Steel eating player chapter 26
Cheongdam-dong, an unexpected event-1

==========================

“······How was that possible?”

When Lee Hyun-wook’s report was over, General Choi Jeong-cheol asked in silence.

“Well, looking at your profile, it says that you can control 300g, but when you hear the story you just reported, it seems like you’ve moved that many times, isn’t I wrong?”

Jo Gon-jo-gon said with a smile on his mouth with a warm impression.

However, Lee Hyun-wook knew well that he was never an easy person.

In a few years, he will be called one of the defenders of the Republic of Korea.

‘If you’re afraid, the Necromancer is the most alert, so he’s a figure who attempted an assassination early on.’

Six years later, Jeong-cheol Choi stops the first invasion of the Necromancer Corps from the north.

Ten thousand undead troops, the army of immortals that persist without dying, are swept away with persistently burning flames, turning them into irreproducible ashes.

‘If Inferno is a rocket cannon that can fire indefinitely, Choi Jeong-cheol is just one tactical nuclear bomb.’

It was possible because it was’Archmage’, which is the best characteristic of the magician line, and it was only able to grow focusing on range and destructive power by excluding all other magic.

It was so deformed, but it was a definite military force.

But in the end, the fire of Seoul and the fire of Busan,

Both flames extinguished and the Korean peninsula was immersed in darkness.

······After a short thought, Lee Hyun-wook nodded and answered Choi Jeong-cheol’s question.

“Some time ago, my ability improved as the message of breaking my achievements came to mind. As the brigade commander said, I was able to control 15kg, not 300g, and I got some skills.”

15kg, open the ability to increase at the right line.

“Well, it’s an achievement….”

In this game, the’achievement system’ was as rare as the’quest’.

“Exactly, when I caught the 3rd elite monster, I got an achievement called 〈Dunjae’s Rebellion〉, but I think it’s probably an achievement that can’t be gained by a characteristic that cannot increase its ability.

I also added the plausible details prepared in advance.

Choi Jung-cheol seemed to be a little worried, but soon became suspicious.

It was a time when there was no room for growth in “F grade” yet.

No matter how much I thought about it, there would be no other explanation than the achievement.

“……Yeah, if it’s such an achievement, it’s a story that’s possible enough.”

Choi Jeong-cheol looked back to Kim Gang-seok.

And with a meaningful smile.

“The battalion commander, then this guy can’t really be considered an F-class, right?”

“Dear brigade, in my view, as a soldier, your qualifications have already exceeded that limit.”

“Hahaha, yes, I admit it. The battalion commander was a friend with reason to praise.”

According to the formula that it cannot grow, it will be F-class, but its actual combat power is C-class or higher.

With this, even the biggest obstacle to the appointment of an officer was removed…, Kim Gang-seok thought.

“Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, again, you did a great job. It wasn’t just that he performed the operation well as an AMT member, but rather many lives… Yes, should we say that he has saved one aspect of society….”

Choi Jung-cheol stretched out his short arm and struck Lee Hyun-wook’s shoulder.

“If so, there must be a reward, right?”

Again, of course.

“Do you have any items you want? Well, say anything like magic armor or something.”

Unfortunately, I did not know what items were in the brigade’s arsenal.

‘There is no need for armor because something similar will occur once the metal is absorbed.’

So I couldn’t point out something and talk about it…

‘A weapon that will be needed soon…… Yes, I have to ask for it.’

Lee Hyun-wook nodded.

“Yes, thank you very much. There are a few items you need…”

“Yes, speak comfortably. I’ll tell you.”

“I would like to have a weapon with divine power. It would be nice to have two one-handed swords.”

It is a divine power, literally a sacred power.

It was the power that was the basis of the Priest and Paladin, and was the opposite of the power of darkness.

In other words, it is very effective when dealing with the Undead or Ghost series.

‘The divine power must be steadily increased for the future.’

It was because of a name that came to mind again.

On the other hand, Choi Jeong-cheol was a puzzled expression.

“Well, your abilities would not have anything to do with the divine power?”

“Yes. But…… I felt the need to have weapons of various attributes this time.”

“Why?”

“The spider-shaped monster that appeared in this Unlucky Event was virtually negligible in physical damage. It must be the AMT operation that we do not know what kind of characteristics and properties we will face with monsters like this… I was thinking that I should have it.”

