Chapter 83
“Kkeuheuuk…”
Kim Bong Gu’s body wouldn’t stop trembling.
Just moments ago, as he fell from the cliff, the terror of death had engulfed his entire body.
It was the first time he had experienced such terrifying fear.
It would be 100 times, 1,000 times better to die from taking damage and having his HP depleted.
“Sh-shit… I never want to experience something like this again.”
However, the problem was that he couldn’t muster the courage to climb this cliff again.
How high must it be that the top was completely hidden by clouds and couldn’t be seen at all.
“You crazy bastaaaard!”
Kim Bong Gu screamed with resentment filling his voice.
“What?”
Then Jung Hoon’s voice came from behind him.
Kim Bong Gu, whose mind suddenly snapped to attention, turned his head with difficulty like a broken robot.
“Huh…? How did you get here?”
“I came through a portal.”
Jung Hoon pointed to the blue portal behind him.
“…When has that portal been there?”
“You explored the Unknown Region, didn’t you? A portal that didn’t exist before was created in the process.”
“…”
Damn it.
So I was just used to open the portal!
Kim Bong Gu glared at Jung Hoon with eyes full of resentment.
Then Jung Hoon’s lips curved up crookedly.
“Oh, want to get hit?”
“N-no, sir.”
“Don’t say no. I heard all the cursing you just did.”
Jung Hoon approached Kim Bong Gu while clenching and unclenching his fists.
Kim Bong Gu’s face turned pale and he quickly dropped to his knees.
“I was wrong. I think I lost my mind.”
“No. I just felt it, and you’re definitely the type who would stab me in the back when things go wrong.”
“Absolutely not! Really not! I think I was crazy just now!”
[Master, just beat him up. Physiognomy is science. I’ve never seen a good guy who looks like that.]
As Mukho chimed in
“Shall I take care of him?”
Michael then started warming up his body.
“Hmm, let’s do it this way. From now on, we’re going to move to a new Field, and there’s something you need to do there.”
“What would that be…?”
“Luring.”
“Huh?”
* * *
Earth Korea Management Team.
The management team staff were working in a quiet atmosphere.
Except for occasionally running programs to manage users, they no longer executed real-time monitoring programs.
No, they couldn’t execute them.
[This is Hoyeong Guild Leader Yeo Soon Woo.]
Hoyeong had attempted to contact the Earth Korea Management Team.
In fact, the staff including Oh Jin Su knew which guild the user belonged to.
Since guild names appeared when searching for users anyway, there wasn’t really any security to speak of.
But the problem was what followed next.
[If you’re watching our guild member’s movements, please stop.]
How shocked they were by those words.
Oh Jin Su almost fainted on the spot.
Because they had been caught intensively monitoring the user.
One of the management team’s duties was to monitor users’ abnormal play and impose sanctions before problems arose, but in this case, they had no excuse even if criticized for abuse.
[I’ll believe that what happened until now was part of your duties. However, please know that continued surveillance from now on would be criminal.]
Yeo Soon Woo ended the contact with a light warning.
‘How on earth did he find out.’
All work of the management team was prohibited from being disclosed externally.
Yet Yeo Soon Woo acted as if he knew everything.
‘Sigh, anyway, it’s my fault.’
Honestly, there was no need to blame Yeo Soon Woo for this problem.
He was the one who had watched that user in the first place, and he was the one who had allowed staff to abuse the program.
In serious cases, it was a matter where he would have to take full responsibility and resign.
“Team Leader? About that user.”
One employee approached tactlessly and mentioned the user.
Then Oh Jin Su let out a low sigh and said.
“Didn’t you hear me say to leave that user alone now?”
“No… I did hear that. But that user discovered a bug…”
“A bug? What do you mean?”
Oh Jin Su abruptly stood up from his seat and headed to the employee’s monitor.
On that monitor, the user was caught being at the bottom of a cliff located at the edge of Autobahn West.
