Seo Woo Jin -1-
Seo Woo Jin
Tiring!
A green light flashed along with a cheerful sound.
I took a deep breath.
Instead of the damp air that had been irritating my lungs just a moment ago, a clear breeze tickled my bronchial tubes.
‘It’s not very efficient.’
It takes too long.
I remember that the last time we came as a team, it took less than 4 hours to complete one section.
Even in the game, if you send a party of 4 Angbal Kim warriors, you can beat them in 1 hour of game time.
But this time it took a whole 10 hours.
I looked at the black flames burning around me.
‘It’s because of this.’
That’s because all of the characteristics are geared towards magic defense.
[Divine Resistance][Magic Shield][Magic Heart]
[Recover Magic Power][Deep Breath][Absorb Magic Power]
My current traits.
Here, sacred resistance, magic recovery, and magic defense should have been omitted.
Instead, if you had added pollution resistance, endurance, and vitality, the speed of pollution magic absorption would have been twice as fast.
There’s a big difference between 5 hours and 10 hours.
Whether you can commute to work or sleep here, it’s a matter of whether you have to run two or four times.
‘I don’t want to sleep here.’
On the one hand, I felt sorry for the Kim warriors of the past.
I organized an expedition and ran the automatic expedition 24 hours a day without giving Kim a chance to rest.
Now that I’m in this world, I just can’t sleep in it.
There are no toilets, so the cleaners just shit and piss anywhere. The pollution and the landfilled garbage give off a strange smell. The humidity, mold, and poisonous mushrooms combine to create the worst environment. If you can sleep here, you’re almost not human.
This inner area, which has just been purified, is better than the passageway.
I checked the time and leaned against the wall.
Close your eyes and spend some time.
Still, the mine was good for making money.
Even if you clean just one area a day, you will receive 10 million won in purification fees. Since it did not come through the personnel office, there is no fee deducted. In addition, you will receive a level 0 magic core to use as a synthetic material.
‘It was a good thing I became a superhuman.’
It was a free pass after showing my super authentication.
The officials opened the door with a smile.
Because it was common sense in this world that a level 1 superhuman was better than a team of 10 normal people.
It’s hard, dirty, and dangerous work, so superhumans don’t want to do it.
‘Let’s change the characteristics a little.’
Removed sacred resistance and magic recovery, and added pollution resistance and vitality.
Then, immediately, black flames shot up and burned my skin.
It was an area with high magical power concentration, and although polluted magical power could be used to some extent thanks to pollution resistance, it was not as effective as sacred resistance and magical power recovery.
“Ugh, shit.”
It’s painful enough, even if it’s not as painful as when I was first baptized.
I groan but calmly calculate it.
At this rate······ it would take about 8 hours to purify the magic power.
This won’t do.
He shook his head once and returned the trait to its original position.
I’ve been through a lot, but I’m not a man of willpower enough to endure the scorching pain all my life.
I’d rather buy a magic tent and sleep there than be tortured for eight hours.
‘It’s so inefficient.’
It’s good to make a lot of money.
If you do two rounds a day, you are guaranteed at least 20 million won, plus extra bonuses from magic cores and other miscellaneous items.
If you work full time for a month, it’s 600 million won, and if you work 5 days a week and calculate it as 4.3 weeks, it’s 430 million won.
If you run like that for a few months, you can make some seed money······
Is there a way to make money, gain traits, and obtain artifacts and rare drugs?
If I’m going to do it, I’d rather get nectar.
Remove the fever debuff.
“Era.”
I jumped up, chasing away the distracting thoughts.
If it’s going to be like this, I should just exercise.
There are still a few traits left that can be gained through exercise.
Things like leaps and strength.
I started exercising on my own.
I jumped up for no reason, ran with all my might, threw myself against a concrete wall, then turned around and ran to the other side.
It is not easily created.
Because my body is already so strong that I don’t get tired with moderate exercise.
It’s a dramatic change from when I used to exercise at the neighborhood park.
Ring ring ring!
It was when I was exercising for a long time.

The smartphone in my pocket started making loud noises.
[Chief Player]
Why this guy again?
Are you trying to rewrite the contract?
I hesitated for a while and then picked up the phone.
