Lee Jin-ah brought the golden skill page to Kim Woo-jin who silently stared at it for quite a long time.

“What? Are you so moved that you’re speechless?”

Kim Woo-jin shot a glance at Lee Jin-ah who had taken out a box of choco pies and began eating them after asking that question.

“I am touched.”

“Huh?”

At the unexpected answer, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but make a surprised expression.

What surprised him even more was that Kim Woo-jin’s face at that moment seemed to show that he actually meant what he said.

It was justified.

“The effort that Park Yong-wan put in for Isaac Ivanov would not have been so unusual.”

The price that Park Yong-wan must have paid to obtain the skill page could not be in any way small.

Moreover Park Yong-wan got this amazing item and gave it away to Isaac Ivanov absolutely for free.

‘I got a gift from the guy who sold his own country.’

There was no way that someone who was willing to sell their own country for their personal interests could have done something like this with a light heart.

‘That’s how urgent it is.’

On the other hand, this also meant that the situation that Park Yong-wan was in was far from good.

In fact it could be said to be downright bad.

At the moment he was in the middle of a war with the Skull Guild, fighting and killing each other on the surface and behind the Skull Guild was the Yamato Federation which was actively supported by the Japanese Government.

In this situation, he brought in the Frontier Guild to try to deal with the Skull Guild and they tried to eat him alive.

Though he’d managed to extricate himself from being eaten, Park Yong-wan still found it difficult to actually do anything about what happened.

‘The Messiah Guild won’t give up.’

Most importantly, he didn’t know it yet, but the Messiah Guild had already designated him as a target.

At least, before Kim Woo-jin returned to the past, there had never been anyone who had survived being targeted by the Messiah Guild.

They all ended up being hunted by the hunting dogs in the end.

‘The longer he lives, the more helpful he’ll be.’

At least for Kim Woo-jin, the longer Park Yong-wan stayed alive, the better.

After all, Park Yong-wan was blocking many arrows for Kim Woo-jin.

‘I can’t waste any time.’

He knew that there would come a day when his meat shield would disappear and then all the arrows that he had been blocking would come to him.

So what Kim Woo-jin needed to do, was to prepare for that day.

“Didn’t Oh Se-chan give you anything else?”

When he heard Kim Woo-jin’s question, Lee Jin-ah nodded and immediately held the back with the choco pie that he was eating, in his mouth.

Kim Woo-jin frowned a bit as he looked at him.

“Where do you get all these choco pies that you’re constantly eating?”

“Huh?”

A thought flashed in Lee Jin-ah’s mind for a moment.

‘Should I tell him that I’m eating his gift that Oh Se-chan took or stay silent?’

“Uh, that…I’ve been on a diet these past few days.”

“A diet?”

“Uh, that’s right…I’m on a diet where I only eat this instead of rice.”

It was absurd, but Kim Woo-jin nodded as if he was satisfied with the explanation.

“Right.”

Lee Jin-ah wondered if he suspected anything.

“I thought that it might be a gift that was sent for me and were treating it like your own snacks instead of telling me about it.”

“Th-, that’s not true. Would I really do that? A real man would never do something like that and I’m a real man.”

With an awkward laugh Lee Jin-ah hurriedly handed a document that he took out over to Kim Woo-jin.

“Look at this.”

As soon as Kim Woo-jin received it, Lee Jin-ah threw a question at him in a bid to change the topic.

“So what is that anyway?”

Kim Woo-jin responded briefly to his question.

“It’s a dungeon report.”

“A dungeon report? We’re entering another dungeon?”

Kim Woo-jin didn’t answer Lee Jin-ah’s following questions because he felt like they weren’t worth responding to.

Clearing dungeons until they die was the duty of all players.

“So where is it this time?”

Kim Woo-jin just handed the report over to him instead of answering him.

Lee Jin-ah who looked over the report couldn’t help but ask more questions with a hard face.

“Seven day survival? B+ rank? You have to kill monsters for seven days on the second floor instead of the first floor? Who would try to clear this crazy dungeon?”

Kim Woo-jin simply pointed his finger toward Lee Jin-ah instead of answering.

“Wa-, wait.”

Lee Jin-ah saw the finger and became frightened.

“The maximum number of entries is 60 people!”

Lee Jin-ah began speaking with a sincere but anxious expression.

“Wouldn’t it be too dangerous for just the two of us to do this? Seriously, that’s common sense isn’t it? Can we really handle the defense of 60 people with just us? Huh? It would be way too hard.”

His words weren’t wrong.

Dungeons with survival quests usually had many more monsters than normal dungeons.

In a normal situation, a B+ dungeon that had a maximum capacity of 60 people could have as many as 10,000 monsters.

It would be unusual for anyone to deal with so many monsters with just two people.

Kim Woo-jin finally answered Lee Jin-ah’s question.

“It won’t be just the two of us.”

“Ah, really?”

Lee Jin-ah’s facial expression brightened at those words.

“You must have a team for us to run it with. Okay, then that changes things. So how many of them are there?”

“There’s thirty-five excluding us.”

“What? Thirty-five?”

As he heard this number, Lee Jin-ah tilted his head in confusion before he suddenly realised something.

“Are you talking about the number of Skeleton Soldiers and Golems?”

Kim Woo-jin ripped the skill page in his hands and responded.

“And one Skeleton Knight.”

At that moment, Lee Jin-ah gave up on the conversation and Kim Woo-jin no longer thought about it.

There was only one thing on his mind.

‘After this dungeon, we should use the big event happening on October 10th as the stage for our debut into 3 Floor Dungeons.’

Another A+ rank dungeon would appear in Korea on October 10th.

As he thought of this, Kim Woo-jin’s expression hardened slightly.

‘It won’t be easy, but…’

In Kim Woo-jin’s memory, the maximum number of entries had been 250 and three of the five major guilds participated.

Nevertheless, there was a reason why Kim Woo-jin intended to go there.

‘I have to get Hercules’ Ring.’

The reason was very obvious.
