BlackPuma queried, "Was there not a Snow Wolf problem?"
Ninja, "Yes, but once we get to it we can handle it. So level 90 players were just terrified to have a Snow Wolf suddenly spawning and wandering around in the area every three hours, hence the panic in the world chat."
"Ok. Good. Frozen Tundra Land?"
HinoKun was the one to represent the Frozen Tundra Land.
"There are no residents at the Frozen Tundra Land, but a lot of players stay there for grinding purposes. I do not recomnd 130- people to stay alone in the safe zone anymore. The Dark Pegasus spawns every four hours. Best to face it with a party if you decide to kill it anyway. Unless your ID is BlackPuma, hahaha."
BlackPuma rolled his eyes at HinoKun who grinned at him in return.
BlackPuma, "Ok let's talk about the raid areas. Start with the level 50 raid. Lava County?"
ZhaoYun raised his hand.
"Nothing new in Lava County. No attempts made for Fire Golem raid yet so we don't know if it still works or not, or whether there are any abnormalities during the run."
Next to , DragonTalon sightly tensed up. He still wanted the Fire Golem Helt desperately. Sigh. I could say the sa about the other equipnt. I was not sure that I could get the remaining equipnt from the future raids.
Hi ca to report about the circumstances at the level 70 raid area, "No confirmation about level 70 raid, but level 60 raid was accessible as usual."
The precursor raids were done individually or in a party to gain admission to the next-level loot raids.
Perennia, "Sa with level 90 raid."
Babymage, "Sa with level 110 raid."
All eyes turned to BlackPuma, who shook his head as an answer.
"I also discovered no abnormalities with the 120 raids."
ZhaoYun, "So it looks like the raids will just be deactivated when the ti is up. Plus it is no longer possible to exit the ga through the raids below level 120."
Next to the digital clock, the countdown for Fire Golem Raid's deactivation was already taking place. All those who had yet to earn their helt felt a heart-wrenching pain.
HinoKun, "Let's talk about the plan to fix this problem. BP, you are the only one at level 150 in this realm. This is shaless of to ask, but do you mind taking a look at the new map? Possibly take a good look at the final boss?"
All eyes shifted from HinoKun to BlackPuma. The latter acquiesced.
"Sure. I will take a look right after this eting."
HinoKun, "Thanks, BP. Everyone, I believe in BlackPuma's strength but we can not expect him to solo a level 150 raid and win. How many Chocolate Cakes will that take? And how many hours? I thus implore you guys to please focus on leveling. The first 30 players to reach 150 will be taken to the level 150 raid."
Healie raised her hand to ask.
"Is there no preference for Bishops?"
HinoKun, "There should be, but only if we have more than 30 players who can run. Otherwise what is the point?"
Ingenious shook his head.
"I disagree. Bishops are crucial. In 120 raids they are especially instruntal for mob control. If we don't have five Bishops at level 150, we should not go."
HinoKun, "How many High Priests are close to 150? Not even one. KikiSan is at 120 now, she has yet to pass the Fourth Job Advancent Test."
Ingenious, "If we waste resources without being sure that we can win, we will lack resources for the run that we can actually win!"
The high levels started to argue among themselves. Eventually, BlackPuma stopped the argunt.
"Everyone please just level up as fast as possible, particularly High Priests. Starting from tomorrow, those who trained at Frozen Tundra Land should allow the lower-level players to leech so experience. I too, will do the sa."
"Okay."
"Fine."
"One more thing," ZhaoYun said. "Will the high-level players please help the low-level players to get helts and other items?"
Leprechaun who was strongly against this sche spoke up, "It is impossible to give everyone helts, boots, gloves, etc.."
"That is not what I ant," ZhaoYun said. "I am sure that more than 30 players have collected more than one end-ga equipnt. If you want to depend on these 30-sothing players to help with the 150 raid, then I thankfully wait in Paradise Island for the chaos to subside.
If, however, you extend the invitation to level up as quickly as possible and help out at the 150 raid to everyone including those who are not in the elite guilds, then I am willing to chip in. I just want to say that even after completing the fourth job advancent, I will not be worth much without a piece of single end-ga equipnt."
What ZhaoYun said struck a chord in everyone's heart. So players were lucky enough to belong to the elite guilds, leaving the rest struggling to get into good raid groups. Naturally, no one could scream injustice to this phenonon. People were free to befriend anyone they wanted and ford groups with people of like minds.
But now it was different. It was no longer a question about privilege and elitism. The appearance of the Dinsional Master affected every single player who existed within the realm. Were the high-level players confident that they could manage the Dinsional Master without help from the non-elite players?
BlackPuma, "Agree. The more people we have, the better. We must help those without end-ga equipnt to get stronger so they can contribute to the quest to defeat the Dinsional Master."
Relief was written all over ZhaoYun's face as if BlackPuma's words ant that he would get a helt the next day.
"Within this day, all representatives must submit the nas of those who would like to power level and help to defeat the Dinsional Master. I hope no one would lie just to get said equipnt and then back off from leveling up," BlackPuma said, narrowing his eyes at all representatives inside the tavern. "There is no such thing as getting equipnt for free. The elite players had also worked their asses off without help to earn their end-ga equipnt. There is no pay-to-play option in here."
ZhaoYun nodded.
"Thank you, BlackPuma. I will make sure to submit only the nas of serious players."
"Do that," BlackPuma said. "If there is nothing else to talk about, let's make a point to et here again tomorrow at 7 AM here to discuss the nas and organize raids."
All representatives returned to their assigned areas to report the good news and bad news. BlackPuma turned to and DragonTalon.
"You two, wait a second. Let's have an internal guild eting in a bit. Don't leave yet."
We waited until the crowd dispersed before we sat together as a guild and looked at BlackPuma full of expectation.
"After today, the guild concept will be changed greatly. We can no longer limit our interaction to certain people only. I expect everyone to contribute to this cause. Nevertheless, I understand if there are so people who would rather not participate in the quest to defeat the Dinsional Master. I want to hear specifically from this group. Please do speak up."
We all knew who he was referring to. Even within the Twelve guild, there were people who did not ambitiously pursue greatness within the ga and instead were satisfied with the life that Afterlife Dream had to offer. One of them was Cecilia. She was the highest-level resident in the ga. The owner of the Oakstone Tavern smiled and replied, "I do not intend to level to 150. I would rather stay in Paradise Island and mitigate every problem that arises so that I can keep my tavern."
"Ok, what about the others?"
Encouraged by Cecilia's example, one by one the others also spoke up. These were the people who had stopped leveling up altogether and just lived their lives peacefully within the Afterlife Dream realm. They all spoke about similar plans. The bottom point was that they were not willing to advance further.
"Okay," BlackPuma said with a strained expression. "We have been friends for so long, so naturally I know about this before all of you even start to speak."
Cecilia had a question. It was mildly expressed, but it was a heartbreaking one. It was sothing that occurred in everyone's mind when BlackPuma started asking this specific group about what they planned to do in the future.
"BP, are you kicking us out of the guild?"
BlackPuma did not answer directly.
"I talked to the two other guilds and they also had the sa problem. In light of easier cooperation in the future, we believe that there is an urgent need to restructure the existing guilds."
Cecilia pressed her lips together. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes when she pushed for an answer nonetheless.
"That doesn't answer my question, BP..."
BlackPuma sighed. He looked Cecilia in the eyes and said full of regret, "Yes. I will have to kick all of you out of the guild."
