MMORPG: Rebirth as an Alchemist

"Ren! Leonel!"

Hearing omeone call out to them, Ren and the other looked over their houlder and found Iolde running in their direction.

Leonel viibly traightened hi back and tuttered, "I-Iolde."

Evie tared at Iolde and marveled at her height. Becaue he wa mall, he couldn't help but tare at the other party with envy.

With Iolde' figure, he looked like a magazine model, and when he tood net to Leonel, Evie couldn't help but think they looked good together.

Feeling like he wa urrounded by three giant, Evie took a tep back. She felt o mall around them.

Ren canned Iolde from head to toe and found that he till had the ame equipment a before. Seeing Gun and Knive equipped with upgraded armor, he wondered if he wa really their core member.

"Why are you till wearing the ame equipment?" aked Ren, traight to the point. By thi time, they hould have upgraded their armor –– decent one that weren't bought in any cheap mithy tore.

However, Iolde till wore the armor he got from Gargantuan Cave. Although the [Spider Silk Suit] wa a great armor, Gun and Knive have already cleared other dungeon and defeated boe. Surely, that hould've been enough for them to get her a piece of better equipment.

"You're a core member, right?" Ren added.

"Oh." A red hue made way on Iolde' cheek, and thi didn't ecape Evie' harp, but lethargic gaze.

"It' fine. I don't really contribute to guild tuff, o I don't deerve the equipment. Beide, when I clear a dungeon with you guy, I can alway get one."

Leonel ighed. "I don't know why you even joined a guild when you pend mot of your time in the game playing with u."

Ren threw a idelong glance at Leonel. Idiot. It wa o he could be with you.

"Anyway, do you want to help u defeat the World Bo?" Iolde eagerly aked. "I'll peak to Xian and father about it. I'm ure the pay wouldn't leave you diappointed."

Leonel hrugged and grinned. "Sorry to burt your bubble, but we're going to defeat that bad boy Jibby."

Jut a minute ago, Leonel didn't even know how to react in front of Iolde, but the net moment, he wa back to hi uual elf. Thi would only happen every time he accidentally forget hi uppoed relationhip with Iolde. But the moment it unk into hi mind, he would return to being a tiff block of wood.

"Jibby?" Iolde giggled. "Well, it name i indeed complicated."

"You don't ound threatened by our proclamation," Ragnar aid to Iolde.

"Ah, I don't really care if we get the Bo," Iolde replied, not one bit curiou about Ragnar' jawbone mak. "I'll jut do my bet like alway. If we get firt blood, then nice, but if not, then... move on, I gue."

Ren tifled a laugh before aying, "I wih I had the ame no-care attitude a you."

Iolde directed her hining bright eye at Ren. "Too bad I can't help you thi time. But a oon a thi thing i over, you bet that you'll ee me in the HQ again."

At the ide, Evie wa baffled a to why Iolde bluhed whenever he laid her eye on Ren. She could even hear the girl' trained voice a if he had to catch her breath. In comparion, when he talked to Leonel, her epreion wa relaed, and her voice ounded deep.

Shouldn't Or wa he overanalyzing tuff? Evie uually didn't care about thi kind of thing. It wa jut... baffling. That' all.

"Anyway, we hould all head back," aid Ragnar. "That monter i coming upon u oon, and we don't want to be in it line of ight when it devour thi village."

"Right. Then ee you guy later! Don't worry. I'll help you with the World Bo too!" Iolde waved a he ran back to her guild.

"You hould probably help your guild firt," Leonel hollered back.

He then muttered while haking hi head, "That' why your guild doen't give you anything."

Ren' group went back to the afety area while the player did nothing but watch Jibblinplip engulf a whole village.

Some brave combatant NPC tried to top it, but it only took Jibblinplip' minion a hort time to clear them up, o their bo could moothly devour everything in the village.

[Jibblinplip gained +2 in all it ATP!]

[Jibblinplip need time to diget. It movement ha turned luggih!]

[Jibblinplip i full and pew another minion!]

"At thi rate, we're going to be overrun by thoe walking lime," Ragnar aid.

"If thi continue, the monter will be more unbeatable the more it eat," Evie commented.

"I that village gone forever?" Leonel aked.

Evie didn't loe out and added, "Are the quet gone a well?"

"No. The villager are afely evacuated, o the quet are till there," anwered Ren. "Soon, after Jibby i killed, they will jut rebuild the village from cratch. The village will probably be acceible for a few week or o until it finihe contruction. But it hould be back to normal after a month a if nothing happened."

"What about the NPC that died?" inquired Ragnar.

"Lucky, the majority of the quet come from non-combatant NPC. The one who engaged with the World Bo are the combatant type of NPC, o even if they are gone, it wouldn't affect the world or quet that much."

"I that o?" Ragnar tilted hi head. "How convenient."

Leonel pointed a finger over hi chin. "If that' how it i, then I don't ee any threat even if the World Bo in't killed. At mot, thi place will jut be overrun by jellie while Jibblinplip roam free to eat."

Ren chuckled in repone. "Don't be complacent. It' till a World Bo, after all. If it i left unchecked, it can eaily devour the human continent. Though that probably won't happen becaue the emperor will mobilize the Empire' army and kill all the ooze, leaving u nothing."

Ragnar croed hi hand. "So you're aying our real enemy i the Empire' battalion? I that it? It' the NPC in thi world?"

"That' right. It' a race againt who get to kill Jibby firt."

The four chatted ome more until they heard omeone peaking to them from behind. Becaue of the commotion around them, the voice they heard wa barely audible.

"Hey there." A hort boy with bead of grey hair miled weetly a he called Leonel. "Remember me?"

Leonel wa ilent for a while, recalling who the other party wa. He then macked hi hand againt hi palm. "Silvetre!"

"It' Sky!" Sky almot went out of hi kin. Why did Leonel keep on forgetting hi name? Wa he intentionally doing it?
