it’s real
The friendly match ended so quickly.
It was because the purpose of the friendly battle was not to promote friendship, but to gauge the power of the meteor, so there was no longer any reason or need for sparring.
In just over a second, it is impossible for any contractor to put a heavily armored knight in a dying state with just one middle finger.
It’s not enough to compare with heroes who are commonly called strategic weapons, but this is enough to listen to the sound of tactical weapons.
“… … I will take you to the next place.”
Seeing cold sweat running down the bodyguard’s neck in the lead, Yooseong bit his lip slightly.
‘It was too much.’
Although it was necessary to show an overwhelming figure that ordinary contractors could not dare to dare, there was a line that had to be kept.
A hero who came to represent a country compared the powerful people of the country who were friendly rather than hostile to ants and belittled them.
It was a major incident that would cause a huge aftermath if known to the outside world.
‘Damn it, did you lose your sense of reality after playing around and crashing into the quest so recklessly? I’m going to turn around, really.’
From a small drop in the human reputation of Yuseong, to a large scale, there may be adverse effects on Korea-US diplomacy.
Yuseong, who got into the car along with the bodyguard, had no choice but to worry about how to deal with this throughout the journey.
However, to start with the conclusion, Yooseong has become useless.
“Welcome to America!”
“Mr. Yu, can you tell us more about what happened in the city of lizardmen?”
“How long do you plan to stay in America?”
None of the officials I met during the schedule brought up what had happened at the airbase, and reporters and ordinary people only asked trivial questions.
Fortunately, the United States seemed intent on making what it had done just never happen.
‘Well, that way would be better.’
It’s only the first day, and it’s not good to make things that will make your face red already.
What’s more, the saddest thing right now is the United States.
As a hero who managed to bring him back by scratching the whole world, the United States had no choice but to cover it even if Yooseong had a worse accident.
U.S. political dignitaries, owners of recognizable giant corporations, up-and-coming politicians, and famous entertainers and actors gathered together for a splendid party. As the world drifted away, he let out a long sigh.
It was all about moving here and there with a smile and making nice noises, but I felt much more tired than when I was doing quests or risking my life to fight monsters.
‘I want to sleep like this, but… … .’
Remembering the purpose of coming to America, Yooseong stood up and took out his smartphone.
It was in order to make a proper appointment with Made in USA, which repeats like a parrot, saying that you will know when you come to America without saying when and where to meet.
‘… … for a moment.’
Yooseong, who was about to enter as a messenger, suddenly remembered something and activated the Mystic Eye of Truth.
‘Maybe there is a wiretap or a camera.’
I thought it was unlikely that they would bother to watch over people who came to help their country, especially superhumans who transcended human limits, but there is always one thing.
Yuseong, who was slowly turning his head, found something in the corner at the moment and froze.
A mass of energy in human form was looking this way.
“… … .”
After staring at it for a long time without saying anything, the energy lump tilted its head, stood up, and started moving to another place.
Of course, Meteor’s gaze followed suit, and after repeating it several times, the energy mass made a gesture of raising both hands as if to show surrender.
“Wow, how did you find out? Cloaking would have been able to see through the space distortion device.”
“… … made in usa?”
“That’s a nickname, and my real name is Sophia Blanchett. nice to meet you Yuseong Han.”
“nice to see you. Sophia Blanchett.”
“Didn’t I tell you that you can talk comfortably? Feel free to call me Sofia.”
Yoosung glanced over at Sofia with trembling eyes.
Shoulder-length red hair and a strangely languid voice.
The identity of made in usa was a woman who seemed to be her own age.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Were you surprised that she was a woman?”
“No, I was surprised that he was secretly hiding in someone else’s room without saying anything. What is this? Were you spying on me?”
“Oh, that was not my intention. I was planning to meet secretly to avoid surveillance, but the timing to solve the distortion was late, so it seems that there was a misunderstanding. I apologize if I offended you.”
Yooseong looked at Sophia’s head down without hesitation, and shook her head with a sigh.
Kang Chang-seok took a user-friendly stance and had a personality, so he was able to go out a little bit, but he couldn’t do that to other users.
Meteor didn’t intend to be hostile to the user, unless he came out hostile first.
“You don’t have to apologize. Rather, speak comfortably.”
“I feel comfortable being polite. It’s amazing anyway.”
“Amazing. what?”
“Of course, it’s Yooseong-ssi’s ability. To be honest, I was looking down on Yoosung quite a bit. No, would it be more accurate to say that I didn’t expect much? But, like what happened at lunch, and how you saw through the space distortion device, you’ve been a user for about 4 months now, right? The rate of growth is unbelievable.”
“… … Is my growth on the fast side?”
Yooseong tilted his head at Sophia’s voice, which seemed to be sincerely admired.
Kang Chang-seok also said that he was unbelievable or surprised whenever he showed off his ability.
At that time, I thought it was just lip service and passed it on, but seeing other users showing similar reactions, it seemed that their growth was fast.
“It’s so fast! Excluding strength seems to be using a special skill or artifact… … What is the rank of the stat boost right now open in the Karma Shop?”
“Class D.”
“I don’t know how other users are, but it took me about 2 years to open the D-class stat boost. Even if you simply calculate it arithmetically, Yoosung is 5 times more than me… … . No, we can say that it is growing more than six times faster.”
“2 years?”
Yooseong’s eyes narrowed.
It was before the Dragonia incident that he opened the D-level ability increase right after completing the quest related to Aris.