Choi Jung-cheol nodded as he looked around.

“Oh…… you’re a thorough friend. Yes, I have an attitude to learn through experience and I love it!”

“Thank you.”

“Yes, I’ll tell the military and I’ll pick out a few bags as a good guy, so you can pack any number of them.”

Choi Jung-cheol didn’t put much emphasis on the attitude of a soldier, so this line wouldn’t be a big score, but Kim Gang-seok was smiling happily because he was satisfied with every word.

“······Ah! And shouldn’t we put another stick on the chest this time, battalion commander?”

“Yes, even if it wasn’t, I tried to ask it. If you allow it, I will do it.”

In Corporal, it meant one more stick and a sergeant.

In other words, it is a special promotion.

The promotion to the top was about two months later.

‘It looks like you’re building a pre-building to make it an officer….’

Lee Hyun-wook noticed what the intention of these two was to lower the special promotion.

I’m sorry, but I was never going to fit into that plan.

“Then, from a few days later, you will become Sergeant Lee Hyun-wook?”

“Thank you. I will work harder in the future.”

“Hmm, no. If you work harder than now, it will be a big deal, you!”

“······Yes?”

“To do that, you’ll have to catch at least Drake! Hahaha!”

Choi Jung-cheol joked and laughed openly.

***

Lee Hyun-wook asked the brigade commander for one more thing.

‘Brigger commander, I hope that this incident won’t reveal my face.’

There was no advantage at all when the face was revealed under full sky.

However, this was a welcome decision from AMT’s point of view.

If civilian guilds look at the soldiers they want to raise, they will get tired.

Therefore, Lee Hyun-wook’s existence was not revealed even in the news dealing with this case.

-······The performance of AMT soldiers at the time of the Seoul Station Unlucky Event is being reported one after another. It means that only one soldier saved eight hundred citizens from monsters before King Kwon Han Tae-san entered, but the soldier’s identity has not been confirmed.

-······The citizens who were isolated at Seoul Station are saying in one voice that the AMT soldier saved them rather than Kwon Wang Han Tae-san, and that the hero deserves attention.

Of course, there was also a movement to report in detail.

It must have been the biggest concern of the public for now, so it was natural…

‘Anyway, after 4 days, there will be a big issue that will bury it all.’

The Seoul Station Unlucky Event was literally a precursor.

The 4th wave, which is about to begin, is in full swing….

All the gossip so far was going to become insignificant.

And Lee Hyun-wook was also planning to prepare for that time from now on.

By the way······.

-Until metal absorption (16:19:59) remains.

“It’s half a day.”

“Manana Mak Lir’s Secret Armor” was a difficult item to digest.

Even though the furnace was being rolled with an efficiency of 150% to enable daily life, it took the next 16 hours.

“Huh…… It’s still too much to absorb hero-grade items.”

Of course, there was a lot of work to be done in the meantime.

First of all, I was thinking of cashing out the “reward points” given by the brigade commander.

‘What I got from this award is 8,000 points….’

In terms of cash, it is about 12 million won.

And yesterday’s salary came in, so he got 2.3 million won more.

Lee Hyun-wook bought a lot of cashable items at the PX item store.

Then I called Chulsoo Park, and that same evening, Chulsoo Park visited me.

It was possible because it was not too far from Singil to Namsan.

Lee Hyun-wook sat face to face with Park Chul-soo in the meeting room.

“Hyung, I’m sorry to tell you to come. Because I am in a situation where I cannot move…”

“It’s okay, what’s going on?”

Lee Hyun-wook first brought out a paper bag.

It was 4 bottles of the finest milk powder.

“Once take this. They say it’s the best thing, but I don’t know what the kid is eating, but I picked it out.”

“Ah, thank you for all these things….”

Next, he handed over the Orb and asked him to cash out all of them and invest in stocks.

“Oh, and brother, I have one more request, I want you to go to the blacksmith’s alley.”

“Blacksmith alley? Why is there?”

On the business card of Craftsman Kang Jeong-du, he put out the items to order from him.

“A iron orb filled with divine power? Uh, okay. Why do you need that?”

“It’s because it’s all useful. If you tell the craftsman Kang my name, he will do it for you.”

