The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 147:
ac“In the kitchen preparing dinner, the plates rattle and clatter . At the front of the door, the bell goes jingle, jingle," Yong Yong hummed while he sat in front of a floor table .
When did I teach him that song again?
I don't remember .
Maybe that clone **** taught him .
Yong Yong continued to hum the tune and color on drawing paper with a crayon .
Not too long ago, I sketched Disney animation characters on some drawing paper and made a coloring book for Yong Yong .
Since I had finished teaching Yong Yong magic, I'd teach him whatever he wanted now .
Yong Yong likes coloring books .
He really likes coloring princess characters like the Little Mermaid or Cinderella .
Also, he uses the pink crayon a lot .
I secretly felt anxious, even while petting his head .
You're a boy, Yong Yong .
I checked everything .
I changed my mind .
It doesn't matter what my son's tastes are .
Yong Yong is my son regardless of his tastes .
Don't become as uptight as your dad .
I lifted the newspaper instead of groaning and moaning about my problems alone .
This month, the newspaper was shocking starting from the first page .
[Lee Joon Seok has been judged as the first G-Rank Awakened . ]
It's definitely been a long time since Lee Joon Seok got out, but it likewise took just as long to decide his rank .
He finally received a G-Rank designation .
It must be considerably shocking even to the outside .
No, it's just as shocking on the inside since the community's making a fuss .
[Lee Cheol Joong, 94th floor: Does this make any sense? Was this fabricated?]
[Lee Gook , 99th floor: This is a ranking from the Association . What do you mean by fabricated? Say something that makes sense . Seriously . ]
[Jung So Rim, 85th floor: What level was he when he came out, to be G-Rank? From what I remember, the highest Awakened rank is SSS-Rank . ]
Nowadays, the Awakened's rank is generally determined by level .
In the beginning, clear difficulty determined ranks .
However, as the difference between the highest Normal-Difficulty Awakened and the lowest Hard-Difficulty Awakened continued to narrow, one's rank would be readjusted based on the Awakened's individual ability .
So now, the Awakeneds' abilities vary continuously . Though it may be difficult to distinguish between the ranks, that's how it is now .
When I was consulted by the government, I also agreed to it .
Truthfully, the Tutorial System also uses levels as its standard and adjusts the difficulty based on level .
The average level of Normal and Hard Difficulty Awakened who make it out of the Tutorial is 40 - 50 . Awakened who are level 40 - 50 are considered S-Rank .
If they pass level 51, they're recognized as SS-Rank .
The prominent members of the Hard Difficulty were all SS-Rank .
Amongst the members of the Hard Difficulty, there was a small special minority .
They progressed through the same stages and would perhaps discover a Hidden Piece . They were people with a strange fate .
These people were born with exceptional abilities .
Only those minority were assigned SSS-Rank .
You become SSS-Rank at level 101 .
But people widely believed that it was impossible to cross over the wall to SSS-Rank .
There were many people who were SS-Rank, since it encompassed a wide level range of 51 - 91 . However, the problem was that you had to start from level 100 for SSS-Rank .
Of course, there was no one who was above level 110 amongst them .
Of course, there'd sometimes be people who expected me to break it when I clear the Hell Difficulty .
However, in the midst of all that, a monster from the Hard Difficulty showed up .
[Lee Cheol Joong, 94th floor: They say he's level 201 . ]
[Kim Myung Min, 90th floor: Did you . . . say level 201? Is he human?]
[Jung So Rim, 85th floor: That's crazy . ]
[Lee Cheol Joong, 94th floor: I told you that I don't make things up . ]
[Park Joon, 90th floor: In any case, I've decided to leave next year . Even if I leave this year, I'm still old news . ]
[Lee CheolJoong, 94th floor: What's your level right now?]
[Park Joon, 90th floor: Me? Well, I guess I'm level 93 . ]
If you're level 93, say that you're level 93 . What the **** do you mean by, ‘I guess’ .
In the community, Hard Difficulty challengers would converse amongst themselves regarding this or that .
