The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 214

Episode 214. Knockout Tournament

Day 5 of the seclusion life.

It’s surprising how much time has passed already. However, Earth is a planet with a smaller radius and a faster rotation period than Alpha Uri, so it’s inevitable that the days feel shorter.

“Oh my, it’s finally over!”

anyway.

Good news. After five days of intense concentration, I’ve finally finished preparing the dummy.

-A place where no one passes by

Now I was looking for a place to have the surgery for the next step, and while I was searching the internet for information, that article caught my eye again.

[The controversy surrounding the Hunter Tournament… Experts with different opinions.]

It’s a duel event that utilizes those with awakened abilities.

At first, I thought it was just a fun game and why they were making such a fuss, but after looking into it, I found that the Hunter Tournament announced by China this time had more interests involved than I had expected.

America’s status began to decline with Brooklyn’s disappearance (actually his death).

People around the world were even discussing the uselessness of the association, questioning whether the American hunter industry could really function properly when it could not even properly protect the precious human resources of S-class healers.

And at this time.

China, which had been waiting for an opportunity, came out with the card called tournament.

Taking advantage of the loss of trust in the United States due to the Brooklyn incident, he’s trying to gain an advantage in the competition for supremacy by perfectly mediating duels between high-level Hunters.

However, hosting this tournament was not an easy task.

· You’re making the hunters fight! What if someone gets hurt?

· They’re crazy to put high-level personnel who are supposed to protect the safety of citizens in something like that.

· What a barbaric idea.

Because entertainment using people with abilities was subject to much criticism.

But despite the numerous accusations, China has maintained consistency in its arguments.

As if they could fill any void in Brooklyn, very confidently.

We have the means to take responsibility for and treat all Hunters’ injuries, so don’t worry about the danger.

The stadium’s barriers were also built very thoroughly to prevent spectators from getting hurt.

If you want to say that it’s inhumane for people to fight each other, then first close the shutters on UFC stadiums and then talk.

Dueling is a pastime that has a long history with mankind dating back to the Greek era before Christ. What right do you have to tell me to give up?

-中: Who forced the hunters to fight? We said we would do it with their consent?

Moreover, while China boasted about the safety of the stadium, it offered an additional lure to attract the luxury goods.

In fact, the so-called low-level awakeners, those who are between F and D ranks, can still easily obtain video footage of their magic on various platforms.

Because the Chinese tournament only selects advanced players with B-class or higher abilities as participants.

A league that hosts matches between Class B teams. The Silver Tiger War.

And the Battle of the Yellow Dragon (黃龍戰) started with A-class monsters and even allowed the participation of S-class monsters.

China’s argument was this:

The skills of the higher-level Awakened cannot be compared to computer graphics that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and those who have witnessed its intensity and vitality firsthand naturally acknowledge the artistry of its abilities.

The world has suddenly become an age of supernatural powers, but if we were not going to be able to fully experience their talents, was it really necessary for us to be born as modern humans?

“Competition for hegemony? A show of force? America’s claims are not true. We simply want to show the world the mysterious talents of the awakened people.”

A member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the People’s Republic of China reaffirms the value of the Hunter Tournament in a powerful tone.

As the video of his speech was released, public opinion around the world increasingly supported China’s actions…

【China, IHT (International Hunter Tournament) rewards revealed, becoming a hot topic】

No matter how wonderfully you build the Colosseum, if there are no fighters to fight in it, isn’t it all in vain?

Soon China will be home to high-level awakened people overseas.

That is, they even went so far as to reveal a delicious price for the participants of the Hwangryongjeon, who were treated as precious due to their small numbers.

[Participation thank you gift exclusively for top-tier awakeners]

[Item Box (Rare)]

Are you planning to make people into a spectacle for this kind of money?

There was too much money at stake to bear such stubbornness.

***

“The basic thank-you gift will only be given to those who win at least one round, and S-class participants who end up with a loss will not be given any prizes other than the entry fee?”

A few hours later.

