get a load

    "Sheesh! I remain."

    "So."

    No, shouldn''t this hyung be touched a little?

    "But, brother. I have a question.

    What?

    "Where did you learn martial arts?"

    "Everyone is talking about it. I didn''t learn anything."

    "Wow, but are you like that?"

    "You just have to train hard."

    "What kind of training?"

    "Oh, that''s very annoying."

    "Hehe, please teach me a lesson."

    At Dong-soo''s nucksal, Suho smiled.

    "What good?"

    Dongsoo brought his ear closer to Suho''s gesture. Can I get rid of my secrets so easily?

    Maybe he''s a bigger person than this hyung looks?

    "You can run, fight, and work hard."

    Yes?

    What?

    Can you see this brother''s personality?

    "100 push-ups, running for an hour, isn''t that what it sounds like?"

    "Well, it''s similar. If you stick with it, you get stronger."

    "Ha."

    Dong-soo, who sighed involuntarily, smiled awkwardly.

    "Haha, that''s funny."

    fun? I almost died."

    He ran, fought, and worked hard to survive.

    brother. You mentioned earlier that you are interested in broadcasting, do you watch my channel?"

    What is it?

    Yes? Don''t you watch YouTube?

    Youtube?

    "Wow . Where in the mountains did you live?"

    "I used to live in a similar place."

    What concept is this bro?

    "Haha, look here."

    Dongsu took out his cell phone and showed the channel.

    "Can you see the subscribers here?"

    "1284?"

    "Hey, can you see this beautiful number?"

    Suho, who was looking at him, asked.

    "Is there over 100,000 here?"

    "Well, he''s actually famous. Anyway, I have a lot of subscribers these days."

    When the game was broadcast, Dongsu, who barely managed to get over 800 people, shouted a mercenary challenge, and the contents he prepared became popular and surpassed the 1,000 subscribers of Ma.

    "It will be fun."

    "Is that right? I''ll also make an appearance for you when I do a live broadcast."

    Good.

    "Haha, start with my subscription. First, open YouTube and click here... ."

    Suho was invited to the world of YouTube.

    "Oh, these guys are really funny."

    Dong-soo played the video, and Su-ho laughed for a while.

    "Wow, that''s a bummer. Do you have anything else?"

    "It''s a lot of fun too."

    YouTube Jjjambap 3 years.

    Every video recommended by Dong-soo was fun.

    "Wow, this must be delicious."

    "Among the kids who eat mukbang, there are a lot of kids who overdo it even though it''s not really tasty."

    okay?

    Suho fell in love with the mukbang channel.

    ''I''ll have to go from here when I leave after the exam.''

    After watching the food show, I was hungry.

    "What time is dinner?"

    "It''s six o''clock."

    "What is the menu?"

    "It''s called potato soup."

    Five! Are you looking forward to it?"

    This is the menu you saw in the video earlier.

    It''s been ten days since I returned to Earth, but there are still more things I haven''t tried than the ones I''ve eaten.

    "Ah, brother. The food is there. What do you expect so much? I know a house that is really good at gamjatang, and I will take you there next time."

    "You are such a nice guy!"

    Dongsoo smiled inwardly.

    ''This is a relationship.''

    He is a mercenary with a handsome face, good physique, and a promising future as long as he gets a license.

    Because the test results are all-time high, a scout offer from a famous guild will also come.

    In this way, I made a bond with the future celebrity.

    "Hehe, I don''t hear people say that I have a bad personality wherever I go."

    Suho shook his head and said as if he had made a big decision.

    "I like you. Join my clan."

    Yes?

    Dongsoo thought for a moment.

    What is this brother''s purpose?

    "Are you going to make a clan? Isn''t it a guild interview?

    Huh.

    "Uh, uhm."

    Working in the same clan as getting to know each other to invite them as broadcast guests is another story.

    ''no. This might be an opportunity.''

    Making a video of clan establishment?

    The clan of Suho that also broke the record for the first place in the practical evaluation?

    All sorts of aggressive titles come to mind.

