Chapter 702 – 702. Fiftyth Skill
Become skilled at Ice Whirlwind. But it’s not fun.
The more you do it, the more you’ll get used to it, but it’s just boring and boring.
Still, I have to do it. You can’t be lazy.
It’s like a swan floating on water, right?
Because if you don’t move your feet under the water, you have no choice but to sink.
By the end of the night, I had finally mastered the Ice Whirlwind.
Ah. Happy. I’m really happy. Hey. I’m so excited. Wow, I’ll go after it.
Phew. There is no sense of accomplishment as before. I guess I’m getting more and more inertia.
Mechanically take a passive and see the coins being deducted. Ugh. A lot goes away.
I also learned Absolute Zero, the hidden skill of Ice Whirlwind. Yes, this is quite useful.
It’s freezing, right? It is important to be able to physically stop movement, even for just a few seconds.
Of course… I don’t know how much I’ll spend… Still, you have to make it easy to use.
Now it’s time to learn ice arrows.
Learn right away. Once you start the ice whirlwind, you have to use your cool-headed judgment to run straight away.
“Ice Arrow!”
A simple attack. Perhaps because it is a low-level skill, it is a truly terrible skill.
Still, it’s not at the level of the terrible ice arrows I saw a long time ago, probably because passive speed is applied.
The ice arrows I saw back then were really… I was wondering if this was a skill.
It seemed like it would be much more powerful to just split the ice and throw it.
I wanted to become more skilled with ice arrows, but I couldn’t because I was hungry.
I need to eat something. However… For some reason, I don’t want to eat alone.
I have to go to the bunker and eat. Ah. I want to eat grilled pork belly.
If you want to eat, you should eat, right? Do I have no meat? Or do you have no one to eat with?
When I returned home, I swung open the living room door and immediately shouted to the gathered Seungmi Se-an.
“Let’s eat grilled meat!”
After saying that and looking at the women, what do you think? Minhee is here too?
Minhee smiles and waves at me.
“Oppa, I’m here just in time. Let’s sit down quickly. Meat is not the problem right now.”
“Huh?”
Mina’s slightly urgent voice. Now that I think about it, everyone seems to be a little tense.
“Why?”
As soon as I sit down, Mina opens her mouth.
“I mastered speaking?”
“Oh. Really? Then the hidden skill must have appeared? What did it appear?”
“The new hidden skill is ‘overclock’. But…”
“Overclocking? That’s funny. What kind of computer is this? But… Ah, I get it roughly. If you roughly substitute a human into a computer… Does that mean it will produce a higher effect than its existing physical capabilities? Hmm…”
“That’s not the point!”
“Huh? Is there something more important than that?”
“Yes. I learned all three hidden skills, right? Lightning reflexes, cool-headed judgment, and overclocking.”
“Uh. But?”
“One more hidden skill has appeared.”
“What? Really? Ah… Is it like the gates of heaven? What is it?”
“It’s a short-term prediction.”
“Eh? Yeji?”
“Yes. After testing, I can see about 1 second into the future.”
“… It’s crazy. It’s going completely to the end.”
Seeing the future 1-second later? What is this… It’s an incredible ability, right?
If you have that skill, you can’t be defeated by anyone. It takes less than a second to use Blink, right?
It’s crazy… It’s crazy. Furthermore, it’s literally a fucking skill.
Although 1 second is a very vague time… Considering that we live in a world where even the slightest gap or momentary inattention can lead to a goal, 1 second is an enormous amount.
“But it doesn’t activate at any time. So… It only appears in cases where the outcome is determined?”
“What do you mean? An event with a decided outcome?”
“Uh… So that’s it. Like a flying rock? That thing has already been thrown, right? The orbit has been set and the location it will fly to is confirmed, right? You can see things like that.”
“Ah…”
“But this isn’t possible. I have to stand in front of the door and decide whether to go outside or go in.”
“Ah. I understand. Wow. Mina, you’re good at explaining things? You look really smart?”
“It’s not that I’m smart, it’s that we all got together and organized it.”
Mina looks embarrassed. Ah. Cute. Just looking at it makes me happy.
