Regression Is Too Much

21 – The boss is too weak (1)

Huh! Whoo!

When I quietly woke up, I saw Choi Ji-Won swinging a sword beside me.

The distance was much closer compared to before, but did he finally open his heart to me?

Finally, did my efforts bear fruit… !

“… No.”

No. It’s just that there are more people, and the vacant lot is narrower.

“You woke up.”

Choi Ji-Won is looking at me while straightening his hair as he draws his sword.

She rummaged through the grass and threw a large shovel at me.

“What is this?”

“Don’t you know when you see it? It’s a shovel The army must have been there.”

“… So why are you giving me this?”

“The vacant lot is narrow. I think we need to dig up some grass outside.”

“…”

I messed around a lot, but now I am Angel Junho.

He chewed on an energy bar and picked up a shovel.

Ha ha. Are you sure you want to come back?

Pak! Pak!

Perhaps because the climate of the tower is tropical, the grass roots are relatively shallow, so there was no great difficulty in digging up the grass.

Pak! Pak!

If you had me do the work and you were actually swinging a sword, I was going to just say let’s get together.

Choi Ji-won, who digs grass next to me, still has a conscience.

“Uh… We will help too.”

“That’s right. You gave me food, and I gave you a place to sleep… “

A few men who had been silently bruising joined in, and the work of digging up the grass went easier than expected.

Come to think of it, what is the old digger doing now?

Oh, they’re still digging over there. However, I frowned because there were a lot of people, so I think I was a bit stressed.

Mister, I’m sorry.

So, around the time the vacant lot size had expanded by about 20%.

Choi Ji-won said that this was enough, and he sent the other men back.

“Whoa, take a good sigh… “

“You must stay.”

“Huh?”

I was going to take a break, too, but Choi Ji-won grabbed my shoulder as I was getting farther away.

“Food. I have to go get it.”

“Oh.”

3 Days later.

To describe the past three days… It was similar to the military.

When the time comes, we eat and get food.

With the feeling of Hanshin crawling between the gangster’s legs, he followed Choi Ji-won’s words.

So, did you just get eaten like a hogu?

That’s NO NO.

I, Kim Jun-ho, a cool-headed and rational regressor, am a man who takes profits while bending down for a while for his own purposes.

I took two major advantages.

First. He constantly annoyed Choi Ji-won and dug up enough information about Choi Ji-won’s ‘that person’.

The person Choi Ji-won misses is her father and teacher. Now he’s dead

From noble mtl dot com

I think he died while saving someone else… But he didn’t tell me more than this.

But even with this much information, it could be useful in the next episode.

And the second. Fence.

‘I’m helping people, not you. If you want to pamper me, teach me swordsmanship!’ When he threatened, Choi Ji-won reluctantly accepted.

Perhaps it was because he taught me swordsmanship properly according to the contract rather than just killing time this time, the quality of his advice was literally on a different level.

Receiving Choi Ji-won’s sincere advice, my skills rose sharply.

It is as if a dish called Junho Kim, which has potential, and a spoonful of oyster sauce called Jiwon Choi are added to complete the dish with umami.

If my skills were 1.0 Kim Jun-ho at the beginning of this episode, now it seems to be 1.25 Kim Jun-ho.

In terms of stocks, the price is almost at the upper limit. If I were an investor, I would invest in Kim Jun-ho right now.

“Whoa… Whoa… “

So what am I doing right now… He is running through the forest following Choi Ji-won.

It’s been three days since I did this, but it’s still hard.

Choi Ji-won’s running speed was amazing, but his stamina was also amazing.

We were obviously running together, but when I came to my senses, the situation where I was far away was repeated.

“hehehe… “

Thanks to the achievement level, my stamina has improved dramatically, but it’s human level.

That’s not human. A monster that knows how to use a sword.

“… You are late.”

“Heh. Heck. You are fast.”

When I arrived, Choi Ji-won had already decapitated a mutant goblin.

A goblin’s corpse slowly disappears, and a small box containing food and golden marbles slowly appears.

Choi Ji-won naturally took the golden beads into his bosom and handed me a bundle of food.

“You can’t carry food all the time, so hide it somewhere. You can carry it if you don’t have confidence.”

Choi Ji-won runs away again after finishing his words.

“Sir… Monkey.”

I almost cursed instinctively, but that woman might even hear this.

I roughly hid food in a tree and followed Choi Ji-won.

“You are late.”

“…Osoi.”

“What?”

“No…”

Choi Ji-won, who decapitated a mutant goblin again.

Doesn’t that woman think that this line of movement is strange?

The question that I had kept in a corner of my heart was wriggling.

Yeah, but I’ve been wearing it for about 3 days, so it’s okay to ask about this much.

“… Jiwon Choi. Didn’t you run in a straight line all the way here?”

“Right.”

“But how did you know that a mutant goblin was here? It’s not just today… Isn’t it like that every time?”

“… “

Choi Ji-won did not answer with an expressionless face, but his eyes were shaking here and there.

“… Please wait a moment.”

Choi Ji-won asked me to wait and whispered something. I couldn’t understand the meaning, but the tone seemed to be consulting with someone.

What is it? Do you have any imaginary friends?

Choi Ji-won muttered for a long time after that.

“… Okay. Let’s be honest. From what I’ve seen, he doesn’t seem like a bad person.”

As if he had finally finished discussing with his imaginary friend, he slowly lifted his head and met my gaze.

