A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

“Haha! Success! Success!”

The alchemist starts laughing out loud. Happiness echoes in the basement.

The resonance was filled with the alchemist's feelings. 100% pure happiness where no other emotion is mixed at all.

The alchemist was greatly pleased with the thought of successfully making an elixir.

“Chu, congratulations. ”

Meteor to congratulate you. The alchemist turns his head.

“Ah! Teacher! You said if I made an elixir, I'd give it to you, right? Come here. I'll give you your first chance to taste a special elixir I made. ”

Yooseong looked at the sliding pot. I can see the green blue-green blue-collar bubbling. I never wanted to put it in my mouth I didn't want to put it in even if I died.

“Hahaha! I'm fine! No thanks! Without a teacher, I would have thrown all these ingredients away. Alchemy doesn't work properly unless you add Horsestone Powder. I'd have to get some horseshoes for Alchemy, class B or C, but I only rolled my feet because I didn't have any real estate. This is all because of you. ”

The alchemist opened the shelf and took out the stainless steel cup. He dips the cup out into a pot and fills a cup with blue-collar.

“Here, have some. Destiny is in the hands of... No, the hands of power! ”

The alchemist gave the cup to Yooseong. On the bluefin latte in the cup, bubbles were rising.

“No, I'm fine. It's really okay.”

“You can raise your stats explosively, but don't want to try it? I'm not proud of it, but it's a masterpiece of repentance made with all kinds of ingredients... ”

All that stuff is the problem! ’

It's all about the ingredients. I can understand things like the heart of a Troll or the horn of a Minotaur. But putting Drake's urine or soil dragon feces...

That was unbearable.

If I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes, I could have drank that elixir in a heartbeat, but it was hard because I watched it from the beginning to the end with my two eyes.

‘This is a chance to increase stats without spending points. ’

But I was troubled.

I wonder if I should really eat that awful algae patch.

‘My stats are mostly E-F. I have to raise the stats... ’

It was Yooseong who started weighing, but eventually I hit the wall. You can't get stronger without raising stats. I can't help it. I had to drink it.

‘I have to give up. ’

Yooseong decided to give up his taste.

“You thought well. ”

The alchemist handed him the bluefin latte. Meteor absorbed the blue-collar. You shouldn't eat anything that tastes bad. We must take in the pain at once.

Gulp! Gulp!

A blue-collar swarm flowed down the throat of the meteor. The taste was terrible, a hundred times as tasty and a thousand times as short conversion as I had eaten before.

My tongue is on fire! ’

The taste cells on my tongue screamed. Save me, save me. But I had to endure it.I was told I'd be happy after all the hard work. If you just endure this pain, your stats will increase.

“Khh……. ”

Meteor cleaned out the blue-collar in the stainless steel cup.

“Oh! Are you finished? How does it taste?”

“It's the worst.”

“I guess I can't help myself. How are you feeling? Don't you feel anything? ”

“I don't feel like that... …. ”

Stupid!

Something's not right. I don't feel like I'm getting stronger. An anomaly occurred in the body instead.

“Huh? Huh! Ms. Grant, what's wrong with this? ”

My fingers were hardening. It wasn't like I couldn't move or anything.

My fingers are turning to stone. Your fingers aren't the only ones. You can't feel your toes turning to stone.

“Oh, my God! Was it the basilisk's eyes, too?

“What the hell did you put in there?! ”

“I saw a book saying that if I mixed Basilisk's eyes with Fermin flowers, I would improve my physical ability, and I put it in an elixir. I think I misinterpreted the book because it was written in the ancient language. Hahaha... ”

“Holy shit! So you made the drug in an unproven way? ”

“Alchemy is a challenging discipline.... ”

“You didn't even think about the side effects! Son of a bitch!”

Your lower back is completely frozen and turned to stone. The petrification was gradually in progress on the arm.

“Do something! Go for it!"

“Don't worry! Because I know I'll always have an emergency elixir ready! ”

An Alchemist took out a vial from your arms. The vial was filled with a crimson liquid.

“This is the elixir that says precious. It's a remedy that helps relieve all the conditions and freshens even the most seriously injured. Now, sir? You just inhale it. ”

An alchemist bit a vial in his mouth.

Gulp! Gulp!

Yooseong quickly drank the elixir.

Aaaaah!

The mural begins to dissipate as you drink the elixir. The sensation returns on my fingers and my legs move again.

The first thing the Petrifying Star did was catch the alchemist by the neck.

“You bastard! You're feeding me that? ”

“I didn't know there were any side effects. But once you've eaten the elixir, you won't have any more side effects. If word gets out that I lost my potion, my Alchemist career will be over. Rather than that, sir, would you mind checking the stats window? ”

“…… if the stats don't change, I'll hit you. ”

“I'd be happy to chew one off. ”

The alchemist smiled quietly at his words.

