The Strongest Florist - Chapter 1

“What? Flower shop?”

Wan-sik, who was running on the treadmill with Jae-ho, asked back with a ridiculous look.

“Hey, keep your voice down.”

Jae-ho looked around with a hush.

an old fitness center with a feeling of time

There were some old men who were exercising, but no one was interested in their stories.

But it wasn’t them that Jae-ho cared about.

“I saw you go out earlier, sir. Don’t be scared.”

“Oh, really?”

Jae-ho’s counterpart was his father, the director of the gym.

Hwang Woo-ram.

a manly man among men who spew testosterone from the whole body

It was Uram who caused the game just by taking out the flower shop’s “ᄁ” in front of him.

On the other hand, Jaeho was a man who loved flowers.

“Fuck with that face.”

“…….”

Jae-ho smiled bitterly at the fact that the meal was finished.

No matter how much Jae-ho liked flowers, no one believed him in this horrid appearance-oriented world.

Stiff muscles 192 centimeters tall and wrapped like ironclad.

This overwhelming physical presence is bound to shrink those who are easily affected, but even their faces were perfect.

The ever-presently serious and heavy features exuded the power of an absolute predator.

For example, when Jae-ho’s father Woo-ram set up a fitness center here, a local gangster came to rob him of his seat tax.

And it was Jae-ho who was looking at the counter instead of Woo-ram, who was away for a while…….

Swoosh-

Jae-ho’s eyes turned to a man in his early thirties who was jumping rope hard on one side of the gym.

That robust figure was the present of the gangster who came then.

And the person next to him is the other brother who came with him… He’s your brother on the other side.….

On that day, after the true education (?), he became a regular member of the gym and was still attending.

Hwang Jae-ho, a high school student, used to be that great, but now he’s a 24-year-old Korean Gun-ah who’s been to the military, is he pathetic?

It was his father, Uram, who was trying to turn Jae-ho into a martial arts fighter, but fortunately that didn’t happen thanks to his only weakness, his mother.

But there was no guarantee that she could use her mother to the flower shop.

‘No, I’m sure it’ll fail.’

It was because of my mother’s wish that I came to the prestigious four-year university.

“What’s your excuse? Why can’t you be honest? Any plant will wither away as long as you burn it.”

“…….”

It was true.

Even living if you soak in water, onion was about ttongson to wither and die.

“And I’m allergic. You’re just so opposite to the flowers.”

“…….”

For one reason or another, Jae-ho’s fantasy could not be realized.

But what if the latest technology is together?

“Oh, my… …anything you can do is New World, but no one’s going to start doing a flower shop.”

“Why? It doesn’t matter what I do. I’ve seen some people just fishing before.”

“Well, that’s true. But what are you going to do? He’ll be surprised if he finds out.”

“That’s…”

When the capsule first appeared with New World, Uram said.

“You’re gonna stick yourself in that coffin and lie down for hours? Do you know how much muscle loss that happens?!

“Hmmm, not right now, but as long as I’m independent…….”

“I’ll save a lot of money for my own room deposit and the cost of capsules. You got a loan for your school tuition, too.”

“……well, it’s not an environment where you can’t play at all, is it? There’s a capsule room.”

Jae-ho, who stopped the treadmill, said while looking at the finished meal.

“I was going to ask you to go to the capsule room with me anyway. I heard you started New World recently.”

“Yes, I did. New World is the basic thing to get involved in children’s conversations.”

“You’re funny. You just wanted to get involved with the kids somehow.”

“Ugh… …Oh, no.”

“It’s because of the height difference, actually, you’re more muscular than I am. You’ve been through it since freshman year, right?”

“Oh, my God! But you still have a pretty face! More than you…….”

The quarrel between the two, which was hard to reach, continued until they headed to the shower room.

* * *

Jaeho came to the capsule room for the first time in his life following the completion.

As I looked around with a curious face, Wan-sik poked me in the ribs.

“Hey… …can’t you just take a look around? Embarrassing, what’

“Oh, no… …Why don’t you take a look?”

“You should consider your position, don’t you think? With that face and size, you look like a gangster who came to get a seat tax.”

“Isn’t that partly your responsibility?”

“When I stand next to you, I’m very innocent.”

Done-sik picked up two late cards and led Jae-ho inside.

“At first, just do as you’re told. And the starting area is ‘Kruma’. I started there, too, so I can give you a tip.”

“Oh, I’ve done some research, and it’s in the desert. We’re going to have a flower shop, so why start in the desert?”

Jae-ho also did his own research and confirmed that Kruma was actually the most popular area.

However, it had been classified as a “never to go” place.

“That’s where the Newbie preference is the highest. It’s well-equipped. The difficulty level of early quests is easy. First of all, we need to level it to a certain extent so that the florist or whatever…!”

Wan-sik, who had already told the truth, suddenly felt something and grabbed Jae-ho’s shoulder.

“Hey… …if you’re thinking of going to the ‘Luxury Forest,’ you’d rather not play a game.”

“?!!!”

“Looking at you, I was thinking of going there!!!”

Done food exclaimed in astonishment.

“Why are you trying to make it difficult for yourself? That place is famous for its Newbies’ graves!”

Jae-ho has seen it.

-What should I do with the wrong touch to start the Galaxy?

Recommended to die and be reborn.

The last word here, “To die and be reborn,” was not to refer to the initialization of game characters.

