ALL NOVEL Chapter 535
Our Miro Mercenary Group has hired our monumental first mercenary.
[You can call me Jangbi!]
This guy was so committed to his concept that he told us to call him Jangbi.
Just like me, this guy is no pushover either.
“Got it, little bro.”
[Ah, yes…! Call me whatever you’re comfortable with.]
– This is really not easy lol
– Look at these concept freaks meeting each other
– Little bro, you’re wild
– Hey, you’re a viewer, right? lol
“A viewer? Do you watch broadcasts or something?”
[Huh? What’s that?]
“See? You don’t know.”
– LMAOOOO
– This dude is seriously crazy;;
– I’m dying lol
– So how old are you?
Ah, right.
I should ask for some personal details.
I was distracted by Jangbi’s costume.
“How old are you?”
[Ah, I’m thirty…]
“…Thirty?”
[No, no, I just turned twenty.]
“Ah, is that so?”
– LMAOOOO
– No, damn, he’s older than you, Miro
– LOL
– Thirty is a bit much…
…Thirty?
I had a rough guess from his voice, but he’s definitely a bit older.
It’s not easy for me to speak casually to someone older, but for the sake of content, I have no choice.
Guan Yu can’t be formal with Jangbi.
“Where are you hunting now, little bro?”
[Ah, I just need to take down the Goblin King!]
“Oh? That’s fast! When did you join the server?”
[I joined right on the first day the mercenary system opened!]
– Oh lol
– “Where are you hunting” is wild;;
– Isn’t this Eliton?
– This dude is legit;;
– If Miro hadn’t hired him, I would’ve been so disappointed lol
Surprisingly, our little bro joined the server almost as part of the vanguard.
This guy is seriously talented.
I knew he was serious since he even prepared his concept.
“Is your weapon a spear?”
[Huh? This is just a secondary hunting weapon. I’m actually a tank…]
But when I asked about his weapon, he put away the spear and pulled out a shield.
…Wait, was that part of the concept too?
– LMAOOOO
– This guy is seriously likable
– Oh, were you a noble?
– Miro, isn’t he your senior?
“Why did you go with a tank?”
[Ah, little bro should handle the dirty work!]
“Hoh.”
I think I made a good hire.
His preparation is impeccable.
“This won’t do, take all of this.”
So I handed over some rare items I had farmed and was planning to sell.
[Oh my, these are…]
“And follow me, I’ll give you a ride to the Goblin King.”
[Oh, really?]
“Hurry up and come to the Orc Hunting Ground.”
– LOL
– You’re even giving him a boost?
– He must really like him
– Weren’t you saving those to sell? lol
“It’s all an investment.”
He’s a noble tank mercenary.
It would be a shame not to invest this much.
And so, with our new mercenary little bro, we headed to the Goblin King’s Hunting Ground.
Speaking of the Goblin King…
Honestly, soloing it would be tough, but with little bro as a tank, it should be manageable.
“There are a lot of mercenaries here.”
The Goblin Hunting Ground was mostly filled with mercenaries since most members had already graduated.
But there were still some members boosting mercenaries here and there.
And then…
[Wow, there’s Miro-senpai…]
[Is that a mercenary behind her? No, she looks just like a senpai…]
Since both me and little bro had eye-catching outfits, all sorts of gazes were drawn to us.
– This is so embarrassing
– That senpai is older and cosplaying…
– I want to crawl into a hole lol
“Why are you all so shy?”
But I stand tall.
Isn’t it fun to enjoy the game with a concept like this?
“Are you embarrassed, little bro?”
[Not at all! I’m actually proud of these gazes!]
“See? We’re just having fun.”
– LOL
– Birds of a feather lol
– This is so cringe
Anyway.
As we walked through the hunting ground, we spotted the Goblin King.
“No one’s taken it down yet.”
[It wasn’t here earlier, so it must’ve just respawned.]
“Ah, I see.”
Hmm, the Goblin King does get taken down regularly.
Well, with a few members teaming up, it should be easy to take down.
“Let’s give it a shot.”
[Yes, understood.]
I drew my spear in front of the Goblin King.
Then, little bro pulled out a massive shield from beside me.
Being a muscular macho character, the shield suited him perfectly.
– He’s really reliable lol
– Having a tank is seriously great
Anyway, like that.
We started the Goblin King hunting raid…
Thud!!
[I blocked it!!]
Bang!! Thud!
[I blocked it all, big bro!]
…Our newly hired little bro is even more capable than I thought.
– Why is he so good? lol
– He’s seriously carrying lol
– Did we really hit the jackpot with this hire?