“Isn’t this originally a blocked area…?”
“…That’s right. It should be blocked.”
New World was a virtual reality game and a semi-open world game.
Unlike open world games where you can travel between all villages even without meeting level or condition requirements, you could only move beyond villages after fulfilling conditions like story progression or level requirements.
And originally, the western region of Autobahn should be blocked off at the cliff.
‘What is that…?’
Just like before at the Martial Tower, why do strange phenomena keep occurring wherever that user goes?
“What should we do?”
“What do you mean what should we do. This is a bug. We need to quickly ask headquarters to handle it.”
Oh Jin Su hurriedly returned to his seat and reported to headquarters.
He reported that a bug had been discovered in Autobahn.
[No problem.]
However, the response that came back was ridiculous.
* * *
Hoyoung Guild Leader’s Office.
“Guild Leader, even so, it’s Earth Korea… Did that really happen?”
Park In Tae looked incredulous.
“I don’t know either. I just did as I was asked.”
Jung Hoon had asked Yeo Soon Woo to give just one direct warning to the Earth Korea Management Team.
Just one warning.
After that, he asked him not to do anything else.
‘What if it turns out to be just unfounded worry?’
‘Then I’ll have to apologize. You’re the Hoyoung Guild Leader, so you can cover for me that much, can’t you?’
‘…Understood.’
He was truly a bold fellow.

The Incompletely Implemented City required forming a party to enter.
At that time, Maximus had entered together with the friend who had led him to New World.
When Jung Hoon met Maximus, he had already lost his friend, so they had never met, but since he occasionally talked about his friend, Jung Hoon felt a sense of kinship.
Though the ending was very shitty.
‘This time I’ll take it.’
Jung Hoon drew his bowstring.
[Lv.122 ???]
The strange creature visible before him.
It was a monster without even a name.
After aiming at its head, he released the drawn bowstring.
Fwooosh!
The arrow shot out and pierced through its head precisely.
“?#!@#!”
The creature let out an incomprehensible scream and vanished on the spot.
[Level increased.]
[All stats increased by +1.]
[Bonus stats +1 awarded.]
Then Jung Hoon leveled up and reached level 105.
The reason he could achieve explosive growth.
The reason was that the monsters’ experience points were abnormally high.
The fact that he had reached level 105 after hunting just 11 monsters was proof of that.
He was already looking forward to how much he would level up if he hunted from the entrance all the way to the Boss Zone inside.
“A-am I not supposed to hunt?!”
Kim Bong Gu’s voice could be heard from far away.
He was running around drawing the monsters’ attention.
“No.”
This was Bug City.
Perhaps because of that, even when forming a party, experience points weren’t distributed evenly.
95% went to the one who hunted, and the remaining 5% was distributed to party members.
To gain experience points, you had to succeed in hunting purely with your own strength.
Jung Hoon drew his bowstring again.
[Master, wouldn’t close combat be better to test my defense?]
Mukho was dissatisfied with Jung Hoon’s fighting method.
He had already lost all his stats due to the aftermath of the seal, and even the defense he still possessed couldn’t be tested in any situation.
“I’ll restore you soon, so wait a little longer.”
Not yet.
To grant Mukho new power, legendary-grade materials were needed.
-The method to restore Mukho is simple. You just need to reconstruct him according to your taste. However, you’ll need some materials.
The materials Siegfried mentioned were things that couldn’t be obtained immediately.
So Mukho needed to take a longer view.
Whoosh!
When he released the bowstring he had drawn, the arrow pierced through the monster’s head.
[Level increased.]
[All stats increased by +1.]
[Bonus stats +1 awarded.]
Had he hunted about 300 monsters?
Jung Hoon’s level broke through 115.
‘That’s enough.’
He had achieved his primary goal of reaching level 115.
“Huff huff… There don’t seem to be any more monsters.”
Kim Bong Gu, who had been running around for a while, was panting as if exhausted.
