Episode 152
Cheonmujiche (4)
Jeongdo closed his eyes once and opened them again. And he once again looked at the two roulette wheels.
Nothing changed. The two roulette wheels were still pointing to <Cheonmujiche> and <Dangongcham>.
“Wow, this thing pops up like this.”
<… Isn’t it a scam? It fits perfectly in the two narrowest spaces?>
It was just as Yoo Seon said.
<Cheonmujiche> and <Dangongcham> had a uniquely narrow space among the numerous talents and skills possessed by Cheok Jun-gyeong.
If it’s one, ‘Oh! You could say ‘I’m so lucky’ and move on, but honestly, it was difficult to accept that both roulette games beat extremely bad odds.
‘Has something like trust compensation been applied?’
Although it did not appear in the notification window, it seemed like this phenomenon occurred as a compensation for some reason. If not, did someone manipulate it? Such kind manipulation is always welcome.
<What. How about it? Confucius. It’s not a bad thing, is it?>
“I strongly agree.”
okay. What does it matter whether something intervened, manipulated it, or just some truly absurd luck?
The important thing is that you have hit the jackpot now, and from now on, you can just indulge in happy worries.
‘What should I choose?’
Honestly, both were very attractive.
In particular, <Dangong Cham>, which I had just used, was more powerful than any other skill that Jeongdo had used so far. It seemed like the feeling of cutting through space still remained in my hands.
So, do you choose <Dangong Cham>?
That wasn’t it again. This time, Jeong Do looked at the <Cheonmujiche> talent.
Just like <Dangongcham>, this guy was definitely different from the talent I’ve seen so far.
<Cheonmujiche-lv.3>
Unlike things like <swordsmanship>, <lance>, or <magic>, it was a proper noun. Just by looking at the name, it seemed like he was asserting himself by saying, ‘I am very special.’
Judging by the talent monsters like Cheok Jun-kyung and Martial God Ma possess, aren’t they almost the ultimate in martial arts talent?
Moreover, seeing as he was able to nullify his own <observation>, it seemed like he was a talent with the ability to defend against mental intervention.
Are you the best passive talent who will become the base for all things?
Or is it the strongest active skill that can tear everything apart?
The worries didn’t last long. I was able to quickly decide what to choose.
<You have acquired <Cheonmujiche-lv.3> as a road reward.>
“Good.”
<Confucius. I think it’s better that way, too. Isn’t the name of the god of war? >
However, that was not the reason why Jeong Do chose <Cheonmujiche>. Rather, it was a much simpler reason than what Yoo Seon said.
‘I probably won’t be able to use the Dangong Cham even if I get it.’
A hidden skill that can only be activated when you are 100% assimilated with Cheok Jun-gyeong. What he meant was that he could only use it if he reached the level of Cheokjungyeong.
It’s impossible for me right now.
Now that the loading of Cheokjungyeong was over, I could only vaguely feel the state at that time. Of course, that vague feeling was more important to me than anything else right now.
‘Maybe it’s connected to that feeling at that time.’
The ‘Miracle of the Beginning’ encountered in Listhenia, Ixia’s hometown.
Even when I fought the old man, I felt a strange sensation.
The sensation at that time and the sensation when assimilating with Cheok Jun-gyeong were clearly different. The sensation he felt when fighting with the old man was due to his own <communication>, and the sensation he felt while assimilating with Cheok Jun-gyeong was related to the ‘state of nothingness’.
But does that mean the two senses are completely separate? If you asked that question, the answer was ambiguous. Although there was no evidence at all, I felt that the two senses were vaguely connected.
‘I have to make those two senses mine.’
However, neither of these were things that could be achieved in a short period of time. Jeongdo gave up his impatience and turned his attention elsewhere.
widely.
Jeong-do stood in front of a large door.
“I think this is when my heart trembles the most.”
<Everyone does that. Isn’t this the moment when your efforts show results?>
Actually, this time I came in to rescue Hae-joon and Ellie, so I wasn’t expecting anything like this… Well, what was good was good.
He pushed open the large door with both hands and entered the room.
Compared to the size of the door, the size of the room was not that large. And there were no special items.
A wide altar in the very center of the room. And on the altar, three boxes were placed with their mouths closed.
<It’s good because it’s easy to understand.>
It was just as Yoo Seon said. Jeongdo slowly walked towards the altar. Then a notification window appeared in front of him.
Tiring!
<You have entered the reward room.>
<You have successfully cleared the Hidden Event (Descent of War). Rewards are greatly enhanced.>
<Originally, only one of three rewards could be selected, but all three are given as rewards.>
“oh.”
Originally, it seemed like the last surviving person would get one box.
However, due to some intervention, a hidden dungeon was unintentionally opened and the reward was tripled.
‘It’s nice that I don’t have to worry.’
Thinking about that, I picked up the box on the far left.
Squeak.
The box opened with a creaking sound of hinges.
Inside the box was a small glass bottle. Jeong Do carefully picked up the glass bottle.
A small glass bottle that fits in one hand. The bottle fluttered as if there was liquid in it.
The glass bottle was very nicely crafted. It seemed to remind me of luxury brand perfume bottles sold on the market.

‘It can’t be real perfume.’
What’s inside the bottle?
Well, if you were curious, you could find out. To some extent, I used observation towards the glass bottle.
Tiring.
<empty blue oil>
<It is a precious elixir that is created once every 10 years in a place where the magical energy of the earth gathers. It increases the user’s mana and removes waste from the body, increasing mana sensitivity.>
<When taken, Mana + 30, Mana Responsiveness + 30 (If you have the talent <Heavenless Body>, the effect increases by 1.5 times.>
“and.”
