Level Up

Choi Changsoo stares at the fallen vine ghost. Then you turn your head to look at the stone that is slowly coming this way over the hill.

“Brother, what is this? ”

One day, I asked her with a silly look on her face.

“Yeah. What is this? It's only three days... ”

Not only the two people, but also the rest of the colleagues looked at the stone and the fallen vine ghost alternately.

When dealing with thunder dragonflies, I guess it was just easier to deal with before.

But this vine ghost was a different story.

I had only seen him for three days, but he suddenly appeared to be several times stronger.

Three days ago, Changsoo almost died fighting the vine ghost.

However, even though I swung my sword a few times today, the vine ghost's neck fell off.

It wasn't just that.

Hyun-seok was about to collapse after cutting the vine ghost's throat. Even if it was three days ago.

But now it looks like we can still hunt another vine spirit. I was that excited.

How can a person change like that in just three days?

They stared at the stone that was pulling the stone out of the vine ghost.

Choi Changsoo was stunned and quickly regained his senses. I carefully approached Hyun-seok.

First I had to find out how to pull out the stable stone. If you keep looking, you'll see something.

However, all Changsoo could see was the image of a stone that stood up empty-handed.

What, are you done already? Are you sure there aren't any horseshoes this time? ’

Actually, that's normal. It was rather strange that a baron who slays horseshoes came out. According to common sense in dungeons so far.

Choi Changsoo looks up and down at the stone with suspicious eyes.

‘I think my backpack is a bit suspicious.... ’

The stone was always carrying a backpack. Inside were the cobblestones and by-products of the horse water that I had caught.

In addition to the starfish, Changsoo's group carries each other's backpacks. They also placed a byproduct of corn in it.

It was a byproduct collected from Thunder Dragonflies.

Of course, the bodily fluids that were extracted from the most important stone eye were stored separately by the stone.

‘Dammit. It's so different that it's not easy to watch. ’

When the thundering dragonfly hunt was over, it was no different than now.

I butchered a lot of byproducts, but I couldn't tell if there was a cobblestone or not.

The hand of the stone that disassembles the thunder dragonfly is so fast that I can't tell it apart.

It was one of the reasons for the fact that the size of the stanchions was not that big.

Even if I put the horseshoe I pulled out into my pocket, it was hard to recognize.

It was hard to distinguish even from one another, but it was even harder to recognize because I had to see it from a distance.

How many horseshoes did you pick today? ’

In fact, if you clear the dungeon four times, you can get a Stable Stone.

At the very least, if it was a Bronze I class, it was a worthless stallion usually with a magical power of 500 or less.

If the market price is under KRW 500, the market price should be less than KRW 10 million.

Most of the cobblestones on the market are under 500 horsepower. Beyond 500 horsepower, the price suddenly doubles.

So the average Bronze-grade dungeon hunt was 500 horsepower.

However, Choi Changsoo saw that the horse stone that Hyun-seok pulled out three days ago was not only that size.

‘Min 1000. And more than 2,000 were removed from the vine spirit. ’

1000 horsepower is a criterion for hunting silver grade dungeons, and 2000 horsepower is a criterion for gold grade.

Horse standards. Even if you hunt at silver grade, your chances of getting a stable stone below 500 horsepower were fairly high.

Of course, you could make a lot more money by increasing the chances of the stable itself than the Bronze rank.

After all, if you think about it, the hunt three days ago was a ridiculous series of coincidences.

That's a coincidence? That can't be right. ’

It was a coincidence once or twice, but it happened dozens of times in a row. Of course it couldn't be a coincidence.

So, there was no distribution at all, but I put pressure on the complaint.

“Let's get out of here.”

At his words, Changsoo nodded and followed behind. I didn't think I'd be able to finish the hunt here, so I thought I'd see it one day.

‘And it's not just today, is it? ’

Just thinking about what happened three days ago made me feel urgent. But I endured it. I believed that one day I would have a chance if I endured it.

Hyundai found the core of the dungeon quite simply. I moved quickly and stood in front of the core as if I had known the way.

Hyun-seok raises his hand to his core.

I'm fine!

Your core is crushed in seconds.

Changsoo's group opens their eyes to see it again. I never thought I'd break the core so quickly.

But that's not the end they should be surprised about.

In front of their eyes, the dungeon collapses and returns to its original world, they see a small shield floating in the air.

“Another artifact? ”

Hyun-seok picks up his shield, taking everyone's frightened gaze.

I'm fine!

Magic waves sweep through the area.

Cho Changsoo was stunned and watched. My head was all tangled up.

