Chapter 1271

<Chapter 1271> 1271. Pheromone Monster

[Ending the game.]

I returned to reality and stared blankly into the void before shaking my head. The memories of the Dark Moon world were rushing back like a tidal wave.

It wasn’t that I had a headache or felt confused—it was just that I needed to organize my thoughts a little.

[Sung Yoojin


Level: 82


Strength: 105 Health: 100 Agility: 100 Intelligence: 100 Spirit: 110 Mana: 103]

[Available Points: 28,105]

I checked the points.

They had steadily accumulated.

‘They used to be more than this.’

I spent about 4,000 points to ease one of the penalties—the memory part. It allows me to faintly recall some real-world memories.

“Having real-world memories will help me run my business smoothly.”

Still, there was no denying the anxiety. My Neo London self had no business or foundation at all.

In the [Dark Moon] world, I also felt suffocated and not as cool as I’d hoped. Especially when I parted ways with my batchmates, including No. 31, I even felt a bit depressed.

Every time the game ended, it felt like I had to swallow hundreds of sweet potatoes one after another.

To relieve the stress, I sent Yuria into the Dark Moon world using the [Game World Companion Entry Ticket]. She would definitely take care of things in the Dark Moon world and assist me with the business side too.

‘But who would’ve thought Yuria would jump on me? I told her she could tempt me but not attack first… I’ll have to scold her when I get back to the White Circle world!’

Thinking about Yuria in the Dark Moon world made my junk start twitching. I already planned how I would discipline her in my mind.

‘Anyway, this Game World Companion Entry Ticket is quite helpful… Should I buy another one?’

[Game World Companion Entry Ticket


Designate one person to enter the game world together.


The companion will enter and exit the game simultaneously with you.


The companion’s stats may be adjusted depending on the game world.

Price: 7,000 points

*Note:


The target must consent.


If the companion dies in the game world, they will return to the original world. The ticket can be reused.


The companion stays until the game world’s ending is reached.]

It only costs 7,000 points.

For me, it was pretty cheap. With multiple tickets, I could enjoy the game worlds with other women.

‘If I bring Yuria, Elena, Mi-ling, and Sung Ha-ri, we might easily dominate a single game world, right?’

I dismissed those silly thoughts.

There was no need to buy more tickets immediately.

I already knew where to spend my points. There was a reason I collected them in the first place.

[Would you like to use 25,000 points to evolve the Shadow Heaven Style into the Brain Heaven Style?]

‘I will use it.’

Zzzt…

Blue currents sparked from my body.

I clenched my mouth shut as knowledge of the Brain Heaven Style directly blossomed in my mind. Moreover, brain energy surged through my meridians, racing along paths I had never considered before.

It was confusing. This Brain Heaven Style seemed slightly different from what I knew.

‘This couldn’t possibly be…!’

With Wei Yu’s help, the Brain Heaven Style wasn’t yet a perfected martial art. It was merely a combination of the Heaven-Severing Thunder Seal and the Shadow Heaven Style…


Hey there, listen up! I merely laid the foundation for the Rai-Ten Style (雷天流). It’s a martial art with more to build on than what we’ve achieved so far.

“Is the Rai-Ten Style in this ‘Leisure App’ actually complete?!”

Just as excitement bubbled up, an alert window popped up.

[Shadow Heaven Style (影天流) has evolved into Rai-Ten Style (雷天流)!]

[Rai-Ten Style (雷天流) Lv.3

You can now use Rai-Ten Style.]

[Do you wish to spend 50,000 points to upgrade Rai-Ten Style (雷天流) Lv.3?]

“…Of course. There’s no way it’d be that easy.”

I thought I’d reached the peak, but turns out I was only at the halfway point.

Still, I took comfort in the fact that I wasn’t starting from Level 1.

I sat cross-legged in the center of the living room and focused my mind. As soon as I tried to move my energy, lightning qi crackled naturally in response.

A smile tugged at the corners of my lips because the lightning qi reacted as if it had truly become a part of me.

“What was it… ‘Sword-and-Spirit Unity’? Is this what they mean by that feeling?”

Anyway, it wasn’t bad.

[Yoojin Sung

Level: 82

Strength: 105 Stamina: 100 Agility: 100 Intelligence: 100 Spirit: 110 Mana: 103]

[Available Points: 3,105]

With 3,105 points left—where should I use them?

“Obviously, the gacha machine. Who knows, I might even get a Leisure World companion ticket? Let’s just do it 3,000 times.”

If I hit the jackpot with even one companion ticket out of 3,000 tries, it’d be a huge win!

Confidently, I pressed the random gacha button and kept going until sunset. Around me lay mountains of useless junk.

“…What the hell.”

The gacha didn’t fail entirely.

Out of 3,000 tries, I snagged two decent items. Not only did I break even, I made a profit. But what shocked me wasn’t that—it was this:

“I pulled 3,000 times intentionally and only got two things?!?”

Shaking my head, I stood up. The pile of junk around me would go into the [Storage Realm] for now. Sure, they were “junk,” but these were items from the Leisure App, each with surprisingly high quality when examined closely.

One thing I really liked? [Heavenly Wet Tissues]. For just 1 point, these tissues make cleaning yourself feel amazing. I always keep a stash in the bathroom.

“Let’s check out the two big wins I got this time.”

First, I picked up an elegant glass bottle filled with pink liquid.

[Pheromone Spray Perfume

A perfume that attracts the opposite sex through pheromones.

