Episode 50
Earth Korea Management Team.
All the employees, including Team Leader Oh Jin-soo, were watching the screen with astonished faces.
“No… …what is that?”
“You ate two skill books? And that skill book… … ?”
The color of the skill book was surprisingly black.
A black skill book that rarely appears in New World.
There is only one and it is black.
There was not just one, but two black skill books.
“Hey, what skill is that?”
“Brainwashing and blackfield… … .”
Brainwashing, blackfield.
As expected, this is a skill name I’m hearing for the first time.
“What’s the rating?!”
“It’s C.”
A rare skill.
The only skill is rare.
Although it’s a bit out of date, the skill can be upgraded, so if you upgrade it to epic or unique level in the future, it will be quite powerful.
The value of the one and only skill book is beyond imagination.
A year ago, a black skill book was sold for 3.1 billion won, but since the transaction was anonymous, all we know is that the buyer was French.
3.1 billion for just one skill book.
“… … You really amaze me every time.”
Team leader Oh Jin-soo muttered quietly.
It was also amazing how everywhere I went I hit the jackpot.
“Team Leader, that user will now go for a second job advancement?”
“I see… … Wait a minute. Second job advancement?”
The second job advancement is called the biggest big event in the Chobojon village after the Taecho village.
The criteria for advancing to a rare to epic class in this second job advancement event are quite generous, so many users have stayed for quite some time and completed their job advancement.
There was a wide range of users who lasted from as little as a week to as long as two years before moving on, and more than 70% of them failed to achieve a rare-level job change and moved on.
And there is an event planned for this second job advancement.
‘So you’re the event target… … .’
That monstrous user hasn’t done his second job advancement yet.
That is, it means the target of the event.
Oh Jin-soo was so shocked that he laughed out loud.
How can the puzzle be solved only for that user?
“How will the event proceed?”
Details of the event have not yet been revealed.
Since the Earth Headquarters announced in advance that it would be released on the day of the event, it is impossible to find it even if you want to.
“Well, the important thing is that that user will participate in this event as well.”
The corners of Oh Jin-soo’s mouth slightly went up.
That’s why I was looking forward to it even more.
What kind of results will surprise them this time?
Many more will become aware of the existence of that monster.
I was already very curious about the reaction at that time.

A festival was held in Idenhark.
Everyone, including the lord, was happy because the long-awaited wish had been fulfilled.
Jeonghoon also couldn’t leave Yeongju Castle and had to stay there for a day or two.
‘I can’t send my benefactor away like this! Please allow me to repay the favor!’
It was difficult to refuse the earnest request from the lord, Juan, who came to see me in person.
Anyway, there was plenty of time until the second job advancement event.
So, I gave my permission to settle the compensation and take a break.
===
[Edenhark’s Benefactor]
-Type: Title
-Rank: Normal
– Stamina increases by 0.5%.
-Magic power increases by 0.5%.
===
It was a title I finally earned by closing the portal, but it was a normal rank.
Even the option of Trash of Trash only increases Stamina and Magic Power by 0.5%.
But this title had its own true value.
It is the material for the evolution title.
Jeonghoon currently has the evolved title of Guardian of Taecho Village.
This is the material that evolves that title.
Evolution is simpler than you think.
Combining titles into one.
[Would you like to combine the title ‘Guardian of the First Village’ with the title ‘Benefactor of Idenhark’?]

When I put two titles in the same spot in my inventory, a message popped up.
When Jeonghoon pressed accept, the title ‘Benefactor of Idenharc’ shone for a moment and then disappeared.
[You have successfully raised your title. 3,000 achievement points have been awarded.]
As you achieve the achievement, the Guardian of the First Village title grows to Epic.
At the same time, the word ‘Taecho’ disappeared.
===
[Guardian of the Village]
-Type: Evolution Title
-Rating: Epic
– Stamina increases by 5%.
-Magic power increases by 5%.
-All attack power increases by 5%.
-Experience gained increases by 3%.
===
Okay.
All the numbers went up beyond recognition.
All values that were 2% have been increased to 5%, and experience points have been increased from 1% to 3%.
I was quite satisfied even though no additional options were added.
‘Even if you just raise it to Unique, it will be a pretty powerful title.’
Next is the leap.
The types of leaps varied from level to strength and agility.
‘It’s a bit disappointing that there’s no magic or divine power.’
Unfortunately, these were leaps that were the exact opposite of the leaps that Richel had developed.
‘But it’s a shame that I can’t raise the remaining abilities later.’
If you think about it, these leaps are also valuable items whose value cannot be converted into money.
Jeonghoon took all the elixir without leaving any behind.

Same time.
A new notice has been posted on the New World homepage.
===
[New World’s hidden dungeon has been cleared!]
-Hello! This is the New World development team.
First of all, I’m posting this announcement to share some celebratory news!
The hidden dungeon of Idenhark Village, which was carefully hidden in the New World, has finally been cleared by users!
Hidden dungeons are a device created to help users grow, and they are set to automatically disappear when the first person to discover them clears them, in the order they were discovered.
The users who cleared it are as follows:
[Republic of Korea – 000]
The server is public, and your nickname will not be disclosed.
Now, to all users who enjoy New World!
New World has hidden many things related to growth besides this!
Well, New World users, I hope you have a great day today.
-All New World developers