The identity of the liquid in the glass bottle was Gongcheong Petroleum, which I had heard about in martial arts circles.
An elixir of elixirs that increases your stamina by several degrees when taken. I didn’t know much about what would happen if Gapja’s internal power was converted into mana units, but the numbers in the information window alone were jaw-dropping numbers.
A whopping 30 mana increase. Plus, mana sensitivity!
And that wasn’t the end.
Choosing <Cheonmujiche> was truly an excellent choice. 30 mana alone is enormous, but thanks to the effect of Heaven and Earth, 45 mana was obtained.
<Gongcheong Petroleum. I once drank a drop while I was emperor. Since Jim didn’t learn martial arts, he ended up living a long and healthy life.>
“… … .”
In actual history, Liu Xian overthrew the Shu dynasty and went into exile in the Wei dynasty. I heard he ate well and played well there until his death, but I never thought he had such a secret.
<Try taking it once. Very good for men… … .>
“First, after looking at other things.”
Jeong Do gently placed the Gongcheong Oil on the altar and then opened the next box.
The second box contained a book. It was an old-style book, not a modern, neat book.
To a certain extent, I could tell the identity of this reward as soon as I saw it.
‘It must be a skill book.’
I was certain of this and used <observation>.
<Pacheon Kwon (破天拳)>
<Regarding martial arts, it is a martial art created by a young warrior with demonic talent. It is written according to the creator’s standards and is difficult for criminals to understand, but its power is real. (Acquisition Restriction: Must possess talent <Heonmujiche>, or <Fighting Arts-lv.2>, or <Fighting Arts-lv.2> or higher.)
<If you possess the talent <Thousands of Destiny>, you can utilize the skill 100%.>
<If you have the talent <Fighting – Lv.3> or <Bactual Fighting – Lv.3>, you can use up to 80% of your skills.>
<If you have the talent <Fighting – Lv.2> or <Bactual Fighting – Lv.2>, you can use up to 50% of your skills.>
As expected, the true identity of the book is a skill book. It was also a martial art created by Musinma himself. It was a perfect skill for Do-do, who did not have the skills to use it with his bare hands. When he fought Musinma earlier, he said he created several martial arts, so it looked like one of them.
If the person who survived until the end didn’t have the talent, then why did they throw away such a reward… Well, if Musinma was that considerate of others, he wouldn’t have created a battle royale dungeon like this.
Just like during the Gongcheong Petroleum session, Jeong-do put down the book and opened the last box. Inside the box was a magic scroll.
“hmm?”
scroll?
Gongcheong Petroleum, and the scroll after the Military Secretariat?
I thought Musinma was a character from a universe set in the world of martial arts, but I guess that wasn’t necessarily true.
Jeongdo used the scroll that would be the last observation of this dungeon.
<Movement scroll to the martial arts world>
<If you tear it, it will move to the wireless world.>
“What is this?”
Compared to the previous two items, the information was very poor. No, it wasn’t beyond a meager level. At least for a moment, I thought my observation was wrong and tried it three more times, but the results were the same.
“Wireless? Yoo Seon. Have you ever heard of it?”
<This is the first time I’ve heard of it. There’s no way things like nothingness or goodness have anything to do with luggage, right?>
“… … .”
That’s right. It could literally be said to be two words that are completely opposite to wired. Jeongdo looked at the scroll in his hand again.
Wireless system.
The scroll was clearly a reward provided by the Musinma.
Judging by the fact that he gave this scroll as a reward, it seemed like he wanted me to come to the wireless egg place. I don’t know why.
‘If I were to judge just by the name, it would seem to be a place where there are people who became immortals out of nothing.’
Why do you call a place like that? Does this mean that we will at least settle the unfinished game?
<Confucius. What should I do? Do you want to go?>
“… Hmm.”
I thought about it for a moment, but then shook my head.
It was unwise to move blindly without even knowing what kind of place it was. It would be better to ask Winry or the dwarves where the radio system is before moving on.
I was curious, but there were more important things to do right now. In a way, he was once again reminded of why he came here.
This is because I had something to ask Hae-joon and Ellie McDowell at the same time.
How on earth was she able to create an Awaker?
Awaker was a world where magic was much more advanced than that of Earth, and even with the help of miracles from the beginning, it was difficult to create properly.
She has a helper of the ‘Miracle of the Beginning’ level. She couldn’t help but think so.
<Then are we going to leave now? In that case, Gongcheong Oil and Mugong will be used outside.>
“no. “I think it would be better to handle it here since no one is here.”
<Then why don’t you drink it quickly?>
“Because there’s something I have to do before that.”
To some extent, I looked at Gongcheong Petroleum and Pacheongong Bilevel with mixed feelings.
In order to use these treasures with the highest efficiency, one had to possess <Cheonmujiche>.
In short, it meant that stabilization work had to be completed.
“Should I get some general anesthetic and carry it with me?”
There was no way the work of carving talent into the body could be covered with just anesthetic, but I wanted to complain like this.
<Cheonmujiche-lv.3> was not the only talent that he was currently stabilizing. She also had <Swordsmanship -lv.3>, which she obtained as soon as she loaded the scope.
Two level 3 talents had to be stabilized at the same time. It was so obvious that it would hurt like crazy.
You can’t not say that!
Jeong-do took out a gag from his inventory and asked. And then I took off the stabilization collar.
After a while.
A man’s pitiful scream rang out in the dungeon, and Yoo Seon thanked the gods of heaven and earth that he had no body.
