Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Ch 26

Chapter 26

“Did you buy a lot of gunpowder?”

“No, it’s expensive, so I only bought 40 sets.”

“Can’t Musketeers fight without gunpowder?”

“Well, that, I can use the musket’s butt but, it will be difficult.”

The Giant Jing Gong Gong nodded. Whenever his big head moved, the crow sitting on his head flapped its wings.

Leeha is more sympathetic towards the Giant Druid than himself, he has no way of dealing damage aside from the crow’s beak and punching directly.

It was to the extent that he raised his level to 10 without having any weapon.

“But doesn’t Jing Gong Gong-nim get hurt? I think it’s the wolves’ bite is pretty painful.”

“At first, it was tingling, but after I lowered the assimilation rate, it got better. It felt like getting bitten by puppies with their gums.”

He laughed, scratching his forearm.

“Instead, I don’t properly feel the sensation when I make simple movements.”

“Hoh, there is a way to do that. There are advantages and disadvantages.”

Leeha looked at his assimilation rate in the setting window. The default value is 20%.

While Middle Earth can realize up to 100% of the senses, the default setting is 20% and the maximum limit of 50%.

The fact that the senses can be realized up to 100% means that the sense of pain also becomes 100%. The legal limit has been established since the deaths occurred in the past virtual reality games.

If you don’t like pain, you have to lower the assimilation rate, naturally the sense of touch also becomes dull. It is natural that in order to get one, you have to abandon one.

“Kiki, of course. It is said that there are quite a few people that raise their assimilation rate to the limit when they fight. They want to feel the wind, the drop of their sweat, and even feel the grassed being stepped on by their shoes. There are cases where such trivial things can determine the winner and loser of a battle, so it makes sense. Some users even wrote a memorandum on Goople and raised their assimilation rate to 80%.”

Leeha also agreed with Biyemi’s words, he briefly recalled various textbooks when he was in the sniper platoon. A lot of knowledge that is still unforgettable. For accuracy.

“Oh, but it looks like it’s very painful even if it’s only 50% of the actual pain, ah! If my arm is bitten, I don’t want to think about it.”

“But it’s not that much. Kiki, a while ago, someone on the internet raised it to 50% in the middle of their broadcast and lit their body on fire. They said it’s more tolerable than you think, it’s like taking a really hot shower?”

Jing Gong Gong’s huge body shuddered as Biyemi gave him a glance. Laughter came out from Leeha after seeing their friendly appearance.

“Oh, that’s the Trio.”

“You guys, are you going to catch wolves?”

“Can we go watch?”

And Leeha, Biyemi, and Jing Gong Gong became a quite famous party in the wolf haunting area. There are so many people who come to see them to study their hunting methods.

There were a lot of people asking to join the party, but three was already enough for them and there was no need to increase the number of party members to share experience with.

“No! We’ll go to the Golden Eagle!”

“Huh? Is it okay to tell them that, Biyemi-nim?

“They will follow if I say that we will be catching wolves but it doesn’t matter because the golden eagle is an Instant Dungeon Kiki. Do not worry.”

“Hmm.”

The fans (?) of Leeha’s party, who are waving their hands in excitement, flinched and had a sullen expression when the Golden Eagle was mentioned.

‘He knows the game well. Is the Vietnamese community bigger than the Korean community?’

Leeha stared at Biyemi, who was in front of him.

No country can openly share information. A lot of high-level information was circulated on private sites in the United States, but in the end, they were closed due to the amount of information getting out of the country.

Vietnam is no different than Korea, with a large number of gamers, the number of lightly shared information is bound to be overwhelming in Korea.

Besides, what kind of people are Korean gamers?

No one can afford to intensively dig into only one field.

It was certainly suspicious that Biyemi, a Vietnamese gamer with similar level to Leeha, had more information than him.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter as it helps me anyway.’

By the time they left the wolf haunting area, a mountain can be seen in the distance.

Candle Mountain. Climbing the mountain right away was the beginning of the quest for the Golden Eagle, which is the graduation requirement for beginners’ villages.

There were quite a few people at the entrance of Candle Mountain.

It was so prosperous that some of the merchants who opened their shops even prepared carts. The hunters go back and forth while bargaining with the merchants, and parties fighting each other is discouraged.

“Oh, crazy. Another failure. The only tanker died.”

“How do we proceed? Should we wait for the tanker?”

“Are you crazy? Why should we wait for two days.”

“Damn it! I said you should ignore them. The Servant Wolves doesn’t even give you experience, so why do you keep on hitting it.”

“No, I was following you. What should I do? As soon as it sees me, it changes aggro. If we threw away the tank and ran, we wouldn’t be able catch the golden eagle. And how do you go up there without dealing with Servant Wolf?”

“Just run! The tanker died because you were not doing you job properly in the first place!”

“What? What did you just say? Fuck, why are you blaming me?”

“Fuck? I’ll report you.”

“Fuck.”

Of course, there are many people, including merchants, because the quest is difficult.

Leeha and his colleagues walked while avoiding the users quarreling. Since other characters can be attacked starting at level 10, it is no exaggeration to say that PK starts here.

“We sell HP Boost Potion. 30% increase in 10 minutes~”

“Fire Arrow Scrolls for sale. 80 silver per sheet!”

In many cases, people failed to buy buff potions or disposable magic scrolls because the prices set by merchants are expensive and is similar to stealing the money that users have saved ever since their beginner’s days. And that is the reason the merchants are treated as public enemies.

