Episode 49
Early moning.
I slowly opened my eyes.
belt ring.
– Exit [Sleep Mode].
A sigh of relief flowed out at the same time as the system notification.
“Whoa.”
thank god. Because everything is not a dream
It was only one day, but yesterday was the day that changed my life. If I had woken up as F-rank Hunter Jin Tae-gyeong, reality would have felt like a nightmare.
That was when I woke up with a rustle.
– You have a status abnormality, [Hangover].
?eww “
Last night’s aftermath is no joke. I grabbed my dizzy head and sat cross-legged on the bed mattress.
According to the system, one of the functions of Ungijosik was detoxification.
– Start [Fortune Breakfast].
He guided his gong power according to the rule of Jingasimbeop. As soon as I started eating breakfast, the headache disappeared, and after about 10 minutes, the message I was waiting for appeared.
– [Hangover] will disappear.
But I didn’t stop. This is because he knew that the efficiency of the fortune-telling meal would decrease if he suddenly finished it midway.
‘It’s an experience in Moorim.’
It was after an hour that I finally got out of the lotus position. His head is clear and his body is full of energy.
the problem is….
‘Why is there so little energy coming in?’
Gongpower increases when external energy is received, stored and circulated internally.
However, the first fortune-telling breakfast in reality was strangely low in energy.
‘Besides, to the point of turmoil. ，To compare, the food is small in quantity and tasteless, and even that is a long wait. My eyes were automatically furrowed.
‘Is it an environmental pollution problem?’
It could be because it is a gong power based on the pure energy of nature.
Compared to Moorim, the natural environment in modern society is at a serious level.
‘Or maybe the location is the problem.’
A studio in a gosiwon that has been built for more than a few decades is not a particularly nature-friendly place. It smells bad and the facilities are old.
Jin-ho hyung always doubted the identity of this place because he was the secretary of the gosiwon.
‘Wasn’t it the torture room? During the cataclysm, if you catch a monster and hit a ball with a knife and ask where the devil is, I think the location of the devil’s parents would have been blown.’
… … One imagination must know.
‘You should be sleeping by now, right?’
I’m a person who considers waking up in the morning a shame, so there’s no need to check. It was at that time that I was contemplating whether or not to go out for breakfast.
Jiying.
A text message arrived on my cell phone.
[Do you have time?]
The sender was Myeongpyeongchung, no, Choi.
sparkling chandeliers. Classical music playing calmly with smartly dressed people.
The meeting place was a place where I couldn’t distinguish whether it was a cafe or a high-end restaurant.
“May I take your order?”
Shiva, even the waiters here are at the level of celebrities. With model proportions, the face is like a handsome Greek god.
‘Does everyone become gay like this?’
Unlike me, who felt confused about my identity, Team Manager Choi started ordering leisurely.
“Give me a glass of black ivory. How about Taekyung?”
The Greek god turned to me.
For some reason, I feel like I shouldn’t ask for a caramel macchiato.
“Please give me the same one.”
The coffee that came out after a while was pretty good.
“Good. this is black… … I beg your pardon?”
“Black ivory.”
In fact, I don’t even know what it is.
I guess so, that’s what you do.
I murmured my honest feelings.
“It looks expensive. Do you use good coffee beans?”
“It’s elephant dung.”
“ah.”
I quietly put my coffee cup down.
Team leader Choi smiled and opened his mouth.
“Congratulations.”
It was an unexpected greeting, but I understood it right away.
He was talking about the results of the previous day’s re-measurement.
“You are fast. Since it was personal information, the association probably wouldn’t have disclosed all of it.”
“C-class reawakening is rare. Besides, I saw it in person yesterday, and I can’t help but notice it.”
That’s it too.
Team leader Choi held out something to me who agreed. An envelope neatly placed on the table.
“What is this?”
“You will know when you see it.”
Maybe money?
I checked the contents of the envelope. Instead of checks, letters stuck like grains caught my eye.
“It’s a contract.”
“This is the maximum condition our guild can offer. Please read it.”
I’m already reading it though. from the first line to the last. Each article is a series of surprises.
“I don’t think it’s a C-level contract.”
After rolling on this floor for about 7 years, there are many things I have seen and heard.
It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a contract this generous.
“Because it’s a good condition even among 昭.”
“But why me… …
“Because they believe in me.”
“yes?”
“I believe in my intuition, and I believe in my eyes. That’s why I really want to catch Jin Tae-kyung.”
Manager Choi put down the empty coffee cup.
“Do you want to sign a contract?”
honestly shaking A lot of it too.
Regardless of the terms of the contract, I want to nod right away to the fact that someone recognized me and wanted me like this.
So today’s hesitation was longer than yesterday. It was after the coffee had cooled when he finally made up his mind.
“sorry.”
The reason was the same as yesterday.
According to the contract, you must work as a hunter for at least one year.
Thanks for the offer, but… … I couldn’t act hastily.
“Are you already signed? Or even planned?”
“no. I just need more time.”
“Time.”
Chief Choi sighed.
“It can’t be helped.”
When I was about to apologize again.
“This is the second suggestion.”
“yes?”
Another envelope came out of Choi’s arms. I received it in a dumbfounded state and checked the contents.
“provisional contract?”
“Do you know what it is?”
know. you know well
If the manpower office is a daily worker, the temporary contract with the guild is a non-regular worker.
It’s like a kind of mercenary who works as a member of a guild for a short period of time.
“You’re not going to refuse this, are you?”
It’s less than the official contract I received earlier, but it’s also generous.
There, the most important contract period to me is an empty blank.
“Write down the desired period.”
“Ah yes.”
