Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 95

33. Clean Up (2)

Consciousness that had been locked in darkness slowly rises.

Your body shakes slightly as if lying in a cradle. It is comfortable. I think it would be good to go back to sleep like this. forever… … .

‘… Are you sleeping?’

for a moment. Then I have a vague question.

Why was I asleep? What were you doing before going to sleep? I don’t remember lying in bed. Why is my vision dyed black?

Beyond the memory, a now-diluted feeling of despair and fear faded.

White. The white color that filled my eyes. It was like a tsunami… The advance of snow and ice.

The moment I remembered that I had been swept away by a massive avalanche.

Song Hana’s eyes lit up.

“ha… ha… … .”

My heart was pounding wildly as if I had had a terrible nightmare.

What you can see is a fairly low ceiling. Where did you see it? She thought for a moment, and then she lifted her upper body up.

It was in the bus.

A specially modified super-luxurious bus that I rode from South Korea and dragged every time I went to a dungeon in North Korea. Because of the magic treatment to absorb shock, only a slight shaking was felt even in very bad road conditions.

With her back fully reclined, she was lying on a chair that was no different from the bed. Her attire was the same as she was wearing before she lost consciousness.

“… … .”

Hana Song, who had blinked her eyes blankly, stretched out her arm. She removed the curtains she had drawn around her seat.

The scenery inside the bus was the same as when moving normally. Unless it was a special conversation or conversation, each of them closed the curtains and rested in their seats.

It was so peaceful that I wondered if going to the dungeon itself was a dream.

But there’s no way I can’t sleep lying on the bus wearing armor.

👌👌👌👌

Then the curtain on the seat across from him was lifted.

“Oh my, Hana.”

Cha Eun-seol stuck out her head.

“Are you awake?”

“Ah yes.”

Song Hana nodded her head tremblingly.

“what… What happened? What about others?”

“Everyone is resting in their seats. No matter how strong the body, it was a difficult experience. Hana was the last to wake up. What’s wrong with her?”

“No, it’s okay.”

Even after such a major accident, strangely, there is no pain anywhere.

So she was even more curious. Song Hana asked quickly.

“More than that, what is the situation now? Apparently she was caught in an avalanche back then.”

“My brother used her hand.”

Cha Eun-seol summed it up in one sentence.

“Yes?”

“They said they protected the entire party with magic at the last minute. Do I have to say that I put a shield on each individual? So, she didn’t die from being hit directly by the avalanche, but rather just smashed into the snow.”

“Ah… … .”

“With that, we held out until the avalanche passed, and then we broke through the snow and rescued others and escaped the dungeon.”In fact, if you look closely, there are some strange parts.

If even the armor was not scratched, it was said that it was perfectly protected, but why did he lose consciousness?

It may be the case if a temporary shock and lack of oxygen overlap, but then it is better to dig it up in the snow and then wake up immediately. Rather than getting a few unconscious people out of the dungeon and going down Mt. Geumgang and getting on the bus.

However, neither the three who woke up first nor Hana Song had any questions about that.

They have been following Cha Shin Hyeon for a month and have become his ardent followers. Rather than asking such a ‘minor’ question, only the part that Cha Shin Hyeon saved their lives touched me greatly.

“Well, then I should say thank you.”

“Are you probably sleeping now? He was very tired.”

“Ah, I guess so. You had to take care of us all… I was just thinking of myself.”

“I’m not the one who will be angry if I do it later, so Hana-san, please rest a little more.”

“… I hope so. Chief too.”

As soon as I understood the situation, I was tired again. Hana Song, who gave her nodded greeting, closed her curtains again.

She took off her protective gear, laid it loosely next to her, and closed her eyes.

Her consciousness soon subsided.

Cha Eun-seol, who looked at the closed curtain for a moment, glanced backwards. There are also seats surrounded by curtains.

– You heard?

Cha Eun-seol sent a message. A reply came back right away.

– okay.

– Everyone seems to believe it without any doubt.

– Who would ever doubt that I knocked out first before being swept away by the avalanche?

