Episode 113 Dungeon Strategy for Regressors (1)
The 2nd Practical Test Begins. after about six hours.
Korea’s largest awakened community, ‘Raider Gallery’, was literally on the verge of an explosion.
It was thanks to the video that Jaehyun uploaded a while ago using the A-class magic 《Ice Rain》.
And now. There was a man who pressed the play button on the community’s black screen.
Song Ji-seok.
He was the person in charge of the team leader of the radar management headquarters.
He is smiling as if he is full of energy as he watches the video that is now playing.
A video I’ve already seen several times.
But no matter how you look at it, there was a corner that I couldn’t get tired of.
Comments were the same.
[Anonymous 1: Hey… Fuck that is possible?]
[Anonymous 2: Honestly, this is Evajaner;; What kind of freshman is overusing A-class skills.]
[Anonymous 3: ㅇ;; Wasn’t that supposed to be at least 3rd grade?]
[Anonymous 10: When I went to the next room, Seo Ina and Ahn Ho-yeon also used B-level or higher skills well?]
[Anonymous 5: Ai Sitpal~! Are B and A the same hahahahahahaha]
[Anonymous 6: Isn’t it Jujak?]
[Anonymous 4: Yes, the Sukjak reader checked it earlier, but he said there was no trace of manipulation in the video. Therefore, that means ㄹㅇ ji skill.]
[Anonymous 7: Crazy…;;]
[Anonymous 8: Hey, no matter how you look at it, that’s not it. It could be age.]
[Anonymous 9: Well… it could be.]
They didn’t seem to believe in Jaehyun’s achievements easily.
No wonder.
It’s amazing to use magic without casting for a freshman subject. You say you handle the A-class skill «Ice Rain»?
Is that also freely?
This was a level that other pro raiders couldn’t easily enter.
A vibrant community.
Song Ji-seok murmured as he put his hand in the outer pocket of the coat he was wearing.
“Min Jae-hyeon… He doesn’t break a drop of sweat even after using A-class magic. According to agent Kim Ji-yeon a while ago, she doesn’t seem to have a good relationship with Gu Ja-in… I also have to bring her to this side somehow.”
Jae-hyun was a person who could be a major player in uncovering Gu Ja-in’s corruption.
Although he is still a cadet, he has skills that exceed that of a cadet.
I didn’t know if I could bring out the fall of Gu Jain faster if I just got my hands on these talents.
Moreover, the situation is very good right now.
It is not clear why, but the Yeonhwa Guild is also actively checking Gu Ja-in.
The guild experience was prepared quietly enough that even the radar management headquarters did not notice.
Smelling this incident meant that Yooseong was also preparing to destroy Gu Ja-in.
If you use this well, it would not be unreasonable to work with Yeon-hwa to uncover Goo Ja-in’s evil deeds.
“Now is the real start.”
Song Ji-seok smiled, showing his white teeth.
He took his smartphone out of his suit coat and put it to his ear.
After a while.
[Hello?]
Soon after, a familiar voice came from the smartphone.
Kyung Hoon Park.
As Song Ji-seok’s direct junior, he was the first to recognize Jae-hyun’s ability in the past and said that he might be able to clear the dungeon in Neverland.
“uh. grow. Kyunghoon, how are you?”
[Senior finished the phone call. Is there anything?]
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
[…please?]
“Yes. Why do you have that life you talked about before? Jaehyun Min. Investigate who is behind that bastard right away and hand over the files.”
[yes? All of a sudden… besides, that’s a violation of human rights, isn’t it? A person who is the team leader of the radar management headquarters who cares for the people can do such a thing…….]
“It’s an opportunity to destroy Gu Ja-in.”
At Song Ji-seok’s words, Park Kyung-hun over the phone was silent for a moment.
Guin. To both of them he was an object of terrible hatred.
In the past, Song Ji-seok and Park Kyung-hun each had the experience of losing their own family members to Goo Ja-in.
Song Ji-seok is his only son.
Park Kyung-hoon has a younger sister who is four years younger than him.
The two of them had reasons to hate Gu Ja-in.
That’s why I react sensitively to that name.
After a while.
Park Kyung-hoon said in a slightly subdued voice.
[…I’ll try to do something. But what if there is no belly?]
“There is no way there is.”
Song Ji-seok crossed his arms and said with a confident expression.
The reason he was so sure was clear.
The previous Neverland incident.
In that case, Song Ji-seok thought that Min Jae-hyeon’s identity would be widely known nationwide.
Characteristic from place of origin. from likes to dislikes. When did you wake up and how do you train, etc.
Every little bit of information.
However, after the incident, Jaehyun’s name was only mentioned a few times on TV, and few articles were published compared to the weight of the work he had done.
And that is.
‘It means that the back boat that looked after Min Jae-hyun blocked all the articles. And that on purpose.’
But not all doubts were gone.
why?
Why did Jaehyun hide his identity by covering reporters’ mouths?
Who else will look after Jaehyun?
Song Ji-seok has been thinking about him for over a month.
And I was certain of one thing.
‘Min Jae-hyun is hiding his power.’
At the same time he thought
Along with the guild experience incident, the Yeonhwa Guild exploded an article as if it had been waiting for it. The meaning of this action is unclear.’
The corners of Song Ji-seok’s mouth went up. He spoke in a calm voice.
“First of all, find out the connection between Yeonhwa Guild and Min Jaehyun. I’m sure something interesting will come out.”
* * *
“Then let’s move in earnest.”
after the battle is over. Jaehyun looked around at the group and said.
Kim Jin-ah and Park Seong-woo, who were watching Jae-hyun’s battle, asked in amazement.
“Jae Jaehyun, when did you learn an A-rank skill?”
“therefore! does this make sense? We’re still freshmen!”
