Chapter 68
Yeo Min Ji didn’t know how many times she had looked at the 2nd Job Advancement event results.
-1st Place: Private/Private/Martial Arts Master (2nd)
Anyone could see that Jung Hoon had taken first place.
True to a Hidden Class, he revealed Martial Arts Master, then tried to go incognito by wearing a Common Grade Mask.
[Whisper/Hoon -> Minzi: It’s a secret.]
However, Jung Hoon didn’t give Yeo Min Ji a definitive answer.
“Wow… So this is how it’s going to be?”
Though it was frustrating how he put up such walls, Yeo Min Ji couldn’t back down here if she wanted to somehow create an opportunity to observe Jung Hoon’s Fist Technique up close.
She needed to make her face even thicker.
So she spent time leveling and with guild schedules, waiting for the right moment.
Since the level gap between her and Jung Hoon was extreme, she waited for content they could participate in together.
[Capsule Room Siege War Event]
‘It’s here.’
A new event that New World was preparing.
They were planning to hold an event using the familiar siege wars that were conducted monthly.
[Levels will be fixed at 150 for the event.]
Moreover, all levels would be fixed at 150.
That meant it would be decided by pure skill.
“If it’s this…?”
However, there was a restriction that to participate in the event, you had to log in with a capsule room-exclusive capsule.
Yeo Min Ji immediately sent a whisper to Jung Hoon, and the reply arrived in the evening after some time had passed.
[Whisper/Hoon -> Minzi: Yes. I’m thinking of participating in this event.]
At the positive response, Yeo Min Ji cheered three times, then departed for Autoban where Jung Hoon was.
This was the reason Yeo Min Ji had been seeking out Jung Hoon all this time.
“Yes. I’m going to participate in the event.”
“I knew it! Then would you like to participate with me?”
“I already found party members.”
“Wow… You’re really fast? All 4 spots are filled?”
Ah, dizziness.
She grabbed her throbbing head and barely managed to steady herself.
“Yes. Though it’s only 2 people so far.”
At the mention of 2 people, Yeo Min Ji’s eyes sparkled once.
“Then there are two spots open?”
“…Yes.”
“Wow! How can such a coincidence exist? Actually, I’m alone too. Then I can squeeze in, right?”
“Would that be okay?”
“Of course? One is better than none, two is better than one, three is better than two.”
Actually, the person Jung Hoon had in mind wasn’t Yeo Min Ji.
‘If my memory is correct, Yeo Min Ji doesn’t participate in this event.’
Rankers each possess Personal Capsules.
And since they belong to Named Guilds, they conduct siege wars monthly and collect substantial rewards.
There was no reason to participate in the event.
That’s why Yeo Min Ji should have skipped this event too, but she came directly to Jung Hoon asking to be included in the party.
However, it was also awkward to refuse.
If Yeo Min Ji joined, the difficulty would become easier.
Even with level 150 correction, she was a proper ranker who had completed her 4th job advancement.
If she, who had more experience than other users, joined, it would definitely be a great help.
“Understood. Then please go to the capsule room at the designated time.”
This event had the familiar siege war as its main theme.
‘They’re quietly giving hints.’
That they would turn Earth into a game.
And that if they couldn’t protect it, it would collapse.
People would later call this event the ‘1st Chaos.’
“Huh? Instead of that, how about we meet and go in together?”
“Meet?”
“Yes! To participate in the event, you have to do separate authentication at the capsule room. Rather than moving separately and making it complicated, I think it would be better to move together.”
Her words made sense too.
If they had to move as a group, it would be much more convenient to register and move from the same capsule room.
“Understood. Let’s do that.”
Yeo Min Ji nodded with a bright smile.
“Yes. Then I’ll log out and contact you right away.”
True to her word, that day Jung Hoon’s smartphone had a text message.
[This is Yeo Min Ji! I’ll contact you with this outside the game!]
* * *
One week until the event.
To prepare for that event, Jung Hoon arranged a three-way meeting with Ha Jin and Yeo Min Ji.
‘We should get familiar with each other’s faces beforehand. You must have used customization in the game, right?’
