Chapter 85

Above the head of the NPC who had evacuated outside the building, an exclamation mark was blinking.

It meant the quest was completed.

“Th!@#.”

[You have completed the qu%#$.]

[You have obtained $!@! Secret Medicine.]

Perfect.

This secret medicine was the ‘Growth Potion’ he had drunk before.

It was an item that greatly increased experience points, and though there was only one bottle, its volume reached 1 liter.

With this, he would be able to level up further without hunting.

[The underground city will be destroyed.]

And as the boss disappeared, Bug City slowly began to vanish.

There was no longer any reason for it to exist.

“$!@$#!@#.”

The man’s voice was completely broken beyond comprehension, but from the relieved smile on his lips, Jung Hoon could guess what he was saying.

‘He’s probably thanking me for liberating him.’

A life where he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to due to the bug.

He must feel relieved to finally be able to end such a tedious existence.

As the man turned to white ash and disappeared, Jung Hoon sent Michael back.

“Let’s go back too.”

“Yes.”

Kim Bong Gu’s face brightened.

And as soon as they came out through the portal, Kim Bong Gu got Jung Hoon’s permission and hurriedly logged out, disappearing.

[Kuk kuk, he looks so good running away.]

Mukho giggled.

“Mukho, I’ve been thinking about upgrading your abilities a bit.”

[My abilities? You said it wasn’t possible right now?]

“That’s what I said. But this thing appeared.”

What Jung Hoon pulled out was the unidentified magic stone he had obtained after dealing with the Aberrant Being.

* * *

Italian Server.

“Maximus! I found a bug!”

“A bug?”

“That’s right! Why wouldn’t New World fix a bug? They deliberately hid an opportunity there!”

Maximus rested his chin on his hand and fell into thought.

The person in front of him was Federico, his friend since childhood.

He was so smart that he had been called a genius since he was young.

His genius also applied to computers, and he had participated in various programming competitions and won championships.

Of course, when New World came out, he completely gave up programming.

So Federico’s words wouldn’t be false.

But no matter how much he thought about it, it seemed strange.

“It doesn’t make sense. How many opportunities have been discovered so far?”

Maximus was lucky enough to discover an opportunity at level 36.

That’s why he was able to obtain a Unique Grade job after his 2nd Job Advancement.

However, while playing New World, there had never been any news of bugs.

“No, I’m telling you! This is something New World hid in a different form!”

Federico placed a note on the table.

[Western Region’s Edge]

-!@#!@#%

In the note, all the letters were corrupted except for “Western Region’s Edge.”

Federico looked at this note and instantly realized it was a bug.

This was because when bugs usually occurred, existing things would become distorted in the same way.

“A different form?”

It had been a while since Federico was this proactive.

“Yes! New World. Does it make sense that New World would just leave such a bug alone?”

The reason he, who had been successful as a programmer and swept competitions, suddenly threw everything away was largely due to New World’s influence.

‘This is impossible! Such technology exists in the world!’

The helplessness of knowing that no matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up to those who developed New World…

And at the same time, he had fallen for the charm of New World.

It was a collection of technologies that far transcended the modern era that they had implemented.

“…Alright. So where is it?”

“Very close! It’s called Autoban!”

“If it’s Autoban, isn’t that here?”

This was Autoban’s Plaza.

True to the Italian Server, all users in Autoban were Italian.

And the place Federico guided them to was a cliff located at the end of Autobahn West.

“The place is over there beyond that!”

“…This is the end of the territory. Didn’t New World block it off?”

New World wasn’t a single world setting.

It was a semi-open world game that connected numerous worlds together.

So the development team had blocked off areas to prevent going beyond a certain range of the territory.

“This place is fine!”

Federico said that and jumped down the cliff.

Like a true mage, he cast flying magic and slowly descended, but the height was dizzying.

“Hey! If you go down alone, what am I supposed to do?”

Unlike him, Maximus was a Martial Artist.

But before long, a portal was created in front of him.

It was a transport portal that could instantly take him down to the bottom of the cliff.

“What? Was there something down there that activates portals?”

Maximus was puzzled but took the portal down anyway.

But there was nothing at the bottom.

“Huh? Nothing? Where did it go?”

“…Isn’t this not Autobahn?”

“That can’t be! Look at this!”

Federico pointed to the note again.

-Auto%@bahn’s west%^ edge

There were legible letters.

“Auto… bahn…?”

“Right. Autobahn. You saw the portal being created when we came down, right? This is definitely it!”

“…But there’s nothing here?”

Even after searching the entire bottom of the cliff, the opportunity was never found.

* * *

[You can enhance my abilities in this stinking place? I don’t think so…]

Mukho muttered in a suspicious voice.

That’s because the place Jung Hoon arrived at was a small cabin located a bit away from the cliff.

An abandoned house that didn’t look like even one person could live in it.

The reason for visiting such an abandoned house was simple.

‘He’s here.’

The one who could enhance Mukho’s abilities, that is.

Looking closely, the cabin was quite clean and well-maintained to be called abandoned.

Also, signs of human presence could be felt from inside.

Jung Hoon knocked on the cabin door.

“Who the hell is it.”

A deep voice came from inside.

“I came because I have business.”

“Stop talking nonsense and get lost.”

