“Uh!”
A man in his early forties with a robust physique, thick beard, and unsuitable thick horn-rimmed glasses.
“Are you all right?”
The man began an effort to open his eyes little by little to the worried sound of his own.
“Uh…”
However, it was not easy to open my eyes, as only the sound of pain deepened.
Is that why?
“It’s dangerous here. Get a hold of yourself. Quick! Quick!”
The tone of his worried voice, which he repeatedly exhorted toward the man, began to rise.
“If you don’t get up quickly, you’re just gonna……may be.”
It’s as if you don’t get up or I’ll kill you, it sounds like the same threat.
In-house, NPC Yoshi opened his eyes.
“Da, you?”
As soon as he opened his eyes, he first asked the identity of the person who saved him.
“I’m Midas.”
The opponent introduced himself immediately.
“It’s a cursed forest full of zombies, and I’m an adventurer from the city of Wigan.”
with great kindness
“I found you here, and you’re in a state of emergency. If you have something left behind or if you have a favor to ask me, I will be happy to do it. So what can I do for you?”
It was so kind that I didn’t have to ask any further questions.
Were you moved by the kindness?
NPC Yoshie gave a blank look for a moment and soon nodded.
“Thank you for your help. My name is Yoshi.”
Then he explained his situation.
“I came here to investigate the cursed forest, but suddenly I was attacked by zombies and lost everything I had.”
He explained his current pitiful situation.
However, the reaction of the listener was grave.
“Lucky, anything else?”
King!
“No?”
King!
No, you’re talking beyond the grave, and you’re doing something else in front of it.
NPC Yoshi explained his situation regardless of the fact.
“……so I have a favor to ask.”
And now I asked for a favor.
“I appreciate your help, but you’re the only one I can ask for now that I’ve lost all my data for research. Will you save 100 cursed traces of zombies?”
A request that is literally shameless.
But the man smiled and said,
“Of course I’ll help.”
King!

[Yoshi’s Request (Hidden)]
– Quest Rank: Unique
– Quest level: Below 39
– Quest content: Let’s get 100 cursed traces for the study of Yoshie, a researcher who studies the cursed forest. Cursed marks can be obtained with high probability when hunting zombies.
– Quest Rewards: Skill Card Book (Unique)
Midas smiled at the quest.
“This is pheasant and egg food.”
In a situation where we have to catch 1,000 zombies anyway, the quest that came out of the situation was a win-win, as he said.
“Lucky, good job.”
King!
Midas lavished praise on Lucky.
“No, from now on, I’ll take you to Lucky. Lucky, you did a great job!”
King!
Now, it’s not praise but flattery.
‘You’re a real lucky man.’
But this income was so enormous that it wasn’t strange.
As I said earlier, most of the skill cards on the market were hidden quest rewards through randomly appearing NPCs.
In other words, the skill cards obtained through this quest were tradeable items.
In addition, the basic price of a skill card itself was incomparable to a weapon or a defense tool.
If you get a tier, you get 10,000 gold……about ten million won.’
Depending on the type, it was not worth more than 10,000 gold and about 10 million won in Korean won.
Gulp!
It was a matter for saliva to swallow.
I think it’s the first time you’ve touched more than 10 million won at once since you got the down payment.’
It was also his first time receiving more than 10 million won at once when he signed with a professional baseball club and received 30 million won as a down payment.
It’s such a distant memory now.
In other words, Midas had no intention of enjoying this opportunity.
‘That’s really dope. You touch this kind of money.’
To be honest, there was some living expenses right now, but it was only living expenses to the cost of living.
The reality is that a certain amount of money is needed to play the game more stably.
Of course, it’s not too late to worry about it after getting compensation right away.
“Lucky, I’ll hunt again now.”
King!
Midas, he started hunting again.
3.
a damned forest.
“Damn it, run!”
“You zombie bastards to eat! Why don’t you just grab it?”
The sound of players’ evil resonated throughout the forest, which was hard to see due to the black fog.
“Catch shit! Just! Run! Avoiding comes first!”
“But you’ve been running away, haven’t you?”
“It’s better to run away than die and blow 80 hours!”
Those who were suddenly besieged by zombies were the sounds that turned desperately for survival, not hunting.
But not all players were busy running away.
Everywhere in the world, there are people who do what I can’t do.
There were parties among the overflowing monsters that ended hunting very quickly.
“Okay, I got you!”
“Another one ahead!”
“Then I’ll catch one more!”
There was no special secret.
“It’s also worth a lot of course. The zombies are melting, they’re melting.”
“You see why I bought the skill?”
There was only one more sure secret than good skills and good items.
“As expected of Louis! You have a very different level of hunting skills!”
“Of course! He’s over 150! You’re at a different level from us!”
Career
Sometimes it was the secret to surpass items and skills.
Midas had it all now.
‘Zombies get together in pursuit of players, and the areas where they get together become relatively small in number. Because the number of monsters that can appear at once is controlled. Therefore, the area where zombies are clustered is perfect for catching one by one.’
Midas also had experience in attacking the cursed forest.
No, it wasn’t just there.
Still, it was Midas who heard the sound of coriander in the early days of Godworth.
His efforts at the beginning of Godworth were beyond description.
In addition, Zombie Oak and Zombie Goblin’s target recognition range is 35.4 meters, and if they attack outside that distance, they can attract……I’ve done a lot of really crazy things to get this one.’
At that time, I had to get my own information about monsters because of the fierce competition.
‘Those talented people didn’t have to do this.’
On the other hand, Midas himself felt his limitations.
He felt that he could not keep up with those who had natural abilities even though he had analyzed and tried so hard.
