- Volume 3 Episode 16

Jung Daesik thought about upgrading his shop, remembering his slow and broken laptop.

It costs 1 billion won to make the shop Lv4, but there is still about 1.9 billion left.

'Since the subspace is small, it would be better to upgrade the shop first, see what new skills there are, and then invest the rest of the money.'

Jung Daesik opened his mouth.

"Entropy, I'll upgrade the shop."

The displayed balance suddenly dropped, and entropy suddenly flashed.

After a bit of dazzling and frowned upon, the appearance of entropy changed.

Up until now, it was just a speech bubble that had a face with a symbol on it, but this time the shape became clearer.

Once the body and limbs were formed, the overall shape was like a teddy bear.

Also, the face became more specific, so the eyes, nose, and mouth became more distinct, and the expressions became more colorful.

"How about entropy? Have you gotten any smarter?"

Of course, there was still an arrogant tone of voice.

"Is online access now possible?"

"Is it possible to search?"

"Then where should I try?"

Jung Daesik asked a question.

"How did the Zodiac raid leader change?"

After some time passed, Entropy opened its mouth.

<It is believed that Gwangpil-doo, who was the dealer of the Zodiac Raid Taurus, poisoned the captain's drink at an executive meeting. Gwangpil-doo, who broke into the lieutenant's quarters at night, took his armor and killed Kang Chul-woo and took control of the Zodiac raid. In the process, the team leaders of the Yellow Bull, Baek Yang, Sagittarius, and Haejwa resisted, but two team leaders were seriously injured, so all the team leaders declared surrender and supported Gwang Pil-doo's inauguration as an engineering commander.

Jung Daesik was surprised to hear more details than expected.

He did not greatly trust the search power of entropy.

He thought, at best, that he could add two or three things from what he had found.

But he was detailed, as if he had looked into the situation that night.

"How did you find out?"

Entropy replied bluntly.

"Is this what you found through a search?"

"No, because I used a search engine..."

"You mean you have a separate search engine?"

"Wait, wait. Then you can find all the materials that have been uploaded online, right? That's almost hacking, isn't it?"

As time passed, the abilities of the Awoken were becoming more diverse.

Some of them had the ability to relate to computers and information networks, so in front of such people, various security systems were useless.

Naturally, the defense system through this ability was also developing day by day.

It was impossible for even the best hackers to get the data stored there.

Of course, it wasn't something that could be requested from the entropy that was only Lv4.

Even so, the ability of current entropy was truly surprising.

It was said that most of the information Jung Daesik wanted can be found, unless it is information that is treated as a top secret.

It was very convenient to collect the fragmented data and tell only the results.

As for the authenticity, it is necessary to suspect that it is a synthesis of information floating around online, but that did not hinder the convenience of entropy search.

"Awesome! It's really comfortable. It's amazing."

In response to Jung Daesik's burst of praise, for the first time, Entropy revealed a different expression instead of a shivering, expressionless, or scornful expression.

Well, in terms of facial expressions, it was still at the level of a teddy bear, but anyway, entropy seemed a bit shy.

Jung Daesik, feeling good, chuckled.

"Do you have any other abilities other than online access?"

"It can replace the role of a cell phone, this one. Another way?"

"Is that all?"

There is no end to people's greed, Jung Daesik expressed his disappointment.

Are you saying that such a fluffy teddy bear can be seen in the eyes of others and used anywhere?

Thinking it was a meaningless function, he muttered, and entropy became expressionless again.

"How much is that?"

Jung Daesik asked a question out of fear even though the amount was obvious.

Again, Jung Daesik made a fishy steaming sound.

100 billion?

It is indeed a huge amount.

Would that kind of money be used to upgrade the shop?

Jung Daesik was skeptical and looked at the newly opened skill items.

Strengthening, spiritual, and metamorphic skills have increased significantly, but basic abilities have already been retained.

If you play solo, you may need various skills, but now you are a member of a raid.

Even if you don't need to add skills, the other crew members will supplement that part, so it wasn't urgent.

Anyway, the amount required to open the skill is 10 million won.

