Power Up (4)
<A special reward will be given.>
<New items will be added to Winry’s point shop. Special product has arrived.>
<In the future, you will be able to repurchase using the store at any time.>
“Oh, are these rewards linked to the store now?”
I felt good because I felt like I had my own cheat key that I could use anytime, anywhere. Jeong-do immediately tried to use the store voucher, but stopped.
Another notification window that I saw earlier caught my eye.
<You have acquired the skill <Short Attack>.>
“… … ”
I wanted to try it right away. And I didn’t hesitate.
Jeongdo changed the form of the King of All Diseases into a sword and lifted it above his head.
I drew it down.
A notification window appeared in front of me.
<Skill <Single Attack> cannot be used.>
<The user’s level and rank are extremely low compared to the skill level.>
“Write. “It doesn’t work either.”
I expected it, but it was bittersweet when it actually didn’t work out.
<By the way, Confucius. Can we not pay attention to the dwarfs over there?>
“Oh right.”
The roulette reward came with a result I had never guessed, so I forgot about it. Jeongdo quickly looked towards the dwarf.
“… Wow.”
It was ridiculous.
The dwarves looked like a mercenary group after a fierce battle. The dwarves were lying on the floor covered in dust, breathing heavily.
It was truly a beggar among beggars, but the dwarves had no time to worry about such things.
I was just grateful for the fact that I could lie down like this and absorb oxygen.
Yes. The dwarves eventually received a certain amount of <single attack>. I approached them who were all lying around.
“It was a little worse than I thought… “But you still managed to stop it.”
The dwarves reacted violently as he smiled awkwardly, half apologetic and half exhilarated.
“you you! This bastard… Huh, huh. Damn, I’m out of breath… omg… I can’t even get angry… ”
“omg… omg. What are you doing at this age? why.”
“This bread~ My shield… ”
At Mikhail’s last words, Jeongdo looked at the shield that had fallen to the ground. The shield wasn’t broken in two, but it was almost there and was shaking. Of course, it had to be seen that the shield function had now been lost.
‘I’m a bit sorry about that.’
Considering its majesty in blocking short-range attacks, it would not have been an ordinary treasure, but it was smashed… But Jeong-do soon realized that there was no need for that.
Mikhail and Tenku, who had caught their breath, were sitting across from each other and muttering with serious expressions.
“Hmm. Got some good data. I thought it was an invincible shield, but there was still room for improvement.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever meet another person who will use ‘conceptual joints’ in my future life, but my pride won’t allow me to just ignore it. What we create must always be the best. Hey, degree! “I’ll ask you again later when the new shield is completed!”
The two of them didn’t care at all that their shields were broken, but rather had a burning desire to win. They were truly examples of craftsmanship.
“But what is that ‘conceptual joint’?”
I feel like it’s definitely a word referring to <Dangong Cham>… Jeongdo tilted his head at the unfamiliar word. After hearing those words, Jis, who was still lying on the ground and out of breath, raised his upper body.
“Huh. I thought I was going to see a real goddess! Calm too! What kind of person did you bring in to use ‘Conceptual Joints’? “It’s a level that even the gods find difficult!”
“is it so? “He was just a general who was famous for being good at fighting.”
“Crazy, does your world have some kind of transcendental species?”
“It can’t be. “He is just an ordinary human being.”
… In fact, he is not ordinary, but he is still human.
Honestly, looking at his accumulated achievements, it’s a bit difficult to dismiss him as a human… Maybe he really was born with a mysterious lineage. Considering that they caught an Imoogi just a moment ago, it seems that such a mysterious race also existed in the past. The person he loaded in the first place was Cheok Jun-kyung from the ‘real universe’, so there was a good possibility of that happening.
Jis’s expression became very bizarre at that level of answer.
“It makes no sense that humans have reached such a level… No, it’s okay. “I actually felt it, so what can I do if I think about it?”
“So what exactly is this ‘conceptual joint’?”
“Before I explain, let’s change seats first.”
