Episode 35
SS (1)
Jijijijik.
As the dungeon disappeared along with the noise, Jeong-do returned to Mars.
“Whoa.”
I released the tension that had been building up and sighed lightly. It is already time for the sun to set. Jeongdo checked his condition.
‘The current mana is… ‘Is it 11?’
No matter how much lower level Jeong Yak-yong was than other diamond-level people, he was much higher than Jeong-do’s level. Jeong Yak-Yong, who loaded from the album, consumed most of the mana and only 11 remained. This also barely exceeded 10 thanks to the 4 mana that went up when I first loaded Jeong Yak-yong.
‘Since we’re on Mars, let’s use up the remaining mana.’
Isn’t it a good sign that I have enough mana left to draw just once? With that in mind, I used <Location Draw>.
And the result of the lottery.
It was a normal business card.
But I wasn’t disappointed to some extent. I gained too much today to be disappointed by just one failed draw, and the normal business card I just drew was also meaningless.
The name of the person we just loaded is Kim Dal-bong.
He was a worker who carried stones during the construction of Hwaseong Fortress. Jeongdo confirmed his hypothesis once again.
‘I can’t say for sure, but it seems certain that the character loaded through the bond draw is greatly influenced by the situation or location.’
There were definitely characters like Wired and Mordred who appeared regardless of location and situation. It would be correct to think that location and situation simply increase the odds.
As I slowly walked inside Mars, I summarized what happened today.
‘It has become clear that loading an album will not increase your abilities.’
Even when I loaded the gold Jaina of Truth into the album, there was no increase in her abilities. She wondered if Diamond might be special, but in the end she didn’t come up. She concluded that, to some extent, her albums did not improve her abilities.
And the skills I learned today.
‘I never thought <Game> Talent would have such a function… .’
The two skills <Abanggang Yeokgo> and <Yeohyeonggeo and Geojunggi> were combined with existing skills to create a game-like skill.
‘Are other users who own <game> also trying to acquire skills in this way?’
Jang Cheol-san was like that. <Game> There are people other than yourself who have talent. After thinking about it for a moment, I quickly shook my head.
It was difficult to think that other people would be able to obtain the skills he had acquired today. Even if they do obtain it, it is unclear how the skill will be implemented for those who do not have the <Status Window> skill. Jeong Do opened the status window and analyzed the skills he had learned today.
<Unsinkable only.>
A skill that gives you strong resistance to poison and disease. It was just as described, so there was nothing to analyze. One thing that is disappointing is that it is not ‘immunity’ but ‘strong resistance’. This means that in the case of a truly high-level Germany, there is a possibility of inflicting fatal wounds by breaking through the effect of the German-only invulnerability. With that in mind, I looked at the next skill.
<Dungeon map.>
‘I guess I have no choice but to try this.’
To that extent, I used the <Dungeon Map> skill.
Pot!
As soon as I used the skill, a window with a map appeared in front of me. Same format as navigation. It was possible to know the terrain within a certain distance based on the degree.
At the center of the map was a large star indicating the degree, and a yellow circle was located quite far away from the star.
‘Does this circle represent a dungeon?’
If it is the location shown on the map, it is not that far from here. I decided to go directly to the place with the yellow circle.
When we arrived a little later, there was a dungeon, as expected. As if ownership of the dungeon had already been determined, a flag with the guild mark was planted next to the crack. Because of this, I didn’t pay much attention and activated the dungeon map again. Judging by the fact that the asterisk indicating the degree and the yellow circle overlapped, it was clear that the circle represented a dungeon.
“hmm?”
And a new circle appeared at the end of the dungeon map. This is an area that was not visible when I first turned on the dungeon map, but was newly visible when I arrived here. A circle was marked in the area.
The problem was that the color of the circle was green.
“This can’t be right…” .”
I got a feeling. Jeong Do quickly took out Annalize from his backpack and inspected the dungeon in front of him.
Beep, beep, beep.
Grade B. Annihilation type. 10 people or less.
