Episode 50 Hunting Dog (1)
One yellow magic stone.
It is a magic stone with an average transaction price of around 1 billion.
Although the price fluctuated significantly each time due to low trading volume, it was usually possible to pocket 1 billion won.
Currently, Kanghu’s bank account has a balance of 6.4 billion won.
If you sell the 4 green magic stones you have steadily collected, you will receive an additional 400 million won.
If you sell the item you got from the guy you had a fight with before entering Ground Zero, it’s 100 million won.
And if you perform the Jo Gu-bin request and dispose of the mana-related items acquired, you will receive an additional 1 billion won.
If you dispose of the yellow magic stone, 8.9 billion won will be created.
10 billion was just around the corner.
“If I work a little harder, I might be able to buy a grade 3 dagger within a few days, right?”
The target is within sight.
If necessary, you can sell the border of massacre.
Because it is a grade 4 dagger, it is worth 1 billion won.
Then, 10 billion won will be created by scraping it all together.
The purchase of a grade 3 dagger is confirmed.
After happily taking the yellow magic stone, I looked at the list of robber skills activated on Sammy.
【Skills that can be stolen from a target with Robbery activated are as follows.】
【Illusion】
【Annihilation Giant Thrall】
“Is the name of the skill that used to throw that acid ball earlier called Annihilation Giant Thrall? “This sounds like the name I was thinking of.”
Names and compositions that you must have thought of in your head at least once pop out of the dungeon.
I had felt it before, but it seemed like the realm of the unconscious was well implemented throughout the world.
I once thought of a dungeon that gave out ridiculous rewards, and such a place must be somewhere in the world.
“hallucination.”
It was decided to exclude the Great Annihilation Tournament from the heist options.
Although it is flashy and attractive, it reveals a fatal weakness to long-distance attacks while spinning.
It was a high-risk option because it was like a target spinning in place.
【Illusion】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【Induces hallucinations in one designated target. You may experience abnormal sensations or pain.】
【The ‘absolute trigger’ judgment is applied depending on the skill level. You will experience hallucinations for at least 0.2 seconds.】
【50% of your mana will be consumed immediately.】
“Oh.”
Perhaps thanks to the effect of achieving maximum proficiency, an attractive option has been added to the hallucination skill.
Absolute trigger decision.
Even if you are completely immune to mental attacks, you will still experience hallucinations for a short period of time.
This difference is very large.
This is because, for a brief moment, your judgment may be affected and you may face a reality that is different from what you thought.
Because the mana requirement was so high, it seemed impossible to use it all the time.
However, it is an excellent skill as a strategic option, so I thought it would have great use in the future.
The combination of assassination and hallucinations…
A stupid target may lose his life without even realizing that he is dying.
“I hallucinated when aiming straight. “I gained skill options that I would never have been able to obtain in my life by honestly walking the path of an assassin.”
Ganghu left the dungeon with a proud expression.
A ‘characteristic change’ will soon occur in this dungeon.
I plan to attack again then and get new skills. Everything was going smoothly according to plan.
* * *
two days later.
Cha So-hee, who stayed disguised at Seoul Station all day today, had a dark expression on her face.
Since Seoul is famous for its good public safety, he had to hold back, otherwise he would have blown someone’s head off.
Although I spent two days without any results, I was able to achieve some results, perhaps thanks to my training in informants.
A call came from Gwangju.
It was a report that a person with a similar appearance to Kang Hu had been found.
This was information I received from an informant who often seeks information within the Haeyoung Guild.
The source was the leader of the group of hunters who lost his life to Ganghu and one of his subordinates.
Although it was slightly shaken, there was a photo of Kang-hoo’s face.
‘When on earth did you go from Seoul Station to Gwangju? Could it be that I missed it because I used the terminal?’
Unless you know that you are at Seoul Station, there is no way you would abandon a convenient means and choose the bus.
There could only be one reason why Ganghu was able to take a detour.
Either you are receiving some kind of help from someone, or you are looking into it yourself.
“….”
Only then did Cha So-hee begin to see the surroundings a little differently.
And in the crowd of people, he identified two people who were particularly focused on him.
The timing of eye contact was irregular, but it was frequent compared to eye contact given to others.
‘Damn it…’
Anger surged to the top of my head.
This is why Ganghu had no choice but to escape like a loach. Because there are eyes to see.
Now I know its existence.
I knew where Kang-hu was, and I had deployed personnel in advance.
Before going down to Gwangju Songjeong Station, Cha So-hee first tried to take the eyes off her.
I was too complacent.
Since he was chasing Kang-hoo, he never thought that someone would be paying attention to him.
Cha So-hee blamed her own carelessness and started chasing an ‘eye’ nearby.
Either kill him or chase him away.
Now is the time to start organizing.
And I was planning to go straight to Gwangju.
Shin Kang-hu’s tail is finally visible.
* * *
That time.
Kanghu was in the market.
First of all, I had finished conquering the dungeon where the characteristics changed along with the reset.
The level has become 51.
Thanks to this, the basic level 50 assassin skill was added, and the skill was stolen from the middle boss and main boss.
A total of 3 skills were added.
【Muyeong】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【Uses 1 mana every second to eliminate 99% of footsteps and the presence of mana.】
【However, each individual’s unique lethality cannot be eliminated. A separate evasion and concealment mechanism is required.]
