Chapter 13

[One Cut Man was great!]

Posts with similar titles have been posted on various sites.

The captions were different.

However, it contained only one thing.

[Legendary skill holder Kang Jin-woo vs. the Giant Snake of Level 300!]

Giant snake.

It is a monster classified as under the giant species.

It starts at the lowest 250 level and goes up to the 350 level.

It is a monster that can be hunted down only after long-term attacks of a small number of elite or giant species-guilds.

It does not make sense that it has been defeated by a player of level 60.

It has become an issue not only in Korea but also abroad.

[Destruction of legendary skill balance!]

[What is the efficacy of legendary skills?]

On the front page of all articles, pictures of Kang Jin-woo are posted.

His presence, which had disappeared, was once again imprinted on people’s minds.

* * *

People’s attention was focused again on Kang Jin-woo.

Media attention soon followed.

5 a.m.

“Well…”

It is usually time to stay home.

But today, Jinwoo was sitting in a car.

Han Yu-ra sat next to him, yawning.

“The first interview will be conducted with more players.”

More players.

It is a global player magazine.

It was loved by many for its high-quality articles and accurate content.

One would be able to measure a player’s popularity if he was interviewed alone or with a group.

He was going alone after the first group was interviewed.

“But what are we doing here at dawn?”

“The interview time is 10 a.m.”

“Eh? Then why are we here this early?”

“You would have your picture taken, so naturally, I have to do make-up and fix your hair. Did you think I would allow you to get interviewed looking like this?”

Han Yu-ra stared at Jinwoo.

[Ya-! That girl is good. She’s communicating her intentions with her eyes. Say: ‘Why do you need to do make-up!’]

“Khmm…”

Kang Ji-woo did not agree with the words of the sword.

In this case, it was best just to cough and avoid gaze.

“Once I finish my make-up and hair settings, change your clothes immediately.”

“Oh, no, but it’s really…”

Ah… He ran out of words.

[I think you’ll mess up if you say one more word.]

‘No, where did you learn so much about talking to women?’

[Of course, the sea of ​​information, isn’t it the Internet?]

‘Egg…’

It was a sword that had already been colored by modern civilization.

* * *

[Wow…]

“Wow…”

The sword and Jinwoo burst into excitement at the same time.

[Is this really you?]

“Is this really me?”

Man standing in the mirror.

Everything has changed.

Other than being a little tall, there was nothing else special about his appearance. He looked ordinary.

His skin was also not clean.

But now there was no blemish.

The eyebrows became darker, and the skin was like porcelain.

The rugged hair that had been roughly beaten with wax was changed to a clean pomade style.

The same is true of the outfit that he wore.

Casual attire turned into a professional-looking suit.

“Now, it’s okay.”

As she looked at him, Yu-ra smiled, satisfied.

“Shall we go now?”

“Yeah.”

[Hey! In the future, I think the best way is simply to do what she wants.]

‘I feel the same way.’

He never thought he could look like this.

* * *

An interview was held at a cafe in Gangnam.

The interview took place over 30 minutes, but he didn’t get bored throughout.

“People call you One Cut Man, what do you think?”

“I think I made good use of my characteristics. At first, I wanted something else, but now I like it.”

All famous players have nicknames.

The representative guild master, Park Tae-Sung, was nicknamed the Dragon Wizard.

“I see. I’ll move on to the next question. Some say that Kang Jin-woo is passive in attacking the dungeon. Do you have anything to say about this?”

He is a famous player.

One of the reasons why the line of questioning is direct to the point and full of pressure.

The magazine does not merely feature the player; it also asks questions about what the public really wants to know.

That’s when he felt a little uncomfortable.

“I plan to restart the dungeon attack. In the meantime, there was a special preparation so that I couldn’t start immediately, but I plan to start moving in earnest from the next month at the latest.”

“Oh, really?”

This is the first time Jin-woo, who usually disappears from the public eye, has revealed his future activities.

The reporter glowed and entered the contents into the notebook.

From then on, the interview was conducted with various contents.

Most of the questions were within the scope of the pre-interviews prepared by Han Yu-ra, so answering them was not difficult.

“Thanks for the interview today. I apologize in advance if there is anything I have made you uncomfortable with.”

“No. I also enjoyed it.”

The last question was answered, and the interview ended.

“Oh, did you hear that there will be an attack on the Dragon’s Nest dungeon by the Noblesse Guild in England?”

“Is it, really?”

Han Yu-ra, who was quiet throughout the interview, asked.

“Yes, we had an exclusive interview with Noblesse Guild in the UK office. The attack is scheduled for tomorrow. I’m telling you this in return for your interview with us.”

