Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 22: My New Teammates

The other players looked at him and felt doubt. I was really angry at them. They tried to snatch my monster and now they took most of its XP.

I was really mad. With Shin taking the initiative, their stress eased a lot and the swordsman started speaking:

"My name is Goda. I'm the temporary leader of our small group. I'm very grateful to you and your mate. Without your help, we couldn't leave here with our lives.

This defender is our tank. His name is Grendy. He is in a knight class. That archer is called Snad. That healer is called Mony. This is our wizard Heda. And I'm a swordsman.``

"Hello everyone. As you noticed I'm a swordsman and her hot-tempered mate is called Agatha and she is a spearman. I have an offer I would like to suggest to you."

Everyone looked silently to Shin while he continues his words:

"As you can see we are just a team of two players. We are very experienced but we need more help.

So what about joining our team permanently? I know it's strange to join someone you don't know, but as you can see we are very strong and in the future, you won't regret your decision today."

I was really pissed off when I heard his offer. I guessed what he was going to say before. Although I knew he was right, this bitter low XP that I got from this monster was still alive in my memories.

I kept my silence and didn't comment as I was afraid if I opened my mouth I would insult them and drive them away. We really needed to form a team.

This came with its pros and cons and I need to get used to this little XP. Bye-bye good days of rapid leveling.

Those players just kept their silence but I knew they were debating between themselves inside their own chat group.

Shin made another chat group for both of us and he urged me not to be rash and keep my silence. I didn't need him to tell me that, what did he think of me? a fool?

Was he my father to watch every step I made? He was really irritating and a cool swordsman. Goda replied after a period of silence:

"We agree to your offer, Shin."

"Good. Now Agatha knows the places of many Elite monsters. They are all level 5 monsters as here is the woods of a novice village.

Here the highest monster is at level 5. When we finish here we can move to the next wood which is near the map of lvl7 normal monsters."

He looked at me waiting for me to speak. I was still angry so I just looked at him and didn't speak. He sent to me a message in the chat between both of us saying:

"C'mon silly girl. This is a game. We need to have teammates. That should make the game more fun."

"Look who is speaking Mr. Social lover. You don't even have one friend!"

"I didn't make any friendships as I was afraid of the retaliation of those nasty arrogant aristocratic families."

"And now? What had changed then?"

"Now I have you. We have already taught those arrogant families a lesson. You don't know it yet, but your attack power is among the best in this stage of the game.

You only lacked the experience to use skills in fighting. So you need more players to help you cover your areas of weaknesses and fasten your leveling speed."

I harrumphed with discontent. Actually his words carried a good logic to them. But I was angrier at the way he was dealing with me. I hated it so much when someone knew how to deal with me.

That alone can drive me mad. He ignored me and went to the drops of this monster. This stingy monster gave me only 20 XP. How would it give me any good equipment?

"That's good. Our luck is really good. That monster dropped three pieces of equipment of copper grade plus 100 copper coins. That's great."

He managed to pique my interest. I checked these equipment stats at once with my observation skill. Shin had already sent the details of these three pieces of equipment to the team chat.

Although they all were silver grade equipment, there was no useful one for me or Shin. There was a shield for that knight class player named grendy.

This Grendy is really lucky. There were also two shoulder guards that suited the defender class in general. The last equipment was a pair of boots that suited Snad.

I ignored their happiness by the three pieces and focused on Shin. Shin was leaning on the monster's body using collecting skill. I wanted to know what he could get from this dead body.

If it was something worthy then he just got himself a strong rival. In two second I discovered the appearance of five different things from this monster's body.

Then that body disappeared completely without a trace. I hurried and checked their stats. There were three bones, one tooth and a piece of hair.

"Kifad bone: copper grade material. It can be used in forging and alchemy."

"Kifad teeth: copper grade material. It can be used in forging."

"Kifad hair: copper grade material. Can be used in alchemy."

These were strange terms to me. I asked Sjin at once in our private chat:

"What are these strange materials?"

"Strange? Get used to the silly girl. In the future, you will wage wars because of strange things like these."

"I wage wars for these unknown names?"

"You may not know them now, but in the future, you will practice your lifestyle skills hard to raise their grade.

Trust me, girl, lifestyle classes are not like our normal classes. They need materials to use in practicing their level.

They use materials to make certain products. They need designs for forging and scroll for potions and drawing for mechanics and layout for building. These matters are always expensive. Every attempt has a high rate of failure.

Your success has multiple factors that determine it like your grade, the quality of materials you have, and any helping factors like the place you practice and the grade of your equipment used in your practice...etc.

you will burn these materials like fire eating dry grass."

I looked at him and felt very astonished. He was really this game encyclopedia. I decided to ask him about his past even if I told him mine.

I had dealt with him long enough to develop some kind of trust between the two of us. While I was thinking about how I should ask him, he said to those new five players:

"Tell me, have you replenished your stocks yet?"

Goda, as usual, took the responsibility of speaking up for the rest of his previous group as he replied:

"Do you mean HP regenerating potions and stuff like these?"

"Yup."

"Unfortunately we didn't have any money before. So we have depleted our resources a long time ago."

"Money isn't an issue for us. You are now part of our team. This money will be handed to me to solve. You can go to level up with Agatha as I gain some money enough for the seven of us."

I looked at him in doubt. Why would he take all this trouble to support them? He noticed my look and explained everything in the private chat:

"These players are the cornerstone of your future path. We need to support them now so they can support you later."

"Why are you speaking about my future, not our future?"

"This is complicated for you silly girl."

"I don't like complicated issues. When you come back, we will make this complicated an easy matter."
