TAHR Ch 19

The first to react were the more passive guild members who didn’t enjoy combat. Unlike the speedrunners who were feeling the heat, these members only had to do what they always did for gear inspections, so they were relatively less stressed.44019bfc04ba2840

They were generally the quiet type, rarely appearing in guild chat unless called upon. But this time, they couldn’t resist chiming in.9ef749fba605c0cf

[Guild] ZeroZero00: I can feel the rage radiating from that announcement lol

[Guild] Lapin: LOL

[Guild] Zoo464: LOL

[Guild] Sunset: I guess our Guild Master was watching us, huh?

[Guild] ZeroZero00: LOL

[Guild] Zoo464: Good thing I just farm lol

[Guild] Sunset: Good luck to the speedrun members…? ^^;;;

[Guild] Zoo464: Rip

[Guild] Lapin: Suffer well lol

As the guild 9ac43ebec1 members openly teased 65a8a2c569 them, the speedrunners 0c53714406 finally came to 3aab9f5b2c their senses and 225f765abb started wailing.44be55bc589ac311

[Guild] IfYouMeetTiger: M-meow…?

[Guild] Ttunttuni: You crazy bastard;;;; What is this;;

Jaein smirked, looking at the tear-soaked guild chat. He was immensely satisfied with their predictable reaction. However, he hadn’t posted the announcement as a joke, so he responded curtly on purpose.97f4feb642113e5f

[Guild] Mollamolla: ?? What is?

[Guild] Ttunttuni: Why the sudden increase?! There are less than 20 days left, how are we supposed to do that?

[Guild] Mollamolla: How are you supposed to do it? Put in the materials, put in the gold, and roll.

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: ;;;;; ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] Ari s0ng: G-G-G-Guild Master-nim?

[Guild] Mollamolla: Why? You all seemed to have plenty of free time.

[Guild] Mollamolla: I figured you were goofing off since you could easily do this.

[Guild] Ari s0ng: No… that… that’s… uh…….

[Guild] DriedFishOnly: Multitasking is essential, man; We gotta grind and chat! It’s like… chatting is the default, you know?

[Guild] Ari s0ng: Right, right!!!!

[Guild] Mollamolla: Ahh, so you were making fun of me?

[Guild] Ttunttuni: ……..

[Guild] Mollamolla: If you post that story, be sure to let me know where to read it.

[Guild] Mollamolla: I’m not kidding about the revised announcement, so get it done by the 25th.

Jaein’s firmness made the guild members tremble.72d9c7356ce19a74

Blaze didn’t have a pity system, so you had to keep enhancing until you succeeded. The success rate for +24 enhancement was abysmal, so no matter how much you tried, it wasn’t easy. Even three was a stretch, so how much gold and materials would it take to do five…?813eb32b5ff3a1b5

No matter 8be492e701 how he 52592564cf thought about 4ecd03f40a it, this cd0f0c710a was basically 514f224739 a death 40e755edcc sentence.abe8bc36a17f3000

[Guild] DriedFishOnly: Guild Master, this is revenge…

[Guild] Mollamolla: Revenge? It is revenge.

DriedFishOnly tried to defy him, but Jaein’s next words shut him down.c80bd0673d30e465

[Guild] Mollamolla: But is there anything bad about improving?

[Guild] Mollamolla: Your individual ranking goes up, guild score increases, speedrun times decrease, and it’d be great if we could recruit Youngil, but if we can’t? We have to fill the gap. What do you think will happen if we lose to those 입살 bastards by a small margin?

[Guild] Mollamolla: You guys make money from this too.

[Guild] Mollamolla: You know you won’t make as much money if we don’t become the top guild, right?

Blaze had a dd1c326a18 system where you 936d1caab0 could legally convert 8b6c2b1e47 gold into cash. So there were a089f96f68 people who played 10f5c24a98 the game professionally, d8e7e85707 and many who 8c81070437 used it as 4a70adce3a a part-time job.971b8966976be7ac

Quite a 115c3c0a0e few members 162c2ed1e7 of the 520b4c2235 Pufferfish guild ddd1cd5d91 earned money 5e30f56b17 professionally or 02150ac95f part-time.f24f74b8a9f28173

[Guild] Mollamolla: And honestly, I think we’re a bit lacking to recruit Youngil anyway.

