ăPrecisely! We are a guild right now! With shared inventory and all that! There may be information that we might want to keep to ourselves, but there are also those that we might want to make good use of! That being said, we simply cannot give them away for free.
\nPencilgton opens his hand and shows us his fingers.
ăFor the moment, we have five huge pieces of info that we can consider as our trump cards. We might not be as grand or possess the resources like any other guilds, but we can use those five to make a name for ourselves!ă
Then, closing each finger respectively, Pencilgton started to enumerate the trump cards that were currently in our possession.
ăFirst of all, since we have cleared the Unique Quest connected to Wezaemon before anyone else and we have access to information about this whole âBahamutâ.
Secondly, since we managed to beat the Gravekeeper Wezaemon we have obtained the âINVENTORYâ accessory with some really powerful weapons inside it.
Third, we have the monopoly on the profession of âGrandmasterâ that our furry friend Break managed to achieve.
Fourth, the same can be said about going to Rabbitz as well as the existence of the Cait Sith race that our dear Sanraku-kun discovered.
And fifth, utilizing all of the above information, we have a huge head start when it comes to taking the next Unique Quest that comes around.ă \nIn other words, even though each of us can hide a trump card of our own, as a guild we have those five to give us an advantage.
ăItâs just a matter of time before the rest will catch wind of that as well. Information is everything in this game and the fact that three people possess information that can keep the three biggest guilds at bayâŚâŚ Ahh, donât you think it is really enjoyable? Being able to play people around like it was nothing?ă
ăPencilgton, do something about your face. Youâre starting to creep the hell out of me right now.ă
ăUnion Rounds was different. I could go all out on livestock there and slaughter them like the pigs they all wereâŚâŚ But this is different. We wonât kill them, we will keep feeding them, fattening them up, making them grow. Only to get rid of them once the situation is stabilized and they will get us the biggest possible profitâŚ..ă
ăArenât you aiming to become that kind of criminal mastermind that always ends up getting disposed of?ă
If it comes to that, we shall kick the living fuck out of you and then exile you to the middle of some God forsaken nowhere where you will rot until you die.
With Pencilgton starting to act crafty like that, it may be necessary for us to seriously start thinking about our future. That being said, Iâm not as good as Pencilgton when it comes to planning a few steps ahead of me, but I can wholeheartedly focus on the nearest task that awaits me.
(For now letâs just go to see if Break will be able to fix the reactor. In the meantime, it might be a good thing to start thinking how to deal with SF-Zoo so that they wonât cause unnecessary mayhem in RabbitzâŚâŚ I also need to keep my promise to EmulâŚâŚ) \nEven if itâs nothing major, it is better to keep a high âaffectionâ meter with the bunnies. You never know when it might come in handy.
I would also need to sell all the unnecessary items that I managed to amass. Letâs go shopping later to earn some coin for ourselves.
ăI think Iâm going to go for now and grab something to eat.ă
ăSure thing, let me know if thereâs going to be some new development.ă
ăAnd donât try to dodge our mails or calls ever again, Sanraku.ă
ăYeah, yeah, go blow yourself.ă
Saying that I wave my hand as a goodbye sign and then leave the cafĂŠ.
Now then, for as long as Emul stays in Rabbitz the only way for me to return there is by killing myself. And if Iâm going to kill myself, better to make it worth my while, no?
\nJust as I was about to return to the Crystal Cliffs, I can feel some nasty tentacle of bad premonition wrapping itself around my mind. But since I couldnât exactly put my mind on what it was, I dismissed that premonition as something with no importance.
When I returned the only thing that greeted me was silence and night sky. About ten meters away from me, there was a mining spot ready to be excavated.
ăNow thenâŚâŚ First of all, what kind of materialsâŚâŚ Hm?ă
Why are there no materials falling? And whatâs that sound? Rumbling in the earth? Some sort of quake? That timingâŚâŚ was it something that began right before the scorpions collided into themselves?
Behavior pattern change, system intervention, add all of that and divide by the factors that Iâm aware ofâŚâŚ
ăAn upâŚâŚ UPDATE!!!!!!!!!?????????ă
The crystals all around me begin to move in towards my position. Moreover, itâs not a transition from being inactive to active, but it was just as if they were waiting for me to return. What a nasty surprise.
In the very next moment I was crushed to death and turned into minced meat by four gigantic crystal pieces.
