You’re not going to take the money?

I saw Gollum again.

‘I was almost disappointed, but I’m glad.’

To be honest, I’m not sure what’s so much better than Pathfinder or Mole Man.

Maybe if you come as the main character, Gollum, the secondary character, doesn’t seem to have a special corner.

‘But I haven’t forgotten the basics.’

Saying he wouldn’t take the money was a whipping for himself.

Not wanting to be compensated for the fact that he did not pay for his meal properly.

This is something that surprisingly many players can’t do.

There are a lot of kids who only want excessive rewards compared to what they did.

These guys are very conscienceless and they can’t go up high.

In that sense, Gollum seemed to be a player who had not forgotten the basics.

Gollum, perhaps slightly hurting his pride, took the lead with clenched fists.

“First… … let’s go The fact that the spirits gather means that there is something.”

Gollum approached and began to do something.

He took out a strange powder from his bosom and sprinkled it, or he hunted nearby fish and monsters and threw the blood into the air.

I didn’t even know exactly what he was doing.

‘Is it the Arbis method?’

I examined Gollum carefully.

I’m not going to do anything like Gollum, but it’s important to know wide and shallow for smooth broadcasting.

Even if I can’t do that, at least I should know what it is and be able to explain it.

‘Ah, that’s how they attract the spirits.’

I’m not a real spirit sorcerer, so I can’t really feel it, but this place is attracting spirits.

The lowest-class spirits among the lower-class spirits without self.

In other words, it was close to gathering spirit energy.

Gollum pulled out the few remaining strands of hair and memorized something like a starter word.

“I command in my name, open the way.”

The hair fluttering in the wind is gorgeous! and flared up

At the same time, a gate appeared.

[Dungeon, Bridge of Anguish]

“found. Bridge of Agony.”

Gollum did his best.

‘This is against the rules.’

In fact, when I was active as an alt, I tried to use only the abilities of the alt.

Just activating the gate was the main character’s way, beyond the range of abilities of the alt character.

I forcibly opened the gate by using several activation material recipes that Bonka knew.

He praised himself.

‘Good work, Gollum.’

And he looked at Cha Jin-hyeok with a triumphant expression.

‘I changed the conditions so that everyone can enter these ultra-low-level dungeons. This is really hard work. How is it, Kim Chul-soo!’

But Cha Jin-hyeok asked.

“It’s not just playing around, right?”

“What do you mean?”

“I want you to do your best.”

“… … .”

“If it was Pathfinder or Mole Man, I think I would have found it already.

Gollum clenched his teeth.

Gollum, who prides himself on having sharp intuition, could easily feel Cha Jin-hyeok’s sincerity.

‘That guy is sincere again.’

Where the heck is the standard?

Wouldn’t it be great if the level 138 guide did this much?

‘not… … go?’

Level 138 was too low level by Bonka standards.

Originally, frogs don’t remember when they were tadpoles, and I can’t remember how good they were at level 138.

‘I think I did better than this?’

Looking back, it didn’t seem as fierce as it was back then.

This wasn’t the main character, it was an alt character, and a alt character was more like entertainment.

Having gained some realization, Gollum made a secret pledge.

‘Let’s see.’

had to show

How a great guide can be called a great guide.

‘I’ll get your approval.’

[Enter the dungeon, ‘Bridge of Anguish’.]

[Minimum level to enter is 30, recommended minimum level is 50.]

I decided not to express the fact that it took a long time to solve the entry restrictions.

‘yes. Little things like this are nothing to brag about. I’ll show you something even more amazing.’

In order to get proper recognition from Cha Jin-hyeok, I thought there was no need to show condescension over trivial things like this.

‘Maybe he already knows.’

Gollum looked around.

It was a very sunny field.

Seo Ji-soo made a fuss.

“Wow, can it be so refreshing inside a dungeon? Why is the sunlight so warm?”

In front of me, I could see a body of water larger than a stream and smaller than a river.

“uh? You have a rainbow bridge, right?”

There was a rainbow bridge over the creek.

About halfway through the rainbow bridge, a ghost in the form of a child was sitting on the rainbow bridge.

As if the ghost had found this side, he jumped up and said.

“Will you play with me?”

The ‘dungeon of agony’ was a low-level dungeon in the first place.

Genre: Healing.

There are no monsters to speak of, warm sunlight and endless green fields.

And a peaceful dungeon with a small river over a rainbow bridge.

The level of Cha Jin-hyeok and his party was too high, so we couldn’t find it, but it was quite a famous place for low-level users.

Seo Ji-soo said as if he had suddenly remembered.

“Uh, come to think of it, I’ve heard of a healing dungeon with a rainbow bridge.”

Gollum reacted sensitively to those words.

“Have you heard of this place?”

“I thought it was probably the least difficult dungeon in the world. The location was on the Dutch side. I heard that you can win by playing rock-paper-scissors with the child on the rainbow bridge.”

If you win, you can go over, and if you lose, you have to go down and come up again.

“Just winning at Rock Paper Scissors gives a small amount of experience, and the weather is so nice and warm that they say they come for a picnic. I sneered at him asking if there was such a dungeon in the world, but I never thought it would exist.”

Gollum unintentionally hurt his pride again.

‘I had no idea!’

Even though it was a low-level dungeon, he was still a guide.

How could he not know what the assassin across the sea knew?

Even when I was young, I was memorizing the list of dungeons on other servers.

Gollum said, not showing off his wounded pride.

“Look at rock, paper, scissors. Let’s try it.”

Gollum crossed the rainbow bridge first and approached the ghost.

