With everyone's attention on her, Lucami said, "Ah, I just want to ask, will we still give an extra reward to whoever gets the eyes?"
Forsyx sighed and even smiled.
Damn, there were still players going for every extra thing they could gain. Well, either she was just a normal player or an award-winning top actor.
He sighed and said, "If you guys handle the prior work, I won't take the extra reward. Otherwise, those who do the dangerous work will get the extra reward."
As he said this, everyone nodded to him.
"Agreed…"
"Agreed…"
"Agreed…"
Forsyx smiled and just leaned back.
He really liked this fake desperation on everyone's face.
Heck, even Cion—the big guy from a legacy guild—said "agreed" with so much conviction.
It was like he was a starving beggar given the chance to earn bread.
Well, the conversation shifted from raid planning to how to reveal the stuff to common players.
Most of the guild players were taking the stage now. Cion and Rodium at the front, with Zanarc and Kos following behind.
It was kind of surprising to see Rodium come forward like that.
In that room, this guy seemed the calmest while others were bragging about this and that.
Well, it's not like he didn't understand.
After all, these were the top ten players, even though the old butcher had forced them to work with each other. There was a high chance that a few among them would end up part of some big organization in the local region.
In a sense, this was also a kind of networking meeting, like the ones businessmen do in real life.
Too bad he was never part of that world, so he could only compare them to what he'd heard.
They asked him one more time to call his team, but like before, he gave them the same response.
He got a few eyes, but it's not like he could call those non-existent team members.
He also understood that others would always be suspicious of him for not calling his team members, and it was the same with Lucami; she had refused, too.
Well, there was another thing: no one knew how many members others had in their team.
Including the casual players was kind of a safe bet, as he knew there must be a few who would try to kill each other for the extra reward.
In front of these guys, he had to be careful of that.
After all, he still didn't have any powerful attacking skills.
In his current state, he could only run from players of their caliber.
It didn't take long before they reached the last phase of the plan.
Cion moved to the center of the table and said, "I'll keep this meat with me."
Everyone nodded their heads.
Even those from the Radiant Guild didn't protest, making it clear to him that there was nothing special about that meat.
With that, Cion placed whatever that meat actually was in his inventory and asked, "It'll take around two hours for the information to spread. We could start the raid after that. Any problems?"
Lucami said, "Can we wait for two extra hours?"
Forsyx was the first to shake his head. "Nope, it's already noon, and the raid would take a couple of hours. If we delay any longer, it'll be too late and become dark. My birds are night-blind."
Well, all the night-blindness was nonsense, but it didn't matter.
This girl was a bloodsucker. Though they weren't as strong as vampires are, he knew they got extra buffs during the night. Who knows what kind of hidden class she was going with?
Lucami glared at him, but she couldn't say anything, as he was a major component in their plans.
Cion sighed, "Yeah, Forsyx is right. We can't wait for the night. Also, don't forget—we won't be the only ones in the forest. By nighttime, that elite boss will also get active."
For the first time, Elish supported him. "Yeah, I agree. We can't delay anymore."
Rodium got up. "Okay, I'll meet everyone at the village gate."
Zanarc also got up. "Will do the same."
One after another, everyone started leaving the room.
Forsyx also got up, but instead of leaving, he just walked to the empty front sofa and lay there.
Those who were moving out stared at him but then walked away, shaking their heads.
Though he wasn't the only one, as three others chose to follow his example.
He understood why Drakim and Lucami stayed, but even Luka stayed in the room.
With everyone gone, it became quiet.
Not caring about that, Forsyx just lay there and opened the quest panel to pass the time.
Others did the same. Well, it was a waste of time, as he was only level 3.
He could use these two hours to grind his level, but the risk wasn't worth it.
First of all, there was a chance that others would target him while he was out.
Then there was also concern over legitimacy—he had refused the offer about his team members a couple of times already.
Now, if he were to disappear, others would get suspicious of him for hiding his team members.
With the mess that was about to start, he liked to decrease as many doubts about him as possible.
What he found interesting was that those guys decided to leave Luka here.
Now he understood why Luka never came to fully support Elish.
They planned to act as good and bad cops. Well, too bad—he knew they were together.
After some time, a worker came in with some snacks, and the four of them chewed on them.
With the big quest coming up, he really needed to maintain his stamina at the top.
While eating, Drakim was the first to break the silence as he asked, "Do you guys have any plans about those eggs?"
The three of them froze at his blunt question.
Forsyx chewed the meat jerky and said, "You think we could compete against those guild guys?"
Drakim shook his head. "Don't pretend you're not part of a guild yourself."
Forsyx sighed. "Dude, you think I'd end up in 9th position if I had a guild? Though I do have doubts about how you two—" he glanced at Drakim and Luka, "finished so early when you were supposedly alone."
Drakim's smile froze for a moment, then he started laughing. "Haha, looks like we all have our secrets."
He shook his head and said, "Well, I won't beat around the bush. So let me ask, are you guys interested in working together?"