    ''This is bound to be a jackpot.''

    Dongsu asked, who quickly finished calculating the profit and loss.

    "Can I put this and that on YouTube?"

    "Oh, do whatever you want."

    good! Let''s grow together."

    Usually, it starts with friends, or sometimes with like-minded training camp mates or test mates.

    Anyone can form a clan, including only three mercenaries. As fame builds up, the number of battlefields that seek the clan increases, and the size increases.

    Of course, there are many clans that disintegrate before developing into a guild, but the current guilds all started with small clans.

    "However, the first establishment requires three people ."

    smart!

    The initiate, who swallowed the horse at the sound of the knock, shouted at the door.

    "Open! Come on in.

    The door opened and a bald man entered.

    Will you be the same age? He was quite handsome, even with bald hair on his face.

    "Namu Amitabha Buddha!"

    Ah!

    A bald-haired man wearing a gray monk''s robe and holding a wooden table.

    Dong-soo could easily recognize the man''s identity. I was just surprised for a moment to see a young monk my age.

    "Can the rook enter?"

    "Uh, uhm."

    Looking back in hopes of a decision, Dong-soo nodded his head willingly.

    "Come in."

    Come on in.

    "Bodhisattva Guanyin."

    The monk with his arms crossed bowed his head and came inside.

    He led him to an empty bed with a faint smile on his face.

    "Write it here."

    "Amita Buddha."

    He sat down on the bed and smiled softly.

    Suho, who needs to have a reaction, is lying on his pillow.

    ''Gee, what a terrible silence!''

    Is it like a fight?

    I didn''t look like a hyung to do that.

    Dong-soo is the type of person who keeps the TV on even in the house where he is alone.

    I had no choice but to take the initiative in the awkward atmosphere that was difficult to bear and open my mouth.

    "Um, can we introduce ourselves?"

    It was a stupid comment, but there was a response.

    okay.

    As Suho looked at Pak Pak without saying a word, the monk answered.

    "Heh heh, So-seung is called Myung-jin. If you have any questions, just ask."

    "Are you really bald?"

    Wow, this brother. You''re asking questions that you won''t even be able to do in elementary school.

    Dong-soo couldn''t keep his mouth shut in embarrassment, but Myeong-jin responded kindly.

    "The monk shaves his head every time."

    The young monk has a good personality.

    A fellow initiate asked a common-sense question.

    "Um, how old are you?"

    "The So-seung had forgotten her worldly age, but she had a sister who was two years older than her, and she must have turned twenty-five by now."

    You say you''re 23 years old.

    "But what do Korean monks do with Soseung? It''s terribly creepy. haha.

    "Haha, this is trendy among young monks these days."

    " ."

    Wow, is this an inter-temporal luncheon?

    In an awkward atmosphere, Dong-soo hurriedly introduced himself.

    "I am 23 years old. It''s a handful. It''s a YouTube method that will grow big in the future."

    "I am 33 years old. Park Soo-ho."

    Dong-soo was surprised to reveal Su-ho''s age, who intervened.

    no! Are you really 33? I thought you were like me."

    "You''re my brother?"

    "No, that''s because he fights better than me, so he''s my brother."

    All the people who fight better than myself in the concept of the same number, who are handsome, and who are the stars are all older brothers.

    "Wow, but you''re really young."

    At first glance, all three appear to be in their early 20s.

    Well. I wish there were just two more."

    Myungjin said with a smile.

    "On the way Soseung was coming, I looked around and it seemed like everyone had a team."

    Ah ."

    Dong-soo frowned.

    It''s a test with a security guard, but wouldn''t it be dangerous to attack a level 1 dungeon with three people?

    He glanced at Suho.

    ''Isn''t there a problem?''

    If it''s a Suho who looks like he''s already surpassed an F-class with just his physical abilities, then his combat power is not a problem.

    What I''m worried about is that I don''t have the various awakening skills, so the clear time will be longer due to the various variables of the dungeon.

    Skills such as clearing traps and exploring are not very helpful in battle, but very helpful in dungeon capture.

