The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 239

Episode 239: The Sea of Tranquility (4)

* * *

The item test lasted for two hours without a break.

Kim Shin-ryeong repeatedly advised Kang-hu to take a break, but Kang-hu had no intention of resting.

Anyway, Kim Shin-ryeong was about to become glum as he watched the items being repeatedly rejected by Kang-hu.

Ganghu suddenly showed curiosity.

“this. I think this is okay. “Can I buy it?”

Kim Shin-ryeong can be the first to make a purchase offer for modified items.

This was also the reason why Kang-hoo actively responded to Kim Shin-ryeong’s item test.

This is because you can check performance before any other hunter in the world.

Kim Shin-ryeong asked.

“Do you think that’s okay?”

“yes. I thought there might be a gap in the suppression options. “I tested it for 10 minutes and there was no problem.”

“Is it okay if it’s a bracelet? “The price is second-rate, so I guess I’ll have to open my wallet a bit, right?”

“I have enough money to buy this.”

Ganghu laughed.

This is a second-grade ‘bracelet’, so considering the basic unit price, you have to pay at least 100 billion won.

Considering the remodeled form, Kanghu was willing to spend an additional 10 to 20 billion won.

“Are you going to live?”

“yes. “This guy is greedy.”

“good. Originally, there was a hunter who asked me to contact him if he found something good for the bracelet. But I will take care of you more than him.”

“thank you.”

“What is gratitude? “It’s not like they’re giving it for free.”

Kanghu looked through the options again.

【Sea of Tranquility – Bracelet】

【Grade: Grade 2】

【Stamina +100】

【Suppression – Suppresses the magical dark age divine power emanating from the body so that it cannot be felt at all.

It is not activated all the time and has a structure that continuously consumes magical energy to suppress the energy. You can easily avoid subtle detection.】

“Originally, there was an option to increase magical power by 200. However, during the modification process, the horsepower option evaporated and suppression was added instead.”

“The suppression option looks too good to think I traded it for horsepower.”

“It can be said to be the best item for hunters who don’t want to reveal their identity first.”

It’s just as Kim Shin-ryeong said.

Being able to hide your energy means a lot. This is because perfect hiding is possible.

Muyoung, the assassin’s level 50 basic skill, is a skill that only removes ‘presence’.

In other words, although it was possible to hide sounds or footsteps, it was not possible to control the natural release of magic that was unique to hunters.

However, it can be controlled if there are containment options.

It is true that using magic power to hide magic power is bad from an efficiency standpoint.

For an assassin like Ganghu, it was the best element to enhance stealth.

“As far as I know, the system allows naming of modified items once.”

“that’s right. So I changed my name. how is it? “Doesn’t this seem to fit with the suppression option?”

“I like it.”

Sea of silence.

One of the flat basaltic lands located on the front of the moon. Kanghu is also a name I have heard before.

As I repeated it, I felt like the name was imprinted on me, and I quite liked Kim Shin-ryeong’s naming sense.

“Do you want to buy it?”

“If possible, I would like to sell the bracelet I am already wearing.”

“It’s good. “I will buy it.”

“Then sell and buy. Let’s proceed like this.”

“Still, I think you got a passing grade on the final test? “The rest all failed.”

“If you want, I can lower the test threshold.”

“no. I hate that. Rather, isn’t it good to be stimulated by the spirit of challenge? “Thank you for being honest.”

“Thank you. “I’m telling it like it is.”

“You’re not the type to say empty words, right?”

“yes. “You shouldn’t do it unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Have you ever been like a snorkeler and said something so poorly that the person around you got upset?

But if something doesn’t work, you can’t beat it to death. Even if you make it work, it’s bound to be noticeable because it’s awkward.

“Okay then, let’s proceed with the transaction and move on right away.”

“Of course.”

The test is over.

The shopping for useful modification items that Kang-hu wanted was also over.

There was nothing I was satisfied with until I tested the Sea of Tranquility, so I thought I had hit the nail on the head today.

Things worked out well in the end.

* * *

The transaction proceeded smoothly.

After the money was exchanged, the money left in the bank account was 216 billion won.

It was clearly a lot of money, but it was money that could disappear in less than a second if you spent it your way.

So, even though Ganghu had a lot of money, he never thought about having a lot of money.

This is probably because they keep aiming for higher-level items and think about upgrading in terms of specs.

If your main goal is to become complacent with reality, money will continue to accumulate, but growth will stop.

after.

The summoned animal training promised to Kim Shin-ryeong was carried out.

This time, it was Eunrang instead of Heilrang that I had met before. It was a summoned beast with maximized detection ability.

He was the perfect sparring partner to test the suppression options of the Sea of Tranquility.

From the beginning, Eunrang was unable to pinpoint Ganghu’s location at all.

Kim Shin-ryeong was impressed by the deceptiveness of Kang-hu’s skillset.

He hides his presence with martial arts and enters a state of absolute stealth with a veil of skill.

In addition, it maintains a constant state of transparency through stealth and even hides energy with the suppression option.

No matter how I maximized my senses, there was no way to find Ganghu. Eunrang became a fool.

Of course, the law of destruction was not completely absent, so he deliberately led Ganghu beyond the veil of technique.

This is because the veil is a range-type skill and disappears if you go out of its range.

