The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 152

Episode 152. Nothing is impossible

One Wednesday.

Korea Hunter Association Headquarters.

“Mr. Seonwooyeon, have you ever bought a house or something?”

The black-haired hunter opened his eyes wide after hearing my words.

Until just now, they were just talking about whether or not the association regulations would be revised this year.

“A house? If you mean buying or selling, I haven’t done it yet.”

“aha.”

“But why are we suddenly talking about home… … .”

“I’m thinking about moving these days.”

recent.

I was thinking about moving to a new place.

During that time, it was difficult to move house carelessly because I had lost all of my physical memories, but now that I had recalled most of the information related to Kim Ki-ryeo, there was no need to be obsessed with that one-room apartment anymore.

‘What I got back from meeting Lee Hwa-young was mostly impressive memories, but of course there are still some holes in common sense.’

The room is small or the wallpaper is old.

Honestly, I didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable about this because I’ve lived in harsh environments before.

But security. Yeah. I’m starting to lose patience with security issues.

That old building doesn’t even have a single security guard on duty, so all kinds of troubles happen every day.

‘Let’s change our residence as soon as the lifespan of the barrier we’ve set up ends.’

So before I sought out a new home, I sought advice from the planet’s natives.

“I don’t want much, I just want a house with reasonable security and a bathtub. What kind of house should I buy with these conditions?”

But as soon as Seon Woo-yeon heard what I said, he looked shocked and asked back.

“Right now… … . there’s no bathtub at home…?”

I don’t know why you’re reacting like that.

If you look into Kim Ki-ryeo’s brain, you will find that this body has never once lived in a house with a bathtub.

I didn’t answer Seonwooyeon’s question.

‘I always think about this, but there’s no need to show off your alien side.’

I just changed the subject naturally.

The story goes that we’re back to the original topic of conversation.

“By the way, is the printing finished?”

“Oh, yes. Here it is.”

Jiiing.

Seonwooyeon handed me a piece of A4 paper that had just come out of the copier.

I looked over the papers and nodded. If I had this, my work was done.

“Thank you. See you next time.”

“Yes, Hunter. Be careful.”

As I come out, the eyes of some Awakened people passing by are drawn to me.

But I ignored it and walked down the hallway, focusing only on the contents of the documents.

Where do hunters usually hone their skills?

In the past, I used to just think of places like F-class gates, but in fact, that wasn’t the only solution.

No matter how easy the gate is, it is ultimately someone’s workplace. In short, it is a place where money is made.

There are so many lower-level hunters that guilds compete with each other just to enter a single gate. If a higher-level hunter were to take over hunting grounds unnecessarily, it would certainly not be a good thing.

“Ahem.”

That’s the original food chain. Even the lowest members of an ecosystem shouldn’t be trampled on carelessly.

So, several major cities with a clear rate of lower-level gates close to 100% were operating [Special Gyms] as a rule.

A space exclusively for hunters, aimed at training skills and sparring between Awakened people.

By the way, I heard that here, you can easily rent equipment that is often found at gates, such as swords or spears.

Wouldn’t this be the perfect support for modern people who are not accustomed to cold weapons?

… The introduction has become very long.

First of all, let me say this straight away. I have never been interested in this type of gym system.

Anyway, since the magic that F-class can use is only a small amount of magic, there was no need for a large space to practice.

Even if there was a situation where I had to test magic in real life.

Because such cases usually occurred infrequently, every few months.

‘If you sweep the beginner hunting grounds every day, it’s okay. It’s just that you touch an F-rank once in a while. Who would care?’

But in just a few hours, I found myself having to go to the gym I had no interest in before.

“Phew.”

I pressed my hand against the bridge of my nose as I recalled the incident that occurred the day before.

After the summoner’s attack accompanied by Demilich.

Because this side has become certain of a fact.

[Hydra] and [Surprise Box!].

It seemed that these shallow means alone would not be able to completely guarantee future safety.

So I came up with a new plan a while ago.

We’ve seen how powerful Earth’s epics are through Hydra…

‘hmm.’

While I’m at it, I thought it might be a good idea to start collecting epic items.

‘Not bad.’

Yeah, it definitely wasn’t a bad idea.

Hydra is a thing that boasts quite a bit of power on Earth. If you were to paint it with a magical tool of the same level, it would have power that even an F-rank would not be able to ignore.

Even if the main body is weak, if you set up the equipment well, you can play the role of a pseudo-sorcerer.

So I’ve been eyeing ‘that epic item’ for a while now, and I need to shell out a few billion won to buy it… … .

for a moment.

At this point, some may wonder. After all, this person often repairs items on Earth using the knowledge he acquired before reincarnation.

[reflector]

[Effect: For attacks of Class A or lower, reverses the direction of magic.]

Of course, it brought out the crazy performance of the 1 million won mirror lying around on the counter.

Even the incident of Jeong Ha-seong being put to sleep by a sleeping pill that was said to only be effective against B-class people.

But this practice, which had been going on for a long time, was actually nothing more than a cheap trick.

If you force the performance up, the entire lifespan of the magic tool will be shortened from that day on.

‘Of course, it’s a type of overclocking.’

Even the Hydra I was holding now could be sharpened to cut S-class swords if I wanted to, but if I did, there was a chance that the sword would be shattered with a single swing.

There is a reason why the saying “cheap things are expensive” exists.

‘There is a limit to using low-grade items as your main equipment.’

So what?

Ultimately, in order to maintain stable self-preservation, you have no choice but to purchase somewhat expensive equipment.

“f*ck.”

Okay, this is the main point.

I was tired of waiting for the dragon’s lungs, so I decided to bring in a new means of protecting my body.