[A girl who wants to be saved.] Considering the time limit of the quest, it’s about 50 days.
Even if you count it as two months, it is calculated that according to Sofia’s words, he is growing at a rate of more than 12 times hers.
No, maybe more than that.
After clearing [The Girl Who Wants Salvation.], the C-rank quest [The youngest disciple of Jincheonmu Family.] and the B-rank quest [The Distorted World.] have been cleared with SSS Rank, so the C-rank stats will rise sooner or later. There is nothing strange even if the volume is opened.
If so, it was not strange at all to calculate that there would be a difference of more than tens of times, not 12 times.
“Nonsense. It took 2 years to open the D-class ability increase right? There must have been a period in between when I didn’t use goggles.”
“no. I used goggles constantly. Even so, it took two years.”
An incomprehensible difference.
Yooseong, who was immersed in his thoughts, recalled what the Weapon Master had said when he first entered the community.
‘Obviously, it was said that more than 10 quests had to be cleared to rise from a beginner to a novice solver, and others seemed to agree with that opinion. I also said that clearing a high rank is close to impossible. Did my growth speed increase because I cleared high ranks?’
Sophia also opened her eyes wide as if she had come to the same conclusion.
“It seems that his growth has accelerated by clearing the quest at a high rank. What is the average clear rank?”
“Almost all of them were SSS ranks. you?”
“I was ranked E from D.”
“why? No, it’s not impossible to clear a high rank at all, right? Even if the SSS rank is difficult, if you care a little, it’s an A… … . No, you should have been able to aim for rank B to C, right?”
D to E rank is the degree to which you can narrowly avoid penalties.
It is a rank that can be obtained only by meeting the basic clear conditions without touching additional conditions beyond simply using a lot of skills or artifacts.
I don’t know if it was once or twice, but I couldn’t understand how he had been clearing the quest with such a low rank for a long time of two years.
“Yeah… … There was no particular reason to clear it with a high rank.”
“You can get extra rewards. Even if you catch it as a minimum, you can get rewards that are tens to tens of times the basic reward, isn’t it a waste?”
“On the contrary, it is that difficult. Even if it takes time, it’s easier to accumulate basic rewards by completing a lot of low-rank clears, even if it takes time, rather than risking difficulties and aiming for additional rewards when the rewards aren’t so desperate. There is an easy and convenient way, but there is no reason to go the difficult and difficult way, right?”
Let’s say you have a quest to catch a group of orcs.
In order to clear this quest at a high rank, you must kill the orc with only the abilities of the client, without using skills and artifacts from another world.
However, since the quest itself refers to a situation that is difficult to solve with the client’s abilities, it can’t be easier said than done.
Whether it’s a surprise attack, digging a trap, alienating others, or attracting other people or forces that have nothing to do with it, you have to go through all kinds of hardships.
On the other hand, low-rank clears don’t need to do that.

Just take a gun from Earth, pull the trigger, and that’s it.
The reward will be reduced by that much, but as Sofia said, just clearing several quests is enough, and if you are satisfied with the appropriate reward in the first place, there is no need to complete multiple quests.
‘… … If it hadn’t been for the monster invasion, I might have acted like Sophia.’
The reason why he was obsessed with high ranks was because there was a desperate reason for the monster invasion.
Even after securing safety, I heard the fun of performing the quest itself, and since I played consistently conscious of my rank from the beginning, I started aiming for a higher rank as if it were natural after that.
What if there hadn’t been a monster invasion?
Like Sophia, she would have been content with roughly performing quests and receiving basic rewards.
As she said, there would be no reason to go through hardships and aim for more rewards.
It was only then that Yoosung realized why users were divided into three levels, and why there was a huge difference in the skills of Kasim, who was three strong, and Changseok Kang, who was three weak.
Even if they spend the same amount of time to complete the same quest, those who clear it at a high rank get rewards that are dozens of times greater than those who clear it at a lower rank, and they can grow even faster.
As the number of quests cleared increased, the difference gradually accumulated, and it might become dozens of times, or even hundreds of times more.
“… … .”
“… … Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Why are my eyes?”
“I think it’s the eyes looking at someone in need.”
“It is an illusion. Let’s stop the small talk and move on to the main topic.”
Yooseong, who met Sophia’s eyes, spoke in a lower voice.
“They said there was a way to get a power generator right away.”
“Um, I did say that. But can I tell you that this is actually a problem in many ways… … .”
“Aren’t you stealing other people’s things?”
“uh? How did you know?”
“If you want to quickly get something that takes three years to formally produce, you have no choice but to bring something that has already been completed. If it’s from another world, it’s just a matter of telling the quest where the item is located, but if you look at the fact that he insisted on coming to the United States, it must mean that the item is already there somewhere in the United States. If you look at the expression “a way to obtain it,” it means that it belongs to someone else, not yours. out of it?”
“You are amazing. No way, I thought you could guess that far with that one word.”
Sophia, who clapped her hands admiringly, looked at the meteor with a serious expression and said,
“I will tell you. one thing before that. What I am about to tell you is a secret that should not be known to the world. Can you promise me that you will never tell the outside world what you heard here?”
“I promise.”
“like. The United States is building a spacecraft to escape Earth in top secrecy. There are things Yooseong wants.”
“… … What quest are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“It’s not a quest, it’s a real story.”
Yoosung’s expression twisted grotesquely.
this is not a game
