===================
Joo-hyuk continued to wait for Rajix in the White Tower.
The summoned entities had all gone out to the Pyongyang Black Tower field site.
Saying orders were backed up.
Saying there was a shortage of hands.
Saying they had to hurry with the mass production of the Escape Obesity Bracelet too.
How bad was it that even the shut-in anthropophobic Corner Alchemist Mari was called out.
To make the chemicals for processing scroll paper and ink.
Spending time alone, I'm okay with it because I've done it often in the past.
While waiting like this.
Spot!
Commissioner Jeon Kwang-il came visiting.
"Welcome. Commissioner-nim."
"Ah, you were alone."
"Everyone left."
"Yes? Eu-heum, uh, where?"
"To the Pyongyang factory."
"...Ah."
We conversed together too.
"I tried experimenting with one more Rune Necklace of Liberation."
"What kind of experiment?"
"A resistance experiment against high-level players."
Scrolls also have limits.
That the higher the magic power, the stronger the resistance becomes.
"Even players level 70 and above have the same magic power sealing effect. However, the duration has shortened."
Compared to the level 50s, it's less than half, he says.
Well, a 20-level difference is tremendous.
Mackenzie had mentioned it before.
That SSRs, 7-circles, and top-tier Sword Experts could ignore scroll magic.
"Even at the same level, it's different for each person."
"Is it a difference in talent?"
"Probably."
Time flowed with this and that conversation.
Jeon Kwang-il went back outside because of work.
And Joo-hyuk continued waiting for Rajix alone again.
But when is that building going to shine?
'It's nice being quiet for the first time in a while though.'
I'm starting to get sleepy.
I dozed off momentarily and opened my eyes again.
While just spending time blankly like this.
Right at that moment!
Hwa-a-a-a-at!
"Oh!!!"
Joo-hyuk jumping up abruptly from the chair.
It's light.
The summit of the landmark shone like a lighthouse.
"He's coming!!!"
Seu-pa-pa-pat!
Joo-hyuk hurriedly ran and arrived at the building lobby.
Coming down.
The elevator is descending slowly.
From the top of the landmark.
But why is it so terribly slow?
Hurry up and come down.
When he was an SSR, the catalog name of the Universe's Great Farmhand was this.
A perfectly fitting modifier.
Loyal as a baseline, more reliable than anyone else, an all-arounder who couldn't do nothing, and a genius too.
Then what would an LSSR Rajix look like?
'Hurry up and come down. Quickly.'
Wi-i-i-ing!
It's almost all the way down.
And finally.......
Tting!
The mechanical sound ringing its arrival.
Seu-reu-reuk.
The doors open.
"Ho-a!!!"
A clear and refreshing energetic roar of a hamster.
It was Rajix.
"You came!!!"
Rajix saw Joo-hyuk too.
"Rajix-ssi!"
As soon as he saw him de-gu-reu-reu-reu-reu, he came rolling vigorously.
And then, in front of Joo-hyuk tung! Bouncing up into the air.
Hwi-ri-ri-rit!
"Wow!"
Paeng-geu-reu-reu-reu!
Like a gymnast, after doing five mid-air somersault rotations.
"Ho-rat!"
Cha-ak!
Kneeling one knee on the floor, one hand on the floor, the other hand stretched out backwards, pausing momentarily.
It was a superhero landing.
"My goodness, our Universe's Great Farmhand!!!"
Deop-seok!
"Hu-et?"
Joo-hyuk embraced Rajix tightly wa-rak and rubbed his face.
"Ho-et! Hu-a-at!"
"Do you know how much I missed you?"
Only after hugging him for a long time and fully satisfying his desires did Joo-hyuk let Rajix go.
"Hu-a-a-a......."
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Rajix finally entering his sight.
There wasn't a big change in appearance.
Even softer and shinier fur, a round head and body just like before, and short limbs.
In some ways, he might have gotten even cuter.
However, the safety helmet he wore on his head changed.
It used to be gold, but now it's a silver-white safety helmet.
It's not a silver material.
Matte and an antique color.
'Could this perhaps be.......'
Platinum.
Right.
It's exactly the same as the platinum material.
'Did it change from a golden tool to a platinum tool?'
What about information?