“Well, it just happened because I was doing something.”
After answering appropriately, Jaehyun started to scan the field.
It was because he had to pack all the necessary items before moving on to the second floor.
‘The dungeon’s difficulty increases as you go down. Farming time will run out.’
It is very difficult to catch high-ranking monsters in the depths of the dungeon and combine it with farming.
From the 2nd floor, a higher grade monster will appear. The people I’m dealing with now are only C-class monsters, but after that, I have to deal with up to B-class monsters.
Of course, since it’s a midterm exam, even if it’s the same level as the actual monster, it’s right to look down at least two or three ranks. Even this was bound to be a huge burden for freshmen.
It was good to pack all the necessary survival items on the 1st floor as much as possible.
After a while.
Jaehyun and the party succeeded in killing all the lava slimes.
In the first place, there was no great difficulty because it was a low-grade beast that only had to be careful of dust.
Kim Jin-ah and Park Sung-woo also got used to dealing with enemies using bombs.
Of course, this method had its limitations as the effectiveness of bombs in the depths decreased sharply, but it was certain that the dungeon raid would go smoothly.
“Huh… I think I’ve taken care of the items at this level. It would be better to start making potions soon.”
When Jaehyun said, Sungwoo Park pointed his finger across the street and said.
“I think the heat will be a little less over there. There is less energy coming up from the ground.”
“Um… I guess so.”
Jinah Kim agreed.
Jaehyun also decided that the location selection was not bad.
‘Because in order to make a burn resistance potion with frost weed, I have to get away from the heat to some extent.’
Jaehyun took out a basic set for tent installation from his inventory.
It was one of the items Park Ha-joon handed out before entering the dungeon for the first time.
Incidentally, a tent is a device that acts like a shelter, and if you enter it, the broadcast will be cut off for a while.
In the meantime, they regroup and go into battle again.
For reference, the period leading up to this second practical test is 3 days.
The earlier you clear the dungeon, the earlier the time will go, but in general, it’s usually completed in 3 days.
This is because there are items that can only be obtained here, and the more carefully you clear the dungeon, the more points you get.
“Then we’ll pitch a tent.”
Park Seong-woo and Kim Jin-ah set up a tent.
Jaehyun plays the role of guarding the surroundings. Kim Yoo-jung took on the role of cooling the surrounding temperature with water attribute magic until the potion was completed.
all important things. The distribution is done properly.
Thanks to that, the chat window was also filled with admiring comments.
[Anonymous 3: They are almost like veterans;; You seem to have learned how to navigate dungeons well?]
[Anonymous 9: Teaching at the most elite academy in Korea, isn’t it natural?]
[Anonymous 22: To be honest, when I went to Miles, I did that much, too?]
[Anonymous 1: Stop talking bullshit and wipe your feet at home. Sleep.]
[Anonymous 6: ㄴㅇㅋ]
“Now, it’s done. Now let’s go inside.”
At Kim Jin-ah’s words, Jae-hyun and Kim Yoo-jung pushed their bodies inside the tent.
“It is quite cozy.”
After Kim Yoo-jung said that, she sat cross-legged in the middle.
Park Seong-woo took out alchemy tools such as pots and ladle burners and laid them on the floor.
“I think it will take about an hour to make the potion.”
“are you okay. That’s enough.”
Jaehyun nodded.
An hour is enough.
Anyway, there are things I need to do before entering the second floor.
Well, in the first place, Sungwoo Park’s preparation speed is not that slow.
“Ha… but it’s really hot here. I think I’m going crazy.”
Kim Yoo-jung sighed and said. Jaehyun also agreed.
“I know. After all, this is a dungeon modeled after Muspelheim.”
It’s not that it wasn’t, the inside of the dungeon was too hot.
It would be slightly better if I used the water attribute and ice attribute magic like before, but I couldn’t abuse even that.
In a situation where you don’t know when a monster will pop out, it’s poison to waste mana recklessly. Patience is also one of Radar’s main virtues.
“I will try to do it as soon as possible. Be patient.”
At Park Seong-woo’s words, Kim Yoo-jung scratched her head as if she was embarrassed.
“I wasn’t talking about making it fast…”
“Yeah. Kim Yoo-jung is also the best at noticing others.”
“hey! Because it’s not like that!”
Kim Jin-ah, who was next to Jae-hyun and Kim Yoo-jung, smiled lightly.
“You guys are really good.”
“It’s not particularly good.”
At Kim Yoo-jung’s words, Kim Jin-ah tilted her head.
“Are you looking like a best friend? Were you close since childhood?”
“Um… I’ve known you since then.”
Kim Yu-jung had a blunt tone, but she answered quickly.
Jaehyun laughed.
‘As expected, I can’t have a harsh personality.’
At first, she was angry when she heard that the two of them were forming a team, but Kim Yoo-jung knew it well.
There is nothing wrong with Kim Jin-ah and Park Sung-woo.
I just became more sensitive in a situation where I might lose my friend. She, too, fully understood their situation.
No matter how many people choose the job of a raider who kills monsters and closes dungeons, they are mere humans in the face of the fear of death.
Because fear eats away reason and eventually wears out reason.
After thinking for a while, Jaehyun looked back at the three of them and said.
“Guys. I have something to tell you about the operation, so would you like to come together?”
The party followed Jaehyun’s words and gathered in a circle.
Jae-hyun slowly explained his strategy to his colleagues. It was to convey the changes that he was not sure about until he entered sub-space.
After a while.
After hearing about the whole plan, the party looked at Jaehyun with dumbfounded faces.
“…is that really possible?”
Kim Yoo-jung’s bewildered voice echoed inside the tent for a while.
Jaehyun stood up from his seat and smiled.
“of course.”
