Chapter 116 Back to the Desert (1)


    Shurim Returns Again.


    It''s been less than a month since Jaeyoung left this desert, but in the meantime, the ce has changed beyond recognition.


    “The camel caravan that will go to the Dwarf Vige is leaving now.”


    “I sell ice rake crystals. It''s straight from heatstroke.”


    “The shortest time guide to Dwarf Vige is leaving now. A Crisis Sensing Rank 9 Explorer. Don''t be afraid of the attack of the scorpions and go over itfortably!”


    “Take a look at the dwarf-made equipment. Cheap! cheap.”


    A small, secluded vige located near Shurim. However, the ce was filled with people and NPCs who had flocked here and there.


    “Wow... is that vige right then?”


    A huge crowd that seemed to have easily exceeded the capacity of the town. And the entrance of Shurim, a super-heated sand desert, was forming a street corner due to the merchants and usersing and going here and there.


    “be careful. Scorpions here are no joke. Instead of trying to fight as much as possible, you have to slow it down with freezing magic and run away.”


    “If you get stung by a poisonous needle, there is no answer. Even if you have an antidote, prepare well and go.”


    “Drinking water? I have to stock up on them in the inventory window.”


    A desert full of powerful and gigantic scorpions, with no oases and hiding in the sand in the scorching heat. In the past, it was and of death where it was impossible to guarantee the safe return of those who set foot in this dangerous desert, but the intense pioneering spirit of the people triggered by Jaeyoung poured out all kinds of strategy and destruction methods for this desert of death and overcame it. have done it


    “Well... it''ll be easier than then.”


    A situation where a lot of coping methods and strategies for dangerous situations have been revealed by people. That''s why Jaeyoung smiled in relief at the fact that, likest time, he didn''t have to use Probability as a strong god, but he could pay a small fee and go with a group of guinea pigs to the Dwarf Vige.


    “Sheesh... It''s a waste.”


    “Hmm... that’s unfortunate.”


    The angel and the devil are licking their lips with expressions of regret at Jaeyoung''s momentum, which doesn''t seem like he''s going to use his strength. Jaeyoung red at these two clumps of desire, who were eager to rip off the probabilities whenever they had the chance.


    “By the way, the owner... the friend I''m supposed to meet now.”


    As soon as Jae-young red at him, Tan changed the topic. He asked like he was really curious.


    “What kind of guy are you?”


    “hmm? What kind of guy are you?”


    “Um... so what is it, a unique human being like the owner? Do you have a probability or...?”


    Tan''s face is full of anticipation. At a nce, he was wearing a sinister smile, simr to Jaeyoung''s, as if he would insert a straw and suck it right away if he had the probability.


    “...You really have gone crazy with probability.”


    “ah! what! Do you also try the demon king? Do you know how much money is going out these days? Just trying to restore the now-destroyed Deathbringer will break it, how many chances are there?”


    Tan''s obsession with probability intensified after the Deathbringer was destroyed. At Jaeyoung''s words, Tan seemed to have umted a lot in the meantime, and he murmured for a long time, pouring outmentation and sadness. Unfortunately, however, Jae-gyun was not a special person with a job that could build probabilities like Jae-young.


    “Jaegyun? Are you Jaekyun?”


    A user with a chubby appearance standing in the ce where we promised to meet and looking around with a nervous face. Even at a nce, the ‘real'' aura that Jaekyun felt was overflowing, so Jaeyoung approached with confidence and asked.


    “who....?”


    Jae-gyun seemed embarrassed when he called his real name. But then he opened his eyes wide and shouted.


    “Dedex?! Jaeyoung! You really came!”


    “Shh. It''s too loud.”


    Jae-kyun shouts too loudly with an expression of sincere joy. Jaeyoung was shocked by his reaction and spoke urgently. Soon, Jaekyun realized that there were too many people around him and kept his mouth shut.


    “I’m sorry. I was so surprised that I stopped noticing...”


    “If possible, don''t call me by that name... um... wait a minute.....”


