All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 119
Tarkan’s lengthy speech continued for quite some time, and during that period, Tarkan generously poured out everything he had seen and learned on Earth.
The result-
“Übermensch Shin-hyeok Choi!”
“Honorary Orc Shin-hyeok Choi!”
“He will make us Vile Green Orcs great!”
“Vile Green Orcs Great Again!”
A monster that had absorbed all the dopamine of 21st century internet had been born.
Shin Hyeok watched in disbelief as the lifeless eyes of the Orc Miners filled with vitality to the point of overflowing, then confronted Tarkan.
“Tarkan. Even though I guarantee freedom for my subordinates, this seems a bit too free. Above all, you do know that the guy who originally said those things was a very heinous war criminal on Earth, right?”
It couldn’t be helped.
While Tarkan’s speech had quite an intoxicating flavor, it was natural for Shin Hyeok, who knew where it originated, to be cautious.
But Tarkan wasn’t stupid either.
“I have no intention of justifying their mistakes and sins.”
“Huh?”
“They certainly committed unforgivable sins. But that doesn’t mean we need to throw away the pinnacle of technology they created and built up. Warrior. We are not saints. The enemies we must face are not saints either. If a blade is held in a butcher’s hand, it becomes a knife for cutting meat; if held in the hand of a warrior protecting his tribe, it becomes a blade for the tribe; and if held in a murderer’s hand, it merely becomes a knife that kills the innocent. The blade bears no sin. It simply depends on who wields it.”
“Hmm… That’s true.”
Tarkan hadn’t been corrupted by watching total war speeches.
He didn’t raise his arm at a 45-degree angle, nor did he grow a toothbrush mustache under his nose.
He had simply used their abilities when necessary.
Of course-
“NewTube Premium subscription canceled.”
“What?!”
“MilX Study subscription canceled.”
“Whaaaat!!!”
Since insolence was still insolence, Shin Hyeok stripped away civilization’s blessings from Tarkan’s hands.
Tarkan’s despair at his civilization reverting to the Paleolithic era was brief.
Shin Hyeok approached the Orc Miners who had fallen into madness.
“Well then, I’ll be counting on you from now on. I’ll entrust the Sacheolseok Mine entirely to you all.”
“Leave it to us. We’ll go anywhere if needed!”
“…Um, thank you.”
As Shin Hyeok expressed his gratitude while letting the mad orcs’ talk of Übermensch and honorary orcs go in one ear and out the other, a message window appeared before his eyes.
[You have made an employment contract with players from another dimension!]
[Achievement: Dimensional Employer achieved.]
[30,000 Achievement points acquired.]
“Modest.”
There were also modest benefits from making contracts with the Orc Miners.
30,000 Achievement points.
For Shin Hyeok, who now had over 2 million Achievement points, it was exactly a modest amount.
Still, it was better than nothing, so Shin Hyeok nodded with satisfaction.
“Oh, right. What about the dwarves you killed?”
“They’re gathered outside.”
“Good, I need to devour them right away.”
After finishing everything.
Shin Hyeok approached the dwarves that Tarkan had defeated and gathered.
“Devour.”
Crunch!
Over ten dwarves.
Since they were all indigenous dimension diamond tier level players, Shin Hyeok devoured them with an excited heart, and the results were as expected.
[Stat: Strength increased by 118.]
[Stat: Stamina increased by 197.]
[Stat: Intelligence increased by 155.]
[Stat: Mana increased by 134.]
[Skill: Metallurgy[A] proficiency increased.]
[Skill: Metallurgy[A] proficiency increased.]
[Skill: Metallurgy[A] proficiency increased.]
.
.
.
Stats increasing by over 100.
And proficiency increase messages appearing like crazy.
Eventually, when it reached the critical point.
[Skill: Metallurgy[A] has grown into Skill: Metallurgy[S].]
“…Finally.”
Shin Hyeok succeeded in obtaining his second S-rank skill.
* * *
S-rank skill.
Once you obtained this, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say you were complete in that field.
