The State of the Earth (2)
Jeong-Do, about an hour before executing the wyvern.
Immediately after leaving the dwarves’ dungeon, the very first thing Jeong-Do did was to receive the load compensation.
A white grade Lilim Bright.
And a new rank, Hefhaestus.
After loading the two, mana and status received compensation, but the most important roulette remained.
Zheng Dao loaded the wired from the album. Now it was an action as natural as breathing.
First, there were the two roulettes, Lilim’s loading rewards.
Anyway, in this case it was a compensation with no room for Jeong-Do’s intervention, so he just waited for the roulette to stop. And soon the roulette stopped.
The two roulettes showed rewards of and respectively.
After pondering for a while, I chose “Nobility-lv.2”. He didn’t think that the talent “Nobility” would be useful for him, but the skill “Eyes of Truth” seemed to be backward compatible with “Void Record” at a glance.
“”The problem is this…”
It was a god-paid compensation slot machine. Jeong-Do took a moment to catch his breath.
He had already decided what to aim for. Jeong-Do was the same as last time, and he intended to aim for the ‘divine power’.
“Let’s go!”
However, he was staggered from the start.
Jeong-Do stopped the roulette wheel, clearly aiming for , but it was that was selected. “Jeong-Do,” he said, raising an eyebrow.
“‘You’re right, the timing was perfect.’
It wasn’t as if I had made a mistake pushing it because I couldn’t predict the inertia like last time. My senses were sharp as always, and I pressed the button precisely at the moment when I thought for sure that the timing was right.
However, the result was not a , but a .
…It was as if someone was operating a slot machine, just like in a real casino. I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it’s a good idea.
“Oops.”
The slot machine was not given much freedom. I had no choice but to target with the intention of going for Hiddenskill to some extent.
The second roulette was a successful . He pressed it with the same feeling as when he selected the first roulette, but this time he succeeded exactly. Inwardly, Jeong-Do was convinced that there was something in the talent of .
Then came the long-awaited third.
Even with his body sight, the roulette wheel was spinning at a speed that he had to rely on luck, and this time, as before, he used the wired “lucky rental”.
“Oh, no.”
As I was about to invest Jeong-Do points and start the roulette again, I found something peculiar.
“Yes?”
There was an “-” symbol popping up in the upper right corner of the slot machine. When I pressed the “Jeong-Do” button, the slot machine in front of me disappeared in an instant.
“What is it?
Jeong-Do didn’t fly!
Jeong-Do rushed to open the state window. He sighed in relief. A new category had appeared at the bottom of the window.
– Currently waiting slot machines: 1
Surprisingly, the slot machine, unlike the previous roulette machines, had a keep feature. You didn’t have to be compensated right away, and you could proceed with the lottery at any time you wanted. Jeong-Do finally remembered – the symbol was like a window minimization button on the Internet.
“‘Well, you can keep this one first.
After looking around Jeong-Do’s room, he sighed. The spine mirror was missing.
“‘Let’s find it before we have an accident.’
The later we visit, the bigger the accident will be. Jeong-Do had such a hunch and immediately set out to find the scutum sutra.
Then, he came across a wyvern in the middle of the city center.

“‘I’m startled. What’s in the middle of the city center?”
John muttered, flicking the dust from his body.
He had only been following Chuck Junkyung’s trail, but now he had met a monster he hadn’t expected. Jeong-Do began to have an ominous feeling that the spinal mirror might be the source of this incident.
“Oh, Team Leader Seo Sang-hee…”
He looked around, and to the extent that he found a face he knew, he shouted with joy… but he couldn’t connect the two until the end. “But he couldn’t make the connection until the end, because Sang-hee and the people around him were looking at him with very strange faces.
He could see Soyun, Hye Sik, and quite a few other familiar faces, but he couldn’t see them properly. That’s how strange the strangers’ gazes were.
They all looked as if they were in denial of reality.
“Why is the atmosphere like this? The team leader is the head here, right?”
“…… Yes. This is a really rude question, but you are also the user who complained about Triple S, right?”
“What kind of prank is this all of a sudden? We haven’t even known each other for a day or two.”
I’m sorry. But humans deny reality when they see something unbelievable.
Twice in a row.
She continued, but to some extent I couldn’t understand what she was saying. This was because Chuck Jun-kyung, who had confirmed that Jeong-Do had appeared, had already fled.
“What’s what?”
Sang-hee confirmed that the spinal mirror was gone once more, and gave up trying to understand reality. It was rather easier to understand if she was under a mental spell and hallucinating.
Tiredly she turned back to face the suppression team and declared.
“I’ve confirmed that the crack is gone. I declare the break suppression successful as of the current time.”
It was the word he wanted more than any other, but no one in the suppression team cheered. Their gaze was still on the wyvern corpse, and on ‘Jeong-Do’.
“‘Jeong-Do-sama? If you don’t mind, may I invite you to our association? I have much to tell you. Especially about the STRANGE Kaihan.”
Degree could only nod at her words, looking tired .
* * * * “Long time no see, everyone. You’ve grown so strong.”
“Yes . Big brother . It’s been a long time.”
“HyungNim! You’ve become so strong! I thought we worked so hard too… Damn, it’s Hyung Nim after all.”
The Jeong-Do guild member who arrived at the association’s reception room finally embraced him.
–They talked about how the guild had been running and how Chul-Yun had managed it.
They proudly talked about how many expeditions they had gone on and how strong they had become.
“He nodded and smiled as he heard the two from Jeong-Do. It was a short speech, but I could tell how hard they had worked so far.
