Episode 230. The Life of a Magpie Isn’t Bad
A few days passed since then.
A drizzly morning.
Ha-seong, who had resolved the dungeon break in Jeju Island and returned to Seoul on the first flight at dawn, and Esther, who had also taken care of the guild branch issue and was soaking in the bathtub, simultaneously confirmed this report.
[“Don’t worry anymore.” Golem Incident End]
News arrived that the disaster in the capital had ended without them even knowing it.
“Hmm? A golem?”
Well, the area near the Han River is often covered with certain monsters during the summer.
In the past, there was a species called the Fire Bat that caused such a fuss, but this time it was the Golem.
Esther enjoyed a full body bath in bubble water and stared at the TV on the bathroom wall.
But the next thing I heard from the announcer was shocking.
– And in dealing with this situation, the Neo Sisters’ Hunter Team played a particularly large role, and it was revealed that the number of gates conquered by these three regular teams reached a whopping 58% of the total.
58%.
58%?
The difficulty is A-class, there are golems living inside, and there’s even a gate that has to be cleared within a week to prevent the dungeon from exploding at 58%?!
“oh.”
The sweet scent of British bath salts wafts into the bathroom steam.
Esther turned up the volume of the news with interest, calmly relieving the fatigue accumulated from work.
“How on earth do you do that?”
It’s a situation where it’s really impossible for this sound not to come out.
***
Thump thump.
“… … .”
Slap.
A gate on the Han River.
A haggard-looking hunter walks out of the created exit.
This character is an A-class hunter belonging to the Neo Sisters. As for other characteristics, she is a hunter famous for handling a crossbow-shaped weapon.
He is also the leader of a five-person group.
“mom…….”
But why is someone who is already well past the age to be independent suddenly looking for the older generation?
That was tied to the 58% figure that would be reported in the news later.
Yes, that’s right.
The three regular teams of Neo Sisters finally cleared the last [Grab of the Giant Soldier] after a forced march of four days since the last distribution agreement.
[The Giant’s Grasp].
A class A dungeon with a rustic temple as its backdrop.
A monster nest where the monsters that appear are simply the common soldier ‘Sand Golem’ and the leader ‘Peres’.
By the way, the sand golems there were not made of sand, but simply had a bright-colored outer shell, and were incredibly strong and formidable enemies.
But she just came back from beating it all.
how?
Thanks to a certain shaved head student.
‘Mom… … . Mom, my daughter… … . made a lot of money this time… … .’
Shivering.
The crossbowman fiddles with the family photo in his wallet with trembling hands.
I still can’t believe it.
The sand golems that appear here have a completely different structure from the Golden Fragrance Golem Guardians. In short, they are unknown enemies whose emergency stop method was not taught to Yun Seung by anyone.
They say the goal of education is independence.
In that sense, one alien could be seen as having done a fairly good job of playing the role of a teacher.
-Yoon Seung-ah, look carefully.
-yes.
-This is a golem joint. It rotates and moves from here to here.
-yes.
-But unlike humans, this joint forms a semicircle when bent.
-ah!
-When fighting a golem with round joints like this, check the angle of its arms carefully and then dig into its bosom instead.
-Into your arms… .
-Don’t be afraid.
One day, An Yun-seung absorbed all the knowledge about golems that Kiria had explained in passing.
Moreover, he had more assets from the previous [Golden Fragrance].
It wasn’t just magicians who had to fight for momentum.
A world where a mammal that is 174cm tall and weighs about 66kg runs away in fear from an insect that is just 1.3cm and 0.3g.
Fear usually has a huge impact on the success or failure of an action.
That may be why Ahn Yoon-seung won this fight by a landslide.
He had completely shaken off his distorted fears because of a certain scenery that Kim Ki-ryeo had shown him.
What at first felt like nothing more than a monster of incomprehensible dimensions gradually began to reveal itself as something clumsy and full of gaps.
That was the appearance of the golem that Ahn Yoon-seung was seeing at the moment.
-bang!

A sudden and sharp heaviness like a blowing cold wind.
-bang!
If you just keep your wits about you, you can safely evade it.
Whenever a hunter named Kim Ki-ryeo goes hunting, the golems turn into foolish scrap metal, like robot vacuum cleaners that get caught on high thresholds and kick their legs.
And there is no way that Ahn Yoon-seung, who watched all of this from the side, would still have a golem trauma.
