Chapter 83 Incheon, Macye, Black Market-4
A super hero, today, people who are called by titles like that are boring.
That is the word for top "ranker" with exceptional skills among the players.
Like heroes in myths and legends, they do extraordinary things only with blood and guts.
But for that category, Ko Jun-cheol is not exaggerating.
'They cannot lead the world order even though they can prevent a regional crisis. '
For example Woo Sung-moon in Korea, Gordon Price in the United States, Akii Aishima in Japan, etc.
Although outwardly they do not play an active role, there are several who play a role in a country.
And they are "big people " who form the main core of this world.
They, the big players, put down the board, make rules, and open the game.
A hero is just ... ... Besides that, he only plays an active role not just as a 'word '.
'By the way, this person ... ... '
Go Jun-cheol looked at Lee Hyun-wook.
Player with "control type " class F known as Seoul savior,
He certainly carved out an achievement worthy of the title "hero".
That is why Go Jun-cheol thinks Woo Sung-moon is his new "horse ".
However, after speaking a few words with him, the perception became very different.
Government secret agent, Hugin operators, Laputa managers, and even S class players ...
That's because those extraordinary names appear one after another.
'Yes, they will grant him a sizeable position in the Korean government. '
Ko Jun-cheol can feel that this young man is becoming "boss".
'Maybe it's the core axis of this country, which connects Woo Sung-Moon.'
It's no exaggeration to think so. Woo Sung-moon cannot forever be the main axis of government. Therefore, the Korean player community is very concerned about who will be his successor.
But just in time, a talent like that appeared.
When the thought got there, Go Jun-cheol's instincts shouted.
'For the future of our village, we must not miss this man. '
Go Jun-cheol raised his head and looked into Lee Hyun-wook's eyes.
"Lee Hyun-wook, in many of your nicknames, Red Hall Savior- Can you add that? "
Go Jun-cheol said so and reached out to him.
"Yes, of course."
Lee Hyun-wook held his hand.
He hid his expression, but he feel pleasured inside.
'Yes, done. It was also a successful conversation. '
This man, Go Jun-cheol, is the one who built an extraordinary position in the underworld.
'Although he knows his level, he is also a coordinator of the underworld. '
In other words, an alliance is created that will bring huge profits in many ways.
'And there will be an opportunity to monopolize the Adamant mine in 〈Hidden Stage〉 in this dungeon.'
"Adamant", one of the legendary metals, is very valuable.
Even if you catch dozens of elite monsters, at least one or two have fallen of them.
That's why they asked for 130-1.5 million won per 10g.
However, if it is my "talent" who is asleep, it is difficult to estimate how much it is worth.
'If that happens, Adamant's rain will be able to fall ... ... '
Although with the same weight, the strength of the 'ratio of steel ' varies depending on its properties.
However, that is a problem to worry about after taking care of this.
"But... I need something. Can you help me? "
"Yes, there is nothing difficult to come here to tell you anything! "
Go Jun-cheol, he was able to save almost everything because he was a boss of the Incheon black market.
"Oh, but before that, I needed one person. "
And Lee Hyun-wook thinks that he will naturally achieve his first goal.
'Okay, the profits are flowing profusely. '
***
Redhall Village, which has an exact population of 1,345 inhabitants.
And all are forced to leave the real world for various reasons.
It was a new home given to those who were forced out of the Korean state, such as oppression of magicians, unfair accusations, and being chased by assassin players commanded by giant guilds.
Therefore, the news of outsiders coming here inevitably becomes a very sensitive issue for them, and the atmosphere in the village feels gripping and witnessing the existence of strangers.
In particular, young men gathered in the corner of the town square as if preparing to fight.
"Damn, that bastard! I don't know what you are talking about, but you will go somewhere! "
Among them, there are some who are obsessed with Lee Hyun-wook.
Their necks are red, perhaps because of the metal restraints filled by Lee Hyun-wook.
"No, you don't know how to get rid of black vines, does that make sense? "
They remember what the stranger said when he met the Ko Jin-hwa cavalry.
"How does he know that ... so how is this possible? "
"I don't know that, I think I'm talking about that with the village head now ...."
They have been fighting against black vines for the past eight months, but nothing has happened.
But a man came and said he would solve the problem, so this is amazing ... ...
However, when the stranger's identity was known, everyone was surprised.
"What? That person ... Lee Hyun-wook, savior of Seoul—! Is that real? "
"Huh- uh- for real! I just went to the village head's house and saw it! I believe! "
"Wow, crazy ...."
They can occasionally access news from outside because occasionally they go out the gate and enter the black market. Among them, the biggest news recently was '4th wave '.
In other words, I don't know the name Lee Hyun-wook.
"Wow ...."
And unwittingly, when they hear the heroic story, their hearts come hot.
The performance of the Underdog hero who prevents bad things from happening in the earthly world ... ...
Because, the cold atmosphere began to disappear in an instant.
"Ah! Hey! Come to think of it, isn't that the ability he uses for us, the ability to manipulate metal? "
"Oh, right! Turns out it's his ability? "
Even those who were beaten by Lee Hyun-wook applauded in admiration.
