'There's something left to do before that.'
Trinsik is ready to leave at any time, but there is still work to be done.
It was the sale of the secret dungeon.
I didn't know that I would be leaving Kton this soon, but fortunately, I had set the deadline for the auction to one day. If it wasn't for that, after going to Trinsic, he would have gone through the trouble of returning to Cthon to sell the dungeon.
'I'm sure it won't matter if I get the rune book.'
If you buy a rune book that allows you to save a location and teleport to the saved location, the space limitation will disappear, but unfortunately, the rune book was sold only in the second city, that is, a Trinsic class city. Even if you go to Trinsic and buy the rune book, it means that you have to come back because the location of Cthon is not saved.
The cost of purchasing and using the rune book was also formidable, but more than anything else, time was wasted. Will there ever be a chance to return to Cton once I left?
'At that time, the teleport between towns will be updated.'
In fact, it was only necessary to tell them how to enter the secret dungeon, but it was a common transaction method to show them. He would also be like that. Who would put an advance on information that was not certain?
'The contract will be updated soon, so let's bear with it this time.'
Sooner or later, contract items will be updated and transactions with various conditions will be activated, but direct transactions were still the most certain.
'Because the connection time is over anyway... … .'
Just in time, the access limit was almost over, so I had to go out for at least 5 hours before I could access the game again.
Locan always filled up this connection time, so the accumulated fatigue was quite high, but I thought I should take a break and go shopping.
'Let's go out for now.'
I parked my character on one side of the city and logged out.
* * *
Ugh!
The capsule trembled and Youngmin's eyes flashed open.
The inside of the capsule was still full of a special solution, but when I found a button and pressed it, the water level went down quickly.
Then the solution disappeared and a warm wind came out, quickly cleaning the wet clothes. It was in the state of underwear wind in the first place, so there was not much to dry.
"The capsule suit should come out soon."
For that reason, a special suit worn when entering the capsule will be released soon, but not yet.
Youngmin quickly picked up his clothes and turned on the computer with his toe. To see the reaction to my post.
It was possible to check it from within The Road, but it was a waste of time for Youngmin to spend access to such things.
Soon after, The Road's homepage opened, and Youngmin went straight to the trading board.
"uh "
Youngmin, who opened the bulletin board, made a somewhat surprised expression. His post was posted on the bulletin board 'Writings of the topic'.
I thought it was strange because there were a lot of comments criticizing that it was Jujak, but the title of another article immediately below caught my eye.
[Find a secret dungeon! In addition to the public dungeons, there are hidden dungeons. Honorary reporter 'Kang''s secret dungeon conqueror's story]
'Is this already out?'
An honorary reporter for a famous game webzine and a 'fun game' user, Kwang. He revealed information about the secret dungeon in the form of a travelogue.
Of course, it was a different starting area from Cton, where the local people, or Lokhan, were located.
Thanks to this, Youngmin's writing, which was almost dismissed as abusive writing, flared up. Because the upload time was faster than that of Kwang's travelogue, the perception that it was an aggro or a fraud has been lifted.
- Knock Knock: This wasn't all real public dungeons
-Bangtae Warrior: Is it true? Look at this scam one day to day
-Attacker: It is true that there is a secret dungeon that I do not know about. But I don't know if this is real either.
- Duttered: This article was posted earlier than Kwang, but perhaps Kwang didn't secretly dug up his ID and posted it.
-Miseul Cha: The upper one Nn. The secret dungeon found by Khang is different from the monsters that appear.
-Shamshar: If it's real, it's honey. But if you have something like this, why does it turn around?
-Kang: Hello. It's Kwang! According to my experience, this article looks very credible. It's difficult to buy, but if you can cover the companion, please contact me!
-Ramses: I sent you a note.
-Heladin: Please check the note
-Best price purchase: I sent you a note. We give you 5% more than everyone else.
Some were envious, some were coveted, and some were jealous. There were quite a few people who expressed their intention to purchase. Of course, more than half of it was a joke or a scam, but the note box was so full that I had to turn the page.
In a situation where it is difficult to identify a person with just a bulletin board ID, it would not normally be difficult to select a buyer, but Young-min did not feel burdened at all. There were several IDs that were already familiar to the eye.
"These guys won't cheat."
First of all, those who were to be deduced were those who claimed to be a 'guild'. As soon as the guild system is updated, those who will immediately create and act in the guild.
He knew the names of some of them in a previous life, so he wanted to sell them to one of them.
Of course, this would have happened after the access restriction was lifted, but first, Youngmin deleted all but a few notes. And conditions were compared.
"For now, except for the foolish ones."
Most were offering game money or cash, but some were offering additional conditions that didn't work. It means that they will pay the same value in kind to see if they are short of money, or they will give them a ride on the bus so that they can grow quickly.
All of them were already active in the second city, so it could be said, but who dared to rob someone's village of Savage, they had barely reached level 35, but they were confident that if they used Berserk, they wouldn't lose below level 100.
Because of that, only two places remained after excluding those who made unsuitable conditions and those from different regions.
"Then let's go here"
In the end, it was the MP Guild that Youngmin chose. Guild is an abbreviation for Manner Play, not Mana Point, which is commonly used in RPGs.
Like their name, they help beginners and catch PK. Even if the strength of the guild is not very strong, they have been known for their good image for quite some time.
Thanks to that, I had never really run into Rokan in my previous life.
"It fits so tightly that it's scary."
Rokan, who delivered the transaction method and the location to meet through the transaction confirmation note, shuddered lightly at the situation where they matched so well after returning.
Could things be this good?
