Leveling
27
If it's just his boss, Jin Woo has already shown that he can single-handedly defeat spiders.
But thought of restraining the hordes of insects at the entrance with just them
the two made Yoo Jinho's breathing stop.
"..."
Staring at Yoo Jinho at a loss for words, Jin Woo nodded understandingly.
"Alright, this is the best method."
To kill two birds with one stone.
It was very difficult for a Rank-E like him to enter a private raiding party.
He realized this after trying to earn money for the month.
He could not order a Dungeon with his own credentials, and it was impossible for him to
form his party that conducts his own Raid.
But now Yoo Jinho offers to make a party for him.
This is the perfect opportunity.
“T-but hyungnim! To enter Gates Rank-C, you need a party of at least ten people!"
"If we tell them that we only need to fill in the number of employees and
offer them money, people will line up"
That was the method he learned from Hwang Dongseok.
The Hunters who do not want to risk their lives but need money will
jump at the opportunity with hunger in their eyes.
Yoo Jinho made an expression of defeat,
"You ... You said we'd defeat all the Dungeon monsters alone?"
Well, it's just Jin Woo.
"Yes." Yeah."
With that method, he would be able to hoard all the experience points for himself.
Moreover, with only Yoo Jinho by her side, she did not need to hold back or worry about
reveal his true power.
"I'll be able to step up with it."
Moreover, after the Raid was completed, he would obtain that precious building.
Again, "kill two birds with one stone".
All you have to do is convince Yoo Jinho.
As expected, the young man was terrified.
"T-remain .. isn't that too dangerous, hyungnim?"
“Ck,tk.You understand one thing but not another"
"Huh?"
Jin Woo gestured for Yoo Jinho to approach, and the young man bowed.
"If you see only the two of us going to the Dungeon from another angle, that means it won't
someone else got hurt, right?"
"Right."
"Let's put aside your first Raid, where you have to do something strange.
Imagine how your father would feel if the invading team you assembled went through
nineteen Raid without anyone getting hurt”
Yoo Jinho's eyes opened wide after understanding it.
If ... If they managed to do so, convincing his father would become much easier!
He would be able to show that only Rank-D was able to lead the raiding party
through 19 Raid without casualties.
That would be proof of his ability to become a Guildmaster.
This would be the greatest achievement he could bring before his father.
Jin Woo reads Yoo Jinho's expression and becomes satisfied.
'Because of him'
The one holding all the trump cards right now is Jin Woo.
Even if Yoo Jinho could not be convinced, he could always ensure his growth
through an Association Raid or Instant Dungeon; it was only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, Yoo Jinho was deep in thought.
Even if it's a little scary, if everything goes according to Jin Woo's words, then,
the benefits for him would be huge.
Rethinking the unstoppable power that Jin Woo showed in the last Raid,
he felt that all of this was possible.
Yoo Jinho made a decision.
"OK, I will agree to those terms, hyungnim.I will gather his team members"
"All right"
Jin Woo nodded.
And the two men agreed.
Yoo Jinho was finally able to sit up straight and smile brightly.
"I can get hyungnim's help"
The remaining Raid was no longer worried about him.
He has gained a powerful ally, Jin Woo, and as per his condition, he just has to
gathering the remaining members and this suddenly became much easier.
He no longer needed another capable low-ability Hunter.
On the contrary, anyone who sees a vacancy will do so.
‘With this, I have taken steps to become a Guildmaster.’
Jin Woo smiled as well.
"I'll be alone in all of Rank-C Dungeons and quickly raise my level"
The two men left the cafe with satisfied faces.
________________________________________
After saying goodbye to Yoo Jinho, Jin Woo quickly ran home.
He didn't know when the Association would call.
It's been 10 days since he got out of the hospital; it's not strange for Gates to show up at once
around them.
On average, the Association had collected Hunter two or three times throughout the month for Raid.
The reason he originally gave 1 hour to Yoo Jinho was because Jin Woo wanted to go back to
home as soon as possible.
"Right now, even losing just one Rank-E Dungeon alone would be extremely regrettable"
He wanted to quickly raise his level through monsters.
To think that not having a phone would be this troublesome ... Thank goodness, his new phone
it will arrive in a few days.
Jin Woo opened the door and headed inside.
"..."
The house is quiet.
Since it was a work day, her sister was at school.
Confirming that there was no one else in the house, Jin Woo opened his daily Quest window.
"It's time to pick up the present today."
Jin Woo had already completed the daily Quest before meeting Yoo Jinho but had yet to
receiving prize.
He would not show off the light of recovery status or the appearance of the gift box out of nowhere
where in the middle of the road.

