Chapter 50

Earth Korea Management Team.

All the employees, including Team Leader Oh Jin Su, were watching the screen with shocked expressions.

“No way… what is that?”

“He consumed two skill books? And those skill books are…?”

The color of the skill books was actually black.

Black skill books that rarely appeared even in New World.

They were black because only one of each existed.

And there weren’t just one, but two of these black skill books.

“Wh-what skills are those?”

“Brainwashing and Black Field…”

Brainwashing, Black Field.

As expected, these were skill names they’d never heard before.

“What’s the grade?!”

“C rank.”

Rare grade skills.

To think that unique skills were only Rare grade.

It was a bit disappointing, but since skills could be upgraded, if he raised them to Epic or Unique grade later, they would be quite powerful.

The value of skill books that only existed as one copy was beyond imagination.

A year ago, one black skill book was traded for 3.1 billion won, but since it was an anonymous transaction, they only knew the buyer was French.

3.1 billion won for just one skill book.

“…He really surprises us every time.”

Team Leader Oh Jin Su muttered quietly.

It was amazing how he hit the jackpot everywhere he went.

“Team Leader, that user will go for his second job advancement now, right?”

“He would… Wait a minute. Second job advancement?”

The second job advancement was called the biggest event in the Beginner Zone Village that came after Primordial Village.

The criteria for advancing to Rare~Epic grade jobs in this second job advancement event were quite generous, so many users stayed there for quite a long time to complete their advancement before moving on.

The variety was huge, from users who endured as short as a week to as long as two years before moving on, and over 70% of them failed to get Rare grade advancement and moved on anyway.

And an event was scheduled for this second job advancement.

‘He’s eligible for the event…’

That monster-like user hadn’t proceeded with his second job advancement yet.

In other words, he was eligible for the event.

Oh Jin Su let out a hollow laugh in disbelief.

How could the puzzle pieces only fit together for that user?

“How do you think the event will proceed?”

The detailed contents of the event hadn’t been revealed yet.

Earth Headquarters had announced in advance that they would reveal it on the day of the event, so it was impossible to dig up information even if they wanted to.

“Who knows. What’s important is that this user will participate in this event too.”

The corners of Oh Jin Su’s mouth slightly lifted.

That’s why he was even more excited.

What kind of results would surprise them this time?

Many more people would notice that monster’s existence.

He was already very curious about the reactions then.

* * *

A festival was held in Edenhark.

Since their long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, everyone including the lord was delighted.

Jung Hoon also couldn’t leave the Lord’s Castle and had to stay for a day or two.

‘We cannot send our benefactor away like this! Please allow us to repay your kindness!’

It was awkward to refuse coldly when Lord Juan himself came to earnestly plead.

There was plenty of time until the second job advancement event anyway.

So he gave permission, thinking he’d settle the rewards and take a rest.

===

[Benefactor of Edenhark]

-Type: Title

-Grade: Normal

-Health increases by 0.5%.

-Mana increases by 0.5%.

===

The title he got for closing the portal was Normal grade.

Even the options were trash of trash, only increasing health and mana by 0.5%.

However, this title had its true value elsewhere.

It was material for an evolution title.

Jung Hoon currently had an evolution title called Guardian of Primordial Village.

This was the material to evolve that title.

Evolution was simpler than expected.

It was combining titles into one.

[Would you like to combine the ‘Benefactor of Edenhark’ title with the ‘Guardian of Primordial Village’ title?]

When he placed the two titles in the same spot in his inventory, a message appeared.

When Jung Hoon clicked accept, the title glowed for a moment and ‘Benefactor of Edenhark’ disappeared.

[You have successfully grown your title. 3,000 Achievement points have been awarded.]

Along with achieving the Achievement, the Guardian of Primordial Village title evolved to Epic.

At the same time, the word “Primordial” disappeared.

===

[Guardian of the Village]

-Type: Evolution Title

-Grade: Epic

-Health increases by 5%.

-Mana increases by 5%.

-All attack power increases by 5%.

-Experience gained increases by 3%.

