Chapter 28 (1/2)
Chapter 28 Korean Arena Research Center (Part 2)
After the individual interviews followed a physical stress test Cha Ji-hye suggested to each of us an appropriate karma prize
“Thankfully, Kim Hyun-ho, your physical condition is that of a healthy adult male level”
“That’s, that’s a relief”
I had no confidence in h of relief It see every day made a difference
“Mr Kiet the entry level 4 physical strength buff Physical health is of utmost importance so please refer to it”
She shows me a paper
-Physical strength buff (secondary skill)
-Entry level 1: will earn physique of a healthy adult male (-100)
-Entry level 2: will earn physique of an athletic adult male (-150)
-Entry level 3: will earn physique of a trained soldier (-200)
-Entry level 4: will earn physique of specially trained marine (-250)
-Entry level 5: will earn physique that reinforces/strengthens to the limits of the human body (-300)
It is as Kang Chun-seong said, getting to the intermediate levels surpasses human limitations
“Entry level 4 will give me the physique of a specially trained marine?”
“Indeed”
“Without any difficult training, just for free?!”
“It is free There is of course, a need to acclimate yourself to your suddenly increased physique”
I summon my board and pick th buff
-Physical strength buff (secondary skill): strengthens physique
Entry level 2: will earn the physique of an athletic adult male (-150)
“I select physical strength buff to entry level 4”
As I say so, the words on the board change
-Physical strength buff to entry level 4 will use 600 karma Will you select?
-Re karma: +900
“Select”
Padt!
A light appears froht penetratesand I can feel it changing
“Huh?!”
“There is no need to be alar with the skill”
Likeon its own
My soft belly disappears and et fir hard starts to take shape
About a minute passes
The change is complete
“Wow!”
I see reat?
I pull up my sleeve and the muscles in my arm are developed in minute detail I lift up my shi+rt and check my middle
“This, this is!”
That legendary six pack! Not only the withered ar lower belly fat I had was nowhere to be seen
Not only that
Shoulders! Legs too!
Not just healthy muscle, but I now had muscles so fine they looked chiseled into me
“Are you done?”
I was so excited looking at my body and I ask Cha Ji-hye a question I come to my senses and scratch my head
“This really is an a skill”
“Not only physical strength, but your reatly improved”
“I really like this So, how should I spend the rest of my karma?”
“There is a secondary skill you must learn with 100 karma”
“What is it?”
“It’s a skill called a guider You can check it on your board”
I verify the skill called guider on my board
-Guider (secondary skill): gain a 6th sense to find your destination and location
Entry level 1: vaguely find the direction (-100)
Was there a skill like this?
“It’s a skill that at least one person per team needs to know Mr Kim Hyun-ho, you are the leader and you can scout with Sylph so together with this skill, you can ether”
“Understood”
I consent and select this skill too And so 100 karma was used and I was left with 200 karma
“So I’ve got my secondary skill, but do I not need to raise my spirit summon skill?”
“Even if you raise your main skill one or two levels, it doesn’t ht now, raising your secondary skills willphysical and a strong sense of direction is the most important”
“Understood”
I decide to trust Cha Ji-hye, who is a specialist
“How should I usekarma?”
“That, we need to experiment with another specialist and we need a bit more time”
“Experiment?”
“We are looking for the best choice, so trust us and wait”
“Alright, I will”
“Also, take this book”
Cha Ji-hye hands me a very thick book
“It is a comprehensive informational book on the Arena Please read all of it”
“Ok And when does the training begin?”
“At this ti”
“Huh?”
There is no training needed?
Cha Ji-hye speaks to a doubtful me
“Mr Kim Hyun-ho, you do not have a part that requires i immediately You were able to survive on your own and your aiet and you’ve mastered the uses of your spirit summon very well”
“…”
“Of course, if we come up with another idea on how you can use your spirit suht away But for now, resting for the 14 days is best”
“Is that the same for the other team members?”
“Mr Kang Chun-seong does not have a need for training either His co was actually to the point that our martial arts team needed to learn from him”
“Well yeah…”
Thatlike a monster and with his martial arts skill, isn’t he complete already?
“But Lee Joon-ho and Lee Hye-su will stay here and receive training for the 14 days”
“Here?”
“Yes The two people haveOf course for the 1-2 days before the exaive them time to rest and recuperate”
I worry for Hye-su She only has one sword and 150 kar?
“So can Kang Chun-seong and I just go home?”
“Mr Kang Chun-seong does not have a place to go so he has decided to stay here We can escort you with a helicopter and vehicle to your place
I took the helicopter and rode the Eqqus and by the tiot hoain, was overco out my own body If Hyun-ji sees, she’ll be so surprised She always teasedshe doesn’t like to see anchovies I shall astonish her with this oppa’s chocolate abs …actually that see would that be to do to a younger sister?
(TN: because anchovies are skinny and weak like he used to be)
(TN: as in his abs look like the squares on a bar of chocolate)
After finish o around le and smile in front of the full body mirror and put on just jeans and assume some model poses Ahh I am happy
‘I should test out how much better this is’
First, I lightly do some pushups
‘A thousand I think I can do a thousand!’
