Chapter 40 – We need to unite
"Dammit! I'm speechless. What's going on with this game? The Blazing Rabbits outside the Starter Village are like they're on steroids, completely unbeatable."
This was a complaint from a player in the Sakura No.1 Starter Village on the world channel, and his words quickly drew ridicule from players in other regions.
[David Cameron] Oh, God, what did I just hear? Players from Sakura Island can't even beat the Blazing Rabbits outside the Starter Village? My goodness, I really don't understand what the merciful God gave them limbs for. It's baffling.
[사랑해요] Ah, nuclear waste~ drank too much~ that's how it is, smida~
[震えろ] The little monsters here are easy to beat, one sword strike each.
[A Sword From the West] Hilarious, we've almost eaten all the little monsters outside the Starter Village, but no Blazing Rabbits, just level 3 or 4 Yellow Braised Chickens.
[Abs Corn] Sakura Island players are just trash, why don't you ask your USA daddies for some support?
[さくらジャム] Dammit! Are your little monsters that easy to beat? Aren't all Starter Villages the same?
...
Seeing all the information on the world channel, players from Sakura No.1 Starter Village were dumbfounded.
Among the information were screenshots of various treasure chests.
But from what those players said, they hadn't encountered any traps.
Some players from other Sakura Starter Villages even shared screenshots of the surrounding monsters.
These monsters looked normal, unlike the ferocious, gangster-like ones in their forest.
What on earth was happening?
What was targeting them?
Players from Sakura No.1 Starter Village were baffled.
...
As the sun set and the red clouds faded.
The sky donned a black cloak, and the stars twinkled as they watched over the vast land.
Sakura No.1 Starter Village.
A group of Sakura Island players, with gloomy faces and anger in their eyes, gathered around a bonfire in a circle, occasionally someone would suddenly retch.
Clearly, even if they hadn't been tormented by magical beasts to the extent of Moriyama Yaren, they must have eaten quite a bit of crap.
They were all pioneers who bravely stepped out of their comfort zones, but in the end, they became pitiful people beaten by society.
"We must unite and work together!"
Yamaguchi Village Chicken raised his arm and shouted, his gaze serious, exuding a leader's aura that made him appear tall and mighty, even the distorted dancer tattoo on his belly seemed more vibrant.
"The ancients said, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' To defeat our enemies, we must first understand them!"
Yamaguchi Village Chicken paused for a moment and took a fierce bite of the wolf leg meat in his hand.
This was roasted wolf meat exchanged from the System Shop, and for the first time, Yamaguchi Village Chicken, who grew up in luxury, found roasted wolf meat so delicious, not to mention roasted dog meat.
"Now, let's talk about the information we already know."
"First, the real strength of the magical beasts outside the Starter Village safe zone doesn't match their level at all! My subordinate Yaren-kun has a deep understanding of this."
"And this situation seems to only happen in our Sakura No.1 Starter Village!"
"Now, let's hear a few words from Yaren-kun."
"Ugh... young master... ugh cough... bleh ugh..."
"...(ー_ー)!!"
Yamaguchi Village Chicken couldn't bear to watch Moriyama Yaren start retching again and decided to speak himself:
"These magical beasts have very developed muscles! They also have a level 30 Black Dragon leader! So if we want to defeat these beasts, we must unite well."
"Since we need to unite, why don't we come up with a nice guild name and form a guild together?"
Everyone had no objections to Yamaguchi Village Chicken's words. They were just ordinary players, newly selected into this game without much opinion.
Besides, this tattooed guy looked intimidating, so even those with their own ideas kept quiet.
Yamaguchi Village Chicken was very satisfied with the players' silent attitude; this was the effect he wanted. After pondering for a moment, he announced the guild name he had long thought of:
"Since no one has any objections, our guild's name will be: Flower Girl Misimisi Guild!"
Players: "(=°Д°=)???"
Yamaguchi Village Chicken seemed oblivious to the players' expressions and explained on his own:
"Don't be surprised. From what I know, that Black Dragon has a very beautiful flower girl, a once-in-a-billion-years charming girl."
"The purpose of our guild is not only to fight the magical beasts in the forest but also to rescue that flower girl!"
"The true hero will win the favor of the flower girl! So, our guild will be called: Flower Girl Misimisi Guild!"
As Yamaguchi Village Chicken spoke, he posted a screenshot of Anna in the team channel.
This was secretly taken by Moriyama Yaren, the only photo where the little girl showed her full face, as most of the time she was tightly held in the Black Dragon's embrace.
To be honest, the first time Yamaguchi Village Chicken saw this photo, he almost lost his soul.
He had never seen a girl who could be both innocently cute and slightly coquettish, pure yet alluring, and petite and delicate.
Clearly, this little girl hadn't fully grown yet.
But with the charm she already exuded, no deity or mythical figure could compare.
Not to mention the adorable beast ears and tail.
Even more absurd, whenever Moriyama Yaren mentioned the little girl, his eyes would become dazed, and he wouldn't even retch, as if his soul had been purified.
It was evident how special that girl was.
She was likely the ultimate companion in a role-playing game.
Hearing Yamaguchi Village Chicken's words, the players suddenly understood, showing expressions of comprehension.
Just a bunch of perverts, always coming up with such grandiose reasons, hypocrites!
The players expressed their understanding.
After all, dragons in their usual games and anime often kidnapped princesses, so maybe that girl was a princess from some country.
A princess from another world...
Just the thought was exciting. Except for some indifferent female players, a group of male players' emotions were stirred, and they opened the screenshot Yamaguchi Village Chicken posted in the team channel with a bit of curiosity.
Then they were stunned, as if their hearts had been pierced by Cupid's arrow:
"Gasp—nani nani nani!!!"
"Oh my, I'm in love!"
"Sugoi! Kawaii..."
...
In the photo, the Elf Girl was staring with innocent big eyes, curled up in the Black Dragon's embrace.
Her two soft little hands were holding the Black Dragon's wings, and her baby-fat cheeks were tinged with a slight blush.
She looked a bit dazed, with a hint of youthful innocence, evoking a feeling of pity.
Her doll-like delicate features, rosy face, weak and cute expression, snow-white shoulder-length hair, and fluffy fox ears and tail...
The hearts of the otaku players from Sakura Island Starter Village were melted.
They thought, how could there be such an unfair girl in this world?
Immediately, they felt endless anger, jealousy, greed, and a series of complex emotions.
These emotions were strange, as if they were influenced the moment they saw the photo.
"Damn dragon! How could it kidnap such a girl to the Dragon Nest? Her parents must be heartbroken!"
"That's right! We must defeat the dragon and rescue such a girl, freeing her from suffering!"
"A beautiful girl belongs to a strong person like me!"
The players were excited, and Yamaguchi Village Chicken was satisfied with this scene. He knew he had achieved his effect; a group with a goal was easier to command and would have more cohesion to exert greater strength.
"In this period, please make sure to level up well in the safe zone, don't go out to die. Only when we reach a higher level will we have hope of killing the dragon."
"I've tried it, even killing the beasts in the safe zone, we can slowly level up. In seven days, gentlemen, follow me to flatten the Dragon Nest!"
Yamaguchi Village Chicken raised his fist high above his head, his voice passionate, and the players followed with roars:
"Flatten the Dragon Nest! Flatten the Dragon Nest!"
"Long live President Yamaguchi!"
