22. Breakfast and lunch
Jo Jung-sik was a fairly famous gangster leader in Seoul.
If you’re a Chinese fan, there’s no gangster you don’t know about.
In particular, he rose to the position of leader at the young age of 31.
Even in Seoul, where it is known to be tight.
‘It’s talent, talent. ‘It was decided by heaven that I should become a gangster since I was young.’
Jo Jung-sik also admitted that he is very talented.
The environment, physical requirements, intelligence, fighting skills, courage, etc. to become a gangster.
There wasn’t a single thing missing.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to create an organization in Seoul that bears his name.
‘But why? ‘Why do I have to be dragged into this f*cking place?’
I went to watch a bell-ringing event without my organization members knowing and was suddenly dragged into another world.
‘I accidentally created a nickname called ‘Life is a Documentary’… … .’
There was no change in the fact that it was an unfortunate situation.
Even though I kept swearing, nothing changed.
You just have to kill the green monsters to survive.
‘You damn god bastard. I somehow survive in this f*cking place.’
He cursed God and cut down the goblin.
It was a struggle to survive, but surprisingly, Cho and Jung-sik adapted well.
In fact, he cleared the first round with ease, even finishing in second place in his district.
‘As expected, my fighting skills aren’t going anywhere, are they?’
Catching the goblin was easy.
In particular, the [Rune of Perception] obtained from random rune fragments was a great help.
‘You can sense the other person’s movements in advance. ‘Isn’t this too easy?’
Nevertheless, Jo Jung-sik was dissatisfied with the fact that he only came in second place.
‘Who is in first place? ‘Black scythe?’
I am familiar with the nickname Black Scythe.
He was the first person to rush in and slaughter the goblins while people were confused.
‘What is this guy doing? It only took him 10 minutes to catch 100, right?’
Even though he had spent his entire life fighting, it took him more than 23 minutes.
‘Can I become a special forces soldier? ‘X arm.’
The boss of the Chinese restaurant in Seoul can only come in second place.
It’s something that can’t help but hurt your pride.
From this time on, Jo Jung-sik secretly paid attention to the black sickle.
‘I end up first in the next round.’
A month later, when round 2 started and the quest was released.
Jo Jung-sik could not help but be disappointed.
‘what? Choosing a district representative? So what’s the ranking?’
This is a disappointing situation for Jo Jung-sik, who was expecting a ranking match with Black Scythe.
‘Besides, you want me to mess around with the idiots here for three hours?’
I was very dissatisfied with the fact that I had to debate with idiots who were far inferior to me, who was in second place.
‘Oh, should I follow in like that bastard? ‘There might be some prey?’
He thought for a moment when he saw the black scythe entering the forest, but Jo Jung-sik decided otherwise.
‘No. Hunting isn’t important right now. It is important to occupy the powerful position of district representative.’
The benefit of the right to lead all humans like slaves caught Jo Jung-sik’s footsteps.
‘Rather, it went well. A black scythe would have only gotten in the way. I am king here.’
Jo Jung-sik remained in his position and observed the situation with the sole intention of becoming the district representative.
While I was measuring the timing for my departure, something strange happened.
Isn’t this a young grassroots youth standing up as a representative and inciting people?
‘what? ‘Who is that instigator?’
Jo Jung-sik frowned at the sight of him coming out of nowhere and persuading people.
In particular, the system message that appeared every time a grassroots youth spoke was annoying.
[A grassroots youth is beguiling the player with a rune of persuasion.]
[Your level is higher than your opponent, so you are immune from the influence of persuasion.]
His runes revealed the power of the grassroots youth.
‘Rune of persuasion? Are you inciting people with that?’
After reading the message, I understood the situation to some extent.
‘I guess if the level is high, you won’t be affected by persuasion?’
The others were level 5, but breakfast and lunch were currently level 6.
It was a godsend that I received [Level Up] as a reward for ranking 2nd in the area.
‘You damn instigator. ‘I have to kill that bastard first.’
Without further ado, Cho Joong-sik stabbed the civilian youth to death.
People seemed shocked by the sight, but to him, a gangster, this was nothing.
“Say, I killed someone!”
“That person killed someone!”
