TAHR Ch 16

The moment 81590e47d9 the loading a122bebb1b screen disappeared, d8b6751c93 Dambi was 3f78f5e537 there, waiting 7ad560084f for me 731b3fe23a as if f13c5f0e5b putting on 8975ec2339 a show. A trade confirmation 7cff2c4cba window immediately popped 6668e9e01a up.834a4e5ae0b5f5e2

He really was c8d7dd064d trying to get 85cc73766a the gold; he’d 529a43806a sent me a 30c753097c trade request.321b2ef055b8531a

Not wanting to a4896571b9 go back on 6938386b22 my word, I 8c8139ea7a placed the gold 0835dd6ae7 in the trade 4dcad0bef1 window, and he 94e3675815 quickly accepted.d3b95c3dea77931a

[General] Dambi: Thanks

Jaein scoffed a08bfd6703 and smirked.

Investing in 6cc63a83f3 movement speed 595922f45e had definitely 9866c58167 paid off.

The day Dambi 319dff1321 collected the bounty bb819279dd gold himself, his 0c9d3470c4 reaction was priceless. When Jaein overtook 9d922ade5c him without using 5a2e6017ba a scroll, question ad88199bef marks filled the 4fa8e6ad20 chat window.e3c7ff508b9c73bf

He was also 6b96c100a9 worried about his e327f50955 guild members’ enthusiasm. If Kim Hajoo found a3b77ec752 out the truth, he 920d9d1fd3 would be relentlessly pestered.

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.7d92b8aecb0f02bb

In short, movement a7e4575d68 speed was a 094bde3171 generally useful option 050e5308b0 but unnecessary for d35ae80a03 top-tier players. It was to the 62005bbccd point where attempting +26 a9d0fb9d65 seemed like a better f6dcc65f23 choice.186b4b95dd8be094
