SSS-Class Ranker Return

Celestial Barrier Orb (1)

"user?"

It was the user who unexpectedly found Lokan. However, the look and style are strangely different from the Verdans I've seen before.

He may have just been a different user, but Lokan had an intuition that he was not a person on the American side.

[Cherry Chef][Lv 358]

"nice to see you. My name is Cheryshev, the master of the Red Square Guild in Russia.”

“Hmm, what’s going on here?”

Again, he was a Russian user.

He said that users from the US, China, and Russia have grown the most.

Lokan kept an indifferent look at his self-introduction.

This is because level 359 is a very ambiguous number.

Just as Verdan received the support of the Elyos, they could also be receiving the support of some being, and that level was at a level that could be achieved without difficulty if the guild supported it.

It doesn't matter either way, but more importantly, the purpose for which he came here.

“I heard he doesn't like to spin horses,” he said. Then I'll tell you right from the start. We want to be Rokhan’s partner.”

"partner?"

Are you suddenly a partner? It was a fairly predictable category, but it was also a bit surprising.

Isn't it a well-known fact that Lokan plays solo? But suddenly you're a partner?

Even the expression itself was vague. It's not that he's going to join their guild like Verdan, nor is he asking for a deal.

Perhaps realizing the question, Chery Chef added an explanation without hesitation.

"Yes. We have no intention of competing with Lokan-sama. I just hope you can help us take pictures of the Americans.”

“Hey.”

It was then that Rokhan made an expression that he knew.

Heaven is a place where users from all over the world gather. If so, wouldn't it be a competition between nations rather than competition between guilds?

Of course, it is not possible to unite all guilds with the word of national rivalry, but when necessary, it could not be ignored.

Once you've crushed other countries, you'll want to compete amongst themselves.

It was fully understandable and reasonable, but there was one question.

“So what can I get?”

Because being a partner is not a one-sided relationship that asks for help.

“I think you may not be in the castle, but I will tell you what we have prepared.”

Chef Cherry made steam for the first time. Exactly, I was so nervous that I swallowed my saliva.

And take out the paper. He soon started reading it.“First, it’s cash. If you help us, we will pay you 1 billion won.”

"10 billion? How much gold do you think I have?”

1 billion Korean Won. It's definitely big money.

However, it was also an amount that was not necessary for the current Rokan. Even if you sell the extra gold right now, that amount will be enough.

The value of gold went down, but as a new map appeared, the places to use it increased.

It was clear that the value of gold would go up for the time being, and it is clear that it will be difficult to obtain even if you try to save it.

Knowing that, they must have presented cash rather than gold or coins.

“Of course, this is not the end. I will pay an additional 2 billion won after I have definitely trampled on the Americans.”

30 billion won in total. This was an amount that even Lokan could not ignore.

However, the amount was not enough to be deceived by the clever tactics contained in it.

“What is the standard for trampling on Americans? Are you making the game fold? Or is it hindering growth?”

“Kill them. If you kill Verdan and other American Guild Masters in heaven just ten times, we will take care of the rest. If you want, I can give you a payout for each kill.”

This is not bad enough.

These guys were already caught by Rokan himself, and it was thought that 3 billion would be enough business to kill only a few people ten times.

"and?"

But I had no intention of accepting this job just for that.

If they had an idea, they would avoid Rokhan and be buried deep in the heavens, but finding them and killing them is quite laborious, isn't it?

In the meantime, considering that their growth will also be slow, I thought that these guys might be checking themselves and the United States together.

“I’ll give you an item.”

"item?"

"Yes. Of course, there may be shortcomings for Lokan-sama to use, but there are quite a few good items that we have collected on our own. There are epic grades and there are legend grades. We will open all items and warehouses so that you can pick up 100 items and take them with you.”

eating.

Lokan laughed at that. It was not because of his joy, but because of his triviality.

Isn't it a lot of loopholes to open an item warehouse right away? It's a job where you can leave the main items aside and show only the right chaff.

“Is that Legendary weapon you have?”

Startle.

At Rokhan's point, Chery Chef trembled slightly.

I don't know how he knew it, but Lokan read the item information he was wearing.

“… … of course."

A pause of about 1 second. And the answer I got was surprising.

Hopefully, I'll give it to you. That's a legend-grade item.

Then the story is different.

I don't know how many items they've collected, but wouldn't it be difficult to collect Lokan with 100 epic and legendary equipment?

I don't know what the scope of 'we' they are talking about, but considering that it is a Russian guild union, it seemed that more than half of it could be taken as an epic level.

