The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 164

Episode 164: Distortion Awakening (1)

Anyway, the stats I obtained randomly were 1 mana, 5 agility, respectively.

When the information related to mana appeared, Ganghu was startled.

This is because if your mana exceeds 50, you will not be able to see the Age of Savagery effect.

If that happened, Ganghu’s mana utilization plan would be ruined, so he had to be on guard.

Since it only went up by 1, there is still 29 left to go until 50.

However, in the future, there will be instances where you will gain murder stats like this through the vile priest constellation.

Even though it was a probability, it would be difficult if the mana kept rising by chance.

If something like that smells(?), I’m thinking seriously about terminating the contract with the Constellation.

After finishing the twisted battle with the little brats.

Kang Hu leisurely left the scene.

It may have been absurd and unexpected from the perspective of the dead people.

For Kang-hoo, it was just a slightly special daily routine. Their level was exactly like that.

* * *

An open space.

While I was getting some fresh air to cool down my body temperature, which had risen slightly from the battle, I received a phone call.

The sender was Ahn Young-ho.

“Oh, Youngho.”

– older brother. First of all, the list is complete. Completely organized!

“okay? “I heard on the news I saw a few hours ago that an all-out war had intensified?”

– The situation hasn’t been resolved yet. I am ready to support my brother.

“Did it happen as I asked?”

– yes. The guild took care to ensure that everything met my brother’s request.

“As expected, it’s Ricou’s guild.”

Kanghu smiled.

If the dungeons are listed the way you want, you will be farming mainly in the dark ages in Japan.

This is because a dungeon with undead characteristics was requested to allow that to happen. Ricou Guild was very considerate.

“Youngho.”

– Yes, brother.

“Could it be possible for you to arrange an opportunity to meet that hunter, Akimaya Takashi?”

I changed the topic.

Since I had decided to build a relationship with Takashi, I wanted to utilize my connections in the Rikou Guild.

In fact, there was almost no way to establish contact with Takashi other than this method.

Since I don’t do much outside activities, there is no way to naturally pursue meeting people.

– Takashi…?

Ahn Young-ho’s reaction was shocking.

It was completely understandable.

The reaction that Ahn Young-ho showed now was the way most Japanese hunters treat Takashi.

Because there was so much eccentric hikikomori perception, it was rare to look at them kindly.

“huh. I’d like to meet you. it’s hard?”

– Oh no, brother. It’s possible. We have to make it possible somehow.

“Your voice has strength.”

– Ah… I guess it’s because we don’t have a friendly relationship. Are you an observer of the guild?

“You might want to be cautious.”

– Yes. But if you want it, I will take responsibility and do it. It’s possible!

Ahn Young-ho, whose voice was slightly shaking, soon regained his original tension and spoke with force.

Kanghu also made the request even though he knew it would be a burden to Ahn Youngho and Rikou Guild.

That’s how eager I was to build a network with Takashi.

He is a member of the Thirteen Stars. At the same time, they are the members with the lowest sense of belonging and solidarity.

If you can maintain a good relationship with him, you may be able to get him to leave the thirteen stars.

Taking him out is not simply a matter of reducing the size of the enemy by one.

Because the other person decreases by one and I gain one. In reality, the gap is reduced by two.

“Thank you, Youngho.”

– Sooner or later, brother! I think I’ll be able to take care of my brother just by going in during a lull.

“okay. i’ll wait.”

– It’s really quick. We will contact you as soon as it is ready. Takashi, let me tell you too!

“Yes, please.”

The phone call with Ahn Young-ho has ended.

Looking back, I think Ahn Young-ho was a very meaningful relationship. It was also a fate created by chance.

If only I hadn’t been at that bar at that time. If only I hadn’t extended a helping hand to Ahn Young-ho.

There would not have been these benefits today. Furthermore, I guess I couldn’t think of a way to create a relationship with Takashi.

For some reason, it was Kang-hu who became more aware of the term “butterfly effect.”

After hanging up the phone from Ahn Young-ho, a little while later I received a call from someone else.

It was a call from an unexpected person.

It was Kim Shin-ryeong who contacted me, and it came much faster than I expected.

“yes?”

– Can I talk to you for a moment?

“of course.”

I was in a situation where my schedule was a little off, but I got a call at the right time. Of course, I still don’t know what it’s about.

– I came into Pohang today.

“Do you have a villa in Pohang?”

– It’s not just a villa, I have my own mansion. There’s a training ground, but it’s a bit big, right?

Kim Shin-ryeong said it casually, but it contained a subtle boast.

Although it is not a villa, it is large enough to have a training ground. You must read the meaning carefully.

“okay.”

– Do you remember what we said when we met a while ago on Ulleungdo? Something about the destroyed weapon.

“of course.”

Of course I remembered it.

An offer to reward Kim Shin-ryeong with a destroyed weapon if he helps train his summons.