Due to Yeo Min Ji’s proactive attitude, the three met at a cafe near the Capsule Room.
However, Ha Jin became tongue-tied at Yeo Min Ji’s appearance, and because of that, a brief silence fell over the table where the three sat.
“Hello. I’m Yeo Min Ji. I’m 21 years old this year. My MBTI is ENTJ.”
Yeo Min Ji easily broke that atmosphere.
Having finished her self-introduction first, she stared directly at Jung Hoon, and eventually Jung Hoon opened his mouth.
“Yes. I’m Jung Hoon. My surname is Jung and my name is Hoon. I’m 36 years old.”
“Huh? Hey, you’re 21 years old.”
When he mentioned his age, Ha Jin pointed out his actual age with a bewildered expression.
Ah, that’s right.
Since I came back 15 years, I’m 21 years old this year.
“I was just joking. Yes. I’m 21 years old this year, and I don’t know my MBTI.”
“You haven’t taken the MBTI test?”
Yeo Min Ji asked with a surprised expression.
“Yes. I’m not really interested in it.”
Jung Hoon knew about MBTI, but he hadn’t taken the test.
The idea of dividing countless people into just a few types seemed ridiculous to begin with, and he didn’t feel any particular need to do it either.
Then Ha Jin tactfully opened his mouth.
“Is it my turn next? I’m Jang Ha Jin. I’m 21 years old this year. My MBTI is ESFP.”
“Ah, yes.”
The self-introductions ended quickly.
Once again, silence descended among the three.
Perhaps feeling awkward, Ha Jin broke the silence and spoke to Yeo Min Ji.
“Um… you are the same Yeo Min Ji I saw before, right?”
“Huh? When have we met before?”
“When you asked Hoon to take you as his disciple, I was standing next to him.”
“Ah, so that was you. I think I remember now.”
In a way, it could be considered an embarrassing memory that might feel unpleasant, but Yeo Min Ji handled it skillfully.
“Yes!”
Seeing that she recognized him, Ha Jin grinned foolishly.
‘Wow, she’s so pretty.’
He hadn’t been this impressed in the game.
That’s because gamers always set their appearance through customization to rival celebrities.
So he thought Yeo Min Ji would be that type too, but what was this?
She boasted beautiful looks that weren’t much different between the game and reality.
He couldn’t help but be amazed.
“Well, now that we’ve gotten acquainted today, let’s meet again in a week.”
Since the introductions were over, it was time to return to the game.
“Yes. Then I’ll be going first.”
When Jung Hoon ended the conversation, Yeo Min Ji obediently got up from her seat and left the cafe.
“Then let’s get going too.”
Jung Hoon got up from his seat.
But Ha Jin couldn’t even think of getting up and stared blankly at the door she had exited through.
“…Wow. Hey. I’ve never seen someone so pretty before.”
“I see. Anyway, get up.”
“I’ll stay here a little longer…”
“Do whatever you want. Then I’m going first?”
“Yeah…”
Ha Jin, still not over the lingering impression, sat quietly in his seat for 30 minutes.
‘Wait… but if they said they’d contact each other, that means they know each other’s personal contact information?’
When his thoughts reached that point, he snapped back to reality.
At the same time, envy and irritation rushed over him all at once.
“What is this. Damn, what is this shitty feeling?”
* * *
Jung Hoon, who entered the game, left the Lord’s Castle and headed to the Field.
In that Field, he spotted a familiar face.
It was the level 201 Despair-Stained You, Lee Si Woo, who had subjugated the Ogre King’s group together with Jung Hoon.
‘Why is that guy here?’
A considerable amount of time had passed since they parted ways, but Lee Si Woo hadn’t left Autoban.
“Huh?”
Lee Si Woo also recognized Jung Hoon.
“Why are you still here?”
“Ah… I have something to take care of.”
“Something to take care of?”
“Yes. I’m planning to kill those bastards one more time.”
The guys who had put a request on him.
The 120 hours of suspension time for those bastards would soon pass.
‘If they had any sense, they’d log in a few days later, but that’s unlikely.’
Those guys were completely obsessed with New World.
The 120 hours probably felt like 1,200 hours to them.
So he would level here while waiting for them to log in.
