Level Up
Chapter 3 Part 3
[Previous] [Table of Contents] [Next]
If you thought about it logically, whenever you cleared a dungeon four times, you should be able to obtain at least one magical stone. At least that was what everyone thought.
Considering that it was a Bronze 1 level dungeon, the magical stones would at least have 500 power points in it.
A stone that held 500 power points was worth about $10,000.
If it held more than 500, its worth would double up.
In the Bronze levels, the most common magical stone found was one of 500 points.
But when Chang Soo saw the size of the magical stone that Hyunsuk had extracted, he already knew that it was way bigger in size.
‘At least 1000 points. And the one from the Vine Ghost has to be 2000 points.’
A magical stone worth 1000 points was the biggest one you could find in the Silver level dungeons and a magical stone worth 2000 points was usually found in the Gold level dungeons.
That was just speaking by the possibility standards. In reality, even in Silver level dungeons, it was hard to find a stone that had more than 500 power points.
Well, it would be easier to find a magical stone in the Silver level so you were able to make a lot of money.
If you put all the parts of the equation together, it made no sense that there was that much luck in the hunt that took place four days ago.
‘That’s all pure luck and coincidence? Bullshit.’
Once or twice, Chang Soo would be able to think that it really was a coincidence, but it happened so many times that it was hard to pinpoint it as just luck and coincidence.
But Chang Soo had no proof. That was why he had to hold his tongue.
“Let’s get out of here.”
At Hyunsuk’s words, Chang Soo nodded and followed after him.There was no way that Hyunsuk was planning to end his hunt here, so Chang Soo knew that there would be another chance for him to learn how to extract the magical stones.
‘And it’s not like today’s the only day to learn.’
If he thought about the events that played out four days ago, he was anxious. But he held it down inside. He knew if he was patient and just did as he was told, everything would be revealed to him eventually.
Hyunsuk found the core very easily. It was almost as if Hyunsuk already knew the location of the core because within seconds of searching for it, he was standing in front of it.
He placed his hand on top of the core.
CRACK!
The core broke into pieces.
When Chang Soo and his group witnessed this, their eyes became the size of a saucer.
They didn’t think that Hyunsuk would be able to break the core this quickly.
But that wasn’t the end of their surprise.
When the dungeon collapsed and they had returned to the normal world, there was a shield floating in the air before their eyes.
“Another artifact?!”
Hyunsuk scanned through the surprised faces and grabbed the artifact.
CLANG!
The magic and power from the artifact surrounded the air and flowed around them.
Chang Soo was so baffled by this that he was left speechless and his mind was scattered all over the place.
The Dungeon Headquarters was available internationally. All the informations of the players were synced together within the different headquarters. Otherwise, it would not be possible to run such a big organization like the Dungeons.
Also, it wasn’t like the complete details of the players were shared. Only the names of the players were shared and they all acted individually according to their own rules.
Korea’s Dungeon Headquarters president was a player named Kwang Yul Choo. He was a monster who had obtained the player level of 98.
Kwang Yul had the second highest level after Ryan, who coordinated the America’s dungeons.
Of course, just because you were high in level didn’t mean you were strong in power. But it was also a given that if your level was high there was a very good chance that you were strong as well.
Also, it was very hard for a player to be able to increase in level when he was already at a high level. But when he was able to jump up a level, the amount of power increase was very big.
Therefore, saying that Kwang Yul Choo was the second strongest man on the planet, wasn’t necessarily a wrong way of describing him.
There was also a different level for artifacts, but because Kwang Yul had an extremely strong artifact in his possession, there was no reason for him to feel like he was being looked down upon.
Kwang Yul’s cousin, Kyung Hoon Choo, was the vice president that looked over the Gyeongi-do area of the Korean dungeons.
Kyung Hoon had risen to his spot with the support of his cousin, Kwang Yul. But, Kyung Hoon didn’t like the fact that he had to borrow his cousin’s support in order to rise to the spot that he was in.
It wasn’t just enough for him to hunt and increase his level. Honestly, Kyung Hoon didn’t even have the skills to be able to hunt.
He was a level 57 player.
Level 57 was an extremely high level. But when he was with other vice presidents of different area, he couldn’t help but feel small in front of them.
Normally, in Korea, in order to become a vice president, you had to be at least a level 70 player.
That Kyung Hoon was looking with a curious expression.
He was different from other vice presidents. Kyung Hoon took a special interest in players that used their obtained articles and made something with it.
He thought there would be a way for him to advance by doing this.
“Well, wouldn’t you say that there is a special method that he’s using?”
At Kyung Hoon’s question, the secretary that was standing besides him silently answered, “It isn’t certain. But it definitely gives us enough reason for us to investigate the situation.”
Kyung Hoon nodded his head agreeing with the secretary. He was thinking the exact same thing.
“Hyunsuk Chae… He’s roaming around the dungeons and clearing them like crazy… It’s barely been two months since he’s become a player… Cleared a dungeon over 100 times… Very impressive.”
Kyung Hoon continued to nod and his head and then suddenly, looked at his secretary with a confused look on his face.
“His level isn’t written on here. Is there some sort of mistake?”
The secretary looked at Kyung Hoon with an uneasy face.
“The thing is… Hyunsuk hasn’t gone to measure his level yet…”
“What? He hasn’t gone to measure his level yet? Why?”
Kyung Hoon asked the question with a face clearly stating that he was unable to
understand the situation. He knew that when players felt the slightest increase in their skills and power that they went and claimed their level and had it measured.
But the fact that Hyunsuk had cleared a level over 100 times and hadn’t gone once to get his level measured and claim it, when he didn’t have a specific reason behind his choice, was very weird and not understandable.
“I’m not sure… I asked the employees that work the entrance and they said that they haven’t noticed anything strange about him, nor did they show any reaction regarding Hyunsuk Chae…”
“Is that right? How weird… Anyways, it seems like we need to approach him. Who would be adequate enough to do so?”
“Well since it’s a young man that’s capable of doing many things…”
At the secretary’s words, Kyung Hoon started thinking. He pulled up a mental image of
the women players of the dungeons and thought of someone that he could use.
“What about Ji Hae Ryu?”
“She’s a fantastic choice. But I’m not entirely too sure that she would accept the
challenge.”
“Well, she’ll have to accept it because I have something that she wants.”
The secretary’s face lit up.
“Then I will contact her immediately. But…”
“What’s the problem?”
Kyung Hoon looked at the scared looking secretary with a curious face.
“What if it really is luck? Then for Ji Hae Ryu it would be like her losing a lung during
the process of trying to find out for us…”
At this, Kyung Hoon smirked.
“You don’t need to worry about that. There are many things that she would benefit from
accepting this offer. And…”
Kyung Hoon scanned the mental image of the female player’s list again.
“I’m positive that there is something behind this. It’s way too coincidental for there to be nothing hidden behind this.”
At those words, the secretary’s eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.
When you thought of the situation that way, he knew that there was a legitimate reason for Hyunsuk to be inspected. The discovery of the magical stones seemed like they were planned.

I think I like being able to manage my own site. Especially because I come from an advertising background, so I would be able to bring in better advertising money for my site. I will probably start a new site from scratch or something.
