Chapter 58

Puck!
It was so close. There was no dodging. The heart shot straight to Ming Hu.
[17 seconds of losing control of the character].
[Reduces magic armor by 30% for 30 seconds].
[All resistances are reduced by 30% for 30 seconds].
“…3 seconds less.
Increased Wisdom by 300. Reduced by 3 seconds. That’s 1 second per 100. Three seconds less is a huge effect, but losing control of your character for 17 seconds is even bigger.
“…”
Ming Hu waited for the next attack. He was no longer afraid. He has over 1.3 million health. No matter how many attacks he takes, he won’t be killed by Wen Qi.
Dada dada dada!
However, Gumiho’s attack did not last. She quickly disappeared from Ming Hu’s sight. When Ming Hu finally broke the spell, he found Kumihō dressed in a new outfit, which gave him an innocent charm.
“Perverted…”
Gumiho muttered to Minghu. As Ming Hu listened to Kumihō’s mutterings, he suddenly realized that this situation was very strange indeed.
‘Is the employee…? Not?’
Now that I think about it, Kumihō looked completely clueless about his question. I thought he might be an employee, but somehow I had a strong feeling he wasn’t.
“…Then what the hell…
I was confused: if you’re not an employee, you’re a user. But a user being a boss monster is ridiculous. That’s when it hit me.
“Why did you think I was a staff member? I’m not an employee, I’m not an NPC, I’m a user.”
Ming Hu was left speechless by Kumihō’s next words. Kumihō was now saying in his own words that he was a user.
“And you said our Miho had some errands to run?”
“What?”
Minghu was a little taken aback by Kumihō’s words. It’s true that you’re looking for Kumihō. But what about us, Miho?
“Please hold on a moment. I’ll call Miho.”
Swoosh! BANG! BANG!
A bright light emanated from the woman he knew as Kumiko and rose into the sky, exploding like a firecracker.
“They’ll be here soon, I call it a delay.”
“…Oh, yeah. It’s called Ming Hu.”
Ming Hu was a bit taken aback by the way Delay introduced himself, saying that he would be back soon. He remembered that just a moment ago, he had attacked her by shouting that she was a pervert, but she introduced herself so casually that she looked like a fairy godmother.
“Uh…?
Suddenly, Ming Hu looked over at Jie Li. She is a user, meaning that the shower scene he saw earlier was literally her shower scene.
“… I apologize for that earlier.”
“Oh… No. I’m being a little harsh, but I was wondering if you’ve seen me around here before. Have you seen me here before? I feel like I know you.”
“I’ve been here before, once as a fox, and again not long ago…”
“You don’t mean the stool…”
“…”
“…”
There was silence between them.
“Wait, but what do you mean Miho is coming?
Ming Hu didn’t understand what Jie Li was saying, but while he was thinking, someone appeared.
“Delay!”
“Ah! Miho!”
Ming Hu looked up at the sound of the voice, and his eyes widened slightly.
Swoosh
Ming Hu looked at the woman running toward him from a distance. The woman had the same face and figure as Jianli. Ming Hu looked back and forth between the woman in front of him and the woman running in the distance.
“Uh…how?”
I was confused, I couldn’t believe that the delay was a gumiho, but there are two gumiho.
“Oh, no!
But when I realized there were two of them, it made sense. The boss here is probably not Jiejie, but Gumiho, who goes by the name Miho. Literally, Delay is just a user.
“But why use the same technology as Kumho?
The more I thought about it, the weirder it was. The delay is obviously the user. But he was strong enough to use Kumho’s skill and deal 300,000 damage in an instant.
“You’re freaking out because she looks just like me. Miho’s transforming into me.”
“…!”
Ming Hu was once again surprised by the words. No matter how much one’s appearance can be changed, there is a law of the immutability of the original plate. This means that Jie Li has a similar, if not identical, appearance to his current face and body.
“…What is it, this smells like…”
Arriving at Myung Hu and Jiayi, Mi Ho frowned slightly, then looked at Myung Hu, and then at Jiayi.
“You, human, why do you smell like an arang?”
“Oh.”
Chuck!
At Miho’s words, Ming Hu showed her the Mark of Arang in his hand. When Miho noticed it, she smiled bewitchingly and began to approach Ming Hu. At that moment, Ming Hu remembered the first time he had met Kumihō. Perhaps his first encounter with Kumihō was not a delay, but Miho before his eyes.
Sigh
Arriving in front of Myung-Hoo, Miho placed her hand on Myung-Hoo’s neck and slowly lowered it, muttering to herself.
“How did I… get this?”
“Uhm. Well.”
Ming Hu couldn’t answer Miho’s question. Miho’s touch was about to reach a sensitive spot. Just because it’s virtual reality doesn’t mean you can’t feel it. On the contrary, it’s more sensitive.
“Hey, Miho, don’t do that to me!”
Just then, Delay, watching from behind, called out.
“Kahahaha! Got it!”
Miho stopped touching and took a step back.
“Human, how did you get that?”
Then, with a serious expression on his face, he turned back to Ming Hu.
“I got it.”
“Are you… Strong?”
“…”
Ming Hu smiled without saying a word. Then he handed the mark to Miho. Miho took the mark and tucked it between her breasts as if to say, “Look. Ming Hu looked at it and then at Jian Chen. Jie Li was glaring at him.
“Well done, and in return…”
Miho suddenly looked at Ming Hu with a bewitching look and voice. Then slowly, Miho’s face approached Ming Hu. Ming Hu swallowed hard as he looked at Mi Ho’s approaching face.
“Just wait… I’ll come back with a sign.”
Miho whispered in Ming Hu’s ear. Then Miho began to run fast somewhere. It looked like she was going to get something.
“…”
Ming Hu had a wistful look on his face. Then he looked over at Jie Li. Jian Chen was frowning and glaring at Ming Hu.
“…”
Ming Hu quickly turned his attention back to Jie Li and stared into space. Soon, Miho returned with a box.
“Here, this is my reward for taking care of that Arang guy! Next time you kill an Arang guy, bring me a marker, and the more you collect, the better I’ll give you!”
“Got it.”
“Uh…?
Ming Hu felt a momentary sense of strangeness at Miho’s words, for now Miho was speaking as if she knew Aang would be Regen again.
“Here!”
Ming Hu accepted the box that Miho handed him. Inside was a white bead, 7 centimeters in diameter.
[You have obtained an orb containing the energy of Gumiho].
Picking up the orb, Ming Hu checked its information.

