Episode 11

“The Unlucky Guy”

As Seongdong grumbled, Jeongmin, who was walking side by side, looked at Seongdong with questioning eyes.

“.. Personnel manager.

“You seem to be on bad terms.”

“That guy is only in charge of human resources, he is the one who is involved in all the material management and practical work of this shelter. He doesn’t understand. He came all the way down and interfered with this and that… Well yes, he can interfere. But what does that guy think about the lives of combatants, every time he’s tottering! Do you know what’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard? Don’t hit. Don’t get hurt, just die. If you get hurt, hospital supplies run out! How can I get along with a guy like that who says that as a joke! He’s the one who objected!”

“…why did you object?”

“Well, the young guy who moved in late must have gotten along well with the people around him and has good abilities, so he must have been upset. How do I know that guy is black?”

Seeing Seongdong speak indignantly, Jungmin smiled.

“Are you laughing? It looks like Kwak Jo-won was filmed.

“…Yes, I’ll have to be careful.”

After talking with Seongdong, I was able to reach the front gate of the shelter in no time.

When I opened the door and went out, the young man I had met at the beginning was still there.

The young man looked at Seongdong and said with delight.

“Oh!

“Nothing special… except for meeting the HR manager, nothing happened.”

“In charge of human resources? Full crew??”

Seongdong nodded, and the young man’s face turned blue.

“If I had to, even if I got caught, I’d be caught by Jojo.. Isn’t it getting worse?”

“If you want to grow up, grow up. Well, what are you guys going to do?

“Ehh…”

Leaving behind the sighing young man, Seongdong held out his hand to Jeongmin and said.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I cleared my debt to the 6th leader.”

Jimin said as he held his hand.

“Thank you so much. Thanks to you, I was able to save Jun-ki.”

“You saved? Did you save the 6th leader? Did the 6th leader live??”

Seongdong said as he pushed away the young man who rushed at him in surprise.

“It’s to the point where you refuse to move into this shelter, so you must have somewhere to go, right? Let’s go carefully.”

“Yes, good bye”

Jung-min opened his inventory and took out a sword.

After greeting the young man, I turned around and walked slowly.

As Jeongmin walked, he looked at the D-level gate across the entrance.

‘…The gate side is quiet… I heard that so many goblins attacked last night… Hurry up and destroy that gate to make the shelter safe…’

Jung-min walked for a while and entered the road between buildings.

‘Now let’s go back to the inventory. As the sun goes down…’

After looking around for a while, Jeongmin summoned the inventory gate and closed it again.

It was to come out here the next time I came out of the inventory.

Jeong-Min, who had designated to open and close the inventory gate to come out, opened the base gate and went inside.

Jung-min disappears into the gate and after a while, a man in a tracksuit appears from the empty air.

The man approached the gate.

“What is this… is this the space movement skill that Manager Kwak said? It seems a bit different from what I thought…”

I tried to push my hand through the entrance of the gate, but I couldn’t go in anymore as I felt it pushing against the hard wall.

And then, the gate slowly disappeared.

The man clicked his tongue once and called somewhere.

Jung-min, who entered the inventory through the base gate, sat down on the floor in dizziness.

“Ugh… I just can’t get used to it…”

A message appeared in front of Jung-min, who sat down and calmed down his dizziness.

[An unregistered user attempts to use the gate]

“yes…?”

Jung-min stared blankly at the message that popped up in front of him.

‘A non-registered user is trying to use the gate? What gate? Are you referring to the base gate you just entered? Who is it? There was no one around..?’

Jeongmin frowned and opened the inventory gate.

“Inventory!”

The inventory gate opened, and the scenery outside came into view through the gate.

Jung-min saw a man wandering around the gate.

“…Who are you? Did you follow me…? When…?”

The man took his phone out of his pocket and started talking to someone.

‘Who are you talking to… I can’t hear you well…’

Jung-min gave up listening to the conversation and used ’emotional eyes’ to look at the man.

The man’s status window appeared in front of Jung-min’s eyes.

[Park Yun-goo

Strength: 9

Stamina: 10

Agility: 11

Intelligence: 17 [mp:22/29]

Holding Gold: 20 Gold

Possessed Skills: Stealth (lv.2) Surprise (lv.1)]

Jung-min looked through the status window of a man named Park Yoon-gu and found out that he possessed a skill called ‘stealth’.

As Jung-min paid attention to the ‘stealth’ skill, a detailed explanation of the skill came to mind.

[Stealth (lv.2): Hides the user’s appearance.]

‘…I guess he used that skill to follow me…’

Jung-min recalled what Seong-dong had said.

-It must be quite annoying since I was filmed by that sneaky guy. Be careful!-

‘…Kwak Jo-won…that person must have sent it…’

While Jung-min was thinking, Park Yoon-goo left after the phone call.

Jung-min thought as he watched Park Yoon-gu leave.

‘… it’s ‘stealth’… I have to be careful…’

Jung-min closed the inventory gate when Yoon-goo Park disappeared from sight.