Did the breakthrough succeed?
- Name : Rajix
- Grade : LSSR (Legendary Special Super Rare)
The dimension's supreme maestro!
Then Dimensional Farmhand!
"Wait just a moment. Stay here."
"Ho-a?"
"Because I'll call you in a bit."
I can't enjoy this happiness alone.
I must let the others know.
Joo-hyuk hurriedly went outside and entered the tower.
And then, using the Ring of Tower Exit to come out to the Pyongyang Black Tower.
"Player Bong-nim, have you arrived, sir?"
"You did not necessarily have to come out, however,"
"We do all the work. The Summoner should play."
"Still, since you've come, let's have a glass of Taedong River Bilberry Liquor."
Cossack giving a scolding to Gwangma's words.
"Geez, Old man Gwang, is it liquor whenever you have a chance, sir? Please do some work, sir. Our Corner Alchemist is alone in that building making ink so she can't even geek out on her tablet, sir."
"Keo-heom!"
Joo-hyuk smiled broadly shi-ik and said.
"Because there is someone I must introduce to you."
"Who......."
"Someone I like."
"Euing? D, don't tell me a girlfriend?"
"It is an auspicious event. The Bong family's lineage can be continued."
"...It couldn't be Jin-sook, sir. If it's Jin-sook, dating is okay, but marriage is opposed, sir."
What are they saying?
"It's not a girlfriend."
"Yes?"
"I'll call him."
He took a deep breath once.
"Rajix designated summon!"
The summoned entities startled in surprise.
"Eng?"
"Heok!"
"Oh!"
"Ah......."
"Already?"
Rajix? Really Rajix?
And, Spot!
"Ho-a-at!!!"
A fluffy furball revealing its appearance with both hands raised briskly.
"Ho-e! He's here."
"It's Ho-e, Ho-e-e-eng!!!"
"Long live Ho-eng!"
"It's not Ho-e anymore, sir. It's Ho-a-at, sir. His vocabulary has increased, sir."
"Heo-heo-heo, welcome."
"This girl, admiration flows out spontaneously. To think it is such a reliable appearance."
"Salute to Master Sergeant Veronica Caliber, Supply Staff Commander! Pil-seung!"
Even the Blood Wolf, who was patrolling the surroundings after being assigned the mission as the guard dog for the Pyongyang Black Tower printing factory.
"Keong-keong-keong-keong!"
As soon as he saw Rajix, he rushed at him, spinning his tail like a propeller.
"Hu-i?"
"Kki-i-ing!"
Hal-jjak-hal-jjak!
The Blood Wolf licking Rajix's face continuously.
"Come come, what are you doing, sir? We have to toss him in the air once, sir."
Thus, Rajix's body lifting briskly into the sky above the Pyongyang Black Tower.
"Ho-ra-ra-ra-rat!"
Our Dimensional Farmhand, he's not scared even when getting tossed in the air now.
He was even enjoying it.
Doing a somersault paeng-geu-reu-reu, spinning.
A point of curiosity around here.
Just how much has his practical ability developed?
Even when he was an SSR grade, the rule breaker Rajix made decent LSSRs freak out.
I sincerely want to know, but.......
'Well, is there any rush?'
I just have to find out slowly.
Originally, the rule is to save delicious things to eat later.
*
White Tower 17th floor.
Dimensional Farmhand Rajix.
A welcoming ceremony to congratulate his breakthrough.
The summoned entities as well as CEO Jeong Dong-hoon were invited.
"CEO Jeong-nim, welcome. Has your magic improved a lot?"
"Th, thanks to my Master......."
Can Commissioner Jeon Kwang-il be left out too?
He paused the work he was doing at Joo-hyuk's summon and went to the White Tower.
"Oh! Commissioner Jeon, I watched the press conference well. Your eloquence was flowing like water."
"I heard it too, sir. Our Awakening Management Agency is on the players' side, sir! Kya! It was touching, sir."
"As expected, you qualify to do great things."
Jung Dong-hoon and Jeon Kwang-il also congratulated Rajix who had broken through his grade and returned.
It seems they prepared gifts in advance too.
Jung Dong-hoon to Rajix.
"Founder-nim, it's a specially custom-made item. It will fit you perfectly."
