After Jeong Woobin rescued Lee Yuchan and disappeared with another companion, I pressed the glowing exclamation mark to check the essential messages.
[You have killed a player.]
[You acquire 156 coins.]
Wow, jackpot.
I killed one bastard and got 156 coins.
Then now, including the coins I previously had, that makes 289 coins.
[Agility Lv.2]-20 coins
[Agility Lv.3]-40 coins
[Agility Lv.4]-60 coins
[Agility Lv.5]-80 coins
[Agility Lv.6]-100 coins
[Agility Lv.7]-120 coins
[Agility Lv.8]-140 coins
[Agility Lv.9]-160 coins
[Agility Lv.10]-200 coins
As you can tell from the stat prices listed in the shop, what used to steadily increase by 20 coins jumps up by double to 40 coins in the case of level 10.
That means reaching level 10 in a stat creates a slightly bigger difference.
Well, or maybe not.
Shall I raise it and check whether a difference is made or not?
"Shop, purchase Agility level 10."
[Purchase Agility Lv.10 (200 coins).]
[Player information is updated.]
Up to this point, the messages were no different from before.
However, there is some other change.
Because a new message window I've never seen before popped up.
[Agility Lv.10 has been achieved.]
[Congratulations.]
"......Congratulations? What the fuck..?! Is this it?! Is this really it?! What kind of bullshit dogshit...!"
Fucking hell, just congratulations?! Congratulations?!
Do you think I raised my stats just to get this kind of congratulatory message?!
If no message popped up at all, I wouldn't have even secretly hoped for anything.
This is like messing with people, seriously..!
Hoo... Let's calm down. Getting mad at something without substance is only my loss.
Right, let's think positively.
Getting a congratulatory message is how grea—
"The fuck is great about it?!"
Kwang!!!
Kudangtangtang-!!
Along with a chair rolling across the floor, Minseo's voice is heard.
"It's fine. He's not a crazy person."
"R-really, are you sure he's fine...?"
"Yes, he gets like that sometimes."
"Ah..."
"Fucking hell! Stop spouting useless nonsense and spill where the hideout is, you ugly bitch!!"
Yelling in fury, I walked up to the ugly bitch sitting in the chair.
Then, resting both hands on my slightly bent knees and sticking my butt out, I matched eye level with the ugly woman.
"I am a crazy bastard. So talk nicely while I'm asking. If you don't tell me within 5 seconds, I'm going to chop off your left arm first."
"......"
"Tell her. Otherwise, it really gets cut off."
Yeah, well done.
Keep chiming in right by my side like that.
Following Minseo's backing up, I stood up, walked over to a desk a short distance away, and picked up the knife placed on top.
Because what I said wasn't a joke or a bluff.
If she really doesn't talk, I gotta cut it off.
"Now 2 seconds left."
"W-wait a minute!! Exactly why are you guys heading to where we are..."
"1 second... Ding."
Returning to the front of the ugly bitch, I raised the knife to an appropriate height along with the finished count and forcefully lowere—
"I'll talk!! It takes less than 5 minutes from here!!"
"That was close."
Glulp-
As the clothes covering the shoulder touched by the blade slowly stained with blood, the ugly bitch's Adam's apple involuntarily gulped.
If she had spoken just a tiny bit later, it really would have been cut off.
"So what's the exact location?"
"B-before that... are you really not killing anyone..."
Kkuuuuk!!
"Argh!!!"
Along with a scream bursting out from the blade digging in a bit deeper, a voice full of urgency pours out.
"Go down, turn into the alley by the building with the cafe, and a hair salon will show up! Go in a little bit further from there and an intersection comes up, turn left there and right again..."
"Fucking hell, it's so damn complicated.. Shut up and lead the way."
For now, since Jeong Woobin dragged away most of the zombies, there's no major problem even if we go outside now.
And I'm not particularly worried about whether there's someone stronger than me over there.
If there were someone stronger than me, she wouldn't have tried this hard not to reveal the location of the hideout.
Instead, she would have tried to lead me there.
"By the way, what kind of relationship do you have with those people?"
"Ah, that is..."
The ugly bitch hesitates for a moment to answer Minseo's question as they walk down the building stairs.
I don't particularly care what kind of relationship they have with Jeong Woobin's group, but my ears naturally perk up at the sounds coming from beside me.
"Actually... we and those folks are people who survived together.. Not from the very beginning, but..."
"Together?? Then why..."
"Because our methods were different.."
"Methods??"
Talking in circles and making it so long.
To briefly summarize that ugly bitch's words, it's like this.
On the 3rd day after the zombies appeared, two groups of survivors from buildings almost directly across from each other with a single road between them joined forces, making some sacrifices to combine their strength.
About 15 people started living together like that, and while pondering about this system and figuring out various facts just like me, they adapted well to the crazy world in their own way and survived until now.
