Overgeared Chapter 527:
Chapter 527
Mook had considered himself a lucky person . He had felt confident about this since encountering Fog Island on the 7th island of the Behen Archipelago . However, that idea had changed since coming to the East Continent . It was a environment different from what he expected . The difficulty was beyond imagination . Due to this, Mook was isolated in Pangea for a month .
‘Ah, I really have no luck . ’
He crossed over to the East Continent just to run errands for the NPCs and take care of easy mobs? The situation was different from what he imagined . It would have been better if he hadn’t come here . The days when he was a high ranking player on the West Continent were much more interesting .
It was bad luck, not good luck, that he encountered Fog Island . This **** East Continent, he wanted to get away from it . But it wasn’t a decision that could be easily made . Mook only had two East Continent Portal Scrolls . It was a phenomenon caused by lacking points because he encountered Fog Island too soon .
Mook spent his days in Pangea feeling frustration . Then that thought once again changed today .
‘I am really lucky!’
Why had the hamsters weakened overnight?
'Heaven is helping me!’
The hamster hunt was very easy . Before, there were dangerous moments because he had to fight two every time . Then he would have to rest for a few minutes after hunting four or five . Even if he didn’t manage his stamina or mana, the hamsters were so weak that he could hunt for 30 minutes without stopping .
Of course, the amount of experience that they gave was lower . However, the number of hamsters that could be hunted at the same time was greatly increased . In the process of advancing to the center of the monster community, they steadily gained experience . The gallbladders also dropped constantly, so he could probably achieve a 30% poison and confusion resistance .
‘Should I just stay here and hunt? If I could increase my poison resistance to 30%, I will be able to catch the poisonous trolls on the West Continent that I couldn’t before . ’
Honestly, the golden walnuts were too valuable to be wasted like this .
‘It’s better to save the golden walnuts . . . Isn’t this better?’
Even spoke as Mook started to feel conflicted . "We can raise our level on the West Continent . And the gallbladder of the big poisonous rats can be collected later . Don’t forget our purpose . Our real purpose is to gain titles, skills, and items first . ”
Lane agreed . “Evan is correct . Mook, don’t get bogged down by the immediate benefits . We have an obligation to escape from Pangea . ”
"It’s important to act quickly to monopolize various benefits first . The gap with the front runners can’t become bigger . We might be chasing after them forever . ”
Oshihoz' words broke Mook’s conflicted thoughts .
"That's right . Your words are correct . ”
The newbie who came to the East Continent with good timing a . k . a . the masked man . It was time to use him to leave Pangea . Mook controlled his mind again and checked the party window .
Lane - Level 311
Class: ???
Mook - Level 310
Class: ???
Evan- Level 312
Class: ???
Oshihoz - Level 310
Class: ???
??? - Level 320
Class: ???
Lane, Mook, Evan and Oshihoz got to know each other on the East Continent . They might be in the same position, but the time to get to know and trust each other was too short . They only occasionally established a party in order to challenge the big poisonous rat community . But even if they were in a party, they set their class to private like now . That’s why the classes were just question marks .
However, Mook judged there was no need to be so vigilant .
‘The PvP gap isn’t that big between combat classes . The balance is right . ’
It was disconcerting that the masked man was level 320 . The skills that could be learned at level 320 were famous for being powerful . But there were four of them and he was alone . Even if the plan failed and their intentions were revealed, he wouldn’t be able to face them . . .
‘There is nothing dangerous!’
Mook concealed a wicked smile with his hand .
"Everybody, please wait . ”
They were close to the center of the community . It was night and the moon wasn’t out . In the distance, the large tent of the Queen Rat could be seen .
"Half-face . ”
‘Me?’
Was he called Half-face because of the half mask?
‘This naming sense . . . ’
If he was going to have a nickname based on the mask, he would prefer something like Mask Man . Grid felt regret as he replied .
“Yes . ”
"Do you see that big tent over there?”
“Yes . ”
"The leader of the community lives there . ”
‘I killed her . ’
The respawn time for a field boss was approximately three days . In particular, the Queen Rat that Grid killed earlier was likely a named boss . As soon as the Queen Rat died, the big poisonous rats were weakened overall . It was likely that the future Queen Rat would be very weak .
It was unfortunate . Mook wasn’t aware that the Queen Rat had already been hunted . He’d never dreamt of it .
"It’s impossible to catch the leader with the number of people we have in our party . In particular, the Queen Rat is strong . How strong . . . Um, yes . Do you know the big name players like Kraugel, Zibal, and Grid? They wouldn’t be able to hunt it even if they formed a party . ”
‘Why is my name at the end?’
