Chapter 32
“What an amazing achievement! Here, this stone is a gift!”
By making it public to the server, Jung Hoon was able to obtain 10 stones.
Of course, additional mining from the vein was impossible, and it was in the form of receiving 9 stones from Yorden.
“Thank you.”
Jung Hoon put the 10 Evolution Stones into his inventory.
This amount was more than enough to evolve the Red Dragon Bone Bow.
‘I could sell 1 or 2 of them.’
Simply raising the grade with Evolution Stones alone was impossible.
It takes some time to raise the grade through repeated evolution.
The weapon couldn’t withstand absorbing all the stone’s energy at once.
“No. Thanks to you, I also had a valuable experience.”
[NPC Yorden’s trust level increases.]
Yorden looked at the mine vein and smiled contentedly.
He was a treasure hunter before being an interpreter.
That’s why he would have recognized the value of the Evolution Stones at a glance.
Jung Hoon checked the question mark above his head.
[General Quest: Yorden’s Letter of Recommendation]
-Restriction: User who has gained Yorden’s trust
-Reward: Trust level UP with blacksmith Vulcan
-Description: Take the Letter of Recommendation written by Yorden and visit blacksmith Vulcan.
Oh, Yorden is writing a Letter of Recommendation himself?
I didn’t expect this.
The blacksmith Jung Hoon was planning to visit was none other than Vulcan.
‘Having a Letter of Recommendation will make things a bit easier.’
As that trust level increases, the NPC’s attitude changes.
Normally, Yorden would never write a Letter of Recommendation, but his changed attitude due to increased trust was proof of that.
When he accepted the quest, Yorden immediately took out a piece of paper, quickly scribbled on it, and handed it to Jung Hoon.
“Here, take this and go find Vulcan in Edenhark. He’s the most skilled blacksmith I know. He’s also someone who can handle Evolution Stone energy.”
“Thank you.”
“Hehe, you’ll probably be the only one I’ve ever written a Letter of Recommendation for. I hope luck accompanies your future endeavors as well.”

Whoosh-
The capsule opened and Jung Hoon came out.
“Phew.”
Jung Hoon immediately rushed to the refrigerator and gulped down water.
Was it because he spent two days in the capsule?
He was severely thirsty.
At the same time, he felt hungry and had no strength in his hands and feet.
It was due to inadequate nutritional intake.
“Oh my, you’re finally out.”
In the living room, his mother was sitting and looking at Jung Hoon with a worried expression.
“…You’re here?”
“Yes. Even living in the same house, it’s this hard to see your face…”
“Haha…”
Jung Hoon scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.
Then his mother got up and prepared a meal for him.
“It’s good to be enthusiastic, but you need to think about your body too.”
“Yes.”
His mother knew nothing about future events.
Nevertheless, she didn’t interfere much with his gaming.
She was just worried about her son’s health.
“If it were up to me, I’d want to smash that capsule.”
His mother glanced disapprovingly at the capsule installed in the room.
“Cough…!”
For a moment, the rice went down the wrong way and he choked.
“But since my son worked so hard to get it, I can’t do that… What do you think mom should do?”
“…Ahem, I’ll do it in moderation.”
“Correct answer. At least sleep at night. You can keep that much, right?”
“Yes.”
From now on, if there’s nothing special, he should come out for about 3-4 hours at night to sleep.
His mother was saying this because she was worried about her son.
After finishing his meal, Jung Hoon went outside to get some fresh air.
“Hey!”
When he came down to the first floor, he made eye contact with Ha Jin who was running toward him frantically.
“Huh? What? Why did you come here?”
“This is ridiculous. I sent you so many whispers, but there was no reply, so I came directly!”
Ah, come to think of it, I did see the whisper icon ringing.
However, I was in the middle of progressing a Quest, and right after completing the Quest, I was mentally exhausted and logged out immediately, so I couldn’t check it.
“I was busy so I couldn’t check.”
“Geez, more importantly, you said the place you moved to was Edenhark, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Perfect! I came to tell you some good news.”
“Evolution Stone?”
“Huh? What, you already knew?”
He thought Jung Hoon would be a little surprised, but seeing Jung Hoon nod with a calm expression made the rush here feel like a waste of effort.
Then a fleeting thought crossed his mind.
Don’t tell me this guy was the one who revealed the Evolution Stone reward?
“Anyway, this works out well. I wanted to ask you a favor.”
“A favor?”
“Yeah. Let’s walk and talk for a bit.”
Right. No matter how extraordinary this guy’s actions have been, it wouldn’t be the Evolution Stone.
Ha Jin shook off the thought and followed Jung Hoon as he walked.
“What is it exactly?”
“Just get me one item.”
“An item?”
“Yeah. I saw there seems to be a decent item on Welcome.”
Jung Hoon still couldn’t use the auction house.
To use the auction house, you need to be over level 100 or complete your second job advancement.
So he was asking Ha Jin for help.
Of course, it wasn’t for free.
His intention was to ask him to sell 1 Evolution Stone instead and use the Gold from that to purchase the item.
He planned to give all the remaining profit from the process to Ha Jin.
“What? You have an Evolution Stone?”
“Yeah.”
“…Wait, then don’t tell me you were the user who got the reward first?”
Ha Jin asked with a trembling voice.
It was natural to be suspicious since he had shown impossible results so far and now even had an Evolution Stone.
Jung Hoon nodded.
“Yeah.”
“…Crazy. Now you’re even getting rewards like that?”
“I was lucky.”
“Is that something you can just dismiss with ‘I was lucky’? Hah… This is so fucking unfair.”
Jung Hoon shrugged once and went into a convenience store, bought 2 ion drinks, and came out.
