Chapter 608


    Matans Shooter 608


    What, what!? Where did- where have I seen this before?


    Huh?


    Leeha-ssi!


    Oh my


    Indeed, Leeha is a grand hero. It means he had already lit themp.


    Damn, hit the jackpot. Completed a quest just like that!?


    The Popes question was quickly drowned out by the users reactions. Even Alexander and Bailephus could not close their mouths in surprise.


    ugrunn-ssi! That! Remember?


    Oh, now that you mention it! Thats it! That thing from that time!


    In the midst of themotion, ugrunn and Leeha faced each other, realizing what the item was.


    Suddenly, the mood inside the Vatican became festive, with only the two of them staring at each other in an awkward silence.


    To think that the person who didnt even want to take on a quest a moment ago knew the solution


    Damn it. This is why I hate that guy.


    And you used that out-of-ce quote just to involve him.


    Kidd jabbed Luger in the ribs, making his face turn bright red.


    Who? Me, pulling him in? It was because of the other guys-


    Haha, understood.


    Was it the panic when caught, or the anger at the absurdment? Kidd burst intoughter seeing Luger flustered.


    It was definitely the Demon Kings Army that made the first move.


    It was nned that even if they could take out one eye of Gibrid, they wouldunch a total attack disguised as the 4th wave, perfectly united by the forces of Bluebeard, Toon, and their allies Chiyous Side.


    They kept it aplete secret, intending to strike humanitys alliance from behind, but the Vatican and the human alliance were not so easily fooled.


    The ace may have been thrown by the Demon Army but it was the human alliance who got to return the serve.


    Finish all preparations within 3 days! Afterward, under Leehas guidance, we will proceed with the conquest of the Divine Staff! announced the Pope, amand that immediately reached the heads of every nation, including Minis.


    So, youre nning to wrap this up in just 3 days.


    This crazy guy!


    Youve been Enhancing all this time. Cant you use that?


    The first ce Leeha visited was Gaza City.


    Bottleneck looked like he wanted to hit Lee with a hammer right then and there.


    Why- why not entrust it there! This important thing-


    Seriously. When I said Id leave the ck Bass enhancement to you, you made all kinds of displeased faces. And though the bonobo paleos are quite skillful and do a good job. What about you, Bottleneck-ssi? Is there something you cant do? Above all-


    Leeha rummaged through his bag and took out a book.


    Fortunately, the ck Bass entrusted to the bonobo paleos hadpleted all the necessary analysis for enhancement.


    Thanks for trusting us. Now that we know the direction for the enhancement and the structure of the weapon, all thats left is to implement it.


    Surely, its not going to be just verbal, right?


    Kuhuhu, what do you think?


    Such greedy monkeys


    Was it because Luger told them to get lost(?) or because of the difficulty of enhancing ck Bass? The condition proposed by Kobah, the spirit of bonobo paleo, was utterly outrageous.


    There was not a single required item for the enhancement, yet they demanded a list of about 13 items to be given for the prosperity of the bonobo paleos and theirfortable life in the Lava Jungle.


    And it wasnt just about collecting one of each; Lee was speechless upon finding out he had to continue bringing several items regrly.


    If I hadnt learned the Magma Eruption skill, it wouldve been a huge problem.


    Moreover, all the materials regarding ck Bass were already received as a reward! There was no more reason for Lee to be swayed by the bonobo paleos.


    Here, here! Start with this!


    Eh, whats this?


    Everything about ck Bass.


    Who dares to say such a thing- Despite frowning, Bottleneck flipped through the book rapidly. His gaping mouth closed in an instant.Heh, there were guys who knew about enhancements even before old man Bottleneck. Thats what Won Seung said.


    Normally, he wouldve epted the quests from the bonobo paleos while crying over mustard, so to speak.


    But, with a better option avable, and since Bottleneck had experience enhancing Lamhwa-jungs wand and Kijungs shield in the past,


    Although the structure ispletely different from muskets


    Bottleneck was also the one who made all the ammunition used in the Three Musketeers guns. In other words, with the ck Basss [Strategy Guide] analyzed by the bonobo paleos, Bottleneck should be able to enhance it smoothly ording to Leehas calctions.


    Can you really do it?


    If I cant do it after seeing this, I might as well return my hammer. Its made so that anyone with eyes and hands can do it.


    No way, it seemed awfullyplicated with all sorts of figures-


    Thats from the perspective of an ordinary person like you, Lord! If the environment is ready, theres not a single dwarf who cant do it! Fine, not 3 days but Ill get it done in 2 days sharp! This is all we have to do!


    Bottleneck then shoved the book inside his shirt.


    Though rough with words, he clearly knew the value of the material.


    Can you really do it in two days?


    If I stop all other work and focus, its more than possible. Plus Ahem-


    Bottleneck, stroking his bushy mustache, turned his head.


    -Anyway, youre the lord. If I cant satisfy the lordsmand, its a blow to the face for themander of the engineering corps. Beard Brothers! Prepare theva! Were starting the enhancement right away!


    While Bottleneck hurriedly gave orders to the Beard Brothers, feeling a bit embarrassed, it didnt diminish Leehas admiration.


    The only way Leeha could express the bubbling emotion from within was one.


    Kuh Ajussi!


