Chapter 81

Jung Hoon was so dumbfounded he couldn’t even speak.

[Take it off right now?! You’re nothing but a bug, not worthy of wearing such a precious item!]

‘I put a seal on it because it’s a fierce one.’

So that’s what he meant.

But this isn’t fierce, it’s just plain rude, isn’t it?

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Sorry, but I can be quite rude too.

Of course, it depends on who I’m dealing with.

[Ha, how did I end up hearing such lowly words from this idiot? This is all because of that bastard Siegfried. Where is Siegfried? Huh? Where is he?! Tell me quickly!]

Mukho started going crazy.

Since the voice was echoing inside his head, Jung Hoon felt his head throbbing.

“You won’t do.”

He could understand harboring ill feelings after being sealed by Siegfried for so long, but first he wanted to solve this headache.

Jung Hoon took off the Mukho he was wearing.

Then Mukho’s voice disappeared completely.

===

[Sealed Mokho]

-Type: Defensive Equipment

-Grade: Epic

-(Sealed)

-(Conditions are required to break the seal.)

===

The stats were still in a sealed state.

Mukho would have to accept Jung Hoon as its master for Siegfried’s seal to naturally break.

“Let’s just tear it apart.”

Jung Hoon growled lowly while looking at Mukho.

Sometimes you have to subdue with force those who won’t listen to reason.

Now was exactly that time.

‘It would take at least Anima to damage it.’

If it’s too difficult to tame, let’s just get rid of it.

Jung Hoon took out Anima and put Mukho back on.

“I’m going to tear you apart now.”

“Who?”

Anima was naturally summoned and climbed onto Jung Hoon’s shoulder.

“The clothes I’m wearing now.”

“Ah. Where did those rags come from? Don’t wear them, take them off. Disgusting.”

[Disgusting? Your lizard eyes are disgusting.]

Mukho’s target shifted to Anima.

Then Anima’s eyes sparkled.

“Oh, clothes that can talk?”

[Clothes? Puhaha! With those candy-like eyes, you couldn’t possibly recognize my nobility.]

Anima, as if it wasn’t even worth responding, grinned at Jung Hoon and said.

“Hoon, shoot about 100 arrows into it.”

“I was thinking the same thing.”

[What? You don’t actually think you can do something to me with arrows, do you?]

Mukho snorted.

“Why not?”

Jung Hoon grinned and carelessly threw Mukho to the ground.

Then he casually drew Anima’s bowstring and shot at Mukho.

The Mana Arrow pierced through Mukho precisely.

“One shot isn’t enough.”

Anima said with a serious expression.

“I know.”

Jung Hoon drew the bowstring again and kept shooting at Mukho.

1 shot, 2 shots, 3 shots, 4 shots.

After passing 10 shots, Mukho’s sleeve fluttered slightly.

Was it a signal to stop?

He slowly lowered the drawn bowstring and approached Mukho to pull out the embedded arrows.

Then the Mana Arrows disappeared without a trace.

‘Let’s see?’

Jung Hoon put Mukho back on his body.

[Kyaaaah! Stop it! Stop!]

Mukho’s screams echoed through his mind.

“Ah, being noisy again.”

Anima, who had been quietly listening from Jung Hoon’s shoulder, frowned.

“Still not properly trained.”

“I agree.”

“Let’s shoot 20 more arrows and then continue talking.”

As Jung Hoon tried to take off Mukho, an urgent voice echoed in his mind.

[Talk! Let’s talk!]

At that request, Jung Hoon paused his motion of taking it off.

“Talking sounds good.”

“Tch, we should have done more.”

Anima climbed onto Jung Hoon’s head, clearly showing disappointment.

[Grr, you eyeball candy. Don’t get cocky.]

“Getting cocky? Know your place, will you?”

[Looking like yellow piss.]

“What?! Piss? This bastard worse than ink.”

[Hahaha, at least I don’t smell like urine, right? Just looking at you, I can tell your size. Get close and you’d probably smell like goblin armpit sweat.]

“Hoon! Beat this bastard up! Beat him!”

