Weapon of the Peak (7)
At first, people in our country were not interested in the brutal labyrinth time attack dungeons.
Korea has always ranked outside the top 13 and naturally fell out of the spotlight.
But this time it was different.
-Crazy, our country is in 9th place?
-Really?
-How did you do it?
-You recruited a new party member with the highest grade orichalcum. Did you do a good job recruiting him?
They were amazed by the unexpected name.
-Blacksmith Hyun?
-No, just because you brought in one blacksmith, the rankings are like this?
That day.
They recruited a new party and quickly rose to 6th place, and in the evening, American user Will provoked Korea.
This provocation actually attracted more users to the community.
Naver real-time search keyword rankings.
[19th place. Will Interview.]
Ztubers and individual broadcasters who need stimulating content are starting to move.
The encyclopedia of everything with 2 million subscribers criticized Will.
“Ah, guys, this is really not right. How can a user representing the US say something like that at an official event? Let’s make the Korean team win first place this time and make their noses flat.”
[Current viewers: 298,414.]
The live broadcast of the Dictionary of Everything attracted many viewers.
-Seriously, you crossed the line.
-Hanul, Hyeji, Taehoon, Hyeon. Please show me!!!
Some said that America’s reaction was natural.
-Honestly, our country is no match for the United States… … .
-How do you get past 11 minutes and 11 seconds… …Let’s look at it without the nationalism… … .
The hottest expert channel in Ares. It is run by the so-called expert team.
This expert channel also has 1.5 million subscribers.
The most famous expert among them went live.
“It’s unfortunate, but it seems like it’ll be hard to win first place. It’s hard to close a gap of 5 minutes. Think back to the long-distance running you did during the physical fitness test. The difference between the level is a few seconds or even tens of seconds. It’s that hard to close a gap of 5 minutes in a time attack dungeon. I just hope that our team can overcome the wall of 5th place.”
[Current viewers: 270,031.]
-But this is true… … .
-King Chiman… …We believe in miracles!
-Oi oi!
Credibility leans towards the expert team.
Even the top rankers in our country gave their support to the expert team.
however…….
[Rankings are updated.]
[1st place: South Korea, 8 minutes.]
-?
-??
-?????
A tremendous change has occurred.
This number, which was just text, turned the situation around in an instant.
The encyclopedia of everything shouted excitedly.
“Brothers! Our country did it, I said I could do it!? 8 minutes is a revolutionary number!”
[Current viewers: 370,313.]
-Wow… Is this possible?
-How on earth is this possible?
-This is a miracle… … .
The expert channel also moved immediately.
“I apologize for my careless remarks. I hope many viewers will tell me how this record was possible.”
[Current viewers: 431,741.]
“After synthesizing the opinions of our expert team, we believe that Blacksmith Hyun has created some kind of wondrous artifact, just like when he created the legend above the legend. The reason why the world message did not ring is probably because of the restriction that it does not ring when creating an artifact that has already reached the goal. And our expert team is very happy.”
-Why are you guys happy?
-Let me tell you what makes you happy.
“The blacksmith Hyun is a citizen of our country, and… … .”
-Hey, don’t blush… … .
-Why is he embarrassed? Lol
-The redness is real lol
“I also subscribed to Hyun’s Blacksmith Shop.”
The viewers realized.
That this was not the time for them to be doing this.
Everyone went to the auction house and tried to press the subscribe button.
however…….
[Temporary errors occur due to a large increase in subscribers.]
[Please try again later.]
I tried to subscribe but couldn’t.

-Ah, Mr. Hyun, please let me subscribe… … !
-Godhyun… … Are you now blocking my subscription? Hehehe… … .
An unfortunate incident occurred.
-Will is said to be a user who will be remembered in history for a long time… … .
-Hey Mr. Lee, foreign kids are subscribing too… …!
-Is Yeoki the son of Daechangchang and Han-guk?
-They say that world-class rankers will ask Hyunhan to make it, so it keeps becoming an issue and they keep coming in… … .
The next day.
Those who woke up early in the morning were able to successfully connect.
-Hey, I’m connected… … !
They were astonished.
-Is the number of subscribers real…?
It was because the numbers were hard to believe even when you saw them with your own eyes.

Early morning.
Hyunsoo woke up to the loud sound of the phone ringing.
After completing the ferocious labyrinth time attack strategy.
Mentally exhausted, they decided to take a day to rest.
“Uhh… …Hello?”