However, they ended up splitting apart 4 days ago when a conflict began between the men's representative, Jeong Woobin, and a woman named Kwon Juha, the women's representative, turning them into a chasing-and-chased relationship now.
With Kwon Juha at the forefront, a group consisting of a majority of women and a minority of men ran away taking the water and food jointly gathered with Jeong Woobin's group.
"Crazy bitches. You bitches are in the wrong."
"That's not it! We just fairly took our share and left!"
"......"
"S-sorry.."
"Don't yell at me from now on. If you want to keep flapping that trap of yours."
"Okay...."
"By the way, you said you got along well at first? What went wrong in the middle to end up like that?"
"Didn't oppa say he wasn't interested?"
"Listening to it makes me curious."
"That is..."
After hearing the ugly bitch's answer, Minseo and I made the exact same expression.
An absurd expression as if asking what kind of retards all these people were.
"So you guys picked a leader through voting, but because you didn't like the result, you did that??"
"Hey you crazy bitch. If you were gonna do that, why the hell did you even hold a vote?"
"......"
The concept of a vote is like that.
Since it's hard to gather everyone's hearts into one, it's about reflecting what receives support from more people as a joint thought or opinion.
As a result, there will naturally be people who are unsatisfied, but bearing that and following along is what voting is about.
If you were going to disobey it, you shouldn't have held a vote in the first place.
"Then why didn't you want a man named Jeong Woobin to be the leader? From what I see, he seemed like a good person who knows how to think of his companions..."
"Are you saying that for me to hear?"
"Why? Are you guilty?"
"No, not at all."
"Hmph.."
"That is..."
"Jung Seoyoung!!"
"Oh, eonni!!"
Just as an answer was about to be heard, someone appeared leading a group of people.
"Is that Kwon Juha?"
"Yes.."
"Oho~"
"......I don't like her...."
As if the saying that women hate women who are better off than them is true, unlike my face which brightened up, Minseo's face slightly distorted.
Well, rather than distorted, it's more like her lips are stuck out in a pouty, sulky expression.
Anyway, Kwon Juha is quite an attractive woman, enough to make Minseo, who is confident in being pretty even among ordinary people, make that kind of expression at a glance.
Her face is pretty, and especially those long limbs.
Is she a model? She looks like she's at least 170 [cm]?
Anyway, she's quite a fierce bitch.
Chuk!!
"You're the one who made Seoyoung like that?! Let Seoyoung go right now!!"
Shouting while aiming a long spear—like her own body, with a sharp point at the end, not unlike some Chinese movie—at me is Kwon Juha.
To her side and back, there are about six women and three geeky-looking men.
Totaling ten people.
However, whether because of those geeks or because of the high proportion of women,
Anyway, it's definitely lacking in the weight/presence compared to Jeong Woobin's group of four.
Still, the fact that they're roaming around in a crowd like this means they can pack a punch.
"O-eonni! No!! You mustn't fight!!"
"Don't worry. Eonni will save you."
"You really can't, eonni! This person is..!"
"Wait a second!!!"
The space goes quiet along with my shout cutting off the two people's conversation.
Slowly turning my body, I pulled the ugly bitch's arm and spun her to face me.
"What did you just say?"
"I, what did I..."
"She's your eonni?"
"...Yes.."
"How old is she?"
"Eonni is twenty-five years old..?"
"Then how old are you?"
"Twenty-three years old.."
Deopseok!!
Kyaak!!
"Seoyoung-ah!!"
Before I knew it, I had grabbed the collar of the ugly bitch named Jung Seoyoung.
Because this didn't make sense.
"How the fuck are you twenty-three?! Aren't you thirty-three?!!"
"......I'm twenty-three!!"
"Fucking hell... No way...."
This is a fact as shocking as the appearance of zombies.
This bitch is twenty-three....
What on earth do you have to eat to turn out like this?!
Of course, how old this bitch is isn't particularly important right now, but it's such a shocking fact that it feels like I got hit in the head.
Ah... come to think of it, her skin on her neck and the back of her hands is still firm and supple....
She must have studied really hard too, huh....
"Won't you let go of that hand right now?!!"
"No way..."
"Crazy bitch."
Shwiik!!
The tip of the long spear thrusting from a distance flew rapidly toward me like a proper pike, but dodging into the space she occupied by pushing Jung Seoyoung away, I swung my left arm wide and tightly clamped the spear thrusting through the empty air into my armpit.
Kkwaaaak!!!
With my right fist rolled tightly with all my might, I smashed down hard onto the spear shaft.
Peok!!!
"......"
"......"
Kwon Juha, who made eye contact with me as I lifted my head slightly, blinked her eyes blankly, and I slightly turned my head to avoid her gaze.
And Minseo's voice is heard.
