I was shocked by Banye’s firm words, which I had trusted, and stood there dumbfounded before typing in the chat while crying.
[Friend][Aang] Then what do I do ㅠㅠㅠ
[Friend][Banye] You’ll have to run the account 24 hours
[Friend][Aang] What?
[Friend][Banye] Hah… First I need to figure out if you can even hunt
[Friend][Banye] You have a Discord ID, right?
At that question, I recalled the Discord I used to use with Sisi in the past. Of course, I had blocked Sisi, but the uncomfortable feeling hadn’t completely gone away.
When I hesitated without answering, Banye must have thought I didn’t have a Discord ID and nagged me to make one, sending me a link.
[Friend][Banye] Don’t know Discord?
[Friend][Aang] I have one
[Friend][Banye] Add #****
Even though I liked Banye, I hadn’t planned on doing Discord with him… I tried to hide my bewilderment and ended up doing Discord with Banye.
[Hwang Hyunjung]
‘Is that Banye’s real name?’
My Discord name was set to [Kolkol], the couple nickname I used to use with Kwon Dajeong, so I hastily changed it to [Aang].
Even though Banye must have seen the nickname change, he didn’t react. And when he told me to enter the voice channel, I inadvertently learned what his voice sounded like.
“Aang-nim.”
Banye called my nickname in a low, soft voice.
“Uh… yes?”
His voice was better than I expected, so I answered awkwardly, and Banye instructed me to screen share.
“Turn on screen share.”
“Why?”
“So I can see your status.”
Status…? What does he mean?
I had doubts, but my hands were dutifully following Banye’s instructions. As Banye told me, I logged into my account, turned on screen share, and showed him various things.
What Banye requested from me was the status window, equipment window, inventory, and so on. Every time I showed him something, Banye let out a sigh.
“This is serious.”
“…Why?”
“The fact that you don’t know why is what’s really serious.”
I felt a bit intimidated, and somehow it felt like I was being scolded, so my mood wasn’t great… But in the midst of it, Banye even nagged me to try hunting.
I hurriedly drank potions and slathered on buff consumable items before heading to the hunting ground.
[Bloody Moon!]
And I unleashed the strongest skill among the [Lilith] skills.
After watching me hunt for exactly 3 minutes, Banye threw me a question.
“Did you get carried to 144?”
“Huh? Uh…”
I couldn’t say that Kwon Dajeong had leveled me up… so I reluctantly answered, “Yes…”
“That’s what it looked like.”
“Why?”
“You’re really bad at hunting.”
“Well, of course I’m lacking compared to you, Banye-nim.”
“I’m not comparing you to me, you’re just bad at the game.”
“…”
I felt offended and kept my mouth shut tight.
But Banye didn’t care whether I was hurt or not and muttered to himself.
“I don’t have time to teach you everything…”
While listening to Banye’s mumbling, a good idea came to mind, so I suggested it to him.
“Can’t you just carry me, Banye-nim?”
Banye let out a sigh as if holding something back and replied.
“Hah… Of course I will, but you need to know how to hunt too if you’re going to hit max level within a week.”
“What?”
“You think you’ll reach 200 just by getting carried?”
“Uh… I can’t?”
“No.”
“Huk.”
Only then did I understand the situation and realize what Banye was worried about.
Banye couldn’t carry me all day, so I needed to know how to hunt during the remaining time… but after having me hunt a bit, the problem was that I was too bad at it.
‘What do I do?’
Then, Banye said to me.
“Can you tell me your account ID and password?”
“What? Why…”
“Let me log in and adjust your skills and stuff.”
“But…”
Even if it’s Banye, isn’t this a bit uncomfortable?
I recalled the past feeling when I thought I’d been scammed by Banye. Besides, my account has a lot of [Royal Kits]… and quite a bit of gold too…
Then, as if reading my hesitation, Banye asked me in a slightly annoyed tone.
“You think I’m going to rob your account?”
It was an irritating tone, as if he was asking, ‘Me, who’s ranked 3rd in Card of Fantasy and the guild master of a top server guild, would rob you?’
In the end, I couldn’t move and told Banye my ID and password.
“I’ll be screen sharing, so watch.”
“Okay…”
But my anxious feelings didn’t go away, so I timidly asked Banye.
“Can’t you tell me your account too, Banye-ssi?”
However, Banye chuckled and refused.
“No. But I’ll give you my sub-account.”
“Sub-account?”
“Yes.”
