Steel eating player chapter 32
Ready to meet the waves-2

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

Lee Hyun-wook took over the phone from Captain Kwak Yong-joon.

“Loyal! This is Corporal Lee Hyun-wook!”

Then, a blasphemous voice burst out over the phone.

– Hey! Huh, I live, live, live, I really see a guy like you for the first time!

At first glance, it seemed like a curse, but it was a very excited voice.

I had to do that.

‘Because you look at the tone of your voice, you got quite a lot?’

There is one play that prevails among high-ranking players.

It was an illegal gambling called the “gate game”.

Whenever Gates appear, they “bet” on a variety of topics.

Which targeting team will have a higher contribution, what boss monsters will appear, etc….

However, in this edition, Jeong Sang-sik would have earned a lot of Yoo Jae-hyuk’s money.

-······Hahhaha! What is the contribution, 100 percent? Hahaha! My true, what the hell did the Cheonghwa Guild go inside after failing 3 times and did it? Hahaha!

I call the soldier and talk very hesitantly.

Anyway, it meant that I was so excited, and this was a very good sign.

-Hmm, hmm, yeah! Did you say your name was Hyunwook Lee?

“Yes, that’s right.”

– amazing! Really amazing! Even if I did it, I didn’t know I would do it this perfectly!

“I didn’t do it alone. This was done by eight soldiers together.”

– then! Don’t worry about it all so not to be disappointed, I’ll take care of more than anything you can imagine! It will be many times more than all the reward points earned throughout the military life combined!

“Thank you, Commander!”

It sounds obvious, but if you were the commander of AMT Seoul Operations, you had enormous authority in all respects.

Therefore, Pale Note, even the hero-grade item, could be owned and transferred at his own discretion.

‘Yes, this man changed soldiers, but the rewards were as bold as the boldness.’

-And when I want to eat delicious food together and listen to the details in detail, is it okay?

“of course.”

-Yes, then go in today and have a good rest. I’ll tell you to get out of work for a few days!

“Yes! Okay! Loyalty!”

So the call ended.

“······Off, are you done?”

“Yes.”

Captain Kwak Yong-joon was soaked in cold sweat.

It wasn’t easy for Captain One to answer Three Star’s phone calls.

As I turned my head, Yu Hyeon-na was still standing there, staring at Lee Hyun-wook.

There was still a lot to say, waiting for this innocent woman while she was on the phone.

“Do you have anything left to say?”

“……But I have lost or lost, so if you have anything to ask for later, please tell me.”

He pretends to be uplifting to the end, even though his cheeks are all over.

I lost, so I get angry, but I’m sure I’m trying to keep face.

“Or…… Would you like to come to a good place in Cheonghwa? I’ll set up a spot for the target team.”

On the one hand, it’s also a hard time because he still wants to put it under him.

But at that, Seo Eun-ha stared at her and opened her mouth.

“Wait a minute, what are you doing now? Are you trying to take AMT power outright?”

“……I told you to leave and come in. What’s wrong with it?”

“What, what?”

“If you’re a soldier, you didn’t go because you wanted to join the AMT, and you must have been pulled. What is the soldier, your pet dog?”

“······.”

Honestly, that was so right, Seo Eun-ha couldn’t say anything.

Furthermore, Yu-na was using honorific words differently from usual now.

That meant that planting was very uncomfortable.

“······.”

Of course, Seo Eun-ha did not want to bend over easily, and he stared at her.

Thus, the two women felt an invisible ultra-low frequency between each other.

“Hmm-.”

In the end, Lee Hyun-wook coughed and intervened.

“……I’m sorry, but I don’t have any plans to join the Cheonghwa Guild right now.”

“Why? What about Cheonghwa?”

“I went in today and saw it, a little…….”

Lee Hyun-wook seemed to be gritty to speak, and smiled pretending to be weak.

“why? Look, what?”

“……The level wasn’t that high than I thought.”

“······.”

“And I wasn’t going to say this, but one sniper fell out and tried’Steel’. Haha…… Still, it is the best guild in Korea, but in many ways, I was disappointed.”

She opened and closed her mouth, hesitantly.

The contribution of the ambitious targeting team was 0%.

