Episode 324:
Kim Jong-ho reacted to Tae-hyeon’s words.
The other day, when Taehyun first came to see me.
As I looked at the status window, many thoughts came to mind.
‘Can an individual awaken so many different skills?’
‘Can an individual possess such enormous magical power?’
‘Can a human have a status window like this?’
‘The strongest player who uses the power of monsters.’
‘Can Kim Tae-hyun really be defined as a human being?’
Although I didn’t show it.
For a brief moment, Kim Jong-ho even imagined that Taehyun’s identity was a polymorph monster.
Nevertheless, the reason I trusted him and took charge of upgrading the status window was because of the sincerity shown by Taehyun.
This is because I am confident that I am well-versed in understanding people after dealing with a variety of people over a long period of time.
The man he identified as Kim Tae-hyun was willing to gamble with his life.
He was not a person who took advantage of three inches of tongue.
He said he would be in charge of Taehyun’s status window and that he would support the Players’ Association, which has always maintained the line.
What I paid most attention to was that, in addition to the simplification work, a new system called ‘Quest’ was added.
Even the status window of most multi-skill awakeners is like handling a toy to Kim Jong-ho.
Taehyun’s status window was more complicated and unstable than expected.
For players, the instability of the status window poses a fatal threat.
That’s why he decided to use his masterpiece, the quest system.
Even though it is unfinished.
I am confident that if the system integrates well into the status window, it will definitely help Taehyun with the variables he faces.
And now.
Taehyun was saying that he would tell me about the law he discovered.
Just like Seo Sang-ik did.
Kim Jong-ho also shed the honor of being the head of Doje Corporation and changed into a face that a researcher might see.
“Hoo. which?”
Taehyun, who noticed that Kim Jong-ho’s eyes had changed, opened his mouth.
He is the best expert in New Korea when it comes to status window systems.
It would also be beneficial for Taehyun to know at least one thing in more detail.
“That quest. “It only occurred to me when a situation made sense to me.”
“An understandable situation? “Tell me in more detail.”
Taehyun, who had a researcher’s look in his eyes, roughly told him about the moments that reminded him of the quest so far.
With the bait of growth.
When there is even the slightest chance of completing the quest.
The status window created a quest.
Also, except for the race war, turf war, and gray disease, all quests were short-term.
It was something that could not have been achieved without that moment.
If you miss that moment, there is a strong possibility that you will miss the clue to growth.
‘If you don’t risk your life, there is no growth.’
These are the values that Taehyun has had since his past life.
Sang Tae-chang read Tae-hyeon’s mind like a ghost and proposed a quest.
It was not unreasonable for Kim Jong-ho to say that Taehyun’s Sangtae Chang was a personality with vitality.
“Hmm….”
Kim Jong-ho’s expression became serious after hearing the whole situation.
No, it would be accurate to say that it was something I had never even thought of.
Even if you have to risk your life.
It’s a status window that adjusts the quest so that it doesn’t pop up if you don’t even see the minimum chance of success.
It was definitely something that wasn’t in mind when the quest system was first introduced.
‘It is certainly. This man’s status window is not a simple system.’
This is something I was skeptical about when upgrading the status window the other day.
I became convinced by Taehyun’s words a little while ago.
“It seems like I have met the most noble among nobles.”
Taehyun suddenly looked at me as if asking what I was talking about.
“First of all, I think it would be good to use the quest system a little more. No, on the contrary, it’s settled in better now than I thought, so there’s no need to touch it.”
“I agree.”
Kim Jong-ho continued.
Since Taehyun’s status window is special, he said he can apply most new technologies.
However, adding this and that could be cumbersome for Taehyun, who performs high-speed combat.
“So today I’ll just back up the status window.”
Taehyun asked why he was a backup.
Although people who work with status windows sometimes do this for tuning or skill enhancement procedures.
This is because it does not apply to Taehyun now.
The answer was shocking.
“I go in and out of the deepest level like it’s my own home. “You don’t know what will happen to people’s lives, right?”
“….”
Kim Jong-ho, who thought he missed it too late, continued.
“Your status window is special, so it will be difficult to manage if problems arise later. Since you can see such a difference even in a short period of time… it would be better to make regular backups. Of course, I will experiment with things while you are away.”
‘I think the last one is the key.’
However, since it was not a bad intention, Taehyun said so.
It took three hours for Kim Jong-ho to recover his strength and back up Taehyun’s status window.
I didn’t think it would be polite to leave the exhausted Kim Jong-ho alone, so I waited for him to recover with potions.
Meanwhile, we talked about the skill ‘Devil Gate’ that was not activated.
“Bangnoya. “I can vividly see the man’s face when he said he was afraid you would come back again.”
Surprisingly, Kim Jong-ho already knew Bang Chae-soo through Jin-hee Ji’s introduction.
The way he was laughing seemed quite fitting.
The last thing I want to say is that I had already planned to visit you sometime.
Taehyun left Doje Yanghaeng.

New Korea Players Association. Association President’s Office.
There, two men were discussing a matter.
“The end of the gray disease seems to be in sight.”
“It was longer than I thought. “If it weren’t for Taehyun, I would have suffered for several more years.”
Go Tae-wook said as if he didn’t want to even think about it.
This is because the player associations of each country were always on emergency standby due to the horse people believing in the gray disease and running rampant.
Ji Jin-hee, the president of the association, and Tae-wook Ko, the acting president of the association, suffered especially severely.
The end of such gray diseases is now within sight.
The hard ground becomes even harder after it rains.
