chapter 23
Mukdon
Considering that the traits listed in the trait shop were 100% random each time, it was a great advantage that even one of them came out with the kind of trait I wanted.
Of course, even that would be random among keyword-related characteristics, but where is that?
So far, I’ve been lucky, but if I’m not lucky, I could have achieved achievements and only completely useless traits.
Considering this point, it was safe to say that the characteristic ‘God of the Dice!’ greatly reduced the probability of only winning.
But at the same time, I couldn’t help but think about it.
‘Are achievements really the only way to get attribute points?’
In the case of other heroes, there was not one way to obtain attribute points.
Maybe that’s why the talent ‘God of the Dice!’ There has never been a trait that has an effect on the same trait shop itself.
It was almost a national rule that feature shops were unconditionally random.
However, no matter how hidden the achievement is, it was Choi Si-yoon’s unique characteristic that reduced the random elements of the characteristic shop.
He couldn’t help but wonder if it was because he had only one achievement as the only way to obtain attribute points.
‘It’s a problem that I can’t help but think about now.’
[Are you sure you want to open the Attribute Shop?]
Siyoon decided to ignore the words in front of him for now.
In the situation where the characteristic ‘God of Dice!’ was obtained, there was no need to open it in a hurry.
Later, after slowly giving feedback on today’s fight, it won’t be too late to open up at that time.
“Wesley?”
He escaped from his thoughts at Iarin’s voice, handed her a note and asked again.
“I would appreciate it if you could tell me.”
“···Okay. But before that, I want to ask you something.”
There, Siyoon raised her hand to block her words.
His gaze reached the end of the site, a motorcycle that was speeding along.
It cut across the warehouse complex in an instant, then turned sideways and stopped in front of them.
And a nervous voice is heard.
“Hey! Am I your shidabari!”
The identity was President Kang, wearing the same sunglasses as Shiyoon.
Then, she frowned as she looked at Ia-rin, who was wearing a fox mask, barding, and even a commando uniform.
“What else is that?”
“Never mind. But how did you know?”
“Your perfect rice cake said to go here.”
If it was perfect, it would have been about Pil-woo.
“Hmm···.”
Saying that good is good, Siyoon sat down in the back seat, and she immediately turned the steering wheel forward.
Soon after, Iarin belatedly shouted at the motorcycle that started quickly.
“Hey, wait…!”
“I think he was just trying to say something?”
“Let’s just go.”
“…?”
He asked as if he had suddenly remembered while riding his motorcycle without saying anything.
“By the way, what day was it today?”
“It’s Saturday.”
“ah.”
2 o’clock on Saturday. Come to think of it, today was the day I promised Irene.
.
.
.
As Iarin got out of the vehicle, someone in front of the hospital ran towards her.
“Arin!”
“You have to stand… kuck.”
Thanks to Kim Seo-ah, who was suddenly embraced, she almost fell back into the vehicle, but she managed to regain her balance.
“Uh… have you been waiting all this time?”
“Good luck, good luck. Because it’s safe… Where, are you not hurt?”
“Oh, you’re fine. Really Wanna see? braided. How are you all right?”
As if she was trying to prove this, she lightly turned around in front of Seo-ah.
Taking off her fox mask and changing into casual clothes, she was so beautiful that she couldn’t be seen as Eugene in a special uniform.
Kim Seo-ah, who was looking at it, panicked for a moment, but soon swallowed her tears and broke the night.
“Ah!”
“If you really do it without saying anything…! I’m really going to get mad!”
“sorry···.”
“Do you know how worried I was?! Imagine that you are in trouble because of me…!”
“Anna. Anna.”
“Not bad! I heard that even Kim Jun-hyeok came! Do you know how dangerous that person is!?”
“Uh… I heard that already.”
At those words, Iarin couldn’t help but shed a shy smile.
It would have been really dangerous if it hadn’t been for a man named Wesley.
With a face that looked like she was going to cry, Kim Seo-ah grabbed Ia-rin’s hand and said, for a while.
“thanks. really···.”
Kim Seo-ah sniffed and sighed.
It seemed very proud of him to hold back tears in front of people, saying that he is now the boss.
“But… how did you really survive? against that monster.”
At that, Iarin felt that he was running out of things to say.
‘How should I explain this?’
The only person who bid for their request is actually a person who uses something similar to a Magic gun, but he is very smart and resourceful, and he is also a person without common sense who knows how to use 7th tier magic. How was he able to subdue Kim Jun-hyeok?
She shook her head.
“I was lucky. A man named Wesley was… very talented.”
“·······? No matter how talented you are…”
Can a nameless serviceman deal with Kim Jun-hyeok?
It was only natural for Kim Seo-ah to look like she didn’t understand.
