Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] Chapter 435

“That’s not it….”

“Or? I wonder who wouldn’t know that two people are secretly meeting as if on a date? Hehe, I don’t know if dating during such an important quest isn’t ‘promoting chaos’. Well, it seems like there are two people in that kind of relationship on the New Serpent. “Is that okay?”

Chiyo had originally guessed the relationship between Lee Ha and Shinnara.

Moreover, their close relationship was fully confirmed during this expedition.

In reality, Lee Ha and Shin Nara did not meet often, so there was no special evidence, but Chiyo was treating the uncertain relationship between Lee Ha and Nara as if it were a ‘confirmed fact’, mirroring the relationship between Ki-jeong and Bo-bae.

There would be very few people who could beat Chiyo in a stage where it was not a logical debate but a verbal battle of literal slander and slander.

Right now, Shinnara’s face was red and she was getting angry.

“Yeon- love?! What- what do you mean, that? “Have you finished speaking now, Mr. Chiyo?”

“Please stop it. Chiyo was just asking because Lee Ha was cool and she was curious about the item, but I think Shinnara overreacted this time.”

“Yongyong, as expected, you are the only one who understands me.”

Chiyo secretly hid behind Tamer Yongyong.

Perhaps it was an attitude aimed at stimulating their protective instincts, but in the eyes of Lee Ha-na and Shin Na-ra, it was not even worth half a penny, but Yong-yong, who had already been caught off guard, just smiled brightly.

“Nara, please stop.”

The imminent situation was calmed down only when Lee Ha stepped forward and took the side of the country. Even Xin Nara, who was fuming, was only then able to let go of his anger a little.

‘I heard it’s more noticeable if you take sides like that. Beyond a simple friendly relationship, it seems that Shin Na-ra is becoming Hi Ha’s ‘eyes’. Actually, it doesn’t matter because it’s an item and you can steal it whenever you get the chance. Confirming the relationship between the two was really important.’

It was Chiyo who looked hurt behind Yongyong, but of course it was an act.

If you decide to extract information in earnest, the most important thing is to distinguish friends from enemies.

Through this brief argument, Chiyo had once again decided who would take her side and who she should pay attention to.

“Unlucky.”

Ram Hwajeong quietly muttered, and the commotion of Leeha’s return came to an end. Alexander, who listened quietly to the story, ordered to sail again at full speed.

“Anyway, all we have to do now is keep going, right?”

“huh. “If Team B’s Hyein does well, the chance of success in the quest will be at least 80%.”

[Beyond the Sea of Dawn]

1. Construction of a mana relay tower on the Sea of Dawn

2. At least 1 out of 40 combatants arrive in the New World

3. Construction of a mana relay tower in the New World

Reward: ?? (Reward changes depending on number of goals achieved)

Failure conditions: If two or more goals are not achieved,

after Hye-in solves Condition 1, only Conditions 2 and 3 remain.

The common thought of all expedition members was that 3 might be difficult, but 2 would almost certainly be possible.

‘Because we have the strongest combination of Alexander and Bailippus. In other words, if you solve just 1, you can get over failure.’

Of course, no user went into the game with the mindset of just avoiding failure conditions.

Since you’ve made a perfect comeback up to this point, there’s no way you won’t want to succeed in all three quests.

“So, you haven’t heard from Hyein?”

“I spoke to him about five or six hours ago and he said things were going smoothly. Now – there are about 6 hours left.”

Kijeong checked the time and nodded. Upon hearing that news, Lee Ha completely relaxed.

Since entering the waters of the Dragon Palace, I haven’t been able to rest except for a short nap. The most urgent thing was, of course, a good night’s sleep.

“Okay, okay. Then I’ll have to go out and take a nap. “Is that okay?”

“Yes, Eong-ah is restless, so who can stop him? Among us, he was the one who had the most trouble sleeping. “Get a good night’s sleep for a day or two.”

“hey! Two days in Middle Earth is 10 hours. “Don’t you have to give me 24 hours of free time?”

