Episode 84.
Siwoo tilted his head without realizing it.
That makes sense, why is Kim Yi-jun here?
More than anything.
“How did you know I was here?”
“The management office told me.”
“From the management office?”
Siwoo wondered what that meant.
Naturally, the identity of the person who reserved the dungeon was kept secret.
Something you shouldn’t tell anyone else.
But what… .
“I found out when I was reserving a dungeon. So, the dungeon cleaner said that all the dungeons had been swept away, and there were no dungeons to reserve. Then, they showed me a list of the dungeons that had been swept away.”
“hmm?”
Siwoo tilted his head again.
The management office staff showed me a list of dungeons that had been reserved… I kind of understood it.
Because that was something that could easily be done.
That would be the case, since that alone was not enough to determine Siwoo’s location.
There was only one way to know for sure.
“Have you searched all those dungeons?”
“yes.”
“……”
Siwoo was really outrageous.
How many of those lists are there and did you go through them all?
Today there were only eight.
If you combine the previous dungeons, there were hundreds of them.
There were so many that I can’t remember the exact number.
Have you searched through all those dungeons?
“I thought I was going to die from the pain.”
You could say he was truly crazy.
“You could have just contacted me.”
“I don’t know your number.”
That was true.
Even though we were admitted to the same special room, we never had a chance to exchange numbers.
however.
“You can just ask your sister.”
“…ah?”
Then Kim Yi-jun showed an expression of great enlightenment.
The expression on his face as he looked at Siwoo was like, ‘Are you a genius?’
Me too.
Siwoo just let out a hollow laugh.
“So. Why did you come to me?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Kim Yi-jun changed his expression again and continued speaking.
“I asked my older sister, and she said that you are farming monster byproducts.”
“But? No, wait. I was going to say this last time, but why am I your older brother?”
“Because you are my sister’s friend?”
Well, that wasn’t wrong.
According to So-eun, Kim Yi-jun is 20 years old this year.
And Siwoo was 23 years old, the same age as Soeun.
Siwoo was definitely older than Kim Yijun.
But why is that?
I felt a bit awkward when he called me brother.
More than anything.
“You’re not my brother-in-law, are you?”
Why do I always come to that conclusion?
“I told you, he’s not my boyfriend.”
“My brother-in-law is not my sister’s boyfriend. He’s my husband.”
“What is that…?”
Oh, that’s enough.
“Just call me hyung.”
Siwoo shook his head.
Because what my brother said wasn’t wrong.
And didn’t Siwoo start speaking informally to Kim Yijun as soon as he met him?
Because of the strong image of So-eun as her younger sibling, she made a few mistakes.
Well, anyway.
“So, I came here to help you, brother.”
“Help? You? Me?”
“Yes! I will help you both materially and spiritually, brother!”

Siwoo was lost in thought for a moment after hearing Kim Yi-jun’s words.
But that was only for a moment.
“I don’t really need any help.”
Siwoo didn’t really feel like it.
There were several reasons.
But if I had to pick one, it would be this.
“We have to share the profits.”
There are already a lot of materials that need to be collected.
It was not possible to split the profits in half.
Almost all of the monsters Siu farmed here were used as equipment materials.
When it came to dividing the profits, the calculations were a headache in many ways.
But what the heck.
“You don’t have to give me the profit.”
“What? So you’re saying you’ll help me for free?”
“Of course! You are the one who saved my life. Considering that debt, you don’t need to give me any profit.”
In short, he said he would repay the favor.
Well, then.
“That’s okay though.”
Still, it was a proposal I wasn’t particularly keen on.
What if Siwoo is having trouble with dungeon raids right now?
There are no particular difficulties, so is it really necessary to bring one more person along?
“it’s okay.”
Siwoo showed a firm refusal.
“but….”
“It was helpful. Above all, you’re a B-class hunter. You have your own life, so you shouldn’t be using someone like that.”
“I’m fine. Isn’t it hard for you to raid monsters alone, hyung? I’ll help you out here─.”
“It’s not that burdensome.”
It wasn’t an empty remark, it really wasn’t that hard.
