Overgeared

Chapter 1831

“Ugh! Ek! Uchuchuchuchu!”

“What does that mean?”

“Eek! Kuweeek! Ugh!”

“Since you lived with orcs, have you really become an orc?”

“...Ahh, ah! Can you understand me right now? Haha, I turned off the interpreter. Isn’t it hard to be conscious of this every time? Please understand. It hasn’t been long since I’ve changed to the fifth class advancement.”

“I’ve heard rumors. Isn’t it said that the fifth class advancement of the orcs strengthen the orcs’ habits?”

“That’s right. It is a setting that despises the culture and habits of other species. So even the language I speak is the orc language. It is annoying in many ways.”

The hundreds of burly orcs—they were all players, and most of them were Chinese. They fell for the propaganda of the Communist Party and changed their species to an orc. They visited Reinhardt as a group.

“There is a terrible rumor that a second Great Human and Demon War will break out soon. We will try to help out a bit, so let us use the hell elevator.”

“...I can’t do that,” Lauel stared blankly at the orcs who made the demand so confidently and refused.

The orcs were bewildered.

“Why? If we go to hell and get rid of some demons, won’t it help in the war? In the first place, didn’t you often open up the elevator to high level players in the early days? Why are you being like this all of a sudden?”

“It was announced a few months ago, but it seems you have been living with your ears covered. Among the demons, special entities that become stronger as they hunt players have started to appear. We are trying to prevent people with poor skills from stepping out for no reason and raising the level of the enemies.”

“Really? But we aren’t people with poor skills, right?”

The impression of the orcs became fierce. It was natural. The orcs who visited Reinhardt today were strong players in the top 10,000 of the warrior class. The media outlets and fandoms that were friendly to them described them as ‘high rankers.’

Of course, it would’ve been unimaginable in the past. A person who ranked in the top 10,000 of their class, not even the overall rankings, was treated as a high ranker? It would’ve been a disgrace just a few years ago. The media who described them as high rankers would’ve been suspected of taking bribes and lost credibility.

However, the times had changed. The average combat power of players had increased significantly. It was around the time of the Great Human and Demon War. In particular, the change in the world meant the number of people who owned legendary items increased dramatically. It was because there were many boss monsters. Now it wasn’t uncommon to see people handling field boss monsters of the same level alone or with less than three people. All of them were treated as high rankers.

“I changed to the fifth class advancement. My overall ranking is in the triple digits. It might be impossible for me to join the Overgeared Guild, but I want to assist you with my strength, so I brought 250 high rankers to visit. You might not bow down to thank me, but you should at least welcome me, right?”

“Hong An. I know you well. After changing to an orc, you rose through the ranks and became a superstar.”

Hong An shrugged with confidence after hearing that Lauel knew him well. It was with an expression of great pride. The orc rankers who followed him proudly puffed up their chests.

Lauel poured cold water on all of them, “But there is no law that states that skills are proportional to fame. What isn’t allowed isn’t allowed. You can’t use the elevator.”

are you being so rude and merciless and regarding everything? It is good to help each other, right? In fact, Grid has repeatedly stated to the media that players should cooperate with each other. Why treat us so badly and make us feel resentment when our strength isn’t weak? Even if you don’t want to cooperate with us, you should try to maintain a smooth relationship.