===

Perfect.

All stats had increased dramatically.

All stats that were 2% had risen to 5%, and experience had increased from 1% to 3%.

Even though no additional options were added, it was sufficiently satisfying.

‘If I could upgrade it to just Unique, it would become quite a powerful title.’

Next were the secret medicines.

The types of secret medicines varied from level to strength and agility.

‘It’s a bit disappointing that there aren’t any for mana and divine power.’

Unfortunately, they were the exact opposite of the secret medicines that Richel had developed.

‘Still, I’ll regret not being able to raise the other stats later on.’

Thinking about it that way, these secret medicines were also invaluable items whose worth couldn’t be calculated.

Jung Hoon consumed all of those secret medicines without leaving any behind.

* * *

At the same time.

A new announcement was posted on the New World Homepage.

===

[A Hidden Dungeon in New World has been cleared!]

-Hello! This is the New World Development Team.

First, we’re posting this announcement to share some congratulatory news!

The Edenhark Village – Hidden Dungeon that was carefully hidden in New World has finally! been cleared by a user.

Hidden Dungeons are devices created to help users grow, and are set to automatically disappear when the first person to discover them on a first-come-first-served basis across the entire world clears them.

The user who cleared it is as follows.

[South Korea – 000]

The server is disclosed, but the nickname is not disclosed.

Now, all users who enjoy New World!

New World has hidden many other things related to growth besides this!

Well then, New World users, we hope you have a pleasant day today as well.

-New World Development Team

===

Hidden Dungeons are far more numerous than Hidden Themes.

However, why would hidden be called hidden?

Even if there are many in number, clearing a Hidden Dungeon requires meeting somewhat extreme conditions.

That’s why when a Hidden Dungeon is cleared, an announcement goes up just like with Hidden Themes.

Naturally, chaos erupted among the users.

Even setting aside the fact that a Hidden Dungeon was cleared, the point was that it was discovered in Edenhark.

[Hey! Did you see the announcement? A Hidden Dungeon was discovered in Edenhark!]

-That’s insane lol wasn’t Edenharke like the most rotten shithole even among the newbie zones?

└Wait what the fuck is that?

└What did I just see…?

└A Hidden Dungeon came out of that Edenhark?

└For real, we need to reevaluate Edenharque;;

Wow, this is fucking ridiculous. First the Red Dragon Bone Bow, and now a hidden dungeon?

└Edenhark was the honey spot all along. Those bastards who said Aihen was the main choice, come out right now. Let me slap you around

[But it probably wasn’t a beginner who cleared the Hidden Dungeon]

-To clear it, you need specific conditions, and those are pretty X-like.

└Isn’t it Lee Hwa Rang? I heard he was desperate to find the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

└ For real lol aren’t Ihwa and the others still in Edenharke?

Oh right, that’s true. Even if the conditions were shitty, someone like Ewha would’ve probably cleared it lol

“This is really fucking ridiculous!”

Lee Hwa Rang threw down the smartphone he was holding.

After returning to the guild, hoping that the whereabouts of the Red Dragon Bone Bow might be revealed, he checked Welcome dozens of times a day.

There was still no gain, but he still couldn’t give up on the Red Dragon Bone Bow.

But what?

I’m already pissed off enough to die, and they’re saying I cleared the Hidden Dungeon?

It’s not like pouring oil on a burning house, where are they trying to muddy the waters now?

It’s so disgusting I can’t read any more.

“Hey, calm down.”

Park Jin Hyeok calmed him down as if he was used to it.

“Hah… Fuck, why does it feel like nothing’s working out?”

Park Jin Hyeok shook his head at the sight of Lee Hwa Rang scratching his head roughly and throwing a tantrum.

“I get it, so calm down a bit. You know you’ve been incredibly sensitive lately, right?”

“How can I not be sensitive? I’m already annoyed enough, and you want me to happily watch those crazy Welcome bastards muddy the waters?”

“That’s why you should stop looking at Welcome and drink this instead.”

What Park Jin Hyeok held out was an Americano filled with ice.

