Ordinary Art Factor [EN]: Chapter 85

The Bio Tech Tree

“Yes. Dran Summon!”

[Ding! Summons 1 Dran.]

As my words and Psycho’s shout finished, two Drans were summoned onto the dungeon floor with a white light.

One was his. One was mine.

“As expected, my lord also possesses a Dran.”

‘Thwack!’

“Ugh! M, my lord!”

“Stop with the useless talk and grab the Dran tentacle.”

“Yes!”

I put the summoned Dran back into my inventory and watched Psycho hesitantly reach for the Dran tentacle.

He twitched for a moment, then opened his eyes after a few seconds.

In that fleeting moment, countless attributes would be imprinted in his mind.

“U, unbelievable! This is really… a, amazing, my lord!”

“Ha… Call me whatever the fuck you want, you Psycho bastard! I give up.”

“Ah, no, Guild Leader.”

“Whatever, tell me the bio tech tree.”

“Yes. First, after the Dran transforms into a tower, the Zergling Core and Speed Upgrade Core are at stage 1. Next, the Hydra Core and Wyvern Core are at Mature Tower 2, and finally, the Magic Worm Core and Ultralisk Core are at Mature Tower 3. From these cores, bio-units can be produced and upgraded, and units can be activated through…”

As expected. The cores for the bio-unit creation tech tree are the same as mine.

Whether I make them or he makes them, all bio-units produced from now on are mine.

“Okay. Make a tower with the Dran.”

“Yes. T, Tower Creation!”

“…… What are you doing?”

“It’s not working? It says I don’t have enough minerals…”

‘Thwack!’

“Argh! My lord!”

Shit! The test is ruined.

I forgot to consider his mineral absorption stat. Simply put, he doesn’t have enough absorption capacity, which is a natural result.

Psycho’s Awakened level is 10th grade, so of course, it wouldn’t work!

I need to raise his level and absorption capacity first. Tsk.

But now that I’m about to do it, it seems like it’s going to be quite a hassle. For now, I should tell Han Deuk and Gilsu to give Psycho a ride on the bus [carry him through content].

His stats are a mess, so there needs to be something to test!

I still don’t think about my tadpole days. A frog is a frog, and a tadpole is a tadpole. There’s no way a tadpole can turn into a frog. Ahem.

By the way, why aren’t they here yet? Clearing a 10th grade dungeon is just like walking, isn’t it?

Ah~ This is annoying. I should just ride the shuttle and watch them clear the dungeon.

Shortly after.

After slapping Psycho’s head about three times for his bizarre shouts as he watched me raise the mechanized unit creation tech tree, I produced a shuttle and set out to find Han Deuk and the snot-nosed kids beyond the hill.

“Wow~ As expected, you are amazing, my lord! A vehicle, no, a flying machine in a dungeon! It’s only natural that all Awakened would look up to you.”

Nonsense that Psycho spewed as soon as he got on the shuttle.

“I’m flying! I’m levitating!”

Hogwash he uttered as we flew in the shuttle to find them.

“Seeing the dungeon from the air instead of the ground gives a different feeling. As expected, my lord is omniscient and omnipotent.”

An accurate assessment of me that he blurted out less than five minutes after we started flying. It’s okay. Keep going.

After flying for about 10 minutes, I saw the snot-nosed kids gathered in a circle in front of our base, listening to Han Deuk. What are they doing now? Planning the clear? Or selling multi-level marketing products?

I approached, lowered the altitude, and eavesdropped a little.

“… Therefore, warrior-type Awakened absolutely need the magical attacks of mages and the support of healers and priests in the front lines. To do that, you need trust and faith to rely on each other, camaraderie for each other, and an organic combination considering the exact characteristics of the other person’s class…”

Useless, absurd, unnecessary words that Han Deuk was spewing out, pretending to be knowledgeable and superior.

The funny thing is that the snot-nosed kids were listening intently to Han Deuk’s bullshit. Their eyes were sparkling.

“What are you doing?”

“Huh? Hyung [older brother/term of endearment], no, Guild Leader!”

“A, a shuttle!”

“Unbelievable!”

“Heok!”

Whether they were surprised or not, I landed the shuttle, approached, and asked.

“Aren’t you clearing? It’s been a while since you left the safety zone, and you’re still doing this?”

“I was giving them a general overview of the dungeon clear…”

“Finish it quickly. And from now on, take that guy with you and give him a ride on the bus.”

