“From now on, I will destroy Wings Online and this world without a trace!”
… … but he shouted it out loud.
It was not possible to invade the Old Continent right away.
Item farming and leveling were done, but a little more preparation was needed.
Above all, all the guild members were sick from overwork. The harsh farming over the past week had completely eaten away at their health.
Everyone was sick with body aches and had to take a rest.
Mincheol was no exception. He let out a groan while lying on his back on the bed.
“Ugh… … I have to destroy Wings… … .”
– … … The porridge has been delivered, sir. Try it.
Mincheol muttered with his eyes half-closed as he barely managed to eat the porridge he had ordered online from Oasis.
“I keep playing games like this at this age… … It’s eventually going to hurt my body… … .”
– Huh? How old are you, master?
“It’s 6.6 times more than yours… … Oh my, my back.”
– How can someone that old be this old these days? It’s almost the 2040s! The average life expectancy is 120 years!
“Once you turn 30, your whole body starts to hurt… … That’s enough. Oh, my head hurts too.”
After eating porridge and taking medicine, Mincheol fell back into bed.
And then he started sleeping like he was dead.
Oasis sighed inwardly as she watched Mincheol in pain.
‘If I had a body… …I could take care of you, Master.’
I had another thought that I had had hundreds of times, an impossible thought.
All Oasis could do in reality was order cooking kits and various nutritional supplements that only needed to be heated.
‘What else can I do… … .’
While the other members are recuperating, I will probably just be observing and organizing the internal dynamics of Wings Online.
Oasis began to calmly level up his life skills within the game and collect information on the status of Season 6 from online bulletin boards and broadcast sites.
* * *
“Ugh~ I think I’ll live a little.”
Mincheol, who had been sleeping for almost 24 hours, finally got up.
My forehead was still hot and my legs were shaking, but I felt better.
“Khaha~!”
After taking a hot shower and drinking a glass of cold water, I walked slowly over to sit down at the capsule PC.
“Oasis, connecting. Where are the other members?”
– No one has logged in yet. I guess they are resting. Oh, Mr. Cain is online.
“That guy has good stamina too… … .”
After all, being young is the best. I grumbled and started playing Wings Online.
The login opening has been changed for Season 6.
As the newly revamped OST began to play, ships were seen anchoring at Twilight Port, the starting point of the new continent, Bethelus.
The waves splashed water droplets across the screen, and the game title appeared between them.
WINGS ONLINE
A knight in black armor appeared on the harbor embankment below the title.
The knight’s face, covered by his dark blue robe, was hidden by the darkness inside his hood.
Below the article, there was a status bar.
User ID: Labo
– Occupation: Demon King
– Character Lv: 100
– Item Lv: 1,100
– Final connection point: Dark Cult Temple
Character level 100. Item level 1,100.
It was truly a beautiful number. Mincheol smiled with satisfaction and opened his mouth.
“log in.”
When Mincheol chose Labo, Labo turned around, waving his robe once, and walked into the port inside the title screen.
Start avatar sync
Mincheol’s body flew away as if it was being dragged and overlapped with Labo’s body.
Avatar synchronization complete. Connecting.
Adventurers, I hope you have a pleasant adventure.
The moment Mincheol’s body completely overlapped Labo’s, the screen turned black.
“hmm…….”
Labo opened his eyes.
It was inside the audience room of the Dark Cult temple. Labo glanced back.
On the throne, the skeletal form of Crow still sat.
“Keep up the good work, Mr. Idol.”
With a wave of his hand, Labo left the audience room.
When you leave the audience room and walk down the hallway, you come to a spacious hall. There, an oasis awaits Labo.
“You are here, master!”
Oasis greeted Labo, jumping up like a puppy.
A newly equipped skin. The two horns protruding from his forehead gave him the appearance of a little devil, but it was a mismatch with his pure white priestly robes.
That part was actually fun though.
“Are you feeling better now?”

