This Is Not a Game

chapter 24



Academy

“Well, this should be enough for the time being.”

Yooseong, who sent a thank you from the heart to the kind-hearted philanthropist, entered a shabby motel nearby with a smile at the feel of his thick pocket.

“Hello. Do you have a room… huh?”

Yuseong, who went to the counter to get a room, looked at the paper on the wall and doubted his eyes.

“I think the price here is wrong.”

“what?”

“It says 150,000 won per night, but didn’t you write it down wrong?”

“You wrote it correctly.”

“No, it’s not a 5-star hotel, it costs 150,000 won per night?”

“At 150,000 won, it’s cheap. Go somewhere else. If you get more than here, you get more. Is there any place that gets less?”

Yooseong was taken aback by the unimaginable price, but remembering the current situation, Yuseong shook his head, handed out all the money donated by the bully, and went into the room written on the key.

“The prices are so crazy. I’m busy just getting stronger, so should I even worry about money?”

There are many ways to make money.

The government was hiring contractors to subdue monsters and restore deteriorating public order, and contractors who wanted to make profits as a by-product of hunting monsters set up companies, and there were also refusals to hire escorts for contractors.

It would be difficult for ordinary people in many ways, but if you are a contractor and have the will to work, it’s not that difficult to stick it in your mouth.

‘But it’s hard to do these things because of the time difference between Earth and another world. If you start a quest, it can disappear for days, even tens of days at worst, but of course it’s impossible to have a job that requires you to follow a regular schedule. It’s good to be able to make a lot of money at once while working irregularly.’

“Selling the items obtained from the quest… no, this is too dangerous.”

It is only the power of the user that can bring things from another world.

As I said in the community last time, Yuseong was very wary of other users.

‘If a product of parascience or a special item that does not exist on Earth starts to appear on the market, I may be able to track myself down based on it. Even if you sell things you get from quests, you have to limit them to things you can get from monsters on Earth. Then, in the end, you have to hunt monsters…’

Yuseong, who came to the conclusion that he had to become stronger after turning around, smiled bitterly and took out his goggles from his bosom.

[COMMUNITY-You have unacknowledged messages(489)]

[Welcome to the community by Room Corner Hanryang!]

I had no intention of getting entangled with the users, but I had no intention of severing the relationship at all.

As it is a conversation between those who move the world behind the scenes, there is a lot of top-secret information that can never be obtained on the Internet.

For example, the weapons being made by Made in USA need state-of-the-art semiconductors made by Ilsung of the Republic of Korea, and Russia, which has taken away much of its territory without being able to stop the invasion of monsters, is seriously considering the use of nuclear weapons.

‘Isn’t this something you can earn big with stocks? Or if you just buy a few things that are reasonably priced…’

If you use information too openly, you risk being tracked, but if you use it little by little, you won’t get noticed.

Yooseong, who scrolled down to the end while putting such useful information into his head, found that new users were having a conversation and sent a message.

-Room corner Hanryang: Nice to meet you.

There was a moment of silence, and then a new message came up.

-Musin: I heard the circumstances from the super ant.

-Room corner Hanryang: You may not believe it, but it’s true.

-Musin: I don’t know how you became a user. there’s only one thing i want If you find an item called Divine Fragment during the quest, I will give you anything in return, so be sure to bring it and sell it to me.

-Room limit: Shards of divinity?

While I was lost in thought for a while at a name I had heard somewhere, Mushin left the community and a new user sent me a message.

-Nirvana: If you find an item called Prime Code, let me know. I’ll give you wealth, fame, power, women, drugs, anything else you want. got it? It’s prime code.

Yoosung smiled at the sight of Nirvana, who just said what he had to say and left like Musin.

I thought that he would get angry because he said that he would not contact me for the time being, or that a barrage of harsh questions would fly to find out his identity, but I felt rather embarrassed to have such a plain response.

‘Do you think that whether you know the identity or not, it won’t help you right now anyway?’

It’s true, but it’s true that I still feel a little angry.

Once again reminding himself of the fact that he must become stronger as quickly as possible, Yooseong came out of the community and searched for a quest.

[Access the multi-dimensional navigation system]

[Quest observation succeeded]

-The girl who wants salvation (784 hours)

-Please kill those who murdered my son in 15 years.

– Until death do us part.

– We are looking for a way to save the World Tree.

– 271 death squads who want to escape from the Pandemonium.

······

·········

Despite the endlessly printed list, Yooseong checked the contents one by one with a serious expression on his face and picked out a quest that would suit him.