As it quickly turned into a verbal fight, Jung Hoon quickly intervened.

“Stop it. Want me to hit you with 100 arrows?”

[Damn… This is strange. Why does it hurt? What the hell did you do to me?]

Perhaps because it was quite painful, Mukho quickly became docile.

Indeed, they say beating is the medicine for crazy bastards.

The wisdom of our ancestors is truly amazing.

“Who knows? Anyway, I’m trying to tame you.”

[Ha, you? The great me?]

“If you don’t like it, I’ll throw you in the fire.”

Siegfried said that because Mukho has a will, even if the martial outfit tears and burns, it recovers quickly.

That means it probably has the ability to automatically restore durability.

However, right now all abilities are sealed.

As evidence, Mukho was currently in tatters from being used as an arrow target.

[Fire…?]

Perhaps anxious, Mukho’s voice seemed to tremble slightly.

“That’s right. Right now all your abilities are sealed. So if you burn, you’ll be destroyed.”

[You’d destroy me?!]

“If I can’t tame you, it would be better to get rid of you.”

He was serious.

Even without Mukho, he could just replace it with other defensive equipment.

Perhaps sensing Jung Hoon’s sincerity, Mukho added in an urgent voice.

[You’ll regret destroying me?! I may look like this, but I’m Muk Ho! Muk Ho!]

“I might regret it a little. But that’s okay.”

[…Don’t lie. There’s no way a human, being a lump of desire, wouldn’t feel greed looking at me!]

“Too much self-love is also troublesome.”

Jung Hoon smiled bitterly.

“Hoon, are you really going to burn it? I’m absolutely in favor.”

Anima smiled brightly.

“If you don’t acknowledge me as your master, then yes.”

[If I acknowledge you as master?]

“Then the seal would be released and there’d be no destruction.”

[…I understand. I’ll take you as my master.]

Mukho spoke as if giving up.

Then the tattered Mukho began to shine with golden light, and golden stripes were carved across the entire black martial outfit.

[Mukho’s seal is being released.]

[You have become Mukho’s master.]

===

[Muk Ho]

-Type: Defensive Equipment

-Grade: Legendary

-Defense: ? (Adjusted to match wearer’s level)

-Evasion Rate: ? (Adjusted to match wearer’s level)

-Physical Damage Reduction: 15%

-Magic Damage Reduction: 15%

-Remaining Durability: 100% (Durability automatically recovers.)

-Special Ability (1): X (Ability lost due to seal’s aftermath)

-Special Ability (2): X (Ability lost due to seal’s aftermath)

-Special Ability (3): X (Ability lost due to seal’s aftermath)

===

However, Mukho’s stats were not very good, making the Legendary grade seem meaningless.

Having been sealed for so long, it had lost most of its abilities.

[Kiyaaak! What the hell are these pathetic options?]

Mukho let out a scream.

It seemed to be quite a shock.

On the other hand, Jung Hoon was very calm.

‘I can restore it later.’

If something was lost, he could just restore it again.

Of course, Mukho, who didn’t know this, was making a fuss.

How did Siegfried manage to carry around such a guy?

If it weren’t Legendary, he might have just thrown it to another Martial Artist.

“Geez, so noisy. Be quiet!”

Anima shouted loudly.

[Shut up! Do you know how I feel? Do you understand my heart when even the remaining stats disappeared after being trapped in clothes!]

“How could I not know? I was originally a dragon too.”

[…You were trapped too?]

“Well, you could say it’s similar.”

[…]

Mukho shut his mouth tight.

Did he feel a sense of kinship?

“Anyway, let’s head back…”

As Jung Hoon was about to turn around, he noticed record papers wrapped in red cloth beside him.

Siegfried’s name was written on those as well.

But inside, there was only one sheet of paper.

-If you’ve unsealed Mukho, you’ll be able to see the writing on the first line. Take this paper with you. I’ll tell you how to restore Mukho’s abilities.

It seemed to be written with special ink.

Jung Hoon put that paper in his inventory.

* * *

[Whisper/Minzi -> Hoon : Jung Hoon! Do you have time by any chance? The guild leader really wants to meet you…]

When he came out of the Martial Tower, there was a whisper from Yeo Min Ji.

