Chapter 208: From the Ground Up (2)
It was as his brother said When Chi-Woo went to the city's center, he saw a conspicuous tall building The inside was vibrant and loud, as expected of a well-established holy city Chi-Woo looked around for a while and cliuards who looked to be ue; they seemed to have been notified beforehand and opened the door for Chi-Woo unprompted
Chi-Woo walked across the corridors and reached for a large door Before he even knocked, the door slid open
“Come in”
“Whoah” As soon as Chi-Woo stepped inside, he couldn’t hide his awe Even froeous and cool antique rooloss, and each of the here bright sunlight shone through was fra in a well-crafted chair, Chi-Hyun looked like a grand duke with enormous power
“What? What’s this outlandish rooue offered me”
“Is this your house?”
“As if I wouldn’t live in an embassy unless I want to die under a mountain pile of documents”
“Then?”
“I have a separate house They built an overbearing residence at the center of the city as a gift for rumbled that they had put too much unnecessary care into that house as well; Chi-Woo looked at Chi-Hyun with envy
“There’s so ot was an inn roo in different leagues” Chi-Hyun snorted while reading his documents
Chi-Woo asked, “Why just an inn room for four people?”
“What about it?” Chi-Hyun asked
“I nment system?”
“Data and statistics don’t lie,” Chi-Hyun said as he got up froh a hero raised their ranks, you can measure how much work they have done…” Chi-Hyun trailed off because Chi-Woo was pointing at hih of course, there are exceptions”
“Yes, there could be people like me”
“No, that can’t be,” Chi-Hyun shook his head “No other hero can be like you” Chi-Woo was certainly a very unusual and rare case If there were more people like his brother, Chi-Hyun would have put inhis system
“I’m sure you would think it’s unfair on your end” Chi-Hyun also kne his brother was feeling, but by establishi+ng an assignment system based on ranks, he quelled all coive exceptions to some, people were bound to complain If Chi-Woo’s reputation and faht have understood; however, Chi-Woo kept a disproportionately low profile despite his achievements Only those who knew him knehat he had done
They understood that Chi-Woo didn’t go around blabbering about his accomplishments because he wanted to keep his privacy; however, his obscurity backfired on him in cases like this At the end of the day, Chi-Woo’s current situation better fit his personality, and Chi-Hyun believed it was better for his brother to hide his identity and avoid garnering suspicions at the moment
“But if it’s you, can’t you raise your ranks easily?” Chi-Hyun tilted his head “There’s no way you have no merits Besides, you went on an expedition only recently”
“That’s true”
“It should be enough for you to rank up several tio through, but you’ll probably reach gold rank easily”
“…”
“If La Bella helps you out a bit…you can realistically look into platinum rank too,” Chi-Hyun said Froreement It was as Chi-Hyun said Chi-Woo had earned an astoundingly great nuh the previous expedition In fact, he now had way over one million merits in total He would have plenty left even if he rose to gold rank
“It’s not too late If you want, you can receive treatain”
Yet Chi-Woo didn’t do that “Uht about that, but…”
“Yes?”
“No matter how much I think about it, it seems like a waste”
“How so?”
“Well, you knohen I raise ives birth to new abilities or io up unconditionally at thaton about that?” Chi-Hyun sighed The surprising thing about the growth system was that it unconditionally raised the user’s physical abilities by one rank Thus, Chi-Woo was basically saying that he was going to train as much as he could to lirowth syste rank B, he would be able to receive two tirowth system at rank D Chi-Hyun are of this, but what Chi-Woo was suggesting was practically impossible In the first place, it was a very difficult and tiring process for a being to reach their species’ full potential Furtherrowth system was no fool; there were restrictions in place in case heroes out of the standard appeared, and there was a reason why ranks were divided into three stages starting from rank B
Nevertheless, Chi-Woo shouted with his fist in the air, “The one who persists wins!”
“But there should be a hed
“It’s a systeer as fast as possible Why do you insist on going that route when other heroes are desperate to use it?” As Chi-Hyun said, even Ru Aress faster
“How long are you going to live as Iron IV? You are hu, you can only reach rank C, and to go beyond that, you will have to borrow the growth systeer hu beyond rank C with only training”
“…Who told you that?” Chi-Hyun frowned
[You must never say it’s me]
For sonorance, and Chi-Hyun pressed his palainst his forehead
“Anyways, if that’s what you believe, I won’t force you to do anything right now But you must take responsibility for your decisions” In other words, Chi-Hyun was telling Chi-Woo to put up orse treat better ones
“Since you said you wanted to change, I suppose it won’t be bad for you to start learning froround up Do as you wish” Chi-Hyun turned back to his docued Chi-Woo
“I feel like I just wasted your ti to visit me at least once”
“?”
“You reht?”
Chi-Woo rolled his eyes Chi-Hyun had given hi hi out
“I’ to coain, but if you want to object to any part of the assignave you, i to the task before doing so”
“What do youat least one condition?”
“There’s no point in uide you every step of the way”