If you’re going to completely cut ties with me, then I don’t know, but if you’re not going to be a madman until you die, then I want to hear what you have to say.
“hello.”
[Oh, hello. Our Kim Jeon-sa Superman! It’s been a while. By the way, congratulations. I heard you just got Superman certification!]
“Yes, that’s right. How did you know?”
[Oh, of course I know. How could I not know? You’re a super rookie who has only appeared in one year! Rumors have already spread around the industry.]
A voice that is more gentle than ever before.
The tone of voice was clearly different from when we first met, and even when I was getting settled at the office.
“So what’s going on?”
[Hahaha. I called to congratulate you and ask when you have a good time since I haven’t treated you properly yet. I know a good place······]
What kind of hospitality is this?
I don’t need any of that, so just get me some nectar.
Nectar only······
Oh, wait a minute.
There was an inspiration that flashed through my mind like an island.
First of all, nectar is an extremely hard item to obtain. You can obtain it later on in Episode 5 or 6 through the Archdemon and Dragon raids, but before that, you have to complete special quests, special events, or extremely high-probability draws to obtain it.
How about asking Director Choi to do it?
In fact, it is nearly impossible for Director Choi to ask for nectar.
But you see. This author was the one who tried to exploit me from the beginning. No matter how much he tries to act nice now, that fact won’t change.
Now their positions have been reversed.
I don’t miss Director Choi, but Director Choi will desperately need a contract with me.
Even more so since even the deer died.
“I don’t need any favors, but I have one favor to ask.”
[A request? Just tell me anything! I’ll do anything for you, whether it’s mediation or brokerage!]
“I need nectar.”
[Yes, nectar?]
“Yes. Do you know what it is?”
[Yes. I know. Isn’t it the elixir of immortality? If superhumans drink it, their level will increase rapidly. It’s a treasure that is worth calling, so do you need it?]
“yes.”
[That, that······ Superman, the nectar······]
“If it doesn’t work, then there’s nothing I can do.”
No, I can’t help it.
I can’t work with you.
Why would you work at a local human resources office instead of going to a large corporate human resources office or joining a super-large group like an army or conglomerate?
With a guy who didn’t give me a good first impression and I don’t trust him.
Director Choi’s words became hectic as if he had read my mind.
[No! No! I will somehow get it, no, I will mediate a request with nectar as a reward! That is what you want too, Superman, right? It would be nearly impossible for me to get it on my own!]
“That’s correct.”
Nectar is hard to obtain even for level 5 superhumans.
You’re just going to hand that precious thing over to a level 1 superhuman?
100% scam.
In fact, even if they said they would give it as compensation, it would be suspicious.
“If you accept my request for nectar compensation, I will renew my contract with you on appropriate terms.”
This level of compensation is necessary.
Then, Director Choi will be motivated and ask for requests.
Although the probability of failure is more than 99%.
Gulp.
I could hear someone swallowing on the other side of the smartphone.
[Are you sure? You’re not joking, are you?]
“Yes. Think about it. If you’re the office manager who can broker a nectar reward request to a level 1 superhuman, aren’t you a top-tier broker? Whether it’s small or less famous, there’s no reason I wouldn’t choose you.”
Gulp.
Director Choi swallows dry saliva again.
[Any conditions are okay?]
“At the very least, it has to be a feasible condition. It can’t be an absurd condition like dissecting me alive. Even if it’s difficult, I have to be able to do it.”
[It’s difficult, but······ I understand! If I take the request, you, Superman, will make a contract with me!]
“Depending on the conditions.”
[Yes! Yes! I will keep that in mind! Please wait just one week, just one week! Just one week!]
I didn’t expect much.
I was quietly looking for the first landfill, and I was just focusing on mining day by day to get money and traits.
It was exactly four days later that Director Choi was contacted again.
[Found it, Superman.]
The voice was very agitated.
“What is it?”
[This is a request for a nectar reward.]
“Really?”
I couldn’t believe it even though I heard it with my own ears.
Director Choi answered in a confident voice.
[Yes. It would be difficult to explain over the phone, so would you like to stop by the office? I would like to see you in person and explain.]
“Okay. Let’s go now.”
I was just about to leave work.
I stayed up all night at Landfill 1 for four days in a row from Monday to Thursday, and I felt like I was going to die.