And the price of the magic tool you saw here is a whopping 3.7 billion!

Because of this, we had to earn an additional amount of approximately 3.48 billion won in the future.

This size could have been somewhat smaller if the base dividend from the Kagoshima Raid had been added.

Unfortunately, since Japan is a country famous for being slow in processing government affairs, the reward for hunting has not yet been received.

From the beginning, the process of paying hunting rewards to foreigners there was extremely difficult.

Complex tax handling. Basic research in case of financial crime. Determining the value of dungeon byproducts. Hiring a demolition worker. Starting work. Bargaining with the guild. Auctions.

Japan sticks to an analog approach in all of these procedures, which adds to the delays that occur here.

The only thing I touched was a normal black dragon that I killed when I first proved my abilities. And since it was only a boss, its contribution to the strategy was low, so the payout for the Japanese side wouldn’t be high anyway.

So, forget about that settlement and for now, you’ll have to fill your wealth in some other way.

‘The money in my bank account right now is almost all tied up in savings. In reality, I have no spare funds.’

In the end, it’s money, money, money.

And then there’s that damn money thing.

By the way, I think there is a new word called ‘Donmisae’ on this planet.

You’re a money-crazy bastard…

Honestly, if you’re not crazy about money, aren’t you a madman?

“Why is the association making its regulations so cumbersome?”

I was lost in thought for a moment, then came right back to the point.

Earn money for epic gear!

Originally, this goal was to be gradually achieved by utilizing the hydra’s toxicity.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that there was a bit of a problem with the plan to hunt directly.

Every time I entered a dungeon, I always brought a bodyguard with me according to a contract… … .

– Wait a minute, looking at the situation going around, it seems like you’re all trying to break your oath as knights. Let’s cooperate. I’ll help you kill Kim Ki-ryeo, so let me go alive.

As you can see, trust in Kang Chang-ho has been shattered once again through the recent Kagoshima Gate incident.

As soon as the Japanese S-class units went on the offensive, that person turned his face away and quickly joined the opposing side.

‘It’s a bit much to go out with a guy who only takes 3 seconds to betray.’

Besides, with the current equipment, the monsters that can be safely caught are at best C-class. It’s hard to make a lot of money with this anyway.

A situation where you need to make a fortune overnight, but your body is extremely weak.

‘I can’t help it.’

At times like these, there was nothing more efficient than parasitizing other hunters.

Of course, excluding Ahn Yoon-seung.

Because he had already sucked everything he could out of the water in the name of skill training, there was no more bait to catch.

‘It’s a pity.’

It is impossible to use Yun Seung unless you are requesting a brief collaboration for a national emergency like Siren.

So now is the time to use the resources you’ve been saving.

It’s about using really big guys to dramatically increase your wealth.

“ha.”

I took a deep breath and entered a building.

“Excuse me. I contacted you in advance… … .”

“Ah, Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo! Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you.”

Finally, we arrived at a guild in Seoul.

A staff member wearing a beige cardigan guided the guests to the reception room with a friendly smile.

A pair of single sofas facing each other. A small tea table.

Compared to large guilds like Koreatop, it is quite plain, but I think this interior is cozy, so it is okay.

“hmm.”

Then all we have to do now is wait for the guild representative to arrive… … .

Two hours later.

I was drinking the barley green tea the staff gave me.

But suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the end of the hallway.

And after waiting for a moment, the closed door in front of me suddenly opened to the outside.

“ah……!”

Someone comes rushing inside, catching their breath.

A 5:5 karma that is as straight as one’s innate character.

Hair that is so gray that it looks gray at first glance.

There is not a single scar on his clearly visible face, proving his strength.

Also a young Awakened one wearing a coat woven from demon scales on his shoulders.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo?”

I glanced up at the young man who came into the room.

“… Hello. Why did you come all the way here… … No, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”

Yes, he is Jeong Ha-seong.

I never thought that I would come across a place called Garion Guild on my own two feet.

***

Korea’s S-class hunter.

Jeong Ha-seong was currently in a state of confusion.

Early in the morning. I received information from the guild secretary’s office that Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo wanted to meet me.

‘That hunter is me?’

But the moment I received the call was right before the gate collapsed.

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”

Jeong Ha-seong ultimately prioritized work over entertaining guests.

Of course, since there are many variables in a dungeon, it is difficult to estimate exactly how long it will take to clear it, so I told Kim Ki-ryeo to reschedule it later… … .

“are you okay.”

The other party rejected it.

He replied that he would wait at the company whenever the raid was over.

Thanks to that, Jeong Ha-seong was able to have this meeting without wasting even a little time, but at this point, he was starting to feel uneasy.

‘Why did you suddenly visit?’

Come to think of it, this is the first time that hunter has contacted me first.

‘Could it be that I made a mistake again… …?’

Kim Ki-ryeo used to scold himself every time he saw her, so now he unconsciously cringes even for no reason.

“Ha Seong-ah.”

But what came out next was quite different from what I expected.

“You… … . Now that I think about it, you said you wanted to work as a team with me before. It was around last winter.”

“Yes, I did.”

“Have you changed your mind yet?”

“yes?”

“That’s what I’m going to say from now on.”

widely.

He put down the green tea cup he was holding on the table and got to the main point.

“I’ll be straight to the point since you’re probably busy. It’s not entirely impossible for us to form a team.”

Perhaps, the main point that is very tempting.

“So I came today to hear your opinion.”

“yes?”

“Anyway, let me start with this. Jeong Ha-seong, do you still want to work with me?”

That cold hunter suddenly asked me for my opinion about the team.

Ha Seong thought for a moment.

Was there a monster that caused hallucinations in the dungeon I just visited?