He had personally gone to a cafe to get takeout because his friend had been holed up in his room lately, not going out at all and only staring at Welcome.

“No thanks. You drink plenty yourself.”

Lee Hwa Rang, who usually enjoyed drinking iced Americanos, was refusing an iced Americano?

Park Jin Hyeok’s face turned serious.

“You’re really angry.”

“…This guy’s really crazy, isn’t he?”

* * *

“Say it’s not true.”

“What?”

Ha Jin suddenly appeared and asked with a serious face.

Jung Hoon, who had come out of the capsule to rest, tilted his head.

“The Hidden Dungeon, say it wasn’t you.”

“Ah, that’s what you’re asking about? I thought it was something else.”

Jung Hoon let out a chuckle.

At his relaxed attitude, Ha Jin responded with a hollow laugh as if he was dumbfounded.

“You guys. Damn it, it really was you.”

“Why do you think it was me? I heard that Hidden Dungeon has extremely harsh conditions to clear.”

The Edenhark Hidden Dungeon wasn’t just about discovery, but entry itself was locked.

Because you couldn’t even receive the Quest unless you possessed both Mana and Divine Power simultaneously.

“So it wasn’t you?”

“Well, it’s not that it wasn’t me.”

“Damn it! I knew it would be like this.”

“So you came all the way here just to ask about that?”

The current location was a jjimjilbang.

They had come out for a jjimjilbang date to match his mother’s day off.

And Ha Jin had chased him all the way to this jjimjilbang because of news about the Hidden Dungeon.

He was truly an amazing guy.

His mother had just entered the Fire Kiln saying she would take a steam bath, so it was just Jung Hoon and Ha Jin.

“That’s part of it, but this hyung wanted to tell you some important news.”

“Important news?”

“Yeah. What’s your level right now?”

“101.”

“Right… What?!”

Ha Jin stood up with a shocked face and shouted loudly.

Thanks to that, the gazes of customers resting in the jjimjilbang focused on the two of them.

“Sorry…”

Ha Jin quickly apologized and sat down.

The embarrassment was Jung Hoon’s share.

“Why are you shouting and making a fuss?”

“How could I not shout… But how did you reach 101?”

He had heard the news about discovering a fortuitous encounter and surpassing 90.

But the fact that he had reached 101 in such a short time was absolutely unbelievable.

Leveling in New World was difficult from the start.

Even so, most people could smoothly proceed to their second job change if they just had patience.

However, once you surpass 80, leveling becomes extremely difficult.

The difference in experience required to go from 70 to 80 versus 80 to 90 was a whopping 3 times.

And the experience required to go from 90 to 100 was 5 times the amount needed to go from 80 to 90.

Like this, when the tens digit changed, the required experience amount was beyond imagination.

Even for Ha Jin, who spent most of his time on New World, level 200 seemed endlessly far away.

In other words, that’s why rankers who reached levels of 300-400 or higher were monsters at best, or crazy shut-ins at worst.

“I cleared the Hidden Dungeon and received additional Secret Medicine as a reward.”

“Ah, it was Secret Medicine.”

At the mention of Secret Medicine, Ha Jin immediately understood.

But he couldn’t help feeling envious.

Since leveling was so brutal, the price of Secret Medicine concentrated with experience was astronomically expensive.

To hear that he had obtained such Secret Medicine consecutively, with all luck flowing toward Jung Hoon, honestly made him feel a bit wronged.

There was only a 58-level difference between him and Jung Hoon, who had entered 2 years later than himself.

“Anyway, what’s this important news? The second job change event?”

“What, you already knew?”

“Yeah. I’ve already prepared everything.”

Jung Hoon grinned.

On the other hand, Ha Jin tilted his head with a face that showed he didn’t understand.

“The event details haven’t even been revealed yet, how did you prepare?”

“Just by intuition.”

“Really…?”

Even at such nonsensical words, Ha Jin couldn’t just laugh it off.

Because whenever Jung Hoon spoke so confidently like this, the results always flowed the way he wanted.
