Chapter 70 - Changed People in the Changed World
It wasn’t just a matter of pride. Sungwoo was bothered not only by the crossbow on the commander’s desk, but also he had to be concerned about the possibility that the commander hid weapons under the desk.
The commander hesitated for a moment. Sungwoo was not sure whether he had bad intentions or he needed some time to control his pride, but he hesitated for a moment before standing up. Then, he slowly walked toward Sungwoo and reached out his hand.
-Opponent’s Gold: 45,688
According to Sgt. Kim, when the soldiers completed the ‘group quest’ assigned to them on a daily basis, the compensation was paid only to the regiment commander.
In addition, the middle-level officers collected the gold from the monster crackdown team obtained by beating the monsters, but a significant amount of that was donated to the regiment commander.
‘This commander has taken a huge amount of gold. How come it’s so small?’
Obviously, the amount of gold that the commander possessed now was surprisingly small.
Then, is it true that Sungwoo was gaining an overwhelmingly large amount of gold?
Sungwoo acted faster. He lifted the repeating crossbow and fired in succession.
Pik! Pik! Pik! Pik! Pik!
“Urgh! Urgh! Urgh!”
“Kuuuuuuh”
The three collapsed immediately.
-You have earned 10,000 gold by killing a player.
-You have earned 12,000 gold by killing a player.
Two of them were killed on the spot. They were the commander’s deputy and Lieutenant Colonel Park.
Sungwoo realized again that killing a person brought about a far greater reward than catching a monster.
Sungwoo thought from the beginning that they weren’t worth being saved. However, when they tried to kill him like this, he had no other choice but to sacrifice them for the more worthwhile gold.
“Oops! Damn it!” The commander barely shouted.
He was still alive. He groaned and pulled something out of his uniform pocket.
It was a round object, but at first glance it looked like a grenade. Of course, it was a little different from the grenade.
“Don’t come close! This is a bomb!”
“Bomb?”
“Yes, it’s a bomb. Do you think I have not prepared something like this for your attack? “Huh? The door-to-door sellers brought me lots of useful stuff. This is called ‘Abyssal Concentrate Capsule!’ I tested it on the Orcs. If it explodes here in this room, you and I will die immediately.”
“Really? Can you explode it?”
“What did you say?”
“I’m curious about what kind of fragrance it will emit this time?”
Sungwoo slowly approached him. Abyssal Concentrate Capsule? Sungwoo seemed to be quite attracted to that word. He recalled the strong thrill that the Orc chief had once unleashed.
The commander crawled back and shuddered when he saw Sungwoo approaching him without any fear.
“Oh, don’t come! You are really going to be killed.”
“I’m alright. Just explode it, will you?”
“Damn it, you crazy guy!”
The commander closed his eyes tightly and tried to throw the object called ‘Abyssal Concentrate Capsule.’
Cling!
At that moment, the window was broken, and the Weartiger skeleton pushed his head inside. Then, he bit the commander’s arm holding the capsule.
His arm holding the capsule was torn off entirely.
“Ahhhhhh! My arm! Argh!”
“As expected, tigers are riding a tree very well.”
The Weretiger skeleton spat out the commander’s severed arm, picked out the capsule, and brought it to Sungwoo.

-Description: A death bomb made by concentrating the corpses of 50 Goblins and 30 Orcs. If you encounter a disgusting enemy, you can destroy him at once. (Manufacturer’s direct description)
‘The manufacturer’s item? If that’s the case, somebody has definitely made this. Which group is it? Do these guys also receive exclusive quests to sell goods?’
It was highly likely that those players with an incomprehensible behavior were given a weird exclusive quest, just like the Vampire Lord.
“Uhhhhh…”
“If you won’t use it, let me have the capsule. By the way, you are very close to the door-to-door sellers, right?” Sungwoo sarcastically asked.
“Cough!”
“No, you should not die yet.”
The Werewolf skeleton grabbed the commander’s by the neck and lifted him.
Hanging up in the air, he was breathing roughly. Blood ran down from his body.
Sungwoo searched all over his body while he was hanging. He collected a cell phone, a car key, and a suspicious key.
“A key?”
What is the use for this key in this era? Sungwoo looked around and found a steel cabinet.
He opened the cabinet door.
“Man, this guy amassed all the gold here.”
He found an unexpected treasure trove.
The cabinet contained several items that the commander must have purchased from the “door-to-door vendors.” And he noticed two familiar items among them. They were the so-called ‘Transformation Ampoule.’
[Item information]
-Name: Transformation Ampoule (Wolf)
-Class: Unknown
-Category: Player Manufactured Item
-Effect: Temporarily becomes a ‘Werewolf’.
-Description: An extract made by deeply boiling his own friend who became a beast. If you inject it into your muscle, you become a Werewolf, but don’t worry. You will recover in 20 minutes. (Manufacturer’s description.)
The other one was ‘Transformation Ampoule (Bear )’.
Sungwoo was not sure if it was true or just a joke to make the ampoule by boiling the beast man, but it was certain that the raw material of this ampoule was a beast man.
‘What kind of job can create something like this? And for what purpose are they making this?’
