You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿-Chapter 125

Humans are ultimately pack animals, and it is easy for them to be swept up by collective moods. That much was something I knew well.

"Th-thank you for taking the photo. Can I tag it on Beolseuseu?"

"......Sure."

"I've been supporting you from the beginning. Fighting!"

But, I never imagined it would be like this.

The woman who had taken the photo with me disappeared into the distance.

Shin Ji-eum shook her head.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

"I don't think you have to respond to every photo request like this, Jeong Da-on Hunter. It’s never going to end."

"............"

She's right.

"How many times has this been? My noodles are all soggy."

At first, Lee Pyeong-hwa had teased me, asking if I were some kind of celebrity, but now he had the same tired expression.

"Here, I’ll give you one of my dumplings. Eat this."

"I don’t need it."

"You’re turning down a dumpling?"

After taking pictures several times while trying to eat, I had lost my appetite.

Lee Pyeong-hwa clicked his tongue.

"You've lost weight. If you're doing strength training every morning but not eating, you're going to lose muscle instead."

I knew this well, but there was nothing I could do about it.

It was understandable, considering I had been encountering people who insisted on taking pictures and videos of me almost every time I went outside to tackle the dungeon for nearly two weeks.

It was the day after I had unintentionally received the gratitude of low-level hunters in a D-rank dungeon.

"Da-Da-on! Look at this!"

While I was preparing for work in the morning, Jeong Da-jeong ran over with a phone in her hand.

She had been brushing her teeth, and when she splashed some water, Leo got scared and hid behind me, stepping on Robo and causing it to squeak.

"You did the dungeon run yesterday?!"

"What are you talking about? I went to work at HP Guild, so of course I did. Finish brushing your teeth first."

"No, I mean... that video of the dungeon run got uploaded? It’s ranked number 1 in Ingeupdong."

"What?"

At Jeong Da-jeong's words, I snatched the phone from her.

I checked the trending video on YouTube...

"Wait, do people film vlogs in the dungeon?"

"Yeah, surprisingly, a lot."

Why would anyone set up a camera and film while collecting in the dungeon, instead of just focusing on the task? No matter how low-level the dungeon is, it's still dangerous.

I thought this, but I continued watching the video.

The account name was "Beginner Gatherer's VLOG."

The main content of the videos showed the daily life of a hunter gathering in dungeons.

And when the account holder set up the camera and started gathering, just as usual...

"Aaaah!"

The scream caused the camera to shake violently.

The screen showed a slime covered in mud and the low-level hunters screaming,

"Thank you!"

And after defeating the slime, a man was seen lying flat on the ground, thanking me.

"Thank you for what?"

Then, my voice and face were caught as I spoke to the man.

"It's really nothing, why are you thanking me for this..."

"This is subtle," I couldn’t help but admire it.

In reality, it was a line I said after reading the system message, but looking at the video, it seemed like I was speaking to the man lying before me.

In other words, it looked very humble.

It was the kind of thing that could easily earn favor with the public.

That was the end of my appearance in the video.

The account holder, a beginner gatherer, added a caption saying how surprised they were by the sudden monster appearance but later realized they were lucky to see an S-rank hunter.

They added a nice story that had been trending recently.

"Well, it was lucky."

When I checked the comments, I saw that the account, which had only 10,000 subscribers before, now had more than 100,000 subscribers after this video went viral.

The comments were full of reactions.

Jeong Da-on’s good deed: +1

Rare video. The owner is lucky, lol, views going crazy~

Wasn’t Jeong Da-on supposed to be in the army? Why is she in civilian clothes running dungeons?

└She’s working as public service for the guild, lol. She occasionally does this to save costs for wizard research.

Guys, stop hating on Jeong Da-on, lol. She seems like a good person. She saved them and said it was nothing~.

Everyone's got such inferiority complexes~ lol, they had been accusing her of being a school violence perpetrator.

└What inferiority? Did you not watch the graduation video? She looked terrifyingly scary.

└Honestly, if she really was a school violence perpetrator, I can understand why she did it. If school violence had been eradicated, none of this would have happened. The school should be fully investigated!

Jeong Da-on defends foreigners, but protects Koreans too, lol. Looks cool how she stepped up.

└What’s this about?

