Episode 145: Ulleungdo (5)
Since she had judged the characteristics of the item without even looking at the options, there was no reason to hide it.
Kanghu asked.
“How did you know?”
“I can see it with my eyes.”
Kim Shin-ryeong answered briefly. Those words were enough of an answer.
Kang-hu can see the information of the other constellation because he can see it with his own eyes.
Kim Shin-ryeong has contracts with more than ten constellations. Her level is over 500 at best.
Then, it was no wonder that she, who specialized in crafting and disassembly, could see through the essence of items.
The only thing that is questionable is.
The weapons he could feed would be that expensive, so why invest in himself?
Don’t you lack motivation to burn expensive weapons just because you like them at first glance?
Or are they just trying to show off by giving them the lowest quality item?
When Kang-hoo’s eyes seemed to deepen into another meaning, Kim Shin-ryeong snorted and said.
“Are you saying that because you’re worried that I might throw away trash items that you don’t need?”
“I don’t think there is a good reason for that.”
“ruler. See for yourself. Even so, a suspicious person like you will feel relieved when he sees it with his own eyes.”
Kim Shin-ryeong carelessly threw the dagger at Kang Hu. Ganghu, who received the dagger, immediately checked the options.
However, unlike typical items, this item had its distinctive features from the beginning.
【Tranquility – Weapon】
【Grade: Level 7】
【The weapon has been damaged for an unknown reason and cannot benefit from existing options when worn.】
【Strength +35】【Not applicable】
There was a warning.
Although the stat option exists, it is not activated.
Ganghu temporarily removed his existing dagger and tried wearing this one, but there was no change in his stats.
This does not mean that the phenomenon of items becoming like this did not exist in the original work.
However, because the focus was only on Jang Si-hwan’s growth, Jang Si-hwan’s items did not turn out like that.
okay. The main character was Bo Jeong. It was the greed of the original author who did not want to incur even the slightest loss.
Anyway, there is a destroyed item in front of you now. It is an item that has lost its value.
“It’s a destroyed item.”
“that’s right. It has no meaning if a hunter wears it. Because the stats don’t change. “It’s trash.”
“ah…!”
At that time, Kang-hu exclaimed at a flash of thought.
It is true that wearing it has no meaning. But ‘feeding’ has meaning.
This is because you will not see benefits only if you wear it, but in other cases, the story may be different.
It was a blind spot in the setting.
“Do you understand now? “I have more of these items than you might think.”
“….”
I’m intrigued.
Since it was an item that had lost its value to the average hunter, it would have been thrown away or disposed of cheaply.
However, Kim Shin-ryeong seemed to have been collecting such items for some reason. I don’t know the exact reason.
“As long as you cooperate with me, I can give you high-level items for free. “For 0 won.”
“That kind of appeals to me.”
“right? “Aren’t you interested?”
“yes.”
“Wouldn’t it be a waste to pay for it yourself and try to feed it? But it feels good to get free food.”
“Do you want to cooperate now?”
“no. Not now. First, let’s just exchange contact information. “If necessary, I will contact you directly.”
“I also have a busy schedule, so I may not be able to take the time I want. “We need your understanding.”
“Who said anything? I’m talking about coordinating and meeting. don’t worry. “I’m not calling you to abuse my power.”
A pretty interesting issue arose.
I don’t know what dagger item she is trying to give me.
However, if you hand over a high-level destroyed item, that many stats will be added to the dagger.
As she said, it is true that it would be a waste to buy and feed them at full price.
However, if he got it for free and fed it, it was a business with nothing to lose from Ganghu’s perspective.
Of course, it remains to be seen in what form she will need his help.
I also had the intention of breaking the game if I felt like I was being too pushy.
Because the type of transaction where one is dragged into a relationship is the type that Kang-hoo hates the most.
That’s how the short and intense meeting with Kim Shin-ryeong ended.
As soon as the transaction was over, she suddenly disappeared into her room in the basement of the villa.
I left without looking back, leaving a short goodbye and saying, “See you next time.”
In another sense, he was a person with true character.
* * *
As soon as I left Kim Shin-ryeong’s villa and entered the city, I said goodbye to Moon Hyeong-seo.
This is because Kang Hu was planning to sleep in a safe hotel set up on Ulleungdo, and Moon Hyeong-seo was not.
Because Ulleungdo has so many visitors, there are boats at night, although it is a bit dangerous.
Of course, the boat fare is a bit expensive because the boat is larger than expected in case of an accident.
Unlike before, Moon Hyeong-seo was always polite and courteous, and she did not lose that attitude even when they parted ways.
“I was very impressed today. Kim Shin-ryeong was also very impressed.”
“I see. “It was worth it.”
Kanghu nodded with satisfaction. Because I passed the trap section without a single scratch.
“It made me think a lot. “It was also an inspiration.”
“If that were the case, I would be happy.”
“If it’s okay with you…”
“Yes.”
“Can we spar next time? “I also want to refine my methods of dealing with assassins.”
“I also have little experience dealing with the spear world. “It seems like a sparring match that will help each other.”
“Yes, I would like to make a request.”
“good. Next time we see Master K, let’s lay some groundwork then. “Is there a place?”
“of course. “The equipment for sparring is also well prepared.”
“okay. “Let’s do that.”
“I have taken over the colorless amulet, so the Master will contact you directly when it is ready.”
“Be careful and go.”
“yes. “I will tell the master so he can contact you as soon as possible.”
