In the video, Lee Hyun-seong, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the swordsmanship category, was visible.

He was a competitor who competed with me for the position of sword king in Korea.

Of course I was a bit stronger.

For reference, before returning, I had never given Lee Hyun-seong the first place in the rankings.

From 2nd to 5th place, it changed a lot while tossing and turning, but I was undisputedly in 1st place.

They say that this is overwhelming.

I suddenly miss that time.

‘Ah, this isn’t it.’

I focused on Lee Hyun-sung.

He looked much younger than I remembered.

‘They said he wouldn’t serve as a public servant even if he died?’

Lee Hyun-seong, whom I remember, was a guy with a deep-rooted distrust of the state.

He even asked me without hesitation why he was working as a public servant with such skills.

He was the guy who gave a long speech saying that if you were like me, you would never be a public servant.

I wouldn’t have said that if I had tasted the sweet growth boosted by the national level.

‘By the way, a public service advertisement representative model?’

The past has changed.

I think it’s because of me.

I joined later due to timing, but anyway, that seat was originally mine.

‘by the way… … That’s how it is.’

The fact that the person who would fill my void was Lee Hyeon-seong was a surprise in itself.

But there was one thing even more strange than that.

‘Mother?’

There was one person we called ‘Mother’.

She was also a player just like us, and to put it simply, she was a psychological counselor and our mental support.

We have always been in an extreme environment and carried out numerous missions, and in the meantime, periodic counseling and mental care were essential to maintain a solid mentality.

‘Mother’ played that role.

We know that the mother’s awakening name was ‘Maria’.

I had a strange feeling when I saw Mary’s figure.

‘It’s the same face I remember.’

Right now, Lee Hyun-seong was much younger than I remembered.

But Maria was like my memory.

Like someone who never ages.

‘It doesn’t feel like a person in a strange way.’

I didn’t know then.

But looking at it now, somehow I felt that I didn’t feel like a human being.

It was like a strange sense of heterogeneity felt when facing humans from other servers.

Not everyone could immediately know, and it was a sensation that only those who had experienced a lot of humanity from other servers could feel.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“no. Nothing.”

I decided not to attach too much meaning to it.

Lee Hyeon-seong, who was afraid of being a public servant, but didn’t know why he was a civil servant, applied for the job.

The fact that Maria’s appearance is strangely not like a person from Earth.

‘I don’t want to care.’

But I couldn’t.

First, I called Kim Jung-hyun.

Originally, Kim Jung-hyun was also my colleague, and he applied for that position.

“I heard that Nara is recruiting players, did you hear the news?”

-I heard… … It is.

“how?”

If it was Kim Jung-hyun’s personality, it seemed like he would of course apply.

However, the answer was unexpected.

-I am… … thought… … There is not.

“why?”

He was very slow, as always.

– You will still need money… … It’s like. condition… … I looked… … Not so attractive… … It seems not.

what?

In the past, Kim Jung-hyun said, ‘I’m glad I became a civil servant’.

“I know the salary and conditions are pretty good, right?”

– No matter how… … When working with Jinhyeok… … Can’t rain… … I don’t think there will be.

He suddenly smiled awkwardly and said, “Please take good care of me.”

He’s a kid who takes a long time to talk to, but he wasn’t so polite to me.

If this was a change, it was a change.

“Sleep well. I’m going to clear the hottest place in Korea recently.”

* * *

For efficiency of movement, we rented a small bus.

“Kim Jeong-hyeon, Mok-hyeon Mok-hyeon, the youngsters, Jin-sol Cha, they’re all here. Then let’s go.”

We took the bus to Ilsan.

Read at noblemtl.com

Golden Toad Dungeon is located in the middle of Lake Park in Ilsan.

Along with ‘Bupyeong Station Dungeon’, which is called the worst tutorial dungeon, it was the hottest place recently.

“brother.”

It was Seo Ji-soo.

There are plenty of seats, so I don’t know why they bother to sit next to me.

“Are we really going to the Golden Toad Dungeon?”

“You must have done the briefing?”

“I heard that the first discoverers there are all dead. Do you know?”