“…Yeah.”
Why is he so good?
I only half-passed him for his concept.
[Thanks for the 1,000 won donation, ㅇㅇ!]
A tank like that would be in high demand. The fact that he waited for Miro is insane, seriously;;
– LOL
– Miro’s group is seriously crazy;
– He’s a real little bro, waiting since day one lol
“Well, it’s good if he’s good.”
Anyway, thanks to his solid blocking, we easily took down the Goblin King.
When we first met, it couldn’t have been harder.
Now it’s surprisingly simple.
It’s weaker than the Orc Warlord we took down earlier.
“Did you complete the quest? Go turn it in.”
While my brother went to the town to collect the quest rewards, I checked the loot bag from defeating the Goblin King.
“Nothing special here.”
-Of course, he’s hogging it all lol.
-At least we got a lot of money.
“Yeah, if we grind hard today, we might be able to hire one more person.”
Seeing my brother earlier made me think it’d be good to hire more mercenaries.
This is more useful and convenient than I thought.
If we had a few more people like him, we could even pull off a proper raid.
[I’m back!]
“Next, let’s go hunt some orcs.”
[Got it, bro!]
And so, I helped my brother hunt in the orc hunting grounds for the first time.
“Orcs have big movements, so just dodge well.”
[Ah, okay.]
“But they have a lot of health, so it won’t be easy to hunt alone. I’ll help you out.”
[Thank you, bro!]
-Lol, he’s so dedicated.
-This guy’s really going all out.
-Gotta carry the little bro, huh?
-Wow, his voice is so commanding.
“If we grind hard today, it’d be nice to find a decent DPS.”
I can’t always help my brother, after all.
The second mercenary should be a DPS.
“A ranged DPS would be great, but do those even exist?”
I’m a melee DPS, and my brother’s a tank.
If we had a ranged DPS, the balance would be perfect, right?
-Ranged DPS, seriously?
-This guy has no shame lol.
-If you want a ranged DPS and a tank now, you’d have to hire and train a newbie mercenary.
“Ah, is that how it is?”
-Yeah.
-This guy’s so weird lol.
-Early server players all soloed as warriors.
“I see…”
So, mercenaries are mostly warriors too.
Well, warriors are good for soloing early on, so it makes sense.
I’m a warrior too, after all.
“Then, when a newbie joins, you’ll have to carry them a bit.”
[Got it!]
Well, I’m carrying my brother now.
When a new mercenary joins, he can pass on the love and train them.
Is there anyone better than this, though?
Well, The Six has filtered out the best, so the quality should be good.
But I still want to find an exceptional mercenary.
Someone like Wen Chou or Yan Liang, who were next to Anna during the last war content, would be great.
Anyway.
“Let’s just hunt orc warriors for today?”
[I’m fine with hunting the elite orc warriors too!]
“Wow, you’re ambitious.”
Having a good tank made the hunting go incredibly smoothly.
Honestly, orc warriors can be dangerous even when I’m farming them.
But with a tank, it’s so much easier.
No wonder tanks are considered elite.
Even though mercenaries have lower shield proficiency and stats compared to regular members, they’re still a big help.
[I’ll block everything!]
-This guy’s equipment is seriously OP.
-This is why he’s a mercenary.
-There’s a reason he got hired on the first day lol.
Plus, he’s full of passion.
He’s definitely a worthy first recruit for the Miro Mercenary Group.
Yeah, forget Wen Chou and Yan Liang.
All I need is one reliable piece of equipment.
And so, thanks to my newly recruited brother, we hunted smoothly all day and earned plenty of money.
“Let’s go recruit the second mercenary.”
After that, we headed straight to the Mercenary Guild to recruit the next member.
[Here are the candidates waiting…]
Since I posted a recruitment notice earlier when we passed through town, there were quite a few mercenaries waiting at the guild…
“What the…”
I was speechless when I saw the candidates.
-LOLOLOL.
-No way, this is hilarious.
-These guys all came with their stats wide open lol.
-The rumors must’ve spread.
“…Did I log into a Romance of the Three Kingdoms game?”
Every single one of them had muscular customizations and unique weapons.
That one looks like Lu Bu… next to him is Zhuge Liang, and who’s that? Jiang Wei?
I can’t help but laugh.
But the most ridiculous part is…
“I think we need to earn more money.”
I want to hire all of them.
-For real.
-How much would it cost to hire all of them?
-Why is this guy playing a different game?
-The competition in Miro’s recruitment is intense lol.
A Romance of the Three Kingdoms crossover in a fantasy game?
Looking at the candidates, it seems possible.
