Reading Webnovels Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 31

The starting city of the Abyss, Frontier.

As the ruined city was restored and continued to be expanded, it became as wide and expansive as the capital of any country.

“Is this an inn?”

Thanks to this, Frontier had all kinds of facilities.

Inns, blacksmiths run by guilds, tool shops, street vendors, restaurants… Most of the things you could imagine were there.

“Welcome, a few days…”

Park Si-jun showed the training center card to the approaching employee. This inn is rented from the training center and can be used freely during this practice.

“You can go to the innermost room on the third floor.”

It wasn’t a pretty room. As soon as Park Si-Jun arrived, he lay down on the bed and started reading the web novel.

‘When are you going to read all of this?’

There are two and half of the remaining web novels. If you read it too much, it will not be recognized as a stack, so you need to read it with some care.

‘If you read by tonight, you will probably read two.’

I was thinking of reading the SSS-class interest seeds that I put aside while reading the last stack.

‘Let’s read it.’

Park Si-jun read the novel.

* * *

Time passed quickly.

I don’t know if it’s thanks to his outstanding concentration, but Si-Jun Park only read novels for 12 hours without a break.

“Turn it off!”

He stayed in the same position for a long time and his body stiffened. Si-Jun Park stretched his slack and looked at his last web novel.

‘SSS-class interest seed.’

I read about half of it to figure out what kind of ability it was. The other half should be easy to read.

‘Where, the content… … .’

The SSS-level interest was also a modern fantasy, to be precise, a novel called a hunter.

‘It’s so fashionable these days.’

Hunter is a novel that deals with a worldview that is similar to the player, but has no backgrounds.

There is no background, but monsters appear, and the chosen ones use their power to defeat them.

This novel was one of those novels.

‘It is a common novel, but one ability is special.’

As the title suggests, the protagonist of this novel is a seed of interest.

People who attract excessive attention because they want to be noticed by others. But the main character had a reason for that.

[People who watched the broadcast swear at Lee Woo-hyun. What’s with all these guys? People like you should be ruined. It was a curse word close to a curse, but Lee Woo-hyun was happy.][‘The number of viewers of the broadcast has increased. All stats are increased.’ Because such interest, be it insults or compliments, became Lee Woo-hyun’s strength.]

It was. The ability that Lee Woo-hyun, the protagonist of the SSS-class interest seed, acquired is the power of the name of the SSS-class interest disease.

It was a novel that became stronger as the number of people watching the broadcast increased. The main character did everything he could to become strong.

“The material was really novel.”

I was wondering what all these materials are. the problem is.

‘The power balance… … .’

very messed up The main character became so strong that there was no opponent at all from the middle.

As a result, Japan was beaten up, and the United States was also beaten up, and the novel went completely into the mountains.

“Would you like to give me this ability?”

Park Si-jun suddenly had a question.

All of the traits he had acquired through gluttony had been weakened.

‘It’s good to give, but it’s too much of a scam.’

I thought that this ability might also be weakened. He was a bit nervous, but he had already made up his mind anyway.

“Broadcasting, interest… It’s perfect for the current situation.”

Broadcasting alone can make you stronger.

It was for that reason that I decided to implement this novel. I get strength from broadcasting, and it’s one stone.

‘Epilogue is so… … .’

The SSS-class interest seed also had the worst ending.

It is said that the main character, Woo-hyun Lee, who became the strongest on earth, ate well and lived well. I couldn’t even retrieve the rice cakes that were laid out in the early and middle.

It was a novel that was completed early in the first 150 episodes.

“Huh, I’ve read it all.”

Park Si-jun turned the last chapter of the novel.

[You have finished reading ‘SSS-Class Seed of Interest’.][Strength has increased by 0.2 due to the effect of Tomb Reading.][Number of works remaining until implementation: 0.]

When I saw the amount of ability increase, I sighed.

These days, the amount of ability gained by reading novels has greatly decreased. Most were in 0.x units.

‘What’s the matter?’

I thought about it, but I couldn’t come up with an answer.

[I have read enough works. I can implement one of the works I’ve read so far.][Cheonma-sama is returning, you bastard of the ground… SSS-class interest seeds.]

This was nothing to worry about.

[Implement SSS-grade interest seeds.][Novel immersion 14%. It was not implemented properly due to the low level of immersion and the lack of completeness of the novel.][SSS-class interest disease! That was the name of my ability. -Sss-level interested seeds.]

The message you’ve been waiting for appears.

Park Si-jun took a small breath. He went through it many times, but it was a tense moment.

