Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 107
Episode 107:
The evening when Ji Jin-hee, Yoo Ah-young, and Ko Tae-wook broke up.
Taehyun secretly returned home using stealth and checked the package left in the living room.
It was a magic stone that had been entrusted to Alchemist for inspection after a friendly match not long ago.
“Has it already arrived?”
At the end of a friendly match, the magic stones that were converted into points belong to the participating representative.
There was a reason why some players preferred monster teams.
“Looking at it like this… I killed a lot of people.”
Although I stayed in the Abyss for less than two days.
Yongin’s Tower was as big as dozens of dungeons put together, so it was a natural achievement.
Taehyun removed the packaging of the magic gemstones that were packed in a special container one by one.
A sheet of pure white paper was placed on top of the sparkling magic stones.
It was a note from Alchemist guild leader Seo Sang-ik to Tae-hyeon.
[Player Kim Tae-hyun. First of all, we would like to thank you for using Alchemist again this time… If you are thinking of selling magic stones, please feel free to contact us at any time… Our Alchemist is always ready to purchase them at a good price….]
Pisik .
Taehyun smiled without realizing it as he read the elaborate sentence.
This is because I could imagine how much the Alchemist must have drooled while inspecting the magic stones here.
I don’t know, but if I sell all these magic stones, I will be able to build several buildings in Seoul, which is famous for its high land prices.
but.
‘What’s important now isn’t things like buildings.’
The building can be built later.
However, an incompetent player might die tomorrow.
So what’s important to Taehyun right now is.
‘It’s at least a slightly better item skill ability.’
Taehyun finished reading the note.
[…It looks like it will take some time to process the Red Dragon’s Magic Stone. We will contact you as soon as it is ready. – Guild Leader Seo Sang-ik.]
‘It seems like it wasn’t an easy task for Guild Leader Seo Sang-ik.’
Taehyun remembered Kaiselin’s magic stone that everyone was paying attention to.
The magic stone called Dragon Heart contained magical power that was on a different level from that of ordinary monsters.
He tried several times, but unfortunately Taehyun was unable to consume all of Kaiselin’s magic stones.
‘Well, thanks to you, I was able to win the friendly match. ‘Isn’t it a shame?’
for that reason.
Kaiselin’s magic stone was entrusted to Seo Sang-ik, who is considered the best engineer in New Korea.
With the expectation that he would be able to bring the power contained in the magic stone to a level that was suitable for the player to handle.
Taehyun poured out all the magic stones piled up in a special container onto the floor.
Rumbling.
Magic stones of different sizes and colors are neatly washed.
It was like looking at a processed gemstone.
“Whew. “Then let’s give it a try.”
Taehyun concentrated his magic.
Tiring.
[The unique skill Predation (A) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?
The dark red magic power blooming from the body covered the magic stone.
and.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk. Quad deud deuk.
The magic stone that was supposed to be someone’s heart began to be swallowed up by the power of the predator.
Tiring.
[I have devoured a huge amount of magical power. Magic power has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magic power has been consumed. Strength has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Speed has increased by 1.]
The messages I had been waiting for appeared before my eyes.

“Good.”
Taehyun, who was looking at the status window, smiled with satisfaction.
stamina and horsepower. Two stats exceeded 200.
It appears that his strength will soon exceed 200, and his speed stat will not be far behind other national power levels.
Every time I grow, I feel like magic is boiling in my body.
It wasn’t just because of the magic gem I had just devoured.
Red Dragon Kaiselin.
Even while fighting for his life with this guy, the steady rise was significant.
And above all.
‘The charm stat goes up really well…’
Even when slaughtering dragons, the charm stat increased quite a bit.
Initially, what Taehyun wanted was the charisma stat.
‘Is there not much difference in charisma or charm among monsters?…’
Even so, it felt strange that the stat that was not the main focus was equal to speed.
‘I wish I could add it to other stats. Still, at this level, I can use ‘Dragon’s Tears’.’
The minimum condition for using ‘Dragon’s Tears’ is when one of the stats exceeds 250.
“Good timing.”
Tomorrow I had to go to Hong Kong to pick up the reward certificate for winning the friendly match.
Because I expect what will happen there.
Taehyun was extremely satisfied with his increased abilities.
* * *
There were two rewards for the Asian Player Friendly Match.
One is a unique item for the five representative players of the winning country.
Items could be selected from those jointly owned by member countries of the Asian Players Association.
The second is ownership of unexplored dungeons, which the Asian Players Association member countries are unable to resolve.
Although this was a formal compensation.
The meaning was extraordinary.
This is because players from the winning country have a reason to operate legally due to dungeon research.
‘In a previous life, China used this right to great advantage.’
But in this life, the new Korea, not China, would claim that right.
Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Taehyun was immediately taken to the players’ association president’s office.
“President of the Association. Player Kim Tae-hyun is here.”
“Please take us inside.”