And Steele, that you’ve even done that embarrassing thing, you have no choice but to say…

Eventually, it turned red from both cheeks to the neck, and quickly turned around.

“……Whatever it is, you, don’t do anything stupid to remain in the army.”

Seo Eun-ha opened his axe’s eyes and glared at him, but he didn’t care.

“Since I bet, I think it makes sense, so I contact you with my business card and that number.”

At the end of the words, he turned nervously.

‘Yes, don’t worry, I’ll pay the wager properly.’

Several objects came to mind in Lee Hyun-wook’s mind.

***

In the truck returning to the unit, no one was sleeping even though the members of the special attack platoon were exhausted.

It was because I was hearing a very interesting story from Lee Hyun-wook.

That was a call with the commander saying that whatever you think you’ll get more than that.

“Five!”

“It’s great, it’s great……”

When I heard the story, everyone’s mouths began to rise.

“I will receive the commander’s reward for living, hahaha….”

As Lee Hyun-wook has already received several times, AMT’s rewards are paid as reward points or items.

To put it easily, it was a kind of incentive.

“I will never have an opportunity like this again, what the hell should I ask for? Will there be rumors that I received it well?”

“Shall we try to match the armor set at this moment? I couldn’t even pay it because it was expensive, but isn’t it perfect?”

When they were full of expectations and unfolding imagination, Lee Hyun-wook intervened.

“Wait a minute, I have an item I would like to recommend to all of you.”

Then everyone looked at Lee Hyun-wook with an expectant look.

“Five! What is that?”

Now, if you listen to Lee Hyun-wook’s words well, you believe that you will make rice cakes while sleeping.

“This time, unconditionally…… Receive a weapon containing divine power as a reward.”

But the moment I heard that, everyone couldn’t hide their puzzled expressions.

The divine power…

“······Oh, yeah? What is the reason?”

“If it’s divine, aren’t we…… useless except for healer, Minwook?”

As Choi Tae-yong said, divine power was a characteristic that had no universality.

In other words, like Priest and Paladin, it could be considered virtually useless unless the divine power itself affects the efficiency of the skill.

‘What should I say about this…?’

I couldn’t say that I would need it in the 4th wave.

Again, I have to look around in a plausible way….

“Have anyone heard of the news of the massive Undead Gate held in Siberia, Russia?”

“Well…… I haven’t heard of it.”

“Yes, I heard that by accident, a massive undead gate that occurred in Siberia, and it was discovered so late that a huge number of undead spread throughout Siberia.”

Somehow, gates in remote areas such as Siberia and Amazon could not be reacted immediately, and sometimes they were discovered a long time later and had already undergone dozens of eruptions.

“Oh…… Then, the demand for divine weapons, which is still valuable, will suddenly increase?”

Lee Hyun-wook nodded.

“Yes, it is a very secret information that cannot be disclosed, that the Russian No. 1 guild, 〈Muzestva Guild〉, is planning to prepare a large-scale temple. So, in the past, it would be more profitable to get the weapon you want by selling it later after receiving the sacred weapon with this reward.”

This was a red lie, but with a few details like this, I felt confident.

“Well…… But where on earth do you hear such news?”

Mintae Ahn asked, tilting his head.

“I told you I couldn’t reveal the source. Why shouldn’t I know this?”

“No, it doesn’t mean that, I’m really curious. Ah! I think you know him, the second daughter of the Cheonghwa Guild, but maybe…… That’s right, that’s right!”

Mintae Ahn found a plausible basis for himself.

In their eyes, it was a strange and unusual scene that the second daughter of the Cheonghwa Guild, who was also an A-class player, was interested in AMT soldiers.

That’s why I came to think that there was some kind of closeness between the two.

“It’s not like that, you don’t need to know.”

“Then, no way…… Like the company commander, Corporal Hyun-wook Lee also became the Cheonghwa Guild after he was discharged….”

“I said no.”

“But why the hell that woman…… Hmm, I see.”

In the eyes of Lee Hyun-wook, Ahn Min-tae nodded quietly.

“Anyway, do what I say. It’s a divine weapon.”

“Yes, I understand!”

“Thank you for good information!”

Soon comes a time when the “divine power” becomes effective more than anything else.