[Strength has increased by 0.4 due to the effect of Tomb Reading.][You have acquired the trait, ‘Interested Seed (F)’][Tomdok is dissatisfied with the content of the novel. I refuse to read the novel for a while due to an unpleasant satiety.]

“what?”

He’s not some kind of fussy kid.

He laughed out loud because it was ridiculous.

Still, he was fortunate.

‘Anyway, for a while, I only have to attack the dungeon.’

He didn’t even have time to read the novel. Park Si-jun confirmed the newly acquired ability and interest.

[Time it takes to digest: 123 hours and 20 minutes.]

“No, hey. Wait…”

Park Si-jun was at a loss for words for a moment. Even though it took a long time to digest, it was too long.

“You’re pissed off because you ate something that didn’t taste good, what?”

Park Si-joon has identified a new characteristic.

[Interested Seed (F): Only people who are crazy about interest can learn it. Recognition points are accumulated by performing activities related to broadcasting, and when these points reach a certain level, the rating of the broadcast rises. It can also become stronger by increasing the rank of the attribute.][Effect: All stats +1%, skill power +1%.][Skill: Check.]

“What else is this…”

Seeing the characteristic effect, Si-Jun Park was shocked. The trait name is the same, but the trait conditions are slightly different from the novel.

‘In the novel, as the number of viewers increases, it becomes stronger.’

This characteristic should increase the rating of the broadcast.

Park Si-joon let out a sigh. It seems a bit tedious.

“check.”

He tried using the new skill first.

[Current broadcast rating: F (unheard of asshole).][No one is watching your broadcast! We need to work harder on broadcasting. You have to be agitated.][Level Up Condition: Recognition Points 3,000 Exceeded]

Park Si-jun was at a loss for words for a moment.

I mean, could such a characteristic exist? It was ridiculous that it was not funny.

‘No, it’s the ability I was hoping for.’

I didn’t want conditions like this to happen.

He sighed heavily.

“…the view tube must be raised unconditionally.”

It was the moment when I had a new goal.

* * *

The next day, Sijun Park left Frontier.

It was a very late start compared to the other trainees. Everyone must have already found the dungeon or are doing a quest.

‘Find the dungeon and clear it or break the quest.’

Park Si-joon thought for a moment. What is he best at what he can do?

The answer came quickly.

‘It’s a dungeon.’

He had the characteristic of dungeon exploration. If he takes advantage of this, he can even find rare dungeons.

The question is, can you break the dungeon you found?

Looking at his status window, he had a strange feeling.

Should I say he is impressed? It was a very strange feeling.

‘Is this the level of A-grade potential?’

Add up to this +10% of all stats gained from the Magic Heart effect and +1% from the effect of the Seed of Interest.

‘It’s more than that.’

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Park Si-joon’s lips. He was capable enough to have enough confidence.

‘Dungeon Exploration.’

Park Si-jun used his skills while walking around the Frontier.

Although he had a few dungeons to be found.

‘All of them are of zero difficulty… … .’

The difficulty was low because it was near the frontier, his starting town. This means that the level is not very high.

“Me, me! Kill that squirrel!”

“Aww! It really hurts!”

There were many players near the frontier.

At the same time, monsters also existed.

Monsters like squirrels and praying mantis the size of a dog.

“This is so creepy…”

A female player cries and grabs a mantis.

In terms of game fantasy novels, this was a kind of low-rap hunting ground. A place where novice players hunt.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

‘Because the monsters continue to regenerate.’

So, such a hunting ground can exist.

In fact, in the player-related community, a list of hunting grounds suitable for each level was also listed.

It’s like a strategy book for an online game.

“I don’t know who named the player…”

I thought it was really well made.

People who play a game called Abyss. Because, literally, the name of the player fell right.

‘My favorite dungeon doesn’t come out at all.’

Like the starting village, the surrounding areas were all developed. There was no such thing as a hidden dungeon that was not discovered by people.

Park Si-joon gave up trying to find the hidden dungeon and decided to run a normal dungeon.

[Dungeon: Goblins’ hideout]

A simple underground cave. Goblins who have lost their home to players are using it as a temporary hideout.

[Difficulty] D

The nearest place was the hideout of the goblins.

After paying this dungeon, Park Si-joon decided to go to another dungeon and tried to move.

[You have explored a sufficient number of dungeons.][The rank of dungeon search increases by one level.]

Then an unexpected message appeared.

Park Si-jun tilted his head as if puzzled. Have you explored that many dungeons?

I remember he searched about 10 or so.

[Additional update of goblins’ hideout information.][Dungeon: Goblins’ hideout]

A simple underground cave. Goblins who have lost their home to players are using it as a temporary hideout.

Park Si-joon was startled and his mouth was wide open.
