Memorize Chapter 88

00088 Ruins Laboratory ———————————————– ————————–=

After all that fighting, I decided to take a break. It may have been a little early, but the kids’ stamina had been completely depleted after this one battle. Yujeong was pleased with my decision and immediately lowered her buttocks, but then stood up screaming.

“Ugh… “It’s terrible.”

Currently, the area around us was littered with corpses of the dead. I was fine, but Yujeong and Sol, who were still weak, wanted to quickly move to another location. Living up to their expectations, I walked towards the room where the dead came from. This place may be a little uncomfortable because it is a place full of them, but it is better than a place full of corpses.

I expected something similar to a laboratory, but the interior of the room exceeded my expectations. The interior space was smaller than expected. It made me wonder how so many dead people came out of such a small space.

You can see old, broken beds and bookshelves. Not a single detail could be missed. While the group rested, I looked around the room to find some information.

The kids sat quietly and I was the only one looking around. Jeong Ha-yeon sighed quietly and joined in my actions. As I watched Shin Sang-yong get up, I could see the kids also struggling to get up. However, by then, most of the exploration with the third eye had already been completed.

“leader. “Did you get anything?”

Shin Sang-yong asked me with sparkling eyes. Certainly, when something interesting came up, the stuttering went away. I shook my head.

“no. “I looked all over, but there wasn’t anything worth seeing.”

After speaking, I showed him about 30 gold coins and a record book written in ancient script.

“to… Only 30 gold? “It’s too much.”

Ahn Hyeon’s dissatisfied voice was heard. I felt like I was comparing it to the time I had finished a difficult battle just now, and when I earned a good profit from a battle with goblins in an open space. Yujeong and Sol were also showing disappointed expressions. But Shin Sang-yong was different.

“Good. Explore one room and get 30 gold. ha ha ha. ah. Could you show me the record for a moment? “I have the ability to decipher ancient languages.”

“of course.”

As expected, it’s useful. When I obediently turned over the record book, he pushed up his dusty glasses and decoded the record book. His ancient language decoding ability rank was D-, but even that was a pretty good rank (even by the standards of general users).

Has enough time passed to have a cup of tea? As I munched on the beef jerky with a blank look on my face, he handed me back the record, as if he had finished deciphering it. I swallowed the beef jerky I was chewing and opened my mouth.

“Have you found out anything? “Something like important information.”

“Uhm. no. There was no such content. The decoded record is in diary format. It seems that the room we are in now was used by one resident at the time. There was no special content. but… Strangely, there was a lot of information about windows. I couldn’t practice the spear today, I dealt with my failures with the spear, etc. However, it is difficult to find a connection with the Dotong Research Institute.”

“A window?”

It’s a failure. When An Hyeon raised his spear and asked a question, Shin Sang-yong nodded his head. And after hearing his answer, a thought came to my mind and my eyes widened. It may just be about a spear, but I thought it might be a clue related to a Qigong spearman. Of course, nothing is certain yet. However, even if it was only a possibility, it wasn’t a bad idea to thoroughly explore the dungeon we entered.

Starting with reading the records, Shin Sang-yong and I talked about the research institute. The group rested and listened, but Jeong Ha-yeon was just listening to Shin Sang-yong. Although his combat ability was superior, Shin Sang-yong seemed to be better at dungeon exploration.

“That’s what I think. Looking at the exterior of the building, the lab will have at least three floors. And you may not be able to guess how big the first floor is, but if we assume that the hall just before was the center, there is a high possibility that there will be roads in four directions: north, south, east, west, and west. “Except for the direction we came in from, there must be a staircase leading up to the second floor somewhere in the other direction.”

“yes. hmm. I guess… Rather than quickly going upstairs, it would be better to completely clear the first floor and aim for the second floor.”

Because I don’t know where the Qigong lancer is sleeping. However, Shin Sang-yong, who did not know what I was thinking, nodded his head sharply at my words that he would go safely for now.

“You made the right choice. Even if you can’t conquer the first floor, it will take a day. It’s bigger than you think. And there may be worse people on the second floor than on the first floor. “It would be better to assume the worst case scenario and secure a minimum safe zone before moving up.”

Shin Sang-yong often used the word minimum when speaking. People who use such words a lot unconsciously always assume the worst when making plans. In their own way, they assume the worst situation and make preparations accordingly. They may seem a little frustrating to others, but they are definitely habits that are helpful for survival.