    There are too many eyes around you, so it''s impossible to move around freely. So Jaeyoung took out the deceiver''s mask from his inventory and put it on.


    [Equipped with the mythical item Deceiver''s Mask.]


    [The power of deceit and camouge covers the yer''s body.]


    [The false beingpletely covers the original identity.]


    Slowly.


    When you put the mask on your face, it naturally melts and sticks to you. Checking the status window for a moment, confirming the disguised identity, looked at Jae-gyun and said.


    “From now on, call me Kaiser, Kaiser.”


    “What!”


    Jae-young, who changed her appearance in an instant in front of her eyes. Jaekyun shouted with a shocked face.


    “What did you just do? Is it a disguise skill? No... I can''t change the disguise or camouge to such a perfect degree...?”


    Jae-kyun carefully examines Jae-young''s face with both hands. Jaeyoung frowned at his hand pulling his cheek back and forth and removed his hand.


    “It’s an item effect. More than that... Touch it somewhere. The touch of a fellow male is not eptable.”


    “Wow... that’s really amazing.”


    Jaekyun continues to look closely at him with a disbelief face, as if it is strange that such an item exists. The rest of his gaze was burdensome, and Jaeyoung hurriedly changed the topic.


    “Anyway... Shall we leave right now? It will take quite a while to get to the Dwarven Vige.”


    “huh! OK. I figured out a way to get to the Dwarf Vige while waiting for you toe.”


    “okay? How are you going?”


    Jae-young asks with a look of surprise at Jae-gyun''s words that he knew the method in advance. However, his answer soon turned into a confused face.


    “There''s a ‘GM Merchant'' among the guilds going to the Dwarf Vige, right? I think we can follow along on the way to the top there. They left just in time for us. So, I applied for two people. Look at this! I also canceled the ticket.”


    Jaekyun proudly speaks while holding two tickets. However, Jaeyoung did not show it on the outside, but inside he let out a sigh.


    ‘Haa..... Even if you choose the top, it''s true.....''


    GM top.


    A bad rtionship formed in the estate of the Duke of Bergen. The parties were unaware of it, but he knew better than anyone else the hardships they had suffered because of him, so it was one of the organizations that Jae-young did not want to be involved with in the game.


    ‘Unlike the others, they have a powerful influence in real life...''


    The Holy Empire and various nobles and kingdoms are just illusions that exist only in virtual reality, but unlike them, the GM Group exists in the real world where Jae-young lives. It''s not as good as before, but it was a group with money and power that anyone living in Korea couldn''t dare to ignore, so he needed to be a little careful about his actions.


    “what''s the matter....? Any problem?”


    A situation where you have already paid a high price and even saved a ticket. Nevertheless, looking at Jaeyoung, who was making a confused expression, Jaekyun was restless and didn''t know what to do.


    “Hmm... is that the only corps that departs the fastest?”


    “huh? no that''s not it There was one more but...”


    “I did?”


    “Because it was so small in scale, I didn’t trust it much...”


    The scorpions were too powerful for one or two users to deal with. The best thing to do was to take a detour by avoiding the ce where they are hiding, or make it as slow as possible with freezing magic and run away, so if you make a mistake, your life is dangerous in the desert. So, Jaekyun was the one who picked the most reliable giant, but not Jaeyoung.


    ‘If anything, I just have to push it away with my strong body.....''


    Even if the worst situationes, it''s just a case of probabilities or ripped off, so there''s no need to worry about death, so Jae-young decided to avoid an ufortable situation and said.


    “Then let’s get on top of that and go. I don’t want to get involved with GM because I’m a bit close.”


    “Is that so? But... I can''t refund this.....” Jaekyun


    muttered with a puzzled face at Jaeyoung''s words. Seeing Jae-kyun''s hesitant attitude about whether it cost a lot, Jae-young said casually.


    “How are you? I''ll ask you that.”


    “huh? oh no It doesn''t matter! It''s really okay.”


    Jae-kyun waves his hand in a violent reaction to Jae-young''s request to ask. However, Jaeyoung said firmly.


