Chapter 96: Chapter 96

[Lv. 200 Mutated Golem]

The entrance of the Ruined City.

A Lv. 200 Mutated Golem appeared right at the entrance.

Unlike ordinary golems, it was crudely made of decayed bricks, but its aura was incomparable to that of ordinary golems.

– It’s because they accepted the Epic quest…

– If they had accepted the Normal quest, a Lv. 150 monster would have appeared.

– Wow… Honestly, they’re dead.

– It says Lv. 200, but you need to be at least 210 to safely defeat it.

The difficulty of the dungeon was adjusted depending on the quest choice.

Jeong-Hoon had chosen the Epic quest, so the difficulty of the dungeon had increased significantly.

“Hoon, what do we do about that…?”

A Lv. 200 monster right at the entrance.

He had bravely accepted the Epic quest, but the moment he entered the dungeon, his courage disappeared and he felt only despair.

“Usually, there’s a cheat code or something in places like this, right?”

“Cheat code?”

“Yeah. It looks like there’s a cheat code hidden somewhere.”

Jeong-Hoon looked around.

– Hahaha

– Hahahahaha

– No way, he’s talking about cheat codes lol

– Why is he acting like that all of a sudden? lol

The chat was filled with laughter.

Ignoring them, Jeong-Hoon fumbled with the wall on the right.

He deliberately acted clumsy, as if he didn’t know what he was doing.

But at the same time, he meticulously searched for the exact location where the cheat code was hidden.

‘The Ruined City is literally a cheat code itself.’

His former colleague, Iwase Haruto.

He was Japanese and a hidden class Enhancer.

He was also the one who turned this Ruined City into a national dungeon.

‘Iwase Haruto’s level is probably around 130 right now.’

Considering the time he had mentioned, he was probably around that level.

Jeong-Hoon intended to turn it into a national dungeon before he could.

‘I need to make sure Korea gets the honey.’

When Iwase turned it into a national dungeon, Japan would properly reap the benefits.

Then it would spread to other countries, and Korea would also belatedly try to get the honey, but the sweet honey from the beginning wouldn’t be there anymore.

Jeong-Hoon intended to transfer that honey from Japan to Korea.

“Wow! There really is one?!”

Jeong-Hoon tapped the wall with a sly smile, and the sturdy wall dented in the shape of an adult man’s fist.

– ???

– ???

– ???

– What was that?

Question marks popped up in the chat in real time.

What do you mean what was that?

It’s the start of the cheat code.

Jeong-Hoon put his hand into the hole.

‘There’s a button inside. It’s a device the game developers made.’

Iwase had a pretty good memory.

Unlike his other colleagues, the details of his story were quite detailed.

Thanks to that, finding the cheat code was very simple.

Jeong-Hoon pressed the button.

[Monsters are disappearing.]

And the 10 golems in front of them collapsed.

[Quest in progress.]

[A large amount of experience points are being accumulated.]

A large amount of experience points that could be received when completing the quest.

– There really was a cheat code hahahan/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

– No way, why does this work? This is so absurd lol

– It’s really Honey Tube, huh? I acknowledge it.

– The nickname is perfect lol

“Th-The number of live viewers has increased to 112!”

The number of live viewers had jumped to 112.

“Okay. Let’s continue.”

* * *

Kim Bong-Goo, who came out of the capsule, felt like he was going to die.

[Whisper/Hoon -> SaltySoup4Mom: Come to Märchen Kingdom when you reach level 151.]

This was because he had received a special mission from Jeong-Hoon.

You could only move to Märchen Kingdom after reaching level 151.

Kim Bong-Goo’s current level was 150.

He had to raise his level by one more.

The problem was when he would level up.

“Ha… If I’ve done this much, can’t you just let me go?! You crazy bastard!”

His level before entering the bug city was 142.

Thanks to following Jeong-Hoon, he was able to gain 8 levels in that city.

He was just one level away, but no matter how many monsters he caught, his level remained the same.