The new Korea achieved what the United States, China, and Russia, all of which were self-proclaimed great powers, could not accomplish.
Therefore, the status of the New Korea Players Association was raised more than ever and the world’s attention seemed to be focused on it.
“China is acting like that now, but eventually they will try to join the P20 somehow.”
P20(Player20).
It was a national player group being prepared as the need for close information sharing between countries emerged due to this gray disease case.
It is different from an association and different from a guild.
‘America and China. The existing World Players Association, which involves the political interests of both countries, is not enough.’
Based on that judgment, Ji Jin-hee was the organization she was preparing for.
Among the 20 countries selected to prevent any gaps in information, there were currently more than 10 countries waiting to join.
If it is established safely.
‘It is not unreasonable for it to become a national organization that goes beyond the World Players Association.’
Therefore, the executives of the association, including Ji Jin-hee and Ko Tae-wook, were busy meeting with politicians at home and abroad.
“What did player Park Seong-jin say?”
Ji Jin-hee asked, remembering that Park Seong-jin went to Taiwan with full authority as president of the association.
“They say they think the World Players’ Association has abandoned their country. They say they are active in joining and participating in the P20, but are negative about China joining.”
“Even if we accept their demands now, there will be insufficient justification to block China’s membership in the long run.”
“That’s right. “Geographical requirements are really holding back many people.”
Go Tae-wook said with regret.
There is something every new Korean person says.
Enemies everywhere.
Although unification was achieved and North Korea, the main enemy, disappeared.
Japan and China, which once targeted this land in the past, are still targets of caution.
Other countries were no exception.
“Try to persuade him that he will share the information he found out from Chairman Lee Jeong-soo.”
Lee Jeong-su, who was imprisoned, broke the news that the Chinese government and the player association Taishan Group had colluded with a significant number of magicians.
Taiwan was expected to cooperate for the time being with the gift of Chairman Lee Jeong-soo.
“I will tell you that.”
Ji Jin-hee’s face frowned as she looked at the next report.
This is because of spies from the association, led by Yoo Ah-young and Go Tae-wook, who discovered it in extreme secrecy.
The number reached as many as a hundred people.
“There were so many….”
Among them, there were twenty who stayed in Japan. The number of people who stayed in China reached fifty.
All of these people had been quietly holding their breath until now, but were recently identified due to a series of incidents.
“The physical evidence is clear. Would you like to present?”
The question was whether he would spare his life in exchange for being governed by the law.
Ji Jin-hee shook his head.
“They are the ones who sold out their country. “It must have been an action that risked one’s life.”
“We will handle it quietly.”
In addition, several other issues were discussed.
Recently, there has been a quiet trend among mine users and the Taesan Group is rapidly expanding in China.
In particular, Lee Jeong-jae’s Taesan guild, which began to appear in the world guild rankings, stood out.
“The whereabouts of Min Ji-hong and Kasim Jort are still unknown… but according to the report from Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young, there is a greater than 80% chance that both of them are alive.”
“Hmm.”
Ji Jin-hee had a bitter expression.
This is because he is in a situation where he has to wish for the death of Min Ji-hong, who was his adopted son.
Go Tae-wook changed the topic.
“Coincidentally, in addition to Taehyun who provided the information… the whereabouts of Cody Cruz and Asisat Ebi are also unknown.”
“The other two may have entered the deepest level as well.”
The two people thought of Taehyun once again.
“Now that I think about it, you bet on guild leader Yoo Ah-young, right? “I’m not confident in my relationship with Taehyun.”
Ji Jin-hee laughed and joked.
“I don’t have the confidence to bet on myself like the president of the association.”
“Hehe. Just look at it. Taehyun will be the first to come to see me.”
Ji Jin-hee said with confidence.
That’s it.
“I’m sorry about this.”
“…!!”
“…!!”
The two people were surprised for a moment.
Ssssssut.
Taehyun, who lifted his hiding, appeared in front of the two people.
“Taehyun-kun!!”
“Taehyun!!”
Ji Jin-hee and Ko Tae-wook stood up and shouted.
Taehyun looked at them like that.
“Unfortunately, Guild Master Seo Sang-ik was first choice.”
He smiled awkwardly.
* * *
Taehyun sat across from Go Tae-wook.
Anytime for the two of you.
I had just received permission to visit without revealing my identity.
The idea was that there was no need to unnecessarily identify Taehyun’s movements while the world was watching his actions.
Of course, this was possible because there was trust that went beyond friendship.
That’s why I didn’t feel bad even though he suddenly appeared.
The faces of the two men were full of joy.
“You are probably the only one who can enter and exit the deepest level like this.”
“ha ha ha. “I won’t leave this old man’s heart alone.”
Starting with greetings, Taehyun gave a rough overview of what happened in the Abyss in response to the two people’s endless questions.
The point was that a turf war between the great dukes had broken out at the deepest level, and that perhaps SSS-class monsters might appear on Earth as a result.
As the players’ power has become stronger.
The level of monsters you have to deal with has also increased significantly.
It took a moment for the two to become serious.
“Guild leader Seo Sang-ik and master Kim Jong-ho.”
“We were third.”
Go Tae-wook chuckled, and Jin-hee Ji grumbled, unable to hide his disappointment.
“Then the 4th ranked guild leader is Yoo Ah-young?”
In response to Go Tae-wook’s question, Tae-hyun mentioned Bang Chae-soo’s name.
“Let’s meet Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young slowly.”
“Hmm.”
“Hmm.”
Regardless of the two people’s reactions.
‘To survive the next Archduke we meet.’
Refinement of skills was a priority.