    "Um, sorry, but should we form a team? Or maybe combine with another room for three people."

    Suho made a decision.

    Good! let''s do it with three You too, join the clan."

    "Ugh. The Theravada already belongs."

    "Then get out."

    Dong-soo quickly intervened in Su-ho''s determination.

    "Oh, wait a minute. I will convince you."

    It''s a clan or something, and tomorrow''s test is going to have to go through. Three is better than two

    Dong-soo brought Myeong-jin out and asked.

    "Where do you belong to?"

    "I studied at Bonnimsa."

    "Ah, that''s me. So, will you die if you get a mercenary license?"

    Myungjin shook his head with a sad face.

    "I am trying to train by fighting the demons."

    "Then there will be no problem. A clan is just like working as a team in the future."

    "If that''s the case, then there is no problem with the Theravada."

    Myung-jin entered the room and joined in.

    "Soseung will be with you."

    Good!

    Suho shook his head with a proud face.

    ''You have two men.''

    Except for the dog that will be wallowing around the house, the actual load is two.

    "Shouldn''t we practice slowly too?"

    Suho gently shook his head.

    "It''s six. Eat first!"

    Talking about it, it''s already evening.

    The three of us arrived at the restaurant, led by Suho, who had the highest expectations for the luncheon.

    We waited in turn, got our food, and sat down at the dining room, when we heard gossip behind us.

    "Hey, what''s that combination?"

    "Isn''t he number one? There''s one spot left on our team, would you like to seduce me?

    "I was in the same room as that monk, but I hit my awakening skill. Curse."

    "Huh, sir?"

    It was too loud to say they were whispering among themselves, so Suho and Dongsoo could hear it.

    "Do you know how to do curses?"

    "Heh heh, how can a Buddhist have such a bad heart?"

    "Haha, then, what is Myeongjin-nim''s Awakening Superpower?"

    Myeong-jin answered Dong-soo''s question as if he was a little embarrassed.

    "It''s just the clear sound of a wooden rattle that gives evil spirits a sympathy."

    This bastard is cursed

    However, since we are on the same side from now on, we have refined our words as much as possible.

    "Haha, you are a debuff type. I am filming."

    Yes?

    "Fufu, you are surprised, too. It''s the ability that only bone marrow broadcasters like me awaken. I can store the things I see and hear in my mana stones."

    The trajectory of life before awakening greatly affects the first awakening superpower.

    ''Video memory'' is a superpower that is common to some camera directors and broadcasters.

    They do the same thing when they wake up. They take pictures of otherworldly scenery or battles, and make and distribute videos.

    "Aren''t you so useless?"

    "Heh heh heh."

    "Hehe, I only trust you."

    Suho smirked at their reaction.

    "I have nothing to practice. Rather, don''t you eat potato soup?"

    "The theravada does not enjoy eating meat ."

    I feel a burning desire.

    Eyes full of anticipation.

    " Have it."

    "You are a good boy."

    Dong-soo clicked his tongue as he saw Su-ho quickly taking it away.

    "No, brother. Why do you like lunch so much?"

    "Isn''t this delicious?"

    It''s not like I''m being rude.

    "After the exam, I will definitely shoot a restaurant for gamjatang."

    "I also had one subordinate well."

    this is the ability

    In the wild, it is a skill if you know the hunting grounds well, and here it is a skill if you know the restaurant well.

    got a competent load.

    Yes? load?"

    uh. Load.

    "Haha, brother. Let''s take a moment to be with the clan."

    I took down the bones of the gamjatang that Suho was eating. His earnest eyes seemed to be unfamiliar with something.

    "Is it betrayal?"

    " Oh, no."

    Wait a minute?

    "Namu Amitabha ." Except for the flames, Myeongjin''s eyes were moist.

    17. Proof of Eligibility

    The last test day was bright.

    The 168 test takers who were reorganized into 19 teams went to the dungeon by bus.

    Of course, I thought I was going out of the field, but the bus stopped 20 minutes after it started.

    "Isn''t this a park?"