The kids cried when they heard that it was difficult to clear the lab in one day. In particular, Ansol’s body was shaking, as if she had thought that she might fall asleep here. Shin Sang-yong, who noticed her expression, opened her mouth in a cautious tone.

“Or you can clear the first floor first and return to the city. The safest way is to attack the second floor again after maintenance. Of course, it will take some time.”

At his words, I firmly shook my head. If it’s just me and Vivian, I guarantee it’ll be half a day. No, I was confident that I could occupy this place in less than 6 hours. Going back is absurd. Shin Sang-yong didn’t look particularly dissatisfied, as if he still thought it was worth it.

Completely clear each floor and go up to the next floor. And even if you stay for a few days, you have to conquer it all in one go and then return to the city. While the companions listened in silence, no one directly expressed opposition. So, I received a bottle of water handed to me by Ha-yeon Jeong and concluded my initial goal of exploring the lab.

Normally, breaks are limited to 5 to 10 minutes, but this was a big break. The initial battle was so intense that I planned to go exploring again after fully recovering. While everyone was eating supplies in silence. Jeong Ha-yeon, who had quietly closed her eyes, was seen opening them little by little. Her eyes were on me. I also stared at her and exchanged glances with her and hers.

While looking into her deep eyes, Jeong Ha-yeon’s lips opened slightly.

“Suhyeon.”

“yes.”

“I have a question.”

“yes.”

“Is Soohyun really a user with 0 years of experience?”

“yes.”

My simple answers sent small ripples across Jeong Ha-yeon’s calm face. However, she soon came to her senses and slightly glanced at the corners of her pretty eyes. Normally, I get a little annoyed when other people make that kind of expression, but when Jeong Ha-yeon did it, I felt that it was a noble action that somehow gave off a sense of dignity.

“sorry. But I want to say something. I don’t know what you think of these words, but… I can’t believe it when I see it. “To be honest, the monsters just now were not at a level that a 0-year user could cover on their own.”

Her tone was more one of surprise than suspicion. But anyway, it seemed like he was keeping in mind the fact that I had single-handedly defended the dead on the front lines. However, this time, I wasn’t as excited as before or thought about how to fake it. Her skills were going to be revealed gradually anyway, and if she stuttered for no reason, there was a high chance that she would arouse more suspicion.

“is that so? “There weren’t any difficulties.”

“How on earth did you fight?”

“It’s simple. The only advantage they had over me was numerical superiority. The way to take advantage of that advantage is through well-coordinated joint formations or wheeled combat. But they just kept pushing in. In that case, try to repel their attacks, let them go, and use them. In other words, you just have to fight in a way that focuses on defense.”

“… Is it as easy as it sounds? I’m not sure. Have you ever learned how to use a sword in modern times?”

I nodded obediently to her question.

“I learned something, but I don’t think it has much to do with it. Just understand the situation in front of you and think of the optimal answer in your head. All you have to do is put it into action.”

“Soohyun, you were a genius.”

“well. I never thought of myself as a genius. “I just tried.”

“Hehe. Lee, it is true that the leader is great. And Hayeon, please stop. There is nothing wrong with having a strong leader. And you can find out who is a 0-year user right away by looking into the User Academy, and above all, there are people by your side, right?”

Due to Shin Sang-yong’s intervention, Jeong Ha-yeon made a hot face and immediately lowered her head.

“sorry. As I continued speaking, it became a form of arguing. I hope you don’t feel too offended. “Soohyun’s ability was so surprising.”

“I was a little upset when I was told I was a genius. I’ll skip it for now. But from next time. “Please do not judge the results of my efforts based on personal standards.”

At my words, Jeong Ha-yeon lowered her head with an embarrassed expression. I understood that her words were aimed at her as much as she had her bones in them.

“Hmm.”

As expected, there was no way the kids could understand this in-depth conversation. You never know. If Kim Han-byeol had been there, he would have heard and probably shot them in pairs. However, when they heard my praise, I saw Yujeong and other kids’ necks stiffen and their backs straightened. no. I’m the one getting the praise, so why are they flattered?

Ignoring my thoughts, Yujeong puffed out her chest and opened her mouth. Shin Sang-yong turned his head with an embarrassed face as his bulging chest was clearly exposed through that action. From the way he cleared his throat every now and then, it was clear that he was a virgin.

“Ho Ho. sister. How amazing is my brother? I know that? “You also went to the user academy, right?”

