Chapter 538: Hidden Piece (5)

Chapter 538: Hidden Piece (5)

‘What is that?’

The situation was so ridiculous that I had simply been left speechless.

I expected to fight against an unimaginable being or solve an impossible puzzle, but I began to lose steam due to such an easy mission.

Still, the guild members generally looked pretty happy.

Especially Han Sora, who was sensitive to dangerous situations, let out a big breath of relief and smiled.

Who didn’t like free things? There might be a sense of pleasure that one could gain by receiving the right compensation for their work, but there was nothing sweeter than receiving prizes for something they didn’t even do.

‘This is definitely sweet.’

It was a situation that I liked better than anything else.

“That is… good to hear.”

It seemed that our lovely regressor didn’t expect that at all. Kim Hyunsung’s face filled with surprise as well as a bit of suspicion.

Of course, I understood how he felt. Who could believe that they could get items without any strings attached?

He probably thought there was a trap somewhere. However, the system never lied.

If the system told someone to go out with a prize, all they had to do was do that without questioning it.

‘We really can think of this as a hidden piece.’

It was right to say that some transcendent beings had arranged a few secrets places for the continent and that the Blue Guild reached one of them.

I began to feel some doubt that the first timeline regressor hadn’t found the Mirror Lake’s hidden piece just yet.

“So, we can just fish now? And that will really be the end of it?”

“Yes, until something else happens, I think we can continue the quest. We can take turns guarding or protecting the place from unforeseen circumstances. If we do that…”

“The system never lies.”

“Even if that’s the case…”

“There are a lot of things that make me nervous about just fishing here. Hyunsung has a point. Anyways, let’s move. I don’t know how much time we have left, but it would be advantageous to catch as many items as possible.”

“Yes, Vice Guild Master.”

“As Deokgu said, if the god Hee-young saw outside this realm proves to be a threat to the continent, then all the more reason to do that. Of course, nothing is certain yet, but there’s nothing to lose if we prepare for unforeseen circumstances in advance.”

“I’m not sure why, but that’s just what I feel. No matter how much I think about it, it’s just a coincidence that we are here.”

‘You are the most suspicious, you bastard.’

I didn’t know how we got to where we currently were, but I knew what had to be done.

‘I have to get the most valuable item there is.’

While I was at it, it would only be logical to get the best item I could possibly get.

Items of Semi-Mythic grade or Legendary grade weren’t what I had in mind. Rather, I thought of choosing the most useful item after catching as many mythic-grade items as possible.

Except for growth-type items and all items that had ambiguous uses, we could already think about choosing what we should get and who to give it to.

It was a bit heartbreaking to say but choosing a mythical armor or shield for Park Deokgu was the dumbest choice that one could make.

It would be like putting a pearl necklace on a pig; it was best to maximize the items’ use by giving them to the right people.

The only ones who were fit to have at least a semi-mythical item were someone like Jung Hayan and Kim Hyunsung.

I could even think about Cha Hee-ra, who wasn’t with us at that moment. If there was a kind of armor that could strengthen her by invalidating her penalty, I should take it right away.

Giving an item to Elena, who was very versatile, wasn’t a bad option either. There wasn’t another person who had more influence over our battles than her.

‘I wonder if buff-type items are okay too…?’

However, it was a bit disappointing that there seemed to be none for me. Items that classes like the Plaguelord of Darkness or Alchemist of Light could use were very limited.

I probably couldn’t even take a rock in peace.

When a battle erupted, the roles that I could fulfill were very limited. I thought of many possible, happy scenarios as I looked around my surroundings, noticing that everyone seemed eager to start fishing.

There were many fishing rods in the boat, allowing everyone to get one each.

“These are fishing rods that I brought for salmon fishing. They could be used like this! You know, I used to be called the fishing king of Gangwon-do, Park Deokgu. I don’t know what will come out from these waters but trust me. I’m going to catch an item that I’ve never seen before.”

‘That bastard isn’t even sorry anymore.’

He was actually in high spirits already.

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it properly since it’s my first time, but… will the item bite onto the strings or something?

“They will probably do something like that. Cho Hyejin, why are you curious about something like that?’

“Should I at least prepare the meals or something? Now that I think about it, I think we didn’t eat anything after the mirror salmon…”

“I’ll stand on guard, Vice Guild Master.”

It was as I expected of Chang-ryul. He was definitely one I could trust. The slightly depressed and quiet atmosphere changed in a moment. Even our predicament seemed like a part of the vacation by then.

Park Deokgu handed a large fishing rod to me, and I handed it to Kim Hyunsung. Kim Hyunsung accepted the equipment with an awkward look on his face.

I couldn’t help myself from asking him.

“Have you ever fished before?”

“No, it’s my first time. Truthfully, I don’t really know how…maybe it will just be better for me to be in support.”

“No, you don’t have to do that. Chang-ryul is already watching from the top. And well, you don’t really need the experience to fish here. You’ll catch something if you throw the rod.”

“Is that so?”

“There’s probably a lot of stuff floating underneath this abandoned sea of dimensions. You just have to pray that something will get caught in your needle by chance, so you don’t have to grind or beat the bait. You don’t have to feel so pressured. Just think that you’re out to play and enjoy.”

“Then…”

With a flicking sound, I heard a splash in the waters.

Kim Hyunsung couldn’t look more awkward with such a serious look on his face. It was so different when he held a sword.