– I’ll induce a big attack. When it starts swinging its arms, focus your firepower on the seam area after 10 seconds!
The members of the Neo Sisters were impressed by the performance of a certain defense-type hunter.
The moment the gentle young man entered the dungeon, he became sharp and almost like a different person.
A strong figure that does not flinch even slightly even when faced with a giant monster more than five times its size.
-Senior Yoon Seung. Aren’t you afraid of the golem?
The Sand Golem’s attack was so powerful that even an A-class Awakened who was at the forefront of evolution would be completely gutted if hit wrong.
So, the average defensive hunter would at least flinch a little when blocking a golem’s attack.
When his junior asked him if he was scared, Seung-eun Yoon replied like this.
-My brother told me not to be afraid. So I decided not to be afraid, just like he said.
Maybe this is how religion began.
Ahn Yoon-seung.
The 23-year-old soon found the right way to believe.
Analyze the good parts of your mentor and carefully make them your own.
With the skills he had accumulated in that way, he was able to successfully block the high-difficulty gate flood that had arrived in Seoul.
“Wow~ I didn’t know even the last boss would spit out cores!”
“How much is all this?”
“Oh my, selling this amount would be a lot of work. Hey.”
“Don’t worry. The manager told me that the guild has already received numerous calls to set up trade arrangements.”
“oh!”
“Well, if you sell the Infinite Power Core in bulk, it’s actually an item for which the buyer will pay a premium.”
Noisy.
After waiting for a moment, the remaining team members rush out from the open exit.
They all had refreshing smiles on their lips, clearly proving who had emerged victorious from the battle that had been going on for several days.
“At this rate, everyone should be able to afford to buy new equipment!”
“Mr. Yoon Seung, Mr. Ja Kyung. Now that you’re here, why can’t you refuse to receive the dividend?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Haha, yes~”
Well then, work must have been completed well, now I can just go home, wash my feet, and go to sleep.
Yun Seung, who was wiping away beads of sweat, suddenly had a thought.
First of all, I took the initiative to solve a minor problem (A-class golem dungeon) so as not to burden Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo unnecessarily… … .
In fact, even the fact that he was able to catch the golem, if you look back at the origins, was all thanks to that hunter.
If it weren’t for the fact that a certain S-class Awakened person had personally taken such great care of me, I wouldn’t have even thought of interfering with this situation.
“ah!”
In order to express his gratitude more sincerely, Yun Seung decided to sincerely reveal to the world the good deeds of Hunter that had brought him to this point.
“Ah! I finally found it. The exit was here.”
“uh!”
“Hello! This is creator Han Je-heon TV who contacted you earlier. I have an interview, so could you spare a moment of your time?”
The problem is that all these favors were not in the form that the other person wanted.

[Title: Hey, did you see Han Je-heon’s video this time?]
[detail :
Upload speed is sooooo fast
How on earth did you recruit the Neo 3 team by yourself? Lol
It was frustrating because I couldn’t find out what was going on inside because the interviews with the attackers were always cut short on public broadcasting.
Wow~~ The 30 minute full video is so good
Listening to the hunters’ testimonies, I heard that Ahn Yoon-seung was flying in this dungeon too.
This is the regular team member’s hope
[I guess bald people are strong, lol]
[Comments (22)]
[Anonymous: Is Brother Yoon Seung your friend? Use honorifics]
[Anonymous: I’m still dumbfounded at how one team contributed 58%; I think it would be difficult even with other monsters besides golems. ㄷㄷ]
[Anonymous: (Video capture.jpg)
Yun Seung said
‘I’ve seen Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo catch golems a few times before, and honestly, that was the biggest reason I overcame my trauma. That hunter caught golems so easily.’ 18:22]
[Anonymous: Legend]
[Anonymous: Hahaha, I was wondering how you managed to catch all the golems, but I guess you learned it from over that hunter’s shoulder.]
[Anonymous: But is the story that came out later possible?]
[Anonymous: Yeah]
[Anonymous: The first Korean 5th level or higher mutant F-class gate boss-level golem appeared and was killed by ripping out its heart with bare hands while wearing a suit <- Anyone can see that it's a joke, but if you add the words 'Kim Ki-ryeo Hunter' at the beginning, it becomes a joke right away]
[Anonymous: No, this kid Ahn Yoon-seung isn’t balding, he’s just balding. If you look at his school days, he had a full head of hair, but he just shaved it off for style ㅡㅡ]
[Author: Why are you so angry?]
