YM778.TV Chapter 210 - Making Charcoal With The World Tree
PR: MattForgenti
[It has been revealed that the user who climbed the Hall of Kings twice not too long ago was in fact, the Food God, User Minhyuk.]
[Have you ever heard of a production class climbing the Hall of Kings?]
[No, not at all. Except for the mysterious user named ‘Calla’, all of the information of the people who ascended the Hall of Kings are publicly available. And all of them are combat classes.]
[But a question arises. Can a Lv355 production class player really participate in this undergoing competition?]
[It was highly likely that he climbed the Hall of Kings through an ‘SSS’-ranked quest at his level.]
[Unfortunately, I think the player who climbed the Hall of Kings, Minhyuk, will be trampled by the players in this competition.]
[All of the players will definitely attack Player Minhyuk. After all, it will be an honor for them to defeat a player who’s sitting on the throne.]
[It is unfortunate, but I think Player Minhyuk will only last 10 minutes inside.]
But not long after, the commentator who just said those words had to swallow them back down.
[One kill! Double kill! Triple kill! Quadra kill! Th, the scene in front of me is too ridiculous!!!]
The excited voice of the commentator as well as the cheers from the crowd began to shake the world. All of them were shouting in shock.
Meanwhile, Locke was leaning against a wall. He heard something walking inside.
‘An ant?’
He grinned. He was a loser in the first place so how could he even think that he was winning?
Ah, come to think of it, I used to think of this in the past.
It was at the time when Lee Sungmin robbed him of his money and beat him up. He believed that he had no use in this world. He was a man that was born to the world but was not needed. He felt so frustrated back then. But at that time, that punk told him……
‘What are you saying? Aren’t you our country’s best pro-gamer?’
And the steps of the creature that he thought was an ant stopped in front of him.
“What’s wrong with our country’s best gamer?”
Locke’s eyes slowly opened.
There he was, reaching his hands out to him.
***
When Minhyuk participated in the War of the World Tree, many of the commentators questioned him and his abilities. Even the audience was also agitated.
However, he was still warped in the competition. And Minhyuk who was being warped recalled something.
‘It was definitely an ant cave over there.’
He started running along the places that he had seen on the screen. His reason for doing this was something simple.
‘Jisoo. You……’
He had heard what happened to Jisoo from Jihye. He did not know the exact things that happened but he was sure of one thing. Jisoo was criticized by a lot of people because he tried to protect Minhyuk. And Blackstone was definitely in this competition. Of course, they might also be putting pressure on Locke and Khan because of their overwhelming performance.
Just as he was running like that, a bright light bursted out of the World Tree as it covered almost everything in sight. The light even covered and surrounded Minhyuk.
[The Blessings of the World Tree.]
[The players abilities and skills are temporarily made equal.]
[The abilities and skills of the termites have been lowered compared to some players.]
[The Blessings of the World Tree will last for 20 minutes.]
Even after he heard the notifications, Minhyuk still ran. When he saw four people coming out of one of the ant caves, he gripped his sword tightly.
“......”
They were Becker, Jahdi, Kelman and Gullen. They smirked deviously when they caught sight of Minhyuk.
‘A pumpkin got entangled in the vine.’
The fact that Minhyuk, who was in front of them, was the Frying Pan Killer was something that was already publicly known. And it was because they knew this that’s why Callauhel wanted to step on Legend Guild.
[Ah! Player Minhyuk! He’s facing four players!]
[He’s in trouble. He’s in trouble! All of the players have the same stats right now. In other words, this is a fight about control! One person has to fight against four people…… the odds are slim!]
[There are even rumors that User Becker has been playing judo for years. That’s not all. I’ve seen in an interview before that Jahdi and Kelman have been steadily working out to build up their stamina!]
[Ah, Player Minhyuk. This is what they meant when they said that crisis comes at the time when you’re trying to make a breakthrough!]
According to Becker’s information, the Frying Pan Killer is extremely strong.
Lv 355?
He was something that they couldn’t ignore. However, it was a different story if it was in the ‘game’. Right now, it was no different from reality.
Along with those thoughts, Becker kicked the ground as he rushed towards Minhyuk.
[Here comes Player Becker!]
[He’s being followed by the other three players!]
[If he gets caught by Player Becker just once, then Player Minhyuk will definitely be thrown down to the ground!]
Becker reached for the hem of his clothes.
‘He’s no different from a normal person anyway so this will be done in just three seconds.’
Thinking this way, Becker narrowed the distance between him and Minhyuk.
Minhyuk stabbed his sword.
Vwooooooong!
Clang!
Becker knocked the sword away with his knuckles as he quickly moved his arms. Then, he tried to grab him by his collar.
‘Caught yo……!’
But something unexpected happened.
Dash!
Minhyuk took two steps back. Then, he put some strength on both of his legs as he spinned once.
“Wh, what……!”
At that moment, Minhyuk’s foot connected with his chin. His jaw was kicked by him with an overwhelming amount of strength.
“Keheok!”
Becker flew backward from the impact. Minhyuk did not miss the gap as he ran towards him with his sword.
Puhaaaak!
Slash!
Stab!
Taking advantage of Becker’s momentary loss of consciousness, Minhyuk quickly dealt with the remaining three people. Becker, who was knocked out of his senses from the blow on his jaw, was shocked to see the sight that unfolded in front of him.
“You……! You……!”
Minhyuk quickly approached him and slashed his chest.
Spurt!
Becker was slowly breaking down. However, Minhyuk clenched his fist as he punched him with all his might.
Punch!
Becker became a cold corpse as he landed after flying away from the impact of the punch.
[One kill! Double kill! Triple kill! Quadra kill! Th, the scene in front of me is too ridiculous!!!]
