Chapter 179 – Additional Traits (?)

When he opened his eyes again after losing consciousness, he thought he woke up after a few days of sound sleep, but he said he woke up after only sleeping for 2 hours.
Instead, it was Dasol who fell into a deep sleep on behalf of Minseo and Juha, Kim Hyunjun and Jackson, Kim Jihoon and Kwon Juhyuk, as well as me.
No matter how many traits related to stamina you get, you can’t help but feel tired because you saved a few people who wouldn’t be surprised if they died soon.

“But what happened? It’s like that Dasol got his own traits, and I heard that there were also sidebars there.”
“That is… That’s a long story to say. I’ll take it slow as I go.”

Nodding my head at Minseo’s words, I grabbed Juha’s head as if to press down on him, who was listening to Kwon Juhyuk’s nagging voice, and turned his face to face me.

“… Sorry…”
“You know, don’t do that again. It’s true that I bought it thanks to you and I’m so grateful, but don’t do that again in the future. Do you think I can stretch out and sleep if you die instead of me?”
“All right… I understand, so don’t even help my brother… Because my brother is enough…”
“Stop what?! Ha Jin-ah, do more! Make it stronger! And I haven’t even started yet?! What happened to the kid in that situation..!”
“… “

Joo-Ha, who looks like she’s about to lose her mind, and Joo-Hyuk Kwon, who clings to her and constantly nags at her.
That bastard also makes a nagging noise once in a while.
Well, even if it were me, if my sister did the same thing as Juha, I would have nagged her until her ears bleed.
No, he must have bound her limbs and imprisoned her somewhere.
Don’t do anything stupid again.
So I turned away coldly, ignoring Juha’s eyes asking for help.

“Then shall we go back now? You can pick up the dropped weapon next time.”
“Yes! Leader! Everyone charge forward!!”
“Go, Your Majesty. I will take you there.”
“Oops!! Oops!!”
“Oops!! Ugh!!!”
“Aww!!! Ugh!!!!”

Numbers 1 and 5 step out in front of me, and numbers 2, 3, and 4 are hanging from traffic lights with their entire bodies tied to ropes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I did was to hang those children there.
But something is wrong… Why are you embarrassed again?
I definitely killed Tanjiro, I killed the doctor who said he was doing biological experiments, and I killed all 7 samurai in Shibaru…
What is this nasty feeling?

“Well, you’ll remember it when you go.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Nothing. Let’s stop~”

Casting – casting –

“Everyone is watching..!!”

I quickly covered my hips with both hands and smiled at Minseo, who glared at me, and headed for Namsan where people are still staying.
And it was a fact that I only found out a few days later, but it is said that someone’s mournful cries resonated incessantly in this place where we left for a while.
Just before the helicopter exploded, Woo Jin-hwan’s pitiful cry sounded as he managed to get out of his body.

“Sobbing… Take me too… “

And fortunately, Woo Jin-hwan was safely rescued a few days later by people who came to retrieve the weapons left by the dead sidebars.
Although it was quite difficult to rescue it because it was hanging upside down on an electric wire somewhere.

***

“… “
“… “
“… “
“… “
“… “

The first thing Kim Hyeon-jun, Jackson, Kwon Ju-hyeok, and Kim Ji-hoon did after arriving at Namsan was to lay down a wreath to mourn the dead.
It is much smaller than the graves we commonly know, but the numerous mounds rising small tell us how many people died.
More than twice as many people lost their lives, about 80 and 40 wounded.
Without me, Hyun-Jun Kim, Jackson, or Ji-Hoon Kim, the desperate scenes of the people who dealt with two warriors of 7 and dozens of subordinates seem to be drawn before my eyes.
Of course, it is said that not all of them were killed by the sidebar.
It is said that almost half of the people died by zombies and monsters that surrounded Namsan.
However, their deaths would not have happened without them.
Anyways, the puppies are the problem.

“Rest comfortably there, Taejin hyung. Now I call you brother.”
“… “
“… “
“… “
“… “

As I hear my words of condolences for the deceased Ahn Tae-jin, the four people lined up next to me stare at me strangely.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I am not dead yet.”
“Wow! Damn, surprise! Why are you alive?!”
“Can’t it be alive?!”

With the sudden appearance of Ahn Tae-jin, who was thought to have died since he was invisible from the time of arrival, Jin In-soo, who thought he would have died as well, appeared together.

“Excuse me… President… “
“That’s right, he takes care of it terribly.”
“Are you alive?”
“Being the president… Obviously alive I saw it in the bunker.”
“Then where is the President now?!”
“How do I know?”
“… Yes?”

