Episode 129 Buff (1)
* * *
Around that time.
All people who could contact Kang-hoo had received messages from him.
The content was a link to the Eclipse official website that Kang-hoo showed to Park Dong-jae.
Yuri Jeong, who was meeting Master K at the time, also received a message from him.
“The hunter who killed Cha So-hee was Seongyu’s oppa? “No, should I call you Kang-hoo oppa now…?”
“Jin Hyo-young had some activities until recently. Looks like he died recently. “He was a clever guy.”
“Grandfather, why did Eclipse reveal this information?”
“Isn’t it too obvious? Seongyu, no, the young man Kanghu gave Kang Dong-hyun a blow. “Isn’t this a list of people to be killed out of anger?”
“I heard that they are both skilled enough to be called Kang Dong-hyun’s hunting dogs.”
“I think I understand why you’ve been using a pseudonym. Coming from a concentration camp… I can’t believe I escaped from that cruel place. “You are not an ordinary young man.”
“I think my real name fits my older brother’s image better. “The name Seongyu seemed a bit naive.”
“Anyway, young man Kanghu must have a bit of a headache. “There’s nothing good about being involved with Eclipse.”
“If you think the other way around, wouldn’t it be annoying from Eclipse’s perspective?”
He nodded at Jeong Yu-ri’s words. That is correct. Because it is an organization that has a lot to protect.
“Anyway, the fact that two hunting dogs died means that Kang Dong-hyun was so angry.”
“That’s right.”
“Because Eclipse has so many enemies, it will do more harm than good. Especially considering the skills of young Kanghu.”
K laughed.
If you were to guess based on Kang-hoo’s skills, which he heard through Jeong Yu-ri and observed through his own eyes,
It would be difficult to kill Kang Hu unless a much higher level executive or Kang Dong-Hyeon stepped forward.
Maybe he didn’t want to be involved in troublesome matters, so he gave the order to kill him like that.
Then, the ‘lower ones’ will automatically target Ganghu. It saves you trouble and wasted time.
“I don’t know for sure, but Cha So-hee and Jin Hyo-young would all be hunters with levels over 200.”
“Level is not everything.”
“Oppa Kanghu is really great too, isn’t he?”
“okay. “I guess that’s why I pulled you out of Ground Zero and brought you outside like this.”
“that’s right. Ho Ho.”
“Let’s watch. If Young Kanghu needs help, he will ask for it directly, but if not, he will do it on his own.”
“I think so too.”
“There is no need to meddle presumptuously. “He must be someone who is used to taking care of things on his own.”
“Your grandfather.”
“Let’s eat.”

“Sehyuk oppa. “You knew, right?”
“what?”
“Seongyu oppa had this kind of relationship with Eclipse.”
“Understand. “But there was no need to say it publicly, so I was the only one who knew.”
“Everyone was curious. “I’m sure Cha So-hee is dead, but I don’t know who killed her.”
At that time, Ban Se-young and Jeon Se-hyuk were also talking.
Visiting Eclipse’s official website was part of the couple’s daily routine for a long time.
I couldn’t help but see the order to kill Kang Hu clearly displayed on the main screen.
Ban Se-young was surprised.
This was even more so because, unlike K or Jeong Yu-ri, who only vaguely guessed the level, she knew Kang-hu’s level exactly.
If you look at simple numbers, you killed two hunters whose levels were more than twice as different.
No, considering the time when Cha So-hee died, the difference can be estimated at 3 to 4 times.
“I told you. “I think it would be good to continue building a relationship with Kang-hoo in the future.”
“I knew he would eat it all by himself, but I didn’t know he would even beat his hunting dog like that…” “
Seeing that Jin Hyo-yeong is dead. “It seems like Kang Dong-hyun tried to seduce Kang Hoo into the beauty world.”
“Kang Dong-hyun, you coward! “Why are you trying to kidnap me by seducing me as a woman because you can’t do that if you just fight on your own?”
“He’s basically that kind of guy. “Even with me, we’ve never really gotten along.”
Jeon Se-hyuk frowned.
It seemed like it went well.
So is Jeon Se-hyuk and Park Dong-jae. All of my connections were people who would get excited about Eclipse.
Rather, now that you can form psychological empathy with them, your relationship will become much closer.
Considering Kang-hoo’s skills, I also thought that it was Kang Dong-hyun, not Kang-hu, who would suffer in the future.
It’s like putting a lump on it that’s hard to take off.
It’s like a malignant tumor that causes more and more pain the longer it is attached.
“Anyway, Kanghu oppa is really scary. I got to see it again. “I knew he was a scary person from the beginning, but…”
“Kang Dong-hyun was probably trying to take him in and use him somehow. “And then it happened like that.”
“I guess so. If your skills are as good as Kanghu’s, it’s worth coveting. At least I also desperately want to be a team player…”
“Hey, don’t be like that. Not long ago, didn’t we say that my cousin was the best? “Seyoung.”
“Now the era of Jeon Se-hyuk is over. It’s the era of Shin Kang-hu. Ho ho ho.”
While they were joking, although they did not express it more clearly, their valuation of Kang-hoo increased.
It may have been a notice intended to show the resolute will to designate and punish Kang Dong-hyun as a public figure of the organization.
In the eyes of people who knew Kang-hu, it actually seemed like it was raising Kang-hu’s ransom.
In that case, a mercenary request may be sent from a place that disapproves of Eclipse.
For some reason, Jeon Se-hyuk felt like Kang-hoo was playing on top of Kang Dong-hyun.
