It was Gu Sungmin, a Coin-specializing thief whod gone around swindling beginner Players out of Coins in the early days of Playing. I rembered him as the most famous thief Player in the early period.
And hes got an innate ability of his own, too.
That was why he was able to rob so many Players of their money.
Wallet Perception, huh.
From the looks of it, he could roughly see how many Coins were in a Players inventory. Since this was the early period of Playing, he might not know the exact figure, but he could probably determine who in the room had the greatest number of Coins.
Currently, the person with the most Coins is
There was a good chance it was , since I had about 13,000 Coins at the mont. Sure enough, Gu Sungmins gaze flitted to . He wasnt staring at , but he was definitely keeping
in sight.
Sungmin drew the attention of the crowd with his characteristic sly laugh and exaggerated clapping.
Its not just your face that is beautiful, but also your skills.
He ca closer.
Hrmmm?
Many early Players experienced the strange phenonon of the Coins in their Inventory suddenly dropping to 0. If Gu Sungmin hadnt done the braindead act of revealing that he was a thief Player, those Coin losses might have remained a mystery for an eternity.
He often bragged about all the foreign cars he had, and then
He made a drunk post on Instagram detailing exactly how he earned his money.
Looks like hes trying to draw attention, co to , and take my Coins.
I saw his movents precisely. His mouth was busy with other things and he appeared to be paying attention solely to Yeonseo, but I could still see it. Just like how I could read Yeonseos sword path, sohow, I was simply able to see his intentions.
But how co he cant see Darongi?
[!!!] marks clearly appeared over Darongis head, but Gu Sungmin didnt seem to have much interest in Darongi. To be more exact, it didnt look like he could see Darongi.
I think its because of his innate ability.
For a frickin squirrel, he had an incredible amount of innate abilities.
Innate abilities: [Pickup] [Pathfinding] [Gnawing] [Theft] [Subspace] [Big Belly] [Hole Digging] [Stealth] [Master Selection]
Co to think of it, Darongis summary was nothing to scoff at, either.
Summary: Gluttonous Theft Genius
A promising thief t a theft genius. Darongi stared at , the [!!!] marks shining red above his head. He seed to want sothing from , like he was asking, If I bring you a ton of Coins, whatll you give ?
We couldnt converse, but we could communicate well enough.
Fruit Bundle.
Two words, and Darongi was off, moving as swiftly as an arrow.
[Using the innate ability Theft.]
[Coins have been acquired.]
[Using the innate ability Subspace.]
[Coins have been stored in the Subspace.]
Gu Sungmin didnt notice Darongi at all.
Are you fellows her party mbers?
In the anti, the obviously defeated Kim Taechun stealthily snuck away. Gu Sungmin was drawing the crowds attention away, so he left without another word.
[Eye of Perception detects a foreign energy.]
[Eye of Perception grasps the use of an innate ability.]
I continued to stay where I was. I knew what he was trying to do. When I looked with Observers Eye, I could see that a bunch of mana was gathered around Gu Sungmins handhe seed to be in the process of taking my Coins. I opened my Inventory to find that my Coins were slowly decreasing in amount.
Wow.
What a fun ability. To think he could really suck Coins from others, and even from a target that was over ten levels higher than him. He was indeed a promising thief.
My friend is an incredibly competent journalist Would you be willing to do an interview with us?
What? N-No. Um, thats
Yeonseo reddened. In the anti, Darongi jumped onto Sungmins shoulder with Stealth activated and stared at
with [!!!] over his head. When I gave him a nod, Darongi snorted and waited, like he was shouting, Watch, Im this aweso!
This is my business card. I really would like to interview you. Please contact .
The whole ti, my Coins continued to dwindle. When the number hit 0, Darongi took action with terrifyingly impeccable timing like the theft genius he was.
[Using the innate ability Theft.]
[Coins have been acquired.]
[Using the innate ability Subspace.]
[Coins have been stored in the Subspace.]
A [?] popped up above Darongis head. It was a ssage I could click. There really was no shortage of fascinating things when it ca to this fellow.
[As the one who has beco Darongis master, you can access Darongis Subspace.]
[Currently, there are 47,000 Coins in Darongis Subspace.]
I almost laughed, dumbfounded. Just by sitting around, I was about to co into possession of 47k Coins. All it took to replicate this was to go to the store and buy a bunch of snacks that squirrels liked.
-13,000 beca
47,000 in re monts. I obtained a whopping 34,000 while sitting down.
Hah.
Making money sure was easy. Thinking of how I got just 17 Coins from killing a level 25 Fanged Boar, this was one crazy amount of Coins to get in one go.
And it looks like this guy doesnt even realize hes lost all the money in his Inventory.
He gave a very polite farewell, like he had finished everything he needed to do here.
I will get in contact with you at a later ti.
And then, he turned and left, which made
certain of it.
He really doesnt know? Even though he was sure to have checked his Inventory? Wow.
Darongi, this little squirrel, was the real deal.
He really is a theft genius.
I didnt know for sure, but I guessed that Darongi secretly put fake Coins into Gu Sungmins Inventory to fool him, if only temporarily. There was no other explanation. In any case, I rubbed the top of Darongis head with my finger after he returned to my shoulder. The boastful Darongi purred like a cat, enjoying the petting with [] marks.
Just wait a little. Ill buy you a ton of the snacks you like.