I must have met the president in an underground bunker.
But now I don’t know where it is.
I told them to run away if they wanted to live, because the roads diverged after I left, so they could have come back to the bunker.
Hearing my words, Jin In-soo asked Kim Hyeon-joon and, with ten security guards, set out to find the president and others who had fled from the bunker.
By the way, seeing that graves are made for the dead and people lay flowers in mourning, it seems that the completely collapsed society and order are gradually being revived, centering on the few people.
Well, it comes back. Those zombies and monsters are the best.

“Certainly check! Check the places you checked!!”
“Don’t just go beyond the closed area! Because there could be a shadow or it could have infiltrated in some other way!”
“Ahh!! This is the queen!!”
“This crazy bastard just built a nest!!”
“Please help me here!!”

Of course, those of us who came down Namsan returned to the shelter.
And zombies and monsters roaming the shelter as if it were their own house in the few days we were away.
Perhaps because the iron gates were left wide open, it was so full of zombies and monsters that there was no difference between the outside and the inside of the shelter.

“Captain! Something is wrong here!!”
-This is an underground power plant. Captain, there’s something strange about this place.
“What’s this..?”
“Don’t touch me! Do you know what it is?! Captain! Please check from here!!”

People looking for Kim Hyun-joon here and there.
Thanks to this, Kim Hyeon-joon, who had been running around the shelter without a break, suddenly stopped and turned his head toward me, who was lying under the shade of a tree.

“What?”
“What are you guys doing there..!”
“Rest.”
“… “
“Originally, people like me move only when absolutely necessary. Unlike you, I am a high-class manpower. Ah! And quickly turn the generator on. You’re going to die of heat!”

Wow!!

I can hear the grinding of my teeth up here, but no matter how annoyed I am, I can’t say anything right now.
Even though it’s messy, this peace now has been regained thanks to me.
Ah, because of me and Dasol.

“Don’t even think about nagging. Wake up.”
“Ugh… “
“… “

Seeing Dasol lying curled up like a shrimp on my stomach and sleeping with a squid in his mouth that no longer came out even after washing, Kim Hyun-joon gave up nagging and ran to the people who were desperately looking for him. Taking a break, I started checking the piled up messages one by one.

[Killed the player.]

[Choose one of the four characteristics.]
[Sprint (B)+2, Strong Shield (B)+1, Counterattack (B), Battle Awakening (B)]

A message window that pops up countless times.
99% of them were useless, so I just threw them away without even reading them. As I searched through the message window to see what characteristics I got from killing Tanjiro, I fixed my eyes on a slightly unfamiliar phrase for a moment.

[Acquisition of attributes, additional attributes (?).]

Eh?
I didn’t even select it, but I checked the characteristics?
Damn, this is not it!
All of my traits are grade A.
I don’t know how good the trait with that question mark is, but there’s no guarantee that it’s better than A-class, so it’s ridiculous that the system acquired the trait at will.
No, that shouldn’t happen.
If the worst sprint is blown, it is tolerable, but if anything else is blown, this is serious enough that you have to call the real customer service right away to complain.

“Information confirmation!”

『Name: Kang Ha-jin (27)
Height: 183 cm Weight: 77 kg
Attributes: Transcendental Body (A), Swiftness (A), Knight on the battlefield (A), Berserker (A), Additional Attributes (?)
Coins: 10789
[Strength Lv.47] [Agility Lv.50] [Stamina Lv.43] [Luck Lv.20]』

“… What? One Two Three Four Five. Five… Five?”

The number of attributes is limited to 4.
Of course, in the fight with Tanjiro, I thought that if I increased my luck, I might be able to acquire more attributes, but I acquired the fifth attribute without even increasing my luck.
What the hell is it?

“Check additional attributes.”

『Additional attribute (?) – One additional attribute can be possessed. Additional attributes do not affect the number of attributes.』

“Heh… Hehe… “
“Ugh… Mister… “
“Oh sorry. Keep sleeping sleep more. Sleep well, mister, I’ll be quiet now. Heh heh heh… “
“Hey… “
“Sorry, keuhuh… “

Going crazy.
Laughter flows non-stop.
In the end, Dasol rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up and walked to the infirmary where the messy interior was being cleaned up.

“Dasol!!!”
“No!!!”
“Damage!!!”
“Ugh… “

Dasol rubs his sleepy eyes and turns his head at the people’s cries, and a zombie attacks Dasol.

“Aaaaa!!!”
“Kyaaaaak

Kwadeuk!!

