Junhyuk slowly opened his eyes, sighed and lifted his hand to see a black gauntlet. Unexpectedly, he was still wearing Bebe’s Black Armor, so he sent it away and got up.

He still had the Dark Night Cloak on his back, and the Beast King White Tiger’s Canine was on his ear.

"I should’ve engraved these."

Junhyuk placed the things he had brought back next to the bed and inspected the ones that weren’t engraved: the Dark Night Cloak, the Beast King White Tiger’s Canine, and the Golden Knight Elder’s ring. His expression turned serious.

"I should put the cloak in my backpack, and I can’t wear the canine."

He felt like someone was watching his house, so he couldn’t leave things there. Some of the things were worth over thirty thousand gold, and he couldn’t afford to lose them.

At once, he put them in his backpack and inspected his ring. The Golden Knight Elder’s Ring was rather big. It was big enough to cover one section of his finger and it was easy to notice.

"I should wear it around my neck."

Junhyuk took off the pendant. He should have sold it, but he was too happy to get Sherlock’s Leather Arm Warmer and forgot. Someone had helped him, so he thought about helping others later if there was an opportunity for it.

Junhyuk smacked his lips and put the pendant inside his backpack. He placed the Golden Knight Elder’s Ring around his neck, and the Dark Night Cloak and the White Tiger’s Canine also went inside his backpack.

Junhyuk was seriously worried.

"I can’t engrave my entire body. Maybe I should get a bottomless bag for these..."

At least one hundred thousand gold would be required to afford the bag, but he wanted to get it. He scratched his head.

"I should equip myself for now, and I will get a bottomless bag later."

The main thing was survival. To survive, he needed more items, so the bag would come later.

Junhyuk thought for a moment and remembered that magical items from South Korea had value in the Dimensional Battlefield. So, he should find more of them.

He was pondering about things when the phone rang. Junhyuk looked at the screen, and it showed "comrade." He laughed a little and picked it up.

"Why did you call me? We saw each other a moment ago."

"It’s different from meeting on the battlefield. He-he!"

"It’s fine. Go to sleep."

"I just called you!"

"I know. Did they notice anything?"

"No."

"Go to sleep."

"Fine. You should sleep too."

"Right."

Junhyuk wondered if she had had an ulterior motive for calling him, and he got up and walked to the window, looking outside.

"It’s a problem."

As long as someone was watching him, he couldn’t train, but he was even more worried about Sarang.

"She needs a space to train."

He decided to worry about it later and started practicing. He had gained a lot of understanding during that time and he had experienced live combat with dual blades and was getting better.

Doyeol was touching his chin when the executive secretary reported in.

"We are listening in, but nothing serious happened."

"Right."

Doeyol thought for a moment and asked:

"Did we get the equipment?"

"They are coming in three days."

"When they arrive, use them to check it. If anything suspicious happens, report to me right away."

"I will, sir."

Doyeol was worried. He wanted the runestones, but he couldn’t buy them. If Doyeol offered, he would get suspicious.

Doyeol knew for sure that Junhyuk had been to the Dimensional Battlefield, but only heroes carried runestones.

However, he couldn’t let him be. Others knew of it too, and they had to be following him as well. He couldn’t let the others act first.

Doyeol gestured, and the secretary went out. He was pondering alone when his desk began to shine. Doyeol tapped on the desk, and five screens appeared. He greeted them with his eyes and focused on Elise.

Elise had called for that meeting and she began to explain:

"The red-colored gem could be used on the Regeneration Project."

"Really?"

"Yes. I already gave it to the project team, and they will report in soon."

"That’s good. What about the Mana Stone?"

"It’s being used for the Iron Soldier Project."

Doyeol smiled. They had gotten the Mana Stone from the Dimensional Battlefield, and it was of use. That was a relief.

A white-haired, middle-aged person spoke up:

"How many can you make?"

"About a hundred."

"OK. Make the prototype."

"Yes."

"Do you have anything else to report?"

"No."

"Then, till next time."

The screens turned dark, and Doyeol was about to get up when a screen lit up, and the white-haired, middle-aged mean appeared on it.

"What is the matter?"

"I heard from Clinton."

Doyeol smiled bitterly.

"We are investigating, but we found nothing special."

"Is that so?"

