Chapter 53
Do-hyun, who was looking at the mirror, stroked his chin and smiled.
“It looks nice.”
It wasn’t just something I said.
A vaguely red top and blue pants. And the previous look, with black and green mixed in here and there, was definitely the fashion of a hiker or beginner.
Whereas now?
“It’s two-tone, but this one has a better feel. “Isn’t that right?”
-what…… I don’t think it’s bad, master.
I reluctantly nodded, but considering Jihad, it wasn’t that bad.
The quality of the leather itself is the same, and the overall red color with blue stains as if painted makes it look even more threatening.
Does it feel like a primitive tribe deliberately painted it to look fierce?
It has a sleek look that goes well with the training sword held instead of the great sword.
‘Let’s sell the rest.’
In addition to these, miscellaneous items also appeared, and there were rewards for killing warriors, but they were all just items to keep in the inventory or put on the auction house.
Do-hyun actually put it on the auction house.
[The auction has been registered with default settings.]
[The minimum auction price is set according to the average market price.]
[The auction item has been registered.]
…… .
[Auction ends in 12 hours.]
The registered item was a warrior set that captured the warriors.
‘I don’t need it the most.’
To some, it was a Raven semi-graduation item, but to Do-hyun now, it was more unnecessary equipment than miscellaneous items.
Because the parts overlapped exactly with the Daejeon Warrior set.
I kept the weapons and other equipment I had previously acquired in case I needed to use them later, but the warrior set was not one of them, so I coolly decided to sell it at the auction house.
‘It was about 2 to 3 million won per set, right?’
It’s a shame that it’s not very expensive because it’s the top and bottom and belt parts, but since there were six sets of items that Do-hyun uploaded, this was more than enough.
Doesn’t that mean he earns about 15 million won?
‘This is the first money I make in God Ose.’
Not 1.5 million won, but 15 million won.
In Demlok, he had to achieve the top ranking to earn the money he earned, but now he was only earning it in the first city on the main continent.
It felt strange, but the feeling that tickled my chest was definitely a feeling of pride.
Do-hyun, who was filled with pride, regret, anticipation, and an unknown feeling, let out a deep breath.
‘Let’s just leave it like this.’
Ranking #1? All you have to do is film it again.
I was very happy that I could now make money from games again. I even feel a sense of elation.
“Hehe…… .”
Feeling his heart getting hot, Do-hyun rubbed his hands and tried to shake off the feeling.
It is not too late to feel this feeling even when money comes in.
Because then it will be real.
‘This comes first now.’
When is the happiest moment when you get a skill or equipment item?
Most users will answer that question the same way.
This is the time when you are filled with anticipation and excitement right before going to test performance.
Even when purchasing a car, you wait for the delivery period, and isn’t the happiest day when you get to drive the car you received for the first time?
This was also the same principle.
“let’s go.”
-Where are you going this time, master? Aren’t you too busy running around?
“I need to stay busy. “Now is not the time to play.”
Therefore, Do-hyun turned his steps without any hesitation.
“I just found a suitable partner.”
-Is there a suitable partner for someone who has even fought the Great Battle? … ah?
Jihad, who was following and expressing doubts, opened his mouth as if he realized something.
Now that I think about it, I’ve never seen it in person, but I think I’ve heard it through rumors. He said that he disappeared and a new ruler appeared in the forest.
Do-hyun turned his head and cast his gaze into the sky.
To be exact, in the quest window floating in the air.
[To go to the next city, you must pass the trials of the continent.]
[Field Boss Hunting]
-Rank: 1st trial
-Description: Those who wish to graduate from Raven, the first city on the main continent, must pass the trials of the continent.
Achievement points are updated in proportion to the performance of hunting field bosses to determine the reward rank, and it can be cleared only by defeating Raven’s official ruler, ‘Spider Queen Eliza’.
-Clear conditions: Reach level 24, defeat Spider Queen Eliza (0 / 1) -Reward upon clearing: Differential payment by rank (D~S ranks).
-Time limit: none.
Spider Queen Eliza, the field boss of the western forest and the key boss of the graduation quest.
