Chapter 131 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is the Hero, the Half Is XXX
Eugene cannot be sure that he can prevent the destruction of the world by growing alone, so if he can strengthen his allies with the hidden pieces he knows that he does not need, he should do so.
As part of this, Eugene was to secure in advance the Heukyeong Shingong, which is of equal importance to the Guyu Shingong among the hidden pieces that exist in the Lina Forest.
‘Of course, I have no intention of just giving it away.’
No matter how much the sub-heroine, Moon Ae-ri, needed to grow, there was no way Eugene would just take this Shingungjeolhak and offer it to her.
Of course, he had a plan in place to use this to definitely attract Moon Ae-ri as an ally.
… No, to be precise, it was secured with the intention of giving it to Moon Ae-ri after he was brought in as an ally, but that’s it, so let’s just move on.
‘With this, Moon Ae-ri has achieved one of the deepest efforts to reach the highest point. There are 2 deep holes left.’
It was Eugene who had grown up with Moon Ae-ri, riding her route and supporting her with all her might, to the point where he was confident that she could win even if she fought Yeon-hwa.
In the first place, if you go the saint route and target heroines, Orbital World is almost like a Princess Maker where you have to develop the heroines rather than the main characters.
Therefore, Eugene, who knows how to grow Moon Ae-ri to her highest point, imagines her in her imagination becoming as strong as the original Moon Ae-ri that he knows, and smiles with satisfaction. It was when there was.
Jiiiii…
“…”
“… “If you want to say anything, you can say it.”
Genos has been casting an extremely intense gaze towards Eugene with his brilliant gaze since a while ago.
Eugene tried to ignore her gaze somehow, but she eventually couldn’t bear it and withdrew her command to keep her mouth shut.
“Master, is that an official policy?”
Genos had also learned basic common sense information after being selected as a warrior. He also studied at the academy for a year and took classes faithfully.
Therefore, Genos clearly understood what martial arts were and what martial arts books were sometimes found in dungeons.
So, it is not strange for Eugene to ask such questions out of curiosity about the military documents he keeps in his space expansion pouch.
“Yes. “Why are you greedy?”
When Yujin asked Genos’ question with the attitude that she had nothing to hide, Genos insisted with her eyes shining even brighter.
“I am my master’s slave, my master’s tool and weapon. So, I think that by becoming stronger, I can become a sharp sword that can be wielded as the master wants.”
Above all, Genos hated that even though he was a slave capable of fighting just like before, he was excluded and only his master, Eugene, participated in the battle.
No, it goes beyond just hating it and feels a physiological rejection that is literally at the level of being denied the meaning of one’s existence.
Therefore, she came to think that she had to become stronger than she is now in order to help Eugene, and because of this, Genos is now greedy for martial arts that Genos would not have been greedy for.
This was because she wanted to become stronger and deal with his enemies on her own without the need for Eugene, the master, to step forward.
“I’m sorry, but this martial arts book is for assassins. That means it’s not right for you. In addition, the owner who will use it has been decided from the beginning.”
“Is that so…”
Eugene, who understood Genos’ psychological state, smiled at her and rejected her wish. Genos lowered his head as if he was regretful, slumping her shoulders.
Like Eugene’s slave, he doesn’t show any more stubbornness and obediently follows Eugene’s intentions.
At that sight, Eugene spoke again as he passed by her to go beyond her boss room and towards her reward room.
“… “First of all, I plan to secure the items for you as quickly as possible, so there is no need to feel so regretful.”
“Ah… ! “I’m just grateful for my master’s blessings!”
With those words, Genos looks at Eugene passing by and follows Eugene, shedding tears of emotion as she is thrilled that Eugene cares about her, her slave.
‘… It’s also burdensome.’
Eugene, who was able to check Genos’ condition through her sixth sense synchronized with her radar, said that she shook her head with a slightly disgusted expression.
+++
Eugene was able to obtain the hidden piece she wanted in the hidden dungeon. Then, together with Genos, she crossed the boss room where the boss she defeated was located and arrived at the reward room.
“Master, shall we retrieve the dungeon core immediately?”
“No, wait a moment.”
When we arrived at the reward room, as expected, the dungeon core called Eugene’s magic ore was in the center, emitting light.
By recovering the magic ore, the dungeon’s raid will be completed, and this hidden dungeon, a subspace type dungeon, will be completely closed.
Before that, Eugene is another hidden piece… Even if it wasn’t to that extent, there was a need to obtain something important.
That’s why Eugene begins to search through the miscellaneous items lying around in the reward room.
“What are you looking for here too?”
In response to Eugene’s behavior, Genos seemed to be questioning the miscellaneous items that he couldn’t figure out why they were in the reward room, tilting his head.
“These items come from multiple dimensions.”
This hidden dungeon was a dungeon with a very weak connection not only to the martial arts world where Yeonhwa was located, but also to the Orbital World and several other dimensions.
And through that connection point, there was also a setting that various items flowed in, like the various miscellaneous items currently piled up like a mountain in the reward room.
“In other words, should I say it’s some kind of transdimensional dump?”