"Oppa.. are you okay..?"
"I'm not okay! Fucking hell, hurts like crazy!!!"
In movies, they break so easily, but it doesn't break even with my strength level at 7?
Why is this thing so hard?!
Releasing my throbbing fist and loosening my clamped armpit to let go of the spear sliding out like a slip, I picked up the mace I had discarded on the floor while grabbing her collar.
And Kwon Juha thrusts her spear at me again.
No mistakes a second time!!
Seuk-
Shwiik!!!
Twisting my body by pulling my left shoulder back, I dodged the spear tip thrusting toward my heart, reached out my left hand to grab the spear shaft in front of my body, and brought down the mace held in my right hand.
Kwajik!!!
Fucking hell, this is why if you're an intellectual, you gotta use tools.
Along with the broken spear shaft, a spear with a sharp point was held in my left hand, and I ran toward Kwon Juha along with the retracting spear shaft—
Deopseok!
Shwiik!!!
"......"
"Details!" -> "You almost killed her."
Teolseok!!
Jung Seoyoung, who had grabbed my hemline to stop me, collapsed onto the floor, her legs giving out from the spear tip dangling right before her eyes.
Anyway, I hadn't felt it when coming while dealing with zombies, but through the movement just now, I realized.
Just that my stats rose by one tier as before, but upon reaching level 10 agility, my reflexes and control over my body have improved.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stop the spear right in front of my eyes.
Well, that doesn't mean I can control my body perfectly or that my reflexes have become absurdly good.
Is it more like things that used to improve at a constant rate grew a step further?
This can't be expressed in numbers, so it's really ambiguous to explain.
Anyway, now I'm curious about that again.
What changes there will be when strength and stamina reach level 10, and how level 10 luck will work.
"Oppa! Behind you!!"
"Don't make a fuss."
"Haaat!!"
"That battle cry sounds so girlish."
Tadat-
Paak!!
Stepping with a light side-step, I dodged the attack of Kwon Juha who had run up before I knew it and smashed down with the broken spear shaft, swinging my right foot instead of the mace in my right hand.
Because I can't beat a tasty-looking woman like this to death.
Peoeok!!
Kyaaaak!!
Such a fuss.
Along with Kwon Juha falling sideways while screaming even though I deliberately kicked her forearm so she wouldn't get hurt, scream-like sounds burst from the mouths of the three geeks who had been glaring at me as if to kill me.
"No!!"
"Uwaaa!!!"
"Die!!!"
"Ha... why do they look so pathetic?"
For a person's appearance to take up such an important part.
Clearly, those guys are charging in quite fast too, but they don't feel threatening at all.
And....
"You guys are dead."
These unthreatening geeks don't need to be kept alive anyway.
First, starting from that fatty running at the very front.
"How dare you hit Juha?!!!"
Huuuung!!!
Wow, his strength alone seems higher than mine?
Stepping my body back slightly to avoid the hammer brought down to crush my crown like some sort of paladin, I swung my mace toward the head of the geek, who was left defenseless after a heavy attack.
Wait, what's with that bastard?
He doesn't even blink an eye.
No, or can he not even react at all?
Kung!!!
Kung??
The swung mace definitely struck the side of his head accurately, but a sound like hitting a concrete wall echoes.
Though his head snapped sideways and he flew past the fallen Kwon Juha.
"No.. oppa!!!"
"Why is she so heartbroken? Don't tell me he's her boyfriend?!"
"N-no.. Juha eonni's real older brother..."
"Ah...."
"What are you doing?! Look ahead! Ahead!!!"
I told you not to make a fuss.
Unlike Minseo, who hurriedly shouts at me as I look left and right and feign ignorance, I calmly turned my head back to the front and stepped forward one pace, dodging the two guys who came rushing from both sides thrusting their knives.
Of course, very quickly.
Puk!
Puk!
"Argh!!"
"Uwaah!!"
"Cut the bullshit."
The two geeks whose flanks and shoulders were stabbed nicely by each other's knives fell to the floor simultaneously and screamed, and the moment I readjusted my weapon to finish them off, the six women who had just been watching came rushing in a swarm.
Well, there's no need to fight those bitches anymore.
"Everyone stop!!! Don't resist! You mustn't fight!!"
"Still, as somewhat of a leader, you're a bit smart. Some other guy was even smarter and didn't pick a fight at all."
If it had been Lee Jeonghu, he would have surrendered the moment I easily dodged his first attack.
Compared to that guy, this bitch is the type who has to taste shit or soybean paste to know what it is.
Now then, the fight is over and...
Jeobeok- jeobeok- jeobeok-
Seuk-
Moving my steps to the side, I squatted down in front of Kwon Juha, who was sitting slumped on the ground, and grabbed her cheek with my left hand.
"Looks tasty."
"......"