It was finally time to catch him.
* * *
Spider Queen Eliza.
At first glance, it feels like a named boss, but in fact, it isn’t.
Unlike named bosses whose data disappears forever once they die, Eliza steadily respawns and appears in the forest.
But why was it called Eliza?
-Eliza, Eliza, Eliza, Eliza, Eliza…… .
“Oh, I really don’t want to hear that, I’m dying.”
“Put a fireball in that spider’s mouth to shut it up!”
“She has a poisonous tumor and even screams as Eliza. “You’re a disgusting bastard.”
“Read, read!”
This was because he only uttered the word Eliza with all his might.
A monster so enormous that giant spiders look cute can speak human language?
And that while just saying the word ‘Eliza’?
It was so goosebumps-inducing that it made skin crawl on my arms, and most users said it was harder to endure it than to catch it.
However, Godose is a game enjoyed by 1 billion people.
There were people who did not just dismiss this as a creepy thing, but thought about the root cause.
“Why on earth are you calling me Eliza?”
“Is there an NPC named Eliza? Isn’t there at least a hidden piece? “Why is there such a thing as a hidden quest?”
“Is there a possibility?”
Does the boss, who is not even named, need to repeat the word ‘Eliza’?
It was a rare case even in the wide continent of Godose, and at least for users taking the general route, it was a sight that could not be seen anywhere other than Raven.
There is definitely something hidden. Astute users came to that conclusion.
but…… .
“It’s hidden.”
“Miss, I wasted my money for no reason. “How much is the cost of the explorer invested?”
“Do you mean to say that I searched everything from Raven to Pratel and found nothing?”
“Hey, I heard that the Adventure King surveyed the entire main continent and gave up because he couldn’t find anything. “It seems like they just ruled that it doesn’t exist.”
“If the Adventure King is like that…… “It’s over.”
The hidden piece about Eliza could never be found.
“uh? “Have you seen Eliza?”
“? “Aggro, no no.”
“It’s real. In the fourth city, there is a general store called Eliza…… .”
“Are you pretty?”
“Oh, she’s pretty. “Innocence itself.”
I went to that general store, feeling like I was grasping at straws, but she seemed to know nothing about the Spider Queen.
So the users came to a conclusion.
Godose, who likes to create unique bosses, added such a setting to harass users in a new way.
It couldn’t have been a shitty setting, but what can you do? If I want to graduate from Raven, I have to catch that monster.
Still, there was one good thing.
“But I made it worth catching.”
“It’s a good thing they didn’t add some strange characteristics like they did with the variant Goblin Warrior.”
“If we had included something like that here, all the users would have quit. Breaking the variant characteristics while also hearing noise pollution? Ugh, creepy.”
“I admit that.”
Compared to the bosses that have appeared so far, it has relatively calm characteristics.
And the regen speed is fast.
Since it is a graduation quest, all users are looking for it, so regeneration is done quickly for convenience.
“No, you said Regen will happen quickly?”
Of course, it’s faster than other pilbos, but it doesn’t mean it regenerates every few minutes.
It doesn’t even always respawn in the same location.
Approximately once an hour, it respawns in one of the four spider webs located in the north, south, east and west directions, and the person who found it first was the owner.
This does not mean that they will kindly wait in line.
“The spider’s nest is so annoying, real.”
“No, isn’t it Oba that spider webs will form after receiving one party? “What kind of writing is this?”
“It’s okay. “The spider web loses its effectiveness after 90 minutes.”
“Isn’t it strange if I can’t catch it within 1 hour and 30 minutes? “I’m not actually telling you to wait.”
The moment it discovers its prey, Spider Queen Eliza spins a web and blocks the entrance.
From the boss’s point of view, he doesn’t want to lose his prey, so he doesn’t allow them to leave, but because the entrances are connected, they can’t come in from the outside.
You can catch the spider by luring it out of the web before it spreads, but…… .
“Why?”
“Why bother buying it when you know how to catch it safely?”
“Anti-steel shit!”
Normally, that would be the case, but Raven’s field boss was a little different.
