- Volume 1 Episode 16

Becoming a duel ability is only the beginning.

With money, all abilities are possible to bloom.

A completely flawless ability that has never been confirmed....

It could be an all-in-one ability.

The thought of that gave me a thrilling shiver.

'If I become an all-in-one, it's not just a dream to become the strongest on the planet. Perhaps it is possible to master all the dungeons......'

There was no end to the inflated delusions.

Jung Daesik hastily folded the thought.

'What a pointless thought. My goal is to become a building owner to the end! After you buy a single building with a monthly rent of 100 million won in the middle of Gangnam, you must strike down this dangerous thing right away.'

If money was the only goal, there would be no need to develop various abilities.

On the contrary, if money was the goal, it was futile.

Basically, this smart ability eats money.

If you try to acquire multiple abilities, the money will go in endlessly.

At best, even if you hunted and earned, if you gave it all to the shop, there was no meaning in making money.

So Jung Daesik thought that his duel ability would be enough, so he looked closely at various skills.

As a result.

'Observation skill... This is what Entropy said last time.'

A skill that allows you to check monster information.

That was the observation skill of the spiritual realm.

'Information about monsters is very important. Not only can they protect themselves, but they are essential for efficient hunting. Whether you continue to go to the makgong or play solo... Once you buy it, it will be useful in many ways.'

With that judgment, Jung Daesik made a decision.

"The mental abilities will bloom. And I will purchase the observation skill."

Then entropy immediately answered.

Tsarr!

The amount of the balance went down and my eyes suddenly turned white.

As if thrown into the divine space again, he could not distinguish the four directions of heaven and earth.

As the gravity disappears, the blood in the body runs wildly...

next moment.

When he woke up, he was sitting in his own room.

But he could feel it naturally.

'You have acquired the spiritual powers!'

Entropy continued to speak before I realized it.

As the balance fell again, the observation skill came in.

Since this skill had to be activated in front of a monster, it was impossible to know right away whether it was acquired or not.

However, since they ate up to ten million won each, it would have been obtained.

it had to be

'The remaining balance is 41 million won... This is good enough.'

Jung Daesik smiled cheerfully that he had left an emergency fund.

'Then the next... is hunting!'

* * *

I must have strengthened my magical powers and stamina enough. I must have acquired the observation skills as well as my mental abilities. Jung Daesik thought about going solo.

You won't be able to go against a powerful monster from the start.

First, you will have to hunt weak monsters, find out how far you can hunt solo, and decide whether to catch stronger monsters or not.

The problem was that it was time consuming to do that.

Since I had already caught Cerberus once and tasted the money, there was no way slimes or marmots could fill the castle.

The reason I wanted to solo in the first place was because I could monopolize the profits.

Even if he earned only a few million won, there was no point in soloing.

That's when I was thinking, wouldn't it be better to keep going to the makgong?

I got a call from Seok Woo-won.

- Jung Daesik! What are you doing? I have to go hunting again.

If it were me, I would have politely declined because I had already been seated in another makgong.

But the last time, he had a relationship with Cerberus.

Being able to catch such a powerful monster means that Seok Woo-won and the people who work with him worked well together.

So with them, there was no reason not to catch an object like Cerberus again.

So the words of refusal did not come out of my mouth.

Instead, Seok Woo-won made an unconventional suggestion that he was hesitating without answering.

-If you go hunting together this time, I'll pay your share more. This is something the other crew members agree on.

"...how much more can you hit?"

- 30% of total income!

"30%?"

Jung Daesik was startled and threw a counter-door.

Even the party leaders who make up the party do not take 30%.

He takes about 10% of his total income as a commission, but 30% would be surprising.

Then Seok Woo-won continued to speak, as if he was a little naive.

-Actually, after the last hunt, I went hunting with other guys a few times. Without you, my income was not good. More than anything.......

On the way, Seok Woo-won drew a long horse and Jung Daesik tilted his head.

After waiting for a while, Seok Woo-won burst into laughter.

- No fun.

"OK?"

Jung Daesik asked a counter-questioning what kind of fun it was. Reading his absurd expression, Seok Woo-won spoke quickly.

-Unexpectedly, when hunting Cerberus, blood just boiled in the midst of such a dangerous situation. It's been a long time since I felt that way. It's the feeling of not being afraid to die. Thanks to you, the decision was made right.

"What decision?"

- Decided to make my own raid. I used to think like a chimney, but as you know, hole hole has its advantages, but there are also many disadvantages. At that point, I was just wondering if it would be better to just keep playing like I am now. But after catching Cerberus the other day, after all, I wanted to have my own raid. Hunting with such a risk... The real hunting you should do as a hunter is not to have a blank slate.

Jung Daesik was silently listening to what he had to say.

In the wind, when Seok Woo-won asked a question, he missed the timing to answer.

- My personal wish is for you to be with me. Of course, I didn't mean to ask for an answer right away. It doesn't matter if you refuse, but why don't you try hunting with us at least a few times?

"......"

-Then I know that you agree, and I will send you the next schedule...

Suddenly, a hunting appointment was made, and Jung Daesik hung up the phone.

Afraid of that, Seok Woo-won sent a message.