As the light streaming in from outside disappeared, the Inventorian went dark.

“…Tomorrow, I’m going to decorate the inventory a bit… I’ll install lights and secure a place to sleep…”

Jung-min muttered while looking inside the inventory where all the items were piled up, and moved to Leah’s inventory using clairvoyance and space movement.

The gate was already open in Leah’s inventory.

Through the gate, I saw Leah, squatting in a small chair with a campfire lit.

Seeing Leah staring at the bonfire with her knees embracing her, Jung-min also felt dazed.

‘beautiful..’

Jeongmin stared blankly at Leah for a moment.

‘Ehh. What are you doing? Leah is waiting…’

Jeongmin woke up and used the space movement skill while staring at Leah’s backside.

Jung-min, who appeared behind Leah, sat down.

Leah looked back and was very happy.

“Jungmin! You’re here!”

Jung-min said to Leah, enduring the dizziness that came over him.

“Yes, Miss Leah. I’m here. Wait a minute… I’m still dizzy…”

Leah patted Jung-min on the back lightly.

“If you keep fighting, you’ll get used to it. It would be nice if you could use a skill that removes status ailments, but… I think it’ll be more helpful for Jung-min-ssi to get used to it.”

“It’s okay Leah. You’re much better now.”

Jungmin stood up.

Jeongmin shook his head to get rid of the dizziness and looked at Leah.

Unlike when I saw it through the inventory, Leah’s body when I saw it up close was covered with dirt all over.

“Uh… Leah? You’re all covered in dirt. What happened?”

At Jung-min’s words, Leah blushed and said.

“That… it was buried in the ground in the previous battle… it came out right away… but it was covered in mud… I was going to wash up and come back, but the time I promised with Jeong-min was over…”

“Ah…I see. You must feel very uncomfortable. Then, would you like to wash up first? Where do you wash up?”

“…Originally, it was just anywhere… since there is no one else in this world but me… if there is a place like a stream, I can wash there, but I searched for this place, but there was no place like a stream. So I just summoned water with my skill and washed. Done..”

Looking at Leah, who spoke shyly, Jung-min said.

“Ah…then…I’ll arrange a place for you to wash up. Please wait a moment.”

After Jung-min asked Leah to open the inventory gate, he opened the base gate and went back into his inventory.

After collapsing on the floor and getting dizzy, Jung-min started packing things into the space expansion bag Leah gave him.

Jung-min came out to Leah’s place again through Leah’s inventory.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Beetle.

I was dizzy from the aftereffects of the dimension shift, but I managed to endure it.

‘It feels like I’m getting used to the feeling of dizziness as I keep moving. Again, repetition is the best’

Jung-min took out a camping shower booth from his bag.

‘You did a great job preparing the camping equipment..very useful’

Jung-min installed a one-touch shower booth at a distance from Leah’s tent.

“You can go in here and wash up.”

“H…here?”

“Yes, if you close the zipper like this, you won’t be able to see it, so don’t worry.

“Rain or soap? Yes, I have.”

Leah took out a bar of soap from her inventory and showed it to Jeong-min.

“..I bought it at a store. Originally, only rich people and nobles could use it..”

Jung-min accepted the soap Leah gave him.

‘…Laundry soap looks better than this…’

Jung-min handed the soap to Leah and said.

“This soap looks good, too… but why don’t you wash it with what I’m giving you? Our world is a world where these household items have developed a lot, so Leah will definitely like it.”

Jung-min opened the bag and took out shampoo, conditioner, body wash and foam towel.

Leah stood bewildered after accepting the shower items Jung-min gave her.

Jung-min briefly explained to Leah how to use the supplies and pushed her into the shower.

“Please wash up and come out. I’ll prepare some dinner.”

“Ah yes…”

Leah went into the shower and zipped the door closed.

Soon there was a rustling sound from inside.

Jung-min went to the front of the tent and started preparing dinner.

After taking out two portable gas stoves from my bag, I put bottled water in a pot and started boiling it.

When the water started to boil, Jung-min took out two ramen noodles and put instant rice in the other pot.

Taking the kimchi out of the bag, Jung-min sniffed the kimchi.

‘Is it because of the preservation magic? The kimchi is still raw. If you put it in your inventory, you won’t be able to eat it.’

When the ramen was all boiled and the instant rice was taken out and set, the zipper of the shower booth opened.

Leah said to Jung-min, wiping her wet hair with a towel.

“I think the things in Jung-Min’s world are really… so amazing! It’s such a refreshing feeling… It smells so good and your hair doesn’t clump. How can you make something like this?”

Jung-min stared blankly at Leah, who was walking by, and froze for a moment.

Leah walked over and called Jung-min.

“Mr. Jeongmin?”

Jeongmin barely came to his senses and said to Leah.

“Ah…what did you just say?”

“I think the bath products Jung-min gave me are really good.”

“As I said, our world makes such household items very well.

Leah opened her eyes and said.

“Really? Really?”

“Of course. I have a few more in my inventory. And if it’s not enough, I can buy it at the store later. I heard that the store sells all the items that can be bought normally?”

