Chapter 113 – Draug Dungeon (1)
Seo-joon finally stopped the raid after filling up the 2 billion won, the price of the free pass.
“Whoa, it seems like it’s harder because you’re alone.”
Of course, 7-8 star level dungeons were not that difficult for Seo-joon.
To be precise, it was not at all difficult, so it could be said that an ironic situation that became more difficult was directed.
He also had to use the power of Samdanjeon (三丹田) to speed up the raid.
However, when using the power of the triple battle, the monsters that could not withstand the power almost evaporated, so they couldn’t get the price right.
Because of this, Seo-joon felt that his fatigue increased as he was raiding while adjusting his strength.
Because of that, the situation even took longer than expected.
“Well, still, where is 2 billion a day?”
However, Seo-joon returned to the Dream Team building excitedly thinking about the money he earned today.
For some reason, no one was seen at the Dream Team building that had returned.
It seemed that after running away, he went straight home.
“How good it is to make money, but why do people hate it so much…”
Seo-joon shook his head and checked the balance of his account.
<Account balance: ￦ 2,121,000,000>
As if the settlement had already been completed, the balance was deposited with an amount of 2 billion won.
To be exact, about 2.03 billion won was deposited.
and student days.
Considering that it took a day or two to settle, it was a fairly quick process.
It seemed that Seojun was one of the many benefits he received as a guild while being an A-class professional hunter.
“Guild benefits are good. I need to quickly raise the guild rankings by letting the kids build up their performance.”
Seojun made a firm resolution and immediately connected to the transcendent academy.
And then I bought the free pass right away.
Hold on.
With just one touch, 2 billion disappears from the balance.
I made 2 billion in just one day.
2 billion evaporates in just one day!
“… Damn it.”
When will we ever get used to this feeling?
Seo-joon only let out a deep sigh.
“Ugh, that’s it. It’s not like this once or twice… Now, let’s listen to Shakyamuni’s lectures.”
Seo-joon took a Sakyamuni lecture to soothe the psychological shock caused by repurchasing the free pass.
Hold on.
.
.
[Life is inevitably accompanied by fear and anxiety.]
As expected, from the beginning, the content that seemed to be going crazy flowed out of the smartphone.
Shakyamuni’s lecture that does not change no matter when you listen to it.
[Who wants to forget the dark past. A person whose present is too heavy. A person limping with fear of the future.]
[Today, I want to tell you an interesting story for such people.]
Sakyamuni continued to speak.
[There is an animal called a squirrel in the dimension of earth where the monks lived. It is a small and cute mouse that eats acorns as its staple food.]
[And such a squirrel has a peculiar habit, which is that when it picks up two acorns, it puts one in its mouth and buries the other in the ground to eat throughout the winter.]
[But time passes. The squirrel eventually forgets the location of the buried acorn and is unable to find and eat it. Even after such hard work.]
[There is really no such thing as a prick.]
“Poop!”
Seo-joon burst out laughing in an instant.
To think that the gentle Shakyamuni would use the word pakdaegari.
Sakyamuni also continued with a gentle smile, as if the words he had uttered were funny.
[And the acorns that were not found sprout in the ground after a long time, become trees, and then become a forest, recreating countless acorns.]
[The acorns that have grown so abundantly make the squirrel not have to worry about eating them.]
[At the time, the behavior of the squirrel, which I thought would be a prank, was an act that eventually enriched the squirrel.]
[The same goes for your life.]
[If there is a difficult problem in your life, if there is a very difficult task. One way is to forget everything and bury it without trying to solve it.]
[Like the acorns that squirrels bury to eat all winter, who knows how the buried problem will be solved later.]
[That when we decide not to do something, it is just a choice toward another possibility, not giving up or resignation. Soseung wants you to know.]
.
.
.
It’s a strange feeling that makes you feel at ease even though you feel like you’re losing your mind somewhere.
