Chapter 17
Episode 17:
The management office in charge of big and small matters in Beneta.
X, who was waiting for his turn, handed the trophy to the person in charge. The person in charge, who always worked with a bored expression on his face, had no choice but to stutter.
“Now wait a minute, did you collect this much by yourself?”
“I just kept going here and there, so it accumulated quite a bit. How much compensation can you get? “There are also hobgoblin ornaments.”
“Now wait a minute! “I’ll calculate it right away.”
One, two, three…
It took quite some time because the quantity was not limited. As X waited for the calculation to finish, he recalled the battle with the goblin in his mind.
‘At first, I thought I could easily win.’
Goblins living in the cold northern region were relatively weak. In terms of level, the difference is quite large considering that goblins in other regions with abundant food are level 30 to 40 and are over level 50.
However, I overlooked the fact that they were intelligent in their own way. Running into a group of goblins, each with their own unique characteristics, was dizzying even for X.
‘Arrows and crude magic were flying from everywhere, right in front of the warrior goblin armed with a club and shield… I was a little confused.’
Overwhelming status!
Because of this, X relaxed slightly. However, the synergy that came from the goblins’ organizational skills was amazing. X has more than once run out of stamina.
‘So you have to become stronger.’
Final goal.
What X has to deal with are large, organized guilds that are incomparable to goblins. Among them, War Machine could be said to be like a mountain whose size cannot be estimated.
X, who was thinking, lightly shrugged his shoulders.
“If you build up your basic physical strength, the day will come when you can easily climb Mount Tai.”
Everything in the world is complicated if you think about it in a complicated way, but it is light if you think of it simply!
X decided to eat, get stronger, and go hunting. The basic physical strength you have built up in this way will never betray you. The person in charge finished the calculation.
“Phew, the calculation is over. We can exchange a total of 220 gold for the Hobgoblin decoration. And public records… What is your name?”
“It’s called X.”
“Mr. We have just completed the public records as well.”
Tiroling!
As soon as the person in charge touched the pen, a notification rang.
[Reputation increases by 200 points!]
X received the effect of the necklace and his reputation exceeded 400 points. Unfortunately, it did not exceed 500 points, but considering the level, it was a huge number.
X was rewarded with a satisfied smile. After coming out of the management center, X took a quick look around at Beneta. It was a city where life was felt everywhere, even in the bitter cold weather.
‘Can I get a new spice?’
Because X had experienced the deceptive nature of spices, he had no choice but to fall in love with them. There was a lot of miscellaneous items in my inventory, so I needed to dispose of them.
X headed to the general store.
“I will give you a total of 50 gold. “I paid more than the market price.”
Whisper whisper.
The heavily powdered store owner whispered.
Even though we are not particularly close friends, he buys items at a fairly good price. The increased reputation was fame, but the effect of the Thier family necklace was great.
‘It’s nice to be treated like a noble.’
The gold spent was 70 gold.
X bought a bottle of new spices and a return to village order form. Even with the spices, tears came to my eyes when I bought the order to return to the village.
“Ugh, even though it’s a waste, there’s nothing I can do.”
Cave bears appear further north in Veneta. However, to the north of Veneta there was no road that could be called a road. As soon as we left Veneta, a huge mountain range appeared.
‘The mountains are really damn mountain ranges.’

X discovered Veneta’s geography through searches. That’s why I purchased the village return order form. It seemed that no user could let down their guard in those rugged and complex mountain ranges.
‘Besides, you can’t even dream of camping because the lights go out all the time?’
Bitter wind!
Anyway, there was a reason why users avoided it. But X didn’t have to worry. Don’t you have a semi-permanent torch in your inventory?
“If you have something, it will come in handy someday.”
A tree branch filled with pure soul.
For now, the intention was to use it instead of torches or firewood. However, seeing as its level is unique, it is probably not an ordinary tree branch. It didn’t weigh much, so X packed all the branches.
X picked up street food from a street vendor.
It was cold so I had to eat it before it got cold.
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste in ‘special stir-fried seasoning’!]