“Understood.”

Han Deuk looked at Psycho and nodded.

Then, looking at the snot-nosed kids who were staring at me intently, he continued.

“Then, we will proceed with the clear from now on. I will support you, so warrior types come forward, and mages and healers position themselves in the back.”

“Yes.”

“Yes. Understood.”

“Approach from the 3 o’clock direction, take out the Zealots in front of the gateway first, and then approach the base. Let’s go!”

Han Deuk took them into the 10th grade mechanized dungeon base, and I wondered what they were doing.

That’s right. They were 10th grade.

The warriors rushed at one Zealot, and the sexy mage in the back launched a ranged magic attack.

‘Koo-wuh-wuh.’

“Don’t back down, stick together!”

“Turn left, turn left!”

“Tears of the Goddess Idea! Wall of Ice!”

Ha… This is really frustrating.

I felt like my chest was going to explode as I watched. But I couldn’t just step in and ruin their fun.

Do I have to wait until they’re done playing? Hmm, annoying. Then.

“Summon all Dark Assassins!”

[Ding! Summons 4 Dark Assassins.]

“Only take care of the guys who attack me.”

I acknowledged the summoned Dark Assassins and gave them instructions.

Shall we try clearing the 10th grade mechanized dungeon in a different way? Without interfering with them. Hehe.

As I walked towards the base, Psycho followed me and asked.

“My lord. Where are you going?”

Ah, the guy with no presence. You have nothing to do here.

“You wait here. Don’t wander around and get killed.”

“Wherever my lord goes, I must assist…”

“Shall I tell the Zealot to put a hole in your head?”

“… No, sir. I will wait here. I won’t move a single step.”

“Do whatever you want.”

I left the Psycho with no presence behind and started walking briskly inside.

‘Koo-wuh-wuh.’

‘Koo-wuh… Koo-wuh-wuh.’

As soon as I entered the base, I quickly passed in front of the gateway.

Two Zealots rushed at me, but suddenly their heads were cut off, or a long gauntlet rolled on the dungeon floor.

As I casually passed in front of another gateway at my usual walking speed, three more Zealots rushed at me and were immediately shattered and turned into black smoke.

I was just walking. I slowly walked around with my hands behind my back, looking around.

I walked to the Nexus as if strolling through the dungeon, looking around.

Of course, the Zealots jumping out of the surrounding gateways had nothing to do with me. They were attacking me, I wasn’t clearing it. Definitely.

“Guild Leader!”

Han Deuk shouted at me from over there.

Why?

I stood in front of the Nexus in less than 10 minutes.

Now, all I have to do is destroy the Nexus, but, huh? Do I have a weapon?

The healers and priests were out, and the mages had their specialized magic, and the warrior types had greatswords and other weapons to attack with, but I didn’t have a weapon to destroy the Nexus unless I summoned a unit… Oh?

The four Dark Assassins standing around me. The long swords they were holding. I could use that….

Huh? No? Why? Why not?

I’m just borrowing it for a moment. I’ll give it back soon.

Anyway, aren’t you summons? Summons? Yours are mine, and mine are mine. Why not? Damn it!

I can’t help it. It’s my fault for not thinking about this.

I really need to go to the Awakened shopping mall and buy a greatsword when I get out of the dungeon. It clearly says warrior in my class, but I’ve been walking around without a weapon until now… Tsk.

I acknowledged the Dark Assassins to destroy the Nexus.

[Ding! Cleared the 10th grade mechanized dungeon. Calculating clear contribution. 2 minutes 59 seconds, 58 seconds, 57 seconds, 56 seconds…]

“Gu.ild.Le.ad.er!”

Han Deuk called me again in a loud voice from over there.

Why!

As soon as the dungeon clear notification appeared, Han Deuk ran to me and complained.

“Guild Leader. Why are you ruining their fun? If you’re going to do this, you might as well…”

“I didn’t do it. I was just taking a walk?”

“Huh?”

“Tsk. Never mind. It’s annoying. Do you think I have a lot of time to spare? I’ve done all the testing I need to do, and I have to get out of the dungeon, but how long am I supposed to wait? Huh? You should have cleared it faster.”

“B, but it’s been a while since we’ve been to 10th grade…”

“Stop. Tell them to gather. We’re moving to the entrance by shuttle.”

“It’s only a 30-minute walk…”

“Denied.”