"Oh, I should have seen the nine pistols in an instant when dismantled and assembled! "
"Wow ... Come to think of it again, Wow, that's a great scene, right? "
Like this, I forget the pain in my neck that turns dark red and makes awe,
The image of 'Seoul savior ' spread throughout the world is very strong.
Their minds began to be on Lee Hyun-wook and that the man could do something.
At that moment, two young men standing in the corner snorted together.
"Ha, damn it ... what a hero, a person who will be a con artist. "
"Yes, Hogu was the one who lured him? "
Strangely, those who exchange bad comments like that look the same.
Nor are they twins, they look exactly the same from head to toe.
" ... ... Hey, Sangmin Yeo, why are you suddenly excited? "
Yeo Sang-min, a 21-year-old man who was called so, snorted.
"Hey, I know that better than you. I'm class F."
"Yes, friends, do you know more about F-Class than I do? "
As emphasized by the two Yeo Sang-min one after another, the expressions of the people around them hardened.
"Puppies, and start filling ... only class F comes who will talk with their eyes upside down ... how about."
"Tsutsuk, that's also a disease, man! What are you going to do with this clenched and unclean object? "
From their reaction, I saw that Sangmin Yeo's attitude was not the first time.
Every time he hears the news about class F hero Lee Hyun-wook, he reacts like that.
"Look at that, Lee Hyun-wook or whatever, you will soon find out that the child is Gura! "
Overview of "deul" Yeo Sang-min turned around.
"The foal, however, is the head of a good person, then emotional ...."
"How sad would you be if you became class F? "
***
Yeo Sang-min has non-growth characteristics ... ... That is a class F player.
All he can do is make 'Alternative '.
And what can be done with such strange abilities ... ...
'There's nothing but what you can do twice as good as shoveling while farming, a pair of ... ... '
But one day, the story of a class F hero fills the whole world.
Lee Hyun-wook, the hero who saved Seoul in the 4th wave ...
Yeo Sang-min is not very happy with stories done by class F like himself.
What should be said, when a friend who thinks he is in the same situation suddenly goes fine,
Should I say that the facts are more like I want to deny than I am happy ... ...
'What? Class F saved Seoul, and now, wow, they say they will save us too ... ... ... '
When he got home suddenly, his 14-year-old brother jumped out of bed.
"Hyung! Did you hear that? Identity of men visiting the village today —"
"-Know!"
"Uh, what, why are you so upset? "
Hear the sharp answer of Yeo Sang-min, his younger brother, Yeo Sang-jun, put on an embarrassing expression.
"Hey! Don't be fooled by bullshit! How did you get class F to save Seoul? "
"No, that, are you saying you have achieved an achievement —"
"— How much did you stop this wave? I say that's all, fraud in this country, me! "
Even if he is truly a huge success, it will be an S value, not an F value. It was the king's job to hide the existence of class S by a country or guild for a while, so it was a spectacular debut ceremony.
He believes so.
"No, brother! Dad did that, the chances are the players are unlimited ... Among my father's friends, he was a blacksmith, and there was someone who killed the Orcs with a big sword, so maybe there was something else? "
Yeo Sang-min's words are even more disliked.
'Father says such nonsense as his mouth habits. '
His father was driven out of the earth and entered a place like this, but he was not hopeless,
Always praise the power of players and raise them as heroes.
The reason is when my father was on the field, he had a true hero, an S class player.
'Geez, come to think of it now, that's a kind of fanaticism!'
When I was little, I grew up listening to the story of 'hero' from a father like that,
Sangmin Yeo also vaguely considers those who are players, like cool heroes.
And when Yeo Sang-min woke up as a player, his father was very happy.
By the way, when he first managed to hunt,
But when you don't get "experience " ...
'At that time, father's hard expression ... '
He could not forget the incident at that time.
My father did not reveal it, but he would hate the fact that his son was a class F.
"Hey, Sang-jun Yeo, you know? Dad hasn't talked about it since it was revealed that I was class F? "
" ..."
"And my father can't come back because I doesn't have zero potential? "
"No, brother! No matter how annoying you are, you don't say it —!"
... ... the legend of the player, whom I often heard when I was a child, is all wrong.
That possibility is,
After realizing that it doesn't always exist for everyone,
He had no choice but to look at the world in all directions.
Tuk—Tuk—
Then, a knock sounded.
"Hey! Sangmin Yeo! Are you home? "
Oh Dal-Sung, one of the village administrators, who visited him, a close friend of the village head.
"Yeo Sang-min, the village head is looking for you now. "
" ... Yes? Why? I do not do anything? "
There was no one other than the village head, Ko Jun-cheol, who immediately rebuked him.
"No, customers are looking for it. "
"Yes? If you are a guest ...."
"Have you heard the news? Lee Hyun-wook, Seoul savior, that person is in our village. "
" ..."
"But, well, I don't know why such a great person needs you. "
***
Blah blah—
A black squirm slowly approaches from afar with a strange sound.
The vines explore the ground and stretch, sucking up all the moisture from the ground.
And he rises to the ground and slumps on it, destroying everything that grows on it.
