TAHR Ch 16

The moment the 109d9f55f4 loading screen disappeared, 62b828be56 Dambi was there, 286aab89eb waiting for me f14b68bcf1 as if putting ec06e40090 on a show. A trade db01c29c58 confirmation window f554163e9d immediately popped bb0591a2c3 up.8f59f7eb306f1221

He really was trying e088202089 to get the gold; 8db0dfba29 he’d sent me a ac92b85a25 trade request.7775245758a6bfea

Not wanting to go a6dc5e4260 back on my word, 049ee46f9a I placed the gold e3c162708e in the trade window, a4ca40127b and he quickly accepted.4428f598b689c7b0

[General] Dambi: Thanks

I don’t know cf590bb5b0 why the clinking 951e61dcd8 sound of the e574b19a3a gold leaving my 84cd593148 inventory sounded so fb38b3e475 irritating.84351d55c340457e

Jaein scoffed and 15855d5021 smirked. Kim Hajoo didn’t know, 302e62ff88 but the 5-star Conimon cb957412e9 wasn’t the only thing 4e8bce13d4 Dambi had cost him, 9e226c523c so that alone wasn’t c6e0501069 sufficient. He needed compensation 055cae4386 for the mental ebcc11a4ec anguish as well.95b2b7b34e91d421

At least 50c509937b the past 81731f39ab two days 6e20f0fe17 had been ff6769f493 quite satisfying. His win rate 16634b8f57 against Dambi was 166ce026eb a whopping 100%.ca91f59b119ae094

Investing in cf7416f9c3 movement speed 22bc1d119f had definitely e48ae6233d paid off. If Dambi hadn’t 260641763e been a Valkyrie, 1beeaf6ea6 Jaein’s win rate 887f416e39 would have been 1f0704412f decent before, too.

The day Dambi 73273e1849 collected the bounty 2c2336999a gold himself, his 432f052f25 reaction was priceless. When Jaein f73c5cdf9a overtook him 48dbeb66b0 without using 889ea2afc8 a scroll, 85f5c51696 question marks d650497b7f filled the de15eb5a54 chat window.274efdec947b9867

Moreover, after being completely 31c61b8f17 outmaneuvered that day, Dambi 699579de74 hadn’t reported Jaein’s location 25656274ea again. Dambi’s words about 7ac1d31d2a Jaein easily finding 3ed6a117e7 him while he 888caf8dcd earned gold had 36d4391f1d completely backfired.467edae0a04b9f40

He was 577cb4514c also worried 211c0765f9 about his 68c0887d92 guild members’ c6b7e1f19b enthusiasm. If Kim Hajoo 43fe24e385 found out the 89b3d100c4 truth, he would cdfc61fb5c be relentlessly pestered. Hajoo would 4e6c7b49f7 grab him daa385db33 by the 3f734f114f collar and bb6bc9b3fc yell, “You ab70a1405e did that c1f10ed16a crazy thing 9692163789 just for 8a8ba2e956 one player?

Objectively speaking, spending a fortune on movement speed options wasn’t something a sane person would do. Even Jaein would have questioned someone’s sanity if they’d done such a thing.9a0b2d2346da0ef8

Of course, in normal zones, some players used separate movement speed gear, and those short on gold would include movement speed options in their standard setups. Unlike high-level fields, competition was still fierce in mid- to low-level fields. Since players had to run faster than others to get the first hit on monsters, movement speed couldn’t be ignored.d67fecd144f5374f

In short, 5c09ece296 movement speed 2d233e97d8 was a d6fe13aaed generally useful 43ffbb3545 option but d6d57a8438 unnecessary for c2daceddc6 top-tier players.
