Chapter 21: 21

Unholy Farming (4)

“Hey, you bastard! Take this thing off of me! What the hell is this anyway?!”

As soon as Park Dong-Gwon saw me, he shouted as he pulled the silver bracelet hanging around his neck.

“Take it easy. That’s not a big deal. It’s a bracelet that could split your neck in half if I tweaked it slightly… No, wait, since it’s hanging around your neck, should I call it a choker? Anyway, that’s it.”

“What?”

Park Dong-Kwon glared at me with eyes filled with disbelief.

Well, you won’t believe me until you actually experience it.

I put my hand in my pocket and manipulated the jewel.

“Kuaarghh?!”

Park Dong-gwon’s body tilted sharply and he fell to the floor.

Looking down at the croaking Dong-Kwon, I explained.

“This is about 200 kg. If you were a normal person, you would have died, but since you’re a player you’ll be fine.”

“Ackk, kuck…!”

Park Dong-Gwon scratched the floor with a face filled with pain.

I looked at him indifferently, then manipulated the jewel again and returned its weight to its original state.

“Aah! Ahak, huck, ahuck. This, this is going too far!”

Dong-Kwon pulled the choker sticking to his neck with his fingers as hard as he could, but the choker didn’t move at all.

“It won’t break even if you do that for a hundred days.”

Because it’s a DLC-only item.

“What the fuck!”

Dong-Kwon struggled for about 5 minutes and eventually gave up, swearing.

“What the hell did I do wrong to make you treat me like this?!”

He asked with a violated expression.

Is this guy serious?

I felt anew that he was a guy with different values from ordinary people.

“Are you seriously asking that? In the first quest, you were going to kill everyone after gathering them up in the auditorium.”

“….!!”

“And you betrayed them again this time too. Did you think I wouldn’t know? Minah was watching you right beside you.”

Minah transformed into the man guarding Dong-Kwon’s cell and she stayed with him for several days.

She agreed with Dong-Gwon’s suggestion and took on the role of helping him to make things flow as he wanted.

“Yeah, but they all failed!”

“Yes, it all failed because of me. Otherwise, everything would have been successful.”

This guy has already done it twice.

To be honest, killing him would be better, but I didn’t want to do that.

That sentence is too light.

I wanted to take advantage of Dong-Kwon as long as I could and make him continue to live and suffer.

“That chocker is your primary restraint. It’s just a physical restraint. And another one.”

I took a small piece of paper out of my pocket.

This is an [Absolute Contract].

There are lots of special contracts purchased from the DLC shop.

I thought using this contract could make him into a very wholesome and altruistic person.

“It is a mental restraint. If you sign this contract, you will never be able to violate the terms.”

“What…?”

Dong Kwon’s eyes trembled.

Then he quickly skimmed through the contents of the contract.

The contents of the contract were quite long, but it was understandable by reading the first line.

“Eul must become an altruistic, solid, and sincere person from now on.”

Eul is, of course, Park Dong-Kwon.

If he ever harms someone or does something that could cause damage, he will break this contract.

“If that happens, the choker will choke you, and you will be writhing in terrible pain for two days. Eventually, your head will explode and you will die.”

“What…?”

Due to Dong Kwon’s inclination, it is like a contract where all hands and feet are tied.

Still, if you look at the bottom of the contract, there is a phrase that says, ‘It doesn’t matter if you break the contract as long as it is allowed by A.’

Of course, A is me.

“Signing a contract like this? Do you think I’m a pushov-…?!”

“Then should I just kill you?”

Thud.

Before Dong-Gwon could finish his words, Ji-soo, tapping the floor with a mace wet with blood and flesh asked.

Every time she swung her mace, pieces of flesh flew, it was a scene that even made me flinch.

When I looked at Minah, she was already far away from Ji-soo.

“N-no, you have to give me a pen. If you just show me the paper, how am I supposed to sign?”