“No no. “I’ll just give you two days in Middle Earth.”

When Ki-jeong shook his head in an exaggerated manner, Lee Ha also chuckled.

“okay. Then, let’s start over cleanly in two days. “Return the rotation to its original state.”

Below, he greeted the users and prepared to log out.

As Leeha was preparing to log out, Hyein was looking out into the distant sea from the ‘buoy’, an immovable island in the center of the Dragon Palace’s waters.

“Phew….”

It has been 23 days and 22 hours since entering the waters of Yonggung.

94 hours had passed since Hyein’s B team started work, and there were just 6 hours left until Hyein’s time limit.

Normally, the Mana Relay Tower should have been completed in about two hours, but Hyein’s expression was dark.

“…I’m sorry. Still, this one thing is definitely…”

Hyein raised her head and saw the Mana Relay Tower on the central peak of the buoy. The completion rate of the Mana Relay Tower was only about 75%.

As a sage, he was unable to speed up the detailed construction work even though he carried the materials himself, performed the laborer’s duties, and even assisted with his skills.

He had to be prepared.

***

“Lee Ha, will you go out with me?”

“yes? “What do you mean by that?”

Lee Ha nodded and took a step back.

Acceptance or rejection? It felt like my head and body were playing separately. No, maybe it’s a joke?

Even though Lee Ha looked at her intently, there was no change in Shin Nara’s expression.

“So you’re saying that Mr. Lee Ha didn’t have any feelings for me? Are you playing with people’s hearts?”

“No, no, no. Is that possible? It was just so sudden-”

“What? “You want to date that bitch, now?”

“Wow! Ram Hwayeon?”

Grumble!

Flames bloomed from Ram Hwayeon’s fingertips.

Looking at her outspoken casting, Lee Ha felt embarrassed and doubtful at the same time.

“Why are you here-”

“You will have to pay for daring to mess with the daughters of the Lamlong Group?!”

“Bad brother. < blizzard >.”

“-what? Even Mrs. Ram Hwa-jeong-”

Hwiiiiing────────────!

Skill casting was fast. Lee Ha covered his face with both hands as he looked at the blowing snowstorm.

“Awww! Ahhh… Haa, ah….”

The cold wind once caressed Leeha’s face as he lay on the bed.

My pupils dilated and my eyes opened, but even though I knew I had woken up from a dream, the tension did not go away easily.

“What a cold wind—damn…”

Now I remembered that I had left the window open for a moment to ventilate and fell asleep.

Although I felt chilly, I was so nervous that cold sweat was running down my cheeks.

“Hey, what… there was something strange ever since Ram Hwayeon came out.”

I wonder if I’m going crazy after all these crazy dreams. Does this mean that I was playing in Middle Earth without being able to rest properly?

This was my first time experiencing something like this, even in a dream, so I was embarrassed.

‘No, being run over in Middle Earth is just being run over, so why is this happening…’

Lee Ha shook his head to shake off any distracting thoughts and looked at his watch. Only six hours had passed, but I couldn’t sleep anymore.

In the end, Lee Ha groaned and shifted to a wheelchair, deciding to completely lose any remaining sleepiness.

“Do I have that kind of image of ‘hard work’ in my subconscious? “I definitely think that situation would be more difficult than fighting Bluebeard.”

It has now become routine to check the official website and community trends before accessing Middle Earth.

There was a number that was unfamiliar to him.

‘Received 1 email…? All spam would have been blocked. Where else-‘

The new email I clicked to block again was not spam. The word ‘precognitive dream’ suddenly came to mind.

“The sender is Ram Hwayeon? what is this? “How did you know my email address…”

The timing was such that I wondered if this was what Ram Hwayeon meant in my dream.

Below, I clicked on the email sent by Ram Hwayeon, titled e-ticket.

[I’m listening to Hwajeong’s story. Are you busy these days? It is said that the voyage to the New World will be completed within 80 days, based on Middle Earth, at best. Since it is the 16th in real time, I took it easy and set it as 30 days later. Since it is a private plane, you can adjust it for a day or two, but if possible, come accordingly. The guardian has entered Master K, but if you would like to add another person, please contact the contact information below 3 days in advance. Up to 5 people are allowed, but there is no need to be noisy. Then, let’s meet in Hong Kong.]