I thought it was a win-win because it was a proposal with nothing to lose.

There was just one premise that Ganghu had established.

Even if I help train my summons, I will never use hidden skills.

I didn’t want to show my hidden skills in front of people unless they were loud-mouthed or had a deep relationship with me.

When I used the hidden skill in front of Hyeongseo Moon the other day, it was closer to using it to survive.

This is because the black shadow is a dangerous opponent if you don’t give it your all.

– If it’s okay, can you come as soon as possible? If possible, I want to let them learn while I can.

“Um…”

I paused on purpose.

According to the schedule, there is no problem at all with going to Pohang right now. What remains is time.

However, if you suddenly receive an offer as if you had been waiting for it, the picture is not good.

It’s better to pretend that each other is busy.

Because waiting and time can also be used to evaluate the value of the other person.

– If you hurry, I will reward you accordingly. 100 million won for travel expenses. how is it?

Kim Shin-ryeong’s personality seemed to be that once he decided to do something, he rushed through it.

Usually, that type of personality wants to lead and control every situation as they wish.

At best, he is proactive, but at worst he is self-centered.

And to achieve that goal, I don’t forget to sprinkle plenty of carrots like I do now.

“great. “Let’s do that.”

– good. I’ll give you a gold bar as soon as it arrives. There are some that are made just the right size to be worth it.

“Just give me the address. Then I will go on my own.”

– good. thank you.

It felt strange to hear her say thank you.

In fact, there is no need to receive a thank you note. Because I have something to receive, I go to give.

However, looking at Kim Shin-ryeong’s reaction, it seemed right that he considered himself to be somewhat important.

The low-key attitude that comes naturally in conversation usually comes out unconsciously when the person’s value is high.

It seemed like the last test had quite a meaningful appeal to her. It’s a good thing for Kang-hu.

On the KTX heading to Pohang.

The train, which moved on its own, gave Kanghu a moment of relaxation.

‘I feel fortunate that even transportation is safe.’

A thought that suddenly occurred to me was about the KTX, which connects to various parts of Korea.

This ‘damn worldview’ in the original is a world with no tomorrow, as if it is racing toward the end.

There were some kind of implicit rules in this world too. This means not terrorizing public transportation.

A representative example is KTX.

Of course, since it was only an implicit rule and had no binding force, the rule was not always followed.

However, no matter how bad the majority of hunters were, they did not try to break this rule.

Even Eclipse, whose name always comes up whenever a gangster is mentioned, does not commit terrorism on the KTX.

Ultimately, if this public means of transportation disappears, it will become inconvenient for everyone.

One of the reasons was that so many safety personnel were deployed.

The railway company that manages KTX operations is definitely not the type to just trust in unspoken rules and sit back.

Anyway, for that reason, KTX and flights were less of a problem.

However, it was very dangerous to use a private car without safety equipment when traveling from Seoul to the countryside.

That is why hunters use safe limousines and safe taxis even if they pay extra.

Most of the national roads heading to rural areas are connected to criminal organizations or guilds that control the area.

This is because the targets they use as prey for their evil deeds are the means of the powerless.

If you touch the safety limousine or safety taxi by mistake, you will have to bear the cost of your own sacrifice.

However, if you have a private car that has no such features, you can just ram it into a truck or something.

Meanwhile, overseas news reported through Hunter News was interesting.

News that the multinational mercenary force that attacked Jeongmun Pharmaceutical’s first research center some time ago has been disbanded.

It was a follow-up report, saying that China had declared a ‘war on drugs’.

China was famous for its zero-tolerance policy toward drugs, as it was traumatized by the Opium War in the past.

Recently, as hunters’ drug abuse has become more severe, it seems that they have finally drawn their swords.

Of course, the white war will not disappear like this. It is also a strictly domestic issue.

As soon as Kang Hu arrived at Pohang Station, he immediately changed buses and headed to Kim Shin-ryeong’s mansion.

Pohang is more stable than other regions, so there is no need to worry too much about security.

Kim Shin-ryeong’s house, which arrived at the address, was much larger than Kang-hu expected.

The expression castle seemed to be a much better fit here than the expression mansion.

There were a lot of security facilities.

There were only a few guards to be seen, but considering the security structure, it was understandable.

In addition, there were already quite a few blood stains here and there on the outer wall that seemed to have not been removed on purpose.

These are probably traces of the ‘life’ of petty thieve hunters who approached to rob the inside and then died unexpectedly.

at that time.

Coo coo coo coo.

It took a while for the mansion’s main gate to open.

Kim Shin-ryeong did not wear a mask like last time, but appeared with his original face.

In her hand was something: a magic pistol that could be fired with one hand.

It was difficult to purchase on the market because it required elaborate production and the process of condensing magical power caused instability in fire power.

Such a rare item was in her hands.
