Hyeonu’s plan was simple. He would level up in the Hejin Mountains as quickly as possible. Additionally, he would kill any of Tian Hu’s guild members that he saw. It didn’t matter if it was a PK, duel, or driving monsters to kill them. He would use any means and methods. With this determined mindset, Hyeonu was hunting in the Hejin Mountains when he saw a group of players in the distance.
‘I think this is the first time I’ve seen that mark?’
This was the first time Hyeonu had seen the guild mark on their chests. He had never seen the guild mark despite having been in the Hejin Mountains for a few days. Neither had he seen it in the information he gained from the communities.
“How many rare items did we acquire? Eight? We need seven more...”
‘Collect rare items? Are they from a workshop?’ Hyeonu thought.
“Why are they suddenly lowering their voices? How irritating.” He hid in order to hear a bit more of their conversation.
“This time, the starters in the advance party were all killed in a PK. No one spoke about it, but it seems they touched a ranker. I think they’re aiming for revenge, so they withdrew from the work and are focused on leveling up.”
‘I’m right. It’s those workshop guys.’ Hyeonu quickly left when he saw that they were from Tian Hu’s workshop. He headed to a certain distance away before walking toward them in an obvious manner.
‘Please walk over. Please.’
As if noticing Hyeonu’s thoughts, the players from the workshop rushed toward Hyeonu.

“Hey! Don’t you have any pride? You are able to be in these mountains yet you’re copying others.” Wang Feng, Xu Jun, and four party members blocked Hyeonu’s way.
‘Right, that’s right. I need you to pick a fight.’ Hyeonu endured the desire to laugh and pretended like he didn’t know anything. In any case, his face was covered with a mask, so they had no way of knowing what he looked like.
“What’s going on? Why block the road? Additionally, what’s wrong with my outfit?”
Wang Feng yelled at Hyeonu’s question, “Aren’t you cosplaying as Alley Leader? Eh?”
Hyeonu had a good idea because of this—an Alley Leader cosplay.
‘Thank you, you jerk.’
“Does it matter if I wear a mask?” Hyeonu pretended to know nothing and simply acted as an Alley Leader cosplayer.
“Of course. I don’t like that mask. Do you know how many times I’ve seen it today?”
“Then would you like to duel? We will bet our characters.”
Once Hyeonu finished speaking, the same thought crossed the minds of those in Wang Feng’s group. ‘Doesn’t this jerk seem fully immersed?’
Wang Feng thought that things had worked out well. ‘This is just cosplay, but isn’t he completely serious?’
“Hey, you think you are Alley Leader? Then you should do a team battle like Alley Leader. Isn’t that right?” Wang Feng said and asked his colleagues for consent.
They answered with one voice, “Of course. This is the only way to get much closer to Alley Leader.”
“Did you hear? If you want to fight, make it a team battle, just like Alley Leader.”
‘Kukukuk.’ Hyeonu was filled with laughter at Wang Feng’s words. Hyeonu had never been so grateful for the presence of his mask until this moment. He was laughing to the point of tears and barely managed to answer, “Yes, let’s go with a team battle.”
Hearing Hyeonu’s answer, Wang Feng smiled. ‘Phew, I thought it was too much. I can take at least two days off if I kill him.’
Wang Feng had been anxious because Hyeonu had hesitated for a long time over the team battle. Now that Hyeonu accepted the team battle, Wang Feng smiled without hiding his joy. However, Wang Feng couldn’t see that Hyeonu was actually smiling brightly.

“Then I’ll apply for the duel.”
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has applied for a duel.]
[Would you like to accept?]
“Of course.”
[Yes.]
Wang Feng accepted Hyeonu’s duel and turned to blink at Xu Jun. ‘Huhu. Brother, this will allow us to take at least two days off.’
‘Well done Wang Feng. We’ll meet later today.’ Xu Jun also blinked back at Wang Feng.
The two men had known each other for many years and could already read the expression in the other person’s eyes.
‘You’re playing well.’
In Hyeonu’s eyes, they were already pieces of gold—gold pieces that would be used to pay off his family’s debt. Hyeonu moved his hands to set the rules.
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has set the rules.]
[The rules set are ‘winner-takes-all’, ‘delete character’, and ‘team battle’.]
[Would you like to accept?]
“Of course. I accept,” Wang Feng decided coolly.
[Yes.]
His heart wanted to start the duel right now. He wanted to meet Xu Jun and have a drink after the victory.
[Please determine who will participate in the duel.]
“Six people,” Wang Feng called out the number of party members, including himself. It was good for everyone to enjoy ‘hunting.’
‘Please struggle.’
[The number of participants who will participate in the duel has been determined.]
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ VS Player ‘Wang Feng’s team of six’.]
A 20-meter-wide semicircular dome was created around Hyeonu and Wang Feng’s party. It was a temporary duel.
[The duel will start shortly.]
[5... 4... 3... 2... 1.]
The numbers decreased, and a smile appeared on everyone’s face. The phrase ‘same bed, different dreams’ couldn’t be more appropriate.
