TGMND 20

Yeo-woon belatedly checked the photos sent by Earth Star. The photo was a capture of a portion of the in-game screen, and the mail that had arrived from Strawberry was included in the screen.

Title: Schedule Adjustment

We discussed and scheduled a PVP match with our guild members.

We selected the two players with the clearest suspicion of using hacks on your side, lol.

*Date*

Pick a day from next weekend and let us know.

*Victory decision*

2:2 PVP (8 minutes) / Decision made in three rounds.

>If you win two out of three rounds, you win. In case of a tie due to a time-over, a rematch will be played.

*Participants*

[Poseidon] Guild: <Ji9star> / <CatMeowMeowMeow>

[Strawberry Jam] Guild: <Motsuena> / <neutaaaa>

On that day, their guild member <Motsuena> will be live streaming the match in real-time.

If you don’t want to be exposed for using hacks on the day of the game and want to be punished, just quietly end the program and compete fairly.^^

Everything else was good. However, when Yeo-woon saw that his name was included in the list of participants, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes a couple of times. Naturally, the written words remained unchanged.

“Wait, why me…?”

Yeo-woon, who naturally thought he was being left out of that fight, closed his eyes in confusion.

「Earth: I guess you were the only person on the same level as CatMeowMeowMeow haha.」

「Earth: CatMeowMeow hasn’t done his 4th advancement quest yet, and everyone knows that two level 200 players vs. me and a low-level CatMeowMeowMeow is an unfair set up for CatMeowMeow. LOL.」

It was unexpected that there wasn’t a single member with a level higher than 200 in the guild he joined on a whim. It was puzzling why Strawberry Jam specifically chose him for a guild invitation. Despite the unexpected invitation, Strawberry Jam’s guild seemed to be well-prepared, and even CatMeowMeowMeow, a student who could only log in at night, wasn’t leveling up particularly quickly.

“I see…”

If that was the case, Yeo-woon could understand it a bit. It would have been nice if they had informed him of that fact in advance. He had never participated in an official PVP battle in Illusion, so he felt like he would need to practice until next week.

「Earth: Right, if I win in PVP (which is obvious), I’m planning to demand something from Strawberry Jam」

「Earth: In a way, because of you, we got into this mess, so can I do as I please?」

「? Yes」

Earth Star even captured the chat and sent it to him. Eart Star said he was putting it in the gallery so Yeo-woon wouldn’t change his mind later, but he couldn’t figure out why he was saying that to him in the first place.

「Earth: Today, if we finish up to the 3rd advancement quest, you and CatMeowMeowMeow should be roughly at the same level by the end of this week. Then, we can start doing couple dungeons and scenarios….」

Living impulsively without much planning, Earth Star was surprisingly strategic when it came to planning in the game. Yeo-woon, who had been following Earth Star, completing quests without much thought, had been leveling up faster than ever.

「Earth: When will you come in?」

「Ah, today… .」

It’s hard to log in early today. Yeo-woon decided to look at properties for sale to find a new place to move. So, he was planning to go home late at night and check attendance briefly, but since Eartstar asked him like this, he felt like he should go home early.

「I have some business to do outside, so I’ll log in later in the evening.」

「Earth: What time?」

Yeo-woon drew up a schedule as tight as possible in his head, plotted the route, and wrote down a time that seemed roughly possible.

「8 o’clock? Around that time?」

「Earth: Hmm… .」

Earth Star gave a vague answer and went offline. He must have gone back to playing games or doing his own thing. There were no more messages about meeting up or any other business.

Seon-young: Hey Yeo-woon, I’m a bit stuck in traffic, so I’ll be a bit late.

Seon-young: Just wait 30 minutes

: K

Seon-young: ;;I offered to give you a ride, but you are rude…What’s up with your response? Can’t you write properly without using initial consonant?

: K/K~!

Seon-young: Write it properly with gratitude.

: %~!♥

Seon-young: Crazy jerk…

Anyone who sees that will think he gave him a free ride. But Yeo-woon has already decided to take him to lunch and dinner today. Yeo-woon snorted and washed his hands in the sink. As he sat in front of the shoe cabinet and read through the previous mail, a small question arose.