    “I am changing it because I want it, but of course I have to ask for the sign price. How much is it.”


    “That''s 1 gold per person .....”


    One way per person at the current market price of 100,000 won or so is an enormous amount. However, the amount of gold that Jaeyoung possessed was too much to ignore, so it was not a burdensome amount.


    jiggle.


    Two shiny gold coins from your inventory. He handed it to Jaegyun and said.


    “You’re also a college student, so your pocketbook isn’t very good, so don’t worry about things like this. You have to be bold and ask for what you deserve.”


    As usual, Jae-gyun is not able to say anything unpleasant to Jae-young and is worried that he may have offended Jae-young. When Jaeyoung gave him sincere advice, Jaekyun looked moved.


    “Jaeyoung.....”


    Jaekyun looks like he might shed tears if he stimtes him a little more. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said with more serious eyes than ever before.


    “Because it’s Kaiser.”


    “Oh right. I''m sorry.”


    In any case, Jae-kyun shows off his sloppiness in every clumsy action. Seeing him like that, Tan and L said a word with really disappointed faces.


    “What is the owner? Who is that lowly human?”


    “You are a very depressed person. It looks like it needs a lot of care andfort.”


    Compared to Jaeyoung, Jaegyun is nothing more than a human being who falls far short of normalcy. Looking at him like that, Tan and L expressed regret that they couldn''t carry out the n they had imagined so far.


    “If you’re a decent human being, I thought I’d attach a demon to it and corrupt it and use it.”


    “That''s too bad. I wondered if they had found someone who could realize Heaven''s will on the continent.”


    These two are full of thoughts of trying to use them somehow. Jaeyoung looked at the two with a pitiful look without saying anything, and then started to move along with Jaegyun.


    “Here! Wait...”


    How long did it take?


    Jae-kyun stopped at a warehouse-like ce full of camels and carts, told Jae-young to wait a moment, and then ran to a corner and talked to someone. Then he returned to Jaeyoung and said with a bright face.


    “He was just about to leave. They say you can participate by paying 20 silver per person!”


    “okay. Then let''s go there.”


    Much cheaper than GM''s top end. Of course, at a nce, it was a small guild that showed an overwhelming gap, but it seemed that the minimum assortment was matched, so Jaeyoung nodded without worrying.


    “ha ha ha. Nice to meet you. I am Apple at the top of the ‘top of the pie.’”


    “I’m the injured drinker, Lemon.”


    The upper part and the floating part that seem to have loosened at least one screw. Seeing the nicknames of the two men and women as if they were matched intentionally, Jaeyoung made a strange expression and held out his hand.


    “My name is Kaiser.”


    “Thank you for using our top. I was struggling to find people to apany me because the scale was so small.”


    Although they are preparing for the minimum, the more users who can support them in case of an encounter with a scorpion or an unexpected situation, the better, so the two responded favorably to the newpanion.


    “We have plenty of drinking water and food, so please let us know if you get any abnormal conditions or your physical strength is exhausted. We have prepared everything, so you should be able to arrive within three days without too much trouble.”


    “is it so. I have one more question.”


    “yes. Please speak.”


    “You two... do you know each other? The nickname fits so exquisitely.”


    “Oh, just the two of us?”


    The two are looking into each other''s eyes and smiling. Apple put an arm around Lemon''s shoulder and said in a yful voice.


    “We are newlyweds who have just been married.”


    “Oh, I see. Somehow, the nickname was so unique that I did something.”


    Somehow, Sang Sangju and Sangju Danju seemed too friendly. When Jaeyoung nodded as if she understood the story of the couple. Jaekyun murmured with his eyes widened as if they were going to pop out.


    “Wow... I’m envious. Couple gamers...”


    The two couples are enjoying a virtual reality game together in a sweet way. Looking at it with envy, Jae-young heard Jae-gyun muttering something and shuddered with an inexplicable chill.


    “Can I be with Chaeyeonter like that?”


    “.....”


    It was Jae-kyun''s unrequited love that seemed to be twisting in a strange direction as time passed.
