Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 172

Episode 172. Reception at night (1)

While arranging plans for a while, Jinhyeok approached Yoshio.

The point is to shake your hand lightly as if you are saying hello to a friend you haven’t seen in a while.

It’s a bonus to smile broadly as if it doesn’t hurt.

“what. What?”

However, Yoshio’s reaction was not very good. As if the blade had risen, the gaze filled with vigilance poured into Jinhyeok.

Is that a natural reaction?

“Don’t be so harsh. Our first impression wasn’t very good, but it doesn’t have to be like that in the future, right?”

Jinhyuk shrugged.

At the same time, the middle finger and thumb lightly collided.

Fuck!

OK.

[The sub-space inventory is open.]

Something familiar appeared beyond the shimmering space.

The pure white sword body was impressive… It was the ‘Cheongchong Ungeom’, one of the three types of sacred weapons.

“omg!”

The sound of taking a deep breath.

Yoshio’s pupils shook rapidly when he saw the relic lost in the samurai guild again.

I can’t help but be upset

Because I was in a state where all of Japan was turning on the lights to find this right now.

“How is this…?”

To Yoshio’s question, Jinhyeok replied calmly.

“I heard Liaoyu had it. You might have thought of it as an ally, but he was actually the one who stole the sacred relic from Japan.”

“That can’t be. We are allied with China. Are you telling me to believe you did this?”

“Are you talking about an alliance that puts on a smiley mask on the outside and stabs each other in the back whenever they make a mistake?”

Why are players like this?

You probably know that historically, there is no such thing as an alliance that lasts forever.

Chinese and samurai also promised to climb the tower together on the surface, but it was a relationship that could become enemies overnight depending on each other’s interests.

“Are you really sure? Are they reliable comrades you can count on on the battlefield?”

“That’s…”

Yoshio slurred. It’s because I questioned myself whether the word “trustworthy” could stick in front of them.

Jinhyeok, who read the confused feelings, quickly added a word.

“And I’m not hoping for anything grandiose. I just came to ask you to accept this sword.”

“…thanks. On behalf of the samurai guild, I express my gratitude to you.”

Yoshio reluctantly nodded.

They said they would return the relic without any cost, but couldn’t they just refuse?

It can’t be helped that he still feels uncomfortable, but Yoshio quickly shakes off his thoughts.

good.

this is done

Jinhyeok approached Cheon Yooseong this time.

Thanks to the chaotic gap, the scene of the two talking did not attract much attention.

“What pun are you trying to play with again?”

Chun Yuseong clicked his tongue.

Why is this guy getting annoyed just by looking at his face?

Isn’t it time to feel sorry for you?

“People try to give you something good, but what are your eyes?”

“Are you giving me something nice?”

“okay. The tailor said I’d get you a weapon.”

Not cheap, but a good sword that suits the swordsman.

I have come to keep that promise.

At Jinhyeok’s words, Chun Yuseong raised his eyes in surprise.

“…Are you really willing to give me the sword?”

“cancer! It’s a promise I made with the swordsmen of the world, not anyone else, so of course I have to keep it.”

“I can’t believe it when I see you talk loudly…”

“Try to trust me one last time. There is a saying that blessings come to those who believe.”

“Whoa. so. Where is that sword?”

…it took

A fish with a nasty temperament as well as being picky snapped at the bait.

It’s important from here.

Jinhyeok made an expression of guilt and apologetic mixture as much as possible.

It was such a perfect empathy that if there were Hollywood directors, they would cast them on the street right away.

“That’s it. I really wanted to give it to you, but it was just taken away.”

Awesome!

The sound of grinding molars resonated particularly loudly.

It seemed that he was very angry at the tendons protruding from his forehead.

“You bastard again…”

“No no wait. Uh huh I’m not drawing a sword here. don’t cut with it Don’t even try to stab me. really die Are you going to die?”

Jinhyuk hurriedly lowered his head.

I’m not joking, I really casted a top cut.

If it was someone else, my neck would have said goodbye to my body and I would have rolled around on the ground.

“I’m not doing this to lift the pills. Did you get a really good sword? But I was taken away before I got here.”

“To whom?”

“There…”

Jinhyeok’s fingertips pointed at a man.

It was a man with a bright smile holding a sword that was unusual even at first glance.

“I said I would give you a present. That friend said that this sword is not suitable for a kid who does not know how to handle a sword.”

Suffice it to say.

In Chun Yoo-seong’s eyes, he could see a deep life-like feeling blooming.

“Wait. Because the story isn’t over yet.”

“Well, if you want, I’ll become a manger and wait forever. Do your best and get your sword back! Oh and that sword. Since it’s a gift from me, can’t you ask for another later?”

