Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 283

Youtiful(9)

│Flight ticket reservations to Incheon surge 300%… ‘Mitamnan pilgrimage’ fever│

│K-Explorer strikes the world. ‘Kang Hyeon Style’, ‘Seol Ha-woon Formula Book’ Google Trends search volume explodes│

│”Is this Je Mal-ol’s place?” Foreign fans visiting Korea, challenge boom│

This is the ripple effect of Labyrinth Exploration NaN. Now beyond simple Mitamnan fans, it’s bringing inspiration to the entire nation.

The number of tourists is a whopping ten times compared to the year before Mitamnan! Mitamnan merchandise sales are in the hundreds of billions! A shortage phenomenon where they want to sell more but don’t have the stock! The IP value is more expensive than any animation, movie, or drama series!

It has surpassed series that we know by name just from hearing them, and explorers including Seol Ha-woon, Kang Hyeon, Lee Jun-ho, Kate, Seo Ji-woo, Yoon Hwa-rim, Im Hae-jun, Jo Woon, Ryu Yeon-hwa have become global icons.

“…Still number 1 on MagicHat.”

Lee Si-ah looked at the MagicHat site and smiled brightly.

TOP 1 : Seol Ha-woon Theory Book

Seol Ha-woon’s theory book has taken over MagicHat. This kind of post also appeared on domestic communities. It was a meme copied from the mage community.

│Please translate Seol Ha-woon’s theory book properly. Who is the translator?│

Seol Ha-woon’s ‘Magic Power Radiation ‘ was translated as ‘Mana Discharge’ in the theory book, which was ridiculous. You can’t simply interpret the radiation that Seol Ha-woon talks about as mere discharge.

If you can’t accept the concept of energy diffusion spreading out in all directions from the center contained in the word ‘radiation’, you cannot properly understand his theory. The closest meaning would be Radiate.

Please, either learn the original language or get it reviewed – do one of the two.

-Exactly LOL.

-It’s much easier to just look at the original text and translate sensitive language terms directly.

-The translator is being really sloppy. Doesn’t seem like a muggle, so it seems like they’re deliberately translating it this way. Probably wants to look sophisticated lol

Surprisingly, the ‘original language’ here is Korean. English-speaking mages are complaining that they should please learn Korean properly.

Not only that.

[New Product] Next-generation formula orb ‘Clean Wave’ release countdown… “Seol Ha-woon’s second work”

The second formula orb ‘Clean Wave’ designed by Seol Ha-woon will be released next month. Currently, clinical trials are underway at Retina Corporation under ‘SEOL-SERIES 2’.

Formula researchers who directly participated in the clinical process praised it as “an innovative item that goes beyond simple purification functions to control the magic power density of space,” saying “there will be tremendous demand in both daily life and labyrinths.”

This Clean Wave.

“I already got it~”

Lee Si-ah had obtained the formula orb in advance and cleaned her entire house thoroughly.

She’s confident this formula orb will also be a huge hit. Explorers will definitely carry at least one around. Just in case they might fall into some really dirty place.

“Oh. It’s starting.”

Meanwhile, Mitamnan live broadcast begins!

┌─Labyrinth Exploration NaN─┐

-Open the door

-Door

-Open it

-Door

-Damn

-Ordered chicken

-hahahahahahahahahaha

-Ah~~

-Missed it

-Really

-There’s really not much left now.. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I want to savor it but I can’t bring myself to save it

LIFE GAME

Dark sky. The camera illuminates the darkness of the magic school, then the scene transitions.

─Seol Ha-woon : From now on, first. Don’t argue with what I say.

Previous episode ending. It resumes from that scene where Seol Ha-woon threatens Silo.

─Seol Ha-woon : Second. Tell only the truth. Third. Break even one rule, and you die here.

The question he throws at Silo is.

─Seol Ha-woon : It’s you, isn’t it?

A simple conviction that Silo is the informant.

─Silo : …Yes.

-Quick on the uptake

-Admits it right away, otherwise his head would’ve been blown off

-This is why people need to be quick-witted

-The prediction post was right lol that guy is definitely an informant

─Seol Ha-woon : Why?

─Silo : …The magic that this school is keeping.

Silo explains himself.

─Silo : That’s a disaster. Right now the school is attempting to implement the magic. It’s almost completely finished.

However, Seol Ha-woon’s expression is extremely menacing. His eyes, nose, and mouth are already in Je Mal-ol mode.