“I do not know either. but···.”
She smiled unconsciously.
“He was just a very strong and trustworthy person.”
It was the first time Seo Ah saw her expression like that.
“Arin?”
“hit. How about a lesser panda?”
“uh? Uh-oh, the doctor said he passed the hurdle. recovering now. Your daughter just came to her senses…”
“I’m glad. Could I see you now?”
She said, recalling the note from Wesley.
“I have something to tell you.”
She doesn’t know what Wesley meant by delivering this note.
But what is certain is that he is hostile to Choi Jin-seong and needs the help of the lesser panda.
She was very hesitant at first.
As long as he was hostile to the Royal Family, the possibility that he was a member of the resistance could not be ruled out.
If he was a resistance fighter, he could put the lesser panda in great danger again.
‘But···.’
Although it was a short time, the Wesley she saw did not seem like someone who would endanger the red panda again.
‘There…’
Iarin looked at her friend.
She struggled desperately day by day, wanting to escape Choi Jin-seong’s clutches.
‘I don’t know what that person is trying to do, but if it can be of any help to Seo-ah…’
Kim Seo-ah opened the hospital door and answered.
“I’ll have to ask my doctor, but… I’ll probably be fine for a while.”
Iarin nodded and asked as if she had suddenly remembered.
“By the way, what day is it today?”
“today? it’s saturday Why?”
“ah.”
Her gaze turned to her wristwatch.
The hour hand was pointing to 1:00 PM.
Irene’s eyes trembled helplessly.
and after a while
A book cafe on the 2nd floor of the Hanam Library, in front of Hanam Public Facility Station.
She sighed and opened the cafe door.
When Iarin appeared, many eyes were focused on her, but as if she didn’t care, her eyes, shining with blue magic light, quickly scanned the inside of the cafe.
But the person she was looking for was nowhere to be seen.
Iarin checked the time.
2:50. Already an hour late for the appointment time.
Come to think of it, they didn’t even exchange numbers, so it was too late to deliver the note to the lesser panda and run as fast as possible.
She let out a small sigh.
‘… There’s still no way it’s there.’
It was when I was about to go home, blaming myself for being such a fool, fool.
“What are you so late for?”
“…!”
Shocked by the voice she heard, she turned around to see Siyoon Choi standing crookedly there with a book on her side.
‘I thought it was him for a moment…’
For some reason, she remembered Wesley and quickly erased her thoughts.
“Do you know what time it is now? Was he such a person with no concept of time?”
“Why···.”
It was before I could even say why I had waited so long.
He frowned and showed the doll he was holding.
“I heard that there are only a few days left before I go to daycare.”
He quickly handed over the doll to Iarin.
“What if I don’t have this? You can’t do dirty puppetry, can you?”
“…”
As she stared at him without saying anything, she couldn’t help but loosen her mouth.
His tone was brusque, but it was because he could sense that he cared.
“Tomorrow.”
“What.”
“It’s a nursery.”
Iarin looked down at the doll and said.
“That… thank you. Really. I should have contacted you in advance because I had work… Come to think of it, Siyoon-nim didn’t have a number.”
“All right. After all, I had something to do at the library, so I was waiting for it. Anyway, did I deliver the doll?”
And then, without regret, she grabbed his collar as he tried to step away.
There he looked back and asked.
“What is it?”
“In that sense.”
“…?”
“In that sense, could you give me your number?”
“…Are you playing tricks on me right now?”
“Because it isn’t.”
She looked away and tucked her bangs over my ears.
“I’m sorry, how can I just let you go? I’ll buy some rice next time.”
Siyoon, who was staring at her blankly, smiled and declined.
“The rice is done. instead.”
“Yes?”
“Next time, why don’t you listen to my request too?”
“Please?”
“You don’t know about people, do you? Don’t worry. I won’t ask for anything unreasonable.”
He pointed to the high-end watch that Iarin was wearing and said.
“Just, I’ll do as much as I feel sorry for.”
“hahahaha.”
She smiled helplessly and nodded her head happily.
“Yes, then let’s do that.”
‘It took.’
Siyoon smiled inwardly.
He thought that Ia-rin would definitely not let her go.
‘It’s the right to pamper a savior once.’
Isn’t this completely sweet?
‘Iarin has a good temper, so she must be really sorry for me.’
So, let’s just eat as much as we feel very sorry for.
Her shoulders trembled at the momentary tingling sensation she felt.
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh, no. Something just…”
“…? Anyway, I have a job. Then, if we have a chance, we’ll see you next time.”
“Ah, yes, yes.”
Thinking so, Siyoon turned around without regret. Fortunately, she didn’t catch him anymore.
‘It’s a number…’
Of course, there was no way Siyoon could give her her number.
