Chapter 101
"Be careful. Thank you for giving me the best experience before I close my eyes..."
LeBlanc, as if he had no regrets left in life, held Jeong-Hoon's hand and smiled serenely.
Then he told Reigner to return the gold pouch to Jeong-Hoon.
"Yes..."
Reigner obediently returned the gold pouch to Jeong-Hoon.
[That's unexpected. I thought he would throw a fit, saying why he was returning it.]
He agreed with Mukho.
Reigner had been unpleasant from the first impression until now.
His feelings for his master were noble, but that was all.
But in the end, he thanked Jeong-Hoon, saying that it was the first time he had seen his master so happy while serving him for three years.
In the end, Jeong-Hoon left the Alchemist's Street without paying anything.
Iwase was supposed to receive an additional quest from Reigner later, but neither LeBlanc nor Reigner gave him any more quests.
'Phew, it's done.'
He had even disrupted Iwase Haruto's future.
He had successfully completed two tasks in Märchen Kingdom.
Now all that was left was for the Ruined City to become a national dungeon so that more users could level up easily...
'What the hell is Michael doing?'
Michael, who had left to help Kim Bong-Goo.
The fact that his mana was decreasing at a constant rate meant that things were progressing smoothly.
But there was still no news of him clearing the Ruined City.
[Maybe he can't clear it? I can tell just by looking at him.]
That would be the case if Michael wasn't there.
"He'll be fine. He's not fighting monsters, he's just clearing it using cheat codes."
'Hmm... That's why I'm even more worried.'
"If it doesn't work, we'll have to beat up Michael."
It was a very simple problem.
[Isn't that too harsh in a place like that?]
It couldn't be helped.
Jeong-Hoon was already planning his next move.
The party quest, called the flower of the Märchen Kingdom.
That party quest required a minimum of 3 party members, and all party members had to be between levels 155 and 200, so Kim Bong-Goo had to hurry up and clear the Ruined City.
* * *
At that time.
The middle of the Ruined City.
Kim Bong-Goo was busy tapping the walls where the cheat codes were hidden while confronting the golems.
"Ugh!"
"Hey! That's not it! Can't you see properly?!"
Michael was floating in the air, summoning ghosts and supervising him.
Only Kim Bong-Goo was recorded as the one challenging the dungeon.
This was because Michael was classified as a summon.
Therefore, the golems targeted Kim Bong-Goo.
Thanks to that, Kim Bong-Goo had died two more times even though he was with Michael.
If he failed this time, it would be really dangerous.
He might even exceed the one-week deadline he had promised Jeong-Hoon.
'I'm dead...'
Users who had been through Märchen Kingdom were mostly dumbfounded.
[Wow! I leveled up by 3!]
- That video already cleared the hidden quest, so if you just find the guys with the mark and drag them to the temple, you get 3 levels up hahahahaha
└ It's true lol
└ I was 187, but after going to the Ruined City once, I reached 201 lol Time to go for my 3rd class advancement!
└ I reached 190!
└ Wow lol Leveling up is so hard, but here we get to experience the miracle of gaining 10 levels lol
└ It's really crazy lol
└ But I heard the 10 level up is first-come, first-served lol Only those who watched Honey Tube are getting the honey lol
[Ah shit, I missed the LIVE ㅡㅡ]
- Can someone who watched the LIVE please carry me?
└ Okay, let's go together, 20 gold
└ I'll take you for 19 gold!
Parties clearing the Ruined City were popping up everywhere, but Kim Bong-Goo was still struggling in the middle.
The reason was simple.
He had memorized it in his head, but that crazy Michael was chattering behind him, making it hard to concentrate and remember.
"Ah, shut up!"
"What, you bastard?!"
"Fuck, I can't concentrate."
"You damn mutt! You're finally showing your true colors. Yeah! Die here! Die by exceeding the deadline you promised the master!"