.
.
.
Half a day has passed.
Around the time when the interview with the Neo 3 team commemorating the end of the Golem incident spread across the internet.
Ahn Yoon-seung went jogging in a park near his home on his first holiday in a long while.
-Tiring♪
But at that time.
An emergency text message arrives on Ahn Yoon-seung’s cell phone. It says that a Class D Red Gate has been created in a commercial alley in Mapo-gu.
‘D-class.’
It was a gate that was not a distance that I would normally go to, and above all, it was a gate that I would not have paid much attention to because of its low level.
‘Mapo?’
The key is location.
Looking at the map attached to the disaster text, the location of the gate happened to be very close to someone’s residence.
Well, I doubt there would be any problems with something like this D-class.
Yunseung headed to the scene with mild curiosity.
As expected from the Red Gate, which takes a while to open its ‘mouth’, the alley was quiet until he arrived.
After that, the passage was cleared with unknown staff from the association.
It’s so ordinary that it’s boring.
-Thump, thump, thump.
But if you hear something like this, it’s a different story.
The sole of a shoe that strikes the ground at a constant tempo.
Strangely enough, Ahn Yoon-seung was able to infer the identity of the approaching person just by hearing the anonymous footsteps.
Well, that guy usually walks at a similar pace even in a den of monsters that was like ice.
Whoosh!
Yunseung turned his head in the direction of the familiar sound. Then, someone’s image formed in his eyes.
The sight of an S-class hunter walking forward with a pure white envelope slung over his arm.
“Hey!”
“hmm?”
I never thought we’d meet like this!
He discovered an S-class hunter and approached him with a cheerful expression and shouted.
“Hello, big brother! Did you come here after seeing the Red Gate Alert? I appreciate your consideration, but there’s no need for you to take care of such insignificant monsters yourself. I just took care of them so you don’t have to bother me!”
And the other person’s reaction to this.
‘Uh… … . What the. What the heck is this… … .’
First of all, let me explain: the alien was just stopping by a nearby discount store… .
The items purchased are diluted soju and a small amount of dried snacks.
The fact that the body swap had failed was not a shock that could be shaken off in just a week, so he was still deeply troubled.
Of course, I didn’t have time to worry about things like dungeon breaks, but when I suddenly met Ahn Yoon-seung and he said something like that, I felt something strange inside.
Moreover, the strange remarks of the Earthling did not end here.
“Oh! And about what happened a little while ago… … .”
“uh?”
“You probably know since it was on the news, but, ahem. Our team swept the Golem Dungeon, right? But of course, this wasn’t something I did alone. In particular, there was a certain guild member who helped me out a lot… … .”
“uh.”
“There’s a hunter who uses some kind of psychic skill called Jagyeong, right? But that hunter really cheers you on from behind. And since you’ve been going through a lot this time, I felt like I had to tell you about it… … .”
The confusion that arose was resolved.
It’s the same thing that I don’t understand from beginning to end, but this is the urgent part.
“Excuse me, I haven’t been able to check the news lately for various reasons.”
“Oh my! Is that so?”
“What did you just say? Golem? Are you saying that you volunteered to subdue the golem?”
Aren’t you afraid of golems?
Yoon Seung replied with a strong voice. That was because you had already guided me first, and I had already overcome it a long time ago.
Besides, what I learned over the shoulder back then was so effective. These days, golems have become my preferred monster.
“Anyway, this is a gift I prepared, however small it may be, so I hope it cheers you up.”
While someone blinked dry eyes, Yoon Seung continued speaking in a cautious tone.
“Honestly, hyung, you’ve been feeling a bit down lately.”
“… … .”
“But my brother doesn’t like money, and he accepts rare magic stones that other people would happily give him like they’re rocks. So I’m trying to repay him in this way… .”
Energy, money, and rewards.
Given the intelligence level of some aliens, it would have been possible to roughly grasp the outline of the incident with just these fragmented elements.
But the alien soon gives up on the idea.
Because of the stress of being trapped in an F-class body, I’m currently having a hard time even using my brain.
“Uh, um, uh… yeah.”
Although he didn’t really understand anything, he praised the Earthling as if he understood everything and left.
Of course, Yoon Seung was happy with that alone, so it was a conclusion that left no problems in terms of mutual satisfaction.
