Haroon

Whew, I was gonna page you if I didn't show up today.

As soon as he returns to reality, perhaps he has been eagerly waiting, Bell slaps him in the face. I left the capsule and looked out the window, and it was afternoon.

The sun, which appeared to spread out of the opaque barrier, tilted much westward.

“Sorry. I was thinking about it, but things keep happening. ”

- Most of the medicines are out of supplies. I have to go to the black market soon.

“That's why I came out. ”

At first, I had no choice but to look at Bell, but I had to do it from the beginning.

Harun simply showers and leaves the house.

Immediately, the cloudy sand breeze struck his face through the hood.

I felt much worse than before. There was a lot of dirt and sand growing in the streets.

“Reality really doesn't adapt. ”

Harun's imagination of reality and Beyond being swapped for some nonsense, followed by a messenger walking skill.

As expected from Beyond, Fly Walking, a three-step skill, his body begins to rush through the sand at a rapid pace.

‘Clearly the amount of chi coming through your feet is not a joke. It's almost ten times more than the game. ’

However, I could feel the energy presumed to be the Qi rising on my thighs, but after that, it disappeared as if I was drowning in the sea.

I wondered what was going on inside my body.

‘Well, maybe one day you will. ’

What is certain is that by accepting the vivid energies that seem to be visible, physical abilities are increasing in a certain way.

Without feeling fatigue easily, the senses of the whole body were always in optimum condition. He changed so much that it was impossible to compare with him before.

The dry body type remained unchanged, but the power from well-developed muscles became strong enough to break even concrete walls.

It was also just before work time, but the distance occupied by dust and sand to the point where the ankles fell.

The thick piles of dust and sand rose up like waves and roamed the streets.

In between, Harun, wrapped in a long coat and scarf, was running like he was walking on water.

It would have been a scream if anyone had seen it, but unfortunately, no one was watching or wandering the streets full of dust and sand winds.

Harun arrived at the black market in less than five minutes. The power of Fly Walking skill was truly great.

Whether it was time or not, the black market was more free than the last time. The herb was so urgent that I couldn't bear to watch.

Harun, who used to go to the forge ‘Harpoon’ because he had come here once, couldn't see the Harpoon sisters because he didn't promise in advance.

He looks funny, trusting only her. If there are no nausea eggs, then it is obvious that you will need to buy things this way, or it will be a conflict later on.

“Don't worry. I'll show you. I wanted to repay that favor somehow. ”

Harlan's older brother stepped out. His name was Baran.

“Thank you. Actually, I have to buy it today. ”

Thank God for that.

Ever since I was a very young child, I hope that growing up here as a playground, I did not bargain much, but the merchants only got a minimum price.

I didn't know it at first, but I could see it a few times after I watched it bargain with others.

“Bargaining is fine, but it's more important to be happy with each other. I think most things are worth the price. ”

“I think you're right. ”

I don't completely agree, but in general, he was right.

It was true that the person who bought the same item at an expensive price saved that much and used it for a long time, but the person who bought it cheap treated it harshly and did not use it for a long time.

Other things were easy to buy, but some of the ginseng and other medicines were not as available as they desired. I went through all the herbal statues, but no ginseng was aged for more than 100 years. I was only 50 years old. There was only one root.

So I bought as much as I could and put in a reservation for the rest of the shortages.

The total cost was 16 million won. I thought about it, but Harun really had a lot of money. It costs close to KRW 30 million, considering that he's booked more than 100 years old.

The cash was withdrawn from the account that was insufficient because the terminal connected to the bank was all over the black market.

‘Phew, I thought I made a lot of money, but I spent it in one moment. This way, you'll have to accept the current quest. ’

Harun's face stiffened with joy that he had earned a fortune he could never touch in his lifetime.

I calculated roughly in my mind that the money he earned during the game was KRW 7 million in black transactions and KRW 24 million in return for the quest.

The last time I bought groceries, I bought a million won, and this time I saw that there was nothing left.

As I played it right now, I regained my mind when I concluded that I still needed to make a lot of money to match the realities of leveling up or improving my skills in Beyond.

Harun, who had three backpacks of hundreds of medicinal ingredients, bought a medicinal herb that had been made into a rare herb in a street stall.

I couldn't just let him go, thanks to Baran's abandonment and his help.

“Union's air is not good these days. ”

“Why?”

He looks around for a moment and sees that no one is listening to their story, then whispers in a small voice.

“Rumor has it the barrier has weakened. ”

“Barrier?”

I've never heard that before.

“There have been rumors of Hark and the Desert Wolves frequenting District F. Quite a few victims. ”

“What about the guards?”

“They're the ones who always play the back drums. ”

“If what you're saying is true, I'm sure things will get worse. ”

“That's why even the competition here isn't the same anymore. Every day has its own number of guests. Hark showed up twice since then. ”

“Is that so?"

It was definitely weird.

“Food streets once, meatloaf ambushed, lots of food, not a few of them died, but the merchants are less shaken because they're scared. ”

His face was serious. He was also a blacksmith and a merchant.