It was true that leveling up from 150 to 151 was twice as hard as leveling up from 149 to 150.

[Whisper/Hoon -> SaltySoup4Mom: You know what happens if you’re late, right?]

He wanted to run away, but he couldn’t.

Honey Tube.

Ha-Jin had told him about it, and he said that he was the one who filmed the video.

That meant that Jeong-Hoon was also the one behind the much-talked-about temple event.

“…What kind of person is he?”

How could he hit the jackpot everywhere he went?

At this point, Jeong-Hoon seemed like some unknown being, not a human.

Kim Bong-Goo searched for Honey Tube on his smartphone.

“Huh? They’re doing a LIVE broadcast?”

Honey Tube was currently doing a LIVE broadcast.

The number of real-time viewers was 244.

“What are they doing that so many people are watching?”

Kim Bong-Goo clicked on the broadcast out of curiosity.

The broadcast showed Jeong-Hoon and Ha-Jin, with their faces mosaicked, raiding a dungeon.

– Wow, how are there so many cheat codes?

– No fucking way hahahahaha

– It was a cheat code paradise hahaha

– How are they so good at finding cheat codes?

– It’s not them lol The guy in the lead is the one finding them all lol

– This is amazing… I’m recording everything right now lol

– Me too lol I’m recording everything to follow along and clear it

‘…What is this.’

That dungeon was definitely the Ruined City in the Märchen Kingdom.

The Ruined City was known as one of the most infamous dungeons on World Com.

In a very bad way.

A dungeon that no one could clear, Jeong-Hoon was clearing it using cheat codes.

‘This is crazy…!’

Jeong-Hoon’s play instantly captivated Kim Bong-Goo.

He neatly dodged the attacks of the Mutated Golems and Mutated Guardians, used cheat codes hidden in the floor and walls to quickly eliminate monsters, and moved forward.

“It looks like this is the only way to avoid that guy’s attacks.”

Jeong-Hoon casually dropped a hint and lightly dodged the monster’s attack.

– No way, how did he dodge that? lol

– Wow… His reaction speed is insane.

– Okay, I’m going to hold a shield and endure here.

The viewers were completely immersed in Jeong-Hoon’s play.

“There might be a cheat code somewhere…”

Jeong-Hoon looked around and tapped the floor.

As expected, a corner dented, revealing a button.

He pressed the button, and the monsters lost their power and disappeared, just like before.

– Aha, it’s there this time?

– Recorded!

– Wow lol This is awesome.

– No, but how can he find all those cheat codes?

– Honey 1, you! Reveal your identity!

– Seriously, who is Honey 1? Who is so good?

– He doesn’t even use skills, so I don’t even know his class lol

Kim Bong-Goo knew who he was.

That’s why he couldn’t just stay still.

‘…Let’s level up.’

He was so frustrated that he couldn’t level up, but Jeong-Hoon’s super play had completely healed his mental state.

He was once again convinced that he had to follow Jeong-Hoon to grow further.

Kim Bong-Goo hurriedly entered the capsule.

* * *

“Hey! Come with me!”

“Woohoo!”

Wham!

“Ugh!”

With a heavy thud, Ha-Jin’s body was lifted into the air and slammed into the wall.

[Your HP is rapidly decreasing!]

[You are in critical condition.]

[Your HP is below 20%. You need to recover.]

“Oh, that idiot.”

Jeong-Hoon pressed a button, and the monsters disappeared.

“Ugh…”

“Are you okay?”

Ha-Jin clutched his stomach, seemingly in pain, and managed to get up.

“Wow… How can my HP be reduced by 84% in one hit?”

It was literally a critical injury.

One more hit and he would die instantly.

“Potion?”

“…Wait a minute.”

Ha-Jin took out a potion from his inventory and drank it.

His HP started to recover, albeit slightly.

His HP wasn’t recovering properly because he was in critical condition.

“Come here.”

