55 – Couple, Short
***
A woman called the host was sitting on the sofa and reading the results of the event held by the host.
“Damn it… This kind of event works?”
I wondered what fun there would be in just setting up a scarecrow and having it beat up.
“I never thought they would let spectators place bets… How much profit did they make?”
Even by spreading information not only to existing spectators but also to other seekers, tens of millions of participants were attracted at once.
“How much did you spend on advertising? I heard that you are a very talented person, but you seem to have considerable financial resources…”
For a moment, what the host said came to mind.
The game should be extremely simple. Gone are the days when complex and political elements were popular. Try to understand the parasitic bug mission you went on in that context.
“··· What do you mean, that’s damn…”
At her academy, she was always top in practical skills, but she was last in theory, and there was nothing more annoying than being told to understand.
When I briefly looked at the posts posted on the bulletin board of the facilitators’ meeting, posts ridiculing and insulting myself were posted as popular posts.
Softly-
“Someday they will tear it all apart, those bug-like bastards!”
But for that, points were needed. Fair compensation given according to the results of my actions.
“For now, let’s follow the organizer. It’s not at all what I thought, but anyway, the inflow has started to increase again due to this event. If the signs get worse later, you can intervene then.”
I was furious that the host was unable to become the main agent of the proceedings due to the trick being caught and suffered the humiliation of being criticized by his classmates.
Because the organizer prevented the inspector’s disciplinary action to a minimal level, he was able to remain free.
So, I was somewhat grateful to the organizer. But…
“It looks like they’re plotting something, but I don’t know what it is… Tsk…”
After resting her chin for a moment and rolling her head thoughtfully, she began to wag her tail as she saw the point that this event had brought her.
“It’s comfortable…”

She said as a man called the host looked at the giant sitting across from her.
“How do you like the direction in which things are going?”
“Hmph! I fell because I was weak! I’m not as good as a bug!”
“hehehe… There’s nothing we can do because there are restrictions.”
“···Do you really think it is possible?”
“As you know, there is no such thing as ‘absolutely’ for slaves. But I can’t help but have expectations. Isn’t this something unique that I haven’t found in a long time?”
“Hmm…”
The host was smiling as she served the tea in a familiar manner, looking at the big man stroking her thick beard with one hand, her hair fluffy.

Eun-chae and Ka-hee were drunk and wandering around, but they were chatting non-stop.
“Aye! So- that’s it, you’re telling me to just go in tomorrow?”
“Heh… I’m embarrassed…”
“Oh, really! Now, look, I’m going to go into the room, and lie down next to me!”
“Hea… Mullamalla… Sleep hing.”
“Aww, that Gomtaeng bastard had a little sense… hehehehe”
However, Kahi’s feelings about giving advice to Eunchae were not entirely at ease.
This was because he had not yet organized his mind clearly.
Still, since Eun-chae said she had already made up her mind, all she did was talk about what to do.
“You can’t really give me your heart though~ Do you know what I mean?”
“···Yes…”
“···Heeheehee, so cute, our Eunchae, her cheeks look like glutinous rice cake~”
“Aww… It hurts~”
Of course, Eunchae had more than one thing to worry about. From fear of pregnancy to self-destruction as to whether I should have a baby at this age and raise it. Among them, my biggest worry right now was that he might reject me. Nevertheless, I decided to make use of my characteristics.
Na Eunchae (Lv.8) (20)
Stamina: 30
mana: 61
Strength: 16
Agility: 19
“Ah…”
It’s probably because of the ability level that makes you sigh.
As she leveled up, she was lucky enough to have a high level of magic.
‘If it goes up by 15%, still…’
Eunchae saw people disappearing after the shelter collapsed during the first episode, so she just wanted to contribute even a little to the defense of the shelter.
‘Even if there is a right to copy characteristics, it is still difficult if the basic abilities are not supported.’
And I also had a little feeling that it would be okay if he was an old man.
For a moment, she thought of the large man.
‘··· I don’t think it’ll be okay…’
I just hoped that he wouldn’t be too scary.
.
.
.
The next day, I woke up early in the morning and looked around the shelter carefully.
I continued jogging, taking a quick look at a total of 10 teams around the shelter.
“It’s definitely decreased a lot…”
Now there were a lot more empty spaces. Of course, there will be more space created when the shelters are combined.
“Unless they’re visiting from somewhere else, I don’t really see any teams worth watching out for.”
I got that feeling as I walked around and looked at the mana and strength values.
“And when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, I’m now confident that 10 people can attack me at the same time.”
Silver Dog (Lv.9) (20)
Stamina: 65
mana: 295 (+110)
Strength: 812 (+759)
Agility: 135 (+84)
– Status ailment resistance +7%
– Spirit affinity +1
Points held: 10,544,596
“hehehe… I can’t help but laugh at this.”
If you think about it simply, the strength has become nearly 30 times stronger than the initial strength.
Try to run slowly and gradually increase your speed. Soon, it started moving forward at an explosive speed as if its body had a booster.
Every time I pushed off the ground with my foot, the wind pressure hitting my face went up several levels.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Reduce your speed by rubbing your feet on the ground at the same speed you were running at, then turn 90 degrees and run again several times.
“Tsk tsk tsk… I’m really going crazy.”
The feeling of my body being greatly strengthened gave me an inexplicable sense of elation and satisfaction.
It was as if each cell was alive and pulsating.
Of course, my points will decrease as I purchase equipment soon, but I plan to enjoy it for today.
“If you’re going to fit the equipment, it would be better to buy it quickly so you can get used to it.”
After running around like crazy for a while, I was returning to the shelter.
“Because the physical strength cannot keep up with the increased strength and agility, the physical strength quickly runs out. It’s like a high-performance racing car with a small fuel tank.”
＜00:00:22＞
As the stage start time approaches, you can see places where people are gathered together in the shelter.
“Those must be places that passed 21.”
＜00:00:00＞
Blah blah blah!
As soon as time was up, some shelters were wrapped hundreds of times in red thorn vines, and the shelters were instantly covered with green vines.
“Huh… The picture is very different from what we expected…”
Ta-da, time did not stop.
As I slowly approached a shelter, I could see people inside through the huge thorny vines.
“···Petrification?”
Everyone’s skin changed as if covered in gray powder, and their movements stopped.
“Is this… Really okay?”
Suddenly I became worried about Ling Ling. I haven’t received any messages since last night, hmm…
I walked towards the shelter feeling a little uneasy.
Outside the shelter, Hyuna Kim was warming up her body.
“······”
“··· Good morning?”
“··· I wish we could spar quickly.”
“Hmm, what do you mean? Then right away without eating?”
“··· Let’s do that.”
‘Ugh… I can’t treat you properly, really…’
Everyone in the shelter was gathered in the hall, and their eyes were all sparkling.
‘Watching the fight is the most fun…’
– Resident Hyuna Kim has applied for sparring. Do you agree? Y/N
‘Ah, it wasn’t a fight outside.’
“I do.”
– The practice room is temporarily open.
“Oh, the practice room.”
In an instant, Hyuna Kim and I were transported to a place with a dark brown wooden floor.
I silently took the knuckles out of my pocket and put them on my hands.
Strength: 842 (+759) (+30)
“···Are you not wearing a cape?”
“Let’s take that out.”
‘I didn’t even wear shoes.’
After wriggling her eyebrows for a moment, she slowly moved to the side, twirling her Suroichi Greatsword and assuming her top stance.
‘Wow~ That makes me feel like a real medieval warrior. The posture is different.’
Stamina: ??
mana: 174
Strength: 64
Agility: ??
[Focusing all my attention on you.]
‘Other abilities will be no match for me. But his physical strength is at least 20 higher than mine. ‘Let’s go for a short fight!’

