Steel Eating Player - A Player Who Eats Steel

-New skills are given by meeting special conditions.

Lee Hyun-wook saw the message and stood up. My whole body is wet with cold sweat. That's because he has been sleeping for decades with "body furnaces " operating at maximum levels.

He checked the details of the skill he had just obtained.

[Skills information]

-Name: Insight Lens

-Class: D

– affects

1) System Analysis: You can analyze 'hidden system information '.

2) Cheonlian (二里龙): Your eyesight is increasing rapidly. (+300%)

* When hidden conditions are met, the skill level is increased.

Because he had this skill in his previous life, Lee Hyun-wook knew his function very well.

'This is the best utility skill I had in my previous life. '

Utility skills, i.e. non-combat element skills, mean classes with very broad application.

Lee Hyun-wook slowly lifted his body.

" ... Talos, how many hours have I been lying down? "

"It's been 28 hours 48 minutes since you started the assignment."

"28 hours ... ... ."

Lee Hyun-wook looked at Talos, a ball-shaped mechanical device that descended from the ceiling.

Then, several system messages appear in front of him.

-Talos: Non-combat Mode (LV.130)

* This NPC is friendly to you.

NPC names, levels and character are not easy to know.

〈Insight Lens〉 is the ability to see basic information of monsters —NPC in this way.

'By the way, Talos level is 130 ... ... This is much higher than I thought, right? '

"This level " is not an absolute measure of strength, but is the most common criterion.

In this case, Talos who are at level 130 can be seen as a very strong team.

Remembering the King Stonox Orc is between level 175 and dragon level between 180 and 200.

'Of course, of course, it is not possible to exert that much power because it does not have a bronze giant. '

If one day I could activate that person's "battle mode ", it would be a great weapon.

At that moment, the door to the Tower of Order opened and Park Jun-mo entered.

But her hair is a bit curly.

"Ah! Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, are you awake? "

"Park Joon-mo, how are you? Good lick? "

"Ah...yes... they hit me more than I thought. "

There is a bit of hatred in his voice.

Furthermore, he said that when Lee Hyun-wook fell asleep, he got 11 lightning strikes.

As such, he experienced a leap forward up to five times the statistics.

"Okay? Very good. Then I have to come here whenever I have time. "

" ..."

At that time, something was detected in Lee Hyun-wook's eyes.

-You can't 'interpret ' these items.

The location is near Park Joon-mo's waist dance in the form of a black stick.

Like this, although 'player profile ' cannot be verified, 'item information ' can be seen.

'I interpreted it.'

- Interpret item information ....

So, after a while ...

[Item information]

-Name: Dark Wood Stick (rare)

-Effect: Total Mana (+100), Magic Casting Speed (+10%)

Like this, opponent item information can also be found without touching it.

' ... ... Most important, this will be very helpful in protecting my body. '

Being able to know the function of the opposing item just by looking at it —ini is valuable information that allows us to predict to some extent what the potential enemy is trying to do in front of us.

Therefore, it was Lee Hyun-wook's secret protection system that was able to prevent various assassination attempts.

" ... ... But where is Team Leader Kim? "

"Oh, if you're not here, it looks like you're in an unreal training ground. "

When Lee Hyun-wook fell asleep, Kim Se-hee also seemed to practice without rest.

'Kim Se-hee ... Talent is still a talent, but it is hard work. If there is an environment, it will grow by itself. '

Lee Hyun-wook drank the cold water that Park Jun-mo brought, then approached the window.

Seeing the world from the top of Laputa, this is the best view that will not envy any hotel.

Then, a vibration was heard in his arm.

-Mana messenger (encryption model): Accept ... ...

Which messenger is in a one-to-one connection with which other messenger shares the password.

The subject, of course, is Santo, Emilia Müller.

Wow, I finally got it! Why aren't you contacted like this? You think you were killed before me!

It was the sound whose tongue curved in all directions. Besides, it seems like I can't stop drinking.

