Sang-soo, who was the first to arrive at the meeting place, turned his head at the sound of a trudging approach.
it’s teresa
“Are you here?”
Sangsu greeted with a tired voice.
“uh.”
Teresa answered with a tired look as well.
Both of them had a good day off in reality, but they looked tired.
Because he knew all too well what was to come.
After staring into space without a word for a while, Sang-soo asked like a man in a daze.
“Are you going to run too much again?”
“… … .”
Theresa didn’t bother to answer.
As if you don’t have to say that.
No, Teresa didn’t even have the energy to speak, so she didn’t open her mouth.
In the silence that fell, Teresa and Sang-su recalled the day they met Do-jin.
The very day I started hunting.
“Ugh… Ugh… I can’t do it anymore because I’m running out of stamina. Soso hasn’t learned how to recover stamina yet. If we keep going like this, we’re going to get exhausted, so I think we should go to the village and rest.”
As a chaser and sub-dealer, it was the appeal of Sang-soo who was tired the most from the hardest work.
However, as if Dojin expected everything, he took something out of his inventory and handed it to Sangsu.
[Stamina Potion]
It was a potion for restoring physical strength that most people did not carry around because of the high price.
Do-jin put the same thing in Teresa’s hand, saying, “If you’re tired, it’s bitter.”
Up until this point, the two thought Dojin was a very good person.
He was the kind of person who generously supported even expensive potions.
However, when nine hours had elapsed, Sangsoo and Teresa realized something was wrong.
“I guess I really need to rest. Not because of physical fatigue, but because of mental fatigue. Seeing that my vision is blurry, if it’s a little bit… … .」
“Me too. My vitality and stamina are fine, but seeing that I get dizzy from time to time, I… … .」
It was before the two of them had finished talking.
“Ah, it’s okay. Here, you can drink this.”
[speed]
Teresa and Sang-soo’s hands were also used for doping, and the drug that forcibly awakened the mind was held.
Did you say that drugs were given to soldiers during World War II?
The reason, he said, was to make people forget fear, drowsiness, fatigue, and hunger, and to function as a fighting machine whether or not a person is broken.
I felt as if Dojin’s smiling eyes were saying, “Don’t worry because I’ve brought plenty of potions.”
‘There’s a mountain of things to do, but where are you going? hurt? don’t worry. Because there are a lot of painkillers. Sleepy? Don’t worry about that either. They have coffee and energy drinks too. If you still can’t stand it, I’ve prepared a lot of drugs. You can leave work after you die.’
As a result, Teresa and Sangsu were forced to take stimulants and had to digest 62 hours of hunting time over three days.
Out of 72 hours, I only took 10 hours off.
At the end of the flashback, the thoughts of the two were the same.
I want to run away.
Even so, the reason for waiting for Do-jin here is… … .
“Your level rises so well… You can’t even run away.”
Teresa finally opened her mouth.
“… that’s the problem 1.5 up for three days. Ten days if we did it by ourselves… No, it would have taken two weeks. But, apart from us, Soso, are you okay? How are you quiet?”
Sangsu asked Soso who appeared before he knew it as he turned his head.
“what?”
“No, that person. I’m grateful, but honestly, it’s tough. You weren’t too reluctant to play this game in the first place.”
What are you talking about?
Only then did Soso, who noticed what the conversation was about, replied as if it was nothing special.
“Am I okay? Even if a monster came running towards me, he took care of everything himself, so I just sat there and healed him afterwards. And honestly, it’s fun. Watching the two of you roll around.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two manual workers at the party looked at each other pitifully and sighed in self-condemnation.
“If it’s that hard, quit. It’s time for an appointment anyway. If he comes, ask for his understanding and part ways.”
Whoa. The two of them let out a deep sigh at the same time.
Among them, Teresa muttered like an old man who had tasted all the bitterness in the world.
“For that… It’s such a great experience.”
“I am alumni… … .”
Constant receiving Teresa’s words.
Soso looked at the two of them with pitiful eyes.
“hello.”
Then Dojin appeared with light steps.
It was a calm complexion, not showing signs of tiredness or fatigue.
“Let’s go at once.”
As if there was no need for long words, Do-jin already took the lead in walking.
Theresa followed, shuffling her hammer.
* * *
As soon as he entered the dungeon, Do-jin, whose eyes changed as if a switch had been turned on, led the party without hesitation.
Tight management that doesn’t allow any waste.
Out of breath, the two slave-dealers in charge of driving and mob disposal suffered heavy labor, running back and forth, breaking, crushing, and slicing to the point where they were really out of breath.
Teresa and Sangsu were confused as to whether they were hunting game or being sold as slaves in the quarry to work.
It was a situation where they couldn’t even expect to be able to rest.
It was because he had already received today’s ‘medicine’ as if he were being rationed before starting the hunt.
Teresa and Sang-soo thought when they saw the smile of the devil who gave them medicine while telling them to cheer up today.
‘This bastard is trying to save even the distribution time… … !’
1 hours… 2 hours… 4 hours… And more, more, more.
Like a miner drunk on drugs, he silently drove, broke, smashed, and sliced repeatedly.
experience goes up. item comes out. comes out a lot
But it’s hard. hard to die
A sweet smell emanated from my mouth, and my skin felt like a sandy beach after being sweaty and dry repeatedly.
Still, they moved on.
Looking at them, Dojin thought.
‘It holds up better than I thought.’