After confirming the information, I walked back to the place where the new dungeon appeared.
Because it was a long distance, it took quite some time to arrive. The dungeon there was already a dungeon with an owner, but I didn’t care about the level and took out the analysis and started analyzing it.
C grade. Annihilation type. 5 people or less.
“After all, color represents rank.”
Class B is yellow. Class C is indicated by a green circle. I would have to see other levels of dungeons in person to confirm this, but seeing as they were yellow and then green, I guessed that they were in rainbow color order.
“Good.”
It was very useful to know not only the location but also the grade. Of course, it was inconvenient to not be able to distinguish between dungeons that had just been discovered and traded, but there was a solution to that as well.
Notification ON/OFF mode that appears in the notification window when you first learn a skill. When the degree set the notification mode to ON, a notification window appeared.
<A notification will be sent to the user whenever a newly created dungeon is discovered.>
“good.”
With this, I was able to acquire new dungeons faster than anyone else. If you really put your mind to it and just farm dungeons, most seekers in the metropolitan area will become unemployed. I was satisfied with the level and completed the analysis of the dungeon map.
There is only one thing left now.
It was a long-awaited inventory.
The extent to which the inventory skill was activated.
Pot!
The inventory you only see in games appeared before your eyes.
10 spaces horizontally and 10 spaces vertically. Exactly 100 spaces welcomed Jeongdo.
‘But how do I use this?’
The moment you touch the inventory with doubts about the degree.
Sigh.
As it was, my finger was sucked into the inventory window.
“aha.”
i get it. Jeongdo picked up a rock rolling around and put it in his inventory. Then, a picture of a stone was created in the first space of the inventory.

“It’s like this.”
It’s easier to use than you think. I was satisfied with the level and closed the inventory.
Of course, there were analysis elements left, such as size and weight restrictions, but I decided to check the remaining details upon returning home.
The steps I took after leaving Mars and returning home were very light.
* * * * * *
The next morning.
Jeongdo woke up in the morning to the sound of his cell phone crying. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and picked up her cell phone to check the time and sender.
5:37 AM.
Kang Haesik.
“… … .”
Jeong-do was left speechless by the phone call that came too early, but he soon sighed and answered the phone.
“hello.”
“older brother!!!”
Haesik’s booming voice rang out through the phone. Jeongdo sighed again and said.
“I’m not deaf. Speak gently. “What’s going on?”
“Sorry for the early hour! But I was so excited… older brother. Are you going to the dungeon today too? I’ve searched for a few dungeons. “If you give me permission, I will buy it right away.”
“… “Are you some kind of elementary school student who wakes up early in the morning and waits for us to go on a picnic?”
Jeong-do scolded Hae-sik for his passionate words.
‘however. Buying the dungeon right away?’
Just like the last dungeon, Haesik seemed to have no hesitation about purchasing the dungeon. If the dungeon wasn’t worth a penny or two, I was talking as if I was going to a local supermarket to buy something. Did you mean that the price of dungeons had just plummeted? Jeongdo accessed Mana Net to find out the prices of low-level dungeons.
‘… It’s definitely in the billions.’
Do-do asked Haesik.
“you. Do you have money to buy a dungeon?”
“yes? Is it worth living with the pocket money I saved up? Rather than that, brother. Should I buy it right now?”
“… … .”
Are you saying that Haesik had a golden spoon? No, the term “golden spoon” is not enough; it looked like a super special adamantium spoon. Although I was curious about Hae-sik’s identity, he first told me about purchasing the dungeon.
“no. Don’t buy it, but take a look around the dungeon with me later and decide on a purchase. “Get ready and I’ll contact you.”
It would have been nice to go around the dungeon that Hae-sik had purchased, but it was much better for Jeong-do to check it through direct observation and check for monsters that appeared or the presence or absence of hidden rewards before making the purchase.
‘yes. older brother! ‘I’ll be waiting.’
Beep.
Do-do hung up the phone and laughed. It’s good when team members are motivated. As the leader of the team, shall I go and repay that desire? Jeongdo went to take a shower.
