The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 288

Episode 288. World Artifact Fair

One hundred million… .

Even if I check again, it doesn’t change.

Until the morning, my balance, which was at rock bottom (based on the average of an S-class hunter), increased by about 30 times in an instant.

A life where money piles up in your bank account just by sitting still.

‘The depositor’s name is… IMABARI?’

Is this something like a mistaken remittance?

At first I thought it was a mistake, but as soon as I checked the depositor’s name, I remembered something.

‘no way!’

This is the distribution of [Kagoshima Dragon Raid] that I had forgotten about.

‘I heard through the Japanese association that the work was delayed at the time. It really took several months for it to be finished.’

But isn’t this a bit excessive as a reward for a dragon hunter?

A hundred billion. A hundred billion indeed.

This amount of money was a distribution that even an alien who was ignorant of the ways of the world would not readily accept.

‘What if I accidentally pressed 0 and then come back later and say I’m going to walk away?’

I contacted the association right away, my hands trembling.

When a hunter returns from overseas, the settlement is always made through a government agency. I wanted to confirm this through the people of Earth who must know about this remittance.

-Yes. I will help you with your inquiry. Before I can answer, I need to verify your identity. Could you please tell me the 8-digit issuance number on the back of your Hunter ID card?

However, during the process of contacting the call center, I found out that there were more IDs that needed to be restored.

This one has a good memory, at least for information that has high usability value, so it doesn’t matter right now.

“VC01LYH7.”

-Hunter, what is your name?

“This is Kim Ki-ryeo.”

-Uh. Huh? Yes, okay. Then please wait and I will reply to you today… .

The call will be disconnected soon.

And after waiting a little longer, the counselor I had connected with sent me a text message.

[Internal verification results show that the deposit was normal ^^]

Now that it has been confirmed, the physical body is no longer the subject.

‘What a rice cake!’

The various search engines on this planet say:

It is said that South Korea is currently living in an era of low interest rates.

But even so, if it’s such a huge deposit, wouldn’t the interest be in the tens of millions per month just by simple calculation?

At this point, things like collapsed residences were no longer a problem.

In a capitalist society, because there is money.

A situation where, if you really wanted to, you could disappear into a quiet village by the sea right now.

‘Disciple training and Nabal, throw them away! Hahaha. Retire immediately!’

It was around this time that he was trying to betray his temporary landlord (Jung Ha-seong) without hesitation, unaware of the favor he had received.

Twinkle.

The phone in my hand hasn’t lost its brightness yet as it hasn’t passed the 60 seconds of standby time.

Rationally, I would have planned to retire immediately after receiving a huge dividend.

I wanted to squeeze it though.

【Today’s Economic Headlines】

[World Artifact Expo held in Tokyo, Japan]

That article has been lingering in my mind for a while now.

I rubbed the screen of my phone, which was still on, to double-check something.

Then what you see are a few pictures.

In addition to numerous words, the economic newspaper article included photographs of specific items.

A closer look at the text reveals that the Tokyo event will also feature a special auction of valuable – epic – items to heighten citizen interest in dungeon artifacts.

Therefore, the ‘that’ you see on the screen right now will also be an item that will be up for auction.

‘hmm.’

A pitch-black color that doesn’t reflect even a single ray of light.

And a wide cloth that appears to be about 60cm wide and 60cm long.

It’s a bit ambiguous since we can’t use our senses of touch and hearing when dealing with simple photographs, but I feel like I know some of the specific items I saw in this article.

‘To be exact, it means Alpha Uri fabric.’

And it can never be cheap.

If the black cloth is indeed an Alpha Uric acid artifact, then the material would have significant significance on Earth, even if only for its seemingly simple effects.

‘Maybe it’s worth more than the [Hydra] I have.’

If you decide to buy that piece of cloth, your overflowing balance will melt away in an instant.

But even though this series of events was all predictable.

In fact, the fabric I found that was so swaying was actually a decent item.

“An artifact auction.”

If I could just get my hands on that, I could gain some competitive variables in my life, even in the F-class of Burgers. What should I do with it?

I was in deep thought.

But the conclusion came sooner than expected.

Of course, if this trillion was the result of working hard for 100 years and breaking one’s limbs, things would have been different.

‘It’s public money anyway, so why don’t I just go and look at the items for the experience?’

The human brain is tricky.

