TGMND 48

After scouring the map thoroughly for about an hour with the four of them, they finally satisfied the last remaining condition of the quest. Now, all that remained was to talk to the NPC at the entrance of the research lab to receive the quest reward and the 4th job advancement quest would be completed.

[Party] neutaaaa:ㅠㅠ I’ll advance now! Thank you for helping me today.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Ha, finally haha ​​my wrist was about to go out.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Congrats on advancing, come out!

‘Halloween Eggplant has left the party.’

‘Wandu Wandya has left the party.’

Two guild members withdrew from the party, and Yeo-woon started running to the entrance of the lab alone. Meanwhile, Earth Star had not yet left the party and was filing a complaint and singing in his ears. Yeo-woon felt like his ears were rotting from the ridiculous pitch and lyrics.

‘The quest completed!’

Yeo-woon used the capsule given as a quest reward to teleport to the Shrine of Advancement. The main character who was leading the main scenario appeared before his eyes in hologram form, with a background effect that looked like fluttering starlight.

‘Welcome, adventure…’

Enough of that!

Yeo-woon was so excited that he skipped the main story by hitting the space bar. Partly because he wasn’t particularly interested in the advancement story either. Then, the last job advancement selection window popped up prominently on the game screen.

‘Do you want to advance to Hero?’

▷1.Change jobs

▷2.Not done yet

What kind of question is this? Why else would he be here? Yeo-woon pressed the number 1 firmly, and with a beam of light shooting up into the sky, the job icon next to his nickname changed.

‘Lv.206 neutaaaa’

‘Congratulations! You have advanced to Hero!’

‘The skills have been reset. Please press ‘K’ to check your skills.’

‘A defensive passive skill has been created.’

“Oh right. Weapons…”

Yeo-woon was once again bare-handed because his previous job no longer allowed him to utilize his weapons after he changed job. It was the same scenario as when he switched jobs to Shadow Warrior. Another issue was that no hero weapons were discovered despite hunting for several days.

– Why. Don’t you have any weapons?

“I’m just going to put it together and make it.”

– You’re quite audacious. You’re not even at the level to craft weapons. Why don’t you just buy one?

Level?

In response to Earth Star’s ridicule, Yeo-woon clicked on the menu and entered the ‘Crafting’ section. He had experience reaching max level as a chef in the previous game, where he crafted various items and even got a job at the largest restaurant in the server. People recognized him just by his nickname, saying, ‘Oh, that chef?’

When he first joined Illusion, Yeo-woon preferred crafting equipment or accessories from low-grade fragments to sell at the auction house rather than hunting. Although he had been neglecting crafting lately…

“My crafting level is 30. Does it need to be higher than this?”

– …Huh?

“Maximum level reached. You can’t level up anymore!”

No matter how many times he pressed the ‘+’ button next to the crafting level, he kept getting the same message.

“It says it’s the maximum level.”

– …?

Earth Star was silent for a moment, as if at a loss for words. It seemed like he had never imagined that Yeo-woon would have reached level 30 in crafting.

– What are you doing to raise the crafting level to 30?

“I just messed around a bit in the beginning…”

Yeo-woon scanned through the materials needed for weapons in the Hero icon section of the weapon crafting menu, which were suitable for level 200. Boss monster items like ‘Black Tiger Core’ or ‘Dragon King’s Jewel’ were being sold cheaply in the auction house, so it seemed like a good idea to buy them. Other materials were also available from sellers in the party matching window.

– Hold on. In that case, I have some premium fragments saved up, so I can give those.

[Guild] Ji9star: Does anyone have any premium fragments left?

‘Premium fragments’ were materials necessary for crafting or enhancing weapons and equipment. Disassembling equipment obtained from hunting yielded fragments, which could then be combined with other materials to craft equipment or add options to existing equipment.

In fact, since Illusion wasn’t primarily a reinforcement game, there weren’t many people who dabbled in crafting. Yeo-woon only realized this belatedly when he couldn’t find anyone to teach him, but by then, he had already reached level 30 in crafting.

