Level 1 Player

Chapter 97 growth

After the Lunar New Year holiday, Hyunseong sent a note to Guest.

He asked me to hire him because he had to discuss future updates and business progress.

Of course, he didn’t just find a guest for that reason.

‘How the hell do you write it?’

An option attached to the Mythic Skill Breath of the Black Lightning God.

It was to figure out a way to borrow some of the power of the Black Dragon God.

-Employer Gespit has applied for the employment of mercenary Choi Hyunseong. Accept?

-[Yes No]

As soon as I sent the note, an application for employment flew in.

‘You must have been playing a game this time.’

Hyunseong immediately clicked yes and moved to the guest dimension.

Shoo!

‘what?’

As soon as he crossed the dimension, Hyunseong frowned.

A pungent smell pierced the tip of his nose.

‘Where are you?’

It was not the place where Guest usually summoned Hyunseong.

“Are you here?”

The guest was wearing clothes that looked like work clothes instead of the usual flashy attire.

Dark dwarves of tall stature who looked like demon realm craftsmen were swarming around.

“Yes, Gespit-sama, but here… … ?”

“Didn’t you stir-fry me to keep making improvements! So, I was doing research on improving the gem of exchange.”

At the guest’s words, Hyunseong was relieved inside.

‘Still, you are working to some extent.’

After finishing 4th in the sxkxxt contest, he said he was going to be the winner of the next contest, and he was absorbed in the sxkxxt, but now he seems to have come to his senses.

“You have finally started working. Fortunately, the.”

“What luck? Do your job and go back.”

Guess Pitt waved his hand in annoyance.

“Yes, I understand. Once in Li x G… … .”

Hyunseong talked about the upcoming update schedule and event schedule.

“Are you done?”

“Yes, do you agree with Gespit?”

“To agree. And from now on, you don’t have to come and tell me. You just have to do it yourself and notify the progress by e-mail in advance.”

“all right.”

Hyunseong hesitated for a moment after answering.

Guest gave a puzzled expression.

This is because Hyunseong, who would normally have gone away as soon as the business was over, was still there.

“Once the business is over, what are you doing without going right away? Shall I cancel the job and send it directly to you?”

At the guest’s words, Hyunseong quickly opened her mouth.

“This time, I got a myth level active skill, and I have a question for you.”

“Why? Did you mean that you couldn’t use the power of God as you please?”

Hyunseong was taken aback by Guest’s words.

“How did you know? Maybe Guest too?”

“I am not! From the moment I learned the skill, I was able to freely use the power of God!”

The guest screamed in annoyance.

“Ah, it was. Then why can’t I?”

At Hyunseong’s words, the guest burst into laughter.

“It is because of your lack of will.”

“Are you willing?””okay?”

“Should I take more mental strength stats?”

“It’s different from stats.”

“Did you ever think that my willpower was weak?”

At Hyunseong’s words, Guest thought for a moment.

“Have you ever experienced a situation in which you desperately needed the power of God after you acquired the skill?”

“Isn’t there?”

“Obtaining a Mythic level skill means that you are qualified to borrow the divine power mentioned in the skill description. If you give me the qualifications, then you will have to take the power of the gods on your own.”

“Are you going to steal it?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Guest nodded.

“It would be convenient to think that way. Just because you’re qualified doesn’t mean they’ll hand over their powers to you on their own.”

“It seems that God really does exist.”

Gespit called the gods them.

“Of course there is. I don’t know if those gods are the kind and compassionate beings that ordinary humans think of.”

“thank you for telling me.”

“It’s nothing. If you know, stop and go back.”

“all right. Then come on.”

Shoo!

After a short greeting, Hyunseong returned to her original world again.

‘I will.’

It was an answer he hadn’t thought of.

‘I mean, you have to think of it as stealing, not borrowing.’

Once I knew the way.

Then it was enough to move accordingly.

* * *

Hyunseong glanced at the blackbird playing in the muddy bathtub.

Blackbird swam freely in the bathtub like a water snake.

‘Will this one work for me?’

Blackbird is a legendary level monster.

But it’s still just a newborn baby.

Hyunseong can’t read Blackbird’s status window.

However, the fact that it would only be level 1 was easy to guess.

Blackbirds have never hunted with their own power yet.