[You have completed the Daily Quest: Preparation to Be Powerful]
[The reward for completing the quest has arrived]
[Do you want to verify? (Y/T)]
"You---- no. No."
He would verify his reward out of habit, but quickly stopped himself
after noticing something.
[Run 10 kilometers: (Complete) (11/10)]
Passing the requirement of 10 km by 1 was not too much for him at first.
But the more he thought about it, it was strange.
"Why does it keep recording after fulfilling its purpose?"
Eyes squinting.
Is this a coincidence?
He got down to the ground and started doing successive push-ups quickly, his sight
on the Quest screen.
ring ~!
[You have successfully done 1 push-up]
[Do 100 Push-ups: (Complete) (111/100)]

[You have successfully done 1 push-up]
Perform 100 Push-ups: (Complete) (112/100)]
'As I thought…'
Running isn't the only category that records off-target.
The push-ups also exceeded the required amount.
Jin Woo becomes curious as to how high the numbers are.
His arms bend, showing their veins.
Thanks to his lifted attributes, he could barely feel his weight.
It feels as light as a feather.
The number quickly reached 200.
ring ~!

ring ~!
[You have successfully done 1 push-up]
[Do 100 Push-ups: (Complete) (200/100)]
The number stops at exactly 200.
He tried a few more times, but the number did not go up.
Soon, he had completed sit-ups and squats to 200 as well.
[Do 100 Push-ups: (Complete) (200/100)]
[Do 100 Sit-ups: (Complete) (200/100)]
[Do 100 Squats: (Complete) (200/100)]
[Run 10 kilometers: (Complete) (11/10)]
Exactly 200.
The tracker does not rise indefinitely, nor does it stop at 100.
There's something to this.
What will wait for him when all his overcaps meet?
"Time to find out"
Jin Woo leaves the house faster than ever.
9 Kms passed in the blink of an eye.
When he finished running in front of his house, a message arrived.
ring ~
[You have completed the 'Hidden Quest: Preparation to Be Strong']
[The reward for completing the quest has arrived]
[Do you want to verify? (Y/T)]
The name of the Quest had not changed, but the type of Quest had changed to "hidden".
Intuition's right.
Jin Woo swallowed.
'...Checking.'
ring ~
[You have received the prize below]
[Gift 1. Status Recovery]
[Gift 2. All statistics +3]
[Gift 3. Choose one:]
[1. Blessed Random Box (Select)]
[2. Cursed Random Box (Select)]
[Thank you all?]
‘Three points for each attribute!’
His eyes are wide open.
As expected of a hidden Quest, the results were incredible.
Adding 3 points to each stat is equal to raising the level 3 times.
No, more precisely, it's better.
Getting all of these points without raising his level would make leveling that much easier.
At the same time, he felt a hint of sadness.
Somewhere deep within him, there was a hope that every Quest was every day ahead
it can be resolved this way, but Jin Woo knows that this may be a one-time deal.
And if it was a one-time deal, he would have to be very careful with the 3rd Prize.
[Gift 3.Choose one:]
[1. Blessed Random Box (Select)]
[2. Cursed Random Box (Select)]
This was the first time he had to choose between different gifts.
Choosing one will lose the other.
"So I might never be able to see the others."
Just by their names, it was clear which one he should choose.
But even that can be a trap.
“Receive 3” Prize
ring ~
[You have to choose between two Random Boxes]
[Blessed Random Box] [Cursed Random Box]
[Will give what 'Player' wants]
[Will provide what 'Player' needs]
[Which one would you choose?]
Explanation simple.
It made my decision even more difficult.
If there is no explanation, he will choose the blessed without thought.
But after reading his explanation, he felt that he would regret the decision,
whatever he chooses.
"Something I want vs. something I need ..."
At first glance, both sound good to him.
"But there's a trap here."
Something he 'wanted' was because it was necessary.
But something he 'needs' may not necessarily be something he wants.
For example, if he is in a situation where he needs a powerful weapon, the bomb
a strongman who could fly everything including himself might appear.
"That seems appropriate for something cursed."
Jin Woo decides to choose an option that is not too risky.
Not yet knowing the results, it is best to minimize the amount of regret involved.
Feeling like he can't be disappointed with something he wants, Jin Woo makes a
a cold decision.
"Blessed Random Box."
A small box appeared at his feet.
Jin Woo took it.
'Could it…?'
