chapter 6
The Client (3)
* * *
At the black market near Osan Station, Ganghu bought the necessary ingredients.
‘Seviuro Flounder. kobold blood. And an anesthetic for monsters. I bought all of them.’
Materials were put in old backpacks bought cheaply at the market and slung over both shoulders.
The flesh of the monster Seviuro, which resembles a cow, but the meat is so smelly and tough that it is difficult to eat.
Kobold’s blood, which is completely useless anywhere, including potion production.
It was not an item for the aftermath.
“Do you have any strange hobbies? It’s good that I sold the materials I would throw away, but I’m sorry I did.”
Maybe that’s why the seller scratched the back of his head and put on an apologetic expression.
From the point of view of the seller, it was like selling something that had to be discarded for money.
But Kang-hoo was absolutely necessary.
Only with these materials can you block the ‘variable’ that suddenly appears when you find Kim Mok-hyun in the dungeon.
“…”
The seller did not respond.
Silence was a familiar expression for Kang-hu.
It is usually used most when it is not worth answering.
“Cluck. Seeing that he even bought an anesthetic, it seems that he had other intentions. What kind of woman are you going to use it for?”
“If you tease me one more time, I might use it on you. so that it can happen.”
“······ Hee!”
Kang-hu sent a clear expression to the seller’s pretending to be friendly when he talked to him while tapping him on the shoulder in an unpleasant way.
Then the seller also stepped back in dismay and kept his mouth shut.
Boo Woo-wook!
I closed the zipper of my backpack.
It’s time to set off.
Ganghu quickly moved to the abandoned ruined dungeon.
As an open dungeon that does not require a separate license, it was always crowded with hunters.
Sure enough, even at the entrance outside the dungeon, the hunters waiting were forming a sea of phosphates.
“You bastard, is that your seat? In the first place, there is no owner in the dungeon, so where is the owner!”
“If you are a rootless bastard, shut up. My cousin is from Eclipse. know?”
“These days, we talk about dogs and cows and Eclipses. Doesn’t it seem like they accept a worm like you?”
“It’s not me, it’s my cousin!”
Among them, there were quite a few Hunters who were already sticking together.
Everyone stopped and watched the fighting, saying that watching the fight was as fun as the Buddhist scriptures.
However, Ganghu didn’t even look at them and went right into the dungeon.
‘also.’
The expected picture appeared.
At Osan Station, I saw the hunters of ‘Osan Suho’, one of the quite famous gangs.
They were located at a point about 300m away from the entrance of the dungeon.
It was like putting a boundary line around and even controlling it in turns.
One hunter went close without thinking, and was beaten to death by the hunters of Osan Suho.
Control was there for a reason.
This is because monsters appear so quickly that they cannot be compared to other places.
It’s called ‘Poxen’.
“after.”
Kang Hu let out a short sigh and thrust the longsword into his waist.
First of all, the monsters I would encounter immediately changed their weapons because they thought that a short sword would be more suitable for attack than a long sword.
【Basic dagger for practice】
【Rating: None】
【Strength +1】
Due to lack of money, he could not even buy the lowest level 9 dagger item.
However, it was Ganghu’s idea that as long as you get the attack points well, the weapon doesn’t matter.
So I equipped myself with a cheap practice dagger.
Of course, when you earn money, it is also the first weapon to change.
at that time.
kiing. Ching ching ching.
Announcing the entrance to the abandoned ruins dungeon, a monster that was also a kind of mascot appeared.
【Prickly Claw Rabbit】
A monster rabbit with extremely threatening means of attack, with long, sharp claws.
The monster level was 35, so it could never be said to be low.
Especially for level 10 hunters like Ganghu.
“…”
Swoop.
Kang-hu, who was looking at the rabbit with their eyes met, naturally cut the tip of his left index finger with the tip of his sword.
Then, at intervals of about one second, a drop of blood appeared to drip from the wound.
Keeing!
Upon smelling the blood, the rabbit’s eyes turned redder than usual.
The instinct to attack was stimulated.
Originally, he was very cautious and difficult to approach, but now his personality has changed.
Kaching!
All of the rabbit’s toenails grew in an instant, and every joint became a threatening weapon.
The characteristic of the thorn claw rabbit is ‘acceleration’.
It was better to avoid long-term battles, as the more time you gave them, the more they went crazy.
Kang-hoo didn’t move.
Since he is so agile, even if he decides to rush at it, he will avoid it and raise the medicine.
It’s a picture that only drains power unnecessarily. So, Kang-hu looked at the reversed picture.
Meowing!
That’s right, making the rabbit run first!
Thanks to the stimulation, the rabbit moved as Ganghu thought.
The rabbit kicked its back foot hard and started running, making a run-up with all its might and flying its body towards Ganghu.
After reaching the peak of the parabola, and entering the descending phase, he aimed all of his sharp claws at Kanghu.
Dig!