"You will not prepare a secure contact network for drinking and calling? "

-This is Won, you misunderstood? I contact you at the business level.

"Is that so? What is wrong? "

The people from the hextech side I talked about last time, I saved. There are about 9 people.

When Lee Hyun-wook asked, he was looking for researchers in the hexech field, and it seemed like he had finally found it.

Of course, Lee Hyun-wook will meet and judge whether they can be trusted.

"Well, very good. I have just looked around where they will work in the future. "

– Yes? Um— No way, Laputa ...?

Because I knew Laputa manager Lee Hyun-wook, I immediately realized it.

"Right. Yesterday, or yesterday, I appeared for the first time. "

– Wow ... ... I definitely want to leave someday. This is a safe place and also here, right? Right?

"Yes, if not now, you might be able to visit someday."

On the one hand, Lee Hyun-wook thinks that "Saint Dome" itself can be moved here Laputa.

'If Saints come to Laputa, not Saint Dome in the Republic of Chad ... ... That would be an extraordinary advantage. '

Of course, if that happens, the Republic of Chad will be upset. Because one of the elements that made land valuable was taken, political strife was inevitable.

In other words, this is not a matter of hasty decisions.

'But someday I will make it like that. This country will eventually become the last bastion of humanity ... ... '

I am thinking of gathering all the power that can respond to this criminal in Laputa.

Two hours later, the group was ready to go to the field.

「(^_^) If you go down to the 49th underground floor, you can use a large area drop device! 」

Laputa uses the entire large city "Seoul" as "its territory". Therefore, by using "wide descent devices ", one of Laputa's practical functions, "teleportation" can be moved anywhere in Seoul.

The group took a high-speed elevator to the B49 floor, the lower end of Laputa.

The whole floor is completely empty, without objects or walls.

"Okay, then I will activate a wide area descent device! "

Ooh ooh ooh—

Then, the entire floor of the 49th floor became transparent and a glimpse of Seoul was seen.

A large magic circle is created at the bottom of the middle and begins to emit sapphire light.

Wide descent device: Sets teleportation coordinates.

In this way, Laputa can quickly travel to any area in Seoul via teleportation.

Lee Hyun-wook chose a quiet place outside Seoul, and immediately fell by teleporting there.

"Now — of course, this is a secret to where we are. "

"Well, by the way ... Are you trying to hide that you are Laputa's manager? "

Lee Hyun-wook shook his head to hear Kim Se-hee's question.

"No, it will be revealed soon. "

At least, this fact needs to be revealed to Woo Sung-moon.

'That is why we bear all the resources needed to pioneer Laputa.'

But before that, there is one thing to do.

"After that, team leader Kim said he was working today, right? "

"Yes, I would like to introduce my motives to the Hope Guild."

AMT classmate Kim Se-hee decided to join the Hope Guild.

Because he is the one who has led as a team leader, he will be a key force when the "attacking team " Alliance of Hope is formed in the future.

"If so, then team leader Kim will check the work, and Park Joon-mo, you have a place to go with me. "

"Yes? No, this time, where else ...."

Park Joon-mo couldn't hide his shaking expression in the end.

Lee Hyun-wook raised his head.

"Today, I will look for an employee to manage Laputa."

" ... Yes? "

"You can't let that great thing go on and on, right? "

It takes a lot of labor to operate such a large facility.

And at this time, many talents and potential items are buried in the shadows.

Lee Hyun-wook thought of removing it earlier and putting it in the sky.

***

The Metropolitan City of Incheon has long been dubbed "Maggye".

Since ancient times, violence has often occurred, so it is considered half joking.

But now the childish nickname has come true.

"Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee ... Who is the power you are looking for in the demon world? "

With an anxious expression, Park Joon-mo glanced at an alley in Namdong-gu, Incheon-Magye.

"If you are in a place like this ... I think he is a scary person ...."

The center of the gray city was half destroyed, the aisles scattered all kinds of rubbish, the road split like a spider's web and upside down ... ...

