Ru A a break After reaching the mountain peak, they swam in the ocean that suddenly appeared and returned to the starting point alround and frantically gasped for air, while Ru Around Then he looked at Chi-Woo with shock

‘How…’ He hadn’t matched his speed to his teacher’s; he didn’t have the leisure to do so He ht be mistaken, but he felt tested everyit his all, but Teacher was htly ahead, there were times when he was overtaken ‘This place is…’ By that point, Ru A the training course once, he figured out the exact intentions of the person who created it No tricks or special skills worked here Instead, it forced the trainee to go through a fir the trajectory set by the space, one would have no choice but to get stronger

ress, but he also couldn’t hide his amazement for Chi-Hyun “How did…he create such a space…?” Ru A for breath, but Chi-Hyun did not respond—no, he wasn’t able to because he was also surprised by Chi-Woo’s progress Chi-Hyun could roughly gauge Ru Amuh’s physical ability; it was probably above a nor behind

ThisChi-Woo’s physical ability was also close to rank C Chi-Hyun al would have to train their whole life to reach rank C, but Chi-Woo was already on the verge of reaching it Of course, Chi-Hyun could guess how this was possible by looking at Chi-Woo’s user information

8 [Golden Ratio AAA]-…all physical attributes increase by one rank, and the same actions become more efficient by several-fold…

It was one of the effects of the AAA skill Golden Ratio Moreover, even though the Golden Ratio’s rank had re in this space had corrected Chi-Woo’s s that had beenability could finally show its true effect and bring about synergy The results were truly terrifying Chi-Hyun was certain that one would be hard-pressed to call his brother hu about him became unknowable—be it his limit or potential

“…”

His brother suddenly felt like a stranger to hiuests left on the same day they visited Hawa disappeared without a word, and Ru Hiana ran aith a look of frustration, saying, “I shouldn’t disturb you” Meanwhile, Ru Amuh felt deeply conflicted He seeether with Chi-Woo, but he was responsible for a lot of tasks as the only one a the heroes who had reached Gold

It was bittersweet to see his co while, but Chi-Woo did not dwell in these e immediately and told Chi-Hyun to quickly hit hione Chi-Woo had perfectly adapted to this space It wasn’t just training Another reason why he was able to settle doas because he could converse with his brother

Since he cas he was curious about He also had many concerns that he couldn’t tell anyone else, but now, he had a great counselor to confide in Since his brother knew of his background and circumstances, Chi-Woo could ask for advice without hesitation

“I don’t knohat to do with Ms Hawa and Ms Eshnunna” While eating dinner, Chi-Woo suddenly thought of Hawa and confessed his worries “They’re both Liber natives, but they both want to becorowth syste heroes” Then Chi-Hyun spoke with a repri about them?”

“Because I proave him a pointed look, Chi-Woo scratched his head and said, “Well, other than that, I’ve also received a lot of help fro this, Chi-Woo was prepared to get an earful Considering his brother’s character, there was a high possibility that his brother would tell hi

But surprisingly, Chi-Hyun fell into deep thought “Hmm Now that I think about it…you’ve received a special privilege” Chi-Hyun was referring to “7 Ways to Become a Great and Respected Parent”, and Chi-Woo quickly waved his hand in denial

“No, I wasn’t going that far”

Chi-Hyun continued, “If it were me, I’d set a specific criteria”

“A criteria?”

“Yeah, like the criteria of the growth systee was unique to Chi-Woo, and how he used it was entirely dependent on himself Just like how a hero earned merits and passed promotion tests, Chi-Woo also needed to establish his own criteria If sorow by using his special privilege

“Consider why you should help the” Chi-Hyun continued, “Were it me, I would prioritize trust level You’re only able to activate that function after exceeding a certain percentage in the first place, right?”

Chi-Woo listened quietly, his eyes suddenly brightening “What about you?”

“What?”

“You’re helping me Did I meet some kind of condition you set?”

Chi-Hyun snorted There was no way that would be the case; the only condition Chi-Woo met was that he was his brother

“Don’t worry I’ll quickly grow stronger and help you out” Chi-Woo puffed out his chest and confidently spoke without knohat his brother was thinking

“Don’t talk nonsense” Chi-Hyun’s voice quickly deepened “I told you before not to do anything”

Chi-Woo faltered The ato, but it became scary as Chi-Hyun’s face stiffened

“No… Then why did you do all this?” Chi-Woo said while looking at his surroundings

Chi-Hyun, who had been staring at Chi-Woo for a while, slowly said, “I know by coer in a place like Liber” He softly continued, “That’s why I want you to build up enough strength to protect yourself in case of an eency I didn’t create this space for you to step forward and do so”

“…”

A heavy silence enveloped them, aard and uncoht his brother’s ether here

ed his mind in the least, and he was extre he could never back down frohed and looked away “…Go to sleep”

Chi-Woo quietly stood up; neither of them was in the ht, Chi-Woo didn’t fall asleep He couldn’t, so he sat on his sleeping bag and stared at the campfire

–…You know

Philip, who had been stealing furtive glances towards him, quietly approached and talked to hi I’ve been curious about Can I ask you a question?

Chi-Woo slightly lifted his shoulder

“…I’ve read a book before” Chi-Woo pulled hihtly hoarse voice “There was…a phrase that left a deep impression on me” He fixed his eyes on the campfire and continued in a daze