Challengers who were at similar levels usually left the Tutorial at the same time and were typically friendly with one another .
Hard Difficulty, in particular, felt like a club .
[Kim Myung Min, 90th floor: What level was Ho Jae back in day? It might have been several years ago but I think he was over level 200 . ]
[Lee Gook, 99th floor: … I thought you were just making stuff up but I feel like you're telling the truth . ]
[Lee Cheol Joong, 94th floor: What level was he? Why haven't I heard about this?]
[Jung So Rim, 85th floor: I remember . ]
[Choi Min Hwan, 81st floor: I also remember that he was over level 200 . ]
[Lee Cheol Joong, 94th floor: Even if there's a difference, aren't those two on a similar level? They're both over level 200 . ]
[Choi Min Hwan, 81st floor: But that was several years ago . ]
[Lee Ho Jae, 60th floor: I'm level 351 right now, kids . ]
I drove the community into chaos and let them go at it .
Now that I think about, I remember telling the community that I was level 251 .
Lee Joon Seok might've made that his goal . I don't know .
If that 'monster' to level 201 without leveling up but by modifying his level, it meant his actual level was around level 250 .
I thought they might've caught up by now .
Until they heard my level .
They were more shocked than Lee Joon Seok thought .
Even so, there's nothing I can do about it .
Let's just finish reading the newspaper .
The next headline was about Lee Joon Seok .
He had joined up with Kim Min Hyuk's clan .
It looks like Korea will go crazy over this .
Kim Min Hyuk is acting contrary to my expectations .
I didn't expect him to enter politics .
Yeah… I'm sure he'll do fine .
There's nothing that a person can do inside but stay still and wait, even if there's something massive happening on the outside .
On the contrary, there was something outside the 60th floor . Its' presence was even stronger this time .
I felt a small hand poke my side .
It was Yong Yong .
"Hm? What's wrong, Yong Yong?"
At some point, he had finished coloring and covered up his drawing paper .
Yong Yong looked at me, lifted my arm, and snuggled into my chest . He sat on one side of my lap and hugged me .
"What's wrong?"
"Dad, when will uncle come back?"
He was talking about my clone **** .
That guy went to the 61th floor, running away from home like a little girl, and still hadn't come back .
"I wonder . Shouldn't he be back soon?"
Although there hadn't been any word yet, I wasn't really concerned .
In any case, I created that **** using myself as a model .
He was in the process of developing his own personality, so he was different from me and liked different things, but his very nature didn't change .
I soothed Yong Yong but I detected a strong magical shockwave .
Someone was trying to enter the 60th floor against my will .
An unwelcome guest .
It's really surprising .
Lee Yeon Hee hasn’t even come close yet .
Most of the Gods can't enter inside the Tutorial .
The Gods were shackled by several restraints, so they couldn't just do whatever they wanted with the Tutorial .
If one of them wanted to act directly, they'd need the consent of all 100 Gods .
Not too long ago, the Earth Server had over 3000 Gods watching over it .
But now, no God could thoughtlessly take part in the Earth's server .
Therefore, the uninvited guest wasn't a God or their disciples .
There was only one thing it could possibly be .
"Let's go, Yong Yong . I think your uncle is back . "
"Really?"
I carried Yong Yong and arrived in the vicinity of the portal .
When I got near, the space started to distort .
My defense mechanisms and my clone bastard's strength were clashing .
You **** **** .
I told you to train your magic .
It looks like Yong Yong will catch up soon .
I drew on my magic and lifted some of the barriers .
The distortion in the room ceased and the portal began to activate .
"Uncle!"
My clone **** appeared above the portal .
He seemed like he was the same as he always was .
Anyway, now I know why the barriers activated .
What could he have been doing until now? He came covered with the Gods' power .
My clone **** didn't even greet or say anything to Yong Yong . He just strutted over .
I'm feeling uneasy .
That guy's not just some normal crazy **** .
In the future, I expect a grave situation to occur .
I wondered whether I should block Yong Yong's eyes and ears or whether I should stop my clone **** from walking .
