Episode 69. The mana runaway
voice is unusual.
“What’s going on, Yeonhwa?”
Jinhyeok asked carefully.
“My brother’s grandfather… Grandpa passed away. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be able to make it through tonight…”
If Yeon-hwa’s grandfather, could it be Yoo Chun-yeong?
Come to think of it, I remembered that Kim Ki-tae talked about Yoo Chun-yeong during the awakening test.
I was sure to ask if you were okay.
Yoo Yeon-hwa responded with a furious reaction.
A deceased person who shared [Tower of Trials] with the nickname ‘Bulgwangdong Nuclear Fist’.
‘If Yeon-hwa, who always smiled brightly, was so disturbed that I contacted her…’
There would be no hope.
He must have wanted to pour out his sorrow to someone with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
“where are you?”
“huh?”
“Where are you now?”
“Seoul National University Hospital. But even if my brother comes…”
Seoul National University Hospital.
I guess I need to change my schedule a bit tonight.
“For now, just wait. I’ll be there in 30 minutes.”
＊ ＊ ＊
“Brother is here.”
I saw Yoo Yeon-hwa waiting in front of the hospital room.
“Thank you for coming here. I… I don’t really know who to tell.”
A haggard and emaciated face.
She cried so much that her eyes were filled with tears.
I know how sad you feel, but right now, the priority is to figure out the type of illness.
“Can you tell me what disease it is?”
“It is a symptom of runaway mana. Originally, my grandfather had a chronic illness, but after the Tower of Trials appeared, his symptoms suddenly got much worse.”
The tower’s mana flowed out.
As a result, several changes occurred.
Artifacts stored in museums become sacred relics.
As it is now, causing various side effects was also one of the examples.
The cause was roughly predictable.
‘It’s probably related to the martial arts that old man Yoo Chun-yeong learned.’
The magical power of the tower and the novelty that had been accumulated for a long time caused a rejection reaction and went out of control.
“Maybe I can solve it.”
“Really?”
At Jinhyeok’s words, Yeonhwa’s eyes widened rapidly.
To be able to save the grandfather who everyone gave up on.
The possibility would be slim, but…
I felt like my frozen heart melted in an instant just by the mere fact that I had a glimmer of hope.
“First of all, I want to see the condition myself. Are you in here?”
“huh. wait for a sec.”
Yoo Yeon-hwa, who wiped away her tears, opened the door to the hospital room.
Awesome!
The sound of iron resonated especially loudly.
When I entered the hospital room, I saw fifteen people.
Doctors and nurses in white coats, healers holding sticks that look like magic tools, and sturdy men in uniforms.
Of course, the most notable among them was a stout old man lying unconscious on the bed.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
This is Yoo Chun-young.
‘Is Korea the strongest?’

——————————————————
[Copy condition: Current healers have long ago regarded Yoo Chun-young’s death as a foregone fact. Even though he is convinced that there is no hope, if he reveals the leeches’ ulterior motives and saves Yoo Chun-young’s life, he can copy one of his skills.]
Yoo Chun-young’s stat window seen through the ‘Eye of Gluttony’ is truly gorgeous. It was Ham itself.
Level is only 5.
But you shouldn’t judge this person simply by level.
The specific rankings of the players have not been decided yet, but if you were to pick the most powerful person in Korea so far, the name of Yoo Chun-young came out first.
Regardless of the level and unique ability, it means that the ability you possess is just as great.
‘He said he had never entered a dungeon, and that must have been true.’
It must have been all the levels he had risen from dealing with the monsters that popped out of the Outbreak just once.
It happened while I was in the labyrinth, so it’s a bit unfortunate that I didn’t see it.
‘So I came all the way here on purpose.’
The reason why I came here, giving up a comfortable rest and a delicious meal.
Of course, friendship with Yoo Yeon-hwa also played a part, but the most important thing was to get an opportunity to copy abilities and skills from the strong.
The opportunity to meet a big player like Yoo Chun-young didn’t come very often.
Right then.
“Miss Yeonhwa. Where are you from? It’s time to leave now… Huh?”
One of the healers who had been scolded suddenly inhaled a gust of wind.
It’s because I saw someone who was so familiar behind the flexible painting.
“I am the Kang Jin-hyuk player!”
“You got an S rank this time!?”
“that’s right. That’s him.”
“What are you doing here?”
How could I not know?
The player who is currently the hottest issue in Korea.
Receiving an S-class judgment with overwhelming magic power, as well as the dance he showed against Chun Yoo-seong and Hong Deok-pyo at the gymnasium were memories that are hard to forget.
“Oh, how do you know that lady?”
“I’ve known Jinhyeok oppa for a long time. He said he would take care of his grandfather, so he came with me.”
“yes? Taking care of the condition…”
“Could it be that player Kang Jin-hyeok will treat you?”
Everyone in the room let out suspicious voices.
It must be hard to believe.
Because he showed up out of nowhere and said he would fix something that no one else could fix.
No, apart from the unbelievable, he looked terrified that something more important might be revealed.
