I Login Alone

Chapter 176



Chapter 176

Jung Si-woo decided to stay in London for a few more days while he was in England. Jung Si-hwan caught him, and in fact, if he entered resting place, he could enter the underwater dungeon, so where he stayed on the ground wasn’t a big problem.

“By the way, why are you in England, father?”

“I’m looking around all the exchanges. The Magic Stone trade is a very sensitive matter. It’s also the easiest environment for money and forced to collide…I’m thinking about going to France next time.”

“Traveling around the world… I envy that.”

“This guy, he’s risking his life.”

After a few years of not interacting with each other as a father and son, Jung Si-woo and Jung Si-hwan seemingly recognized that they were still a little awkward with each other. Even if they understood each other’s situation, the sense of disruption caused by the long-term break wasn’t so easy to fill.

“What risk? American rankers take turns protecting us.”

“Now that you mention it, you’re mistaken to think that all rankers are as smart as John, son.”

“That’s true, but…”

Neither of them was very good at it, and if they break up this time, they didn’t know when they would next meet. Knowing that Jung Si-woo tried to say more to his father while staying in England, Jung Si-hwan gladly accepted it and suited his son. The two, so to speak, were engaged in a rehabilitation campaign.

“How free is that tail?”

“Come on.”

Jung Si-woo didn’t bother to hide his tail from Jung Si-hwan. When the tail, which was moving according to Jung Si-woo’s will in the air, suddenly rushed fast and lifted Jung Si-hwan’s body, he screamed in surprise.

“Hey!”

“Phew.”

Soo Ah-rin watched it from the side and thought they weren’t in elementary school, but she didn’t say anything. She also felt that the atmosphere between the two was slowly softening. But they couldn’t play around forever. Both of them had their own business.

“Hey, stop. I can hear John’s car. I’m going to work, but how about you? I don’t think I should have held you…”

“It’s okay. I can go to the dungeon as much as I want from here.”

“That’s the same part as any other player…”

Jung Si-woo gently dropped his father on the floor and stretched. Through his residential area, he could enter the underwater dungeon he was aiming for, but once he entered it, he couldn’t come out for a day or two. He had his time with his father, and it felt like a bit of a shame to waste it like that.

“Then I’ll just have to clear a normal Ant Cave dungeon.”

He once experienced various patterns of dungeons by clearing the Ant Cave dungeon, but recently, he has been focusing on clearing the integrated dungeon in this world. Now that the Sky Castle players were also challenging high-level dungeons, chances were high that the numbering dungeons he hadn’t yet experienced had increased.

“In that sense, the integrated dungeon was only applied to the dungeon that Oppa experienced.”

“Yes, since we’ve already done it on a large scale, we can get all the new numbering and periodically create integrated dungeons, so we can do it as comfortably as we want.”

“If anyone hears, they’ll think you’re cleaning the house, Oppa…”

Anyway, it was good to clear all kinds of Ant Cave dungeons to get back into the integrated dungeon later. As he talked about this with his supporters, Jung Si-hwan, packing his briefcase, responded with a bitter smile.

“You’re talking about something very strange. I’ve heard a little bit about the players…is that related to the Ant Cave? It seems to be a distinctly different system from the Sky Castle.”

“But they’re both made for the same purpose.”

“Of course, the purpose seems to be the same in that it is a primary cordon that protects the Earth from outside influence, but the latter is a course for senior citizens no matter how hard you look at it. It’s more likely that it’s a system that was created by someone else, or even if someone like you made it, with a different target designated from the beginning.”

Jung Si-woo’s forehead wrinkled at by his father’s thoughtless words. Of course, he also had a rough idea, but it felt a little strange to hear the sentence put together.

“Is it also a pre-arranged system that targets me?”

“Or maybe he was waiting for a superhuman like you to show up…Ah.”

In that part, Jung Si-hwan’s expression became strange.

“I’m sure the person who created the two systems, or the person who exists, is the same person or has a big relationship with each other.”

“Dad, did you get anything out of this conversation?”

“Yeah, you weren’t chosen as a player when the Sky Castle first appeared.”

“What the…is that so?

Jung Si-woo’s head wasn’t that bad either, so he caught what his father wanted to say.

“Certainly…I thought when I didn’t become a player, the selection criteria was completely random. But it turns out later that the players were better than the average person.”

“In other words, the criteria for selecting players wasn’t random. Nevertheless, the fact that such a physically gifted child like you was not chosen means that you were supposed to enter the Ant Cave, not a heavenly one, from the beginning.”

He expected it to be the case, but he didn’t feel good after being so sure. When Jung Si-woo’s response wasn’t good, Jung Si-hwan grew nervous about whether he would make a fuss. But he soon raised his head and only breathed a light sigh.

“This is all happening because I’m not strong enough.”

“Is that what you’re talking about?”

“So you can be stronger.”

Jung Si-hwan finally laughed at his son’s ignorant conclusion. It was a laugh because he knew he was sincere.

