The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 29

Episode 29: The Time of the Beast (1)

Every time you level up, you get a free stat. That’s the most important stat for Kang-hoo, the Stamina stat.

These items are called stat-proportional items, and are items that are evaluated as being very efficient.

Of course, once you no longer see the proportional effect, the appeal starts to diminish.

But you don’t have to worry about it because by then you’ll likely be wearing much better items.

In other words, it could be said that it was better than any other item to wear as an aid to the growth process. So, without any hesitation, I took off the Prelude to Madness gloves and changed them into the Soul Mate gloves.

【As the wind leads – Shoes】

【Rating: 5th grade】

【Agility +50】

【Your permanent movement speed remains increased by 33%.】

‘I guess I should change my shoes without hesitation.’

Before Kang-hoo took off his shoes, he checked the shoes he was wearing again. There is nothing wrong with being meticulous.

【Shoes of the Tracker – Shoes】

【Rating: 6th grade】

【Agility +25】

【When chasing a designated target, movement speed increases by 25%.】

‘also.’

From any perspective, the performance of the new shoes is definitely good.

Kang-hoo immediately changed his shoes. He could sell the shoes he was wearing before.

since.

All the items recovered from dead hunters had duplicate parts or were of low efficiency.

So I classified them all as items for sale. I guess if I sold them all, I would easily make 500 million won.

Kang-hoo didn’t care how much the loot Yoon Sang-mi had collected was worth.

Because it is her domain. The perfect separation of rewards was also one of Kang-hoo’s basic beliefs.

Booooooo!

The safety bus continued to run south and run again.

The bus driver who had been bleeding also seemed to regain his composure after the bleeding stopped and the internal situation was resolved.

Moreover, Kang-hoo had given her a generous 2 million won to cover driving and medical expenses.

He had to press hard on the accelerator, pulling out all the strength he had. Thanks to that, the comfortable ride continued.

Although there was a bloody smell inside the bus, Kang-hoo didn’t care at all. His expression was calm.

Yoon Sang-mi would occasionally wipe her nose, but she quickly got used to the smell because it was familiar to her.

It was after stopping at a rest stop that the silence inside the bus began to fill with sound.

Kang-hoo bought a can of coffee and Yoon-sang-mi bought a can of beer, and from that moment on, they started talking a little.

Of course, as always, it was Yoon Sang-mi who spoke first. Kang-hoo was usually in a listening position.

“Brother.”

“no.”

“… … Huh? I just called you oppa. What do you hate about that? I haven’t even said anything yet?”

“Let’s play individually.”

“What the heck, you bro. Are you scared? Did you learn something like mind reading?”

“No. Whenever you call me oppa seriously, I always ask if we should form a team together.”

“Tch. That’s really expensive.”

Yoon Sang-mi pouts as she is caught before she can even tell what she really thinks.

From Yoon Sang-mi’s perspective, Kang-hoo was a talent too valuable to be left alone. Of course, this is from her perspective.

His skills are too good.

He seems like the kind of person who can solve any problem no matter where he is thrown.

He seemed fearless.

Rather, it was I who had many thoughts.

Even in the battle on the bus earlier, I was overwhelmed by the numerical disadvantage despite having sufficient skill.

If Kang-hoo hadn’t aggressively laid the groundwork, I honestly thought about getting off the bus.

Because you can’t gauge your opponent’s skill level.

If he had been really strong, he could have died on the spot. But Kang-hoo’s movements were unstoppable.

‘Maybe the relationship we’re in now is this close because it’s rare. Let’s just be satisfied.’

Yoon Sang-mi controlled her mind.

Looking at Kang-hoo, it doesn’t seem like he’ll have smooth interpersonal relationships with people around him. He doesn’t seem to know much either.

In that case, it seemed that even this level of distance could be considered very close.

Yoon Sang-mi changed the subject.

“What do you plan to do when you arrive in Ulsan?”

“I have to think about it after seeing the situation. But I don’t want to fall victim to fireworks.”

Kang-hoo answered calmly.

Kang-hoo asked back in a subtle manner, perhaps slightly bothered by the abrupt ending.

“you?”

“I’m trying to find some useful ‘sparks.’ There are quite a few sparks in places like this who only dream of nothing.”

“So you’re looking for a bullet shield?”

“If you put it in a more plausible way, please accept it as plausible. What if you hit the nail on the head like that?”

Yoon Sang-mi laughed.

Because my true intentions were revealed.

She is a case of mobilizing all the resources around her to achieve her goals. She does not care about the means and methods.

This is a completely different route from Kang-hoo, who wants to move separately and wait for an opportunity separately.

“Drink in moderation. There is no sword more fragile than one soaked in alcohol.”

“At least I’m not walking around with a pale face like some people, so don’t worry. Huh.”

She glanced at Kang-hoo’s face.

It’s definitely white. How can there be so little blood even after such a heated battle?

This man lives with a wall built around him as if he has all the tragedy, sadness, and pain in the world.

Yoon Sang-mi wanted to look inside Kang-hoo.

I guess it’s because I have a heart like a frog that becomes more curious because it never tries to show it.

However, it seemed like it would still take time for Kang-hoo to open his heart. It seemed like it would take a lot of effort.