Perhaps because the money came rolling in suddenly, I didn’t feel any great attachment to my current balance.

Because the process of building wealth was not accompanied by pain.

So I decided to scrap my hasty retirement plans and take a look around the artifact market for a while.

If you spend money on items, you won’t be able to buy or sell your residence for a while, but that’s okay.

‘If it’s not enough, Ha-seong can just live off of my house!’

This one wasn’t a black-haired beast, but it was an alpha-uri…

Just 10 minutes ago, he had been telling me to hurry up and get out of someone else’s residence, but now a parasitic wizard has turned his attitude around like turning the palm of his hand because he is greedy for items.

That’s why you have to be careful when bringing living things into your home.

***

23:00 UTC. Tokyo, Japan.

“Wow~”

“There are so many people.”

“You know, Guild Master. Is it possible that LIИE isn’t working right now? For some reason, Iori’s response is delayed.”

Today marks the opening day of the International Artifact Fair.

This event, usually held in the national capital, lasts for two to three days.

Unlike other local festivals, it was held indoors.

The interior of the building is spacious and divided into several sections with white partitions.

“I don’t know. There’s no problem on my side. There was no communication problem the second time either, so I think you don’t have to worry about that, right?”

2nd time.

As this expression suggests, this is not the first time Tokyo has hosted this event.

This is the third year.

Last year around this time, someone had just been reincarnated, so I was out of my mind and didn’t know about the situation in other countries.

3 years. This is enough time for even an ordinary office worker to gain experience, so the once chaotic event format quickly found stability.

“Oh! No, it’s okay now. They just replied.”

“I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but Iori-kun uses all sorts of strange stamps.”

“It’s a character that appears in animations these days.”

Moritake Ito, a representative hunter of Japan, checked the cell phones of his coworkers.

And then, with his back still supported, he lifted his waist and looked around.

Today again there are a lot of ordinary people.

“I’m an ordinary person……”

But a Japanese man who was a former securities firm employee looked at the crowd and thought for a moment.

‘Although people with special abilities are definitely outside the category of ordinary people, I still feel bad as an awakened person whenever I see such expressions in the media… ‘

I was just thinking about it.

Now is not the time to complain or vent.

“Ah! Imabari. You’re the leader of the Imabari guild.”

“Mr. Moritake!”

“The weather is hot, so come here and get a pack. It’s new.”

I hear a loud noise.

Ito was walking down the street when he received an item from a citizen he met.

What the merchant with the lively impression gave me was a plainly decorated pouch with the word “infinity” written in large letters on the front.

“oh.”

This is a cold pack made by wrapping magic stones from very cold dungeons in fabric.

In this way, it was not uncommon to see artificially created items at the exhibition.

Right next to it, they are also showcasing an eco-friendly, pollution-free table warmer made from the heart of a monster called a salamander.

[Level 5 Restorative Medicine Usage Instructions – Chance to Use Potions During Daily Activities]

On the one hand, these pure dungeon products are naturally also displayed in large numbers at the event venue.

But if you look closely, the artifacts that flaunt their powers around you are all blatantly weak.

They are not weapons that a hunter can use to fight monsters, and for the same reason, they are low-level discarded items that are unlikely to cause a major accident even if handled by incompetent people.

In fact, 90% of the exhibits placed inside this building had such performance.

Because the ostensible purpose of the Tokyo Expo was to promote dungeon culture to the citizens.

“As expected, there are a lot of visitors.”

Since the main target is the general public who have not yet awakened, it is necessary to present only toys that have eliminated as much risk as possible for the safety of the guests.

In addition, those without a hunting license cannot purchase equipment above a certain level of performance.

Even for realistic trading volumes, Tokyo has no choice but to set the table like this.

‘Can you get those things if you go to the F-rank gate? … .’

The cheers of citizens erupted from all over the event venue.

‘Have fun.’

Ito suddenly felt a new emotion as he saw people enjoying the mystery of magic.

Doomsday theorists are running rampant.

Deep-rooted Gate-related anger.

Anyway, right after Dungeon Shock, I was worried that the entire archipelago would be destroyed.

Thanks to the efforts of the government agency known as the Management Agency, awareness of new resources in Japan has improved significantly.

“Come to think of it, my grandfather in Ehime Prefecture said this. He still tells me not to go near things like that because it can make you sick.”

