Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Lee Ha raised his hand in the air and took an aiming stance.

If punching in the air is shadow boxing, what should the following action be called, shadow sniping?

It is said that the shadow boxing of top-class boxers is such that the ‘virtual opponent’ is visible to a third party.

The same goes for top snipers.

The aiming posture taken by Lee Ha in the air, but the posture that had been lifted thousands or tens of thousands of times was perfect.

Gulp, the man really felt as if a gun was pointed at him. The moment his index finger moves, the threat that a bullet faster than sound may pierce his body.

“This one, this one! Oh, I’m sorry. My son has been a sniper in the military and that kind of thing for a long time…”

“Ah! “Don’t hit me, Mom!”

It was Lee Ha’s mother who broke the momentary freeze. Match the following! After hitting him, the man’s eyes finally returned to their usual state.

Sensing the change, I-ha pushed the wheel of the wheelchair, walked in front of him, and held out his hand.

“Leeha, something like this. “Please take care of me, CEO Soo-baek Lee.”

“Uh, ah… yes. No, of course. “Please don’t worry and leave it to us.”

Even Ki-jeong, who was nearby, could feel that at least there was no chance of being ‘scammed’.

The contract was signed on the same day. Unlike a typical auction contract, it was a contract that not only included a clause guaranteeing 100% successful bid, but also an unconventional condition of refunding the down payment if the bid was not successful.

The success compensation was only 80% of the industry practice, so it was clear that the man liked his mother’s cooking skills.

Otherwise, the man would not be able to show the contract with the incomprehensible terms to his company’s employees.

“Bid—Kahem, I’m sorry. Suddenly my throat cracks. Bidding will be held in 7 days, and I will assist with various court-related administration and arrangements after the bidding, but in the meantime, the owner will also have to take care of preparations for opening, including interior design. If you need a design office, I can connect you directly. I have friends who do interior construction neatly and without any defects. Of course, you still know that the boss has to run himself, right?”

“of course! You can’t leave that to Mr. Lee Soo-baek. “Because restaurants are my specialty.”

The mother shouted confidently.

Lee Ha felt a sense of pride as he saw his shoulders spread out and his confident expression different from usual.

Because the son knew how his mother felt when she finally achieved her dream of having her own store.

‘No, wait. Ready to open? Then, Mom, can’t I go to Hong Kong with you?’

However, I was only saddened to realize too late that I would not be able to go to Hong Kong with my mother due to timing.

On the way home, I brought up the story, but as expected, my mother rejected it.

I could no longer recommend it to my mother, who was already imagining all sorts of things about interior design, saying that she could go on as many trips later as she wanted, but that it wasn’t important right now.

It was a shame that I couldn’t go to Hong Kong with him, but seeing my mother happy made me smile with pride.

“Gijeong.”

“huh?”

“thanks.”

“what?”

Ki-jeong tilted his head, but Lee Ha did not continue speaking.

I was grateful to Middle Earth for creating this situation, and I was grateful to Kijeong for guiding me to the world of Middle Earth.

When I arrived home at 5 PM, the construction of the Mana Relay Tower was about to be completed.

* * *

“Okay, before you log in~”

Lee Ha moved his wheelchair and headed towards the computer.

It’s been a few days since the new continent of Erica was updated on the official Middle Earth website, but there hasn’t been any information related to it yet.

‘It has to be that way.’

On the map, which is painted black and the size and even the appearance of the continent are unknown, the only place that is revealed is the small area at the far left, ‘Red Wood’.

This was natural, as the map is only updated when users explore and decide to make their information public.

What items, NPCs, and monsters are there in the new continent?

The complaints of users who had to stare blankly at the map of the new continent without anything being revealed grew louder day by day.

It was no different from the largest community seen below.

〈Title: Alexander and Lee Ji-won, they say their personalities are trash lol Only the good ones〉

〈Title: So what are we going to do with the New World? How do you feel?〉

〈Title: └Re:Should I tell you?〉

〈Title: └└Re:Oh, don’t go into this ransomware scam〉

〈Title: └└└Re:It’s not a ransom, my real friend is a member of the New World Expedition〉

〈Title: └Re:ㅇㄱㄹㅇ〉

〈Title: New dragon rare discovered in northern Shazzrasian!〉

Other than that the new continent has been revealed, even the way to get there is unknown.

A mountain of unconfirmed rumors was piling up, including that some players in the Old Continent were building ships in Kraven.

One person’s speculative statement became a confirmed fact, and as the fact spread, the misunderstandings it created were increasing exponentially.

A lot of people were gathering, but in the first place, no one knew accurate information about the new continent.

No matter how many such people gather together, there is no room for anything other than rumors or criticism.

‘Tsk, is it true that getting criticized comes in the order of fame? I think more than half the page is just swearing at Alexander.’

Top 10 rankers, including Lee Ji-won, were receiving criticism one after another.

It is a monopoly on information that has been taken for granted in Middle Earth, but is it as unbearable as it is in the New World?

Below, I once again felt fortunate.

‘If they knew that I went to the Dragon Palace alone…’

And what about the up-and-down fight with the Paleos?

If users knew that, they would probably wait in front of Lee Ha’s house to provide information.

Below, I shook off my eerie feeling and clicked on the most reliable of the community posts.

〈Title: └└└Re: No ransom, my real friend is a member of the New World Expedition〉

Currently, the only way to get to the New World is by sailing. That’s right. But now things are about to change. They told me to get ready because something is being installed so I can move between spaces.

It is said that there are mermaids and NPCs that transform into animals. It is said that the animals build towers together

– what kind of space movement? Are you going by teleportation?

