Chapter 137

Ming Hu rubbed his eyes and looked again, wondering if he had misread it, but he hadn’t. After a cursory glance at the update, he slowly lowered the wheel and began to read it.
But nothing stood out anymore, and Myung-Hoo went around to free forums, comment boards, and other places to see how users were reacting to the update.
Subject: Double the merit? I’m raising it now.
By: Yuri Mental
Double the merit? Don’t the admins think? They’re nerfing a class that should be nerfed, bullshit… I’m gonna ditch the warrior and make a blacksmith. Blacksmith is such a hidden class.
Subject : Finally, an upgrade.
By: Lecus
Finally, the long-awaited Blacksmithing buff.
There were a lot of assholes saying that blacksmithing should be nerfed because it’s good, so I was worried that it would be nerfed.
It seems like the operators have an idea.
But you guys need to know that.
You’ll see when you grow up, but doubling up doesn’t mean you’ve become a shitty job.
If you grow it yourself, you’ll realize that it needs to be a little higher.
-Urinal: You’re a whiny little bitch. What do you want me to move up in this situation?
“Again.”
The message board was ablaze with excitement over the blacksmith’s 2x achievement update. After checking the reaction, Ming Hu closed the homepage and got up from his seat.
“I’m going to sleep while it updates.”
Muttering to himself, Ming Hu set his alarm, got into bed, and began to sleep.
* * * * *
-pibigpibig
The alarm began to echo around the room.
Chin!
Ming Hu, who had been sleeping soundly, reached over and turned off the alarm, then stretched and got up. He had gotten a good night’s sleep, so he wasn’t groggy or sleepy.
Jumbled
Ming Hu rose from his seat, went to the restroom, washed his face briefly, and returned to his room with some bread from the kitchen to satisfy his hunger. Ming Hu ate the bread and then entered the capsule.
After gaining access to the Legendary, Ming Hu returned to Dremen and traveled through the warp gate to Dorden.
-Delay: Minghuya!
Upon arriving in Dorden, Delay whispered to me.
-To Delay: Yes.
-Delayed: Quest broken??
-To Delay: No, I’m going to go wake up now. Oh! You haven’t finished the quest yet, have you come with me?
-Delay: Yeah! Where are you?
-To Delay: I’m heading to the gates now.
-Delay: I’ll meet you at the gates then!
-To Delay: See you later!
With that whisper, Ming Hu walked to the city gates. Arriving at the gates a short time later, Ming Hu began to walk toward the city with the delay that awaited him.
“So… Ogres are not immune to physical or magical attacks?”
“Uh, instead, the yellow ogre is invulnerable, the green ogre is poisoned, and the purple ogre… I’m not sure, but I think they use magic when they warp.”
Ming Hu was walking back up the valley, explaining things to Jie Li.
“Warp? To town?”
“Yes.”
As they chatted, Ming Hu and Jie Li soon reached the top and began to descend toward the city.
Sigh
-Currrrrrr!
Soon afterward, a soldier ogre emerged from the bushes. The ogre’s skin was red, and Delay looked at Ming Hu and said, “I’m sorry.
“Did I catch you?”
“Yes.”
As soon as Ming Hu’s answer came out, Jie Yi threw a white orb at the red ogre, and the red ogre collapsed along with the terminal horse. Minghu and Jieyi began to descend the mountain again. Slaying ogres as they went, Minghu and Jianyu soon arrived at the city walls.
-Courtesy!
-Currrrrr!
The four blue ogres and one red ogre guarding the entrance roared and rushed toward them. Ming Hu and Jie Li quickly disposed of the ogres and entered through the gates.
“Wow.”
Delay marveled at the enormous size of the rice fields in front of him.
“Is he farming?”
“I didn’t see that. I think so.”
Ming Hu and Jie Li talked as they walked across the rice fields toward the ogres’ living quarters.
“But Delay, I have a question for you.”
“Huh? Which one?”
“What do you do for a living?”
Delay, who had been pleased to hear Myung-hoo say that he had questions, opened his mouth to speak, looking slightly disappointed at Myung-hoo’s next words.
“Ah. Kumihoya.”
“Gumiho?”
“Yes, Kumho.”
Ming Hu was speechless for a moment when he heard Delay’s profession. He had been with Gumiho in Gumiho’s forest and their skills were similar, so he assumed it was a job related to Gumiho, but he hadn’t expected it to be a job in itself.
“Why?”
When Ming Hu didn’t say anything, Jie Li asked.
“I’m a little surprised, it’s a hidden class after all. I’m jealous.”
In response to Delay’s question, Ming Hu smiled and said, “Yes. But at Delay’s next words, Ming Hu couldn’t help but panic.