The commentators couldn’t believe the scene playing out in front of them. One commentator even jumped out of his seat as he tapped the table strongly with his hands.
[How could this be? Is it really possible for one person to deal with four people this fast? It’s like a movie scene is playing in front of me!]
Minhyuk took a step forward as he entered the ant cave. He could see Locke leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
“What’s wrong with our country’s best gamer?”
He walked in front of him as he reached his hands out to him. Locke opened his eyes and grinned at his outstretched hands.
[Ah, Player Minhyuk reached his hands out to Player Locke!]
[Did Player Minhyuk break in to participate in the game to save Player Locke?]
[Since he participated through the Hall of Kings, he can ignore the restriction that only two guild members can participate in the game.]
[Ah, there are tears in Player Locke’s eyes!]
Locke grabbed Minhyuk’s hands. He could feel the tears forming on his eyes. He felt like he only always received Minhyuk’s help.
Then, Minhyuk and Locke both turned off their microphones. Players could opt out and choose to not broadcast their conversations live.
“Why are you here?”
Although he said that, Locke already knew. He knew that he came here to save himself! The tears welled up in his eyes.
It was a truly touching moment.
Aaaaaaah! A scene from the movies!
Then, Minhyuk said to him……
“I’m going to win and make charcoal from the World Tree.”
“......Huh?”
“Think about it. I’ll make charcoal out of the World Tree. Then, I can grill my 3,000 year-old eel with that charcoal. What do you think? Sounds delicious, right? But I’m going to be the only one to eat it. Hehe!”
“......”
Locke burst into tears. The touching moment did not even last for one second.
“Th, that sounds really delicious…… Is that really your only reason?”
“Are there any other reasons? I told you to think about it though? It’s a combination of the 3,000 year-old eel and charcoal made out of the World Tree. Hiyaa. It’s delicious! But why are you lying down there with a look like that says ‘Life……’?”
“......Should I kill him?”
“Huh? What?”
“N, nothing.”
The tears that welled up in his eyes silently flowed and trickled down his face. But he did not feel sad at all right now.
Meanwhile, the commentators…
[Aaaaaah! Player Locke and Player Minhyuk turned off their microphones to talk!]
[Player Locke was so moved that he even burst into tears!]
[Maybe this is how their talk was going. ‘D, did you come here to save me?’ Then, Player Minhyuk told him. ‘Since you’re my colleague, of course I should come and save you!’ Kgghk! What a very touching moment!]
[Ah, My heart feels so warm. Player Locke is trying so hard not to cry. He purposely made a distorted face!!]
[He must be embarrassed!! But this is really a sight to behold!!]
Ignorant of the truth, they just blabbered on in their fantasies.
***
Carr was already leading in the first place after increasing the gap between him and Locke.
[1st place. Carr. 44 Spirit Injections.]
[2nd place. Locke. 37 Spirit Injections.]
[3rd place. Zeriph. 11 Spirit Injections.]
The numbers were overwhelming. In addition, Carr was showing off his brilliant sword skills while facing off more than ten termites after the blessings of the World Tree descended.
[As expected. A London Gold Medalist is really skilled!]
There were currently three screens that had been attracting the most attention. The screens showing Carr, Khan and his enemies, and Minhyuk and Locke. Among the three, there was a lot of attention on Carr’s screen. It was because the screen that showed the skills of a kendo gold medalist while he slaughtered the termites with his pure skills was an amazing sight.
Not long after, Carr saw a user enter his cave after he had hunted termites for quite a long time. It was Jeffie. Jeffie was also a member of Blackstone. However, even though they were keeping others in check, they did not necessarily pay attention to the game.
Then, Jeffie told him……
“Carr-nim. Player Minhyuk participated in this game. He’s the user who climbed the Hall of Kings.”
“......What?”
Carr, who was hunting termites and was listening nonchalantly, couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
Minhyuk?
Carr had just one biggest lump in his life. And that bump was none other than Minhyuk. He was the first person to ever defeat Carr who had never tasted a defeat in his entire life. What was worse was that he even reached his hand out to him after the match ended. Carr clearly hand that he reached out for a handshake as a ‘mockery’ for him. It was an illusion that he had created in his hands to make sense about what happened.
‘I’ll be able to trample him.’
He believed this to be the case. After all, he had been living in the Athlete’s Village ever since middle school until present. He was now different from the past. He firmly believed that he was now a toothless tiger.
If you were that good, then you should have definitely gone and joined the Olympics before, right?
Just as he was thinking about that……
“The problem is that Player Minhyuk is overwhelmingly strong.”
“Strong?”
“Yes. He forced Becker’s team to log out in 20 seconds. With a sword.”
“......!”
Carr’s eyes widened. He knew that this meant that Minhyuk’s skills did not turn rusty at all.
But at that moment……
Dash!
Someone rushed inside the ant cave.
“Catch him!”
“Run!”
Carr turned his head around. He could see Khan being chased around by the other players. Then, Carr felt something behind him.
“Minhyukie, why are you over there? Oops!”
Carr’s head turned around when he heard Khan’s voice. He saw Minhyuk supporting Locke. Carr and Minhyuk’s eyes met in the air.
Bang!
Carr gritted his teeth as he kicked the remaining termite. Then, he began to run towards Minhyuk.
“Kang Minhyuuuuuuuuuuk!”

Note:
I think I used Kenra for the mysterious player in the Hall of Kings but I suddenly thought that it was Callahuel. Since it has the same letters with the first two syllables of Callahuels name in the raws. So we will be using Calla for the mysterious user starting now.
TL’s corner!
Yes. Let’s go!
