Episode 33: The Great Decapitation (2)
Han Seung-hyuk tilted his head.
The amount offered was attractive.
In fact, it is common for guilds not to lend dungeon licenses to outsiders they have met for the first time.
So there was nothing strange about charging a slightly higher price.
From the renter’s perspective, if it’s not suitable, it’s okay if you don’t rent it.
However, Han Seung-hyuk did not understand why Kang-hoo was interested in the Baltic Dungeon.
I don’t know if you can benefit from the experience points in the dungeon or if you can definitely obtain high-quality magic stones.
The Baltman Dungeon was not a place with such confirmed privileges.
It is true that the boss ‘Waltman’ is a unique monster, but the reward is not special.
Seunghyuk Han asked.
“Can I hear why?”
“It’s a dungeon I’ve wanted to conquer for a long time, and I had a really good dream last night.”
“Do you think you might be able to get some good items?”
“Something like that.”
Just because I had a good dream, I would burn 1 billion won on that dream.
Seunghyuk Han was dumbfounded.
It’s not like any dungeon is a lottery. To be worth 1 billion won, you must obtain at least one level 4 item.
Anyway, Han Seung-hyuk seemed to be quite excited about renting a dungeon license, so he changed his words.
“hmm. “There are so many people looking for it that I have to give you 1.2 billion won.”
Grumble.
Kang-hu pushed the chair and stood up immediately.
I didn’t respond and didn’t even look at Han Seung-hyuk.
If they were going to give more here, it would have been better to go to the warlord and negotiate from the bottom.
Warlords always want to raise enough military funds, so they often sell licenses.
“…over there?”
Seunghyuk Han was embarrassed.
When renting a license, the administrator fee is 10%. Even with the existing proposal, 100 million won is confirmed, but things are about to go wrong.
“10 billion! Let’s make it 1 billion! “I was a bit greedy at the moment, so let’s cut it off with 1 billion!”
Ganghu stopped.
Han Seung-hyuk probably thinks he has made a profit.
They sold out a dungeon whose license wasn’t even selling well.
But for Kang-hu, the meaning was different.
For the Assassin class, skills such as decapitation are difficult to obtain.
Even if you get it with a skill book, it is worth the price.
At the minimum, it would be 10 billion won.
If you can learn such skills for 1 billion won by using tricks, it will definitely be a profitable business.
Of course, only from the perspective of Han Seung-hyuk, who does not know the inside story, Kang-hoo will seem like a pushover.
It’s better if you think of it that way.
The deal was concluded.
“When can I go?”
Kang Hu turned his head and asked Han Seung-hyuk the most important question.
* * *
The timing was perfect.
You can enter the Baltman Dungeon after 6 hours.
It is said that the initialization will be completed at that moment.
So Kanghu rented a motel near the Baltman Dungeon as a large room and stayed there.
As I was feeling a bit lethargic, I took a refreshing bath in cold water and woke up my damp mind.
After washing up, Kang-hu checked the remaining amount of solarium stored in the refrigerator.
7 is not enough.
Valtman is a guy that requires quite a bit of firepower, so if he gets screwed up once, Solarchium can be depleted like crazy.
‘It’s a picture that has no choice but to go to ground zero.’
Even if it wasn’t for a request related to Jo Gu-bin, I would have gone to Ground Zero at least once.
Once I decided to go, there were a lot of things that bothered me.
Ground Zero is wilderness in the truest sense of the word.
It is a place filled with all kinds of mutant monsters and criminal hunters.
Moreover, hunters from North Korea often come down, so there was a possibility of meeting them.
It goes without saying, but we don’t get along well with North Korean hunters. If you are unlucky, you may fight as an enemy.
Beep.
In the TV news about hunters I tuned in just in case.
– The organization ‘Taehwagang’, which is based around Taehwagang Station in Ulsan, has launched a large-scale attack.
The target is the organization Red Blood, which is in disarray due to its captain’s fatal injury.
It appears that Taehwagang is trying to rally all the surrounding organizational forces and use this opportunity to drive them out.
“All of a sudden, the Warring States Period has arrived.”
Kanghu snorted.
It doesn’t matter how it goes.
Even if the Gong Tae-su dies, another Gong Tae-su will emerge.
When a bad guy dies, an even worse guy usually takes his place.
Driving out villains and opening a good era in a good world is something that only happens in novels.
At that time, a phone call came.
It was obvious that among those who knew his number, he would call first.
“Yes, Seoyeon.”
– How are you?
“I don’t think I suddenly called to say hello. “Just tell me what you want.”
– Cha So-hee is moving down to Jeonju. I don’t know why I went, but it looks like I got some relevant information.
“Did you close your eyes?”
– huh. I personally hired an eye because I was worried about my brother. There won’t be any problem.
“thank you. But there’s no need to overdo it.”
– You’re not overdoing it. I’m only paying attention to the parts that I can care about.
“okay.”
– brother.
“huh.”
– If you want, I can open a road towards Seoul. It’s really safe there.
Although he used an indirect metaphor of Seoul, it means that he will make a kite for the Jeonghwa guild.
For Kang-hoo, the Jeong-hwa guild was a place full of antipathy because it would become his biggest enemy in the future.
Of course, he did not think that Han Seo-yeon had brought this up to him with malicious intent. It must be her consideration.
“are you okay. Thank you for your consideration.”
