A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

“That Mana is a mysterious substance? I'm intrigued.”

Sofia pulls out the Mana Potion in the analyzer and starts looking around.

“This isn't good enough. How many more of these do you have? Get it out if you have to. ”

Sofia said as if she had fallen on the ground and looked at herself with her feet tapping.

“Phew……”

‘We have to endure...'... the scientist of the sink that only geniuses gather there. If things go wrong, I lose. Patience, patience. Three tries to avoid murder. ’

Even Sofia was the granddaughter of the warden, Manstein. If you behave in your own way, everything can become a bubble. Yooseong almost immediately raised his hand, but with superhuman patience, he overcame the first explosion crisis.

“Come on.”

“Ha. Ha. Ha. What a unique girl. I may not be normal, but you're not normal, are you? Here, take as much as you want. ”

He took the potions out of his inventory and stacked them on the floor. It's low, but there should be enough.

“Huh, where's your best friend? But is that magic? Where the hell did you get this? ”

“You'll get hurt if you know. ”

“That's ridiculous. Dissect it?”

Sofia began to stutter the body of the meteor. To find out where the potion came from.

“Huff! Don't touch it! Get out of the way!"

“Hold still! I can't stand the curiosity. ”

“Oh, really! Get out of here! ”

“Tsk!”

Sofia stepped back with a short scream as she pushed her voice.

“This!”

“Sophie! Stop it! What the hell are you doing? ”

“But Grandpa! He pushed me! ”

“Sophie!"

“Yes……. ”

Sofia, who was overwhelmed by Manstein's mourning, began to look closely at General Manstein with her head down.

“I'm sorry. My granddaughter is so stranded..."

"Warden, she's a crazy bitch, not a wallop. ’

Manstein bowed his head and apologized to him. Meteor flowed through Sofia.

‘Whew.'

Sophia's actions, with her fingers carefully spread out over the sky in the middle of her hands and her tongue sticking out, were completely invisible to the actions of the woman who would soon be thirty.

‘Patience, patience. Yooseong Han!'

Yooseong has overcome the second crisis.

‘Sofia Manstein. I'll only look at you three times. ’

The trial is in three trials, and the scissors are in three generations. Anything should be given a third chance. The count has already gone up to 2. On the count of 3, Yooseong is Manstein, a tank, and I decided to make Sofia a true conceptual person without needing to be.

Meteor looked back at Sofia. It was said to be 30 next year, but in the view of Yooseong, Sofia did not look at all familiar.

Fifteen? ’

I didn't seem to recall anything that looked short or round.

“He looks like a genius after Manstein's blood. I'm a little ashamed to call myself a genius with my mouth. ”

Manstein said to him that he had read his thoughts.

‘There is no concept of what a genius does......’

Yooseong thought that if Sofia didn't change her personality, she would one day be a big fan.

"Warden, take care of your granddaughter. Or just with my hands... '

I thought I wanted Yooseong to quickly count to 3.

“Our sink is always thirsty for new research. Our lab scientists are the ones who are going to be awake in the middle of the night if we say new research. The scientists in our sink will gladly do you a favor. The Mana asked you to build a weapon that could pierce matter? All right, I'll make you one. ”

“Then……. ”

“If you have the budget. ”

Manstein's request was simple. I was going to make you a weapon, so I asked you to pay for the research. Yooseong has no money. But Jerome was there.

He stared at Jerome.

“Well."

“Let's make some money. ”

“Speaking of which, do you have any idea how much money it would cost to start researching in a tank? from at least a billion credits to as many as a trillion units. ”

Credit is an integrated currency unit of the New World. It is convenient to think that roughly 1 credit is 1 won.

“That much credit is ruined? ”

“Of course. It's not a childish prank, and it's a lot of money. ”

“So you won't lend it to me? ”

“Yes.”

“Exclusive to Horseshoe. ”

“You threatened me with that... ”

I don't know why, but Jerome seemed to care a lot about the coronation before he arrived in Ganymede. That's why Yooseong referred to the exclusive right to sale.