“Yes~sir.”

Han Deuk pouted and called the snot-nosed kids and Psycho together.

3 hours later.

The VIP store at the Linked Awakened Shopping Mall.

“Do you have an Idea Pouch?”

“Yes. I’m sorry. There are no Idea Pouches in any stores in Korea right now.”

“Don’t you have any items with similar characteristics?”

“No.”

“Huh….”

As expected.

It’s harder than picking stars in the sky to buy an item that can be absorbed regardless of the Awakened’s class and characteristics.

The amount of money is the amount of money, but it’s sold as soon as it’s released on the market, but I thought there would be one or two hidden away, but it seems like a pointless guess.

The inventory is still full to the maximum.

If there are no items dropped when clearing the dungeon, it means I have to continue like this for the time being, but where do I put the greatsword? It’s not like I don’t need the units, minerals, and Idea Awls that take up space.

Where is there extra space… Oh?

I looked at Psycho, shortened to Psy, who was next to me, constantly looking around as if he was amazed by the VIP store.

“Psy.”

“Yes. My lord.”

“You had an inventory, right? What’s the size?”

“2.”

“Good. You keep this from now on. If you lose it, you’ll be beaten to death until I feel better. Got it?”

“Yes. My lord! I will risk my life to defend it.”

I took out two mineral chunks and Idea Awls from my inventory and handed them to Psy, urging him.

If you secretly steal items or don’t take them out immediately when I need them, you’ll be beaten to a pulp on a rainy day. Got it?

I looked at Psy, who was making a proud expression, and muttered inwardly.

“Then how about this? It’s an item that increases agility and stamina by 1 each.”

“How much is it?”

“It’s 740 million, but since you’re the support guild leader, I’ll take 700 million.”

“Really? Just a moment.”

I looked at the long greatsword about 120cm long in front of me and checked its condition.

‘General Greatsword

Source: Basil Magic Research Institute, Grade: 7th grade,

Combat Class (Warrior) Agility +1, Stamina +1’

“Hmm, isn’t there anything better than this? I don’t care about the amount.”

“I’m sorry, but this is the best product in our store. You’ll have to use the main store for anything better….”

“I guess so?”

“Yes. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I’ll take this. Just because the cue is good doesn’t mean you’re good at billiards.”

“Yes?”

I misspoke. How could I make such an analogy? Hehe.

I don’t need a very expensive weapon from the beginning. I don’t know swordsmanship anyway.

I’ll have to learn the basics from Gilsu first and then practice from time to time.

I looked at the shopping mall branch manager carefully taking out the greatsword and thought of Gilsu.

How can I learn swordsmanship easily, quickly, and smoothly? Is there no way?

One week later.

I’m going to die. I really feel like I’m going to die.

There’s no place on my shoulders, arms, thighs, and calves that doesn’t hurt.

I want to split Gilsu’s head with a greatsword because of the pain that I don’t know if it’s muscle pain or bruises and the intense temptation to lie down on the floor right now.

But I don’t have the ability. I want to split it, but I can’t, so it’s even more frustrating, and I want to slap that sly mouth and face, but I can’t.

“Your arm is going down. Can’t you maintain a proper posture? 20 minutes left. 5 minutes of sparring will be added.”

“Shibalssaek! [a very strong curse word]”

“10 minutes of sparring will be added.”

“You son of a bitch! I’m going to kill you.”

“… Th, that’s too mu, much.”

“I’m going to split your head vertically with a greatsword!”

“… L, let’s take a break….”

“Fuck off! I’m going to kill you. I’m going to kill you. Shibambassaek! [another very strong curse word]”

“… Han Deuk! Heal!”

Han Deuk’s heal, who was having a good time in one corner with my red face, trembling arms and legs, and juicy curses, came in.

I felt refreshed all over my body in an instant, and the accumulated fatigue disappeared, but since I received the heal, I would have to do it for another hour.

“You sons of bitches! I’m going to kill you both! Keuaaak!”

The 20 minutes of training time left increased to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

It wasn’t like this at first.

I bought Gilsu a delicious dinner a week ago and asked him to help me with swordsmanship training.

Anyway, I also had a warrior class, and I had never wielded a sword before, so it was my own secret weapon to prepare for a possible emergency, but now I regret it so much.

An Awakened, not a normal person. Furthermore, a high-level Awakened grade and stats of 4th grade.

