#Max level talent player episode 508
What Kangsom took out was a red liquid in a transparent glass bottle. Hyun Jeong-hwa tilted her head.
‘blood?’
What is that blood?
“It’s the blood of the underground shaman.”
The blood of the subterranean shaman.
I don’t know when I got that again. Hyun Jeong-hwa looked at it carefully. Why did you bring the underground shaman’s blood?
I felt it while playing with the Giant Guild. There was a good reason for all of Kim Hyuk-jin and Kang Som-i’s actions. As always, the essence of Korean style was shown without filtering.
I assumed it would still be the same now. She learned a lot while playing with the Colossus Guild, and she felt like she would continue to learn.
Looking closely, it seemed like Kim Hyuk-jin already knew the reason. However, Hyeon Jeong-hwa did not understand why Kang So-mi took the blood.
‘Can I ask?’
Hyeon Jeong-hwa has one younger brother. She has a younger brother who is much older than her, and she has the explorer class. In fact, Hyeon Jeong-hwa had little ‘talent as an explorer.’ So I couldn’t really help her younger brother.
I decided to ask.
Why did an explorer named Kang Som take that blood? Why did she make that judgment? I wanted to learn about the explorer mindset.
“excuse me… … .”
“yes?”
“Why did you take that blood?”
“It was a little strange.”
“You said it was strange?”
“yes. “The underground shaman shed blood.”
Why is that strange?
“It was difficult for the underground people who appeared during the game to obtain blood.”
Even the bodies of the underground farmers who appeared later had completely disappeared. The other underground people were all overwhelmed by Isabelle’s momentum and ran away.
“But the underground shaman was bleeding profusely.”
“… … .”
Hyun Jeong-hwa did not understand properly. Is it so special that the underground shaman shed a lot of blood and that it was easy to collect that blood?
“And a condition was needed to open the underground door. “You remember Hyeon Jeong-hwa too, right?”
“… … yes.”
[‘Gate to the Underground’ has been created.]
Information has been conveyed about the conditions under which the ‘Gate of the Underground’ can be opened. It was about underground farmers having to sow seeds and soaking up the blood of underground farmers.
“We came through underground to get here. That would have meant that subterranean elements were needed to properly explore this place.”
This means that what happened underground was not just a passing incident. Kangsom shook the potion.
“For [the door] to open, there has to be blood.”
The underground taught me that.
“And the next stage. “When the underground shaman came out, blood was sprayed everywhere.”
“… … “It was like that.”
“So I took blood. I thought I would need blood and seeds in other linked fields. If really other fields are linked. “This is because I decided that the key to opening the gate to that field was blood and seeds.”
Hyun Jeong-hwa, who heard that far, nodded. Once I knew the result, it was an easy story. Although I listened to Kangsom’s opinions and thought process, it felt a little distant. What if I was in that situation? Have you ever thought of getting something like that? Honestly, I wasn’t confident.
Hyeon Jeong-hwa was an excellent archer, but she lacked the qualities of an explorer. He tried to learn for his explorer brother, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
‘To Jeongseok… … ‘I’d like to help you.’
I felt like it was a bad idea to help my younger brother. I looked at Kim Hyuk-jin to see if he could find out.
“Mr. Hyukjin Kim. Mr. Kim Hyuk-jin, did you know everything?”
“I didn’t know everything.”
To be precise, I didn’t know until Kang Som brought out the ‘blood’. She provided a clue that Somi Kang was ‘P’, and from then on, she also guessed Hyukjin Kim. The fact that that ‘blood’ is a clue.
“But I didn’t need a detailed explanation like Hyeon Jeong-hwa did.”
“… … “I guess so.”
Hyun Jeong-hwa accepted Kim Hyuk-jin’s calm gaze and then sighed deeply. She felt like she had been hit by something.
“Is it your intention to let me explain it in such detail now?”
Hyukjin Kim smiled. Hyeon Jeong-hwa was dumbfounded and ended up laughing.