In that regard, Shin Hyeok’s impression of raising his Metallurgy skill to S-rank was simple.
“So this is how it is. Not bad.”
Not bad.
There wasn’t any particular reason for such a plain assessment.
It was simply because he could now see slightly different aspects of the world he had been observing.
“Grain. Objects have grain. No, not just objects, but other things must have it too. However… right now my level might only allow me to see the grain that exists in objects.”
Grain.
Manufactured objects.
Whether unique-grade equipment or legendary-grade equipment, Shin Hyeok could see the grain that those pieces of equipment possessed.
Just as meat cuts better when sliced along the grain, and wood splits with light force even when it’s huge if split along the grain, Shin Hyeok could now see the weaknesses that equipment possessed.
“Using this, destroying equipment wouldn’t be difficult either.”
Naturally, equipment is consumable.
The more you use it, the more it wears down, and when that reaches its peak, it eventually becomes scrap.
But players, after using equipment to some extent, usually entrust equipment repairs to craftsmen.
They restore durability that way and use the equipment again.
Of course, if this is repeated, it eventually breaks beyond repair, but most use it for a long time.
But now that Shin Hyeok could see grain, problems arose in this area.
“Sinwha Workshop is going to be busy. Hehe…”
Equipment that people worked hard to obtain would now become scrap in an instant when it fell into Shin Hyeok’s hands.
For Shin Hyeok, it was a good thing.
The place they would look for to replace their broken equipment was predetermined.
Well, having manufacturing orders flood into Sinwha Workshop wasn’t the only good thing.
“If equipment or weapons get smashed during combat, combat power drops drastically. This would be quite useful even in serious battles, not just one-sided fights.”
Equipment and weapons are another life for players.
It’s not for nothing that they treat their equipment and weapons like newlywed brides.
They handle them roughly in combat more than anyone, but during non-combat times, they wipe off blood with silk cloth and maintain them by applying oil.
What if such items get smashed during battle?
Mental shock aside, it’s natural that practical combat power gets cut to pieces.
Of course, having some equipment destroyed wouldn’t render them completely unable to fight, but it would be correct to say that 20-30% of their power would be lost.
If used well, it would be helpful enough even when facing opponents of higher rank.
Having pondered deeply about what he had gained this time, Shin Hyeok soon finished his thoughts.
“Let’s go home.”
Home.
It was time for rest.
No matter how much Shin Hyeok was a Diamond tier player and simultaneously a player approaching Earth’s strongest, conquering a Diamond-grade Hidden Stage was an incredibly difficult task.
Moreover, having to handle the interference of Tribal Constellations as well, even someone as iron-willed as Shin Hyeok couldn’t help but get exhausted.
If you’re an excellent player, you know exactly when to rest, and when you rest, you rest properly.
Since he had already received all the rewards he was going to get, there was nothing more to do at the Sacheolseok Mine.
Therefore, Shin Hyeok threw himself onto his bed as soon as he returned to Earth without much thought.
And naturally, while Shin Hyeok was sleeping.
[Shin-hyeok Choi! He’s done it again!]
On Earth, the Season 128372 Shin-hyeok Choi bombshell exploded.
* * *
When Shin Hyeok began conquering the Diamond-grade Hidden Stage ‘Ravine Underground Mine’.
People heated up passionately once again.
It was a Diamond-grade Hidden Stage, no less.
Hidden Stages didn’t appear very often to begin with, but location-type Hidden Stages like this were even rarer.
And Diamond grade on top of that?
Needless to say, it was a first.
But precisely because of that, people were skeptical.
[Honestly, no matter how amazing Shin-hyeok Choi is, this is a bit;;]
A player who just reached Diamond tier conquering a location-type Hidden Stage?
Hmm, as an 18-year armchair Dimension Arena expert, the probability for this is low.
└You’re not an expert but a X-pert, aren’t you?
└Well, the speaker is an idiot, but I do agree with the opinion itself.
└No, are you all crazy? The opponent is Shin-hyeok Choi! Don’t try to judge him with human intelligence!