Hidden dungeons are far more numerous than hidden themes.
But why would hidden be hidden?
Even though there are a lot of them, you still have to meet some pretty extreme conditions to clear the hidden dungeon.
That’s why, when a hidden dungeon is cleared, a notice is posted just like with a hidden theme.
Naturally, there was an uproar among users.
Even if the hidden dungeon is cleared, the place it was discovered is Idenhark.
[Hey! Did you see the notice? A hidden dungeon has been discovered in Idenhark!]
-This is crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wasn’t this the rottenest place among the Edenharc super-preservation zones?
└No, what is that?
└What did I just see… … ?
└A hidden dungeon appeared in Idenhark?
└I really need to reevaluate Edenhark;;
└Wow, this is so ridiculous. After the Red Dragon Bone Bow, this time it’s a hidden dungeon?
└Edenhark was a honey. Those bastards that Aihen called Jeongbae, come out now. I’ll give them a slap.
[But it seems like a beginner wouldn’t have cleared the hidden dungeon]
-There are conditions required for each level to clear, and they are pretty much like X.
└Isn’t it Lee Hwa? I heard you were desperate to find the Red Dragon Bone Bow.
└Really ㅋㅋ Isn’t Lee Hwa still in Edenhark?
└Ah, I see. Even if the conditions were X, I think it would have been cleared with Lee Hwa-rang. ㅋㅋㅋ
“This is f*cking crazy!”
Lee Hwa-rang threw down the smartphone she was holding.
I returned to the guild and checked Welcome dozens of times a day, hoping that the whereabouts of the Red Dragon Bone Bow might be revealed.
Although he still had no income, he still could not give up the Red Dragon Bone Bow.
But what?
I’m already so pissed off, and I’m the one who cleared the hidden dungeon?
It’s not like I’m pouring oil on a fire, so where are you trying to get water from now?
It’s so dirty I can’t read it anymore.
“Hey, calm down.”
Park Jin-hyeok calmed him down as if he was used to it.
“Ha… …f*ck, why does it really feel like nothing is working?”
Park Jin-hyeok shook his head at the sight of Lee Hwa-rang scratching her head and becoming irritated.
“Okay, calm down. You know you’ve been really sensitive lately, right?”
“You don’t look sensitive? I’m already annoyed, and you want me to watch those crazy kids ride the wave?”
“So stop looking at Welcome and drink this.”
What Park Jin-hyeok handed me was an Americano filled with ice.
I went to a cafe and got some takeout for my friend who doesn’t go out at all these days and just stays in his room and looks at Welcome.
“Okay. You drink a lot.”
Lee Hwa-rang, who usually enjoys drinking iced Americano, is refusing to drink it?
Park Jin-hyeok’s face changed seriously.
“You’re really angry.”
“… … This guy is really a jerk?”
* * *
“Say no.”
“what.”
Hajin came out of nowhere and asked with a serious face.
Jeong-Hoon, who was resting outside the capsule, tilted his head.
“Hidden dungeon, say no.”
“Oh, that’s what you were asking? What did I say?”
Jeonghoon let out a snicker.
Hajin responded with a hollow laugh, as if he was amazed by her relaxed attitude.
“You guys. Shit, it was you.”
“Why do you think it’s me? That’s a hidden dungeon. I heard the conditions for clearing it are extremely harsh.”
The Idenharc Hidden Dungeon was a discovery, but the entrance itself was locked.
This is because there is no way to receive the quest itself unless you possess both magic and divine power.
“Then it wasn’t you?”
“That’s not true, though.”
“Wow! I knew it!”
“So that’s why you came all the way here to ask?”
The place I am now is a jjimjilbang.
We went on a date to the jjimjilbang to coincide with my mother’s holiday.
And Hajin followed me all the way to the sauna after hearing the news about the hidden dungeon.
He was truly a great man.
At that moment, Mother went into the kiln to take a steam bath, so Jeong-Hoon and Ha-Jin were left alone.
“That too, this older brother has some important news to tell you.”
“Important news?”
“Okay. What level are you now?”
“101.”
“Yeah… … What?!”
Hajin stood up with a surprised face and shouted.
Thanks to this, the eyes of the customers resting in the sauna were focused on the two.
“sorry…….”
Hajin quickly apologized and sat down.
The embarrassment was Jeong-Hoon’s lot.
“Why are you yelling and making a fuss?”
“How could you not scream… … More importantly, how did you get 101?”
I heard that he discovered a coincidence and passed the age of 90.
But I couldn’t believe that I got 101 in such a short period of time.
Leveling in New World is difficult from the start.
However, most people can get through the second job advancement smoothly if they have patience.
However, once you pass level 80, leveling becomes extremely difficult.
The difference between the amount of experience needed to level up from 70 to 80 and the amount of experience needed to level up from 80 to 90 is a whopping 3 times.
And the amount of experience needed to go from 90 to 100 is five times the amount needed to go from 80 to 90.
As the units of tens change like this, the amount of experience required is beyond imagination.
Even for Hajin, who spends most of his time in New World, level 200 is still a long way off.
That is, rankers who have reached levels 300 to 400 or higher are, to put it nicely, monsters, and to put it badly, crazy losers.
“I cleared the hidden dungeon and received an extra elixir as a reward.”
“Ah, that was a leap.”
Hajin quickly understood what he meant by leap.
But I couldn’t help but feel envious.
Since leveling is so brutal, the cost of concentrated experience potions is astronomically expensive.
It honestly felt a little unfair that all the luck went to Jeong-Hoon since he got such leaps in a row.
The difference between him and Jeong-Hoon, who entered the league two years later, is only 58 points.
“Anyway, what’s the important news? The second job advancement event?”
“What, you already knew that?”
“Yeah. I’ve already prepared everything.”
Jeonghoon chuckled.
On the other hand, Hajin tilted his head with a look of incomprehension.
“How can you prepare for the event when the details haven’t even been made public?”
“Just by feeling.”
“okay……?”
Hajin couldn’t help but laugh at the absurd words.
Whenever Jeong-Hoon spoke so confidently, the results always went the way he wanted.
