Arena, Alien hunting

Total Karma.

It's a shame when all my skills and items are converted to karma.

By Odin's recommendation, I decided to enroll in the World Examiner ranking and calculated all of my skills and items in Karma.

Not only did I complete the exam and get good grades, but I also bought Karma for money.

I used to level up my skills as a trainee without consuming Karma.

It's all based on Karma.

“Wow…. ”

I felt ashamed enough to stick my tongue out myself.

Once my skills and items were:

Main Skill: Necromancy (Advanced Level 1).

Auxiliary Skill: Stamina correction (Intermediate Level 5), Advice (Beginner Level 1), Instant Movement (Intermediate Level 1), Vision correction (Beginner Level 1).

Special Skill: Skill Synthesis.

Synthetic Skill: Wind Blessing (Master), Flame Blessing (Master), Kinetic Nerve (Master), Flame of Life (Intermediate Level 4), Penetration (Beginner Level 1), Processing Time (Intermediate Level 1), Shooting (Beginner Level 1), Ammo Calibration (Master), Reload, Identity Sight (Master), Fluoroscopy (Beginner Level 1), Orbital Detection.

Remaining Karma: +16,000

Item: AW50F, Nielsen H2 (2 tablets), Item Backpack

What is the approximation of all of this in Karma?

I started making calculations by writing them down in my notes.

However, Cha Ji-hye, who was lying in one bed and about to go to bed, looked at that day and said,

“Can't I ask the slate? ”

“ ……. ”

For a moment I felt like an idiot.

Cha Ji-hye suddenly smiled and closed her eyes and asked her to sleep.

Together, I was able to now capture the fine expression of emotion on her face.

“Can you show me all my skills and items converted to Karma? ”

Speaking to the slate, the writing really twisted. That's a hell of an AI.

Represents the total karma value of Kim Hyun-ho's skills and items. This total includes residual karma.

Total Carma: +108,600

“Wow…. ”

I opened my mouth with enormous shame.

“How many have you come up with? ”

Cha Ji-hye asked.

You're pretending to be asleep and you're still curious. He's cute.

“108,600 karma.”

“Yes?”

Cha Ji-hye asked as if he doubted his ears.

“108,600 karma.”

“You're done with the 8th round now? ”

“Yes.”

Of course, it was not only the results of completing the exam.

I've leveled up my skills through training and paid for astronomy, and I'm not kidding.

I texted this number to Odin.

Then I came to bed and slept next to Cha Ji-hye.

I didn't know at that time what kind of impact that text message would have.

* * *

[108,600]

“Hmmm…! ”

Odin checks his text messages and groans without my knowledge.

He was now the 8th Investigator.

Is this achievement possible for an investigator who has only taken eight exams?

‘You killed a lot of corrupt examiners while fighting pirates. You've grown so fast fighting against the Chinese Trials. ’

Odin senses that this investigator is going to be the core of the storm.

The strongman who raised his mind after defeating the infamous Hazing of the Chinese Trials!

Such a strong man was racing towards clearing the exam straight.

How does the arena industry take it?

How do investors perceive the emergence of Kim Hyun-ho, just waiting for the technology to open up to the world and do business in earnest?

Odin himself had been under a lot of refueling and pressure.

Odin focused on surviving with the idea of just not leaving his daughter Bella alone.

Thanks to that, I have continued to complete the test to this day.

But even Odin, who had such a clear sense of purpose, could not have survived without the protection of the Nordic Trials.

Although not as blatant as the Chinese trials, almost all national agencies saw Arena as a big business opportunity.

They achieved the final objective of the trial and sought direction to ensure continued assertion rather than release by the investigators.

Of course, it still does not reveal such concern in light of the investigators' refusal.

However, Kim Hyun-ho's existence might change the atmosphere.

I have already collided with the pirates and have discovered that there is a connection to the mysterious Black Wizard organization.

It is approaching the final objective of the test at a rapid rate.

‘Once you've registered for the World Ranking, you'll start receiving hints. But……. ’

Odin smiles.

‘There will also be those who want to gather that much power to complete the test. ’

On that day, there was a change in ranking at the World Arena Association.

Arena-related organizations from around the world were shocked.

Especially at the Korea Arena Institute.

Investigator Kim Hyun-ho

Citizenship: Korea

Rank: 7th

Total Carma: 108,600

“Hey, what's this? ”

Korea Arena Institute.

Kim Jong-tae opened his eyes and looked at the monitor.

‘What's Kim Hyun-ho's name doing here?! ’

This can't be happening.

It's about the seventh and eighth time now.

No, it was even more surprising that it had not yet been handed over to the Chinese Trials.

What power has kept me from the Chinese side until now, and I've become such a huge ranker!

Seventh place!

"Why did he suddenly show up like that?" ’

Kim Jong-tae began to cool down his liver.

None of the South Korean examiners were in the top 20 yet.