“Tsk.”
So I laughed.
I think it will be more fun in the future.
* * *
Kanghu asked Dongjae Park as he entered the dungeon.
“Can you tell me who the hunters who went to the dungeon just before were?”
“Uh, that’s it…”
Park Dong-jae was still in a daze, reflecting on the notice posted on Eclipse.
However, Kanghu continued his normal conversation as if he didn’t think anything of it.
“You seem to be concerned about the notice from earlier. Cha So-hee and Jin Hyo-young tried to drag me to Eclipse somehow. “They were trying to kidnap me.”
“No, it’s not like that. I know full well that those two are trash! I just can’t believe that my brother killed him. They’re all trained hunters. “It must have been a difficult enemy.”
“Wouldn’t it be easier to understand if you thought that I had just as much training and preparation?”
“ah! “Well… that’s right!”
“Pride is something you give yourself.”
“huh? “Whose quote is this?”
“Please study until next time we meet. Anyway, nothing changes. “Only the name you call me has changed.”
When Kang-hoo tapped Park Dong-jae on the shoulder, he came to his senses and remembered Kang-hoo’s question.
“ah! There are two hunters, Sehyuk hyung and I got to know through Sehyuk hyung. “I also went with Baek Seong-ho and Jang Seon-young.”
“Are you referring to the two hunters in the famous guild?”
“that’s right! “Do you know anything?”
“I don’t know him personally, but I know his name. “You’ve worked with some pretty high-ranking people.”
“There are a lot of people looking for me.”
“I know.”
It certainly seems like Park Dong-jae has talent.
The famous guild is a small group of elite hunters who are level 450 or higher.
It is a guild made up of hunters who are skilled in various fields.
Although they did not have a separate base, their scope of activity was nationwide as they were all wealthy.
There were many dungeons they owned, and there were quite a few guilds and organizations requesting collaboration with them.
If Park Dong-jae is called out separately in such a place, there is no need to doubt his skills.
“Hyung, how do we keep our hands and feet together?”
“Is there really a need to take the time to adjust? “Trust your senses.”
“What does that mean?”
“Because I can check the status window when the buff has been applied. “I will fight accordingly.”
“…Is that possible? If you want to be sure about the buff calculation, wouldn’t it be better to hear it from Buffer?”
“Checking the status window is a daily routine for me every moment.”
Kanghu shrugged his shoulders.
When playing games.
Kang-hoo always checked his status as if he was meticulously playing the map by looking at the mini-map.
It wasn’t difficult either.
All you have to do is just give it a quick glance.
Anyway, it had become a daily routine, so it was nothing new to Kanghu.
However, Hunter, who was not used to this, used the method that Park Dong-jae just mentioned.
The buffer notifies you.
For example, ’30 seconds left for acceleration buff!’ ‘Acceleration buff 15 seconds left!’ Something like this.
It is comfortable only from a listening perspective.
However, from the speaking buffer’s point of view, it is quite annoying as it has to constantly report the status of all buffs.
“brother. If this happens, if I start buffing like crazy, my brother might get completely screwed. Are you really okay?”
“Then try to twist it. “For every twist you make, I’ll give you a magic stone.”
“What color… ah! “You have to tell me the color, bro!”
Kang-hoo intentionally(?) stepped out of his spot and went forward. It was Kang-hu’s own joke.
Park Dong-jae also had no intention of being greedy, even though he came to this dungeon with a grateful heart towards Kang-hu.
Park Dong-jae considers it a sin to even think like that.
He planned to repay the debt he owed to Ganghu with his life in this way.
On the other hand, I was also curious to find out what kind of person he was. It is clear that he is a skilled hunter.
Next moment.
“Ugh! “It’s amazing.”
The buff was immediately applied to Ganghu.
At that moment, like Park Dong-jae said, my foot almost got twisted. This is because the acceleration was very fast.
It was twice as effective as Kanghu’s acceleration skill.
【Running Instinct – 55 seconds】
‘It’s long.’
The buff retention time is quite long.
Usually, the default buff retention time for buffers acquired by acquiring basic buff skills or using a skill book was 20 seconds.
Here, it was only possible to increase retention time by increasing proficiency.
At that level, it is highly likely that you have reached maximum proficiency or close to it. This means that it must have been used tens of thousands of times.
and.
Faaah!
Concentration on visual information has increased, as if a completely new perspective on the world has been opened.
This too was a buff.
【Mental concentration – 53 seconds】
【Strategy control – 39 seconds】
Mental concentration greatly increases the acceptance of visual information entering the field of view.
Strategic control excludes useless information, such as insignificant pebbles on the floor.
In short, it is a buff that allows you to clearly see only what you need to see, and I can definitely feel it.
When I took Mad Solakium, I felt like I was experiencing a time when the world looked different.
‘You’re crazy.’
I was filled with admiration.
Park Dong-jae is still a growing buffer and a hunter with plenty of level left to grow, just like Kang-hu himself.
If I can still say I’m crazy, there’s no need to talk about it later.
Right then.
Park Dong-jae’s voice filled with exhilaration was heard from behind.
“How are you? The buff tastes bad, right? Everyone is looking for me because of this taste? how is it? “Aren’t your hands itching?”
Then Kang-hoo grinned and shouted at Park Dong-jae.
“Okay, let’s die together!”
Park Dong-jae should have known then.
If you add wings to a running horse, what happens to the person following the horse?… With
wings properly installed, Kang-hu’s rampage began from then on.