With this, the chances of survival of these guys, and furthermore, the chances of being active have increased.

***

“……That’s success!”

Someone came through the door of the 2nd dormitory.

Oh Sang-guk and Gwak Jin-cheol, who were watching TV, turned their heads frowning.

“Ah, Mr! I’m surprised…… what?”

“They, who started last night! It is said that the attack was successful!”

A special attack platoon only organized below level 18,

It was 16 hours after they left the company.

“What is that, the Cheonghwa Guild must have properly prepared and entered, is not it natural?”

Oh Sang-guk said as if it were polite.

“Not that!”

“Then what is it, man!”

“Ooh, our company’s kids, the contribution is…… times, a hundred percent!”

“······Huh?”

Sang-guk Oh and Jin-cheol Gwak faced each other and frowned.

Even if you catch only one monster in the dungeon, the contribution of the decimal point comes out.

However, it was practically impossible for one side to have 100% contribution.

Really, it was nonsense.

“G, damn it…… do it…….”

But now, when I think of Lee Hyun-wook, that guy’s face… it seemed possible for some reason.

Therefore, they tried to turn their heads to TV without any other denial.

However, it was hard for TV contents to come into my head.

‘How on earth can that be?’

The two of them began to shake their legs at the same time, with their eyes blanked.

This story was being dealt with throughout the company.

In the counseling room, five soldiers were sitting and talking.

“Wow…… Corporal Hyun-wook Lee, if this happens, is it virtually no more than Sergeant Choi Young-jun?”

“Ah, hey! No matter how it is, it is not. Have you seen Sergeant Choi Young-jun fight?”

“See, even when you were surrounded by four orcs, you just chopped it all up and came out. Hmmm, but shouldn’t it be the commanding ability, not personal force? Isn’t that the best?”

“Well, is that so? Well, it’s not something anyone can do…”

It even came to be identified with Choi Young-jun, who was now regarded as the strongest soldier in the battalion.

“······By the way, Sergeant Young-joon Choi will be returning on vacation soon, but it would be absurd to hear what happened in the meantime.”

“Huh? Why?”

“It would be funny that Corporal Hyun-wook Lee suddenly changed, but what would you think if he was put into an attack operation that he hadn’t even tried?”

“Ah······.”

And it wasn’t just the 1st Company that showed such a reaction.

“OMG! Is that the person? The man who commanded the closure of the Kobold Gate!”

It was a hot issue among the women of the 2nd Company sitting around the PX.

“Hey, that’s not all. During the Seoul Station Unlucky Event, the man who the brigade commander who came on the teleport looked for is the same person…… Crazy, really.”

“Hey- is it cool? Whenever I run into PX, I’ll have to get a number!”

“Hey, you said you don’t even care about a guy under C grade?”

“Huh, you seem to change your mind a little suddenly?”

In fact, he has become a celebrity.

***

During such a gossip, Lee Hyun-wook and nine people were ordered to be closed for 48 hours.

Of course, that didn’t mean it was stretched.

All of them slept for just six hours, got up, and immediately gathered to the training ground.

And according to Lee Hyun-wook’s instructions, they trained according to their roles.

“I didn’t know if training was so fun and rewarding.”

“Now I think I know why I really need this training and what needs to be supplemented.”

In particular, 6 out of 8 members of this special attack platoon were members of the 5th squad.

Therefore, the morale of Squad 5 soared to an unprecedented level.

“Sergeant Ahn Min-tae, can you now die with orcs?”

“Well, honestly, won’t it survive even if three or four orcs attack?”

Mintae Ahn’s level is already 20, and he has reached the upper-middle rank among the ranks of corporal in the 1st Company.

5 levels increase in 3 days…

It was an explosive growth because it was not encouraging.

“Big! You are now a real tanker.”

“Then what was a fake tank before then?”

“Well, honestly, wasn’t that a little bit like that?”

“Oh…… Taeyong Choi, don’t you hate to stand behind me in the next battle?”

“Oh, that’s a joke!”

And it was the next day.

In the morning, at the meeting time, the company commander came out and announced a special schedule.

“Uh, today, a special upgrade screening is going to be held, so if you want to see the screening, you can come to the administrative class and register. Of course, everyone knows that only those who have risen to level 5 or higher since the last screening are eligible?”

