Episode 202
Heaven (5)
The world was abuzz with news from China all day long.
China is the world’s largest user power along with the United States. Did someone do that? The best resource among resources is human resources.
The talent pool that emerges from that overwhelming population is something that other countries cannot dare to follow.
There are a lot of losers, but there are also a lot of jackpots. China was the country with the largest number of Class A or higher users in the world.
However, it was not unreasonable for the world to be shocked that the world’s greatest user powerhouse could not properly prevent Dungeon Break.
Because it meant that if China couldn’t stop it, other countries couldn’t either. This time, we were lucky that the break occurred in China, but our country might be next.
The theory of the end of the world has quietly emerged again and the world is in fear. When the cataclysm first occurred, I was afraid that the nightmarish world would begin again.
Users from around the world paid attention to Sichuan Province in China.
I pray that something that can overcome the future situation will be found there.
* * * * * *
“The inkling was there long ago.”
Sanghee sat down and said that. She was currently visiting the office of an SSS-level guild. All SSS level guild members, including Jeong Do, were sitting in the office.
“SS-class dungeons have recently started appearing all over the world. “Experts think that perhaps they were a prelude to this incident.”
“Hmm.”
Is that so?
According to Tinia, the monsters in the dungeon that appeared recently smell like demons. However, the current situation in China is clearly a mess… It was difficult to determine at present whether there was any connection between the two.
‘Maybe we could have had some fun as an alliance in the wireless world and kept it that way.’
What was certain was that both sides were invaders.
Considering the current situation, it seemed unlikely that they would give up their invasion, so there was a need to strike at the heart of the enemy from this side. Because I couldn’t just play defense forever.
‘To do that, we need to capture another Archangel and analyze it.’
No, even angels of a slightly lower level will see sufficient results if you feed them a lot to Ixia.
And to do that, you have to go to China. Perhaps Sanghee’s visit to the guild had nothing to do with that matter. As her degree silently looked at her, her sang-hee got to the point.
“From now on, the story is informal.”
“informality? “Does that mean that the story is being carried out by the team leader alone, not by the government?”
“no. That’s not it. “I came here following instructions from superiors.”
“hmm?”
I received government instructions, but this is an unofficial story?
Seeing a somewhat questioning look in his eyes, Sanghee shrugged his shoulders and continued speaking.
“That was the request from China, not Korea. “I want this to be done informally.”
“Of course you don’t know why, right?”
“yes. They didn’t reveal it, but maybe it’s because of pride? “You want to open your hands, but don’t want to announce it to the world?”
“Maybe so.”
With Seo Sang-hee’s story just now, it became clear why she came to the guild’s office. After she cleared her voice once, she calmly opened her mouth.
“The Chinese government unofficially requested help from Triple S. We will not spare any support, so we are asking you to help us with the situation in Sichuan Province, China. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you refuse. “You can just say that you are in the process of conquering another dungeon.”
“Does Triple S refer only to me? Or all guild members?”
“This is a request made only to one person, Mr. Jeongdo. “You are the only person in Korea who has received a request from China.”
Just one person.
They say they want to join the elite few… It was strange. Dungeon Break doesn’t have a limit on the number of players like in a dungeon, so is there a need to select a few elites?
“There are plenty of users of the right level even in China. “I think they are planning to commission a task that only top users can do.”
“okay. All right.”
After saying that, Jeongdo was lost in thought for a moment and then nodded and said.
“Then let me say yes.”
“As expected. Then refuse… yes? “Can you say that again?”
“I agree. When can I depart? “Can I go by plane?”
“No, the Chinese side has prepared a private plane for you, so you don’t have to worry about that. But are you really going?”
“yes. Isn’t that good for the government too? “I think it will be a significant plus for diplomatic relations with China.”
“Yes, it is for the government, but it doesn’t seem to have much merit for you. They will give you a huge reward, but you are not very greedy for money… Oh, do you need a heavy iron weapon?”
Middle iron.
It is a material that did not exist before a cataclysm occurred on Earth, and is a unique type of iron that is only excavated in small quantities in China. It was also another factor that made China the strongest user country along with the United States. It was an item whose export was strictly prohibited by the country, and its management was more stringent than that of drugs. It was a very famous anecdote in which all members of an organization that smuggled gram-sized saddle iron overseas were executed.
Its strength was strong, but its ability to accept mana was much better than that of other metals. Compared to the alloys mainly used in users’ weapons, the mana sensitivity was said to be about 1.5 to 2 times better, so everyone couldn’t help but drool.
Ellie McDowell’s handmade equipment made from Chinese saddle stitch.
It was like the ultimate in all equipment that even SS-level users could not easily have. Sang-hee also thought so, so she thought that Jeong-do was moving because of Joong-cheol.
“no. “I’m not really interested in saddle stitching.”
Of course, it was a story that did not apply to Jeongdo at all. Like heavy iron weapons… It was natural that even if we brought one truck, it would not be enough to be a panacea.