“Whoa…”
Seo-jun let out a long sigh as if to let out the emotions accumulated in his heart.
<Shakyamuni Lecture Progress 33.8% (+0.1%)>
Then, along with a beep sound, the progress of the Sakyamuni River appeared on the screen.
Seojun shook his head at the figure of checking the notification window (+0.1%).
“When will I be able to complete Shakyamuni’s lecture…”
While Seo-joon remembered, he checked the progress of each lecture that had been held so far.
<Shakyamuni Lecture Progress 33.8% (+0.1%)>
<Jecheon Daeseong lecture progress rate 11.7% (+6.2%)>
<Progress rate of Jang Sam-bong 83.5% (+21.6%)>
<Progress of Hercules Lecture 87.3% (+12.6%)>
<Lu Dongbin lecture progress rate 9.9% (+2.5%)>
<Progress rate of Siegfried Lecture 9.9% (+2.5%)>
{Lectures completed – reverse divergence [A], metamorphosis [A], insight [S]}
The last time I checked my progress was at the point where the pro hunter test was about to end.
In a word, the progress rate of the lecture that went up during that time was only 0.1%.
And, except for the Sakyamuni lecture, the lowest rise was a whopping 2.5%.
Of course, 2.5% was not a number that would have the word ‘how much’ added to it.
However, compared to 0.1%, ‘how much’ was enough.
Even the Sakyamuni lecture was the first lecture that Seojun encountered along with the transcendentalist academy.
Considering that, the progress rate itself may not be the lowest, but the growth rate itself could be said to be disastrous.
“It’s too slow…”
And the reason Seo-joon suddenly had this concern was simple.
none other than this day.
So, it was because of the period of the free pass.
There was a period of 90 days for the free pass pass.
And Shakyamuni’s lectures could only be heard in the free pass lectures.
In other words, unless you have completed the Sakyamuni lecture.
To be precise, it meant that I had to repurchase the free pass pass until I completed the Shakyamuni lecture.
Because the Sakyamuni lecture was a lecture that had to be taken in order to become a transcendental person.
In addition, the more you repurchase the free pass ticket, the more causality soars.
that means that.
Freepass is the worst money bug that eats money every 90 days!
“I’d rather have individual lectures… no. Then I can’t imagine what the cause and effect will be.”
It is also true that the immovable mind that can be obtained through Shakyamuni’s lecture was SSS grade.
And, at the transcendent academy, the lectures on Sakyamuni were almost the only lectures that allowed students to acquire the SSS level.
The reason why I used the word “almost” was that it could be something Seo-joon hadn’t discovered yet.
First of all, Seojun was the only one who found Shakyamuni.
Even S-class lectures are in the hundreds of billions, but the SSS-level causalities that are several steps higher than that will do hundreds of billions.
Maybe… it could have transcended a billion units.
Even if it ate money every 90 days, the free pass was a gain.
“Anyway, it’s an advantage to finish quickly…”
The problem was that the only way to do that was to listen to lectures constantly.
“Ehh…”
Somehow, it felt like the lump I had just spit out through the lecture on Shakyamuni was being piled up again in the lecture on Shakyamuni.
Seo-joon looked at the progress of the lecture once more and put his smartphone in his arms.
“By the way… Ryu Jin-cheol is quieter than I thought.”
To be honest, Seo-Jun thought he would run into Ryu Jin-Cheol during the dungeon raid.
It was also because Seo-joon wandered around the black dragon’s bedroom as if showing off.
So, of course, I knew that I would jump out right away and make a fuss.
But for some reason, Ryu Jin-cheol did not take any action.
It was completely opposite to the attitude Black Dragon had shown so far.
“Could it be that… are you plotting other tricks?”
It was quite possible.
Seojun was deep in thought.
“Hmm, I think we need to prepare a little more…”
Of course, I think it’s enough now, but no one knew how the situation would develop in the future.
