The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 229

Episode 229. Low Self-Esteem (2)

Three white eyes.

A somewhat aggressive impression where the lower tip of the pupil does not reach the lower eyelid.

In physiognomy, this is called the eye of an ambitious person, and it is also evaluated as indicating a natural desire for achievement and victory.

However, if you try to get to know ‘that man’ closely, for some reason, an atmosphere that is far removed from this physiognomy result is often given off.

How could he be so indifferent that he wouldn’t care even if a bunch of big scars appeared on his face right away, let alone winning or losing?

Even though the man was an S-class hunter at the top of the food chain, his mental strength always stood out more than his physical strength.

‘A hunter you can’t help but respect.’

Actually, if you look at it by age alone, there isn’t that much of a difference, but isn’t this industry originally a place where skill is paramount?

Kim Ki-ryeo seemed to be a man born for hunting.

He didn’t even blink an eye at most things.

How clean is their private life there? Except for the school violence rumors of the past that were not true, there was nothing to find even if you tried to dig it up.

Some people say that his uniqueness was due to his childhood spent alone and lonely.

Ahn Yoon-seung didn’t think so.

From what I’ve seen from the side, Kim Ki-ryeo’s abilities were not at a level where he could be swayed by such petty environmental factors.

Truly, a natural talent.

That man was a collection of realms that the criminal could not reach no matter how hard he struggled.

‘Strength, strategy, mentality. Honestly, as a hunter, there’s nothing I lack.’

However, one day, the hunter who seemed to be infallible forever displays an extremely rare behavior.

For a moment, his hands trembled and his expression became calm as if he had not even had time to think about it.

This was a surprising thing for Ahn Yoon-seung. It was like a well-made cultural asset breaking right in front of his nose, and he felt as if something inside him was sinking.

Without even having to dig up the distant past, didn’t the fourth S-class take the attack without hesitation to protect his acquaintance during the recent [Thorn Forest] incident?

In creative works, villains are often portrayed as attractive.

But in reality, people tend to be attracted to people who uphold ethics like this.

Besides, that hunter isn’t just kind to my acquaintances!

[m***: I’m so touchedㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

[7**: As expected, a true first-class person doesn’t even harbor a little jealousy toward his colleagues. Rather, since he has a lot, he tries to give and share first.]

[P***: That thorn hurt so much that even just brushing against it hurt so much, how did you defeat it by yourself?]

During the Thorn Forest Dungeon Break Suppression.

The Internet was abuzz with testimonies from bank employees who escaped from the dome.

This is because the identity of the testimony was precisely these statements.

-And Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo was determined to catch the boss alone at the end.

-that’s right!

-If you’re going to suffer anyway, it’s better to suffer alone…

Even though you suffer the sharp pain that shoots straight into your nerves, you volunteer to take on all the work.

‘Even when you blocked the attack coming at me, you didn’t show any sign of pain because you were afraid that your little brother might be worried… …!’

Yun Seung felt respect again.

A person who willingly took on the task of clearing out thorn trees alone for the sake of other hunters.

How could I ignore the fact that this great awakener suddenly seemed to be in poor condition?

‘People shouldn’t live like this, just receiving.’

If you receive a favor, you should know how to repay it.

Again, Yun Seung wanted to help that fourth S-class in some way.

And then, at this point, an opportunity finally came.

♧Good News♧

[[Dungeon News] Maybe we’re already ‘ruined’. (Continue reading)]

… It was an incident of such a scale that I hesitated to say it was a good thing.

***

The age of machines has arrived!

In fact, there has not yet been a problem that warrants such talk.

However, a certain phenomenon that started on the 6th has caused enough commotion in the capital.

The gates of this world originally had an irregular pattern in which certain monsters would appear more frequently.

Unfortunately, this time the target is ‘Golems’.

It’s like a claw machine filled with only certain items.

Soon, most of Seoul’s Class A gates were replaced by nests of inanimate objects.

The probability of Golems appearing in dungeons has suddenly increased dramatically.

【 Hunternet < Free Bulletin Board 】

[m***: The golem gives you an infinite power core in the boss fight. Thanks to that, you can mine as much as you want, so isn’t that a gain??]

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Golems are actually representative of avoided monsters.

Unlike the beast type, there are no restrictions on movement even when injured. (Bleeding resistance)

The defense there was so ridiculously high that it usually took ages just to break the outer shell. (Physical defense)

【 Hunternet < Free Bulletin Board 】

[All***: Isn’t Golem just a core one-tool? ㅇ_ㅇ]

[7**: That’s right. The loot value of regular monsters is so trash that if you don’t get the core from the Golem Dungeon, your team’s share will be destroyed in no time.]