Hyunsoo answered the phone with a tired voice.
-Hyunsoo, I’m the landlady.
“Yes, ma’am!”
Hyunsoo suddenly came to his senses.
It was Mrs. Kim Hye-sook who took good care of me by providing me with side dishes and other things while I was staying in the two-story house.
– Did you see the TV? Hyun-soo is a blacksmith named Hyun, right? Congratulations. I’m so proud of you, Hyun-soo.
The owner’s voice could also be heard over the phone.
-Hahaha, I told you. If that guy leaves, things will be great! All they do on TV is talk about the blacksmith Hyun!
Hye-sook said.
-Oh, we’re not that oblivious, so don’t worry too much. We didn’t tell anyone.
“Oh, yes. Anyway, thank you!”
Hyunsoo made a puzzled expression.
‘I expected the news to come out, but… … .’
But I was so tired yesterday.
Also, I checked the number of subscribers to Hyun’s Blacksmith in real time or watched TV, so I fell asleep right away.
As soon as I hung up the phone, another call came.
It was my real friend Ji-hoon.
-I’m a little proud. Congratulations.
“… … What are you doing this early in the morning? What’s my subscriber rank?”
-See for yourself, anyway congratulations.
In addition, I received calls from my attending physician, Jinseop, and nurse Jihye.
“Why aren’t you telling me… … ?”
Hyunsoo turned on the TV with a puzzled expression.
– Last night, the Ares Auction House was down for a long time. It is believed that this was due to many users from around the world flocking to the Blacksmith Shop of Hyun, who led the Time Attack Dungeon…
Hyunsoo suddenly stood up.
‘I was thinking that I would be happy just by making it into the top 5… … .’
The first reason I tried time attack was to obtain the highest grade orichalcum.
The increase in the number of subscribers was something Hyunsoo had not anticipated.
‘Well, an 8-minute record is ridiculous.’
Hyunsoo sat in front of the computer.
‘The Joytuber Encyclopedia of Everything…?’
Let’s take a quick look. It seems like a lot of things happened while they were doing the time attack.
Soon, Hyunsoo logged into the auction house with a trembling expression.
‘The last time I checked, you were ranked 7th with about 1.7 million subscribers, right?’
And I was shocked when I saw the numbers before my eyes.
[Hyeon’s Blacksmith Subscribers 2,216,013]
[Currently ranked 2nd in Korean Blacksmith Subscribers.]
‘2nd place… … ?’
In the time I wasn’t looking, my subscribers had increased by about 500,000.
I was so surprised that I was speechless.
‘I think it’s a stabilization period of about a month… … .’
Usually, once you make a splash, subscribers will continue to come in for a month.
‘We could have 2.5 million subscribers in a month.’
Now the difference in subscribers with Black Moru is 500,000.
If we could gain another 500,000 subscribers, Hyun’s Blacksmith could solidify its position as the number one in the country.
Hyunsoo gave a small smile.
‘That shabby blacksmith shop is now in first place.’
And Hyunsoo suddenly remembered the notification he had heard when he reached level 300.
‘A new job quest… … .’
Hyunsoo logged in.

“Is it clear now? You held out for a long time.”
Special User Management Team.
Taeseok, Jihee, and Sejin are monitoring together.
In the monitor they were looking at, there was an assassin hiding in the lord’s castle of the Balas estate.
Informant Kabel.
He was an unofficial ranker and was a very strong player, comparable to the #1 assassin.
And the information expert, Kabel, is also famous for his excellent information skills and digs up various information.
He recently pursued the truth about the Hyeon’s Blacksmith and reached the Balas Estate, where he learned it.
“Will Cable sell the information right away??”
Whenever Cable could get information, he would sell it at a high price.
It was possible that the hidden blacksmith shop of the castle would be revealed and that danger would arise.
“Maybe so.”
Cavell’s stealth abilities are transcendent.
No one has found him yet.
But only one being noticed the presence of such a cable in the monitor.
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
That being was none other than Bokdeungi.
-Huh?
Bokdeungi discovers Cabel hiding in the darkness.
The guy’s tail moves like a helicopter.
My nose is constantly running with mucus.
And then that guy… … .
Bullerdang-
The boat capsized in front of the cable.
[The cuteness effect is activated.]
The three people who saw him smiled like fathers.
Soon Jihee’s face crumpled.
“… … Could it be that Cabel is harming Bokdeungi to avoid being discovered?”