-Talking complete bullshit

-Would Seol Ha-woon fall for that?

-Hahahaha

-Can see right through it

-The other person is wrong lol

─Silo : But right now, more than half of this board of directors has fallen to the ‘Corrupt Council’.

Seol Ha-woon says nothing. Ordinary lies probably won’t work on him.

─Silo : The board of directors is trying to hand over the magic entirely to them. And I am…

─Seol Ha-woon : Arcal’s double spy, the only opposition?

─Silo : …Even if you don’t believe me, that’s all I can say. The Corrupt Council. If magic falls into the hands of those demons…

Silo swallows his saliva. Seol Ha-woon examines every corner of him. Tense music flows as the camera captures both of them horizontally.

-Goodbye haha

-hahaha

-Je Mal-ol would never let this slide

-He’s a trash mage lol

-Seol Ha-woon’s personality is really scary sometimes when you see it. He’d probably kill a baby too

-He actually did kill one lol

-Of all people, he had to run into Je Mal-ol lol

Everyone expects an execution. It’s the Seol Ha-woon Style Conversation. He doesn’t forgive enemies. He never trusts them and always suspects them.

Click.

Seol Ha-woon shifted his grip on the pistol.

And then….

─Seol Ha-woon : I’ll help you.

He suddenly says he’ll help.

“Huh?”

Lee Si-ah also blinked for a moment.

-What?

-He believes him right away, what?

-Why is he letting him go??

-Ah is this also a strategy?

-Isn’t this Je Mal-ol going out of character?

─Silo : …Pardon?

To the bewildered-looking Silo, Seol Ha-woon smiles.

It’s a strangely soft expression.

─Seol Ha-woon : Even if you can’t do it alone, I can. Look.

He hands him a bundle of magic formulas.

─Seol Ha-woon : It’s a formula that will completely destroy those guys.

Silo carefully unfolds it, and his eyes gradually widen as he reads through it.

─Seol Ha-woon : How is it?

Silo looks up at him. Surprise and admiration sparkle brightly on his face.

-Show us

-Show us too

-Why aren’t they showing us this?

-lol mage beggars are waiting on standby to pick this up

-You above seem like a mage too lol

-Ah there was a story about this. They said that formula was too dangerous to show

-Really?

-Ah so that formula from the insider story was that one. They said it was made so well that even the production crew was surprised.

-What are you saying lol damn Seol Ha-woon isn’t that good please;;

-No it’s really an insider story, are you stupid lol The mentor was surprised when he saw it and cut it.

-Yoo Yul is honestly a nobody

According to insider stories, the magic formula Seol Ha-woon invented in this labyrinth is so vast in scale, dangerous, and valuable that they’re maintaining strict security around it.

─Seol Ha-woon : Whatever it is. You don’t need to do it alone.

Seol Ha-woon says to Silo. Silo nods quietly with a dazed expression.

“Got it.”

Si-ah quickly placed her hands on the keyboard. As someone who knew Seol Ha-woon fairly well, she needed to provide an explanation.

│Seol Ha-woon isn’t someone who suspects endlessly, but someone who analyzes.│

Seol Ha-woon isn’t always just suspicious. Just as suspicion has its reasons, trust also has its reasons.

Actually, I think suspicion and trust are almost the same thing to Seol Ha-woon. He suspects because he doesn’t trust 100%, and he trusts because he doesn’t suspect 100%. He calculates thoroughly and makes decisions at the last moment.

Seol Ha-woon’s judgment right now is ‘I need to keep Silo by my side.’ Because he can only analyze him properly by having him together where he can see him.

Views and recommendations quickly poured in, making it rise to a popular post.

“Hehehe.”

When you’ve been on community sites this long, you can just see the methods and timing for getting popular posts.

Ha-o Gate

The scene changes to Ha-o Gate. This is why Jun-ho fans are in a good mood these days.

─Beggar : Hiyaap!

─Lee Jun-ho : Move faster!

Lee Jun-ho teaches the beggars. It’s the real Ha-o Gate. In what looks like an old dojo, children line up crookedly and cutely throw punches shouting “Hiyap!” in time with the commands.

-lolol they’re so cute

-Ah lol

-Look at Jun-ho’s expression;

-Washing his butcher image

-He seems to be smiling almost every day in this labyrinth

Sometimes, no, quite often Lee Jun-ho’s expression gets a close-up. Though he speaks sternly, an irrepressible smile seeps through.