Michael giggled, imagining Kim Bong-Goo's demise.
That was when it happened.
[Hey, can you hear me?]
Jeong-Hoon's voice reached Michael.
Michael straightened his back and answered loudly.
"Yes! I can hear you loud and clear!"
Kim Bong-Goo looked at him with a dumbfounded expression at his 180-degree change in attitude.
"Isn't he just crazy?"
When Jeong-Hoon had sent Michael here, he had thought clearing it would be easier.
Michael's necromancy that he had seen in the previous event.
With that, he should be able to easily handle the cheat codes.
But instead of helping, Michael was busy chattering behind him, saying he was going to train Kim Bong-Goo.
Even if he was Jeong-Hoon's summon, wasn't that too much?!
"Yes! Understood!"
But Michael, as if he had heard something, turned pale and started using necromancy.
Then he found the cheat code in the middle and neutralized the golems.
"Huh?"
[Monsters are disappearing.]
[Quest in progress.]
[A large amount of experience points are being accumulated.]
Messages about experience points being accumulated appeared one after another in front of Kim Bong-Goo's eyes.
"What are you doing! Move forward quickly!"
Michael urged Kim Bong-Goo to move forward, as if he was in a hurry.
"...Ah, I get it now. If we don't clear this, it's not me who's going to die, but you, right?"
Flinch.
He was right.
Kim Bong-Goo finally smiled a devilish smile.
Michael gritted his teeth at his triumphant look.
"You, do you know who I am to act so arrogantly?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Michael, the greatest necromancer of this era! I'm not someone to be compared to a lowly curse caster like you!"
"C-Curse caster?"
Kim Bong-Goo's face was filled with bewilderment.
A curse caster out of nowhere?
What the hell did he think he was?
"Yes! You damn bastard!"
"...Then let's each go our own way. You die, and I die!"
At this point, it was all or nothing.
He was afraid of Jeong-Hoon, but he wanted to see this bastard suffer first.
That way, the negotiations for his melted ears from all the nagging would go smoothly.
"That's not happening!"
Michael hurriedly made an X with his hands.
"Why not?"
"That's..."
Michael relayed Jeong-Hoon's words exactly as he had said them.
[If you don't clear it with Kim Bong-Goo, I won't let you off easy.]
What...?
[I'll show you how long my grudge lasts. If you want to suffer for the rest of your life, take your time and come back.]
In other words, it meant that he wouldn't kill him at once, but would torment him forever.
"Crazy..."
Kim Bong-Goo's face also turned pale.
He had already experienced how deep Jeong-Hoon's grudge ran.
It was a good thing he had knelt and apologized.
Otherwise, he would have been on the verge of a permanent ban.
Even Hong Hyun-Woo was still suspended.
He had said that he would suspend him again after the suspension was lifted and send him to a permanent ban, so it wasn't a lie.
"...So? Are you still going to die and let me die?"
"Let's form a temporary alliance..."
In the end, Kim Bong-Goo held out his hand.
Michael quickly grabbed it.
"Damn you. Alright. Let's clear this quickly and go back."
"R-Really."
* * *
A few hours after warning Michael.
Two people came running towards the table where Jeong-Hoon was sitting.
It was Kim Bong-Goo and Michael.
"I'm sorry we're late..."
"We've arrived."
As expected, threats worked best.
"The dungeon?"
Jeong-Hoon checked Kim Bong-Goo's information.
===
[Player Information]
- Nickname: SaltySoup4Mom
- Level: 166
- Class: Assassin (2nd Class)
===
Kim Bong-Goo's level had become 166, as if he had completed all the quests.
"I cleared it. The quest gave me 10 levels."
"Okay. Good job."
Jeong-Hoon whispered to Ha-Jin that he could send the recording.
A whisper quickly arrived.
[Whisper/zl-Zone-Ha-Jin12 -> Hoon: Okay! Sending it to Dae-Hwi right away!]