Hm? Boss, what are you saying? Whyre you talking about snacks all of a sudden?
No, its nothing.
Co to think of it, Yeonseo couldnt see Darongi, either. This little rascal had a real convenient ability.
Hey, this kid says his na is Jo Sunghyun. He said thanks to , so I told him to say thanks to you.
...
The Typhoon Jo Sunghyun was the type of Player who didnt forget grudges, but also rembered favors even more clearly, to the point that he got the absolute good Lady of the Scales as his contracted Guardian.
[Player]
Na: Jo Sunghyun
Age: 18
Level: 30
Class: Child of Wind
Guardian: Lady of the Scales
Innate ability: [Standstill]
State: Gratitude / Closeness / Rage
Disposition: Just / Strong Pride / Unyielding Spirit
Summary: Not-Yet-Mature Incarnation of Hammurabi
The disposition/state/summary only show the most representative and can change according to the situation.Because Eye of Perceptions proficiency is not high enough, viewing more detailed information is impossible.
His talent plates werent completely open, but he was already level 30, and he had one innate ability.
As expected of Jo Sunghyun.
It was the sa as the past. He made a contract with the Lady of the Scales.
Jo Sunghyun bowed to , saying, Thank you.
Its nothing to be thankful about. That person earlier wasnt acting like a real adult.
The Jo Sunghyun I knew from the future always said, If an adult cannot act like an adult, theyre not a real adult.
As was par for the course for a Player contracted with the Lady of the Scales, he was one of the Players who put great importance on justice and principles, a Player who lived by the principle of an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.
If a person cannot act like a person, I will not treat them like one.
His ntality was probably the sa right now. Even when he was appointed as one of Koreas 8 Heroes, he spoke politely, even to little kids.
If Sunghyuns disposition is like that its probably best to speak politely to him.
In any case, we exchanged proper greetings. Thanks to Taechun and Percys brilliant role(?), I was able to leave a good impression on Sunghyun.
With that, the first step was done. It wasnt my intention, but I also got a bunch of Coins as a bonus. It would make the next steps a lot easier.
Alright, next is
Looking at Sunghyun, I said, You are a magician class, correct?
How do you know that?
The way you moved when that large man was picking a fight didnt strike
as a combat class.
...Ah.
You are not a combat class, but it looked to
that you were ntally prepared to so degree for a fight. From your body movents, you were ready to jump back and widen the distance.
More than anything
There was a weak wind in the room.
* * *
* * *
There was a weak wind in the room.
At those words, Yoohyun exclaid in admiration, Hyungnim, just when did you pick up all that?
Dammit, any way you slice it, this guys really a genius. When did you see all that? I was just spacing out.
Yeonseo elbowed Yoohyun and Sung-gu in the ribs. Darn it, shut up, you two. You have to let him say these things so we can learn. Lets just pay attention.
The journalists were clicking their shutters nonstop, broadcasting the current situation, but Yeonseo didnt pay any attention to the outsiders and focused on Hyukjins words.
Which ans, youre a combat class who doesnt use weapons or fights with your fists and feet, one who uses wind.
There was only one class like that.
You must be a combat magician, one specializing in wind.
...
Like a Player in the early period, Jo Sunghyun naively nodded.
Impressive.
He looked calm on the outside as he nodded, but Sunghyun was feeling greatly shocked on the inside. It surprised him that there were adults who would step up in such a situation, and that there was a Player who could guess his class from a few tiny movents.
Of course, it wasnt just a guess. Hyukjin was looking at Sunghyuns class very clearly.
Class: Child of Wind
For his 1st advancent, he got the Child of Wind class. That wasnt a class na Hyukjin rembered, but it wasnt hard to figure out that it was the 1st class of the future Typhoon.
As he exchanged greetings with Sunghyun, Hyukjin checked the ti.
Almost 2.
Everything was settled with very appropriate timing. The Players Convention would soon begin.
This is where it really begins.
For now, Hyukjin succeeded in bringing Sunghyun to his side, though it was hard to call him 100% an ally. But anyway, the first step was successfully taken. In the event that would happen today, Jo Sunghyun could essentially be called a key person, and Hyukjin managed to make positive contact with that key person. It was all within his plan.
Would you like to co up with us? The convention is in the 12th floors main hall.
Thank you.
We got onto the elevator.
1F, 2F, 3F
The elevator moved quickly.
Arriving on the 12th floor.
The elevator doors are opening.
The ti right now
Hyukjin glanced at the clock on his phone.
Its 2:03.
He took a step forward.
The notice is coming.
If things went the sa as he rembered, there would definitely be one.
[Entering the Flash Gate, Hill of Blowing Wind.]
This was the place the Typhoon later said was responsible for his awakening. I stepped into the site of the 1st Players Convention, as well as the flash gate Hill of Blowing Wind.
Well probably get a quest.
During the 1st Players Convention, at least half of the participants died. Right here.
If I can save them I will.
Hyukjin thought back to the Tutorial Field, the convenience store safe zone. He could still vividly see the countless people who had died in front of him, separated by glass. If possible, he wanted to minimize the damage. As much as he could.
While also awakening Jo Sunghyun.
And along with those two goals, he would also obtain that.
I have to get it without fail.
In no ti at all, the field changed, and he began to see countless people on the new field.
Lets do this.