“Because the investment in the Seongsu manufacturing industry and the price of items with divine power will rise soon… Oh, are you sure you are buying up?”

It is also quick to notice that Lee Hyun-wook is thinking in connection with the stock he asked to invest.

However, since he didn’t tell a decisive story, he couldn’t be able to figure out his Mac properly.

“No, could it be possible to buy 3 million won?”

“Well, I got it anyway. But are those stocks really rising? There was no related news?”

“Hyung, wait a bit. And make sure to invest in your brother too.”

“······.”

“Brother, trust me.”

“Yes, I got it.”

As the cataclysm begins soon, it will rise like the old bitcoin….

Lee Hyun-wook swallowed the word.

***

“What, why is there no one?”

When Lee Hyun-wook returned from the visitor room, the dormitory was empty.

I was thinking of taking all of them to training, but maybe they all went to any PX…He thought that, and went out of the barracks with a water bottle.

The furnace inside the body was in operation, but I couldn’t neglect the exercise.

To use the training ground, he had to wear a combat uniform, so Lee Hyun-wook reverted to a combat uniform.

And on the way to the training ground…

“······uh! Are you here?”

Ahn Min-tae and other squad members gathered near the iron bar.

And there were quite a few other squad soldiers.

They turned their heads as if they had promised Lee Hyun-wook’s appearance.

And each of them began to say hello.

“Ah, Corporal Hyun-wook Lee! Thank you!”

“You have a lot of work, hehe….”

No matter how much I look at this…

‘It feels like you’re getting attention from these sweaty boys?’

Lee Hyun-wook had no choice but to feel a strange burden.

Anyway, so it was like there were 10 people attached to 4 iron bars.

Saturated.

Until a few days ago, there was no one…

“······Well, what is it, why are there so many people?”

“Ah! Would you like to use this iron bar?”

A member of the 4th Squad said as he descended from the iron bar.

“No, you use it. I have to go to the training ground.”

“uh? Then can I go with you?”

The guy caught up with Lee Hyun-wook with a shuddered expression.

They usually did not pretend to know, but they pretend to be close to each other outright.

But there were three or four such guys, not one.

That’s how much they followed openly, and there were some kids who sneaked up from a distance.

‘······Why are these things like this?’

Min-tae Ahn smiled and stuck the closest.

“Hey, it’s like some kind of kid following me. Look at those expressions, hoping that even a piece of peep will fall.”

“What is that parable, Min-tae Ahn…… Is that the generation you followed the longevity?”

“Well, wouldn’t it just look like that?”

But when he arrived at the training ground, Lee Hyun-wook heard a funny story.

“······Junmo did her duel training?”

“Yes, that’s right. So I just went to the infirmary.”

When a group of recruits moves in, the odor of the seniors activates.

It was to attach a duel training between the recruits.

Park Joon-mo was also such a playfulness until he was given a bottle of water, but his record was a total defeat.

Really, I didn’t have any talents.

“Ha, the infirmary? Are you broken again?”

“Haha, no. It’s the opposite.”

“······Huh?”

“After breaking the other person’s nose, I electrocuted him and laid him on the other side.”

······Oh, what is it?

As Lee Hyun-wook made such an expression, Min-tae Ahn explained with a bloody smile.

“Park Jun-mo’s child, Corporal Hyun-wook Lee, has been very angry lately. Now, I have 5 sets of 7 to 8 pull-ups, and the training to deal with abilities is inexhaustible and bold.”

Come to think of it, it seems that the talents in dealing with electricity have increased considerably at Seoul Station.

“Oh, so it’s no way….”

Lee Hyun-wook looked around.

Now that these guys who have followed Hyun-wook Lee, Hyun-wook Lee are completely different, and even Park Jun-mo has improved, do you think there is something great about Lee Hyun-wook?

‘What do you think, it feels like being an instructor in Daechi-dong….’

Lee Hyun-wook didn’t know it, but there was a joke in the company, saying, “If you burn Lee Hyun-wook coins, you’ll get sick.”

Then, one more person approached.

“that······.”

It was Lee Won-seok, a large private soldier.

He carried a training greatsword on one shoulder.

“······Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee?”

When his thick voice rang in silence, everyone around him was forced to be nervous.

This is because I thought the relationship between the two who had been beaten a while ago was not very good.

