Chapter 259 – 259. Growth 2
“Heo-eok.”
Eugene is surprised.
Well, that reaction isn’t fresh anymore. A coin you have never seen before has arrived.
“How much?”
“120,000…”
“Oh, you win. Now, come here. Select the plant control you want in the skill window and learn it. This is a grade up gift box.”
He looked bewildered when I bought recovery potions at the store and put a lot of them in Eugene’s hands and pockets.
“Ugh… Ugh. This is a recovery potion worth 2,000 coins!?”
“Ask Seunggyu about how to use it. Next?”
This time, Yeonseo and Miyeon step forward at my words.
I think the way they look at me has softened a little… Well, I’m fine.
Although I stopped talking earlier… Still, I think the meaning was conveyed.
“Who do you want to do first?”
Although they are both older than me, speaking informally has become very natural.
Well, there are a number of people I respect. Like Seung-gyu or Manager Jeong of Pence?
“Starting with me.”
Her younger sister, Miyeon, approaches me.
When I handed him the machete, he took it and deliberately held it within reach of my hand.
Hmm… I guess you don’t have to worry.
“Which guy?”
“Far left.”
As soon as he heard what I said, he immediately went over and stabbed me in the stomach.
Oh. Don’t hit your head?
After nudging him a few times, the man quickly turned into light.
Well, I didn’t free that sister from being captured somewhere. These are women who fought against this world in their own way.
“50,000.”
“Oh wow. Then it won’t be enough?”
“Yes.”
“Kill another one next to me.”
“Okay.”
And then, without hesitation, he stabs the spotted dog in the stomach again.
Hmm… Why does my stomach feel sore?
“A little over 90,000.”
“A total of 140,000? That’s enough?”
“Yes.”
Miyeon approaches me. I also bought her recovery potion and gave it to her.
A woman looking at me with a faint smile. Hmm… It looks good.
“Next. Yeonseo.”
When she handed Mi-yeon her machete back, she took a deep breath and shook her head.
“No. I have something to test.”
“Huh?”
“Can you please move that dog? It’s heavy for me.”
“Huh? Where?”
“This way.”
Then he points under the tree.
“Here?”
Yeonseo nods as I drag the dog and put it down.
He swallowed hard and spoke with a stern expression.
“Control.”
Because it was winter, the bare tree branches moved like snakes.
Like a snake aiming for its prey, the tip of the branch points towards the branch and plunges down at a fairly high speed.
“Ugh!!”
A live tree branch piercing the stomach.
A dog that has been stabbed by a branch screams in pain, but the tape covers it, and it lingers in its mouth.
A tree that repeatedly stabs its stomach twice, three times.
Then the branch stopped and Yeonseo used the skill again.
“Control!”
A tree branch is pulled out and brought down again. Four, five times.
“That… How many seconds does one use last?”
“20 seconds.”
“Master?”
“Yes.”
“Then does it go like this: 5. 10, 15, 20 seconds?”
“Yes.”
A dog screaming in pain while being stabbed in the stomach. Not long after, it became light.
Yeonseo approached closer and gave the coin.
“240,000.”
“Maybe it’s because it’s compressed, so it’s been a while. You said it was growing, right? But how much was the growth? Was it 200,000?”
“Wait a minute.”
He presses the air while saying something for a moment as if checking the skill window.
“200,000.”
“Really? I always wonder why this isn’t 300,000. Anyway, take it too.”
When I gave her a bunch of potions, Yeonseo took them one by one and took care of them.
And so the Yeonseo ended, and then the Democratic Party came out.
“Minju, do you have any skills you want to learn?”
“Well… No. I’m thinking about it.”
“Killing people. You’re not confident, are you?”
Minju hesitates for a moment and then nods.
Okay. This is actually normal.
Just because the world is crazy doesn’t mean we all have to go crazy together.
Of course, the reality is that if you do this, you will soon be left out… Still, this woman entered the fence called the logistics center.