“Original first discoverers usually die.”

Not all of them, but about 60% of them die.

“After that, I heard that a lot of kids went in to clear and then ran away and came out?”

“It means there is an exit.”

If so, it is a dungeon that belongs to a very kind axis.

“Ah, that’s right. It can be interpreted that way.”

Everyone seemed to agree with my logical explanation.

Jisoo Seo spoke a little faster.

“But the kids who escaped there are said to have picked up the gold. A lot of that too. It must have been as little as several million won or as many as tens of millions of won.”

The Golden Toad Dungeon is such a place.

It’s not known right now, but it’s such a fraudulent place that even the number of clears is fixed.

‘Has it been about 100 times?’

A dungeon that disappears on its own when that much is cleared.

And that’s where the ‘anti-monopoly settings’ hang.

I can’t remember the exact number, but I think one team said they couldn’t clear it more than 10 times.

‘It doesn’t matter. If I do 10, I’ll have enough money to retire.’

But then, the driver shouted.

“This Mr. X!!!”

A dump truck was running this way, violating the traffic light.

Cha Jin-sol looked out the window and said kyaaagh! he screamed.

If this is the case, they will surely collide.

A big accident will happen.

I reacted immediately without even thinking.

[Use the skill ‘Time Magnification Shooting’.]

[Magnification: x0.8]

The subject is a dump truck.

Time magnification shooting is applied to all subjects below level 50.

Like dump trucks, ‘products of science’ are mostly set to level 1.

And I used the skill once again on the side of the driver.

[Use the skill ‘Time Magnification Shooting’.]

[Magnification: x1.2]

I used it twice in a row and didn’t feel like my mind was shaken.

The driver, who became the subject of the time-scaling shot, turned the steering wheel even faster.

The dump truck slowed down, and this bus sped up.

As soon as I bought a moment of time, I threw myself.

Clink!

The window broke and he ran outside.

My body reacted on its own.

‘Relay barrier.’

No matter how much you use relay barriers, if you hit a dump truck straight ahead, you will die.

Is it because of the time scale shooting?

I could feel the dump truck slowly approaching.

This phenomenon makes the enemy’s attack appear slower.

This mysterious phenomenon is said to have entered the ‘realm of swords’.

I can’t even guess with my current skills, but it seems that a similar effect has been achieved thanks to ‘time magnification shooting’.

My heart pounded.

‘The body remembers everything.’

Memories before the return.

And the experiences I had while dealing with the Golden Golem’s Rocket Fist guided my body.

His body movements were more natural than during the Golden Golem.

that made me happy

A dump truck approached.

‘I… … !’

I had to hit it.

Change the track of the dump truck.

My chest was itching.

I unknowingly vomited something.

“I grew up!!!”

bang!

hit the dump truck

The same way you hit a rocket fist.

When you succeed again without forgetting what you learned once.

When you succeed more naturally and more effectively.

This sense of achievement cannot be expressed in words.

‘But my shoulder looks like it’s been smashed.’

Still, I felt good.

Shoulders need to be treated.

It was obviously a situation similar to when I received the rocket fist, but if my skills had deteriorated, it would have hurt more than a broken shoulder.

‘Mmm.’

But things were strange.

‘There is no driver.’

There was no driver in the dump truck.

As if someone set a trap.

A black van passed behind the dump truck.

I reflexively saw the person in the passenger seat.

‘Mother?’

He is the person I shared a lot of time with before returning.

It only passed by briefly, but it was definitely Maria.

This was probably not a coincidence.

I didn’t miss the time and used the relayer’s gaze.

‘It’s tingling.’

My eyes hurt.

My eyes were bloodshot and blood was seeping out.

If it hadn’t been for ‘The King’s Strike’, he might not have been able to overcome the anti-elastic force and his eyeballs would have exploded.

It was a pain that belonged to the real pain axis, but fortunately.

[LV:?/Maria/?/?]

For reference, Lilia’s level was 97.

I was able to read up to level 97, but I couldn’t read Maria’s level.

Even the eyesight of a relayer compatible with the King’s Gye was useless.

‘Maria in my memory was a human on Earth.’