“There seems to be a problem with the power plants that are powering the barrier, as rumored to be highly toxic in the evening. Or there's a problem with the Union defense system. Anyway, we don't officially mention it at Union at all, but don't wander around at night. ”

“Very well. Thank you for your concern. ”

It's time to wake up. Since we bought groceries together and took them away for a precious time, I thought I'd have to live with myself once if I met him later.

“I think Harlan would like to meet you, so please call him. And now that I've sent word in person asking to stop by my village in a little while, you can contact Harlan through something called the game. ”

“Yes.”

Harun received a letter from Harun's brother with an email address and a multifunctional computer number before the breakup.

When I returned home and checked the time, it didn't take me more than three hours. It was really convenient because it took less than 10 minutes to get back and forth.

Bell's face lit up when she saw the medicinal ingredients. I thought I was being restless.

Harun had a long conversation with Bell, who had filled the hole in the capsule with all kinds of medicinal ingredients, just like he had filled the groceries the other day.

Harun had a long conversation with Bell about their reactions to the Golden Battle, the power panel, and the trend, and when it was evening time, he found the essence.

I had previously been told by Jin to live a regular life for health. The decimal use of supply capsules without automatic nutritional supplies was said to connect regularly for health and life rhythms.

“Welcome. ”

Indeed, Jinsu was logged out for dinner.

“I was just about to eat. Let's eat together. ”

“Yes.”

The dinner dish prepared by Jin was scrambled beef stew. Harun, who had seen rice and stew for the first time since he started Beyond, was able to eat well even though it was a cheap ingredient.

“So, how many levels have you leveled up? ”

“What about you?”

“Me? Huh, don't be surprised. This body is already over 50. Well, you can't be a ranker after all. ”

“Wow! That's amazing. ”

Just when I met him, it was only 34, but in between, I posted 16. It was great. It was evidence that he was very determined and all-in on the game.

“Luckily, I found a dungeon. The dungeons are full of ghosts, so I had a hard time at first, but my level rose rapidly. His buddies are the High Septon, so he took the damage right. I'm already challenging the 10th Clear. ”

“I envy you. I'm just over 40. ”

I was somewhat embarrassed, but the truth about the level was very surprised.

“Oh! How did you do that? Did you find the dungeon, too? ”

I wasn't thinking about it, but I had just met Jin before.

In that short period of time, it was natural for him to reach a level of 30.

“That's not it……. You know you're a mercenary, right? Because the crew is experienced and highly skilled, the confused monsters are ridiculed. I've learned a lot from them, and I'm getting better at it. And I did the dishes a few times, thanks to a close colleague. ”

The term dishwasher refers to taking half of the EXP from a monster whose life was spared by the attack of his colleagues.

“I see you've met some good colleagues. Anyway, I'm glad you're doing well with your level up. ”

Jinsu was jealous, but she liked it as much as she did her job.

“So, have you chosen a Golden Battle candidate? ”

“No, not yet. I'm gathering information because I think it's best to make a careful decision if not in the first place. ”

“But it seems like guilds are made for each Union. ”

“Yes. Very much so. Humans who don't want to look like them want to make a guild and pretend to be real, but I don't like it. ”

The majority of Union residents who were not affiliated with Nobles, such as the decisive response, had not yet determined which guild or Golden Battle to join.

“I'd rather quit the game than see Beyond like that. Don't you think?”

“That's right."

Harun confronts the quarterly leader.

“I'm going to join a guild that has nothing to do with Nobles or create a small guild between people close to me and my friends. Jumping into the Golden Battle alone is like hitting a rock with an egg if you're a top ranker above level 70. ”

“Maybe so. ”

Harun talks about Bjorn's reign with Jin for a while and returns home.

The conversation gave me a sense of what the majority of users had in mind and where they would play in the future.

It was also important to walk to the idea of gaining strong power, but Harun, who played Beyond so uniquely, was usually curious about the mindset, behavioral patterns, and everyday information of his users.

Harun, who was preparing to access Beyond, asked Bell unexpectedly.

- Brother, let me do a genetic search.

“Genetic research? Don't you already know that? ”

Bell grips his hand with eager eyes because of Harun's greeting.

- Yeah, but I wanted to look into it in more detail. Genetic, genetic, knowledge levels developed extremely in the last days, but lost a lot during the end of the war and the Dark Ages. I'm studying the knowledge my mother left me, but there's a lot I don't understand. I think we need to look closely at the information in the genes and the internal and external expression of my brother.

I did not adapt a bit to the very academic look, but there was no reason not to listen to Belle, whom she loved and cherished as her sister.

“Really? Then do it. But what am I supposed to do? ”

- You just need to lie down comfortably. I don't care if you sleep or what you do.

“If that's the case, shouldn't we do it when I log on to Beyond? ”

- It's a little different. Connecting to your entire nervous system electromagnetically takes a lot of load to support the game. Moreover, for a brother with a high sync rate, if you don't check it in real time, something bad is likely to happen.

When I played the game in one word, I couldn't take my eyes off him.

“I see. Then I'll sigh while I'm at it. Wake me up on my own." ”

- Yes, brother.

Harun closes his eyes and falls into a deep sleep shortly after.

Bell's auto-nourishing supplies made his head very tired, not only in the body with a higher metabolism than normal people, but also in a position to habitually stay in a strong concentration state for longer.
