New Season (4)

Having spent a long time only working, Anna started Leore to have a hobby like Arang-i.

The combat part was scary, so she decided to raise a life profession recommended by her friend, Soonchu.

Playing Leore with a life profession was fun.

In reality, when I study or work, it’s not numerically visible, and I have to look back after spending a lot of time to feel that I’ve grown, but Leore, or rather, the game, was different.

The reward for one’s efforts, studies, and work being immediately visible was more fun than I thought.

Moreover, in reality, I have no talent for cooking, but here, I just need to press the skills according to each situation, and a wonderful dish is completed.

Anna has currently reached the maximum level in cooking and alchemy.

The reason is, of course, to make doping items in Leore for Arang-i.

She started to have the same hobby as Arang-i, but Anna was already immersed in Leore.

Wearing clothes that she couldn’t wear in reality and seeing fantastic landscapes, she smiled as she saw herself getting stronger.

Anna smiled slyly as she looked at the elixir, a doping item she had made.

,Finally succeeded! I haven’t received a high grade yet, but it won’t be long.”

A red elixir sloshing in a plastic test tube-like bottle.

It is an elixir that allows the person who consumes it to receive a damage buff.

Whether it’s an elixir or a dish, when a life profession makes something, the better the quality, the stronger the effects.

The elixir Anna made now was an ordinary elixir that could not receive the enhanced effect.

However, Anna praised herself because she was the first to create the highest-level doping elixir in Leore without anyone’s help.

,Since I can finish the last job quest, is the important thing now equipment?”

The last job quest for the life profession was making an elixir.

Completing the quest grants the last skill and the condition to wear the final equipment.

,Ji-eun said that I have to buy the final equipment, right?”

With the current equipment, no matter how lucky you are or how well you use your skills, you cannot create high-quality items.

Combat profession equipment is obtained through raids and subjugation battles, but life profession equipment must be crafted.

The only profession that can make it is blacksmith, so other life professions who didn’t raise a blacksmith, like Anna, have to buy the equipment made by the blacksmith.

Anna currently needs chef and alchemist equipment.

Of course, a huge amount of gold is needed to acquire the final life profession equipment.

,Let’s see.”

Anna opened the auction house and checked the final chef and alchemist equipment, tilting her head.

,It’s cheaper than I thought?”

Anna checked the gold she had and the gold price of the equipment being sold at the auction house.

In Leore, there are a total of 12 pieces of equipment and accessories. And 13 including the weapon.

The current equipment price at the auction house is approximately 200,000 gold per piece.

In cash, that’s 200,000 won.

Anna currently has 50 million gold.

Trading in cash is a violation of Leore’s terms of service, but it’s not illegal, and among all RPG games so far, there hasn’t been a single game without cash transactions.

That doesn’t mean Anna has done any cash transactions.

But why does she have so much gold?

It was simple.

Anna is a very famous person in all industries that use Masble’s access devices or servers, including the game industry, although users don’t know it well.

She can’t not be famous.

It’s unlikely, but if Anna sets her mind to it, it’s not difficult to bankrupt a company.

Even though Anna has stepped down from her position as the head of Masble Korea, the influence she has is very high.

When Anna stepped down from her position as CEO and the news that she was creating a dedicated access device, everyone paid attention to Anna’s actions.

And everyone knew why Anna was doing that.

Lee Arang-i. Knowing that Anna’s younger sibling enjoys Leore, people who heard the news that Anna created the access device to play the game with her sibling looked for Anna in Leore.

In fact, they couldn’t help but know rather than looking for her.

Anna, who didn’t change her character customization and made her nickname her own name like Arang-i.

Because of that, people who knew Anna tried to become game friends with Anna.

Especially when Anna was a newbie, they diligently gave her handouts like high-level players helping newbies, and Anna just thought that bored users were helping a newbie like herself.

And after Anna adapted to Leore to some extent, she realized that the users who had been giving her handouts until now were not just trying to help her.