Anyway… It’s only natural that Mina is pretty.
Short-term prognosis.
I think I can understand it just by listening to the explanation.
So, even though this is called Yeji, the prediction will be correct.
Lightning reflexes, cool-headed judgment, and overclocking.
If you look at these three skills, that’s true.
Predicting events with a determined outcome using extremely sharp senses and streamlined judgment with a body that is much more advanced than the original ability.
That’s probably what became a skill under the name of short-term prognosis.
But why is the skill called Yeji? I forgot the name. It reminds me.
“Good. It’s an incredible skill. If you have that passive… At least you won’t get hit by projectiles or anything like that.”
“But if the space is small, there is nothing you can do even if you know one second later.”
“That’s right. Anyway, then you learned that too, right?”
“Yes. I am learning that and learning reflexes.”
Among people without combination skills, is there anyone who can beat Mina?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like it will happen, right? It’s impossible to even touch it in the first place.
Those passives are so fraudulent. So I have to learn quickly too.
This means that I can learn if I just master the next six skills.
“Basic skills, Heaven’s Gate skill tree, Want Tree. It would be a good idea to get skills just like this. At least then you won’t get killed by others.”
“We already talked about that among ourselves, but I don’t think that’s true.”
I ask with a curious expression upon SeAh’s words.
“Why?”
“What should I do if my brother asks why? Don’t you know that best? You know that just having a bunch of skills for combat isn’t a good thing.”
“Hmm. That’s right. It’s not wrong.”
Clearly, these skills are not things that can be said to be good.
The effect varies significantly depending on the individual’s personality, tastes, and preferences.
Moreover, the most important thing is imagination.
I don’t know if this was intentional, but the effects that can be achieved with the same skill are very different, right?
“Is the story over? Can I tell my story?”
I looked at Seunghee after hearing her words. Looking at me with a triumphant expression.
“I hit the jackpot.”
“Oh. Really? What do you think?”
“Is this passive?”
“Huh? Really? Then I don’t know exactly what the effect is.”
“Well… I’m not sure, but it seems like it. It’s about getting lucky.”
“Huh? Then it’s the biggest scam, right?”
“I don’t think it’s worth buying that much.”
“It’s good that everything is passive. It means it’s applied all the time. Have you ever used a lottery to win the jackpot?”
“I wrote it, but I didn’t win.”
“Then how do you know you’re getting lucky?”
“Toss a coin. Rock, paper, scissors.”
“Ah… It’s simple, but I confirmed it in the most reliable way.”
“Right. Hehe.”
“So what should I film now?”
“I’m also using the creation skill to want to create oil.”
“Oh. Really? Well… Good. It’s a good idea.”
Anyway, I didn’t know Jackpot was passive. This skill was a skill that didn’t even exist in the studies of the damn bastards.
But it’s passive… Anything is good as long as it is passive. It is definitely a good thing that it is always applied.
At least it’s better than nothing.
But then… Why didn’t Jason’s bunny girls hit the jackpot?
I want to know why. Isn’t it easy to hit the jackpot if you learn any of the five skills?
Ah. You don’t want to go beyond Tier 13? Because of hidden skills?
Or maybe I don’t need to be greedy anymore since I already have enough coins.
Besides, I may be talking about Tier 16 too easily.
Among those who are alive now, only a few have reached Tier 16 or higher. It is by no means a level that can be easily reached.
“Everything’s going well with Se-Ah and Anna, right? Have you mastered making cigarettes?”
“Uh. Now I’m making soju.”
“Me too.”
“Even if it feels like a waste of time, persevere and learn. Then, the moment you learn Wish and Want, you will be rewarded.”
After saying that, I now look at Minhee.
Minhee joins this group so naturally.
Really… It’s like a miracle. Five women are gathered together, and they get along well without fighting.
This is truly amazing. Especially when you think about our relationship.
“Minhee… You seem to be unlocking it.”
“Yes. As you can see.”
A lock in her hand. An object that the women in this bunker took turns mastering skills with.
Minhee is Tier 12? There’s still a long way to go. Compared to Seungmisean, it’s a total bummer.
“Anyway, let’s have dinner. I came to eat.”