└Honestly, even Shin-hyeok Choi, this is a bit;;;
└Ha, Almighty Shin-hyeok Choi, please burn the unbelievers who don’t believe in you with hellfire and bring them before the Myth Legal Team… Shinmen…
Location-type, Hidden Stage, Diamond grade.
Since three things that were each vicious on their own had gathered together, it was natural for them to be split fifty-fifty.
A sharp confrontation between the side that acknowledged Shin Hyeok but thought this would be difficult, and the side that wondered what there was to worry about when Shin Hyeok would just Shin Hyeok again.
And the winner was naturally-
[Hahahahahahaha]
Hey hey, Dibeong.
Say it again. What did you say earlier?
??? : Even Shin-hyeok Choi, this is a bit…
Hahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahaha
Even Shwin-hyeowk Chwoi, thwis is a bwit~
└Wow hahaha they’re copying it so well hahaha
└Tsk! Dibeong! You still don’t believe in Shin-shin-shin-nim! Just how much does he have to show you before you’ll believe?
└Faith in Shin-shin-shin is always right!
└Damn it! He got the first Achievement in the placement test! He got the Integrated Silver League MVP! He got the Gold League MVP too! He brought legendary craftsmen and alchemists! He even beat Yeom-wang! Give give give! He did it all! He normalized everything!!! And you still can’t believe it?!!!
└Honestly, I think this is an intelligence issue ㅇㅇ Everything they said was impossible has been achieved, but you still can’t believe it? Oh shit! Dumbass! Look at reality! This mega innovation is changing the world!
It was the side that believed in Shin Hyeok.
They exploded the community and enjoyed a rat fire festival, using the posts left by the unbelievers who didn’t trust Shin Hyeok as kindling.
The unbelievers tried to hastily delete their posts and run away, but the prophets who had foreseen everything had already saved their posts in archives, so they had to become laughingstocks.
But the celebration of Shin Hyeok’s success was brief.
[But what kind of reward did he get?]
Usually rewards are related to hidden stages, so maybe they’ll give us ownership of the magnetite mine or something? lol Just kidding~
└I, I smell red ginseng candy from that post…
└Stop insulting the elderly!
└But aside from the red ginseng smell, this is actually correct? Most of Dimension Arena’s rewards are influenced by the player’s actions, Achievements, and the game’s background.
└Wait, so he really got ownership of a mine that can steadily supply sacheolseok? An individual person?
└…Huh? Then our country now has a mine that can stably supply unique-grade materials?
└It’s owned by the Host though… but the Host is Korean, so it’s not wrong.
People showed interest in the reward Shin Hyeok would have received.
He had actually obtained ownership of the mine, but even without knowing the truth, people deduced Shin Hyeok’s reward correctly by considering the nature of Dimension Arena’s system.
And those who heard that a mine capable of extracting unique-grade materials had appeared immediately moved into action.
[Mining stocks are rising!!!!]
Kyaaaah! 10 percent! 20 percent! Damn it, mining stocks! I love you!!!
└KOSPI rising together with mining stocks!!!!
└Going going!!! 5000 SPI!!!
└5000? Haha, “10000”.
└Whawhawhawhawhat!!
└Shin-hyeok Choi… are you saying you’re a god of even the National Assembly!!!
└The Host normalized not only Dimension Arena but even the National Assembly…!
└The normalization of all abnormalities in the world… that is the god of normalization, Shin-hyeok Choi…
└Shin-hyeok Choi punch! Shin-hyeok Choi punch! Shin-hyeok Choi punch!!!!!
Due to the positive news of the Sacheolseok Mine, related mining stocks blazed fiercely, painting the National Assembly with flames.
In the National Assembly burning madly with red lights, the entire world also focused on Korea.
“Ha, I’ll have to go to Korea again.”
“I hope we get beaten less painfully this time.”
“Damn it… Player Shin-hyeok Choi… are you saying you’re the strongest even in diplomacy…”
In the end, the Player Part Ministers from various countries who had recently been extorted(?) by Shin Hyeok regarding the FMVP had to entrust themselves to Korea-bound flights once again.