It was a message with the muster place, the dungeon to hunt, and the target game.

'Hell Beast.......'

The Hell Beast was a monster that was one step stronger than the Hell Demon Dog I caught with Seok Woo Won the last time.

He appeared on the 4th basement floor of Dungeon 23, and he was strong enough to not attack anyone except those who boasted of their abilities.

It was a pretty dangerous prey for Seok Woo-won and his gang to attack.

But maybe after catching Cerberus last time, I gained confidence.

He seems to have decided that if only Jung Daesik joins, he will be able to catch the Hell Beast with difficulty.

This means that the hunt was originally planned with Jung Daesik's joining in mind.

'This is a little burdensome.'

Jung Daesik scratched the back of the head as he saw the message.

It seemed that Seok Woo-won and his party members depended on him a lot, so his heart was strangely heavy.

His purpose was only money, and he could not understand what Seok Woo-won was talking about, such as fun or joy.

They were fundamentally different from them, so it would have been difficult to make a promise for the future.

It might have been better to just cut it, but...

'It's tempting to take care of 30% of my share.'

Even if you catch a few hellbeasts, you can earn a lot of money.

It was 30% of that income, so it was an offer that was hard to refuse.

'Oh, I don't know. Seok Woo-won also told me to think about it a bit, so I'll decline it later, huh.'

Jung Daesik decided to go hunting with Seok Woo-won's party and lay flat on his back.

* * *

"Ah, here it is!"

Wandering around, seeing Jung Daesik appearing, Seok Woo-won's party, which was gathering in front of Seoul Station, showed a welcome sign.

"Hey, have you eaten?"

"I was just about to eat a hot dog. Now, this is yours!""Eat well and take good care of you today!"

It was friendly to see them chattering around Jung Daesik.

Jung Daesik accepted the hot dog with a smile, and Seok Woo-won approached him and talked to him.

"Thank you for coming."

"...If you give me 30% of my share, you shouldn't be able to come."

"right?"

Seok Woo-won, who smiled cheerfully, tapped Jung Daesik on the shoulder.

Then he waited for everyone to fill their stomachs with hotdogs, and then held a brief briefing before departing.

"As previously mentioned, today's goal is the hellbeast. Although we had previously caught Cerberus, to be honest, surviving from it was close to luck. It's also thanks to Jung Daesik here."

A brief greeting ceremony for Jung Daesik passed, and Seok Woo-won continued to speak.

"So, don't be conceited, and attack the Hell Beasts carefully. Don't think about relying on Jung Daesik alone. The only thing you can trust in the hunting ground is your own skills!"

Even after begging Jung Daesik not to be without him, Seok Woo-won kept nagging his party members about not relying on him.

He did it for a while, and then he finally came up with the subject.

"...You must have already been familiar with the details of the Hell Beast? As you know, unlike the Hell Demon Dog and Cerberus, it has one head. Instead, it can turn its entire body into a ball of fire, and its snout spreads all over the place. It has a very wide attack range. It is extremely dangerous because it will tear your limbs once bitten. Be sure to attack from a distance and be careful not to approach from the rear. Also, this bastard swings his tail like a whip. It's said that just touching it will make your skin peel, so if you want to be tortured, go near it. The most important thing is..."

After a moment's hesitation, he focused his attention and spoke.

"They can't tell the difference between males and females. The problem is that females are stronger than males. Females can cause a kind of explosion, so it's quite dangerous. If you get caught up in it, you're going to die. Of course, those who live in dungeons are Most are males, and females are very rare. Chances of encountering females are slim, but if you do, you'll have to hang out."

Then someone raised his hand and asked a question.

“No, if you say you can’t tell the difference between males and females, how do you line up?”

Seok-woo-won shrugged his shoulders and joked.

"If he throws a flirt, think he's a female and run away quickly."

There was a brief laugh, but anxiety ran over the heads of the party members.

Reading the sign, Seok Woo-won spoke carefully.

"There is no way to differentiate between males and females, but in the case of females, there is a harbinger before they explode. They inflate their bodies so much, then quickly run away... The best thing is to hope not to run into the females. Of course, even if you fall backwards. Unless you're unlucky enough to break your nose, you won't run into a female, so you won't have to worry so much."

Hearing that, someone mumbled.

"There's no way to be careful if you're careful. It's useless because it's a hunter's job anyway."

He said that was true, and everyone burst into laughter.

The only person who didn't laugh was Jung Daesik.

He couldn't understand it.

'What Seok-Woo-Won means is that if he encounters a female, he will die unconditionally. I'm going to take that risk and go hunting, are you laughing now? If it were me, I would have gone back right away. It's crazy because he has observation skills...'

What Jung Daesik believed in was the observation skill he had recently purchased.

He said he could find out about the types of monsters, their weaknesses, and their strategies, so even if the Hell Beasts seemed confused, it would be possible to tell them apart.

That's why I'm quiet, if I didn't have this skill, I would have turned away to say that I couldn't go to such a dangerous place.

The other writers, however, had no such skills and were smiling peacefully.

Jung Daesik murmured to himself that he wanted to open up what the hell his head looked like.

Seok Woo-won said, not knowing his true intentions.

"Then let's try our luck!"
