A drizzling night.
“Mo Yeon-hu, what’s wrong with your face? Did you drink last night?”
“Oh my, baby’s face is ashen.”
Mo Yeon-hu narrowed his eyes at the soft, white hand that naturally stroked his hair.
“Noona.”
Unlike his dark complexion, Mo Yeon-hu’s eyes sparkled with life. Seo Je-yeon smiled as if she would die of cuteness at his tired yet innocent face, but Seo Tae-min was disgusted.
“Ugh, so cute. I really wonder who’s going to take Yeon-hu away. I think I’ll cry when he gets married.”
“I don’t think it’ll be Noona, though.”
“Tae-min, shut up?”
“What’s so pretty about him, Noona?”
“Unlike you, a refreshing face?”
“Fuck.”
They had known each other for so long that he was as close to Seo Je-yeon as real siblings. Seeing her playfully tease him, Mo Yeon-hu smiled innocently, and Seo Tae-min reached out and pinched his nose.
“Hey, what are you smiling at?”
“Ah!”
“No, why haven’t you been answering my calls or showing your face lately? You wouldn’t have come out today if Noona hadn’t called, would you? Ugh, seriously, Mo Yeon-hu—you just ignore my calls!”
“Yeon-hu, is something wrong?”
At the worried expressions of the Seo siblings looking at him, Mo Yeon-hu cleared his throat and straightened his posture.
What had he been doing all this time that he hadn’t even received their calls? Something had happened. Something very important.
“I’ve been busy spending time with someone I like.”
Even if it was in the game.
“What?”
The two, who hadn’t heard the omitted words, looked at him with surprised faces.
Looking at his dark eye circles and earthy complexion, it seemed like he was having a hard time, not doing well… But the way his eyes were sparkling strangely made it seem real.
“Is Yeon-hu still searching for love three million miles away?”
“Noona, don’t even mention it. He’s still the same. So, is your love that-”
“Ms. Mi-yeong.”
“Yeah, that Mi-yeong.”
“Ms.”
“…Ms. Mi-yeong.”
Seo Tae-min rattled off questions.
“Were you really busy because of Ms. Mi-yeong? Tell me about it. I’m dying of curiosity.”
“Yeah, I want to hear Yeon-hu’s love story—is there anything? What kind of person is she?”
The Seo siblings, who knew about Mo Yeon-hu’s endless one-sided love march, asked in surprise. Seeing them, Mo Yeon-hu smiled proudly.
“Our Ms. Mi-yeong?”
Mo Yeon-hu beamed as if he was happy just thinking about Mi-yeong.
“Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time with her because of a certain opportunity… She has many unexpected sides.”
The way his eyes folded lovingly and the corners of his mouth turned up as soon as he thought of her made even the two people watching him feel good.
“First of all, she’s incredibly like a baby rabbit, you know? It feels like she’ll make a ‘jjong jjong’ sound when she walks. Small and petite, and very round.”
“Oh, she’s a very cute person? But what are the unexpected sides?”
“She’s incredibly…”
“Incredibly?”
“…good at using people.”
“……Huh?”
“What?”
For a moment, the siblings couldn’t manage their expressions. However, Mo Yeon-hu, unaware of their reaction, chattered excitedly.
“She really makes people work hard?”
What does that mean?
‘Is it a compliment or an insult?’
Mo Yeon-hu, oblivious to the siblings’ reaction, recalled the past few days.
After joining the Alliance, Mi-yeong showed through her actions that her words about proving that Mo Yeon-hu wasn’t a spy were by no means empty. She made him work as if testing several times whether he really liked Mi-yeong.
(Alliance) Miu: I think you can go to the farm today (Alliance) Miu: You have to collect this by tomorrow (Alliance) Miu: And there’s a raft, so freshwater fish too Mo Yeon-hu realized for the first time that there were so many things to gather in the game.
Later, he found out that another nickname for Zombie Village was Cook Village. It was a game with such insane detail about food that he had to gather ingredients like crazy.
‘Is this even possible?’
He was a fisherman yesterday, a woodcutter the day before, and a miner today.
Honestly, it wasn’t easy. How much gathering Skill would a newbie like Mo Yeon-hu have learned?
Moreover, the Necromancer he had chosen was not a suitable character for gathering because his movement speed was slower than other classes.