“Do you want to change jobs too? I can help you.”
“…Huh?”
Ming Hu was puzzled by the unexpectedness of Jian Chen’s words. In response to Ming Hu’s question, Jian Chen opened his mouth to speak.
“There’s still a spot open. If I can help you, you’ll be able to switch jobs in no time.”
“…Kumihoro?”
Ming Hu asked, puzzled.
“Yes.”
Jianye nodded and replied, “Yes. Ming Hu said again with an expression of disbelief.
“Really…?”
“Yes, indeed!”
At Myung Hu’s expression and reaction, Delay smiled and continued to speak.
“But when you change jobs, all your skills and levels are reset. Of course, as soon as you change jobs, you get the skills and level up quickly.”
“Oh. Is it resetting?”
Ming Hu, who had been seriously considering whether or not to change his job when Jie Li told him that it was real, relented at Jie Li’s next words. Gumiho, it was a good enough job, but not attractive enough to give up the source of his power.
“Yes, do you want to?”
“Too bad, I have a skill I can’t give up…”
“Really? Let me know if you think of anything later, I’ll help you!”
As they talked, Ming Hu and Jie Li reached the end of the field.
Sigh
Ming Hu peeked through the bushes and surveyed his surroundings. The resident ogres were roaming around, just like the last time he was here.
“I think I’ll just grab it, are you ready?”
“Yes!”
In response to Delay, Ming Hu emerged from the bushes.
-Currrrrrr!
-Currrrrr!
The ogres that had been wandering around spotted Ming Hu and Delay and began to roar at them.
“Moving Strike!”
Ming Hu used a Moving Strike to move to the frontmost ogre, and immediately followed it up with a shout.
“Blood!”
Siaak
At the same time as he shouted, a small hole in the ground, five meters across and five meters long, centered on Ming Hu, began to fill with a red liquid that could only be blood.
“It’s not as big as I thought.
Due to the ogre’s size, the pool of blood didn’t appear to be very large, but Ming Hu couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction nonetheless.
Fast
-Ku…uh
-Cure…
The blue ogre collapsed less than three seconds after entering the pool of blood. Ming Hu turned away from the blue ogres and looked at the red ogres. As expected, the red ogres were completely unaffected by the pool of blood.
-Currrrrr!
Ming Hu ignored the pool of blood and quickly fell backwards as he saw the red ogre running towards him.
“We’ll just have to catch the guys coming out of there.”
Ming Hu, who had fallen behind, looked at Delay and said. True to his word, the pool of blood was filtering out the blue ogres and letting the red ogres through. Jie Yi began firing his skills at the ogre that had exited the pool of blood.
Soon, all the ogres nearby were dead. Ming Hu and Jie Li quickly began picking up items. Ming Hu muttered to himself as he picked up items.
“This is so easy.”
All the items dropped where the blood puddle had been, making it very easy to pick them up. After Ming Hu picked up all the items, he looked at Jie Li. She had already picked up all the items and was waiting for Ming Hu.
“Let’s go!”
Ming Hu began traveling again with a delay. After a few hunts, Ming Hu was able to reach the place that Soma said was the center.
“Is that a dressmaker?”
Delay asked, pointing to the master ogre watching them in the distance. Ming Hu nodded and said, “You’re right.
“Yeah, he’s green, so I’ll get him. And I’ll put a puddle in front of you, and you can catch the ones that come out like you’ve been doing.”
“Got it!”
Ming Hu immediately began to run toward the chief ogre after hearing Jie Li’s answer, but the chief ogre, who had been watching Ming Hu and Jie Li, shouted out as Ming Hu ran toward him and began to run toward him.
-Capture!
At the shout of the boss ogre, the mage ogres and soldier ogres began to run after the boss ogre.
“Moving Strike!”
Ming Hu attacked the leader ogre with a moving strike.
[Poisoned for 20 seconds. -2000 health per second].
-Khahahaha! I can’t die like this!
Despite being attacked by a moving blow that dealt five times the damage of a normal blow, the ogre didn’t fall. Of course, Ming Hu already knew that the Ogre wouldn’t die, and he quickly opened his mouth to shout.
“Blood explosion! Blood puddle!”
-Billion… human guy.
[You have caught the ogre].
[The completed Ogre Power Gauntlet’s options increase Strength by 2].
After using Blood Blast to kill the master ogre, Ming Hu cast Blood Puddle and quickly fell backwards.
-Currrrrrrr!!
-Currrrrrrrr!!
With the death of the leader ogre, the ogres who had been methodically running toward him began to charge at him in a haphazard manner. That was the end of it. Ming Hu looked at the ogres trying to cross the pool of blood with a relaxed expression.
