Matan's Shooter

Chapter 124

“This is crazy…… this is called the capital ‘branch’?”

The whitewashed stone walls soared to a height rare in Middle Earth.

Ordinary stores or buildings were 2 to 3 stories high.

If one wanted something a little bigger, it would be up to the 4th floor…… the Holy Grill’s capital branch was 5 stories high.

The “main store” in Candle Castle was just a single-story wooden building. It was hard to compare it to here.

“Wow…… What is this?”

“Is this what a new store opening looks like?”

“It’s surprising. Is this an update too? Is it in the homepage?”

“No. I heard that they don’t always tell users about the smallest patches.”

“What do they sell…… it’s so cool.”

The door was still closed, but the large building that was under construction was enough to attract the attention of surrounding users.

Leeha listened carefully to the noise of the chattering users.

‘Most users don’t know it’s a restaurant.’

He wanted to see the inside as well, but he couldn’t get in. As a noise-like sound was heard from the inside, the preparation for the opening ceremony was in full swing.

‘It didn’t just happen because of programming, it had been shown since the very beginning. What did the quick-witted users get? No, it is hard to guess with just a glance. I don’t know if there’s another case.’

In other words, if one did not have any experience in Middle Earth, it was impossible to know what the role and importance of a new store would have.

‘Anyway, it would open in 4 days……. I have to level up first.’

Since it was 4 days in Middle Earth, it would mean it would be tomorrow in reality. Leeha did not intend to spend his day resting.

He had enough time to bomb Stone Golems and raise two levels.

“Well, where- huh?” A few people blocked Leeha’s way, who was about to go hunting.

One, two, three. People snuck on Leeha from the front, back, and both sides without him noticing.

Leeha’s face distorted when he saw the familiar faces.

“Really…… you are quite persistent.”

Leeha remembered Kijeong’s words.

[It’s not that I don’t have the ability to catch them. I just leave them alone because it’s useless to catch only one or two of them. The only solution is to level so they won’t follow you.]

Leeha started to feel it. In addition, the number of people increased.

This time, there were twenty people, and they have diverse jobs.

If any of them was able to mark him, it would probably become more difficult in the future

“I told you, you can’t run away!”

“Do you really have to do this?”

Leeha asked.

“Do you know how much I lost because of you?”

“Do I need to know that? You guys were the one who started it! Besides, no matter how Rising Sun is, isn’t it a bit too much to be like this in the capital? You’re like crazy people.”

“I got a loan because of you. I won’t stop until I get it from you.”

The only person who sharpened his teeth was Tikal. His gear was better than before.

Did he get into debt to invest in-game items? And the reason for all of this was to kill Leeha?

“You’re really crazy.”

Leeha sighed and said.

“If you rob me, will you be able to pay it off? Twenty people chasing after me… would it still be worth your time? Wouldn’t it be more productive to hunt using that time? Yeah, let’s say you’ve yield a hundred times and killed me a few times. Will you recover your money? Do you think I’m super-rich? Even if you rob everything I have, you will only get 50 gold. How much do you think would it be if you sold my items?”

Of course, 50 gold is a lot of money, it’s equivalent to 6 million won! However, with this money, Tikal would not even be able to pay for his new equipment.

“……I will be able to kill you though.”

“Didn’t you hear what I just said? Calm down, man!”

“It’s not just about money, this fucking bastard!”

Tikal’s eyes lit up.

“It’s my pride! I will definitely kill you for that. And no matter how much money you have, I will take it all. Until you disappear

from Middle Earth.”

There was sincerity in his quiet, muttering voice. It was enough to make Leeha’s back cold.

It was the determination to risk everything he had.

“It’s really crazy……. But think about how many times you will die in the process. The same for those people behind you.”

Leeha said to the man behind Tikal.

“If I start now, how many times do you think you will die? Calm down and live. How many times have you already killed me, and how many items have you lost?”

“W-what- you bastard-.”

“Go and play the game. Stop doing dirty things. Why do you do that in a game where there’s so much to do? I’ll say goodbye now!”

And Leeha tore a teleportation scroll.

As he disappeared in an instant, the twenty Rising Sun users stared blankly.

“Anyway…… he’s really spiteful. Well, if that’s the way they enjoy the game, I have nothing to say.”

Leeha pretended to be calm as he tore the teleport scroll, however, Tikal’s slanted personality really got into his nerves.

Besides, how frightening is the solidity of Rising Sun for them to follow Tikal like that.

Leeha guessed that it was possible for Tikal to pay for his debts after selling the items he stole from users, and the rest can go to his pocket, that is why it was hard to get out of the bog that was Rising Sun.

“Anyway, where is this?”

50-silver teleport scroll. If he used it toward a location recorded on a crystal ball, there would be about 10 seconds delay, but if he did not have any destination, the scroll would take effect immediately.

The problem was…… he would literally be thrown to a random location. It was also a very dangerous method.

If it was all over the continent without a specific radius, one could suddenly fall into a high-level hunting ground with a single scroll and die.

Or one could get to other countries or strange areas, that was why it was discouraged to use teleport scroll like that.

‘Next time, I will use the teleport scroll that only works in Fibiel Kingdom.’

The random scroll was 50 silver, while the limited range scroll was 90 silver.

When asked why it was like that, it was probably because it had stability.

“Well then……”

First, Leeha made sure that there were no monsters around and opened his map. Fortunately, his mark appeared on the map of Fibiel Kingdom.

It meant he was within the kingdom.

