Episode 99
Live on.
It was something all three in the room wanted, but it was by no means an easy task.
But Nightcrawler, Hwang In-woo nodded.
“Yes. I will definitely survive. Somehow.”
“Okay. Let’s get up quickly and go raid.”
“Is there still a lot to catch?”
“Stay home.”
While Youngsoo and Inwoo were talking like that.
Taesang just looked at the two with a blank expression.
Because it was an incomprehensible sight.
‘Why is my son talking to someone he just met today like he’s an old friend?’
Squeak.
At that moment, Taesang’s subordinate opened the door and came in.
In his hand he held a bottle containing liquid.
“Excuse me, extraction is complete.”
“oh.”
The extraction of the medicinal herbs that Youngsoo handed over earlier has been completed.
Yeongsu took the bottle and handed it to Inwoo, saying:
“Drink all the way. And avoid strenuous movements, and keep your body warm.”
“yes.”
“Then I’ll go to the bathroom.”
Yeongsu left the hospital room with his subordinate, asking where the bathroom was.
Inwoo drank all the medicine Youngsoo gave him.
“Ugh… … .”
It was written terribly.
But at the same time, I felt a hot energy bubbling and rising inside my body.
That energy began to calm the negative energy running wild in Inwoo’s body.
Of course, this was not a fundamental cure.
However, it was effective enough to buy time until Youngsoo could find a cure.
When Inwoo put down the bottle, Taesang asked.
“How is it?”
“This is the best I’ve had in a year.”
“That’s fortunate. But… did you already know Mr. Cheon Yeong-su?”
“Today is the first time I’ve actually seen it.”
“But how… … .”
“We were guild members in the game. To be exact, he was the guild master, Mr. Cheon Yeong-su.”
“aha…….”
“father.”
“hmm?”
“Actually, I heard it vaguely even while in a coma. Are you planning to fight together with Mr. Cheon Yeong-su?”
“If only you could cure my illness.”
“He will succeed. No matter what. So, I will side with Youngsoo. No matter what.”
“Why… do you think it should be that way?”
Inwoo said, pointing to the word ‘Carmen’ that Yeongsu had carved on the wall.
“The skills he had in the game were still there. Then there’s no reason to worry. The team that Cheon Yeong-su is a part of will definitely be the winner.”
“… Is that it?”
“Yes. Do you know what our Master of Undercovers does best?”
“well?”
“It’s a victory.”
There was a strong conviction in Inwoo’s words.
“It is also a form of victory that saves the teammates on the same side as much as possible.”
“that…….”
“There is the minor problem of killing everyone except those on the same side sometimes… … .”
“huh?”
“Anyway, I don’t know what kind of fight will happen in the future, but if possible, I will stand on Youngsoo’s side. He is someone who will win at all costs.”
“… Remember that.”
While the rich people were talking to each other.
Youngsoo was experiencing minor maladjustment in the bathroom.
“Puss-style… … .”
It was a given, but all of the bathrooms in Mujin Guild were of the flushing type.
After the ‘collapse of civilization’, the water and electricity went out and we couldn’t use flush toilets.
On the other hand, all of the toilets in the wild were flushing type.
In almost the same form as before.
Because groundwater was extracted through vines, there was an abundance of water for domestic use, and likewise, water pipes were replaced with vines, making it possible to establish water supply and sewerage facilities.
In addition, the feces produced in this way were placed in a waste disposal device made from the stomach of the dragon Gentamino and processed cleanly.
Living in such a place, I suddenly stood in front of a toilet, and I had a strange feeling as if I had suddenly fallen into an incredibly distant past.
Anyway… … .
‘I have to take care of business.’
Yeongsu thought while doing his work.
What to do next.
To be exact, what to do and how to do it in the ‘Central Plains’.
The biggest problem was that there was more work to be done in the Central Plains.
Originally, the only goal was to obtain the ‘Blood of the Blood Horse (Blood Jade)’, but now I had to obtain the cure for the Nine-Eight Pulse as well.
But the bigger problem is… … .
‘We need to bring forward the schedule of the plan.’