New World was fundamentally blocked from fostering wealth and couldn’t be initialized.

So the meaning of “death and rebirth” is…….

“It’s one of the two things that goes out there and is locked up forever, or that breaks hundreds of money and comes out on the back of a ranker! The guy who said he’s going to buy a capsule on his own, he’s going to choose that place? Don’t….”

“Uh-uh-.”

“Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! He’s not pretending to hear this again! You crazy elves there……!”

Listening to the nagging of finished food until the capsule’s lid was covered, Jae-ho began his first connection to New World.

* * *

Immediately after the connection, the first thing to do is customize!

‘Yes……’

Jae-ho sighed looking at another self in front of him.

It is not a mirror that is symmetrical to the left and right, but it is because it is many times more cruel to see oneself from another person’s point of view.

‘But this is still a game.’

It would be much better than reality if you had a moderate hand.

But after hanging on for about half an hour, Jae-ho was able to realize one thing.

“… …disgraceful.”

The customization function is not as omnipotent as I thought.

It was blocked from completely erasing the player’s true self, such as changing his or her gender or changing his or her completely different appearance.

“Whoo…. …but I think it’s pretty much purified.”

Even so, he had no choice but to win a mental victory.

Next is the nickname.

“Um…….”

I already had this in mind.

* * *

Hua-Ah-

The glare disappeared and an ecstatic scene unfolded before my eyes.

“Wow…….”

A burst of exclamation came from Jae-ho’s mouth.

a beautiful scene that can never be seen in real life

A cool forest where colorful flowers and trees sway in the calm wind.

At the same time that it was so unrealistic, it was incredibly realistic.

-Hey, I’m on.

Jae-ho immediately spoke with the whispering code he had received from Wan-sik in advance.

-……Did you really make it ‘Alsia’? Do you really think it’s an ID that goes well with you?

-I don’t want to hear that from the guy who made it “muscle pang”.

-What took you so long anyway?

-Oh, I’ve been doing a little bit of a little bitches.

-That face wouldn’t be much different, would it?

-……thank you very much.

But you’ll be surprised if you meet him in person.

I’ve made it mild.

-So where are you? I’m at Kruma Starting Hall, but I can’t see you.

Jae-ho pretended not to hear it, and ignored it.

-……Hey! You XX!!! Are you a Lixie? Did you just crawl into luxury?!

-Oh, I think there’s a lag here. Server status is…….

-Hey! What’s the lag in New World? Oh! You don’t know when you’ll come out if you do it there!

With the nagging of the finished meal, Jae-ho was able to learn a function faster than he thought.

[Blocking NAME]

“Hua- So…….”

Jae-ho looked around the starting hall area.

As if it were true that it was an unpopular area, there was no sign of anyone else.

No, there was one.

“Hoo-hoo… …there’s another victim. You’re thinking about joining our tank…….”

A beggar with a gloomy atmosphere appeared and talked to Jae-ho.

But as soon as I checked my face, I hesitated and stepped backward.

‘Oh, you said there was an NPC for tutorials on every starting hole.’

Jae-ho approached that beggar thinking he was NPC, but…….

“Excuse…”

“Hee, hee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee!”

He ran away without looking back.

“…….”

I can guess why, but…….

I’ve never run away like that in real life.

“Well… …I don’t care. Because I said here that whatever I do is my freedom.”

There was only one reason Jae-ho started New World anyway.

“Keu……. flower shop…….”

A smile that just imagines.

Paa-a-a-a-a-a.

Then, light came out of the starting hole and the new victim…… No, a player appeared.

But Jae-ho, who was intoxicated by the scenery, had no idea…….

I’m in the Luxury Forest……the NPC here looks so scary that I can’t talk to you. I think it’s a little crazy to giggle alone.ᅮᅮ I came here to live with E.L.F., did I get caught?

What? I think all NPCs on the Galaxy are elf. If you follow the road, you can meet them soon.

But what does that mean? It’s Zojin from the start of the Galaxy.

You picked her yourself? Gura jolly!

About five minutes later, it was posted on the New World community.

* * *

A flower bed that fell everywhere as soon as it came out of the starting hole.

With the place in front of his eyes, Jae-ho drooled.

“Is it heaven?”

Why didn’t we do New World before?

When it comes to games, it’s just a prejudice that it’s all about blood splashing, infinite level-up, and item farming.

If I had given up on that petty preconception earlier, I would have felt this happiness earlier!!

“Ko, the flowers are fine!!!”

One might think he’s a lunatic, but Jae-ho was truly thrilled.

The flowers didn’t bend their heads even though they petted themselves!

“Hum-Hum-Hum-I’m not allergic!!!”

To enjoy the scent so much that flowers are sucked into your nostrils!

As I rolled around the flower bed like such a madman, I had an alert in front of my eyes.

[ Skill acquired.]

Tear-tear-!

Jaeho shut his mouth.

‘You’re so good, aren’t you?!’

In fact, most people would say, ‘What’s this for?’ But not for Jae-ho.

Skills as if they were made for themselves!

Jae-ho was so excited that he checked this and that, and soon after, he was able to get a new reward.

Shaking-

Jae-ho trembled.

“This is it……… This is what I wanted!!”

New World has achieved what is absolutely impossible in reality.

The life that Jae-ho wanted was right here in New World!