Thanks to this, it was also an opportunity for Kang Hu to reflect on the only drawback of the Curtain of Technique skill.

To find Kang-hu, who is in near-perfect hiding.

Eunrang had no choice but to pay attention to observe even the smallest and most subtle changes.

That in itself became a training exercise, and he strengthened his senses to the maximum extent he could develop.

Kang-hoo’s perfect hiding served as a clear motivation for Eun-rang. This is a change brought about by the summoned beast itself stimulating its own intelligence.

Thanks to this, the training ended with both Kanghu and Eunrang gaining a lot from each other.

* * *

That was the end of the official affair with Kim Shin-ryeong.

Is it because I spent more time testing the modified items and training Eunrang than I thought?

While drinking a cup of tea given by Kim Shin-ryeong, Kang-hu sat down with his damp body deep in the sofa.

There was small talk.

There wasn’t really anything to listen to, but they were stories that were interesting to listen to.

Kang Hu, who was listening to Kim Shin-ryeong’s story, suddenly changed the topic when she mentioned the 1000-year old man.

“How did you become acquainted with the Cheon-Sal-Rosu?”

I was curious about the story of the thousand-year old man.

This was inevitable because the 100-year-old master was notorious and tried to copy his skills.

Of course, because I haven’t been to China yet, it’s true that I haven’t even had the opportunity to meet the 1000-year old master.

However, it was clear that the Cheonsalnosu was an important person who was on Kang Hu’s radar.

“I told you about it earlier. It is said that Cheonsalnosu and K are on friendly terms. “We’ve been friends since we were young.”

“That means…”

“When I became a lover with K, the 1000-year old man openly hated me. Are you talking about eating a man or something? “The reason was the same.”

“Even so, is there a need for a third party to interfere in the romantic relationship between a man and a woman?”

“That’s right. “The problem was that he was a stupid man who couldn’t listen to the words of his older brother, whom he respected and served with utmost respect.”

I can see a picture at a glance.

Contrary to Kang-hu’s thoughts, it seems that K, who is indecisive, breaks down in the middle, unable to decide on this or that.

Kim Shin-ryeong continued.

“Anyway, we ended up breaking up. Because it wasn’t a bad breakup, the relationship was able to remain good enough afterward. however.”

“It looks like something else happened.”

“The 100-year old beast really hated it when I modified and crafted items. “They say you shouldn’t play with items, but why is that a joke?”

“hmm.”

“Did you say you were a principled person? “He talked about the strange philosophy that non-original, modified items can be dangerous to hunters.”

“I think there were a lot of reasons why we had no choice but to hurt each other’s feelings.”

“huh. “To me, he’s a crazy old man who ruined everything from his love life to his subsequent life as a hunter.”

“I understand.”

Ganghu nodded.

As faith is not easily broken, even a thief would have his own reasons.

However, there was a feeling of single-mindedness. Do you feel like a one-way conversation would be better than a two-way conversation?

Anyway, I thought that if K and the 100-year-old master were that close, I would actively try to request a teacher.

We have already heard K’s true intentions. He is trying to build a bridge between himself and the old man.

‘He’s an assassin with a lot to learn, even if it’s not just copying skills… I guess belief is the problem.’

I can’t judge Kim Shin-ryeong just by listening to his words, but if I were to have him as a teacher, I feel like he would become an odd teacher.

Thoughts become complicated.

If you look at his personality, he seems to be a doom and gloom.

An old man with perfect scores in terms of skills.

He is by K’s side.

Wouldn’t it be better to express your intention clearly before it’s too late?

* * *

I parted ways with Kim Shin-ryeong, promising to move forward.

Until the next meeting, Kim Shin-ryeong said that he would proceed with modifications to the items that received feedback today.

For Kang-hu, the more she works, the more attractive items she can purchase.

I didn’t forget to add a word of encouragement before we parted ways.

Fighting without feeling awkward! Even if I couldn’t say the same thing, I was able to say things like I’m looking forward to it.

As soon as I left the villa and returned to Pohang Station, I received a call from Oh Yu-jin.

Negotiations with the Gratia Guild have concluded. They said that if you arrive within a week, you can attack at any time.

Through Huntergram, I was immediately handed over all relevant schedules and dungeon information.

Meanwhile, when Kang-hoo asked what the Guru Guild’s request was for confirmation, Oh Yu-jin sent a message.

– Maintain security in the process of moving from the designated area to the dungeon entrance and then exiting the designated area.

We will be going to one of our own dungeons together. It goes without saying, but ‘bleeding’ is essential.

It’s okay to go after Kanghu’s Norway project, so please contact me later. I’ll wait!

A dungeon owned by the Guru Guild and where security is essential. It is clear that this is not an ordinary dungeon.

My expectations were high as there are quite a few dungeons on Jeju Island, many of which are of high value. You’ll find out soon.

‘Then the dungeon attack is confirmed. Now we have to confirm one member before we can start.’

The last and most important puzzle was not completed.

Jeong Yuri, Takashi, Ahn Young-ho, Jeon Se-hyuk, Ban Se-young, Park Dong-jae, Ayane, and Yoon Sang-mi.

First of all, a name with which I have had a close relationship at least once comes to mind again.

A situation where you have to choose one of these. Who will benefit you the most?
