Chapter 29

Besides, he could not find replacements for the orc skeletons now. Although all sorts of bones were strewn around, he could not use them because they were all smashed.
“Then, how about this?”
Sungwoo raised his arm. Then the piles of bones on both sides of the elder slime began to shake. And the next moment, pointy things popped out of a pile of bones, stabbing into the body of the Elder Slime.
Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk!
They were the spears created with <Bone Weapon Formation (Basic)> skills. Even though he could not resurrect the skeletons with the broken bones, he could make as many weapons as he wanted.

Screeching at the tip of the incoming spears, the Elder Slime shook its body. It twisted its whole body to shake them off, but it couldn’t move properly. Dozens of spears made of bones stabbed both sides, fixing it like a support fixture or a pin.
“Now, disassemble it.”
Rattle—Rattle—

It was the second night after the hunting game began. Sungwoo’s party decided to spend the night in a detached house. It was an empty house, but there were signs that the owner hastily packed and left the house.
“The gas has been disconnected, but we still have electricity and tap water. Would you like to wash up first?” Jisu asked, taking off her training top. As the clothing was red, it wasn’t noticeable, but it was stained with blood everywhere.

“It looks like you’re in a hurry. Please wash first.”
She was already taking out a towel.
“Yeah. I think I’m going crazy. I just ran five laps around the playground right before this whole mess. Did you smell my sweat?”
“Don’t worry. The smell of blood was stronger.”

“Ugh. I really think my body reeks of blood.”
Muttering like that, she went into the bathroom.
Although electricity was still on, she didn’t turn on the light deliberately. Only the sound of a shower was heard in the dark bathroom. Sungwoo and Hanho recharged their mobile phones in the living room and checked the ‘Player Guidebook’ application.

“There are still no new posts in the community. This one is the same as before.”
“Well, l would save gold and select an item instead of posting there. Anyway, I should find a store and use some gold.”
In the meantime, Sungwoo already had 11,982 gold. Although it was good to see the funds growing, it was necessary to change them into items to increase the survival rate.
Nobody knew when they would run into a formidable creature.
Slime? It was really lucky for them to have confronted the slimes because the skeletons were their natural enemies.
“Sungwoo, look at this comment. Something’s fishy. Why were all the replies deleted?”
Like Hanho said, there were a total of 18 comments on the post that they were making a safety zone inside the H Apartments, but as many as 10 of them were deleted.
─ kor-781: I’m on my way there. Why were all comments deleted?

<Comment deleted by the author.>
Kor kor-4884 (author): The world is going crazy, so people are running wild too. There are all sorts of assholes everywhere, so don’t worry about the deleted comments.
─ kor-433: Didn’t the man who said he was coming arrived yet? I’m a bit nervous. Please make some comments!
<Comment deleted by the author.>
Kor kor-4884 (author): He hasn’t come yet. Maybe he might have met something bad on his way here. I won’t use gold anymore. Only those who are near here can leave comments.
“Hmm… Don’t you feel something fishy?”
Sungwoo also read between the lines of the comments carefully.
‘Somebody wants to act altruistically by using 1,000 gold… But someone else is using as much gold as them to make malicious comments? Why?’ Sungwoo thought to himself.

Obviously both sides were not normal, but Sungwoo really could not understand the man who kept posting the comments. What benefit was he trying to get? Was he really crazy?
“…”
Sungwoo pondered about it for a while, then raised his head and looked up at Hanho.
“Hey, Hanho.”
“Yeah? why?”
A shadow was cast on Sungwoo’s face. At that moment, he felt scared about Sungwoo.
“Can you kill anyone?”
***
Even if you kill people, you get gold.
It’s even easier than hunting a monster, and you get much more gold.
They give 5,000 gold for an ordinary man, and 1,000 gold per level to a game player.
5
In other words, if you kill a Level 5 player, you can get 5,000 gold.

Who knew it first? And how did he know it? Was it unprecedented for anybody to kill someone else to get gold? However, those who really tried it could not get out of that thrill.
In an underground parking lot with the lights off, a van was parked at the entrance to the ground. However, the bumper of the van was stained with human blood.
“Well, brother, who the hell is the boss?”
The big guy holding the steering wheel asked the skinhead in the passenger seat.
In fact, until recently, ‘skinhead’ was used only to refer to any organization’s boss.
This skinhead, commonly referred to as “President Park,” was a wastrel from this area. After gathering his minions, he was running an illegal private sports gambling site.
As the boss of the gambling organization, he was in the process of solidifying his position in the black market. He was proud that as far as guts were concerned, he would not be outmuscled by anybody.
“…Dang it. Fuck!”
