The Player Who Stands Above All

Chapter 166

"As expected, it's different because it's expensive."

Eun Yeonwoo, whose fatigue had been completely relieved thanks to the expert's touch, marveled as he did some simple stretching.

'I heard I was passed out for almost a whole day, but my body wasn't in a state to return to normal in just one day.'

According to the man's explanation, it was possible thanks to the generous use of oil made from the highest-grade potions and the continuous use of his healing ability.

Eun Yeonwoo, who had trembled at the price of the massage the man had first mentioned, naturally understood the price the man had mentioned as soon as he experienced the effect himself.

'Still, it's a little disappointing that the hardship of the past three days seems to have disappeared as well. I can't believe not a single scar was left.'

No, when he checked the mirror while showering, it was beyond not having a single scar left; his skin had completely turned into baby skin.

Eun Yeonwoo, feeling similar to a person who couldn't sleep because they had drunk too much coffee, changed his clothes.

"Hoo… alright, let's go."

As Eun Yeonwoo, who had finished preparing, came down to the living room.

"Ah, Hyung! You're up!"

"Yeonwoo-oppa! Are you okay?"

Lee Hyunseok and Lee Hyunyoung, who were sitting on the sofa and talking, greeted him with bright smiles.

"Yes, you guys seem to be fine too."

Eun Yeonwoo chuckled as he looked at the two's faces, which had become firm without any fatigue.

"Ah, seeing you say that, it seems Hyung also received that massage."

"Isn't that amazing? It was so refreshing when I was getting it, and I was surprised when I looked in the mirror after getting it."

"Yes, I was surprised too."

While the three were talking like that, their heads naturally turned to the sound of a presence approaching from the direction of the guest room.

The staff who had finished their roles had already left the house.

So it was obvious who the owner of this presence was without even looking.

"Seeing as I can hear your voices from afar, it seems you've definitely recovered your energy."

"Hello."

Lee Sieun and Lee Jieun were walking over with their hair wet, as if they had just showered.

"Huh? You didn't dry your hair?"

"Hair? There was no hairdryer in the room, so we just dried it with a towel and came out. And Al, Sieun doesn't really use a hairdryer."

"You can't do that! Hair is so important."

"It's annoying."

While Lee Hyunyoung was drying Lee Sieun's and Lee Jieun's hair with a hairdryer she had brought from somewhere.

"You're very energetic."

Lee Shin, who had come over after hearing the sound, wearing a black apron, called them.

"Aren't you guys hungry? How can you be so full of energy after starving for a whole day?"

Gurgle-

As if answering Lee Shin's words, a gurgling sound echoed in the living room.

There was no need to find the culprit.

Because everyone present, except for Lee Shin, was the culprit.

-Having a body must be inconvenient.

At Irehgue's words, Lee Shin chuckled and said.

"I've made food, so come and eat."

"Food? Don't tell me you cooked, Hyung?"

"So?"

As Lee Hyunseok asked with a surprised face, Lee Shin nodded his head nonchalantly.

"I made it while you guys were sleeping. I emptied the whole refrigerator to make it, so there won't be a shortage of food."

"You emptied the whole refrigerator?"

At Lee Shin's words, Eun Yeonwoo reacted sensitively.

And for good reason, the refrigerator was originally under Eun Yeonwoo's jurisdiction, and inside that refrigerator were various sauces and ingredients that Eun Yeonwoo cherished.

"The expiration date was about to pass anyway."

"Hmm, I guess so."

As Eun Yeonwoo said that and let it go, Lee Shin looked at them and said.

"Then come and eat."

At Lee Shin's words, the five of them looked at him with a slightly suspicious expression, but they couldn't overcome the urging of their stomachs and went to the dining table and sat down.

"Now, eat a lot and recover quickly."

As Lee Shin had said, numerous dishes were laid out on the dining table.

Simple cream soup, fried rice with various things thrown in, a steaming stew, various meat dishes, and so on.

"Wow, it's much more delicious than I thought."

"With skills like this, why did you only eat cup noodles?"

Lee Shin's cooking skills were surprisingly excellent, so they continued their meal with a happy heart and filled their stomachs.

As they filled their stomachs, their bodies demanded sleep to recover completely.

"Now then, you guys go to sleep."

Lee Shin, who had noticed that, said lightly and gestured for them to go to sleep.

"Is that okay?"

"You must be tired from moving excessively for three days, so it can't be helped. And you have to rest well now to become stronger."

At Lee Shin's words, not only Lee Hyunseok and Lee Hyunyoung, but also Lee Sieun and Lee Jieun nodded their heads and went to their respective beds.

"Are you serious right now?"

And among them, only Eun Yeonwoo was looking at Lee Shin with suspicious eyes, as if something was strange.

In Eun Yeonwoo's experience, if Lee Shin smiled like that, there was definitely…

"Now, you've slept well, so you've rested enough, right? Then let's go out now."

"Where all of a sudden?"

Something big and troublesome had happened.

And as Eun Yeonwoo had predicted.

Kiiik-

"Now, get down."

The next day, Lee Shin led the five who had just woken up and came to a high-end department store in Seoul.

"Why did we suddenly come here?"

"Ah, I have to go somewhere for a moment, and it's a gathering of quite high-ranking people."

"…Yes?"

