Chapter 142: Distortion (5)
Unclaid achievent reward.
Referring to the just achieved “Golden Journey.”
As Yeongwoo opened the achievent window, the completion record was imdiately displayed.
Acquired!
[Achievent Attained: Golden Journey]
| Achievent Grade: Legendary
| Achievent Rank: First
「Summon golden rain in dostic and foreign areas.」
Simultaneously, all stats increased by 100 each.
「Idealist」 – Epic Ring
[All stats increase by 100 per achievent possessed]
Finally completed the Golden Journey perfectly.
‘Ah… Finally.’
Each achievent in the Golden Journey felt like crossing a huge mountain.
Of course, the rewards were overwhelmingly better than other achievents each ti.
‘So, this ti’s reward…’
As Yeongwoo read through the completion record of the Golden Journey, the achievent reward was automatically received.
Ping!
「Golden Trail」 – Legendary two-handed greatsword
【Auto Combat】
【Cumulative golden ratio: 10】
*Special bonus for ‘Golden Journey.’
‘A two-handed sword…?’
Yeongwoo’s eyes widened in awe as a giant golden silhouette appeared above his head.
Swoosh…
But currently, Yeongwoo was atop Negwig, rapidly heading south.
“Wait a mont!”
Concerned that the newly acquired sword would fall to the ground, Yeongwoo imdiately tried to stop Negwig.
“Huh…?”
Contrary to expectations, the golden silhouette did not continue to follow Yeongwoo at Negwig’s speed.
“What, what’s going on?”
Surprised, Yeongwoo eventually pulled on Negwig’s reins out of shock.
Clang!
– Whinny!
Then Negwig abruptly stopped, and the problematic silhouette of the golden trail, as its na suggested, also ca to a smooth halt, fluttering in the air behind Yeongwoo.
Swoosh-
“…Unbelievable. It’s not just a sword.”
Finally seeing the full form of the “Golden Trail,” Yeongwoo couldn’t help but marvel.
With a total length of 2 ters, a blade length of 1.5 ters, and a blade width of 40 centiters, this colossal weapon resembled a large mirror and seed to float in the air as if alive.
-Hum…
As if a small motor were embedded, vibrations continued to emanate from the Golden Trail.
‘So… is this what they an by a sword crying?’
Yeongwoo thought half-jokingly, cautiously reaching his right hand towards the large handle of the golden trail.
Being the rightful owner of this sword, he felt he should at least try grabbing it, regardless of whether it flew around on its own or not.
Tap.
Eventually, as Yeongwoo grasped the handle of the golden trail, an unexpected ssage appeared.
「The current sword skill slot is empty.」
“Huh?”
「Would you like to register a new sword skill?」
“What in the world…?”
With a puzzled expression, Yeongwoo suddenly realized.
“Auto Combat?”
「Golden Trail」 – Legendary two-handed greatsword
【Auto Combat】
What did this tooltip of the massive weapon signify?
“Could it really be true auto combat? It becos automatic?”
The characteristic of hovering around the owner without any manipulation, and the prompt for “sword skill registration” upon direct contact with the sword—all of this ant only one thing.
‘It’s not that grabbing this sword makes combat automatic, but exactly as written in the tooltip…’
-Humming.
That colossal sword engaged in automatic combat.
Even more astonishingly…
‘Using the sword skills I’ve registered for automatic combat…?’
This was an equipnt at an overwhelmingly overbalanced level that no one would dispute.
「Would you like to register a new sword skill?」
The ssage asking about registering a new sword skill still hovered in front of Yeongwoo.
“Y-yes, register.”
As Yeongwoo approved the registration, the available martial arts that “Golden Trail” could use were selected from his current repertoire.
||Joseon Swordsmanship – Legendary Grade
|Rohm’s Bottom – Legendary Grade
|Gyeongbuk’s Sword Law – Unique Grade
…
…
|Gumi Swordsmanship – Relic Grade
And surprisingly, all martial arts, including Rohm’s Bottom, could be registered.
‘I thought Rohm’s Bottom was too close to martial arts to be usable.’
How would the automatic combat of a 2-ter-long sword flying in the sky work?
Moreover, if that greatsword were to use martial arts used by prisoners from another realm…
Gulp.
After swallowing hard once, Yeongwoo registered the legendary martial art “Rohm’s Bottom” to the golden trail.
Acquired!
Then, it was visible on the equipnt tooltip that the currently used martial art was promptly indicated.
「Golden Trail」 – Legendary two-handed greatsword
【Auto Combat】
|Rohm’s Bottom
【Cumulative golden ratio: 10】
*Special bonus for “Golden Journey.”
‘Oh… it’s recognized imdiately,’ Yeongwoo muttered to himself.
However, since there was no imdiate opponent to test against, there was no way to know how the greatsword would interpret and use Rohm’s Bottom.
‘It’s hard to imagine.’
Even if it’s a greatsword, it couldn’t possibly engage in boxing or wrestling.
Clang, clunk!
anwhile, Negwig continued its descent, and by this ti, Yeongwoo had turned Negwig’s direction eastward.
It was to check if there were any mutants still alive in the Yeoncheon or Cheorwon area.
Now that he could store the golden sphere, it would be safer to secure it before nightfall.
‘Let’s sweep through Gyeonggi Province and then return to Paju to et the rchants.’
By now, there would likely be rchants coming down to Gangnam and Gwangjin-gu areas.
Although Gwangjin-gu was unknown, Gangnam was a region with an owner, so no one would have touched the rchants, probably Paju too.
‘Paju should be the sa. Everyone dispersed.’