[Damn it. Why did the ranker suddenly pop out?]
[You didn’t realize that we were sucking money while giving life-sustaining treatment, right?]
[It’s a bluff. yes it must be Can a guy who can only fight back and forth tell the difference between a vein and an artery?]
Through ‘mind reading’, one of the abilities possessed by the ‘Eye of Gluttony’, the inner thoughts of the healers were heard.
Those who do business with the hopes of others are the most trash.
These guys were the worst among them.
It is a street that knows that Yoo Yeon-hwa will never give up on her grandfather.
‘Disgusting guys.’
They make others shed blood to fill their own teeth, right?
Jinhyuk’s face went cold.
And right at that moment.
The subspace inventory was opened.
Whoa!
What appeared along with the pouring light was the liquid ‘elixir’ contained in the glass bottle.
However, the complexion of the healers did not change even after seeing the Elixir, which was called the universal elixir.
On the contrary, as expected, some even kicked their tongues as if they knew how to take them out.
“I can roughly understand what you’re thinking, but we’ve also used Elixir a few times.”
Heo Jin-soo, the representative of healers, opened his mouth.
I’m trying to treat Yoo Chun-young, but is there anything I haven’t done?
I poured everything I could, including surgical operations as well as various elixirs and herbs.
“You may have talent in combat, but this field is completely different. different.”
“Currently, none of the materials in the Tower of Trials can suppress this disease.”
“Nothing. Please do not further aggravate the patient’s condition with clumsy knowledge.”
Words mingled with ridicule and accusation flowed.
What can I say?
Should I say that it seems like they are threatening not to dare to cross their sanctuary?
I could feel the elitism and the stubbornness that was caught up in the sense of authority.
Now I understand the copy condition set by the system.
It must have been disgusting to act as if you knew everything about the tower with your clumsy knowledge.
I fully understand that feeling.
so.
I want to take a more desperate shot.
Jinhyuk tilted his head pretending not to know.
“hmm. Could it be that you used the Elixir as is?”
“That’s right…”
“Haha. I don’t think those who are well versed in this field would pour the elixir down the throat of a patient who is running out of mana. Unless your head is empty.”
“Big.”
“hmm! Cool!”
The healers’ faces turned red.
It’s because it’s been stabbed in the middle of the day.
However, if he got angry or protested even a word here, he would have to admit the other person’s words as they were, so he had to bite his lips tightly and swallow his anger inside.
good.
Now they’re kind of like docile sheep.
“The reason this person’s symptoms got worse was because the mental method she had been training in the past ran counter to the magical power from the tower. Different types of qi exacerbated the chronic disease. In other words, if you know how to dilute the conflicting magical powers, you can cure the disease.”
“Then, does that mean player Kang Jin-hyuk knows how to do that?”
“Of course I know. Just like all the great healers here.”
“yes?”
“no way. Why are you so humble? As you already know, this method can only be used when the patient’s symptoms worsen and he falls into a coma. Wasn’t that why you had been waiting patiently until now?”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
A third person would have thought that eye smiles were attractive.
From the point of view of the healers facing each other, it was a smile that made them want to hit it with a cane right away.
‘If you say you don’t know here, you will never be able to set foot in this industry again.’
Heo Jin-soo bit his molar.
A healer whose skills are inferior to combat-type players.
If that were even rumored, it would be terrifying to imagine.
“No, of course it is. We have been waiting for that too.”
“also! Then, since I have a short knowledge, I will try to learn the skills of the healers.”
Jinhyuk took a step back.
Then, Heo Jin-soo’s expression distorted as if he had chewed shit.
“That’s… I know how to do it, but I think it will take some time to put it back together because I’ve been consuming so many ingredients. It will take at least a few hours, so I would like player Kang Jin-hyeok to do it for me.”
“Hmm, that’s strange.”
“What do you mean by strange?”
“There is a shortage of materials. From what I’ve seen, it’s normal to stay there for a while.”
A word that was casually thrown.
“…huh!?”
Heo Jin-su involuntarily inhaled.
Facial expression management is fast.
But it’s no use.
It was because I was already hearing all of his inner feelings through the ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
[Uh, how… is it simply a word? Or maybe you don’t know about the back money?]
Well. How did you find out?
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
[I am the only one who knows about the account. In particular, the borrowed-name accounts and bitcoin wallet addresses, which are distributed in seven places, cannot be found out even if he is a god.
] Now that I see it, did you have Bitcoin as well? He ate hundreds of billions of dollars in total, so of course he didn’t even have money to buy ingredients.”
“Don’t even say… no.”
Heo Jin-soo stumbled and took a backward step.
It has to be because all the facts that can never be found out have been exposed.
‘It’s also a fraudulent ability.’
Although conditions were attached, the power to read other people’s minds was overwhelmingly powerful anytime, anywhere.
however.
[Absolutely…]
In the following thoughts of Heo Jin-soo.
[…No way.]
This time, an earthquake occurred in Jinhyeok’s pupils.
