Episode 195.

Find hunting grounds.

Probably, this is something most users have tried when they were beginners.

You need to level up as quickly and efficiently as possible, so securing a good hunting ground is important for that.

The key is to find a hunting ground that doesn’t have too many people and has moderately weak monsters.

But once your level reaches a certain level, there is no need to go through all this hassle.

No matter which territory of which kingdom you went to, there was always a place for these intermediate users to hunt.

Also, from this section onwards, the number of users has decreased somewhat compared to when they were in the lower ranks, so there is no need to fight with each other due to a lack of hunting grounds.

But once you reach the top, things are different again.

From this point on, you have reached a point where you can no longer level up in hunting grounds that others have already found.

In Avala Online, growth through simple grinding is almost never achieved.

This means that no matter how many weak monsters you slaughter, your level will not increase.

You must be at least as level as yourself, or slightly higher, to gain meaningful experience through hunting.

Or even boss monsters, even if their level is a little lower.

Therefore, in order to level up further, they had to find hunting grounds appropriate for their level.

Whether you’re exploring uncharted territory, discovering dungeons, or completing raids through quests…

That was the reason why the top guilds, without exception, put their heart and soul into nurturing explorer rankers.

It was in this context that Ian turned his eyes to Arthur last time.

Because the job of explorer rankers was to explore unexplored areas like this or discover new quests.

Jeong Yu-ra asked.

“Then you did it in the past too?”

By old times, I think he was referring to the first era of Avala Online.

Lee Shin shook his head.

“I didn’t do it.”

“… … ?”

“To be exact, I couldn’t do it. I had no explorer skills at all.”

“Then how did you level up?”

“You stole someone else’s hunting ground.”

“… … .”

Stealing hunting grounds that other guilds have acquired over a period of weeks or even months. This was Isin’s favorite method.

Because it didn’t require much effort, and the rewards were clear.

-Boohoo! You bad guy!

-Why on earth are you doing this!

-If you had just taken the gold and items before, that would have been enough!

-We still have kids who haven’t even finished their death penalty yet…!

Of course, I also received a huge amount of resentment… .

At that time, Lee Shin was receiving such resentment on a daily basis, so he didn’t mind just letting it go.

Regardless of who resented him, Isin would stubbornly go to the hunting grounds that others had found and take only the best from them, then move on to the hunting grounds that other guilds had found.

but.

‘Not now.’

Things are a little different now.

The status of the large guilds is much higher now than it was then, and conversely, the growth of the Isin is much lower now than it was then.

It’s a little dangerous.

Above all, there was a way to find hunting grounds even without doing that.

“You said you’ve never done it before?”

“Don’t ask me to do it. Just ask someone else to do it.”

“Oh, should I ask the Union Guild?”

“No? There’s already a lot of work to do there, so you can’t.”

The original work that was supposed to be done by Isin (managing the territory and managing the adventurers in the territory) was already being handled by the leadership of the Union Guild.

Lee Shin occasionally stopped by the territory to check on how things were going.

Although they are experienced workers and work very quickly, it was inevitable that they would rush to do something that was suddenly assigned to them.

Thanks to this, the Union Guild leadership is currently very busy.

First of all, soon we’ll have to assign a few Explorer Rankers to Arthur, so we’ll be short on personnel even more.

“Then what should I do?”

“are you okay.”

“… … ?”

But it didn’t matter.

From the beginning, the people that Isin had been trying to call were not the Union Guild’s rankers.

“Then who is it?”

“friend.”

“Do you have any friends?”

“you.”

“… … !”

“And there’s Arthur, Jeras, Dokgo, Grania, and Ian.”

“… … .”

‘Isn’t the back almost warm?’

Surely I wasn’t included in that, I thought, but I didn’t bother asking.

I thought that if it was some kind of god, I could nod my head without hesitation.

……anyway.

Through the conversation above, we know who Isin is planning to call.

“Jeras?”

“uh.”

“Was that guy an explorer?”

“No, that’s not it, but I guess I have some explorer connections.”

Before he switched to Avala Online, Jeras was a professional game broadcaster.

As the scale of the broadcast was large, there were naturally many connections, and among them, there were quite a few people with skills comparable to the current rankers.

‘Can I just ask them to come together?’

-hey.

I immediately whispered to Jeras while I was at it. He must have been online at the time, so I got a reply right away.

-yes?

“… … ?”

But the reaction was different from what was expected.

I thought there would be some kind of reaction, like someone suddenly being flustered and asking what was going on, or getting angry and asking what was going on… .

It was more polite than I thought!

The reason became clear soon enough.

Jeras asked cautiously.

-who are you?

“Ah, somehow.”

-????

“It’s me, it’s me. Have you forgotten me?”

He didn’t remember this person.

Well, it wasn’t strange that we gradually forgot about it because it happened so long ago.

Jung Yu-ra started a fight.

“… … Could it be that it was such a terrible thing that I just wanted to forget it?”

“No? If it’s something so horrible that you want to forget it, then you’ll never be able to forget it.”

That was true.

