LP: Can we really... meet a lot of us, Lai?

FG: Absolutely. Ian can meet at random. Ian also said that those of you with high Contribution Points will also give you one of his own amulets.

LP: Oh, my...! If Ian's amulet was made by himself... I can't sell it because it's not in that auction house...!

After learning crafting skills, Ian made an amulet every time he opened it.

And I was selling all the amulets with ambiguous abilities to auction houses at a certain price, and they were so popular that if I put them on auction houses, I was vomiting salt that was sold immediately.

However, Ian had so many amulets, the sale was delegated to Ian's fake Seria, and Fioran contacted Seria to give her gift to members of the fan club (?).

And this gift certainly worked.

FM: Hehe, there are amulets that we have already secured from our guild. They even have a new multi-colored amulet, a Lymung amulet.

Lauren: …! Are you sure? Shi, new identity?!

FM: Well done, Lauren. I'm sure this will be enough for you, Lovelace?

LP: Absolutely! If I could just hear Ian and a lot of people scream, I'd have a lot of fanclub members running around. Even a chance to get a new identity amulet made by Ian himself...!

FM: All right, Lauren! Well, I'll trust you.

LP: I think I should thank you, Fioran. Current episode (?), we'll give you a new rank.

FM: It's an honor, sir.

This is how the Fiolans are doing at Ian's fan club.).

Because she was also a member of the Loveleans.

At first he was a curious fan cafe, but now he was more active than anyone else.

The Fioran, who achieved her goal, mutters with a proud expression.

“Hehe, good. I knew it would work. ”

If the members of the Lovelian were to arrive, there would be no need to worry about labor.

Many of the users in the fan cafe included high-level users, so even low-level users who could hardly make it to the central continent would be able to get over with their help.

“By the way, I need to boil Ian now... ”

But a mountain to cross (?).

Exciting (?) Fioran threw a check.

“It's still an effective way to get the workforce, but will you do it without words? ”

An amulet with lots and lots of Rye symbols.

It was something that wasn't there at all.

‘Was that too spontaneous...? A lot of symbolic amulets can't be made, right? ’

Fioran looks a little anxious, but soon she shakes her head and runs toward Ian's barracks.

* * *

“So... I had a fan club? ”

“Ask me a few times, Ian. I told you.”

“And those fans were willing to help us...? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Ian sighed deeply.

“From now on, all I have to do is draw amulets all day long. ”

Seeing Ian become disheartened by the idea of not participating in the guild hunt that had been held since morning, Fioran smiled beautifully.

“Ha-ha-ha... You've been hunting for days, so I thought I'd take a break... ”

Ian sits on his right side, smiling and turns his head toward Hers, who was watching the conversation between the two of them.

“Yoohyun.”

“Huh?"

“How far is the front line now? ”

Herce slowly replies, taking the map out of his arms for a moment and checking on something.

“Hmmm... I was pushed east about 1500 meters more than I saw yesterday. ”

Ian's face frowned slightly.

“Whew, they're coming down faster than I thought. What's the status of the Desert Warriors and Neutral NPCs around here? Do you think there 'll be any attacks today? ”

There were many neutral NPCs throughout the Central Continent that were not friendly in any faction.

Desert warriors were also one of their tribes, but Magellan's signs made them a friendly tribe for the Kaimon Empire, and there were also quite a number of neutral NPCs known, such as the Crow bandits and the Scorpion Shamans.

Ian asked because he was still at peace with the Kaimon army, but he didn't know when the neutral tribes would attack him.

“Yes, there are no neutral npcs found around. You already stopped him yesterday. And even if they do, they've built a lot of defensive towers, so it's easy to stop an attack of that magnitude. ”

Fioran quickly approaches, figuring out Ian's plan to make an excuse and get out of Nogada's swamp.

“Yes. Don't worry, I can stop you without Ian. ”

“Hah... ”

Seeing Ian sigh, Fioran adds a note.

“Think you've improved your craftsmanship today... and work hard. ”

Ian opens his mouth again, thinking about something for a moment.

“Then... Fioran. ”

“Yes.”

“Please remove Michelle from the guild hunt today. ”

After Ian's sudden words, Fioran asked with a suspicious voice.

