Chapter 140 - An Unexpected Connection (1)
"Hmm, it's a bit tight."
Ain touched the equipnt, which felt a bit awkward.
It was her first ti wearing leather-type armor.
"Is it uncomfortable?"
"Not really… but it feels as if soone is constantly squeezing ."
"Isn't that uncomfortable…?"
"I'm not sure."
The tips of Ain's mouth were up while she touched her waist.
The armor looked like a uniform or a dress optimized for battle.
The outer part was covered with fabric, so it had that unique item's luxurious aspect.
Thanks to Hyun wearing 'The Robes of the Praying Priest,' they both looked like rankers.
"Should we make other pieces as well?"
"Hmm… But we don't need more shoes or accessories."
They decided to make other items in the future after getting other good ingredients.
They decided to fill the other options with good rare items from the shop.
Hyun and Ain went to choose items together, and more than three hours passed by.
'Good, we're well-equipped.'
He began thinking about the other Guild mbers after finishing up buying his and Ain’s equipnt.
'Well, I guess Salon will buy his own.'
Even if he didn't get involved, Salon already had good items, so there was no need for him to worry about it.
'Should I buy a few things for TarrTarr?'
Hyun thought about the money he'd earned through YouTube.
The views on the channel were growing each day.
After seeing the videos that had been uploaded to the channel, Hyun had realized sothing important…
Even if the material was good, you couldn't ignore the power of a video editor.
Although TarrTarr was in middle school, he was already as good as a professional editor.
…No, he was better than a simple video editor!
He produced videos that were only possible if you had good video editing skills and skills that were almost as good as a ranker.
'Well… He did get into Master-tier once, so his gaming sense is better than the average person’s.'
It seed like he could produce high-quality videos because he'd been alongside the guild mbers and understood how they played.
At that point, he couldn't think of asking soone else to edit the videos.
All of his information was in the unedited footage, so he couldn't easily trust and ask soone else.
Hyun thought TarrTarr deserved a reward, so he picked a few items.
Hyun picked a simple weapon, armor, shoes, and other things.
He spent 5000 gold.
Most items had the option of reducing skill cooldown tis.
After all, reducing cooldown tis was the most important option for a Death Knight.
If TarrTarr used every item, his cooldown tis would be reduced by 30%, and with the effect of «Assimilation», it could beco 50%.
"Good, the preparations are perfect!"
Hyun realized he'd forgotten sothing important after returning to the private room.
"Hyun, don't you have sothing for ?"
"Huh?"
Hyun realized his mistake after Louise, who was playing alone in the garden, went running toward him.
Fu- Ain made a victorious smile while wearing a dress that was like luxurious armor.
Louise was ready to cry after seeing Ain’s equipnt.
"You two had a good ti alone… And I don't even get a present…?!"
"N-no. I also prepared sothing for you. Let see…"
Hyun quickly began searching through his inventory.
'Isn't there anything useful?'
Hyun began sweating.
He only had items Louise couldn't use or shouldn't use.
Hyun's eyes shone after a while when he neared the bottom of the inventory.
'A unique magic wand? When did I pick this up?'
There was a small item at the bottom he hadn't noticed before.
He didn't rember the details very well, but since he had it, he’d probably picked it up sohow. It would be better if he gave her at least sothing, so Hyun took it out as if he'd thought about it before.
"It's a present, Louise! I got this item for you!"
"Oh…!"
[Black Knight's Wand]
Louise happily accepted the small magic wand.
Swosh-!
But the mont she grabbed it, it began to grow.
It took him so ti to realize that it wasn't that it grew in size but that it had been folded down before.
The small magic wand suddenly beca almost two ters long.
Black Knight's Wand (Unique)
Minimum Requirents : [Lv. 150] [Strength: 100] [Magical Power: 100]
Durability (330/330)
Attack : 238
Magical Power Increase : 15%
Strength Increase : 15%
- You can cause physical ailnts with just 15% of damage.
- Can grow up to four ters in size.
"Oh? Didn't I give you that?"
While Louise looked at the weapon, confused, Hyun suddenly heard Ain's voice and rembered where he had gotten the item.
That's right. It was the Iluna Quest's 2nd place prize.
Slam!
Louise couldn't use a weapon with a strength requirent of 100 and fell to the ground.
Hyun scratched his head while looking at the scene unfold.
"That was the first present, and I'll give you the second one later."
The next day, Hyun bought her a white pair of gloves.
Louise seed really happy to receive a present that went well with her white-colored clothes. Thanks to that, Hyun felt a little less guilty.

A few days before challenging the quest…
'What's this?'
As soon as Hyun logged in to Asrian Online, he saw he'd received a ssage from soone he'd never talked to before.
The na of the sender was ‘Robert Connor’. According to the ssage, he was one of Asrian's Developers…
'What does a developer want to talk with …?'