*Available Karma: 8,694,000
With current cash holdings totaling 8.69 million Karma, there was no shortage of money.
In unavoidable situations, he could also duplicate a card containing 7 million Karma.
「Blank check」 – Unique Currency
【Once, it changes into the touched currency.】
[Translator – Night]
[Proofreader – Gun]
‘Of course, it would be too wasteful to just burn 7 million Karma. I should save a lot more if possible.’
Anyway, except for the nightti dungeon tickets, everything had almost reached perfection.
Clang!
Continuing to steer Negwig eastward, Yeongwoo turned his gaze to the last notification he hadn’t checked yet.
「The recomnded achievent list has been updated.」
With the completion of the achievent “Golden Journey,” there would probably be new entries in the recomnded achievent list.
‘The probability of the next stage achievent related to the golden ratio series is high.’
And even if he didn’t know, there would be another achievent in the place where “Nocturnal” used to be.
“Check achievents.”
As Yeongwoo opened the achievent window, two existing achievents appeared first in order.
Pop, pop!
[Complete Orphan]
|Find and eliminate parents. (1/2)
[Ending Maker]
|Discover the protagonist after the reset.
‘Still the sa.’
Two stubborn stumbling blocks that he still couldn’t figure out how to complete.
Instead, the newly appeared achievent below was relatively straightforward.
Of course, that didn’t an it was easy.
This ti, it wasn’t just a matter of going out to dostic or foreign areas and summoning golden rain.
[Golden Storm]
|Summon golden rain in the following four ways. (0/4)
-When there are seven or more mutants nearby.
-In the North Arican continent.
-When two entities with the attributes of #chaebol and #dragon race are fighting each other.
-At the mont when an entity with the attribute of #national enemy dies.
-When a second-grade or higher otherworldly entity visits.
‘Those crazy bast*rds.’
Yeongwoo was generally the one hearing such words directed at him, but this ti, a curse slipped out of his own mouth first.
‘Don’t these guys know when to stop?’
This was practically at the level of not even considering the achievent completion.
However…
‘…But strictly speaking, it’s not entirely impossible.’
The system’s officially acknowledged stubbornness subtly raised its head.
‘Four sightings are required to fulfill the conditions, right? So, at least two are possible for now.’
-When there are seven or more mutants nearby.
-At the mont when an entity with the attribute of #national enemy dies.
Amazingly, Yeongwoo had the ability to summon three mutants, so by gathering four mutants on the battlefield, he could achieve the condition of “seven or more mutants nearby.”
‘I could just recruit more friends. So, breaking that condition is just a matter of ti.’
The case was the sa for an entity with the attribute of #national enemy.
Due to Yeongwoo’s starting point being the Korean Peninsula, he had a national enemy right next to him, without any guilt even if he were to cut their throat and kill them.
That was none other than…
‘…Kim Jong-un.’
With the quest for Dogo’s assassination in hand, there was no reason not to try it.
‘As soon as Kim Jong-un dies, I just have to spread the golden rain. It’s like a congratulatory performance.’
Regardless of the intention, two out of four achievents were quite achievable with a fairly high probability.
‘Now, the remaining two are the problem…’
– In the North Arican continent.
– When two entities with the attributes of #chaebol and #dragon race are fighting each other.
– When a second-grade or higher otherworldly entity visits.
Two out of these three thods must be perford.
‘If they’re chaebols and dragon race at the sa ti… we might be able to et them when Korean chaebols return, but they have to be fighting each other.’
Since he hadn’t t a dragon yet, Yeongwoo couldn’t imagine it well.
It would be a situation where chaebols who ca down as mutants fought each other, having taken on the identity of mutants.
‘I could make one of them my friend, and that could make it work.’
Nevertheless, it wasn’t an easy task.
The request to summon golden rain in North Arica was equally strange.
‘Is this telling to swim across the Pacific to North Arica?’
But why specifically pick the North Arican continent?
As Yeongwoo pondered, he naturally shifted his gaze to the bottom of the achievent list and found the reason.
[Pangea]
| At the mont when a tectonic shift occurs, witness the movent of the continent.
“…”
Pangea.
A supercontinent appearing in Alfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift, aning all existing continents are connected as one.
In other words, what this achievent implied was…
“Ah… the land is about to connect soon. I didn’t know that.”
His mind went blank.
Yeongwoo couldn’t think anymore.
* * *
At the sa ti, on the outskirts of Geumcheon-gun, North Hamgyong Province.
Pyongyang’s Strongest Sword, Lim Yeongpyo 01, chuckled as he watched children who seed to be no older than ten playing happily.
He had rushed here upon receiving a report of unusual weather phenona occurring in Geumcheon, where the thief from South Korea had visited.
However, when he arrived, instead of unusual weather, the sky over Geumcheon-gun was clear as ever.
And most importantly, children were outside as if nothing had happened.
‘Was the report wrong?’
Yeongpyo raised his head again and looked towards the stigma that had crossed over to the south.
Then, suddenly…
Clang!
With a familiar tallic sound and a montary flash of brilliance, Yeongpyo’s gaze shot like an arrow.
Straight into the hands of those children.
“Hey there.”
Sensing sothing ominous, Pyongyang’s Strongest Sword approached the child who held sothing in his small hands.
And then…
Swooosh.
“Would you like to give you so candy?”
He pretended to take out a candy from his pocket.
“Really?”
The child grinned and reached out his hand to take the candy, and in that mont…
“…?”
For the first ti in his life, Lim Yeongpyo saw a dazzling golden coin, engraved with the face of the South Korean thief in the center.
“Jeong Yeongwoo, this bas*ard?”
