Chapter 19
Leeha tried desperately not to look at her.
Hmm, a Hong Kong woman.
“W-What if a critical hit goes off? Then, what level should it be, Hwajeong-ah?”
“The assassin class job must also be at least level 70. The probability of instakill from a normal attack is one in ten thousand. Almost none. Above all, Black Angus is a hidden boss. You can get it at low level, but the difficulty is equivalent to a level 30 monster. If you die, the quest will fail, and most users ignore it due to automatic deletion.”
“Heol.”
This time, Leeha sighed. Was it that great? No, that's right. It makes sense, that's the reason for the description.
Aren’t you ashamed of playing in the beginner zone at your level?Get out of the beginner zone quickly! From the point of view of the artificial intelligence, the person who reached level 90 came to catch the hidden boss of a beginner village.
“Ho, really. I didn't know that. Even after researching, I did not have enough information. I should research more thoroughly.”
Hwayeon shook her head and sighed.
Until then, Leeha was only listening to their words.
There weren't only one or two hints to get from their conversation.
‘When a normal attack triggers an instant death, she is talking about the combat assistance system. Tsk，The answer is to turn off the combat assistance system and manually aim for weakness. And the fact that the instant death system is a tremendous element that can reduce the difference in level by 10 times at once. Of course, it is possible because the center of the forehead iss a weak point, and that I aimed correctly at it.’
“But how did you know my stats?”
“Scroll.”
‘There's something like that?’
Leeha nodded as if he knew. If he knew the price of a Scroll, he might have fainted.
“Okay, Korean Ha Leeha.”
Hwayeon tilted her upper body while supporting her arm on the table. Her tone changed a little.
“Yes? How did you know I'm Korean? No, I was the one who mentioned it.”
When Hong Kong's Ram Hwajeong said something, Leeha said it himself, he asked if they knew the Korean Ha Leeha. Now it was a very embarrassing statement. In front of the 9th in the global rankings, what right does he have when he's not even level 9 yet.
“The level is low, and the job is unique, but I like it.”
“I've been saying this for a while, but I'm sure I'm a lot older. Don't-”
“Would you like to join our guild?”
“-keep talking. Yes?”
Leeha's eyes widened.
Ram Hwayeon, stroked her red hair expressionlessly and opened her mouth again.
“Are you going to join our guild? For now, our Hwajeong is the guild master.”
“What?”
‘For now?’
Ram Hwayeon herself is the real guild master, but since her level is low, does it mean that the younger sibling is the guild leader “for now”? Ram Hwayeon's self-confident attitude made Leeha curious about her.
But now, being invited to join their guild got him confused instead of curious.
“You know I'm level 6?”
Ram Hwayeon nodded.
“Also, as your younger sister said, I am wearing something like a ‘lower-grade crude musket’”
“We can buy the best item you can wear, eventually.”
“Do you know how precious Middle Earth money is?”
Ram Hwayeon raised the side of her mouth without answering.
The smile that said that there was no need to worry about it.
Therefore, Leeha refused.
Ram Hwayeon's mouth did not come down.
“Heung? You don't know yet? The meaning of the proposal I've made now?”
“I don't know, so I have to refuse. My mom told me not to follow someone I don't know who gives me candy.”
At Leeha's words, Ram Hwayeon and even Ram Hwajeong smiled.
“Kek. Good. Contact me if you change your mind. Anyway, since we invited you to join our guild. Is it okay to add you as a friend?”
“If you speak a little more politely, it might be okay.”
However, the request to add a friend popped up without an answer from Leeha. Leeha pressed the Yes button.
“I'll pay for the bill. Oh, and thank you for saving me.”
Hwayeon stood up from her seat.
“Saving you? Ah. That?”
If Lee Had not stepped out from behind the rock at that time, Ram Hwayeon would have surely died.
She was calling Hwajeong for help, but before the two met, Black Angus would have eaten Ram Hwayeon.
And since she had seen the cruel death of the Healer, who was in the same party, Hwayeon was even more grateful to Leeha.
“Let's go Hwajeong”
“Yes.”
Leeha looked at the blue-haired Ram Hwajeong for a while. Suddenly, a window for adding a friend popped up in Leeha's eyes.