If you’re not careful, you could end up suffering and only end up breaking even because of the potion price.

Everyone was desperate to pretend they didn’t know about the Golem explosion.

But from the government’s point of view, that wasn’t possible.

The Class A Golem dungeons that began to spread throughout Seoul had similar occurrence times, so unless they somehow pushed in raiders, there was a high possibility that they would cause simultaneous breaks.

“This is a headache. It hasn’t been that long since the new president’s inauguration and this is already happening.”

“Should we first issue a mobilization order for A-class hunters?”

“Now? It’s too early.”

“But if we leave it up to the hunters, it’ll be a big problem… … .”

Groan, groan.

The conference room of the Constitutional Court becomes noisy.

“ha.”

First of all, the people who could most amicably resolve the situation were S-class superhumans.

Unfortunately, calling them wasn’t easy.

1st place. Jeong Ha-seong.

He was going to be busy for quite some time from now on, dealing with the aftermath of the [Dongjanggun] dungeon break that occurred in the Jeju area.

2nd place. Esther.

This one is not even outside the dungeon, but inside.

An incident occurred where a Class A awakening team from a local branch of the Korean Tower was injured and trapped in a dungeon.

To solve this, the guild leader Esther personally visited Cheongju, and the dungeon that the team was clearing was so large that it took an average of 3.8 days to clear, so they said this and that…

Is there really a need to explain the next order?

Kang Chang-ho. No response.

When pushed to this point, the Association had no choice but to place its hopes on the last S-class Hunter.

9th place.

But let’s hear it from the predecessor who left with the late Chairman Ko.

The hunter had previously accused the agency of failing to protect his personal information, and had even threatened them to never call him by force…

‘Well, I guess it’s okay to ask!’

That was the moment when they were about to attempt a gamble that was certain to fail.

-Tiring. Tiring. Tiring. Tiring.

An employee gapes as he checks the continuous beeping of notifications on his computer.

[New Strategy Application – The Hand of the Giant (A) – Applicant: Neo Sisters Co., Ltd.]

[New Strategy Application – The Hand of the Giant (A) – Applicant: Neo Sisters Co., Ltd.]

[New Strategy Application – The Hand of the Giant (A) – Applicant: Neo Sisters Co., Ltd.]… .

How did this happen?

Suddenly, a large number of Golem Gates are being reserved at once.

***

The home of the golem-shaped monster that hunters avoid. [Giant Soldier’s Grasp] appears.

But in this situation, only one A-class hunter was delighted.

“This is it!”

A gift that will stimulate the joy of Korea’s fourth S-class Kim Ki-ryeo?

Ah, of course, there would be no other choice but 『Citizen Safety』.

‘As expected from our brother… … .’

Honor.

Did the hunter feel any irritation at this society full of hatred and fighting?

In the early days of their relationship, he was a person who hid his rank and lived a quiet life.

However, as a born righteous man, he cannot stand by and watch the threat that has come, and eventually reveals his true identity.

[(Breaking News) Korea, 4th S-Class Appearance!]

And after being found out that he was an S-class, he acted in all sorts of incidents as if he thought that there was no way around it since he would get into trouble anyway.

peace.

No matter how much I thought about it, the only thing that would interest the hunter was this boring and wonderful topic.

So, Seung-eun Yoon, who had made up his mind, said to his colleagues.

“You want to monopolize the Golem that appeared in Seoul? What do you mean?”

I want to put an end to this situation as quickly as possible, even if it means working overtime and giving up my holiday work.

Of course, the appearance of a large number of golem-shaped demons is by no means something to be taken lightly.

So, other members of the Neo Sisters guild were secretly considering golem hunting, but it was a bit much to suddenly put people into a crunch schedule like this.

“No… Why would we? Why? If the dungeon is about to explode anyway, the government will step in….”

“That’s the problem! Actually, I want to somehow resolve the situation before the Association calls in the S-class Hunters.”

The regular team leader of Neo Sisters maintains a listening attitude for now.

Listening to the story, it seems like the 9th ranked hunter in the Korean hunter industry has recently broken his ironclad image and is showing signs of exhaustion.

Because of this, Ahn Yoon-seung was worried and seemed to have decided to voluntarily subdue the golem in order to reduce the burden on the 9th rank even a little.

