Within the Game World on the main island, players are matched for battles.

Jinpan sat atop a hill beside a river, overlooking the surrounding environment from his vantage point.

Right now, he is teaming up with several gang members to fight against five enemy members.

His appearance changed, and he selected a jungler champion, Graves, using a card.

He was holding a shotgun with a very rugged shape, and his clothes and appearance were quite different from his own. This was just a change in appearance, and the player did not feel uncomfortable or out of place. It did not affect his limbs or movements in any way.

However, after entering the game, he found that his abilities were completely suppressed, almost sealed, as an effect of the game rules... This was the case for all players in both the red and blue factions; they needed to grow stronger through the game.

Gain experience points and purchase equipment, then destroy the enemy's base crystal...

This way of playing is very interesting.

Most importantly, the five people in the same group can also have a spiritual exchange... no matter how far apart they are.

His ID name and level floated above his head; he was currently level 3.

In the distance, on a wide road where Minion from both sides were fighting, one of his teammates was battling an enemy. However, because he was not very familiar with the hero's skills, the two fought clumsily and comically in Jin's eyes.

According to the map, the area he was approaching was the middle lane of the game.

The opposing jungler appeared in the top lane, making it a 2v1 situation.

The situation is not optimistic.

As a result, in Jin's mind, his teammates on the top lane were constantly cursing, and he had no idea what Jin was up to.

"Well..."

Jin let out a soft sigh, intentionally ignoring his teammates' greetings.

Gangsters are all hot-tempered... He promised to help these four win the game before they agreed to team up with him.

In Jin's opinion, the enemy jungler's strategy was completely flawed... Clearly, resources in this game are limited, and the word 'jungle' already reveals some clues. Moreover, considering the leveling mechanism, to level up quickly, it's best to allocate resources wisely and shorten the time it takes to gain an advantage.

The role of a jungler is to clear out these Magical Beasts -like creatures in the mountains.

This way, the terrain created in the game is more reasonable; otherwise, there's no need to create these areas.

These gangsters' Nen user are just messing around...

Very interesting! Jin gave his review after only a short time in the game.

This game, though simple, is incredibly fun... It tests the intellect and operational strategies of both teams, as well as teamwork and other aspects, and also puts individual thinking to the test.

Moreover, these heroic characters, along with the terrifying creatures in the wild... are all very distinctive.

This is something most people wouldn't think of.

All of this stems from Oboro's creativity.

This made him look at the situation in a new light.

It's important to know that even much of the game content on Greed Island wasn't solely handled by Jin; his other partners also participated and offered many suggestions... In this respect, he was actually slightly inferior to Oboro.

"But..."

Jin ran swiftly down from the mountaintop, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger at several Raptor perched at the foot of the mountain, causing the huge birds of prey to pounce on him instantly.

Jin turned and ran, creating distance as he aimed and fired... all the while, he still had the energy to think about other things.

Hazy...

I visited Whale Island several years ago, which means I knew about its existence a long time ago.

At that time, Oboro probably hadn't joined the Association yet.

Based on this, how did he know? Did Oboro's purpose in joining the Association include him, besides the old man and a few others? Jin doesn't believe that Oboro went to Whale Island unintentionally without any intention.

President, Biscuit, Pariston ...

Jin flipped over to avoid a shadow swooping down from the sky and squinted.

At the right moment, use the hero skill "Desperate Strike," which is Graves' Q skill. A more intense burst of smoke and fire erupts from the barrel, making a loud noise and leaving a trail of burn marks on the spot. The shotgun pellets then quickly bounce back along the same path, causing secondary damage.

"Huh? It also has a slowing effect..."

Jin noticed that the Raptor that had been hit was screaming and its movements had become stiff, which made him feel excited.

Feeling happy...

The game is also very detailed.

Each ability has additional effects... You need to be thoroughly familiar with them.

Then, the analysis continued.

Netero had hinted that... something had piqued Pariston's interest, but the old man didn't explicitly say who was better between the two.

For the chairman, what he preferred was watching a play.

They stood by and watched the show.

At least, judging from the years since Oboro joined the Association... Pariston did not succeed.

Long chose the same method as himself: to ignore it.

And stay away from...

This was an extremely wise decision, and Kim himself did the same.

He always treated Pariston like he didn't exist...

Jin found it troublesome... while he thought that Oboro was more disdainful.

If they start fighting, the old man usually won't get involved, unless it gets really serious.

It was precisely because of Netero that the two sides were unable to truly 'fight to the bitter end,' so... it would have been better not to enter the fray in the first place and not to play into Pariston's hands.

That guy is eager for someone to fight him... The more people hate him, the happier he is.

Pariston enjoys destroying anything that looks good.

What is beauty?

The Association enjoys internal peace, has talented individuals with bright futures, and possesses good looks and superior personalities, among other things.

Pariston wanted to destroy anything he deemed good.

Furthermore, the president also mentioned that even Biscuit couldn't handle Oboro and often sulked.

Taking all of the above into account, Jin came to the conclusion that Oboro... was very familiar with them.

His appearance on Hero Island and his eventual agreement to make a deal with Oboro all seemed to be within the latter's expectations.

It was precisely because I understood his personality.

"Perhaps... he already knew about some of the important figures in the Association from a very early time, earlier than anyone imagined. And one thing is certain: he couldn't have done all this by simply using the mafia... Moreover, his skill in Nen was already evident when he first met Biscuit at the Heavens Arena; he possessed an unparalleled level of ability."

After dealing with a flock of Raptor, a warm golden light rose from his body.

Jin has been promoted to level 4.

Looking at the player's profile screen, seeing the number of gold coins fluctuating...

A word came to mind.

Omniscient and omnipotent.

Jin remained calm and showed no shock at the results of his analysis.

Although absurd, it is not entirely without credibility.

Another point that can be explained is Oboro's understanding of the Dark Continent, which he definitely has never been to.

Some of the secrets were so hidden that even he only learned about them many years after joining the Association.

"You started planning a long time ago, and every step you took was prescient... This game is the same. The Player Agreement is a contract, and all plans originate from your personal will. There are no hidden people or forces behind you... So, where does your omniscience and omnipotence come from?"

That land?

Jin looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

I was going to post both chapters together, but I made a mistake copying them without noticing. Ugh.