I just ate the monster corpse and magic stones that Hyunseong gave me.

‘Let’s test it.’

Hyunseong opened the purchase window and purchased 100 Elixir of Minor Agility.

In the past, Hyunseong would not have been able to use it for testing because it was a waste.

But not now.

“Come on, let’s eat.”

As soon as Hyunseong finished speaking, Blackbird quickly approached him and opened his mouth wide.

‘I hear the sound of eating like a ghost.’

Hyunseong smiled and threw an elixir of lowest agility.

gulp!

Blackbird swallowed the elixir of the lowest level of agility in one bite.

‘It doesn’t seem like they don’t like it.’

Hyunseong continued to throw the elixir of agility.

Blackbird was excited and swallowed the Elixir of Agility.

Hyunseong wasn’t usually the owner of a lot of food.

He gave him just the right amount for his physique.

But not today.Feeding continued, the blackbird was very excited.

“Now play.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Blackbird got excited and started swimming in the bathtub.

‘It works.’

A satisfying smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips, who was observing such a black man.

‘It’s a lot faster.’

The mobility of the blackbird swimming in the bathtub increased significantly.

This meant that even the monster, Blackbird, could fully accept the effect of the Elixir.

‘great.’

Hyunseong has purchased all of the other low-end elixirs.

“Come on, let’s eat.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Blackbird opened his mouth again.

This glutton water snake never refused to feed.

Hyunseong fed all of the lowest-level elixirs to Blackbird.

There was no dramatic change in appearance like the human Hyunseong.

However, I could definitely feel that Blackbird had gotten stronger.

Hyunseong fed the black man, starting with the lowest general grade elixirs and even the highest grade Shinhwa grade elixirs.

As a result, the black… … .

Left ah ah ah!

He was playing with the water in the bathtub at his own will.

‘I said that you like water, was it a water-type monster?’

Blackbirds exercised dominance in handling water freely.

There was nothing bad about Hyunseong.

“Baby, do you want to go hunting?”

At Hyunseong’s words, the black man jumped out of the bathtub.

After that, he wrapped Hyunseong’s wrist as if it was his seat.

And Hyunseong headed to the Blue Drake Dungeon.

* * *

– Aaaaaaah!

Blue Drake let out an angry roar and came close to Hyunseong’s nose.

Hyunseong lightly swung his left hand.

Whik!

The blackbird that was staying on Hyunseong’s wrist with him protruded like memorization.

Kwajik!

Blackbird bit Blue Drake’s nose.

He then digs into the Blue Drake’s body and eats the flesh.

– Kyaaaaah!

Blue Drake groaned and spewed out his blue lightning.

However, the lightning emitted by Blue Drake had already come under Hyunseong’s control and only harmed the owner’s body.

Hyunseong calmly watched the blackbird hunting.

woo woo woo!

The body of a large blue drake fell to the floor.

Blackbird hunted Blue Drake in an instant.

Although Hyunseong’s help was there, it was a truly remarkable achievement.

Blackbird didn’t just eat flesh to kill Blue Drake.

He used his free dominance over the water to disrupt the blue drake’s bloodstream.

‘Great.’

A bright smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips.

It was worthwhile to feed the elixir.

‘Let’s level up as soon as possible.’

The best way to level up is by catching higher level monsters.

Of course, physical growth was also important as they were not yet born.

‘Maybe this too?’

Hyunseong tried sneakily using the book of gluttony.

Kwajik!

But nothing changed.

‘No way.’

Hyunseong defended the Blue Drake’s attack, but that’s all.

Hunting the Blue Drake was black, and Hyunseong only indirectly helped the hunt.

For that reason, it was not recognized as a direct hunting.

‘I can’t help it.’

Hyunseong tried to erase his regrets.

In fact, if this kind of interference had been recognized as direct hunting, Russia would not have passed the Book of Gluttony to Hyunseong.

‘Let’s move on to the next thing.’

Hyunseong went home.

Fortunately, all the people Hyunseong wanted were gathered in the house.

Lucia was reading a genre novel and his father and Baek Woo-shin were watching a baseball game.

“Lucia, take this.”

Hyunseong handed over an item to Lucia.

“A spirit stone?”

Lucia looked at Hyunseong with a puzzled expression.