Hyun tried to rember if he'd done sothing that could've caused trouble for them.
‘Did I take advantage of a bug?’
He'd used a few shady tactics, but nothing worthy of a ban!
‘Did my playstyle trouble the developers?’
From what he’d heard, developers didn't like users who monopolized the ga's rewards.
‘Am I going to receive a restriction or maybe receive a warning?’
Hyun began worrying and thinking about many possibilities, but after reading the ssage, he realized he was worried about nothing.
The ssage, which began formally, didn't seem to have the intention of warning him, but it was the opposite.
「Thank you for enjoying Asrian Online. The reason why I've sent a ssage is…」
The ssage had a gift attached to it.
[Experience Potion]
- If you use it, your experience will go up by 100.
'It doesn't seem fake.'
There wasn't sothing like an experience potion in Asrian.
It may not have been sothing impressive, but with it, the sender had proved he was a developer.
That's what confused Hyun even more.
The more he read the ssage, the more confused Hyun beca.
「That's why we want you to participate in the project of creating an 'Asrian Concept Video.' If you're willing to participate…」
‘Steven? I think that I've heard that na before.’
He wasn't sure who he was, but it seed like soone famous was going to participate in the project… but he wasn't that interested in it. After all, he was really busy preparing for the Duke's Quest.
He was already busy with the quest, so he had no free ti to worry about other things.
If the sender weren't a developer, Hyun would've thought it was spam email and blocked the sender.
But there was one reason why he couldn't imdiately refuse.
「If you participate, we promise we'll give you a big reward, not just a small present.」
The developers had promised him a big reward.
That's right. It wasn't a random nobody, but a developer!
'Big reward? What could that be?'
Hyun's heart began beating faster.
What if the reward was an important item? It was worth checking out.
Hyun quickly replied.
He thought it would be better if the answer were concise.
「What's the big reward?」
It was a one-line ssage.
He was about to turn around after sending the ssage when…
"Hmm?"
Hyun's eyes narrowed.
It had been only a few seconds since he’d sent it, but a reply had already arrived.
He read the answer.
「Nice to et you, Hyun, it seems like you've just logged in. Did you think about my proposal?」
Hyun quickly began thinking.
「Hmm. First, I'm not really sure about what the project is about… but rather than that, wouldn't it be more important for you to tell what the reward is?」
「I see. That's a reasonable question.」
After saying so, the developer fell into thought.
Had he been too forward?
While Hyun was worrying about that, the developer sent another ssage.
「I think it would be better if we t so I could give you a more detailed explanation… Do you have so ti?」
「et in person?」
Hyun suddenly beca annoyed.
He was preparing to clear the Duke's Quest in a few days, and he wasn't sure how much ti it would take to et soone in real life.
「I'm kind of busy these days, so eting in person would be a little bit hard.」
「Are you busy right now?」
Hyun looked around the private room.
Early morning…
The guild was empty because Salon was sleeping, and Ain and TarrTarr were at school.
Only Louise was there, taking a nap in the private room.
「I'm free right now, but I have things to do soon.」
「That's good to hear. I'll prepare the place.」
「What?」
"…?"
「So what's the reward?」
Hyun tilted his head.
He'd sent another ssage, but there wasn't a reply, even after five minutes.
'Did he go to the bathroom?'
While thinking that was possible, he tried to relax a bit and wait.
'I'll go to the bathroom, too.'
[Changing to rest mode!]
Hyun's view changed when he sat his character on the sofa.
The private room's surroundings started to blur, and it was as if everything was dragged to a point.
…
A few monts later…
Without making any noise, Hyun's body magically disappeared from the sofa.
He wasn't sure what kind of force it was since it wasn't a teleport or a warp.
A new place soon appeared in front of Hyun… Hyun, no… Hyun's body, which was in rest mode, appeared on top of a chair in a new place.
There were two people he'd never seen before in front of him.

Gas, movies…
There hadn't been many cases of the two fields working together; it was the sa even in Asrian.
The two areas began getting involved after Kwon DaeHo beca interested in the movie industry.
"A movie…"
Steven Young.
Kwon DeaHo burst into laughter after reading a column from the movie industry giant.
Steven Young had been able to correctly see the potential of Asrian.
"Yes. The movie industry still has a bigger influence than video gas in this era."
Movies were the best way to approach the world. It was the easier way to approach a huge mass of people.
Many people didn't play video gas, but there probably wasn't anyone who didn't watch movies.
When he heard Steven was going to participate in the festival, a certain thought crossed his mind.
How fast could the movie industry make Asrian grow?
Wasn't the idea behind the important announcent to make Asrian more widely known worldwide?
To think that one of the movie industry titans was so interested in Asrian!
As soon as he realized that, his plans began moving faster.
Kwon DaeHo smiled after he finished making so calculations.