The white-haired, middle-aged man’s eyes flickered, and he looked at Doyeol and laughed.

"I found something interesting on this side. You should take care of it. If anything happens, just let me know."

"Don’t worry. I can do anything in South Korea."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! That’s correct. I expect good news."

The man disappeared from the screen.

"He must have found something big."

He did not mention the runestone during the meeting, so they must’ve already known.

"I should check on it."

Doyeol would send somebody to America.

On Monday morning, Junhyuk heard people whispering. They were all staring at him.

It was like the time when the company ad came out, so he checked his smartphone and the internet, and there was the second ad involving him.

He chuckled. Junhyuk’s soul had grown, and nobody walked over to ask him questions.

He arrived at the company and found no one there, so he sat on his chair. He was checking out the collaboration project when he heard footsteps.

Somin walked up and greeted him.

"I saw the ad."

"Really?"

Junhyuk was embarrassed, and Somin asked him:

"Did you pierce your ear?"

Junhyuk touched his ear. He had needed to pierce it for the Beast King White Tiger’s Canine.

"I don’t feel so well."

"With your body?"

Junhyuk smiled awkwardly.

"I only look well on the outside. I don’t feel well inside."

He meant that he had pierced his ear for health reasons, and Somin looked at his ear.

"You should have something in it, otherwise it will close."

"Is that so? This is my first time."

Somin was up close to feel his ear and smiled warmly. He heard more footsteps approaching, and Somin also turned to look.

Mr. Jang and Jangho and the other coworkers came in.

"You two are doing good this morning."

Junhyuk smiled awkwardly.

"She’s giving me advice."

"Is that right?"

Mr. Jang smiled and patted Junhyuk’s shoulder.

"This ad is a success. The collaboration project is already the number one search online. Your name is number two."

"I didn’t do much."

"It’s because you showed your face. I knew you would do well."

Junhyuk laughed a little, and Mr. Jang whispered:

historical

"It will be on TV in two weeks. You’ll be a star."

"I don’t think so."

Junhyuk laughed, and Mr. Jang took his seat. Somin smiled at him and took her seat.

Junhyuk shook his head. Somin felt different from Sarang. Sarang felt like a younger sister while Somin felt like a grown woman.

The elevator stopped, and people came out. He could see Eunseo and Sukhoon Kim.

Sukhoon was greeted by many people, but he motioned for Junhyuk, and took him inside Eunseo’s office. Sukhoon pushed Eunseo’s wheelchair and smiled.

"The response to the ad is really hot. We are getting the most clicks on the internet."

He turned on the Smart TV and showed him the search engine stats.

At number one was the collaboration project, and number two was Junhyuk. Starting at number three were other people on the ad. Robotics and ST Capsule, and the prosthetic arm and leg were all in the top ten.

Junhyuk was relieved that the ad had been a success.

"The edited version will be broadcasted in two weeks."

"That’s nice."

Sukhoon walked over and patted Junhyuk’s shoulder.

"It’s a stroke of luck that we hired you as a worker model."

Sukhoon patted him again.

"Work hard from now on."

Junhyuk nodded, and Sukhoon went out. Junhyuk looked at Eunseo. She fixed her glasses and looked back at him.

"Robotics is responsible for the foreign advertising, and the ad is doing good on foreign sites."

"I’m glad."

"I planned it all." She said while looking at him.

"Thank you."

Eunseo calmly inspected him. He was not griping, but being sincere. Eunseo continued to look at him, and she found he looked different.

He was not taller but he felt like a giant. He was showing charisma, and she was even more interested in him.

"You are getting a lot of requests for interviews."

"Do I have to do them?"

"I turned them down for the most part, but after the official announcement of the collaboration project, I won’t turn them down."

He knew he had to do interviews. He had four weeks. If he only had two weeks, it might have been difficult for him."

"The Interviews will be prearranged, and you will know the questions and answers, so don’t worry too much."

"I understand."

"You may leave."

Junhyuk was about to go out when Eunseo stopped him.

"Why did you pierce your ear?"

He felt like a lot of people were interested in his ear.

"I heard it’s good for your health."

"You may leave."

Eunseo turned her tablet on and searched for a fancy jewelry site.

"He wears an earring?!"

She looked for men’s earrings and smiled a little.