At the request of the battalion commander, AMT “player rating judges” came to the unit.

Normally, the ‘promotion review’ is conducted only during the ‘regular review period’, which is held every six months, but if there are players with explosive growth, they could apply for a level review at the discretion of the commander.

And this time it was a visit for’special attack platoon members’ no matter how much they look at.

“We will do well!”

“I will definitely come with an upgrade!”

Six squad members went to the promotion screening with full confidence.

And about 2 hours later…

Rattle!

As the dormitory opened, the squad members jumped in halfway with sweat.

“······.”

Their expressions were filled with joy somewhere.

It was enough to know the result without having to say it.

“······Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee! I’m also a D-class from now on! Hahaha!”

“And me and me too!”

“All of us have been promoted to D-class!”

As a result of the promotion test, 4 members of the 5th squad who participated went up from E to D.

“Yes, everyone worked hard.”

“Honestly, isn’t it all thanks to Corporal Lee Hyun-wook?”

“If you think so, do well in the future.”

“of course! I will do my allegiance!”

“Okay, it’s noisy, so don’t overdo it.”

Thus, rumors began to circulate that the support squad was going to be “reorganized.”

It was natural.

It was a preliminary fact that they already had more than the 3rd and 4th squads, which are the combat squads of the 2nd Platoon.

Even if Lee Hyun-wook commanded it, it was in the process of saying that it could be more than one squad.

And Lee Hyun-wook had the confidence to make it that way.

Also, their growth did not end here.

Now that we have achieved our ability to grow, it was time to taste the material growth.

-Hook! Oh, preaching in the administration group. Yesterday, the members of the special attack platoon who were engaged in the Red Gate attack, please go to the battalion arsenal immediately. I preach once again…

The squad members raised their heads at once on the broadcast.

“······That, isn’t it that you have delivered a package to us?”

“Oh, I think so! And the courier shipper, how! Are you not the commander?”

Excited, they rushed down towards the arsenal.

“Loyal! Thank you.”

“Uh, guys, what the hell is this……?”

The arsenal manager, Lieutenant Jung-tae Oh, looked stupid in the fisheye.

It was because a lot of weapons arrived in the name of the AMT Seoul Operation Commander.

While he was on duty, he had never seen anything like this.

“This is a reward item we received.”

“······Huh? Are you saying you’ve been rewarded by your commander?”

“Yes that’s right!”

Oh Jung-tae also knew that these were the lowest grade soldiers, so he looked puzzled.

In fact, it seemed that he had been abandoned and stuck here, and he had hardly heard the news from the battalion.

They opened their respective boxes and checked the award items.

They requested items with divine power according to their main items.

“It looks like something more brilliant because of the divine power.”

“It’s because of the mood.”

Of course, it also emits light in response to the power of darkness.

“Oh, but why did Corporal Hyun-wook Lee have two boxes?”

That was because the reward item requested from the brigade also arrived.

First of all, he opened the award box he received from the brigade commander.

There were two one-handed swords inside.

Both looked like the same model, but the blade was about 70cm long, and looked like Gladius, a Roman militant armament.

I picked up one of them.

S-Lung-

[Item information]

-Name: KG19 (Advanced)

-Effect: It has divine power.

It was not an item acquired in the dungeon, but an item manufactured in the AMT Armory.

If the general item is divided into 5 levels: Normal-Rare-Heroic-Legendary-Myth,

Manufacturing items are divided into five levels: General-Advanced-Skilled-Artisan-Master.

This weapon was of an advanced level, though, was light and had a good center of gravity.

‘It will be useful for a while.’

Then it was the turn of opening the second box, the reward sent by the commander.

“-Yup! What is it so heavy?”

Choi Tae-yong said as he brought the box.

But as Lee Hyun-wook lifted his finger, the box floated into the air and flew in front of Lee Hyun-wook.

“Five······.”

When I opened my finger again, the box opened with a clap sound.

Then the eyes of others widened.

“Wow, what, what are so many?”

“But what the hell is this……what is it used for?”

Inside, there was a lot of something specially made to order in preparation for the coming hell.

that’s······.

“Is this a stake…?”

There were as many as 30 silver iron stakes filled with divine power.