“Try it once. I got a fat guy with this.”

Hyunseong passed the Spirit Stone to his father and Baek Woo-shin as well.

It is an item worth hundreds of billions of points, and Hyunseong was also worried about it a lot at the time of purchase.

But not now.

Hyunseong He had enough points to give not only to himself but also to those around him.

“Um, can I say yes?”

My father used a spirit stone with that horse.

Crisp!

The spirit stone shattered and wrapped around his father’s body.

But no matter how long I waited, nothing changed.

‘It’s crazy.’

For Hyunseong, I couldn’t help but feel sad.

“I’ll try too, bro!”

Baek Woo-shin burst out a bright smile and used the Spirit Stone.

Crisp!

Again, the stone of the spirit was shattered and wrapped around the body of the white cow god.

Fortunately, this time there was a response.

simplicity and honesty! simplicity and honesty!

A yellowish-brown light began to bloom around Baekwooshin’s body, and it began to coalesce.

What appeared after that… … .

“It’s a turtle!”

it was a turtle

The excited Baekwooshin hugged the tortoise and rolled over the floor.

‘I don’t know what spirit it is, but I got one.’

One blunder, one success.

Hyunseong turned to Lucia.

“Ugh.”

Lucia used the Spirit Stone with a slightly burdensome expression.

Crisp!

The shattered spirit stone wrapped around Lucia’s body.

‘Is it bang?’

Although time passed, there was no significant change.

Whoa hey!

A gust of wind blew in the room where there was no wind.

And it changed into the form of a horse with a huge body.

“Scott!”

A bright smile spread across Lucia’s face.

‘Successful.’

3 were used.

Two of them were successful.

‘The probability of success is higher than I thought.’

A bright smile appeared on Hyunseong’s lips.

“Have you both signed a contract? First, go to the dungeon and check what kind of spirit it is.”

“all right.”

“Okay, bro!”

Lucia and Baek Woo-shin, who vigorously answered Hyunseong’s question, went to the dungeon after preparing to go out.

“… … .”

Hyunseong’s father, Hyeonggyu Choi, who was suddenly left alone at home, got up and took a can of beer from the refrigerator.

Then again, I focused on the baseball game.

But oddly enough, baseball didn’t feel as fun as it had just been.

The inside of the empty house felt sluggish for some reason.

“Take me too.”

Even if the contract with the spirit fails, can’t we go to the dungeon together?

* * *

After coming to the dungeon, the attributes of the tortoise-shaped spirit of Baekwoo God and the horse-shaped spirit of Lucia were quickly revealed.

The spirit that Baek Woo-shin made a contract with had the earth attribute.

‘You have a good temperament.’

Baek Woo-shin is an original tank who devoted everything to defense.

Baek Woo-shin and the Earth Spirit boasted a perfect breathing.

The spirit that Lucia made a contract with had the wind attribute.

Thanks to that, Lucia’s mobility increased, and he was able to unleash a more elegant swordsmanship.

In particular, Lucia loved the spirit by giving her the name Scott.

Like Hyunseong’s fat, Lucia’s Scott had the appearance of an animal he had raised in the past.

‘I’ll have to send one to those guys too.’

Hyunseong decided that he should give each one of the Spirit Stones to Inukuso in Japan and the Magician in China.

Anyway, if you’re a nerd, it’s easier to eat something that’s even a little stronger.

‘Shall I try it again?’

Spirit Stone can be reused.

However, the chances of success were slim.

It is because it was stated in the reviews of purchases that it is quite rare for a person to have two attributes.

‘Let’s try it.’

Even if it went back to failure, the damage was enough to bear.

Hyunseong bought a Spirit Stone.

used after that.

Crisp!

The spirit stone broke and wrapped around Hyunseong’s body.

Whoops!

A red flame flashed with him, revealing himself to Hyunseong.

-Successful in summoning the spirit of fire.

‘Successful.’

I thought there was a high probability of wasting points, but I succeeded.

The flashing flames turned into the shape of a dog.

-Woof woof!

As if he was happy, he wags his tail and rushes at Hyunseong.

‘I’ve never had a puppy?’

Tungi was the first and last pet to keep.

‘uh?’

However, the appearance was very familiar.

‘It looks like Deokgu, the one her grandmother raised.’