Dojin had nothing to do except curse when an unexpected situation occurred.
The healer only replenishes the consumed life force, and the rest of the time can be rested.
However, those two continued to be exposed to battle without a break.
Being able to sustain a forced march for such a long time under such circumstances was proof that the willpower of the player enduring it was considerable.
‘I tried to adjust it accordingly when I sat down saying I couldn’t stand it… I didn’t expect you to follow me this far.’
To be honest, it exceeded my expectations.

Level: 43

Attribute: ( 2 ) [Open]
While the two slaves were pounding the cursed golem, Dojin leisurely checked the status window.
In the past four days, the level has risen by 2, and about 1/4 of the experience gained from hunting today.
I used one day as a break, so it’s really fast considering that the growth was actually achieved in three days.
It is gradually entering a section where the required experience points are increasing savagely, but it is encouraging growth anyway.
It could be said that there was a very slight stake in this growth rate by two savvy dealers.
Originally, hunting with a strong sense of labor requires persistence and grit rather than skill, but those two had that.
After turning the curse once, even if you just yawn for a while, your experience points will rise on its own.
In the meantime, look at the status window, and turn each other’s magic interpretation of the truth.
Do-jin felt a languid and boring joy in the leisurely hunting.
In the meantime, Dojin looked for a while to see how accustomed the two had become to this place.
It seems that the swordsman has reached the point of finding an efficient route to run less and drive mobs.
Did you say Teresa? The warrior side seemed to have mastered a very efficient hammering.
How to say… Should I say it’s the feeling of twisting your body so that you can attack with minimal movement?
Rather than growing as a warrior, I don’t want to roll and roll on a construction site and get a bone disease, so I feel like a laborer who learned his own tricks… … . Anyway, it seems to have grown.
‘I can roll it from the inside with that much.’
After all, people learn quickly when they roll hard.
Thinking, Do-jin said to the two dealers who were gasping for hearts after dealing with the monsters they had just driven.
“Now we can move places.”
Theresa, who was leaning on the hammer, responded to those words.
“A place? Do you really need to move it?”
I think I’m going to die, so please sit here and rest. You have to walk to move!
She said that with her expression, but Dojin didn’t even look at her.
I was just saying what to say.
“I want to go inside the dungeon. The more you go into the dungeon than the entrance, the more mobs and more experience you get.”
In addition, if you are lucky, you can see elite monsters and even boss monsters.
Of course, it would be too greedy to see and catch boss monsters in an open dungeon like this… … .
While Dojin was thinking about this, Teresa tilted her head and said.
“uh… Is there anything wrong with going inside here? Right, is it Sangsu?”
When Teresa called her, Sang-soo, who had been sitting down, waved his hand as if he had no energy to speak.
As if you want them to know.
Theresa gave him one shot before continuing.
“Abandoned Iron Mine is the largest hunting ground in this room, which comes out as soon as you enter through the tunnel from the entrance. That’s why it’s called the big room. If you take the tunnel over there, there is a smaller vacant lot than here, which is called Jakbang. The size of the room and the number of mobs are smaller than here, so they say it doesn’t go well unless the large room is saturated.”
It’s a must-have for tips or information related to abandoned iron mines, but didn’t you know? At the question, Dojin’s expression became serious.
‘There are only two rooms?’
can it be
How wide is ＜Closed Iron Ore Mine＞?
‘There are dozens of open tunnels… ah.’
What would be the reason if there were only two empty lots along dozens of tunnels where there used to be many more empty lots tangled like a spider’s web?
There is nothing to ask, nothing to think about, nothing to worry about.
‘Originally, it was blocked.’
The new realization gave goosebumps along with Oh So-so and others.
“Where is the small room?”
“Me, that way and that way.”
Theresa is intimidated by Dojin’s changed eyes and answers.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Do-jin’s expression was so lively that So-so, who had been silently insulting her all day, reacted.
“I have to check first, but I have a little point. Wait.”
“Huh? Is it that way and that way? All other tunnels are blocked. There are no monsters… … !”
Teresa, embarrassed by Do-jin walking towards a completely erratic, dead-end tunnel, puts a hammer over her shoulder and runs after her.
When Teresa moved, Soso naturally got up and followed. Grabbing Sangsu’s hair to rest.
“Wait, wait! If you really go there, there’s nothing there?”
Do-jin said to Teresa who was frustrated.
“I have something to check.”
“What?”
“I’ll tell you when it’s clear.”
When we reached the point where the shaft was blocked, Soso said softly.
“He is right. It’s completely blocked. It’s not collapsed, it’s just a wall that hasn’t been dug?”
As Soso said, the wall was a completely blocked layer of rock, as if it had never been dug out.
However, Dojin’s eyes showed that this was not the case.
‘I blocked it with magic.’
The patterns of the surrounding rocks are finely tilted towards the front wall as if they were drawn in.
It means a wall made with a type of magic that transforms the terrain.
I couldn’t tell for sure, but it was clear that the wall was made by a high-ranking mage.
As such, the rock layer that forms the wall must be very thick and long.
It was a wall that could never be penetrated with the current Dojin magic.
‘I’ll have to be at least a 5-star wizard to melt it.’
Is it impossible then? can it be
Every deceased person has their own way.
After knocking on the wall, Dojin turned around and said.
“I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to hunt by yourself. I guess I need to rest a little more.”
I have something to prepare.
