chapter 3
First achievement achieved
It had been a long time since the shooting range, which had been noisy with gunshots coming from all directions, had become quiet.
Silence flows.
The guests, who had enjoyed shooting in their respective saloons, gathered in front of a large monitor and watched with bated breath only the confrontation in front of them.
[Then, the last 10 shots…]
Even the employee, who seemed to be dying of sleep until just now, brought the microphone to his mouth with a nervous expression.
[Shoot.]
At that moment, a sharp gunshot rips through the silence and crosses the shooting range.
Silence that passes with an echo.
The mouth of the employee who checked the target through the monitor slowly opened.
[Solo No. 2, Choi Si-yoon.]
People’s attention is focused.
[10 points. A total of 100 points.]
“Another 10 points?!”
“Wow, that’s really nonsense.”
“Shh! Shh! It’s not over yet! Be quiet!”
Before long, people’s eyes turned to the 3rd passage right next to it.
There, another person was aiming at the target with a rifle on his shoulder.
The sound of someone swallowing saliva echoed quietly.
The trigger is then pulled.
Taaang-!
The metal bullet that swept through the shaft pierced the target in an instant.
“…”
“Oh, how was it? 10 points?”
By the time everyone was waiting with their hands sweaty, the languid voice of the staff rang through the speaker.
[Solo 3, Kang Ji-yeon, 9 points. A total of 99 points.]
[Choi Si-yoon’s victory by 1 point.]
At the moment of the announcement, sighs and cheers crossed from all over the waiting room watching the screen.
“look! I told you that guy would win!”
“President Kang! President Kang, what if you lose too!”
“Oh, give it up quickly. hurry. 50,000 won.”
“Civil… Can’t you cut it down to 30,000 won?”
“Don’t be afraid to say Dizilla.”
Siyoon took off his headset and let out a small sigh.
A 300m target was delivered to him at the end of the run.
A bullet hole almost in the middle.
Kang Ji-yeon, a muscular woman with short-cropped hair who stole it from the No. 3 road, shook her head as if it were absurd.
“I really can’t stand it. Where the hell did this monster come from?”
She groaned as she tidied up her rifle.
She had been running the shooting range as a hobby for more than five years and had never lost in shooting.
But today, she was completely defeated by a blue kid who didn’t know where she came from.
“Where can I become a former soldier?”
“Are you a soldier? I look that old.”
Kang Ji-yeon laughed and shook her head.
She put a cigarette in her mouth.
‘Soldier, even when I think about it, he’s talking nonsense.’
The Republic of Korea is a world where government agencies exist only in shell and are actually dominated by giant corporations.
Therefore, the concept of an army that was once used by the state has long since disappeared into history.
It is not the military that takes the place, but the company’s private security company.
It was an era when even the security guards did not use guns anymore as common magic developed.
“I was born with a rare talent. I was born in the wrong era.”
She murmured as she muttered as she watched the people who were still mixed with joy and sorrow.
“In this day and age, things like guns are useless.”
Siyoon leaned against the wall installed in the saloon and looked at her as if she was smoking a cigarette.
Very developed muscles and size that is hard to believe even for a woman.
Wearing a white t-shirt, the forearms exposed are full of scars.
There’s even some really good marksmanship.
Maybe she was once a soldier.
“Yeah, that’s right. There’s no such thing as a bullet that can’t be blocked with just two rudimentary defense magics.”
“hehehe. I know yeah.”
Really that was the problem.
When he came to the shooting range, Si-yoon realized that he had an unmatched talent for shooting.
However, there was a reason why the ‘Gun Master’ rating was only ‘rare’.
It was because it was of no use to anyone with just this.
‘There must be a breakthrough.’
If not, what use is the expansion pack?
“It’s a pity. Such a waste.”
Kang Ji-yeon inhaled the smoke deep into her lungs, then let it out like a sigh.
It was a long time ago that guns were completely antiqued.
Even bullies outside the metropolitan area threw fireballs from their hands, but did not use guns. At least, it is only a handful of wealthy people who touch guns as a hobby or collection.
The people who came to this small shooting range located in the corner of this entertainment district were either Mildeok, who was few left, or just ghosts who couldn’t forget the past.
‘Like me…’
she laughed bitterly
‘No, it’s rather fortunate.’
Kang Ji-yeon wondered if she was often suffering from PTSD because of her longing for Chong-yeon.
A gun is, after all, just one type of weapon.
It was only replaced by magic according to the flow of the times, and there would be no reason to miss the gun anywhere.
But Siyoon was different.
In a world where the logic of power takes precedence over the Republic of Korea he knew, a gun is his only hope as he cannot use magic as an alternative.
Siyoon muttered while stroking the rifle.
“…Is there any way to use this somehow?”
President Kang shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Well, it’s not like there weren’t any attempts.”
“How?”
“Why, like a magic sword or a magic spear, if you engrave a magic spell on a gun, you might be able to use it somehow… anyone can think about that much.”
But soon, a sneer crept across her lips.
“But can it be like I thought? Unlike cold weapons, which have a very simple structure, guns only have a few large and small parts.”
