Chapter 240

At this point, other users still did not know about Apophis.
Signs that something was about to happen were slowly spreading.
In every server and place recently, strange rumors circulated among NPCs.
“Phew, don’t even mention it. Crops are getting ruined these days because of the black snakes.”
“Not too many, but we see them occasionally.”
“They say black snakes are ominous.”
“Doesn’t sound like a good omen.”
Since everyone was talking about black snakes everywhere,
Users naturally found it suspicious.
Especially since NPCs of all level ranges across regions and servers were speaking about it.
It inevitably looked quite suspicious.
At first, even users thought it might be a quest near that area.
But then they realized it was affecting the entirety of Eternal World, not just nearby.
Experience gain messages continuously appeared.
Seeing such an easy and simple process, Seonghyun scratched his head and thought,
'Is this really okay?'
To be honest, at this level, there'd be nothing to say even if he got sanctioned.
However, Karina, who was watching from the side, smiled and said,
"It's fine. The World's Will isn't paying attention to this place right now."
"Hmm."
"It seems to be busy."
Thinking that might be the case, he just went along with it.
Well, it was right to use it until it got blocked.
After all, if this was really problematic, it would have been blocked already, or Over Palace wouldn't have allowed it, right?
Thinking that this being possible meant it was half-permitted, Seonghyun comfortably continued collecting experience.
He could just use it until a message appeared saying he could no longer gain experience from summoned demons, right?
With that thought, Seonghyun felt at ease.
There was no reason to worry before actually getting sanctioned.

The User Management Team that oversaw various users.
Naturally, since they had to manage users on the East Asian server,
The team size was quite large.
However, it was quite quiet now.
This was due to personnel being pulled for Apophis.
Since many people had already been deployed, there was a significant shortage of staff.
With so many people missing, user management was becoming inadequate.
But it couldn't be helped.
"Ughhhh!"
"Save me...!"
"No, just kill me..."
Occasionally, when seniors came to get necessary items, the things they said to their juniors while showing their faces were terrifying.
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong was also going back and forth with the Apophis team, almost dying, with his eyes becoming sunken.
Due to work that was on a completely different dimension than before,
Associate Oh Jinhyuk could only swallow and watch Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong.
Just as he was about to ask something,
"...Just focus on managing everyone from single rankers to double rankers."
"Yes, yes, understood."
"If there are any errors or issues with rankers, report immediately and make it changeable. It'll be a big problem if they exploit it to freeload in the event."
"Yes! Understood!"
Associate Oh Jinhyuk answered that way,
But Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong just passed by without much response.
As Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong left again to rejoin the Apophis team,
Associate Oh Jinhyuk, seeing Seonghyun gaining experience abnormally, thought to himself,
'User Seonghyun isn't a ranker, so let's just check other rankers~'
If Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong had heard this, he would have smiled and chosen suicide without hesitation, while Associate Oh Jinhyuk was casually looking around at rankers.