JIS snaps his fingers! When I flicked it loudly, the scenery changed in an instant. It was a hangout for dwarves. Jis got up from his seat and headed to the kitchen. There he brought two beers and set them down in front of the table. There were only Jeong Do and Jis in the hideout.
“Huh, what about the others?”
“It looks like he was stuck in a workshop. “It’s all thanks to you.”
“Me? “All I did was throw a skill blow?”
“Because that skill was unusual. It’s not easy for stagnant water like us to get inspiration. “Unless you have a truly shocking experience.”
“aha… ”
In other words, the dwarves who had experienced that shocking experience a little while ago and were inspired by it could not resist their desire to invent and went into the workshop.
“It seems like such an amazing technology. It’s definitely deceptive. “I wish I could use it soon.”
“what? “Is that the skill you received as a road reward?”
“yes. “I got it this time.”
“… This is absurd. “It’s a kind of state rather than a skill, but you get that as a reward?”
Jis seemed to have no power to be more surprised, so he just blinked his eyes wide. Then he picked up his glass of beer and took a gulp.
“Wow. You asked about conceptual joints, right? To put it simply, it refers to the power that can go against the laws, concepts, and systems of the universe.”
“… I feel like it’s amazing. “Still, it’s a bit of a vague explanation.”
“Cl. Then let me give you an easy example. The technology you used can even split space. “You know that, right?”
“yes. “I saw it when I first wrote it.”

The sight of the Musinma’s dungeon being torn apart is probably something I will never forget for the rest of my life. Jis nodded.
“okay. Like that, dividing space with a sword is a nonsensical concept. Jumping over space is only possible through a contract with mana and the universe. To give another example… “Yeah, about the one you’re wearing right now.”
Jis’s finger was pointing to the King of All Diseases, which was stuck in Jeongdo’s arm. He tapped the king of all diseases as if asking if this was the right level, and Jisu nodded his head once again.
“When you first came to the dungeon, you cleared the trial and we made it for you. Among the options, there was something called ‘never destroyed’, right?”
“yes. It was like that. “It is very useful and I am putting it to good use.”
“But even that object is broken by the ‘conceptual joint’ technique. Do you feel it now? “That’s what conceptual joints are all about.”
“… okay.”
Swing a sword to cut through space, or break something that can never be broken.
‘Conceptual jointing’ refers to a state where the universe’s system can be broken, even if only momentarily.
It was only after listening to Jis’ explanation that Do-do realized that <Dangong Cham> was truly an absurd technique. I sighed at the same time.
“It’s a shame. “Even if I tried to use it now, I couldn’t.”
“… Do you have no conscience? That’s natural! As I said before, it is a kind of state rather than a skill. In the end, there is no other way than for you to reach a certain level. Know that you are blessed. No matter how much other guys level up, they can’t even get a clue, which is a ‘lack of concept’. Hey!”
On the other hand, as you increase your level and rank, skills are naturally unlocked. How unreasonable this is. Those who could not even find a clue even after practicing for thousands of years would have tried to catch and kill him if they had heard such words.
I took a sip of my beer and started talking as I saw Jis’s sharp gaze.
“hmm. Anyway, did you pass this ordeal safely?”
“Are you saying that? Passing the ordeal was already a pass even before using the Nega Rod. In any case, the only thing that would win me was recognition, not the content of the test. If there’s anything you want, tell me. “I’ll make anything.”
“thank you. Oh, before that, can I ask you something?”
“Unless you get geass.”
“Do you know anything about a place called wireless?”
“… “How do you know about that place?”
Jis’s expression became bizarre once again.
He was truly an amazing human being.
The mysteries of the universe that other beings would not know even after a thousand years came out of that human’s mouth without any hesitation.
‘Perhaps our secret wish… ‘
The person in front of you may offer a solution.
I had that thought for a moment, but I quickly erased it. What would you expect from a lump of blood that hasn’t even lived for 50 years? Even if I wanted to talk anyway, I couldn’t because of Geass, so it was all a meaningless worry.
“no way. Have you opened your way to the wireless world? “It’s strange, but I guess it’s still too much for your level?”