I considered working one more day, but then I realized that civil servants don’t come to work on weekends, so I gave up.
Because I already earned a lot of money.
After paying the cleaning fee and returning the key, I took a shower and went through the quarantine procedures and then took a taxi.
When I arrived at the human resources office in Sillim-dong, it was already past lunchtime in the afternoon.
There was no one in the human resources office.
The employee I saw when I first came was sitting there, and when he saw me, he bowed politely.
“Welcome, Superman Kim. The director is waiting.”
“I don’t know if I’m too late. I have some personal business to attend to.”
“No. You may visit whenever you feel like it, late at night or early in the morning. I am sure the director will be happy to wait for you.”
“Hello, Superman!”
Originally, Chief Choi did not react at all until the staff guided him.
But I guess that wasn’t the case this time.
While my staff and I were talking, he heard the sound, opened the door wide and ran out.
Director Choi quickly grabbed my hand and shook it.
“Come in, come in! Oh my, is this the rumored Holy Fire? It’s amazing just by looking at it!”
Chief Choi is making a fuss.
Being physically intimate with the old man wasn’t a very good experience.
Let’s shake off the hand a little and Director Choi smiles cheerfully.
He took me to his office, sat me down, made me some coffee himself, poured it into a cup, and took two glowing blue sugar cubes from the desk.
“Superman, do you put candy in it too?”
candy?
Oh, this isn’t ordinary sugar.
“No, just coffee.”
“Hehehe, you are indeed a superhuman. My senses are not very developed, so I have to mix candy and oil together to drink it.”
It was quite a sight to see the oil that was taken out.
Milk sparkling pink.
It was certainly a sight to behold, with black coffee, pink milk, and blue candy dancing around each other in a clear crystal glass.
Except for the strong fragrance that rises so high that it makes your nose fall off.
Director Choi drank the three-color coffee and looked ecstatic.
“Oh, I live for this taste. It would be great if you had a drink too, Superman. I can supply you with unlimited candy and holy oil.”
“Okay.”
Are you crazy?
To become a pharmacist?
Anyway, he is a person who cannot be at ease.
“Let’s talk about work. What kind of request is it?”
When asked in a businesslike tone, Director Choi, who had been smiling, hardened his face.
Detecting the silent warning I sent.
“It’s a bit tricky, but I thought it wasn’t completely impossible, so I accepted it. Superhuman, have you ever heard of Jeilboan?”
“First security? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
The name alone sounds like a security company.
Probably not your average security company.
In this world, when the two letters ‘security’ are included, it mostly refers to private military companies.
“Then, do you know what a private and public prosecutor’s office is?”
“I heard about it.”
“The two clans are combined to form Jeilboan. The clansmen got married. They are now the representative and vice representative.”
“Really? That’s interesting.”
One checkpoint, one checkpoint.
I saw it in the game settings, but where was it?
While I was recalling my memories, Director Choi continued his explanation.
“It’s a well-known company among private military companies because it’s a combination of traditional military companies. It’s one of the top ten. You know? Five of the top five are monopolized by conglomerates.”
“Yes, I know.”
“The vice president personally requested this. Both the president and the vice president are level 6 superhumans, but they are worried because their son is over 20 years old and still not a superhuman.”
“Even though you’re over twenty? Does that mean you have no aptitude for magic?”
“That’s definitely not true. It’s just a rumor, but the magicians of the Magic Tower have confirmed that it has potential up to level 7, or maybe even level 8. The problem is that it hasn’t awakened yet.”
“Hmm, really? What exactly is your request?”
“It’s simple.”
Director Choi held out his smartphone.
A photo is displayed on the smartphone screen.
A young man so handsome that he could be mistaken for a woman.
“The request is to awaken this person, Lord Seo Woo-jin, into a level 1 superhuman. The criteria is that he must be at least level 1 in the official superhuman certification, and he must be a warrior. If successful, he will be rewarded with a bottle of nectar.”
It was a familiar face.
The pitch-black slayer.
Or the sword of the evil god.
One of the eight mid-bosses in Episode 3.
Seo Woo Jin.
The level 8 paladin, who had made countless users cry and frustrated with his difficulty level that was no less than that of a saint, was shining his bright eyes on the smartphone screen.