And, with weapons such as objects, firearms and knives, they stand in the alley and stare at passersby. The weapons they hold are not at all exhibited and are often used against humans.

In front of a scene like Harlem in a Hollywood movie, Park Joon-mo instinctively fainted.

"And I hear that even the police players are still not approaching this place ...."

Like this, the old city center south of Incheon, which has now turned into a lawless zone.

In the early days the world turned into a game, as many as four gates were opened simultaneously.

However, at that time, because the power to deal with it was insufficient, oppression became difficult. Finally, "blocking line " is installed at the edges and poison recipes are applied to isolate the entire area.

Two years later, several guilds managed to attack ...

'This place has become ruins after experiencing irreparable damage and no one has found it. '

And there are only a few bends in the abandoned area.

Criminal gangs, travelers, red players, and so on began to occupy the place.

That's why this place is a common slum "slum.

"Strangely ... everyone is staring at us. "

"It's OK. This is the original environment. "

Park Joon-mo felt surrounded by the eyes of wild animals in the mountain, but Lee Hyun-wook walked without hesitation.

Then, about 10 minutes later, I stood in front of a building.

〈Other items Baekje〉

It was a five-story mall with that name, but from the outside it looked like an ordinary 'various goods store.

However, it is actually one of the "secret roads " leading to underground secret facilities.

"Wait, wait here."

After Lee Hyun-wook said that, he stood still and began to look sideways at the entrance of the building.

Park Jun-mo was just curious, but as usual, he waited in silence, asking what intentions he would do.

But in fact, Lee Hyun-wook's feelings were already in the building.

-... ... What have you been doing?

To be exact, I listened to the sound inside the building, but I knocked the sound around it with 'which link' to which messenger someone was through the wall.

-Well, I want to get the green Adamant ore.

-Sorry, but there is no such thing.

-Then, I want to be curated for something else.

"Okay, there he is ... ... I'm coming in now. "

"Huh? Yes? Oh, yes! "

Jingle

"welcome."

The mustachioed male employee welcomed him with a bright smile that did not fit into the area.

However, Lee Hyun-wook felt a shotgun under his feet.

Lee Hyun-wook naturally approached the counter.

"Hello, I'm here to buy a green Adamant."

Hearing those words, the smiling employee's face hardened.

"Sorry guests, but there are no green Adamant stones. "

"Oh, I want to see something similar. May I ask for 'curation '?"

"Alright... I will guide you."

Then he turned somewhere, and there was a man in a black hat standing there.

He gestured to follow Lee Hyun-wook.

"Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, what was that just now ...."

"Shhh— don't open your mouth for a while."

All that Hyun-wook Lee had just said was a kind of password, a transitional ritual that he had to go through to get down to the facility hidden here.

Passwords are changed on time every day, so they must be obtained through a secret channel, but Lee Hyun-wook hacks where the messenger is and finds the password through tapping.

Scream

When a man in a black hat opens the door, a ladder leading to the basement appears.

" ... ... When you exit again, use Exit 8 or Elevator 11, not here. "

Lee Hyun-wook nodded and began to descend the narrow stairs.

"Where are you going here? "

"Incheon Magye, this slum is actually just a camouflage membrane."

"Yes? So what is this city hiding? "

"Yes, the real purpose of this place is to have a black market, a black market. "

There is a city that is rundown and cannot be secured, and there is a large underground city hidden behind its fluffes.

And there, a large black market where all kinds of illegal goods are traded is still active.

Beautiful- Beautiful-

As I descended the old stairs about a dozen meters, an iron gate appeared.

Scream

When I opened it, a room like a fairly large tunnel opened.

"Wow ...."

Thousands of people came and went along a dark and faint alley as if they were entering a very large coal mine.

This is a rather busy sight, like a view of the night market in Southeast Asia in the summer.

"Now, buy an energy herb made from Lizardmen tail! "

"You're there —How about taking a swamp psychedelic concoction and leaving? "

And on behalf of the Mayor, enthusiastic calls continue from everywhere.

