The Handsomer You Are, the Stronger You Become

"Got it."@@novelbin@@

"Success, Master!!"

Kang Hyunsoo smirked as he looked at the scattered loot on the ground and the Sword Emperor Quest notification on his interface.

As expected, the Golden Goblin had never been defeated in this dungeon before.

Well, getting intel on this guy in the first place isn’t easy.

Information about the Golden Goblin was first uncovered in an SS-rank dungeon in China.

To even start the questline, one had to:

1. Obtain the Sword King title.
2. Encounter a sword-wielding boss monster in a Korean SS-rank dungeon.
3. Verify rumors through hunter networks that an identical sword-wielding boss existed in an SS-rank dungeon in Beijing.
4. Fly to China, clear the dungeon, and finally receive a quest directing them to the Golden Goblin in a dungeon on Mount Fuji, Japan.

It required traveling through three countries and already having the Sword King title to even discover the clue.

And even then, the system never marked the exact dungeon location.

With over 100 dungeons on Mount Fuji alone, a hunter would have to search them one by one.

That was why, in his previous life, it had taken him over two months to find it.

Seo Jieun and Choi Taehun hadn’t helped, making excuses about being busy since it wasn’t their title quest.

Hyunsoo had to complete the entire process alone.

But this time?

It had barely taken any effort—all thanks to the experience from his past life.

The castle gate remained open, preventing enemy reinforcements from being summoned. Yuhana and Jin Seoyun were guarding the mechanism well.

“The hidden piece dropped too, Master! It’s here among the gold coins!”
