Chapter 200

“Myung-hoo, what’s that computer?”
Delay asked.
“…”
But Ming Hu was unable to answer Delay’s question.
‘What is that…’
Neither he nor Ming Hu knew what the computer over there was.
Siaak
“Oh, there it is.”
That’s when Minhyung warped in.
“Huh? What computer?”
Minhyung also noticed the computer and looked at Myung-hoo with a puzzled expression. Myung-hoo shook his head as Min-hyung looked at him.
“I don’t know. It wasn’t there last time I was here.”
Slurring his words, Ming Hu walked over to the computer to see what was floating on the monitor. When he got to the computer and saw what was floating on the monitor, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
“Expedition?”
A window popped up on my monitor, and within that window were several buttons with the words Form, Modify, and Disband Expedition.
“I thought you had to create it to enter the demon realm?”
Minhyung followed him to the computer and looked at the windows and buttons on the monitor. Jaehyun nodded in agreement with Minhyung’s words.
“Really?”
At Minhyung’s words, Ming Hu looked up from his computer and saw the demonic door. He walked over to it and grabbed the doorknob.
[No entry].
[You will not be able to enter unless you have formed an expedition].
As soon as I grabbed the doorknob, a message popped up. It looked like Minhyung was right and they should form an expedition. Myung-hoo returned to the computer, moved the mouse, and pressed the button to form an expedition.
Siaak
He pressed the button, and a circle of magic appeared at his feet, emitting light. At the same time, a new window popped up with a message.
[The first expedition of the Helioca Empire was formed].
After reading the message, Ming Hu looked at the new window that appeared. The words “First Expedition of the Helioca Empire” appeared at the top of the new window, with Ming Hu’s character name and level below it. It was clear that this was Ming Hu’s expedition window that he had just created.
“Here’s the Add button.
Continuing to glance down and noticing the Add button at the very bottom, Myung-Hoo clicked the Add button straight away to add Delay and Minhyung.
Siaak
Then, once again, the magic circle beneath my feet began to glow brightly. It was as if stepping onto the magic circle would join the expedition.
“Ji-yeon, Minhyung, come here.”
At Myung-Hoo’s words, Jae-Hyun and Min-Hyung took their turn at the magic circle.
[Delay has joined the first expedition of the Helioca Empire].
[You have joined the first expedition of the Helioca Empire].
“Let’s go.”
After receiving the message and seeing that Delay and Minhyung had been added to the Expedition window, Ming Hu closed the window and approached the door.
“But… I know you two are strong, but he’s a Demon King, do you think you can catch him?”
Just then, Minhyung said.
“If we get it, we get it, if we don’t, we hire more people.”
Ming Hu smirked at Min Hyung’s comment. It was said to be weak compared to other demons, but a demon was a demon. Minhyung was right, there was a chance that they wouldn’t be able to capture him, but if they couldn’t, they could hire more NPCs to help them.
“Open.”
Soon arriving at the door, Ming Hu grabbed the doorknob.
[The door opens].
Profit
When I grabbed the doorknob, a message appeared and the door began to open automatically.
* * * * *
A breakout room at the headquarters of ‘Mingyung’.
There were currently five people in the breakout room, including Kim Moo-woong and Jang Moo-yeol.
“We’ve gotten tons of requests for information on where the entrance to the Netherworld is, and it’s all over the message boards, and people are wondering why we made the annihilation quest if we don’t even tell them where the door to the Netherworld is.”
Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol nodded their heads in understanding. This reaction from users was fully expected.
“Can’t you tell me?”
Looking at Kim Moo-woong and Jang Moo-yeol nodding, Park Tae-seok asked again, and Kim Moo-woong, who nodded, said with a bitter smile.
“You realize, don’t you, that it’s up to the users to find the location. It would be half the fun if we got involved, and besides…”
Kim trailed off. He couldn’t bring himself to say what followed.
“We don’t know the exact location…
Neither Kim Mu-woong nor Jang Moo-yeol knew where the gate to the demon world was. They only had a vague idea of where it was. At Kim Mu-woong’s words, Park Tae-seok opened his mouth again and spoke.
“You can’t even give me a hint?”
“Hmm.”
Tae-seok Park’s words made Kim think for a moment. He couldn’t give away the location, but he could give a hint about it. However, this was also not something he could decide, so he soon opened his mouth to speak.
“I’ll talk to my teacher.”
“Thank you.”
Kim’s words made Tae-seok Park smile widely.
“Let’s end the meeting here for today.”
“Thank you.”
“We wish you well.”