“What do you mean?”

Even though I read it all, the content didn’t really make sense to me. Below, I started reading it again from the beginning.

No, just by looking at the file attached to the main text, a vaguely ominous feeling was already ignited.

A date already designated as a specific date, departure: ICN / arrival: HKG, the words ‘private plane’ and ‘see you in Hong Kong’ in the text….

“Is this a plane ticket?”

There was no way that Ram Hwayeon and Lam Rong, who had even found out the email address, would have missed the following English names or dates of birth.

Moreover, since they are guarantors through a private plane, there is no need for detailed passport information like for regular airline tickets!

“How do I know Ki-jeong’s date of birth when I am so clueless? “Are you crazy, really?”

The following was so absurd that I was shocked.

Did they use something like a Korean intelligence agency? At least, if the Lamlong Group was trying to find out something, it would not be easy to avoid their gaze.

‘Anyway, who’s making a fuss about arbitrarily planning a trip to Hong Kong!? Did you force me like this because I was worried that you wouldn’t come if I just told you to come… Huh, really…’ I

didn’t feel bad, but I couldn’t help feeling absurd and embarrassed.

Why bother doing this when we can just say let’s see? No, if we’re just going to meet and talk about Middle Earth like last time, we can just watch it within Middle Earth.

“…It’s not like the usual Ram Hwayeon.”

Ram Hwayeon’s behavior is more aggressive than usual.

And there are no words. why? What are you hiding? Only then did Leeha’s embarrassment disappear.

‘Yeah, it’s weird. It’s definitely strange.’

I read the email again with a cool head. There is nothing special about it. Except one word.

“Not as a companion, not as a friend, but as a ‘guardian’… Guardian? What are you protecting? Ram Hwayeon would not be stupid enough to use the word ‘protector’ in real life even though Ki-jeong is a tank.”

But there were no further hints.

Don’t change your schedule if possible? Is it telling me not to change my itinerary because it’s a flight, or is there something else going on?

Does this mean that even if it is a private plane, the departure schedule cannot be changed due to the airport schedule?

There were a few questionable words, but it was difficult to figure out the reason with the information I had.

‘Apart from this, up to 5 people can accompany you… Here again, it says companions.’

Lee Ha, who stared at the monitor screen for a long time, eventually shook his head.

Because I now knew that analyzing Ram Hwayeon’s actions like this was meaningless.

‘Whatever, why don’t you go in and ask. Tsk. But what’s really going on?’

Lee Ha moved the wheelchair to the Middle Earth connector.

In reality, it was still night, but once you entered Middle Earth, the bright sun and sea would be waiting for you.

‘I shouldn’t make a habit of going this early. Everyone will think that they will be thankful to me if they suffer as much as I did in the waters of the Dragon Palace. log in!’

Even with that in mind, Lee Ha was hoping that users would welcome him.

I somehow laughed as I remembered the friendly atmosphere between users on both ships right before logging out.

Shwaaaaagh!

However, what I saw in front of Lee Ha, who greeted me upon logging in, was by no means a pleasant situation.

“I came a little early because I was worried you might have a hard time-”

“So! Who doesn’t know that?!”

“I know, but are you asking me to keep going?”

“The food situation is bad! We haven’t even left the waters of the Dragon Palace yet! “Even if I somehow manage to get out of here, I don’t know where I’ll lose time again!”

The members of the New World expedition team raising their voices in confusion caught the eyes of Leeha.

“Yes, you said it well! It’s necessary for a reason! “How can I go without Hyein?”

In the six hours since Leeha logged out, a little more than a day had already passed in Middle Earth.

In other words, it was the 25th day since entering the waters of the Dragon Palace.

Hyein did not return. The Mana Relay Tower was not even completed yet.

It was the 68th day since we left Kraven’s port.
