Chapter 38: 38, Snow Leopard_l
Translator: 549690339
The Level 9 Monster Zone is located in the Lategale Woods northwest of the village. It is the territory of the raccoons.
[Pet Raccoon IV9]
Health Points: 120
Inside the Lategale Woods, the small raccoons, with their grey and white fur, would frolic about, running and jumping.
Their fur was shiny and sleek, and they were all chubby with fluffy long tails, they looked so cute!
But Su Yu remembered that it was because the raccoons were so cute in his previous life, soon after the game started, it caused a lot of controversy among the players.
Many players complained on the official forum that the raccoons were too cute to kill. Some who had the heart to do so were disdained by female players nearby, and they were all asking the game official to change the monster.
Later, the Game Supervisors from the Singer Civilization listened to the players’ opinions.
After a big update two months later, all the raccoons were replaced with mummies wrapped in white cloth.
The map of Lategale Woods was also updated to a large cemetery where you would run into wandering ghosts. It was really scary!
In Su Yu’s previous life, when he entered the game, the Level 9 Monster Zone had already become a big cemetery, filled with haunting ghosts that were intimate with players.
Today, he felt honored to see the deleted “raccoons”.
“The cute raccoons were a nice touch, but this mortal realm style suits me, unlike those mummy and cemeteries which felt too otherworldly.”
Su Yu hardened his heart, becoming a “Raccoon Slayer”, and started to level up in the Level 9 Monster Zone.
After all, there were no other players around him, so he didn’t have to worry about the disapproval of others.
Levelling up was usually boring.
While Su Yu was mechanically casting spells, using scrolls, and drinking mana potion, he was browsing the official forum built into the game.
He checked if the online netizens had any new trends or came up with any new memes.
A new meme called “Indonesia Telecom” was popular recently. Plus, the sound of the ‘ding’ in the “Indonesia Telecom” climax part was exactly the same as the ‘ding’ in the system prompts in “Evolution”!
So the netizens started to make parody videos, incorporating P, the external manager of the game “Evolution”, in the videos with the caption “Evolution RMB 30000”.
Just as Su Yu was engrossed in the videos, a strange noise suddenly came from the game.
He closed the forum window and identified that the noise in the game came from a server-wide announcement:
[Server-wide Announcement: The players Snow Leopard, Range is Truth, Caliber is Justice, Unbreakable Alliance, and Stream of Steel had successfully cleared the 5-player dungeon ‘Thunder Cliff’, awarded a random rare-quality equipment…]
This time the server-wide announcement was different from Su Yu’s announcement.
Su Yu’s announcement was repeated three times, but this announcement ended after one time.
After the announcement was over, it’s time for Snow Leopard’s advertisement.
A deep and powerful male voice came into Su Yu’s ears:
“Hello everyone, I’m the guild leader of the ‘Concerned Department’ – Snow Leopard.”
“Join our guild after level 10, you can receive a subsidy of 2000 Flower Coins every month. The guild does not enforce missions, we will not force you to participate in any activities, and no obligation to contribute equipment or currency, that’s all.”
Snow Leopard’s advertisement was short and powerful.
His team had discussed repeatedly to finalize this version of the advertisement.
This advertisement was very crude.
But these crude advertisements that could touch the vital interests of the masses were the ones that could get a wide spread.
If they were to boast like “Our goal is to dominate the server” or “We invite people from all walks of life to join us in building the strongest guild in the game.”
The players would probably just reply “Alright, pretty spirited,” then forget about it.
But when it came to “2000 Flower Coins”, many people’s eyes lit up.
After Snow Leopard’s advertisement was aired, players started discussing with their companions:
“Another group has cleared the 5-player dungeon!”
“Concerned Department? weird name.”
“They give out 2000 every month! Doesn’t that mean you can earn back the cost of the helmet in just over a year?”
“I don’t have a guild at the moment, so I might give it a go.”
“We should go together!”
Although most of these players could afford a 30,000 Flower Coin helmet, no one would turn down this extra 2000 per month. Many people became interested in the “Concerned Department” guild.
At the same time, a thoughtful look appeared on Su Yu’s face.
“Concerned Department? Has Snow Leopard started making headway so early?”
Snow Leopard, whose real name is Zhong Feng, is a Major General and a rare Druid class player.
The Country had taken notice of the unusual aspects of the game “Evolution” before the cataclysm and had asked Snow Leopard to form the “Concerned
Department” and investigate in the game.
Snow Leopard had a keen sense for the game’s storyline.
With his rich detective experience and the help of his expert team, he completed two main storyline quests in succession, becoming the first player in the country to level up to 50.
He was also the first Blue Star human to realize that in-game power could be manifested.
(Only legendary bloodline characters could manifest their in-game power in advance, while there were no legendary bloodline characters worldwide at the time.)
The rest of the story is well-known.
When Snow Leopard realized his power, the Country prioritized him significantly.
He was already strong, and with the concerted resources of the Country, he eventually became one of the top human power players of the previous era and a pillar against the Skuru race.
“Snow Leopard…” Su Yu muttered to himself: “I should try to get in touch with him if there is a chance.’
While Su Yu was reminiscing about Snow Leopard’s past,
In the [Thunder Cliff] dungeon, Snow Leopard and his team were also discussing him.
On top of Thunder Cliff.
Range is Truth was waving a bow, boasting happily, “Look! This was given by the First Time Clearance reward! A Level 5 rare-quality bow! Its attack power is as high as 20!”
“Alright, Mr. Zhang.” Unbreakable Alliance said with both tears and laughter, “You’re someone who has flown a J-50 fighter, why are you so excited about a broken bow.”
“What do you know?” Range is Truth pushed the bow to his face, “Take a closer look, this is a rare-quality equipment! Maybe even Nemesis doesn’t have a rare-quality equipment! ”
Snow Leopard stood still on the side.
He stared at the body of the boss [Cain Bloodhoof] on the ground, lost in thought, “What do you think, we completed this dungeon after 8 wipes, how did Nemesis complete ‘Green Grassland’ on his own? It’s not any easier than this one.”
“This…”
The teammates around him fell silent.
The smile on Range is Truth’s face gradually faded.
Although he got a rare-quality weapon now, even the current him could never solo a dungeon.
He wouldn’t even be able to solo fight the first or second boss.
How did Nemesis do it?
“No way! I must ask Lolo to contact Nemesis again, we have to find out the content of the Level 50 reward.”
Snow Leopard made his decision and opened the private chat interface..