Since Gilsu’s class is one that uses his body, I can’t compare his physical stats, but it’s not like I have low-level Awakened stats either, so I honestly took it lightly.

I thought it would be over if I moved really fast and swung the sword really fast, but that wasn’t it.

The shape of the hand holding the sword, the angle and finish when swinging and stabbing, crawling and breathing, lines and lines, surfaces and surfaces.

It was so complicated and difficult.

I thought it was true when he said that the basics were important and told me not to move while stopping in Mabo [horse stance] or Jeong 자세 [correct posture].

Even when sweat was pouring down like rain and my whole body was trembling, and I felt pleasure from the heal that Han Deuk gave me after the training was over, Gilsu told me to spar.

No, it was a beating disguised as sparring.

The glass windows of the physical training room shattered, cracks appeared in the concrete walls, and the surrounding furniture was smashed to pieces dozens of times.

As the 2 minutes of sparring time increased to 5 minutes and 10 minutes, the number of times I kissed the floor began to increase.

High-level potions and even Han Deuk were waiting in the training room to prepare for an emergency, but it was useless.

I can see why a warrior is a warrior… I’m kidding!

I just want to blow that Shibamba [another curse word] bastard’s head off with a greatsword. Damn it!

“Ha… I’m exhausted. So exhausted.”

“Should I give you another heal?”

“It’s not my body, it’s here that hurts.”

I poked my chest with my finger.

It’s not like I’ve been learning for days. I just want to smack Gilsu in the head just once, just once, with a greatsword—to test if it splits or not.

“If you just give up…”

“A man who has drawn his sword must cut even rotten radish.”

Is that right? It is, right?

After showering, I went to a nearby place for dinner.

‘Woong… woowoong.’

“Yes, this is Jiwon.”

“I told you that you don’t have to identify yourself like that.”

“Haha. I guess so. It’s a habit. Hyung-nim [term of respect for an older brother or male friend], I sincerely congratulate you on your inauguration as the association president.”

“Huh. Receiving a bow while lying down? Are you really not coming up?”

“Well, depending on the situation when they enter the dungeon.”

“Huh. Seriously. You’re tough too. So, about 4 days from now?”

“Yes. If there are no problems, that’s how it will be. By the way, did you specify it in the confirmation?”

“Yeah. I put it in as you said, but they didn’t even look at it. They were confident that they could clear the regen? It seems they’ve explored other methods.”

“I guess so. If they have any brains, they won’t make the same mistake twice.”

“Still, is it okay?”

“If they do well, I’ll be jealous, and if they don’t, it’s a jackpot, so I can aim for it.”

“Huh, hahaha. Anyway, come up as soon as possible. I can’t live with this anxiety.”

“I understand. Coordinate closely with the Capital Defense Command.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting.”

“Yes. Goodbye.”

It’s Taeseok hyung-nim, who was the head of the Jiwon Headquarters of the Korea Awakened Association and has now been inaugurated as the association president.

He must be in a difficult situation too. I mean, it’s the top priority, but I keep telling him not to worry about it, so it seems like that’s making him even more worried.

“Is that the association president?”

“Yeah.”

“Is it because of that this time?”

“Yeah.”

“The plane tickets are all booked.”

“Do you think that guy feels the same way we do? How many people are telling him what to do?”

“Gold spoons [born into wealth]? And isn’t it persimmons and cabbage [easy pickings]?”

“Ignorant.”

“…….”

Han Deuk scratched his head, and Gilsu chuckled beside him.

But, it is, right?

The moment I’ve been waiting for a month is starting to approach.

The Seoul City Hall 3-Grade Bio Dungeon that exploded due to a random manifestation phenomenon that couldn’t be cleared within the time limit.

The reason why the previous association president and his cronies came to find me, the reason why the gold spoons have been pressuring and lobbying the association until now, and the reason why I’ve been acting strangely until now are all because of that.

Last time, I was able to clear it after many twists and turns, but there’s a world of difference between me clearing it proactively and them jumping in to get a piece of the pie.

Originally, I was going to clear the regen [regeneration].

Since it’s not an exploded dungeon, I won’t be able to salvage the bio unit corpses, but the mineral and gas rewards inside are an enormous amount that I’ve never experienced before.

However, their threats that weren’t threats, the appeasement on behalf of the association president, and that damn sense of inferiority.

