Matan’s Shooter - Chapter 126

Chapter 126

– You can’t! I told you this before! It’s different from kids playing rocks, papers, scissors! If the vice-guild master takes over, the situation will remain the same, there could even be second and third Rising Sun-.

-No, Kijeong. It won’t.

– Huh?

Listening to Kijeong’s words, Leeha wanted to laugh. Of course, after he caught the roadrunner, Kijeong’s words seemed correct.

However, he saw it when he fought Wild Angels after he destroyed the bandit group.

The fact that an organization would change depending on the presence or absence of an absolutely charismatic leader.

A bandit group made of NPCs in Middle Earth also collapsed.

Are humans any different?

Of course, there was no guarantee that Rising Sun would follow the same path, but through Browless’s training, at least Leeha would like to try.

Leeha wanted to say that to Kijeong.

-I don’t know. Uh……. You would not know if you won the lottery if you don’t even scratch it. Do you understand? Buy a lottery ticket…… No, if you expect to win without buying- huh?

-Eh? What are you talking about all of a sudden? What lottery?

-No, so- Why am I trying to explain why I can’t speak well.

-What do you want to say, huh? Do you even buy lottery tickets?

Apparently, Browless was able to explain it better in simpler words.

Hearing Kijeong’s voice, Leeha scratched his head.

-Anyway! What I want to say is ‘I will only know when I try. Nothing will change if I only try to think bout it a hundred times, but if I try it even once, something will change. Do you understand? I will do it. I have to do it to know. A ripple will occur when even a single pebble is thrown in the water. No matter how much you stare at a boulder, nothing will change if you don’t throw it in the river.

After hearing Leeha’s words, Kijeong’s voice disappeared. Leeha waited for a while.

-I won’t be able to stop you, huh? Phew……. Then, you should register a guild.

-What?

-There are non-chaotic users in the Rising Sun, so you can’t kill them indiscriminately if you don’t want to be a criminal. After registering a guild, declare a guild war on the Rising Sun and fight them. In that case, the enemy guild members will be treated as ‘monsters’, and your chaotic index will not change. And since your experience will also increase when you kill them, you can level up at the same time.

-Kijeong!

-It feels like I’m giving you permission. Haha, I’m sure you will do well anyway. I relax chill instead! The moment you declare the guild war, the only safe place from the Rising Sun would be the capital. The small town’s security won’t be able to stop those packs of dogs. No, speaking of guild wars, the guards won’t even interfere.

Kijeong shared everything he knew with Leeha.

That was the reason why the Byeolcho guild did not declare guild war against Ram Hwayeon’s guild, with which they have a competitive relationship.

The capital was protected by the Sacred Knights, but not the other villages.

In other words, the peace would disappear until the guild war was over, so unless it was irreconcilable, people generally do not go to guild war and prepare for mediation, compromise, or in the worst case wrap up the issue using underhanded tricks.

-It’s definitely a thorny road, isn’t it?

-Yes. Don’t blame me later for not warning you.

Kijeong sighed from time to time and was worried for Leeha.

Although he was grateful for the concern from his cousin, Leeha was also disappointed.

-Right, thanks. And Kijeong.

-Hmm?

– I only seat in a wheelchair these days, so you must have forgotten.

-What?

Kijeong got nervous at the sudden change in Leeha’s voice.

When Leeha spoke so seriously like this, Kijeong realize what kind of images he showed him.

-I’m a soldier. I used to be a sniper.

-Y-yes. Right.

He tediously received basic military, war history, strategy, tactics, and squad-level combat training, including survival training as a non-commissioned officer.

Their level in Middle Earth was high, but were there any Rising Sun who will stand toe-to-toe with Leeha in battle?

-Watch me. I’ll show you.

Kijeong couldn’t even answer. He felt the intensity from Leeha’s voice.

“The creation of a guild……”

In order to escape immediately in case Tikal and his gang appeared, Leeha stood in an alley where the square could be seen and unfolded his map.

The moment he realized that it was really a ‘war’, all the knowledge he proudly told Kijeong was put into play.

“Okay.”

Leeha check the location on the map and ran straight away. His strategy would get exposed if he walked around with marking on him.

‘In other words, what I have to do now is to create a guild, declare war, and log out.’

He had to move as fast as possible. To prevent enemies from noticing his movements.

“I’m here to make a guild.”

In Middle Earth, a guild was a group of individuals who belong to a country and are managed and controlled.

Simply put, it’s a concept like a company. Registration was extremely businesslike.

“You just need to pay the membership fee, the name of the representative, and the name of the guild.”

The procedure was completed when the female employee seated at the window entered the information on a piece of paper handed out.

There wasn’t even a test.

‘I thought that some sassy-haired uncle would give me a quest or something like that. It’s like a government office.’

Leeha quickly filled up the information. The representative was of course himself.

‘Guild Promoter? Damn it, I’m making money with Middle Earth to fix myself. I can’t do it.’

Leeha talked nonsense while putting an X on the promoter.

Although his understanding was different, in the end, it was still correct.