"Hu-a?"
Sunglasses perfectly tailored to Rajix's face size.
Even with a chain attached to the temples so they won't fall off.
"Oh-oh-oh! Charisma!"
"Ho-eng!"
"You look like a special secret agent, sir."
"Ho-a?"
"It suits the Supply Staff Commander-nim so well."
Tti-ring!
: Cute.
Rajix's puffed-up chest fully filled with air.
Mackenzie specially shone a spotlight magic on him.
Rajix toddling around a-jang-a-jang while shrugging his shoulders high.
A focused illumination following him simultaneously, together with fireworks exploding above his head.
Peong-peong-peong-peong!
"Ho-a-a-at!"
Rajix letting out a confident spirited yell with a satisfied expression.
"Ayu, it's the footsteps of an LSSR, sir."
"This girl, I am so pleased I wish to hug him."
"His safety helmet is cool too."
"Right, the gold was too tacky. Platinum is more luxurious."
Let's prepare for the party.
First taking out chairs and a table.......
But Rajix suddenly lifting his hand seu-euk.
Then!
Pa-ba-ba-ba-bak!
Tables and chairs appearing in an instant, and well-prepared food on top of them.
"Wow!"
"One-touch table setting!"
"This is exactly an LSSR!!!"
A noisy and bustling feast continued.
Rajix rolling around de-gul-de-gul, Master Sergeant Be singing a song, Gyeon Dal-rae dancing.......
That noisy and bustling feast also ended.
The first thing the Dimensional Farmhand did?
Of course it was cleaning.
Honestly, while Rajix vacated his seat to do his grade breakthrough, the 17th floor was a mess.
Going to the residential area and starting cleaning, after that sweeping the landmark building too, the roads too, and maintaining the warehouse too.
The last was Magical Engineer El's workshop.
This place was the dirtiest indeed.
"Hu-a-a-a-wa?"
After being shocked seeing the scene reminiscent of a garbage dump.
De-gu-reu-reu, sseuk-sseuk, de-gu-reu-reu, ssak-ssak.
He truly works so hard.
That didn't mean it took a long time either.
Once he sweeps through once, cleaning finished.
Beon-jjeok-beon-jjeok!
Even a luster flowed on the path he passed.
As expected of an LSSR farmhand's cleaning skill.
Joo-hyuk fell into the sight of Rajix cleaning.
There's a fun in watching this.
The sight of a dirty garbage dump turning into a neatly organized space step by step.
'This kind of thing is healing.'
Magical Engineer El also just watched blankly holding a strange stick.
A stick.
Why is she holding that?
It seems she's holding it in her hand lest Rajix mistakes it for garbage and throws it away.
Hold on!
That's something I've seen a lot.
Its appearance is similar to.......
'A magic gun?'
Right!
It's a magic gun.
It was similar to that magic gun Sergeant Be carried around during his SR days.
An old-fashioned magic gun, that is.
"El-ssi, is that perhaps a magic gun?"
"Yes, I tried manufacturing it for giant monster subjugation."
It was a rental magic gun.
She had mentioned a while ago that she would try making it.
So that other players could clear the 81st floor.
"It is an early version magic gun."
"Does this also use Mana Stone bullets?"
"No. I specially manufactured the bullets."
Saying that, she opened a wooden box placed in the corner of the workshop.
"Here, these are the bullets. The attribute of the applied bullet is different depending on the monster type."
"Aha!"
"This is the Awl Delayed Explosion Bullet magic gun, specialized for the 81st floor Behemoth. It burrows deep into the body and explodes from the inside."
The 82nd floor too.
"The 82nd floor is a Sawtooth Blade Rotation Bullet, conceived from the part that the Apophis' skin is comparatively weak. The bullet size is small but it tears the punk apart with rotation."
What about the 83rd floor?
"Wide-Area Incendiary Bullet, a special bullet Mackenzie-ssi enchanted with Fire-type magic. It burns everything cleanly."
The 83rd floor has the Spider Queen and hatchlings coming out, so burning them is correct.
At any rate, the bullets inside the box were 3 types in total.
"I haven't been able to produce it as it is still under research, but I plan to apply a Deadly Poison Wedge Bullet for the 84th floor Colossus Condor."
