The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 132

Episode 132 Jeju Island (1)

* * *

Killing Roche.

After finishing collecting the magic stones and loot, Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae came out of the dungeon and headed toward the city.

This is because Kang-hoo has booked a hotel in downtown Gyeongju and Park Dong-jae also has to go downtown.

I sold all the items I had at the market along the way.

I sold everything I got from the dungeon this time, starting with the incidental things I couldn’t sell before.

A balance of approximately 5 billion won was secured. It was disappointing to think about the balance, which at one time exceeded 100 billion won.

The level is 110.

I really liked the rise.

In fact, this was also the way Named grew.

This is the process of rapid growth while monopolizing experience or maintaining minimum distribution.

Many names, including Thirteen Stars, followed this route to the point where it can almost be said to be standard.

From the perspective of Kanghu, a latecomer, he must be more diligent as he has to catch up more broadly and quickly than them.

While Park Dong-jae sells some items at the market and gets what he needs.

Ganghu was examining the skills he had stolen after killing the boss monster Roche. This is a fairly important skill.

【Selfish Addiction】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]

【Specify one buff skill applied to you to increase the effectiveness of that buff by 300%.】

Roche used this to selfishly indulge in acceleration. That’s why the speed was so incredible that even Kang-hu thought he missed it.

The same goes for what Ganghu is aiming for.

What if Park Dong-jae’s acceleration buff and selfish addiction are added to his existing acceleration skills?

Incredibly crazy speeds will become possible.

Of course, there is one premise. The body has to endure. If you can’t endure it, it’s better than not using it.

In any case, whether it can be used even if it takes too much effort or whether it is completely impossible is a completely different question.

In addition, there are many buffs that can increase efficiency even if they are not just acceleration.

You can maximize stamina recovery and dramatically reduce skill cooldowns.

‘The skill of selfish indulgence itself is a fraud. It was given as a trait because it was exclusive to bosses, but since it can be taken away with the Dimension Stealer trait, it feels like a loss of balance.’

Kang Hu smiled slightly.

The moderate amount of detail in the original work is of great help.

What if we hadn’t created this skill for Roche in order to maintain balance.

Ganghu would never have benefited like he does now.

‘I feel a bit bitter all of a sudden.’

The faint smile soon turned into a bitter smile.

This is because there are many times when I live and breathe in this world and feel the gaps in the original work again.

This may be welcome from Shin Kang-hoo’s perspective, but was the author really sincere about the novel? I think so.

‘At that time, I was intoxicated by the unexpected popularity and some of my thoughts were too loose.’

At that time, I thought that readers would cheer me on no matter what I wrote, even if the content was a bit weak.

The same goes for the minor character ending. Rather, I thought readers would applaud the novel ending.

‘Readers wanted a happy ending. The writer wanted the reader to write more sincerely than anyone else. I was just drunk with other thoughts. Arrogantly.’

Although it was already a story from his past life, Kang-hu decided to learn a lesson from that as well.

This is because it is a story that can be fully applied to your current situation.

If you are satisfied with your current abilities and think loosely, you will be eaten by the darkness of this world at any time.

This moment.

As soon as Jang Si-hwan appears in front of him, he dies.

Even if you are very, very lucky and manage to kill Jang Si-hwan, it will be difficult for you to avoid death as well.

The minimum expectation is ‘death’. The maximum is to face the humiliation of dying as even the body disappears without a trace.

anyway.

Thanks to selfish indulgence, there is now a way to maximize Park Dong-jae’s buffs in the future.

Once you have your own buff skill, you can use it in conjunction with it.

This Roche strategy was truly meaningful. Moreover, it was even more meaningful because it was a dungeon owned by Ganghu.

At that time, Park Dong-jae, who had finished selling and purchasing, spoke to Kang-hoo.

“brother! “You’ve been waiting a long time, right?”

“no. I was checking the level and experience status. “It came out just right.”

“Hyung, what level are you now?”

“110.”

“It’s a number that can be considered a lie no matter who hears it. “Honestly, if I told you it was 310, would you believe it?”

“It’s good lip service.”

“No, that’s really true. “Brother, you know that there are more than one high-level hunter I have worked with.”

I’m not bluffing.

Park Dong-jae was a buffer worth seeking out for high-level hunters.

Kang-hoo also felt it while putting the sum together this time. Park Dong-jae: This guy is Jin-guk.

“Okay, recite it.”

Kang-hoo crossed his arms and watched Park Dong-jae with a curious expression. What kind of praise should I give?

“Not about my brother. When you receive a buff, immediately change your battle concept to match it. “If it’s acceleration, then it’s a mobile battle.”

“If you are focused, go towards avoiding the enemy’s attacks and letting them go.”

“That’s right! That’s it. “By making moves that maximize the effectiveness of the buff, the firepower becomes better.”

“It looks like it’s not another hunter, right?”

“Nine times out of ten, they just tell me to do the buff shuttle. I’m going to taste it with a buff. “That’s good form.”

“I don’t think it’s a fighting form.”