“Ah, the Guild Master’s home.”

“Even though we live in an age where even a mangled laborer’s hand can be easily restored with a potion, my grandfather still insists on seeing a regular doctor whenever he’s sick.”

“hmm.”

“You are pure.”

Of course, wherever you go, there are opposition parties.

Moritake walked along the street and chatted with his guild members about various things.

“If only you hadn’t been so distrustful of potions, you could live a little more comfortably.”

“It’s unfortunate, but on the other hand, there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m sure Grandpa has a lot to worry about. After all, it takes a long time for something, whether it’s a person or a skill, to be recognized by the world.”

For reference, the employee I’m talking to right now is a B-class Awakened user.

The size of Imabari has decreased significantly over the years.

“But actually, I also have a little bit of a fear of Mana.”

“okay?”

“There’s a nursing home near my house. These days, there are a lot of elderly patients suffering from addiction in that place….”

How can magic be scary? If you don’t like it, you don’t know.

Moritake tilted his head as he listened to his employee’s words.

But at that time.

Suddenly, the road in front opened up and a person ran in.

It was an awakened person with a very familiar face.

“Mr. Moritake!”

“Oh, it’s Iorida.”

Slightly longer hair like an idol on stage.

While it’s hard to believe that he’s a fully grown adult.

Who would have thought that Iori, a Japanese S-class hunter with the atmospheric attribute, would appear at the event?

“What’s this, Iori? Are you wearing that outfit again today?”

The man named Iori was wearing a shirt dyed a light green.

It was a familiar coordination to those around him, so Hunter soon gave a playful reprimand.

“If someone saw you, they’d think that was the only thing in your closet….”

But the other person doesn’t seem to be in the mood to joke around.

Clearly, this venue forbids the use of abilities except in emergency situations. But then Iori quickly approached his friend as if flying without even responding.

“Get out of the way. Get out of the way!”

Iori, who was running at full speed, soon spoke to his country’s representative hunter.

“Moritake-kun! Ouch, we’re in big trouble. Call all S-ranks to the venue right now. Right now!”

Summon all the S-rank hunters.

Anyway, what kind of ridiculous request is this?

“The top ones?”

For reference, the power structure of Japan’s S-class hunters has been through a lot, such as being divided into a 2:1:1 ratio and then returning to a 3:1 ratio.

The point is that only one hunter, Iori, has successfully achieved independence.

So, Moritake Ito, the head of the guild known as Shin Imabari, was still working with the two remaining S-class hunters, so he was naturally able to contact them.

“Why are you suddenly calling for all S-ranks? Did the management office say that the two of us weren’t enough security forces?”

But even so, isn’t it a bit much to mobilize all the S-class people in the country for this kind of fun event?

Moreover, this is volunteer work for which no separate salary is provided.

Someone immediately complained.

“It’s not like it’s a raid-related matter anyway. Just be polite to the hunters coming from other countries….”

But as soon as he heard the next sentence, Ito’s attitude changed.

“It’s a problem when a hunter who really needs to be extremely polite enters the country.”

“what?”

“Ms. Esther Seo from South Korea just sent me an email. She said that Kim Ki-ryeo just boarded business class. And the destination is the Tokyo exhibition hall.”

Entry of a specific hunter.

“According to Ms. Esther, the man asked her if she wanted to go to the event with him. But she was really upset because she couldn’t come due to her schedule in Korea. Damn it.”

“oh my god.”

“So, hurry up and contact the remaining two idiots! Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo is coming, so you don’t think they’re planning on not showing up, do you?”

Needless to say, this is an emergency… … .

After Iori’s shocking declaration, a hunter named Ito immediately contacted his guild members.

At the same time, I headed to a nearby airport with Iori.

Even though the countries are different, I think everyone will have similar feelings about the act of coming out barefoot and welcoming us.

‘Are you saying that Korean is coming back?’

Could it be that you are coming here for the ‘Tokyo Auction’, a special event of this festival?

But the item that he, an S-class hunter, would be able to use is at the peak of the event. That is, it should only appear around the middle of the second day, so why is it already… ?

It was a time when my mind was getting complicated.

The entry passageway opened in the center of the controlled airport, and the polite strongman finally appeared.

-Thump, thump, thump.

Like the skin of the snake he killed.

A Korean hunter appeared, dressed in a black suit from neck to toe, dragging a carrier.