That is why the best thing was to learn Cheonwolyuseongbong (天月流星棒) of Jecheondaeseong.
However, it was impossible because I could learn it only after completing the Rannachal (欄拿扎) that I am currently taking.
In the end, all I can do is increase the progress of the course I am currently taking…
“Or should I really take another class?”
Seo-joon took out the smartphone he had tucked away in his arms.
And connect to the transcendent academy.
I checked the lectures that I had noticed in advance.
『[All poison! Chinese calligraphy! Gold River Fire! Ultimate body training! (Instructor: Atlas)]』
『[Faster than anyone else, different from others! Let’s run at the speed of light! (Instructor: TRP)]』
<If you complete this lecture, you will learn ‘All Poison’s Injury [A]’, ‘Hanseo’s Invulnerability’ [A]’, and ‘Golden Buddha’s (金剛不壞) [A]’. >
<If you complete the lecture, you will learn ‘Speed (神速) [S]’.>
These were the lectures recommended by the transcendental community, ‘The Beginners’ Chatter’.
It was an overwhelmingly recommended lecture among the lectures that it is good to learn in the middle of the transition from intermediate to advanced lectures.
In particular, I was able to get three effects at the time of completion of that Atlas lecture.
Of course, all of them were grade A.
However, considering that Chiron’s senses and metamorphosis were grade A, it was a level that could not be ignored.
All poisons, Hanseo, and Geumgang Buddha.
If the effect that Seo-jun thought was correct, the effect of ‘poison immunity, heat and cold immunity, and physical immunity’ could be obtained.
In addition, Thirfi is an attendant of Thor in Norse mythology, and was the fastest among all mythical characters.
The name TRP itself means ‘light’, and he is literally the only person who can run at the speed of light.
It might not really be able to run at the speed of light, but it would be worth the name of speed.
If it goes well with Jang Sam-bong’s footwork…
“I can’t even imagine.”
Seojun shrugged once.
Perhaps that is why the causal effects measured for each lecture amounted to a whopping 40 billion won.
It was a terrifying cause and effect worth 80 billion won in total.
“No, Jecheon Daeseong’s rannachal was 27 billion won. Did the causal rise again in that time… Shit.”
Unbeknownst to Seo-joon, resentment welled up in the depths of Hadanjeon.
However, Seo-jun soon shook his head.
“Ehh, I can’t learn even if I have money now.”
It was because even if there was enough money in the first place, it was impossible right now.
Currently, Seojun is listening to a total of 6 lectures.
Excluding the Sakyamuni lecture, the day was tight just by listening to the lecture while performing the five daily tasks.
“I wonder if I can finish the lectures on Jang Sam-bong and Hercules.”
Two lectures with 83% and 87% progress respectively.
If I work hard a little, I can finish the two lectures in no time, and then I can afford to take other lectures.
“Anyway, I have to save money…”
A free pass voucher that extorts money every 90 days.
Dizziness about the 80 billion won that needs to be collected in the future.
“······ When will Amseong-nim come?”
I couldn’t help but think of the existence that took away 13 billion naturally.
“ha···”
Seojun could only let out a sigh.
Right then.
“Are you inside?”
Suddenly, someone’s voice came from outside the building.
Judging by the voices, it seemed that they were not members of the team.
“Who is it?”
Seojun tilted his head.
The current time was late in the evening.
Few people would visit the Dream Team at this time.
It was accurate that very few people visited the Dream Team in the first place.
“Who are you?”
“Oh, you were inside. Hunter Kim Seo-joon. I am Lee Tae-beom, the president of the association.”
“The president of the association?”
Seojun immediately opened the door.
Then, Lee Tae-beom, the head of the professional hunter association, stood outside the door with a happy expression.
“What’s the President of the Association doing here at this time…”
“That… I have something urgent to tell you, so I came to you despite the rudeness.”
“Are you talking to me?”
Lee Tae-bum nodded slowly.
If Lee Tae-beom came to visit in person, and even at this time, it would be quite important.
