There were quite a few players in the Hongik University dungeon.

‘It’s lively.’

Everyone was diligently hunting the ‘napbrush’ in their own way.

The blade brush was a level 30 monster, and it was in the shape of a brush about 50 cm in size.

Maybe it’s because it’s a ‘flying brush’.

It’s a flying monster, and its movement speed is fast, so there was a corner where it was difficult to deal with.

‘I gave you a lot of diamonds when I hunted him, right?’

Among the level 30 monsters, I know that they drop the most diamonds.

That’s why it was a popular monster.

In other words, the Hongik University dungeon was a popular hunting ground.

Han Se-rin said.

“This is a dungeon tightly held by the Hongdae Union, which is led by Hongik University students.”

“yes?”

It was something I didn’t remember.

It was natural.

In the world to come, school ties/regions/blood ties are useless.

If you bind players under the specific condition of ‘Hongik University’ like that, great players cannot gather.

If you see something I don’t know, I’ll be weeded out soon.

“So I can play only with the permission of the Hongdae Union.”

“What if I don’t ask for permission?”

I tilted my head.

“Are you going to kill me?”

“Well, it doesn’t seem like that.”

It was kind of funny to see him flustered.

‘It’s too common for an alliance that monopolizes play in a dungeon to kill intruders. It’s because Han Se-rin was the first person to tell me that it’s the most efficient way, so everyone does it.

“Perhaps he’s cleverly harassing you by stealing the last hit and robbing the dropped diamonds.”

It seemed that the kids who were hunting now belonged to the Hongdae Union, or those who were given permission by the Hongdae Union.

I said.

“I’ll have to talk to the captain over there to make things a little easier.”

“I know who I am.”

Han Se-rin looked around and found a woman fighting with a brush in a far corner.

“That person. Awakening name Anellan. It seems that the union members follow him well because he has the skills and the pulpit.”

“Okay.”

Annelan, long time no see.

It was one of our team’s cooperative associations.

It wasn’t the top ranker, but I have good memories of it.

I remember that he was trusted by allied members and had sufficient qualities as a leader.

It seems that the beginning was the union hall of the Hongdae Union.

I approached Annelan first.

‘The level is 48.’

Although she could not be considered a top ranker, she was a woman with a relatively high level.

Age is early 20’s.

The impression was sharper than what I remember.

“Is that Annelan?”

“Go over there to buy a license to play.”

Annelan didn’t seem to pay much attention to me.

He pointed away with his chin.

There was a fairly long line over there.

“I didn’t come to buy it, I just wanted to make a good suggestion.”

“… … half words?”

From before the return until now, this situation is very familiar.

They always talk casually and feel awkward when I speak casually.

I still don’t understand.

“I want you to do it first.”

“Yeah, it doesn’t matter. What a good suggestion?”

And all of a sudden you get the weight.

“My time is precious.”

My time is precious too.

He’s feeling a little bit heroic.

No, it’s closer to the middle 2nd bottle.

“I know that if it’s a crap offer, I won’t be able to pass it on easily.”

It’s a bit different from the personality I used to know.

I didn’t know what to do if I couldn’t get over it easily, but I didn’t want to argue.

Because it’s more important to open the hidden stage here quickly than doing this here.

“There are items that are dropped by the blade brush. Sky paint, earth canvas, wind brush. I want to buy them in bulk.”

The Hongdae Union kids said they were holding onto this place.

They’ll probably keep most of what the blade drops.

“You want to buy it?”

Annelan tilted her head.

I tried not to use the relayer’s field of view if I was serious, but now I think I have to.

[…] … # Why buy this crap? #Is it useful?]

“Ah, don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to buy it just because it’s nice.”

“Then why?”

“I’m just doing it for my quest. did you say Time is precious. Me too. It’s not very important, but I’m trying to buy time with money. It will take me a long time to save you.”

“… … .”

“I’ll pay a generous price, since I have a lot of money.”

“Wait for a moment.”

Annelan calls another player.

A boy wearing glasses seemed to have a pretty good hierarchy.

‘A level 40 demagogue?’