“Stop pretending to be tired.”
There’s no way an assassin over level 140 would be exhausted from just running this much.
According to his calculations, he should have leveled up once while receiving experience points bit by bit.
Being tired didn’t make sense.
At Jung Hoon’s words, Kim Bong Gu stood up from his spot.
“Is it that obvious?”
“Fucking obvious.”
“I’m sorry…”
“I was going to end it here, but it looks like I need to do a bit more.”
“Huh…?”
What Jung Hoon took out was a drill.
It wasn’t just any drill.
A MacGyver Drill.
It had special magic cast on it that allowed changing between over 10 different drill sizes, and when necessary, it could transform into a shovel for use.
‘From rope to drills… what exactly are you planning to do by ordering such items?’
Yeo Min Ji’s expression was full of curiosity as she handed over the item.
‘There might be necessary work to do.’
That necessary time was right now.
“From now on, we’re going to dig up all the ground.”
“This entire wide area?”
“No.”
The Incompletely Implemented City.
Above the city, it looked like viewing a desert.
A very flat desert at that.
Even while hunting monsters, there were no traces of oases, trees, grass, buildings, or anything.
‘I also thought at first that it would just end with abnormally rising experience points.’
At that time, Maximus tried to leave the dungeon after hunting monsters.
However, just before entering the boss zone, he discovered traces of a relic and dug up the entire area, soon finding a hidden opportunity.
“…Something will come out, right?”
Kim Bong Gu, who received the drill, let out a hollow laugh.
Where in this vast desert was he supposed to dig?
It was obviously going to be simple manual labor.
Surely this was a scheme to torment him because he was annoyed about the fake exhaustion act.
“Here it is. Let’s dig quickly.”
The place Jung Hoon pointed to was in front of the portal leading to the boss zone.
In front of it wasn’t desert, but a mountain of stone debris destroyed beyond recognition.
“You mean here…?”
“Then where else would we dig? We don’t have time, so move quickly.”
With those words, Jung Hoon also picked up a drill and began breaking through the area in front.
‘So I’m not doing it alone.’
So it wasn’t simple manual labor?
Kim Bong Gu began digging next to him, following his lead.
The largest-sized drill rotated rapidly, digging into the ground.
1 meter.
2 meters.
After digging for who knows how long, Jung Hoon and Kim Bong Gu’s bodies had gone so deep they couldn’t be seen from the surface.
“Ah, there’s nothing here!”
“Keep digging.”
“Yes!”
The work continued after that.
5m.
6m.
7m.
How long had it been?
Thud thud thud. Whirring.
The drill started spinning uselessly at some point.
This didn’t mean it couldn’t break through, but that the space below was completely empty.
[New@#!@ Stage!(($ Reached&*^]
And along with an error-filled message, the ground Kim Bong Gu was standing on collapsed, causing him to lose his balance and fall.
“Ahhhhh!”
Fortunately, the bottom wasn’t that deep, so there was almost no impact.
Jung Hoon landed stably beside him.
“So this is the place.”
The Incompletely Implemented City.
That Underground City was now spread out before their eyes.
Despite being a city hidden beneath the ground, it wasn’t as dark as expected.
This was because automatic correction was set to allow visual identification.
“Wh-where is this place?”
Kim Bong Gu asked while brushing off the dirt from his body.
“The Underground City.”
Though it was called an Underground City, it was quite shoddy since it wasn’t properly implemented.
According to Maximus, NPCs existed in this Underground City as well.
To obtain items necessary for growth, one had to go through those NPCs without exception.
Shortly after entering the city like that, a man who appeared to be in his late twenties caught their eye.
===
[NPC Information]
-Nickname : ^$@@
-Level : @#!
-Class : %@#
===
An NPC whose nickname, level, and class weren’t properly displayed.
Since it was a bug, the NPC also wasn’t properly implemented.
Seeing such an NPC, Jung Hoon’s lips curved up widely.
‘Found it.’