Once she came in… I have to protect it until the end.
Maintaining innocence in this shitty world is… It may be foolish, but I can respect it.
“Then… Kill me instead?”
“No. Even if you’re not confident in killing someone… That doesn’t mean you can just live with it.”
Meanwhile, Minjoo looks at me clearly.
Hmm… I looked so weak. It was my mistake.
“Okay. Now.”
“Whoa.”
Minju grabs a machete and approaches Jjanggae.
Then he stabbed me in the neck.
Ugh. If you stab it like that, the blade will get stuck in your neck bone.
My body trembled as if I felt it too.
The feeling of a blade catching a bone… Honestly, it’s not that good.
I’m not in a good mood. I know that feeling well.
However, no matter how it feels, if the blade reaches the neck bone, it is a fatal wound that cannot be pulled out or struck.
A dog screeching and blood bubbles leaking out through the tape covering its mouth.
In the end, he too became a good light and the coin went into Minjoo who was nearby.
“320,000…”
“Oh, it looks like you were focused on him a lot. Congratulations. You can take pictures of anything. Think about your skills and ask Seung-gyu. When I’m around, you can ask me.”
“Yes…”
“Now. And a gift.”
I gave Minju all of her potions and looked at the dogs.
Two compressed dogs and one who can speak Korean.
Umm… There are three left.
“Seunggyu hyung?”
“Huh?”
Seunggyu approaches me. I asked him that question.
“There are no more masters, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then… Um… Ah. I don’t often get opportunities like this. I’ll do whatever I want for the rest?”
“Oh, of course. You caught it.”
“No, I was wondering if you had any good ideas.”
So I looked at the people gathered.
Umm… What is it?
“You… fireball.”
“Jiwon.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Ugh… Really. I still can’t remember your name properly?”
“I can’t help it. Anyway, what is your fireball proficiency?”
“Advanced 82%.”
“Huh… You posted a lot?
“I use it 20 times every day. Some days I use it more.”
“Okay. That’s a good thing. Then you come forward. Next…”
I continue to look at the remaining people.
Hyeonjeong. Jinyoung’s younger brother. He… What was it? Ah. Okay. Heel. Administrator. Yes, it was a heel. But he’s a bit… Soft.
Seohyun. He was a shield, right? But he’s still delicate. He also passes for now.
Yujeong and Hayul. What are the two… I don’t think I need to do it right now.
“Delay?”
“Uh.”
“What are your skills?”
“Advanced 89%.”
“What do you think? You’ve climbed a lot too, right?”
“People at the logistics center use their skills to their limit every day before going to bed.”
But… It’s been a while since I gathered them. If you use it fully every day, you can master a skill, but it takes 300 days with natural bread. In a nutshell, everyone should master it.
“Okay. You come out too. Next…”
Future. And two young friends. What was it? I really don’t like boys’ names.
Anyway, if you look at how young she is, she is only about one or two years older than Seunghee and Seah.
But why do they look so young? I do not know. Really.
Anyway, let’s take it a little slower. There is no need to burden children too early.
“Uh… Sohee? It’s a shield, right?”
“Yes.”
“What is the skill?”
“Advanced 67%.”
“Yes. Sohee is coming too.”
“Yes.”
It would be better to distribute what is already being done evenly. Not everyone lives like this for the rest of their lives anyway.
“Who am I?”
“You are this guy here. Ah, you fireball. Use it on this guy.”
“Yes.”
So I settled in and used my skills.
“Fireball!”
Whiik boom!
“What do you want?”
A fireball flew quite quickly. And the power to create light in one blow.
“What? Why did you become so strong?”
“Uh… The more I increase my skill level, the stronger I become.”
“Really? This… Is completely different from what you’ve seen before. What was your skill level when you first saw me?”
“At that time… Low-class? Intermediate? Ah. I guess it was low-class.”
“What? You were a low-ranking class back then? Didn’t you even use it 250 times?”