Deadly poison.
Since there is an alchemist, creating poison is a piece of cake.
"Would the 85th floor be possible too?"
"Yes, I am planning to try making an EMP bomb in bullet form."
As expected of a magical engineer.
To already whip up 3 types of attribute bullets in a flash.
"It was a lot of help having the special metals, parts, and magic power circuits acquired from the Gigant. If it wasn't for Rajix-ssi over there, it would have taken much longer."
Even humble.
"Can I try holding that magic gun too......."
"Whenever you like. But because it is a prototype, it falls short a lot."
Holding it, it's quite heavy.
"A homing function is not included. It will take a very long time to put that in."
It brings back new emotions.
Memories of the past suffering during my military days came to mind.
How was Joo-hyuk's military life?
It was surprisingly okay.
Because of the ability to read the atmosphere hardened by years of survival instinct.
My tact at least was incredibly good.
"Can I try shooting it?"
"Yes, I will set up a target board."
"Let's shoot it in actual combat instead of a target. Starting from the 81st floor."
Shall I gather the people?
A tower clear for the first time in a while.
The purpose is an actual combat experiment for the prototype magic gun.
*
Joo-hyuk convened the summoned entities.
Do we need many personnel to go experiment with a prototype magic gun?
Exactly only the necessary people.
The rest guard the Pyongyang Black Tower factory.
Cossack, Gobang, Gwangma, Master Sergeant Be, Mackenzie, Gyeon Dal-rae, Magical Engineer El, and Rajix.
[Entering Republic of Korea Black Tower (NO.1) 81st floor.]
Receiving the mission.
[81st Floor Mission : Hunt 1 Giant Monster Behemoth.]
[Completion Time Limit : Within 15 hours]
A large-sized bear of tremendously huge build.
A quadrupedal giant land monster.
Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung!
Every time it takes a step, the ground heaves.
Seeing it again, it's really big.
Shall I try hitting it once?
"Do you perhaps have experience using a magic gun."
"Don't I just have to aim and pull the trigger?"
El nodded her head and answered.
"That is correct. However, a magic gun is fired using the user's magic power. The power also varies depending on the total amount of magic power. If you hold the handle here and blow magic power into it......."
Ah!
You need magic power.
That's why it's a magic gun.
"It will be difficult for you to hit it. Since it's fine even if you fail......."
Cossack interjecting at that moment.
"Ey, are you ignoring our military-served Summoner Bong-nim right now?"
Right.
What are you taking the proud military-served macho man of the Republic of Korea for.
It's such a big punk, it seems I'd hit it even if I shoot roughly.
"Isn't he the 100-shots-100-hits Sergeant Bong! Our Sergeant Bong-nim even received reward leave for a perfect firing score, didn't you know."
"Ho-e?"
"......."
No, why are you making up stories that aren't true.
Making a person feel burdened.
Especially Master Sergeant Be's sparkling eyes.
Carefully aiming at the Behemoth,
Through the handle, ji-i-i-ing magic power.......
'Eu-u.'
This would be fine if I just aimed, but as I try to blow magic power in at the same time, the gun barrel shakes violently.
'Still.......'
Putting strength into my index finger.
Keu-rik!
Ba-ju-ju-ju-juk!!!
At that moment!
"Heok!"
Tremendous recoil.
The muzzle lifted high upwards.
Sswae-ae-ae-aek!
The Awl Delayed Explosion Bullet flying as it cut through the air.
However, it became a dot and disappeared far away over the top of the Behemoth's head.
It was a long way off from the target.
Because it missed so absurdly, the Behemoth didn't even know an attack had come its way.
So it didn't even look this way.
"I, it's a home run, sir."
"......."
Jji-rit! The summoned entities glaring murderously at Cossack's frivolous words.
Ah-ah-ah.
So embarrassing.
"How......?"
Master Sergeant Be quickly interrogated El.
"So it is a gun whose zero is not even set. How could you give such a defective magic gun to the Commander?"
"Master Sergeant Be's words are correct. It is the magic gun's fault."
"Unpleasant. With the gun barrel shaking like that when injecting magic power, even this old man cannot hit it."
"At the very least you should have attached a laser sight."
Cossack, who had called it a home run, also quickly.