Cavell is a dangerous man with no mercy or compassion.
In fact, the Special User Management Team has also seen many of Cable’s actions.
Lee Se-jin shook his head.
“Do you know what level the passive skill ‘Bokdeungi is cute’ is?”
The belly button is cute.
The grades of all other skills possessed by Bokdeungi are marked as ???
Taeseok laughed in vain.
“Surely not, is this a god-class thing?”
“… … That’s right.”
Yes, even though Bokdeungi looks like that, he is definitely one of the four gods of Ares.
Each and every skill he possessed was special, and most of their effects were hidden.
Additionally, the cuteness of the lucky charm is also written in the passive skill.
‘Something special might happen.’
Lee Se-jin said.
“That power sometimes exerts a power similar to the grace of the lord that user Hyun-soo possesses.”
The grace of the lord.
It is the power to attract people and make them loyal.
Of course, it will be triggered in a slightly different direction.
Then, Lee Se-jin laughed in vain.
“Come to think of it, user Hyunsoo really named Bokdeungi well.”
Lucky charm.
It meant to bring good fortune.
“We’ll have to wait and see what happens in the future.”
Lee Se-jin also saw Cable and Bok-deung-i on the monitor.
***
Informant Kabel.
He was following the trail of the hottest trend these days.
Then, I decided that there might be a connection between the teacher who revived the Balas territory and the blacksmith shop of the present.
Because of this, he went into hiding in the Balas estate and discovered a surprising fact.
‘Hyeon and the teacher. Crazy Rookie were the same person?’
It was truly an astonishing fact.
After spending a few days in the castle gathering more information, Cavell intended to sell it.
Then I encountered a being.
“… … ?”
The guy who starts off by covering his stomach and lying down looks at me with a hazy(?) expression.
“Maaang… … .”
[Bokdeungi asks to be petted.]
It’s ridiculous.
‘How on earth did you find me?’
It made me reflect on whether I was lacking something.
Anyway, I thought that Cable was in danger.
He scattered his life.
Usually, those who encounter Cavell’s murderous aura either run away or faint on the spot.
however…….
“Gwaaaaam… … .”
The plump, pink belly turned over and yawned.
Cavell couldn’t understand English at all.
at that time.
[The cuteness effect is activated.]
Cabel looked puzzled.
Suddenly, it felt like some kind of oppressive force was pulling him towards it.
‘What on earth is this power… …?’
Cabel is a high ranker.
A power that breaks through one’s high status resistance.
Additionally, although Cavell did not know it, this power was not something that was randomly activated by just anyone.
The content written in Bokdeungi is cute.
‘Only activates for those with special powers.’
Cavell was worthy enough to be one of those with that special power.
Eventually, Cavell was forced to stroke Bokdeungi’s belly due to his coercive power.
Then Bokdeungi’s eyes blinked shut.
In addition, a strange notification was heard.
[Your body will feel energized and your mind will feel at ease.]
[Bokdeungi is a cute activation target.]
[You can’t harm the belly button.]
‘What is this…?’
Just touching the puppy made me feel refreshed and my body felt energized.
Also, the one that said ‘Something special is happening’ showed its power.
Tiring!
[Hidden Quest: Take a walk a day with Bokdeungi!]
Grade: A
Restriction: Those who touch the belly button
Reward: Increase selected Assassin skill by 1 level.
Penalty on failure: None
Description: You have been chosen by Bokdeungi. If you walk Bokdeungi for one hour every day for a month, you will receive a special reward.
“… … !?”
Cavell was the most shocked he’s ever been while playing Ares.
‘What, what is this?’
If you walk this unknown dog once a day for a month, the skill of your choice will increase by 1 level.
For top high rankers, raising their stats or skill levels any further has become close to being an absolute necessity.
Why can’t you just take them for walks for a month?
I also found out.
‘This is very important and great information.’
The one who gave this reward was this unidentified baby Sigorjabjong.
If I sold the information and people came flocking to it, they might find out about it.
“… … .”
Cable.
Before he knew it, he saw a puppy named Bokdeung sleeping in his arms.
‘It’s not too late to sell the information a month later.’
The reward was too great to refuse the quest.
Maybe after the month-long walk, I’d get a new quest.
‘I guess I’ll have to stay here for a while and take her for a walk.’
And I didn’t know it at the time.
As the name suggests, the person named Cabel will be a great blessing to Guild Gwangmyeong.
