Episode 17 Receive your first request.
-A request?
‘okay. A request came in my name.’
I thought it was a mission handed down from the family, but it was a request sent from outside.
“Why did this come down from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security?”
Since the request was sent not to Shingeombaekga but to an individual named Baek Woo-jin, there was absolutely no reason to go through the Public Prosecution Department.
“Isn’t it because you haven’t been using your cell phone lately?”
“ah!”
Baek Woo-jin clapped his hands at Jeon Jun-hyuk’s words. He was right. Because of my training, I didn’t carry my cell phone with me and didn’t turn it on for a month.
I didn’t pay any attention to it since I didn’t have anyone to contact me anyway, but I guess I sent a request to the family because I didn’t get a message.
“Let’s go back first.”
“All right.”
Baek Woo-jin stopped training and returned to his room in Baekyujeon.
“The battery went out too.”
The cell phone was left on the sofa with its battery out.
-keke You’re such an idiot that modern people live without cell phones for a month.
“I got to the level I am now because I trained like that.”
-I admit that, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’re crazy.
“You can think whatever you want.”
While charging my phone, I looked closely at the request form.
“The 1st Regen Area escort mission group.”
-Regen area?
“Unlike dungeons where monsters disappear when you catch them, there are places where monsters keep appearing. “It’s called the Regen area.”
-If monsters keep appearing, this is the perfect place to train. It must be very popular.
“You might think so, but in reality, it’s not very popular.”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and tapped the document in his hand.
“The monsters that come out there rarely give you magic stones or items. “There’s nothing to gain, so much so that I think it would be better to buy a lottery ticket.”
-Are you saying it’s not popular because there’s nothing coming out?
“okay. They say a boss appears very occasionally, but the probability of him giving you items or magic stones is very low, so there’s no need to go there.”
– Well, in your world, you can make money by catching monsters, so it would be better to go to the dungeon.
“that’s right. “Going through dungeons or cracks is much better in terms of rewards.”
Tiriring.
Baek Woo-jin turned on his charging cell phone and opened the Talent app.
“Oh, it was this guy.”
When I looked at the application request, I saw that the recommender was Hong In-su. Hong Insu is a level 2 ability who was kindly treated in the Vine Mole Dungeon.
-It seems like he viewed you favorably.
“That man was considerate in many ways, so I was kind to him, so I guess he liked me.”
-Are you going to do it?
“If you see that this request was given to me, it means that you can do whatever
you want…” -It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go for a change.
“That’s right. uh?”
Baek Woo-jin stood up while looking at the request again.
“The client is Seoin!”
– Seo-in? Who is that?
“Arcane Guild Master’s only daughter. “There was a lot of chaos because he died after entering the Regen area.”
-You mean from your past life?
“okay.”
It was reported on the news that at the age of 15, Seo In-ah hired several talented people to go to the Regen area and was killed.
I also remember that the Arcane Guild offered an astronomical bounty to find the person who killed Seo In-ah.
-Is she the only one who died?
“No, all the talented people who went with me are dead. The Arcane Guild searched for the culprit, but he was not identified.”
-Then it would be better not to go. It might be dangerous.
“Yes, but it is a good opportunity to form a relationship with Arcane.”
Arcane is a very useful guild. Establishing a line with them will definitely be of great help.
-What is Arcane?
“It’s a production guild competing for first or second place in the industry. “We make quality products.”
-Well, even if they help you, it’s dangerous because you don’t know what will happen.
“Hong In-su. “This guy also takes a while.”
Hong Insu is a person who treated me kindly and gave me advice about the dungeon from the first time I met him. After clearing the dungeon, I gave the moles additional magic stones and even bought them food.
Didn’t you think of yourself and invite me for this request? I wanted to help.
Ding!
While Baek Woo-jin was thinking about how to cancel the request, a notification sound sounded in his ear.
[A new quest has arrived.]
< Connect a Relationship >

Condition: Prevent the massacre that will occur in the first regen area.
Quest acceptance benefit: During the quest period, your invisible abilities and five senses increase.

“Did you see it?”
-I saw it…
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and pressed the request acceptance button on the app.
“I can’t help it. “I need to use a cheat key.”