She kicked the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
“It was greedy to engrave a complex spell on a complicated object and hope it worked properly.”
But when Siyoon heard that, it felt like the back of his head was tingling.
‘Why did I forget this?’
A skill he had when he unpacked the data of NPC ‘Choi Si-yoon’ before coming here.
‘Low engraving!’
Imprinting literally means the technology of making magical tools by imprinting magic formulas on objects.
‘That was it!’
The only way for a gunman who can’t use magic or anything to survive in this world.
Just because he couldn’t use magic didn’t mean he didn’t have mana.
Since the magic formula had already been completed, it was possible to use magic tools that only needed to be recharged with magic power.
In this situation, it was not a coincidence that Choi Si-yoon was learning the art of engraving.
‘Choi Si-yoon was a hero who made a gun into a magic tool and used it…!’
“president. You are a genius…”
“What?”
She giggled as if she wanted to hear all the weird stuff.
“I am not a genius. You are the boy.”
Heejae patted Shiyoon on the shoulder and said.
“It was fun for the first time in a while. Starting today, you’re the best shooter in this district. come back often You will be treated as a special VIP.”
It doesn’t mean much, though. After adding that, she slowly left Saro.
Surprisingly, in a corner of Siyoon’s field of vision, a sentence he hadn’t seen came to mind.
[‘I’m the shooting champion in this area!’ The achievement has been achieved.]
[Achievement rate 1/121]
He was startled.
‘Do you have any achievements?’
Soon, a big smile appeared on his face.
But that wasn’t the end.
[achievement reward]
[attribute point +1]
[You can use attribute points to open a store to strengthen existing attributes or obtain new attributes.]
[1/2 points required to open the Perk Shop]
“…!”
It was an unexpected reward.
.

“… refused and left the house?”
Hearing the butler’s words, Choi Woo-hyuk narrowed his eyes.
“Yes. I appreciate the invitation, but I have to go out because I have work…”
“what?”
Choi Il-soo, the son of Choi Woo-hyeok, distorted his face and kicked out of his chair.
“This cheeky bastard who lives on top of himself. father. Shall I go out and get him right now?”
“done.”
“But···!”
“I must have gone for a drink or something. Nothing to worry about.”
Choi Woo-hyuk, who had wiped his mouth with a napkin, flicked his finger, and the butler came and poured wine into a glass.
“No matter what our husband is doing, all we have to do is post it on the top. You have nothing to meddle with.”
“If that is what your father says.”
He reluctantly sat back down, but the displeasure still lingered on his face.
“Rather than that, I heard that there are special guests coming this evening?”
“Ah, yes. These are the guys from the old club. It’s been a while since I graduated from school, but we decided to get together after a long time. Among them are Kim Seo-ah and Lee A-rin.”
Choi Woo-hyuk nodded in satisfaction.
Kim Seo-ah and Lee Ar-in were both famous for their outstanding beauty, but more important than that was their origins.
Kim Seo-ah is the daughter known to be terribly cherished by the head of Gangdong-gu, and Lee A-rin’s father was the head of the Strategic Planning Office, the staff organization of the Sungma Group chairman.
There is nothing wrong with his own son becoming friends with them.
“yes. I’ll be arriving late today, so treat yourself well on your behalf. Seoah Kim and Arin Lee. It wouldn’t be strange if both of them became members of the royal family sometime.”
In particular, in the case of Kim Seo-ah, there were already rumors that the third son of the chairman was eyeing it.
‘The engagement is a fait accompli.’
He thought of Choi Si-yoon, the man who should have been blowing bottles in the entertainment district by now.
His heart must be broken by now, having to lose his love to his brother who is like his enemy.
‘To be powerless in this world is a sin.’
Even though he inherited the blood of Mr. Choi from Hanyang, it was only that much. Executive Director Choi Woo-hyuk sipped his wine glass with a small smile.
Choi Si-yoon was a disgrace to the Choi family.
“Yes. Just in case you didn’t know, I invited a lot of kids who were close to them, so we’re both going to have a good time.”
Woohyuk couldn’t help but click his tongue at that unsatisfactory answer.
“I still can’t get my head around that much. What are you doing?”
“Yes?”
“Of course it’s important that they’re having a good time in this house. But more than that, it’s also important that you socialize with them. That’s what I mean by paying attention.”
In the midst of that, they called a lot of close friends, so of course, wouldn’t the women be distracted by resolving the affair.
Then my son, who is a man, will not be able to properly engage in conversation.
‘Choi Si-yoon is as natural as his face.’
Probably because of my mother’s blood.
If she was so beautiful, would she have caught the president’s eyes as a lady-in-waiting?
Perhaps, if his son was half as good as Choi Si-yoon’s, the women would have put him in his place, even if they didn’t like it.
However, Choi Il-soo was not a young person even from his father’s point of view.
‘That doesn’t mean he’s not very resourceful.’
Looking at his son, Woohyuk let out a small sigh.
Choi Il-soo answered without notice.
“Ah, I’m already close with them. father.”
“You will do that too.”
pathetic guy He shook his head and cut up the remaining meat.