“… … .”
As Hyun Jeong-hwa asks questions like this, Kim Hyuk-jin actually stands out. Play is not between players. There are guardians watching over the players. A good player should always play and direct with the guardian in mind.
This was the basic of the basics. It’s so basic that we sometimes make the mistake of forgetting it.
“The more I do this, the more Kang Somi and Kim Hyuk Jin will stand out, right?”
“I never forced Hyun Jeong-hwa to do that.”
Although he took his time by not using blood right away, he never directly asked Hyeon Jeong-hwa for anything.
Hyeon Jeong-hwa laughed again.
‘The guardians who are disappointed by my immature appearance will focus more on Kim Hyuk-jin and Kang Somi. Because he showed himself to be much more superior than me.’
But it didn’t feel bad. I felt at ease thinking that being treated like this by Kim Hyuk-jin was the price of learning.
At that time, Hyukjin Kim spoke.
“You don’t have to be good at everything.”
“… … yes?”
“Hyeon Jeong-hwa is an excellent archer player. However, he seems to be worse than average when it comes to exploration and mercenary skills.”
“Is this an insult or a compliment?”
“You can’t cater to all tastes. “You just need to focus on what Hyun Jeong-hwa is good at.”
Hyun Jeong-hwa nodded. That’s right. It is nearly impossible to satisfy the tastes of all guardians. All you have to do is target the tastes of guardians who like to play archers. That is the best realistic solution.
“That’s all true.”
I sighed.
“It’s unlucky for Kim Hyuk-jin to say that.”

Isn’t Hyukjin Kim an all-rounder who covers all classes? As the only human being who possesses all tastes spoke like this, he was at a loss.
Hyukjin Kim smiled again.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Hyukjin Kim, can I just shoot one arrow between the eyes? I really wanted to ask.
* * *
Kangsom sprinkled blood on the seeds. The seeds sucked blood like cotton. A seed the size of millet filled with blood and began to grow. It looked like a tick sucking blood.
Hyukjin Kim observed the seeds.
‘Changes are taking place inside the seed.’
Blood and seeds meet and turn into something else.
It was similar to chemical action. It became something of a different nature. The swollen seed exploded! It exploded. It became a small seed and scattered like snow.
Kangsom said.
“It seems to have become the seed of an aquatic predator.”
“Iknow, right.”
It was the same as what I had seen before.
──────────
[Seed of Underwater Predator – LV 20]
──────────
It was exactly the same situation as last time. Then the next thing was decided. Kang Som went through this situation together, but not with her Ban Ki-myeong and Hyeon Jeong-hwa. Hyukjin Kim spoke quickly.
“It will grow into an aquatic predator.”
It was just as Kim Hyuk-jin said.
──────────
[Sprouted Seed of Underwater Predator -LV 25]

[Small sapling of underwater predator -LV 35]
──────────
──────────
[Aquatic Predator Sapling -LV 45]
──────────
──────────
[Small underwater predator -LV 50]
──────────
The seeds quickly became small underwater predators. Wiggle, wiggle. The predators wriggled like earthworms. A notification followed to the members of the Giant Guild.
[In order for the number of predators to grow further, ‘creation of a colony’ is necessary.]
Hyeon Jeong-hwa also heard that notification. I wanted to ask what it was, but I didn’t. From what I could see, it seemed like Kang Somi and Kim Hyuk Jin already knew everything. It was completely their own performance.
In the meantime, the predators grew larger. It grew into a predatory beast that reached almost 10 meters in length.
──────────
[Growing underwater predator -LV 55]
──────────
Kang Somi grinned.
“It’s the same as when it was the underwater monster colony.”
“Do you remember the reward you got for clearing the underwater monster colony?”
“yes.”
That was ‘Shadow of the Water Giant’. Kim Hyuk-jin’s prediction was correct. This is where it continues. The items acquired there shined here.
Hyukjin Kim continued speaking.