“If we can’t get him to the A-class line, he’ll step forward again. How could someone like my brother pretend not to know that people are in danger? Ugh, given his personality, it’s obvious that he’d step forward without showing any sign of difficulty… …!”

The intentions are certainly good.

“hmm.”

Still, I didn’t want to voluntarily take on a dungeon as difficult as Golem, and which was also dangerously unprofitable.

What kind of volunteer work is hunting?

This is also a tough job that is ultimately done to earn a living, so how can a member of society suffer losses for the sake of others?

“… That’s a really good idea!”

There was a case where I saw it.

Team 3’s leader readjusted his crossbow and turned his head.

Then, Baek Ja-kyung, the youngest member of the team standing behind, shouted with a surprised expression on her face.

“If even someone like me can help, I would really appreciate it!”

“Oh my. You’ve got Kim Ki-ryeo fans~ If this keeps up, we’ll both end up joining later on.”

“They don’t accept hunters there?”

By the way, didn’t Hunter Baek Ja-gyeong say that he had previously received help from customer number 33, Kim Ki-ryeo, who was disguised, at an epic auction where he had gone on behalf of the guild’s archers?

That’s why he’s making such a heated argument.

“Team leader.”

It was a moment when the polite leader had an indifferent expression.

Ahn Yoon-seung threw a benevolent temptation at the team leader of Team 3, who was lost in thought.

“Anyway… … . That… … . There’s some kind of epic item that’s going up for auction this time. It’s a crossbow of a shape I’ve never seen before. And its abilities are amazing.”

“Wild Crossbow?”

“Yes! But weren’t you worried that you might not be able to win the bid because the starting bid was too high last time? And recently, because of the equipment replacement work, you always ate at the cafeteria… … .”

When something absolutely cannot be done, it is a good idea to look back and see if the resources you have invested were insufficient.

“Team Leader! I’ll give up my dividend!”

Yoon Seung-eun immediately spoke strongly.

“I will distribute all the profits that fall to me equally among the team!”

“uh?”

“Besides, after looking into it, I found out that [Giant Soldier’s Grasp] has a higher probability of producing a core than [Golden Fragrance]?”

“…!”

“The fact that the distribution is destroyed is ultimately a story about when the core doesn’t come out. But if you reserve several dungeons and clear them all at once… .”

Probabilistically speaking, the returns are not particularly unstable. That’s what averaging is all about.

Moreover, the youngest member of the team also intervened as soon as he heard Yoon Seung’s words.

“Me too! This time, I won’t settle accounts either!”

“What?”

“I’m so grateful to Hunter Kim. No, you actually helped me out without asking for anything in return, right? But I can’t just go and say thank you to someone I don’t even know. If I can support you in a meaningful way, even on this occasion… … .”

“No, really?”

“Yes! Really!”

Wow, two top hunters have declared their donations.

So what % increase in settlement amount does the rest of the people receive?

On days when you’re lucky and the number of cores that appear is higher than usual… … ?

“Hmm.”

“Ahem.”

The team members who had been quiet suddenly start coughing.

The healer was the first to speak.

“Aren’t you young people deep in thought? It’s rare to see such a loyal sight these days. Oh my, if only for the sake of the matter, shouldn’t we try this out amongst ourselves at least once… … .”

The elder spoke first in a deep voice. Soon, the young male guild member next to him also expressed his opinion.

“I’m fine too. Well, our team’s vacation schedule has already been set. Why don’t we just run around and take a good rest while we’re at it?”

The crossbowman, who is the team leader, suddenly sees the shadow of an object.

A new American artifact that will be available on the Epic Auction House in two weeks.

The elegant silhouette of the crossbow is more attractive than a fancy supercar to someone who has chosen hunting as her life’s work. However, even after five years of experience in the industry, she still does not have the confidence to dare to carelessly own that crossbow.

After all, epic artifacts with offensive capabilities are worth astronomical amounts of money.

Things like force, or safety.

If I had just that one item, my hunter life would change drastically.

In addition, the epic weapon that has appeared this time is, luckily, a crossbow that someone can handle very well. If you miss it, it will surely take a long time until the next opportunity comes… … .

Trembling.

After a long period of reflection.

The leader of Team 3 took out his cell phone with trembling hands.

“Yes, Mom. It’s me. I think I’ll be home late for a few days starting today. So, eat dinner first… … . Make sure to order something really delicious for Dad… … .”

What followed was a tearful all-night domino effect for an office worker.