Yeongsu’s original plan was all set for ‘after the arrival of the Central Plains’.
However, the time when the Central Plains arrives on Earth is about a month later.
And the time that Hwang In-woo can hold out for is one month.
If you sit still and wait for the Central Plains to arrive, Hwang In-woo will die.
So what I have to do is… … .
‘I’ll go to Jungwon first.’
Before the Central Plains arrive, I go to the Central Plains.
That was the only way.
Only by doing so could he simultaneously achieve two goals: obtaining the blood of the Blood Demon and saving Hwang In-woo.
Of course, it was difficult.
I had to completely restructure my plans.
But if only it succeeds… … .
‘You can obtain both the blood of the Blood Demon and the power of Hwang In-woo, who has awakened as an Ice Man.’
Especially in the case of Bingin, it has tremendous power that allows it to rapidly fire wide-area freezing skills.
It was a force that could play a huge role in the ‘war with machines’ that would come after the Central Plains.
‘I have to save you.’
Even for the sake of the future fight, Hwang In-woo must be kept alive.
And above all… … .
‘I want to save you.’
Hwang In-woo, Nightcrawler.
He was a member of the first Undercovers guild, a trustworthy paladin, and… … .
‘friend.’
Gangpol, Nightcrawler, Dubai Hanmo.
Members of the original Undercovers.
They were Youngsu’s only friends, both in reality and in the virtual world.
So, regardless of the gains and losses, I wanted to save him.
Isn’t it wrong to want to save a friend?
‘…good.’
In my head, the outline of a new plan was formed.
Of course, it’s much more difficult.
But if it were successful, it could achieve much more than what was originally planned.
In that case, there was no reason to hesitate.
Crunch.
Yeongsu opened the door to the hospital room and went inside.
Hwang Tae-sang and Hwang In-woo’s gaze simultaneously turned to Yeong-su.
Yeongsu spoke to Taesang.
“Hey, let me ask you one favor.”
“Just speak.”
“Is there anyone in Mujin who can make clothes?”
“I know a former costume designer.”
“That’s good.”
“But what do you want me to do… … .”
“Please make just one set of clothes. In the design I requested.”
* * *
Wild shopping district.
The broken main gate had been restored with red flower petals.
Opening the main gate that had been neatly restored, Youngsoo entered the front yard.
The employees, who were nervous because of the incident earlier, all asked Youngsoo.
“What happened?”
“Everything worked out well. I just now had more work to do.”
And then Gap-seok jumped out late.
Youngsoo said to Gapseok.
“I found the nightcrawler.”
“yes?”
Gapseok’s eyes widened.
“The Nightcrawler I’m thinking of… …? Really?!”
“Yeah. The Crown Prince’s sick son was Nightcrawler.”
“oh my god…….”
Youngsoo explained his plan to Gapseok while they were entering the store.
Gap-seok’s expression became serious when he heard that.
“… Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. That’s why I came here today to prepare.”
“No, but even so, you changed the plan that was originally intended to be carried out at the group level into an individual plan, right? Is that possible?!”
This is why the situation became serious.
The problem with Youngsoo’s new plan.
That is, the only person involved in this plan was Cheon Yeong-su.
But Youngsoo was calm.
“are you okay.”
“It’s okay… … .”
“If this plan succeeds, it will be the best-case scenario. We will have a huge army of Mujin, including Bingin, on our side, and we can prepare for the next war without losing any manpower. That is, the war against machines.”
“But isn’t it almost like gambling?”
“Gambling? Gambling is gambling only when there are no factors beyond my control. This plan is something I can control by putting in the effort. This is not gambling.”
“but…….”
“Do you know who is the most desperate player in the world right now?”
Gapseok couldn’t answer.
“It’s me. Me, after dying in a game for 50 years and dying again, I finally came back to reality only to see that damned reality had become a game.”
“… … .”
“I will somehow prevent destruction and end this reality. I will never die before I see it with my own eyes. That is why I will never gamble.”
Youngsoo went to his room.
And as usual, he made poison, filled the iron needles with it, made a poisonous needle, and went to find Kwak Gi-su to get the magic bullets.