He was a guy who looked just like the country mutt Deokgu.

-The Spirit of Fire has requested a contract with player Choi Hyunseong. Do you want to accept it?

-[Yes No]

Hyunseong chose yes.

A single flame emanating from the spirit of flame was entangled with Hyunseong’s magic power.

“Nice to meet you, Deokgu.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Deokgu ran to him and gave him aegyo.

“Fat.”

Hyunseong also summoned Tung.

“Let’s try a joint attack together.”

At Hyunseong’s command, Fat looked at Deokgu with a fat expression.

Deokgu also looked at Tungi with a thick expression on his face.

But a command is a command.

Two spirits rushed towards the monster.

– Nyaan!

-Woof woof!

On the surface, they were just a fat cat and a country mutt.

However… … .

Hold on!

Whoops!

The joint attack the two guys showed was truly terrifying.

‘The attack power is definitely not enough.’

Unlike the Breath of the Black Lightning God, the Book of Fire was not applied to all skills.

Deokgu was able to use the Breath of the Black Dragon God as it was Hyunseong’s skill.

However, the efficiency was not very good.

“Deokgu, can you make up your body with this?”

Hyunseong said, pointing to the flames fluttering over each other.

-Woof woof!

Deok-gu answered vigorously and became one with the Book of Flames.

‘It’s good.’

There was a worker who would actively utilize the Book of Flames when a melee battle broke out.

‘Shall we try another one?’

Just in case, Hyunseong bought another Spirit Stone and tried it out.

Crisp!

However… … .

‘It’s crazy.’

It looks like you’ve been greedy too much.

‘I can’t help it.’

Hyunseong finished the test and left the dungeon.

* * *

‘I need to increase the effect of the monarch’s flag more.’Hyunseong has accumulated achievements through hunting and continued to increase his stats by using the options of the Book of Gluttony.

In particular, the 1st S×K×T Competition played a very large role.

Because I was able to significantly increase all stats.

Thanks to that, the leadership stats increased in large numbers.

In the meantime, he accepted rankers under his command and his leadership stat, which had almost hit the bottom, exceeded 3,200.

‘If the leadership stat is 3,200, the effect of the monarch’s flag can be increased by 1%.’

You can increase the buff effect from 6% for a long time to 7%.

‘To do that, we need low-level players who have not completed their 1st job change.’

Hyunseong headed straight to the headquarters of the Immortal Guild.

In the past, Hyunseong had to contact each other.

But he didn’t have to do that now.

“You want 300 low-level players from around the world with high growth potential?”

At the question of guild leader Kang Seon-young, Hyunseong nodded his head.

He accepted the rankers quite a bit, and in fact, it didn’t matter if there were less than 300.

However, if there were talents with high growth potential, I was thinking of accepting them as my subordinate even if there were more than 300 people.

“Yes, but you must be a player below level 50 who has not completed the 1st job change.”

“May I know why you need them?”

At the words of Guild Leader Kang Seon-young, Hyunseong explained the option effect of the monarch’s flag.

“So, at that time, the kill squad consisted of players who did not complete their first job change.”

Guild leader Kang Seon-young shook his head as if he knew now.

Hyunseong’s past actions are now understood.

“Yes.”

“all right. Then, we will set a quota for each branch and instruct them to publish the report.”

“Please keep your quota as large as possible.”

“Are you as generous as possible?”

“Yes.”

“Didn’t you say you only need about 300 people?”

“If the recruitment pool is too small, talented people will drop, and relatively low-skilled people might be nominated, right?”

It doesn’t matter if you’re only going to pick it up in Korea.

However, as it covers the entire world, there is inevitably a difference in the skills of candidates depending on the capabilities of each branch.

For example, what if only three candidates were selected from each branch?

The person who was missed out on the American branch may have more skills than the three candidates for the Greek branch.

“There is no need to strike a balance between the branches. To put it bluntly, it doesn’t matter if all 300 people are selected from the branch with the best skills. Please evaluate only by your possibilities and skills. I will actively support the selected personnel.”

“all right.”

According to Hyunseong’s instructions, Guild Leader Kang Seon-young allocated a generous quota to each branch.

As a result… … .

There was outrage all over the world.

* * *

The White House in Washington, D.C., USA.

