Chapter 9 (2/2)
“First I will explain why I need old man President in the mercenary group. Secretary Nuna. Do you want to try this?”
*(TL: To those that are familiar with K-pop/K-drama/K-novel, Nuna mean older sister or older female)
“What is that?”
“It is good for your body. It is good for your skin, and it also helps maintaining body figure. Just think of it as a health food and one shot. Okay? If you don’t feel comfortable I can drink it first.”
“Hmm.”
The secretary looked at Kim Cheol-Soo.
Kim Cheol-Soo nodded his head, and she drank the white liquid in the soju bottle that she got from Park Chun-woo in a single gulp.
“How is it?”
“The first taste was bit sticky and felt weird but tasty and sweet aftertaste? Does this really help one’s figure?”
“Of course. Other than that nothing special right?”
“Hmm? Yes. I don’t really feel anything.”
“That is the normal reaction. This potion only displays its effect when a hunter drinks it. Aight. Then, now it is the time for the old man President to try it.”
“Okay.”
Kim Cheol-Soo drank all of the liquid in the soju bottle at once.
“How is it?”
“It is just right how Secretary Hw.a.n.g described it. It is tasty and has bit of an alcoholic taste to it. Other than that nothing else is diff ….. .”
At that moment.
Kim Cheol-Soo’s eyes saw something strange.
G.o.d’s Potion is in effect. All stats will increase by 1.
“Uh? What is …… .”
“Is there something wrong?”
“I’m seeing something weird. G.o.d’s Potion is in effect. All stats will increase by 1? That is what it says….”
Choi Cheol-Sik and Hanseong Su tilted their head, looking confused. Kim Cheol-Soo saw something he shouldn’t be able to see.
“Isn’t that the notification window??”
“Notification window? Notification window is something that only hunters are able to see. It isn’t possible for the President to see it.”
“But, according to what President said, what he saw was a notification window.”
“That doesn’t make sense no matter how much I think about it. How is it possible for someone to see the notification window just because they drank some alcohol? Isn’t that right, Chun-woo?”
Choi Cheol-Sik and Hanseong Su were perplexed.
Hanseong Su just shrugged his shoulder as if he doesn’t understand anything, and asked Park Chun-woo what was going on just in case.
Actually, Park Chun-woo was smiling at that moment.
“Bingo!”
When Park Chun-woo reincarnated for the fourth time, he felt his limit.
He was a Max Lvl S-Cla.s.s hunter who learned all the skills in existence.
The only one who reached lvl 500 and learned 2,511 skills. He even reincarnated with all of his legendary-grade artifacts and equipments, which made Park Chun-woo the strongest hunter.
However, he still felt the limit of his growth and strength.
When he reincarnated for the third time, he lost to the third apostle while trying to clear the 10th mission. It was an overwhelming defeat.
He couldn’t even properly land a hit.
Although he reached the maximum level, he felt that his strength did not get any closer to the third apostle.
“f.u.c.king G.o.d!”
He was filled with hopelessness.
The third apostle was too strong. He hasn’t even faced the second or first apostle, but he was obstructed by the third apostle. If it was like this, even if he reincarnated for the fifth times, the result would remain the save and won’t be able to clear the 12 missions.
However, he could not give up.
It is a matter of life and death. He have to try everything…. anything that might be helpful.
Park Chun-woo decided that he had to master his skill proficiency.
If one were to master or max out his skill proficiency, he or she would receive bonus stats and evolve his or her skill.
Since he already maxed out his level, his only option to get stronger was through grinding and maxing out his skill proficiencies.
He had a lot of time anyway.
Park Chun-woo spent most of his fourth reincarnation raising his skill proficiencies, and he believed that if he spent all of his time raising his skills during his fifth reincarnation, he would be able to master about 100 skills.
However, it was still questionable if he would able clear all 12 missions even if he tried his hardest.
He did not know if the stats gained through by mastering his skills were enough to disclose the distance in strength between him and the apostles. Their strengths were too distant when compared.
But he had to do it.
He had to try everything. He had to take even the smallest chance.
If there was an undiscovered epic dungeon, he hurried and conquered it, and he spent the other days mastering and honing his skills to mastery.
Then one day, a miracle smiled upon Park Chun-woo.
『Create Potion』.
Because skills used to create potions were extremely lacking and ineffective, there weren’t anyone who used the skill.
Even though Park Chun-woo knew that, he still persistently mastered the skill. He had to try something. This is was that something.
When Park Chun-woo mastered 『Create Potion』, he learned an epic-cla.s.s potion recipe.
He could not contain his laughter and joy.
“HaHaHa! I found it! I finally found it!”
G.o.d’s Potion.
A potion that increases every stat by one when it is consumed.
Park Chun-woo was a.s.sured the very moment he received the recipe to G.o.d’s Potion. He knew that this very recipe was a clue to eliminating all 12 apostles and clearing all the missions.
He endlessly traveled around the world for two and half years.
*(TL: Means he didn’t stop and kept traveling in search of something)
He raked every ingredient that was required to make the G.o.d’s Potion, not missing a tiny speck of ingredients around the world. Part of it was through hunting, and some were from endlessly purchasing from other hunters.
At that moment Park Chun-woo was confident.
‘I will give up my fourth reincarnation. In my fifth reincarnation, I will risk everything on G.o.d’s Potion. It’s the only way to overcome the third apostle and beat the first and second apostle.
*(TL: When he says he is going to give up his 4th reincarnation, it means he is going to grind his skills and make large amount of G.o.d’s potions in order to prepare for his 5th reincarnation)
