Level Up

< Extension 1 >

Han Jung-hyun started to get stressed because of the rarely rising level.

Even with the power of healing potions, there were limits. Particularly the 100-level wall was really high.

“Phew. I really... I want to hit them all these days. ”

Han Jung-hyun mumbled so much and left the dungeon production area.

It was a hunt with little to gain. I didn't even get the materials for the artifact. Moreover, Levels were in place, so it was a waste of time.

“No, you're wasting your time and your medicine. ”

The Pokémon is running out of Healing Potions. It's time to buy again

Han Jung-hyun entered the parking lot near the Dungeon Generation Area and got into the car.

It was an incredibly good car, as the 3rd year reigning leader and the most famous Red Dragon Guild master.

As soon as he got in the car, he took out a bead from his arms. I also took out a lighter-type electronic device. It was an artifact and equipment I had prepared for today.

He spills his magic into the orb. Then a red light gushes out of the bead.

Han Jung-hyun carefully identified the direction in which the light coming from the bead became stronger.

And I put my hand underneath the sheet. I pulled out a little pendant from there.

It was an attached pendant that could be attached anywhere.

Han Jung-hyun attached it to the original position and then operated the lighter-shaped equipment. It was a simple piece of equipment that worked just by opening the lid and pressing the button inside.

Beep, beep!

The beep continued for a long time. Han Jung-hyun moved the equipment around in the car.

Beep, beep, beep!

The alarm was sounded several times in a short amount of time. It appears to be attached to the trunk.

Han Jung-hyun found a locator and bug in the trunk.

I couldn't sigh. Han Jung-hyun looked at the same car parked next to him. Then someone got out of the driver's seat. It was prepared by Han Jung-hyun.

He was a person who was carefully added and carefully saved, so he was invisible to no one.

He bowed his head and got in Jung-hyun's car and drove off.

Booooo.

The car leaves the parking lot with a soft exhaust. Han Jung-hyun thought for a moment and got into another car, but it looked just like his car.

Then I slowly left the car.

“I'm... so... full of crap. ”

Stabbed in the back of the foot on a believing axe is the only way to use it. How could Jindaegho betray himself?

However, Han Jung-hyun was still questioning the matter. However, it was so hard to believe that Jindaegho would betray him.

Now he was on his way to check it out.

Han Jung-hyun moved to a quiet place in the suburbs. After a long time, the cafe reaches a stretch along the side of the road.

The cafe was beautifully wrapped one by one. It was a place where he would come with his lover, and Han Jung-hyun drove into the promised place.

As soon as he entered, the person who was waiting stood up and bowed.

It was a misleading country.

“Have you been waiting long? ”

“No, I won't be long. ”

Of course I waited a long time. But you can't say that. I came out early this morning and waited all day, but Myeong-gook did not do that at all.

Han Jung-hyun sat down in front of Myeong-gook. Then, Myeong-gook carefully sat down.

Han Jung-hyun's gaze that was looking at Myeong-gook slightly changed.

“Somehow... things have changed a lot. Has anything good happened to you? ”

Myeong-gook smiled bitterly. Should I call this a good thing? However, I nodded my head. What could be better than being strong for the player?

“Yes, that's right. I had a good thing going. I was very fortunate. ”

“I envy that luck. Now, let's get to the point. We received your message last time. First of all... You've succeeded in planting doubt on me. ”

In the tone of Han Jung-hyun's voice, there was a sense of urgency. He wasn't good enough to hide his insides.

“I've been looking into it carefully since then...... but there's nothing particularly suspicious about it. I think I need something special to turn my suspicions into convictions. ”

Jung-hyun, who asked for evidence directly, gave a big nod. I knew he was like this in the beginning. That was a reasonably expected response.

“I had a hard time saving it, too. ”

Myeong-gook said so, taking out one of the smart pads and putting it on the table, he pushed it in front of Jung-hyun.

Han Jung-hyun turned on the pad without saying anything and clicked on the prepared video.

It was a close-up of Jindae Lake.

As the video progressed, Han Jung-hyun's mouth became increasingly twisted.

Once again, I realized that there was no one I could really trust.

I asked Jung-hyun, who had seen all the videos, with a suppressed voice.

“So... … what's the purpose of Director Jin? And what do you want from me, Myeong-gook? ”

From now on, the Myeong-gook forcefully swallows his thirst to kill the tension and opens his mouth slowly.

“I want to be at the center of the Red Dragon Guild. ”

“The center of the guild.... ”

The purchase of Han Jung-hyun was more twisted.

“Did you really expect me to believe that? ”

Myeong-gook shakes his head. Definitely would not believe it But now that was real. And it was the most important mission given this time to penetrate Jung-hyun's heart with all his heart.