Kim Ki-ryeo’s one-room apartment.

I leaned my back against the faded, old wallpaper and fiddled with my cell phone.

The text that filled the LCD screen was the announcement of an event that had recently become a hot topic.

[Hwangryongjeon Ranking Rewards]

[1st place: [Great Sea Spirit Trident]]

[2nd place: [20 bottles of God’s Drops]]

[3rd place: [Sacred Tree Sapling]]

For some reason, they all have the word “God” in them. It looks like the organizers selected the products based on the concept.

Anyway, the page I was looking at now contained detailed rules for the game and information about various rewards. When I came across the identity of the third place prize that China had revealed, my fingertips automatically stopped moving.

“Oh my, the sacred tree sapling is the third prize?”

A drop of water from God and a trident with a long name.

What on earth are they that made the sacred tree sapling, which is considered epic, get pushed down to third place?

“hmm.”

Use your thumbs to type product names into the search box.

The result was… … .

【Free Bulletin Board】

· The official name of the Great God Trident is ‘Triaina’.

· Crazy;; You’re offering Triaina as a prize??

· Why does China keep calling items by their own names?

· Honestly, I didn’t care whether they held an event or not, but wow, what the heck is Triaina? ㅋㅋㅋ

A hot reaction.

It seemed that the prize for this event was something that even the most skilled S-class hunters would find tempting.

As you can see, opinions like China is crazy are popping up on various bulletin boards used by the Awakened.

“Let’s see. The specs of the magic tool… … .”

A blue spear that can create a massive amount of water with a single swing.

But the true nature of that epic item was something else.

“Oh my. So that’s why people were making a fuss.”

Triaina is one of the few cases where epic-level performance has been fully revealed to the world, and its detailed effects are still proudly recorded in the Pixie Analyzer’s database.

[Enhances user’s muscle strength when worn (approximately 20%)]

[‘Huge’ additional damage when attacking with a fire attribute demon (stabbing)]

[Destruction Immunity]

[Skill power increased by 25%]

[Special skill ‘Tempest’ can be used after 10 days of charging]

There are as many as five attractive points.

Now, it’s easy to understand why hunters were excited by its appearance.

‘Even if you leave everything else out, that 25% skill power boost is something you don’t see very often. It’s amazing that this much magic can be improved with just one weapon.’

Of course, I would like to add my opinion as a great wizard.

However, magical tools with such functions are likely to have the disadvantage of increasing the amount of magical power consumed in the body when worn.

Anyway, the ones who use epic weapons are the top A- to S-class awakened players.

So a slight decrease in fuel economy wouldn’t seem to be a problem, since unlike some trashy bodies, they don’t go down with just one or two big moves.

“haha.”

For some reason, I suddenly feel uneasy.

I typed on my phone keyboard, suppressing my rising irritation.

This is because we still haven’t found out the information about the second prize, [Drops of God].

‘Oh, the reaction here is also quite hot?’

But what on earth was [Drops of God]… … .

Its true identity was none other than a special item exclusive to the Awakened.

It means a liquid that has an effect very similar to alcohol, and in fact has the function of making the person intoxicated.

If you are a new human who has awakened more strongly than a certain level, you will no longer be able to drink regular alcohol, so even if you drink commercial alcohol such as beer or soju to the point of being full, you will not have any reaction.

God’s Droplets appear in a magic stone bottle with a capacity of approximately 800ml.

And it is said that it is so dangerous that even a single drop can make an S-class Awakened person dizzy, and it can even send an ordinary person to the emergency room if they swallow just one drop.

· 20 bottles of [Drops of God]??!

· I applied for the Hwangryongjeon. Is this right to give priority to overseas participants? I beat all the S-ranks. LOL

└ Are you going to fall behind?

· I don’t think Koreans would be able to take it. The US has a high rate of alcoholism, so there are quite a few people who woke up and forcibly quit drinking. I think Enzo of the Spectrum might be targeting that.

But why are these guys… so crazy about that…?