* * *

After arriving at Ulsan Intercity Bus Terminal.

“If I get a chance, I’ll see you again.”

“I think you’ve lined up for Lee Ye-rin. Then we’ll see each other often.”

“If we have this kind of connection, how about exchanging contact information? It’s not like I’m bothering you, right?”

“I won’t do it because it’s this much of a relationship.”

“Wow! My pride is hurt. Even though I look like this, there are a lot of guys who ask for my number.”

“Then give me your number. I don’t plan on giving you mine.”

“Anyway, I said the character is clear. Okay. I’ll go!”

“Don’t block my path later.”

“Nam-isa! Don’t block my path or my brother’s. I’ll catch him.”

Although she turned around with an angry expression, a smile soon appeared on Yoon Sang-mi’s face.

The more Kang-hoo treats her like that, the more she wants to get closer to him.

Since I had a crush on her from the start, it seems like she is being dismissive no matter what I say.

In an instant, Yoon Sang-mi disappeared.

Kang-hoo also immediately left the bus terminal, which was crowded with mercenaries.

The mercenaries who gather to target Gong Tae-soo are not comrades. They are all potential competitors.

If you’re unlucky, you might end up fighting against Gong Tae-su, if you think he’s a nuisance.

Gong Tae-soo’s official schedule has been shared. He will soon begin conquering a nearby dungeon.

The reason mercenaries are flocking to Ulsan Station and the bus terminal is because they are close to the dungeon.

Unlike other mercenaries who are moving diligently near the dungeon.

Kang-hoo took a completely different route. He went to the roof of a building with a good view of the dungeon.

The reason was simple: I had no intention of targeting Gong Tae-soo here.

The other mercenaries’ plans were obvious.

After confirming that Gong Tae-soo and his raid team had entered the dungeon.

Completely clean up the area around the dungeon while the outside information is cut off.

It is to ‘clean’ it.

Next, the plan is to wait for Gong Tae-su’s group to finish clearing the dungeon and then immediately attack them.

It was also the most certain way to target Gong Tae-soo.

Because the entrance and exit to the dungeon are the same here.

There is absolutely no other way out.

Right then.

“Everyone, get out of the way! Those who block the path of General Gong Tae-soo, know that you won’t be able to break even a single bone!”

A loud voice was heard.

It was the sound of a large number of Red Blood members moving around. One of the subordinates with a loud voice seemed to be shouting.

At the center of the group was Gong Tae-su. He was a magician hunter with an impressive golden glove on both hands.

The sight of mercenaries swallowing their saliva upon seeing Gong Tae-su was seen.

Although they were in perfect camouflage in plain clothes, Kang-hoo could clearly see and feel their origins and birth.

Of course, that wasn’t the problem.

‘also.’

Things were going as Kang-hoo had expected.

I looked at Gong Tae-soo, but he didn’t show any constellation information.

Rather, there was a constellation that had contracted with the subordinates who were guarding Gong Tae-su.

‘Did you make the mask from scratch? I don’t know how you did it, but it’s really cool.’

Kang-hoo nodded his head.

The Gong Tae-su you see now is not Gong Tae-su. It is a fake that has Gong Tae-su’s face.

I don’t know where the real one is, but one thing is certain: he is not the man that everyone sees.

The thinking shouldn’t stop here.

The mercenaries will take up positions around the area until the fake governor appears.

In that case, it was highly likely that Gong Tae-su would have created a larger encirclement so that he could eliminate these mercenaries all at once.

How many people would want to let go of those who came to kill them?

It would be even stranger if the Hunter, known as the Butcher of Ulsan, let him go alive.

‘Let’s find it.’

Kang-hoo looked down at his surroundings earnestly from the rooftop.

If you were to look at all this situation, you would wonder how anxious Gong Tae-soo would be.

The plan is well laid out for the stomach, and if things go as planned, it is only a matter of time before you catch a moonfish.

Then, it is clear that he will be watching the situation from somewhere nearby and waiting for the optimal timing for a counterattack.

‘That hotel isn’t bad either.’

Kang-hoo specifically selected a hotel that overlooked the dungeon.

There might be a real Gong Tae-su staying somewhere over there. Of course, there must be a lot of mercenaries in that hotel.

‘Let’s do some shopping first.’

Kang-hoo called attention.

My heart fluttered for a moment and I quickly looked around, but nothing would happen right away.

The dungeon that Gong Tae-soo originally planned to conquer took at least one day to conquer.

That is, there would be no strategic problem even if I took some time to go somewhere else.

There’s a market nearby, so I stop by and sell all the loot I acquired from the battle on the bus.

I was thinking of buying one useful item based on that balance.

Because if I sold everything, I thought my balance would be around 2 billion won.

At that point, you should definitely buy at least one tier 4 item. If possible, it would be better to get a ring with lots of room to wear it.

An hour later.

Kang-hu, who searched the entire Ulsan 3rd Market, chose the one item he liked the most.

It was a ring that seemed like it would be a meaningful item for me, who was exposed to mana hypersensitivity and pain.

In fact, it was something I had always wanted, but I couldn’t find it in the market at all.

That’s right… … .
