Chapter 199

“Never mind.”

Don’t be like that. Tell me. Can’t you tell me? Hey, you know I’m good at keeping secrets.

“It’s really nothing. The thing is... Min Sung has a tough personality. I have to be careful.”

Hm. That’s true. Since he’s an impressive man, you need to take good care of him. You must be having a hard time.

“That’s just life, haha.”

I feel like becoming friends with you was the best thing I did in my life.

“Don’t say that. Anyway, we’re in a rush, so please send it to us via express shipping.”

Don’t worry. I’ll send it to you in a flash.

“Great. Talk to you soon.”

Okay.

After hanging up the phone and putting out his cigarette, Ho Sung Lee immediately called General Ji Yoo Kim of Central Institute, but the ‘the recipient is unavailable at the moment’ message came on, so he failed to get through.

Ho Sung Lee tilted his head. He looked down at his phone and returned to Min Sung.

“Sir, I ordered the order sheets, but General Kim won’t answer the phone. Do you think something happened to her?”

“Turn on the TV.”

Ho Sung Lee found the remote. He pushed the things that were covering the TV aside and turned it on.

They scanned through the news, but there was nothing in particular.

“Central Institute would have called us if something happened. Start working.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee clapped his hands. He rubbed them together and then focused on leveling up the items.

After a short break, the factory operations started up again without a word.

Bowl also lit up his eyes with black flames and focused on leveling up the items with his small hands.

Meanwhile, Ssol scanned the items with a worried look on his face.

“Have you decided, General Kim?”

Ji Yoo Kim’s face was stiff and overcome with conflict.

Ji Yoo Kim’s secretary recognized that she needed more time.

The secretary greeted her and stepped out.

Once she was left alone, Ji Yoo Kim covered her eyes with her hands and sighed deeply.

There was no need for her to reveal to the world that the tree in Min Sung’s house had a gate connected to it.

After all, they were going to find out sooner or later.

The tree was being called the world tree and received lots of love and affection from people all over the world.

If this truth happened to get out, it wasn’t going to be easy dealing with the aftermath.

The public was going to feel betrayal, resentment, rage, and fear, and they didn’t have anything prepared to deal with the chaos that would result.

Ji Yoo Kim closed her eyes and made her decision.

Min Sung Kang was going to pass through the gate in the tree.

Just like how he stopped the Demonic Realm, he was going to stop this crisis as well.

This was the topic and message to be conveyed to the citizens.

Currently, even religious groups were forming around the mysterious tree in Min Sung’s house.

She had to reveal the truth as soon as possible and reassure the anxiousness of the citizens.

Since she made her decision, she couldn’t hesitate.

Ji Yoo Kim immediately acted on her decision.

***

The sorting was finally complete.

The only ones left were the +7 weapons and the +4 shields.

It was time for the real leveling up to begin.

It was time for their second round of leveling up.

They were all nervous but not Min Sung.

Min Sung was actually annoyed.

He didn’t like the fact that he had to rely on such weapons.

He pretended to be strong in front of that man, Mire Caste, in his dreams, but it was true that he was preparing for the next world.

After all, he was currently leveling up his items to prepare for that new world.

Min Sung clicked his tongue and acknowledged that he was feeling a sense of pressure from the new world.

He couldn’t move forward without acknowledging change.

This was the wisdom that he acquired after his 100 years in the Demonic Realm.

“Let’s begin.”

In response to Min Sung’s command, they began the 2nd round of leveling up.

Min Sung was in charge of the weapons while Ho Sung Lee, Bowl, and Ssol took care of the shields.

The higher the enchant number, the lower the chances of success.

For the weapons that were +7 or +8, the chances of success were just 30 percent, but since luck was a big part of it, it was more like 10 percent.

The chances of failing were very high.

For that reason...

Poof, poof, poof.

The items began evaporating as if they had never existed.

They disappeared so easily that they felt frustrated, but one weapon finally succeeded.

Since their objective was to gather the successful weapons to make one ultimate weapon, they agreed to gather the +8 weapons to one side.

“Wow! You succeeded. Congratulations!”

Ho Sung Lee jolted his eyes open and clapped his hands.

Bowl and Ssol also followed along and clapped with him.