They’re stubbornly insisting that they can clear the regen, so let them do it.

If they try and fail, they’ll realize, ‘Ah~ I’ve lived like a jerk.’

Then, if I pretend to be generous and offer them a rotten rope, they’ll grab it without even knowing it’s rotten. And if the dungeon explodes, they’ll take all the responsibility for it, and I’ll take all the bio unit corpses. Anyway, that’s it. That’s been my plan so far.

From a few days ago, TV has been doing special broadcasts on this issue.

They say that large corporations such as Saseong, LC, and Jilpung, as well as several mid-sized companies, have joined forces to prepare for the regen clear, and occasionally our Jiwon Guild and my name have been mentioned several times.

Even though there was no Jiwon Guild that had cleared it before, they were clearly guaranteeing the regen clear, and TV, newspapers, and internet portals were only repeating basic statements about the approximate amount of compensation after their clear, the level-up of the awakened, and the image enhancement effect of the company after the regen clear.

Birds of a feather flock together, so there must be gold spoons next to gold spoons.

When the whole nation’s attention was focused on the Seoul City Hall 3-Grade Bio Dungeon regen clear, my wife subtly asked if I wasn’t going to go up to Seoul this time, but that was it.

She’s currently preoccupied with the house construction site and doesn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, she pays more attention to how to decorate the house structure and the interior and appliances that will go inside, the lawn in the garden, the vegetable garden in the back, the pavilion in the fishing spot, and the barbecue room.

No, isn’t that an indirect expression of ‘I’m sure you’ll do well on your own’?

A few days later.

The moment I’ve been waiting for has arrived.

Everyone from the Jiwon Guild, including me, Hongchan hyung, Han Deuk and Gilsu, Jihye and Mihye, Kimeunhee and Choeunji, as well as Psy and three team leaders from the Seoul branch, gathered in front of the large TV in the guild office.

The live broadcast was showing the progress of the Seoul City Hall 3-Grade Bio Dungeon regen clear, and some of them had their mouths sticking out. Especially Jihye.

“Oppa [term of endearment for older brother or male friend]! I, I have to be there. How much money have I spent on dermatology clinics in the past month!”

“I agree.”

“Me too.”

“The main character appears later. Are you satisfied with being a supporting role?”

“… Ma, main character?”

“Th, that’s right? Of course, we’re the main characters, right? As expected… there’s no way our guild leader would just stand still. Of course, that’s right.”

“Haha. That’s right. How can they clear it without us?”

I said one word, and they all said two words.

And I’m the main character. You guys are also supporting roles~. Ahem.

Anyway, the Seoul City Hall 3-Grade Bio Dungeon regen clear that even 500 awakened couldn’t clear last time.

Will they be able to do it properly this time?

They bought up hundreds of billions of won worth of Idea Mirrors, so they must have found a way, but I don’t know what it will be like.

I felt it last time too, but due to the nature of the bio dungeon, moving to the ground and clearing it is a suicidal act.

Hundreds, thousands of burrowed zerglings and hydras, lockers, and ultralisks will attack on the ground, and mutalisks and wyverns will attack in the air, so how?

It’s not something that can be solved by having a large number of awakened….

I stared at the TV scene of 1,000 awakened following each other into the entrance of the 3-Grade Bio Dungeon and muttered inwardly.

‘Gold spoons, do well. Do well and blow up the dungeon one more time. I’ll go.’

4 days later.

The time inside the dungeon is twice as fast as reality, so today is the last day of the time limit after the gold spoons entered the dungeon regen clear.

If they can’t clear it and come out by today, it can be considered exploded.

As I hinted, soldiers from the Capital Defense Command started controlling civilians within a 3km radius from this afternoon, and heavy weapons began to be installed 500m around the dungeon.

And I was gathered with guild members above the team leader level at the Jiwon Guild Seoul branch office, watching TV.

A situation where I don’t know what will happen in a few hours.

About 180 awakened belonging to the Jiwon Guild Seoul branch were waiting nearby, and the police force, including large buses, was controlling the roads so that they could move quickly.

This is all because of the official document requesting the Jiwon Guild to clear it from the Awakened Association president… what a load of crap! It’s all because I used my head. Ahem.

Anyway, the decision will be made in just a few hours.

If my guess is wrong, I’ll have a group dinner and go back to Jeju with my fingers in my mouth, and if it’s right, I’ll quickly move to Seoul City Hall and proceed with the regen clear.

