109. The Village That Should Not Be Taunted

Oh Hyun-seong has been on a ‘special diet’ and practicing for the past few days.

It’s like going back in time with intense training, along with special foods that have amazing effects just by eating them.

To what extent has the body changed as a result of the effects of special crops that have permanent effects?

Also, how much of a difference in the range of motion is there due to that change?

Since even small changes can have a big impact in real life, it is not just about eating, but also about practicing and playing a measuring role.

The changes that emerged were quite dazzling.

Thud thud thud.

Oh Hyeon-seong clenched and unclenched his fist, leaving a huge mark on the cliff.

‘As expected, it’s incomparable to the effects before.’

Although it was a small amount, epic-grade crops came out every day, and if you harvested them and continued to consume them, the cumulative effect was huge.

Of course, since the absolute value of his original ability was very high, it wouldn’t be a dramatic change in percentage terms.

However, the absolute value given by epic grade crops is also incomparably higher than what has been achieved so far.

Even he could clearly feel the change in himself.

“S… Master?”

“hmm?”

At that moment, I discovered Joo Ji-hye appearing from behind.

“What, how did I find it?”

“I was coming up to the reservoir when I felt an unusual vibration, so I came to check. But… what happened?”

Joo Ji-hye looked at the cliff with eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and fear.

She originally knew well about Oh Hyeon-seong’s abilities, but she felt no trace of magic on that cliff.

That these are not traces carved with spirit magic.

But the question is whether a human being can really create such traces with his bare body.

“Huh… Are you by any chance a humanoid monster with a hidden identity? I heard that there used to be a monster like that among the named monsters.”

“You’re talking nonsense again.”

Oh Hyeon-seong, who clicked his tongue, picked up the sword that was tilted at an angle and nodded.

Then she followed him obediently, and they began to walk down towards the house.

“So what’s going on here?”

“What’s going on? A cute disciple who is so precious that I wouldn’t mind putting him in my eye came to see my master.”

Joo Ji-hye said with one eye slightly closed and an unidentifiable gesture.

You shouldn’t laugh at something like this.

He shook his head and turned his gaze.

“Anyway, it looks like you’ve finished all the schedules you worked so hard for?”

“Yes. I was running around like crazy before my beauty faded. Haven’t you heard much about me?”

“Oh, I haven’t been watching the news lately, I’ve been busy training.”

“You’ve already retired, so how much stronger are you going to train to become…”

“It’s the same as you always worrying about your appearance.”

Joo Ji-hye is a top-class actress and hunter who is admired by everyone for her natural looks.

It is an objective fact that anyone can see that she is beautiful.

But even she was so concerned about her appearance that she even went so far as to say that her skin improved after eating the salmon from this place, so it was an appropriate metaphor.

But after hearing his words, Joo Ji-hye’s cheeks suddenly turned red as she was thinking about something.

“Wow, wow, was that just plotting?”

“What? What kind of dating?”

“… no.”

Joo Ji-hye, whose expression suddenly cooled, shook her head.

It’s unlikely that someone who doesn’t even know what the word plotting means would have intended it.

“I got excited for no reason. Anyway! Thanks to you, I was able to wear my beauty well.”

“So does that mean things are back to how they were now?”

“Look at this, it’s completely flaky. It’s lost all its shine.”

“I honestly don’t know what the difference is.”

“Master, since you were born with it, I don’t think you’ll mind. For a high-level awakened person, I have sensitive skin, so I’m sensitive to changes.”

Joo Ji-hye grumbles and speaks.

Oh Hyun-seong, who had been walking quietly, raised his eyebrows and spoke.

“Ah, I think I know now. The reason you came here was to ask for that salmon again, right?”

“Ha… haha… that’s not it.”

“No, I guess I need to learn how to control my facial expressions.”

“No, I’m an actor who knows everything about this side of things. You’re saying that the teacher is strange.”

Joo Ji-hye said as if she felt wronged.

For her, a top-class actress, managing her facial expressions was a piece of cake, but for Oh Hyun-seong in particular, no matter what she did, it felt like her true feelings were clearly visible.

No, it’s not a feeling, it’s a fact.

When it comes to looking into people’s minds, she has never met anyone who is more skilled than CEO Choi Jeong-il.

Meanwhile, when they arrived home, they took off their coats in the living room and talked.

“Ahem, this wasn’t my original purpose, but since we’re on the subject… No, don’t laugh. Since we’re on the subject, do you have any salmon you caught?”

“Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to go fishing, let alone catch salmon. I’ve been busy with farming these days.”

“That… That can’t be…”

“And I told you, not all salmon caught in the reservoir have this effect, but that one was particularly special.”

Joo Ji-hye’s expression turned gloomy at his words.

The drooping eyes that seemed to have lost everything in the world and did not suit him at all did evoke sympathy, but it was an unavoidable fact.

In the present field, it is not difficult to obtain special crops with special effects, but the reservoir on the mountain behind was a completely different situation.

Even the odds of catching a special, rare item of the lowest grade were extremely low, and even if you managed to overcome those odds, the odds of it being a salmon among the many species living in the reservoir were even lower.

