Chapter 88
“Min Ji, let’s each take on a clone.”
“Yes!”
Jung Hoon deployed his Divine Movement to get close to the clone.
The clone also deployed Divine Movement and threw a punch at Jung Hoon.
The clean movements and the sharply extended fist.
He skillfully dodged the punch while feeling slightly impressed inside.
‘This is incredible? It can copy this perfectly?’
This time Jung Hoon threw a punch.
Myeongwang Martial Arts 1st Star.
The clone also dodged that punch with minimal movement.
[Clone A uses ‘All Stats Increase’.]
As Clone A used its ability, its aura changed.
[Lv.206 Clone A]
Its level instantly became 206.
Then it deployed its Fist Technique again.
‘It seems it can’t copy fortuitous encounters.’
If it had copied fortuitous encounters too, it would have pressured him with Myeongwang Fist Technique rather than just fist techniques.
Since it’s the greatest fist technique in existence.
Jung Hoon tried to dodge those fist techniques and look for an opening.
Then Clone A brought its hand to its waist and swung it like a whip.
‘Dangerous!’
Jung Hoon quickly deployed Divine Movement to widen the distance.
Clone A was holding a dagger in its hand.
Does it copy even the class?
From what he could see, it seemed able to use all skills learned through Strong Will.
“If you’re going to play it that way, I’ll crush you with item power.”
There was no need to stubbornly fight with pride.
[Black Field is activated.]
As the skill deployed, the ground around Jung Hoon turned black.
[All stats are adjusted to 1.2 times.]
[Due to Black Field’s influence, all stats of monsters invading the area decrease by 3%.]
Jung Hoon’s stats increased by 1.2 times, while conversely the clone’s stats decreased by 3%.
[Crush it! Smash that damn face!]
‘Damn face?’
Jung Hoon frowned slightly.
The clone’s face looked like Jung Hoon’s face.
[No… I mean crush that face that’s clumsily copying you.]
‘Right. I’ll crush you later too.’
[I was wrong!]
Mukho quickly expressed surrender.
Whooom!
Even though Black Field was activated, the clone began pressuring Jung Hoon.
“Sloppy.”
Jung Hoon’s lips curved up slightly.
The clone’s punches couldn’t even graze Jung Hoon’s collar.
The clone was literally a copy of Jung Hoon’s specs.
It was impossible to copy the experience melted within.
[All stats increase by 15%.]
[20% damage reduction is applied.]
[Time limit is ‘1 hour’.]
The Stat Amplification Ring on Jung Hoon’s finger.
Using the Stat Amplification Ring, the gap between Jung Hoon and the clone greatly narrowed.
That wasn’t all.
The legendary skill he obtained through Mukho this time, Diamond Body.
[Defense increases by 2 times.]
[Evasion rate increases by 2 times.]
Using Diamond Body, his defense and evasion rate jumped up by 2 times.
‘Should I test it?’
Jung Hoon deliberately didn’t dodge the incoming punch and took it.
Thwack!
Hm?
How should I put it.
It felt like a cotton bat.
Item power really is overpowered.
‘Myeongwang Fist Technique.’
This time, Jung Hoon’s fist struck the clone’s face.
From then on, it was an unstoppable force.
As the Myeongwang Fist Technique unfolded, the clone’s condition became a complete mess.
[…Wow, beating up yourself like that?]
Jung Hoon chuckled.
Why is that supposed to be me?
It’s so pathetic that it’s not even worth calling it a clone.
“You bastard!”
The clone that had been continuously beaten glared with fury.
Then it deployed Divine Movement to escape from Jung Hoon and drew its sword.
However, Jung Hoon was one beat faster.
‘Myeongwang Fist Technique 3rd Form.’
The Myeongwang Fist Technique upgraded to 3rd Form exploded into the clone’s abdomen.
“Kkeueuk!”
The creature screamed and swung down the sword it was holding.
Bwoong!
[Clone A uses ‘Single Strike’.]
It was a skill Jung Hoon had learned through swordsmanship.
A skill that strikes down with 150% damage.
However, Single Strike hit the innocent floor instead of Jung Hoon.
Because he had evaded using Divine Movement.
‘Its weaknesses are completely exposed.’
Before his regression, Jung Hoon wasn’t the type to crush opponents with brute force.
His method was to hide his flaws as much as possible and exploit the opponent’s gaps to achieve victory.
For that, one needed to have self-objectification.
It was nearly impossible to subdue such a Jung Hoon using the same techniques.
Bwoong!
Jung Hoon’s fist once again struck the clone’s face hard.
The continuing combo of Myeongwang Fist Technique.
The Myeongwang Fist Technique, upgraded beyond 3rd Form to 4th Form, pummeled the clone’s body.