Cha Shin Hyeon grunted.

– What you said is also the most reasonable explanation in the current situation.

– Are you just going to ask questions like this?

– It’s a story about Cheonjo, because it’s not good at all for them to know. There will be no future encounters. It’s for them to know that they just come to the dungeon and go back in vain.

Sometimes not knowing can be medicine.

He came to North Korea for inter-Korean exchanges, had a successful time and returned safely. It was enough for them to know that for the rest of their lives. There was no reason to bring up the existence of the fallen Cheonjo.

There was a little bit of post-processing left, but that wasn’t their domain either.

a few hours later.

It was quite late for dinner, and the bus returned to the hotel in Pyongyang.

Before getting off the bus, Cha Shin Hyeon called the party together for a while.

“As a result, the exploration of the Mt. Geumgang dungeon was a failure. I couldn’t even get on with the monster properly, and the party was almost wiped out. It was me who insisted on going, so it is also my responsibility.”

“Don’t say that!”

The team members exclaimed in unison.

“The Captain is the benefactor who saved us.”

“Rather, we couldn’t proceed further exploration because of us. It is our fault.”

“Thank you for thinking that way.”

Cha Shin Hyeon smiled faintly.

“But failure is failure. The important thing is not to forget what you have to learn there. Everyone has experienced an avalanche, so you probably know what they feel. Please note that the more dangerous the dungeon, the more dangerous the environment itself.”

“Yes!”

“good. So, I’m just disbanding for today. Let everyone rest freely for a few days.”

The team members who had to deviate from the schedule to go to the dungeon every other day cheered. Leveling up is good, but it’s been too long. A honey-like break was a welcome welcome.

Each of them bowed their heads deeply to thank Cha Shin Hyeon, and hurriedly entered the hotel lobby. Cha Eun-seol, who was noticing, also pushed her back.

Last but not least, Cha Shin Hyeon and Kang Chang-sik came down.

After looking around for a moment, Cha Shin Hyeon opened the luggage compartment on the side of the bus.

Degururu.

Linmei, who had been thoroughly suppressed and was rolling around in the trunk, finally came out. To avoid the eyes of the team members, the only place to store (?) was the luggage compartment.

“Hey.”

“Yes Yes!”

Even after releasing her blood, she was frozen tight. As he continues to avoid Cha Shin Hyeon’s gaze, it seems that it will take a considerable amount of time to recover mentally.

“The reason I saved you wasn’t because I was pitiful. It’s because only one leader can control the Cheonjo. Actually, it’s neat to erase everything from control and everything, but… … .”

Lynn May shuddered at the last sentence, muttered to herself. For her, who witnessed the end of her Yangcheng, words like ‘eraser’ and ‘delete’ were absolutely taboo.

“I’m not going to get rid of the entire Tenjo right away. We can’t immediately dispatch manpower to manage the dungeons in North Korea. We will reduce it sequentially, so please cooperate well and manage it properly in the meantime. Pay your taxes properly. Do you understand?”

“Hey, I’ll do my best.”

“And when you came here, wouldn’t someone else be in control of the Tenjo power in mainland China?”

“Yes. A trustworthy subordinate is managing it.”

“Then it won’t be a problem if you leave it as it is. you stay here Stay in the place where Kang Chang-sik’s eyes can reach and work together steadily. If you run away or make a fix.”

After a moment’s pause, Cha Shin Hyeon smirked.

“It must be fun. good to try If you are confident that you will live in hiding for the rest of your life.”

“I will never do that. never!”

Lin May shook her head violently. Her mind had already been thoroughly accustomed to fear, to the extent that she did not have any other thoughts about her even if she did not impose a physical ban.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was looking at her quietly, turned to Kang Chang-sik.

“Take care of this woman. At least she won’t be bothered by the Chinese hunters anymore.”

“I don’t know what to do with my body because you’ve done this to me.”

Changsik Kang scratched his head.

“Even if Kang Chang-sik hadn’t been there anyway, Cheonjo was going to be dealt with. In the meantime, the North Korean problem is also being resolved, so it’s a one stone two group. I hope you don’t forget the goal that you first told me about.”

