Chapter 137 (1/2)

The rankers inside the conference room stare at Nine Tails. Because she is pretty? In looks, Koharu, Kyoko, and Violet do not fall behind either. They are staring in wonderment.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Nine Tails, Eurasia! This is my partner, Alfonso Spen! He’s Swiss and his nickname is Light Shooter.”

“Why are you introducing me? You’re driving me nuts. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Alfonso.”

They bicker endlessly. They were always together in the virtual game, and have been together in reality as well. Rankers really have been in contact with each other.

[She’s a very unique woman.]

[She is unique…..]

Nine Tails is free. She is not free because she likes to do solo missions and plays. Her personality itself is liberal.

She is a very open woman. Excluding Violet’s aggressive nature, they have a lot of similarities. They can tell what kind of person she is just from the way she comes here without a battle suit as though she is taking a walk in her neighborhood park.

[He’s Light Shooter?]

[Yeah. He’s the only sniper of the 36 rankers. He’ll be a lot of help if you get on friendly terms with him.]

Everyone wants to become the best. Park Jin Hyuk is the same. If he wants to become the best sniper, he needs to beat Light Shooter in Life Mission.

“Strategist, you’re the only ranker in the world federation. Who is everyone else?”

Nine Tails smiles brightly and looks at Cha Jun Sung’s group and the new people. The way she looks at them is not rough.

“As you said, I’m the only person here who is in the world federation. This is a separate meeting for just the Lifers who are not in an organization.”

Strategist introduced each person in turn. It is right that each person introduce themselves, but it is better for him to do it so that they can move along quickly.

Nine Tails’ eyes brighten. Light Shooter looks on with interest as well. There are people they ran into in the virtual version, but they have a few relationships with others like Cha Jun Sung and do not know a lot of other rankers.

“Wow! Overload, I always wanted to meet you.”

Light Shooter spoke in a friendly manner. Most of the 36 rankers are equal, but Cha Jun Sung is the only person who succeeded in a level 9 raid.

It can be said that he has more experience than others in Life Mission. It is evident that people will jump through hoops to try to get into his party when he takes on the Evil Queen raid in the distant future.

“Lastly, this is Ms. Violet, who is called the Empress of Light.”

Violet was introduced last because her seat is the farthest.

Nine Tails had already guessed who Violet is because they were all showing their faces. She has not changed her appearance. Her face is the same in the virtual and in reality. There is no way she could not tell who she is.

“You’re the same.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

They are familiar with each other because they were both active in Europe, but they do not have a friendly relationship. They never had a big fight, but they could be compared to water and oil.

They are strangely awkward. Nine Tails has the personality where she tries to get over things without much thought. Even today, she was late. She did apologize, but it was natural in passing.

“I’ll be short. I had all of you gather here so we could separate into teams.”

“Teams?”

“The world federation rankers have grown accustomed to working together over time. It does not look like it, but there is a strong cohesion. If we mix them in with you in this mission, there may be things that don’t fit.”

Strategist will make adjustments in the middle, but close rankers will have each others’ backs.

“A force has 10 parties. We’ll have 100 people. There are 10 people gathered here now – it’s 1 party.”

“Aha!”

“I see.”

The rankers reacted in understanding. Cooperation among forces? It is important.

If a party is lacking in collaboration, however, having a force spread wide does not matter. Even when constructing a building, the bricks are not laid first. A foundation is laid down and pillars are stood up.

“90 people are in the world federation, meaning they have already formed an alliance. Exactly 10 people are independent. You need to help each other.”

It is too difficult to try to mix in with the Lifers within a short period of time. Putting people who do not know each other together to get them on friendly terms is a time saver.

Strategist continued to talk. There are things that he already said and new things.

Most of what he had already said was regarding the description of Public Underground. Nine Tails and Light Shooter needed to get familiarized with it.

“So for the remaining month, what do you think of creating a party and going into missions to form teamwork?”