“Kkeuraak!”
After being beaten for a while, the clone couldn’t endure it and dissipated.
Thud thud.
As it dissipated, two gray crystals fell to the floor.
[Random Enhancement Stone]
-By restoring the gray crystal, you can obtain the enhancement stone sleeping within it.
So it’s a Random Enhancement Stone.
Jung Hoon put those crystals into his inventory.
“Jung Hoon! Are you okay?!”
Yeo Min Ji ran over to Jung Hoon.
Her physical condition was very poor.
Her face was so bloodied that it was unrecognizable, and several pieces of her defensive equipment were completely destroyed.
It was the aftermath of facing her own clone.
“Are you the one who should be asking if you’re okay, Min Ji?”
“Yes. And did you see just now? I triggered Critical Hit twice!”
She said proudly.
“No. I was busy dealing with my clone so I didn’t see.”
“…Is that so.”
Seeing her mumble with a dejected expression, Jung Hoon added:
“Still, twice is amazing.”
“Are you complimenting me because I looked disappointed?”
“Is it that obvious?”
“Totally.”
Yeo Min Ji took out a potion from her inventory and drank it.
Her bloodied face recovered slightly, but that was all.
“Min Ji, wait a moment.”
Jung Hoon approached her and placed his hand on her.
[Using Intermediate Healing.]
He used Intermediate Healing on her five times in succession.
Then her face returned to normal.
“Jung Hoon, don’t tell me you can even use Healing?”
As her body recovered, Yeo Min Ji looked at Jung Hoon with dazed eyes.
What he had just used was Healing.
“Yes. I obtained Divine Power in the tutorial.”
“In the tutorial…?”
“Yes.”
“What were the conditions for that?!”
“You choose the talisman and pass up to stage 3.”
Beginner’s Talisman.
By selecting that talisman and clearing the tutorial up to stage 3, you could obtain Divine Power.
“What?! How did you get to stage 3 with a talisman? Is that even possible in the first place?”
“I worked hard at it and it worked out.”
“That’s impossible…”
Yeo Min Ji couldn’t pass stage 2 even though she chose knuckles.
Fighting high-level monsters at level 1 with no experience was nearly impossible.
But he passed stage 3 with just a talisman and no weapon?
What kind of person was he really?
“More importantly, it looks like you should help those guild members over there.”
Jung Hoon pointed to the three guild members.
Perhaps because the clone had used Stat Enhancement, they were getting beaten up by it.
“…Alright. I’ll go help them, so please rest here.”
Yeo Min Ji hurriedly joined the guild members.
* * *
At the same time, Yeo Soon Woo arrived at Rohais Territory leading the executives.
The reason they arrived earlier than planned was because they had received contact from Yeo Min Ji.
“What? It’s Yeo Soon Woo!”
“Yeo Soon Woo?”
“That guild master of Hoyeong?!”
“Move!”
“You move!”
Yeo Soon Woo’s appearance caused chaos in Rohais Territory.
Users didn’t hesitate to push and shove to get even a little closer to see Hoyeong’s guild leader.
“Phew, how noisy.”
On the other hand, Yeo Soon Woo didn’t like their stares.
Right now his mind was filled with worry about his daughter Yeo Min Ji.
“Guild Leader, let’s go right away.”
“Right.”
Hoyeong’s guild members pushed back the users and secured space.
Thanks to that, Yeo Soon Woo was able to reach Früneum quickly.
At the entrance to Früneum, he could see his daughter sitting and taking a rest.
“Min Ji!”
Yeo Soon Woo rushed over to Yeo Min Ji.
His beloved wife had passed away early from illness, and he had vowed to protect his daughter no matter what happened.
Though he said he trusted his daughter, how could he call himself a father if he didn’t worry?
“Father… I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Yeo Min Ji hung her head low with a dejected expression.
“No. It’s okay. More importantly, what happened here?”
“…I was able to survive thanks to Jung Hoon.”
She pointed to Jung Hoon.
“Hmm? What do you mean by that?”
Yeo Soon Woo tilted his head.
No matter how skilled Jung Hoon was, he wasn’t at the level to save her life.
If anything, the opposite should have been normal.
However, the explanation that followed from Yeo Min Ji shocked Yeo Soon Woo greatly.
The executives listening nearby were equally shocked.
“A, a trap that prevented logout…?”
“Yes.”
Yeo Min Ji nodded.
The trap was a maze, and it was the worst kind of maze with no correct answer.
The only way to break through that maze was to punch through the walls entirely, and Jung Hoon had broken through each wall for them, which was how they could escape.
“…Is that true?”
Yeo Soon Woo called over the guild members who had been trapped to verify the truth.
