Chapter 51 (2/2)
Nations that normally have close relationships share information and show signs of forming alliances.
“In just the exposed part, 7 of the 36 rankers are included.”
“Are you talking about a mutual aid?”
“What do you think if the most powerful of each country link together to complete missions?”
They are each famous players in the virtual version. There are 5 Lifers who have the best equipment in level E and D, and have gone through the 2nd stage of body modifications?
Level D where level 4 mutants appear will be difficult, but they could do whatever they wanted in those lower. Since their professions are all different, they could anticipate the synergy.
There is a turbo engine on their speed in advancing, and they could reach level C in a short amount of time. This is incredible information.
“Are you telling me to commit myself to the government or register in the alliance?”
“You said mutual aid, right? If you need us or we need you, we can help each other according to the situation.”
As it is not just the government, but a worldwide gathering, it surpasses the category of the powerful. In a small scale, it is 7 Stars. Large, it is bringing Chilsung to the world.
“So you’re trying to subsume me. Are there other Lifers who received this proposal?”
“There is a Lifer who will hear it, but you are the first. And that is the 2nd reason why I came looking for you.”
“The 2nd reason?”
“Are you able to get in contact with Overload? There’s no way to find him.”
“Overload….. I see. He existed. I had forgotten.”
By name, he is 1stin the Life Mission ranking. He is a legend in the virtual version as the only Lifer who succeeded in the level 9 Evil Queen raid. Lim Si Hyun had been forgetting because his daily life was so busy.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have contact with him either. He’s a Lifer focused on solo plays….. Oh right. Doesn’t he run a blog?”
Lim Si Hyun had also enjoyed looking up information on the blog. A lot of what they knew overlapped, but the videos were as fun as watching a movie.
“We would be able to find him if we track the IP address, but we believe that might just be counterproductive.”
“Even if you find him through normal means, I don’t think he’ll join the federation. He resisted the seduction of all large guilds in the virtual version as well.”
Han Chang Jin knew that aspect well. He wanted to give advice if he could.
If they maintain a friendly relationship, he might be able to request aid at a later time. Creating ties is the primary goal.
There is nothing to lose in creating friendly ties with any of the 36 rankers, excluding a few crazy people. They will become reliable reinforcements.
“What do you think about sending a note on the blog? He’ll read it.”
“It’s of no use.”
He tried sending notes several times. Each time, there was no response. Cha Jun Sung was either reading and ignoring them, or putting them in Trash because he could not be bothered with reading them.
“We cannot even put up a notice that we are looking for Overload because we could run into trouble regarding personal privacy issues. This is very frustrating.”
Lim Si Hyun scratched his forehead.
Han Chang Jin was awkward in embarrassment. Truthfully, he had not put that much effort into looking for Cha Jun Sung. He was only pretending to look.
“He’ll meet with you if you tell him that you’re Iron King.”
“Will he?”
The Cha Jun Sung that Lim Si Hyun knew was not so stiff. He is rather open. He is like any other Lifer, it is just that he prefers to play solo/
“If the 3 people in Korea get together, we could complete a level D mission as a party.”
The government had its eyes set on 10,000 points. 7 Stars will be similar. The level D advance mission is 20,000 points. With 10,000 points, a level 4 mutant could come out.
“7 Stars is trying to gather talent with 9000 points on the fringe.”
“Likewise for the government.”
Solo missions are impossible in level D. The level 4 mutants are too strong for someone to take them on alone. It is a suicide mission even with class D gear.
A small group could take it on if the mission is under 10,000 points, but filling all 100 spots for anything above that gives them a better chance at surviving.
They had a long conversation. They spoke for a few hours before coming to a close.
“Since I cannot decide this easily, I will consider this issue of registration.”
“I’ll hope for good results.”
Lim Si Hyun asked for contact information, saying that he would notify him of his decision within a few days. Han Chang Jin left his information happily.
Though he had not been able to find Overload, it is fortunate that Lim Si Hyun’s reaction was so positive. Certainty is better than uncertainty.