His ego was pricked by his name being after Kraugel’s . Grid snapped out, "So?"
“Unfortunately, it’s our duty to defeat the leader . Why? It’s necessary to enter the fantasy hunting grounds much better than this . ”
'If that fantasy hunting ground is the next monster community . . . I can just go since the queen is already dead . ’
He didn’t bother speaking his thoughts . It would be annoying if he had to explain how he killed the Queen Rat .
‘In the first place, I wonder how they were planning to defeat the Queen Rat . ’
Grid was feeling interested when Mook handed him a small pouch .
“What’s this?”
Mook let out a laugh at the question .
“Open it . It’s just walnuts . ”
“Walnuts?”
“All of the big poisonous rats, including the Queen Rat, are partial to walnuts . It will lure them . ”
“Hrmm . ”
Grid opened the bag and saw that it really contained walnuts . They were walnuts in a perfect condition before being peeled . They were big with an extraordinarily smooth surface .
“Starting from now, set the walnuts at 2 meter intervals leading up to the entrance of the Queen Rat’s tent . The Queen Rat will be attracted by the smell of the walnut and will be led away . ”
"You will leave the community during this gap?”
Grid’s eyes flashed behind the mask .
‘What? At this moment, he seems like an entirely different person . . . ’
His eyes were fierce . It was like he was looking down at them with arrogance . To exaggerate it a little bit, he was like a king of heaven . The eyes behind the mask were similar to a raptor contemplating its prey . It was a force that felt difficult to resist . It happened because Grid was born with naturally sharp eyes and a high dignity stat .
“Haha . . . ” Mook forgot to breathe in front of those eyes . Then he responded calmly without losing his smile . “What are you saying? No . We naturally won’t leave without you . ”
Grid’s eyes returned to normal .
“Oh, what is this? Won’t I become the target of the Queen Rat if I place the walnut at the entrance to the tent? Are you going to run away while I’m attacked?”
“No . The Queen Rat is only attracted to walnuts and won’t notice you . ”
“How can I believe that? Why won’t you play this role?”
“Haha, didn’t I tell you? We know a lot of good hunting grounds . We always use this method to move to another fantasy hunting ground . Putting walnuts at the entrance to the Queen Rat’s tent is something we do all the time . We want to give you this role so that you can experience what it is like to move to another hunting ground . ”
‘Isn’t this strange?’
It was impossible for it to be the truth . But Grid was filled with kindness . In the first place, the Queen Rat wasn’t present . There was no danger and no reason to refuse, so Grid nodded .
“I understand . I will trust you and do my part . ”
"Good choice . "
Mook looked at Grid with relief, while also having a nasty grin on his face .
‘The Queen Rat does like walnuts . But she likes the flesh of humans more . She will try to taste you before the walnuts . ’
Be the scapegoat as planned . In that gap, they would leave this place and say goodbye to Pangea! The blissful Mook’s party left Grid behind . Grid looked at them in the distance and pulled out a walnut from the pouch .
"There’s no need to scatter this on the ground for the Queen Rat . ”
It was better to eat the walnuts while moving to the next hunting ground . He had close to 3,000 strength . The hard walnut shell was useless in front of Grid’s strong fingers . He easily exposed the insides . It was amazing that the husk was completely powdered while the insides were fine . This was the result of Grid’s legendary dexterity .
"Yum . "
Grid placed the walnut in his mouth . At that moment .
‘Delicious!’
Grid’s eyes widened . As soon as the walnut was placed in his mouth, a unique nutty flavor exploded? Then sweetness spread as he chewed . It was so much better than Idan’s food that Grid was in tears .
"I have to eat more . . . Eh?”
Grid swallowed one walnut and was placing his hand in the pouch when he stopped . He was completely stiff, like a stone statue . He was amazed at the incredible effects .
[You have eaten a golden walnut . ]
[All stats will rise by 10% for one hour . ]
[The kernel of the golden walnut is perfect without any damage . It provides a complete supply of nutrients . ]
[Intelligence has risen permanently by 5 . ]
“ . . . Eh?”
Grid couldn’t understand the situation .
“Ah . . . ”
Grid was filled with emotions . It was better than joy .
“Those people . . . They are big pushovers . ”
They mistook this amazing walnut for common walnuts and tried to feed them to monsters? How pathetic . They couldn’t even take care of their own rice bowls .
"Aigoo, tsk tsk . I don’t think they’re scammers . ”
Grid clicked his tongue and placed the walnut pouch to one side of the inventory . Of course, there was no way he would return the walnuts to Mook .
