Chapter 34

[Hwa Rang : Looking for the user who obtained the Red Dragon Bone Bow.]

A message appeared in the chat window of users stationed in Edenhark.

‘He used a megaphone.’

Jung Hoon realized that Lee Hwa Rang had visited Edenhark and used a megaphone.

He came later than expected.

When he discovered the Red Dragon Bone Bow, Jung Hoon thought Lee Hwa Rang would visit Edenhark first.

It seemed he had taken some preparation time to acquire the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

That’s why he could confidently use the megaphone like that.

‘Of course, I have no intention of selling it.’

If he had intended to sell it to him, he wouldn’t have visited Edenhark to do manual labor.

“Hm? What are you smiling about?”

Woo Gang tilted his head.

“It’s nothing. So what about the information?”

“Ah, the one who hit the blacksmith this time… is a rather troublesome fellow.”

“Who?”

“A bandit gang led by a guy named Rex.”

“I see.”

“…You look like you already knew? You don’t seem very surprised.”

Jung Hoon smiled slightly.

Of course he knew.

When visiting the blacksmith to use an Evolution Stone for the first time, this situation would unfold.

But it wasn’t possible to solve it by just chasing after the bandit gang recklessly.

To use the Evolution Stone, you had to start by finding Woo Gang for information and proceed with the quests in order.

“Anyway, please continue the story.”

“Ahem, Rex has visited the blacksmith several times recently. It seems he planned to rob the blacksmith during that process.”

“Then where did those guys go now?”

“They were last seen in the Northern Snow Mountain before disappearing.”

“Understood.”

Jung Hoon stood up from his seat.

“Anyway, I’m really grateful for the fan. It’s a fan my late wife made for me with her own hands. When someone stole it, all kinds of thoughts went through my mind.”

Woo Gang carefully stroked the fan as if it were precious.

“Yes.”

Jung Hoon left the building and immediately headed to the Snow Mountain located in the north.

[The Evolution Stone you registered has been sold!]

[Please collect your payment.]

Was it because of the Evolution Stone craze?

The stone sold shortly after being put up at the auction house.

The sale amount was 98 gold.

Evolution Stones that had been priced at 110-120 just a few days ago had dropped about 10% in price as word spread that they could drop in Edenhark Village.

However, it was enough money to purchase the item Jung Hoon wanted.

“Hmm… Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword.”

Ha Jin searched for the item at the auction house.

There were 2 items listed.

===

[Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword]

-Type : One-Handed Sword

-Grade : Rare

-Attack Power : 67

-Critical Hit Rate : 1 ~ 1.5%

-Remaining Durability : 100%

-Special Ability (1) : When using swordsmanship skills, attack power increases by an additional 5%

-Special Ability (2) : When holding the sword, [Passive: Brave Spirit] automatically activates

===

The price of the listed item was even 55 gold.

Such a crappy item for 55 gold.

Even though it wasn’t his own money, it felt wasteful.

Items with better options were listed for 35-40 gold.

“Hmm… can’t be helped.”

After deliberating, Ha Jin paid 55 gold to purchase the one-handed sword.

With the remaining money, he decided to additionally purchase weapons that Jung Hoon could use.

“Muhuang, was it?”

He heard that Muhuang was a profession that could handle various weapons.

Of course, the process of learning to handle weapons was brutal.

But it was definitely a profession with unlimited potential.

“I’ll have to spend some of my own money.”

When he had tried to support him with early-game items, he was refused with “it’s not necessary,” but now it seemed like he could slip them in together.

Of course, high-grade ones won’t work, but Rare grade should be sufficient.

Ha Jin came out of the Auction House after purchasing some decent-looking knuckles and a dagger for a total of 65 gold.

He immediately returned to Edenhark to hand over the items to Jung Hoon, but what was this?

In the Plaza, famous players had gathered and were stopping passing users.

Of course, it wasn’t long before Ha Jin was also stopped.

“Excuse me.”

It was the Bowmaster Lee Hwa Rang.

‘Huh? Lee Hwa Rang? And next to him is the Lord Knight Park Jin Hyeok?’

