NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Chapter 131: Dungeon Steal

He knew he could rival that Panty and the one standing behind him in the shadows with his wealth; yet he didn't even consider that!

"These money are investments, I can't just simply throw them away like this! I must spend them on nourishing players, not to reward them in a needless foolish quarrel!"

His mind was much mature than the rest of his enemies. So, he walked past everyone, without the fear or worry of these eyes glaring at him.

"Any news for me?" he sent this to his spy in Panty's team.

"Panty has his eyes on me, sigh," and the next moment she sent back these words, which made Bloom laugh. "You have such irresistible beauty, you know."

"Master, I only belong to you," she sent, and it seemed being away from him gave her some courage to speak like this.

"Sure, I won't allow anyone to touch you except for me," he sent with such honesty. She was one of his girls, and he would never let anyone touch them.

They were all his!

"Anything aside that?" he asked, as he wanted to confirm his enemy wasn't scheming anything in secret.

"Aside from the challenge you got, he isn't focusing on anything else! He sat his gaze upon that point. And ah, he spoke of some weird incident today, a quest he said. But he seemed quite discrete about it."

Bloom was almost on the gates when he paused. "What quest?" he asked with shining eyes.

"Don't know, he only said a few words about it."

"Like what?" he said, before urging, "tell me everything he spilled out."

"Alright," she paused before sending, "he said he met a great opportunity. Something was needed from him first before he would seize this chance. And when his butlers asked about this, he only said it was some sort of a quest, yet not confirmed until he did something."

Her words were vague and unorganized, yet Bloom's heart told him it was it! "Finally, you bastard!" he clenched his fists before calming himself. "Try to sniff for more," he sent her before passing outside the village.

"Alright boss."

"I need to plan this right," he muttered, as he was now in a much more complicated situation than what he had with Derick. "This must be done properly," he then sent to her, "start scanning his team, his core team, his main team, and any of his allies as well."

"Are we going to war?" she asked.

"Soon," he vaguely answered, "just don't miss anything. Also what happened with those mercenaries?" he suddenly recalled the ones he killed before logging off the game.

"He said his boss would deal with it," she replied, "yet he didn't say anything more."

"Keep your eyes open and inform me of any news."

"Sure."

As he walked past the village gates, he sensed many eyes following him. He was now a celebrity, someone who was looked and eyed for.

Yet he wasn't that worried!

All these hours outside the game let all his skills be available once more. if any stupid ones tried to attack him, he wouldn't be this kind either.

But no one was that foolish! Everyone saw his battle videos over and over again. None had the confidence to kill him in one vs one situation.

Yet ruining any dungeon for him wasn't that hard either.

"This game stupid rule, tsk," he shook his head recalling the stupid village and towns dungeon rules.

Dungeons should be a secretive place, that was the case in the welcoming zone. Yet once stepping into the village and higher areas, this rule changed.

The game considered players to be mature, and encouraged them to attack each other. No fun without a gun, that was the term the developers used to reply over the endless complaints about this particular rule.

The steal dungeon rule!

Any game had a steal kill rule, as anyone could steal the kill from any team if he had the ability to do it. Yet no game had such a rule in dungeons except this one!

The rule wasn't important in the past, he knew that, except after the passage of a whole year when guilds started to show up.

Then guild wars erupted, and violent bloodbaths dominated the game.

"Will the dungeon wars start earlier than before?" he muttered, recalling the gossips he heard from his first game lousy developers; laughing at the stupidity of the Eternal Glory developers and their stubbornness.

They thought this uprise would be enough to bring the game down, not knowing it did the opposite! Players loved challenges, that was the mere dominant fact in any game community.

Give them more hurdles to cross, and they would gladly comply!

"Tsk, I hope they didn't know yet about this rule," he shook his head while moving towards the tree line.

For a team to steal dungeons from others, they had to play according to prediction. The steal came when the first team entered the dungeon and cleared all the rooms inside except the last one.

That was the moment of stealing!

And that was why a job was invented back then in his previous life; the alarmer!

A player in the team that did nothing else but to stand on guard outside the dungeon and alarm others on any incomings!

"Sigh, I need to find an alarmer then, and a leveler.

His current level was thirteen, higher than the mainstream of players by two to three levels. He planned to hit level fifteen before going after Panty. So, a leveler was a must, not only in dungeons but also in hunting normal monsters.

"My clones are good, yet their levels are just like mine. That won't work on the current situation," he muttered to himself.

He wasn't much interested like Nara in that challenge or record. He was pretty sure he would break many things in this game history. Yet he couldn't overlook the greed of other players.

He had to suspect the interruption of many during his next fights, a thing he needed to adapt to; not only him but also his team as well.

"Despite lowering the level of the monsters would affect me, I can't risk dying once right now."

He didn't know when Panty intended to move out. This snake seemed quite cautious. "Was I the reason?" he muttered, as he was the one who stole Derick's quest and he was now panty's greatest enemy.

In his opinion, Panty wouldn't reveal the time of doing his quest unless at the last moment. "Only his butlers would know," he recalled those strong ones, and then felt some headache already.

"Should I recall Luna back?" he thought, "or should I start leveling up the other girls?" he considered this, as his team wasn't an option on the table.

His identity as Sunny must be kept hidden from them! "I have two lives, so I must adapt and create two teams," he said to himself, as this was the only way he could use to handle things here.

"Antoan," his eyes shone when he recalled his butler, "as they are using their butlers, then I should use mine, right? Seems quite fair indeed," yet he knew this option wasn't valid in this operation.

Antoan still refused the game, thinking it was a child play. Bloom wasn't that worried, he was quite positive if Antoan was given enough time, he would be addicted to here.

Especially when his master was someone playing in the dark world of the game!

"So all I have is those pretty dolls," he shook his head, as this option needed more preparations of him.

He needed to level them up! Despite the fact of their monstrous growth, he knew how hard to separate from Nara and her team, or the keen aggressive eyes of those following him.

"I need somewhere no one can easily go to," he spotted the tree line from far, and the more he came closer to it the more players he met on the way.

"Dungeons aren't safe anymore," he started counting out his options, "and going deeply in the wilderness won't help either," he added before suddenly a thought flashed in his mind.

"Yet, that place" he was hesitant. There were many secrets hidden in this game, one of them was a place that was considered a treasure trove for all players.

A place of the fallen mine!

It was really a mine, yet as the owners died long ago according to the game scenario, the place was dominated by monsters.

Yet these monsters were special! They lived and grew up on rich ores, making each kill give out many ores and coins.

The fall rate of weapons was also greatly enhanced there, yet the higher gears one could find was golden grade.

"Going there is only viable through portals, and each portal would be dominated by a player or guild until others claimed it in a fight," he recalled the memories of these portals, "yet the loss of communication problem is really a headache!

The fallen mines were such a vast place that even if he left one of his girls out to keep in touch with Muna, she wouldn't be able to easily find him inside.

"That means only one option," he realized the sooner he moved there the better. Staying there for a long time would prove to be risky, especially entering was easy, exiting required him to finish the first task at least.

A task that would normally take a day to finish!

"I had to find an excuse to get separated from Nara," he decided, and as he reached the tree line, he sent her a brief message. "Where are you?"