* * *

The Dungeon Management Center was a world-class organization. In fact, it was closely tied with the governments of each country. Otherwise, it won't be easy to exert this much influence.

It was also no exaggeration that each country's administrative centers were operated individually.

The names are unified, but they are not often associated in nature, and they act for their own interests.

The head of the South Korean Dungeon Management Center was a player called Pyrotechnics, a 98-level monster.

It was the second highest level in the world after Ryan in the United States.

Of course, a high level did not necessarily mean that it was strong. However, it was natural that the higher the level, the higher the chance of being stronger.

Furthermore, the higher the level, the harder it is to level up, and the greater the amount of magical power that increases with each level.

So, even if it was the second strongest fever in the world, it couldn't be more wrong.

Of course, there is a variable called artifact, but the heat of deduction also has great things, so there was nothing to be excited about.

And Chul-kyung Hoon, a cousin of the Korean Dungeon Management Center, was the Gyeonggi-do Manager.

Choi Kyung-hoon was the man who came to the station with the breath of his cousin. Of course, he wanted to lift the ball and unmask the parachute.

It was not enough to level up just by hunting. I honestly didn't have the talent to do that.

His level was stagnant at 57.

And, of course, 57 was an extremely high level. However, when I was with the other branch chiefs, it was also a level I had to be intimidated by.

Normally, you have to go above level 70 to become a branch director in Korea.

He was reading a report with an interesting look on his face.

Unlike other branch directors, he had a great interest in people studying things through dungeons, players using them, and byproducts from the dungeons.

Because he thought there was a breakthrough up there.

“Isn't this enough to think you know something special? ”

His secretary, who was politely standing next to him, immediately replied.

“I'm not sure yet. But it's definitely worth looking into. ”

Chul-kyung Hun nodded loudly. That's exactly what he thought.

“Quartz...... I'm going around the dungeon like crazy. It's only been two months since I woke up as a player... I can't believe I've cleared more than 100 dungeons. ”

Choi Kyung-hoon nodded, muttering, and looked at his secretary with a curious look.

“But you don't have a level? Did you skip it? ”

The secretary replied with a disheartening expression.

“Quartz has not measured the level yet. ”

“What? You didn't measure the levels? Why?”

He asked with a look that he couldn't understand. He also has a lot of privileges that accompany him when he has a high level, so any player can measure a level immediately if they feel the sensation.

I had cleared the dungeon more than 100 times, but I never measured the level. It was unreasonable for no particular reason.

“I don't know, I tried nagging the doorman, but he didn't respond. ”

“Really? That's odd. Anyway... I think we should try to make contact. Who would be right?”

“I think he's a young man with a lot of blood.... ”

His secretary said, and his head went blank. I thought of a list of female players he could use, and then I looked for the right person.

“How is Ryu's wisdom? ”

“Excellent choice. But I'm not sure if she's going to take the offer. ”

“You'll have to accept that. I have what he wants. ”

His secretary's face lit up.

“Then I'll contact you right away. But... ”

“What's the matter? ”

He asked with a vague expression on his slightly darkened secretary's face.

“If it's just luck... … Wouldn't it be like you're using one of Ryu Ji-hye's cards?" ”

Choi Kyung-hoon smiled.

“You worry about everything. It's okay to have a lot to gain just by hiding the truth. And……. ”

He turned his gaze back to the report and glared.

“There's got to be something. Too subtly ambiguous. ”

His secretary nodded, shining his eyes as if he had just realized.

Obviously, it felt worth investigating once. The odds of finding a stable stone were too subtly adjusted. as if they were made artificially.

The secretary looked at the cardinal message with a fresh eye.

Perhaps others would not have made such bold decisions if they had seen this report.

Maybe he just got away with it. I'd be nervous if he didn't mention it to me.

‘I can feel the camouflage after hearing it. ’

If he had told you that it would be closer to luck, he would have accepted it. The number adjustment was subtle.

The secretary became curious about the man named Sa Sam Lee Hyun-seok.

‘If it was really self-regulating...... it wouldn't be normal.' ’

In the secretary's eyes, the age part of the stone was stuck in my eyes.

"I'm 21... Amazing. ’

The secretary felt the gaze of Cardinal Hoon and quickly regained his mind. He lowers his head slightly toward the cardinal discipline.

“Then I'll deal with it right away. ”

Choi Kyung-hoon nodded his head and gestured as if to get out.

As the secretary stepped out, Kim Kyung-hoon glared at the report again.

“I can't be the only one who's seen this... Where are you going to move? ”

A confident smile appeared on the mouth of the cardinal who muttered.