Jinhyeok cheered hard for that figure from behind.

[Conditions have been met.]

[The selected skill is ‘Balken Sword’.]

[Copied skills are stored in ‘Memory of the World.

‘ couldn’t compete

Above all, he wields his sword without hesitation, so what can he do to stop it?

Thanks to this, I was able to successfully blow my nose without touching it.

Watching Yoshio being taken by the managers to the emergency room prepared in the annex, Jinhyeok put his hands together.

I believe this would have been enough to convey my sorry feelings. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll buy you a drink or something later.

‘good. good. very good.’

Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied.

After all, being a colleague is a precious law.

Because I was able to use it to my heart’s content when I needed it.

Then… where

should I organize the long-awaited rewards?

There were a lot of things to do, including the bonus stats accumulated through leveling up and what abilities to copy.

Jinhyeok activated his personal status window.

Tring!

——————————————————

Jinhyeok pondered over the happy number of 36 stats.

I carefully organized my thoughts on where and how much to invest to create the most efficient synergy.

‘When I was fighting the Nameless guy… I definitely lacked strength.’

I followed the reaction speed, but when I offset the attack, I felt a lot of pressure.

It was a proof that his strength was lacking compared to other stats.

[Strength increases from 25→50.]

I boldly invested 25 stats.

At the same time, I could feel the muscles in my whole body changing.

Should I say that I can’t control my strength as if I put steroids on it?

It’s not that the size of the muscles has grown… but the density has definitely become so hard that it can’t even be compared to before.

Jinhyeok lightly gripped the marble table.

Crunchy!

Like playing with clay.

Fingers dug into the marble.

‘This crazy…’

He didn’t even use the giant’s grip, but his normal grip was almost at the level of a monster.

It was a scene where the reward of raising the strength stat twice was revealed without filtering.

‘There’s no way I’ll run out of strength for the time being at this level.’

Next is horsepower.

In order to use various unique abilities and skills, mana was a stat that could not be emphasized enough.

Without hesitation, Jinhyeok invested all of his remaining stats into magic.

[Magic power increases from 110 to 121.]

“Whoa…”

Jinhyeok closed his eyes and felt the magical energy flowing through his whole body.

Whoa!

Gently circulating magical energy spread pleasantly to every corner of her body.

Now there is one last one left.

One of the most important things.

Jinhyuk calmed his trembling heart.

I’ve seen tons of skills and unique abilities, but honestly, I’m still not sure which one to choose.

‘First, let’s leave the player out of the question.’

There was an opportunity to copy it at any next opportunity.

Aside from all of them, there were plenty of potential prey such as residents, managers, and boss monsters, but it was too wasteful to use this opportunity for the player.

‘Nameless’ ability isn’t bad either.’

I could be sure because I was the one who had personally fought.

The ability that he used is that the offense and defense change freely, and the balance is also perfect.

‘Pendariel’s Black Death that I fought in the Zombie Plant was also an ability I wanted to collect if possible.’

Sweet potato’s unique vocal chant and Alice’s unique ability were also listed as top candidates, but these were also excluded because they were universally shared.

The trouble deepened.

There were so many points of contact with strong guys, so the decision was all the more difficult.

How many minutes had passed like that?

Finally, Jinhyeok opened his mouth.

“I will copy Osiris’ unique ability.”

Even compared to the ancient species, the strongest living beings are not pushed at all.

If it is the ability of the absolute person who controls the rules of the tower…

I could be sure that it was a choice worthy of the long-awaited opportunity.

[Trait ability ‘Sanctuary of the Sun’ has been copied.]

[Copied ability is stored in ‘Memory of the World’.]

42nd Floor. A unique ability that encompassed the entirety of [White Oasis].

Acquired the strongest wide-area weapon capable of reproducing the power of the sun.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Jinhyuk burst into madness as if he had lost his mind.

People around me looked at me like crazy, but it didn’t matter.

I felt like I had the whole world, but I was able to lightly laugh at other people’s gazes.

＊＊＊

About 5 hours later.

Hastings, Rick, and the tower’s administrators have finished cleaning up the matter.

The Moorim and Chinese guilds who intervened in the system were paid a fair price.

Of course, since the Chinese Guild was practically half-destroyed, the penalty was meaningless.

Since Moorim confiscated all of the coins it had accumulated so far, the damage would be difficult to recover no matter how much time passed.

After such eventful events were over, a grand reception was held in the ballroom.

It is the end of the faction selection battle and a place where the factions and players sign contracts.

Finally.

The end of the masquerade has begun.