"great. If that's the case, accept it. However, it is only after receiving all the items that we can cooperate properly.”

As long as you only kill a few, this is enough. Hopefully, the Devil's Tooth Belt can grow to the next level, right?

However, after receiving the item to prevent them from doing their stupid tricks, I decided to carry out the contract.

"thank you. and… … .”

“What else?”

“Please allow us to work in Rokan-sama’s domain.”

“My area? Are you talking about this land?”

Rokan's eyes narrowed at the subsequent request.

Then yes. It was strange that they drastically lowered their power just to keep the United States in check.

"Yes. I want to use the hunting grounds attached to Lokan's estate. Of course, compensation for this will be paid separately.”

“It’s a reward… … .”

“30%. I will donate 30% of the loot I get from hunting every month.”

“Hey.”

I was wondering if I was using a swarm, but there was quite a bit of precipitation.

Giving 30% of the loot. Of course, you could try to deceive the items coming into your inventory, but it was enough to write the contract.

As specified in the contract, if you do not follow it, your account will be blown away.

“Of course, if this territory is attacked, we will help the defense as well.”

When Lokan showed interest, Cheryshev placed one more condition.

cooperative defense.

I don't know where he picked it up, but it was a condition of understanding Rokan's situation well, not knowing when he might be invaded by other intermediate or advanced demons.

But it's not very appealing. It is true that the combat power of a user is higher than that of a soldier at the same level, but at best, it is no different from being a high-master.

If there are users outside of the standard like Lokan, the story will be a little different, but is that true? Russia is a big country, so there will be a few people like that, but it was difficult to think of it as having enough power to face the Grand Master level one-on-one.

So he placed one more condition.

"great. But let me add one more thing.”

"which… … .”

“Come under me.”

“Under… … mean?”

Chery Chef's eyes trembled. It is difficult to understand what Lokan meant.“Nothing to be nervous about. If you want to be active in this territory, shouldn't you be a member of this territory? Coming in as my soldier. Of course, in the future, if you want, I will allow you to transfer without penalty.”

It wasn't bad for them either. If you are registered as a soldier of Lokan, you will receive benefits from using the territory.

The most common was a store discount, and it was possible to register souls at no cost.

And one thing. The reason Lokan dared to present this condition was hidden.

A part of the experience points earned by soldiers when they hunt monsters is passed on to Lokan.

The story that you can call experience points even if you stand still.

Of course, for Lokan who reached level 400, it would be just a dusty experience, but if it was the entire Russian Guild Union, there was a high probability that it would be a pretty good experience.

“… … great."

Chery Chef, who had time to hesitate for a while to see if he could negotiate with the other guilds, soon accepted the terms.

I thought there must be some hidden reason, but under those conditions, it's not bad for them either.

Soon they adjusted the details and signed a contract.

“Receive your money in your Bitcoin wallet.”

“Oh, yes.”

Lokan demanded his down payment of 1 billion in bitcoins. This is because in order to receive cash or gold bars, you have to reveal yourself.

On the other hand, if you receive it in Bitcoin, its value may fall due to price fluctuations, but it has the advantage that you cannot reveal yourself if you create a personal wallet and receive only the secret key.

Because the price has already dropped enough to fall anyway, and even if it was cut in half, it was a lot of money.

Since there are so many things to do, big things can happen if you reveal yourself, so hiding yourself was more important than anything else.

“When would you like to see the item?”

After signing his contract, Cherychef immediately put a hand around his waist and dragged his weapon.

As a promise and a token of his trust, he presented his own.

“As soon as it is ready.”

At this point when the partnership was signed, he might be reluctant, but Lokan did not dare to do so. Is there no reason to refuse to give?

He picked up Cherry Chef's sword and prepared himself to receive the rest of the items.

The move to hit the American users is after getting all the items.

Because of that, it was on their side that was impatient. The contract will only go into effect after Lokan collects all the items.

It also meant that they were not yet able to operate in Lokan's estate.

“Then I’ll make up the list and see you the day after tomorrow.”

With those words, Chery Chef and his companions disappeared.

As soon as they disappeared, Rokan also started preparing on his own.

He commissioned an information merchant to check the location and status of American users, while starting a background investigation of Russian users, including Chef Cherry.

Anyway, if you search the internet for a while, you can find out where the Russian guild that has advanced to heaven is, so it didn't take long to put in the quest.

And finally, the collection of materials to open the void door began.
