TGMND 23

There seemed to be too little countermeasure. According to what people were saying, their job compatibility was also not particularly beneficial. Yeo-woon had the impression that if something was done poorly, the skills would be screwed up and have a negative effect on each other.

In contrast, it was said that the compatibility between Gunners like Motsuena and Yeo-woon was quite good. Considering this, Yeo-woon was worried about Earth Star. Though Yeo-woon didn’t have the intention to win this fight, he found himself unnecessarily concerned about the carefree Poseidon.

[Party] Ji9star: LOL this noob is worried about me…

Of course, I know that I am not at the level of worrying about Earth. Even if you fight one-on-one right now, you will lose. No matter how rubbish Earth’s defenses are, the level difference cannot be ignored. However, when I come in every day and see the carefree Earth Star who is disassembling the fashion items from the field and digging around to get a puzzle, I end up feeling frustrated.

[Party] neutaaaa: What are you going to do if you lose like this?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: If he loses, he’ll just Chardel1,

[Party] neutaaaa: Character shave?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: LOL Who shaves their head because they lose?

[Party] Ji9star: I might, I don’t mean shaving, I mean character deletion!

“…?”

He knew what Chardel meant. However, he couldn’t understand why they would go as far as deleting the character over such a trivial matter…

[Party] Ji9star: If I lose, I’ve decided to delete my character!!!><

Earth Star was incredibly cheerful. Yeo-woon couldn’t fathom what was going on in his head.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Earth, please give me all your items and I will keep them safe.

[Party] Ji9star: Who moves their items to another place when they’re going to delete their character? Haha I won’t do that.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: You’re not fooled haha

[Party] Ji9star: And I have no intention of losing.

[Party] Halloween Branch: Ohhh

Yeo-woon closed his eyes with a disapproving expression. No, the initial mail didn’t include the talk about character deletion. It was the same in Little Forest and in Illusion. It seemed common in every game to set character deletion as a condition when fighting. As someone who personally witnessed how a tailor he often saw in a previous game erased his character due to a moment of wrong judgment, Yeo-woon wanted to stop Earth Star right now.

[Party] Ji9star: Neu-nim Neu-nim!

[Party] Ji9star: If you’re going to adjust for PVP, is it Motsuena? Is he the one calling you?

[Party] Ji9star: Motsuena <<Is this right?

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes

[Party] Ji9star: Be careful

[Party] Ji9star: I’m not trying to meddle; it’s just because it’s a nickname I’ve heard somewhere before.

However, when he searched the bulletin board for the names of all Strawberry Jam guild members, nothing came up. They were users who didn’t rank at the top, so it seemed like people weren’t paying much attention to them.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Meddling switch ON~!

[Party] Ji9star: Motsuena used to be in a guild called Liquid Candy, and Wandu-nim was close to the guild master. The guild members get upset whenever Motsuena is mentioned lol.

[Party] Ji9star: He borrowed items and didn’t return them. Also, there was an incident in which he harassed players in the guild chat and asked for personal numbers.

[Party] neutaaaa: You did the same.

[Party] Ji9star: Not me. I never asked for numbers.

[Party] Ji9star: Don’t twist my wordsㅡㅡ

[Party] Ji9star: I’m just saying Haha Be careful; In many ways, he has a really bad reputation these days, so be careful~

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Bad reputation lol Would it be as bad as you? lol

[Party] Ji9star: Haha, the jealousy towards me is so cute >_<

[Party] neutaaaa: You look like a pervert…

[Party] Ji9star: Neu-nim, you’re jealous too, right? Haha

[Party] neutaaaa: *Shaking head*

Yeo-woon searched the homepage bulletin board with the four letters ‘Motsuena’ displayed on the left side of the screen, but the results were the same as the previous search. Besides guild war-related posts, there were only a few trade posts. Judging by the way he spoke, it didn’t seem like he was a rude player, but Yeo-woon couldn’t directly ask him since they weren’t close.

[Party] Ji9star: According to Wandu-nim, he tried to join Poseidon once, but Wandu-nim said that so he immediately kicked him out of the party… Apparently, the vice guild master was there at the time, too??

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: We didn’t reject just one or two people, you know haha

[Party] Ji9star: Well hahahaha

Come to think of it, there was a rumor about the Poseidon guild that guild interviews were quite difficult. Yeo-woon remembered hearing something similar when he first applied to the Poseidon Guild.

“Why did he keep following me back then…?”