Shortly afterward, after the meeting, Kim emerged from the breakout room with Jang Moo-yeol.
“Are you really going to tell me?”
As soon as they walked out of the breakout room, Jang looked at Kim and said.
“…?”
Kim Mu-woong looked puzzled at Jang Moo-yeol’s words. Thinking that Kim Mu-woong didn’t understand what he said, Jang Moo-yeol opened his mouth again and spoke.
“The hint at the entrance to the demon realm.”
“Oh, a hint at the entrance to the demon realm? Of course I’ll tell you.”
Kim Mu-woong nodded his head in response to Jang Moo-yeol’s words and pulled out his cell phone from his pocket. Jang Moo-yeol looked a little surprised when Kim Mu-woong took out his phone.
“Do it right now?”
“Uh, it’s only nine days away, so if you’re going to give me a hint, it better be quick.”
“Do you think Master would approve?”
“You thought about that for a moment.”
In response to Jang Moo-yeol’s words, Kim Mu-woong quickly dialed somewhere.
“Yes, Master. I just got out of a meeting, and I wanted to talk to you about something. The players are asking me to tell you where the gate to the Demon Realm is. They asked if I could give them a hint… ah, yes. Oh. Okay.”
After talking for a while, Kim ended the call and put his phone back in his pocket.
“What happened?”
As soon as Kim Mu-woong put his cell phone in, Jang Moo-yeol opened his mouth to ask, and Kim Mu-woong sighed slightly and said, “I’m sorry.
“Failed.”
“Failed?”
“He doesn’t want me to say anything about it, let alone hint at it. He says it’s only nine days away anyway, what kind of a hint is that?”
“Of course you are. I knew it.”
Jang Moo-yeol smirked when he heard Kim Mu-woong’s words. It was as expected.
“It’s only nine days away, and even if I gave you a hint, you’d be gone before you found it.”
“…Right?”
“Maybe that’s why my teacher told me not to give hints without using them.”
That was the moment.
Dada dada dada dada!
As they talked, Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol heard footsteps approaching. They stopped talking and looked in the direction of the footsteps.
“Hee hee hee. There you are.”
Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol couldn’t help but furrow their brows when the master of the footsteps appeared. The master of the footsteps shouldn’t have been here. He was supposed to be in the office on a special assignment from Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol.
“Jun Hyuk, why are you in such a hurry to come back? You’re making people nervous.”
“No way. No?”
Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol looked at Jun Hyuk as he caught his breath and spoke cautiously. Then, after catching his breath, Junhyuk opened his mouth with an urgent look on his face and spoke.
“Expedition formed! Someone found the entrance!”
“Holy shit. Did you really find it?”
“How did you find it?”
At Jun Hyuk’s words, Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol hurriedly walked away.
“Location?”
As Kim hurriedly walked to his office, he asked Junhyuk, who was following behind.
“Underneath the Tower of the Black Moon in the Barton Mountains, Helioca Empire.”
“What, you mean it was there?”
“How did you find that place again…”
Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol, who were amazed at the users’ abilities, were soon able to reach the office and walked up to Jun-hyuk’s computer and started moving the mouse and staring at the monitor.
“…?”
Staring at the monitor, Kim shook his head. He wasn’t the only one. Jang Moo-yeol was also scratching his head. Junhyuk looked at them with a puzzled expression.
“Did I misreport?
From their reactions, it seemed that something had gone wrong. Junhyuk looked embarrassed and carefully opened his mouth to speak.
“Is there… Is there a problem?”
At Junhyuk’s words, Kim Muwoong continued to stare at the monitor and opened his mouth.
“Uh, well… An expedition was formed, but…”
Kim Mu-woong trailed off. Jang Moo-yeol continued.
“You’re not adding people right now, are you?”
“Right… this is the sign that says you’re in.”
“…What is it, just a poke?”
“I guess so, seeing as how it took three of them to get into the realm, and one of them is low-level.”
“Nine days. That’s nine days, so it could be a stabbing. Do you want me to tell Tae-seok Park about this first?”
“Okay. Go ahead and tell me.”
Kim Moo-woong nodded, and Jang Moo-yeol picked up the receiver.
“Aye, Team Leader Park. The entrance to the Demon Realm has been found, and a team has traveled to the Demon Realm. If you receive any inquiries in the future, you can tell them that the entrance has been found and there are users traveling to the Demon Realm. Ah, yes. Thank you.”
Ending the call and putting down the receiver, Jang Moo-yeol looked back at the monitor and said.
“But the nickname Ming Hu… don’t you recognize it?”