The level of attention was already far beyond that of the Earth. Heavy iron was just an ordinary metal compared to the metal of the gods, and Ellie MacDowell was an ordinary blacksmith compared to the dwarves.
In response, Sanghee tilted his head and asked.
“Then why on earth?”
“Isn’t the Earth in a dangerous situation? “Of course we should help.”
“Oh, as expected, brother!”
“As expected, my eyes were not wrong.”
“… … .”
The reactions of the personnel to the short answer varied widely.
Hae-sik and new guild member Ryu Se-rin looked at Jeong-do with envious eyes.
Cheolyun and Tinia said, ‘This bastard is not like this…’ ‘ with suspicious eyes.
Cheok Jun-kyung looked like he was about to burst out laughing at any moment. And Seoyoon still had an expressionless expression.

“However, the condition is that all of our guild members accompany us. Oh, even if you say all the people, you should only take people who are capable of fighting. Well, there are only 5 people including me. If you don’t accept it, I won’t go.”
To be exact, it was 4 people and 1 dog, but it was probably a good thing.
I don’t know whether China was limiting the number of people for the purpose of maintaining security or because they were concerned about the size of the pie shrinking, but they had no intention of adjusting to that.
If you’re going to go, you should go with your guild members to develop teamwork and gain a lot of experience points. I haven’t been able to pay much attention to my guild members before, but shouldn’t I still play my role as the guild leader even in times like this?
Hearing those words, Sanghee bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
“5 people. I think China will probably accept that much. “On behalf of the government, I would like to thank the Triple S Guild for their kindness.”
About 30 minutes after Sanghee left the office.
Just as she assured, a message was received from China that China had also approved the addition of four people other than Jeong-do.
Jeong Do and the Triple S guild members boarded a private plane heading to Sichuan Province.
* * * * * *
“oh. Triple S! “It’s been so long since this happened!”
“Mr. Jeongdo. hello. “It’s been a while since Seoyoon and Haesik.”
There were familiar faces at a hotel near Chengdu, Sichuan Province, where we arrived after flying for about three hours.
Arthur of England. And France’s Joan of Arc welcomed Jeongdo.
Jeongdo was slightly surprised and held Arthur’s outstretched hand.
“Did you also receive a request from China this time?”
“yes. “I think they probably sent a request to everyone in the SS class?”
“everyone?”
Arthur nodded his head in response and pointed behind him. Hae-sik reacted first before Jeong-do looked there.
“Wow, brother. This isn’t a dream, is it? “Oh my god, I never thought I’d see a lineup like this in my lifetime.”
Aside from Jeanne and Arthur, there were several other people in the hotel room. These were faces that anyone with even the slightest interest in the world of users would recognize.
Chinese martial arts.
Brazilian War Dancer.
America’s Money Man.
Indra of India.
Of the only 9 SS level users in the world, most of them were gathered here. If I had seen this scene about a year ago, it would have been as much of a fuss as a sea eclipse.
Arthur joked, shrugging his shoulders.
“I think China wants to start a world war. “With this power, wouldn’t it be enough to invade the United States?”
“It wouldn’t be the strength that the SS class wants to gather. “You’re resourceful.”
“Well, if you push the saddle iron that much, it has no choice but to move. Well, I am tied to the country, so if the country wants to criticize me, I have to criticize them. Other friends are probably already thinking about making weapons… ”
“I’m sorry to break the news, but since Triple S is here too, I’d like to continue the conversation. “It’s urgent here.”
A third person interrupted the conversation between Jeong Do and Arthur.
He was an Asian man in his 40s, neatly dressed in a suit. The man, who introduced himself as Deng Qin, was the person with full authority over the incident and began briefing on the current situation.
“First of all, I would like to thank those who responded to our request. Since it is an urgent situation, I will brief you without any hesitation… ”
“for a moment. “Before that, I want to make one thing clear.”
“… What is. Money Man.”
The person who cut off the horse was a white man with blond hair.
Money Man, an American SS-level user. He is twenty years old.
Famous as the youngest user in the SS class, he was famous for being a user who only worked for money. Even if his country is in a dangerous situation, he will not hesitate to solve the request first if he asks for more money from somewhere else. Although he was the youngest, in a sense he was a more professional user than anyone else.
Deng Qin frowned for a moment, perhaps displeased by his interruption, but then straightened his expression and looked at him. Money Man continued with a grin.
“As you know, there’s never been a time when people of SS rank or higher gathered together like this? I was wondering how the team leader would be decided. “I think that’s the most important thing.”
“… “I don’t think it will be too late to decide that after the briefing.”
“Oh, no, no. If I don’t understand the way the captains are chosen, I’ll just go back. Then, even if you listen to the briefing, you are just wasting time without meaning. For example, since this is China, we have to listen to the orders of the God of War. “It would be troublesome if it came out like this.”
“ha. I plan to select the team leader based entirely on ability. A person with a high level can do it.”
“I don’t understand that either. “They say it’s SSS level, but this girl isn’t cool at all?”
“… … .”