I was convinced that there was something hidden in this player development policy at the national level.

‘This is a bit difficult.’

I don’t know why this happened.

But I have little desire to be involved with the series of events.

It is impossible to fight with Maria, who is presumed to have caused the accident, right now.

The result of that fight would be dog death.

It’s true that I enjoy fighting strong guys, but I don’t run into guys I can’t even fight.

It’s not because I’m afraid.

I have a goal to defeat later, but it is unfair to die now.

At any rate, I have come up with a reasonable deduction of my own.

‘Am I aiming for Kim Jung-hyun?’

Kim Jung-hyun said he refused to become a player belonging to the country.

When I heard the story, Nam Mok-hyeon and the youngsters also refused.

Everyone’s name is on the ranking board, so it’s easy to figure out what’s new or something.

‘No, how do you figure out who your name is on the ranking board? How did you contact me?’

The ranking board contains the ‘Awakening Name’, not the actual name.

Right now, even for Mok Hyun, ‘Chinta’ is the awakening name.

But how could he contact Mokmuk-hyeon as ‘Chinta’?

‘SSP is not activated.’

Later, the SSP site will also be activated.

It is true that you can check player registration information and verify your identity.

But it hasn’t been activated yet.

‘This is embarrassing.’

Perhaps there is some grand conspiracy I don’t know about.

The problem was that right now I didn’t have much means against the conspiracy.

Jinsol Cha came running in a hurry.

“brother! It’s fine?”

Tears welled up in his eyes.

he’s wrong again

A few bones were smashed, but he wasn’t seriously injured.

“Why would you do that dangerously? I really, I really, do you know how scared I was?”

He’s making weird noises again.

If I hadn’t done this, the side of the bus and the dump truck would have collided.

“What if I don’t do this?”

“yes?”

“You die.”

you are weak

Apart from Mok Hyun Mok and Jung Hyun Kim, the youngsters and Jin Sol Cha would have been seriously injured or killed.

I was just telling the facts.

I didn’t mean to hurt my pride, but if it were me, I would have hurt my pride, but strangely, he seemed moved.

“I hope my brother doesn’t get sick.”

“… … .”

He courageously wiped away the flowing tears and continued to treat her.

Oh, my heart almost got crushed for no reason.

“Now, everyone is not hurt, right?”

Fortunately, no one was injured.

I also recovered quickly.

It was also a minor injury.

“This is a bit difficult.”

“Why? what? where does it still hurt? Where are you sick?”

“I announced that the broadcast would be on at 10.”

“You burn! Does that matter now?”

It is important.

Mina Kang said that the life of a streamer is a promise of time.

If you want to finish well and retire quickly, you must protect the small things.

‘uh?’

I had a good idea.

“First of all, everyone will be surprised, so let’s take a break.”

A little time passed and it was 10 o’clock, the scheduled broadcast time.

As soon as the broadcast was turned on, Choi Gap-soo entered the room as if he had been waiting.

[‘Money Lightning’ has entered.]

I turned off all the notifications about who entered, but it seemed that the notifications popped up for people who accessed through invitations.

In the upper right corner, the ‘invitation list’ was openly located.

It was like displaying a name.

──────────

[VIP Invite List]

1. A flash of money.

──────────

I think I can see the happy face of old man Choi Kap-soo.

I know that heart very well.

The thrill of seeing my name stamped on the ranking board and ranking is still vivid.

[Invitation privileges apply.]

[You can send a 1-minute message on that channel.]

Choi Gap-soo immediately sent a chat message.

He must have wanted to show off that only he could send a chat.

[Money thunder: Is it finally the beginning!]

“I was trying to clear the hottest dungeon in Korea right now.”

I looked very embarrassed.

“There seems to be some force deliberately interfering with play. As you can see, it was a big accident, and the injuries and aftereffects are pretty serious. I’m really sorry, but today’s broadcast will be difficult. I just need to inform you of the situation and turn it off right away.”

[Money Thunder: Such a shame! wait for a sec!]

“I’m really sorry. It is an unavoidable situation.”

Choi Gap-soo was very angry, and I ended the broadcast.