But even among trash, there is treasure. The martial arts book of Heukyeongsingong that Eugene had immediately secured was one of those treasures.
Of course, if there was a treasure as good as the Black Spirit Sword, it would have been used as an item for a dungeon gimmick like the Black Spirit Sword.
The gimmick that trapped those who immediately entered the dungeon in a hallucinatory world was itself a gimmick created by the Heukyeongshingong.
‘To be exact, it is a natural method built around the essence of darkness and bright energy contained in the martial arts book of Heukyeongshingong? ‘You could roughly say it’s something similar to that.’
In other words, the black sphere that maintained the gimmick itself was a different form of the Black Spirit’s martial arts book.
That’s how Eugene regained his identity by attacking the boss.
‘And to put it another way, it means that there are no treasures equivalent to the Black Spirit Art in this dungeon anymore.’
If there was such a treasure, there was a high probability that it would become the center of maintaining the gimmick of the dungeon like the Heukyeongshingong.
However, since the gimmick of the dungeon was only a hallucinatory world centered on the Black Spirit God, it would be true that there were no more items that could be called hidden pieces.
In fact, in the original work, even after gathering all kinds of clues and finding this dungeon, the old people who had acquired the Black Spirit Art searched the dungeon to find another hidden piece, but they could not find anything useful.
‘Of course, it’s not like there was no income at all.’
Since it is a dungeon set up with things flowing in from all sorts of dimensions, should we say that although there may not be a ‘result’ at the level of Heukyeong Shingong, there is a ‘starting point’ to reach that result?
“A garbage dump that transcends dimensions…”
“Yes, in a garbage dump, and among the trash, there are bound to be items thrown away by the original owner without knowing their value.”
Widely! Widely!
And the book that Eugene found while searching around while answering Genos’ question could be said to be one of those items.
“That… ?”
“It’s not something where knowledge can be imprinted in your mind just by reading it like a martial arts book. “The contents inside aren’t that great either.”
However, despite this, it was one of the items that Eugene had to somehow find and take with him whenever he conquered this hidden dungeon in order to obtain the Black Spiritual Art.
‘In some cases, I cleared this dungeon not to obtain the Black Spiritual Art, but to obtain it.’
To that extent, the book Eugene found that had a Western feel, unlike other military books, was none other than someone’s research diary.
-A consideration of the hierarchical relationship between the Middle Hall and Dragon Heart.
This is a research diary written by a wizard who exists in a dimension other than Orbital World, and it was one of the parts needed to reach the highest point if one wanted to walk the path of a wizard as the original protagonist.
‘By bringing this to the academy president, research to create Atom Mana Gymnastic will begin.’
The problem was that in order to complete the research that had been started in this way, it was necessary to go through all sorts of hardships and collect and submit the necessary research materials.
‘Is it just research data?’
In addition, they had to find various elixirs and medicinal herbs, and in some cases, they had to receive help from wizard-type heroines.
In addition, the protagonist himself had to volunteer to become a kind of experimental subject, and in some cases, there was even a risk of death from essence overflow while conducting the experiment.
‘No wonder the best thing about being a wizard is not having a lot of variables.’
Even if all of these are overcome, the research results may turn out differently from what the player wanted, depending on how the academy president sets the direction of the research.
For no reason, it was said that when Eugene played the original game, he was not trained primarily as a magic user but as a martial arts user.
For martial arts, you just need to find the location of the necessary martial arts books and then secure them somehow, but for this magic, you had to go through all kinds of trouble in that you had to develop a new gymnastic for class magic, not circle magic.
‘… Still, I guess I’ll take care of it for now.’
However, even if it was difficult to obtain in the original work, it was not known in the Orbital World, which became a reality.
Since he was able to write as the original protagonist was not the only one who could walk the path of a wizard, he had in mind to secure this research journal as well.
“Besides this…”
Eugene, who took the research journal with him, looked for items that could be obtained in this dungeon that could be sold for money, placed them in the space expansion pocket, and nodded with a satisfied expression.
‘If I sell the magic gemstones and magic ores I collected while conquering dungeons, I can recover it in some way.’
The 12 billion won worth of wealth that was excessively brought in and used to purchase Genos.
Originally, the money would have been used to create an information organization after entering the academy.
Fortunately, the amount of money that could be borrowed immediately was only 12 billion won, and in addition, there was money tied up for investment, and Eugene’s wealth is still growing rapidly thanks to that money.
However, as the expenditure to purchase Genos itself was an unplanned expenditure, it was inevitable that there would be significant setbacks in establishing an intelligence organization.
Nevertheless, fortunately, it looks like we can somehow make up for the loss by conquering this dungeon.
In fact, the money earned through dungeon raids would have been tens of millions of won at best, but the important thing was that right now, Eugene would have tens of millions of won that he could freely spend.
In other words, this time, it can be said that capital was secured by investing through knowledge of the original work.
‘Most of the valuable information has already been used, so it seems like it will take more than half a year this time to be worth tens of billions like last time…’
Where does that alone get you? With that in mind, Eugene, who had finished securing items worth money, gave an order to Genos.