A zombie bites Dasol’s right arm as she lifts it up while rubbing her eyes.
And Dasol turned her head towards me.
Oh, for reference, the scream from earlier was not Dasol’s scream, but someone else’s scream after seeing a zombie attack Dasol.

“Ugh… Uncle, I’m sleepy…”
“Chu-ju-chu-chu~ Okay. Uncle will take it off right away.”

Kwadeuk!! Kwadeuk!!

I approached the zombie who was eagerly biting Dasol’s arm and grabbed the lower jaw and pulled it out.

“Go and ask your aunt doctor for an injection~”
“Yes… “
“… “
“… “
“… “

People who are at a loss for what to say at the sight of Dasol, who seems to be okay despite being bitten by a zombie, and me who seems to be completely okay, stand still and stare at me and Dasol in turn.

“Go and see the work.”
“Ah yes…”
“Go, let’s go… “
“Huh? Huh… “

The three people turned away with embarrassed faces and I, who threw the head of the zombie with its jaw pulled out and kicked it off like a goalkeeper, went back to the shade and lay flat.
The reason I can be so calm is because Dasol’s physical stat is a whopping 40, plus an additional 65% increase with his unyielding will and steel stamina, plus 20% defense.
Even if a zombie asks, it doesn’t even show.
By the way, it’s an additional feature… So you’re saying I can get one more trait in this state?
If you still don’t know, let’s check first.

Swish!!

Jumping up like a spring, I jumped up and ran to the place where I had heard the sound of the queen a moment ago.
Basically, a zombie queen is someone who unconditionally possesses at least one of her traits.
No, because it’s a year.

“Keeeee!!!”
“Everyone be careful! I jumped and became many times stronger!!”
“I know!”
“Shouldn’t we call Jackson at least?!”
“What kind of Jackson are you calling?! Go and someone bring Joo Hyuk!!”

Also, these people know.
Kwon Joo-hyuk is good at being right.
People screaming at her, surrounded by the zombie queen who anyway pops out into her parade ground and slams her six feet down in all directions.
Are you still only at this level?
No matter how strong you become, it’s time to take care of the queen yourself.
But what else is a jump?

“What is a jump?”
“Ha, Mr. Hajin… “
“No! This is ours!”
“Hajin-ssi already said that all of his characteristics are A-class!”
“Rumors go fast… By the way, what is jumping?”
“Dr. “
“Ah… What else do I say Excuse me then.”
“Mr. Hajin!!!”
“I’ll bring a queen next time. I have something to check now.”
“Keeeee!!!!”

The queen steps forward and screams at me as I approach.
I don’t need to kill the queen to see if I can get her fifth trait.
You’ll find out if you acquire the characteristics of Tanjiro that you haven’t chosen yet.
However, I felt like it would be more thrilling to recognize it like this, so I just chose a method that seemed thrilling.
Originally, the most delicious thing is to save it and eat it.

Hey profit!!
Quagga Gagagak!!!

The bridge, which had been slamming down in all directions to prevent people from approaching, falls toward me as I slowly walk.
Seeing this, there is something to be thankful for.
Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to become this strong in such a short period of time.
As soon as the queen avoided all six legs by taking a step to the side, the front leg that fell first fell again.

Hey profit!!!
Snap-

Right hand holding the falling queen’s paw.
Then, with her right hand pulled behind her hips, the queen zombie’s large body comes crashing down toward me.
My knees rise in line with it.

Kwajik!!!
Whii Iik – Took!! Dorreuk-

The half-distorted head of the zombie queen, half-distorted from the bottom of her up, separated from her body and soared into the air, before falling to the ground and spinning like a topless top, completely stopping her movement.
And a message window floating in front of my eyes.

[Attributes can be acquired.]
[Choose one of the three characteristics.]
[Steel Stamina (B), Rage (C), Haste (C)]

It’s definitely stronger and gives you better traits.
Anyway, that’s not important right now.

“Heh heh… “

The sound of laughter coming out of my mouth fills the desolate surroundings.
Why are you laughing
If you don’t get prompted to select a talent to switch to, it just means you get one more talent.

Swish-

I waved my hand lightly and sent it off without selecting the characteristics of the zombie queen that people wanted to have. I checked the message window that I hadn’t checked yet.

[Killed the player.]
[Attributes can be acquired.]
[Choose one of the four characteristics.]
[Transcendent Body (A)+3, Runaway (A)+1, Sword Skill (A)+2, Shunbo (A)+2, Selflessness (?)]

“Fuck… What on earth should I choose?!”
