chapter 44
44 – Lower Outer God (2)
“I dropped out of the academy.”
“Well thought out.”
I just escaped from the academy and threw myself on the bed.
Specifications are built only when they are worth building, so what are you building when you have already reached a point where you don’t need them?
[SAN figures 124,000 / 124,000]
Now I am strong enough to easily defeat the Constellation.
The power itself is still slightly above the Constellation, but look at that SAN figure.
In fact, it is said that there is no problem even if you use infinite skills.
[Currently available tentacles: 12,430]
Even my tentacles can write numbers in the thousands now.
Even if you fire this, quite a few constellations will fall out.
“Yeah, well… Now that it’s a thing that never happened, you guys are also liberated.”
“Yes…?”
I spoke to the Cthulhu star spawns, who were busily moving around in maid outfits in the living room.
It’s something that never happened anyway, so what are you going to do by holding onto it?
In the first place, the house felt too small because there were too many people.
“Oh, really…?”
“Yes. Don’t make me say it twice.”
“Wow!”
All the star spawns were excited and started throwing off their maid outfits.
Inside it, the original clothes were still worn.
Sorry.
“But we have nowhere to go…”
“…Ah.”
Coming to think of it, these guys were living as outcasts without a social status.
If you send them out, you won’t be able to find a house, a job, or anything else.
Then you will end up committing another crime.
“Yeah…It’s about time to change houses.”
The growing number of members.
To sustain this, they needed a house as large as that.
“Let’s all move to a nice house to live in. Roughly 130 pyeong will do.”
130 Pyeong.
At least billions will go in.
But don’t worry. A hero like me earns money just by breathing like an oil rich man.
I heard that America’s No. 1 S-class hero saved up money to buy one.
And it is said that various policies are being promoted so that the people of the living country can live well.
Even S rank earns that much, so I, a Constellation rank, can’t earn that much?
“You said you were going to buy a house?”
“Yes, I’ll buy one. I don’t know how many more members of my family will grow, but if you live in a place like this, you might end up taking a shower together.”
“Then would you need money?”
“Right? So, I became an S-class hero…”
“It’s taking too long.”
Turb, tumble.
Nyarlathotep said holding up my cell phone.
“Join an overseas stock site right now.”
“Huh?”
“How many assets do you have left?”
“About 400 million…”
“I’ll call it 40 billion.”
Are you going to touch the overseas stocks that make even the rich into beggars?
“This is too dangerous…”
“Are you ignoring me?”
“Oh.”
But that’s a story that only works for humans.
Who is this guy? Isn’t it Nyarlathotep?
Reliable. To be honest, I think I would win money even if I gambled online.
But…
[Hiro -76.3%
43 Won]
“Isn’t this right?”
“Trust me.”
With that said, he put 400 million won into a stock called ‘Hiro’.
Millions of shares recharged in an instant.
“You can trust me, right?”
“That’s a lot of talk.”
Nyala Thotep covered my mouth in a loud voice and said.
“I’ll make it 40 billion so keep quiet.”
“…Heh.”
I answered with my mouth shut.
Yes, Nyarlathotep, what’s the matter?
* * *
[Hiro -99.76%]
“Hey.”
“…I made a mistake.”
I said, glaring at Nyarlathotep, but she said with a regretful expression.
“I should have bought it at this time, but I made a mistake.”
“It’s okay. Can’t you straighten a human stock?”
Quick.
I heard something snapping in Nyarlathotep’s head.
“Didn’t I tell you to wait? This is a crouch for a leap.”
“Yes, yes.”
Kikik.
I ignored her and opened her front door.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to make money. I need to recharge it quickly to commemorate the 400 million won.”
“…”
Walk!
“!!!”
Quang!
I quickly closed the front door when I saw Nyarlathotep charging at me.
The front door was bent into the shape of Nyarlathotep’s hand.
-Don’t regret it!
I quickly ran out of the apartment when I heard Nyarlathotep’s angry voice coming through the front door.
I almost got f*cked, just.
* * *
Hero Association.
If Hero ‘Guild’ is the best editorial in Korea, this place is the best institution in Korea.
As an analogy, you could say that a guild is a large corporation, and an association is a civil servant.
This place measures the hero level and updates it.
My purpose is to re-measure the hero level.
I entered the Hero Association with great strides.
“What are you here for?”