Without any special signal, he ran straight towards Kim Hyun-ah.
“···Ugh!”
She probably didn’t know that my speed was this high, so she couldn’t shake me off as I was headbutting her to the body, so she bent her knees and put her great sword back on the ground and took her defensive stance.
Just like I did in the morning, I turned sharply to the left and kicked with my left foot.
– Kaaang!
‘Wow, you’re blocking this?’
When she kicked, I thought this could be the end, but she put her sword on her right shoulder and defended herself.
‘But…’
We can’t leave her with her posture so broken.
‘I’ll do my best and finish it quickly.’
Perhaps Kim Hyun-ah also wants me to do my best.
Next right hook
– Empty!
– Puzzle!
“aaah!”
‘Even if I block it, a streak of lightning comes out…’
For some reason, I feel like I’m being treated like a bastard, but wouldn’t it be meaningless to shout out, “That bastard is a bastard after death?” Whatever the reason, I am stronger.
Her shield must have been shredded by the lightning bolt, and after receiving the electric shock effect for a moment, her movements were also slightly slowed.
She quickly took a step to the side.
‘Slow.’
A straight shot to the face again
– Bang!
– Przygic!
“Profit!”
I managed to block it, but another hit!
– Took!
– Pzizijk!
“Kahahahahah!”
When she took advantage of the electric shock and raised her palm to brush her chin, her knees gave out and she stumbled greatly.
He grabbed her by the scruff of her neck as her upper body was leaning forward, and kicked her in the abdomen with his knee.
– Oh my!
“Kuhuh!··· Kehehehe!”
Before she knew it, her shield had run out and she collapsed to the floor, clutching her stomach and gasping for air.
A very easy victory.
‘I went to Dalian when I had the most points…’
[It is difficult to breathe due to great pain.]
‘It will take a little time’
In a moment.
“··· I lost, I lost…”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
– The sparring ends.
.
.
.
As soon as she finished sparring and was moved to the shelter, people laid Hyuna Kim down and quickly fed her some potion.
‘I guess I’ll need some time to control my strength… I hit it pretty gently, hmm.’
She didn’t bother to ask Kim Hyun-ah if she was okay.
From my experience of working at the gym for several years, my pride was hurt the most when I heard those words.
Still, I couldn’t help but be worried.
[I am concentrating on getting my breathing back.]
‘Hmm… But it seems to be stabilizing little by little.’
I took out a drink from the refrigerator, drank it, and replayed the battle just before.
‘It seems that speed has a very big effect on interpersonal combat. No matter how good your other abilities are, if you can’t hit or avoid them, they’re meaningless.’
This is probably the same reason why many people had difficulty with that monster on stage 25.
‘I said it was incredibly fast. That boss guy.’
Will you be faster than me now? Hmm… I guess I’ll have to ask Hyuna when she wakes up.
“The points received from the event seem to have a great effect.”
I said that while leisurely sitting on the sofa.
Everyone knows that I have the characteristics of a wealthy person, so other people also shook their heads.
[Raises expectations for clearing a little.]
[I wonder if I can freeze an opponent who is as fast as you.]
[I feel a great sense of security when I look at you.]
[When I see you, my mind turns white.]
‘…Hmm? ‘Is Eunchae’s reaction a bit unusual?’