“Okay, I'll lend it to you. Instead, the contract must be with me. And make sure you pay back the money later. ”

Regardless of the sale to the stable, Jerome was about to contract. People who have also done business are good at it.

“Then the cost problem is over. Thank you. Jerome, the water in our sink. ”

“Warden, my money is not limitless. Please deliver the results as soon as possible. ”

“If you rush anything, you'll ruin it. Jerome, you know what I'm saying? 'I wish I had a little more time and budget.' ”

“Isn't that what doctors in comics say all the time when they fail? ”

“Yes. So if you don't want to waste the money, don't rush it. Relax and wait. I'm not rushing you. Take a little break and come back next week. By then, we should have had some results. ”

After finishing the conversation, General Manstein began to move quickly. He was on the phone, gathering scientists. From now on, I felt like I was about to embark on a study.

Tuk-tuk.

Jerome saw Manstein like that and touched his arm with his elbow.

“Don't just stand there, let's go. It'll only get in the way if I stay here. ”

Jerome and Yooseong came out of the sink.

* * *

“Come next week? That Manstein warden, he seems to be making things easier. How do you know you can make a weapon in a week? ”

“Sink tanks are for real geniuses only. Don't let criminals like us try to understand genius. My head hurts.”

“Still, I don't think it's for a week.... ”

“Blessed is he who believes, and the kingdom of heaven is yours. Have faith and wait. Sink tanks are never gonna let you down. ”

Jerome put an endless amount of trust in the sink.

“Don't forget to come back next week. I've transmitted the location to your terminal. Then I have work to do and I'll go first. ”

“Going? Where? ”

“Mars. Something happened at the Hephaestus Workshop, so I have to go. ”

“Then what am I supposed to do? ”

“What the hell. Walk around Ganymede for a week or so. Or go to the casino. ”

“I don't even know the geography of this place. ”

“Are terminals foam? It's all coming out when you search. I don't know. Ask your AI. I saw at the hospital that you had a personal AI. ”

Jerome recalled Eve, whom he saw in his room, and told him.

“I'm going. Get some rest and go inside. ”

Jerome waves back to the shuttle center. What remained of Yooseong in Ganymede alone was a matter of what to do next.

[Rest. There will be no rest for you from now on.]

“Why are you saying that to make me nervous? ”

Eve asked me to rest when I could.

[When I return to the Old World, I will now have to go to the dungeon every day and buy some. And when the vacation is over in the New World, you have to come back to the front.]

“Oh, my God. ”

It reminds me, in the New World, he was a soldier. Maybe we'll have to fight evolution again when we get back. Fighting evolution in the yard, even fighting monsters, doesn't seem like much anymore, but I think I have to fight in this world, and the meteor became depressed.

“Is there a sign here? ”

[Of course there is. But should your father leave it alone?]

Han Se-chan enlisted to fix the mind of Yooseong and realize Nobles Oblige. He couldn't have gone through with it. If he saw his limbs intact, he probably wouldn't allow it.

“I'm the only one who's struggling because of something I didn't do...”

He blamed himself for the New World, which is not dying now.

Like Eve said, you should rest when you can really rest. Yooseong took a handset and searched for the location of the planet Ganymede. I had to enjoy it when I could.

* * *

A week has gone by really quickly. A week later, Yooseong went straight back to the sink after touring several of the landmarks in Ganymede.

It wasn't until I had one more vision of the guards operating a hidden secret device in the middle of the forest, riding an elevator, and always pointing a gun at my head that Yooseong met with General Manstein.

“I never thought I'd make a weapon in a week.... I can't believe it.”

I think I understand why Jerome told me not to try to understand geniuses in the unsub's mind. And why he told me to wait with faith. The sink was a man of their word.

“This is the prototype. Because the base is a jacquard, appearance is no different from traditional jacquard, but it's the contents that matter. The existing jacquard was destroyed because it couldn't contain the reactions generated when Manatan was fired. So it's made by mixing adamantium alloy and compressed titanium alloy. Adamantium broke some money. ”

"Adamantium," says Dr. Manstein, was a new mineral discovered by humanity as it pioneered the universe. He named the legendary metal Adamantium because it was so strong and lightweight compared to the minerals. Adamantium had many useful birds. And it was one of the key resources that accelerated human space exploration.