There was no need to enter any personal information anyway. The guild master’s information

would automatically register with Middle Earth’s system.

There was only one problem, the guild name.

“If I want to piss Rising Sun off, something like Horolol Heltech or Tuiyoing would be good…… If I make the guild name like rice cake, they might get careless. However, I don’t like it very much.”

Still, Leeha wanted to avoid naming the first group he belonged to, or even the group he created by himself, in an odd way.

‘Rising Sun, Rising Sun……

뜨는 해(Rising Sun). Literally, the pattern of the Rising Sunrise. It was often used as a war crimes flag in Japan, and it was a painting that was particularly disturbing to East Asians.

Judging from the shape of the Rising Sun and the name of the guild master, it must be related to the guild mark of the Rising Sun guild.

‘Right, the Rising Sun is the Rising Sun. You mean the sun is rising, don’t you?’

How do I deal with a guild that was created with that in mind? There was one name that came into mind.

Leeha quickly wrote down the name on the piece of paper and submitted it.

“Are there any duplicate name-.”

“There’s none. It would cost 10 gold to create a guild.”

“Ahh……”

Sighs of joy and sorrow escaped from Leeha’s mouth at the same time.

Why was it so expensive? Instead of putting a particular limit on the level, they put a limit on the money instead.

Leeha grumbled and opened his wallet. After selling the Brass Golem’s shield, he didn’t have that much money.

‘50 gold for the scrolls and bombs, 10 gold for creating a guild……. Now, I only have 20 gold left.’

His military fund was only 20 gold. With only 1 soldier. The Rising Sun’s guild master would not even snort if he heard this.

However, Leeha was reasonable.

“Here it is. And I would like to declare war on a guild”

“The name of the opposing group.”

“Rising Sun.”

“Rising Sun?!”

Stop.

The eyes of the woman who received the document became round.

Seeing Leeha’s figure, she was taken aback for a while.

Because Rising Sun’s level was surprising for that NPC.

“I will check again. Is the name of the organization receiving the guild war declaration ‘Rising Sun’, where the guild master is Kyokujitsu?”

“Yes.”

Leeha nodded. If one knew the name of the guild, the name of the guild master would be shown anyway.

“Ah, I see. If so I will send the declaration of war. It will take effect in five days. Please sign.”

Five days in Middle Earth time. In other words, it would take effect in 24 hours in reality.

Leeha’s name was written in the document presented by the woman.

The guild war was so serious that he was asked for consent until the last minute.

Naturally, the surrounding users were likely to be noisy.

“Rising Sun?”

“Is that person declaring a guild war against Rising Sun?”

“Amazing……. Why? Didn’t he just create a guild?”

“Tsk tsk. it must have been quite a while. Another person is going to quit the game.”

Leeha left the office, leaving behind the people that took a quick glance at him.

‘Right, it is only natural to think that way. For now at least.’

Leeha opened his newly created guild window, checked the name and status of the guild, and logged out.

The guild battle would begin 24 hours from now.

In a building made of dark gray bricks. The walls of the hall, covered with huge bearskin carpets, were illuminated by a magician’s light magic, and delicious food dazzled on countless tables.

In the ballroom-like atmosphere, the gathered people laughed, chatted, and enjoyed their seats.

“Next is this week’s best FM(Field Manager)! Indeed, who is the team leader who succeeded in making the highest amount of sales this week?”

Dugudugudugu, drumbeats were prepared, improving the atmosphere.

People who were enjoying the food put their hands together like microphones and started shouting.

Whoaa–! Give it to our team! Meisook Team!

Who would be higher than us?! Tenia Team! Tenia Team!

“Yes-! EtrolTeam! You have obtained a special grade one-handed sword around level 95! The estimated price is a whopping 270 gold! Not only for this week but also close to the current month’s highest! Now, FM and the Etreul team, please come forward!”

Ah~ Sorry~!

That’s amazing! How to surpass 270 gold!

Etrol, you’re so cool! Etrol Team forever!!!

A user and his teammates while being dazzled by people’s cheers and admiration.

Thundering applause in the atmosphere gave them a feeling of validation.

“Thank you for your efforts.”

“I-It’s thanks to the branch manager.”

“You’re very humble……. I wish you all the best in the future.”

“Thank you!”

Etrol politely shook the hands of the director who presented the plaque, as if it were the hand of God.

They went back and the Director nodded, and the host raised his voice again.

“Okay, next! This week’s best FBA(Field Battle Agent)! Who is the victor in the fiercest battle this week?! If you win 5 FBAs, you will get a spot as an FM! The hero of that glory——?”

Drumming sounder again. How surprised would users be if they saw this place that was full of cheers, shouts, and laughter?

Just looking at the patterns engraved on their items and the image of the rising sun, would make them shiver.

[Rising Sun].

This place was part of the weekly award ceremony held by the Rising Sun guild.

It was a process to motivate and inspire members of the guild by measuring the number of items looted during the week and publicly rewarding them….

For the users who lost their items, it was just ridiculous, for Rising Sun guild members, it was the place where they gained their strength to live for the week.