    "Yes, it is a park."

    "Is there a portal here?"

    Dong-soo replied casually, as if he was asking something obvious.

    "I just parked here, I guess over there?"

    The appearance of a portal in the middle of a two-lane road a little far from the park gave me a strange feeling.

    The difference from the field is that it is a mercenary company, not an army, that manages the dungeon.

    "It''s the Phoenix Guild. This is the phoenix realm."

    Phoenix? Are you famous?"

    "Well, it''s not even the 12th guild, but it''s quite famous."

    The old administrative district is meaningless. Districts 1 to 12 are more familiar to those who have flocked to Seoul to survive in a world that has gone crazy after the cataclysm.

    It is absurd for the state to manage all portals that appear and disappear every day. A private mercenary company was recruited to take charge of the defense of 12 districts, and the 12 selected guilds were called the 12 major guilds in Seoul.

    Guilds have the duty to safely clear and destroy the dungeons that occur in their area, and have the right to profit from the process.

    dimensional industry.

    Dungeon raiding is a business itself.

    Just as there are subcontractors under large corporations, lower-level dungeons are managed and supervised by a small guild.

    The criterion for dividing a guild and a clan, a private mercenary company, is whether or not a defense treaty has been signed with the state.

    "It''s an area."

    Suho was temperamental.

    Isn''t this like a hunting ground recognized by the state?

    "It''s good to have your own dungeon. Until then, you just have to pay the fee to go."

    Good. Our clan is also targeting the guild."

    Myeongjin, who is usually less talkative, interrupted Suho''s declaration.

    "Sir, shouldn''t you first become a mercenary?"

    "Haha, brother. We will go too."

    The test takers had already gone to the Ururu Portal and waited for their turn to enter.

    Sergeant Kim Sang-sik, who became the examiner for Team 21 in place of Soo-young Choi, greeted the team members.

    "We are the last. Are you all confident?"

    Absolutely.

    "Ugh."

    "Namu Amitabha Buddha."

    It''s such a weird combination.

    Kim Sang-sik said with a smile.

    "When the most dangerous moment comes, I will intervene, but I will not intervene."

    Kim Sang-sik''s role is the examiner. This is a position to watch and evaluate their dungeon attack process.

    "If you fail to clear the dungeon, you will lose all power. Success does not mean that all members are passed, and team members who wish to be inexperienced are eliminated. You just have to be faithful to your role."

    A commercial building near the portal on the road was completely emptied and was playing the role of a control tower.

    I went to the locker room and put on the battle suit I was given.

    It is a common combat uniform used by the military, and since there are solid guards attached to each major part, the role of a sword was faithful. Wearing a protective helmet and even a dagger that was given to me gave me the feeling of a special forces force.

    "The dungeon we will be entering today is a labyrinth-type level 1 dungeon with a limit of 12 people. It is the lowest level among level 1 dungeons. If we cooperate well, there will be no difficulty in attacking."

    During the briefing, Dong-soo asked if he was nervous.

    "Is it possible for the three of us?"

    Kim Sang-sik''s gaze slowly turned to Suho.

    "I think it is possible."

    Suho patted Dongsoo on the shoulder.

    "What are you so afraid of?"

    "Hey, what are you afraid of? I was just asking out of boredom."

    The previous team entered the dungeon in turn.

    Most teams are made up of ten or nine players, and the smallest is seven.

    Suho''s team consists of only three people.

    Kim Sang-sik said while entering one by one.

    Oh. The first team to come out will be rewarded with paid equipment."

    There was a reason I got off the bus and ran into the dungeon with my flag on. The later you enter, the more you lose.

    The battlesuit and helmet alone cost 10 million won. Now, this is a formidable amount for newbies jumping into the mercenary market.

    "The exam fee has been paid."

    Dong-soo shook his head at Su-ho''s benevolent smile.

    The lowest difficulty even in level 1 dungeons.

    Hunting is not a concern for him either, but the problem is the maze and traps.

    "Uh-huh, it would have been easier if only I had search skills."