“Sentinel Mountain- Oh, is this near the watching peak?”

He was lucky.

It was a town with a relatively large number of users. It was a hunting ground users from level 80 to 130 with orcs and trolls of various levels!

“Haha, the person who works hard would pick up money even if he falls down.”

Leeha tightened the musket’s shoulder strap and headed for the fortress city at the base of Watching Peak, Berfort.

It was a city that provided quests to reduce the orc population and prevent orc villages from moving south.

Therefore, many NPC soldiers were deployed to block the orcs, but like all fortress cities, there were few guards in charge of security inside the city.

It was also the place one would stay for quite a long time if they leveled up while hunting on the common route.

“Tanker from Jaktoum village part!”

“Looking for magician a magician to go to Leor’s village, I don’t care about your attribute as long as you deal magic damage!”

“Archer looking for a party, level 95 Go go go.”

In a sense, there were more high-level players here than in the capital.

“For a bloody-looking city, there are definitely a lot of people.”

Maybe that’s the reason why those idiots do not come here.

Leeha suddenly thought that his armor looked pretty shabby.

‘Cough, I should change this soon. It has fire resistance and is a pretty good item, but……’

Although it had been repaired several times in the Tailor Shop, it was noticeable that its durability was not the same. Leeha rolled around so much to the point where it would be destroyed sooner or later, so it was time to change it.

‘Anyway, party play is too much for the time being……. I should go on a reconnaissance as well.’

The user’s level wasn’t shown, and orcs have diverse level distributions that it’s hard to attack them recklessly,

so Leeha decided to find the weakest orc in Sentinel Mountain.

After Leeha listened to the shouts of users for a while, Leeha grasped the type and location of the orcs and set out on his own.

“It is obvious that the Sentinel Mountain is a tributary of the place where I caught the Brass Golem…. but the atmosphere is a lot different.”

It was only a rocky mountain covered with gravel.

In comparison, the mountain range he was at was as beautiful as any mountain range in Europe.

Leeha hadn’t gone there yet, but he thought that it would feel like this. There was even perennial snow, so the atmosphere was definitely set.

‘The level 70 Chain Orc tribe are the easiest opponent. Among them, the workers are in their mid-70s.’

Perhaps because the normal level for hunting orcs was at level 80, so the weakest Chain Orc tribe.

Since its level was lower than users, there was no need to catch those orcs.

It was good news to Leeha!

He was already used to hunting in places where there were no users, and above all, if he wanted to practice the skill Snipe, it was better to have as few obstacles as possible around him.

And like that, he went out of Berfort and walked for about an hour. Leeha arrived near Chain Orc Village.

‘I would normally try camping somewhere nearby, but……’

Snipe practice is more important than leveling.

Leeha searched for a desirable location by alternately looking at the map and the surrounding terrain.

A place where he would be able to see the orc village and was around 350m away. And he wanted to secure safety, so there should also be no monsters around……

Although it was not easy.

Of course, if such a place did not appear, he would go for the next best option, give up hunting, and just focus on practicing his shooting.

Leeha headed to the back of the hill where the orc village was barely visible. contemporary romance

‘I-Is this too far away?’

Literally, the ‘village’ was only visible. It was difficult to see the guys whose skin had the same color as the background.

At least, he was able to see the movement of the orcs’ legs, whenever they moved.

‘Orcs are large and tall, similar to an adult male. The movement of their legs are clearly visible

and are within 500m…… about 400m. No…… about 410m? 420m?’

It was not something to laugh about.

Leeha loaded his musket and slowly laid down. One of the ways to increase range was to eliminate as much recoil as possible.

The bullet must be guided to receive the correct propelling force of the gunpowder.

“Phew……. If it had been my original rifle, I would have been able to hit the target at this level.”

Leeha was reminded of his military days. If it was the sniper rifle he used at that time he was confident that he would be able to hit 800m range.

However, his musket was not bolt-action, and its maximum range was 400m!

‘Ahaha, if I was born in the Napoleonic era, I may have lived a life of whining.’

If it was 400m away, it was quite difficult to guess who was standing in front of Admiral Yi Sun-Shin in Gwanghamun.

It was a range that was 10 times more than a normal musketeer.

Leeha relaxed on the joke and put his cheek on the musket butt.

“Phew……

First, I need to identify my goal. After looking at the village for a long time, he caught himself procrastinating again.

“Eagle’s Eye, maximum magnification.”

He only had one minute.

Within one minute, he needed to adjust the zero point, as well as measure all the variables.

‘Fortunately, there’s hardly any wind. It is perfect for practice.’

An orc carried something with a similar shape to his shoulder and sat down.

Was it trying to dig on the floor? His actions did not matter to Leeha.

The musket’s muzzle slowly moved towards the orc’s head.

Do not turn the gun too far. At maximum magnification, a slight movement made Leeha’s vision shake as if his eyeballs would pop out.

‘Aim for the head…… If I shoot like this, it should pierce his temple.’

The gun stopped. The orc stopped moving.

Leeha’s breathing also stopped.

‘Snipe.’

He felt the barrel flash for a moment, but Leeha didn’t look at it.

‘Calm Mind.’

It increased his accuracy.

It was a distance that he could miss with just a shake of pulling the trigger.

Baaang—!

A gunshot rang out, and smoke burst out. The orc bent and turned his head and body.

Piit-!

The bullet arrived 1.4 seconds after Leeha shot. In the area where the Chain-Orc worker was, gravel bounced off.