Originally, while repeating quests that seemed as easy as possible, I was planning to accumulate experience and steadily collect skills and items, but ‘I want to show my country and colleagues that I am not ashamed of myself.’ After completing the quest, I changed my mind a bit.

‘I don’t think it’s that difficult since I use the ability of another world?’

The first and second quests, where I had nothing, had to suffer or gamble to the point of death, but the third quest, where I was able to use martial arts, was much easier than expected, to the point of yawning.

I would have thought about it at least once if the clear rank and rewards were reduced, but by achieving more than the given goal, the modification rate can be raised to more than 100%, so instead of actively using the abilities of the other world, it is better to go on a slightly higher grade quest. I thought it might be worth a try.

[Can’t hold out any longer]

-Civilization Classification: K-46

– Civilization Rating: 0.71

-Difficulty: D+

-Leon, a cadet at Elande Academy, is going through a very difficult time. He endures while thinking of the people in his family who have expectations of him, but it seems that he will not be able to endure any more day by day at the academy, which becomes more and more difficult. Please help Leon deal with the hardships he is experiencing.

-Clear conditions.

1. Resolving some of the hardships: Karma 100,000, Common Imperial Gold Coin x10, Lesser Mana Stone x1, Vermund Secret Mana Training Method, first half.

– Additional conditions.

1. When the ordeal is completely resolved: Common Imperial Gold Coin x20, Lesser Mana Stone x2, Vermund Vision Mana Training Method, the second half.

“This will be fine.”

A D+ grade quest.

I thought that it would be dangerous to suddenly challenge a quest of too high a level because it was not enough to have a world view based on scientific civilization, but Yooseong decided to choose this quest for two reasons.

The first was because of the reward.

‘It’s only been a few days at this rate, so it’s a situation where I have to worry about eating. If I sell gold coins and lesser mana stones as rewards, I’ll be able to put out the urgent fire.’

Selling things from another world to avoid public attention was something that should be avoided, but fortunately, information was circulating on the Internet that gold coins were found in the bodies of goblins and mana stones in the bodies of some monsters. I thought it would be okay to take it.

Mana seniority was also attractive.

Although he obtained various martial arts through Haecheongyeong, there was only one martial art he could not obtain, and that was the law of the heart.

‘Can’t you choose the simbeop? why? Isn’t mind law the most important thing?’

-···You said you didn’t know anything about martial arts, so you know that well. That’s right. Simbeop can be said to be the most basic foundation for learning martial arts. If you don’t learn the proper simbeop, martial arts can’t even properly do the work of the original power.

‘But why can’t I just learn it?’

-Because you don’t know about martial arts. Surah sense that strengthens the senses, a flash move that puts everything on one step, a four-way pyeonbeop that imitates the movement of a snake, and pain quenching that eliminates the sense of pain. There is no problem even if these are misunderstood or made a mistake, but even a little mislearning of the Simbeop leaves a great scar on the body and mind.

Haecheongyeong explained that in order to prevent such an unfortunate incident, you need to learn a very easy but very stable mental method like the Samjae Simbeop or a teacher who will give you proper teaching, but it is impossible in the case of Yuseong, so you should not learn the Simbeop.

‘No, if you have a grandiose nickname like Tongcheonshinma, shouldn’t you know at least one or two easy SIM methods?’

-Kheum, because I had an excellent intelligence to the point of being called the best martial artist in Moorim, I learned only difficult and powerful martial arts from the beginning and did not pay attention to the things below. Swordsmanship and kwonbeop can be reproduced by watching other guys perform, but it is not something that can be done by seeing it with the eyes…

‘·······.’

Too smart to know anything about easy martial arts.

It was absurd, but considering the strength of the Haecheongyeong, it was an understandable reason.

“If it’s a mana seniority method, it can play a role roughly similar to that of the Simbeop.”

Ask the client if there are any side effects or risks, and if you think it will not work, just throw it away.

And the second reason was the decisive factor in choosing this quest.

‘The difficulty of the quest is not proportional to the grade.’

‘Cheonma Shinyo. Just as the ‘last minute’ quest received the lowest grade of F because of the special situation that Haecheongyeong was in, apart from its murderous difficulty, a few quests that seemed to be out of proportion to the grade and difficulty stood out when looking closely at the description.

This ‘I can’t hold on anymore’ case was one of them.

‘If my prediction is correct…’

Just as he was about to look around for more information, he felt a flash in front of his eyes.

“Looks like you can afford to open your eyes? Is it because you’re getting hit less these days?”

“Get out of the way. I’ll bring you to your senses with one shot.”

A group of boys laughing around them.

Receiving fists, kicks, and insulting words from all sides, Yooseong quietly raised the corner of his mouth.
