Chapter 146: Beanie’s Innocent Transformation
Hyemin'sDaddy laughed awkwardly when he saw Minhyuk standing in a daze in front of Beanie. He said, “Ha, hahahaha. H…he looks good? Right?”
“Ah. Oh... Mhhm....” Minhyuk chose to hum. He was completely clueless on how to respond to those words. Whether he agreed or not with the sentiment would remain unknown to everyone.
However, unlike Minhyuk and Hyemin'sDaddy, Hyeminnie was smiling broadly at Beanie. She said, “Kyaaaaa~!?Baby poopy looks so cuuuuuuuuute!”
“Oink!”
[Beanie is feeling more confident.]
Then, Beanie approached the mirror that Hyeminnie brought over to look at itself.
“E…everything that Beanie wanted was achieved, huh?”
“But,?but Beanie?can only wear two artifacts... So what's going on with that pot lid?”
“Ah. The effects won’t be exhibited due to the restrictions. But, I added a special effect that can let him wear it even with the restrictions. Once the artifact restriction gets lifted, he will be able to wear more artifacts later on.”
Minhyuk nodded in understanding. Then, Hyemin'sDaddy handed Pandora's Helmet over to him. The subtle glow of light that had been continuously emitting from it was no longer shining. Right now, it just looked like a tough, strong helmet. On top of that, it looked vastly different from Oz’s Helmet, the horned helmet that he previously equipped.
“Please check Beanie’s artifact too.”
“Yep.”

‘Oh?’
Minhyuk was quite impressed with the Artifact’s Form Transformation skill. Then, he turned his sights towards his frying pan that was quietly hanging on his back.
‘What Frying Pan Killer, that is the Frying Pan Killer?!’
Minhyuk did not want to be famous. However, recently, he had been the talk of the town and it had been quite difficult to move quietly for his own purposes.
‘Artifact’s Form Transformation.’
As soon as Minhyuk finished thinking about the skill, the notifications came up.
[Hepas’ Legendary Frying Pan can now change its form.]
[Rapier, Longsword, Greatsword, Katana... Omitted...]
Minhyuk quickly chose the rapier. Then, Hepas’ Frying Pan suddenly changed its form into that of a rapier. Minhyuk touched the frying pan and it quickly turned back into a frying pan.
“In the case of an armor, once the enemy hits it with an attack, it will return back to its original shape,” Hyemin'sDaddy explained the skill further when he noticed Minhyuk casting Artifact’s Form Transformation.
Minhyuk nodded as he turned his frying pan back into the shape of a rapier. Then, he also turned his Armor of Immortality into the shabby leather armor that novices use. As expected, Hyemin'sDaddy, Hepas’ Descendant, was truly worth his price.
As for Beanie’s artifacts, even though they all look ridiculous, they were still good enough that other players would become wide-eyed with jealousy once they saw them. The most important thing was that Beanie was satisfied with it. No matter how strange it looked, it did not matter as long as Beanie was happy with it. That was what Minhyuk thought.
“We’re going to use it well. Beanie, say goodbye!”
“Oiiink!” Beanie cried, bowing at a 90-degree angle.
Hyemin'sDaddy, also known as Hepas’ Descendant, chuckled at the sight.
“Ah, when will we receive the land and title?”
“I just came back after asking. They said that they will give it after one week once all of the guild members have gathered.”
“Aha.”
Usually, a title or a territory would only be rewarded to a guild once all of the guild members had gathered. Currently, almost all of the guild members of Legend Guild were busily moving around as they pioneered the Northern Continent. Thanks to Minhyuk, they had received Goddess Juis’ buffs, which spurred them on even more.
“Are you leaving? Where do you plan on going next?” Hyemin’sDaddy asked. He could see that Minhyuk had prepared something, so he was curious about where he wanted to go.
“Yes. I’m going out to sea.”
***
Genie, Khan and Locke all returned to Valkyrie Kingdom after they had finished all of their chances of attacking the dungeon today. They met Hyemin'sDaddy in the kingdom and heard that Minhyuk went out to sea.
“We don’t have much time...”
“How about sending a whisper?”
They badly needed Minhyuk’s help to lessen their time in the Time Attack Dungeon. However, who would have thought that Minhyuk had already left for the sea.
“I think he’ll be back in a week, though?”
“Ah. Is that so?”
“Yes. I heard that the guild members all have to gather after a week to receive the title and territory.”
“Ah...” Genie nodded. However, by the time Minhyuk came back, the Time Attack Dungeon would be ending already.
‘But…Minhyuk just left. I can’t just tell him to come back just like that.’
Genie wanted to give Minhyuk as much freedom and convenience as possible.
“There’s no helping it,” Genie said, smiling bitterly. It seemed like their ambitions and hopes of reaching and taking the top spot in the Time Attack Dungeon had to be pushed back to next time. Khan and Locke seemed like they understood the meaning of her words.
“Oh right. Why don’t you check your REP first?”
“Yeah. Wait,” Genie said, nodding her head.