This was because the graduation quest reward varied depending on the field boss’s hunting performance.
Even if you give up some of the graduation quest rewards, there is no reason to buy them and increase the risk of being stolen unless several parties are trying to catch them together.
Therefore, the person who discovered it first was Imja, and that was the reason why Do-hyun was wandering in the forest.
“I’m asking just in case. Don’t you know the position of the assistant?”
-no. I’ve been buried for 150 years, master. He is the ruler of my next generation, so…… .
“They once said there was nothing in the forest that they didn’t know.”
– Hmm.
Jihad seems embarrassed and avoids his gaze.
Do-hyun shook his head at Jihad’s oblivious appearance, but in reality, Jihad was not to be blamed.
Because he has fully fulfilled his role so far.
Didn’t they give me a set of hero-level equipment and two intermediate skill draw tickets?
‘Yes, it was too much to hope for this.’
This time, it was time to do it with Do-hyun’s strength.
[Time remaining until field boss regen 00:04:49]
[The field boss will respawn after a while.]
‘Approximately 5 minutes.’
The system should have appeared to all users in the western forest.
Maybe that’s why I saw a lot of people gathering around the forest.
Among them, there were especially many people in the area where Do-hyun was, and this was because he had to stand in the center to see all the spider webs in the four directions, north, south, east, west and west.
“Quickly, Philbo, leave.”
“I’m fast on my feet, so I’ll go for the aggro first.”
“You didn’t forget to spread personnel here and there, right? “We must take the lead no matter what.”
From users who want to dominate quickly and monopolize,
“Hey, our goal is to graduate anyway, so would you like to just work together?”
“Honestly, we aren’t speedsters and if we monopolize it, we’ll be at C rank at most. Wouldn’t it be better to save time?”
There are even users who choose to join forces with multiple parties for the purpose of graduation.
It was truly diversely distributed.
In the case of the former, they seemed confident that they would catch anything that looked flashy at first glance, and in the case of the latter, most of them were wearing warrior sets obtained from warriors or not even wearing them.
Whatever it is, it will be fierce competition.
The moment the boss respawns, he will rush out so quickly that the current situation of waiting relatively quietly will be put to shame.
“If we are late and they discover it first, we will just fire our skills from a distance.”
“If you somehow manage to pull them out of the spider’s web, there’s nothing they can do about it. “Is there any other way to just catch it together?”
“Then it won’t be filmed?”
“We attacked first, so what does it matter? “According to the standards of going first, we started the try first?”
In fact, there were many people who tried to obtain it even by using somewhat expedient methods.
This is all that is said around Do-hyun, and the users out there are probably no different.
‘It was like this during Demlock as well.’
At that time, there were many people who could not stand it and started arguing and fighting.
Because it was an extreme game with a lot of combat enthusiasts.
I had no intention of doing anything moderate as Do-hyun achieved the top ranking in the midst of all the chaos.
The moment I saw the boss, I planned to use the rear grab faster than anyone else to take the lead.
I was confident in my reflexes.
Of course, compared to the people standing in front of the cobweb entrance, there was a higher chance of being late…… Do-hyun had no choice.
‘I’m not confident about my luck at drawing, so I guess there’s nothing I can do.’
Do-hyun has never guessed correctly in the regen location guessing game, which is called fortune-telling.
It’s foolish to expect luck to be on your side this time.
It would be more likely to try to catch up.
‘It would be great if you could look at this with the eyes of truth.’
It was when I was thinking such thoughts that broke my conscience.
“Whoa…… .”
“nervous.”
The voice that could be heard at first glance gradually quieted down.
[Time remaining until field boss regen 00:01:01]
Everyone confirmed that regen time was coming soon.
Just before a race, when there is no sound other than breathing, like the silence before the signal gun sounds.
Tiring-.
A cheerful notification sounded, like a whistle, and a message came to mind.
[Conditions are met.]
[Attribute ‘Slayer’ is activated.]
[It is confirmed that the boss is nearby.]
[The hiding location of the field boss ‘Spider Queen Eliza’ is revealed.]
‘huh?’
A message that only Do-hyun can see.
