Episode 12: The Search for Genius
Geniuses already attract attention even before they step on stage. Can an awl stay hidden just because it’s in a pocket? Even if you didn’t know about it before stepping on stage, it’s bound to attract attention right away. Of course, there are no exceptions.

“Was it 6 months ago…? A supernova filled with likability appeared. You even picked a mythical god, right?”
“Was it 6 months ago…? A supernova who was filled with likability appeared. He even picked a mythical god, right?”
“The industry was turned upside down. How devastated I was for not being able to embrace it back then…”
“Ugh. No, how many cases like that are there? My heart trembles every time I hear news about him. Also, I would like to be the chief of the chiefs.”
“Ugh. No, how many cases are there like that? My heart trembles every time I hear news about him. Also, I would like to be the leader of the chiefs.”
From that day on, the number of scouts increased day by day, but newcomers who started out with valuable characteristics were as scarce as water in a drought.
From that day on, the number of scouts increased day by day, but newcomers who started out with valuable characteristics were as scarce as finding water during a drought.
What if it’s a combat-related trait?
“They told me to be prepared if I don’t find one within this month… What this means is that they’re telling me to go out and die.”
“I know, right? To put it bluntly, aren’t newcomers these days just newcomers? Everyone has a good understanding of their own worth, but if they have such good traits, why would they join a small guild instead of a large one?”
“Huh. Your darling is mine, man. Let’s find at least one more person while we’re complaining.”
“Huh. Don’t be so gloomy, man. Let’s find at least one more person while we’re complaining.”
Today, as always, I have no choice but to cry and go out looking for talented people despite my dissatisfaction.
“That guy ate it all up.”
“hmm… How is he? I think it’s a combat-type job.”
“Look at the way he swings his sword in the air. I’m betting my one year of experience on the fact that he doesn’t have any swordsmanship-related traits.”
“Maybe he’s a hero-grade?”
“Hey, why don’t you try doing this on One Today? At this point, how can you recognize talent by choosing a good job? It is worth investing in only if the traits are supported. Maybe it’s a mythical god or a rare hero god…”
“Hey, why don’t you try doing this on him today? At this point, how can you recognize talent just by looking at the job? It is worth investing in only if his traits are good. Maybe it’s a mythical god or a rare hero god…”
“Does he look okay? His eyes are alive.”
It’s already been 1 year and 6 months since the game was released. Those who had so-called free time had now reached the point where they could figure things out just by looking at them. This was the know-how I gained by talking to newcomers at all costs. Thanks to this, the scouter’s reality was that it was treated similar to ‘Do you believe in the Tao’ type of fraud among users, but thanks to this, the scouter’s ability to distinguish improved.
Surprisingly, the criteria by which they judged things were nothing grand.
Just as thieves judge people who seem good and easy-going like ghosts, they used to judge newcomers through their facial expressions, tone of voice, and conversations.
Going a step further, there were people who even looked at the eyes, and surprisingly, this had a high hit rate. This was because the newcomers who acquired good characteristics had a different air in their atmosphere.
“I can’t brag about it.”
“It’s like winning the lottery, but it won’t be noticeable, right?”
“If it were me, I’d go around the neighborhood screaming.”
For that reason, scouts kept an eye on newcomers’ eyes and facial expressions, and perhaps that’s why the users they most avoided were usually similar.
“Hmm… your eyes are so dead.”
“You’re at the level of a high school student who has completed three degrees? It makes me wonder what kind of trait you got.”
“Looking at that guy’s mental breakdown, I guess he didn’t get any combat-type traits.”
Because they all had a similar vibe.
It was then. A scouter who was observing newcomers slapped his colleague and made a gesture with his chin.
“Hey, look at that guy.”
“Hmm? Wow… it’s really a bomb, isn’t it?”
What they were looking at was a man. He looked quite masculine and had a warm appearance, but he was staring into space with blank eyes. His lips were even trembling as if he was muttering something over and over again while looking into space.
These are the newcomers that scouts most avoid. Not only did such people have the worst characteristics to the point where we had to consider deleting them, but there were many cases where even their God Draw was the worst.
“Tsk tsk, it looks like I stepped on poop… What on earth is happening? Has a lazy donkey god appeared?”
“There are so many worst gods, so I don’t know… It looks like some pretty bad traits have emerged.”
“There are so many worst gods, so I don’t know… It looks like he got some pretty bad traits.”
“Wasn’t Foot Eater the worst officially recognized trait?”
Foot Eater.
It is literally an ability that increases teleportation speed by eating the feet of insects or animals.
Not a lot, just a tiny bit.
I wonder if there are all these trash characteristics, but the reason this characteristic became famous was because users got it.
It’s a trait he acquired from actually sucking his feet because he was so angry that Charlie told him to just suck his feet.
Proudly, the protagonist of that bizarre story was Korean.
“I wonder if something like that came out.”
“Because the characteristics are so diverse… Maybe something more interesting came out of it.”
“Hmm… Whatever it was, it sure was bad.”
In fact, I have never seen someone who reacted like that again in higher-level content.
This was because more than nine out of ten people quit the game or deleted their characters and recreated them 60 days later.
It’s literally a bomb with a 99% hit rate.
“Just in case. You might just enjoy it in moderation without leveling up. Because there are a lot of things to see and do in God’Ose.”