It is possible that all of his call logs and conversations are being intercepted through the city’s cell tower.
‘If it turns out that I’m not someone else but the daughter of the head of the Strategic Planning Office, it’ll be a headache.’
It had been a while since he had left his cell phone in case it could be tracked.
‘This is really annoying in many ways.’
Following a borrowed-name account, he thought about whether he should dig a borrowed-name phone.
There was also a way to create a new identity, but that cost at least a billion units.
‘For now, I have no choice but to purchase a second-name phone as soon as possible.’
Unlike usual, he dragged his heavy body like a wet rag down to the first floor.
Even though it was made of iron, it seemed that it was quite unreasonable to see that the fatigue continued to this extent.
‘The keyword for this special shop might be magic or physical.’
This quest was risky, but there were many things that could be obtained.
First, it has been proven that making bullets bend also works for strong players like Kim Jun-hyeok.
In addition, if you draw magic spells on the floor with bullets or guns, you can cast high-level magic.
However, at the same time, the unreasonably lacking part was clearly revealed.
‘First of all, the body.’
The battle with Kim Jun-hyeok this time would have been a much more difficult fight had it not been for Ia-rin, who was in charge of the tank.
Thanks to the characteristic ‘Bullet Time’, his eyes were able to follow Kim Jun-hyeok’s movements, but his physical abilities were unable to follow them.
This was to catch Siyun’s ankles in the upcoming close battle with the strong.
‘And magical power.’
He had a very good understanding of spells, and it was not a problem to understand and apply complex spells of hierarchical magic.
‘The problem is that my mana is only around 1805.’
He recalled his initial magic stats.
His magic power, less than 2000, was far from enough to use high-level magic.
Because of that, I had to pay for the missing part with my body.
If I went on like this, not even my iron body would be left behind.
Above all, it was necessary to increase the amount of pure magic power.
‘Finally… firepower.’
Not only the firepower of the K36 automatic pistol, but even the ‘barrier knife’, which was used as a revolver’s special bullet, was able to keep Kim Jun-hyeok in check, but did not deliver effective hits.
Of course, it’s more than enough against the idiots, but isn’t it possible that a strong man or a high-ranking monster will pop out of an unexpected place like this request?
However, the fundamental problem with firepower was due to his own engraving technique, which was only inferior to his characteristics.
Since they can only imprint 3rd tier or lower magic on bullets and guns, there is bound to be a limit to their firepower.
‘I’ll have to raise the skill level of lower engraving skills first…’
At that moment, a pamphlet caught his eye as he passed by the library door.
‘This···.’
[An exhibition of masterpieces by ‘Gideon Mark’, a master of magic tools, is coming to you in Hanam City!]
“Hoo.”
Come to think of it, there was a time when, in the first request, when he analyzed the demonic sword of Kwon Ji-hoon, a wanted man, his skill level in the art of engraving greatly increased.
‘Then this exhibition is just a free EXP dungeon for me?’
He turned the pamphlet over. Looking at the deadline, it seemed to be going on for two weeks from next week.
‘I must go to this one.’
Siyoon took the pamphlet without a word.
“Bocchan has come out.”
When he came out, Pil-wu, who was waiting in front of him, approached him.
“Oh, hey, I’m tired. Let’s go back and rest for today…”
“Ah, more than that. I just checked my account and the payment came in.”
The account he was referring to was a borrowed-name account obtained relatively cheaply through President Kang.
“yes?”
Since it was a failure to save the lesser panda externally, he thought that only about 50 million won, the ransom of his daughter, would have been deposited.
“But that…”
Pil-woo carefully showed me the bank account details.
There was a deposit of 120 million won, the amount minus the commission from 150 million.
“…?”
“The client said that even though the request failed, the service was excellent and paid the full amount as compensation…”
“her.”
Siyoon looked up at the second floor of the library where Iarin was still.
If it were others, she would have paid only 50 million won, but her honest personality did not seem to allow it.
She was a woman who did not fit this floor in a good way.
“What is good is good. Let’s make up for your salary first. did i promise I’ll even give you a bonus quickly.”
“Oh! I will continue to be loyal to you!”
He patted the shoulder of Pil-woo, who was bowing down, and he nodded happily.
“Oh no. I am a generous giver to my people. Keep working hard in that position.”
“Is there any?”
Also, gun parts need to be replaced, but it seemed better to take care of President Kang, who usually suffers to some extent.
She said she didn’t need money, but isn’t this a matter of sincerity?
He wasn’t the type to save money on his people.
‘Even if other things are removed, there will be about 100 million left…’
1 million. If less, less, if greater, greater.
Of course, he had no intention of leaving this money in an account.
‘Then how should I roll this now…’
His mind started spinning wildly.