“It’s a complete mess.”

“Kiki, of course. Even if you have a party of 4 or 5, you can’t even go beyond the Servant Wolf Zone if you have an odd party.”

“Hey, is there any odder party than ours? Keukkeuk, But what are we really going to do?”

Jing Gong Gong looked around with a cowardly expression, unsuitable for his size. It is impossible for parties to enter the location of other parties.

This is because the Candle Mountain’s Golden Eagle Quest is entered in the form of an instance dungeon. Unlike general hunting grounds, you cannot enter the same dungeon unless you are in the same party, this is because it is a quest dungeon.

“How about organizing a full party?”

Leeha carefully suggested.

A dungeon that a 4 man party failed to complete, how difficult would it be for a 3 man party.

Probably, like the party that tried earlier, there is a high probability of dying while killing the wolves on the way to the top of the mountain.

In addition, they were a decent party with healers and tanks. On the contrary, Leeha’s party did not have a proper tanker or healer.

“Who would join us?”

Biyemi asked with a smile.

“Right. Huh.”

Jing Gong Gong looked sad again. However, unlike Jing Gong Gong, Leeha and Biyemi have confident expressions.

“Isn’t Ha Leeha-nim scared?” Jing Gong Gong asked.

“Well, after hunting, I came up with a better way.”

“What is it?”

“It’s difficult to explain in words. I think you’ll know when we go and try. But aren’t you worried Biyemi-nim?

“Kiki, well, it’s okay. There’s a reason why I have chosen a ugly character. I’ll go in first.”

“Yeah?”

‘What is he talking about?’

Biyemi did not answer Leeha’s question and walked toward the Candle Mountain.

In the distorted space next to where the merchants sat, with the unrealistic scene of the air flowing like a wave, Biyemi’s body disappeared as if he was sucked in.

“I don’t know what to believe. Let’s go as well, Jing Gong Gong-nim.

“Wait.”

‘Is he maybe worried about his crow right now?’

Jing Gong Gong fed his crow by breaking up a jerky.

“Let’s go now.”

“You take good care of your pet.”

“I felt sorry when I met this one. Keukkeuk. Usually druids fight along with their pets while using small bows, but there are no bows made for the giants, so it had to deal all the damage by itself, so I need to feed it properly.”

Hearing Jing Gong Gong’s words, Leeha smiled. It was like that on the Internet, but he thought he was a strangely simple young man.

“Let’s go in as well.”

“Yeah. I am going to believe Ha Leeha-nim.”

“Don’t be a burden.”

Leeha tapped Jing Gong Gong on the back and stepped into the distorted space. Suddenly, he felt like being sucked in.

At that moment, Leeha wondered if the place he hit was not the giant’s back, but the butt. There is a difference in height.

“Come!”

“Move.”

The short woman, hiding behind the tall woman, emerged. Taking a step, terrifying blue hair stretched out into the air.

A feeling of dampness and moisture being drawn in the vicinity. Dozens of wolves trembled, feeling the sudden chill.

“Frost Fog.”

A small hand outstretched into the air. Frost fog falls in the direction the palm points.

Kiing, Kiing! Kuhaang!

Although their health varied individually, most servant wolves fell into place as soon as they breathed in a frosty fog through their nose.

The surviving servant wolves have low health, additionally they can’t run or walk with their lungs frozen. They can only stand as they waited for their death.

“I’ll finish it!”

“Save your mana. They don’t give any experience anyway.”

“Okay?”

Hwayeon, who tried to cast, lowered her hand. Hwajeong walked and stretched out a small wand with the red haired Hwayeon behind. Ice arrows flew towards the standing servant wolves.

It was too much for the servant wolves, whose health is already low, but it did not even decrease Hwajeong’s mana.

“Whew, since I have Hwajeong, the quest will be finished right away.”

“You still have to finish it up.”

“Okay okay. Let’s go.”

The eldest daughter of Hong Kong’s Ram-Long group leader Ram Hwayeon, with the help of her younger sister, was quickly clearing the Golden Eagle Quest.

9th in the world ranking and 5th in the Asian ranking, Cryomancer Ram Hwajeong, all the creatures freeze where her hands reached out, and the ground where she step into become ice.

Whenever her blue hair fluttered in the air, the wolves couldn’t use any strength and fell to the floor.

It took less than an hour for the two women to reach the top of the mountain candle, which normally would take an hour just to climb.

“Is that a golden eagle?”

“Huh. The golden eagles and the king of the golden eagles.”

Beep yiik

An eagle that drews a huge circle on the peak. Hwayeon, who was looking at the sky, was greatly flustered. What with its size while flying in the sky like that?

‘How big is it when it comes down?’

The attack pattern of the Golden Eagle Kind is sound wave when in the sky and its sharp beak and strong wings when in the ground.

In addition, between the attack patterns of the Golden Eagle King, nearby eagles fly and aim at the eyeballs or scratch at users’ shoulders.

With a general party, it is recommended to have four or more people due to its difficulty.

“Cast your strongest spell.”

“Huh? Right now? Isn’t it too far?”

“Just cast.”

Only a blunt answer returned. Hwayeon watched Hwajeong without unknowingly.

Wizards are weak. No matter how high the rank is, an eagle of that size can hurt a lot.

Hwajeong didn’t even think about such a situation at all, and she began to cast magic with his arms outstretched toward the sky.