It was absurd to hear such remarks from someone he’d never met, and even if he insisted that he wasn’t, Earth didn’t listen, which upset Yeo-woon at the time. Now he felt like Earth could answer the reason why he did that. Weren’t they a little closer now? His way of speaking was different from the beginning. Yeo-woon gathered the courage to ask Earth about the deeper situation.

[Party] neutaaaa: I have a question for you, Earth-ssi.

[Party] Ji9star: Yes?

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m really curious, but when you first met me

[Party] neutaaaa: You killed me out of nowhere… Ha

[Party] neutaaaa: Why did you do that to me back then, you fvcking b4stard??

Ah.

[Party] Ji9star: Hahahaha

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: He’s getting heated hahahahaha

[Party] Ji9star: Hahahahahahaha

[Party] Ji9star: Hahahahahahaha

As he was talking, the memories of that moment came flooding back to him so clearly that he didn’t even realize it… Yeo-woon calmed down again.

[Party] neutaaaa: You f*cking piece of s**t

[Party] Ji9star: Hahahaㅜㅜ!

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahaha

Earth Star changed the character costume he was wearing into dog ears and a tail. This son of… Yeo-woon really wanted to hit him.

[Party] Ji9star: Hahahaha Sorru sorry

[Party] Ji9star: I raised the guild defense a bit because I kept getting aggro2…

[Party] neutaaaa: What is it ㅡㅡ

[Party] Ji9star: Strange people infiltrated the guild, asked if we were using hacks, and even left without telling us.

[Party] Ji9star: They even found out personal information from the pictures posted in the guild chat and came to our social media accounts that we didn’t even tell them about, LOL.

[Party] neutaaaa: Yikes

[Party] Ji9star: If they had just hacked my Instagram, it would have been over… sob

[Party] Ji9star: That was the first time I realized that you could find out where people lived based on telephone poles.

[Party] Ji9star: I don’t know anything else, but when I saw a death threat in a picture of a neighborhood stray cat…

[Party] Ji9star: I just quietly became inactiveㅡㅡ

Yeo-woon quietly uncrossed his arms after crossing them to determine how bad the aggro was. This was because he remembered the same information was included in the apology letter that Captain Poseidon sent him.

‘Recently, there have been some players with malicious intent joining our guild, making demands to ride the bus without reason, and publishing derogatory posts about our guild and guild members. Some users have been unilaterally spreading rumors, revealing the personal information and social media accounts of guild rankers, and even making malicious reports.’

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: But it didn’t seem like there was just one person. Right. They rushed in with almost the same intention, so we stopped recruiting guild members for a while.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: There is no way to deal with this kind of aggro other than blocking them… Since there isn’t enough reason to suspend an account for what happened within the guild.

After all, these kinds of problems were normally handled by GMs, and if they asked management, they would only get a copy-paste response.

[Party] Ji9star: ㅜㅜ We’re in the middle of a guild event, and if we go with fewer people than the other guilds, we’ll be left behind.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Yep yep

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: The guild master blocked all those guys, so there was a limit to rotating existing sub-characters they created, and they kept creating new characters because of that. That’s why there’s a level restriction now.

[Party] Ji9star: ㅠㅠ Anyway, I’m sorry for killing you then! I ended up like that because my personal information was leaked out.

[Party] Ji9star: You, don’t do stuff like that, okay? Pft

[Party] neutaaaa: Yeah…

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Earth Star, are you crying?

[Party] Ji9star: ㅠㅠ I’m not crying

Yeo-woon, who only uses Messenger as his SNS, decided he would never post any pictures online that could reveal his identity. There were often strange people like that.

[Whisper] Motsuena: Neutaaaa-nim, I’ve finished eating~^^ Where are you?

So fast? Yeo-woon checked his watch, opened the party window, and hovered the mouse cursor over the X symbol.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’ve been called by Motsuena, so I’ll leave for practice now.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Bye bye

‘neutaaaa has left the party.’

[Whisper] Ji9star: Practice hard on your massaging skill!

Massage?

“…”

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Youㅗtoo^^

[Whisper] Ji9star: Hahahahaha

Although Yeo-woon had no intention of winning in this game, every time Earth Star saw his damage output, he couldn’t help feeling a bit frustrated, hearing comments like, “You’re so cute,” or “Your damage is tickling me.” Even though Yeo-woon knew he couldn’t win, he wanted to give Earth Star a beating.

Just once.