Jun-ho is always smiling.

Because he likes children.

-Sigh

-The other side of the human butcher

-ㅠㅠㅠ

-They say Hitler liked babies too haha

-Don’t talk nonsense, are you crazy;

-Please report that bastard above

─Lee Jun-ho : Good. Now I’ll teach you how to prevent pickpocketing and how to subdue pickpockets. Since you’re weak in strength….

He teaches the children the basics of jujitsu, using the opponent’s strength against them to bring them down. A technique that allows even a small frame to subdue a larger opponent. As he teaches this, Lee Jun-ho murmurs in a quiet voice.

─Lee Jun-ho: Never get hurt.

Casino

Flashy lights and the endless sound of spinning slot machines. In the middle of the casino, Seo Ji-woo and Im Hae-jun are there.

Clatter clatter clatter.

─Seo Ji-woo: Oops.

Coins pour out of the slot machine for Seo Ji-woo, and Im Hae-jun sitting at a table a little distance away is shown in close-up.

He’s playing a card game, blackjack…

─Im Hae-jun: (trembling)

-Hahahaha

-Hahahaha oh shit, it’s so damn loud hahahaha

-hahahahahahahaha

-This guy is obviously losing money lol

The two people are in stark contrast.

─Seo Ji-woo: Yawn. Ah, why is this so boring.

Seo Ji-woo yawns while just spinning the slot machine, then moves to roulette and casually makes random bets,

─Im Hae-jun: (shivering)

Im Hae-jun breaks out in cold sweat pitifully while putting his heart and soul into blackjack.

-No way lmaooo damn Haejoon lolololol

-Fuck Hae-jun hyung! Stop it now!

-Hahahahahaha

-Im Hae-jun is blowing all his money

-You’re gonna steal Seo Jiwoo’s money anyway, aren’t you? lol

– Hahahaha looks like I’m gonna fail and end up dead last in the whole school hahahaha

─Im Hae-jun: Phew. Ah~ this is manageable. Please reveal the cards.

Already drenched in sweat, he pretends to be relaxed and smiles at the dealer.

─Dealer: I will reveal the cards.

But the moment the dealer opens the cards.

─Im Hae-jun:

His words cut off. Even the subtitles disappeared. His expression went completely blank.

(Not a freeze frame)

-Hahahaha

-Hahahahahahaha

-hahahaha

-Ah fuck, what a joke hahahahaha

-lol

-hahahahahahahaha

“This guy could debut as a comedian at least.”

Lee Si-ah wiped away tears as she laughed.

Then, a fork appears on screen. Spoon and chopsticks also appear.

The fork and spoon and chopsticks form an X mark as a logo emerges.

Hyeon’S Kitchen

─Kang Hyeon: Jong-su! Table 3 royal braised ribs, table 4 banquet noodles, table 9 snow flower grilled pork belly!

Kang Hyeon’s restaurant is bustling with business. The number of customers has become tremendous.

─Lee Jong-soo: Confirmed!

─Yoon Hwa-rim: That’s 600 caring total. Your table will be ready soon. Here’s your waiting number.

In the hall, Yoon Hwa-rim and Lee Jong-soo greet customers, while in the kitchen, Kang Hyeon’s knife work unfolds like art.

Chop chop chop! Chop chop chop chop! At invisible speed.

For about 3 minutes, they’re shown intensely cooking, serving, and running the business.

-wow these guys are really working properly

-this is life

-Self-employment hell edition lol

-that’s heaven episode; hell episode is when there are no customers and flies are buzzing around

─Yoon Hwa-rim: We’re closed for today!

After the last customer leaves, the three people collapse exhaustedly into chairs. The hardship of business is written all over their faces.

─Yoon Hwa-rim: Ah my whole body aches…

─Kang Hyeon: How much did we make today?

Yoon Hwa-rim groans as she gets up to check the sales.

─Yoon Hwa-rim: 950,000 caring!

─Lee Jong-soo: Oh! Then let’s move to a better dormitory first-

─Kang Hyeon: Hwa-rim. Then let’s go get your cart back now.

Yoon Hwa-rim’s cart that was pawned at the pawn shop and used as initial investment money.

PM 10:30

The three of them head out onto the night streets in casual clothes. They leisurely walk through the city where the night view sparkles.

-Why do their styles look so good

-Jongsu actually dresses pretty well too lol even though he looks stupid

-Aren’t those all clothes they bought from that labyrinth?

Then a popup site appears below.