└Search for the video where Jeong Da-on teaches a foreign hunter a lesson.

This feels like a real video, haha. She finally looks like a person instead of just an S-rank hunter.

└I agree, I agree. After seeing these huge scale battles, it’s refreshing to see her with low-level hunters.

I want to see her in real life.

Haha, check out her dialogue. She says it’s unnecessary to thank her, lol.

She’s the blessing of Korea~ ^^ Liking and moving on. Wishing you success.

If Jeong Da-on is the next Yoo Han-ul, upvote this comment.

Check out the tags, lol. #JeongDaOn #SRankHunter #PrideOfKorea #DaOnGoodDeed #JeongDaOnGoodDeedChallenge #LikeAndSubscribe

└The tag selection clearly shows they’re going to milk this for views.

└What’s the "Good Deed Challenge" lol?

└I can't resist Korean pride.

"No, you should have mosaicked their faces if you're going to post random videos of people!"

Jeong Da-jeong, who had finished brushing her teeth and walked over to me, was furious.

"Let's sue them. It's an invasion of privacy. We can ask them to take the video down..."

"...Forget it."

"Huh?"

Jeong Da-jeong looked at me with wide eyes.

"Are you okay with this being up? Really?"

Of course, I wasn't okay with it, and I was very upset that someone posted a video of me without permission.

But honestly, public favor was such a fleeting thing, something that could be turned around at any moment, so I didn't feel thrilled about receiving it.

However...

"If the public favor of social members affects quest assessments, then it's a different story."

Jeong Da-on (Normal)

Potential Ability Evaluation: S-Rank

Health: LV. 24 (Limit: None)

Strength: LV. 28 (Limit: None)

Mana: LV. 85 (Limit: None)

Total Level Score: LV. 45

My health and strength stats had increased by 2 each.

Of course, I had gotten stat boosts before after being judged for righteous deeds.

But at that time, it was when I risked my life to save children, and now, I had just defeated a slime, yet my stats still went up.

It was simply because my public favor had increased, and that small difference made the entire assessment more beneficial.

The overall level score and physical enhancement levels are unbalanced. Excessive use of mana could cause the body to break down. Please be cautious.And currently, in order to handle this mana, I needed at least level 45 in health and strength.

"I can't keep maintaining this body with temporary potions forever."

Luckily, I've been doing low-level dungeons lately, but even so, when I try to cast slightly higher-level magic, my body screams from trying to handle too much mana.

Normally, I would go to my storage to get the potions I made to enhance my body, but I couldn't guarantee how long it would take to go back to my storage in this dungeon.

Though I had some free time now that I worked for the HP Guild, there were still limits.

But if public favor raised my stats so easily like this...

"It’s really a pathetic thing to do."

If you're a demon, you should use everything you can to your advantage.

Even if it means winning over this foolish collective intelligence.

From that moment on, my course of action became very clear.

Fwoosh!

The shield I had summoned spread out in front of Lee Pyeong-hwa, exactly as I had promised.

And...

Snicker!

The magic circle that the wizard next to me had tried to cast fizzled out, making a deflating sound as it disappeared.

“Ugh!”

And when the magic was interrupted, the caster couldn't help but be affected.

“Ugh, I failed!”

The wizard, who had failed to cast a shield in front of a goblin, was gasping for air.

It was a mistake that excited casters often make when they don’t infuse enough mana into a magic circle before casting it, especially before a battle.

The knights at the front were flustered.

“What do we do if it fails? Cast it again immediately!”

“I-I’m trying, but...!”

“Hurry up! These goblins are so fast!”

The wizard's face was full of distress.

'Seeing this, Shin Ji-eum's policy makes sense.'

Shin Ji-eum had continued taking me and Lee Pyeong-hwa along on typical low-level dungeon runs.

Korean hunters receive military training as part of mandatory service, but tackling dungeons after discharge is a different story.

Especially low-level hunters, who only practice dungeon patterns around their assigned posts, have limits when it comes to tackling various dungeons they’ve never experienced.

If they make a mistake like this, their mental state crumbles immediately.

“It’s fine. I’ll handle it!”

Lee Pyeong-hwa, who was at the front, blocked the charging goblins.

The longsword he had picked up to learn universal swordsmanship shone with a bluish light.

He definitely had talent.