In reality, the rankers who had been beaten to death by Isin still remembered him.

-Sob sob, stop it now…!

-Please stop killing me!

Of course, I don’t remember it as a good memory, but rather as a shiver-inducing experience… .

First of all, I still remembered it.

-Looking at the fact that you’ve been added as a friend, I guess we met somewhere… Where did we meet?

“Don’t you remember me? We met in the Kingdom of Eton.”

-The Kingdom of Eton?

“Huh? Huh.”

-Have I been to a place like that?

‘… It’s serious.’

“I went.”

-… … .

“I went and did the pirate quest together.”

-Pirate… Huh?

“Then we met again in the orc haunted area.”

-Huh? … … Huh?!?!

Jeras was startled as something suddenly occurred to him.

As soon as he remembered everything, he cursed in a hoarse voice.

-You fucking dog, really?!

“Haha, did you remember?”

-Why all of a sudden…! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Stop.

“… … ?”

The whisper suddenly cut off.

When Isin tilted his head, wondering, “What is this?” without any fear.

I got a call again.

-Hold on, we’re on air.

“ah.”

-That’s enough. What’s going on all of a sudden? Didn’t we already settle the accounts between us back then?

“calculate?”

-Hey you punk, I…! I, I said I was sorry!

Jeras stuttered as he recalled the humiliating memory of when he had to kneel down and apologize before Isin’s .

Of course, Isin remembered everything, but he pretended not to remember and answered.

“Hmm. Was that so?”

-Hey you crazy kid!!!

“You crazy kid? Are you swearing at me just now?”

-Then you won’t be able to curse?!

“… … Ah, if you keep doing this, I’ll feel so bad that one day I might suddenly release your apology video… … .”

-Huh? Hey, hey hey hey!! Wait a minute!

Jeras, who was furious, quickly stopped Isin.

There was no choice.

‘This guy really does it!’

Because the opponent was a guy who would do it if he really wanted to.

If they were going to play chicken, the less crazy Xerath was bound to lose.

-Oh, I’m sorry. I was too excited.

“Hmm, I’ll just look at it this once.”

‘… dog xx’

-Anyway, why did you call me? You’re suddenly picking a fight… No, I didn’t call you to ask how you were doing.

“I wanted to do something with you, but… before that, what is your level?”

-My level?

“uh.”

Why are you asking this?

Although Jeras felt a little puzzled, he answered anyway.

It wasn’t at a level where I was embarrassed to tell others.

-I’m in the late level 200s now.

“Oh, already?”

Higher level than you think!

Isin’s eyes grew wide.

Based on the skills I saw back then, I thought he would be around level 200 by now… .

‘Is it because the play time is long?’

It seemed like that.

Unlike Lee Shin, who was studying and working, this was his job.

The gap in the time they spent together was so large that he was actually higher level than Ishin despite the skill gap.

‘That’s a good thing.’

I was worried that it would be too low level to be useful, but at least that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Lee Shin smiled with satisfaction and brought up the matter.

“Then, will you party with me?”

-why.

“Let me find a hunting ground.”

-why…?

Both were ‘why?’, but the meaning contained within them was different.

Xerath also fully understood what it meant to find a hunting ground.

As his level went up, it was becoming harder and harder for him to find hunting grounds that suited his level.

I was starting to feel the need to change my hunting grounds.

So, that ‘why?’ wasn’t a question of reason. It meant ‘why you of all people?’

“why?”

-uh?

“why?”

-Oh, no. Because I like it… … .

But, since he was already in a weak position, he had no right to refuse.

Jeras answers weakly.

Lee Shin continued talking with a smile.

“Right? I’ll tell you the place, so come right now.”

-But I’m not an explorer?

“Do you know any explorers?”

-That’s it.

“Then call that person.”

-What? I can’t call you right now?

“why?”

-Because I’m in the middle of another quest.

“Then just call me. I’ll pay you double the market price.”

-Ah, if that’s the case… I understand.

Jeras answers obediently.

There were several calculations involved here.

Once I had my weakness figured out, it was quite burdensome to reject Isin’s offer… .

I thought that there was no need to refuse now.

The salary for a first-class explorer is so high that it would be quite burdensome even for a successful broadcaster.

But since Isin offered to do it for him instead, he thought it was worth it even though he was suddenly called.

‘Anyway, I can’t have the hunting grounds all to myself… .’

Once an area is discovered together, it is displayed on everyone’s map the moment it is discovered.

And this is not something that can be erased. No matter how much Lee Shin PKs or threatens.

That means it must be shared… .

‘Hunting ground information is valuable.’

You can use it like this, or you can just remember it and sell the information to other large guilds.

It may vary depending on the hunting ground, but you can still get quite a bit of gold.

If that’s the case, the broadcast will have to take a break for a while, but it’s not so bad.

The calculation was:

but.

After the conversation between the two ended, Jeong Yu-ra, who had been listening quietly from the side, asked.

“Are you really going to give me the salary?”

“no?”

“… … .”

… … Jeras still had not properly understood the human being called Isin.