Labyrinth Exploration NaN Clothing Store

They make and sell the exact same clothes that explorers wore inside the labyrinth.

“They’re good at business…”

Lee Si-ah purchased the Yoon Hwa-rim set like someone possessed, and it sold out completely 30 seconds later.

─Yoon Hwa-rim: The night air is really nice. It doesn’t feel like a labyrinth…

─Lee Jong-soo: Right.

Before they knew it, the three of them were holding skewer-like foods in their hands.

─Yoon Hwa-rim: I’m curious about the other kids too. Especially Je Mal-ol.

─Kang Hyeon: Ha-woon hyung will probably be close to first place no matter what he does.

Meanwhile, they arrive at the pawn shop. Yoon Hwa-rim’s cart is displayed like a jewel in the most visible spot of the shop window.

─Yoon Hwa-rim: Bungbung! I missed you!

Yoon Hwa-rim quickly goes inside, pays the fee, and comes out with Bungbung.

─Yoon Hwa-rim: Get on! Let’s go quickly.

Yoon Hwa-rim in the driver’s seat, Kang Hyeon in the passenger seat, Lee Jong-soo in the back seat.

─Lee Jong-soo: Wow. Hey, you’ve really improved a lot. Back then… ahem.

Lee Jong-soo stops speaking while reading the mood, and Yoon Hwa-rim grins as if she knows what he means.

─Yoon Hwa-rim: You always learn from setbacks.

-Nice

-I heard Yoon Hwa-rim is getting attention in the mage world because of that cart

-Yeah, 0-tier like the Endros school is pretty much confirmed

-She found her talent. Now she just needs to keep specializing in her talent, so she’s basically secured the elite course.

“…I hope Hwa-rim debuts too.”

Yoon Hwa-rim has completely bounced back from the worst public opinion in the beginning.

She who failed with the cart, rises with the cart.

Arcal’s Workshop

It’s Seol Ha-woon again.

He sits at a desk wearing rimless glasses. Around him, dozens of pens move on their own, scribbling something on different pieces of paper.

It’s a scene that looks like a mage’s laboratory.

-Wow

-Seol Ha-woon looks pretty good in glasses too

-The man who suits rimless glasses best

-So fucking intellectual

-He’s actually smart

-Hahahaha

-They really won’t show it, it must be a really dangerous formula.

The camera definitely doesn’t show his blackboard. Originally they would either openly reveal everything or show glimpses of it bit by bit.

-But how many formulas are connected there? It’s fucking huge

-How did Seol Haun get like that in just one year;; So fucking unfair damn

-If it’s unfair, then you guys go to the battlefield too lol The more intense the experience, the stronger the trauma has to be

-He definitely sold his soul to a demon

The mages are making guesses while looking at the number and scale of the blackboards.

The uninhabited island where Seol Si-se-kki is currently filming.

Boat construction work to escape has begun. Lee Je-hoon cleanly chopped up the trees, and I neatly trimmed them with the [Haunted Tool Set].

The saw blade and grinder turned the logs into straight lumber.

…The camera filmed all the above processes.

“Is it all done?”

The VJ asked.

“No.”

This much isn’t enough. We can’t escape this island with just a ferry. We absolutely need magic stones as a power source.

“I’ll excavate magic stones.”

“…Excavation? Is that possible? This is an uninhabited island.”

Lee Je-hoon asked.

“Yeah. If you look up.”

Rain mixed with magic power is pouring down.

“Magic power is pouring down, right? This will accumulate somewhere on the island. It’ll probably condense in crystal form.”

“I’ll search for it.”

“Go with Truck.”

“Confirmed.”

“I’ll go too. Je-hoon, let’s go together. My eyes are better.”

Lee Je-hoon and Jin Yu-ha moved together, and I also attached the auto-pilot mode Truck behind them.

Communication is really convenient. Well, Lee Je-hoon is a high ranker after all. He just happens to be only about 2-3 years older than Kang Hyeon in face value.

If it weren’t for Mitamnan, I wouldn’t have been able to even talk to such a person.

“…When did those two start speaking casually?”

Kim A-rang approached and asked.

“It just happened. For now, I’ll leave the magic stones to Je-hoon and start preparing dinner.”

“Dinner?”

“Yes. Magic stones are essential for the next processes too.”

I looked at the camera filming me and forced a smile.

“It’s still Seol Si-se-kki.”

It’s a program where you eat comfortably and heal.