Min Sung threw the ‘+8 Super Sword’ on the couch and went back to leveling up his items.

Min Sung thought that he at least needed a +9 sword to stand a chance.

+7, +8, +9.

They were only 1 point apart, but that made a big difference in their function.

The higher the number, the more damage it could cause, and on top of that, there were random hits and critical damage that could be made as well.

That was why Min Sung was greedy for leveling up his items.

He also experienced first-hand the utility of the weapons, so he continued to fulfill the boring and repetitive task.

***

The 2nd sorting was complete.

The items, which previously filled the entire house, shrunk to a much smaller number.

But in return, the remaining items were so powerful that it was suffocating.

The successfully leveled up items were as follows.

‘+8 Super Sword’ – 2

‘+8 Gungnir’ – 1

‘+8 Muramasa’ – 3

‘+8 Play Sword’ – 2

‘+8 Mythical Bow’ – 1

They ended up with a total of 9 +8 weapons.

Min Sung thought this was a small amount, but that was just his opinion.

The fact that he had 9 weapons that were +8 gave him an incredible amount of power.

What he reaped could be perceived as a huge blessing, but Min Sung just wanted one weapon that was the very best.

Among the 5 different types of weapons, the most effective one was the ‘+8 Gungnir’.

It was a valuable treasure that was used by Odin of Northern Europe.

Of course, this particular weapon was not used by Odin, but when looking at its abilities, it was definitely outstanding.

After all, even Min Sung, who didn’t care much for these weapons, worried about trying to make this particular one a +9.

“Sir, you should do the rest from now on. I’m too nervous to go on. Sigh.”

Ho Sung Lee scratched himself to get rid of the goosebumps.

It was understandable.

The weapons that remained were the very best.

They were difficult to find, and since they were even stronger now, just looking at them made Ho Sung Lee feel nervous.

“Let’s take care of the swords first.”

Min Sung picked up the three Muramasas out of the 5 different types of weapons.

The Muramasa was famous for being cursed with a dark enchantment.

Since the weapon was just average in terms of ability and power, Min Sung decided to level them up first.

If all three Muramasas happened to evaporate, that would mean that the chances of success would be a little higher for the next weapons he leveled up.

Min Sung placed the ‘+8 Muramasa’ on the table side by side and proceeded to level them up with the order sheets.

And the results were of satisfaction to Min Sung.

‘+8 Muramasa’ has evaporated.

‘+8 Muramasa’ has evaporated.

‘+8 Muramasa’ has evaporated.

All three of the Muramasa disappeared.

There was a feeling of emptiness that the weapons were gone, but since he was just trying to make one ultimate sword, the chances of success only got higher, so he wasn’t off to a bad start.

The problem was that it was possible for the other +8 weapons to evaporate as well.

However, Min Sung didn’t care about losing all his weapons, since he could just use the tree gate to find some more, so there was no hesitation.

While Ho Sung Lee, Bowl, and Ssol held their breath while watching...

Clack! Clack! Clack!

Min Sung put the remaining weapons on the table.

The weapons that were left were the Super Sword, Gungnir, the Play Sword, and the Mythical Bow.

Min Sung looked down at the weapons and thought about which weapon to sacrifice next after the 3 Muramasas.

And the first thing that Min Sung used his order sheet on was the Super Sword.

Ho Sung Lee nodded.

Since Ho Sung Lee was nervous that he could use the order sheet on the best weapon, Gungnir, he sighed out of relief when Min Sung made a different decision.

Since the weapons were so impressive that just watching made them suffocate, Ho Sung Lee, bowl, and Ssol were at their most anxious state.

The weapons that were placed on Min Sung’s table were some of the best in the entire world.

They were so impressive that not many stood a chance.

They tried not to think about the fact that they lost many other valuable weapons in the process.

That was because they were all focused on making one +9 weapon.

But all of a sudden...

“I’ll just do the Gungnir first.”

Min Sung changed the order of which one to level up first.

Ho Sung Lee looked at Min Sung in surprise.

“Huh?! You’re going to level up the Gungnir first? Wait, Sir, you just lost 3 weapons. That means it’s highly likely you’ll lose your 4th. What if you lose it...?”

Min Sung glared at the Gungnir and scoffed.