An orb imbued with the energy of Gumiho. The finest ingredients.
“Is this for making mugu?
As Ming Hu had suspected, the beads were the unique material used to make the armor. Once he had the beads in his inventory, Ming Hu saw Miho and Jie Jie looking at him.
“…”
“…”
“…”
There was silence between the three of them.
“Well, what else is there to say? Here we go!”
Just then, Miho broke the silence. She quickly walked away from the table. With Miho gone, Myung-Hoo and Jie-Jie were left in the room. Before there was silence again, Myung-Hoo spoke to Ji-Yeon.
“Are you still going to be here?”
“Oh. Yeah. I don’t get online much anyway, and there’s a lot of fun stuff going on here.”
“I see.”
“…”
“…”
Again there was silence between them. Ming Hu broke the silence and said
“Well, then. I’ll leave you to it, have fun.”
“Oh, yeah. Have fun.”
Ming Hu bowed and returned the greeting, then opened the portal to Himise, and as he walked through it, he saw Jie Yi looking at him before he entered. What a beautiful woman she was.
Siaak
After traveling to Himise, Ming Hu immediately opened the quest window.

With a brief smile, Ming Hu closed the quest window and headed for the chief's house.
"Welcome!"
"Here are the ingredients you said!"
"Oh, wait a minute!"
I handed him the ingredients, and he took them with a smile. He told her to wait and went into the room. A short time later, he emerged from the room with three elixirs.

[You have gained 3 Elixirs of Health].
"Do you need any more ingredients?"
"Oh! Of course I have it, but I need it for this…"
Gadagu trailed off and looked at Ming Hu. Ming Hu smiled at the look in his eyes and opened his mouth to speak.
"Just tell me and I'll get it for you."
"Well…"
Gadergu paused again, then opened his mouth to speak.
"I need 20 troll blood, 20 ogre hearts, and 5 giant ogre hearts. All from deep in the Broth Mountains. It's a risky endeavor. No, you'll have to risk death. Can you get them for me?"
