Hyemin’sDad laughed awkwardly when he saw Minhyuk standing in a daze in front of Kongie.

“Ha, hahahaha. H, he looks good? Right?”

“Ah. Oh...... Mhhm.......”

Minhyuk had no idea on how he would respond with such a question so he chose to just hum at the end of his speech. Whether he agreed or not on the sentiment would remain unknown to everyone.

However, unlike Minhyuk and Hyemin’sDad, Hyemin was smiling broadly at Kongie.

“Kyaaaaak~! Baby poopy looks so cuuuuuuuuute!”

“Oink!”

[Kongie is feeling more confident.]

Then, Kongie approached the mirror that Hyemin brought out to look at himself.

“E, everything that Kongie wanted came out. Huh?”

“But, but Kongie can only wear two artifacts...... so what’s going on with that pot lid?”

“Ah. The effects won’t be exhibited due to the restrictions. But, I added a special effect that can let him wear it even with the restrictions. Once the artifact restriction gets lifted he will be able to wear more artifacts later on.”

Minhyuk nodded his head in understanding. Then, Hyemin’sDad handed Pandora's Helmet over to him. The subtle glow of light that was continuously emitting from Pandora’s Helmet had now disappeared. Right now, it looked like it was a tough and strong helmet. But it still looked vastly different from Oz’s Helmet that he had previously worn.

“Please check Kongie’s artifact too.”

“Yep.”

“......I, is that right?”

Genie gnawed at her lips in worry. Khan and Locke also couldn’t help but frown when they saw her being anxious.

“Why?”

When they looked at the bulletin, they couldn’t help but let out a laugh in disbelief.

“This is crazy. You need at least 800 reputation points just to become a viscount......?”

“OMG......!”

The three of them all frowned at the same time.

Genie’s reputation was only at 500 right now. Right?

“This is the Northern Continent you know. So we need that much to get a title and territory here.”

“Do any of our guild members have that many reputation points?”

“Aside from Genie, I don’t think there’s anyone else.”

They knew that Genie had the highest reputation among them. However, they saw Genie shaking her head.

“There is. He has a reputation that’s a little bit, no, much higher than mine.”

In the Dragon King’s Sea, there was an old man that was loading a fishing net and a fishing rod on a boat.

“Ayo! Old man Ben! Are you going out to sea again today?”

“Of course! I’ll definitely catch it today!”

Old man Ben grinned at him with all of his teeth out. He was an ordinary fisherman, however, he had been struggling on catching this one fish for several years now. It was the ‘Golden Salmon’.

The Golden Salmon! It was a fish that appears extremely rarely in the Dragon King’s Sea.

Ben had declared that he would only stop fishing once he had caught this fish. He had been chasing after the Golden Salmon for quite a long time now. It was considered to be one of the legendary games that could be caught by fishermen but it was a necessary game for him. Back in the days, one of his sons had died on sea. And the reason why his son died was because he was killed by the bait that was used to catch the Golden Salmon!

Just as he was about to set sail with his boat...

“Hello!”

A young man greeted him energetically. He could see that there was a fishing rod hanging on the young man’s back. He assumed that the young man was extremely hungry since he was nibbling on a grilled buttered corn.

‘Hooo. A foreigner?’

A foreigner!

The sea had become a lot more peaceful and calm due to God’s blessings and just recently, there were many foreigners who had come to Valkyrie Kingdom so it was not that strange to see a foreigner around the area.

“Yes. Why are you going out to sea?”

Ben turned to answer his greeting as well as ask him a question.

“The fishes that we’re catching here are all lame and uninteresting so I’m going out there to catch the best fish!”

“Ooooooh?!!! The best? What kind of fish is it?!”

“Forget about those faded flatfish and rockfish, there are diamonds out there that aren’t usually caught!”

“Woooooow......!”

The young man’s eyes widened in shock as if he couldn’t believe about what he had just heard. Then, he leaned over and asked him excitedly...

“By any chance, can I go with you?”

“Uhm...... You, boy?”

Ben looked at him up and down. His appearance looked too shabby for someone to go fishing. He was wearing a rapier on his back as well as a helmet on his head.

As if realizing that it was rude to greet someone without showing his face, the man quickly took off his helmet. What greeted Ben was a handsome smiling face.

“Hehe. I also want to go with you!”

The young man took off his helmet as a sign of courtesy and respect for me!

“Boy, what is your job class?”

“I’m a chef. Ah, I’ll make you delicious food with whatever we caught on the way!”

“A, a chef.”

Ben rubbed his chin in thought. It was true that there would be plenty of fish that would be caught on their way and it would be amazing if he could eat them more deliciously than usual!

“Okay, get on!”

“Thank you very much!”

The young man quickly boarded the boat as it quietly started to depart from the port.

Lee Minhwa’s eyes were trembling wildly like a leaf shaking in a storm.

“T, Team Leader!!!”

Team Leader Park hurried over when he heard her voice that sounded much more urgent and hurried than normal.

“What’s the problem?”

Team Leader Park frowned as he followed her finger that was pointing shakily at the monitor.

“Ben? He’s going together with Ben now?”

The reason why both Lee Minhwa and Team Leader Park were so shocked was because of the owner of the boat that Minhyuk was riding on.

“Of all the boats that he could have boarded, how did he board the boat of one of the Most Powerful Men?”

Footnotes

[Attribute Artifact] - Artifacts that have a specific attribute (e.g. fire, water, earth, wind). In this case, it is attributed to Kongie. Which meant that it is only for Kongie. Back

[Rapier] - a light, thin and sharp pointed sword. It is used mainly for trusting. Imagine the sword used for fencing. Something like that. Mainly used for stabbing as you need a lot of power to be able to slash with it. Back

[Baron] - a title of honour or a rank of nobility. It is the lowest title just below that of a viscount. The female counterpart is baroness. Barons are men who pledged their loyalty and service to his superior in return for a land and territory that he could pass on to his heirs. They are usually addressed as Lord or Lady. Back

[Baronet] - baronet is not considered as part of the peerage or the rank of nobility. However, this title can also be inherited. It is said to be belonging to the lesser nobility. It is below that of a baron but higher than a knight. It’s female counterpart is a baronetess. They are usually addressed as Sir or Dame. Baronetcy was awarded as a way for the royal family to accumulate funds. Basically, they are those merchants or rich individuals who wanted to have a title. Back

As a side, this is the ranking of classes in medieval Europe

Commoner < Knight < Baronet < Baron < Viscount < Count < Marquis < Duke < Archduke < Royal Highness

TL’s note!

Minhyuk, who had just become handsome in the eyes of the employees of Athenae, has now once more regained his honor and became the number 1 troublemaker again. LOL.

PR’s note!

Poor devs. They just can’t catch a break with Minhyuk, can they?
