Episode 34
One day, Jinho hyung and I had a conversation like that while watching TV.
‘Is that him? Seongjin Han.’
‘Does your brother know Han Seong-jin?’
‘Isn’t it strange that you don’t know?
It’s the face that comes out when you turn on the TV. I see them so many times that they are like a family now.’
‘Be careful with your words. That’s defamation. ,’pup.’
On the screen, a handsome man with an elongated body was smiling brightly. Dozens of cameras and huge crowds reacted to his every move. Flashes and screams erupt incessantly.
‘He has it all. If you’re an A-class hunter, aren’t you a walking small business? It’s against the rules to have a model proportion and a celebrity face. How old were you?’
‘She must be the same age as me.’
‘… … cheer up.’
No matter what job you do, there are people who make good money and people who don’t. And there is no job with a wider gap than Hunter.
‘It’s okay, ma’am. If you wait a bit, there will be a day when the sun will rise.’
‘How long do I have to wait?’
“Just wait another 100 years. It will be possible in the next life.”
At that time, I want to show my current self to Jinho hyung, who was laughing and teasing me.
‘What kind of expression will I make when I see this scene.’
Dozens of people rumble with each step you take. The NPCs of Jinga in Taewon, of all ages and genders, were looking at me with sparkling eyes.
‘Do celebrities always feel like this?’
The eyes looking up to people’s attention are burdensome but slightly enjoyable.
It was a moment when I could understand the common game promotional comment, ‘Waiting for a new hero!’.
‘okay. It’s about to be the last one, so I should enjoy it.’
As we wave our hands with laughter, cheers erupt. The place where they arrived with the ever-increasing number of people was Daejeon, which was used as a conference room.
“He is waiting for you.”
Musa’s face is familiar. It was the samurai who looked at me with contempt the last time Iso-kun came to visit me.
‘About half a week has passed.’
Just as I was different then and now, so was Musa. The warrior who took the gun in an extremely polite manner opened the door.
Daejeon was exactly as I remembered it. With a large table in the center, scattered chairs on either side signaled that the meeting had just ended.
“Are you here?”
Qin Wei-qing, who was sitting in the seat of honor, smiled tiredly. He was the only one in the vast war.
“What about Hupin?”
“I’ll be back in a little while.”
As soon as we sat down, Qin Yuqing got to the point.
“I got a call from Haomen. They say they are gathering troops at the Hengsan Checkpoint.”
It looks like there’s a shitline on the other side too.
I don’t know war, but I know battle. And war is made by gathering battles. Enemies who have already lost many warriors and morale in one major defeat will focus their efforts on the next battle.
“It will be a tough fight.”
“Because I poured all my money into it. If even the reinforcements join the main force led by the Bloody Sword, they will count a thousand.”
“being a few days old… … It’s an infinite number. I have never experienced such a large-scale battle, and I do not want to experience it.
Qin Wei-gyeong continued with a hard face.
“Leading all troops to the north. We plan to hit the enemy’s main body before joining the reinforcements.”
“When is that?”
two days later.”
pestilence. it’s damn fast The fight against time was not only taking place between Taewon Jinga and Hangsan Checkpoint. It was like that for me too.
‘Can I log out by then?’
If you become first-class in two days, you can log out. But what if not? We have to fight hard once again.
‘If that happens, I’ll go out completely.’
Then Qin Weiqing said.
“I’d like you to take the rearguard.”
can not. I will not. I just swallowed the words that were about to come out reflexively.
It was because Qin Yuqing’s face was more serious than ever.
“It is a fight with everything in the family. Morale will rise significantly just by your presence.”
It was at that time when I was thinking about whether I should accept this.
“Fortunately, the Five Gates of Shanxi decided to help us. Move with some of them in the rearguard.”
“What about Shanseo Wumen?”
“It is the federation of the five small and medium schools.
I always had a good relationship with my family.”
“… … okay.”
“Then would you like to take over the rearguard?”
belt?
[In the rearguard room, Qin Weiqing offered you to serve as the rearguard.
If you accept this mission, the warriors will praise your determination and bravery.
Type: Short Quest Rating: Second Class Restrictions: Jin Tae-kyung Mission: Accept offer (incomplete) Reward: Reputation 10 Rise Failure: Reputation 10 Decrease I answered without thinking.
“I’ll do it.”
A message popped up saying that his reputation had risen with the success of the quest.
A decline in reputation upon refusal. The quest window with an offer he couldn’t refuse was dumbfounded, but on the other hand, a strange sense of relief spread.
‘It’s a relief. Is it really crazy?’
Jin Wi-kyung smiled broadly at me as I blamed myself for being addicted to games.
“I’m glad you are here.”
It was a smiling face, but there was an invisible shadow over it.
Living under piles of paperwork all day was not enough, and now there was even a war. It must be a heavy burden for him to lead the huge family of Taewon and Jinga.
They said two days later.’
It is a one-on-one clash between two powers that divide a province into two halves. Taewon Jinga, who lacks the number of samurai, is a fight that is inferior even if he does his best.
Can I win?’
I tried to shake off the thoughts that came to me. Do you know if you live or die? The departure is two days later, and it takes another few days for the battle to take place. No matter who wins, I won’t be here when the winner is decided.
Now it was my turn to hear what I needed.
“I have a question.”
“Tell me.”
“I’m still on the second-class level… but Jin Wei-qing tilted his head after hearing all of my stories.
“Are you second-rate?”