President Wilson called an emergency meeting.

“ Choi Hyunseong chooses low-level players to take over?”

“Yes, President. We also promised massive support.”

President Wilson’s question was quickly answered by the president of the American Players Association.

“They are trying to plant their own followers in each branch.”

“I think it is highly likely. The people Choi Hyunseong trust the most are not just guild members, but players who come under his control.”

“Well… … .”

After thinking for a while, President Wilson opened his mouth as if he had made a decision.

“Call the low-level players with the highest potential for growth across the United States.”

“If they become the limbs of Choi Hyunseong player, wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

The President of the Players Association of America expressed concern.This is because Joseph, who was appointed as the branch manager of the American Immortal Guild, was unusual in his words and deeds.

The number one player in the United States is Joseph.

He was a person who moved for the national interest of his country, the United States.

However, recently, there has been an increase in cases of subtly representing the interests of the American branch of the Immortal Guild.

It wasn’t serious.

But there were also concerns.

“But you can’t miss this opportunity, can you? You mean the whole world? Is there no limit on the number of people?”

“That’s right.”

“ Choi Hyunseong said that it doesn’t matter if he selects all 300 people from one branch himself? What if we send the chaff and the Russians or the Chinese send the best?”

The president of the American Players Association could not refute President Wilson’s words.

“The new players under the control of Choi Hyunseong will receive huge support and buffs and will continue to grow. Look at the Korean exterminators.”

All of the Hat Chick Killing Squadrons, who could not even change their first job, are now over level 200.

It was the result of Hyunseong’s massive support, their desperate efforts, and the option effect of the monarch’s flag.

Experts were predicting that the Korean exterminators would become rankers at the earliest in three years, or as long as five years.

“If the president’s words are true, our player power in the United States will lag behind, and the player power in Russia and China will increase significantly.”

The president of the American Players Association answered with a gloomy expression.

“That’s it. Anyway, Choi Hyunseong is a trend that is hard to resist. First of all, it is important to get ahead of Russia and China.”

“all right.”

At the direction of President Wilson, the president of the American Players Association quietly resigned.

After that, he searched all over the United States to find low-level players with high growth potential.

Choi Hyunseong, the player, is out of the question.

That was the conclusion of the United States of America watching the Orc Lord and Hyunseong duel.

And that conclusion was not much different in other countries as well.

China, Russia, Germany, France, India etc… … .

Countries around the world were busily moving to find low-level players with a higher potential for growth.

An untimely player audition craze has swept around the world.

It was a great opportunity for players who had just awakened or had not yet completed their 1st job change.

A large number of players gathered so that the work of the player associations of each country was paralyzed in an instant.

Player associations in each country selected those with high growth potential from among them and sent them to the Immortal Guild branch in their country.

Also, among those already belonging to other guilds, he persuaded those with high growth potential and sent them to the Immortal Guild branch.

* * *

“There are too many of these.”

Shin Yoona frowned and looked at the pile of papers piled up like a mountain.

The list of players who arrived at the headquarters of the Immortal Guild after filtering 300 people exceeded 30,000.

“I think we had too many people expected.”

“Whew! It is not. But what can I do, I have to check everything.”

Guild leader Kang Seon-young let out a long sigh and rushed to her pile of documents.

It was her turn to narrow the 30,000-plus roster to 300.

“But what will those who are eliminated do?”

“Everyone should be accepted as members of the guild.”

To Shin Yoon-ah’s question, the guild leader Kang Seon-young answered as if he was asking such a natural thing.

“ The number of people that can enter under Mr. Hyunseong is 300, right?”

“But you can’t just throw away the rest.”

Candidates selected and selected from all over the world.

Right now, he’s just a low-level player, but if enough investment is the basis, there is a high possibility that he will grow into a ranker who will make a name for himself in each country.

“If we accept everything, the investment cost will not be too high… … .”

“Don’t worry about money.”

The income that the Immortal Guild earns for a year from its headquarters and branches in each country is comparable to the finances of any small country.

Besides, isn’t the owner of the company very rich?

“Since the advisory chairperson said that all profits from European dungeons are reinvested in the guild, this should be sufficient.”

After hearing the words of the guild leader Kang Seon-young, Shin Yoon-ah quietly bit her lips.