“It looks like you know.”
“Yeah, you know. “Because I’ve been there and seen it.”
“oh? “Can you explain?”
“Before that, let me ask you something too. What are you going to do with that? “Now you can’t go there even if you want to.”
“You can’t go? “Then what is this?”
Jeongdo said so and took out a scroll from his inventory. It was a <Wireless Warp Scroll> obtained from the Warlord’s Dungeon.
Jis narrowed his eyes when he saw the scroll.
“Where did you get this again? It’s very precious… “Are you taking it out like you’re taking out a picnic lunch?”
Jeongdo briefly explained to Jis what happened in the Musinma’s dungeon.
I went into a dungeon to save someone else and met Musinma there.
He even explained how he passed the Musinma’s test and even received a scroll as a reward. Jis nodded after hearing the explanation.
“That guy called Mushinma is probably a figure in the radio world. He seems to be quite an influential guy. “Invitations to the wireless community should not be distributed carelessly.”
“invitation?”
“Yes, that is the official name of the scroll. It is an object used by beings living in the wireless world to invite those they recognize. “That Musinma guy must have really liked you.”
Jis finished the remaining beer and continued speaking.
“The universe is endlessly wide, and that is why an endless world exists. The wireless world is one of those many universes. However, it is a place that receives very special treatment even in space. “It is a place where beings from all over the universe gather.”
“Beings of the entire universe? “What do they do together?”
“It’s like a training ground where the mighty of the universe gather to raise their level. “It’s a place full of people who will do anything to become strong.”
“ah.”
Jeongdo was able to recall a place from Jis’s words. He himself had been to a similar place once.
Sky Island Delaf.
It was a kind of testing ground that the degree visited to obtain a title. There, people from all over the universe gathered and competed to raise their level, and Jeong Do won.
‘Then is the wireless world a place to go for a second job change?’
Since it was a place with a Martial God Demon-level powerhouse, it was clear that it would boast a level of difficulty that could not be compared to Sky Island. And there will be a big reward. Of course I wanted to go.
“But why can’t I go?”
“Oh, correct that. If you have this invitation, even you can go now. Originally, the path there was only open to beings above a certain level. therefore… If I were to explain it to you in an easy-to-understand way, would this be the place where the highest level black-level person goes to become white-level? Of course, the path won’t open at your current level.”
In short, the wireless world was a munchkin den full of crazy monsters. He muttered as if he missed Jis.
“I only came out after seeing the entrance. There’s probably a lot to be gained by going there. You will be able to raise your level in no time. “It is a perfect place for you who need to train in both <Communication> and <Dangongcham>.”
“Hearing that makes me itchy. “To the point where I want to go right now.”
“no. What did you just hear from me? This is a place where the highest level blacks train to become white? If you continue in your current state, there is a high probability that you will die. therefore… ”
thud.
Jis slammed his beer glass down on the table and laughed.
“First, we will make it to a level where you can act as a person there. We’ll upgrade your equipment and train you. And be sure to go there and practice your <communication>. And then you know? “Be sure to show it to us when you use ‘the potential of the universe.’”
“… of course. please.”
This is how the strange cohabitation between the degree and the dwarf began.
* * * * * *
Time passed in an instant and three weeks passed.
I rolled over and ate, rolled over and slept again.
It was literally a series of sparring. I hung around with not only Jis but also other dwarves.
And Jeongdo’s attire also changed significantly. When they found out that Jeong Do was going to the wireless world, the other dwarves also picked up the hammer without hesitation.
“Hmm, I think I’m feeling better now.”
“It’s still far away, but at this rate, we can avoid guest deaths.”
The dwarves saw Jeong-do off for the last time. Jis came over and tapped Do-do’s leg.
“One last piece of advice… There, doubt everything you see. These are the guys who will do anything to become strong. Always watch the back of your head.”
“yes. thank you “Then I’ll come back.”
With those words, Jeong-Do tore open the scroll without hesitation and was engulfed in bright light.
And by the time the halo of light disappeared, I could no longer find it in the dungeon.
