The Gene Gamer

"As I have introduced before, this is our guild leader - Cold Mountain. He is exactly as I said, a Tier 1 swordsman. He has already been scouted by a second-rate guild already so you can count on him." after taking some time, Gourmet continued once again. 

"As for her, she is Pruse. A lvl. 15 warlock; a class that specializes in the use of force and heavy weapons like a berserker but has the ability to use magic to help them. As for me, I am a lvl. 13 magician." 

After he heard Gourmet's introduction, he checked their classes in case they also possess any hidden classes. The result was that they didn't have any hidden class but instead had a talent to help them just like him. 

"Then welcome Hydrogen" - Cold Mountain

"Right! Welcome Hydrogen" - Pruse

"Thanks. I'm flattered" replied Cylius to both of them. 

"Although we might be small for now, we will definitely become big someday. And this someday might happen soon!" said Pruse energetically. She seemed to say 'don't leave' to him.

If one thing was to be noted about her, it was her excessive energy. If her amount of energy were to be compared, it would equal that of Garen's when he was on the spaceship. 

"Now, what about the fire-resistant no aroma dust? Are we doing a raid on them soon?" asked Gourmet. 

"Yes. We have to take the chance and secure ourselves some profit lest their price goes down suddenly just like how it increased." said Cold Mountain with a serious expression. 

"Them...? Oh about the fire ants?" confirmed Cylius. 

"Yes. Fire ants, as you know, is a monster that had just recently emerged. It has a harp carapace along with extra fire damage when they attack. As their mandibles have the ability to give items that were crafted with it, fire damage and a certain increase in success rate, their price had shot up. Due to it, more and more people are hunting them now. We have to be quick or else, the players might just hunt until there are no more fire ants around Windwhale city."

"But wouldn't they just respawn?" 

"No. This game works differently than others. The monsters here acted very much like those in the real world. Monsters didn't respawn here without a cause and only if the wolves mated would they respawn." came Gourmet's answer. 

"The queen ant acts as the head of the ants. If the queen were to be killed, the rest of the ants would soon follow their queen and die as well." Cold Mountain and Pruse followed along and gave him a basic view on what Fire Ants were. 

"But can we take on the ants by ourselves? With our strength, I don't think we could take on even a single group of them." 

"Don't worry. That's the reason why we bought fire-resistant no aroma dust. With just a sprinkle on our bodies, we would be able to hide away from their sense of smell and assassinate the queen. As not much people know about it, the price of this dust still remains the same" 

"What if they see you? The aroma dust may be able to hide your scent but your figure would still be viewable." 

"As for that, it's covered up as well. Guild leader has a skill that enables him to become invisible during a certain time. With his power, he could easily kill the queen ant." 

"..." Cylius stayed silent. 

"Then... wouldn't it be reckless for you to share this information with me? I could inform other guilds about it" after being silent for some time, he opened his mouth. 

"We're not much worried about whether you distribute this information as we had already bought the dust we needed. Besides, it was going to be revealed to the public soon anyways; whether sooner or later doesn't matter much to us" replied Pruse.  contemporary romance

"I see. Then I would like to join the guild" 

"Ah, why did you suddenly decide that?" surprised by his answer, they asked. 

"Because I feel like I would gain much if I stay with you three." 

"So intuition it is?" asked Cold Mountains somewhat suspiciously. 

"Yes. Intuition" 

The reason he said this was because to dispel the trust between them. 

From the ordinary person's eye, this might seem like a bad decision that would have a reverse effect than the one desired. But this wasn't so. 

As he had his uncommon staff and robes equipped when he met them, they would of course have a certain suspicion towards him considering he was a newbie. So saying that he relied on his intuition would have a reverse effect, making them think he was unlikely to be a spy or one with malicious intent. 

If people were to have some kind of malicious intent, they would of course try to clear them of their suspicion. Meaning, they would act like how a normal person would do to not increase their suspicion towards him. 

So since he had especially did a move that a normal person wouldn't, he had cleared himself of suspicion. 

Of course, they could also think that he had said intuition specifically to dispel his own suspicion using this train of thought.

But then, until now, Cylius didn't leave any loopholes for himself. At least one that he was aware of. Besides, that thought would be dispelled as soon as it came out because they would think that they weren't worth it for someone to go to that length. 

And indeed, Cylius didn't have any malicious thoughts about them. He only thought of acquiring the information about Gourmet's hidden class and then leave. 

He would at most be a week in this guild before leaving.

"Great, you have joined the guild" 

"Now, we, God's Palm has four members! One additional member except from the founding three!"  celebrated Gourmet.