“Yes, because you can’t stand the frustration of yourself.”

Jung Si-woo respected others as much as he respected himself. When it came to interacting with them, they were tailored to them, and he didn’t ask others for the same thing he had been special since childhood. But he couldn’t stand it if something else pressed on him. A predator unfamiliar with non-freedom couldn’t survive prison.

Sky Castles, Ant Caves, alien beings beyond his control. He was going to pursue power constantly until he was truly free of them all.

“But now I’m a little free. I’ll be freer from now on…then go ahead, Father.”

Jung Si-woo, who confirmed that his father had packed all the bag contents, wrapped up the conversation by pushing him away with his tail. Jung Si-hwan was uncontrollably afraid of his son being a little too free, but he didn’t ask anymore.

“I’ll see you in the evening. Can you see it?”

“Of course.”

Jung Si-woo, who watched his father get into John Smith’s car, sighed lightly and looked back at the group.

“Then we’ll go, too.

“Yes, I’m feeling sick, too.”

“Yong Se-ha, your body has adjusted to Si-woo…”

“Please refrain from making any misleading expressions, sir…”

They headed straight for the resting place, where they went back into the cave dungeon. Every time he entered the dungeon, something strange happened, so that he couldn’t stand it. Most of the dungeons were new and sloppy dungeons since he cleared most of them before. So Jung Si-woo cleared 38 dungeons in just three hours.

[Dungeon Clear]

[Takes 3 minutes and 14 seconds]

“Well, I haven’t thought much so far…”

Jung Si-woo saw the time for the dungeon he just cleared approaching three minutes (the level was a dungeon approaching 200). He only had one thought.

“I think I’ll get something even if I cut down on the clearing time further.”

“I thought you might be thinking about that again.”

Soo Ah-rin sighed as she handed him the sandwich she had brought for lunch. But when Jung Si-woo mumbled over it and tried to argue something, the message he had seen before came to mind.

[Hint of special achievement]

[What a shame I almost became an honorable speedrunner!]

“Look.”

“I know…”

Regardless of the rich, Jung Si-woo, who pushed her into the cave, might be quite on the same page. Soo Ah-rin thought blankly and bit her into her share of the sandwiches. Seeing Jung Si-woo swallowing without chewing, it seemed like the leisurely lunch was over.

“Help me with that, Caina.”

[Do you want me to be a pacemaker?]

“No, we should run together. You’re left, I’m right. Se-ha and Ah-rin clean up the undead.”

In doing so, Jung Si-woo executed the Fast and Furious Formation. However, the dungeon built on the 27th stage would be the perfect place to test it.

[Ant Cave Area #76 Dead Spider’s Net]

[Clear timeout – 10:15:00:00]

[Oh, finally, there’s a man here…!]

“Oh.”

As soon as he entered the dungeon, Jung Si-woo ignored the ghost that came to them and murmured in disappointment. But it also picked up steam for a moment and looked up.

“But we still have to test this formation.”

“I don’t think there’s a need for a test in this simple, ignorant formation…”

[Oh, I guess they don’t see me…]

“Oh, yeah, yeah. I’m interested.”

Jung Si-woo and his group, who belatedly soothed the ghost who began to question and worry about his identity, gathered their minds and rushed straight into the dungeon. The wings were Yong Se-ha and Soo Ah-rin, and Caina on a bike, while Jung Si-woo, who didn’t ride a bike, sprinted ahead. How long did it continue to run…

Soo Ah-rin suddenly raised her head and saw a huge iron door.

“Oh, that’s the boss room door…”

“Hah!”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

[Quaaaaaaaaa!]

[Dungeon Clear]

[Time Consumed: 47 minutes and 33 seconds]

“…”

They saw a huge monster rise in the boss room, but the next moment there was only a small bead left in the room. As Soo Ah-rin tilted her head, her eyes widened as if they couldn’t believe the ghost of the player who flew next to her.

[So easily the giant spider that trampled on me…]

“Oh, it was a spider…”

“Well, I can’t do this yet.”

Jung Si-woo felt the need to speed up. Jung Si-woo and Caina’s breakthrough destroyed the front, and Yong se-ha and Soo Ah-rin handled the remaining debris, but to reduce the monster’s resistance as much as possible and make a smooth dash…

“If this happens, we have no choice but to mobilize ghosts.”

“I thought I’d say that at this point…”

On that day, Jung Si-woo cleared the #136 Ant Cave dungeon in 2 minutes and 29 seconds, achieving a special achievement [Sub 3], succeeding in raising his agility by ten, and combat sprint skill by two levels. No, more precisely, there was one more reward.

[The evolution of the fighting sprint skills can be achieved.]

[One more special achievement will enable the expansion of possibilities and the presentation of directions. Run faster, faster than the wind]

“What the hell is this supposed to be about?”

Jung Si-woo thought it was nothing and passed it lightly, hurrying back to dinner with his father.

Three days later, Jung Si-hwan’s bodyguard changed.