In front of a strange view, Park Joon-mo looked forward and back with a blank expression.

"Wow ... There is a place like that in our country ...."

When I look around without hesitation, I meet someone.

"Ah, sir- what!"

Two men, a big man with tattoos all over his body, his eyes broken.

At that appearance, Park Joon-mo passed out without realizing it.

"-Ugh! Sorry!

"Geez, my attention is distracted ... I'm sorry!"

Park Joon-mo leaned his head towards the two big men, and hugged behind Lee Hyun-wook who walked in front.

"Junmo Park, it was just a mistake. "

"...Yes?"

"That is, showing such a stupid appearance in a lawless world is a good prey. "

"Uh, alright, then how do you deal with it? "

"Isn't it better to emit an electric current and electrocute it in a rod like that? "

Park Joon-mo slowly turned his head with a trembling expression.

"No, don't look back. Showing impatient expression means a weak person ...."

But it's too late.

"...!"

When I looked back and looked back, I made eye contact with the giant.

"Lee, Lee, Sergeant Lee Hyun-wook ... Those people seem to be following us now. "

Lee Hyun-wook nodded without a word.

'This is Won, this is bothering you. '

After the brief collision, they seemed to recognize both of them as prey.

Lee Hyun-wook went to the crowd and watched the metal weapons they were holding.

2 pistols, 4 daggers, and several ... ...

But among them, there is also 'where messenger'.

Lee Hyun-wook tried to hack 'which connection ' there.

They just got in touch with someone.

-... ... Yes, the two people who went there were right. At first glance, isn't this the first time being fooled?

– Okay? I can't see my face because I'm wearing a mask ... ... Aren't you just messing with something wrong?

– NO. I met us, and I was really little. And when I peeked at that moment, was there a stick or something on my back? It looks like it will be a benefit. Did you do it for a long time?

I know it... ...

Because this is a lawless zone, such tribes are widespread. So, if you cannot protect yourself, you have no choice but to take everything you have, and furthermore, it is not an ordinary place to lose your life.

-Jeong Gyun-ah, the Gatekeeper shouldn't know about doing this side job, so let's take care of it calmly?

-Yes, you don't need to worry about that.

However, in the contents of their correspondence, Lee Hyun-wook thought of the word "gatekeeper " in his mind.

'If you see the mention of a gatekeeper, is it a member of the organization 〈Red Hall〉?'

Red Hall, they are one of the three great powers that dominate this place, an intermediary organization for trade in goods.

'at this rate ... ... This is pretty good.'

The person Lee Hyun-wook is looking for is a member of the Red Hall organization, and he thinks of approaching them and making some kind of transaction.

However, if the situation becomes like this, there is no need for trouble.

Lee Hyun-wook kept walking pretending not to pay attention to his tracks.

"Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, we ... where should we go? "

"Park Junmo, at a glance you don't know? There is no safe place here. "

"Oh, then ... ... ."

Yes, in the end, I had no choice but to subdue it by force.

" ... ... First of all, I keep going. "

This underground city is quite extensive. This is the result of repeated expansion since its birth several decades ago.

Therefore, the winding road continues like the center of the old city, and there are also dark alleys.

Jerk— Jerk—

Lee Hyun-wook deliberately entered an alley where there were rarely people.

Then, as if waiting, three big men appeared from the front and blocked the road.

And behind me, six people approached, filling the narrow alley.

" ..."

In the end, Lee Hyun-wook and Park Jun-mo were forced to stop in the middle of the alley.

"Huh... Hello friends? We've met before right? "

immediately became stupid.

He seemed to have forgotten even the idea of having to take out another weapon in front of an unimaginable sight.

"Yes, as you can see, we are on the first road to this city, but ....."

Lee Hyun-wook approached them and smiled.

"... May I ask the direction? Because we have to go deeper. "

They did not answer, but they had to nod slowly while raising their hands.

Cheolkeuk—Cheolkeuk—

Article, nine shoots of weapons were reassembled in the air and directed to the head.
