Chapter 17 - How to Manage Your Connection (7)

 

As it says, if I use it well…

 

It’s an incredible function that can control the flow of the world itself.

 

As a test, I wrote, ‘Kang Nahyun was actually from a family that was famous in the awakened society.’

[Not enough points!]

 

I know, you motherfuckers.

 

…Was it such a ridiculous request? I felt a little hurt.

 

I tried inputting various things into [Story Twist] for no reason.

 

First, treat my sick little brother.

 

‘Treat Kangyoo’s disease’

Still expensive. I clicked my tongue lightly.

 

Next…

 

‘Make Kang Nahyun into a super strong munchkin.’

 

[5000000 points]

 

…It’s needlessly expensive. Even more expensive than changing my origin.

 

‘10 billion won deposited into Kang Nahyun’s bank account from a clean source without tax issues.’

…Sheesh. This was truly disappointing.

 

I just lay down on the bed, staring at the system window that popped up the message [Not enough points!] for no reason.

 

Let’s not do anything useless and take a break, even if only for a moment.

 

The time I take to rest always feels too short. I thought I was lying down for a while, yet it soon became time to head out to prepare for the attack.

 

I quietly packed my gear and headed to the place where the scammer was waiting.

 

The place where Scammer called me was a small, naturally-occurring vacant lot located on the trail near the F-class dormitory, especially when you walk north off the path near the fountain.

 

“Yuhan! Soojung!”

 

Scammer was busy making preparations as if there was something so urgent.

 

Next to him, Choi Soojung was floating in the air and spinning around.

 

“Shh.”

 

Scammer gestured for silence and said quietly while looking down at his watch.

 

“In the next five minutes, there will be a static gate in front of here.”

 

I held on to my gun tightly. Even though I knew I wouldn’t get hurt, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.

 

Finally, five minutes later, the space in front of Scammer trembled and melted into a circle.

 

The open space, about the size of a round door, illuminated a temple-like place. The appearance was foreign, as if a puzzle had been put together incorrectly.

 

Although it’s not the first time I’ve seen the gate, it’s the first time I’ve seen a static one.

 

Before I knew it, Choi Soojung, who was behind me, let out an exclamation.

 

“Oh. It’s true~ Awesome, junior!”

 

“Junior…? Who are you talking about, Soojung?”

 

Pretend not to know. Pretend not to know.

 

The fact that Choi Soojung is actually a senior is a fact that ‘I’ don’t know yet.

 

I made a puzzled expression, tilted my head, and did my best to imitate an innocent thing.

 

“There is such a thingㅡNahyun doesn’t know anything, eh?”

 

I’m shaking to death.

 

Choi Soojung, smiling brightly, flew towards Scammer.

 

“So? What should I do now?”

 

“It’s simple. “We will hunt at the entrance to the dungeon.”

 

“At the entrance? But in a static dungeon, monsters move around inside the gate, right?”

 

It’s quite difficult to pretend not to know something even though you do.

 

I worked hard as a narrative device to have the main character naturally state his plan. I mean, I really need to get incentives.

 

“Right. So we’ll bring the monsters. With this.”

 

With a surprised expression on my face, I looked at the monster core that he had taken out of his pocket.

 

Monsters become stronger as they consume the cores of other monsters. So sometimes they engage in fratricide or covet the cores of other dead monsters.

 

A brilliant green light was shining in his hand.

 

Scammer said with a grin.

 

“This was hard to find.”

 

***

 

After calming down Kang Nahyun, who was shaking, and having her wait in front of the entrance, Choi Soojung and I entered the dungeon.

 

“Nahyun really doesn’t know anything!”

 

“I told you so.”

 

The sound inside the gate is blocked outside.

 

I glanced at Kang Nahyun, who was trembling yet calmly maintaining her posture, and took out the core from her pocket.

 

If that’s the case, there won’t be any big problems. She showed off that sense even in the simulation training, which was her first experience, and an environment like this would be easy for her.

 

“Then, could you please lift me into the air, senior?”

 

“Alright, junior~”

 

When Choi Soojung created wind, my body floated along with it. As soon as we were seen in the air, animals roaring could be heard everywhere.

 

Originally, the plan was to kill only the monsters up to the temple we were going to and report the gate, but after successfully recruiting Choi Soojung, I changed my mind.

 

Wouldn’t the more monsters we catch and the higher our level be, the better?

 

I established a connection with Kang Nahyun through the ‘Party’ function.

 

Well, it’s not like I’m having a hard time.

 

I crushed the green core as I saw a group of beasts running towards us from the other side. The thick reverberations of the monster’s mana spread out in all directions.

 

It’s the core of a first-class sandworm. They won’t be able to stand it without rushing in.

 

The monsters that came in like clouds only seemed like great experience points. The experience gained is sweet.

 

With Choi Soojung’s help, I continued to float in the air and instructed her to herd the mob.

 

“First, please pull the shark rabbit over there out of the ground.”

 

Good luck, main dealer.

 

I will reward you sweetly.

 

***

 

There are so filthily many, really!

 

I shot one after another and cried out.

 

“You Scammer fuckerㅡ!”

 

It didn’t matter since that bastard inside the gate wouldn’t hear it anyway.

 

He says that he’s not having it difficult anyway and just leaves!

 

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

 

Even though I was prepared, I couldn’t help but swear.

 

You Scammer fucker!

 

Fortunately, most of the monsters that came out of this gate had their cores exposed on the outside of their bodies, and thanks to this, I was able to accurately destroy their cores while firing bullets at them.

 

What’s even more infuriating is that when monster corpses piled up and were about to block the front of the gate, Choi Soojung was used to immediately sending wind to clear them away.

 

I understand your desire to gain as much experience as possible. You Scammer bastard!

 

Bangㅡ!

 

With one shot, the core of the shark rabbit’s head shatters.

 

Bangㅡ!

 

And with another shot, the core in the tiger whale’s chest crumbles.

 

Bangㅡ!

 

As soon as they realize that we’re attacking from beyond the entrance, monsters rush to get over the gate.

 

However, because it’s a static gate, they can’t get over the entrance, so they just headbutt their bodies, clearly exposing their cores.

 

Before I knew it, I was shooting my gun mechanically and felt a strange feeling as I saw the monsters dying without stopping.

 

The sight before my eyes brought back bad memories that had been buried deep in my heart.

 

The image of so many people clinging desperately to the barricade and getting shot while clinging to it, which was like hell, occupied my mind.

 

And ‘that person’ who was mixed in and was killed along with them.

 

The gun shakes. In order to adjust the aim, the <100-Shoots-100-Hits> skill was automatically applied. It feels like my mana is draining away on its own.

 

I roughly drank the magic potion that Scammer had given me.

 

…I had an uncomfortable thought. Let’s get to work.

 

I cleared away my distracting thoughts and took care of the remaining monsters.

 

 

After a long time, all the monsters that flocked to the gate entrance became corpses.

 

I quickly used my meta point as I watched Choi Soojung and Scammer descend from the thin air inside the gate.

 

Leveling up and the resulting automatic stat distribution went much better than expected, resulting in higher specs than I expected.

 

“Yuhan, Soojung!”

 

Let’s smile, Kang Nahyun. That’s what you have to do now to survive.

 

“My stats and skills have gone up a lot!”

 

Scammer ran towards me with his eyes wide open.