    If the mercenaries saved money for nothing, they didn''t buy the search skill book first.

    "I am."

    Yes? He said that his awakening skill is a shop or something."

    uh. After that, I learned something new."

    Dong-soo''s pupils shook at the sight of Suho speaking insignificantly.

    ''Is it a gold spoon?''

    It''s a skill book that does 3,000 if you can''t.

    Did you already learn it before the mercenary exam?

    "Come on, it''s our car. The moment I enter, I just have to treat myself as someone I don''t have and act."

    All the previous teams entered the portal, and it was the 21st team''s turn.

    Papa!

    "Oh, I''m not used to it."

    When Suho frowned at the foreign sensation of floating, Dong-soo, who followed, was startled.

    brother! Ownership boundaries."

    The examiner is watching. You must act according to the manual.

    Kiye!

    Dongsoo''s face hardened.

    ''It''s a deduction.''

    The first thing to do is to enter quietly and secure a safe zone, but I made a sound to get the monster''s attention... .

    Puck Puck!

    Watching Suho lightly smashed the two skeletons rushing, Dongsu quickly shook his head.

    "To induce and entice monsters with a sound to catch them! You are doing great as you work."

    Huh?

    Before Suho could say anything in vain, Dongsoo spoke quickly.

    "Brother, what is the next operation?"

    "Go straight!"

    Suho progressed step by step.

    Kim Sang-sik laughed when Dong-su, who was following him, glanced behind him.

    "Even if you keep looking at me, it''s not good for grading. Don''t worry about me, just focus on the attack.

    "Oh, yes."

    Dong-soo and Myeong-jin also followed Su-ho with their daggers in case something unexpected happened.

    puck! puck!

    Skeletons that rushed in and collapsed as the skulls burst with one punch at a time.

    "Would you like to catch one too?"

    Yes?

    When you kill a monster, the dimensional energy they hold is absorbed. The more it accumulates, the stronger the Awakened.

    For a team, the distribution of experience is as sensitive and important as the distribution of revenue.

    "Come on, do it."

    Suho tapped the sides of the two skeletons that were just rushing, and let them flow backwards.

    Kiye!

    "Huh!"

    "Ugh!"

    Dong-soo and Myeong-jin were embarrassed by the sudden confrontation, but they soon held a dagger and shared a studio with each other.

    Chaeyoung, Chaechang!

    The old club wielded by the skeleton was threatening enough.

    perk.

    "Ugh!"

    Dong-soo, who was hit in the side, took a deep breath.

    He''s not the kind to look at.

    ''It''s not at the level of a joke.''

    The tension seems to have eased as Suho caught him so easily.

    This is a dungeon.

    There is no place to let your guard down even for a moment.

    Papa! puck!

    Still, a body that learned various martial arts while doing gym content. Dongsu was able to defeat the skeleton without difficulty.

    "Whoa. Better than a dagger."

    Dongsu picked up the club of the fallen skeleton.

    Meanwhile, Myeongjin also finished the hunt.

    "May you live in paradise."

    Myeongjin, who once again prayed for the well-being of the already dead skeleton, picked up the club.

    Seeing the two of them fighting, Suho grinned.

    "Now I feel like growing a little."

    The first subordinates who have achieved their combat power look poor, but you can teach them slowly and well.

    Suho, who was moving a few meters again, stopped.

    "Aren''t you feeling something wrong?"

    Yeah? What''s going on with your quest?"

    "I didn''t write a skill."

    Ugh! So, have you come without any skills yet?"

    When Suho nodded, Dongsu was startled.

    ''I''m lucky that I didn''t run into a single trap.''

    The moment you learn a skill, how to use it is engraved in your brain.

    quest.

    When Suho activated the search, his sensitive senses were maximized and he scanned the surroundings. The alien energy felt from one side of the floor gently stepped on it.

    Flutter!

    Arrows fired from the ceiling fell and fell.

    "It''s a trap."

    Well. Brother, do you have any skills like trap clearing?"

    "No."

    "What? Monk, do you have any skills other than curses?"