I decided to put it off for the time being because I could open it anytime I wanted.

Instead, I devised a different direction.

'I'd rather upgrade the skills I have. I've never done a skill upgrade before, so I'm curious to see how powerful it is.'

It was unconditional 1 billion won to upgrade the skill.

Seeing that the cost of acquiring new skills did not go up, there was a high possibility that the skill upgrade would continue to be 1 billion won.

Jung Daesik checked this with entropy, and his guess was correct.

"Yeah...? Then I guess I'll just have to try it."

Jung Daesik was contemplating whether to upgrade the powerful sword or the steel body.

There were several other skills, but the feeling of being an assistant was strong, so I gave priority to those two skills.

'If you add reinforcement to the powerful fist, the attack power is already considerable. I'd rather upgrade the steel body. No matter what, safety comes first. No matter how many other crew members help me, I must protect my life.'

After organizing his thoughts, Jung Daesik opened his mouth.

"I'll upgrade the steel body."

Paaah!

Suddenly, a soft light rose from Jung Daesik. When the light that seemed to pierce through the skin was absorbed again and disappeared, I felt refreshed as if I had been in the bathroom for about an hour or three.

But when I saw that close to 3 billion dollars had fallen to one place again, I felt heartbroken.'You can do 2 billion in one sitting. Unprecedented luxury.'

Jung Daesik shut his mouth again and decided to leave the remaining 950 million won.

He returned his entropy, thinking that he had to do another sensible or not at that time after passing 1 billion.

'Okay, I'm going to try the upgraded steel body in training today!'

Episode 18. First dispatch

In fact, I couldn't test the upgraded steel body in training.

For about a week, Kim Shi-on had to undergo rigorous training to match the sum of his troops, but it was all a simulated battle using the hologram room.

It was unreasonable to understand how much the steel body had been strengthened because it did not take any real damage.

Fortunately, the opportunity came not too long ago.

After a week of training, Kim Si-on came up with a hunting schedule.

"This request came from the Cheongunmanma Raid. They say they are going to rob the Wyvern nest, but they need support. The expected size of the raid team is about 30 people. The reward is everything except the Wyvern egg."

Hearing this, Sogangdu whistled.

With the exception of the Wyvern's eggs, everything they catch was for the Foreign Legion, so it would be a significant income.

Kim Si-on frowned at Sogang-du's frivolous behavior, but he did not dare to open his mouth to warn.

It's thanks to the two of them quivering and closing his mouth.

Instead, Kim Si-on continued to speak.

"Our mission is to assist the team members so that the Cheongun Manma raid can safely take the Wyvern eggs. We also have to protect the monster investigation team dispatched by the government."

Jung Daesik widened his eyes.

"The monster investigation team?"

Kim Si-on nodded his head.

"The Cheongun Manma raid is going to gather Wyvern eggs at the request of a government official. The monster investigation team will accompany the raid team to conduct dungeon exploration and monster research. ."

Hearing those words, Mi-rae Heo suddenly remembered something and said, "Ah!" made a sound

She said with a blush in her face as all eyes of her crew were on her.

"That... I've heard that the government is running a monster book business."

Hermione was right.

Kim Si-on answered yes and added an explanation.

“So, this operation is very important. This time, it is a form of dispatching to the Cheongun Manma raid, but if we do it well, next time, the government commission may come right in our direction.

The Monster Encyclopedia business is not a business that will end in a year or two. It is a long-term, state-led project that requires enormous financial resources. It would be nice if we could bring that work. So, stay alert and prepare well for the remaining two days so that you can start the operation. Do you understand?"

The dungeon to enter with the raid team was GW19 Dungeon in Gangwon-do.

"This dungeon is a field-type dungeon and is famous for its harsh environment. It's large, and it's often stormy and the weather changes rapidly. Without monsters, it's easy to die even if you're in distress."

Kim Si-on continued her briefing by flipping through her material screens.

"Also, this dungeon is famous for monsters appearing all over the ground, underground, and in the sky. In particular, the Grand Mall digging tunnels, Crazy Buffalo gathering in herds, and very ferocious Wyverns pop out."