[The addictive sweet and spicy taste is absorbed into the body!]
[Maximum stamina increases by 50 points!]
[Strength increases by 1 point!]
It’s delicious too!
X opened his eyes and spoke cheerfully.
“It’s delicious, boss. What sauce is this made from?”
Everything to become stronger!
X became interested in cooking, which he had no interest in before.

“Ugh, it’s much better. “I should have smoked it a long time ago.”
Gooooo!
It felt like a soft flame was surrounding my body.
X climbed the mountain range carrying a burning tree branch. I was prepared, but it was a truly terrible mountain range, befitting its reputation. Puff! Of course, every time you take a step, your foot slips.
Awww!
The ground was filled with wild beasts waiting for X to fall and fall to his death. X raised his shield and muttered.
“If you rush in, I’ll be grateful. You guys should be thankful for your eyes. If it weren’t for these eyes, I would have done it
a long time ago …”
When I opened my mouth, my stomach hurt.
X just kept his mouth shut. So I shut up and climbed the mountain range. The snowfall stopped around noon and into the afternoon. Only then did I see a road in the mountains.
‘In this way, it feels like I’m fighting nature, not mobs.’
Why does Kalon know the Cave Bear recipe?
The North is a place like that, but I felt aggrieved because it was hard on my body. Clap! X sat down on a flat stone and looked around.
“It’s still hard to live.”
They were indeed monsters that survived the harsh north.
X’s current abilities were abnormally high.
Even monsters born in the wild with great instincts would know that fact. Nevertheless, it could be seen that the lethal force went beyond bravery and that the liver was sticking out of the stomach.
Only by working hard can you get ahead of others!
X’s break lasted less than five minutes.
Even the dizzying snow scenery that looked like a painting couldn’t attract X’s attention.
visor! X took out his sword and shield. The snow stopped and a road appeared, making it possible to move actively. So shouldn’t we just take a breath and move right away?
‘Shall we start by clearing out the wolf pack?’
Snow mountain wolf!
If you look at them one by one, they are not difficult opponents. Because it has less stamina and attack power than a snow mountain wild boar. But the more we come together, the stronger we become.
Awww!
X, the strongest man in this mountain range!
Even if we estimate the number of snow mountain wolves attracted by the presence of X, it was over 50. They exposed their teeth and prepared to attack X.
‘Even if you are weaker than a goblin, you must not let down your guard.’
X has experience fighting and winning against 120 goblins. However, as he had promised, X did not let go of his tension.
Snow Mountain is the home ground of the wolves.
Because you never know what variables will arise.
Crack! For an instant, X and the wolf pack moved simultaneously.
puck! X struck the wolf charging at the forefront with his shield. Even though their compatriots were killed instantly, they did not get rid of them. Rather, I caught up with X.
‘The goal is not to allow a single attack.’
In terms of stats, X is already easily over level 150. There is a huge gap between them and snowy wolves.
That’s why X put a condition on himself.
‘The moment you become complacent, you fall behind. Moreover, this is Fate. The moment you let your guard down, you slip down tens or hundreds of steps into the abyss. You must never relax in any battle.’
A painful experience at Lean Online!
X was a loser because he was conceited and careless. Even if he had been stabbed in the back, it would have been no problem to kill the traitors if he had maintained his skills from his prime.
Swish! X jumped high into the air.
Wolves were charging at me from all directions, butting their heads together.
puck! Puff puff!
X landed and took care of the confused wolves. slap! It was alert and dodged its sharp teeth.
And won.
“Whew. “You fight really well.”
Even in the cold weather, I was drenched in sweat.
X wiped the sweat from his forehead and checked his physical strength.
Vitality: 6670 / 6670
X smiled.
“Still, there is a saying that even if something is rotten, it is still worth it.”
An overwhelming victory without allowing a single attack!
X was slowly regaining his prime skills.

“It’s natural to have competitors…”
The cave bear is a named monster.
Named monsters are similar to field bosses and have overwhelming strength and special effects compared to their level. Depending on the difficulty, loot drops completed equipment that can only be found in bosses.