**
On the day of leaving for the Regen area, Baek Woo-jin opened his door and came out.
“Are you following me?”
[yes. I’m right next to you.]
Immediately, a sound came to Baek Woo-jin’s ears.
-The cheat key is the cheat key.
‘yes.’
Baek Woo-jin decided to take Moon Ju-young with him on this occasion. I plan to resolve most issues myself, but if the enemy is at a level that I cannot handle, I plan to leave it to Moon Ju-young.
“hmm?”
When Baek Woo-jin left the entrance of Baek Yu-jeon, he encountered a fierce-looking man. He is the sixth member of the Baek family.
widely.
Baek Ho-jung blocked Baek Woo-jin’s path. Baek Woo-jin tried to pass by, but he followed and blocked the road again.
“Are you out of your mind? “Your brother is passing by and you don’t say hello?”
“Since when did you act like an older brother?”
Baek Ho-jung is a beast-like guy who picks fights, throws punches, and swears whenever he encounters him, regardless of whether he was in his past or present life. There was no need to deal with it at all.
“You did it? Our trash has become very short-spoken? “How many times have you caught Baek Myung-hoon, the same trash, so you can’t see anything?”
Even though Baek Ho-joong was blatantly sarcastic, Baek Woo-jin did not say anything and maintained a blank expression.
“Do you want me to remind you that your topic is rock bottom?”
Baekhojung laughed and began to spread his momentum. The idea is to crush Baek Woo-jin with momentum.
Wow.
Baek Woo-jin bit his molars gently and withstood the momentum of Baek Ho-jung.
‘What…’
Baek Ho-jung frowned. The pressure on Baek Woo-jin right now is such that even a level 2 prosecutor cannot withstand it. I couldn’t understand how Baek Woo-jin, who had recently reached level 1, was standing.
‘I won’t even let you breathe.’
The momentum of the White Tigers became even stronger. Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists and did not take a single step back.
Ttudeuk.
The result was completely different from what was expected, and a tendon appeared on Baek Ho-jung’s forehead.
“You damn bastard!”
“What are they doing?”
When Baek Ho-jung was about to raise his fist, Baek Seong-hyeon walked out from behind Baek Woo-jin.
“Baekho Middle School. “Don’t you know that fighting is prohibited in the Battle of White Guards?”
“…know.”
“What are you doing when you know? Should I at least give you some disciplinary action?”
“Hmph…”
Baek Ho-jung roughly pushed Baek Woo-jin’s shoulder and entered the Baekwijeon.
“Cute youngest. “If you keep fussing like that, you never know when you might fall behind.”
Baek Ho-jung turned around without stopping and provoked Baek Woo-jin.
“We will only find out who will be left behind until the end. older brother.”
“You bastard!”
At Baek Woo-jin’s sarcastic answer, Baek Ho-jung’s expression was crushed like a tin can. His ferocious face became even more frightening.
“Wook….”
Baek Ho-jung looked at Baek Seong-hyeon’s eyes and let out a rough breath and went up to his room. He could hear things breaking from where he climbed.
“Woojin. Ho-joong has different abilities and personality from Myung-hoon. If possible, ignore even if they argue. “If I provoke you, it won’t do you any good.”
“okay.”
Baekhojung is strong and strong, but he is also a very poisonous person. Baek Woo-jin also knows that it is better not to get into trouble.
“Be careful with your first request.”
“It’s okay because it’s the first regen area.”
“There is no need to worry. Bye.”
“I will be back.”
Baek Seong-hyeon smiled and patted Baek Woo-jin on the shoulder. Baek Woo-jin said hello to Baek Seong-hyeon and headed outside.
-If you had fought that guy earlier, you would have lost.
‘know. Baekhojung is a level 4 swordsman. I can’t win now.
-But why did you provoke me?
‘I don’t want to live like a fool in my new life. If you stick together, you will gain something even if you lose.
I have no intention of living this life comfortably. I will challenge myself endlessly and knock on the wall
**
[Don’t come out unless it’s a really dangerous moment.]
[I understand.]
Baek Woo-jin ordered Moon Ju-young to hide and headed to the designated location.
“There you are!”