Jo Jung-sik sneered at the people making a fuss.
“What does that mean? Anyway, my life was going to be boring, so I let him go a little early.”
“Then you die too!”
Jo Jung-sik laughed coldly at someone’s criticism.
“Yeah, I’m going to give up someday. Just not now.”
“Murderer!”
“If you have any complaints, come in and see.”
Jo Jung-sik raised a dagger, but no one approached.
“What are you hesitating about? They told you to come in if you’re dissatisfied?”
“He’s crazy. That guy is crazy.”
“If you don’t want to come in, I’ll go.”
Jo Jung-sik jumped into the crowd.
Swish – As he swung the dagger, blood burst out from the two men’s necks.
“Aaaahhh!”
“You crazy bastard!”
“What if I swing at someone!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Jo Jung-sik went on a rampage like a madman, stabbing people at random.
If it were reality, there would have been headlines saying, “Don’t ask questions, stabbings,” but this is none other than another world.
There were no reporters to take pictures or police to save the day.
Especially CCTV that can be used as evidence.
“Die! Die, you bastards! Hahaha!”
Every time Jo Jung-sik swung the dagger, blood spattered.
Players I had never met died on the spot.
“Everyone stop it!”
“Let’s all kill that crazy bastard!”
Players took up arms and tangled together to kill a common enemy called Life is a Documentary.
Even if you are ranked 2nd, if a large number of people attack you, you will be able to quickly overpower them.
But things didn’t go as expected.
“Oh, f*ck, we’re touching the sword! Let’s be careful!”
“What? What the f*ck? Isn’t this young-looking kid careful what he says?”
“Really, how do you know my age? You have the mindset of an old man, damn you.”
“You bastard!”
The players who were supposed to deal with Jo Jung-sik suddenly started fighting with each other.
Then, in the end, I crossed a line that should not have been crossed.
Deep!
“Gagging!”
“Oh, brother! Are you okay? Hey, it’s a dog! What are you stabbing your brother?
With a weapon in hand, a light argument could easily escalate into a stabbing.
“die!”
“Let’s kill all the murderers! Otherwise, we’ll be the ones to suffer!”
“You bastards!”
The debate scene instantly turned into chaos.
The spark that Jo Jung-sik lit spread to unexpected people.
“Ugh!”
“it hurts!”
“Kwaaaaak!”
Cho Joong-sik’s stabbing rampage only stopped when no one was approaching anymore.
“Huh? Why are these guys fighting amongst themselves?”
Jo Jung-sik looked confused and stabbed the person next to him.
“Everyone stop!”
I shouted, but there was no way it would be heard by people who were already excited.
“Stop it! You bastards!”
People who responded by turning their heads to Jo Jung-sik’s shout lowered their weapons one by one.
I realized that I had been caught up in the atmosphere and was overly excited.
“Why are we fighting to the death? Have we become enemies?”
People were embarrassed by that remark and kept their distance from each other.
It wasn’t what Jo Joong-sik, who attacked so recklessly, had to say.
“Don’t kill each other for no reason and reduce the number of achievers. Just vote for me later.”
“Da, who are you to vote for, Maraya?”
“You don’t want to do it? Then just throw it in my hands now.”
When Jo Jung-sik took out the dagger again, the person who spoke was shocked and stepped back.
The blood splattered here and there showed how much of a psycho Jo Joong-sik was.
“I won’t say it again. If you don’t want to be left behind, vote. If you don’t vote for me, I will remember your nickname and face and kill you in the next round. Do you understand?”
“…….”
No one answered, but Cho Joong-sik also noticed.
‘Everyone is scared of me.’
Jo Jung-sik knows the scared face well.
Threatening and scaring others was Jo Jung-sik’s specialty.
‘Everyone will vote for me even if they are afraid of retaliation.’
The result was an overwhelming victory.
There was a high probability that he would be the representative of the Black Scythe and Nabal district.
‘Hehe, after all, a person has to draw a sword to be obeyed.’
From the looks of it, it is a given that he will become the district representative.
‘If you become a district representative, you can wield enormous power called the right to lead, right? Hehe.’
I have already thought about what orders I will give first when I become the representative.