Seo-joon took Lee Tae-bum inside.
And after sitting in the right seat, I asked Lee Tae-bum.
“What’s the matter with you?”
Lee Tae-bum paused for a while before slowly opening his mouth.
“I received a report that a draug dungeon was created in Korea a while ago.”
“A draug dungeon?”
“yes.”
Seeing Lee Tae-bum nodding his head, Seo-joon couldn’t hide his surprise.
It was because Seo-jun was also well aware of the dangers of the Draug dungeon.
“But why did that story suddenly come to me…”
That’s why Seo-joon couldn’t understand Lee Tae-bum.
He would do the same because he had to tell Young-seong, not Seo-jun, about the Draug Dungeon.
Lee Tae-bum was also silent for a while, probably not knowing that fact.
After a long time, Lee Tae-bum slowly opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry to say this, but… I came here to see if Hunter Kim Seo-joon could handle the Draug dungeon.”
“yes? me?”
Seo-joon couldn’t help but be even more surprised by Lee Tae-beom’s words.
As I said, it was because only the Spirit could handle the Draug Dungeon.
“Why did you do that to me…”
for a moment.
However, Seo-joon shut his mouth tightly as if he was covering it.
It was none other than the last raid battle.
It was because he remembered the progress rate of the Sakyamuni River, which had risen significantly due to the draugr.
“I wondered if it would be possible if it was Kim Seo-joon Hunter…”
It seems that Lee Tae-beom also came to Seo-joon thinking about what happened at that time.
“·······”
Seojun thought for a moment.
It was already a troublesome time with the current progress of the Shakyamuni River.
Even the draugs during raid battles were monsters embodied in sorcery.
It was clear that the actual draug was more powerful than that.
Besides, at that time there was only one draug, but there were dozens of draugs living in the draug dungeon.
From the perspective of others, the risk is amplified dozens or hundreds of times, but…
For Seo-joon, the progress of the lecture was amplified dozens or hundreds of times!
Of course, Draug’s mental attack was so powerful that even S-class hunters couldn’t withstand it.
However, Seo-joon had none of that.
“Of course, I don’t mean to just solve it. We plan to provide financial support, albeit small.”
Plus, they give you money!
Seo-joon’s voice trembled involuntarily.
“Uh, how much…”
Lee Tae-bum pondered for a while before carefully opening his mouth.
“I’m thinking about 30 billion, but…”
That moment.
Seo-joon’s expression hardened like a stone statue.
And looking at it, Lee Tae-bum felt that it was an expression as if he was trying to move with only that kind of money.
‘Isn’t that enough…’
It was because Lee Tae-bum thought that 30 billion won was a small amount for Seo-joon’s ransom.
Of course, 30 billion was a huge amount for an A-class hunter.
However, Seojun was not an ordinary A-class hunter.
S-class hunter with minimum potential.
No, he was a hunter who might be able to look at a hero-class hunter for the first time in Korea.
To move such a hunter, 30 billion was a fairly cheap axis.
Nevertheless, the reason why they called for 30 billion was because it was the maximum amount that could be mobilized by the current association.
Therefore, it was the standard to negotiate after calling for 20 billion won at first, but Lee Tae-beom did not do that.
It was because I didn’t want to go against Seo-jun’s planting.
but.
‘This crazy…!!’
That was Lee Tae-bum’s idea.
Seo-joon had thoughts completely different from those of Lee Tae-bum.
In the first place, Seo-joon had the idea to handle the Draug dungeon without paying.
The Draug Dungeon was a dungeon that was rarely created.
Over the past few decades, only 8 Draug dungeons have been created in Korea.
Adding this to it, it was no more than 9 times.
Do you miss out on those few opportunities?
This golden opportunity to drastically increase the progress of Shakyamuni Lecture?
It was worth paying money to reserve the Draug Dungeon.