Money Man said and looked at the black-haired woman. She was a beautiful woman with a very impressive blue dragon and moon sword on her back.
Musin.
A person who was the only SS-level user in China and recently became an SSS-level user.
She looked angry for a moment, but then turned her head to see if there was something bothering her. Money Man chuckled at that action and this time looked at Jeongdo.
“After seeing the truth about the SSS level, I am suspicious of this too. “Did they also bribe the World Association?”
“well. “I don’t really remember anything like that.”
Jeongdo laughed off Money Man’s provocation. The Money Man’s eyes widened for a moment, perhaps because the reaction was unexpected, but then he looked around and said,
“I agree that selection should be based on merit. And I think I’m the strongest out of all of them.”
“… … .”
“Oh my, I thought you were only crazy about money. “You’re really crazy.”
“It doesn’t really matter to me. “I just want to save those who are suffering.”
Other SS ranks reacted to Money Man’s provocative words. Arthur and Jeanne looked at them once in a while, as if they were dumbfounded, and then looked at them. Jeongdo chuckled again at the look in his eyes that asked him what he was doing if he didn’t come forward.
‘It feels strange, like I’m watching a fun party.’
When the SS ranks, excluding Jeong Do, Jeanne, and Arthur, began to raise their voices, an alarm suddenly sounded.
Yiy!!
Then the door burst open and a man in a suit came in panting.
“They showed up again!”
“Damn, how many this time?”
“It’s just one. Instead, it is a much more powerful entity than the last time. “Other users are doing their best to block it, but it’s not enough!”
“Damn, I got it.”
After saying that, Deng Qin stood up. And he glared at the Money Man and said:
“It went as you wanted. “We can find out now who is stronger.”
“Don’t stare at me like that. “If anyone sees it, they’ll think I called a monster.”
Money Man grumbled but packed his equipment. And it was the same for other users. The personnel inside the hotel quickly moved to where the break occurred.
Not far from the hotel, an angel was being attacked by several users, but the angel was avoiding the attacks, smiling as if he was enjoying the situation.
Jeong Do used the Void Rok towards that angel.
Tiring.
Name: Chief Angel – Juriel
Level: 138
Level 138.
It was a low-level black angel that was stronger than diamond. This is a level that any SS-level user before the Second Cataclysm could never beat.
“Just the right amount!”
However, Money Man rushed at the main angel without any hesitation. I was a little worried, but in the end, my worries were in vain.
“Aaaah!”
After about 20 minutes, Angel Zhou fell into the hands of Money Man. Money Man also suffered minor injuries, but none of them were fatal, so he could be said to have won by a landslide. Even to that extent, it was a quite unexpected result.
And it seemed like other users were also surprised and started praising Money Man’s skills.
Money Man seemed to be very pleased with such praise and shouted with a smile.
“how is it? This is enough to make him worthy of being a captain… ”
It was then.
Ugh.
Suddenly, a black hole appeared in the air, and a total of thirty angels appeared from the hole. Money Man’s complexion turned gaunt. No, not only that, but the complexions of all the people except Jeong-do and Cheok Jun-gyeong turned pale.
“crazy! “This is too much!”
“shit. Contact the military! “Worst case scenario, tell them to just fire!”
People panicked. It was only natural that a total of 30 monsters appeared that the SS-level user could only defeat after taking 20 minutes.
Jeong-do slowly walked towards them as they were wondering whether to fight or retreat. Money Man was embarrassed and prevented that much.
“Hey, are you crazy? Rushing in without any strategy is the death of a dog! Here, other users must take the time and the SS class must make a surprise attack… ”
‘Well, he’s not a really bad guy. ‘Is it because I’m young?’
Money Man’s voice was filled with sincerity. After giving Money Man a quick smile, he walked back to the angels.
“no! “I’m going to die!”
Money Man grabbed Jeong-do’s shoulder with all his might to hold him back.
Sreuk.
“uh? uh?”
The Money Man’s hands became very weak. He was embarrassed and just stared blankly at Do-do, who slowly walked forward.
And the result wasn’t just embarrassing. Money Man’s eyes widened as if torn apart.
Jeong Do raised his sword above his head and lowered it straight down.
Dangong Cham.
The greatest season that even heaven and earth cannot handle.
An attack that could be considered a special move was unleashed on the angel.
Although it was a very simple movement on the surface, the results it brought about were absolutely unpredictable.
dump. dump. dump.
The 30 angels were unable to resist and began to fall from the air. Their bodies were so neatly cut that they could no longer be neat.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The jaws of everyone except Cheok Jun-gyeong were wide open at the blow. Cheok Jun-kyung quietly said, ‘That guy is acting pretentious again. I muttered briefly, ‘I’m wasting my energy too much,’ but fortunately, no one heard me.
He approached the money man, who was very stiff, and said with a smile.
“Do you want to be captain? “I don’t care.”
“… No way. “You have to do it.”
To a certain degree, without even realizing it, he had become the older brother of an SS-level user.