‘Black scythe. ‘I’ll have to kill that unlucky bastard first.’
The first thing I decided to do was order people to kill Black Scythe.
By killing his rival and obstacle, he becomes number one.
That was the ending Jo Jung-sik wanted.
* * *
Suddenly!
Ryumin’s scythe cut the gnoll’s back.
[The gnoll has been defeated!]
[A 3x experience buff is being applied.]
[Experience +3.15%]
[Gold+20]
[Current kill count: 265/100]
[All stats increase by 100% due to the Rune of Massacre effect.]
[Your level has risen!]
The guy died in one hit without even making a single proper attack.
This is thanks to the Reaper’s Rune, which doubles weapon attack power, and the Slaughter Rune, which doubles stats.
‘Plus, there’s no way I can hold out since I’ve been given the seal of death that doubles the damage.’
Hunting was already easy, but it got easier after changing jobs.
‘Of course, the level-up speed has decreased significantly.’
Unlike before, the amount of experience gained has been reduced to less than half.
This is because the required experience increases from level 10, when you can become stronger by changing jobs.
Maybe that’s why I could only raise it to level 6 even though I caught 200 in 2 hours.
‘Even though you are receiving 3x the experience benefit, it only gives you 2-4%, so leveling up is bound to be slow.’
Still, at level 16, you are overwhelmingly faster than other players.
There were a lot of players who didn’t even know the existence of side quests because they hadn’t even reached level 10 yet.
‘Time’s up, shall we take a moment to organize it?’
I put the scythe in my inventory and opened the status window.
Stat points were invested in luck, unlike anything I had taken so far.
‘There’s a random gold bag, so you might as well get lucky.’
Having high luck is good in many ways.
When you catch a monster, you sometimes receive additional gold and the item drop rate also increases.
In addition, the critical rate increases, and the stronger the dealer like the Reaper, the better the synergy.
‘Critical damage is good because it ignores the opponent’s defense. Moreover, the damage is twice that of a normal hit.’
Although the probability of a critical hit increases only by 0.1% per stat, the probability of a critical hit is low.
‘The current luck is 30. The probability is only 3%.’
But what if you build it up gradually and eventually reach around 300?
Each time you attack, there is a 30% chance of a 2x critical hit that ignores defense.
It would really be a huge help.
At that time, a message appeared before Ryumin’s eyes.
It’s time to vote.
[Time remaining until voting: 00:00:00]
[Voting time has arrived.]
[Gather the players in the area to the starting point.]
After a while, the environment changed in the blink of an eye.
I was teleported from the forest to a wide open space.
“Um, what are those people? They suddenly appeared, right?”
“Looking at the convocation, I guess it’s the players who went into the forest?”
The players at the starting point were surprised to see the number of people who had entered the forest.
But this one was also surprised.
“What kind of fuss is this? People are dead, right?”
“What on earth happened here?”
The bloodstains and corpses seen everywhere were enough to panic the players who entered the forest.
I thought they were having a discussion in an empty lot, but it was only natural that it would get to this point.
However, only Ryumin was not embarrassed.
Because it was all as expected.
‘I knew there would be a fight. Because it was like that in the previous episode as well.’
Of course, I also knew the cause of the fight.
Ryumin turned his head to follow the people’s gaze.
There, a man with the nickname “Life is a Documentary” was standing there with his arms crossed.
‘As expected, Cho Joong-sik took hegemony.’
Breakfast and lunch.
As the leader of the Chinese food faction, he is a natural fighter and a talented person who ranked second in his district.
However, because of his temperament, it is risky to take him to the final round.
‘It would be better to quickly eliminate a time bomb that may explode at any moment… … .’
It’s not time yet.
Because you have to make a representative breakfast and lunch meal and eat it during the third round.
Jo Jung-sik must have felt Ryu Min’s gaze at that time and looked this way.
“Hey, Black Scythe.”
The guy approaches with a jolting gait and suddenly smiles.
“Where have you been and where are you now? You’ve been waiting for a long time.”
“What business is it?”
“It’s nothing special, I have something to suggest.”
Jo Jung-sik wiped his nose and exhaled indifferently.
“I’ll tell you bluntly. Come under me.”