Kang-hoo hid his appearance with active lateral movement.
been waiting for this
This is because lateral movement cannot be used in midair. I definitely needed a target to be a target.
Keeing·······?
As Kang-hu disappeared from sight, the rabbit with spiked claws tilted its head. The elongated ears also fluttered.
But that’s for a while.
Woowook!
Kieng!
Hugging him from behind as if giving a back hug, Kang Hu stabbed the dagger diagonally under his left chest.
It was an instant death with nothing more to check.
The dagger, which had completely avoided the hard pectoralis major muscle and ribs, pierced the heart.
【Your level has risen to 11. The next basic skill acquisition time is level 20.]
Indeed, the experience gained after a long time.
It was a complete supply and demand of experience points that he had never gotten even a speck of dust from when he was in the clearing camp.
Level 11 was right around the corner, so the level rose right away, and Kanghu put 1 bonus point into his physical strength.
‘If I can manage my congenital mana hypersensitivity well, I don’t really need mana stats.’
For the time being, I plan to put bonus stats only on physical strength.
That way, when your stamina is reduced and blown away by overload due to hypersensitivity, you can promote quick recovery.
【A mid-boss monster is detected within a radius of 500m. Automatic alerts for threatening objects.】
When Kang Hu received a request from Lee Ye-rin to track down Kim Mok-hyeon, the reason why he gladly complied appeared.
It was the appearance of a monster called the middle boss monster or middle boss.
It is also the target of skill extortion.
‘A guy with a more impatient temper is easier to cook for me.’
Ganghu’s eyes shone coldly.
Looking at his body alone, he’s a much more difficult enemy, but looking at his head, he’s an easy guy to deal with.
* * *
“What is he, just now?”
“What?”
“Didn’t you see? You just ripped out the heart from behind while hiding from the Thorn Claw Rabbit?”
“Is that true? Who are you?”
“He. That guy who is going alone towards the forest of storms.”
Around that time, Hana, a hunter from Osan Suho, who accurately witnessed Ganghu’s ‘one-man show’, stuck out his tongue.
They preoccupy the Poxen point and are having fun easily.
They were hunters with basic skills that each level was at least 50.
Considering Ganghu, who had just reached level 11, they were hunters of a very high level.
When they were level 11, they couldn’t even think of coming to this dungeon. Because I’m not a match.
So, the Hunter of Osan Suho, who spoke out, naturally saw Ganghu’s level as similar to his own.
“Yes, Daesung. I saw it too.”
“Did you see it, brother?”
“uh.”
Cho Young-jae, the third in the ranks of Osan Suho and a level 65 hunter, nodded at the words of his subordinate.
Possessing a special class called Berserker, he was also a skilled person who ended the contract with the Constellation early on.
When I have free time in the dungeon, I often look around, but most of the time there is nothing to see.
But today was different.
It was a short moment, but Kang Hu’s clean movements left a clear impression in everyone’s mind.
The spiked claw rabbit’s level is 35.
Even Jo Young-jae could not kill the thorn-clawed rabbit in one shot. This is because the optimized route has not yet been created.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to stab a rabbit’s heart. It’s because he doesn’t give up his heart easily.
However, Kang-hoo preoccupied the rabbit’s rear too easily and stabbed the vital point with the least amount of movement.
The subordinate said to Jo Young-jae.
“Looking at the skill, it must be an assassin class.”
“I guess so. No one other than the Assassin class can get that quick stealth option.”
“But isn’t the stealth skill a basic skill obtained at level 200?”
“that’s right. So, where the hell did that stealth skill come from, I can’t guess. I’m so coveted.”
It has good skills that hunters of a level that can come to this dungeon cannot have.
That was Jo Young-jae’s idea.
This is inevitable because even if there are assassin connections around, there is no case of achieving the highest skill proficiency.
Hunters called named are now at the level of maximizing one or two basic skills.
Even though it has the title ‘named’. If you are a normal hunter, you may not know what is at the maximum proficiency.
Immediately recognizing Cho Young-jae’s interest, the subordinates rubbed their palms together and shook their heads.
“Shall we take one and see?”
“If my brother wants it, I’ll catch him right away and kneel in front of him, hahahahaha!”
“Should I just take off my clothes? Would you like to have another fun?”
“done. We’re eating this point in front of the entrance anyway. When he comes out, let’s see his face one more time.”
“Huh, if you wait anyway, you’ll come to my brother’s arms.”
Cho Young-jae captured the back of Kang-hu, who was quickly moving away.
It was more like jealousy than admiration or envy for him.
How do you have such a skill?
* * *
While heading to the middle boss, I hunted four more rabbits.
The dead monsters didn’t talk, and they didn’t share information with each other, so they died in the same pattern.
Thanks to that, I became level 13.
Kanghu’s level was low, so catching a few rabbits with relatively high levels was a huge benefit.
“Clack cluck.”