“thanks for your effort.”
That’s how I broke up with Moon Hyeong-seo.
There was still quite a bit of time left before daybreak.
However, my mind was too clear to take advantage of the night’s energy to sleep.
It seemed like the tension that had built up while experiencing the numerous traps at the villa had not yet resolved.
at that time.
“That’s it for today.”
Kang-hoo, who happened to see a convenience store in sight, nodded.
Butter-grilled squid with canned beer. Today, for some reason, I felt like this combination would have a sweet taste that would stick in my mouth.

1 hour later.
“Japan is not on standby yet. “It would be better to look at the White War thoroughly now.”
Kang-hu, who enjoyed a late-night snack alone at the hotel, was looking over the plans he had made one by one.
We want to move quickly to Japan, but it is being delayed due to local circumstances.
Since it was not a problem here because Kang-hu wanted to hurry, we decided to wait comfortably.
The White War is now in its infancy stage and is very heated.
More than 90% of mercenary requests are concentrated on battlefields where bloody battles are taking place.
It is true that it is a perfect environment for a hot pot, but if you are unlucky, it is also a good idea to die as soon as you start.
In the first place, running wild in a dog fight scene was not something that Kang-hu liked very much.
This is because you never know when and where a blind attack will come. Funnily enough, death also becomes an element of fortune or misfortune.
“Going to France now to meet Emilia is a bit unexpected. “The weight class is too low.”
It is too early to go to France.
Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group and Guru’s guild also feel a bit of a burden to suddenly increase skinship.
This is because if you show the appearance of attacking first, it will be difficult to occupy an advantageous high point.
“Park Dong-jae. Jeon Se-hyuk. Ban Se-young. I feel like this line is getting closer now. There is no problem with Lee Ye-rin, Yoon Sang-mi, and Jeong Yu-ri.”
The number of useful connections is increasing. Of course, the number of bad relationships is also increasing.
Originally, they only had a relationship with Kang Dong-hyun’s Eclipse, but one more was recently added.
This is Russia’s Kashmar Guild.
You never know when and in what form these guys might show their backs. Of course, I have no intention of giving up on that.
“okay. “There was Lee Hyun-seok.”
At that time, a name that had been pushed to the back of my mind as I had had very little contact with it recently came to mind.
This is Lee Hyun-seok.
He saved his nephew Min Soo-hyun and still kept the blood certificate and personal number he received from him.
The justification at the time was to have tea time.
Lee Hyun-seok would not have taken it literally. I’m not that clueless.
Considering the number and composition of dungeons in Lee Hyun-seok’s ‘Abyss’, there was no other option as good as this in Korea.
The timing was also good.
On the contrary, if it is delayed too much, the feeling of gratitude for saving Min Soo-hyun may be diluted.
Now is the right time to ventilate those feelings, lift them up, and show condescension.
In addition, the value of the name has recently risen due to the issue of Kang Dong-hyun’s extermination order, so it is naturally appealing.
“Next is the abyss.”
I decided on my next destination.
Now it seems that it is time to make Lee Hyun-seok repay the debt he owes her.
* * *
That time.
Even though it was early in the morning, Lee Hyun-seok was busy checking information with his eyes fixed on the monitor.
Because we were collecting so much information, it took quite some time just to check it.
For this part, he could have had his intelligence team or a trusted subordinate do it… but
it was absolutely impossible due to Lee Hyun-seok’s personality of being able to understand only when he sees it in person.
Next to Lee Hyun-seok was Min Soo-hyun, dozing off with her long pink hair roughly tied up.
“Suhyun. “Soo-hyeon.”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…? “Uncle, why?”
“Look at this. As expected, my prediction was correct. Kim Dae-man, you bastard. “There was a connection with the Casmar Guild.”
“So…?”
“What’s wrong! “It’s evidence that there is a secret deal between the Purification Guild and the Kashimar Guild.”
“Haaam….”
“Yes, it was a mistake to tell you. Hurry up and go to sleep. “Starting tomorrow, take a good rest at home.”
“Ouch uncle!”
The phrase “stay well at home” has several meanings.
This meant that as much as I rested at home, I would also rest with support and assistance from the abyss level. It means to quit.
Min Soo-hyun, aware of the cold atmosphere, suddenly began to raise the tension.
“Yes, that’s right! “My uncle said that the Purification Guild might have some connection with the Kashmar Guild!”
“done. Go in. “My heart has already become cold.”
“Samchoooooon!”
“That’s it. For now… um?”
at that time.
The smartphone that Hyunseok Lee had stored at the top of his desk drawer began to ring.
This means that the call is from a number numbered 1. In other words, it was a call from Kang Hu.
I thought I hadn’t heard much about it for a while, but it looks like I’ve finally decided to have tea time.
The call was even more welcome because it was Lee Hyun-seok, who was aware of Kang-hoo’s recent issues related to Eclipse.
This is because Abyss had a very bad relationship with Eclipse as well as with the Purification Guild.
Although there was no open antagonism, there were already countless clashes taking place.
Looking forward to your contact.
Lee Hyun-seok immediately took out his smartphone and answered Kang-hu’s call.
“This is Lee Hyun-seok. I was waiting for a call from the benefactor who saved my nephew Su-hyeon. Nice to meet you.”
Lee Hyun-seok’s comment is full of gratitude from the beginning.
For Kang-hoo, who made the call, it was the start of a pleasant call.
It seemed like things were going well.
