1st Place In The Ranking Is A Villager

Chapter 17

1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 1 Episode 17

17. Villagers?

The start of the uproar was a single article posted on the community bulletin board on the official Initium website.

[Did you see the ranking list??]

Even when someone I know told me to take a screenshot before going down and stuff it and keep it, I cried out and went to take a picture of it.

That person actually entered the rankings.

But while I was filming it and was looking at the rankings in my spare time, there was a villager in the rankings.

Is this the villager’s mark?

I’m sure I’ll actually see this mark.

No, more than that, how did the villagers get into the rankings?

-Yes, synthetic~.

└ Hahahahaha no? Go and search, it’s real.

└Huh, it really is hahahaha

– Am I dreaming right now? How do villagers get into the rankings?

– Crazy; The villagers are at a higher level than me;

– Respected moderators who will be reading this article! Please update your hair dye.

-Breaking News It is said that there are a number of combat users who are suffering from depression because they feel weird and painful.

└ Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

└Aren’t you one of them?

The wave of the article, which came up with a captured photo of the ranking list, spread quickly.

The level of the villagers who came up in the captured photos was never low.

Some refused to believe the article, but the evidence was too clear.

Some showed interest in him, and some tried to find him to promote and enhance their guild’s power.

There were several posts saying they saw the whereabouts of the villager, but all of them turned out to be lies.

There were those who argued that he was a villager, but all turned out to be false.

Villagers are a profession that is difficult to find even one or two people in each village, and villagers are the ones who wondered if they could be seen in the hunting grounds even when they reached level 500,000.

Entering the rankings of such a villager was a good gossip.

And on the other hand, he was surprised that no one knew about the existence of the villager until he entered the rankings.

Whether you like it or not, if you hunted to achieve a level enough, you would have hunted a party, but it was strange that there were no rumors.

But there was no way to know why.

The first article I talked about about the villager sat on Best Posts for days.

And the villagers themselves were unaware of the commotion.

[King: Brother! It’s tongue-in-cheek! Are you still in Fortune? what are you doing?][Hoya: I’m holding an iron bore.][King: Today? So, would you like to go hunting with us? This time, I’ve learned a new attack skill!]Hoya, the main character of the commotion, burst into laughter when he saw the whisper that flew to him.

After going to the dungeon with King for the first time, I was pushed by his atmosphere and even added a friend.

At first, the whisper bombs that followed were not bothersome and uncomfortable.

Still, there was no ill will toward him, and he only accepted good intentions toward himself, thinking he would do it now.

[Hoya: I see.]

After sending a positive reply to King, Hoya headed to the place where they were supposed to meet.

When he arrived at the promised place, King, Muran, and Fion were waiting for him there.

Fion felt so good that the corner of his smiling mouth was about to catch his ear.

“Hehehehe. Hello, Hoya-sama!”

The middle finger of his left hand, which Pion swung as he greeted Hoya, had a ring studded with red jewels.

It was an accessory made from the nucleus of a giant golem.

After clearing the giant golem in the ruins for the first time, the four people including Hoya continued to challenge themselves for several days.

As a result, Pion eventually succeeded in acquiring the core of the giant golem and immediately produced it as an item.

No players have advanced blacksmithing skills yet.

However, since the core of a giant golem is a rare material, there were many NPCs with advanced blacksmithing skills who would make it for you if you paid a fee.

On the other hand, Hoya, who obtained the core of the Giant Golem before Pion, had not yet been able to craft it as an item.

That day, he returned to the village and went to visit Dan Thals, but he had been absent for a while.

Just because he wasn’t there, it was a bit like leaving it to another blacksmith.

Now that this has happened, I was thinking of getting a mithril as an auxiliary material and going back.

Hoya has no mining skills.

So he couldn’t go to the mine, but after hearing that the Iron Bore, a monster from the field around Reforn, drop a mithril with a very low probability, he has been hunting Iron Bore ever since.

So far, none of the mithril has come out, but the experience has been raised quite a bit, no, a lot.

Over the past few days, Hoya has been able to make a so-called blast by going in and out of dungeons with the three of them and hunting field monsters.

In particular, when hunting field monsters, Hoya moved alone, so the experience that would normally have been shared between party members was all delivered to Hoya.

Now, the level of the surrounding monsters did not match Hoya, so he was thinking about moving the area.

If only Mithril comes out.

He was the one who didn’t want to go to the auction house and buy it.

Kaga-!

Iron Bore’s horns stopped in front of Hoya’s sword.

Taking advantage of that gap, King and Muran attacked Iron Bore.