This is crazy…

To think I’d see famous players this close up.

Jung Hoon, you bastard… You’ve done something incredible.

They must have all come to farm Evolution Stones.

Stopping users like this must be their plan to buy these Evolution Stones in bulk.

“What’s the matter? I don’t have any Evolution Stones.”

Unfortunately, Ha Jin didn’t have any Evolution Stones.

He had sold the ones he received from Jung Hoon, and hadn’t even taken the Quest.

“Ah, that’s not it. We were wondering if you might know who obtained the Red Dragon Bone Bow.”

“Red Dragon Bone Bow?”

Ha Jin tilted his head.

He had certainly heard that a Red Dragon Bone Bow was discovered in Edenhark.

But he knew nothing about bows.

Reading his expression, Lee Hwa Rang smiled kindly and stepped back.

“It seems you don’t know.”

“Yes… I haven’t been in Edenhark for very long.”

“I understand. Well then, take care.”

“Yes.”

Lee Hwa Rang and Park Jin Hyeok left without lingering.

“Excuse me. What did that guy say?”

Not long after Lee Hwa Rang and Park Jin Hyeok disappeared, Jung Chang Ho and Oh Min Ji approached and asked.

‘Wow… This time it’s Jung Chang Ho and Oh Min Ji?’

What an incredibly lucky day!

* * *

Northern Snow Mountain.

A field that maintains minus 20-30 degrees Celsius 24 hours a day.

Over 10 users were diligently hunting Lv.53 Yetis in the field.

“These bastards are supposed to hide treasures too, right?”

“That’s right! Hurry up and drop the pendant!”

They hunted Yetis enthusiastically.

All of them were in the middle of progressing through the Edenhark Quest.

‘Nothing’s going to drop from hunting Yetis…’

The only way to obtain the pendant was to go over to the eastern field and dig the ground diligently.

Well, this kind of suffering won’t last much longer.

Welcome has various users who are permanent residents.

Among them were users who wrote detailed descriptions about Quest strategies.

Soon those users would post detailed descriptions of Quest strategies.

[Whisper/zl존하진12 -> 훈 : Hey! I bought what you told me about!]

Just then, a whisper arrived from Ha Jin.

It seemed he had sold the Evolution Stones and purchased the items he had requested.

Faster than expected.

Was it because he was fired up about the Evolution Stones?

It was much earlier than the anticipated time.

[Whisper/Hun -> zl존하진12 : I’m at the northern snowy mountains right now. Want to do the quest first until then?]

[Whisper/zl존하진12 -> 훈 : Quest?]

[Whisper/Hun -> zl존하진12 : Yeah, I’ll tell you the Quest strategy.]

Jung Hoon explained in detail the Quest he had completed.

This way, Ha Jin wouldn’t waste time while he finished his business.

[Whisper/zl존하진12 -> 훈 : OK! Starting right away. But want to hear some shocking news? I just ran into four Named players!]

[Whisper/Hun -> zl존하진12 : Four?]

I can roughly picture who they were.

For ordinary users to meet famous players is like plucking stars from the sky.

That’s why users went crazy when Lee Hwa Rang and Min Jin Ho appeared in Primordial Village.

[Whisper/zl존하진12 -> 훈 : Wow… I’m so glad I came today. How happy would I be if I could join the same guild as those people?]

Currently, users’ attitude toward famous players was close to worship.

Just looking at Ha Jin’s reaction shows that.

On the other hand, Jung Hoon was indifferent.

He had long been disgusted by their greed and rotten mentality.

[Whisper/Hun -> zl존하진12 : Got it, so hurry up and do some quests.]

Jung Hoon closed the whisper and started walking.

“Hey? Wait! You can’t just go up there carelessly!”

As he was about to enter the entrance to the Snow Mountain, two users stopped Jung Hoon.

“Hmm?”

===

[Player Information]

-Nickname: Johannesburg

-Level: 78

-Class: Lower Warrior (1st)

===

The user who stopped Jung Hoon was a level 78 Lower Warrior.

===

[Player Information]

-Nickname: Canvasra

-Level: 75

-Class: Lower Gunner (1st)

===

And the one next to him was a Lower Gunner.

