After leaving Song Haechang's room, I headed up to the first floor lobby. I didn't feel the need to go back up to the 96th floor to say my farewells to Song Daechul. When I got off at the first floor, I saw Haein waiting for me by the front entrance.
”You took longer than I had expected.”
”Yeah, it kind of turned out that way.” It really did turn out that way, especially since I had to wait three hours for Song Haechang to resurrect.
”My grandfather forgot to give this to you.”
”What is it?” I took the note Haein handed to me.
”You received the dungeon blessing as well, didn't you?”
”I did, yeah.”
”That note has the location of a hidden dungeon that is in our custody.”
”What?” Hidden dungeons were extremely valuable, especially for those under dungeon blessings. They even add 4 points to Dungeon Seeker!
”You have points in your Dungeon Seeker too, right?”
”Yeah.”
”If you reveal it, you can obtain its 4 points. Also, it's not a high-grade, but we believe it to be one of the stronger mid-grade dungeons, so it'll be good enough for your skills.”
”Don't you guys need it, too?”
”We'll be fine. We have fields to clear out anyway, and we were going to expand our territory as well.”
”Well, if that's the case…thanks.” At least I knew where to go train for the next few months.
”Also…”
”Hmm?”
”We're not enemies, right?”
”…Of course we're not.”
”Then can I call every now and then?”
”Yeah, that's fine.”
Haein finally smiled after having a stony expression all day. ”This is my Comm Link. It'll be better if we call each other through this than through the hotline.”
”Good idea.” I took her Comm Link and connected it with mine.
”Then…until we meet again, oppa.”
”Yeah, see you.”
Haein then headed for the elevators. Before she got on, she gave me a small wave and I waved back. I left as I watched the elevator doors close. The sky was already darkening.
”Ha… I'm going to take the rest of the day off.” All I did today was mostly talk with the Hitman Guild and the Sunbin Guild, but I felt extremely exhausted for some reason. Dealing with Song Haechang had also left me drained.
I headed for the same Kaltz Hotel I stayed at whenever I was in Seoul. Once I got to my room, I fell asleep without even checking the Rank 8 item and the note I got from Haein.
---
I woke up late next morning. After taking a shower, I placed the Rank 8 item on a table. ”Item check.” I already knew what the Rank 9 item was. It was the same item Wai Chung had obtained in the past, but I did not know what this one was.
======
[The King-Emperor's Helm (Rank 8)
The King-Emperor, God of his world, wore this Helm whenever he went to war. This lion-shaped Helm was originally golden, but after countless bloody battles, the Helm shines red with the blood of its enemies. Just looking at it brings fears to its enemies' hearts.
Increase all Stats by 100 points
Increase STR by 300 points
Increase Penetration Resistance by 42 points
Decrease incoming CRIT damage by 94%
Grants King-Emperor's Weak Dignity upon equip. (King-Emperor's Weak Dignity: All enemies within a 10-meter radius (monsters included) incur a debuff that lowers ATT, MATT, DEF and MDEF by 3 %.)
Durability: 814,500/815,000
DEF 2,500, MDEF 2,100]
======
”Sweet, an AoE debuff!” An AoE debuff from just equipping an armor piece and not learning it through a skill was always a plus, even if it was only 3%!
”Still, it's better than nothing.” I put the helm on.
==[You have equipped The King-Emperor's Helm (Rank 8). Would you like to make it visible?]==
”No.” It'd definitely be weird if I walked around town with a big, red helmet. Happy about the item, I then took out the note that Haein had given me but before I could open it, a message appeared.
==[The King-Emperor's Commitment (Rank 10) and the King-Emperor's Helm (Rank 8) coalesces.
The King Emperor's Weak Dignity is now The King-Emperor's Prominent Dignity.
The King Emperor's Commitment coalesces with any items that belong to the King-Emperor that are lower than Rank 10. (If you have more than two, then the King-Emperor's Commitment will coalesce with highest ranked item.)==