Oasis tilted his head to the side slightly and opened his large eyes wide.
Labo thought to himself without realizing it, “He looks like a squirming puppy.”
“Yeah, I feel a little better now that I’ve had some rest… … Where’s Cain?”
“You’re playing scarecrow in the Paradise Lost occupied area. You said you need to know your exact damage.”
“What an honest guy… … .”
While Labo was expressing admiration, Oasis brought a piece of paper from the side while groaning.
“While the master was resting, I organized the progress of other users in the New World.”
“Oh, good job. Explain it to me.”
Oasis began his explanation by pointing at a map of the New World drawn on a piece of paper.
“First of all, the leading guild is the ‘Crimson Crusaders’. After declaring their transformation into a notorious guild, they became the representative of the outlaw forces.”
“Those guys, it was worth it to work so hard on the show.”
“Yes, it is said that after the broadcast, outlaws naturally gathered under him. Guild Master Changdu is currently at level 94 and is stationed at the third occupied area, ‘Sasaugwan (死囚關)’.”
“It’s only been a few days and we’ve already conquered our third territory?”
It was only ten days into Season 6, and a year’s worth of content was being consumed in just a few days.
Labo clicked his tongue and swept his chin with his hand.
“The leader is an outlaw group… … It looks like the regular users are having a hard time.”
“Yes, because there are no guard NPCs in the New World… … it seems that PK and dungeon monopolization are taking place in various places.”
Oasis turned on the incident bulletin board on the Wings Online homepage and showed it to Labo. Posts were being uploaded in real time.
Labo, who had been looking at a few posts, let out a hollow laugh.
“Haha, this is a mess… … .”
“That’s why the user-based vigilante group, the ‘Freedom Knights’ Association,’ is gaining strength. They’re receiving a lot of support, and they’re temporarily opening up guild membership to expand their power and form a security force.”
Oasis marked the second capture point on the map.
“The Free Knights League is currently based on the second occupied territory, ‘Hill of Opportunity.’ It was originally occupied by the Crimson Crusaders, but they attacked and took it away.”
“Huh? What? A siege has already begun in the occupied territory? It hasn’t even been ten days?”
“Yes, it happened just two days ago.”
It was when Labo had been unconscious for a while.
Labo clicked his tongue as if it was a waste.
“Oh, what a shame. It would have been so much fun to watch it live.”
“If you add up the number of viewers who watched the siege live, it easily exceeded 10 million. It’s almost like a martial arts competition viewership rating… … .”
“I guess I’ll have to find the clip and watch it later.”
Oasis continued to explain to Labo, who was looking very sorry.
“In addition, several raiding guilds that do not belong to either faction are exploring the New Continent.”
The little hands of Oasis pointed to the north and south of the map this time.
“The guild ranked first in the raiding party, ‘Armada Invencible’, and the guild ranked third, ‘Gagapyoguk’, are ahead. The Armada has taken four temporary occupied areas in the north, and Gagapyoguk has taken two in the south.”
Temporary Occupation Zones are small-scale occupation zones scattered across the north and south of the New Continent.
Although smaller than the 10 main occupied areas that run from west to east across the center of the continent, they can be built in places where users need a hub for their activities and serve as small strongholds.
“What, when did Gagapyo Country get to 3rd place again?”
Although he was familiar with the Invincible Fleet in first place and the Crimson Crusaders in second place, Labo was surprised to hear that the Gagapyo Nation had risen to third place.
As the name suggests, Gagapyoguk is a Pyoguk guild.
It can be said to be a quick delivery and security company that performs product delivery and escort work within Wings Online.
All members are ‘sleepers’ who earn money from games, and it’s always been a guild that’s in the top 10, but it’s suddenly in 3rd place.
“Because this guild is accustomed to PK disputes, it seems that they have gained a strong position in the New Continent where PVP reigns supreme. They are temporarily putting aside their delivery escort work and focusing their efforts on developing the New Continent… … .”