– If you need help at any time, please let me know. You got it, brother? Don’t struggle alone.
“okay. Seoyeon, I hope you are doing well and in good health. “Always be careful whenever you go to a dungeon.”
– Yes, I will!
“Hang up. “I’m having a hard time.”
Kang Hu hung up the phone.
Even in the original work, Han Seo-yeon is a person who only looks at Shin Kang-hu.
It’s the epitome of pure love.
In the latter part of the story, he sacrifices his life for Shin Kang-hu.
That sacrifice ultimately causes Shin Kang-hu to run away and lead him into tragedy.
He, who had always maintained his cool and opposed Jang Si-hwan, became an emotional person for the first time.
That becomes a fatal weakness and he is killed by Jang Si-hwan.
If it’s a great ending for the villain that will decorate the finale of the story, it could be the end.
“Han Seo-yeon….”
In the time of love, Shin Kang-hoo in the original did not spare any sacrifice for Han Seo-yeon. I loved without regret.
She must have kept the memories of that time intact in her heart and is now repaying her emotional debt to herself.
* * *
If I had 6 hours to spare, I would have laid down in bed and slept first without waiting.
I had a hard time falling asleep today, probably because I had so many things to worry about.
So I turned on ‘Huntergram’.
It is a social networking site exclusively for hunters and is often used for promotional purposes and cover videos.
Since they often reveal their skills to the public, there are usually many videos of talented hunters.
Of course, there was also a video of Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyung here.
The number of pure views without duplicates exceeded 1 million in just one day of upload.
The popularity of both is ‘insane’.
“hmm.”
Kang-hoo’s expression became increasingly hard as he watched the promotional video.
Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong are both high-level and have many constellations under contract, so it is natural for them to be picky.
In fact, the biggest problem was that the combination of their abilities was highly fraudulent.
Jang Si-hwan is a magic-space hunter and Chae Gwan-hyeong is a swordsmanship-space hunter.
What this means is that you can attack your opponent by freely changing space.
Flashing from east to west is guaranteed with the ability. Otherwise, it does not cause overload on the body.
Born as a hunter, he is specialized in spatial movement. This means using short-distance movement skills without any effort.
I can’t really blame anyone because it was myself who was molded that way in the original work.
“No matter how good you are at camouflage and how you hide your fingernails and claws, it’s dangerous inside the purification guild.”
I also considered the option of joining a purification guild to grow more quickly, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it would do more harm than good.
As a close example, wasn’t Ahn Young-ho almost kidnapped after being exploited to his heart’s content?
Moreover, I am concerned that Yu Chenghua, one of the thirteen stars, is already in the Zheng He guild.
In any case, Ganghu’s skills can also be copied by her. It’s not a good picture.
“If you want to nest in a certain faction, the warlords in Gangwon-do are not bad.”
Kanghu was not only interested in the metropolitan area.
In Gangwon-do, there are some warlords who have a bit of a ‘human smell’.
These are hunters who gathered together with their own beliefs and righteous causes, such as maintaining peace or eradicating crime.
I thought it was worth going there too.
If you look at many animals in the wild, it is difficult for them to survive from predators when they are born.
In the process of growing into an adult, it is difficult for them to survive when they grow up to be attractive prey.
Kang-hoo thought that was exactly who he was now.
I thought I needed to be on my toes at least until I reached level 200.
Because the risk of death always exists wherever you go. I cannot feel at ease even for a single minute.
* * *
After the waiting time is over.
When Ganghu arrived in front of the Baltman Dungeon, hunters dispatched from the Onnuri Guild were guarding the entrance.
‘This kind of service is good.’
As it was an official license rental company, they seemed to pay meticulous attention to follow-up management.
A few hunters looked at Kang-hoo curiously, and a hunter who looked like a team leader spoke to Kang-hoo.
“You are level 33. Would it be okay if I entered the level 100 dungeon, Baltman Dungeon? “That too solo?”
Since level scanning was essential during the rental process, it didn’t really matter if information about the level was known.
but.
‘That guy’s numbers game is always a problem.’
I was bothered by the team leader’s comments about judging his potential based on numbers.
Everyone judges everything based on numbers and thinks that if there is a big difference, they will tremble and die. It’s about giving up.
“….”
Ganghu ignored them and entered the dungeon.
Kang Hu’s idea was that it was enough to avoid multiple battles.
Kang-hu moves carefully, slowly and calmly. Without overdoing it, I conquered the Baltic Dungeon from the beginning.
It’s not a request that requires a rush.
Since it was a dungeon I paid a lot of money to enter, I didn’t want to give up even a little bit of experience.
I steadily raised my level like that.
The passive skill was easier to attack because rear attacks dealt good damage, perhaps due to the contempt for the weak.
However, there was only one thing that was disappointing throughout the strategy.
“As a class, I can’t ignore the lack of weapons.”
It was a regret about the joy of the sky, Ganghu’s main weapon and dagger.
This is because hunters, who are usually called named, have really expensive, rare, and functional main weapons.
Such weapons were at least grade 3 and had a variety of uses.
However, Joy of the Sky had no other configuration except for options related to recovery when not in combat at level 5.
This was so disappointing.
Of course, it is quite surprising that he is demonstrating this level of skill without any weapons.
However, because I was always aiming for a high place, I could not help but regret every moment of the present, as I could not help but feel lack.