It was a tone I couldn’t understand at all. I was the one who literally smeared Lee So-kun and even defeated Jo-pil. Jin Wi-gyeong thought of me as first-class from the beginning, and so did Jo-pil.
“yes. I haven’t reached the level at all, so I’m looking for some advice.”
“Advice… … After thinking for a moment, Lord Qinyu opened her mouth.
“You are already first class.”
“I’m second-class.”
“Because it’s first-class. He is also a first-class soldier who has faced the wall of the climax.”
“no. That’s second class… …
“Who said that?”
oh, that’s crazy In my mind, I want to show the system window.
It’s written that it’s second rate, but I’m dying of frustration because only I know.
I answered with a sigh.
“It’s not like anyone called me second-rate.”
“then?”
“It’s just that I’m second-rate, so it’s hard to explain.”
“Do you believe yourself second-rate?”
“Then it’s simple.”
“What, what is it?”
Is there a secret to raising the level at last?
I looked at Qin Wei-gyeong with eyes full of anticipation, but his mouth did not open. Instead, he dipped his fingers in the cooled tea and brought it to the table.
Sseuseuk.
And one letter revealed.
Faith.
‘A trustworthy trust?’
Jin Wi-gyeong, who checked my face, smiled.
“You look like you got slapped on the cheek.”
“… … You misunderstood.”
It must have looked like he wanted a slap on the cheek.
“What is this?”
“Literally. It means believe in yourself.”
“What does this have to do with rising?”
“Because martial arts starts with believing.”
To say that it starts with believing is a buzzword. But from the moment she heard those words, her heart was beating.
‘It starts with believing… …
Strangely, that one word lingers in my mind. She was constantly spinning around and making me dizzy.
‘What have I been believing all this time?’
The first and only word that came to mind is:
system. The one that helped me the most in this game and always told me the absolute truth.
I thought of myself as second-rate because the system told me I was second-rate.
‘Because I trusted the system.’
Early on, he overpowered Lee So-kun, a first-class master. He single-handedly defeated over 20 ronin and even defeated Jo-pil, the peak master.
People all praised me as a first-class gossip and a hero, but I was still second-rate. Because they trusted the system more than themselves. But now I get it.
‘I’m already first-class.’
already. Maybe it’s been like that for a long time.
I was first class
“You look like you got slapped on the cheek.”
This time, Qin Yuqing was right.
Do I always sit on the back of a chair with a bewildered face? gone
‘Such an idiot.’
I don’t even believe in myself, I’m second-rate.
no, it was
belt ring.
–
[First-class] has reached the peak!
– All martial arts levels rise by one level!
– Musculoskeletal and muscle veins are greatly improved!
– The size of Danjeon is expanded!
– Level up!
– Level up!
Third class to second class. Again second class to first class.
I felt the power radiating from the depths of my body, and Qin Weiqing laughed out loud.
“What happened?”
Wipin, who appeared later, asked with a puzzled face.
It seems that the nostrils that were blocked have been opened. As the level rose to first-class, there was a rapid rise. Sense and martial, in every way.
I left Daejeon and started walking. The wind is cool.
“It’s Sam Gongja.”
“Are you all well?”
Sure enough, people’s eyes gather. I turned to a place with more people.
‘If anyone sees it, it’s definitely a seed of interest.’
But everything happens for a reason.
belt ring.
– Someone looks at you in awe.
–
Reputation rises by 1.
–
Someone hears your gossip and admires it.
–
Reputation rises by 1.
As I walked like that, the crowds gathered like clouds. Among them, there were a lot of N叩C’s in different colors that I had never seen before.
New?’
I met eyes with one of them.
The young man, who looked a little over 20 years old, was startled and then approached and took a fist.
“Mr. Kwak of the Three Doommen greets you.”
“Ah, yes.”
Now, the reflective fist that pops out is quite plausible. By the way, where is the Samdomun Gate?
Oh, maybe?
“Are you from Shanseo Wumen?”
Kwak Meosigi nodded enthusiastically.
“you’re right. Our Samdomun decided to add strength to Taewonjinga. Mr. Kwak, I am very happy to be able to help even if it is a small effort.”
In the current situation, it is a support group like heavenly gold. I grabbed his hand, hoping that this Kwok-Musi would fight hard to my share.
“Thank you for coming.”
“It was nothing. It is just an honor to be able to join the saga of Confucius.”
– Someone hears your gossip and admires it.
– Fame increases by 1.
Even though he is a stranger, he comes all the way here and fights, and his reputation goes up.
I expressed my warm thanks to Kwak Meosigi for giving generously.
“God bless you.”
“yes?”
“It means that I hope that the protection of the Jade Emperor will be with you.”
“iced coffee. thank you Gabburae Suyu.”
“ah. yes.”
I walked away with a fake smile. Now, as everyone in the know knows, the people of Taewon and Jinga did not rise in reputation.
‘Still, they gathered quite a bit.’
When I opened the status window, it was about 50 less than the target number. I wonder if it will be possible to log out if I run hard for the next two days.
“Jerky short story.”
When I turned my head, it was that friend of Samdomun. Perhaps he intended to follow to the ends of the earth.
“If you’re not busy, let’s have a car together… …
“sorry. I have something to do.”
It’s a lie, but it’s true. The destination was set from the beginning.
I pointed at the building to him, disappointed. The smell of decoction wafted from the place where the faded sign board hung.
Medicine King Hall.
And a small wooden plank hanging under it.
Staff only.
People around me let out a sad sigh.