"That Behemoth punk is at fault too, sir. When Summoner Bong-nim is personally shooting the gun, shouldn't he voluntarily shove his head out, sir?"
"The warrior shall go grab that punk's head."
"Ho-at!!!"
Magical Engineer El nodded her head without a single change in expression.
"It is my fault. It is a defective product."
"It is fine as long as you know."
"An LSSR magical engineer making this kind of gun, to make the Summoner-nim's mood uncomfortable."
"Comrade El! Self-criticize! Or else I will refer you to a people's trial with the authority of the People's Armed Forces Minister."
Please stop.
It's even more embarrassing.
"...I'll try shooting one more time."
Gulp.
Swallowing saliva.
Aiming, and magic power injection.
Ji-i-i-i-i.......
Deu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deu.
The vibrating magic gun.
This is hard to control.
Even though he himself is a level 86 player.
Gulp!
Concentration, and concentration again.
Recalling the experience of practicing shooting with a Go stone placed on the gun barrel.
Ba-ju-ju-ju-juk!!!
Sswae-ae-ae-aek!
Pa-at!
The subsequent recoil.
The bullet slightly missing over the Behemoth's head.
"Ah!"
"It is a pity."
"It's because of the wind, sir. The aim was accurate, sir."
"Hu-a-a-a......."
What wind!
Is the bullet a golf ball?
Still, it's a bit better than before.
Since the Behemoth stopped its movement and was glaring this way.
Should I keep shooting, or not?
There is no giving up.
I will hit it this time.
I have my face to save.
Let's gain strength Sergeant Bong.
Ji-i-i-i-ing!
Ba-ju-ju-ju-juk!
Sswae-ae-ae-aek!
Puk!
"Kku-ik?"
This time it accurately hit the Behemoth's torso.
This is exactly it!
"I am exactly the reserve forces Sergeant Bong Joo-hyuk!!!"
And peok!
A small explosion occurred in the Behemoth's body where the bullet entered.
Kku-e-e-e-ek!
The Behemoth suffering in pain.
Redemption success!
"100-shots-100-hits Sergeant Bong!!!"
"Your zero is now set."
"You are truly a sharpshooter."
"Ha-ha-ha, cool."
Clap-clap-clap-clap-clap!
Eu-hu, I barely managed to save my face.
A curiosity arising suddenly.
What about Master Sergeant Be?
"Would you like to try shooting?"
"Master Sergeant Veronica Caliber! I shall try."
"Since the zero isn't set, you might not hit it."
"It is fine."
Master Sergeant Be, receiving the prototype magic gun.
Right on time, the Behemoth charging towards this side full of anger.
Kung-kung-kung-kung!
Master Sergeant Be mounted the magic gun firmly on her shoulder.
There wasn't even anything to call aiming.
Injecting magic power was quick too.
The gun barrel did not even vibrate.
So she fired as soon as she mounted it.
Jji-ing!
Pa-juk!
Recoil?
An extremely minuscule level for Master Sergeant Be.
Therefore, there was no swaying whatsoever either.
Puk!
The bullet accurately hit the Behemoth's knee.
A moment later.
Peo-eok!
Even the delayed explosion.
Kung! The collapsing Behemoth.
'Hmm.'
The dimension is definitely different.
She shoots too easily, and hits it too simply.
"Geez, Master Sergeant Be so tactlessly, you hit that just like that?"
"A waste of Master Sergeant experience."
"Is she bragging about shooting guns well?"
"Haven't you played military soccer, ma'am? Huh? Just like how you voluntarily fall down if a superior is the striker, you should make it intentionally miss."
"......."
By the way, it seems ordinary players will have a hard time handling this magic gun.
Not only is it hard to control because the vibration of the magic gun is too strong when injecting magic power, how are they supposed to overcome the tremendous recoil as well?
"I will try making it again."
El reflecting.
However Cossack.
"It's fine, sir. You made it very well, sir. I commend you, Magical Engineer."
"Why?"
"Wasn't it made to rent out to other players anyway, sir?"
That is true.
"We just have to do bullet business, sir. The bullets must not hit well for more bullets to be sold, sir."
A merchant mindset down to the bone.
Still, the only person worrying about my bank account is Cossack.