Team leader Choi accepted the pen he offered.
And after thinking about it, I wrote down 7 days. I thought a week would be enough time to see if the system would hold up.
After signing the autograph, Team Manager Choi held out his hand.
“I will leave it up to you.”
“I will.”
Holding hands firmly, I realized that I had taken my first steps as a C-class hunter.
，Even though it’s a provisional contract.’
My heart was full.
“Can I go to work tomorrow?”
“no.”
Team leader Choi tapped on his watch.
“From now on.”
* * *
Boo.
Choi’s car was a large military vehicle. It was unexpected because he seemed like he would collect expensive supercars, but he found out why only after he arrived at the gate.
“Choose.”
“What?”
“equipment.”
Team leader Choi pressed a small button and a trunk large enough for five adult men to lie on appeared.
“It was modified for work. What are you doing leaving it at home?”
I looked inside the trunk with my mouth wide open.
‘Wow, crazy.’
Equipment costing at least millions of won was sorted one after another.
Weapons are fundamental to armor. There was nothing without various potions and disposable magic scrolls that were said to be expensive and unusable.
“… … Are these all yours?”
“For now. Some I received as gifts, some I bought because they were pretty.”
I see You buy because the equipment is pretty.
‘How much money do you need to have that mindset?’
C-class hunters earn well, but Team Leader Choi spends more than that.
You must be rich enough to live without worrying about money.
gulp.
“I think it would be better to just rent it from a rental office. If you borrow it for nothing and break it, it’s okay.”
“It doesn’t matter because it’s out of fashion.”
I see You’re following equipment design trends, too.
At that point, I gave up on thinking and picked out the equipment.
Since there is a system, it was easy to choose equipment.
‘Check the item.’
belt ring.
[Lizardman Hunter’s Leather Set] Type: Armor.
Rating: First class.
Restrictions: None.
Description: Made by peeling the skin of a Lizardman.
When equipped with all certificates [Scale Armor] Sword
‘This is fine.’
The weight is light, and the leather is tough and hard.
When all were equipped, the [Scale Armor] set effect was activated.
“Oh., , Green scales protruding from the leather densely cover the whole body. Seeing me like that, Team Manager Choi nodded his head.
“You made a good choice. You have a good eye.”
the system is good
I smiled awkwardly and rummaged through my weapon. Come to think of it, I’ve only seen Team Leader Choi use a sword as a human, but there are more than five types of weapons in the trunk.
‘It’s got stains on my hands too.’
You can see signs of trying to find something that suits you.
After a while, a spear was in my hand.
[Harpoon of the Lizardman Slayer]
Type: Weapon Rating: First Class Restriction: None Description: High chance of successful attack
[Bleeding] activated.
Anyone who sees it will know that he is a lizard lover. When the equipment selection was finished with the spear, Team Leader Choi smiled.
“Why are you like that?”
“I want things to work out.”
“yes?”
“You will find out soon.”
I wanted to know what it was, but I went to the gate with Choi. A man was there instead of a management agency employee.
“Are you here?”
A polite 90 degree greeting. What is even more surprising is the attitude of team leader Choi who accepts the appearance naturally.
“What about the gate situation?”
“yes. I was contacted yesterday and access was controlled.”
“You worked hard.”
“no. young master.”
Bocchan is a term used to refer to or call an unmarried brother-in-law in honor, but there is no way that man is Choi’s brother-in-law… … .
‘Chief Choi. He must have been a rich boy.’
no wonder.
I should have recognized him from the time he wore all the top and bottom luxury equipment.
On top of that, it’s impossible without fashion people who care about equipment design and a few gold spoons.
‘That person has it all.’
The man who had it all turned his head to me.
“Now, let’s go in.”
“Right now?”
“Equipment is fixed, is there any problem?”
I looked around in a way that seemed too obvious.
Me and Team Leader Choi. and even a stranger. three is all
“What about the other team members?”
“Are you here? Team members.”
“Oh, I see. Are you coming in too?”
The old man interjected in a heavy voice.
“Not me.”
“then… … T
“The two of us are fighting. There are no extra people.”
Team leader Choi’s words made me dumbfounded.
“no?”
“yes.”
“Not a single person?”
“I’m not taking a dog.”
I see you are firm I thought it was Pocheongcheon.
“Then you’re going around the gate alone?”
“Is there anything you can’t do? It’s just a class gate.”
“This is my first time at that D-class gate.”
“I have been to many places.”
No, f*ck…
The D-level gate is not some kind of neighborhood discount mart.
“I’ll fall out if it’s just the two of us.”
If it is a level gate, ten hunters of the same level must form a team to conduct a safe raid. No matter how much I can use the system and learn martial arts, that doesn’t mean all dangers disappear.
“I know what Jin Tae-kyung is thinking. But let me tell you one thing.”
Team leader Choi continued in a relaxed voice.
“I am also a reawakening hunter.”
“Reawakening? I know the team leader is a C-level… … 「
“Class C is the grade that came out at the time of the first measurement. Reawakening came after that.”
In other words, it means that you are at least a B-class or higher.
The odds are slim, but it could be more.
‘It’s a B-class hunter.’
Then the words are different. Since it’s just the two of us, the amount falling to me will increase as well.
“If you die, I won’t stop you. I can go in alone.
Not once or twice.”
Do you often go in and out of the D-class gate alone?
“Then go in carefully. From tomorrow, let’s find out with E-class.”
Those words were the decisive blow.
I turned around and grabbed his shoulder.
“Chief Choi.”
“yes.”
“I want to do a raid.”
Chief Choi smiled warmly.
“Let’s do our best.”
