Chapter 9 (2/2)

As this specific subject became discussed, the chat room’s fervor rose. They acted in a frenzy as though they had earned everything with their inflated dreams.

“That’s when you’re still alive. As if everything will go their way.”

Each mission was a matter of life and death. Cha Jun Sung lived freely, but the others had greed, ambition, and avarice.

-[If you look in the Medicine menu, they sold cancer inhibitors, growth promoters, and blood too!]

That was a bit surprising. Each item could provoke medical innovation.

Cha Jun Sung left the chat room to properly look through the store. Even if others did not explain it to him, it was easy to understand it as long as he had the PDA.

“Unbelievable. Do points use money to control all things?”

Money is what has decided everything until now. Now, that would become points. There was nothing they could not do as long as they had points.

“Do I need to go too…..? If I don’t go, that would mean these people would rise above me. I don’t like that.”

He was not undermining others, but the people who were below him would stand atop his Overload reputation if this continued.

He would rather die than lose. Odin’s warning that he would not be able to live if he did not have power also stuck in his mind. He was muddled for various reasons.

“I can select between Level D and E missions. By difficulty, Level E has Level 1 and 2, D has Level 3 and 4 mutants. From Level 3, their strength and growth expand so I won’t be able to even leave a scratch unless I’m properly armed.”

He could tell through common sense. His pack and basic items were just 100 points.

Even with 5260 points, he would not be able to acquire the equipment necessary to complete a Level D mission. He would need many more points.

-[Body Modification]

Cha Jun Sung clicked on the list that would make it possible for him to take on a crowd of mutants. In the Level D store, there was surgery up to stage 2.

-[Gains from 1st stage body modification: 100,000 points]

-[Gains from 2nd stage body modification: 200,000 points]

Gain and probability were ensured until the 4th stage in the virtual version.

But the gain and probability fell from the 5th stage, and the character could die if the body modification failed. The character is deleted from the 9th stage onwards.

In a situation where people can evolve into superhumans, it had to be difficult.

Swipe.

Cha Jun Sung looked through the store for a few hours. There were a lot of curious things.

He did not get sick of it. He chose the optimal equipment he could get with his 5260 points. The Level D store was taken out of consideration, his points did not allow for it.

-[Low class impact tights: 1500 points]

-[Plastic armor: 1500 points]

-[Steel katana: 1000 points]

Impact tights fit the body closely and absorb external shock.

The 1cm thick special textile acted like a sponge. The disadvantage was that it was vulnerable to attacks of focused strength or sharp materials because of its low level.

The plastic armor is light, but high in elasticity and hard. If worn with the impact tights, they covered each other’s disadvantages.

The steel katana is a sword. It’s power and cutting force were strong, so it was advantageous to have before a fray. It was a symbol of Cha Jun Sung’s Overload and a weapon he was very familiar with.

“I’m gaining confidence.”

This was the equipment he chose costing a total of 4000 points. If he were wearing these, he would be able to fight 21 Kawods with his eyes closed.

“I guess I’ll need weapons? A pistol is a little weak, but a submachine gun is good.”

-[Mp7 red fire: 500 points]

It was a good one. It had a fast burst speed and its penetration was significant.

It had the basic 8 magazines with 271 bullets… 30 rounds per magazine. He intended to leave 1 round loaded.

“I’ll use the remaining 409 points on expendables. Food and medicine are important.”

If he didn’t eat, he would be exhausted even without moving. If he treated his wounds right away, he could prevent major injuries. It was a grave mistake to think that weapons are the only essential items.

“Perfect.”

Cha Jun Sung praised himself as he looked at the item list. He had not wasted even 1 point. He had calculated the weight he could lift and efficiency as well.

“I can handle Level 1 with this equipment for sure, but I can also give Level 2 a try.”

Level 1 could not get through the plastic armor and impact tights. It could if the damage accumulated, but he would not stay still.

Level 2 was dangerous to go up against right now, but the odds for a one-on-one fight were greater than 90% if he used the red fire and dagger before a struggle.

How did he know?

He was following the route he had gone through as a beginner again. He did not even think about Level 3 because there was a high possibility of dying from a single blow.

“Uh….. What the hell am I thinking? What am I doing right now?”