Anyone who smells it will feel arousal, though intensity varies by person.

Effect lasts 24 hours per use. Total uses: 5. Remaining uses: 5.

Cost: 2,000 points

*Caution: Does not work on the same gender.]

“This is perfect.”

Just reading the description made my heart race. Without hesitation, I sprayed the Pheromone Perfume all over myself.

Chik-chik!

[Used Pheromone Spray Perfume once.]

[Remaining uses: 4.]

Hmph! Sniff sniff!

I sniffed my body repeatedly, but I couldn’t detect any scent despite the perfume being clearly applied.

“Pheromones, huh? Didn’t someone say they can’t be smelled or something…?”

I resisted the urge to rush outside and test it immediately.

Next, I checked the other item—a pill with a moldy blue hue.

[Hate Potion

After taking this potion, you’ll be hated for ten days.

Cost: 15,000 points

*Caution: Once consumed, effects cannot be reversed.]

I stared at the Hate Potion with a puzzled expression. I had no idea how effective it was or where to use it.

“Do I even need to be hated?”

I thought harder about it.

Slip it secretly to some married woman’s husband. He’ll start hating her, and I’ll swoop in during the chaos.

“Perfect plan….”

With the Hate Potion stored in my inventory, I hurried outside. First, I wanted to confirm the effects of the Pheromone Spray.

Stepping onto the street, I walked confidently.


<Body> I immediately realized it. It was because women who saw me would glance my way every now and then. Some even stared at me quite openly. Their gazes were fiery. There were also women who initiated conversations with me.

“Excuse me, do you happen to be free?”

I shook my head firmly as I looked at the woman. She was ugly.

“I’m sorry, but I have plans with a friend…”

“Could I get your number? I’d like to talk to you. And if you’re free… let’s have a drink together.”

“I’m not that kind of easy guy.”

I passed her by with my walls up tight.

Other women subtly approached me. Some struck up conversations or handed me coffees with their numbers written on them. There were even those who flaunted their cleavage or casually touched my shoulder while making blatant sexual advances.

“Hmph. Is this what it’s like to be a ‘God of Looks’?… It’s kinda tiring.”

The problem is, most of the women who don’t catch my eye are either ugly or average-looking.

“I only have one body and limited time. I can’t waste it dealing with ugly girls and ordinary women.”

What I’m after is the big fish.

I don’t even dream of someone as beautiful as Han Harin. Even if you searched all over South Korea, there wouldn’t be 100 women as stunningly beautiful as Han Harin.

“Even if there are many beauties equal in looks to Han Harin… Harin just cheats when it comes to her figure.”

I wanted to turn around and go back to Han Harin.

‘If I’ve come out, might as well stay longer. Who knows, maybe I’ll hook a big one.’

I walked further down the street. Not only married women but even high school students in uniforms glanced at me with shining eyes. They too are women driven by lust.

“On the other hand, young kids or old grannies show no interest in me.”

“Most people just pass by after seeing me.”

The women who approach me and actively flirt are all those who seem to have strong sexual desires.

“Dang. There’s no woman I like. Have my standards gotten too high?”

I took out my smartphone.

Ha Seung-hee is busy with HB-1, the replicated version of Hevil’s catalyst, so I won’t be able to meet her.

“Jin Se-young is dungeon-raiding… and Harin…”

I contacted Han Harin. I was planning to tell her to warm up some food for when I got home.

But Han Harin had already gone back to her family home.

“Guess there’s nothing I can do. Maybe I’ll call Park So-ho or Oh Joon-hyuk and hit the club.”

Oh Joon-hyuk was busy. Ever since he joined that guild called FiveSad or something, it’s been hard to meet him lately.

“Why has he suddenly become so diligent? With his talent, he barely manages as a C-Rank Hunter anyway. Back in the day, he used to just play around in clubs.”

I successfully summoned Park So-ho. Although Park So-ho was about to go monster hunting as usual, I managed to persuade him with various words. Park So-ho, who owes me things, couldn’t outright reject my requests.

“Should I secretly give Park So-ho the ‘Hate Potion’? Wonder what would happen?”

After thinking for a moment, I shook my head.

The Hate Potion costs 15,000 points. It’s too precious to waste on Park So-ho just out of curiosity.

“Bro!”

After waiting a bit at our meeting place, Park So-ho showed up.

Park So-ho, who recently became a C-Rank Hunter, appeared in casual clothing: jeans and a black-and-white crewneck. The problem was that his clothes looked worn out.

“Where did you get those clothes?”

“This? I bought them from Gajima Market. The jeans were 5,000 won and the crewneck was 7,000 won. Super cheap!”

“The jeans have holes at the bottom, and the crewneck’s color is faded.”

“Eh. You can’t really tell unless you look closely.”

“…Alright. But hey, you’re in good shape, so you’ll still be popular at the club.”

“Bro, I’m not interested in women. I just came because you called me.”

I almost burst out laughing. I barely managed to suppress the impending smirk.

Park So-ho and I ate beef at a nearby Korean barbecue place. Park So-ho kept swallowing saliva repeatedly as he watched the marbled beef being grilled.

“Eat as much as you want. It’s on me.”

“Thank you, Bro! It’s been ages since I’ve eaten beef.”

“You work hard, so it’s natural for me to take care of you.”

“Bro…”

Touched, Park So-ho looked at me with misty eyes. It made me feel a little awkward. I almost flipped the grill.