Dong Kwon’s expression, which was twisted, became servile at once.

He couldn’t even make eye contact with Jisoo.

‘Things went easier, but I’m uncomfortable with it.’

It’s like he gave in to Jisoo, not me… Well, it doesn’t matter.

“I-I signed it, now what?”

“Hmm? Oh, you can go now. After all, I will always know where you are now.”

“Ah, yes.”

Dong Kwon’s attitude became polite at once.

This is because there is a phrase in the contract to obey unconditionally in the words of ‘A’.

Dong-Kwon slowly walked out of the dressing room with a terrified face.

“So, can we go now?”

“Yes, let’s go. I’m done with my business.”

There is no need for Dong-Kwon right now.

Wherever I am, I will always know what he’s doing, and he probably won’t be able to do something stupid like this through the contract.

He probably has two choices.

Staying next to Hyun-Kyun and walking around or acting separately from here.

If it wasn’t for the contract, he would have chosen the latter, but now that things have turned out like this, I wonder if he’ll go with Hyun-Kyun.

I lightly shouted at Dong-Kwon, who opened the door and walked out, while looking at me.

“Hey.”

“Yes?!”

“See you soon. Live well until then.”

“Ah, okay.”

His tone was extremely obedient, but his expression was rotten.

Well what can he do

If he attacks, he’ll just die.

“By the way.”

After Dong-Kwon disappeared, Ji-soo, who had been silent, opened her mouth.

“Is it really okay to just send him away just like that?”

“Well. It doesn’t really matter.”

Contracts purchased from the DLC store are absolute.

If he tries to do anything, I could physically stop him at any time.

Dong-Kwon is trash, but he’s capable, so he’ll become stronger on his own.

Then I can use him later.

“Okay, we should move slowly. Jisoo What grade did you get this time?”

“I got a gold grade.”

As expected, her rating was high.

It was probably because she was treated as a ‘party member’ and to some extent, my achievements were applied to Jisoo as well.

In addition, the more points I earned, the more points she could receive, so it was clear that the points she currently accumulated would be significant.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Me? I have some places I need to go. You?”

“I have a place to go for a while.”

“Separately?”

“Yes.”

Jisoo was a valuable force, so I thought about going with her but decided against it after seeing her expression.

It seems that she probably has something to deal with alone.

“Then there is nothing I can do. We’re in a party anyway, so I can know where you are at any time. Can you see where I am?”

“Yes. I already learned the party-related system. I’ll be right back when I’m done with my business.”

“Yes, take your time.”

Party members could know each other’s location.

“Lee Min-ah.”

“Yes?”

When I turned my gaze and spoke to Minah, who was far away, her eyes rounded.

“As promised, I will give you a reward, so come here.”

“Oh really?”

As if Mina had been waiting for it, she came running.

“First, I have something to give you.”

“What? You know what’ll happen if it’s not much, right?”

“Don’t be too surprised when you see it.”

I handed her a small ring.

“A ring?”

“Right.”

“….I’m still underaged no matter how attractive I am, that’s it.”

What the hell was she thinking, she was thinking of something completely different.

“This ring is a reward. It’s an item, so check it properly.”

“Oh, what is it?”

Minah took the ring and carefully checked the item.

==
Ring of Secrecy (B)
Can completely hide you for a maximum of one hour, twice a day.
==

Its abilities are extremely simple.

However, it is a grade B item.

It was as good as it was simple.

It can be used for survival and considering Minah’s ability, it will be the best tool to invade any place.

‘Well, since it’s a platinum-grade reward, it’s bound to be good.’

It was a piece of equipment that I coveted quite a bit, but I gave it as an investment because it was more suitable for Minah than me.

In the first place, the Basilisk would not have been killed without Minah’s help.

‘In addition, I received an additional skill reward.’

The additional reward, the skill, was far greater than that B-class equipment.