“Anyway, drink this and come to Edenhark for me.”
* * *
Ha Jin, who parted with Jung Hoon, headed to the Capsule Room early the next day.
“Oh? You came earlier than usual today?”
As always, Lee Hyeon Woo greeted him warmly.
“My friend asked me for a favor.”
“A favor?”
“Yes. He asked me to get him an item.”
“Really? What is it?”
Lee Hyeon Woo showed interest.
Ha Jin’s friend, Jung Hoon.
The friend who visited the Capsule Room and invested 20-21 hours a day.
Moreover, he was a talented person with such good memory that he even appeared on a program called Genius Discovery.
An old video uploaded to YouTube contained Jung Hoon’s student days intact.
Various pictures and characters were arranged in over 10 themes, and he remembered every single one perfectly without missing anything, then applied that knowledge to solve tasks – it was spine-chilling to watch.
And since he proudly took first place in an event hosted by Genesis and received a Capsule worth 30 million won as a prize, he had to remain as a strong impression.
“Well. He said he’d tell me once I go in.”
“That’s curious. Which village did your friend go to? He must have left Primordial Village by now.”
“Edenhark.”
“Edenhark? Edenhark has been really hot lately.”
The Edenhark Evolution Stone acquisition Quest posted on Welcome.
Because of that, countless users were currently flocking to Edenhark.
“That’s right.”
Ha Jin didn’t bother mentioning that Jung Hoon received the first reward.
Lee Hyeon Woo, who didn’t know this, clicked his tongue.
“That’ll be tough. He already chose a difficult village, and if it’s crawling with users too, just running around to receive Quests will be a hassle.”
Evolution Stones are used to evolve items regardless of level.
So there were quite a few high-level users in Edenhark as well.
“What can you do. It’s his own doing.”
Ha Jin answered casually and entered the Capsule to log in.
He immediately moved to the Portal to transfer to Edenhark.
But in front of that Portal, nearly 20 users were waiting.
They were all users transferring to Edenhark.
‘There sure are a lot of them.’
They’re all going after the Evolution Stones.
‘Since it’s come to this, should I give it a try too?’
While asking Jung Hoon for a favor, I’ll ask him about how to get Evolution Stones.
* * *
Quite a crowd has gathered.
Jung Hoon thought to himself as he looked at the village bustling incomparably more than usual.
And among them, he could occasionally spot named Users.
Thanks to that, Jung Hoon’s lips curved up crookedly.
Because Jung Hoon, with his excellent memory, saw familiar faces.
‘Jung Chang Ho, Oh Min Ji.’
There were two named Users visible in the plaza.
And Jung Chang Ho was one of those who had betrayed Jung Hoon.
Oh Min Ji was an exception since she had already lost her life before Jung Hoon was betrayed.
However, Jung Hoon didn’t have particularly good memories of her.
It was a time not long after Jung Hoon had revealed his power.
‘Ha, why did we accept such a pathetic Martial Artist?’
‘Hey, if you get in the way, I’ll kill you, so stay quiet as a dead mouse.’
From the early days, Oh Min Ji looked down on Jung Hoon for the sole reason that he was weak, and every time they met, she openly showed contemptuous looks.
That wasn’t all.
They had provoked Jung Hoon countless times in places where others couldn’t see.
Thanks to that, he had fallen into crisis more than once or twice.
‘I’d like to give her a beating if I could.’
Just because his feelings weren’t good didn’t mean there was reason to cause a disturbance here.
They’d encounter each other eventually as time passed anyway.
Crushing them would come when that time arrived.
[Whisper/zl존하진12 -> 훈 : Hey, I arrived at the plaza. Where are you?]
A whisper arrived indicating Ha Jin had arrived.
[Whisper/Hun -> zl존하진12 : I’m in front of the fountain here.]
[Whisper/zl존하진12 -> 훈 : OK, heading there now.]
Not long after the whisper arrived, a handsome man who appeared to be in his early twenties stopped in front of the fountain and wandered around the area.
It was obviously Ha Jin.
‘That bastard, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him look like that.’
When New World became reality, customization disappeared and everyone returned to their original appearance.
That’s why Jung Hoon was seeing Ha Jin’s customized appearance for the first time in a really long while.
“Hey. It’s me.”
Jung Hoon approached and lightly tapped Ha Jin’s shoulder.
“Huh? Oh, it was you?”
Ha Jin could only recognize Jung Hoon after checking Jung Hoon’s player information.
“Yeah. More importantly, your level has gone up quite a bit?”
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname: zl존하진12
-Level : 159
-Class : Formal Knight (2nd tier)
===
Though his class was Rare grade, his level was approaching 160.
It was proof that he had put quite a bit of effort into developing it.
“Anyone listening would think yours is higher?”
Before regression, that had been the case.
Jung Hoon’s level as an All Master had been 703.
If he hadn’t found the opportunity to raise it in a short period, he wouldn’t have reached 300, let alone 700, but anyway, Jung Hoon had been able to reach 700 in a short time through that opportunity.
And this time too, he would find that opportunity and quickly raise his level.
There was no need to think anxiously about it.
The conditions for finding that opportunity were something only Jung Hoon knew, both before and after regression.
“Anyway, accept the trade.”
Jung Hoon sent Ha Jin a trade request and handed over one Evolution Stone.
“Awesome! A free Evolution Stone!”
“If you take it and run, you’re dead.”
When he responded to his playful voice, Ha Jin laughed heartily.
“Got it. I just need to come back here tomorrow, right?”
To sell and buy items, that much time was needed.
“Yeah. If you’re going to be late, send me a whisper.”
“Okay. Then tell me what I need to buy.”
“Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword.”
The item Jung Hoon was trying to obtain was the ‘Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword’.