Users who approached her not just thinking of her as a friend like in the old days, but to gain something.

She would have been sad in the past, but she is different now that she has matured.

,I should use them deliciously.”

Anna, who was no longer the head of the Korean branch but just an ordinary user, comfortably ate whatever they gave her and acquired all the final equipment in one day.

Anna, who was diligently living her Leore life after joining Arang-i’s guild, became interested in the conflict map that came out as a guild war content.

She had a lot of gold, so she could have just bought it at the auction house and given it to Arang-i without making it herself, but she didn’t really want to do that.

Because Leore has the creator’s nickname engraved on all crafted items.

Anna, who thought she would give Arang-i a gift, entered the conflict map, remembered several precautions from Soonchu, and met someone while diligently gathering materials.

The tall and ordinary-looking man was clearly not from the Munchkin Cat Guild.

,This is our Arang-i’s guild territory right now? Should I not have come alone after all? But… he doesn’t seem to have any hostility. Rather…”

Anna frowned as she looked at the man staring at her.

She saw desire, not hostility.

,How unpleasant.”

She usually doesn’t feel bad when someone looks at her, but she felt like the man was looking at her as a lump of lust.

,Hello~”

The man approached, smiling nonchalantly.

,This is Munchkin Cat Guild territory.”

,Oh. Is that so? By any chance, do you need a friend to play games with?”

Anna was dumbfounded and laughed at the man’s actions, who approached her and looked at her from head to toe with a deep gaze.

,I don’t need one. Could you please leave here?”

The moment Anna ignored the man and tried to turn around.

,Hey. When a man speaks, you should listen obediently.”

Anna suddenly felt stiffness in her legs and fell to the floor.

,Haa… That Lee Hayan bitch from before, and why are you guys so rude these days.”

,Lee Hayan?”

,Do you know Lee Hayan? I’m sure her nickname was Pinku Berry. Anyway, you or that bitch, where do you leave your manners? Ah, or is that your preference?”

,Ha… you’re not just someone who lacks manners, but a beast.”

,The way you talk, did you put a rag in your mouth? I was going to seduce you a bit because you have a good body, but I don’t need to anymore.”

With those words, the man attacked Anna and killed her.

Guild house living room.

,Hoo… There must be beasts like that because there are so many users. But…”

Anna, who revived in the guild house, recalled the words the beast said earlier.

,I just brushed it off when he first said Lee Hayan… but if he even said her nickname, he must know Hayan.”

Pinku Berry is already a friend and family-like younger sibling to Anna.

She cannot leave that beast alone, who cursed at Hayan-i and spoke as if he had done something to her in the past.

She thought she should talk to Hayan-i first and was about to contact Hayan-i when.

,Unnie!!!”

Arang-i came to find her.

,Huh? Arang-ah.”

Anna picked up Arang-i in front of her as always.

Arang-i naturally came into Anna’s arms and was about to close her eyes when she realized that this was not an important situation and opened her eyes wide.

,Unnie. You just died on the conflict map, right?”

,Huh? How did you know?”

,When a guild member dies on the conflict map, the logs all remain in the guild.”

,Ah, I see.”

,What bastard killed unnie?”

Anna, who found Arang-i’s angry appearance rather cute, smiled and stroked Arang-i’s cheek.

,Um…”

,Unnie?”

Anna hesitated whether to tell Arang-i what she had just learned.

,No. Arang-i shouldn’t get involved with beasts like that. I don’t want to show or let pure Arang-i hear things like that. I should talk to Hayan-i and Ji-eun first.”

,It’s my fault for going alone. That’s what that place is like anyway.”

,That’s true, but. It’s a place where we can take revenge without any problems.”

,Unnie is okay. Don’t worry about unnie.”

,How can I not worry when you couldn’t even whisper until recently.”

,T, that’s because Ji-eun-i didn’t tell me…!”

,Soonchu unnie was wrong.”

,Right.”

Anna subtly changed the subject without mentioning the beast that killed her.