“There are more hunters who are overly immersed in what they can see than you think. “I don’t even want to worry about complicated buffs.”

“You’re eating me too much.”

“I know yeah.”

Park Dong-jae sighed.

In that sense, Kanghu allowed himself to think creatively rather than simply use the buff shuttle.

It reminded me of the fact that I was a ‘buffer’, something I had forgotten because it was so obvious.

Some people may ask why it has such meaning.

At least Kang-hoo was the first outsider who saw Park Dong-jae’s true worth.

“In a battle steeped in inertia, an accident is bound to happen at some point. “I don’t want that kind of battle.”

“so! “I thought I should prioritize contact with my brother for the time being.”

“Anytime, as long as there is a dungeon to go to.”

“don’t worry. I have a wider network than I thought. “If you compromise well, you may be able to visit other people’s dungeons.”

“Can I take care of that?”

“Compared to the price of my brother’s life saving me, it’s a lot cheaper. Leave it to me!”

Kanghu also burst into laughter at the sight of Park Dong-jae making an appeal by pounding his insignificant(?) chest.

Naive. Are there times when I feel foolish and cruel?

Park Dong-jae clearly had the same untainted innocence as Jeong Yuri.

* * *

I broke up with Park Dong-jae that way.

Originally, I was thinking of coming to a hotel downtown and having a refreshing cocktail.

Jeon Se-hyuk and Ban Se-young urgently called Park Dong-jae. It looks like they have their own schedule for conquering the dungeon.

So, as soon as I entered the hotel, I took a half-bath and watched Hunter News on the TV in the bathroom.

As expected, today’s breaking news was full of issues related to pharmaceutical companies.

This time it wasn’t an explosion.

The story was that a key senior researcher at Jeondong Pharmaceuticals was killed in an ambush while moving to a safe house.

“This is an insider.”

It is a 100% collaboration with insiders.

Someone in the car carrying the chief researcher or the car guarding him must have leaked the information.

The Hunter Security Agency issued official statements day after day, calling for an end to reckless acts of terrorism and saying that hunters who kidnap and kill researchers will be severely punished.

Unfortunately, there is no outlaw who would be scared by the trivial roar of a paper tiger. It’s just a side dish.

at that time.

I received a call from Yerin Lee.

“yes.”

– Seongyu! No, now you can call me Mr. Shin Kang-hoo, right?

“Just do whatever you feel comfortable with. “I can understand, as long as you don’t get confused.”

Since Kang-hu had already told his acquaintances about his real name, their reactions were not surprising.

Kang-hu added, thinking about what might happen.

“But they said they would put on hold requests related to pharmaceutical cases.”

– ah! Everything has already been delayed. You don’t have to worry about that.

“then?”

– It wasn’t a pharmaceutical company-related case, but a completely different type of mercenary request came in.

“What is it?”

– This is a request from the raid team to rescue a bleeding dealer. They say all you have to do is keep the bleeding steady.

“What about compensation?”

– Starting KRW 5 billion, balance KRW 5 billion. And one top choice for drop items from boss monsters.

“hmm.”

It’s an attractive offer.

Of course, that is the initial judgment and we need to hear more details.

– The level of the dungeon is 350 to 400. There are a total of 9 people in the raid group and we are looking for one more spot.

“Can you disclose the location of the request?”

– yes. This is Jeju Island’s Guru Guild. You know? A guild that holds a tight grip on Jeju Island.

“of course.”

Ganghu nodded.

Guru Guild.

This guild monopolizes all interests in Jeju Island and is famous for having members of various nationalities.

What is unique is that it is a guild that publicly declared ‘complete neutrality.’

For that reason, I wasn’t cooperative with the Purification Guild, but I wasn’t uncooperative either.

At the same time, being a member of the Jeonghwa guild did not provide any preferential treatment, such as a free pass for activities in the province.

In other words, it was a structure in which all outsiders, unless they were members of the Guru guild, were treated with the same standards.

For that reason, in the original work, the protagonist Jang Si-hwan and the Guru Guild did not have much to do with each other.

This is because I had no ill feelings or good feelings towards Jang Si-hwan. I had no interest in anything outside of Jeju Island.

– how is it? Aren’t you a bit interested? If it’s bleeding rather than damage dealing, I think there will be no problem if it’s at Kang-hoo’s level right now. call?

“for a moment.”

Kang Hoo put the brakes on the flow that almost got caught up in Lee Ye-rin’s unique fast pace.

It is true that it is a good condition, but the story is resolved too easily.

First of all, aside from the fact that the dungeon level is high, there is a recent issue of a severe shortage of mercenaries.

Moreover, giving up the top choice for the boss monster’s drop item means that

the dungeon itself is difficult.

The ransom price has risen due to a shortage of mercenaries, but is it high enough to match the level of the dungeon that the mercenary must go to?

The negotiating table needs to be reorganized.

Kanghu continued.

“We adjust the conditions. Double the starting balance each. The middle boss will also receive priority.”

– Bff….

Lee Ye-rin was about to say something, but a gasping sound was heard as if she had managed to cover her mouth.