By the way, even if he assumes that CatMeowMeowMeow is a student, can’t log in during the morning. Didn’t Earth Star also a college student? Why doesn’t he attend school at all during the week? However, shortly after, a phone call instructing him to come down made that thought vanish into thin air.

Title: Awesome, someone is having fun with the hack users of that guild

Posted by On-time Monkey/Nightspear

If you search ‘Strawberry Jam’ on the community board, the post written by the guild master who started this mess comes up!

It seems like they’re not in the top-ranking guilds, but they have a lot of courage, damn lol. They openly call them hackers.

(15 comments have been posted.)

-I heard that Strawberry Jam is broadcasting the battle in real time for everyone to watch. ^That guild^ might lose half of its members because they’re getting exposed lol.

⤷I’ve already made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. in advance.

⤷LOL It would have been better if they had eaten an exp buff earlier Hahaha They should have done that a long time ago.

-Motsuena and Earth Star go back and forth in in50, so I know their names, but who are the other two? Are they just filling the roster?

⤷CatMeowMeowMeow<<This one is Wolfist, using a damage hack. Neutaaaa << I don’t know about this one…? Lately, they’ve been hanging around Poseidon, so I thought they might join Poseidon soon, but today I see them in the opposing guild??? Weird.

-Hey, but the job compatibility is no joke lol. If it’s a Gunner + Shadow Warrior combination, both close-range and long-range are covered, making it game over. But on the Poseidon side, it’s a Trash Job (….) and Night Spear (….). Night Spear is a job that infiltrates the enemy’s camp and hits, but it’s absolutely hopeless in a close + long-range party, you know? If neither has a healer, the difference becomes even more significant. Since the Gunner side sucks up a certain amount of HP for damage received, they are almost impossible lol

⤷Don’t call Wolfist a Trash Job ㅜㅜ Because after the 4th job advancement, it becomes more of a Valkyrie (meaning trash) haha.

⤷ Moreover, Earth Star has the worst speed stats, so if he gets hit with a short-range explosive attack just once, his back will be broken.

Title: (Hot Post Now!) As I look closely, I’m starting to get confused about the purpose of this fight

Subject: Strawberry Jam vs. Poseidon PvP

[Hot post now!] [Come see the downfall of hackers]

This is a derivative article!! Please read the article above first

First of all, I also believe that hackers should definitely be banned and hit with an experience point penalty^ ^. Hacking is really bad, and it ruins the game balance, turning it into a shitty game shortcut. It feels truly unfair! But I’m still in the newbie stage, so even if they explain what a hack is, I don’t really understand it well lol.

(Duel_Mail_.jpg)

Anyway, at first, I thought it was just a common development where a fight broke out while playing the game. It’s not a guild group battle, and if it’s a 2v2 PvP, it won’t have the exciting taste of a group battle, and it would just be boring hahaha.

Isn’t it the same for everyone else? The bulletin board is so heated because of the streaming of videos by Strawberry Jam hahaha

Honestly, even the GMs are curious, right? If GMs are reading this, please buff the Moon Fairy in the next update, you bastards.

Anyway

If you look at the comments here, there are comments from Earth Star (hacker) and Captain Poseidon (that guild master)? It’s around page 3 or so, just check it out^ ^

(Comment_Capture_Preserved.jpg)

Hahaha s*ck it haha ㅠㅜ

They decided that if Earth Star lost, they could beat him up. I hope he loses because it’s so fun to watch others beaten… But if Earth Star wins, they want ‘our guy’ back.

Huh? Who is our guy? I kept refreshing because I was curious about what they were saying, but the comments below explained it kekekekekeke

Conclusion: neutaaaa <<Our guy

Uhmm… Hahaha This guy is one of the 2 people going for the PvP in Strawberry Jam. You know the weird English nickname after Motsuena lol

(Report_Screenshot_011.jpg)

I heard that Poseidon walked around with him for a month and helped him level up, so maybe that’s why if you go to the top post and look at the comments, you’ll see that the captured pictures of them walking around are varied by map. But wasn’t this guild famous for hating newbies? so why are they helping level up? Are these guild members alts or acquaintances? I don’t know, so I’ll skip it for now.

