Chapter 37: (2): Season 1: Preparation


    A familiar notification sound rang out. Even if critical shots were fired, the damage was always zero. Except for the time with Cyclops. Se-youngs face started to turn red. Hyunseok calmly spoke.


    Oh, your face turned pale at first and now its red? Ive said it before, no matter how pretty or cute you are, it wont work unless you have the skills.


    .


    A terrible habit had resurfaced. When dealing with an arrogant and silent woman, it was most effective to maintain a calm state and lightly touch her pride. However, it was necessary to make it not too unpleasant. There was a difference between provoking anger and dirtying ones mood. It was important to stimte just enough to provoke anger, and Hyun-seok was very familiar with that.


    Jong-won twisted his impression in disgust.


    What the hell why does he throw out such stupidments? Is that supposed to be an insult or apliment?


    It felt like an insult, but not quite. It was slightly yful and different from ordinary verbalnguage. Taking into ount Hyun-seoks attitude and expression, it didnt feel like an insult at all.


    Hyun-seok allowed the attackspletely defenseless. To Jong-won, it seemed like a somewhat absurd situation. The woman gnawed at Hyun-seoks body, and Hyun-seok casually dodged and took the blows without putting up any defense. It was clear at a nce that he was avoiding the attacks in a very careless manner. It was even a bit apologetic to say he was avoiding them.


    On the other hand, Se-youngs attacks became sharper and sharper. Initially, she attacked his arms, legs, and such, but now she directly targeted his weak spots. Her skills were genuine. Every time she attacked, an urate notification sound could be heard.


    Critical damage applied.


    However, Hyun-seoks H/P did not decrease at all. His imprable defense was unyielding. It was the ideal style that Jong-won desired. Unwaveringly pushing forward with unparalleled resilience and power.


    But hes not limited to that style; he can do everything. How can he even pull off such an absurd style? Damn cheat code.


    Even though critical shots continued to be fired, the damage remained at zero. No matter how fast and precise the attacks were, they were useless if the damage didnt register. Time passed, and now Hyun-seok no longer evaded. He simply let himself be hit without any effort to defend. He even yawned as if it was bothersome. It was a deliberate provocation.


    As time went on, Se-young grew increasingly tired. If we were to liken the situation to a monkey dancing in front of a rock, it was a simr situation. No matter how much the monkey danced, the rock remained unscathed.


    Hyun-seok spoke.


    Are you ready to admit defeat?


    ***


    The PvP itself was conducted secretly, but the results were revealed.


    The tinum yer. Revealing his grandeur!


    The yer who defeated Jong-won with a perfect score. Admitting defeat to the tinum yer gracefully.


    Perfect defeat by the tinum yer!


    The exact details were not disclosed, but it was clear that a defeat had urred. Thanks to that, Hyun-seoks reputation soared even higher. Well, it wasnt just Hyun-seoks reputation that rose, but rather the fame of the tinum yer.


    The magnificence of the tinum yer. Its not just limited to monster ying!


    Korean Union. Proposing a new ranking system.


    Monster ying and PvP are different realms.


    Moreover, the Korean Union was preparing for another ranking system. They would differentiate between monster ying rankings and PvP rankings.


    tinum yer. Achieving tinum rank in PvP!


    tinum yer. Who is he really?


    Of course, Hyun-seoks PvP ranking was also tinum. From the beginning, if normal mode yers were considered elementary school students, Hyun-seok was an adult or even a fighter-ss. No matter how much the elementary school students flew and trained, it was a futile attempt to defeat Hyun-seok. Sung-hyung was well aware of this fact, and the top-tier yers who knew Hyun-seoks skills agreed without hesitation.


    Hyun-seok said.


    Im sorry. I didnt mean to make you feel bad I deliberately provoked and excited you with those tricks. You see, Im a genius at ying mind games.


    .


    The woman sitting across the coffee shop didnt say a word. Nevertheless, Hyun-seok knew. Even if this woman didnt have any particr fondness for him, she was definitely curious about him. Just the name tinum yer was enough to pique her curiosity. Hyun-seok, in ces other than the battlefield, was quite gentle and well-mannered. The stark contrast between his demeanor and his status as a yer, even though he wasnt quite charm as a man, at least made him somewhat charm as a person.


    If I really didnt like you, I wouldnt show up in private gatherings like this.


    Hyun-seok inwardly smirked. No matter how much he didnt show it outwardly, it was evident in every action. Moreover, he noticed that she had put on a de-cent amount of makeup. It was not excessive, just at an everyday level, but the fact that she had made an effort to dress up for a private gathering meant that she didnt dislike him, or more urately, she thought of him as someone worth meeting at least once.


    From now on, its up to me to take the lead.


    As a joke, Hyun-seok sipped his Americano and said.


    Oh? I see Your intelligence stat is incredibly high. Did you notice me ncing around? Its a secret Im an intelligence-based yer, you know.


    Se-young looked at him as i-f she couldnt believe it. That he, a man with such tremendous physical strength, imed to be an intelligence-based yer. It was the first time she had seen such a case, where critical shots were fired but the damage was zero.


    Why do men like this even exist?


    Se-youngughed to herself and replied. Although she didnt understand what he meant by being an achievement hunter, she found him intriguing.


    And it wasnt a lie from Hyun-seok. Among the yers, Hyun-seok had the highest intelligence stat. He was the first to break through to 200 stats.


    The conversation continued. If he had utilized the whipst time, this time he could use a carrot. Especially in this womans case, she had enough confidence in her skills to im the tinum rank. Now that her confidence had been shattered, he just needed to create an opportunity to resolve it.


    Do you know what rank achievement youll receive for defeating Cyclops?


    Impossible.


    That was already a well-known fact.


    Impossible achievements can earn you far more bonus stats than regr achievements. Do you know that?


    Se-young nodded. Rather than being a conscious nod, it was more of an automatic response. She had heard of impossible achievements, but only as a hearsay.


    If you travel with me, we can achieve many impossible achievements together. Despite appearances, Im an achievement enthusiast.


    Se-young chuckled and replied. Another member had joined the Inha Guild.


    Ha Jong-won, a single-hit yer with strength stats, Hong Se-young, an agile and disruptive yer. Kang Pyeong-hwa, a healing yer with Ratio Heal, not yet sufficient in m/p but considered top-tier in terms of recovery. And of course, Hyun-seok, who epassed all of it.


    The Inha Guild now had five members. Jong-won made a -suggestion.


    Hey, Hyun-seok. Lets recruit Myeong-hoon too. No, we must.


    Myeong-hoon?


    He remembered Myeong-hoon, the entric who was the first to discover the Twin-headed Troll. He heard that Myeong-hoon had a close rtionship with Jong-won.


    Look, the Inha Guild is shaping up quite nicely. Myeong-hoon has a special ss He wants to reveal it. Can we at least have a conversation? Can you make time? No, please make time. Please meet him.


    Jong-won added one more thing.


    Brother.


    Jong-wons attitude was somewhat bewildering, but when Hyun-seok met Myeong-hoon, he was truly surprised. He could learn things that he had never known before from Myeong-hoon.


    No matter how much of an all-stats yer Hyun-seok was, even if he was considered an all-around yer, he had a reason to recruit Myeong-hoon.