“Would you like to say this?”

It was heartbreaking to say that he had been manipulated so as not to be hostile to Cheonjo, but he was sincere in trying to fix the wrong North Korean leadership. The hindrances are gone, so I can spread my wings.

And although he originally dreamed of peaceful inter-Korean exchanges, after seeing Cha Shin Hyeon’s force, Korea has become a country that should not be hostile even more. If you don’t make it, your life will end on that day.

“Then let’s go in.”

“Yes. You did a really good job.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, waving lightly, walked to the hotel lobby.

There was nothing left to make people feel uncomfortable any more in North Korea.

* * *

After that, the schedule went smoothly.

The team members no longer go to new dungeons and re-rounded the dungeons that they had previously visited. It was a task to determine the number of regenerated monsters within a month and finally determine the difficulty of the dungeon.

It wasn’t accumulated for a long time, it was accumulated for a month, so the number of monsters was small, and in the meantime, my skills improved a lot, so it wasn’t as intense as the first month.

In the meantime, Cha Shin Hyeon has found time to visit the inexplicable twice.

Even though he is a difficult monster to catch, it is that person standing in front of Cha Shin Hyeon. As in Chuncheon’s Mysteries, the level went up smoothly by catching things that give you plenty of experience.

At one time, I brought Cha Eun-seol with me to help me develop my experience. It was a fun excursion (?) to level up just by visiting.

So in early May.

Finally, two and a half months later, the targeted dungeon map was completed.After completing all their schedules, they returned to Seoul.

It was Lee Ji-hye who caught Cha Shin Hyeon, who barely escaped after completing the official procedure and suffering from a barrage of questions from reporters.

“How was North Korea?”

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, and Lee Ji-hye was single. With a grin, Cha Shin Hyeon answered.

“It was a very nice place.”

“Hey, you sound like a brainwashed villager. Was it paradise on earth?”

“Because I live in a different world from those people. I ate expensive food, slept in expensive places, and only went to dungeons for the rest.”

“… It’s not much different from how you were here.”

“Were you sent for that purpose in the first place? Of course, the real purpose was clearly achieved.”

Cha Shin Hyeon briefly recounted what happened in North Korea. There was no long explanation. It is said that Cheonjo mobilized all his powers to dig a trap and then robbed him in reverse.

“It looks like a sick tooth is missing.”

Lee Ji-hye said with her remorseful expression.

“In the meantime, don’t forget to level up the kids all the way.”

“It’s good for me when I have less work. Fortunately, no one was left behind.”

As a result of two and a half months of dungeon hit and run.

Woo Jae-won and Song Hana are level 51.

Joo Young-seok and Ko Go-hyuk are level 50.

Four new high-ranking hunters have been added to Korea.

All of them thanked them with tears, but in fact, Cha Shin Hyeon did not only do it with a pure heart.

“I can breathe a little now. How hard was it to cover a high-risk dungeon with the guild leader for two and a half months… … .”

“I’m sorry. I have provided four new workers, so please take a look.”

“Sure.”

As the number of people to be put into the high-risk dungeon, which is a riot because there are no people, has increased by four, so Lee Ji-hye, Jeon Jun-ho, and Cha Shin Hyeon will have more time in their schedules. Since the danger of Cheonjo’s attack has disappeared, Cha Eun-seol can also be deployed separately.

“Well, whatever.”

Cha Shin Hyeon changed the topic.

“Did anything special happen during that time? What I need to know.”

“If there was an urgent matter, I would have contacted Pyongyang directly.”

Lee Ji-hye shrugged her shoulders.

“Of course, we don’t fight over fire, but there are some things you should know. I didn’t bring Cha Shin Hyeon with me for no reason, did I?”

“… I never said anything.”

“Uh, anyway. First of all.”

After a moment’s silence, Lee Ji-hye opened her mouth.

“The guild income has increased. neither dawn nor twilight.”

“… … ?”

Cha Shin Hyeon tilted her head.