[Guild] al0ha: I’ll sell a premium set for 500 haha.

[Guild] ParkRoach: I have, 300 for one set

[Guild] al0ha: ? 250

[Guild] ParkRoach: 200 haha

[Guild] aloha: Let’s calm down, okay? 150

[Guild] ParkRoach: Then if you buy two sets for 150 each, I’ll give you one more set hahaha.

[Guild] al0ha: Haha ParkRoach, where are you?^^

[Guild] ParkRoach: What will you do if I tell youㅠㅠ A bad person who plays a healer/support role

“It seems like they’re fighting right now…”

– It sounds fun!

“…?”

What is he saying now. Shouldn’t it be stopped? Yeo-woon stared at the chat window with concern that a serious situation might unfold. Then, CatMeowMeowMeow chimed in.

[Guild] CatMeowMeowMeow: Al0ha!! ParkRoach is in the guild zone right now! He’s in front of me.

[Al0ha]: If you can hold him until I arrive, I’ll pay you 100 million.

[Guild] CatMeowMeowMeow: Deal haha

[Guild] ParkRoach: I hope they nerfed Valkyrie skills;

[Guild] ParkRoach: 200 million if you let me go

[Guild] al0ha: Definitely doubling it.

[Guild] CatMeowMeowMeow: 400 million? Definitely

[Guild] ParkRoach: I’ll give you 800 million ㅠㅠ

[Guild] CatMeowMeowMeow: I heard ParkRoach’s total assets are only 500 million now haha.

[Guild] ParkRoach: Sh1t haha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahaha

Earth Star’s question led to a dog fight between two people. ParkRoach was probably beaten to death by Al0ha in the end, as he expressed his annoyance in the guild chat, asking CatMeowMeowMeow to come out. Meanwhile, CatMeowMeowMeow seemed to have swiftly taken the money and fled to the hot spring.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: But why the premium fragments? I’ve collected 20 sets in my warehouse to raise an alt character later.

[Guild] Ji9star: Oh

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: But I won’t give them to you, Earth Star^^;

[Guild] Ji9star: Haha, I’m not saying it for me, but Neuta said he’d make weapons.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: ?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ll buy ten sets of premium fragments!

Silence came to the guild chat window. After a while, Captain Poseidon seemed to have discovered in the guild management window that Yeo-woon’s job had changed.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Neuta, when did you change to a Hero…?

Not long after, congratulations messages from fellow guild members began to flood the server’s micro-guild chat.

[Server] Captain Poseidon: [neutaaaa] Congratulations on your job change! Haha

[Server] Wandu Wandya: ♥♥Congratulations on becoming the strongest hero [neutaaaa]!! Let’s change outfits now!♥♥

[Server] ParkRoach: [neutaaaa] <<<< #WorldRanking0 #Hero #HiddenStrength

[Server] al0ha: Neuta, now don’t get too immersed in real life and focus more on your gaming life~^^; Just live alone in this life.

[Server] Ji9star: Guys, you worked hard for 3 years and we’ll see you later with a smile!

[Server] Halloween Eggplant: I helped you with everything… I hope you become a magpie who repays the favor…

[Server] CatMeowMeowMeow: [neutaaaa] Hero is so cool!!! But when I changed jobs, everyone told me to quit because I was a trash, but it was too much ㅡㅡ

[Server] Halloween Eggplant: Be gone Valkyrie

[Server] CatMeowMeowMeow: Stop whispering in my ears, you bastards.

[Server] CatMeowMeowMeow: I’m not quitting^^

[Guild] ParkRoach: Where are you?^^ You said you were at the hot spring, but you’re not here;?

[Guild] CatMeowMeowMeow: I just left haha

[Guild] ParkRoach: Sh*t. I won’t let you go once I caught you;

[Guild] CatMeowMeowMeow: Okay~