    Hey, dont hug me! I have no interest in hugging a man, get away!


    Leeha, who was significantly taller, hugged the much shorter Bottleneck and shook him side to side without mercy.


    Though short, Bottlenecks long beard wouldve been seen dangling messily between Leehas legs from behind.


    This is dreadful, lord


    ugrunn sighed deeply and shook his head.


    And so, two dayster,


    Leeha was finally about to get the chance to acquire the [Enhanced Legendary ck Bass].


    Now, the only thing left is my own transformation.


    Even while dancing joyfully with Bottleneck, Leehas mind was still racing.


    When ck Bass was unavable, he painfully realized what was needed  in an uncertain situation when such a crisis could happen again, one thing was necessary.


    I need a new skill. One that can be used with a musket, something aggressive and certain. And


    It wasnt just that.


    Because of the greatest challenge Leeha currently faced, his next destination could only be one ce.


    The capital of Fibiel, Aelstock.


    He had to meet Browless of the Musket Academy.


    Heh, meeting Leeha-nims teacher, Im looking forward to it?


    Theres not much to look forward to. Huhuhu, the smell of the capital after so long~


    Recently, the only ce Leeha had visited in the old continent was Gaza City.


    After spending a significant amount of time only in the new continent, for Leeha, Fibiels old continent capital, Aelstock, was a ce he hadnt visited in a long time.


    Come to think of it, I heard that Madam Lu is running the Holy Grill here?


    After Zu moved to the Gaza City branch, managing the capital branch was Lu, who was from the original Candle Castle. The chef there, Giyo-Mifugar, became the chef-manager, Leeha remembered.


    The pinnacle of Fibiel NPC Information Guild In some ways, Madam Lu has a far superior knack than Madam Zu.


    Leeha made his way toward the Holy Grill.I considered heading towards my goal, but decided against it for the moment.


    What I really needed information on was the location to clear ck Bass fifth quest!


    But wasnt ck Bass supposed to be under Bottlenecks care for two days of enhancement?


    Theck of information and a foreboding feeling that I might just be sniffing around for trouble prevented me from proceeding.


    Still, he is our master! Just thinking about Leeha getting scolded fills my heart with joy.


    Oh? So thats how youve been seeing me?


    Since even our Lord doesnt scold Leeha, its more of apliment, really.


    Heh, but even if you meet the master, youre unlikely to see me getting told off.


    Huh? But hes the master, isnt he?


    Well, a master in Middle Earth is indeed a master, but


    Leeha chuckled for a moment while conversing with ugrunn.


    Indeed, there was much to learn from Browless about handling muskets and surviving in Middle Earth; yet for Leeha, a true master wasnt only Browless.


    Wasnt the retired shooter who corrected his posture and taught him air rifle shooting a master as well?


    If one were to judge by that standard, Browless was merely one of Leehas masters.


    But he was the one who handed over ck Bass and taught you how to shoot, right?


    Well, yes, he gave me ck Bass, but teaching me how to snipe is a bit of a stretch.


    For Leeha, there was truly only one person that could be considered the master.


    Then who taught you to snipe?


    The toon leader. The sniping toon leader.


    The sniping leader?


    Well, ugrunn, even if I told you, you probably wouldnt understand.


    Leeha smiled but shivered slightly.


    The person who transformed Leeha from merely a shooting enthusiast or military otaku into a real sniper was indeed the armys sniping toon leader.


    Ordinary civilians would never handle a sniper bolt-action rifle, one of the firearms strictly off-limits to them.


    Most South Korean men who have served in the military have the chance to handle submachine guns, rifles, and even machine guns and handguns, depending on their position, as well as mortars and recoilless rifles.


    However, sniper rifles are an exception.


    They are something amon soldier could never touch, a privilege reserved solely for professional soldiers.


    Hence, the moment one handles a sniper rifle, its natural for all involved to be military personnel, specially assigned to a sniper role  not something one starts with.


    Choosing someone from among the NCO trainees with exceptional shooting skills or from the ranks based on outstanding marksmanship to then transition into an NCO role is part of South Koreas sniper system.


    Therefore, the institution responsible for gathering these still green soldiers and training them was an absolute necessity.


    I wonder how Master Sergeant Kim is doing. I was deployed at the time of my ident.


    Sniping toon leader, Master Sergeant Kim.


    Though Leeha recalled him with a tone of longing, it seemed to give him goosebumps.


    For Leeha, who could receive even guerri or severe winter training with a smile, the worst training was undoubtedly Master Sergeant Kims sniping training.


    Brrr, just talking about this makes me feel cold, so cold. Lets hurry, were almost there. Yes! Lets go!


    Thud


    Stepping into the Brown Bess Musket Academys drill ground after a long time, the pleasant sound of musket fire filled the air.


    Leeha approached Browless, who was on the training ground.


    With a menacing face devoid of eyebrows, always wearing his hat deep on his head casting deep shadows, menacing was the word that fit this NPC best.


    However, today, for some reason, he was beaming with joy.


    Thats right. Your posture isnt bad, good. With a bit more practice


    Master, its been a while since Ist saw you.


    -Ah, Leeha! How long has it been! Browless greeted Leeha with an unusually bright expression and a warm smile.


    The awkwardness of his demeanor was enough to evoke involuntaryughter.
