Episode 17
In front of Choi Hyun-seok were goggles(?) with a fairly familiar design.
A form that covers one ear and has a green lens attached.
“It’s a combat power meter that I bought for 50 points at the warrior shop.”
“yes…?”
Rachel looked completely clueless.
Choi Hyun-seok began to explain with a kind face.
“Didn’t you watch cartoons when you were little? See those green lenses? When you look at an opponent with these, you can see their fighting power.” “I know what kind of goggles that Saiyan would use!” “Then what’s the problem?” “What I’m trying to say is, is it worth spending 50 hero points on that?”
“Of course.”
Choi Hyun-seok continued speaking with a smile.
“With this, I will check the overall fighting power of the Demon King’s soldiers. I will also check out Kurken, my duel opponent.” “And then?”
“I asked the cooks to spar with me.”
“Is this a duel?”
“Uh. Roughly speaking, we’ll just pick a cook with similar combat power to Kurken and fight. Wouldn’t that be incredibly helpful in actual combat?” “Hmm… That makes sense.”
Currently, all the cooks, including Chef Kulkan, are completely captives of the seasoning.
If you ask me to do something like that, I will grant it without hesitation.
“Besides, this meter can be used on demons too. It will definitely be of great help in future hunting.” “Do you need a combat power meter for hunting?” “Of course. Of course you need it.”
Rachel tilted her head at Choi Hyun-seok’s answer.
“That’s strange… Anyway, the warrior hides and just cowardly strikes. Is it really necessary?” “If possible, instead of using the word ‘cowardly,’ you could use a better word like ‘clever.’” “Let’s skip over the trivial stuff.”
“Haa… Okay.”
Choi Hyun-seok sighed and continued speaking.
“Anyway, you’re not wrong. It wasn’t really necessary. But things have changed.”
“What is the situation?”
“I guess it’s because my level has risen quite a bit, but these days, I don’t feel like I’m gaining much experience just by hitting the last hit.”
At first, the level would go up just by landing the final blow.
However, now that I’ve reached level 100, it’s not easy to level up that way.
“It’s going to get harder from now on. So, we’ll use the combat power meter to pick out easy targets and then gain some real combat experience.” “Oh… That’s a good idea.”
Rachel nodded, holding her chin.
“Okay. Then let’s get started.”
Choi Hyun-seok picked up the measuring device.
□ Description of the crude combat power meter: The combat power meter measures the target’s strength, stamina, agility, and magic power.
Ability: You can find out the ‘rough’ combat power of the target of measurement.
The item description isn’t all that reliable, but it’s okay.
“As long as it works properly and doesn’t break down.”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Rachel while wearing a combat power meter.
Then, the combat power that had been at 0 began to gradually increase.
“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Beep!
The measurement was over in no time.
[ Combat Power: 375 ]
When I saw the numbers on the lens, a question suddenly occurred to me.
How strong is a combat power of 375?
“Your combat power is 375, but I don’t know how strong that is.” “Well? Maybe we can find out if we measure you, warrior?” “Then let’s have you watch me this time.” “How do I use this?”
Rachel picked up the combat power meter, groaning.
Rachel was so small, only about 30cm tall, that she couldn’t use a measuring device that was as big as her body.
“This will do.”
Choi Hyun-seok picked up the combat power meter and placed it on the table.
“Put your face here. Wouldn’t that work?”
“Oh, I see.”
Choi Hyun-seok snickered as he watched Rachel looking quite excited.
It was really cute to see him put his face up to a lens bigger than his head and look at it with wonder.
“Is it being measured?”
“Yes! The numbers are rising!”
The fighting power that had been rising continuously finally stopped.
Beep!
“How much did it cost?”
Rachel looked uncomfortable at Choi Hyun-seok’s question.
“Ugh… I think this is broken…”
“why?”
“Sir, your combat power is 1560. That’s too high!”
[ Combat Power: 1560 ]
Rachel made a sharp expression as she saw a fighting power nearly five times higher than her own.
“Rahel.”
Choi Hyun-seok approached and placed a finger on Rachel’s shoulder.