“Junho Kim. I asked how to find out where the mutant goblins are? That is the ability of my characteristics.”

“… What trait is it?”

“It is the ability to roughly detect the enemy’s level even from a distance. Instead, it can only be detected by those who are stronger than a certain level.”

Choi Ji-won answers meekly. It seems to be a separate ability from her sharp senses… I’m going to take this opportunity to ask more questions.

“Then, can you feel the monsters stronger than you nearby? Or are they all weaker than you?”

“… There is one monster on the same level as me.”

“Then isn’t he the boss?”

“That’s not true. He… Because it is too strong.”

Indeed. Did Choi Ji-won already feel the presence of the Minotaur?

But then the question arises.

“Then can’t you feel the presence of the ‘boss’?”

If you repeat the regression, this message always appears at a certain point.

-Clear Condition 1: If you swallow the ‘Golden Orb’ hidden somewhere in the forest, you can move on to the next stage. However, there are only 50 golden orbs.

-Clear condition 2: Defeat the boss, goblin shaman, and a portal will be created to move on to the next stage.

The boss I’m talking about is the goblin shaman here.

If you have the ability to detect strong enemies, wouldn’t it be simple to find a goblin shaman?

I think I can just kill the boss and go through the portal?

Even if the boss was strong, I didn’t think it would be stronger than Choi Ji-won. At most, a level that will end in the 3rd ‘student’ line.

“… “

Unexpectedly, Choi Ji-won goes into trouble without answering right away.

She was examining my face carefully.

“You… What is the purpose? Why are you following me and putting yourself through this hardship?”

Choi Ji-won uses a fantastic way of answering questions with questions.

Until I answer, he’s not going to open his mouth.

…What is my purpose?

Simple.

“Breaking the tower and saving the earth. Getting stronger.”

“… Ha.”

How did he interpret my words, Choi Ji-won burst out laughing a little.

“… It’s easy to say.”

Choi Ji-won turns his back cynically.

Whoops. You asked something meaningful, so I thought you were giving me important information. Was it just a whim?

Juseom Juseom The moment I was about to pick up food.

Took.

In front of my eyes, a small wooden box fell.

“… This.”

The design was familiar to the eye, so I felt like I could understand the contents without even opening it.

This is a box containing golden marbles. But, why is this…

“There was a person like you. A person whose reality is at the bottom, but whose gaze is looking up high in the sky.”

Choi Ji-won talking to me with his back turned. It wasn’t the hard tone ending in ‘da’ that she had used to me until now, but a normal tone that a female college student would use.

“When a crisis comes… Just swallow If you die for others, that is dog death.”

“… “

“You don’t have to think of it as grace. I’m overflowing with marbles, so I’m scattering them all over the place.”

After those words, Choi Ji-won chicly moves away as if indifferent.

Did that woman give me a precious golden bead?

Once again, he must have overlapped his father and me.

The feeling was somehow complicated.

“Wait, wait… !”

I had something to say, but Choi Ji-won has already walked away.

No… I’ve already stocked up with 3 golden marbles…

And the boss… Where’s the boss, b*tch! Why do you just say what you want to say and don’t answer!

“I don’t know.”

“What?”

“I don’t know. In the first place, finding the boss is my purpose.”

On the way home with food.

To my question about where the boss is, the answer to my surprise was ‘I don’t know’.

“No, I heard you can feel the strongman’s presence?”

“Right.”

Choi Ji-won can know the approximate location and level of the strong enemy.

That’s why you can feel the presence of the Minotaur, and also feel the presence of the mutant goblin.

“The problem is… There is no in-between.”

“No relationship?”

“Wouldn’t the boss be weaker than a very strong monster and stronger than a variant? But there is no such person. I can’t locate the ‘Goblin Shaman’ in my abilities.”

“… “

This is because Choi Ji-won’s radar only works on strong players above a certain level.

There are two main possibilities.

First. In case the boss has a different name and is at the same level as the mutant goblin, so it is hard to tell them apart.

In this case, all you have to do is kill all mutant goblins, but…

And the second.

The boss… If you’re so damn weak that you don’t get caught on Choi Ji-won’s radar at all.

“Ha ha.”

Involuntarily, I let out a sigh.

I thought Choi Ji-won would know the location of the boss…

It feels like the reason I’ve endured so far is disappearing. I didn’t do anything to follow you.

Slowly, I pulled out and ate everything I had to eat, and the Minotaur will appear soon… , Around the time I was contemplating whether to return and try another route.

“Wait.”

Choi Ji-won stopped me from thinking.

Her gaze was fixed on a tree.

“… Come out.”

Rustling. Rustle. A man who really walks out saying he wants to come out.

“… Your impression matches what you heard.”

The man who appeared… On the second day, it was Ajae, a firefighter who led a group of about 20 people and left the vacant lot.

Was your name Cheoljin Park? I remember his face because it looked scary like a tiger.

But what is this man doing here?

“Are you guys in charge of the clearing group?”

“… It’s okay to be in charge, but the person in charge is right.”

Surprisingly, Choi Ji-won uses honorifics for elders. It seems that he is the type of person who carefully protects Jang Yoo’s will.

“…My name is Cheoljin Park. It was a fireman…”

Park Cheol-jin speaks with difficulty.

“You two. I heard you’re incredibly strong. You need help.”

“What help?”

“…We found the boss.”

Day 6 after returning. Afternoon.

The world began to flow differently from the previous episodes.