“And I got one more item from there. “You know, Kang Somi, right?”
“of course.”
Within the underwater monster colony.
The time when the centipede queen and the fully grown aquatic predator are engaged in battle.
At that time, Da-Rong Kim took out the ‘Celestial Dragon’s Heart Piece’ that was inserted near the center of the Centipede Queen’s body.
“You got a piece of the Heavenly Dragon’s heart.”
“What about the original gate that brought us in here?”
“It was Wukong Cave.”
Centipede (Goku). Predator.
Heavenly dragon.
Earth giant. Water giant.
Related clues continue to follow. Hyukjin Kim continued speaking.
“In order for the predators to grow further in that state, they need the corpses of the Wukongs.”
“yes. that’s right. So I prepared it.”
The very first.
The monster I met in the Wukong Cave was the ‘Gukong Small Man’.
“I thought it was strange even back then.”
The monsters were too weak. I thought it was strange because it was so weak.
There were a lot of Jinju Wukongs tangled together, but it was too easy for the difficulty of entering. So Somi Kang moved separately from her group. Because she wasn’t in any danger.
“That’s why I packed it.”
Kang Som-i took out a bead with a flickering black energy.
“I put all the centipedes here.”
Hyukjin Kim nodded. I don’t envy one well-raised explorer or ten archers. But then. Spray began to rise.
The water in the middle of the snow began to form a single shape. I saw a stream of water shaped like a huge human being.
‘Water giant.’
I was already preparing in my mind. She was expecting a water giant to appear, so she wasn’t too surprised.
A voice was heard.
“You’ve come this far, human.”
“Are you the water giant I met last time?”
A water giant I met in an underwater monster colony.
-Thanks to you, I was able to obtain a valuable sample of predatory water.
-I will spare your life, human.
It was the same as the voice of the water giant who said this.
“To be exact, we met twice.”
“twice?”
“Before your world and mine were connected. “I sent you back.”
It seemed like he was talking about what happened at Gyeonghoeru.
[The ‘sailing sailing ship’ has reached the ‘end of Gyeonghoeru’.]
[‘End of Gyeonghoeru’ no longer allows access.]
Kim Hyuk-jin was able to realize.
“at that time… … What stopped me… … .”
It wasn’t a system.
“You, the water giant?”
“okay.”
“why?”
“At that time, you would have melted away just by encountering the fragments of my existence.”
“… … “Can I face your presence now?”
“Just a fragment of my existence.”
The water giant continued speaking.
“I knew you would bring predators.”
“how?”
“Because you are ——.”
Hyukjin Kim experienced system interference for the first time in a while. The system did not seem to allow any more information to Kim Hyuk-jin himself. Hyukjin Kim suddenly became curious.
“You once said this to me at the underwater monster colony. “They said it would save my life.”
It seems that the water giant had no intention of killing Kim Hyuk-jin himself in the first place.
Because it seemed like he was needed by the water giant. However, he dared to say, ‘I’ll spare your life, human,’ right there.
“That means… … .”
My bones became bitter. It wasn’t that the water giant wouldn’t kill him. It meant saving it from other elements.
“Are you saying you helped me get out of there alive?”
“yes.”
There, I hunted underwater predators and achieved an explosive level up. I thought it was just skill and luck, but I think it was because the water giant had influence.
‘no wonder.’
Even with the help of the dragon’s breath, it was said that it was too easy to survive for 14 days. I finally understand. The water giant helped me back then too.
“I guess they had already cast the [Shadow of the Water Giant] on us back then.”
I thought I knew. Things started to look clear. My mind became clear. Hyukjin Kim continued.
“There must have been a different reason why [Shadow of the Water Giant] was placed on us at that time.”
Kangsom didn’t say anything. Now was not the time for her to interfere. she could tell
‘From now on, the initiative is… … The guild leader will start with it.’
It seemed strange for some reason. It felt like the expressionless Kim Hyuk-jin was smiling.