【Free Bulletin Board】

· Honestly, it’s obvious that China will sneakily take the Yellow Dragon Championship as a host country privilege.

· Haha, there’s a 100% chance that it’s a fabrication. There’s no way they’d give that to other countries for free.

· Then the most you can aim for is a water drop.

· Guys, the 4th to 16th place rewards are also out. This is crazy. These guys are really throwing money away.

[Drops of God] are items that only appear in the dungeons of Kaifeng City, China, so there is no way to obtain them in other countries.

So these days, ‘item diplomacy’ has become popular to replace panda diplomacy.

China monopolizes these goods and makes huge profits, while also giving them to some countries as a gesture of friendship.

When I searched, information about that rare item poured out, but even after reading every word, the doubt in my head did not go away.

Why do the wizards here spend billions of dollars to ingest poison themselves?

‘If I say something like that, people on Earth will probably think of me as a caveman. I don’t know exactly what getting drunk does, so I can’t get a feel for it.’

Kim Ki-ryeo’s brain has no memory of alcohol consumption, so there is not enough reference material.

But it wasn’t something that was completely incomprehensible.

Alpha Uranians also once enjoyed toxic substances, but in modern times, they have simply been transformed into mind-altering magic that is harmless to the body.

“Alcohol~”

I had a brief, positive interest in the Earth’s entertainment culture.

I’ve even thought about getting my hands on some drops of God in the future if I ever get the chance.

But the idea ends there.

In fact, no archmage has any intention of participating in that international tournament.

-Gulp.

I turned off the cell phone I was looking at and got up from my seat.

After that, I opened the refrigerator and looked around the lower compartment to see if there was anything I could eat.

Didn’t you realize again not long ago that if you keep whining about fake topics that barely survive on Temppal, you could end up in an unimaginable mess?

‘Thank you so much for teaching me a lesson… … . You little Morgan… … .’

The Copycat City incident has made me decide not to act rashly anymore.

Only when there is a truly 100% chance of obtaining a corpse will he dare to go out.

Esther described this life of not leaving the house as ‘being a loser’, but she had a lot of money saved up anyway, so what’s wrong with pursuing some level of safety?

Since the event has such huge rewards, S-class players from various countries will be appearing in it, which is unusual.

So, it would be best for the level manipulator to stay in the corner of the room to avoid any unnecessary accidents.

‘Let’s not act rashly out of needless greed.’

I repeated my new code of conduct and took out some nutritious food from the refrigerator.

The tofu left over from buying a 1+1 deal. And the seasoned seaweed that I can’t remember when I opened.

I’m not particularly hungry, so this is enough as a snack.

But at this moment, a familiar cell phone ringtone suddenly rings through the dry one-room air.

[Kang Chang-ho☎]

What are you doing at this hour?

“hello?”

I answered the phone while holding a package of tofu in one hand.

But as the conversation progressed, the corners of my lips, which had been fixed in place, began to turn downward more and more.

-Ah, Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo. Can I talk to you now?

“yes.”

-It’s nothing special, but I have something to tell you. I think next Saturday… … I need to free up some time. If you have other plans, cancel them right now.

Wait, what if it’s next Saturday?

-I’m planning to leave for China at that time.

“China.”

-But come to think of it, if something happens while I’m away, it’ll be a big deal. This time, should I just invite our contractor along?

It’s Satan’s trick.

But I was not swayed by temptation and tried to stick to the plan of seclusion I had just made.

But as a great magician, there is such a thing as dignity. How can a magician make a promise to himself so lightly!

“Oh, that’s it. Next week I… … .”

-By the way, I believe that anyone who has free time enough to go out on a raid at 2 AM will naturally follow this schedule.

“… … .”

-And one more thing I want to tell you is that I’m in front of your house right now. Surely you’re not trying to bother me by giving me a strange answer at such an important time, are you?

I have to break it.

When plans go awry, everyone gets a little stressed out. But the mental strain that takes away from your lifespan is nothing compared to instant death.