With the voice of a middle-aged woman.
Taehyun entered the association president’s office.
“welcome. “Player Kim Tae-hyun.”
A woman in her 50s wearing a red suit.
Hong Kong Association President Zhu Lichen welcomed me warmly and offered my hand.
“See you again.”
Taehyun held her hand and greeted her briefly.
“I was waiting. “Now this way.”
The structure was not much different from the room of Association President Ji Jin-hee.
One desk, one sofa and table for entertaining.
Even in the office interior, we could get a glimpse of what kind of personality she had.
Click.
Chairman Ju Lichen presented the black tea he personally brewed.
“I’m sorry for treating an Asian hero this way.”
“no. “I understand the situation in Hong Kong.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Normally, reporters from all broadcasting stations would camp out in time for the winning country’s compensation delivery day, but the current situation in Hong Kong was not so good.
Five national team members, arguably Hong Kong’s greatest force, have died mysteriously.
Meanwhile, it is difficult to welcome foreign players into the country.
That was the reason why Taehyun visited Hong Kong alone even though it was the winning country.
‘This is definitely the most dangerous time.’
Chairman Zheng Zhi and the ambitions of Chinese players.
Hong Kong and Taiwan were like wavering candles in the face of this ambition, which everyone in the know knew about.
From Hong Kong’s perspective, it is fortunate that the winning country is New Korea.
“Player Kim Tae-hyun. “I would like to say something for a moment while the documents for the two compensations arrive.”
“Please tell me.”
“To be blunt. “We, Hong Kong, would like to form a ‘blood alliance’ with New Korea.”
“….”
A blood pact is a step beyond an existing alliance.
An alliance made in blood.
‘That’s really blunt.’
Externally, Hong Kong signed a blood alliance with Taiwan.
Because Taehyun knows that weight.
I couldn’t answer hastily.
In my previous life, Hong Kong and Taiwan were absorbed and unified by China, and if there are no major variables, the future will not change in this life.
“sorry. “I don’t think that’s up to me to decide.”
Taehyun politely declined.
Association President Joo Richen once again held Taehyeon’s hand.
“We in Hong Kong and Taiwan no longer have what we can call S-tier players. “If this continues, even if China insists on unification, there will be no talent to go on the defensive.”
Not long has passed since Hong Kong gained partial independence from China.
It was inevitable that there was a lack of talent compared to New Korea or Japan.
“I am just a player. I think it would be difficult for me to say anything about that. “When I get back, I’ll talk to President Ji Jin-hee one more time.”
“I understand… I think I asked too much of the hero of the new Korea. However, despite my shame, I would like to ask you…”
To her who bows her head and earnestly asks.
Taehyun bowed his head.
At that moment, an employee of the association arrived with a handbook.
It states that it will acknowledge ownership of five unique items and unexplored dungeons in the Asian region.
Below it were the seals of the Asian Players Association and the host country, Hong Kong.
‘I think it’s time to come.’
At that time, Taehyun was about to receive the handover.
Kugugugugugung.
The association’s building shook greatly.
I heard a murmur and the door to the association president’s office burst open.
“President of the Association!! “It’s an attack!!”
“It’s an attack!! “What kind of nonsense is that…!!”
“Unidentified people… are causing trouble!!”
“What do you mean by that!! “Every warp gate in Hong Kong must be under control right now!!”
“That is probably considered a type of skill…”
Between two people having a confusing conversation.
“This is true. You’re in trouble. “I was just about to go back.”
Taehyun scratched his face and put the delivery book in his arms.
“Player Kim Tae-hyun, stay here for a moment….”
At that time, Ju Li-chen was about to go outside with his subordinate.
‘…!!’
Taehyun hurriedly grabbed Jurichen’s body.
Phew.
The body of the subordinate who was opening the door before Zhu Lichen began to tremble.
It was because of the red sword that suddenly pierced his chest.
“Save me…”
Suddenly.
Cutting down the man along with the door.
A masked man came in.
In his hand was a familiar sword.
“They were all gathered here. A traitor who turned his back on a large country and a rat from a small country.”
Even though his face is covered with a mask.
Taehyun immediately knew who he was.
“You still have bad mouth habits. “On the topic of intruders.”
At Taehyun’s mockery, he spoke calmly.
Wow.
The man removed the mask himself.
“You all…!!”
The moment when Zhu Lichen confirmed the man’s identity in a trembling voice.
Kyaang.
The blood sword swung towards Jurichen was blocked by Taehyun’s Reddick.
“Am I invisible? or not.”
Kyaang!!
Taehyun swung his sword again and the man’s body was pushed back.
“Are you still deluded that you have the upper hand?”
Wow.
The masked man bit his teeth.
“Kim Tae-hyun. As expected, we have to tear you apart first to proceed.”
Despite the fierce threat of Zhang Linfeng.
Taehyun just used his skills calmly.