‘Oh, but there were some substitutes among the crops growing in the field.’

A special crop came to mind that, while not exactly the same as salmon, had similar, potentially helpful external effects.

However, Oh Hyun-seong turned his gaze, looked at his watch for a moment, and tilted his head.

That’s because the person who was supposed to be here by now is no longer home.

‘You said you’d stop by to share something with me, but you’re not home and I haven’t heard from you yet.’

Yoo Seung-soo and Yoo Eun-ha.

The target is the Yu siblings who live next door.

There was no reply to the text I sent earlier, and I thought something else had come up, so I called, but this time he didn’t answer.

“Hmm, what is it, even the Milky Way guy isn’t accepting it.”

Even if Seungsoo Yoo didn’t know, Eunha Yoo was the type of person who never let go of her cell phone.

Not only have I never missed a call, I have never had to wait more than a minute to respond.

Rather, he was the one being nagged to look at his phone and live.

But it was quite strange that the two siblings didn’t contact each other for so long.

“What happened?”

“By any chance… is it that a lurking monster has appeared again like last time? They say that where a lurking monster has made its nest, monsters tend to gather there too.”

“The fact that a lurking monster has made a nest means that it’s a pretty good environment for monsters. But… that can’t be happening.”

After the last incident, Oh Hyeon-seong would periodically walk around the village to check for any traces of monsters.

Changyeong-ri is his quiet and peaceful home after he chose to return to farming.

He never wanted the peace of Changyeong-ri to be broken, as it was practically an ideal place for him.

“…I should go there at least once.”

Since it wasn’t that far anyway, it was easier to just go and check it out for yourself rather than just thinking about this and that.

However, Joo Ji-hye hurriedly followed Oh Hyeon-seong, who had picked up his coat.

“I, I’ll go with you!”

“Why?”

“It’s better to walk together than to walk alone.”

Joo Ji-hye stands next to me, smiling bashfully.

Oh Hyun-seong shrugged and led her to the siblings’ house.

As I walked along the C course for my morning jogging, I saw a wooden house in the forest in the distance.

But the commotion was so loud that it could be heard from far away.

Oh Hyun-seong, who quickly approached wondering what was going on, entered the half-open door of the house and soon saw the living room in disarray.

“Ugh…”

The image of Yoo Seung-soo sitting down in the middle of the living room.

He was half-reclined on the sofa, clutching his head, hot blood streaming from his forehead.

“Tongue… bro?”

“Yoo Seung-soo! What’s going on? Did a monster come in?”

“Ah, no… not a monster…”

Wow!

At that moment, a loud noise was heard from the kitchen.

Amid the sound of dishes breaking, a woman’s scream was heard.

Oh Hyun-seong noticed that it was Eun-ha Yoo’s voice and ran straight towards it.

“Hey, stop it now!”

“Stop it? Stop doing whatever you want, you bitch!”

Kwak!

The fat man grabbed Eunha Yoo’s hair.

The man grabbed her so tightly that Eun-ha lost her balance and fell to the floor before she could even scream, and the man grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards him.

Eunha Yoo, who was being treated like an object and falling here and there, looked up at him with a bewildered expression.

“What if you come now and make a pitiful expression? If only you had cooperated earlier…”

Ugh.

A hand was placed over the one that was pulling his hair.

The man’s expression suddenly distorted at the sight of Oh Hyeon-seong suddenly appearing and interfering.

“What the hell are you doing…! Kkaaaak!”

A man with a twisted wrist screamed, making a pig-snapping sound.

A man’s arm, folded to the bone.

But when he opened his mouth wide as if to make more noise, Oh Hyun-seong simply threw him away.

A man who was pinned to a kitchen drawer lost consciousness and was foaming at the mouth.

“Oh, bro! You shouldn’t interfere! There are other guys outside right now!”

“The other guys? Who are they?”

“Get out of here quickly…!”

Boom!

At that moment, men from upstairs and other rooms, perhaps having heard the commotion, rushed into the kitchen.

“What’s up with that kid all of a sudden?”

“Hey, do you want to lose?”

Large, tattooed men, all of them.

Eunha Yoo’s face turned pale when she saw them.

‘Ah… no… I can’t believe I got my brother involved too…’

It’s not just about numbers.

Except for the man who had just collapsed, all of the others were Awakened, not ordinary people.

A normal person can never physically defeat an awakened person.

Although Oh Hyeon-seong had worked at the management office, he was only a regular employee and not an Awakened Person.

It is impossible to handle even one of them, let alone several of them.

However, Oh Hyeon-seong just sighed with a pitiful expression.

“Hey, you dumb? Should I make a new hole in your throat?”

“You guys really are a bunch of people with no answers.”

Before they knew it, Joo Ji-hye was standing behind them.

The men were shocked when they were caught without even noticing the slightest movement.

“Oh… where have I seen your face…”

Damn it.

At that moment, Oh Hyeon-seong strode forward.

“Just wait. Even if you don’t know where they came from, you’ll definitely get a feel for what kind of place this town is.”