He seemed to glance at the fishing king, Park Deokgu, for guidance, thinking that he had to follow Deokgu’s posture, but it wasn’t like that would help.

In the meantime, Ahn Ki-mo still had seasickness and continued to vomit.

Jung Hayan was still happy to be by my side, and it was at that moment when everything started to feel more enjoyable.

“I got a bite!”

I heard a loud sound from the back.

“I got a bite! It looks like a tough guy came! Something huge! Huge! I am sure it’s something huge!”

Park Deokgu was fighting to get an item with an over-the-top reaction. With his screams loud enough to blow away a whole village, he looked like he was really enjoying the situation.

He was only retrieving an item, but he was versing his strength as if he was really fighting a fish.

“I’m really not doing this on purpose. The other side seems to be really using some strength. Ah, it’s a really tough guy.”

“Ah, Ah, it seems like the item doesn’t want to come up.”

Jung Hayan smiled at the unfunny joke and craned forward. She leaned so much that Kim Hyunsung had to block her from falling into the water.

‘What is that shit?’

I realized that Park Deokgu wasn’t overreacting soon enough.

After straightening my rod, I bent my back as much as possible as my hands began to tremble due to the vibrations I felt.

‘What? What is it?’

“Something must have come up for you too, hyung-nim! Urgh…”

‘Don’t talk, you little shit. I don’t have time to talk.’

I was pulling the item while even pouring magic onto me, but it didn’t get up as if it was really resisting.

It soon began to feel as if it was actually struggling. It was almost enjoyable, and I couldn’t wait to see what would come up.

The vibrations on my hand seemed to tell me that it was at least a Semi-Mythic grade item.

‘I can see why people fish now… Wow.’

It was exactly as I had said.

I kept turning the handles, but the item didn’t seem like it was planning to get out. In the meantime, Park Deokgu seemed to have caught something quite good because he shouted.

“It’s a Semi-Mythic grade! Hyung-nim! This is a Semi-Myth grade!”

I wanted to take a look at it, but I couldn’t. I had to fight whatever I was fighting.

I didn’t know how much time passed. In what felt like 15 minutes that passed by, I heard countless, ‘I got a bite!’ from others around me, but I couldn’t focus on them.

Elena and Sun Hee-young alternated between giving me a buff, and even Jung Hayan cast a light muscle strengthening magic. And, just as I thought of releasing the rod and giving up…

The handles that had been vibrating like mad became calm again, and I no longer felt my guy resisting.

I quickly lay on my back and turned the handles, allowing me to observe an ominous red light.

[Spear of Longinus – Mythic Grade]

[It is a mythical level spear said to have pierced a god’s sides.]

It wasn’t known exactly where the item had come from, and only the blurry traces stored in the description told me what kind of weapon the spear was.

[This spear can’t be blocked. There is no special function besides that.]

‘Shiiiit…’

“Oppa! Oppa!! Oppaa!!! Mythic-level! Mythic-level!!”

“Kiyoung-ssi! Kiyoung-ssi!”

Kim Hyunsung and Jung Hayan jumped up and down beside me.

“What! What is that?! Hyung-nim, how did you?!!”

‘This is my catch.’

I was a bit proud of myself. I felt like I had become even snobbier.

“This is not what we should be doing. Let’s take a proof shot. Wow…I could only catch a Semi-Mythic grade shield, but you got a Mythic Grade item on your first bite. Wow! As expected of hyung-nim!

I was a bit taken back, but my smile grew bigger as I read the description box.

‘This spear can’t be blocked.’

That was enough. No other functions of explanation were needed. Shield or even special barrier fields or magic circles couldn’t block the spear.

It could be used to fight an Outer god if the situation called for it.

‘Yes, shit! It should be like this!’

Was there any other function that could be better than that?

“Wow… what an item… Can’t you just take this? It says that no defense can stop it. How crazy is that? Even if you just use this…”

“Well, this is just the beginning. Let me work this out a bit more.”

‘And how I could I take this? The only person who uses a spear here is Cho Hyejin.’

Of course, it wasn’t bad for Cho Hyejin to use a Mythic grade spear, but it was too much considering her skills.

It was a good option to take one more item, but not if I could only take one item.

‘But if nothing better comes up, I guess I will take this…’

I could only think that the next items would also be good since the beginning was that good.

Of course, I began to hear cheers from everywhere.

Not only did a Mythic grade item appear, but Semi-Mythic level items began to be pulled out mechanically.

It had reached a point where people began to throw back Legendary items. It was a hard sight to get used to since it was like they were letting a tiny fish go.

“Ah, Legendary again. I also want to catch something huge.”

Kim Ye-ri, who had screamed in delight at her first catch, seemed to have gotten used to it already. She threw her catch back into the water.

The atmosphere had been extremely heightened.

“Wow… It was an unbelievable feeling in my hand! My hand was shaking like crazy!”

“It’s fun. I think it’s more fun than fishing for fishes.”

“Another one came! I-it came for mine! Oppa!”

Everyone was noisy Everyone was also happy except for the silent Kim Hyunsung, who hadn’t caught a single item.

It had been six hours since our guest had started, and the rod of our lovely regressor had never shaken once.

“Awww…”

Kim Hyunsung’s eyes, which had once looked peaceful, now started to look a bit nervous.

‘Hyunsung…’