“Oh, it’s so cold I’m dying. “There’s no trace this way!”
“Mr. Ha, has someone caught him already?”
“Sir, can’t we just come tomorrow? “I’ve come this far and can’t find any traces, so it looks like someone has already caught it today?”
Archer users with red cheeks puffed out their breath.
From what I heard, it seems like I’ve been wasting my time since this morning.
A female archer who appeared to be a senior spoke.
“Okay, let’s go down. “With a body like this, it’s easy to get stolen even if you find it first.”
Shoo shoo shoo!
Archer’s job skill.
X shook his head as he watched the two of them descending the snowy mountain with agile movements.
“Tsk, with that mindset, you won’t be able to catch it even if you go on for the rest of your life, right?”
If you have to catch a competitive named monster, isn’t it natural to be more persistent than others?
When X was addicted to Lin Online, he once waited for over 40 hours just to catch a quest monster. I waited for over 40 hours, got a nice steal, and then waited another 20 hours.
“Compared to those times, Fate is a noble person.”
X checked the inventory with a happy expression.
Inventory full of ingredients and spices!
X planned to make a home in the rugged mountains until he caught the cave bear. You can catch monsters that attack you and cook when the seeds dry!
You can steadily increase your experience and stats.
If it was this kind of hard work, I was confident that I would do it for the rest of my life.
‘Well, I’m an exaggeration for the rest of my life, right?’
Anyway, X decided to spend a bit longer hunting cave bears. We have calculated and prepared even for cases where we are not lucky.
Puff! X walked through the snow.
“What, that place is really nice?”
A particularly concave terrain was visible beneath the mountain range.
Even though it was concave, the trees around it were densely tall, blocking snow and wind. Since it was a relatively mild area in the snowy mountains, monsters seemed to naturally flock to it.
‘Oh, there are monsters we haven’t seen before, right? Is that… a bird?’
What does that taste like?
X’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.
It’s a famous place where monsters naturally flock.
I thought I could find traces of cave bears and gain quite a bit of experience. However, when X reached the famous spot, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Haha, that’s not it. Look Carefully. “Hands like this.”
“Wow, it’s a hit!”
“Good job. It’s a lot easier now that you tell me, right?”
What kind of behavior is this in a sacred hunting ground?
Although it is a great place, there are not many users, and all the users have the same shoulder pattern. What this means is that a certain guild has monopolized this famous place.
X said sarcastically when he saw the friendly users.
“I don’t know where it is. “You really have no manners.”
Even in dungeons, they monopolize the field. There was no such thing as dog manners. In addition, there were strong users whose level was not suitable for this place.
‘They even added high level players to avoid losing the famous spot.’
Shameless bastards.
X pouted.
It’s a good place, but I didn’t want to get tired by being associated with people like that. Still, X searched the surroundings to see if he could find any traces of the cave bear.
Suddenly, a voice full of bravado was heard.
“Don’t you trust me? PVP succession? Even so, this oppa is talented again. Everyone was helpless in front of this oppa’s excellent control, whether it was level or temperament. “Yes, it’s not a difference that can be made up by spending money like that.”
…Who’s going to spend the money?
X wondered if he had heard wrong.
But that damn finger was clearly pointing towards me.
X smiled coldly.
‘Are you just accusing me of being bad at games?’
Poor game!
What gamer in the world could listen to something like that and remain silent?
The ironic desire to win as a gamer stirred.
Doo doo! X relaxed his shoulders and gave an estimate.
Judging by the equipment he was wearing, he looked like a paladin who had just passed level 100.
Jebbuk X approached the pretentious paladin.
‘Why is my ID X? ‘I’ll imprint it properly.’
X played hundreds and thousands of PVPs during his time on Lean Online. Depending on the condition, there were times when we lost, but the words spoken by the opposing team in the X and PVP match were always the same.
X! Shit! That dog! Holy shit XXX!
Legendary control that will make you cringe!
X, the protagonist of that bloody legend, opened his mouth.
“A PVP call there? If you said something, you should be held accountable.”