King Varen would give them their reward, but they would only be able to receive the title and the territory if they had a high enough REP. Every kingdom or empire would have different requirements for the REP needed to get a title. The title that they would receive would depend on the amount of REP that they had.
As they were walking through the kingdom, they were able to meet with the commander of the knights, Sir Perle. He asked, “Oh. His Highness Varen said that he’s going to grant you the title of a Viscount?”
“Yes. His Highness, Varen, said so himself.”
Even though they would be given the title, they believed that they would at most receive the title of a?Baron or at least the title of a Baronet.?Why? It was because the Northern Continent was a newly pioneered continent. For that reason, some people were still reluctant to give them a higher title, no matter how widely known and popular Legend Guild was in Valkyrie Kingdom. It was still a little difficult for the citizens to accept them as one of their own. However, King Varen seemed to be extremely grateful to them, and had let one slide.
“Check it faster!”
There was a simple way for players to check on which title they could get and how much REP ?they needed for said title. All they needed to do was to go to the main bulletin of the city and check it. The main bulletin served as a guide to the city’s specialties, NPCs, open quests, and information of the likes. ?When Genie checked the main bulletin, her eyes widened in shock.
“...I…is that right?” Genie said, gnawing her lips in worry. Khan and Locke also frowned when they saw her being anxious.
“Why?”
When they looked at the bulletin, they could not help but gasp in shock and disbelief.
“This is crazy. You need at least 800 REP to become a viscount...?!”
“OMG...!”
The three of them all frowned at the same time. Genie’s reputation was only at 500 right now.
“This is the Northern Continent, you know. So we need that much to get a title and territory here.”
“Do any of our guild members have that high REP?”
“Aside from Genie, I don’t think there’s anyone else.”
They knew that Genie had the highest REP among them. However, they saw Genie shaking her head. She said, “There is. He has a reputation that’s a little… no, much higher than mine.”

Dragon King’s Sea.
An old man was loading a fishing net and a fishing rod as he prepared to set sail on his boat.
“Ayo! Grandpa Ben! Are you going out to sea again today?”
“Of course! I’ll definitely catch it today!” Grandpa Ben said, grinning widely at the person that greeted him.
Grandpa Ben was a famous fisherman. However, he had been struggling to catch this one fish for several years. The fish was none other than the ‘Golden Salmon’. The Golden Salmon was an extremely rare fish in the Dragon King’s Sea!
Ben had declared that he would only stop fishing once he had caught this fish. He had been chasing after the Golden Salmon for quite a long time now. In fact, this was a legendary game among fishermen. However, for Grandpa Ben, it was a necessary game! His son was killed at sea and the Golden Salmon was bait that could lure out that bastard culprit!
Just as Grandpa Ben was about to set sail with his boat...
“Hello!”
…A young man greeted him. Ben could see a fishing rod hanging on the young man’s back. He watched the young man nibble on some grilled buttered corn. It seemed like he was extremely hungry.
“Ho. A foreigner?”
A foreigner! Dragon King’s Sea had become a lot more peaceful thanks to Goddess Juis’ blessings. This was the reason why plenty of foreigners appeared and entered Valkyrie Kingdom.
“Yes. Why are you going out to sea?”
Ben looked at the young man and said, “The fishes that we’re catching here are all lame and uninteresting, so I’m going out there to catch the best fish!”
“Ooooooh?!!! The best? What kind of fish is it?!”
“The sea out there has a lot of those faded flatfish, rockfish, and even diamond saury! Fish that can’t usually be caught in these shallow waters!”
“Woooooow...!” The young man exclaimed, eyes widening in shock. He looked like he just heard an unbelievable story. Then, the boy leaned over and asked excitedly, “By any chance, can I go with you?”
“Uhm... You, boy?” Ben asked, looking at the boy from head to toe. The boy looked shabby with his black rapier and helmet. As if realizing that it was rude to greet someone without showing his face, the man quickly took off his helmet. What greeted Ben was a handsome smiling face.
“Hehe. I also want to go with you!”
‘The young man took off his helmet as a sign of courtesy and respect for me!’
“Boy, what is your class?”
“I’m a chef. Ah, I’ll make you delicious food with whatever we caught on the way!”
“A...a chef,” Ben said, rubbing his chin in thought. It was true that there would be plenty of fish that would be caught on their way, and it would be amazing if he could eat them more deliciously than usual!
“Okay, get on!”
“Thank you very much!” The man said, quickly boarding the boat as they silently departed from the port.
***
Lee Minhwa’s eyes were shaking wildly, like an aspen leaf out in the open. She hurriedly shouted, “T…Team Leader!!!”
Team Leader Park hurried over when he heard her voice that sounded much more urgent and hurried than normal. He asked, “What’s the problem?”
Team Leader Park frowned as he followed her shaking finger that was pointing at the monitor.
“Ben? He’s going with Ben now?”
The reason why both Lee Minhwa and Team Leader Park were so shocked was because of the owner of the boat that Minhyuk was riding on.
“Of all the boats that he could have boarded, how did he board the boat of one of the ‘Pinnacle Strong Men’?”