That prediction wasn’t wrong.
The Aura Knight and Assassin attempted to log in simultaneously.
“I’ll handle them.”
Despair-Stained You, Lee Si Woo drew his sword and approached the two.
“We were wrong!”
“We committed a deadly sin! Please spare us!”
And the two knelt down and slammed their foreheads hard against the ground.
“Wait.”
At that sight, Jung Hoon raised his hand to stop Lee Si Woo.
“What? Are you going to handle them yourself?”
“Yeah.”
“…Understood.”
Lee Si Woo obediently stepped back.
“Pl, please forgive us just once…”
“We must have lost our minds! We’ll beg like this. Please pity these pathetic bastards and spare us just once. Huuung!”
As Jung Hoon approached, the guys clasped their hands together and desperately begged for forgiveness.
If they got suspended one more time here, it would be a month-long suspension.
That absolutely couldn’t happen.
24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 120 hours.
All together, it was a whopping 11 days.
Their lives had become miserable from not being able to play New World for 11 days.
Endure 30 more days in this state?
Their pride had disappeared long ago.
“If I spare you?”
“Pardon…?”
“You guys insulted my mother. I absolutely can’t let this slide.”
“…”
“It’s not like you’ll actually die anyway. I’ll kill you here, then come back in a month to kill you again. That’ll be a year, right? Oh, and I’ll come back after a year to kill you too. Then it’ll be goodbye to New World forever.”
The faces of Auralite Hong Hyeon Woo and Assassin Kim Bong Gu turned pale.
That psycho was more than capable of permanently banning them.
“Pl, please…”
“If you just spare us, we’ll do everything you tell us to!”
At Kim Bong Gu’s words, a glint flashed in Jung Hoon’s eyes.
“Really?”
Seeing it was effective, Kim Bong Gu quickly added more.
“Yes! I’ve spoken the words, so I can’t take them back, right? So I’ll make up for it with my body!”
“What about you?”
Jung Hoon looked at Auralite Hong Hyeon Woo.
Both had picked a fight with him, but this bastard was the one who dared mention his mother.
“I… I, I’ll do it!”
[Lightning Bolt is activated.]
At that moment, Lightning Bolt poured from Jung Hoon’s hand and struck Hong Hyeon Woo.
Crackle.
“Uggggggh!”
The guy trembled as if electrocuted.
Being level 142, he didn’t die in one hit from Lightning Bolt.
Jung Hoon finished him off with the Myeongwang Fist Technique.
Hong Hyeon Woo’s body disappeared once again.
That made it a month-long suspension.
“Your answer was too slow. Consider yourself lucky.”
“Th, thank you…”
Kim Bong Gu barely managed to answer with a trembling voice.
“You said you’d do anything, right?”
“Yes!”
“Good. Then I’ll specially spare you.”
“Th, thank you.”
“Then participate in this Capsule Room siege event.”
“Capsule Room…?”
* * *
“That son of a bitch!”
Hong Hyeon Woo came out of the Capsule and clutched his head.
120 hours.
Since 5 days had passed, he logged in with Kim Bong Gu, hoping that guy might have given up.
But as expected.
That crazy Martial Artist bastard was right there in plain sight.
Even worse, next to him was Saber, the one they had put a request on.
So he knelt down and apologized as Kim Bong Gu had said.
To that damn bastard who deserved to be chewed up and spat out.
‘But he still killed me?’
He threw away his pride and apologized, only to get a 1-month suspension in return.
Ring-
Not long after, Kim Bong Gu contacted him.
[Hey, are you okay?]
“Fuck, did you die too? Ha, that’s why I told you not to apologize!”
Hong Hyeon Woo shouted angrily.
At his irritated voice, Kim Bong Gu let out a quiet sigh.
[You should have apologized properly then. I’m alive.]
“What…?”
[…It’s unfortunate, but he said he’ll suspend you again after the 1 month is over. If you don’t want to get hit, quit New World.]
“What bullshit.”
[Anyway, I warned you.]
Click.
“Hey! Hello? Hey!”
Hong Hyeon Woo hurriedly called Kim Bong Gu again.
However, the call didn’t connect.