“Aren’t you too weak?”
“Uuuu…”
“Train harder. You’ll be ten thousand years too early to catch up with me in terms of your fighting prowess!”
Rachel made an indignant expression at Choi Hyun-seok’s prank.
“Nonsense! This thing is broken! No, if I was in my original state, I would have probably gotten over ten thousand!? It’s because I’m a dedicated fairy now!” “Okay, okay. I get it, but how about we start with a thousand and then talk about ten thousand?”

“Ugh…! This is annoying!”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Choi Hyun-seok laughed out loud with satisfaction as he watched Rachel disintegrate.
“This is fun. Should we take a look at Bobo this time?” “Hmm… Whether you take a look or not…”
Rachel turned her head sharply.
But she secretly kept her eyes wide open and watched, as if she was also curious about Bobo’s fighting prowess.
“Bobo, stay still.”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Bobo while wearing a combat power meter.
“Kwaaaaang…”
Bobo, who had been yawning after dinner, glanced at Choi Hyun-seok and closed his eyes again.
It seemed like he was sleepy.
“Oh! It’s going up.”
The combat power value written on the lens quickly increased.
Choi Hyun-seok watched the situation with eyes filled with anticipation.
“Hmm…?”
Suddenly, Choi Hyun-seok furrowed his brows.
The combat power stat was strange.
“Why is it like this?”
“Why? What’s going on?” “Even though the combat power is over ten thousand?”
“yes…?”
“But it keeps going up.”
The combat power that had surpassed ten thousand began to increase even more rapidly.
“Uh huh…?”
Beep!
Finally, the combat power level that had been soaring sky-high has stopped.
“What is it? How much did it cost?” Rachel approached with a curious look on her face and asked the results.
“buy…”
“buy?”
“Forty-seven thousand four hundred and twenty-two…”
[ Combat Power: 47422 ]
No matter how many times you watch it, the result is the same.
A figure that exceeds 40 thousand.
Rachel laughed when she heard the result.
“Phew! You said my stats were low and all, but you weren’t doing anything special either, Hero!” “No, it seems like it’s broken, just like you said.”
Choi Hyun-seok said with a serious face.
But that method wouldn’t work on Rachel.
“Hey~ There’s no way the equipment you just bought would break down. It’s just that you’re incredibly weak. Accept the reality.”
“…”
Choi Hyun-seok approached Bobo without saying a word.
Then he began to carefully stroke my head.
“Bobo. Is there anything you want to eat?”
Either way, Bobo still looks sleepy.
“Let’s stay close from now on.”
“Kwawang…”
“Oh my! What a cute kid!”
Bobo yawns and closes his eyes.
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes looking at that sight were infinitely warm.
***
The next day.
Choi Hyun-seok left Bobo’s house before the sun rose.
“You’re leaving really early today?” “Oh. I’ll take a look around on the way.”
Choi Hyun-seok was currently wearing a scar… no, a combat power meter.
On the way to the kitchen, I wanted to check the fighting power of the other Demon King’s forces.
‘Hmm… So this is the Demon King’s Army after all.’
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the fighting power of each soldier passing by, and found that the average fighting power was higher than expected.
[ Combat Power: 960 ]
[ Combat Power: 1620 ]
[ Combat Power: 1350 ]
[ Combat power: 1100 ]
‘Well, these guys are born monsters… I guess we can say that they are finally on the same level.’
Choi Hyun-seok is an ordinary person.
In contrast, the Demon King’s army here is made up of monsters called ‘Demons’.
Choi Hyun-seok realized that fact once again and became alert.
‘The easiest ones are goblins.’
Sometimes, I would see some guys with particularly weak fighting prowess, and they were all goblins.
[ Combat Power: 231 ]
Because of their small stature, most goblins’ fighting power did not exceed 300.
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok opened his mouth without realizing it.
“Whoa… what is that?”
This is because the fighting power of one Demon King’s army was particularly high.
[ Combat Power: 14300 ]
A figure that exceeds 10,000.
It was an overwhelmingly overwhelming number compared to the surrounding soldiers.
‘Why is it so high? Is it really broken?’