A cold voice returned.

“I brought a magic stone.”

“…So what?”

There we go.

Jung Hoon’s lips curled up slightly.

It was brief, but he had hesitated for a moment.

“I’m trying to do an enchant, but there’s no one around with that kind of ability.”

Enchant.

Unlike evolution, refining, and enhancement, it refers to the work of forcibly granting external power to add new performance and attributes.

It could be seen as similar in nature to soul stones, but just like only those with skills related to egos could handle them, enchant was the same.

And the person Jung Hoon came to find was a man who could be called a master of enchanting.

“I don’t do that stuff. Stop talking nonsense and leave.”

However, the cabin door showed no signs of opening.

But if he forced his way in, he wouldn’t be able to make a request.

Jung Hoon knocked again and spoke.

“It’s legendary armor. And the magic stone is something that hasn’t appeared in the world and hasn’t been verified.”

As Jung Hoon remembered, this master was said to be extremely curious.

Legendary equipment rarely appeared, and an unverified magic stone at that.

It was more than enough elements to stimulate his curiosity.

[What? You’re going to put something unverified on me?! Are you trying to kill someone!]

‘Be quiet since you’re being noisy.’

[Damn master! You’re holding a sword to my throat and telling me to stay calm? Would you do it if you were me?!]

‘He’s going to enhance you.’

[Enhancement my ass. This is a biological experiment!]

Leaving the noisy Mukho behind, he waited for an answer from inside.

“…Come in.”

With those words, the tightly closed cabin slowly opened.

In front stood an old man in his seventies.

===

[NPC Information]

-Nickname : Irno

-Level : 150

-Class : Forgotten Craftsman

===

Jung Hoon sat across from him on an old chair.

Then Irno brought a cup of green tea and set it down on the table.

“Thank you.”

“…Is that martial outfit you’re wearing legendary?”

Like a true craftsman, Irno recognized Muk Ho at a glance.

“You can tell?”

“It would be strange not to notice something emanating such tremendous aura.”

In fact, only Irno could recognize it.

Originally, when starting New World, you can automatically set your items to private.

Unless you directly change it to public, others can’t identify them.

Naturally, Jung Hoon hadn’t set it to public, so users couldn’t recognize it.

“I see.”

“But it’s only half-complete?”

Oh, he can even tell that?

[Half? Do you want your mouth split in two?]

Though Muk Ho reacted irritably, Jung Hoon simply ignored it.

“So I want to use this for enhancement.”

Jung Hoon took out a magic stone from his inventory and placed it on the table.

Upon seeing that magic stone, Irno’s pupils began trembling wildly.

“H-how did you obtain this?!”

“Do you know about this magic stone?”

“Huh… Of course. How could I not recognize this.”

A magic stone designated as Unique Grade, but whose performance rivals that of Legendary.

It was a Special Grade Magic Stone.

Irno had lived as an enchanter for 60 years but had only encountered up to Supreme Grade Magic Stones.

Special Grade Magic Stones were magic stones that came down only in legends, ones that no one could handle.

Such a Special Grade Magic Stone was now right before his eyes.

“That’s fortunate. So you’re saying you can handle this?”

“Handling it isn’t the problem… where on earth did you get this?”

“I was lucky.”

“This is absolutely not something you can get through luck! It’s a legendary magic stone!”

Irno raised his voice.

Unlike when he knocked on the cabin door, he was filled with excitement.

‘He has no choice but to be.’

Jung Hoon knew that this Special Grade Magic Stone barely existed in New World.

It wasn’t a magic stone that enchanters could easily encounter.

“So what will you do?”

“…Are you really going to entrust this to me?”

Irno’s gaze wouldn’t leave the magic stone.

“Yes. That’s why I came all the way here.”

“…Then entrust this to me. I’ll definitely make it succeed.”

A question mark appeared above Irno’s head.

[Hidden Quest : Craftsman Irno]

-Restriction : Irno’s motivation Max

-Reward : Enchant success

-Description : Request an enchant from Irno.

Thanks to the Special Grade Magic Stone, the quest appeared quickly.

‘Perfect.’

If it hadn’t been a Special Grade Magic Stone, Irno’s heart couldn’t have been swayed.

Jung Hoon accepted the quest.

“I’ll be counting on you.”

[Hey! I don’t want to go to that guy!]

As he tried to take off Muk Ho, Muk Ho went berserk.

‘It’s to make your abilities stronger.’

[What if he fails? What if he fails!]

‘He won’t fail. That person is a real craftsman.’

[!@#$]

As Muk Ho spewed curses, Jung Hoon quickly threw off Muk Ho.

Mukho’s voice was no longer heard and cut off abruptly.

“Just trust me. I may not look like it, but I’m an enchanter with a 99.14% success rate.”

“How long will it take?”

“…Well, if I give myself plenty of time, about 8 hours should do it.”

It takes longer than I thought.

“Yes.”

“Then shall I come back in 8 hours?”

Irno came out of the cabin and entered the workshop behind it.

The workshop was only one-third the size of the cabin.

Who would have thought that was the workshop.

“I’ll watch.”

“Understood.”

8 hours.

There was plenty of time.

Jung Hoon returned to the cabin and sat on the floor.

Now it was time to consume the Secret Medicine he received from the Quest.