“Hey… We’re live right now.”

“So what.”

Jeong-Hoon ignored him and used healing on Ha-Jin.

As he poured divine power, the critical condition mark on Ha-Jin disappeared.

And his HP, which had been only 20%, started to recover quickly and soon reached 100%.

– …?

– Was he a healer?

– A healer showed that kind of performance?

– This is bullshit lol

– No wonder he didn’t have any weapons lol

– But isn’t the uniform he’s wearing something that martial artists usually wear?

– Forget that lol Raise your hand if you’re curious about the next cheat code

– Hand

– Hand

– Foot

Fortunately, the chat wasn’t a big deal, but now it was.

A giant red door stood in front of them.

That door led to the center.

“…It’s a boss, will we be okay?”

“We have to go.”

Of course, there was also a cheat code for the boss.

How could it become a national dungeon without a cheat code?

However, activating the cheat code could be a bit tricky, so it required some skill.

Jeong-Hoon opened the door and went in.

[Lv. 250 Red Evil Spirit Golem]

In the center, a golem, a whopping 10 meters tall, was chained and glaring at Jeong-Hoon and Ha-Jin.

Just facing its presence was enough to make their whole bodies stiffen.

– Wow… The Red Evil Spirit Golem?

– How do we deal with that…?

– It’s hopeless, gg

– It’s over ㅠㅠ

– You did well just getting this far.

Even the chat seemed to have given up.

“It’s moving.”

Jeong-Hoon used his movement technique to swiftly move.

‘The reason why it requires a bit of skill is simple. The boss in the center can’t move for the first minute.’

The old chains that bound the Red Evil Spirit Golem’s hands and feet.

The chains were shimmering with a red aura, but the light was dim, and they looked precarious, as if they were about to break at any moment.

He had to activate the cheat code during that time.

Jeong-Hoon searched the surroundings, deliberately tapping on the walls and floor.

‘This shouldn’t arouse suspicion.’

After several misses, he finally hit the right spot, and the floor dented.

Jeong-Hoon pressed the button on the floor.

The loose energy of the chains strengthened and pulled the golem’s left arm strongly.

Clank!

“Kuaagh!”

The golem screamed.

– Oh?

– Shit hahaha

– There’s a cheat code for the boss too!

– Location confirmed!

– Okay! So it was there?!

– Honey 1! Honey 1! Honey 1

– Honey 1 is the best!

– I love you, Honey 1!

Jeong-Hoon used his movement technique to continue moving.

Next was the right arm.

The place that strengthened the seal on the chain of the right arm was on the opposite side.

He continued to tap on the walls and floor, finding the right spot and pressing the button.

Clank!

“Kuaa! Human! Humaaaan!”

The golem screamed in agony.

– Wow, that’s scary.

– Just die already!

– What do we do now?!

What do you mean what do we do?

It’s over.

The boss’s cheat code only needed to be pressed twice.

As proof, the loose chains on its neck and legs also started to tighten.

Clank!

At the same time, the Red Evil Spirit Golem’s body glowed and disappeared in an instant.

[The Red Evil Spirit Golem disappears.]

[The Red Evil Spirit Golem’s seal is strengthened.]

Even though they hadn’t defeated it, the loose seal was strengthened again, and it was considered cleared.

[Quest in progress.]

[A large amount of experience points are being accumulated.]

This was how it became a national dungeon.

– …The end?

– It ends so anticlimactically?

– Crazy, why did everyone avoid this place?

– Did they know there were so many cheat codes here?

You want the rewards?

I’ll show you right now.

Jeong-Hoon grinned and opened his mouth.

“It says a large amount of experience points have been accumulated… I’ll receive them right now.”

The method of receiving the reward was simple.

A message had appeared before his eyes.

[Would you like to receive the reward?]

“Can I receive it right now?”

Ha-Jin asked Jeong-Hoon.

“Yes.”

Jeong-Hoon nodded and pressed the receive button.