“Two-step stab!”

“rush!”

Whoop, whoop, whoop!

The iron bore, which was attacked by the two, reconciled to light and disappeared.

King’s aggro skill couldn’t keep up with Hoya’s attack power, so they had no choice but to take turns playing tanks and dealers.

When hunting with Hoya, it almost always goes like that, so King learned a few additional attack skills that were not even on sale.

Now I was quite satisfied with it.

“Did you just see it? Will you kill the timing?”

“Yeah, I almost died from being hit by your shield.”

“Hey! When did I do that!”

It didn’t take a day or two for King and Muran to quarrel.

He said it was kind of ugly.

“Ah, by the way, brother, I was the one who recommended it, but are you okay?”

In fact, the three of them had been given a special assignment from the guild master.

– Hold on to that person until I go on my own!

People’s interest in the villagers who have climbed the rankings these days was very hot.

The idea that no one knows who it is has ignited people’s minds, and some are already writing very novels with delusions in their brains.

Strictly speaking, no one knew.

King, Muran, Pion, and Seol-Young Baek, the guild master of Seol Baek-ho, were the only players who knew about the current villager ranker, his appearance and his strength.

But no one knew when and how it would become known to the public.

So Baek Seol-young was planning to take him to his guild before the others knew about him and took him away.

He initially invited him to a guild through King, but Hoya rejected the invitation at once.

So Baek Seol-young decided to invite him directly.

The guild master personally recommends it, so wouldn’t it be a little more thoughtful? There was such a thought.

However, there was a quest in progress, so the quest had to be completed to some extent in order to be able to move.

Until then, it was Snow White’s words to hold him somehow.

Because he also wanted Hoya to become a guild like himself.

“Aren’t you getting a lot of experience? It’s not going to come in in a while because the level doesn’t match……”

At Snow White’s words, King encouraged him to hunt for a little while, but he didn’t know that he would really be with him.

If it’s Hoya’s level, catching Ripon’s monsters wouldn’t bring much experience.

Perhaps if he had moved to another area, he would have been able to raise his experience more quickly.

Come to think of it, King remembered that Hoya was hunting before he even flirted.

“Ah, the item I wanted didn’t come out…”

“Is it an item?”King had sent a whisper to Hoya from time to time, so he knew which monster he was holding.

What do you think comes out of the iron bore?

I had such a question.

“What are you looking for?”

“Mithril.”

All three of them widened their eyes at Hoya’s answer.

“Tonn, bro, can’t we just go to the auction house and buy the mithril…?”

“……Ah.”

Is it an illusion that Hoya’s cheeks, which are brownish like the tree seen under the mask, appear to be slightly red?

After that, he only participated in the hunt without saying a word for a while.

* * *

Kaan-! Kaan-! Kaan-!

Dantals’ house.

In his workshop, the constant sound of hammering and smoke was leaking through the chimney.

Hoya quietly opened the door and went in, patiently waiting for Dantals to stop hammering, enduring the heat of the furnace.

After a while, Dan Tals, who had finished hammering, came to Hoya, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the towel that was wrapped around his neck.

“If you’ve come, I wouldn’t have said you came.”

“I waited because you seemed to be concentrating.”

“Thank you for that. But coming to me means that you brought the ingredients, right?”

Hoya smiled and nodded and took out the giant golem’s core and mithril from his inventory.

Dantals nodded his head with a serious expression and continued to talk while rolling his hacks around.

“Yeah, yeah. I brought something good from the start. But can you get one more?”

It is a rare material for other blacksmiths, but for Dantals, it seems to be just a good material.

“Nuclear?”

“No, if you only have 50 Black Lizardman scales, you can concentrate them and increase the effect.

The level of Black Lizardman is said to be around 160.

In terms of stats alone, Hoya had a strength of about 250.

He has the power to not lose even to the top rankers at all, or even slightly ahead of them.

He had the same level of stats as the rankers, except for the divine power, which has not been helpful at all so far.

Hoya had the power and skill to catch the Black Lizardman alone.

As the level up was slow, he thought it would be good to raise the item’s performance and also raise the level.

There is a way to buy it at the auction house, but it is a financial burden because the quantity is a sheep.

“Then I’ll do it. Please wait a little bit.”

“Yes. And before you go, tell me in advance what kind of item you want to make, and I’ll make a basic frame in advance.”

“Um… Then I’d like a bracelet, please.”

“OK.”

Hoya greeted Dan Thals and went straight to her Mo An’s house and asked her to warp her.
