Level 2 Player

Servant Cheon Mu-seong

‘Did that old man eat something wrong? Why is he suddenly like that?’

Jin-su looked at Cheon Mu-seong dancing a sword dance with a puzzled gaze.

“Jin-su, that old man seems like a quite strange person.”

Shin Su-a also looked at Cheon Mu-seong with a reluctant gaze. She thought it was strange from the time he suddenly appeared and requested a spar. But once he closed his eyes and began dancing in the middle of the spar, it looked even stranger.

“Yeah, he seems like a strange person.”

Jin-su was really flustered.

Cheon Mu-seong often did strange acts saying he would obtain enlightenment even before regression. He endured a week staring at a restaurant wall in the middle of the road saying he is doing wall-facing training out of the blue, and he also stood on his hands for more than a month, ate meals, slept, and hunted monsters saying he needs a vision of seeing the world upside down.

‘There was also a time he endured more than ten days sitting in the lotus position in the center of a public toilet saying he is doing mental cultivation.’

However, there was never a time he closed his eyes and danced a sword dance in the middle of a spar where his neck might fly if wrong.

‘To think doing acts where there is nothing to say even if the neck flies if the opponent had an evil heart.’

It was a situation of great fortune that the spar opponent is Jin-su.

“Do not mind that old man and let’s continue hunting.”

“Will it still be okay? That person seems like his mind is not intact right now.”

At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a said while glancing at Cheon Mu-seong.

“It is fine. There is no need to mind.”

Cheon Mu-seong dancing the sword dance was already emitting pure white force in streams. The wave of powerful mana and the wave of force spreading in all directions was terrifying to the degree where approach is impossible unless a strong person of Jin-su or Cheon Mu-seong’s level.

Probably monsters of a level that appear near the start city of Floor 200 would obviously be ground just by going near Cheon Mu-seong dancing the sword dance.

“Well, it seems fine even if leaving him still according to your words, Jin-su.”

Shin Su-a also saw the wave of force wrapping Cheon Mu-seong’s body and accepted Jin-su’s words.

‘But did that old man really obtain enlightenment?’

Although Jin-su had seen Cheon Mu-seong’s useless acts countless times before regression, he had never seen the appearance of really obtaining enlightenment even once.

‘First, let’s hunt.’

Because Cheon Mu-seong suddenly appeared, he could not fill today’s quota.

“Leo.”

“Nyaaaaaang!”

At Jin-su’s call, Leo let out a vigorous wide-area provocation roar.

Dududududu!

“Kuoooo!”

“Kyaaaang!”

Monsters gathered from all sides.

‘Flame Barrier, Flame Explosion, Flame Storm.’

Hwareureureuk!

Kwaaaaaang!

Jin-su used magic attack skills and started a full-scale driving hunt.

“Krureung!”

In the middle of hunting, some monsters approached Cheon Mu-seong without knowing.

Slash! Splat!

And they were caught in the wave of force and died as is.

‘As expected, there was no need to mind.’

Jin-su continued monster hunting with a calm expression. Like that, time continued to flow, and around the time it became dusk.

Cheon Mu-seong was still dancing the sword dance with both eyes closed.

Puzzlement bloomed on Jin-su’s expression.

‘Until when is he thinking of staying like that? Does he even have mana and health left?’

The memory of the guild members including the Eight Mad Dogs taking turns standing guard in preparation for any situation just in case every time Cheon Mu-seong did useless acts before regression floated freshly.

Because most of the guild members received large and small help from Cheon Mu-seong, so they could not leave him on the street or in the toilet and go.

‘Don’t tell me I have to stand guard until that useless act ends?’

Even so, it was a bit like that to abandon and go.

In the Tower, it is unknown what anomaly will suddenly occur. In extreme words, an out-of-spec monster might appear out of the blue and attack Cheon Mu-seong, right?

‘It is fine if just making the summons hunt nearby.’

Then there was no matter of Jin-su suffering.

“Jin-su, until when do we have to wait?”

“First, let’s wait about 1 more hour, and if still that state, let’s just return to the city by ourselves.”