Even though they hadn’t fully recovered mentally, they gave the exact same testimony as Yeo Min Ji.
After the testimony ended, the executives took measures so they could quickly log out.
First, they needed to rest their bodies.
“Guild Leader… it seems we need to file a complaint with New World Headquarters about this.”
“We have to.”
Yeo Soon Woo’s expression was extremely menacing.
People nearly died because of their mistake.
They couldn’t just let this kind of mistake slide.
* * *
===
[This is the New World Development Team.]
-Hello. This is the New World Development Team.
First, we would like to apologize to the users who were caught up in the error.
New World is gradually preparing to bring about winds of new change, and an error occurred during this process.
We will do our best to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the future.
-New World Development Team
===
“That’s it?”
Yeo Soon Woo burst into laughter, then suddenly hardened his face coldly.
His daughter had almost lost her life.
And they were going to brush it off with just a few words of apology?
“Have I seen everything there is to see in this damn game.”
Were they acting like they held all the cards?
They probably meant if he didn’t like it, he could quit.
“…Should I quit.”
“That absolutely cannot happen!”
Executive Lee Chang Baek, who heard Yeo Soon Woo’s muttering, urgently shouted.
He was a founding member who had established the guild together with Yeo Soon Woo and a ranker who continued to serve as his right hand to this day.
“I know. How could I quit after building up Hoyeong this far.”
“Please don’t give me such a scare…”
Lee Chang Baek truly respected Yeo Soon Woo.
Hoyeong’s rise from nothing to this point was entirely due to Yeo Soon Woo’s abilities.
Without such a Yeo Soon Woo, Hoyeong would no longer be able to shine.
“What’s the situation with the Früneum search?”
“We conducted a search afterwards, and fortunately, they say no traps were discovered.”
“That’s fortunate. They must have handled it properly.”
“Yes.”
He was quite heated about them only sending a single word of apology, but anyway, it seemed they had handled the matter properly.
“And I’d like you to arrange a separate meeting with guild member Jung Hoon.”
“With guild member Jung Hoon?”
“Yes.”
Jung Hoon.
The benefactor who saved Yeo Min Ji and the guild members.
Giving thanks to such a benefactor was a very natural course of action.
“Schedule an appointment for 1-2 weeks from now. I’m thinking of putting together a list of rewards.”
“1-2 weeks from now…? Understood.”
The timeframe was longer than expected.
That meant he intended to give thanks very thoroughly.
* * *
Hoyeong Guild Training Ground.
“Miss! They say no more traps can be seen.”
“Really?”
Color returned to Yeo Min Ji’s face upon receiving the guild member’s report.
“Yes!”
Users who had been stationed in Rohais while Hoyeong searched Früneum leaked information to Welcome.
[I heard Hoyeong discovered traps?]
-For real, that’s chilling. I went to Früneum a few days ago?
└But isn’t it a bit strange?
└The only missing people were Hoyeong guild members.
└In a dungeon where so many people came and went, only that few got caught in traps?
└Right… something seems a bit odd?
That’s right.
So much time had passed since Früneum opened, yet those caught in traps could be counted on one’s fingers.
‘They said it was an error?’
The apology letter sent by the New World Development Team.
Yeo Soon Woo was angry, but Yeo Min Ji was also furious about that apology letter.
How could a game enjoyed by countless users commit such a fatal error?
And yet they finished it off with just a simple apology.
‘…Ha, but the media isn’t covering this at all?’
Hoyeong was a large guild and well-known.
Even though such a famous guild was victimized, whatever they did, the surroundings remained quiet.
Posts uploaded to Welcome were quickly deleted, and it became quiet not long after.
“Miss…”
“…Never mind. Let’s just be thankful that everyone is safe.”
Since everyone was safe, she was grateful for just that.
“Understood.”
“More importantly, did you get the camera I asked for?”
“Yes! Here it is!”
He held out a camera.
Usually, cameras aren’t used very often.
The reason is that all users have Smart Lens.
All the strategy videos uploaded to Welcome can be said to be filmed with Smart Lens.
Nevertheless, cameras exist because they’re used for major events like leagues.
New World’s cameras are much superior in performance compared to Smart Lens, so they’re expensive and rarely used items unless for tournament purposes.
The reason he got such a camera was.
‘I want to try filming some videos.’
It was none other than Jung Hoon’s request.
‘…Suddenly?’
It was truly a puzzling request, but anyway, it was Jung Hoon’s request.
‘Yes. Please.’
How could she refuse when the person who saved her life was making a serious request.
Honestly, she was prepared to grant even greater requests than this.
Yeo Min Ji hurriedly sent a whisper to Jung Hoon.
