category for instance while both a blue
and a green steel sword might be
classified as steel swords the blue
quality sword had undoubtedly surpassed
the standard expectations of ordinary
steel swords possibly being more durable
sharper or otherwise Superior just as
icho contemplated selecting a few
additional pieces for convenience an
Abrupt sound of hurried footsteps echoed
from a distance he chose heart raced had
other players discovered the weapon
reposit already it seemed too soon which
team could have defeated the two-headed
Hound in such a short time could it be
the team of the Mage God judging by the
footsteps there were approximately five
individuals which was not entirely
implausible why ichio chose not to flee
but instead concealed himself in a
corner intent on observing the newcomers
soon a group of five appeared before him
the two leading figures held torches and
wooden weapons exuding an air of
vigilance point1 was named I love water
melon and the other Hong long upon
seeing their IDs icho felt a wave of
relief it was indeed them stepping out
from the Shadows ichio was immediately
met with a sharp gaze who goes there
ichio quickly raised his hands no need
to be alarmed I am a player upon hearing
the term player the five hesitantly
lowered their weapons Fong positioned in
the center of the group approached icho
and inquired are you the new recruit
this time icho nodded acknowledging the
esteemed reputation of the Great St
light Fong however did not pay heed to
the flattery he instinctively furrowed
his brow and inquired how did you find
this place icho smiled I fought my way
here Fong zun's immediate reaction was
disbelief a novice arriving unarmed
could reach this location even an
experienced Hunter would struggle to do
so yet the truth remained that ichio had
indeed made his way here empty-handed
Fong exchanged glances with his
companions and then Drew out a map we
discovered this map in the Eastern
mining area which specifically marks
this location it took us two whole days
to arrive here whyo scratched his head
at this Revelation it was indeed
difficult to explain and he had no
reasonable explanation to offer thus he
chose to obfuscate I don't really know I
just wandered around aimlessly until I
got here Fong Z glanced over his
shoulder and asked then how did you
bypass that two-headed Hound icho turned
to look behind him I entered through a
side path
there were no monsters there if you
don't believe me I can take you to see
Fong shook his head no need that I'm not
interrogating you I'm merely curious
after all luck is also a form of
strength I wonder if you would be
interested in joining our Guild Fang had
no intention of pursuing the matter
further as it would serve no purpose
could he really kill icho outright if
killing yielded equipment he might have
considered it but alas there were no
rewards for slaying another player only
the acquisition of new enemies in that
case it would be more advantageous to
recruit this newcomer especially since
he had managed to reach this point on
his first day online which surely
indicated some level of skill faced with
Fong Z's Olive Branch icho found no
reason to refuse in fact he had already
entertained the idea then I shall rely
on the great Saint light both were
astute individuals and thus quickly
reached an accord icho had known of Fong
Z's character from his previous life had
it been anyone else he might have
resorted to violence I in his past life
Fong was a leading figure in the
Frontline strategy group his team
comprised almost entirely of top tier
experts why icho had benefited from
Fong's team in his previous life a
kindness he had not forgotten after the
game commenced Fong became an
indispensable member of the seal Tower