“But… I heard that there are many people who play God’Ose to go on dates and have fun. After spending that much money…”
“Let’s just mind our own business.”
Because of this, scouts no longer paid attention to the man. They didn’t have enough time to even see other newbies.
That was the reason.
“Hey. Oh, I’m not some strange person. This is Bae Jin-cheol from the Peacemaker Guild. It’s no different…”
“… Yes? Do you like raw fish? Trying to eat it raw… No, what did you say just now!?”
“Hey, I’m not a scouter. Would you like to buy one item? There is a package that we are selling cheaply only to newbies.”
Scouters, newbies, and even merchants.
The reason why only Do-hyun can have his own time in the bustling central square is that information was floating in front of Dohyun’s eyes.

‘… Awesome, is this a true hero grade item from the beginning?
‘… Awesome, a true ‘hero grade’ item from the beginning?
The information on the necklace I received from Charlie that I couldn’t see, because I was changing jobs.
Even the options are unusual.
‘Ah… I really think I’m going to collapse from diabetes.’
Do-hyun was screaming internally at the succession of sweet rewards, and people were quietly avoiding his surroundings.
They won’t know.
That the man they were avoiding had not only the combat characteristics they wanted so much, but also had as many as five more characteristics.
In addition to being the only god in the history of the God of God, he also has a legendary title and a heroic necklace.
In addition to being the possessor of the only Red-grade god in the history of the God’Ose, he also has a legendary title and a heroic necklace.
Kaiser, it was the moment when he entered the God’Ose in earnest.
What is the first thing newbies do after completing the tutorial?
A view of a realistic, different-world landscape?
Another world restaurant mukbang? Avtartel’s special red beer?
All of that is good, but if you are a user who has demonstrated combat characteristics, seven times out of ten, they will shout with one mind.
“RPGs are about hunting after all!”
“Quick! Monsters! Find the monsters!”
“The Cheeky Goblin Shack has been searched.”
They say in God’Ose, hunting is the best of all things.
They were fascinated by teenage guilds and high-ranking boss raid videos of high-ranking figures, and they wanted to grow up and become stronger as soon as possible.
Gorgeous magic.
Brilliant swordsmanship.
A strong shield.
Divine effect…
Although they didn’t have anything, they were wizards and warriors that I could envy when they went out hunting.
But even they had something to protect.
“I have to take the quest.”
“The strategy book quest is essential.”
“Let’s go see Uncle Dante first.”
“Goblin Shack, please wait for a moment.”
Just a quest.
As with most RPG games, the quest efficiency of God’Ose was high.
Rather than spending some time running around the village while hunting, it’s quicker to get one or two quests.
Moreover, considering the quest rewards, it could be considered essential.
Because of this, God’Ose users were frantically looking for quests, and now, 1 year and 6 months later, most of the quest guides have been released.
[A must-read quest guidebook for beginners]
The strategy book, also known as a must-read for newbies, was one of them.
-It was really well organized.
-Honestly, the person who made this should be given an award.
-There is no batting line to skip. They even give you information on rare items, so you’d be a fool if you decide not to look at it.
If you follow the route written in the strategy book, you will not only reach level 12, which is when you graduate from the beginner city, but you will also be able to fill the Adventure Book and obtain rare grade items.
‘It’s an objectively well-written strategy book.’
As this is a strategy book that still occupies the top best index, Do-hyun also planned to follow that route.
If this was an advantage for latecomers, it was an advantage.
This was an advantage for latecomers.
Although I didn’t get the taste of learning about it myself, I was able to comfortably follow the path paved by the advance team.
It wasn’t difficult to find where Dante was.
It was kindly listed in the strategy book, but there was no need to look at it in the first place, you just had to follow where the users were flocking to.
‘As expected, it’s the rule of the country that if you go to a place with a lot of people, you’ll find what you want.’
This was an immutable law, no different from reality or a game.
When I arrived in front of the hut, I saw users gathered together. The sight of him muttering with a frown on his face did not seem very pleasant.
“It’s Dante! Receive it quickly… What are you going to do?”
“Miss, I need to get it quickly and go hunting. What is this? Why is the line so long?”
“Oh, even with virtual reality, it seems like this VR chronic disease hasn’t been cured.”
Quite a crowd.
The users were already dizzy as they were itching to hunt as soon as possible, but their complaints were quickly put to rest.
“Oh my, there are so many again this time! Then I will ask you without hesitation! Everyone, please slaughter those stupid goblins who are multiplying without notice!”
Tiring-.
[Quest ‘Goblin Cleaning’ occurs.]
[Goblin Cleaning]
-Grade: General
-Description: This is a quest requested by Dante, an advanced hunter from Arde.
There are not enough hunters in Arde to take care of the goblins, which are increasing in number day by day.
The situation was unprofitable for him, an advanced hunter, to step forward on his own. He asked the apostles who appeared in Arde just in time to clean up the troublesome goblins.
-Kill Goblins (0/40)
-Reward upon clearing: 80 silver, a certain amount of experience.
-Risk in case of failure: Dante’s favorability may be reduced.
-Time limit: 24 hours
[Do you want to accept the quest?]
‘… Hmm?’
I was able to receive the quest right away thanks to Dante’s hotness, which gave me a group request as soon as I arrived.