Choi Hyun-seok’s doubts were quickly resolved.
“Captain Volkmann. Where are you going today?”
“Today’s work is….”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded while listening to the conversation.
‘You were a company commander.’
When you reach the level of officer or commander, it seems like you are on a different level from regular soldiers.
‘They say that if you have good bloodlines, your strength is on a whole other level… The world really is a dirty place.’
There are some things I’ve heard while serving in the Demon King’s Army.
One of them is bloodline.
It is said that bloodline is more important to demons than to humans.
It can be said that the limits of one’s strength are set almost from birth.
This could be easily seen just by looking at the fact that Bobo’s fighting power, which had not yet reached adulthood, exceeded 40,000.
“Sir. What are you doing?”
“huh?”
“We should quickly go and take a look at that pig head called Kurken.”
“Oh, that’s right!”
The main goal today was to examine my duel opponent, the orc Kurken.
Choi Hyun-seok remembered what Rachel said and immediately started walking.
“How strong is that pig?” “Well… Kurken is definitely a platoon leader, so shouldn’t he be about the same as the others?”
According to what I found out today, the platoon leader’s combat power was around 2000~3000.
So I expected that my duel opponent, Kurken, would be similar to him.
“Probably in the mid 3000s at most?”
But, expectations always go wrong.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was still unaware of that fact, took light steps.
***
“I think it was around here.”
After a while, Choi Hyun-seok arrived near the barracks where Kurken was.
I remembered it because I had been to Hemis before.
Kwah! Kwah!
“What is this?”
“Let’s go.”
A noise was heard nearby.
As I followed the source, I happened to see my duel opponent, Kurken, training.
“What is that…?”
“That’s right…”
Even from a distance, Kurken’s twitching muscles were unusual.
The muscular pig Kurken was holding a thick iron club and repeatedly striking it against the rock.
Kwah! Kwah! Kwah!
Every time the iron club falls, a large rock breaks with a loud noise.
Even though there was quite a distance, fragments of the broken rock flew all the way to Choi Hyeon-seok’s feet.
“Sir… how much fighting power does that pig have?”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was looking at the fighting power reflected on the lens, closed his eyes.
[ Combat Power: 6671 ]
“Why aren’t you saying anything? How much fighting power does that guy have?”
“Six thousand six hundred…”
“Six thousand six hundred?!”
Rachel was terrified when she heard of Kurken’s fighting power.
“Huh? Did I see something wrong? Or is my eye swollen or something!?” “No. It’s the same even if I look at it again… This is really f*cked up.”
When he first came here, Choi Hyun-seok was a very ordinary person.
I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think the combat power was even 500.
But you’re asking me to defeat such a monster in just one month?
“He just told me to die.”
Could it be that Hemis had no intention of keeping himself alive in the first place?
All kinds of thoughts crossed my mind.
“Hero. What should we do now…?”
Rachel asked with an anxious expression.
Now there is only two weeks left.
It didn’t seem like Choi Hyun-seok would be able to defeat such a monster.
“Whew… No, it’s still too early to give up. I have to try everything I can.”
I absolutely have no intention of dying like this.
Either poison or assassinate.
Somehow he will kill Kurken and survive.
★☆★☆ Warrior Quest! ★☆★☆
Oh man! Your chances of beating that muscle pig seem close to zero!
But I was deeply impressed by your persistence in even the most desperate of situations!
So I want to give you a chance!
Reach 3000 combat power within the next week!
· Goal: Achieve 3000 combat power within a week · Reward: 300 warrior points
The warrior quest was triggered at the right time.
“A warrior quest has appeared.”
“yes?”
“A warrior quest has appeared. Reach 3000 combat power within ten days.”
Rachel frowned at the mention of 3000 combat power.
The number raised over 3 weeks is 1500.
But you want me to make 3000 in the remaining week.
“Anyone can tell that it’s impossible!” “You’ll have to try it to find out.”
Choi Hyun-seok bit his teeth.
“It’s either do or die anyway.”
Warrior Choi Hyeon-seok.
Giving up was not in his dictionary.
