Guild & Friend Update - [ Chapter - 45 ]

Then Ho-Seok went out of the hidden area of the volcano to look for the reason he went to the sixth floor, it was because it was the hottest level below the tenth floor and it was the best he could do for now.

So then Ho-Seok wanted to try and get a hell fire spirit, it was a necessary thing if you want to enchant weapons and equipment with magic because the fire transfers the mana you put into every hit into the weapon or equipment your making.

Then Ho-Seok was walking around the place where he hears someone calling his name and it sounded familiar, "Ho-Seok! Is that you?" then Ho-Seok turned his head and saw it was Grief calling him.

After Grief caught up to Ho-Seok he then waited for a little bit to catch his breath and then said to him, "Do you want to party together for this floor? I have loads of information on this floor and I could use your strength.".

Ho-Seok thought he might need a teammate because on this floor is where the tower starts recording what you do and there is the prestige rankings and it might become too suspicious if he gets a lot of score alone.

And so he thought it would be a better idea to cover it up that Grief was just carrying him on the rankings and so Ho-Seok asked the question since he needed to know one thing, "Are you going to use me for prestige and money?".

Then Grief looked a bit surprised since he knew he could easily lie about it but he answered it anyway and then he said, "No, I won't this will be a give and take partnership." then Ho-Seok's ability confirmed it was true.

But Ho-Seok knew it definitely wasn't because he definitely knew more about the sixth floor than him since he has already reached that floor and so Ho-Seok didn't need his information, he just wanted to use him as cover.

Then Ho-Seok told him, "Ok your telling the truth." then he released a bit of blood lust and his aura and gestured for him to follow him and the people around him got scared a no one knew who did it since he covered the whole area in an instant.

So it was almost impossible to tell that it originated from him so he knew he was safe and it spooked Gried for a bit but then they went to the hidden area at the active volcano and Grief was a bit worried about that.

Then he said with a shaking voice, "Are you sure you want to go there? You know that's an active volcano right?" Ho-Seok didn't answer him and gestured to him to keep following him then they went through and invisble wall.

After that they both entered to the hidden area and it looked like it had already been used and it was since Ho-Seok was there for a bit and then he said, "This will be our base of operations for now.".

Grief was a bit surprised by this but before he could ask anything Ho-Seok then said, "I don't need you for anything like information, power, money, I have all of those and more but what I need is a cover.".

When he said that Grief was a bit shocked and then he continued, "I needed someone that was powerful to hide my prestige ranking so that I'll be assumed to be weak and so I won't draw attention to myself, do you understand?".

Then Grief answered with his voice even more shaky than before, "Y-Yes", Ho-Seok smiled then dropped the whole big boss act then he went to the place and started creating furniture from his skills.

He then asked, "Hey Grief, if you need anything tell me like I said I have a lot of things, if you need it just ask and if you need help, I will help.", Grief just uttered, "Thanks..." while watching Ho-Seok.

As he created that empty looking cave into a room that looked like it would be worth a lot of money and then Ho-Seok went to the entrance of the hidden cave then summoned the two shark warriors.

Grief was immediately surprised by them because their aura were as strong as him and so he then asked, "Are they your strongest summons?", Ho-Seok answered without any care while going back to working on the place.

"No, they are one of the weaker ones actually but I guess they are strong but I have a weaker and stronger summons than them.", he said it casually and this literally broke Grief because he took pride in his strength.

And now he was just being used as a cover for someone clearly stronger and more powerful than him so he was a bit scared to disagree with him since the shark warriors he summoned were actually weaker than his main summons.

There was also another reason why Ho-Seok wanted to make a base, the tower and the system were going to have amother update and people can own land now and have friends and official guild as well.

And there were big bonuses for guilds as well so Ho-Seok wanted to have one and Ho-Seok started creating a farming area for rare and legendary crops he collected and then he summoned skeleton farmers.

Then they started gardening the crops then Ho-Seok went onto the player's store and sold some stuff he got, it wasn't a lot but it was a hefty sum and so Ho-Seok bought loads of elements stones for the base.

Especially Fire and Water stones since they could be used for many things like drinking, watering, heat, washing, cleaning, ect. and this surprised Grief since the hige oile he bought was huge.

So he realized he wasn't lying when he said he had a lot of money and this made him feel even more useful but then Ho-Seok then said, "Go and place this around in the places I marked, I don't need you yet.".

Grief was a bit sad because he was praised as a genius and now he was being treated as a repair man by someone who was stronger than him but then Ho-Seok threw a large dimensional pouch at him.

Then he said, "It's full of things for your growth, they are a bit useless to me but it will definitely help you become stronger." then Grief opened the bag and saw many glorious items that would definitely help him get stronger.

So then he unknowingly became more loyal to Ho-Seok but then Ho-Seok summoned all of his main summons and told them they could go back to what they were doing before he summoned them and then they left.