This time, Leeha was also a little surprised.
Ram Hwayeon added him as she was around level 10, but a ranker directly wanted to add him as a friend. Leeha pressed yes with a casual face.
While Ram Hwayeon went to the exit, Ram Hwajeong kept looking at Leeha.
“Hwajeong quickly”
“Oh，umm……. Are you not…… leaving?”
Even at Hwayeon's call, Hwajeong did not move. And Leeha was uncomfortable with this expressionless little lady.
“See you next time.”
“R-right. So.”
“Oppa.”
What-ppa?
The Leeha's head tilted, and Hwajeong turned around and left.
The big tall redhead and the small tall bluehead.
The Ram Sisters of Hong Kong left while receiving the gaze of users in Candle Castle Pub.
“Whew……. Storm like people, storm like quest.”
Leeha fell on the pub's table.
Suddenly, laughter leaked out, he felt that he had been recognized for his worth, and he was very satisfied that he had completed all the quests related to Black Angus.
‘Oops, I have to go before the sun rises.’
After having a breathtaking night, now it time to get the results.
“Ohh, This red eyeball. You really got it in one day! Sorry if I ignored you before!”
“You're welcome. Please give me quests next time as well.”
“Of course, of course! What can't I entrust to the person who caught the Black Angus in one day?”
The owner of the accessory store put his hands into his pocket.
And every time he shook it, the sound of coins sounded and made Leeha's ears happy.
Tada!
[You have completed the quest to obtain the red orb of freaky hobbies.]
[Friendship with all NPCs in Candle Castle increases by 15%.]
[Intimacy with the owner of the Candle Castle accessory shop, Kutir, increased by 15%.]
[Acquired 90 copper.]
“Indeed, the claws are sharp. Where did you get this guy? That's it. Because of this guy, even the rabbit around Candle Castle seems to have become ferocious. Heum,heum. I heard that the black-furred rabbit is powerful, but my God. I can see from its claws. Thank you! I will make a weapon with this.”
“Make a great weapon, boss.”
“Ha Leeha-kun, thank you. Thank you, thank you!”
Snap. Chap，Chap. Leeha's is grinning from ear to ear.
Tada!
[You have completed the ground dagger quest.]
[Friendship with all NPCs in Candle Castle increased by 15%.]
[Intimacy with Tikel, the owner of Candle Castle Weapon Shop, increases by 15%.]
[You have acquired 80 copper.]
[You leveled up.]
‘Oh? It also gives you experience! Well, it was the king of rabbits.’
Leeha left the weapon shop and moved.
In the Tailor's shop in the early morning, the lady owner was already waiting for Leeha.
“Omo，This is it, this is it! How is the color of the fur so fair?”
“Even in the moonlight, how smooth the black was, it was amazing.”
“Riiiiight! Thanks Leeha. If I make a coat with this, it will turn out well.”
It's a rabbit fur coat. It is definitely an item that sells well even in modern times. Leeha nodded and scratched his head, and the aunt in the Tailor Shop brought the goods.
[You have completed the luxurious black coat quest.]
[Friendship with all NPCs in Candle Castle increased by 15%.]
[Intimacy with Sandy, owner of Candle Castle Tailor Shop, increased by 15%.]
[You have acquired a Common Quilt Top(Khaki).]
“Now, this is the reward I promised. I thought it would be perfect like this, so I gave it extra effort. And this is spe.cial.com.pen.sa.tion."
“Special compensation? It wasn't mentioned before.”
“The rumor about Leeha has spread all over the place. Aren't you the number one contributor on Candle Castle shopping street? I'm sorry that I can only give this much.”
[Acquired 50 copper.]
[Skill-level of bargaining has risen to 3.]
“Oh, thank you, Madam!”
“Can I ask for your help next time?”
“As much as I can. Then I'll stop by next time!”
“Yeah, there are pants that go with them, so come buy them!”
Leeha squeezed out the benefit until the moment he got separated from the owner. He completed three quests in an instant.
‘The rumor spread? Is it the NPC intimacy in Candle Castle’
If you combine the rabbit quest from Guard Captain Jiat, Leeha's current intimacy to all NPCs in Candle Castle is a whopping 55%. It means that wherever he went, they will treat him favorably.