“Let’s do that. Even if we just go, it seems there will be no dangerous matter for that old man.”

Jin-su and Shin Su-a decided to wait only 1 more hour and continued hunting.

Kwaaaaa!

At that time, a storm of powerful mana suddenly burst from Cheon Mu-seong’s body.

‘What?’

Jin-su looked at Cheon Mu-seong with a puzzled expression. Cheon Mu-seong who was dancing the sword dance with both eyes closed stopped the movements and stood quietly in the storm of mana.

Saaaak!

The storm of mana that was roughly swirling was sucked into Cheon Mu-seong’s body in an instant.

Flash!

At the moment Cheon Mu-seong opened his eyes, a brilliant light cluster spewed out.

‘Did he really obtain enlightenment?’

Jin-su tilted his head and looked at Cheon Mu-seong.

Cheon Mu-seong who opened his eyes also looked at Jin-su.

“I lost.”

The first thing Cheon Mu-seong did was acknowledging his defeat.

“I am Cheon Mu-seong. I received a large favor from you. Thank you really.”

Cheon Mu-seong bowed his waist 90 degrees to Jin-su and politely greeted.

‘Why is that old man like that?’

Jin-su’s expression was dyed with perplexity. Cheon Mu-seong with a strong old-fashioned tendency never showed such polite courtesy to Jin-su even before regression.

“Did you really obtain enlightenment?”

At Jin-su’s question, Cheon Mu-seong nodded.

“The system also acknowledged. Thanks to that, the level of the martial arts I learned rose greatly.”

At Cheon Mu-seong’s words, Jin-su’s mouth opened wide.

Although the growth speed is clearly slower than hunting, skill levels can also be raised through training. However, most ended at the degree of proficiency rising where one can use the skill a bit more skillfully, not the level.

Especially the higher the skill level, the closer to impossible it was to raise the level through simple training, not hunting.

It is not for no reason that Cheon Mu-seong before regression never obtained enlightenment even once.

‘Although I heard words that some players obtained enlightenment and the skill level rose greatly.’

It was the first time he directly witnessed it.

“It is all thanks to you. From now on, I will treat you as a benefactor.”

Cheon Mu-seong said while making a benevolent smile.

“There is no need to do so unnecessarily.”

Jin-su also made a soft smile and responded.

“Even if you refuse like that, I will think of you as a benefactor and treat you, so know that. If there is anything you desire or request from me by any chance, say anything. Although I am weaker than you, I have quite usable talents in my own way, so I will do my best to help you who is the benefactor.”

Cheon Mu-seong emitted a warm atmosphere and looked at Jin-su with an expression of just requesting anything. But Jin-su knew about Cheon Mu-seong better than anyone.

“Is there a need to request unnecessarily. To a servant, it is fine if just giving instructions.”

At the moment Jin-su said while smiling brightly, the face of Cheon Mu-seong who was making a benevolent smile hardened like a stone lump.

“Kheum, your memory is good. To think leaving such a not particularly big matter in the head unnecessarily.”

“If you are going to say two words with one mouth, I also have no choice. Well, it is not even that we wrote a contract, and it is only a matter of a verbal promise. If you want to pretend not to know and pass it over, you can do so.”

At Jin-su’s words, a crack went on the face of Cheon Mu-seong that was hardened like a stone lump. Cheon Mu-seong caused pupil earthquakes and fell into extreme confusion. Then, as if reaching a conclusion, he forcibly unfolded his expression and opened his mouth.

“A man’s word is worth a thousand gold. Do you think I would say one mouth two words. From now on, I will serve you as the lord.”

Cheon Mu-seong changed the title calling Jin-su from benefactor to lord. After that, Cheon Mu-seong slightly, very slightly bowed his head toward Jin-su. Jin-su made a satisfied smile as if he knew it would be so.

‘This old man has a strong contrary temperament.’

If Jin-su pressed saying to keep the promise, he would have probably struggled somehow to escape.

‘Still, it is hard to escape.’