“Huh, I really didn’t expect that.”
“And apart from the raid rankings, there is a guild that has suddenly become famous… … the ‘Hunter’s Cooperative’.”
Oasis’ expression hardened a little as he spoke.
“It’s a guild that was created with bounty hunters as its core, and it was newly established for Season 6. Since PK specialists are gathered here, they’re showing remarkable performance in the New Continent.”
“Are you hunting for notorious users in the New World? You’re like half water and half fish to them.”
“Yes, they are capturing infamous users and dragging them to the Old Continent to collect the bounty money… … .”
Hoo, Labo who made a sound looked into the information of the ‘Hunter’s Cooperative’ guild.
Guild: Hunters’ Cooperative
Guild Master: Sloth
Sub Guild Master: Grizzly, Panda
… … The two guild masters, their names were familiar to me somewhere.
When Labo glanced to the side, Oasis nodded with a pale face.
“… … Yes, it seems they are the hunters we clashed with before.”
“Hmm, I’d like to face you sometime. I’d like to see you grow as well… … .”
That was the extent of the explanation.
Oasis cleared away the cardboard.
“This is the current situation in the New World. That’s the end of the explanation!”
“It’s going so well. It’s truly the Warring States Period.”
“That’s right. Oh! And I have something else to report to you.”
Oasis opened his warehouse and showed it to Labo.
“I bought all the iron ore with the 1 million gold you gave me. At 5 gold each.”
As Labo had instructed, Oasis bought all the iron ore for 5 gold each.
By purchasing iron ore for 1 million gold, excluding the warehouse expansion cost and exchange fee, I was able to secure a quantity of just under 200,000.
The remaining iron ore stock on the exchange was swept clean to the floor.
“But now the price of iron ore has collapsed from the 5 gold level to 4 gold and 50 silver… … Master, is everything okay?”
Oasis asked with concern.
Moonstone, a new metal discovered in the New World.
In the new equipment recipes for level 90 and above added in Season 6, all iron ores have been removed and replaced with moonstone.
Of course, there was chaos.
Iron ore, which used to be worth more than 10 gold each, plummeted in price, and miners who couldn’t even cover their labor costs all left the iron ore mines.
All iron ore processing production lines have also been halted.
In the New World, there was a fierce struggle for power over the moonstone mines. Armed conflicts broke out one after another in the moonstone mines near the early occupied territories.
There were as many as five moonstone mines near the third occupied area, ‘Sasugwan’. The lawless users were having a lot of fun.
In this situation, how can you buy iron ore?
What on earth was his master thinking? Oasis had no idea.
However, as if he had expected it, Labo smiled leisurely and stroked Oasis’s head.
“Don’t worry. It’s all as expected. Oh, and what’s the current cash price of gold?”
“that is…….”
Oasis trailed off in response to Labo’s question.
“Usually when a season starts, the cash value of gold skyrockets as the number of users increases. However.”
Oasis, who quickly checked the market price, spoke heavily.
“It is barely maintaining its previous value. Even that is on the decline.”
As cash items were introduced, they began to replace many in-game items purchased with gold, and naturally the value of gold itself began to fall.
“It’s holding on because there’s an influx of new users, but when the influx effect disappears and the demand for gold decreases… … I expect the value of gold to fall further.”
This was a phenomenon that occasionally appeared in games where cash items were added after they were not previously available.
As in-game goods become more interchangeable with cash, the value of in-game currency plummets.
“hmm…….”
A faint exclamation of admiration came out of Labo’s mouth as he looked at various diagrams with Oasis.
“It’s going according to plan.”
The inside of Labo’s hood was hidden in the darkness, but Oasis thought that Labo must be smiling.
But… … why?
How on earth does Labo plan to take advantage of this situation?
For Oasis, who was not omniscient like Labo in this game, the current situation was just bewildering.