“then. of course.”

“My brother is the number one jockey. 1st place overall. Do you know how hard the instructors in the clan tried to recruit you? Later, the instructor in charge of your brother’s dormitory was changed to a female user? “How funny she thought it was to see her flirting with her brother.”

“oh. so? Did you do that much?”

As Yu-jeong boasted in an excited tone, Jeong Ha-yeon opened her eyes round. Certainly, the title that won first place in the User Academy was a worthy title in its own right. Ansol, who was listening next to her, also listened to Yujeong.

“yes. that’s right. The famous Golden Lion Clan also made offers to my brother twice. Hmm.”

“Woah, golden lion? Whoa. “Under no circumstances will there be offers for new users.”

“lol. “My brother is the best.”

stop. It’s embarrassing.

“Then why did you reject the Golden Lion Clan? ah. That’s because I’m really curious. “There is no other meaning.”

Before Shin Sang-yong could finish his exclamation, Jeong Ha-yeon asked a question. She also nodded her head as if she understood what she said, that she was from the Golden Lion Clan, but she asked again in a tone that she did not understand. But this time, it was Ahn Hyeon who answered, not me. no. Please give me a chance to speak.

“It’s because of us. My brother and I have been acting together since our rite of passage. We didn’t get an offer to join that clan, and only my brother got one. “In a way, I always feel sorry because we were the ones holding him back.”

“no. You don’t have to be sorry. “Good job.”

“?”

Everyone’s attention was focused on Jeong Ha-yeon’s face, who suddenly said something incoherent. She looked a little embarrassed as if she answered almost reflexively. Anhyeon tilted her head for a moment and continued speaking.

“Anyway, I guess you were reluctant to leave us alone and go alone. As Sol said, he rejected the offer from the Golden Lion Clan that came back on the day of his graduation right in front of us.”

“I almost cried at that time. “When I think about it, I think something has been different about my brother since the rite of passage.”

“yes. If it weren’t for Soohyun, I might have been able to get through that time. Phew.”

Only then did Jeong Ha-yeon look back at me with new eyes. Ahn Hyeon and Yoo Jeong painted my face with gold, but they also said nice things to me once or twice. With no end in sight, a feeling of embarrassment gradually overtook my whole body.

I cleared my throat for a moment and announced the end of my break. After getting enough rest and feeling relaxed, it was time to go exploring again. As it is a research institute of a certain size, it was necessary to be busy.

After leaving the room, the group became quiet again. We entered a little further inside, stepping over the piles of disheveled dead.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

hello. This is Ro Yujin.

Today is also a year old. ah. Somehow, I feel like Yeoncham has become a daily routine. All of this is thanks to the driving force you all gave me. ha ha ha. There was a foreshadowing about Jeong Ha-yeon today. If there is a reader who has found it, he or she must have eagle eyes. 🙂

『Reripple』

1. Human life: E. Reading what you wrote made me want to watch The Walking Dead. I don’t really know why though. Anyway, congratulations on first place. 🙂

2. This or that kind of troublemaker: Hehehehehehehehe. I was hurt. It’s okay to get hurt. Ugh.

3. Kriasen: Bingo. There’s a lot I took from there. Of course, there are also things you make yourself.

4. Moonlight Dew: Haha, I’m sick of Jeonggong. Haha, actually, I’m secretly looking forward to who will take first place these days.

5. Hwieul: Yes. You can summon all 66 legions. You can summon only the ruler of the corps, or you can summon the entire trait corps. If only you could do it with your own magic power. And if a spirit summoner has made a contract with Ignis, it is impossible for anyone else to make a contract with Ignis. He wouldn’t even respond to the summons in the first place. ha ha ha.

6. Pacasari: Yum.

7. GradeRown: Actually… After finishing the ruined laboratory, I am planning a scene where Sol-i has fun. Please wait a little longer. Hehehe. ( –)

8. hohokoya1: Thank you for the coupon. ha ha ha. When choosing a clan name, think about the clan’s personality and you will get the correct answer. haha.

9. A mournful soul: Ah. While talking about what a plant is, you were referring to a growth item. I was also surprised when I reached level 12. It seems like it’s fun to watch that guy these days. 🙂

10. Qhthal: Last time, there was a large-scale contest for clan names. At that time, he recommended many good clan names. I also tried to name it, but all I could think of was something like Heaven and Earth Clan. Crumbling… . ㅜ.ㅠ