Cheon Mu-seong valued face, and to begin with, he was not a personality who says two words with one mouth.

‘But the probability of continuing to throw a tantrum and grumble is high.’

However, if giving the right to choose like this, since it is a matter he chose himself, he could not even grumble.

‘Well, becoming my servant is not an enormous loss from the old man’s perspective either.’

There is no way Jin-su would really use Cheon Mu-seong like a servant, and even if Jin-su uses him like a servant, Cheon Mu-seong was not one who would follow obediently.

Decisively, Cheon Mu-seong needed to stick next to Jin-su in some way, whether the justification of repaying a favor or the justification of becoming a servant as the price of spar defeat.

Jin-su showed Cheon Mu-seong the Formless Sword Art that is the ideal the Unrestrained Sword Art he is learning should head toward.

Thinking of Cheon Mu-seong’s inclination, even if there is no favor to repay and he did not become a servant by a bet, it was obvious he would stick saying all kinds of unreasonable reasons to receive teaching from Jin-su.

‘There is nothing bad for me either from going together with the old man.’

He met Cheon Mu-seong far faster than before regression. That means the time Jin-su can make Cheon Mu-seong strong has increased enormously.

‘Old man, this time I will not send you off that easily.’

So that he does not die before Jin-su like before regression...

He will thoroughly temper Cheon Mu-seong strongly so that they can continue to climb the Tower together.

“I look forward to your kind cooperation from now on, Elder Cheon.”

“Kkeueung, I also look forward to it. L-lord.”

At Jin-su’s words, Cheon Mu-seong answered with an uncomfortable expression as if it cannot be helped. Calling Cheon Mu-seong Elder Cheon made him feel like he returned to before regression, so the mood was somehow strange.

‘Calling lord is a bit strange.’

Seeing Cheon Mu-seong’s uncomfortable expression was somehow refreshing, so he decided to just leave it.

The Jin-su party that increased from two to three returned to the start city. Since the time was late, they ate dinner and entered their respective lodgings.

‘I have to finish the item organization.’

Jin-su was in a state of not yet fully processing the items obtained after the clash with Sahyeolmun.

‘Let’s not just sell this.’

The spear the demon used was a level 1,600 weapon. If selling at the auction house, it was a high-priced item that can obtain at least several billion points, but it was wasteful to just sell.

‘It is an item with quite a lot of karma piled.’

Perhaps because it is a weapon the demon used, resentment and grudges were thickly piled, so if only meeting the right owner, it could receive more than 10 billion points.

‘The Demon Hunter class change certificate is not something to sell.’

It is a class change certificate that can receive several tens of billions of points, but since it is a rare item to begin with, if selling it, he could not guarantee he could obtain it again.

‘Since it is hard to learn immediately, let’s store it in the inventory.’

The Demon Hunter class change certificate was holy type and a typical demon counter class. It consisted of passive skills and active skills that give additional damage or reduce damage when dealing with demons.

‘There is no matter of dealing with demons immediately.’

It was best to put it in the inventory hoping the class skill level rises when there is a matter of using it later.

‘The Demon’s Essence, let’s store this too.’

When Lucy comes find him, if selling it together with the spear, he could obtain more points than selling at the auction house.

‘The synthesized items also sold a lot. I have to synthesize again and upload.’

The items made using the Item Synthesis skill sold quite well in their own way.

‘It does not burst a jackpot, but it earns points smallly.’

Like the saying gathering dust makes a mountain, if purchasing 2 items with lacking points at the auction house and then synthesizing to remove the disadvantages and selling again, he could see not a little profit compared to the investment.

Excluding the purchase cost of the items that become materials, since it is a matter of only consuming Jin-su’s mana, it was quite lucrative in its own way.

‘Just be careful so that bad stock does not pile.’

Since there is a limit to the sales windows that can be registered at the auction house, if there is a risk of becoming bad stock, he just reduced the profit rate and sold by dumping.

While Jin-su was immersing in item synthesis.

Knock knock knock!

“Jin-su, can I come in for a bit?”

Shin Su-a came to Jin-su’s room.