In the end, I couldn't come to any decision and the clone **** stopped right in front of Yong Yong and me .
Since his uncle didn't respond, Yong Yong looked taken aback and looked back and forth between me and the clone .
The clone **** looked a little flushed .
His eye were shining brightly, so it looks what I had feared had come to pass .
"I felt the sunlight on my ears until sunset, a joyous trip"
You crazy **** **** .
That's what you say when you're parting ways .
" … C'mon, just do it . They're my favorites lines . "
I should've covered Yong Yong's ears earlier .
Damn it . Damn it . Damn it .
Hey, do you really need to do this?
[Please . ]
"… I laughed and with a smile just like when I had departed, I returned and found peace . ”
…I felt like my organs had just been gouged out .
Truthfully, I had already experienced it a few times, so I knew exactly what it felt like .
My mood soured while the clone **** rejoiced .
"Did you really want to try that that badly?"
The clone **** nodded and took Yong Yong, who was nestled in my arm, and lifted him up .
"Yong Yong, were you well?"
"Yep!"
I left them to converse between them .
I confirmed that the gods' lingering presence couldn't communicate through the 60thfloor .
You have to be meticulous in situations like this .
Also . . .
"Hey, what could you have possible been doing in the 61st floor that you'd be so thickly covered with the gods' power?"
I wanted to let him have some more alone time with Yong Yong but I couldn't help asking him .
The way the clone **** laughed was far too triumphant .
It rubs me the wrong way .
"Well, not much happened . "
"Put down Yong Yong for a minute . "
I want to sock him once .
Rather than putting him down, he cuddled him instead .
"Nothing really happened . Yep . As soon as I got to the 61st floor, they all began to observe me . "
"Watching you? It shouldn't be possible since you're not a challenger . "
"Well, I got a message that they seemed to be in agreement on something and it seems that even I could see it . "
"And?"
"And it seemed like I had gained the rights of a challenger, and I went in front of the Boss Room and checked . "
"What was the result?"
"I didn't . "
" … You aren't even a challenger, but they sent you a message that they're curious?"
"Yeah . I don't have any idea either . "
I had something that I had to have Park Jung-Ah figure out .
Could a non-challenger progress this way?
Could it be a unique case?
"Also, well . . . Since they were interested, I took a little bit of their power . I moved silently and nabbed some . That's why I was bit late . Hoohoo . "
"How much?"
"1263 . "
I was momentarily speechless and stared at the clone **** .
This guy said that he'd messed with over 1200 gods?
"What did they want?"
"They wanted me to become their disciple . "
There was no way the clone **** would accept their request .
I said this before, but his nature is similar to mine .
He rejected my offer to become my disciple so there was no way he'd become a disciple some other God .
"I did well, right? Right? Say something . Main body bastard! Hurry up and bow your head and say thank you . "
You did well .
Congratulations on becoming a cosmic swindler .
"Louder . Even sweeter! Say it out loud!"
"Good job, Lee Ho Chi . "
The man whose face looked like a blooming flower was no more… Lee Ho Chi's face turned dark .
[If you call me that name again . . . ]
"Let's go . "
I ignored his warning and walked back .
For a while, the clone **** droned on about something and followed behind me .
"Where are we going?"
"What do you mean by 'where'? We're going to the lab . "
A god's power isn't simply a high-ranking skill .
Through the process of becoming a God, they gain an 'authority . '
Their authority is their identity as well as their core .
Just by digging them up one by one, I can raise greatly raise my level .
I had already dissected the authority skills and I succeeded in modifying them .
That's why, the general magic I created had been able to advance to the next level .
However, I can't create authorities on my own yet .
My limit was modifying authorities that already existed .
When I was blocked by a wall, I needed new ideas or new materials and the clone **** had brought me some materials just in time .
There were more than 1200 authorities inside .
Therefore, we obviously had to go to the lab .
"Hey, I just came back . Can't we start tomorrow?"
"Nope . We're working through the night starting today . "
