Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later - Chapter 80 - Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later Oku

— We need someone who can fight melee.

— Close combat? When hunting El Quero? — Young-ju looked at him blankly.

Any Player knew full well that close combat was absolutely useless against El Quero.

A tank to fight from a distance and distract the monster would be most useful.

— I have an idea. But this requires an experienced Player who is able to conduct an active attack.

‘Hem… A Player capable of attacking El Quero…’ Young-ju pondered.

Every member of her guild was an exceptional Player. And of them all, there were a few people she could think of who fought well in close combat.

But their goal was…

El Quero.

It had never occurred to her that there would even be a single Player willing to go hunting at the Level S Gate to catch the boss.

— How about Commander Ku Hyun Mo? — Hwa Yeon suggested.

— Oh, the Commander of Hwaran’s 2nd Division?

Ku Hyun Mo.

A blond man with sunglasses. Although he looked like a thief and behaved in a simple-minded manner, she had no doubt about his skills.

(Editor’s Note: Officially changing my previously mistaken term ‘robber’ to thief as of this chapter.

And hey if you ain’t reading on a site starting with C and ending with i, this was stolen. Find us for quickest and original updates.)

‘Oho~’ Kang Yu, pleased with Hwa Yeon’s good choice, nodded his head.

He remembered how Ku Hyun Mo fought with Orias, and it was clear that the man was skilled.

He was excellent at handling two small daggers thanks to his well-trained dexterity.

Despite the fact that Kang Yu had expected someone different, he could not help but take into account the superior skills and strength of the 2nd Division Commander.

— Since we have friendly relations with him to some extent, I think he will easily agree, — Hwa Yeon murmured.

— If he does agree, he will help us a lot.

— Mm. Wait a bit.

She took out her phone and dialed the number.

— Hwa Yeon? Did something happen?

From the phone was Hyun Mo’s slightly surprised voice. As if he hadn’t expected a call from her at all.

— I want to ask you something.

— Hahaha! If you’re the one asking, I’m ready to do anything! I’m ready to listen to you for the rest of my life!

(Editor’s Note: bro i’m embarrassed for u)

— This isn’t what you think it is…

Kang Yu could hear the guy’s voice trembling slightly, like he was agitated. Realizing what was going on, Kang Yu chuckled.

— Commander! You did it!

— Is the Commander starting to meet someone for the first time?!

— Shut up, you idiots!

From the line came not only his voice, but also the voices of his teammates.

It was hard to believe that this was a conversation between two Commanders of a large government unit.

Ku Hyun Mo coughed and tried to proceed businesslike.

— S… so, what’s this pro-propos- request? If you want to have lunch together, I know a place that will take your breath away…!

— No, I’m not asking to have lunch together.

— Ah… Yes, of course… — the guy replied languidly.

Hwa Yeon explained the situation and said that she wanted to ask for his help in capturing El Quero.

— El Quero…

— If this is too difficult for you, I will find someone else…

— No, it’s fine! If this is your request, I will help you, no matter what! Hahaha! And I myself have always wanted to try catching El Quero, too!

— Ah, good.

— I’m on my way!

— No, there is no need…

— Hahah! If I come too early, will it be possible to have a bite with you and walk around for some sightseeing in Seoul?

— I need to write a report on the destroyed training room, so that will be quite difficult.

— Ah… Yes, that’s understandable. Well… since you are busy…

— I’d be grateful if you call when you arrive at headquarters. The guys from 3rd Division will meet you.

— Yes… I’ll call…

Hwa Yeon hung up.

— Hmm… Somehow, it sounded like his energy was drained near the end of the call. I wonder why? — Hwa Yeon, not understanding his reaction, tilted her head to the side.

Kang Yu and Young-ju stared at the girl in silence.

Their gaze seemed to say, ‘Does she really not understand?’

— Why are you looking at me like that?

— Well…

— Hmm. I never expected that Commander Ku would be so passionate about catching El Quero. It’s a good thing we’re not forcing him into it. — Hwa Yeon nodded twice, seeming satisfied.

— What are you talking about…?

— Yes, she really doesn’t understand…

Hwa Yeon looked surprised, raising an inquiring gaze at Kang Yu and Young-ju.

— What’s going on? Is there a problem?

The two looked at each other again, and the guy continued:

— Forget it.

— Yes, otherwise it will become more complicated, — Young-ju agreed.

They understood each other’s thoughts perfectly.

Hwa Yeon frowned.

— What are you talking about now?

— It’s nothing.

— I’m more concerned about something else: when are we going hunting? — Young-ju skillfully changed the subject.

— It’s best to do it as soon as possible, — Kang Yu answered.

— I’ll need to talk to my guild members and sort things out… That should take about three days.

— And I need to draw up a report and speak with the authorities. I think it will also take me three days. I’ll try to come up with some other reason why the walls in the hall are so broken, so as to not drag you into this.

— Then let’s agree to meet in three days. I’ll gather some information and make a more detailed action plan. — Kang Yu nodded to their responses.

Three days of grace.

During this time, it was necessary to draw up a plan of action and take care of their affairs.

‘First of all, I need to reach Level 59.’

Right now, he was still at Level 54, and has not yet reached the crisis known as ‘Effort’s End.’

And in order to confirm that capturing El Quero will really help him to overcome the problem, he first had to acquire Level 59.

— Then let’s meet in three days, at two o’clock at the Gate’s entrance, — Hwa Yeon summed it up, and the others agreed with her.

[You have successfully destroyed a normal Rank S Giant Orc]

[Level up]

[You have reached Level 59. You have reached your limit. You will continue to accumulate additional experience points. Once you have overcome your limit, you will receive all the points at once.]

— Hmm… So in the end, I ran into the same problem as everyone else.

Kang Yu, reviewing the notifications, clicked his tongue.

He was told that there were many gifted Players who could easily overcome the problem.

That’s why he began to think that the crisis of Level 59 would not affect him at all.

But the world doesn’t always work by your rules.

He closed the notifications window and turned towards the exit.

— Kang Yu, it’s time.

— Just in time. Let’s go.

— Are we going to catch that monster you talked about today?

— Yes.

— Kang Yu, I will try my best to be helpful today.

Echidna, who had helped him level up for the past three days, clenched her fists firmly.
