I upgrade alone

A documentary about the life of Chairman Gao Jianli was still playing on the large electronic screen.

'...'

Like an eagle looking for prey, Cheng Jin-Woo looked at every part of the city with sharp eyes.

There were shadows who had carried out the same order before, and shuttled through S city more skillfully than before.

Countless information passed into Cheng Jin-Woo's mind.

But it didn't contain the information he wanted.

No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any trace of the old white ghost.

'Sure enough, this method still doesn't work...'

Cheng Jin-Woo also knew that it would be inefficient to use this method to find monsters that can travel freely through the space through the portal.

So before the guy ran away, he wanted to send a shadow soldier to chase it.

But he failed.

If it actually exists, it definitely has that thing.

shadow.

The guy has no shadow.

It must be a spirit body.

The king of giants said that kings and rulers are composed of spirit bodies, so they cannot become shadow soldiers.

In the same way, if the king cannot generate a shadow, then for Cheng Jin-Woo, it is tantamount to losing one of the best tracking methods.

'...it doesn't matter. '

At that time, the King of Giants warned Process Jin-Woo that if the existence of Cheng Jin-Woo were known to the kings, they would not sit still.

Kings will come here again soon.

At that time, the target will not be Chairman Gao Jianli, but himself.

'Of course, when the time comes...'

Cheng Jin-Woo showed killing intent.

After coming back alive from the double dungeon and gaining the system ability, Cheng Jin-Woo has never let the enemy escape once.

The only one who managed to escape was the 'Ice Elf'.

In the past, regardless of whether the opponent was a human or a monster, as long as it was the enemy he was targeting, he would definitely eliminate it.

It was so in the past, and it is the same now.

Seong Jin-Woo didn't think of making that guy an exception.

However, some clues seemed to pop up in his head.

'Huh...…?'

After thinking about the enemies he had encountered so far, he noticed something unusual.

So it seems...

'When facing Huang Dongshu or Thomas...is there a system prompt?'

When there are murderous people around, the system will always remind him and give him urgent tasks.

Huang Dongshi, Jiang Haotian, Wang Zhe.

Without exception.

Even during sparring, Goto Ryuji, who attacked him sincerely in just a short moment, gave a warning.

"But whether it is Huang Dongshu who wants to avenge his brother, or Thomas who wants to kill me, there is no prompt?"

strange things.

No matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out.

He began to think about this abnormal point, and then, to confirm the fact, Cheng Jin-Woo took out his mobile phone.

Fortunately, that person's agent left contact information.

It is one o'clock in the morning.

Considering the time difference between country M and the east, it would not be impolite to call at this time.

Dululu--

Just as Cheng Jin-Woo thought, the standby tone didn't ring a few times before the other party answered the phone.

"MR Cheng, I didn't expect you to call me?"

There was surprise in Thomas' voice.

"I have something to ask."

"You to me? Tell me. As long as I know, I will answer honestly."

"That day, when we fought together."

"... fight together?"

"Did you really mean to kill me when you attacked me?"

"I remember it being sorted out."

To Thomas who didn't want to recall the situation at that time, Cheng Jin-Woo explained that he was just curious.

There is no need to hide.

Thomas, who was silent for a while, answered honestly.

"I'm going to be defiant when I'm angry... I really wanted to kill you at the time."

really.

The killing intent that Thomas held at that time was not fake.

Even so, the system remained silent.

definitely is.…...

'something has changed. '

It was just a small doubt at first, but now it has almost become a certainty.

"Mr. Cheng?"

Xu Shi's sudden silence after his own answer was a little awkward, and Thomas' voice was excited to change the subject.

"Instead of talking about such boring things, I have prepared a fantasy for you..."

"Firstly."

beep.

Cheng Jin-Woo was not in the mood to joke with Thomas, and hung up the phone after a brief greeting.

I can confirm it after listening to Thomas' answer.

Today's system no longer reacts to aggressive enemies.

Thinking back to the initial system always asking Cheng Jin-Woo to try his best to protect himself, now this is a big change.

'It's not something that can be simply ignored. '

At the very beginning, when he received the system's threatening task of "stopping his heart without killing the enemy", Cheng Jin-Woo guessed the purpose of the system.

'Maybe the system is letting me act in its own direction. '

He had speculated so in the past.

But now there are no urgent missions, and the most likely reason for this is...

Perhaps the purpose of the system has changed.

So he had a choice, and he was able to let go of Thomas who wanted to kill him.

'If there is an urgent task, this guess is wrong. '

It's good to have more choices, but he also wants to know the reason.

Is this also related to the original owner of this power who betrayed the king?

Or after killing the designer, their original plan was completely destroyed?

Thinking of the successive speculations and assumptions, Cheng Jin-Woo shook his head.

'Let's think about it. '

It is now necessary to set the primary goal for the time being.

Kill the old white ghost.

Then extract information about the kings from that guy.

It would be great if it came to find itself, but even if it targeted other hunters, it would have already expanded the scope of the trap.

As long as you can take the bait, both goals can be solved at the same time.

The problem is timing.

Because he doesn't know when the king will appear, so until then, he has to be ready to fight against powerful opponents at any time.

Fortunately, he found a place where he could continue to gain experience points.

Country R.

There are many places abandoned by the people in the country that has not yet repaired the damage caused by the giant.

I heard that when Cheng Jin-Woo went to country M, many portals in country R went out of control in dungeons, and those monsters that invaded the world occupied those places and expanded their domain.

Although those monsters are objects of fear to the people of R country, but to Cheng Jin-Woo, they are just abundant prey.

one by one.

Cheng Jin-Woo couldn't wait to think of sweeping up the monsters that occupied the land and upgrading them.