The staff asked me.
“I’m here to re-measure my hero rank.”
“I see.”
The employee said, tapping the keyboard impassively.
It’s quite common in this world to go up in rank.
There is a status window, so everyone’s stats go up and skills increase with the power of the constellation, but it’s rather strange that the grade doesn’t go up.
“Customer Kim Hyun-seong? Have you received an F grade before?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Then go to the examination room on the right and wait.”
I don’t know why they emphasize the F-class judgment.
‘Yes.’
When an Awakener awakens, unless he is quite an idiot, E-class comes out.
And the academy also organizes classes based on E-class.
In other words, it is said that F-class is treated as a dwarf with no possibility of growth.
She must have known that, and her face contorted at the moment.
“Then I will help you pay the re-examination fee of 100,000 won.”
“Yes?”
“Reexamination costs money.”
“Yes… I understand.”
I heard that there are people who do not recognize their grades and recklessly re-examine them.
Considering the exam method, it would be very costly to do everything for free, so it seemed like they were trying to get a re-examination fee.
‘Oh, sir…’
It’s been a long time since Nyarlathotep put all the money in the bankbook into stocks.
I hurriedly took out the money from her wallet and handed it to her.
“Yes, the payment has been completed.”
I heard that and walked towards the room on the right.
There were about 20 people there.
‘Is this the number of awakened people today?’
When you go out into the world, there are so many rare awakened people, so it feels a bit new.
-Hyunseong Kim!
Class E, Class D, Class F, Class, D, Class E, oh Class C?, And E…
While checking the grades of those who came out like that, I heard my name being called and entered the screening room.
There were various courses, and several people were assigned.
“You said reexamination? Can you explain?”
“It’s okay.”
This is a place to test my ‘stats’.
I didn’t take a separate test because I had to sign a contract with a constellation.
In the first place, regardless of skill, people in that level had appropriate stats, so it didn’t matter much.
And this was also the reason why the ranks of shamans were so low.
“First of all, the mana test.”
A man led me to a crystal ball.
“Can you put your hand up?”
I put my hand on the crystal ball without saying anything.
Hwaaak!
“Whoa! f*ck!”
A crystal ball that instantly dyes itself pitch-black.
I was surprised and immediately withdrew my hand.
“Uh, uh… Um… This, the inspection is complete.”
A surprised employee at the sight of the crystal ball stammered.
I was also surprised. What’s this?
‘When I first touched it, it was pale blue?’
Usually most… No, all Awoken come out blue.
This is because the color of magic is blue.
‘Is it because of the SAN figures?’
Is it because of the sticky human spirit?
“Now, let’s go to the next course.”
The guide took me to the next course, probably thinking that the first course was the priority.
The next course is probably…Strength stat?
‘Punching machine?’
A punching machine bigger than me was there.
It seems that beasts have been structured like this to withstand the power of Awakeners who treat them like cats.
“Oh, welcome!”
There stood a cheerful-looking man smiling.
He was a muscular man like Ma X-seok, attached like a gorilla.
“I’m going to measure my strength stat this time. Don’t feel pressured and hit as hard as you can! Just hit it!”
“Oh, how many points is 1 stat?”
“As far as I remember, maybe… I remember it as 1 stat per 100 points.”
Per 100 points, 1 stat.
The first time I punched it, it was 800 points, so it must be roughly correct.
“What is your highest score so far?”
“Let’s see…The 12,000 points that the guild leader promoted to S rank.”
“Are you saying that it can withstand an S-class fist?”
“Yes? Eh, no. The machine broke down with that one punch, so it’s a figure I came up with by calculating the impact value. First of all, no one in Korea has surpassed the score.”
Of course not. It’s an S-class punch.
“Then this won’t go bad, will it?”
“Yes? hahahaha! You’re joking too much. This one was only broken by the guild leader’s fist, but it wasn’t broken.”
Then I can’t help it.
I’m just going to smash a dog and get an S rank.
“Then shall I smash this with one jab?”
“Yes?”
Quaaa!!!!
As I swung my fist lightly, the punching machine, unable to withstand the power, flew backwards and shattered into pieces.
Boom! Bang! Clink!
Remnants of the wreckage were still embedded in the floor, and the punching machine flew through the wall and was pushed all the way to the asphalt floor.
“…”
The measurer was speechless and had his mouth open.