    "Amitabha. He has a knack for sticking, but he has no other abilities."

    What a useless monk.

    Dong-soo tries to figure out a way, but Su-ho rolls his feet indifferently.

    Quang!

    Stones forming the bottom were smashed and the cave shook for a moment as if an earthquake had occurred. As a result, arrows fell from the hole in the ceiling and the trap broke.

    ''Is that a human kick? .''

    Dongsoo opened his mouth wide.

    Obviously, Suho''s physical abilities are not at the same F-level. Perhaps even more than the following examiner, Sang-Sik Kim.

    Keeek!

    Skeletons attracted to aggro in the commotion can be heard rushing in.

    ''Ahh!''

    One of the reasons why you should keep the trap clearing quiet.

    Deducted points for breaking the trap itself like this... .

    "Master Myungjin! Be prepared. The sheep-hunting operation has begun."

    It is perfect.

    Come on, score!

    This situation is an intentional operation.

    "There was a way."

    Suho smiled and ran away.

    Even if the dungeon of the same level 1 classification has a difference in grade, he gave more achievement points than the goblet.

    You only need to hunt two or three to get 1 achievement point.

    "Let''s wake up and leave."

    You can challenge other dungeons only by acquiring the mercenary certificate. Suho ran fast and started smashing the skeleton''s skull.

    There were several fork in the road, but Suho chose the path that felt the most serious life, and after a while, he was able to meet the dungeon boss, the Skeleton Warrior.

    "Hey, he''s holding a knife too."

    I think I had killed about 40 skeletons before coming to the boss room, but none of them had metal weapons.

    It has rusted here and there, but you can repair it and use it, or you can melt it and make a new sword.

    What can I say about the value of scrap metal in the yard where I pick up stones in the dungeon?

    Kiye!

    While dodging the sword of the skeleton warrior who rushed in with excitement, his fist struck the skull.

    Crisp!

    Whether it''s a warrior or a normal skeleton, one shot anyway.

    ; You have acquired 42 achievement points.

    ''Also. The boss is pretty cool.''

    The skull shattered, and he picked up spilled bloodstone and a rusty sword.

    Meanwhile, Myung-jin and Dong-soo collected valuable loot from the boss room.

    Zhuang!

    The boss of the dungeon disappeared and an exit portal was created.

    "Let''s go."

    Team 21 went out of the dungeon and Kim Sang-sik, who was left alone, looked around and laughed.

    Supervisor Kim Young-soo asked for a new God and told him to come and see Park Soo-ho without missing a single thing, and there was a reason.

    "The appearance of a super-special rookie."

    The fitness test was nothing.

    Son Jin-woo, who is ranked No. 1 in Korea, would not have been able to show such a performance in the actual dungeon.

    Kim Sang-sik, who came out of the portal, looked at Suho and asked for a handshake.

    Congratulations. You seem to be number one."

    "Are we all going through?"

    Kim Sang-sik smiled as he looked at Dong-soo with a slightly anxious expression.

    "All three seem to have no problem with the issuance of mercenary certificates."

    "Yes!"

    "Bodhisattva Guanyin."

    Seeing the two happy, Suho smiled.

    "Since it''s number one, can I not return this?"

    Yeah. Let''s go back with our personal belongings.

    After leaving the three of them heading to the locker room, Kim Sang-sik wrote a message to Major Kim Young-soo for a report.

    Tack, Tack.

    ; Estimated combat power of at least level C, advanced sensory ability estimation, additional confirmation of skill search .

    ; Judging from the above, it seems highly likely that he will become a ranker within 3 years.

    Kim Sang-sik, who sent a long message, greeted the team members changing clothes.

    "Let''s go back first."

    Huh? Right?"

    "Haha, I think the other team will have to wait a long time. Let''s go back to the bureau first.

    It is a dungeon with an average clear time of 4 hours.

    Recording a 37-minute clear time with a party of only 3 people... .

    ''It''s fun, it''s fun.''

    Things were looking good in the future.

    There was no way the guilds could leave this super-large rookie alone.