Whether you know that fact or not.
Kim Yi-jun’s expression became blank for a moment.
But that was only for a moment.
“Then I’ll be a porter. The materials you’ve farmed are a bit heavy. I’ll… .”
“I’m doing some weight training, so that’s okay.”
“Weight training?”
“There is something like that.”
Siwoo just waved his hands.
And at this point, it seems like it would be time to give up.
Kim Yi-jun didn’t seem to have any such intentions.
“I’ll do anything, really. Even chores. Just think of me as a slave and use me.”
“I told you, that’s enough. Why do you want to help me so badly?”
“Because I owe you my life, brother.”
Kim Yi-jun answered with a very serious look in his eyes.
And look.
It seemed like he wasn’t just talking about his own life.
“More than anything, my brother helps me a lot.”
Kim Yi-jun’s older sister, So-eun.
So Kim Yi-jun truly wanted to repay Si-woo’s kindness.
Siwoo said with a small sigh.
“I also get a lot of help from your sister. So don’t worry about that.”
After saying those words, Siwoo started walking away.
and.
“Now, just a moment!”
As expected, Kim Yi-jun didn’t seem to have any intention of giving up.
“Then just once. How about we try raiding together just once and then decide?”
“Want to do a raid together?”
“Yes! I have reserved the Turtle Dragon Dungeon.”
“Turtle Dragon Dungeon?”
When did you reserve it?
The Turtle Dragon was a very popular monster.
The competition was so fierce that it was bloody.
Although Siwoo has cleared it and come out now, this is also his first time.
“Yes. Let’s go and do a raid together now! I’ll prove my worth! Of course, I’ll give you all the profits!”
“hmm.”
Siwoo was lost in thought for a moment.
Well, it wasn’t a bad offer for Siwoo.
It was a proposal that had nothing but benefits, far from being bad.
Turtle Dragon is a monster needed for construction materials.
And it didn’t seem like Kim Yi-jun would back down like this.
So it won’t be a big problem.
Maybe once in a while.
Aren’t you going to give me all the profits?
“Okay, then.”
“Yes!”
Kim Yi-jun clenched his fist and showed off what was so good about it.
* * *
“……”
Kim Yi-jun had nothing to say.
I really didn’t know what to call this.
It’s not that I didn’t know.
I knew that Siwoo’s skills were extremely outstanding.
Didn’t you witness the overwhelming power in that basement with your own two eyes?
A distant force that destroyed space itself.
It was strange not knowing.
Still, I thought there would be difficulties.
I thought that no matter how great a person is, he would have difficulty working alone.
That’s why I thought it might definitely help.
I thought I could repay the favor.
But what the heck.
Kwaaaaang!
There wasn’t any.
What the hell is the problem?
There was no difficulty in facing that overwhelming power.
No, even if there was, it would just be a total mess!
There was no opportunity for Kim Yi-jun to come forward.
There was absolutely no opportunity to help.
No, what help is that?
“Because you’re being a nuisance. Stop nagging at the side and stay back.”
“Yes, yes? Oh, yes.”
It’s a bit tricky.
I was confident in my skills as a B-class hunter.
Any party, any guild.
I’m anxious to get myself taken care of.
But it’s annoying so they tell me to go back.
My pride was terribly hurt.
Kwaang─! Kwakwang!
But I had nothing to say.
Crunch!
I really had nothing to say.
Ugh, ugh, ugh─!
really.
Kim Yi-jun blankly watched Si-woo’s fight.
Siwoo was fighting fiercely against dozens of turtle dragons.
Is this the right person…?
Such movements continued to occur.
However, you can’t hunt a turtle dragon just because you’re good at moving.
A turtle monster with the appearance of a dragon.
The hardness of its shell was comparable to Dragon Skin.
It actually fell behind the Dragon Skin, but it was still possible to make a comparison.
But what the heck.
Perseus-seok─!
It seems it was all a joke.
The crab’s shell cracks open in Siwoo’s bare hands.
“Huh? I adjusted my strength wrong.”
And then I heard Siwoo muttering.
