He laughed at her angry look even though he did not know why she was angry.
"Did you find what I told you in the capsule?"
"Yes. I also followed your instructions and isolated these objects in a safe area in the house where I live."
"Hide them in a place where no one can find them!"
"Do not be anxious like this. Do not change the subject, I have contacted you more than once, but it seems that you have been busy!"
This time he just smiled in response to her question. He understood that she was angry at him because he did not answer her calls. But at that time, he was in a very dangerous situation and didn't need any distraction!
"First I apologize to you. Secondly, I want to ask you about something. Have you ever heard about Lord's mode before?"
Despite his apology, she was still angry with him. But she didn't continue to pressure him anymore and said:
"Yes, I heard. It is a mode that is difficult to find. Through which the player can establish a village and develop it into a large city and perhaps a kingdom."
"Good! You have heard the announcement of the game and you know that I got a reward including the village foundation stone."
"Would you like to change your class to become a lord? I don't think you are a maniac who likes to control others and give orders to them!"
He didn't know what to say. Would he tell her that she was his role model in Lords mode? Was she a maniac who loved to control others? He swallowed his saliva with these words and then said:
"I'll send the stone information to you."
He then opened the stone info window and sent footage of it to her. Seconds later she told him:
"I don't find any problem with this stone. You only need to use it to establish the village and it will belong to you."
"Then I want you to read this information as well."
He then sent the guild founding stone info to her. As soon as she read it, her looks immediately changed and said with astonishment:
"Do you have the guild founding stone as well? Tell me, have you started the game before we started playing it? What is your level now?"
"I am at the ninth level."
This time, she didn't say anything and just looked at him in amazement! The forums of the game in all countries talked about the level of the most prominent players in each domain.
According to her knowledge, the highest level of a player so far did not exceed the fourth level. This stranger had reached the ninth level! She was still suffering on the second level.
"You cheat on this game Ibro. You are a cheater!"
He said with a wide smile:
"If you wanted me to help you reach a high level like me, just ask."
"No thanks. I prefer to adapt to this hard leveling system in this game on my own. I guess you will be able to reach the tenth level today, right? You are planning to have more ads for the game!"
Ibro laughed at her words, and then he said:
"I did not plan to reach the tenth level today, but I expect to reach it tomorrow. I don't want to brag but I'm very happy to reach this level so quickly. I want to reach the highest level in the game as soon as possible."
"Of course you won't tell me your great big plan."
Ibro just smiled before ending the call saying:
"I am very busy right now. I want you to search for me about the relationship between villages and guilds."
"Don't worry; I will get back to you with a satisfying answer tonight at the latest."
"See you later then."
Ibro was confident that she would find the answer to his question quickly. Now he was facing a question that he must answer: would he continue with his prior plan to destroy five strongholds and summon the special quest of defending the village or not?
The main objective was to quickly reach the tenth level. With simple calculations, he realized that he would reach the tenth level after destroying a stronghold or two at the most.
So the goal of the whole campaign would be fulfilled before he finished destroying the five strongholds. He began to remember the details of this quest and balance the odds.
Eventually, he concluded that his loss of legendary scroll use was not equivalent to what he would gain from that quest. He began to move away from the boss monster's house.
Before he moved a few steps, he noticed a little stone shining on the ground. He moved back to it and then picked it up to find it similar to the stone that he just destroyed.
"Polrad stronghold foundation stone: Silver grade stone. The player can establish his own Polrad stronghold in the vicinity of his own village or alliance headquarters. It produces 200 Polrad monsters daily. The level of Polrad monsters is five levels higher than the player level."
Ibro looked at the little stone in his hands in astonishment. The stone was a pleasant surprise that he did not expect. This stronghold will be a suitable place to train Heptian players when they enter the game.
He held the stone and looked at it carefully. What would happen if he had ten or twenty like it? This time, he neither thought of the quest nor of his own level. He thought about the future when nearly two hundred and fifty million Heptians entered the game.
Would he send a note of this to Oya to tell her about this stone and how to acquire it?
"Let's postpone this issue, now I have to collect the largest possible number of strongholds."
He raided other strongholds for the rest of the day like an obsessed man. After night fell on him, he did not stop.
Up to this point, he destroyed three additional strongholds. He won a large number of gold coins plus some equipment and materials.
After destroying the second stronghold, he made a trip back to the village to rent a temporary warehouse in which he would put all his acquisitions from those strongholds.
He now had four different stones to establish four strongholds, each of which generated a large group of monsters daily. The highest level he got was the stronghold he just destroyed, which was from the golden level. It produced 1,000 Pintar monsters a day.
During his last and extremely dangerous battle, he was able to advance to the long-awaited level 10. He added his AP and then headed for the fifth stronghold.
He was not thinking about whether or not he should participate in the defense of the village. His intuition predicted that it would be a waste of time, but his conscience did not allow him to do so.
The village was almost empty of any force capable of deterring that aggression.
He headed towards the fifth Stronghold to eliminate the monsters in his usual way.
In the second stronghold, he destroyed the stone before searching for every house. He was very excited about the success of his plan.
He was surprised after the stronghold was destroyed by the disappearance of everything in it. After leaving the vicinity of the fifth stronghold, a loud bell sound rang in his ears, accompanied by a soft voice:
"System Prompt: To all the players in the novice village of Ishka: The player "Ibro" has destroyed five special strongholds for criminals in the vicinity of the village of Ishka.
Within half an hour, the monsters will gather a huge army to attack the village. Please quickly return to the village and participate in its defense.
Note: If the village is lost, the players will lose everything they store in the village, and they will also lose all the quests they got from NPCs."
"Damn!"
Ibro moved at his fastest speed towards the village. Fortunately for him, the last stronghold was very close to the village. It didn't take him ten minutes until he had emptied all of the contents of his warehouse back to his Inventory.
Before that, he had reluctantly bought stone to increase the capacity of his Inventory. The stone was sold at the same place the warehouse was rented.
The price of one stone was 100 gold coins, which was a very high price. In the city, one stone was worthy of no more than 10 gold coins.
Due to his difficult situation and the imminent attack on the village, he bought five stones. Each stone increased the size of the Inventory by 50 boxes.
His Inventory initially had 100 boxes and now it contained 350 boxes. Then he moved outside the village, as far away as possible from it. After nearly 15 minutes, while he was searching for the next stronghold, the disturbing sound came out again.
"System Prompt: The monster army will attack the novice village of Ishka within five minutes. Please, all players should prepare to defend the village.
As a reward for defending the village, each player will gain double XP. In the event of death, the player will not lose any level and will not lose any of his things in his Inventory."
Ibro smiled secretly. It seemed that the game was trying to seduce him to defend the village. He did not think much about that alert and moved towards the next stronghold. He noticed that the total number of monsters in this stronghold was fewer a lot compared to other strongholds.
This made him realize that most of the monsters had moved to attack the novice village. This meant he now had a golden opportunity to get rid of more strongholds. It took less than ten minutes to destroy the stronghold and then move towards another stronghold.
Within an hour he had acquired four other strongholds. Before moving towards the next stronghold, a sharp alert rang that made him stumble in his steps.
"System Prompt: The monster army managed to conquer the novice village of Ishka. All players belonging to the village will lose one level as a result of that loss. Within three hours, the monsters will transform Ishka into an advanced stronghold to have their complete rule over the area.
If the players do not prevent it, their level will reset to zero and lose everything they have acquired so far. If they succeed in freeing the village from monsters, then they will receive a generous reward."
"What the hell has happened?!!"