[Guild] Mollamolla: Think from Youngil’s perspective. Wouldn’t he be more tempted by strong players? There’s no way being recruited by players who are barely +23 is the same as being recruited by players who are solidly +24.

Hit with hard facts, the guild members were speechless. They felt a bit cornered, but they couldn’t refute him because he wasn’t wrong.3fcab99dcebe7546

The most realistic concern was the disadvantage of not becoming the top guild. How frustrating would it be to lose what they had taken for granted due to their own lack of effort? They knew it intellectually, but since they hadn’t experienced it, it felt like a distant story. Today, however, they were facing reality. The fire under their feet was burning hot.2bd733b0ac9257c7

Jaein raised 634a209f9c an eyebrow, 1c38476f36 looking at 72880057d0 the subdued 4c90b81d88 guild chat.ea68e90946ff73c4

He had deliberately provoked them to face reality, but he didn’t intend to demoralize them.bb9bda1d3bfa8be3

[Guild] Mollamolla: So run like your feet are on fire, starting now.

[Guild] Mollamolla: No time to waste, you know?

[Guild] Mollamolla: I’ll send 20,000 gold each by mail if you answer nicely.

As soon as he bb2f650bcc dangled the carrot, the 9a3ea3edcc guild chat became lively c97dccccc5 again as if they c46042c8c4 had never been discouraged.2c7edd2e0b3c0599

[Guild] Anew: I’ll get right on it!!!

[Guild] IfYouMeetTiger: M-meow!!

[Guild] Ttunttuni: Guild Master!!!! ( °ᗝ° ).ᐟ.ᐟ

20,000 gold was a jaw-dropping amount for average players, but for top-tier players, it was only enough to slightly ease the burden. Still, it was equivalent to three months’ worth of gold, so it was natural for the guild members to be excited.bd699706378f22c6

Jaein watched them bowing c0a4070261 360 degrees in excitement bf81035ed7 and spotted one member 6122566346 prematurely celebrating. He had 26b7041166 no intention 2f21821546 of giving 3bdb0c55c4 that guy 6dfa267d31 anything, so 1c377bae72 why was de8160d65d he so afce37af7c happy?a07449c7679fd1f8

[Guild] Mollamolla: Except you, Ttunttuni.

[Guild] Ttunttuni: What? Why me??? Why me!! Be fair!!!!!!

[Guild] Mollamolla: Then you want to do five too?

[Guild] Ttunttuni: You crazy bastard, you told me to enhance too!!!!

[Guild] Mollamolla: Enhance five items like the others. Then I’ll give it to you.

[Guild] Ttunttuni: This son of a bitch and son of a bitch and son of a bitch!!!

[Guild] ZeroZero00: LOL

[Guild] Lapin: Happy ending for everyone but one

[Guild] Zoo464: LOL

[Guild] Sunset: LOL This is the trooth

[Guild] Ttunttuni: What truth!!!!! And it’s “truth,” not “trooth” you idiot!

[Guild] Ari s0ng: Hey, low-HP, why are you being like this∼ Like anyone doesn’t know that∼

[Guild] Ari s0ng: And admins don’t get prize money! ㅇㅅㅇ!

[Guild] DriedFishOnly: Yeah yeah, they don’t!

[Guild] Ttunttuni: This isn’t prize money!! !# @!@^!@!%#&

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: LOL

[Guild] IfYouMeetTiger: heh

Realizing he had no allies, Ttunttuni started raging, and the guild members, who were serious about teasing him, wouldn’t leave their prey alone. The guild chat, more energetic than usual, was scrolling rapidly as they chewed him up and spat him out, when Jaein received a whisper. Someone had spotted Dambi.16928bfae7885320

Jaein sent 20,000 7d601620d0 gold to each 72bc007d55 speedrun member except a61e5f6ca6 Ttunttuni and immediately d91fb3124e accepted the party 0b3684c78c invitation. The location was Arland, 3dcfb21614 a region Dambi had 5e549c6f4b never been to before.f2edc1f2fcdb5369

Jaein grinned and took 6c3106aa5f the portal to his 46433e6088 party member. He arrived 9d3382ce1a at a 211d4e3c9e cleverly hidden 6b8956beb3 cliff. Dambi was slowly 8970e0e60a moving along, seemingly ae45bcedc6 unaware of his 539ee026d0 presence.e57601d465a2cb1b