Why did they suddenly stop him?

Jung Hoon’s eyes turned coldly sharp.

In the Field, conflicts often arise and PVP battles break out frequently.

Reading his gaze, the Lower Warrior hurriedly shook his head.

“Ah, we didn’t come here to pick a fight.”

“Then what?”

“It would be dangerous for you to go up the Snow Mountain alone, so how about we accompany you!”

In their eyes, Jung Hoon appeared to be a Lower Martial Artist who had completed his 1st advancement.

And he looked like a beginner who hadn’t even passed level 40.

So they stepped forward directly to dissuade him.

“I’m fine.”

“No! If you die and get logged out for 24 hours, that would be sad, wouldn’t it? So we’ll help you!”

These are meddlesome people.

Sometimes there are people like that.

I’d like to say they’re a peculiar type who get restless if they don’t show kindness, but.

‘They can’t fool me.’

I’ve encountered that type many times.

On the surface, they’re wrapped in kindness and gentleness, but inside they’re pitch black.

When they stopped Jung Hoon earlier, he saw their eyes momentarily tinted with greed.

And one more thing.

Jung Hoon had stopped trusting people altogether due to one betrayal.

“So you’ll help me climb the Snow Mountain?”

“Yes! Let’s go together.”

The faces of the Lower Warrior and Lower Gunner brightened with joy.

Jung Hoon, who had seen through their true intentions, smiled silently.

* * *

‘Got him.’

Han Hak Seong, who had the nickname Johannesburg, cheered inwardly.

While hunting monsters in the Snow Mountain to level up, he had luckily discovered a dungeon.

And it was an Undiscovered Dungeon!

Moreover, it was a dungeon that hadn’t been discovered until now, and they were the first to find it.

The Achievement points for an Undiscovered Dungeon were 1,000 points.

It was quite a meager score for a first discovery, but what mattered was something else.

Namely, that only for the first clear, items dropped by the boss monster had a 100% drop rate.

‘First clear! Hahaha!’

‘Nice!’

He had tried to enter the dungeon to conquer it together with his friend Canvasra Park Jin Seong.

However, this dungeon required 3 or more people to enter.

‘Shit, what do we do?’

Han Hak Song and Park Jin Seong were just two people.

So they needed one more person.

‘Should we just create a party and recruit one person?’

‘Hey, then we’d have to split the rewards.’

Rewards that could be split 50:50 would have to be divided 33% each.

That’s a whole 17% loss, which was too much to bear.

‘Hmm, then how about we bite one person passing by?’

‘Bite them?’

‘Yeah. Who knows? There might be a user who needs help?’

‘Wow… you’re a genius. How does your brain work so well in that direction?’

‘Hey, if I had studied, I would’ve gotten into one of the SKY universities.’

‘That’s bullshit.’

The two bickered while hunting near the entrance and scouting for users.

However, befitting a Field in a considerably high-level area, there wasn’t a single user wandering around alone.

Thanks to that, they could only watch and pray that they wouldn’t head to the Snow Mountain.

And not long after, finally one user appeared.

Unlike other users, he wasn’t in a party and was alone.

===

[Player Information]

-Nickname: Hoon

-Level: 34

-Class: Lower Martial Artist (1st Tier)

===

His level and class were absolutely perfect too.

Perfectly suited for squeezing out all the sweet juice and then discarding.

I briefly wondered why a beginner who hadn’t even reached level 40 was poking around the north, but that question quickly disappeared upon learning he could enter the dungeon.

“Oh, you discovered a dungeon?”

“Yes.”

Since we had to go in together, I explained about the undiscovered dungeon as we climbed the snow mountain.

“So you need me because it requires 3 or more people.”

“Exactly! Of course, you just need to watch from behind. The appropriate level for this undiscovered dungeon is 52!”

“Sounds good. You helped me climb the snow mountain, so how could I not do at least that much?”

The user readily agreed.

Without mentioning anything about rewards, the conversation flowed smoothly.

‘Hehe, perfect.’

Whoosh!

[Critical Hit activated!]

Huh?