In the end, I had to be satisfied with logging into Banye’s sub-account. So we switched accounts and logged into Card of Fantasy side by side.
[Diving into the world of exciting adventures and sparkling cards…]
After loading finished, I logged into Banye’s sub-account [Banyecredit].
Banyecredit was at an even worse level than my account and was truly a storage character. It seemed to be used for putting up auction items or something, with no guild… Everything was barren.
[‘Aang’ has requested to add you as a friend.]
[Yes] [No]
Then, Banye, who had logged in at the same time, requested a friend add using my ID. I pressed [Yes].
Well, that was fine up to there… but Banye said coldly to me through Discord.
“The inventory… is really dirty. Don’t you organize it?”
“What?”
“I’ll have to do this first.”
What’s dirty about it?
With anxiety and a bit of curiosity, I looked at the screen Banye was sharing. There, Banye was organizing items at an incredible speed, neatly stacking them.
The same items that had been scattered here and there were all gathered in one place and neatly organized according to his own standards.
My haphazard inventory was soon beautifully organized by color.
I checked Banyecredit’s inventory just in case, and it was also neatly organized like how Banye was currently organizing my inventory, so I thought maybe this was just his personality.
“Wow… You’re really neat.”
“Don’t touch anything here from now on.”
“Yes!”
For me, well… it was convenient and good that Banye was organizing it for me.
I had been buying cash items to increase slots whenever I didn’t have space because my inventory wasn’t organized, so it was amazing to suddenly have room in my inventory.
If I had organized it earlier, I wouldn’t have needed to buy those cash items. So I obediently followed Banye’s words.
However, Banye’s nagging didn’t end there.
“Why haven’t you distributed 50 skill points?”
“I already put them in everything I wanted?”
“You need to level them up too.”
“Hmm… It wasn’t really a problem not to.”
“You’re killing me.”
Banye didn’t ask me anymore and boldly pressed [Skill Reset], then started putting points in skills as he pleased.
For reference, I’m not the same [Mage] as Banye, but the new character that just came out, [Lilith].
Banye is magic-based, I’m physical-based, so you could say Banye and I are polar opposites, but Banye didn’t seem to care.
Well, judging by how he didn’t even ask me how to put in skills, he didn’t seem to have any expectations. For me too, there was more I didn’t know, so I was more comfortable with him not asking.
Actually, I had chosen Lilith only after hearing rumors that she was strong, but I was thinking I wasn’t really sure if that was true.
The Lilith I had played myself was a tricky character who moved on her own uselessly, had high burst damage but low HP and died quickly.
But Banye smoothly put in skills, changed the key slots as he pleased, and then immediately went out to hunt.
“There’s Attack Syrup in the consumables window…!”
“Try it without taking any.”
Banye didn’t even take stat-boosting potions, unlike me.
I knew that Banye was incredibly good at Mage, but I doubted whether he could be good at Lilith too, especially with my account that was only level 144.
But Banye… was truly someone who deserved to be called a god.
“This is impossible…!”
[Bloody Moon!]
Just a moment ago, the [Bloody Moon] skill that I had used the same way unfolded once again from the tip of my character’s whip.
However, the result was completely different.
Unlike my Aang, who barely killed 5 monsters even after taking Attack Syrup, Banye’s Aang took down 10 in one shot and not only that, but also pulled the aggro of another ten monsters in the row behind them.
In other words, the number of targets increased by four times.
[Vamp Hold]
And Banye pulled the 10 charging monsters with the whip, drawing them in front of Aang like a magnet—
[Lilith Kiss]
[Mmm, smooch♥]
He used the skill.
It was a skill called [Lilith Kiss], which when used on monsters, reduces the monster’s HP and recovers mine.
But I opened my eyes wide because I was learning for the first time that [Lilith Kiss] was used like that.
Banye said as if impressed.
“Wow, you don’t even need health potions with this. This is insane?”
“That… wasn’t that an emotion expression emoticon?”
“What?”
No, when I used it, it was so bland at sucking that whether it had a health recovery function or not didn’t matter…
But Banye seemed to completely misunderstand my words and treated me like a total idiot.
“What are you even…”
“No, that’s not what I meant…”
I wanted to clear up Banye’s misunderstanding that seemed to find me pathetic, but after that, Banye half-listened to my explanation while immersing himself in hunting.
And I too… well, thinking what does it matter if he misunderstands, I was so absorbed in watching Banye’s fantastic play that I didn’t even realize I was wronged or that time was passing.