Hong In-soo spotted Baek Woo-jin and approached, waving his hand.
“Long time no see.”
“I couldn’t contact you, so I made a request to the association. “Have you been to some island?”
Because Hong In-su contacted me through the association, he did not know that I was a direct descendant of the Baek family.
“Well, it’s similar.”
“haha! You must have done some training. I received a pretty good request this time, so I recommended you. “I’m glad you came in time.”
“Thank you for taking care of us.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and nodded. As he said, the amount received is large for a request to protect the 1st Regen region. Hong In-soo called Baek Woo-jin out of genuine favor.
“Shall I tell you something interesting? That girl from the mole dungeon also came. “I didn’t even call it like you did.”
As I turned my gaze following Hong In-su’s finger, I saw a woman I had seen before. This is Jeok Yeon-hwa, the youngest daughter of a powerful Jeok family.
-Why is that woman here?
‘I guess you followed me?’
-He followed you?
‘okay. In my past life, Jeok Yeon-hwa never came here. ‘Because I was alive until I died.’
Jeok Yeon-hwa did not participate in this request in her previous life. It was clear that he had applied for the request after himself. He probably used the enemy’s information to get a position by paying a premium.
“It’s been a while.”
A dry voice flowed from Jeok Yeon-hwa. It seemed like he was desperately trying to hide his feelings.
“hello.”
When Baek Woo-jin smiled and greeted Jeok Yeon-hwa, she received the greeting with an expressionless expression and turned her head. As expected, he is pretending not to be interested.
“Well, you were fine until now, but you don’t seem to be in a good mood now.”
“Never mind. Now, can you introduce the client?”
“Oh yeah. “That came first.”
Hong In-su hit his forehead with his palm and took Baek Woo-jin to Seo In-ah.
“hello. “My name is Seo In-ah.”
Seo In-ah, whom I saw in person, was a short-haired beauty with a cute vibe. My eyes went to the tear spots under my eyes.
“This is Baek Woo-jin.”
“You said Hong In-soo has good skills and good manners, but he is very young.”
“This guy is young, but he has really good skills. You can stop worrying. haha!”
“It seems so. Please take care of me.”
“i look forward to.”
After a brief exchange with Seo In-ah, I asked her the purpose of coming here.
“Seoin. “The purpose is exploration. What are you trying to find?”
“In the Rizen area, something called black thorn grass appears very occasionally. “I came because I wanted to save it.”
Black thorn grass is a very rare grass that can be found in the Regen region. Researchers sometimes come to the Regen area to search for the grass.
He may have done something strange, but it wasn’t a special reason to be killed.
After waiting for a while, all 7 people who will be moving together today have gathered. I looked at each person one by one, but didn’t see anyone particularly strange.
“Then let’s go!”
Hong In-su entered the regen area with a lively signal. Baek Woo-jin stood right behind Seo In-ah, and Jeok Yeon-hwa was behind Baek Woo-jin, spying on his every move.
-Something looks stinging?
‘Ignore it. That woman has a very strong desire to win, so unless she beats the boss in front of me, she’ll keep following me.’
-She has a pretty face, but she’s crazy like you.
‘haha!’
While Baek Woo-jin was chatting with Darkness, the sound of grass being stepped on reached his ears.
“It’s a goblin!”
The first monster to appear was a goblin. This is the most common monster in the 1st Regen area.
“Squeak…”
Hong In-su cut off the goblin’s lower body to prevent it from escaping, then immediately plunged the sword into its heart.
The goblin’s body disappeared like dust less than 30 seconds after death.
“Because monsters appear from here. Let’s move with caution. You two will protect In-ah.”
“All right.”
“yes.”
Hong In-su instructed Baek Woo-jin and Jeok Yeon-hwa to protect Seo In-ah and then opened the way with other talented people.
The talented people caught the kobold goblin vine moles and moved slowly so that Seo In-ah could search.
– Baek Woo-jin.
Darkness, which had been quiet for a while after the monster appeared, spoke for the first time in a long time.
‘What have you been doing so far?’
-Can you see this?
As the darkness finished speaking, a hologram window that Baek Woo-jin had never seen before appeared in front of him.
[Time remaining until boss appears 00:01:11]