└ㅇㅇ It’s a deal that will happen soon. I heard that the members of the New World expedition are building some kind of tower

– Gaesol. Don’t you know that the price of dried wood in Kraven has jumped 20 times now? Leeha. I have to go by boat, so it’s not a joke. When you have time to talk nonsense, buy some wood. It lasts at least 100 times longer Leeha

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is ㄹㅇ. It seems like the bastard who wrote this is playing around to lower the price of lumber. Gosh!!!

└You damn idiots won’t believe me even if I tell you

└LOL Yes, I got caught right? Are you upset? Hahaha, I’m reporting it as a rumor of market manipulation ㅅㄱ

└Do it, you idiot

└No, isn’t the guy who wrote this a lumber merchant? These days, people in power seem to be enjoying part-time comments as well.

“Huh? Do you have any real acquaintances?”

The content of the text was short. The Internet community’s claim without any evidence or witnesses. I could tell right away that the content was correct.

It’s said that there are mermaids. It’s related to the ‘sea’, so it could be thrown around, but the fact that it’s related to Paleo, and that Paleos are even helping with the construction of the Mana Relay Tower, was really up-to-date information.

If you are vaguely aware of things that only those who are part of the New World Expedition may not know, you must consider that you have a real acquaintance.

But what if it sounds right? The sadness of the internet is that there is no one who believes in it.

Moreover, a single piece of information related to the New World was enough to cause the prices of all kinds of items in the Old World to rise and fall…

Gold in Middle Earth is money in real life! It was natural for users to be sensitive.

‘There is no such thing as chaos. There’s nothing special about it other than the fact that a lot of dragons appear in the Old Continent. No, it’s not that they appear a lot, but it’s because the level of users has increased so they play raids a lot.’

Raid applicants were lining up to post that a white dragon rare had been discovered in northern Shazrasian.

Of course, it is necessary to judge whether this is correct information, but at least it is true that many dragon-related articles have appeared.

‘There was a green dragon rare at Minis last time… Hmm.’

The gold dragon Bailipus is by his side, and the bronze dragon Blaugrun is his ‘partner’. Nevertheless, when I think of ‘dragon’, the first thing that comes to mind is Kuzgunak’shi.

‘Did the users discover the rare…. Or…’

Did the dragons reveal the rare?

I couldn’t come up with an answer right now. For about an hour, I quickly looked through various information and the latest ‘chiris’ and logged onto Middle Earth.

It was 6pm.

* * *

“Ugh!”

By the time I felt like I was falling from the air and my muscles were twitching, Leeha was already standing on the ground of Middle Earth.

‘I think I’ve logged in hundreds of times already, but I’m still scared.’

As soon as Lee Ha connected, a cyan light flashed next to him. It was the appearance of a partner I hadn’t seen in a long time.

[Kkyun! Kkkkkkk!]

“Mr. Blaugrun! “How have you been?”

Blaugrun waved his tail and messed with Leeha’s hair.

As I giggled at the playful movement, an amused noise could be heard from the vest.

[Mmmmmmmm….]

“Goodbye to Jelapon too. Now that I think about it, what happens to you when I log out?”

It’s similar to a living thing, but since it’s ultimately treated as an item, will it disappear from this world for a while? As I was about to ask that question, I heard a voice calling me from afar.

“Mr. Lee Ha! Where have you been? Come back now! “I almost logged out and went to call you!”

“Ah, Nara.”

“Come quickly! It’s almost done already! I decided to just do the finishing touches and take pictures during the cutting ceremony. Mr. Lee Ha must not be left out.”

“Yeah, really? It certainly went up very high, but-”

Leeha saw the Mana Relay Tower located in the direction that Nara was running towards.

It had greater majesty than the Mana Relay Tower built on a motionless island in the center of the Sea of Dawn.

When the black cranes flutter up carrying the materials, the red goats climb the tower like lightning to receive the materials and transport them to the giants everywhere.

And even Hyein’s instructions to place them in the right place. Hye-in’s command, which had been through a difficult time on the buoy, was cleaner and more efficient than before.

“Go quickly. “Everyone is waiting.”

“Oh, Mrs. Nara. Uh-”

“It’s noisy, quickly, quickly!”

The country ran. Holding Leeha’s hand.

The strange feeling of skin touching made Leeha’s heart pound. My face feels like it’s going to turn red. Should I run faster?

My heart is already beating fast, but if I even run here, my heart might explode.

‘Aren’t you embarrassed, Mrs. Nara?’

The following was unknown.

Why is the country that is taking the lead and holding its own hands and not looking back?

Nara could never show Lee Ha her face that looked ashamed, embarrassed, or excited.

“Eung! It’s late! Uh, why does Mrs. Nara’s face look like that-”

“Shh! Shh!”

“―Oof! Bob—Mr. Bob?”

Greeting them were members of the New World expedition team who had already gathered.

When Ki-jeong, who arrived home early and logged in, started talking to Nara, Bo-bae, who was nearby, pounced on him! I blocked it.

“Kitkit, here we go again. “Come quickly, slow-witted bastard.”

“But since Leeha worked the hardest, we should exclude him from this level of work.”

“It would have been better if it had been removed at the cutting ceremony.”

“I agree. No, I would be happier if I could blow off your heads like dominoes lined up during the cutting ceremony.”

Users nearby who were helping build the Mana Relay Tower with their own abilities and powers said one thing at a time.

The eyes of Biyemi, Jing Geng, Kid, Luger, as well as Ram Hwa-jeong, Lee Ji-won, Fernand, Alexander, Pyro, Bantal, and Jin sparkled, and Roubini let go of his hand for a moment and stared intently at Leeha.