(Report_Screenshot_005.jpg)

This is it. The reason I wrote this post is revealed here.

About a week ago, Earth Star bet his life against ‘our guy’ in the guild zone and got killed kekekeke. No, after seeing this… what is this… I was curious.

(Report_Screenshot_015.jpg)

But;;;; This is even funnierㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ Damn, now Earth Star and neutaaaa? are apparently a couple lol. They break up and suddenly become a couple in less than a month, isn’t that understandable? (This confession screenshot was personally provided by Halloween Eggplant from the Poseidon guild! Thank you for the rare meme Halloween Eggplant^^) Strawberry Jam Guild’s purpose: Kill the hackers, eat the soul!

Poseidon Guild Purpose: Let’s bring ‘our guy’ back!

LOL

LOL

ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ LOL

I don’t know how ‘our guy’ got taken away. Just… from the perspective of a spectator, it’s just really funny; I don’t even know if they get along or not, but it’s just amusing to see couples from different guilds getting into a fight like this hahahaha

To be honest, it would be nice if Earth Star lost and beaten up, that would be great, but if he’s a hacker, the GMs will probably notice and do something about it, like banning him or something hahaha I can’t wait for next weekend to watch the broadcast~~

(315 comments have been posted.)

-Hahaha This perspective is quite fresh. I recommend it.

-Isn’t Portseidon just a shitty guild? When did it get this big??

⤷They’ve been using hacks and avoiding detection for a while.

⤷Then shouldn’t the guild be disbanded?

⤷Haha GM is famous for not doing his job properly.

-I was online when the two of them were fighting, so I was wondering what was going on, and it was this hahaha. Earth Star was picking a fight first, so was he upset because his lover was taken by another guild?

⤷But why do you kill your lover when you two are dating??

⤷ㄴIsn’t that SM play?

⤷ㄴㄴIsn’t it thrilling when the experience points drop?

– Guys, where do you get the hack information from?? If I use that, will it make me stronger?? ((Puffpumpbuck))

⤷Haha hacks continue to exist because of people like this.

⤷Just search around.

⤷ Looking at the nickname, seems like a 12-year-old… Stop it

⤷Hey… saying “just search around” is too much when someone asks to see…. Have you never been 12 once in your life?

⤷ㄴHahaha Yes, I have never been 12ㅠㅠ

⤷ㄴStop talking… Too cute

-When is the broadcast?

⤷Can’t you read haha

⤷It’s the weekend next week, idiot.

⤷ㄴThank you, you f*ckrs.

-This is somewhat unrelated to the main article, but isn’t that the Sacred Water map?ㅜㅜ Unless they are characters like the Moon Fairy who can float in the air, they can’t stay on clouds… How did Earth Star manage to do that?

⤷??? Oh, really?

⤷Maybe it’s a composition?

⤷Wait, I’ll check it out.

⤷Oh wow, I saw this comment and now I went and stepped on it, and there was a hidden step haha. It must be a bug.

⤷ People who come from the Sacred Water after reading the forum are everywhere. You guys, go away^^; I’ll check it out too.

-The one starting with N seems to be a newbie, but… why is that character so weird? Does he have a hack for the appearance? I want to gift him an eye plastic surgery voucher. It’s painful to see his basic eyes~ㅜㅜ

⤷Do you think there’s a character hack?

⤷Isn’t Earth Star deliberately dressed like that and going around to make itself stand out?

⤷ㄴEvils *shaking*

-The newbie seems to be Little Forest refugees hahahaha All the ones who came from Little Forest are wearing that damn ugly cape hahaha It seems like that item was a symbol of wealth in Little Forest keke

⤷ Hahahahaha

⤷I also played Little Forest, but I don’t know what it is lol.

⤷ Hahaha I understand.