Lee Hyun-wook, too, wondered if this child couldn’t wake up and had an argument again.

“······.”

However, it looked quite different from then.

Most of all, the gang he was carrying around like a folding screen, and my classmates were looking at this side, writhing from a distance.

“If the time is fine, I have a word for you.”

“What?”

“……Would you like to have another duel with me?”

Someone swallowed dry saliva at the remarks.

Are you saying you want to apply for a “Revenge Match” after sharpening your sword after the last defeat?

“······.”

A moment of silence…

Then Lee Won-seok became a confused expression at the moment.

“Ah! Well, I mean…… I’m not just arguing again, but to be honest….”

“······.”

“I, that…… I want to learn what my problem is!”

Lee Won-seok bowed his head.

“My, I want to apply for the NCO, but I think I’m not good enough!”

“······.”

This was also an embarrassing situation.

Oh Sang-guk and Gwak Jin-cheol, and the guy who used to hang out with them, bent his pride and taught him a few words to Lee Hyun-wook, who beat him up.

Lee Hyun-wook smiled.

“that is great.”

“Yes?”

“I also wished I had a training partner who was alive and moving, but come up.”

Lee Hyun-wook went up to the battle box and said.

“Oh, that…… huh…….”

Lee Won-seok’s expression turned white.

This is because the last nightmare came to mind.

“Why hate it?”

“Oh no! If you teach me, you can beat as much as you want! By the way, Corporal Hyun-wook Lee? I, Mo, I hope you don’t get a little choking on your throat…….”

Lee Hyun-wook shed his eyes.

“The top of the oaks uses grappling and ground skills, but you, a tank, are you going to run away if you meet those guys?”

“Ah······.”

Then he patted my cheek and jumped up to the battle box.

“Yes! Then I’ll be ready to pass out!”

This phenomenon, the interests and requests of the company members, was honestly annoying.

but······.

‘It’s very useful.’

Lee Hyun-wook thought it was a good thing.

4th wave…

It was necessary to use battalion troops to break through that long and long hell that was about to begin.

According to the original history, those who survive the 1st Battalion 1st Company after the 4th Wave…

‘······There were only 7 people including me.’

Yes, it was virtually annihilation.

‘But this time it will be different.’

Lee Hyun-wook looked at the company members who were training hard.

‘If they follow me well, they don’t just survive….’

He loosened his wrist and faced Lee Won-seok.

‘······You can eat the whole 4th wave.’

If sea fishing was to control and attack one gate, the fourth wave was like hunting and dismantling a giant whale.

In other words, it was never a problem that could be solved alone. As if operating a whaling boat through the ocean, a number of sailors had to join forces.

And as if supporting his aspirations, a system message came to mind.

-Metal absorption is complete. (Manana Mak Mir’s Secret Armor)

* Controllable metal weight has been increased. : 2,961g

‘Heroic grade armor, finally absorbed.’

-Currently maneuverable’metal’ weight: 21,358g

At once, 2.9kg increased, and metal control exceeded 20kg.

However, this was just the beginning.

– Congratulations! By satisfying the special conditions, the ‘reinforcement’ skill will be greatly enhanced!

Since the swallowed metal was a “armour” item, it was spontaneously fused with a similar “reinforcement”.

All of the options attached to the hero-grade armor, some of which would have been’skilled’.

The moment Lee Hyun-wook wants to check the details….

-Hook- Oh, the administration is preaching…

Something unexpected began.

-······Sergeant Lee Hyun-wook, Corporal Lee Hyun-wook, please go to the battalion commander’s office immediately. This is the battalion commander’s call. The abnormal propagation end.

With the call from the battalion commander on Saturday morning, I couldn’t even guess what the hell would be.

Lee Hyun-wook immediately headed to the blacksmith’s room.

And the moment you open the door of the battalion room,

“……If you send it there, all of our kids will die!”

The same voice as Kim Gang-seok’s yelling,

Lee Hyun-wook had no choice but to be embarrassed at the moment.

This is because I have never seen Kim Gang-seok screaming.

Someone was sitting in front of him.

He was a raid tactical education officer of the Black Tiger Army, and was a Chun Myeongho level.

The two turned their heads and looked at Lee Hyun-wook.

Their faces were hardened.

······By the way, everyone dies, what do you mean by this?