As the guild leader, I couldn’t really take care of the guild members, but I felt sorry for them and admired the fact that they were able to do so well.
“Anyway.
He looked around the two Jeong-Do’s. I couldn’t see anyone who should be nearby.
“‘Where’s Tinia, by the way? Didn’t Tinia come with you this time?”
“…Yes? Is it Tini?”
Hyung Nim. “No matter how much Mr. Soyun likes Tinia, he’s not stubborn enough to take a puppy in front of a monster.”
Jeong-Do gave a strange look at their answer.
What the hell? Don’t tell me they haven’t discovered his true identity yet?
Deciding that he needed to check, Jeong-Do asked Ryu Selin and Chin Chan-Hoo in the reception room for their understanding.
“We’re sorry to bother you for a moment. We have some business to attend to…”
“Yes. Yes, that’s fine. Go right ahead.”
I got up from Jeong-Do’s seat. He walked out of the room and headed for the bathroom at the end of the hallway.
“No.”
After expanding Jeong-Do’s sense of technique and making sure there was no one else around, he summoned Tinia with .

Par!
There was a brief flash of light in the somewhat darkened bathroom, and a puppy-sized Tinia appeared before Jeong-Do. She had a mouthful of fresh, refrigerated meat. Tinia was surprised.
“Um, about?
“It’s been a while. I wanted to ask you how your life on Earth is going…. Well, from the looks of things, you seem to be quite content.”
“…Hmm.”
Tinia turned her face away, perhaps feeling embarrassed at being called out while eating. Of course, that didn’t stop her from throwing away the meat she was eating, and she flattened it in the blink of an eye. Jeong-Do chuckled as he held her in his arms.
She was used to dealing with dogs, but she didn’t protest.
“Yeah? You look like you’ve gained weight?”
“That’s rude! This is just a process of storing up energy in case something happens!” In the wild, you never know when or where danger will strike.”
It didn’t take much convincing to say something like that on a protruding ship… but I wondered about Jeong-Do. “The fact that Tinia Jeong-Do had gained weight didn’t make her any less of a fighter, and more importantly, the fat puppy was very cute.
Jeong-Do asked while petting her.
“Jeong-Do asked as he petted her, “But Soyun still doesn’t seem to know what you really are? Didn’t you reveal it?
Jeong-Do said, “I was going to reveal it at first, but…”
Tinia sighed at the question, “Jeong-Do.
“The girl named Soyun expressed excessive affection for me in this form. I didn’t want to dare break the girl’s dream. I have no problem protecting her in this form.”
“Hmm. Well, if it was you. But it’s going to be hard to keep her this far away from me in no time.”
“Hmph, what do you think I am? My alter ego is seeping into Soyun’s shadow. . so that if she’s in danger, I can quickly transition.”
“‘Oh, what the heck. If you had something like that, you should have put one in my shadow.”
“‘You could always call me if you wanted to, but would you need to? Shadow transference is a physically and psychologically draining technique. There would be no need to use it inefficiently.”
He looked like a wolf that was unnervingly reading and devouring Earth’s food, but Tinia was surprisingly thorough.
After the reunion greeting, Jeong-Do now asked her with a smile and a serious expression.
“Did you notice anything unusual? Especially about the other space guys coming in.”
This was the reason why Jeong-Do hadn’t dared to accompany Tinia on his own expedition.
John also asked her to escort Soyun and gather information about the changes taking place on Earth.
Tinia was from a universe that had experienced even more erosion than Earth, and he judged that she would be able to handle the sudden changes on Earth after living for so many years.
“Peculiarities. The first and most peculiar thing is that this ‘Earth’ universe has an unusually fast erosion rate.”
“How fast? How fast?”
“‘At least twice as fast as any universe I’ve experienced. No, maybe more than three times. It’s definitely not natural.”
She had lived so many years in the world that she was revered as the god of the forest . She was the living history of the universe itself, and I had every reason to trust her judgment.
“The fact that it’s not natural… means that someone is artificially accelerating the erosion.”
“‘It’s reasonable to assume so… “I honestly can’t imagine it.”
“And another thing that has changed.”
“‘Is there more?”
“Yes, I sensed it from the shadows when Soyun went on an expedition in the dungeon recently. The number of STRANGE guys has increased in the dungeon.”
“STRANGE guys? Do you mean monsters?”
“Monsters. As far as I’m concerned, they and humans both look alike, but… well, to borrow your expression for once, monsters is right. I’m starting to smell something fishy about the monsters in the dungeons I’ve been generating lately. Do you remember the last time you called me in the dungeon with your skill?”
At Tinia’s question, he looked back at Jeong-Do’s memory and quickly nodded.
As I recall, it was when I went on an expedition to the SSS class dungeon in Japan at the request of Princess Kako. There, I met the leader of the demon world’s seventh legion and was able to summon Tinia and the enemy Toma to defeat him.
“Yes, I met the Demon Clan. No way. You met the Demon Clan in a dungeon? Did they invade again?”
“No, it wasn’t the Demon Clan. They were the kind of Norchifteens that we often see in our world.”
Speaking of playing, he was one of the monsters that often appeared in dungeons. In other words, the word that Norchiftein appeared in the dungeon was not at all unusual.
However, the degree to which her words were followed could only be seen in the contraction of her brows.
“‘There was even a hint of the Demon Clan mixed in with their scent. I turned it off and on, but you can’t fool my nose. Be careful. The demon world hasn’t given up on Earth yet.”
