Chapter 19. How Many Tails? (3) (2/2)
“It was hard to e amount of liquid That hy he left so many scratches on the Cinder Fox’s body earlier He wanted to use its blood as the onna implode”
He had pushed his body to its liic He just wanted to collapse and rest, but it wasn’t over yet
“I’ll finish what I have to do, and then sleep”
Step, step
He dragged his feet to the dead Cinder Fox and looked up at its corpse
It really was enoric to support them, the ice spikes started to melt It was a desert, after all
‘Is it because it’s an EX-rank skill? The attack power is outstanding’
It wasn’t just the attack power The Frost skill hadback, he didn’t understand how he had ed to defeat the Frost Queen
“Well, , Seo Jun-Ho sliced through the Cinder Fox’s stomach and stuck his hand in A moment later, he pulled out an iteross…” It was the Cinder Fox’s liver It looked disgusting in shape and color, but that wasn’t an excuse to not eat it
‘If I eat this, all o up by 5’
Seo Jun-Ho squeezed his eyes shut, emptied his mind, and sed the raw liver It felt like forever until it passed, but he was eventually rewarded
[You have ingested the Cinder Fox’s raw liver]
[All stats +5]
“Ick”
As he gargled his es popped up
[You have cleared ⟪Burning Dunes⟫]
[You have leveled up]
[You have leveled up]
……
[All stats have increased by 4]
[You have regained 3 Strength stats]
[You have regained 2 Speed stats]
[You have received 「Cinder Fox’s Core」 as a reward]
[The Gate will automatically disappear in 1 hour]
“So it’s really over, right?”
He checked his inventory for the core, just in case
And then, he fainted
These days, it was hard to be a reporter in Korea, especially one that reported on Gates That was because they had to stay from the moment the players entered with no proet up even for a ht miss it when the players cao, just this once”
“Not on your life, newbie This is how society works Hand over your money”
“Goddammit”
That hy reporters tended to work in pairs They also tended to play games while the players were in the Gate Sometimes it was chess, sometimes it was Go, and sometimes, like now, it was poker
“You know, they say being a Gate reporter is hard, but it’s a piece of cake We just get to play while working”
“Bullshi+t What’s so great about freezing our asses off? I’d rather work overti is not knohen the players will come out” It had already been two days since the Players entered the Burning Dunes It was the average amount of time it took to see results, but that also included the duration for failure
Even if they succeeded this time, it would probably take at least another day
“Well, we can go home earlier if they fail”
As soon as those words left theirthem
“Look here, you little bastard Those people went there for the sake of their country Don’t be rude”
“I-I’m sorry It wascarefully, the hubae[2] slowly started to shuffle the deck
As they started their 85th poker game, the hubae stared ide eyes over the sunbae’s shoulders
“Huh?”
“Are you trying out a new poker face or so?”
“N-no Sunbae-niht?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? It’s blue before they go in and then red after”
“Th-that’s what I thought, but…”
Hearing the hubae talk nonsense, the sunbae wrinkled his forehead
“Hey You have a bad hand, don’t you? What are you saying?”
“No, that’s… The color of the Gate changed!”
“Is that all you can come up with?”
The sunbae shook his head, disappointed Suddenly, he shot up
“Hey, why’s it green?”
The reporter dropped his cards, dureen color meant that it had been cleared
“What? Green?”
“Wait, so they really did it?”
“The clear time was only 13 hours… They cleared it faster than the previous team failed!”
“This… This will be a scoop!”
The reporters on standby eed from their tents and quickly reached for their cameras