About two hours later.
Jeong Do and Haesik were looking around a dungeon that was up for sale.
“older brother. “It’s the same annihilation-type dungeon for grades D to E anyway, so is there a need to look at multiple places?”
“… “A good dungeon gives you a feeling.”
“also. “You are my brother.”
Since I revealed my observation to Sanghee, I will soon share it with my teammate, Haesik. With that in mind, I continued looking around the dungeon.
And again an hour later.
“Let’s do this.”
Jeongdo chose a dungeon located near Bukhansan Mountain. This was because it was the only dungeon we had looked at so far that had a hidden reward.
Tiring!
Dungeon name: Gremlin Colony.
Number of people limited: 5 people or less.
Difficulty: D
Type: Annihilation type
Monsters that appear: Gremlin (normal), mutant gremlin (boss)
Hidden Information: When you defeat a boss monster with a single blow, you can obtain ‘Intermediate Blood Poisonous Wine’.
‘Give me blood… ‘Good.’
Blood poisoning wasn’t really necessary for Jung Do, who had just acquired the <No Poison, No Sting> skill yesterday, but that wasn’t the case for the other team members. I was satisfied with the level and told Haesik.
“Let’s proceed with purchasing this dungeon and contact Seo-yoon to proceed with the expedition.”
“yes. older brother. “I will contact you right away and purchase it.”
* * * * * *
Although it was a D-class dungeon, it was not much different from an E-class dungeon. Needless to say, their qualifications were high, and Seo-yoon and Hae-sik were talented people who took second and third place at the academy. As long as there was a certain level of support, there was no way to get into trouble in a D-class dungeon.
“Sigh!”
Less than two hours after starting the expedition, Jeong-do pierced the head of the boss monster with one blow.
<The boss was defeated in one blow. Intermediate blood liquor is dropped.>
With a pleasant notification, a golf ball-sized bead rolled out of the boss monster’s corpse. Jeongdo picked up the bead and took it with him.
“I finished today safely. Good work.”
“Your brother too.”
“You had the hardest time!”
Although it was only our second team outing, we got along quite well. Haesik’s tanking ability was considerable and his field of view was wide. Seoyoon’s support was also timely.
Jeong Do felt that the team balance was better than he thought.
“Do you have any plans after the expedition? Seoyoon.”
“well. “I was thinking of spending some time in the training room today.”
“… “I don’t have any plans either.”
Hae-sik smiled and said that the two people’s words went well.
“Then, would you like to come over to my house? “I even have Mana Virtual in my training room at home.”
“… “What do you have?”
Even if the training room is like that, is it Mana Virtual?
There is only one person on Earth who can make that. Why is it in a private home? The expression on Jeongdo’s face became bizarre.
“My older brother makes a lot of money. So the house is large and has a lot of things. “When I talked to you about Seo-yoon, he said he really wanted to meet you.”
“hmm.”
As the team leader, it seemed okay to say hello to a team member’s family. The degree nodded.
“okay. Then let’s do it. “What about Seo-yoon?”
“I’ll go too.”
“Great! “Then it’s decided!”
Haesik smiled brightly and said, as if he was really happy.
The group stopped by the association and finished renewing the awakener, then headed to Haesik’s house. After a phone call from Hae-sik, a limousine soon arrived and picked up the group.
“… … .”
Jeongdo became more and more curious about Haesik’s identity.
“ruler. Im here.”
At Hae-sik’s words, Jeong-do and Seo-yoon got out of the car. What I saw in front of me was a building. Hae-sik smiled and led Do-do and Seo-yoon into the building.
As the group entered the building, a man greeted them in the lobby. The man smiled and greeted the group.
“welcome. “My name is Haesik’s older brother, Kang Hae-jun.”
“yes. Thanks for inviting me… .”
As soon as I said hello and raised my head, my mouth fell open.
The face in front of me was a very familiar face.
A face that no Korean citizen can ever recognize.
Kang Hae-jun.
He was the only SS-level user in Korea.