“Wow, wow! This is class B equipment! Can I really take this? No takebacks, okay?!”

“It’s a reward for helping me this time. Do you think I would do something like that?”

“…you might.”

“Ahem.”

To be honest, I did that a few times in my past round.

But unless I’m a bad guy, I won’t do the lowest of things.

“Then I can have this? Are you really going to give it?”

“Yes, yes.”

Looking at Minah wearing her ring, which she accepted with a happy face, I felt a strange gaze from her side.

“what’s the matter?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Jisoo’s expression was strangely sad.

No actually, her face is not that different from usual.

Oh, maybe it’s because I only rewarded Minah when she helped me in the same way.

“I’ll give you something, Jisoo the next time we meet. I think I can find you something good by then.”

“Yes? Oh, it’s…alright.”

She had a face that said she was looking forward to seeing it.

When did she become so timid?

“Huh, now that we’ve finished the calculations, let’s move on. It’s not good to stay still.”

The observers flying around from earlier had been quite annoying.

“By the way, you said you had a place to go somewhere else, where exactly is that?”

“Oh, that? just…”

I smiled and said to Jisoo, who was obviously curious.

“I’m going to do some farming.”

Proper farming is necessary to enjoy this game.

“But why are you following me?”

“Hmm? Is there a reason I shouldn’t?”

After separating from Jisoo, I moved to a place I had thought of beforehand.

Of course, I thought I would be going alone, but unexpectedly, Minah was following close to me.

“It’s not okay….”

To be honest, the observer chasing her was more annoying than Minah.

‘Haaa, whatever. It doesn’t matter if the number of observers increases by one more anyway.’

After the second quest, the number of Observers following me increased exponentially.

It’s why it’s only natural since I killed the Sentinel and did such a remarkable job.

I’m not even an ‘avatar’ yet, so there are bound to be so many observers.

“But why did you follow me?”

“Oppa looked pretty good.”

“What.”

“Since you seem pretty skilled. I’m going to ride your coattail while following you around.”

Minah said with a smile.

Indeed, she is the Lee Minah I know.

Since she is sensitive to profit, she must have realized that being next to me would benefit her.

It’s similar to Jisoo, but Jisoo is a just bit more timid.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

Minah is a valuable asset.

Anyway, since the sponsoring god is God, there are few players with as much potential as Minah.

Looking back, there was nothing wrong with building a good relationship.

That’s why I gave her B-grade equipment.

“Of course, I’m not just chasing after you. If you need anything, I will help you properly.”

“That’s natural.”

“What?”

“Wait for a second.”

Before Minah could open her mouth, I covered her mouth.

Two men appeared in front of me.

“Who are you? This is a dungeon we are raiding. Get out of here!”

A man shouted, holding out a sharp knife.

At the word dungeon, Minah’s eyes twinkled, but I chose to ignore it.

“Ah, yes. Okay. Let’s go back.”

“Good choice.”

As if he was satisfied with my answer, the man didn’t do anything special until we were gone.

“I heard there was a dungeon, but are you just going to back off?”

Minah grumbled as if she didn’t like how I quietly backed off.

“No. Now that we know the dungeon’s approximate location, let’s go in.”

“Oh really? Okay. But it looks like it’s not just one or two people clearing the dungeon?”

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s about time people form groups.”

After a while, there will be ‘guilds’.

Because in times of crisis, people will try to unite.

“Then how do we get in? Do I have to taunt something again?”

“You don’t have to. There’s no law saying that the entrance is only there, right?”

“Ah, then did you find another entrance?”

“No.”

As I answered firmly, Minah’s face immediately turned into disappointment.

“What’s the point then? Do you think they haven’t found the other entrance if there is another one?”

Minah’s words were right.

Now, there was no way to find the entrance to a new dungeon.

So, isn’t the answer simple?

“If there is no entrance, we can make one.”

“??”

After all, nothing is impossible with DLC-only items in the game.
