‘neutaaaa has logged into the game.’

[Friend]Halloween Eggplant: Hahaha

[Friend] ParkRoach: Haha

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Hello!

[Friend]neutaaaa: Hello^ㅇ^!!

Whether these people could be considered game friends or not, Yeowoon now has people who greeted him when he logged into the game. Thanks to this strange relationship, he found himself liking the game even more.

[Couple] Ji9star: Greeting everyone but me again -_-

[Couple] Ji9star: Hi

[Couple] Ji9star: Hi?

[Couple] Ji9star: Seriously…

[Couple] Ji9star: The ♡ ‘This Year’s Pathetic Guy’ Award goes to me ♡

Yeowoon ignored his words and opened the status window. He had completed his second advancement quest at level 124 and had already reached level 150 in the past few days. In fact, with or without the help of the global server, he would have leveled up quickly.

Being a max-level ranker, Earth Star didn’t provide much help. Yeo-woon had wondered how he managed to be in the top 50 in the server’s PVP rankings, but he wasn’t overly curious to ask about it. Frankly, Yeo-woon had no interest in the global server.

‘Ji9star invited you to a party. Do you want to accept it?’

Before he continued leveling up, Yeo-woon was looking for strategy guides to prepare for the gear that matched his current level. It was during this time that the party invitation window appeared. The bored Earth Star had come to pick a fight again.

“Why again? You told me to call you when it’s the third advancement quest.”

Yeo-woon sighed. He remembered that he got tired of helping him with the long second advancement quest a few days ago, and Earth Star told him to call him back when the third advancement quest came up, and then left to do his own thing. He clicked the “Yes” button to accept the party invitation, and the current party members appeared in the upper left corner of the screen.

[Party] ParkRoach: You’re here?

[Party] CatMeowMeow: Hi, New-nim

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes, hello

For some reason, Earth Star wasn’t the only one at the party today. Although they weren’t friends in the traditional sense, members of the Poseidon Guild, who were listed in Yeo-woon’s friend list, had joined the same party. The party members were four people, including Earth Star, a level 250 Night Spear, ParkRoach, a level 235 Healer, CatMeowMeow, a level 180 Wizard, and Yeo-woon.

In fact, the only level max level in the party was Earthstar, and CatMeowMeow was a Wizard, the 3rd job advancement in the Explorer class. Even looking at the party members, Yeo-woon couldn’t figure out what kind of composition they were going for.

[Party] Ji9star: Baby, you here?

[Party] Ji9star: Yuck;; even calling you that makes me want to puke, lol.

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅗ

[Party] Ji9star: Hehe, you finally greeted me.

He needed to maintain a certain level of indifference because he would escalate more if he saw an unfavorable reaction. However, this was the first time he had been called by such a cringeworthy title, and he found himself responding unintentionally.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Why are you using emojis while chatting, Earth-nim? It’s not like there’s anyone else besides me seeing it, ㅠㅠ

[Party] Ji9star: It’s my love!

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Don’t kiss NPCs. It’s gross…

[Party] Ji9star: Shush!

Yeo-woon agreed with the comment that it was gross. Even when Earth Star was going around the hunting map doing Yeo-woon’s second advancement quest, he used strange emoticons and acted cute in between using his skills. While jumping on platforms in a dungeon, he had been typing long messages while enjoying his leisurely hunting.

“It wasn’t just me.”

However, Yeo-woon couldn’t help but wonder how there could be someone so specialized in RPG games. In fact, he was confident that even if Earth Star confessed, “I’m actually an NPC,” he wouldn’t be surprised. He must be a living person, right? Yeo-woon couldn’t help but be a bit curious about who exactly Earth Star was and what he did in real life.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: New-nim, please come to the Isis Altar in Channel 3!

[Party] neutaaaa: Hold on, I’m just updating my items in the Auction House.

[Party] Ji9star: When will you come?

[Party] Ji9star: When will you

[Party] Ji9star: I’m ready

[Party] neutaaaa: Wait… Please wait patiently

[Party] Ji9star: ㅜㅜ

[Party] Ji9star: When will you come?