Suddenly, Korea's 7th ranking examiner appeared!

Not even from the Korea Arena Research Institute!

"Danger!"

General Kim Jung-tae was alert.

The current government had nothing to do with the president or the Arena.

Kim Jong-tae was able to exert powerful authority because he didn't know the right person in politics.

But even so, if a great ranker of that size appears, it can go into the president's ears.

‘This is bad...! ’

In a hurry, Chairman Kim Jung-tae took out an old folder phone.

The target of Kim Jung-tae's call was Ri Chang-Wi in Beijing.

What's the matter, sir?

“What happened? ”

What do you mean?

“Kim Hyun-ho! What did Kim Hyun-ho do? ”

Ah, you've seen it, too?

“Why haven't you done anything about Kim Hyun-ho since you gave him enough information? ”

Don't you see? You've overcome crises and become stronger. Nice human victory.

“Hey!”

What's the matter, Chairman Kim Jung-tae?

“Are you giving up on Kim Hyun-ho now? ”

I have no reason to fight Kim Hyun-ho anymore.

Kim Jong-tae sensed a strange atmosphere.

That guy just said "for me."

as if his thoughts were the will of the Chinese Trials.

Kim Jong-tae didn't know the death of Haeshing, Ri Chang's rival.

Of course, he had no idea what was happening inside the Chinese trials.

“What does that mean? There's no reason to be hostile to Kim Hyun-ho... ”

Well, I have nothing more to say. Please do not contact us anymore.

“Now, wait...! ”

Richang hung up unilaterally.

‘Something happened in China! ’

Kim blames himself for neglecting news about China for a while.

I had to get the news up and running by now.

However, General Kim was not given that much time.

Ta-da!

The phone in his office started ringing.

General Kim Jung-tae picked up a handset.

“What?”

Warden, this is Chungwa University.

“Connect me.”

Soon I heard the voice of an old man.

General Kim.

“Yes, Chief Secretary. How have you been?”

Have you heard anything about the Chinese Trials?

“I'm looking at it now because I have an unusual feeling it's not. ”

It looks like there's been a big change in the power grid inside the Chinese trials, but the warden still doesn't know what to do?

“Yes, you're so secretive that you're struggling to figure it out. ”

By the way, do you know about Kim Hyun-ho?

General Kim Jung-tae's heart began to pound.

“Unfortunately, we don't know much because we don't belong here. I know he's an investigator for the genuine group. ”

This is not the first world ranker among test subjects in my country. I can't believe you're not in the lab. That's too bad. You don't know anything else?

“Yes, I will find out more and bring them to our office if possible. ”

I see. You mean I don't know anything anymore.

“Yes…. ”

Haha, that's right.

“ ……? ”

General Kim, you really don't know anything?

A word stabbed with a cool tone.

General Kim Jung-tae felt the blood cooled.

I talked to Chairman Park Jin-seong. General Kim, you were incompetent and you even treated us like fools.

Chairman Park Jin-seong of Jinsung Group!

He was the one who was saved by Kim Hyun-ho.

Kim Jong-tae realized that something had gone terribly wrong.

“Vee, Chief Secretary……. ”

That's it. I don't want to talk to you anymore.

The call was unilaterally disconnected.

And 15 minutes later, a group of people from the National Guard came to the Korean Arena Institute.

* * *

How have you been?

It was the voice of Chairman Park Jin-seong who had been listening for a long time. You sound so cheerful.

“Yes, I'm quite well. How's your health? ”

Healthy. I gave up drinking for a long life. Life without alcohol, I don't know if it's dead or alive.

“Haha, thank God. Live long and shit on walls. ”

Shut up. Anyway, I hear you've been doing really well lately.

“What?”

This guy? Ranking!

“Oh, I registered for ranking through the Nordic Trials. What's my rank? ”

…… You don't know that, so you ask me?

“I haven't heard from Mr. Odin. ”

You live without a plan. This is the seventh place in the world...

“Yes? Seventh place? ”

Yes! Yes!

“I'm really tall. ”

I was surprised.

7th place?

I expected it to be higher, but I didn't expect it to be the seventh of all the test subjects in the world!

Of course, there are many strong people who are not registered in the ranking, like Rychang, but it must be a very high ranking.

You know you're still in our group, right?

“I know.”

When I was treating President Park Jin-seong, I signed on as a member of the Jin-seong Group. You have no idea.

Thanks to you, I got some help from Chief Executive Officer of the Third Secretary.

Then why don't you bring the stakes from the arena? The seventh person in the world has never brought us anything.

“Ah……. ”

On second thought, it was.

It was the investigator's most important means of earning money.

However, I did not pay attention to the astronomical glimpse of the flames of life.

I have a ranker in seventh place, so let's see what we can do.

“Hahaha, I'll get you some stops when I get a chance. ”

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk

“Good news? ”
