Chapter 19: Rat Stampede! The Monsters Are Sieging!
Under Jaki’s order, all of Northpeak Shaft’s ratmen raised their weapons, ready to pounce at the intruders to tear them apart.
Meanwhile, the players farming in the mining shaft remained oblivious to their movements. (T/N: Farming: repeatedly killing monsters to level up.)
Orcknight slew a cornered ratman, sliced off its tail with a dagger, and tied it around his ribcage.
“The tenth one! 1000 hell coins secured! Kakaka!”
Minowarrior, wielding a dagger and a shield, followed him as he cackled, “Work harder. You need ten more to get 50 contribution points.”
Orcknight: “Bloody hell! There’s still so much more to go?!”
Minowarrior: “You were off for too long. The ratmen were pretty easy to hunt at the start. It didn’t take me long to gather my twenty tails.”
He had long met the quest requirement of twenty tails and was only hanging around to accompany his good brother. Otherwise, he would have been mining alongside the other lifestyle gamers.
Mining a kilogram of coal or ore would also earn him 50 contribution points.