“Oh. Now that I think about it, you said we were going to eat grilled meat earlier, right?”
When I nodded my head at Seunghee’s words, Mina smiled and said.
“Then I will prepare. Are you going to eat outside?”
So we rush out and prepare to eat grilled meat.
The gate leading to the kitchen from the outside opens and various utensils are taken out from each person’s storage.
It’s much more convenient than before, so I’m ready to grill the meat in no time and start grilling the meat in earnest.
“But. If Mina uses something like a magma shot to create lava on the floor here, wouldn’t it be like grilling lava?”
“Oh? Like that 3-second pork belly thing?”
Seunghee answers my words with sparkling eyes. That’s the look in your eyes that makes you want to try it.
“Huh. Won’t that work? Anyway, you just have to learn it, right?”
“Wouldn’t something that’s bad for your body come out? I don’t think the magma is that clean…”
Mina looks worried or reluctant.
“But that’s lava in its natural state… Wouldn’t it be different from the magma that comes out of a skill? But well… Even if a problem arises after eating it, it seems like it will be resolved by removing the disease. If that doesn’t solve it, it’ll just return to the state.”
“I just bake it like this.”
“It doesn’t seem that good.”
“Yes. I have no intention of playing with what I eat.”
Mina with a serious expression. It’s hard to push it any further.
Well, Mina is very sensitive about what she eats.
Is it because she was a former idol? She considers the act of eating something very important.
Is it because she can’t eat enough? Because of diet?
“You don’t drink alcohol or anything like that, right?”
As I was erasing the thought of magma roasting from my head, Minhee asked and everyone gave a strange look.
Is it because you remembered the last time you drank?
But actually, nothing much happened, right? Everyone just slept face down without any injections.
“Don’t you guys want to drink 100 million won worth of wine?”
Everyone looks angry at my words.
Pork belly and 100 million won worth of wine may seem a bit odd, but… What do you know? You can drink infinitely anyway.
“I want to try it!”
Everyone follows the brave Seunghee and says that everyone will drink it.
Romanée Conti taken out of storage. Minhee took out a wine glass and poured it nicely like last time.
Women who drink wine while eating pork belly like that.
The reactions… Well, it wasn’t that loud.
Just by looking at them, they look like they don’t know what’s good. But they say it’s expensive, so I keep eating it.
Anyway, even if you eat a lot, one shot at recovery will reset both the drinking and the hangover.
You can eat it in one gulp like that.
“Ah. It’s Mina.”
“Yes?”
Mina’s cheeks turn red. The red color mixed with the pure white face looks quite nice.
And the slightly opened eyes… The atmosphere is a little different from your usual image, right?
“I’m talking about that skill. Overclocking.”
“Are you talking about skills even in this situation? As expected of you, hehe. But why?”
A voice full of mischief. Aww, so cute.
I want to kidnap you like this and strip you of your clothes.
“With lightning reflexes and cool-headed judgment, you’ve confirmed the effectiveness of the skill to some extent, right? What about overclocking? Do you understand exactly?”
“Hmm… I feel like my body has gotten better. I feel like my strength has improved, my flexibility has improved, my agility and everything has improved.”
“But what does that have to do with fire?”
“Actually, reflexes like lightning have nothing to do with real lightning. Cool-headed judgment has nothing to do with ice either.”
“That’s true. But overclocking just because the heat gets worse is a bit ridiculous. Isn’t it because your body heats up more than usual?”
“Yes. I don’t think there is such a thing.”
“There! Instead of just whispering, let’s all talk together, right? It’s against the rules, right?”
When Seunghee spoke with a mischievous smile, everyone looked at me and Mina with similar expressions.
Mina’s already red face seems to be getting even redder. Cute.
They continue to eat grilled meat and drink expensive wine and other alcohol.
I think I like Minhee more than usual.
I guess it’s because it’s been a while since he’s been hanging out in a place like this.
I need to create places like this more often in the future.
Ah. Are you already doing this often except me? When I think about it, that’s right.
I need to participate in events like this more often in the future.
But because of that damn shopping… It’s a little scary to see all five of them together.
You never know when you might be taken away.