So, one day it will cover the entire land.
" ...Damn, they eat western forests in just a week. "
Go Jinhwa pointed somewhere.
However ... ... There was nothing there.
It's just that the sand dust caused by Swallow is trapped inside it.
" ... It is a fairly large forest. "
According to his words, it was a fertile area a week ago.
"And now ... he came here to the central reservoir."
The central reservoir, this huge puddle of water, is the last remaining water source in Redhall Village.
"Huh... Even if it's drinks here, we really have to leave this land. Water can be bought and drinked from outside, but the land will die completely, so that it will eventually become uninhabitable land. "
Extreme changes in the ecosystem ... ... That is not a problem that can be solved with money.
"Don't worry, this last reservoir will be fine, and the land will recover soon. "
" ... Yes, I'm hoping that."
"By the way, did the item I asked for come? "
"Well... Oh! It just came there. "
I saw five carts approaching here along the highway.
"By the way, what do you use for 'red moonlight medicine ingredients '?"
The red moonlight concoction requested by Lee Hyun-wook, it is a common, perhaps useless, herb that blooms in basements in pasture areas. For medicinal plants, there is no physical recovery effect, only the inherent geothermal effect.
But no one knows that it will be the key to preventing catastrophe "Swallow".
"You can think of this as a type of herbicide that will fight these things. "
"Herbicide? Is it true? Is this ordinary grass enough? "
When he took a handful of red moonlight concoctions, Jin-Hwa Ko looked amazing.
"No matter how strong the fire is, sinking water is common, and there must be a match. "
Usually there is something called 'property ' in all creatures in nature.
So, there are things that are in harmony with each other, while others are bad.
And such laws also apply to other world ecosystems.
'The secret hemostatic effect of the red moonlight herb is to limit the flow of water. '
And it turns out that the swallow that absorbs the herb dies in minutes.
Based on this information, we began to develop "herbicides " to eliminate the swallow that covered the Amazon.
So, Lee Hyun-wook watched him end the Swallow crisis in just three months.
'Of course, at this time you cannot create objects that emit such results. '
But if I use temporary measures, I can eradicate them.
At that moment, a familiar face fell from one car.
'And Sangmin Yeo, I finally found him. '
He is a major crew member of the enormous Gate Sentinel "Gate and first-class sailors.
'He then created dozens of alter egos. And all the alter egos have the same feeling. '
In other words, just securing a crew named Yeo Sang-min and training it well is the same as getting dozens of crew members, and being able to understand and respond to all the phenomena that are on board at once.
'The efficiency he showed in his heyday was like a supercomputer.'
The problems that occurred on the large ship were immediately resolved, without complicated communication.
But now, he looks rather fat.
'As far as I know, he is a pretty smart person ... Well, this time it will be different from before ... ... .'
He glanced at Lee Hyun-wook and approached Jin-hwa Ko.
" ... ... Brother, I heard you asked for me. "
"Uh, you are here? This one is looking for me, not me. "
Lee Hyun-wook contacted Yeo Sang-jin.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Lee Hyun-wook."
However, Yeo Sang-min did not look Lee Hyun-wook.
"...I am Sangmin Yeo. But there is one thing I want to ask. You, class F, right? "
That is an endless question, somehow, those are quite aggressive words and actions.
"Hey! Son, what are you doing? "
" ... Oh, it's OK."
Lee Hyun-wook smiled at Yeo Sang-min.
"Yeo Sang-min, I'm calling you because I have something to ask for. "
"Yes? No, how do you know me? "
Lee Hyun-wook shrugged instead of answering.
"What...and what can I do with this ...."
"Well, I might not be able to do it, but I bought your chances up high and canceled them. "
No, chances are ... ... Yeo Sang-min frowned at the time.
By the way, the most disliked words are spoken by sandy people.
"Looking at his expression, what is the likelihood of getting an F, do you think so? "
" ..."
I was stunned how do I know it. Yeo Sang-min did not answer.
"Understand, I've been thinking like that for a long time, longer than you. "
" ... But after all, if you ask to walk there, I can't leave. "
He stated so, looking at the waves of black vines that stretched in the distance.
I know very well what will happen if I am close to them.
It was a stupid suicide.
At that moment, Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.
"No, don't worry. I will not walk. "
"Then, what, are you going to fly? "
"Yes, I've checked it. "
" ... Yes? "
Yeo Sang-min looked at his face because he wanted what he was talking about.
' ... ... Now, do you make jokes with serious faces? '
But then, black smoke began to come out of Lee Hyun-wook's right hand.
Shiiii——
Then, he held the white shield in his hand.
" ... shield? "
However, Lee Hyun-wook threw his shield away.
"Yeo Sang-min...I do the same thing, but you only judge from what you see and hear in front of you? "
"....Yes? What do you mean? "
"That's why I'm stuck in a rule that other people decide at will, called class F.
The moment when I wondered what this advice was like ...
Ooh ooh ooh!
The little white shield turned into a large chunk of white metal — Fredwen.
Lee Hyun-wook grabbed the shoulder of Yeo Sang-min who was staring at the scene.
"If you come with me, you can tell me what your potentials are. "