The name of awakening was Gumil Bokgeom.

* * *

In his senior year at Hongik University, Ja-Yeol Koo awakened as a ‘provocateur’.

Through splendid rhetoric and narration, the Hongdae Union was successfully established, and Annelan, a charismatic junior, was put forward as the Hongdae Union Head.

In fact, the head of the Hongdae Union was Koo Ja-yeol, not Anellan.

Awakening name is Gumil Bokgeom.

‘A lot of money?’

First of all, I decided to figure out the identity of the guy.

As a demagogue, he was a class that manipulated and moved others, and possessed an excellent skill for understanding others, the ‘demagogue’s eye’.

[Used the skill, ‘Eye of the Instigator’.]

Unfortunately, ‘The Demagogue’s Eye’ was rated much lower than Cha Jin-hyeok’s ‘Reporter’s Sight’.

So it was clear how the skill worked.

It was similar to when I read the angel girl’s skill in the past.

I could feel several strands of solid green lines scanning Cha Jin-hyeok’s body.

[The relayer’s field of view may block the ‘eye of the demagogue’.]

didn’t block

In conjunction with the ability of ‘multiple lives’, he showed a fabricated identity.

Goo Mi-bok-gum (Koo Ja-yeol) smiled.

‘Level 31? Is your occupation a swordsman?’

He wasn’t a very great guy.

The woman next to him seemed to be a guide, but it was difficult to read the information.

It seemed that he was using a skill or item that blocked information.

‘Looking at him walking around with a level 31 swordsman, he wouldn’t be such a great guide.’

Level 31 could not be regarded as a very low level, but there were over 10 people around level 30 in the Hongdae Union.

Gumi Bok-Geom said cautiously.

“I don’t think it’s bad to listen to it if the conditions are good, Commander.”

“Let us talk.”

“All right.”

Cha Jin-hyeok smiled while watching this.

‘How are you?’

It was a very common occurrence, but it was a bit funny when you know all the facts.

‘I’m sure Anellan isn’t the type to put forward the president of the pants association?’

But I wasn’t too curious.

After all, everyone has their own circumstances.

Cha Jin-hyeok asked.

“How much have you collected so far?”

“130 sky paints, 181 ground canvases, and 111 wind brushes. What do you think of the price?”

“How about 10 times the store price?”

“Hmm.”

[…] … # Is it a good condition? #But isn’t there something hidden? #Aren’t you selling it for nothing?]

It’s frustrating to see something like that.

We just need to make a cool transaction that is win-win for each other, but we are using our brains over trivial things.

I don’t even know how to use it anyway.

“Think carefully. To collect all of those items, how long will it take if you mobilize all the members of the Hongdae Union?”

“Probably in a week or so.”

“It’s not that valuable. As I said before, I offered you a deal to buy time, I don’t have any other ulterior motives.”

[…] … #That’s right #How much would you sell this for?]

Five times the shopping mall.

Each one was about 800 diamonds, so the store selling price was about 330,000 diamonds.

‘Then 3.3 million diamonds?’

[…] … #You really buy this? #Japtem? #aka golden spoon?]

He buys what he can get in a week for a whopping 3.3 million diana.

Gumi Bok Gum said.

“Allied leader. I think it will benefit us as well.”

He was talking with his back respectfully bowed, but his eyes were not on the head of the association, but on Cha Jin-hyeok.

[…] … #I’m sure he’s got a gold spoon #I can get the ransom #A bastard like a bastard #You should have hidden yourself.]

Cha Jin-hyeok didn’t pay much attention.

* * *

The transaction with the Hongdae Union has ended successfully.

Gumil Bok-gum’s gaze was unusual, but Cha Jin-hyeok thought so.

Jinhyeok Cha said.

“I heard there are NPCs in this dungeon?”

“right. There is an NPC that buys sky paint, earth canvas, and wind brush. It’s probably going to come out if you go straight through that road. What? Why do you look like that?”

“No, like a vending machine.”

“what?”

“When you press a question, the answer comes out quickly.”

“… … All guides know this much.”

“Isn’t that true?”