Of course now I could fight like them.
‘The speed at which zombies travel is no big deal anyway. You don’t have to try to get it right quickly. step by step The most important thing is to hit it accurately. The key is not to speed up the deal, but to reduce the transaction load.’
Nevertheless Midas never overstepped himself.
Without raising the pace, he attacked and achieved what he wanted in a situation where safety was assured.
He knew better than anyone that just not falling into a crisis was a profitable business than spending time breaking the crisis.
‘Don’t bet on a fight if you’re not sure, that was coach Jin Yong’s teaching.’
It wasn’t just hearing through the ears and understanding by the head two days.
From a very long time ago, I learned from the teachings of many people.
That was the reason.
We’ve hunted zombie orcs.
[Levels up.]
Midas, the reason why he is rapidly reducing the population of zombies, showing unusual hunting speed.
‘Okay, we got 200 now.’
It was the moment Midas finally reached 200 highlands and the Ibu Neung Line.
‘Meet the primary target for now.
Here Midas wanted to take a comma.
“Good work, Lucky.”
King!
“Now I’m going to take a little rest.”
I’m going to log out for a long game and have some time to ventilate.
Crying…….
Lucky sounded as if he should not go at the sight of the owner.
Midas stroked Lucky’s chin and said,
“I’m going to go out and have some rice, some caffeine, and some sugar. It won’t take long.”
Even with that remark, Lucky bowed his head instead of giving a significant answer.
Deep enough to touch the ground.
Midas smiled lightly at the figure.
“Lucky, I’m sorry. I’ll be right back.”
Then Lucky answered Midas as if not to go.
King Wang!
Master, there’s a smell of people!>
“……I’m sorry, Lucky. I forgot to speak formally for a moment.”
It was a perfect catch for Midas.
4.
“Come to the above city. Then I’ll make amends.”
With the horse, the archer in leather armor quickly disappeared through the black mist.
Midas, who was looking at the traces of the NPC that had disappeared, soon turned his head.
[Jack’s request]
– Quest Rank: Rare
– Quest level: Level 35 or below
– Quest content: Jack, a soldier in the city of Wiga, asked you to hunt 100 zombies. Let’s hunt 100 zombies and find Jack.
– Quest Rewards: Skill Card Book (Rare)
Then a new quest greeted him.
“That’s ridiculous.”
Without realizing it, Midas’s words popped out of his mouth.
Does it make sense to get these two quests?’
It’s certainly a wonder but a pleasure to pick up money on the street.
If you’re a Midas-like person, you’ll be so happy that you’ll quickly put the money in your pocket and get out of there quickly before someone calls you.
But what if you pick up the money twice?
No matter how much the cursed forest is abandoned, it’s not like there are no players.…’
From then on, you can’t help but doubt.
Maybe someone spilled the money?
That kind of doubt.
I don’t think the guilds are playing.’
Furthermore, there was an explorer line in the cursed forest, and the guilds of explorers who managed the line were present.
And one of the other roles of such explorer guilds was the hunt for boss monsters, the discovery of hidden dungeons and the discovery of hidden quests.
Wouldn’t a guild, an explorer born to make money in the first place, leave such a profitable item like Altoran?
‘Then I could hardly see the explorers guilds. It was like a rescue request service.’
The doubts that began like that changed Midas’s eyes.
‘I’m sure. There must be a gap in the guild’s staff, the explorer who manages the cursed forest.’
Of course, it wasn’t something that changed or anything.
It’s time for doggy.’
If there’s really a manpower vacuum in the guild of explorers here right now, it’s an opportunity for Midas.
“Lucky.”
King!
“Let’s play some more games.”
And there’s no reason to give up this opportunity to play for an hour or so.
King!
At such Midas’ words Lucky screamed with all his might, and Midas smiled and grabbed the cane again.
“Yes, Lucky, let’s go!”
5.
A shelter located in a fishy forest.
What they usually do when players gather was to talk about trivial things.
“Have you seen the Solo Kill video?”
“What? Oak killer?”
“Yes.”
“Temper, nexus, skill, 3x.”
Tales that are so trivial.
“But you got it right, didn’t you? It’s not easy to get it that way at that distance.”
“That’s all we need to do. What’s the odds of making a mistake with such an item? We can get it right again. I was lucky. Come to think of it, I have to add luck.”
“That’s enough. Who the hell is he?”
“I heard you’re a BJ big madosa.”
“No, not the name. The real identity. You’re not a normal guy, are you, like, like, Shinsoo and Damiji Dilling?”
“There is a saying that he is the son of the chairman of a Korean conglomerate.”
“I heard it’s the post-Asmo that Azmo raises.”
“So what’s the live broadcast address? I’ve searched BJ archangel several times, but he didn’t come out.”
“I heard it’s a secret broadcast that only VIPs can watch. That’s why the prize is amazing. They’re just going to give you a pair of Mercedes-Benz as a prize.
“Wow, how great a rich man is he?”
From some point on, it was a trivial story that he threw without any bottom or endlessly.
Of course, the little talk didn’t last long.
“Suddenly there seems to be a lot of explorers guild kids, what’s the matter? I saw you outside the explorer line.”
“You’re not expanding the line, are you? Most people do, don’t they? If you do a temporary gathering of the explorers’ guild fighters near the city of Wiga.”
Naturally their subject spread to a different story.
“This is a rumor, but I hear the explorer guild is looking for something.”
“What?”
“What quest are you looking for?”
Of course, it was also a trivial story that would not last long.
“It’s a rumor.”
“Actually, it’s a rumour I’ve made up now.”