“Uh… Until then, to be honest, I barely used the skill since I learned it…”
But… If you use a skill that doesn’t hit you, it’s a waste of stamina. Yes, but… The difference is too big?
Where are you then? . The fireball used by the bastard in the university dormitory wasn’t that good either… So was it intermediate level?
“Anyway… I thought it was a complete trash skill, but it can still be recycled.”
“Ugh… I regret it too.”
“No. It’s okay if you can kill a person with one shot. But it seems like the range has also expanded?”
“Yes… The ball got a little bigger.”
“Um… Anyway, eat the coins first.”
“Yes.”
Jiwon, who ate the coin, also looks surprised.
“Hehe… 280,000.”
“Because it’s a compressed powder. You won’t be given a potion.”
“Ugh… I understand. I’ll practice every day.”
Jiwon withdraws like that. Hmm… There’s Jiwon on the fence too, right? Well, it’s a common name.
Ah… I have to go there once too…
However, the gap between fireball proficiency is quite larger than expected. Besides, it seems like there is a range.
Hmm… Of course, I have absolutely no desire to learn.
“Next?”
Jiyeon approaches me, smiling at what I say.
Eww… Okay. I’m glad that the discomfort is gone… It’s still a bit like that.
“Which one do you want to kill?”
Which one… Isn’t it too bloody?
“The one on the left.”
Jiyeon gained a reasonable distance. Then he uses the skill right away.
“Lightning!”
A lightning wave spreading around Jiyeon.
Everyone’s eyes widen at the gorgeous appearance.
What? I heard you practice every day. Have you ever seen it?
The left one burns black and dies.
He leisurely approaches, picks up the coin, looks at me and says.
“350,000.”
“Oh. You’re in first place today.”
And Jiyeon returns to her original position.
Umm… That skill is perfect, but how do I use it?
Flying with reflections? No… It would be better to use acceleration and run quickly to erase it.
Then mass murder would be possible.
If you don’t catch the target… The other side has no way to stop it.
Since everyone was dumbfounded, I immediately called Sohee.
“Next Sohee.”
Sohee approaches me and tries to take the machete.
“Ah. Just a moment. Come see Jiyeon again.”
Jiyeon looks puzzled at my words.
“Now… Jiyeon, stand so that the bastard is exactly in the range of your lightning wave.”
Jiyeon stands in her seat.
“Sohee, try using it in front of the shield. So between Jiyeon and Jjanggae.”
“Shield.”
A protective shield was formed in the shape of a hemisphere, and I saw Jiyeon and said.
“Lightning wave. Use it.”
“Lightning!”
Pazzzzzzz
The lightning storm spreads, but the lightning cannot spread inside the hemisphere of the shield.
Also… AoE is blocked by a shield. It wasn’t just about blocking physics.
No… Wait a minute…
“Jiyeon goes in… Seunggyu comes out.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s use an electric shock on that damn bastard where Jiyeon was standing.”
“Electric shock!”
Jjanggae that is grilled as is.
Ah… That’s right. A single target is hit even inside the shield.
“Ah… It’s okay. I’m sorry Sohee. I took away your chance to kill her.”
“Ah. Because he’s not dead yet.”
Then he took the machete from me and stabbed the charred dog that wasn’t dead yet.
The guy who dies right away.
Sohee says as she returns the machete to me.
“Only 140.”
“It’s a bit small. I’ll give you more next time.”
Sohee nods her head once and turns around.
Hmm… The shield somehow blocks all areas.
It’s not as trash as you think. If it’s a reflex shield, you’re supposed to be able to block all skills anyway, right?
Anyway, it’s just a nullification shot… Because invalidation doesn’t hit if you’re flying.
Ah. Then, with the flight reflection shield, you’re almost invincible. In defense.
“It’s all over, right?”
“Ah. Yes. You can all go back. My business is done. And… Seunggyu, let’s talk with me.”
“Okay. Stay in the conference room. I’ll send everyone away, clean up, and then go right away.”
“Yes.”