Eun Yeonwoo felt the sleepiness in his head completely disappear and looked at Lee Shin.

"So we need to dress up a bit to avoid being looked down upon."

But Lee Shin continued to speak as if he weren't joking right now.

At that, Eun Yeonwoo was about to say he didn't want to, but.

"I don't…"

"So let's each spend lightly within 100 million won to dress up and come."

The words came out of Lee Shin's mouth faster.

Eun Yeonwoo knew.

That this was a clear trap.

"Don't?"

"…It would be rude to be late, so let's get ready quickly and go there."

And that he couldn't refuse this sweet trap.

***

"They're already open for business even though the city hasn't been properly restored yet."

"Seoul has very little human and property damage. And this place isn't open for normal business either. They're only opening it to VIPs and VVIPs."

"As expected, you have to have a lot of money first…"

The three who were in charge of being the misers in this party.

While Lee Hyunyoung, Eun Yeonwoo, and Lee Hyunseok were whispering and revealing their greed for money.

"This way."

Lee Shin was guided and went to the place used by VVIP guests.

"By the way, how did Hyung come to a place like this?"

"I know, right, ahjussi usually only wears clothes with strange skulls drawn on them."

"Probably, Jaehyun pulled some strings or Cheon Yuhwa-ssi said something from behind."

At Eun Yeonwoo's words, Irehgue chuckled.

-That child is very quick-witted.

'He was tormented by people from a young age, so he has no choice.'

As Eun Yeonwoo had guessed, the reason Lee Shin had come here was thanks to Cheon Yuhwa.

'It would have been nice if she had given me money while giving me the authority… but, well, I have a lot of money, so it doesn't matter.'

-The money you had obtained while catching the black guilds in the past was not even all used up, and this time, you even had obtained a large number of magic stones from LV.4 monsters, so you're overflowing with it.

"This is the place."

While Lee Shin was making jokes with Irehgue, he was guided and entered the VVIP room.

The place was full of a luxury that even someone who knew nothing could tell.

"It's fancy."

-Hmph! The lair I'll make later will be even fancier than this.

It was the first time for Lee Shin to be in a place like this, but in the first place, his nervous system was made not to react to such things.

"The walls, floor, and ceiling are all marble."

"It doesn't seem like ordinary marble either."

"It's good enough to be used instead of a mirror."

Eun Yeonwoo, Lee Hyunseok, and Lee Hyunyoung, whose growing environment was poor, had their eyes wide open, but thanks to experiencing various things with Lee Shin, they didn't look intimidated.

"There are windows, but they're high, so it would be hard to jump out and escape."

"Yes, and the windows don't seem to be ordinary windows either."

Lee Sieun and Lee Jieun, who had already had experience invading a place like this a few times, were looking inside while analyzing the invasion and escape routes.

"Now, then, see you later."

"Huh? Aren't we looking around together?"

At Lee Shin's sudden words, Lee Hyunseok asked.

"Yes, you get all of this separately. It's a place where you can shower, do your hair, and choose clothes, so there's a lot to do."

"…I've never worn such luxury clothes before, what should I do?"

"If you just sit still, those people will choose clothes that suit you."

As Lee Shin said that, a woman in a suit approached him and bowed her head politely.

"Hello, I am Lee Hyeseon, the helper who will be assisting you with your shopping this time. I will guide you."

Lee Shin greeted the woman who had appeared at a good time and said in a slightly loud voice so that it could be heard even beyond the door.

"The dress code is to just wear enough not to be looked down upon anywhere. As I said before, the budget is within 100 million won, and even if it exceeds, don't exceed 200 million."

Lee Shin heard the sound of busy footsteps outside the door and then smiled.

It seemed it would be fine since the staff were quick-witted.

"Then see you later."

Lee Shin said that and followed Lee Hyeseon to a private room.

"Could you tell me what kind of clothes you are looking for?"

"A suit that is luxurious yet can be worn comfortably."

"Would it be alright if I recommended a few brands?"

Since he had come with that intention in the first place, Lee Shin nodded his head.

At that, Lee Hyeseon handed him a book of the brand that had the characteristics Lee Shin had mentioned a moment ago, among the brands she had had in mind since she had first seen him.

"The brands I recommend are Cloriac, Jirmia, and Downs. They are all brands famous for their practicality and luxury using dungeon materials, so you will like them."

Lee Shin nodded his head appropriately and looked at the book.

'What do you think would be good?'

-Just because I'm a dragon doesn't mean I have a special eye for something.

To be honest, in Lee Shin's eyes, there were only minor differences, and most of them looked similar.

So he decided to change his way of thinking and choose.

"This one."

"…This one, you mean?"

As Lee Hyeseon asked as if she were serious, Lee Shin said with a smile.

"It's not a place where I have to be polite and still, but a place where it's important to leave an impression."

At Lee Shin's words, Lee Hyeseon nodded her head as if she understood and went out, saying to wait for a moment.

In the meantime, Lee Shin decided to look at other things.

Because it would be more convenient to change all at once after taking a shower.

"I've brought them. And just in case, I've also brought things similar to what you chose, customer."

"Yes, I understand."

Lee Shin got up from his seat and looked at the clothes leisurely, listening to her advice.

Just thinking about how to dress to engrave himself in the minds of the high-ranking people and annoy Cheon Yuhwa made him happy.