“But more importantly, the bullet. This is the point.”

General Manstein, who was holding Jakal's ammunition, separated the shell from the bullet. Then the blue powder poured out from inside.

“Is this Mana? ”

I could feel the magic in the blue powder piled up on my desk.

“That's right. Finished refining and processing. Sophie did it.”

Manstein points to Sofia. Sofia, who was sitting in a chair, twisting her legs and drinking coffee, looked at Yooseong and raised her stop.

‘That thing again……. ’

I was angry, but it didn't count. Yooseong decided to skip this one time.

“Sophie managed to solidify by extracting Mana from the potion you gave her. Then it was refined into powder like gunpowder and processed in various ways. Then Manat reacted and exploded even in a small spark like gunpowder. And then I put it in the bullets like gunpowder. So you know what happened? ”

Manstein played a video

In the video, there was a security guard shooting at the shooting range in the sink tank.

Bam, bam! Tada!

The guard aims at the target plate and fires. The bullets fired by the guards are lightly torn apart and trapped deep within the solid walls beyond.

“So powerful. ”

“It's a lot of power. It's devastating. It's penetrating. If we take on evolution with this weapon, the war against evolution will soon be over. But here's the thing. ”

“Problem?”

“I told you I refined these Mana Powder Potions. By the way, the refining efficiency of potions is poor. The amount of Mana Powder you can make with the potion you gave me will only make two or three bullets. Poor efficiency. The first potion I gave you could make about 20 feet of Mana Powder, but not the rest. ”

The first potion that Yooseong gave for analysis was the potion he got from Park Jin Soo. The remaining potions were all Lesser Potions. Since the Mana content varies by potion, the amount of Mana Powder obtained by refining seemed different.

“So how many bullets did you make? ”

“About a hundred feet? ”

When I was gray, it was neither too much nor too little. A dungeon of the right size could be cleared if you use it carefully, though it should be quick to use it at all costs.

‘Let's go back to the Old World and test that jacquard and collect some points to buy a whole bunch of potions. ’

We also need to collect horseshoes. I don't know how much Jerome paid for the research, but I also had to repay the money I borrowed from selling the stable.

‘Hmm...... Would it be better for that alchemist to buy potions instead of buying them for points? ’

It seemed cheaper to buy potions from Park Jin Soo in cash than to buy them with points. and reduce the point waste. Meteor has a priority in mind, thinking it is better to use points to grow faster than to buy them all.

The first thing to do was to go back and try this manatan made in the sink first. I wanted to quickly go back and see if the gun worked for the monster.

“General Manstein. I'm leaving a few more potions here just in case. Please do another study with this. I'll bring more when I come next, so please ask me again next time. ”

“Of course we're welcome. Ask all you want."

“And you said Sophia, right? Thank you.I 'll take care of Manatan. ”

Yooseong thanked Sofia for improving her relationship and reached out to her first. But Sofia's reaction still stands.

“It's only been a few days since I met you, and you're already calling out my name? What's with all these guys? ”

Unemployed!

"No, you don't even remember what you did wrong. ’

This was also not angry enough to raise the count. But first, I reached out to improve the relationship, and it made me annoyed to see that reaction. Even if you did it first.

‘I'll see you at the real count. ’

I hoped that day would come soon.

[When you first meet someone, they call you by your last name, and when they get to know you, they call you by your first name. Looks like the user is Asian, so we have a problem.]

“I didn't expect to be offended by just calling out your name. ”

It was difficult to adapt the Western culture to Yooseong who had only lived in Korea since birth.

“I'll be going, then. ”

Yooseong greeted the scientists in the sink tank and whispered a small whisper as he passed by Sofia.

“You only have one more time. You better watch where you're going. I'm a male and female equalist.”

“What? What did you just say? ”

With Sofia screaming behind her back, Yooseong quickly exited the sink tank, opened the portal and headed to the Old World.

“I'll show you the power of technology! ”

Yooseong threw himself into the portal, pledging to show the fear of technology to hunter societies that are infested with cold weapons.