‘Of course. Even Mother obtained a Hidden Class.’

Jung Hoon, who had briefly joined Hoyeong, readily agreed.

The location was a cafe near home.

There were too many watching eyes to make contact inside the game.

‘We rented the entire cafe, so let’s meet there.’

Yeo Soon Woo had apparently rented the entire cafe.

Thanks to that, the cafe’s tables were completely empty.

When Jung Hoon and Mother entered the cafe, Yeo Min Ji, who had arrived early, greeted them warmly.

“I’m sorry for suddenly asking you to come like this.”

“It’s fine. The guild leader is your father, right?”

Mother smiled brightly and waved her hand.

Yeo Min Ji blushed and nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. I’ll be here beside you so nothing strange comes up, so don’t worry.”

“Alright.”

The three took their seats, and not long after, Yeo Soon Woo entered the cafe.

‘They look alike.’

Yeo Soon Woo appeared to be in his early to mid-40s, with a small face and distinct features that gave him enough presence to be an actor.

Yeo Min Ji was the spitting image of such a father.

To the extent that no one could doubt they were father and daughter.

“You arrived first. I hope I’m not late.”

There were still 10 minutes left until the appointed time.

“It’s fine. We haven’t been here long either.”

Mother said, waving her hand.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Once Yeo Soon Woo was seated, the cafe owner approached the table with a menu.

“Please let me know if there’s any drink you’d like.”

Normally, they would have to go to the counter to order or use a kiosk, but since Yeo Soon Woo had rented the entire cafe, the owner came out to take orders directly.

When Mother and Jung Hoon chose Americano, it naturally became Americano for everyone.

“Um… The reason I suddenly asked to meet is to promise you better treatment.”

However, with the job change to Hidden Class, Yeo Soon Woo had no choice but to step forward himself.

To promise much better treatment than whatever contract they had before.

“You’ll do even more than this?”

Mother looked slightly surprised.

Although she couldn’t be with her son yet, she was quite satisfied as she was receiving full support from Hoyeong to the extent that enjoying the game was no problem.

“Yes. We want to increase the scale of support.”

Starting with dungeons appropriate for your level, plus equipment and item support.

In addition to this, they would provide an additional 500 gold per month, plus extra compensation based on guild contributions.

‘500 gold would be equivalent to 5 million won per month.’

Mother also seemed to know the value of gold, as her eyes widened in surprise.

“My goodness….”

It was more than her monthly salary.

“Of course, this is just the basic compensation. You’ll receive bonuses every time you participate in guild-related activities.”

Mother couldn’t leave the Beginner Zone yet, so she wouldn’t receive bonuses.

However, even the basic compensation alone exceeded her salary, making it an attractive offer.

“I’d be grateful if you’re offering it.”

“Ah, I didn’t explain properly. If you decide to quit your job, we’ll add your current monthly salary to the basic compensation.”

Mother was currently working while playing the game.

Since it was quite a demanding schedule, this meant they would provide additional compensation if she focused on New World.

“Hmm….”

She couldn’t help but be conflicted.

Though she had started playing because she wanted to game with her son, Mother was now completely absorbed in New World.

“With this much, wouldn’t it be fine to focus on New World?”

Meaning she wouldn’t need to keep working at her job.

Of course, the choice was Mother’s to make.

Jung Hoon knew the future, but forcing Mother to do this or that was unthinkable.

Even if she decided to keep working, he would respect that choice.

“…Alright. Since it’s come to this, let’s give it a try.”

Mother made her decision faster than expected.

“I’ll make sure you never regret that choice.”

Yeo Soon Woo spoke confidently, then turned his gaze to Jung Hoon.

“Hmm, I suppose I can receive support for dungeons and items as much as I want?”

That was what Jung Hoon was focused on.

“Of course. Hoyeong promises to give Jung Hoon the best treatment. Even after you leave, of course.”

One of the conditions Yeo Min Ji had offered.

Jung Hoon could leave whenever he wanted.

“Good. Then let me make just one request right now.”