“Thank you for the information.”

“Then see you again next time.”

After shaking hands, they left the cafe.

Back in the car, Jin-woo asked Han Yu-ra.

“If it’s a dragon’s nest, what are we talking about here? A level 400 dungeon?”

“Yes, that is correct. I think it’s true from the British side.”

“Ya-! If successful, isn’t it the first time? A dungeon at level 400.”

Currently, the highest-level active dungeon is level 375.

In other words, it was previously believed that a level 400 dungeon does not exist.

So it was like a dream to attack the dungeon at level 400.

Most dungeons above level 300 had long expiration dates.

Dragon’s Nest has a known expiration date of about five years.

This means that you have five years to strategize and plan your attack, and you don’t have to rush in immediately.

“But would they suddenly attack the Dragon’s Nest?”

“It must be because of you.”

“Me?”

“Yes, you know there are several places where legendary skills and items are expected to come out?”

“Ah…!”

Active research continues to be conducted on legendary skills.

One of the hypothesis that came out was that a Legendary-grade skill or item was more likely to come out of a dungeon of level 400 or higher.

The hero skill, on the other hand, could be found on level 300 dungeons.

Giant guilds continuously attacked level 300 dungeons, hoping to get hero skills and items by chance.

As the power of the hero skill became more well-known, the search for it became more active.

“In the meantime, the expectation that legendary skills will emerge from dungeons of level 400 or higher is the accepted truth. But for the giant guilds, there was no merit to risk it.”

The reason is that the efficacy was unknown.

Academia suggested two possibilities.

One was the hypothesis that it would have a performance that completely outperformed the hero rating.

On the other hand, the other was completely opposed.

It would be better than the hero rating, but it wasn’t going to make a big difference.

“But the effectiveness of the legendary skill has been demonstrated. So, from the standpoint of the giant guilds, opinions were consolidating toward the advantage of getting legendary skills at hand as soon as possible.”

Jin-woo nodded at Han Yu-ra’s explanation.

“The Giant Snake Hunt was a big hit there. In the meantime, since you only attacked low-level dungeons, we couldn’t guess how effective the legendary skill was. However, with the Giant Snake incident, the giant guilds saw the merits of legendary skills.”

“Haha….”

This is a different story.

Dokgogu swordsmanship is definitely a great skill.

However, this time, the biggest thing that led to defeating the Giant Snake is the achievement in catching the Giant Snake is the Moon Moon method.

‘I couldn’t have done it with just Dokgogu.”

[Stupid bastard.]

‘Yes?’

[The guy who licked only the exterior of the Dokgogu is saying that he knows everything.]

‘What do you mean…’

“Oh, I arrived. I’m getting off now.” Han Yu-ra said, interrupting Jin-woo’s conversation with the sword.

* * *

One week.

He really wandered around.

“Uh… … I can’t do this again.”

Interviews and commercials.

Even though only they only answered the most important calls and requests, the time of one week passed.

However, there was no particular schedule today.

It was thanks to Han Yu-ra’s consideration.

[Kuh-hee!]

He heard a strange laugh came out.

As he looked, he saw a sword sitting at a desk and staring into a smartphone.

The focus on the smartphone was like a four-year-old child seeing a smartphone for the first time and falling in love.

“It’s amazing.”

[What?]

“Those who do not have a body can do all the touch and drag.”

[In the main seat, the mind transcended the body. Most things you can do with your body can be done.]

It was true.

The swordsman was able to wield a sword or throw an object in that form.

“By the way, the thing you said before about the sword…”

[What is it?]

“You said I just licked the outside. What does that mean?”

[The Dokgogu you know now is just the basic level.]

“So, what does that mean?”

[Really! Why does my regular phone keep disturbing me when I use my smartphone?]

“That’s because I’m curious.”

[Moon Moon doesn’t end with learning about it. It is a law that must be learned by repeating the training. A guy who didn’t even practice properly knows all of the Dokgogu swords? Isn’t that funny?]

“Well…”

[Simply think of it this way: the steps you took when learning the Moon Moon Method, the same goes for the Dokgogu sword.]

After meeting the sword, a lot of what he took for granted as truth was broken.

Jin-woo thought about the possibilities.

Ji-ing!

Then the smartphone rang.

It was Han Yu-ra.

“Yes, Yu-ra?”

[The three people you told me last time, I found them.]

Jin-woo’s face hardened.

“Yes?”

[By the way, these people are of poor quality, why are you trying to meet them?]

“I have a debt. I will pay them back.”
