Faced with the adoration of these players, Harry took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He nodded slightly at them, trying to portray the image of a skilled player.
However, suddenly, a player who appeared young and mischievous approached Moonshadow cautiously.
"Miss, can you please boost me?" This player stood in front of Moonshadow, wearing a pitiful expression. To make it even more convincing, he even managed to squeeze out a few tears.
Moonshadow was taken aback by this sudden scene. She looked at the pitiful player in front of her, unsure of what to do. Instinctively, she turned to look at Harry.
Harry was speechless. He could clearly see that this guy was pretending to be pitiful, with the intention of joining their team and gaining experience. What's more, he had been clever enough not to approach Harry directly, but instead targeted Moonshadow, hoping to manipulate her sympathies.
Harry's expression was normal. If it was any other time, it would be fine to bring him along. However, now that Moonshadow was about to reach level 10, they would be able to go to the main city to change their classes very soon. If there was another person coming in, the experience would naturally be much less.
Harry shook his head. Just as he was about to refuse, the guy seemed to have noticed his expression and quickly spoke up.
"Miss, please boost me. Good deeds will be rewarded. Miss, you are so beautiful, and you must be kind-hearted. Please pity me." The young player wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes, looking extremely pitiful. He stole a glance at Moonshadow and noticed a hint of hesitation in her expression. This filled with joy, knowing he had a chance, and he continued to speak.
"Miss, not only are you beautiful, but you have a kind heart. You and Savion are a perfect match. As a low-level player, I know it's impossible for me to reach your level, but I..." The player choked up at this point, wiping away his tears and letting out a heavy sigh as if he was deeply aggrieved. He didn't continue speaking.
Hearing the guy's words, Harry was stunned. This guy was truly cunning. Setting aside the fact that he approached Moonshadow as a breakthrough, his seemingly simple words actually carried profound implications.
First, he praised Moonshadow's beauty, making her feel happy. Then he used the word "kind-hearted" to manipulate her. Finally, he even involved Harry, making it impossible for Moonshadow to make a choice.
If Moonshadow refused, it would mean that she was only beautiful on the outside and not kind-hearted inside. How could she have the heart to reject him in front of her partner?
It was like a couple walking on the street when suddenly a beggar emerged, clinging to the man's leg, begging for alms, using moral blackmail. If the man refused, in the woman's eyes, he would be seen as stingy and lacking in compassion, unwilling to spare a few dollars.
Harry frowned slightly. He felt that this guy was very scheming and quick-witted.
Moonshadow, on the other hand, was different. She listened to that guy's words without grasping his underlying meaning. She only heard the part where the player said that she and Harry were a perfect match, causing her face to turn red, and her heart to beat rapidly.
"Alright, you can apply to join the team," Moonshadow spoke softly, her face flushed red. She didn't ask for Harry's opinion and directly agreed to let this player join the team. In her opinion, this player must be very pitiful, unable to find a team to level up, and had no choice but to come to her.
"Really? You are indeed beautiful and kind-hearted. Savion being your boyfriend is simply a blessing for him." That guy said, his eyes gleaming. Seeing that Moonshadow had agreed, he immediately applied to join the team.
By speaking in this way, the guy didn't fear offending Harry because he knew that Moonshadow held the most influence on the team. If she agreed, it was likely that the guy would be allowed in. Therefore, he used Harry as a foil to praise Moonshadow.
As expected, upon hearing the player's words, Moonshadow glanced at Harry and quickly lowered her head, her face even redder than before.
"..." Harry was speechless. How did it come to this? He really wanted to go over and teach that guy a lesson, but since Moonshadow had agreed, he couldn't refuse. Helplessly, he agreed to let the player join the team.
After this guy joined the team, Harry checked his information. His name was Wings, and he was only a level 5 Warrior, with no equipment except for a wooden sword.
Such a player joining the team wouldn't be of much help. Not only would they slow down the experience gain, but they would also require extra attention and care. Even a single touch from a spider would send them back to the city for free.
Of course, now that he was part of the team, Harry would naturally take care of him and prevent him from being killed by spider monsters.
"Be careful on your own." Harry reminded, then turned around to continue killing the spider monsters.
Wings happily replied. He also knew that he was in a situation where he couldn't help at all. Hence, he directly sat beside Moonshadow and used his specialty to continuously praise her.
responded and understood their situation. He couldn't be of much help, so he sat beside Moonshadow, using his wit to constantly compliment her.
Seeing this scene, Harry's face twitched, but he didn't say anything and continued to farm wild monsters alone.
Other players around them looked on with envy, thinking that this guy must know the expert to be able to join the team.
Following that, the team dynamics completely changed. Harry focused on killing monsters, while Wings engaged in a conversation with Moonshadow, occasionally making her burst into laughter.
It was understandable since Moonshadow's goal in the game was simple - to make friends and have fun. Wings was a glib talker, which naturally made her happy. The hidden motives between people were unfamiliar to her, and she only felt that being with friends was fun, at least better than staying home alone.
Seeing the happy smile on Moonshadow's face, Harry also viewed Wings more favorably. He felt that having one more person on the team didn't matter much. Everyone was going through their own struggles, and they were just playing a game, so it was fine as long as they were happy.
Harry didn't talk to Moonshadow. His farming speed had greatly increased, and his level had increased. Usually, a fireball critical hit could instantly kill a spider.
Although there was one more person in, the increase in grinding speed could make up for this bit of experience.
Soon enough, Wings who newly joined the team was enveloped in a white light and leveled up.
"I didn't expect spiders to give so much experience!" Wings couldn't believe it, looking at his level increase. He trembled with excitement.
The experience points gained from a single spider were several times higher than what they had obtained from killing boars and snakes before. In just a few minutes, they had leveled up.
"Soon, right?" Moonshadow smiled and looked at Wings proudly.
"Thank you, Moonshadow. Thank you, Savion," Wings exclaimed excitedly, expressing gratitude. Especially towards Savion, he was like a Pro Player in his eyes, instantly killing a spider with a single fireball. It was simply incredible.
If he knew that Harry had such magic attack power without adding any attribute points, he wondered what expression he would have.
If he knew that Harry hadn't allocated any attribute points from Level 1 to 10 and still had such magical attack power, Harry wondered how he would react.
He had intentionally saved his attribute points, planning to decide where to allocate them after changing his class.