I also took some potions and cleaned up my armor and weapons.
While preparations were underway, someone knocked on the main gate of the wild castle.
This time, not with a hammer, but with his hands.
“You’re here. Open the door.”
The person who knocked on the front door was Hwang Tae-sang, the master of the Mujin Guild.
Yeongsu went out in person to greet him.
“Are you here?”
“Yes, it’s done.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Taesang handed Yeongsu a set of neatly folded clothes.
Gap-seok, who saw the clothes from the side, asked with a puzzled look.
“What clothing design is that… Is that a new piece of armor?”
“The armor is right. It can protect against suspicious gazes.”
“… … ?”
“I’ll change and come out.”
Yeongsu went into his room, changed into the clothes Taesang had given him, and came out.
When they saw the clothes Youngsoo was wearing, question marks appeared in everyone’s eyes.
“Huh?”
“Uh… what is it?”
The clothes that Youngsoo was wearing were extremely classic oriental style clothing.
But it wasn’t a hanbok.
It wasn’t even classical Japanese clothing.
If we really have to be specific, we could say that it is roughly the type of clothing worn during the Song or Ming dynasty.
Gapseok asked.
“What are those clothes… … ?”
“If you want to enter the martial arts world, you need to wear clothes that are in line with the martial arts etiquette.”
“ah……!”
“If you walk around the central plains wearing the clothes you wear here, won’t you be looked at with suspicion?”
Certainly, if you were to walk around Jungwon wearing the same clothes you often wear here, like a white shirt, hoodie, jeans, or slacks, you would inevitably stand out.
So, I made a separate outfit that fit that worldview and wore it.
Gap-seok understood why Yeong-su had gone to the trouble of making and wearing clothes like this.
But Taesang didn’t seem to understand.
“Wait a minute, you’re going around the Central Plains? Didn’t you say there’s only a month left until the Central Plains world encroaches on our world?”
“If we wait for that, Inwoo will die. Come out. You too, Gapseok.”
Yeongsu took Gapseok and Taesang out the main gate of the wild market.
Youngsoo said.
“Your Majesty, you are right. The Central Plains have not yet arrived. So we cannot enter the Central Plains by normal means.”
“then…….”
“But it is possible in an unconventional way.”
Yeah.
Youngsoo took out a sword from his inventory.
A sacred sword that radiates a soft golden light.
The holy sword Kairus, a sacred relic of the elves.
Yeongsu swung the holy sword into the air.
Master!
Space split apart and a portal opened.
A portal to the Central Plains world.
Taesang’s mouth dropped open when he saw that.
Youngsoo said.
“If Jungwon hasn’t come yet, I can go to Jungwon.”
“That, that… … !”
“Lee Gap-seok, you increase the amount of training our children by 1.5 times and train them without missing a single day. Hwang Tae-sang, you must also significantly increase the level of training for your subordinates.”
“Why is that… … .”
“After the Central Plains, a bigger war will come.”
“… … !”
“I can finish the Central Plains on my own, but from then on, we’ll all need our strength. Okay, then.”
Youngsoo stepped through the portal and said.
“See you later.”
Keying.
The portal is closed.
In an instant, only Gapseok and Taesang were left behind.
Somehow the atmosphere feels awkward.
Gapseok opened his mouth.
“… This is Inwoo’s father.”
“Oh, yes. But… how do you know Inwoo?”
“Because we’re friends… … .”
“Oh, that… Internet friend?”
“Is that so?”
There was another brief silence, and this time Taesang spoke first.
“Let’s do our best.”
“Yes, I must do well. Definitely. And… … .”
“… … ?”
“While you’re here, why don’t you have a meal before you go?”
“Oh, yes. Thank you.”
The two went back into the wild market.
* * *
On the side of an unknown mountain, on top of a cliff.
Youngsoo stood at the end.
The sunlight pouring down above my head was familiar, but the scenery spread out beneath my feet was unfamiliar.
Numerous buildings made of tiles, wood, yellow clay, and brick.
This was the central plains.
“Then shall we go?”
Phew-
Yeongsu jumped down the cliff, towards the center of the central plain.