And in this situation, not panicking and stepping up first showed his courage.

Under Shin Ji-eum's guidance, his talent would soon bloom.

“Well, what should we do... the magic won’t cast!”

“...There’s nothing to overthink.”

Then, I too needed to do my part.

I looked at the wizard, who was trembling after failing to cast a spell.

It was harder than it seemed to raise both corners of my mouth, but I managed to recall how Jeong Da-jeong usually smiled.

I also remembered how her voice sounded when she spoke to me.

"It’s just nerves. You already have what it takes to cast the spell."

This low-level shield could be °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° cast even by that goblin. If you're a wizard, you should be ashamed of yourself.

"I’ll help. Let’s try again."

Still, as a hunter who had finished mandatory service, how could she not do this...

It was extremely frustrating that I couldn't say this aloud.

"Yes, yes! I’ll try again!"

The wizard’s eyes filled with tears after receiving my encouragement.

Her voice sounded genuinely moved.

I saw the brooch-shaped recorder attached to her collar, but I pretended not to notice.

It was fortunate for me that most people who run personal channels these days are quite skilled in editing.

And when it comes to views, there are many monsters willing to do anything.

Who is really the demon here?

"What's this?"

"You've come at the right time."

"No, why are you suddenly throwing a punch as soon as we meet?"

But I wasn't hit.

I found myself facing Han Jae-young, who had put strength training into his routine every morning but had been avoiding me for a while. To be more accurate, it was Han Jae-young who had called me to the guild leader's office.

"I want to punch you, but first, look at this."

On his desk, there was a large monitor showing various videos of me.

Han Jae-young stared at one video and let out a hollow laugh.

"I’ve never seen you smile like that before, Da-on. Wow, your lips are trembling. You can’t act, huh?"

Where exactly?

To me, it seemed like Da-jeong’s smile, but maybe Han Jae-young noticed it quicker than I did.

"It’s only been a short time, and suddenly, so many short clips are being created?"

"Didn’t you say so? I’m not exactly a regular person anymore."

"Well, I just meant you should be a little more careful with your everyday actions."

Han Jae-young sighed deeply.

"Have you ever had an incident where you went to a café and your order was wrong, so you asked them to remake it, and it got filmed and you were called an entitled hunter?"

"That happened?"

"It did."

"I didn’t think you’d be the type to care about something like that."

"I don’t usually care, but as you know, I have a lot of things I need to hide."

After all, the fact that I was part fairy and could transform into another person was something that shouldn’t be known.

Han Jae-young's smile twisted oddly.

"Everyone’s obsessed with views. They even went to my alma mater to find out about my past, and some people got my old address by requesting a copy of my family registry and came to ask around. It was such a troublesome time. Not just for me, but for my family."

I recalled something Han Jae-young had mentioned earlier.

"A person I know spent six years trying to return to Earth, and during that time, they even had a beautiful child in another dimension..."

That was probably a story about Han Jae-young's mother.

Maybe it meant he didn’t want his mother’s past to be exposed to the world.

"So, since then, I avoid public exposure as much as possible. I’ve even taken down most of my photos."

At the same time, it felt like a warning to me.

Han Jae-young knew that my weak point was Jeong Da-jeong. If I became more publicly exposed, Jeong Da-jeong would likely suffer the same kind of attention.

This was definitely something to remember.

"I'll gratefully accept your advice."

"Still, I didn’t expect you to use this fame so well, Da-on. Are you really trying to become the next national hero after Yoo Han-ul?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"...It fits, and yet it doesn’t. Then again, looking at your actions so far, you’re not that different from Yoo Han-ul."

"Are you crazy?"

"You said you would, didn’t you?"

What I was doing was a calculated move to increase my stats. It wasn’t a genuine action, and honestly, it made me feel a little nauseous.

...But I couldn’t say that out loud.

I changed the subject.

"So, why did you call me?"

"I found it."

Whoosh!

Han Jae-young threw something toward me.

I caught it immediately, feeling the heavy weight of metal in my hand.

"This is..."

"The item with the two snakes carved on it."

A familiar pendant with two snakes engraved on it gleamed in my hand.

It had the same design as the one on the bracelet.

It was definitely an item made by Orbis.

Han Jae-young squinted and smiled.

"This might be your chance to become a hero again."