Leah nodded.

“Yes, if it’s a normal circulated item, it’s all sold the same at the shop. In addition, you can buy skills and items.”

“So don’t worry. I’ll work hard to collect gold.”

Jeongmin smiled and even set the table.

Leah saw Jung-min’s ramen and liked it very much, and the two started having dinner together.

Leah, who had eaten kimchi for the first time, was very interested in the taste and ate it deliciously.

After the meal, the two sat face to face with a bonfire in between.

Leah said to Jung-min.

“Today, I will tell you about stats. Stats are strength, stamina, agility, and intelligence. There are four of them. You know that, right?”

Seeing Jeongmin nod, Leah continued.

“Strength stat literally means strength. If you raise the strength stat, you can lift heavy objects, and the attack power using weapons will increase. You can think that the more you raise the physical stat, the harder your body becomes. And if you raise the dexterity stat, your body becomes nimble and your body vision increases.

Lastly, if you raise your intelligence stat, you will increase your attack power and utilization rate by skill and increase your mana reserve. These four stats are all important, so I can’t neglect anything.”

After listening to Leah’s explanation, Jung-min took out a can of Coke from his bag and handed it to her.

“thanks”

Laughing and taking a sip of coke, Leah continued her explanation.

“It can be said that raising these four stats is the most important thing. There are many items that have the option of increasing stats, but in the end, the most important thing is the body’s stats. The stats that items raise eventually have their limits.”

Leah grinned at Jung-min, who was listening attentively to her words.

“There are a total of four ways to raise stats.

First of all, you probably already know about uploading using items. Then there are ways to kill monsters. Have you ever hunted goblins?”

Jimin nodded and said.

“Yes… while escaping around the D-class gate…”

“Yes, if you catch a monster like that, your stats go up. Although the increase isn’t huge. Oh, of course, if you catch a high-rank monster from a high-level gate, it goes up considerably.”

Jung-min recalled the stats he had raised when he captured the goblin.

Leah’s explanation continued.

“The third method is to destroy the gate. By destroying the gate, you can raise quite a lot of stats at once. And… the last method is… training.”

Jungmin said.

“Are you talking about how to raise your stats through repetitive exercises?”

Leah nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. It’s also the way to raise stats that Jung-Min-ssi should pay most attention to in the future.”

Jung-min said, recalling the training he had at the spring.

“Hmm… I also tried to raise my stats through repeated training… but it didn’t seem to be very effective? Wouldn’t it be more effective to hunt monsters?”

Leah said with a laugh.

“With such general training, the effect of increasing stats is bound to be insignificant. What I’m talking about is… well… should I say training that uses extreme strength?

“Extreme power?”

“Yes, it’s a method that Master devised… It’s a way to dig into loopholes in the status window system…”

“…?”

Leah thought for a moment as if it was difficult to explain, then started talking again.

“People tend to exert more power than they have in extreme situations. Did you know?”

Jung-min nodded, remembering a video of a mother lifting a child out of a manhole with one hand a while ago.

“Um, I think I’ve heard of it.”

“If you train with that extreme power drawn out, the status window system…what can I say, misunderstood?”

“Are you mistaken?”

“Yes, I guess you could mistake the power of the owner of the status window. Huh? His average strength and physical strength are higher than this?”

“…Well..?”

As Jeong-min frowned as if he didn’t understand, Leah said in frustration.

“Ah, if Master explained it to me, he would have explained it well… Anyway, if you train with extreme strength for a certain period of time, the status window will mistake the extreme strength value for the stats of the owner of the status window. So that’s what I mean. Stats are increased and calibrated… It’s a way to raise stats by taking advantage of the loopholes in such a system… Do you still have a hard time understanding…?”

Jimin shook his head and said.

“No, roughly… I understood it very roughly. But… such a loophole in the status window system? How did you find such a loophole?”

“Our master has been the most famous swordsman on the continent since before [Trial of the Gods], and at the same time the most prestigious scholar.

“Ah…I see…a bug in some kind of game…”

“Game? Bug?”

When Leah tilted her head, Jung-min waved her hand and said.

“Oh, no. It’s a word used in our world. But… such a bug, no, such a loophole in the system… I think it’s too lax.”

“Master also expressed the same question, but… Well, I guess not all ‘gods’ are perfect. Seeing that Jung-Min moved to this place after moving to another dimension, doesn’t it feel a little flimsy?”

“That’s true, but…”

“I don’t want to think too deeply. [Trial of the Gods] is over anyway… As for the details, when Master returns after clearing [Trial of the Gods], you can ask him properly then.”

Jung-min got the feeling that Leah wanted to end the conversation on this topic.

‘Miss Leah… must be anxious…’

Jung-min naturally changed the topic.

“Then let’s talk about training using the extreme power again? What kind of training is it?”

At Jung-min’s question, Leah smiled again and started explaining the training.

While listening to Leah’s explanation, Jung-min was immersed in other thoughts.

‘…why does [Trial of the Gods] have so many loopholes..?’