In the alleyway, he quickly removed his old clothes and put on the common Quilt Top, the clothes fit nicely to Leeha's body. His shoulders were wide open enough, and his waist was moderately well-formed. Compared to the tunic, which is darker and has a longer neck, it is a tremendous change in appearance.
‘This beginner's clothes. Still, it is a waste to throw it away. Will they give me 1 copper if I sell it? Or I might be able to use it as a rag later, so I have to take it with me.’
After folding the beginner's top and putting it in a bag, Leeha headed to the bakery. It's time to cook the NPCs who made him suffer one by one.
“Welcome, Annie's Baker- Oh my. Ha Leeha-nim!”
"Hi. Looks like you just opened the Bakery.”
Annie, the owner of the bakery with a pigtail, who was responding to users who visited the bakery even in the early morning, stopped and looked at Leeha, her eyes as round as a rabbit's.
In addition to the words of the owner of the Tailor Shop that rumors have spread to NPCs, she seemed surprised by Leeha's clothes.
“Yes, yes the first breads have just been baked. Would you like a taste?”
"Taste? No. I still have the bread you gave me last time. I don't have money to spare. Haha."
“Money! Do you think of me like that? I'm sorry. Take your time and eat some bread. You haven't eaten breakfast either, right?”
Were we in that kind of relationship? If she knew his circumstances from before, that Leeha only had one copper in his pocket, and was not able to complete the quest in 12 hours, the bad rumors about him would have spread.
A cute pigtail with a hidden dark side. Leeha trembled watching Annie's attitude change in a single day.
‘Women are scary. Did she even hear rumors that the hunt was successful? She changed her attitude in an instant.'
Annie took out bread and milk and handed it over to Leeha.
“You eat first while I'm working. Sit here.”
“Then, I’ll eat it well.”
Following Annie’s instructions, Leeha sat on the chair. The users who were choosing and buying bread were busy looking at Leeha talking to Annie.
“Hey, what did he do, the NPC also gave him bread?”
“I know, right. Besides, it's expensive bread. I completed the quest to get flour 4 times but I was not able to cut the price down to 1 copper.
“I do not know. I'm not sure either. Haha.”
Leeha smiled brightly as he drank milk. A quest to get the flour? If you compare such an errand with the Black Angus Leeha will be sad.
‘Although familiarity with individual stores is the same, the intimacy of the whole village is important. That's right. The British uncle was like that too. The rumors between merchants are fast.’
In other words, among the merchants at Candle Castle, there was a consensus that Leeha was useful. After Leeha ate the free bread and milk, Annie, who sent the users out, approached.
“Well, so, what about herbs? What about herbs?”
“Here.”
[You have completed the quest.]
[Friendship with all NPCs in Candle Castle increased by 15%.]
[Intimacy with the Candle Castle Bakery owner, Annie, increased by 15%.]
[You have acquired 30 copper.]
[You leveled up.]
'Also. The difficulty of the quest was very low. Looking at the hours it took in order to level up and hunt.'
Leeha nodded his head with a happy expression.
“Ara. But what about bread? You should also give me bread sprinkled with buwak herbs.”
“I have to make it. I'll make it right away, so please wait.”
“Oh, is there something special about that bread?”
"Yeah? Absolutely! Its aroma! Can't you smell this thick aroma?”
‘It is grass grown on the spot where the rabbit's poop fell, what thick aroma?’
However, Annie was sniffing the herb and chewing it as if it were food.
“Anyone who likes bread will probably flip over? Just smelling the scent makes you feel good. Well, what is the need to know about the taste of bread.”
"Yeah?"
"No? I didn't say anything."
Annie's expression seemed to have changed in an instant, but Leeha's effort was ignored.
“Then I'll be making it soon, so wait!”
He waited about ten minutes. and Leeha received bread as the final reward.
It's a bread that people who like bread go crazy for, although he didn't know where to use it.
“Completing the quest is also difficult. It’s the last.”
Leeha headed for the sacred grill.

Homeless in the game?
How good would it be? (Laughs) - Author-nim?