Well, it’s important to clear it well~ without any injuries or casualties in the middle, but it’s high risk, high return.

The more dangerous it is, the more you get.

I don’t need to explain these things, but awakened would know.

In a tense atmosphere, I was intently watching the TV that was being broadcast live when a faint light began to leak from the sky above the dungeon entrance.

“O, oh… Gu, Guild Leader!”

“Light is leaking out!”

“Everyone be quiet!”

It’s noisy because of the reporter who’s screaming like crazy.

Starting from the dungeon entrance, the white light gradually spread out, and the dazzling light brightened the world above.

“It. Ex. Ploded! Jiwon Guild, move quickly according to plan!”

“I understand!”

“Yes!”

“Hurry up as prepared!”

“Teams 1 to 6, get on the bus quickly!”

“Jiwon team, take your items and follow!”

“Move quickly!”

I’m somewhat relieved that my happy appearance is hidden by the shouts of the guild members shouting from all directions.

Because the guild members are more excited than me.

Following the police cars and motorcycles that were blaring sirens in front, I was driving with the guild members in a large bus on a wide-open road,

‘Woong… woowoong.’

As expected, it’s Taeseok hyung-nim.

“Yes. Jiwon….”

“It exploded! It exploded! How did you know? Are you moving now? The Capital Defense Command is on standby, but the dungeon bio units will soon rush out. What should we do now? Huh?”

“Hyung-nim, calm down and listen to me. I’m moving to Seoul City Hall now, and I’ll arrive in 10 minutes at the latest. Just hold on until then. First, gather all the firepower at the dungeon entrance and concentrate your fire when the units come out.”

“Wh, what’s next?”

“What’s next? When we arrive, we’ll proceed with the clear like last time.”

“Then, what about them?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be the same as last time?”

“Huh, okay, I understand for now. I’ll contact you again later. No, contact me once before entering the regen clear.”

“Yes. I understand.”

I hung up the phone and thought about it carefully.

What happened to the 1,000 awakened belonging to the gold spoons who entered to clear the regen?

‘Kwaang… Kwaaang.’

‘Tutadang… tadadang.’

The acrid smell of gunpowder and gunfire vibrated everywhere.

Did the dungeon bio units already rush out in that short time?

“Hurry up! This way.”

After parking in a nearby place and getting off the large bus, Awakened Association employees and some soldiers, as if they had been waiting, hurriedly guided us to the dungeon.

Maintaining formation and quickly moving towards Seoul City Hall, dozens of burrowed zerglings and hydras were coming out of the dungeon entrance.

“Mages, magic manifestation! Warriors, prepare!”

Hongchan hyung, who was next to me, gave the order first. But,

“Wait! Don’t leave your current position! Summon all Zealots and Dragoons! Hyung, tell the soldiers to stop firing.”

“Okay.”

“Tring! Summoning 445 Zealots (Defense + Attack 200%).”

“Tring! Summoning 321 Dragoons (Defense + Attack 200%).”

“Take care of it!”

I summoned hundreds of Zealots and Dragoons and ordered them to clean up the bio units coming out of the dungeon entrance. And,

“Everyone above the deputy team leader level, empty your inventory. Except for weapons, move all food, drinking water, potions, and first aid supplies to the healers or clerics. If it’s not enough, put it in the shuttle and carry it around. Hurry.”

When the gunfire stopped, the bizarre roars of the zerglings and hydras were heard. It’s quite loud as if it’s their last struggle. But those will soon be cleaned up too.

While the guild members were busy, Hongchan hyung came up and said.

“Why their inventory? What are you going to do?”

“The inventory is already insufficient, so I’m going to take out the items and carry them around.”

“Insufficient? Inventory? Why… Ah! Maybe….”

“Yeah. I felt it last time. I regretted leaving the dungeon with those hundreds of bio unit corpses. I have to take care of it thoroughly this time. I’ll tell you in advance, I’m only taking Ultralisks.”

“Hey. If you monopolize Ultralisks, what about these guys?”

“I’m only going to take as much as the limit of ability.”

“Don’t say things that make sense. Aren’t you 4-Grade? Then, the ability value alone will exceed 1,600, but will there be that many Ultralisks!”

“I can’t put that much in because of them. Even if I roughly calculate it, there are only about 3-400.”