It was to the point of anxiety, but I decided not to worry too much. Because the worst has already happened. The important thing was whether you had the strength to break through even in the worst situation.
What if Rokhan had overwhelming power at that time?
If he was stronger than the king of the world and had enough power to trample even guilds attacking in droves,
Youngmin's eyes brightened.
"I guess I'll have to go shopping first."
I'm not a gourmet anyway, so I just wanted food that would fill up the taste and nutrition in moderation. Normally, I would buy in bulk online, but since it was such a long time ago, I wanted to get some fresh air.
* * *
As I put on my clothes and went outside, the slightly chilly evening breeze brushed my cheeks.
About 10 minutes walk to SSM.
Although he moved his body every time the access time was limited, he lost a lot of muscle compared to the beginning. Youngmin thought that even if he couldn't exercise properly, he had to give it to him out of conscience.
But now it is the end of September. Now that school has just started, it's normal for the school he lives in to be crowded, but surprisingly, the street was quite quiet.
'It must be in the middle of the semester... … Ah, it might be because of The Load.'
Just as the streets become quiet after work hours when a national drama comes out, it was like seeing the news that small business owners were crying because people's outside activities and consumption activities decreased along with the popularity of The Road.
"How many reps did you raise yesterday?"
"I'm level 2!"
"It's good, even if I said die, I barely went up 1 level. Is it because of the level difference?"
"Your control must be bad, keke."
Even the people on the streets are talking about The Road. It may be more sensitive to games because it is a college town, but I could feel its popularity.
As I was walking for a while, I saw a familiar face on the other side.
'Who was it'
With her long, wavy hair that is loose, she has a slightly sexy face that men like. Among the two people who seemed to be lovers, the one who looked familiar was the woman.
weird. I don't think there are many women I know.
As I slowed down and looked at her, the woman turned her head as if she felt her gaze. And her face hardened.
'ah… … .'
I remembered. Lim Soo-hee, an ex-girlfriend who cheated on her secretly and dumped herself.
Since returning, I had never seen or contacted him, so I finally remembered the face I had completely forgotten.
For her, it would be a reunion for the first time in four months, but from Young-min's point of view, it was just a past that he forgot everything a few years ago, including his previous life.
'What is it?'
Because of that, I didn't have any thoughts or feelings, but it was ambiguous to judge. Anyway, we broke up badly.
Come to think of it, I also vaguely remembered the face of the man next to me. He was the cheating partner, the current boyfriend.
'Did you say you're doing some more loading'
As I thought about it, I remembered one by one. I think I heard that friend also loads more. He must be at the level of a master in the neighborhood, but Im Su-hee, my ex-girlfriend, also likes games, so one of the criteria for an ideal type was 'a man who is better at games than himself', so he should be able to do that.
If it was The Road, it would be good for the two of them to hang out together, and it would be a pretty good date course.
'Okay, this direction... … .'
Unfortunately, the direction they are coming from is not to the capsule room, but to the motel he and Lim Soo-hee used to go to when they were lovers.
"hi "
Even so, I didn't think anything of it, let alone get angry, so I was just going to ignore it and pass by, but the woman started talking to me first. It seems that he misunderstood Youngmin's expressionless appearance.
"Oh, how are you?"
"huh. I heard you. yet… … It's a bit difficult."
Youngmin's expression slightly distorted at that tone, which was neither concerned nor sympathetic. Who else is this rumor... … .
'I can't help it.'
It was a CC that he was particularly nervous about, and in the eyes of others, since Young-min almost gave up his school life, there was a chance that such rumors would spread.
It was funny and annoying, but Youngmin didn't even want to admit the rumor.
"There seems to be a misunderstanding, but the reason I took a leave of absence wasn't because of you, it was because of The Road."
"Yeah, if that's the case, I'm glad."
However, Lim Soo-hee looked at him again with the same expression as if he thought that was an excuse.
'Ah, I made a mistake.'
Young-min belatedly realized his mistake, but the water has already been spilled. In fact, what he prepared was three months before the release, but to others, The Road was just a game that appeared about a month ago as if it were falling from the sky.
But he didn't speak out loud. It seemed like the more I had to talk about it, the worse it would get. He was also someone who didn't care anymore anyway.
"Then work hard. Oh, tell me if you're having a hard time. My boyfriend is pretty good at The Road. I will ask you to help me at least once."
It was not even a funny provocation. The boyfriend was looking down at him with an expression of superiority or something, and Young-min laughed inwardly at his disrespectful attitude.
"Okay, what's your ID?"
"It's Pyria."
Did Young-min's question be viewed as servile? A sneer crept across Lim Soo-hee's lips.
'Firia. It's a girly ID.'
Judging from the fact that it's a name I don't remember from my previous life, it seems that he's a terrible guy. Remembering the ID, Youngmin nodded and said goodbye.
"Oh yeah. I remembered. Okay, next time we meet, I'll save you one more time."
"What am I… … ."
"Kwon Youngmin, what are you... … ."
Young-min lightly passed Lim Soo-hee and her boyfriend, who were stunned.
She would have known. It wasn't only in The Road that he used the ID Lokhan.
If you look at it now, you will only receive annoying checks, so you won't run amok with the desire for honor, but one day they will know. Who Young-min himself is, and who they will be close to.
I don't know if I'll regret it then, but I'll know how ridiculous my words and actions were now.
'While I'm not seeing you, this is enough.'
Youngmin brushed off his old relationship and went on his way. He bought a lot of food and snacks and had them delivered, and when he returned home, there was an answer note from the MP Guild.
The deal was done.