“Yes? Why? Michelle, fire magic is really helpful in broad daylight.... ”

But Ian definitely needed Michal.

“I need Michelle to make many symbols or Rai symbols... ”

“ …? ”

“If I design the emblem, it will be like a dirty puppy. ”

“Ah... If that's the case... ”

Fioran nods, remembering Michelle was a design major, and next to her, Hers smiles bloody and says a word.

“Well, spend some quality time with Michelle. ”

Ian nods, taking out one of the amulet materials from his inventory.

“Yes... ”

Since then, the fortification of the Lotus Guild's Node has been carried out.

Special events from Ian's fan club (?) spread rapidly through the official community, even before Fioran had mentioned it.

For example:

- Lots of symbolic amulets, limited edition specially created by Ian to give only to those who participated in the work!

- It is said that you will accept users from the Lotus Guild for building this Wall!

such as….

After all, Lotus Guild's Castle Building was built on site, and even though it wasn't Ian's fan club, there were some who were hunting on the nearby central continent and were curious to find the site of the Lotus Guild.

And in the middle of the construction site, Ian was having a serious conversation with someone.

“Professor, so this part can be stacked like this? ”

“Yes. It's good to have a young friend who knows what he's talking about. This place needs to be breached like this so we can isolate it easily once the enemy enters. ”

One of the two was Ian, and the other was an architecture professor and professor at the Korean University who was invited by Professor Lee Jin-wook.

“Certainly not an expert, Professor. We can stop a million troops if we really do this. ”

“Kuhaha, I like you. Did he say virtual reality and students? ”

“Yes, Professor. ”

“When this project is over, why don't you transition to our architecture department? I'd like to keep a smart person like you as my apprentice. ”

Ian wiped off his cold sweat and replied with a crawling voice.

“Well, that's a little... ”

An enormous construction site that has never existed, some small problems have arisen, and the wealth of money from the Lotus Guild is rapidly beginning to dissipate, but Ian is being built (?) and I couldn't hide my pride.

You're building faster than I thought, right? I'm sure we can make it before the line comes down here. ’

Ian climbs up to the high ground overlooking the entire area and looks down at the long wall to the west.

Then I rolled the tail of my mouth.

‘Haha, now that we can put the War Depot inside the Walls, it'll be perfect. If we build a second outer wall, we'll be well within range...' ’

It meant a lot that the War Depot was about to enter the Node.

First, the benefits of the War Depot can be monopolized in the Lotus Guild, and second, even if the Node is completely surrounded by enemies and isolated, the resource itself can be supplied.

‘If you keep defending yourself, your specialty points will accumulate. ’

In the Central Continent you can earn major points as a reward in every battle.

Even when you deal with enemy NPCs or users, the reward is even greater, so the endless war immediately leads to resource supply.

‘It was God's trick to take the Node close to the War Depot. ’

At the time, he chose a nearby Node Site just to be able to move easily, but he didn't think he would use it like this.

Ian's thinking things through at the construction site (?), and you hear him calling from behind.

“Ian!"

Ian's gaze reflectively turns back, and Lauren on his back flies quickly to Ian's side.

“Oh, hello. Lauren?"

Lauren jumps off the Wyvern's back, holding Ian's hand and answering.

“Yes, it is! How do you know me? ”

Ian looks at her, staring at her with gorgeous eyes.

“Ha, ha ha…. Lauren. Of course I remember her. I don't know any of you who are ranked No. 1 summoner. I've known for a long time, Lauren. ”

Ian's words were not empty.

He really knew Lauren a long time ago.

I even tried to find her.

"Lauren was the first to learn information about the Summoner's Egg. ’

Ian's memory is unbelievably thorough.

He remembered the name he had heard briefly on the boat across the Abyssal Lake a long time ago.

And when he said he knew himself, Lauren's two big eyes came alive.

“I didn't know Ian knew about me! By the way, I'm the number one summoner in the ranking.Everyone knows I'm Ian. ”

Seeing her tightly clinging to her side so tightly that it was too much pressure, Ian couldn't help but look at her.

“Well, is that so? ”

I was walking with Lauren for a while.

At a distance, the silhouette of a very familiar woman came into Ian's view.

“Park Jinsung, what are you doing here...? ”

And I don't know why, but Ian's face started to turn white.