However, Lee Tae-beom’s proposal to give him 30 billion won instead.
‘Cha, be patient… Ooh, you can’t laugh…’
Seo-joon had to hold back the corner of his mouth that kept pouting.
Because of that, Seo-joon’s expression hardened even more.
And is it because of that?
‘At a time when I used up all my budget to prepare for the pro hunter exam…’
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Lee Tae-bum started to get quite nervous.
Draugh is a ghost monster with no substance.
If the draug dungeon causes a break and the draug comes out of the dungeon, the damage cannot be dealt with.
When I was in the dungeon, I had to deal with it.
Lee Tae-bum exclaimed urgently.
“It doesn’t end here. If you clear the Draug Dungeon this time, we can issue an S-class Hunter Certificate. The performance is a bit lacking, but if it’s a draug dungeon, that much…”
Seo-joon raised his hand that covered his mouth and covered it up to the tip of his nose.
Because he didn’t want to show his bulging nostrils.
“Then, since the Dream Team becomes a guild with S-rank hunters, the requirements for privilege elevation are also met. So, we can also raise the guild rank. Then, in the future, various taxes and fees will be drastically reduced on the profits earned by the Dream Team…”
“ah···”
Seo-joon let out an exclamation involuntarily.
It was a decisive blow.
That was the final blow!
To be honest, I just had an idea.
No, I had to beg him to leave it to me.
But what about 30 billion?
In addition, consider promoting S-class hunters?
Guild benefits also increase?
‘Kuhup…!’
Seo-joon couldn’t stand the laughter that leaked out.
“How could it not be…?”
Lee Tae-bum finished his speech with a nervous feeling that he might be rejected.
And he waited impatiently for Seo-joon’s answer to follow.
However, Seo-joon did not respond hastily.
‘Kuhup…!’
No, I couldn’t open my mouth because of the laughter that erupted.
However, from Lee Tae-beom’s point of view, who did not know that, it was a burning feeling.
The longer the silence, the more Lee Tae-bum’s expression hardened.
Clap, dry saliva ran down my throat.
It’s been such a long time.
Seojun asked.
“Hey, why is Youngseong-nim…”
He couldn’t even speak properly.
Lee Tae-bum answered right away.
“Because I haven’t been able to get in touch with Youngseong-nim…”
Seo-joon understood Lee Tae-bum’s words differently.
If you get in touch with spirituality, this opportunity flies!
Then, this time Seojun started to get nervous.
However, Seojun was not in a hurry.
It’s like a decision Seo-joon made after careful consideration.
It was as if he had no choice but to accept a request so earnestly.
He nodded slowly, very slowly.
“I will… I will do it.”
“Are you sure!”
As soon as he heard the answer from Seo-joon, Lee Tae-bum felt as if all his worries and worries were washed away.
Lee Tae-bum’s hardened expression relaxed for an instant, and he smiled brightly.
“Then, when will the raid be possible…”
“Right now, tomorrow…!”
Seojun caught his breath for a moment.
“It’s not …, heheum. that, well I, too, need to be prepared…”
Still trembling words.
“But, well, the matter is so urgent, right away tomorrow…! No, we will deal with it as soon as possible.”
Well, I can’t let Youngseong take it away.
Seo-joon held back his words.
“thank you! Thank you very much, Hunter Kim Seo-joon!”
Lee Tae-bum jumped up from his seat and lowered his head.
And it was something that other pro hunters would be shocked to see.
Lee Tae-bum was the president of the Pro Hunter Association representing all pro hunters in Korea.
Who in Korea would accept this kind of treatment from Lee Tae-bum?
Only the heroes of Cataclysm were the only ones who could be treated like this by him.
But how does Lee Tae-bum show this attitude towards someone who has just become an A-rank hunter?
If others saw it, it would be shocking.
However, Seo-jun had no time to think about such things.
‘Kuhup…!’
I just couldn’t stop myself from holding back the laughter that came out of me.