[Whisper/Hoon -> zl-Zone-Ha-Jin12: Okay, then keep some time free tomorrow.]
[Whisper/zl-Zone-Ha-Jin12 -> Hoon: Tomorrow? I have nothing then! I'm completely free, so let's meet then!]
[Whisper/Hoon -> zl-Zone-Ha-Jin12: Good.]
Ha-Jin was taken care of.
Now it was this guy's turn.
Jeong-Hoon looked Kim Bong-Goo up and down.
Kim Bong-Goo started to act tired.
As if he was so precarious that he might collapse and be taken to the emergency room if he didn't log out right away.
Then he slowly opened his mouth.
"I... I finished the Ruined City, so can't I rest now...?"
"You did well."
"Thank you... Then I'll go rest..."
"Okay. See you next time."
"...Huh?"
Kim Bong-Goo's eyes, which had been half-closed from acting, opened wide.
[That crazy bastard. If he went to an audition with that acting, he'd definitely get slapped. He needs to be slapped a couple of times and thrown out to come to his senses.]
Mukho's voice trembled slightly, as if he was creeped out.
Jeong-Hoon maintained a blank expression and continued,
"You'll die if you act?"
"I'm sorry!"
Kim Bong-Goo, who had been pretending to be dying, straightened his back and corrected his posture.
"...So you were acting?"
"..."
"Anyway, you did well today, so you can go back and rest."
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work."
Kim Bong-Goo hurriedly tried to log out.
"I'll contact you later, so see you then."
But in Jeong-Hoon's words, Kim Bong-Goo froze.
"Later...?"
Damn it!
Was there something else left?
"Did you think it was over?"
"...Haha, no. Please contact me anytime!"
"So, can I get your contact information?"
"My contact information...?"
Kim Bong-Goo slowly asked back, his brain spinning rapidly.
If he gave it to him, he would be crossing a river of no return.
But his brain, which he had never used in his life, couldn't function properly.
Not a single decent idea came to mind.
"Why? You don't want to?"
Jeong-Hoon's lips twisted into a smirk.
This relationship was formed due to his own mistake in the first place.
He had declared that he would do anything Jeong-Hoon asked, so there was no way to escape.
"I'll give it to you..."
Kim Bong-Goo handed over his contact information to Jeong-Hoon, inwardly crying.
* * *
Earth Korea Management Team.
Even though it was late at night, Manager Oh Jin-Soo was still at the company.
All the staff had left work.
He was sitting blankly in his seat, lost in thought.
'What the hell is that guy?'
The recent trap bug in Fruhneum.
A trap had suddenly appeared, and a few users had been caught up in it. In the process, even logging out had become impossible, making it the worst bug ever.
Even now, his heart chilled whenever he looked at the record.
Anyway, the headquarters had sent a direct apology, and the management team of the affected server wanted to find the cause of the bug.
[Situation resolved]
[The management team should stop paying attention to this incident]
But the headquarters had tied their hands and feet before the management team could even start working.
"Manager..."
"This bug... I think that user got rid of it himself."
But they were able to find out who got rid of the bug.
The user who had recently shocked the management team repeatedly.
That user had eliminated the bug.
A user who kept causing incidents that they couldn't help but pay attention to, even though they tried to stop.
And that wasn't all.
"This is driving me crazy... Was it possible to clear the Ruined City like that?"
The user had even cleared the Ruined City.
And not even by clearing it properly, but by using the bugs hidden in the city.
"What's that?"
What he got after clearing the Ruined City was none other than the Ancient Recipe.
He was puzzled by the appearance of the undecipherable recipe, but when he saw the user obtaining a Legendary skill through the alchemist, he dropped his coffee.
"This is crazy... This is crazy!"
It wasn't just any Legendary skill.
It was an overwhelming enhancement skill that would drive enhancers to their deaths.
A skill that could completely overturn the current equipment meta had appeared.