‘It’s hard.’
He had never done anything so strenuous even in reality. Just when he was about to get exhausted, Mi-yeong would come like a ghost.
(Alliance) Miu: Are you okay?
(Alliance) Miu: Are you sleepy?
(Alliance) Miu: Should we stop here?
She’s worried about me in three whole lines.
So, what could Mo Yeon-hu do? Wearing the one-sided love lens, he could only shout no because Miu, who was hovering in front of him, looked like an angel.
(Alliance) 0momo0: I’m not sleepy at all!!! I can do it Then Mi-yeong would give him a reward as if he had done well.
(Alliance) Miu: Hehe
‘Hehe,’ she says, ‘hehe.’
‘She smiled….’
When Ms. Mi-yeong smiled, Mo Yeon-hu’s energy, which had all disappeared, surged again.
‘I’ve mined all of today’s quota….’
…That’s how he had been mining copper until dawn today, filling a box full at the quarry. Anyway, he had been doing all sorts of labor in the Alliance Territory all day for the past few days.
“Her manipulation is the best. I love it so much.”
Mo Yeon-hu smiled brightly because he could do anything with just one word of thanks from Miu. The expressions of the siblings listening to this became strange.
They looked at each other with eyes that said, ‘Did he have that kind of tendency? Did you know, Noona?’ ‘How would I have known that?’ But Mo Yeon-hu had no way of knowing this.
As the misunderstanding deepened, the final blow came.
“…What are her other good points?”
When Seo Je-yeon, looking at Mo Yeon-hu with a strange face, asked, he nodded, saying that of course there were.
“She’s a powerful person, and her skills are very good.”
“Powerful… what?”
Seo Je-yeon’s eyes wavered. Seo Tae-min also flinched and looked at his sister. Mo Yeon-hu, who didn’t see the two looking at each other again, recalled.
How cool Ms. Mi-yeong was in the game. It wasn’t for nothing that she was ranked 1st and was the Alliance Master.
(Alliance) Miu: A Zombie Wave has appeared.
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Is the coordinate close to our side? Should we use the Cannon?
(Alliance) GoodLuck: Okay~ Checking Cannon loading~
(Alliance) Miu: No, let’s save it
(Alliance) Miu: I don’t want the Outer Wall to get damaged, so I’ll take care of it When a Zombie Wave struck near the Alliance Territory, Miu went out alone with a Sniper Rifle.
Seeing this, Mo Yeon-hu stopped cutting down trees and ran out of the logging camp.
(Alliance) 0momo0: Shouldn’t I help????ㅠㅠㅠ
Rather, it seemed like he should help 0momo0, who was saying that. Mo Yeon-hu, wearing dirty work clothes that had deteriorated from cutting down so many trees, peeked around the front gate.
‘I’d be a burden if I went!’
In fact, he wanted to go out and help right away, but there was nothing he could do, having only ridden the bus and gathered materials.
However, unlike the anxious Mo Yeon-hu, the Alliance Members were rather curious about him. Those who had been strangely watching 0momo0 admired one by one.
(Alliance) FUNK: It’s refreshing because I’m seeing someone worry about this for the first time (Alliance) Cheers to the Eyes: Hahaha
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: It’s really f1ucking refreshing Hahaha Cold. These people were quite heartless.
While Mo Yeon-hu was worried alone about whether the fragile Mi-yeong could survive well.
(Alliance) 0momo0: ???
(Alliance) 0momo0: Possible… was that possible???
(Alliance) 0momo0: No
Before long, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
Miu was building a tower alone in the middle of the field and quickly filling the kill log against countless Zombies.
(Notice) Miu’s bombardment sweeps away the infected Zombie horde!
(Notice) Miu’s critical shot! The skull of the giant Zombie ‘Raging Smasher’ shatters!
(Notice) Miu has acquired a ‘killstreak bonus’. (+Alliance public EXP 1,200) Drones flying through the air like they were running wild, and bullets that were not wasted even a single one.
Zombies whose faces were constantly exploding with headshots every time she shot, and the moving that avoided the giant Zombies that approached the tower.
“Noona, there’s just a person there.”
When he saw her take down the Zombies by targeting their weak points with a combination of swords, bombs, and guns in just a few moves…….
“She’s completely a queen…….”
He knelt down involuntarily.
