Overgeared

, and muscles made it an ideal body. Of course, this man was also a player. However, his ID was covered.
It was because the man had covered up more than half his face with a black mask.

‘This guy is the newbie who just came to the East Continent.’

'Our target came to find us, isn’t this big?’

The players were excited, but tried not to show it.
They greeted the man with a polite attitude.

“I’m surprised.
I didn’t expect to meet another player like us on the East Continent.”

“You came all the way to the East Continent, so you must have a considerably high level? It’s nice to meet you.”

“But what is with that mask?”

“Is it an item for decoration? It’s nice that it looks somewhat threatening.
But isn’t it uncomfortable to cover your vision…?”

There were greetings and questions.
The man scratched his head in an awkward manner.

“I was called a sexual molester by the guards and chased, so I have to wear the mask for a while.
I’m sorry, but please pretend to be my companions for a while.”

“????”

Introducing himself as a molester at the beginning of the conversation? It wasn’t exactly sexual harassment but a ‘molester.’ Was there any thief who would admit that he was a thief? No.
The fact that he wore the mask and was being chased by guards meant he really was a molester.

The players were embarrassed.

‘I’ve heard rumors that there are players who molest NPCs in the game, but I never expected to meet such a trash person.’

The man who was a trash molester wore a bizarre laughing mask that covered half his face. That man was currently very upset. It happened after he gave Yang Fei a massage at the entrance of Idan’s restaurant. He was chased by guards while heading to the smithy? He was framed as a molester who harassed women in public.

‘Shit…
What is this?’

His legendary dexterity. It was incredibly useful depending on the use, but the risk was also great. Grid realized that he should seal the use of his hands in public.
He avoided the guards by entering the tavern and came across four players.

'Lane, Mook, Evan, and Oshihoz.’

The four players were strange.
Since they crossed to the East Continent, they must at least have their third advancement.
But their IDs and faces were unfamiliar, so they must be unofficial rankers.

‘I met them by chance, but I should obtain some information from them.’

The Grid of the past would’ve tried to take advantage of them.
But now Grid could have moderately good human relations like an ordinary person.

“Do you know any good hunting grounds? Sit at the bar and unburden your hearts.”

‘Oh.’

The eyes of the four players sparkled.
It was a very nice situation because the prey approached by himself.

‘It’s tough since we don’t know his identity.’

Maybe he was on guard and concealed his identity from the beginning.
The players suppressed their curiosity in order to trap the man in the mask.

“Yes, we got a huge jackpot today.”

“Ever since coming to the East Continent, it feels like being in heaven every day.
We made a huge amount of money and experience.”

“We know a lot of good hunting grounds.
Well, since you’re a skilled player who made it to the East Continent, your ability to find hunting grounds should be excellent.”

Grid’s eyes shone from behind the mast.

‘Incredibly good hunting ground!’

Grid’s ultimate goal behind coming to the East Continent was to level up.
Grid had no choice but to be interested in these words.

‘In fact, I have been on the East Continent for less than three days and don’t know that much…’

If the players knew this truth, they might not let him in. Grid made a bluff. He couldn’t expose his current situation.
He needed to act with the dignity of the leader of Overgeared.

“Of course I know a few good hunting grounds.
Do you want to share information with each other?”

‘What would he know?’

The players knew when the masked man arrived on the East Continent.
This newbie was trying to trick them without knowing he was the one being deceived.

“Ah, should we? It would be good for both of us.
Okay.
Players in a strange land should help each other out.”

“That’s right, that’s right.
The hunting grounds are very large and there won’t be any damage from adding one more person.”

The players smiled widely and spoke to Grid.

“We happened to finish our food and drinks while talking.
We’ll be happy to lead you to a hunting ground.”

Grid readily accepted. “That sounds good.
Later, I will share information about hunting grounds with you.”

The players grinned wickedly at Grid.
They left the tavern and headed northwards towards the community of big poisonous rats.

Grid was astonished.

‘Ah, what? This is the good hunting ground?’

Certainly, the community of big poisonous rats was ‘good.’ But not after the Queen Rat was killed. After the Queen Rat died, the respawned big poisonous rats were much weaker.
Their average level fell by 30 and they didn’t give as much experience.

‘I wanted a place other than here.’

Grid clicked his tongue.

‘Heok? What the?'

‘Why are the hamsters so weak?'

‘It’s so exhilarating.
I don’t know what changed with the hamsters, but it is likely that the Queen Rat is still strong.
Has the illusion magic been used on the walnut?’

'Yes, there is no way for that guy to tell that this is a golden walnut.
Even a top rated appraisal item will only display it as a simple walnut.’

It was good that a newbie who could become bait had appeared in front of them. The players believed their plan would be successful.
Of course, it was a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding that was likely to be good for Grid.