I raised my hand and pointed to the hundreds of Zealots and Dragoons who had neatly cleaned up the dungeon entrance.

Hongchan hyung also looked at the summoned units following my finger and nodded… like hell he did!

“Hey! There aren’t even 400 Ultralisks!”

“Let’s wait.”

“Huh? Wh, what?”

“Clear.”

“What the hell are you talking about? What are you waiting for and clear… Se, surely?”

“Yeah. If I destroy everything except the Spire and the Ultralisk Cavern, what else will those things do but produce Ultralisks? If it doesn’t work, I’ll just have to mine minerals after clearing it.”

“…….”

Leaving Hongchan hyung with a dumbfounded, bewildered, and blank expression, I stared intently at the entrance of the Seoul City Hall 3-Grade Bio Dungeon.

While I was preparing to enter the dungeon, a soldier with the rank of colonel and some officers approached me and asked about the handling of the dungeon units that would rush out after we entered.

“If you enter, I’ll build a lot of defense towers at the dungeon entrance, so there won’t be any more units rushing out. But just in case, don’t retreat.”

“De, defense tower, you say? Are you saying you can make that?”

The bewildered captain asked from the side.

I didn’t say that to you? A captain dares to stand in front of a colonel… Ah, did he ask instead?

“As expected, you’re the Jiwon Guild Leader. I understand. I’ll keep an eye on the situation and maintain the alert.”

“Yes. Then….”

After roughly greeting them, when the guild members said they were ready, I was about to call Taeseok hyung-nim to tell him that I was entering now, but he was on the phone.

He must be busy. I roughly sent him a text saying that I was going in now and lined up the guild members.

“From now on, we will enter the Seoul City Hall 3-Grade Bio Dungeon regen clear. Some of you may have guessed why I told you to empty your inventory, so do those things on your own, and mages, magic manifestation!”

As soon as my shout ended, the sound of magic spells from dozens of mages was heard from behind.

“Warriors enter first. Enter!”

“Enter!”

“Enter!”

Dozens of warriors threw themselves into the dark dungeon entrance.

25 minutes after entering the Seoul City Hall 3-Grade Bio Dungeon regen clear.

As soon as the dizziness disappeared, the shouts of the warriors were heard. Because dozens of burrowed zerglings were left at the dungeon entrance.

I don’t need to summon the units myself to take care of this much.

After summoning one probe, I created a pylon, forge, gateway, dragoon core, burrow core, black core, and land core in quick succession.

I created enough defense towers, leaving only a small space at the dungeon entrance. With this much, the dungeon units won’t be able to rush out.

While I was waiting to produce dozens of shuttles from the land core, Psy hesitated and said.

“A, amazing, amazing! My lord!”

“Speak properly.”

“I have nothing to say but that you’re really amazing.”

“Don’t say it if you don’t have anything to say.”

“…….”

Even though Gilsu took Psy around in Jeju and gave him a ride on the bus, his ability value still hasn’t exceeded 10-Grade.

The Jeju City Hall 6-Grade Mech Dungeon regen clear is still more than 3 weeks away, so his level-up will inevitably stagnate for the time being.

The reason why I brought such a pathetic guy into the dungeon is because I want to increase his exclusive vault and exclusive pet ability values to make it easier for me.

Of course, I’m the same, but where else would you get hit by a 3-Grade dungeon spell shockwave? Grow up and become a great vault for me. Ahem.

“Move. Everyone board with the existing shuttle team composition.”

“Board. Existing Team 1, gather here.”

“Teams 2 and 3 are this way.”

“Load your items first. Put the food inside, and the drinking water in the back.”

As the guild members boarded the more than 20 shuttles, I also boarded the shuttle with Hongchan hyung, Psy, Gilsu, Han Deuk, Jihye, and Mihye.

“All shuttles take off!”

As the 20 or so shuttles left the dungeon floor and rose more than 20m into the air,

“Move!”

We started moving. First of all, from the multi [multiple resource location].

2 hours and 10 minutes after entering the Seoul City Hall 3-Grade Bio Dungeon regen clear.

“Wasn’t this roughly the point last time?”

“That’s right. It seems to have changed.”

“Uh? Guild Leader. Are you looking for the multi first? What about the awakened who went in first….”

Hongchan hyung raises his voice because the clear is in progress.

“Why would I look for them? Whether they live or die, they’ll take care of themselves. Let’s move further. We’ll see something if we go.”
