The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 139: Eating Out After A Long Time (2)

Ryu Min and Ryu Won each picked up pieces of meat, placing them on the wrap.

They topped it with garlic, ssamjang (Korean dipping sauce), chili peppers, and sliced scallions in sequence, then wrapped it carefully in a leaf.

Just as they were about to take a big bite,

Bang-!

A loud noise came from a table across.

“F*ck, where’s the manager! Get out here!”

Due to the loud voice, people around who were grilling meat turned their heads to look.

Ryu Min and Ryu Won hesitated before turning their gaze.

“What seems to be the problem?”

“Look at this! There’s hair in the meat! Are you selling this crap to eat?”

The man’s yelling made the manager bow deeply in apology.

It couldn’t be helped.

By looks alone, the man was in his twenties, clearly not an ordinary person but a player.

‘He must be causing a scene because he’s drunk.’

Whether players get drunk or not is another matter.

“I’m sorry, sir. It seems like hair from one of our staff has mistakenly fallen into the meat. We’ll bring you a new set right away.”

Normally, bowing and apologizing would have been enough to calm the situation.

Normally.

But then,

Crash-! Bang!

The table was smashed, and the dishes on it were scattered all over the floor.

The customer, not satisfied, destroyed the table.

“F*cking hell. Do you think just bringing out another piece of meat solves everything? What about my ruined mood? My lost appetite? Aren’t you going to take full responsibility?”

“Sir, destroying property like this…”

“Are you talking back to me? Ha, which restaurant manager dares to talk back to a customer? Especially a lowly civilian like you!”

The man, acting as if he were a noble from medieval times scolding a peasant, changed his demeanor.

Ssshh-

As a chilling axe appeared in his hand, the manager realized the seriousness of the situation.

This customer was no ordinary troublemaker.

As if he truly became a peasant, the manager begged with both hands clasped.

“I’m very sorry, sir. We truly didn’t mean to upset you.”

“Sorry? Is that all? Shouldn’t there be compensation?”

“What kind of compensation would you like…”

The man immediately made a circle with his thumb and index finger.

“Give me all your money.”

“How much exactly…”

Crack-!

Another table was shattered with a kick.

“F*ck, didn’t I tell you? Bring out all you have.”

“Alright, I understand.”

While the manager went to fetch money, the man glared around with his axe, intimidating those nearby.

“What are you looking at, f*ckers? Done watching?”

Only after he snarled did the onlookers reluctantly turn away.

Most of the people in the restaurant were civilians over 30.

None had the courage or strength to confront a player.

-Crazy, what’s with that guy? A player?

-So it’s true that all players are potential criminals.

-Damn, we better eat quickly and leave before we get involved.

As Ryu Min read the thoughts of the guests, his sibling voiced concern.

“Brother, why is that man behaving like that?”

“Why? He’s intentionally causing trouble to legally extort money.”

“Why do players act like that? Can’t they just earn money by working?”

“They don’t have time for that. This month might be their last, who would bother working part-time when looting is so much easier?”

That was why players raided street vendors.

Because they were at a dead end.

Because it was an easy way to make money.

“But I thought things like that would decrease after the implementation of the player law. Seems I was wrong. To brazenly cause such a scene. We really need the player forces to be active soon…”

While saying this, Ryu Min was busy with his system.

“What are you doing, Hyung?”

“Just adjusting some settings.”

Touching the air to configure his equipment to two tiers lower, Ryu Min uttered the activation word.

Ssshh-

“Why are you equipping yourself all of a sudden?”

“It seems I’m the only player among the customers. I can’t just stand by.”

As Ryu Min stood up, his young brother urgently stopped him.

“Hyung, it’s dangerous! Just stay put.”

“Leaving him be is more dangerous.”

With a quick “I’ll be right back,” Ryu Min approached the man.

He had changed his gear to regular rank, so there was no reason to be the meantime, the manager returned with a bundle of cash.

“Manager. What took you so long? Don’t tell me you called the police.”

“Of course not. How could I? Anyway, here…”

“What’s this?”

The man frowned as he took the cash.

“This is all you have?”

The cash the manager brought was merely 200,000 won.

For a booming restaurant expected to make at least a million won a day, this was hardly satisfactory.

“F*ck, you think you’re playing with me? Who are you giving this 200,000 won to!”

“Nowadays, we mostly deal with card payments, so there isn’t much cash. It’s true!”

“Then call out your account, and transfer ten million won to me.”

“Ten million won?”

“Why are you surprised? For emotional distress, ten million won is quite cheap, right? What? Is it too little? Should I raise it?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Then do as I say while I’m being nice. You have your phone, right? Transfer it right in front of me now.”

“I, I don’t have that kind of money in my account…”

“You’re lying now? Do you think I’m easy to fool? You think I’m a joke? Huh?”

As the man menacingly raised his axe,

Tap-!

Ryu Min grabbed the man’s wrist.

“Let’s stop this now.”

“Who the f*ck are you?”

Ryu Min tightened his grip.

“Just a customer who was quietly grilling meat in the corner.”

The man felt the immense strength from his gripped wrist.

Perhaps enough to not break it, but it was a calculated measure.

“You shouldn’t cause such a disturbance. It’s so noisy, you might hurt someone.”

“Let go of my hand, you bastard!”

“Will you stop making a scene if I let go?”

“Fine, fine. Just let go already!”

As pressure was applied as if to almost break it, the man’s expression became desperate.

Of course, Ryu Min had no intention of actually breaking the man’s wrist.

He merely intended to intimidate and drive him away.

However, that was just Ryu Min’s wish.

Reading the man’s thoughts revealed he had no intention of leaving quietly.

“Let go, f*cking bastard!”

“Even if I let go, you’re not planning to leave quietly, are you?”

“So what? What are you going to do about it!”

“We’ll just have to wait for the police to come, then.”

“What? Police? This f*cking guy is asking for it!”

Suddenly, the man grabbed another axe with his free hand.

Turns out, he was a dual-axe-wielding gladiator.

“Just die, you f*cking bastard!”

As he swung the axe aiming for the head,

‘Huh? A shield?’

Ryu Min noticed a shield materializing in front of him.

Clang-

The ax bounced off the shield.

Ryu Min released the man’s wrist and turned his head.

A familiar woman appeared, leading a fairy.

She was none other than Seo Arin.
