Chapter 42: (2): Season 1: Preparation


    Lately, Hyun-seok has continuously felt that the yer world exhibits a strong tendency for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. Strong yers y stronger monsters and rapidly be stronger, while weak yers y weaker monsters and experience slower growth. And this trend will only be more prominent. Perhaps the phrase the strong get stronger, the weak get weaker might be more fitting than the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, but in any case, Hyun-seok is a typical example of the rich getting richer. With stats that exceed the standard, he is a representative case of bing significantly stronger by umting achievements in a short period.


    Even if the daily Monsters were to attack Hyun-seok relentlessly, his health points (H/P) would not decrease significantly. Thats because the difference in power is so substantial. In the future, there could be such a significant difference in rankings between yers from other countries and Korean yers. In that sense, it may not be a loss but rather an advantage to remain in the Korean Union from the very beginning. Of course, there is no guarantee that it will result in immediate loss or that it will definitely happen in the future, but thats the idea.


    By the way, Hyun-seok discussed this issue with his father, Sek-won. He only mentioned the facts that were already revealed, excluding the fact that he is a tinum yer. Sek-won, his father, actively supported the idea of tinum yers staying in the Korean Union. He praised him, saying, Thats right. As a man, you should uphold loyalty.


    Pyeong-hwa spoke up.


    But, oppa Are you really going to quit your job?


    Yeah.


    In reality, if it were known that a tinum yer was working for Hanjeon, people would ridicule him. It would be incredible that he hadnt resigned yet. The money he recently earned alone is an amount that ordinary people cant even dream of. He hasnt sold it yet, but the Green Stones he obtained from EZ Mode alone amount to several hundred.


    Oh, by the way, Pyeong-hwa. Are you managing your items well?


    Hyun-seok doesnt need items. His entire body is a weapon and shield. The only item he ever had was Sea Support.


    That


    I heard something about being able to enhance items with Monster Stones.


    Yes, there are people of that ss.


    With the differentiation of sses, a ss that enhances items has emerged. Of course, it is not a highly acimed ss. To enhance items, you need Monster Stones of White Stone or higher quality, but finding such Monster Stones is not easy. The situation is slightly better with White Stones. However, at the current level of enhancement-ss yers, they need Green Stones to achieve proper upgrades.


    No matter how high the level of yers has be, the number of Green Stones that drop in a day is barely a hundred or so. Even considering the continuous demand in various fields such as medicine and industry, a hundred is an extremely limited supply. If sold to the government, they would be worth 130 million won, but these days, illegal routes have be quite active, and transactions for 150 million won are not umon. It would be a tremendous loss to entrust items to someone who ims to be an enhancement yer and risks being scammed.


    In fact, there have been cases reported in the news of individuals iming to be enhancement-ss yers and running away with a few Green Stones. Since each Green Stone is worth 150 million won, even if someone managed to buy a few, it would result in a tremendous profit (?).


    Well It seems like those people of that ss have gathered and opened a store. They must be trustworthy because they have a lot of reservations.


    I see. Its not a bad business model. Its not dangerous, and as they work, they can improve their skill levels through repetition.


    He thought it was a decent business. By eptingmissions and working while improving their skill levels, it was a win-win situation.


    Hyun-seok was enjoying a rtively peaceful afternoon with a slight affection. He had conversations with Pyeong-hwa about various topics they hadnt discussed before, and every time Hyun-seok spoke, Pyeong-hwa covered her mouth and burst intoughter, sometimes loudly and sometimes softly.


    Why do you muffle yourughter and pretend to be coy when you could justugh out loud?


    I-Im not doing that.


    Hyun-seok retorted in a slightly impatient tone, as if throwing it out abruptly.


    Justughfortably without pretending to be coy. I think you look the prettiest when youugh without caring about appearances.


    He was enjoying a rtively peaceful afternoon, but then a breaking news alert came in. A new monster had appeared. Generally, if its referred to as a normal-mode monster, it would be trolls, twin-headed trolls, or weak cyclopes that appear in dungeons. In other words, monsters with impact values of around 4,000 to 5,000 are considered standard for normal-mode.


    Typically, the impact value and strength of monsters are proportionate to their size. Twin-headed orcs are slightlyrger than orcs, trolls are slightlyrger than twin-headed orcs, and twin-headed trolls arerger than trolls. And cyclopes are evenrger than twin-headed trolls.<ul><li>Breaking News!