But why suddenly? Even though he didn’t particularly enjoy being close to Poseidon guild members, he couldn’t help but wonder why Earth Star had formed a party. Following CatMeowMeowMeow’s suggestion, they switched from Channel 1 to Channel 3 and used a warp capsule to reach the Isis Altar. ParkRoach was waiting for him in front of the stone pagoda.

As a healer, ParkRoach jumped in place and cast a buff as soon as he saw Yeo-woon. When the character closed his eyes and stretched his arms above his head and uttered the skill name, a buff that increased defense was applied to those within the range.

[Party] ParkRoach: Aren’t there a lot of people in Channel 1? You might lag.

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah yes… Because of the trade ㅜㅜ

[Party] ParkRoach: Hahahahaha

[Party] ParkRoach: Follow me

“I know where the palace is…”

This means there was no need to come out to meet them like this. Yeo-woon followed behind ParkRoach, who was moving around with a cloud of white light fluttering around. As they entered the palace portal and moved inside, CatMeowMeowMeow was sitting on the throne, and Earth Star interacting with the king NPC. CatMeowMeowMeow stood up from his seat as soon as he realized that Yeo-woon and ParkRoach had arrived.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Shall we go?

[Party] Ji9star: Give me the buff!

[Party] ParkRoach: Didn’t you get it there?

[Party] Ji9star: Do you not want money >_<

[Party] ParkRoach: Ah… dear customer^^ The buff is given at the entrance of the instance due to cost issues~

Yeo-woon had no idea what was happening after suddenly inviting people to a party. Where are they going? Their level ranges didn’t match, so it was unlikely they were doing dungeons together.

[Party] neutaaaa: Where are we going…?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Didn’t Earth Star tell you?

[Party] Ji9star: ㅠㅅㅜ

[Party] Ji9star: Whenever I try to talk to that person he always ignores me, so I can’t speak to him ㅠ

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Ah…

[Party] Ji9star: I think he’s ♡ trembling when he looks at me ♡ He can’t say anything haha

[Party] neutaaaa: You have to start a conversation, lol.

You shouldn’t feed people like that to begin with.

[Party] ParkRoach: It’s obvious even without looking at it, Earth Star probably just called you and spammed you without saying anything, lol.

[Party] Ji9star: No!

[Party] ParkRoach: Yes

[Party] Ji9star: No No

[Party] ParkRoach: You have to let the other person speak

Yeo-woon immediately sympathized with ParkRoach. It seems that everyone who deals with the Earth Star must be half-resigned and at ease like that.

[Party] ParkRoach: I heard you are going to the ant cave today?

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah yes

[Party] ParkRoach: It’s the map that Earth Star hates the most because it’s so cramped there haha.

[Party] Ji9star: That’s right. The height is so low that it makes it impossible to jump, and it’s a map with no social evilsㅇㅅㅇ; I really think that map should disappear!

[Party] ParkRoach: That’s why we came to help haha. Earth star said we need to help neutaaaa level up quickly…

[Party] neutaaaa: Me?

[Party] neutaaaa: Why should you level me up?

[Party] ParkRoach: Well, they might want to eat you or something…

[Party] neutaaaa: ;;

…So, he’s going to level him up? Isn’t this a bit different from what he initially said? At first, he was telling him not to get close to the Poseidon Guild members, and now he’s inviting them to a party to help him?

[Party] Ji9star: Oh, for your information

[Party] Ji9star: This is an exception because I’m here for my benefit, not just to help you

[Party] Ji9star: don’t get any wrong ideas, lol.

[Party] neutaaaa: ??

[Party] Ji9star: You

[Party] Ji9star: Did you see see the Springfield Event Dungeon that just opened?

[Party] neutaaaa: ???

[Party] Ji9star: A new couple event just started this morning! I’ll send you the link.

[Party] Ji9star: Oh, wait, we don’t have a chat room…

[Party] Ji9star: This… How do I send this?
