NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Chapter 132: Red Nara and Team

"Inside the wilderness," she sent before adding, "doing something there and then will come to you at the tree line."

Bloom felt something was off, yet he wanted to get some time alone later. "Alright, waiting for you," he sent and the next message of Nara made him quite sure something bad was going on.

"Please don't leave the tree line until I come back," she then sensed as she said too much, "just to not get lost with each other."

"Lost that's a lame excuse," he muttered before sending a thumb up emoji and then went to the tree line. "She must be dealing with many threats," he shook his head before adding, "I just have to prepare for more battles," he glanced back at the many eyes watching him.

They were trying to cover up their presence, yet they failed. "Amateurs," he returned to glance at the wilderness while the plan in his mind was starting to take shape.

"I need to sell more of the gears I had," he checked his inventory and found fifty of various gears with different grades and levels. "The problem is that I might need them in my Pandora's box."

And this was his issue right now. "If Panty intended to use only a handful of his people, then it would be nice. But" he knew this option wasn't that reliable.

After all if he was in Panty's shoes, he would have summoned all those he could use and hire to guard him.

"But he might be afraid of someone leaking the news to me."

It was a bet, over the secrecy or the security; and he couldn't make a choice about the two of them. "What is his personality?" he asked himself, feeling slightly lacking in information. "Should I ask Muna?" he thought before dropping this approach.

After all, Muna was still new to the team of Panty and she couldn't provide deep intel. Unlike his butler!

"I should start using Antoan more," he said and at this moment he heard a ruckus coming from the distance.

"Are they crazy?" in front of him he noticed a group of players trying to mimic his approach from the last battle. Some went ahead to summon monsters and tried to group them in one place.

"Idiots, sigh!" he shook his head, as the next logical conclusion was for them to lose their lives!

"Gathering the monsters is easy, yet taking rid off the agro is the main problem," he said to himself before watching the tem of fifty players being wiped out, simply like that.

What he didn't know was this occasion kept happening in the wilderness. It wasn't limited to his village, as endless numbers of players tried to mimic the process; yet all failed!

Some tried to prove he was nothing at all to be worshipped for, while others tried to learn and get stronger from pros like him. Some looked at it as a chance to prove themselves as well, being the second, third, or the first hundred one to copy Bloom's tactic.

But none expected such a result! And this didn't demote them, instead it fired their souls up and much more players started joining the fun.

Even some started topics analyzing the videos of Bloom thoroughly and offering paid services for exposing what they called, Bloom's secrets!

He waited for a whole hour before finally Nara sent him a message. "We are almost at your place," she said and he was surprised about one thing.

"I didn't give her my location," this was a fact. He glanced back at those observing eyes while muttering: "The forums or spies in other groups?" he didn't know the answer.

While he stood there, he noticed her approach from the direction of the wilderness. Her head showed a thing that attracted his attention at the moment; she was red!

And not only her, the other fifty members of the team were also red!

"What the hell?" Bloom muttered, "have they started the party without me?" he laughed before using the chaos the lousy team did nearby and moved unhindered towards Nara and the team.

"I left you for a couple of hours to come and find you all red!" The first thing he did was to comment on their red status, while glancing at Nara and Jeffrey; they both held the brightest color among all.

"It's a long story," Jefffrey said in a tone that didn't suit him.

"Make it short then," Bloom smiled before adding, "or say the whole version, I love hearing stories."

"Well" as he guessed, Jeffrey was told what to say by Nara. Bloom totally neglected Jeffrey while glancing over Nara. "What happened?" he simply asked.

"Nothing," and she shrugged.

"All this red and nothing?" he insisted.

"Just clearing some bad herbs here and there," she didn't tell him.

"Spies like these," he pointed back towards those standing on the tree line, acting like they were thinking how to join. Their number was large, around five hundred players stood there.

"Well, you can consider them that," she replied before trying to end this topic, "we have killed them all and now we are free to go and level up in dungeons."

He glanced at her for a moment there before saying, "your secrets your choice."

He turned towards everyone, who acted like they were enjoying sightseeing in the middle of this wilderness. "Sigh, even everyone?!" he glanced at her while remarking in a helpless tone.

"It's not me," she denied.

"Sigh, I'm not that obsessive person, you know," he said while saying to others, "party is over, now come and listen well to what I'm going to say."

Nara glanced weirdly to him; she thought he would ask them about what happened.

And so she gave the others a silent, warning glance while they just nodded.

"Sigh, I'm not going to ask about what happened," he turned to her as he said, "you will come and tell me everything on your own," he wasn't in the mood to press on her for more details right now.

If she didn't want to say, he would wait.

"I want to speak about the dungeons and monster raids from now on," he then added, "two professions must be sought; levelers and alarmer."

"What?" some exclaimed in surprise, while Jeffrey expressed his doubts louder and clearer:

"There are no such classes like these!"

"I said professions, not classes," Bloom calmly said, "these are just two kinds of players that we must add."

"Can't we let two of us do it then?" Nara seemed not encouraged to accept new players to her team.

"They can't," and Bloom decisively refused, "they can't do the leveler as their levels are higher than what we need, and they can't be the alarmer as they are strong and we need their strength inside, not outside."

The team exchanged glances in confusion and puzzlement. "Can you explain then what these two are?" Nara asked, while trying to get on a unified grounds with his strange demands.

"Leveler is someone with a much lower level than us, not exceeding five levels, and be part of the team," he said.

"For monsters?" Jeffrey suddenly understood his meaning.

"Sure."

"Why didn't I think about doing such a thing before?" and then Nara muttered to herself while sizing up Bloom again.

To her, he was just nobody, lucky to be known in the early stages of the game. Yet she knew he wouldn't be able to beat the others in the long run; she once firmly believed that.

Yet the more she dealt with him, the more she started to change this view. He wasn't that bad! Every now and then he would surprise her with something so simple yet she never noticed; like this leveler term he just said as if it was an established one.

"What about the alarmer?" she asked.

"It's for alarming us if someone was standing outside the dungeon, waiting for us," he didn't want to expose everything at once. 'Let this be a secret for a while, if it's still one,' he thought to himself.

"You mean to just add a random player to stand on guard outside the dungeon?" One of the team asked, in confusion. "What will be his rule? Only to alarm us from any ambush?" he added.

"We can just assume we have ambushes outside each dungeon!" another one joined in.

"An alarmer is a must," Nara suddenly said, standing beside Bloom while sending him a private message. 'The dungeon heist problem?' she asked.

'Oh, you know about it already!' Bloom was surprised, yet not to that degree. He now realized his enemies were familiar with this, and he should take the dungeons more seriously.

'It's not a well known fact. I paid a lot to get my hands on it, and now you are also aware of it who are you?' she seemed more shocked than him, and much doubtful.

'Bloom.'

'C'mon, your real world name!'

'Bloom!'

'Tsk, if you don't want to say it just be brave and refuse, not lie!'

'I'm still Bloom.'

'Lying is for kids!'

'It's still Bloom!'

'Tsk, forget it, you are hopeless!'