He was a member of the Red Dragon Guild, but he was actually one of the brightest. That was more important to him than the Red Dragon.

“All this time, I've been on the outside of the guild. I couldn't help it because I was incompetent. ”

“I'm sorry about that. However, there is no intention of changing the Guild's system. ”

Myeong-gook smiled.

“Of course. But did you know it's already changed?" ”

Han Jung-hyun's eyes changed terribly.

“Well... what do you mean? ”

“Chief Jin Dae-ho is changing the guild system. Very discreetly.”

Han Jung-hyun stared at Myeong-gook and said.

“That…… can you take responsibility? ”

“Of course. I have evidence. Actually, I'm... ambitious. I want to make a big contribution to the Red Dragon Guild for this. so you can naturally get what you want. ”

Han Jung-hyun only stared at Myeong-gook for a while. However, his expression and attitude did not change at all.

“What do you really want with that? ”

Myeong-gook smiled.

“I want the same location and authority as the current Head of Jindaegho. If you push a little, you'll be the best guild in Korea. Isn't that a second guild like that worth going through as a man? ”

Han Jung-hyun's expression cleared up a bit.

“Don't you think it's too much to ask for? ”

“It's more reliable than hiding, isn't it? I'm going to let them all go, which means I need you to trust me completely. ”

Han Jung-hyun looked at Myeong-gook who said that with a fresh look.

‘Is this the person...... who used to be like this? And I haven't seen him in a while? ’

Probably not The person seemed to have changed because of something.

And power was reason enough to create such a trigger.

Han Jung-hyun reached out his hand.

“Good luck with that.”

Myeong-gook smiled brightly and held his hands.

“You won't be disappointed. ”

* * *

Hyun-Seok sat at a coffee shop near his house and waited for the soup. Now that we were finishing the construction of the house, the thick work was almost done.

After a while, Myeong-gook came inside.

“Are you out already? You can take your time. ”

Myeong-gook hugged him full of smiles and sat in front of him. And I pulled out all the fake stuff first.

“Well done. ”

“Did you find it difficult? ”

“No way. I was so thoroughly prepared. ”

“It's important now. ”

“I know. In fact, it's been going on since before the negotiations started. ”

Hyun-Seok nodded at the words of Myeong-gook. Clearly, he was quite capable in this way.

It was strange how I had never heard of such a person.

‘Probably…… sacrificed when the Red Dragon and the KKnights' Guild split. ’

It was a big chance. Maybe it didn't even bloom at the time.

However, it was definitely not normal that the next thing was already going on before negotiating with Jung-hyun.

“There may be those who belong there in the first place. ”

“That's why it's slow going. because it's so hard to judge if you investigate it thoroughly and don't approach it carefully. ”

I didn't have to say anything about that.

Myeong-gook cautiously spoke.

“But you're so great that no matter how thoroughly I prepare, I can't help but shake the foundation. ”

Hyun-seok nods. I had anticipated enough and prepared all the preparations.

I would have already provided an item if it hadn't been for the Great Lakes in the first place.

‘The problem…… is that we supply materials to make that item……. ’

Material supply was not difficult. But the problem was I didn't have time to collect it.

I needed people to gather only materials. Reliable ones.

“We already have a contingency plan for that, so don't worry. I just need someone I can trust. Can you save them? ”

“Trustworthy… of course you should be a player, right? ”

“Of course.”

I have to get the ingredients. In addition, we must hunt for mutant thunderbirds. It was unlikely for a medium-level player.

Of course, the story would be a little different if Hyun-seok helped.

“It's always full of people. I will save them as trustworthy people. ”

Myeong-gook replied coolly. Hyun-seok nodded and thought.

‘Then... I'll have to ask Jongno too. ’

I didn't intend to leave everything to the people of Myeong-gook. Ingredients should be obtained separately. I planned to form three teams and divide things secretly among each other.

It will eventually become a universal item for beginners, but right now it's a great thing to shake the game.

‘The money... must be piling up so badly.' ’

Then we need someone to manage the money, and someone to use it to do what Hyundai planned.

Hyun-seok made a bitter smile.

You're the only one who doesn't have one. But no matter what I did, I needed someone.

‘Nothing is ever easy in this world. ’

There are things that can be done and not be done armed with advanced knowledge and artifacts.

Hyun-seok thought of information about trusted people in his mind.

There were a few people who came to my mind right away. They were trustworthy enough as long as they had a heart.

But some were still far too young to be players, and some didn't even know where they were doing it.

‘After all...... there are only two left. ’

The eyes of the stone sparkled. One of them was going to meet anyway.

He had a lot of debts to repay.

‘I'm glad I can repay you in this life. ’

Hyun-Seok thought of that person and had an unbelievably soft smile.