[Yooseong Han]

Force: C +

Agility: C +

Health: C

Magic Power: C

Inner Air: C

“No way.... ”

The stats panes filled with E and F disappeared everywhere and the letters C were filling the stats pane.

“The stats went all the way up to C in one go? ”

Even with strength and agility, there was up to +.

This guy is real! ’

He said it was an Elixir of Life, but it was not a prophecy. An elixir made by an alchemist made a stat boost.

“How is it? Is it working? ”

The alchemist opens his teeth and smiles. Yooseong was surprised to see his status window and was unable to answer his question.

“The reaction seems clear. Ah! If it hadn't been for the side effects, it would have been a success. Too bad.”

An alchemist who shakes his head and says it's a waste. I turned my head and looked at the alchemist.

“Ms. Grant! This elixir is amazing! If you eat it again, will the stats rise again? ”

“I wish I could, but that's it. I made a special elixir that makes my body more resistant once I take it. If you eat it twice, you can't see the effect. And my elixir only works on low-grade hunters with poor physical ability. Hunters of higher rank are all good at their physical abilities, so they're not as effective as some kind of Elixir. ”

“Are you saying this elixir is nothing? My stats have moved up two or three levels. ”

“Three steps? It can't be that high...... I'm sorry, but can you tell me what the original stats were? ”

“Most of them were E and F. ”

“E and F? You hunted him with that body? ”

The alchemist gives you an unbelievable look. If you say you hunt with E and F stats, no one will believe you.

“How did you come by that stat to save a Grade B stable? I'm really curious. ”

“I couldn't help it. ”

“I'm asking what the heck it is. ”

“Does it really matter? ”

“A secret? Is there something you're not telling me? All right, everybody has a secret or two. I, too, am a man of mystery! So I'm not going to ask any more questions. ”

That way, the alchemist finishes the conversation by himself, answering by himself.

The alchemist walks to the raging pot. Approaching the pot full of bluefin lattes, he sighs.

“Hah...... If there are any side effects of the petrification when the ingredients are in there, it will be hard to sell. ”

The alchemist is sad to see a pot full of elixirs.

“So you're getting rid of all those elixirs? ”

“Hmm? Disposal? Of course not. How many hard-to-get materials are in there and discarded? ”

The alchemist waves his hand.

“I'm going to mix it with other drugs and sell it as diluted as I can. If you dilute it, the petrification will also end with a brief stiffness. It's not going to work very well, but I can't help it. ”

The alchemist shrugs.

“Ms. Grant, can you even make stat raising elixirs with a higher rank Hunter?" ”

“Of course! I've been doing alchemy for 17 years since I was summoned to Estelle in high school. There's no medicine I can't make! If you have materials! If you have Crafting Scrolls, everything is possible! ”

An alchemist shouting with confidence. I felt like I could really make anything just by listening to it.

‘Then why did this elixir fail? ’

If there were no side effects to the elixir that I gave him, he would have been fiercely supportive, but I was a little doubtful about Yooseong who had taken the elixir and suffered petrification.

But first, it works. If you really only fit the ingredients, there seems to be no medicine left to make.

Side effects are…….

I don't know. You'll have to try it just like this elixir did. Anyway, it was clear that the alchemist's skill was real.

I thought Yooseong should continue his relationship with this alchemist.

“Ms. Grant, please summon me to test your elixir in the future. I'll be happy to assist you. ”

“Are you serious? You're trying to grab my collar after you eat it. ”

“Hmmm...... It's because it's rare this time, and you won't do it next time. ”

“Hmm... Then I have no reason to refuse. The troll that was used in the clinical trial died. ”

The alchemist points to a Troll in the corner of the basement.

"Are the Trolls rumored to be awesome at regeneration dying? ’

“Sir, you're not going to say a word to a man, are you? Don't worry, I'm not going to do what I did to the Trolls because they're feeding people. ”

“I recorded this. You must never feed anything like poison. ”

“Oh, I wouldn't feed you that. I'm worried.”

Then what did you feed them that killed the Trolls? Yooseong was very curious as to why the Trolls died, but he didn't ask. I thought something would happen if I asked.

“Ha, this is Yooseong Han. ”

“I'm Park Jinsoo, an alchemist. Since we work together from now on, you can call me Jin Soo. I have a name for this teacher, so I'm just going to keep calling him teacher. Well, I look forward to seeing you again. Hahn.”

“Please take good care of it. Park Jin Soo.”

Human Test Subject Yooseong and Alchemist Park Jin Soo. That's how it all began.