A [♩♩♬] mark appeared above the ghost’s head.

“Rock Paper Scissors! Hey, I lost.”

After losing at rock-paper-scissors, raindrops fell on the ghost’s head.

Gollum went over to the other side and came back.

“Rock Paper Scissors! Heh, I lost again.”

[You won at Rock Paper Scissors, you can pass.]

[You won at Rock Paper Scissors, you can pass.]

[Three victories in a row]

You are very good at rock-paper-scissors.

For 3 hours, you will feel better and enjoy the little things.

From Gollum’s point of view, it was absurd.

Winning rock-paper-scissors gave me such an achievement.

[The dungeon clear conditions have been met!]

Far away, a white door appeared.

[A heart warming exit]

It was a gate with nothing to risk.

Gollum approached the door and examined it intently, but found no danger.

Paper Magician Mackendra visited Lucia’s bar.

“I cannot give you any information about the guest, sir.”

“Obviously lost contact somewhere here.”

“The guest in room 302 can only inform you that you moved out of the room yesterday.”

“I’ll give you 20 million diamonds as an information fee.”

“Sorry, sir.”

McKendra frowned.

Usually, the dreamers who run bars and inns are sensitive to money.

If you pay an information fee, they will give you all kinds of information.

20 million diamonds isn’t that small.

‘It seems like he really doesn’t know anything.’

It seemed difficult to get any information from Lucia.

Lucia started her own investigation.

It wasn’t long before she was able to find Kane’s trail.

‘Kane… … There is a high probability that he died here.’

This was also a very important place for Mackendra.

The most likely place where ‘Picasso’s brush’ is hidden.

So, it was a place that I was particularly concerned about, and I sent my most cherished henchman here.

‘wait.’

Room 302?

McKendra found Lucia again.

Paper soldiers surrounded Lucia and aimed at them with paper spears.

“this… … What are you doing, Mackendra?”

“Room 302, did you check out?”

“I haven’t done it yet.”

“But why are you doing the interior work again?”

“… … .”

“Do you think the information fee I was giving you wasn’t enough?”

Lucia took out a leather pouch containing 50 million diamonds from her bosom and threw it at Lucia’s face.

puck!

The leather bag hit Lucia’s face, and golden coins fell and rolled on the floor.

“I will buy information related to Room 302. If the information is correct, I will give you another 50 million diamonds.”

“… … .”

“Instead, get down on your knees and pick up the coins that have fallen into your mouth.”

“Yes, guest.”

Lucia knelt down and picked up coins that had fallen into her mouth.

By the time I put the last coin in my leather pouch.

said McKendra.

“You were too greedy about the dirty dreamy subject.”

The paper soldier’s spear pierced Lucia’s back.

A ghastly spear blade pierced his back and pierced his abdomen.

hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked!

The spears of the paper soldiers surrounding Lucia pierced her body from various directions, and sticky blood flowed from her body.

McKendra gently stepped on Lucia’s face with her foot.

“I said I would give it, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t take it away.”

Lucia’s eyes had already lost their focus.

With the last of her strength, she raised her hand toward her leather pouch.

“not… … OK.”

“Okay.”

Another paper soldier’s spear pierced Lucia’s neck.

“Even in the midst of this, being greedy for money is like an obscene species.”

I read the record from the paper calendar that was already hanging on the wall of Room 302.

‘Gollum. And three unknown players. They figured something out.’

I don’t know who the three players are, but Gollum knows exactly.

‘I guess I can track down Gollum.’

As Mackendra snapped her fingers, the paper soldiers poured oil on Lucia’s body and set it on fire.

Lucia’s inn and tavern were reduced to ashes and disappeared, and Mackendra released paper soldiers to track Gollum’s whereabouts.

Now this is an ego fight.

A fight between being recognized as a real guide or not.

‘no!’

It simply wasn’t.

‘It’s a rivalry to see if I’m more competent than you or not!’

Gollum had no choice but to acknowledge Cha Jin-hyeok’s sharp eyes.

This started with a word from Cha Jin-hyeok.

“You can’t see it, but ghosts are floating around the river. It’s similar to the spirit’s energy, so it’s not very noticeable. It’s a similar structure to before the gate was activated. Well, of course you know, right?”

“No, of course I knew.”

Cha Jin-hyeok saw what Gollum did not see.

There, Gollum first felt a sense of crisis.

“And exactly every two minutes and eighteen seconds the child on the rainbow bridge changes. Does the soul change?”

Feeling a second sense of danger, Gollum hurriedly continued.

“no. The shell also changes. If you look closely, the mole on your right wrist is gone. The guy who appeared next held out his left arm while playing rock-paper-scissors. Earlier, he held out his right arm. The stripes on the guy that appeared this time are subtly different.”

“Five.”

Cha Jin-hyeok also admired Gollum’s keen eye.

The difference between the level of finding the difference is very good.

‘As expected, it’s the great guide’s sub character.’

There was a strange sense of triumph.

‘Why do I want to win against him? Are we in completely different fields?’

I’d never felt anything like this for Pathfinder or Mole Man.

Strangely, however, he wanted to win against Gollum.

It was a strange feeling that I wanted to claim, ‘Although I am a streamer, I am better at guiding than you!’

And soon, Cha Jin-hyeok knew the reason.

‘Do you think you can win?’

That’s why the competitive spirit seemed to grow rapidly.

I wanted to overcome something like this.

Because this is a healing dungeon.

In Cha Jin-hyeok’s eyes, a madness that only Cha Jin-hyeok didn’t know began to shimmer.

“This is competition.”