Cha Jin-hyeok was a little happy recently.

As I met friends with similar standards to myself, I kept feeling a sense of kinship.

Even if I lowered my standards, I couldn’t adapt to this world at all, but after meeting people like Song Ha-young and Han Se-rin, I felt like I knew it.

‘My standards weren’t just wrong.’

“Does everyone know about this?”

“of course.”

Following Han Se-rin’s guidance, we entered a room.

In the corner of the room was a female NPC wearing a painter’s hat.

It was an AI just like the angel I saw in the Awakening Room.

According to the setting, the name was ‘Unknown Painter’.

Like an AI, it spit out a set line.

“Nobody can go to heaven. There must be an angel’s invitation. Adventurer, have you been invited by an angel?”

A selection window popped up.

[Yes, I was invited.]

[No, I was not invited.]

Han Se-rin said.

“There are a lot of players who chose YES and got treated badly. If you tell them you’ve been invited, they’ll ask you to show proof.”

However, if you do not have evidence, the ‘unknown painter’ said that he brutally assaulted players with the brush he was holding in his hand.

The door is firmly locked until the assault is over.

So most of the players didn’t even come here.

clap.

The door is locked.

The unknown painter asked again.

“Nobody can go to heaven. There must be an angel’s invitation. Adventurer, have you been invited by an angel?”

Han Se-rin said.

“For now, choose NO. I don’t even know what an angel’s invitation is. You can get it by exploring this dungeon… … .”

“I was invited.”

“Hey!”

Han Se-rin frowned.

“What are you doing… … yes?”

An unknown painter received something from Cha Jin-hyeok.

“Five! It’s been a while since I met a qualified adventurer.”

It was ‘Luruca’s Feather’ that Cha Jin-hyeok had acquired in the Seoul Station dungeon.

The feather that helped create propensity oil and defeat demons.

A bookshelf on one side of the wall slowly began to rotate.

Beyond the bookshelf, I could see the stairs.

“Go. Troublesome Luruka is waiting for an adventurer.”

Cha Jin-hyeok stopped trying to lead the way and glanced behind him.

“what are you doing? Aren’t you leading?”

“Ah, ah, uh. yes. let’s go.”

Han Se-rin was dumbfounded.

She didn’t even understand how Cha Jin-hyeok met the condition of ‘angel’s invitation’.

But that was the part I didn’t need to understand.

‘He did it, but I couldn’t?’

It made a big scratch on Han Se-rin’s pride.

‘He solved the condition, but I didn’t know?’

Recently, she rose to the top of the rankings again.

Although it was very slight, my mind was relaxed, but I ate my heart again.

[Move to Hidden Stage, Cloud Garden.]

After climbing a few steps, the field changed.

Han Se-rin looked around.

‘Is this place above the sky?’

Perhaps it was a space set above the sky.

The floor was made of clouds and was very soft.

kong! kong! kong!

A dog barking was heard.

For a moment, Han Se-rin was very nervous and looked around once again.

“Hey. Be careful.”

She realized just by the sound.

That the sound you’re hearing right now isn’t unusual.

It is an object that can never be fought.

“It must be an object that cannot be matched. We have to find a place to hide and hide.”

I had to buy time.

This wasn’t a field made for fighting.

If you fight, you will surely die.

Then, from now on, it is the realm of the guide.

A guide must pave the way.

kong! kong!

The dog barking gradually approached.

It was obviously a vast, open space, but the location could not be identified.

It seemed that he was running from somewhere under these clouds.

Her heart pounded.

‘I have to find a way.’

Moment,

Something in the shape of a bulldog bounced through the clouds.

I felt it the moment I saw it.

The two of them were monsters of a level that could never be matched.

‘We are dead.’

In the end, she couldn’t find her way.

‘It’s a disqualification as a guide.’

It was to the point where I felt sorry for Cha Jin-hyeok.

He left a will for Cha Jin-hyeok.

“Yeah, but it was fun. And you are really handsome.”

Because it’s the last anyway

I just decided to do whatever I wanted to say.

“I almost fell in love at first sight. If I ever meet you alive, then I will confess.”