“……”
Kim Yi-jun couldn’t think at all.
It didn’t take long for dozens of turtle dragons to fall.
“1 minute…?”
1 min.
I wasn’t sure, but there were probably about 20 of them.
Then, it would be like one was dropped every three seconds.
“What is this….”
What on earth does he do?
And why am I here?
“……”
For some reason, Kim Yi-jun felt gloomy.
* * *
Dozens of turtle dragons scattered around.
Tiring! A notification window appeared on the smartphone screen with a sound.
Skill level is rising explosively.
“Is this the same thing as last time?”
None other than the second form of Hercules’ divine fighting technique.
It seemed like the skill level that had increased at that time was also reflected.
“Hmm.”
Siwoo was lost in thought for a moment.
It was like that before, and it is like that now.
“It’s not as strong as I thought.”
The turtle dragon’s sturdiness was different from what was expected.
Of course, it was a natural thing to say in front of Hercules’ monstrous strength (SS).
As the saying goes, even a real dragon wouldn’t be able to withstand the power of such brute force.
This was especially true if one had already reached a level of proficiency.
but.
“Even considering that, it was easy.”
What should I say?
Should I say that there isn’t even a sense of impact?
I didn’t feel like it was breaking the solidity.
It felt like the solidity itself was being taken away.
“Is it because of the magic of Taegeuk?”
hmm….
It wasn’t certain.
But it seemed like there was another power in the Taegeuk.
The Taegeuk that Siwoo originally envisioned was something that could capture the energy of Mother Nature without going through a refining process.
But now that I look at it, it doesn’t seem like that was the case.
“It seems like it has the ability to return to nothing.”
Should we say that it is returning to the beginning?
The power of the Taegeuk nullified all opposing abilities.
It seemed as if the turtle dragon’s hardness itself had been eliminated.
“I didn’t know that last time, during the Monster Power Heavenly Annihilation Fist… .”
At that time, the power of the past was so great that it was not noticeable.
But I could definitely feel it when I faced the turtle dragon.
Taegeuk (太極), which contains the origin of the universe.
It wasn’t certain, but it seemed like it had the ability to turn back to nothing.
“I think it suits my personality well?”
There was certainly a reason Hercules recommended it.
Oh yeah.
Hercules.
“By the way, Hercules, I haven’t heard from this gentleman yet.”
To be exact, I did get a call once.
But the timing wasn’t good.
“You came just as I was passing out… ”
So I unintentionally ignored your call again.
I sent the message again, but this time I wonder if he’s really mad.
I read the message but there was no reply.
“Should I tell you about two pieces of video content?”
Siwoo walked with that thought in his mind.
And then, a quick glance.
For some reason, Kim Yi-jun had a gloomy expression on his face.
He seemed disappointed that it didn’t really help.
It was a little sad, though….
But I felt it was a bit difficult to ask for help.
Well, anyway.
“I have to go out and farm.”
Siwoo checked the corpse of the turtle dragon that had been spread out.
Then suddenly.
In the corner of my vision I could see a shattered camera.
A camera installed to film YouTube videos.
The camera was completely smashed.
It seemed like I had touched it while fighting the turtle dragon.
It seemed like the camera had also been turned back to nothing.
“Haa, how many have you already destroyed?”
Siwoo let out a sigh without realizing it.
With a little exaggeration, it seems like I’ve easily spent tens of millions of won on cameras so far.
Because the camera changes for each dungeon.
“The cost of the camera will be more than the revenue from YouTube.”
Here’s Deokgu’s salary and incentives.
There has never been a deficit like this.
“But the memory chip is still alive.”
Fortunately, the video itself didn’t fly away.
A blessing in disguise.
But it was only a blessing in disguise.
“The angle of the video isn’t very good.”
Since it relies on the power of a stand, the angles are very limited.
It was impossible to capture the fight outside of the video angle.
The tension of moving and fighting was completely impossible to capture.
“It’s fortunate that Deokgu is good at editing.”
There were more than one or two things that were inconvenient in many ways.
“Who will take the video for me─.”
For a moment, my thoughts suddenly stopped.