For the Assassin class, a martial arts skill, also known as the first job change, has been created.
Of course, due to the nature of the class, mana is always lacking, so it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, but it is a skill that suits well.
This is because once the sound of footsteps and the presence of mana disappear, you are almost undetectable by enemies in stealth mode.
Of course, since only 1% of the traces were left behind, there was a possibility that they would be discovered by hunters who were sensitive or had developed senses.
In any case, it was highly useful because it was a skill that made an assassin more of an assassin.
【Wind Roejin】
【Light Blade】
And these two skills were obtained from the dungeon with changed characteristics.
As you can guess from the name, it is a 100% pure forest-type dungeon, so the name of the skill had a different feel.
Wind Roejin is an installation-type skill that creates a wide-area attack area that does not apply only to oneself, and Lightning Rain is a dagger throwing skill.
In particular, in the case of Jeon Gwang Bido, it is a throwing special skill that can only be used with daggers, and its power was considerable.
If you think of it as a long-distance attack version of a decapitation, the metaphor is perfect.
‘Anyway, the balance was set at 10.1 billion won. Even if you buy a grade 3 dagger, you will still have 100 million won in extra money.’
When I conquered the second dungeon, I was able to get my balance right thanks to the abundance of green magic stones in succession.
Contrary to initial expectations, there was no need to sell the boundaries between joy and carnage in the sky.
If you buy a new grade 3 dagger, you can use the rest as throwing sub weapons.
There were a lot of items for sale, probably because it was a very populated area with a lot of hunters.
Rather, it felt like the market in Gwangju had a lot more choices than in Seoul.
I felt once again that quality items are not determined by region, but by blood.
This means that it must be an area where combat is actively taking place.
“Use it well.”
“Of course.”
After meticulously completing the product confirmation and bank transfer with the seller, Ganghu received a grade 3 dagger item.
It was the moment when I finally had a unique weapon that could be called my signature.
【Blood Flow – Weapon】
【Grade: Grade 3】
【Strength +200】
【Anti-demon +50】
【Toughness +50】
‘It starts with the stats.’
Kang-hu’s eyes, who were rarely surprised, widened.
Not only other stats, but also his resistance and tenacity increased by an additional 50.
Considering that the total stat increase for grade 4 is 100 and grade 3 is 200 on average.
The additional increase in both stats was a kind of bonus concept.
In addition, because it was so difficult to raise anti-horsepower and tenacity, the value of stat 1 was treated the same as the other stat 2.
The fact that these items are on the market also means that there is a shortage of skilled assassins.
It didn’t matter what the story behind it was.
Because now you are the owner. That’s it.
Kanghu lowered his gaze further from the item window.
Starting with grade 3 items, there are additional ‘special effects’. Here, the identity of the item is determined.
【Taste of blood – If you attack again the area where the wound was made by a blood discharge, additional damage of 25% is applied.】
[Greed – If you do not get blood on the blade of the blood stream within 24 hours, the blood discharge will disappear forever.
However, blood discharge that has not disappeared provides an additional 2.5% experience to the wearer.]
The gluttony effect is not difficult to maintain. Because blood can be stained with animal blood.
If there is no way to get blood, just cut yourself a little and get some blood.
Just by raising the item grade by one level, a huge change occurred in the body.
My strength increased by a whopping 100.
Strength exceeds 200.
This is a fairly excessive stat for an assassin class that mainly improves agility.
Even more so if your level is ‘barely’ 51.
Most assassins only have the basic stat strength at this point.
This is because they are usually busy investing in agility in the beginning. Or invest some of it in mana.
The current Ganghu has much higher strength than ordinary swordsmen of the same level, and at the same time has maximized assassin characteristics.
It’s like having two occupations mixed in one body. There is no problem with fighting with a great sword.
at that time.
Text messages came from Han Seo-yeon and Lee Ye-rin.
Perhaps because both eyes were glued together, the text messages always arrived at the same time.
Since the content was almost the same, I read the text message from Han Seo-yeon more carefully.
【brother. Cha So-hee found out that his eyes were glued and killed him. I think the other eye managed to escape.】
【The last thing confirmed was that I went to catch the KTX to Gwangju Songjeong Station. That is the last information.】
“Is it finally coming?”
Ganghu turned his slightly stiff wrist and made a clicking sound.
I thought that if I were the person I am now, it would be worth sticking around.
We have built up some substance.
Just avoiding it is not the answer, and the siege is gradually narrowing.
If you start tracking people by spending a lot of money on them, there will be no answer in the country.
On the other hand, I was also thinking about the picture of watching Cha So-hee compete and talking directly with Kang Dong-hyun.
I thought it was possible to reach a mutually non-aggressive agreement to stop touching each other.
This is because Kang Dong-hyun is a very practical person. Of course, it doesn’t overturn the absurdity.
Since Eclipse’s ‘investigator’ is attached, there must be an end in some form. Only then will the chase end.
“The timing is perfect.”
I exceeded the desired level of 50 and purchased a dagger that will be useful in battle.
There are also plenty of Solarkium and Mad Solarkium, with 10 and 5 respectively.
Now it seemed like it was time to hunt the hounds.
The significant difference in level between her and me didn’t matter.
Aren’t assassins originally a profession that makes a living by targeting people?
Change common sense into emergency sense.
He had the ability to twist precise predictions into unexpected variables.
Ganghu believed in himself.
