A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

Whew!

Rawr!

Kang! Kang!

The robots are on the move. They use detectors to find where the minerals are, and they use built-in drills and mining machines to mine them. I put the mined stable in the container behind it, and when it's full, I move out and put the stable stones down. There was nothing to touch. Everything was automatic. It was perfect.

“Now I'm rich! ”

All you have to do is sell the cobblestone you mined to Jerome. In the New World, credits are used for money, so instead of credits, you can take money like gold or jewelry and sell it in the Old World. It was a happy beginning after suffering.

“All is well with the annoying gringos now. ”

As soon as I finish the preparations, I can rest easy. The goddess of jest said she'd kill Hunter when she stopped, so sometimes it's enough to appease the gods' uselessness around the dungeon. Or you can go to the New World and play catching evolutionists that are much weaker than monsters. From now on, it was as good as ever.

A playful happy pipe was waiting for Yooseong.

“For Happy's sake, we have to succeed this raid first. ”

Yooseong left the mine and received a text. It was a text from the alchemist Park Jin Soo.

[Sir, have you been well? It's me.Alchemist Park Jin Soo. I hear you're joining the Raid this time. Congratulations, by the way, I've made a new one for you, and I wanted to let you know that I think it's going to be a great help to you on Raid. I'd appreciate it if you could stop by sometime.]

“What is this human? ”

Yooseong never talked about participating in the raid in the neighborhood. And the other guild members were also not in the habit of telling the truth.

Then, how did Jin Soo find out about this?

I was curious about the identity of Park Jin Soo. He was a suspicious man. At first, I thought of myself as just an alchemist with a peculiar character. I thought I was the kind of person who didn't even know how to dust sales potions while catching Trolls and conducting biological experiments and focusing on research.

But doubts have sprung from the Isle of Angels. The key that Park Jin-seo gave me earlier was the key to the slaver's storage. It doesn't make sense since Jin has the key to the slave merchant's storage. The slaver and Park Jin Soo were completely unrelated.

But this was also a guess. Nothing is certain yet.

“Once you get there, you'll know something. ”

You may or may not tell me the truth. But if you were going to do something stupid to yourself, you would have to be beaten to death and confess everything. Yooseong headed to the market.

* * *

Tar-neung!

The shop's literature echoes with a clear sound. Park Jin-soo looked up at his smartphone at the sound of the literature.

“Welcome……. Aren't you the teacher? ”

Oh, fuck!

Yooseong threw away the key that he had received before.

“Oh! Oh! ”

Park Jinsoo dropped her smartphone holding the key that Yooseong threw.

“Phew! Thank goodness. No, sir. You can't just toss it like that without saying it. You were surprised.”

“Slave trader. You know you don't have to say it, right? ”

“Cancer, I know. Of course I do.”

Bang!

Yooseong slapped the counter with both arms and pushed out his face.

“Then explain yourself. When I say nice things. And how else did you know I was on the raid? ”

“I'll answer them slowly, one by one. If I get hit by a teacher now, it's going to hurt a lot. ”

Park Jin-soo put down her smartphone.

“The slaver was once my partner. ”

“So you enslaved people, too? ”

“No, no. Slavery in a liberal democracy. That should never have happened. A story from Estelle. Me and the slave trader were partners in Estelle. He was a business partner.”

“What did you do with the slaver? ”

“I made some magic tools. The goal was to improve Estelle's Mana restraints to create a Hunter restraint for hunters who use the air. I played a role in making special alloys for making those restraints. ”

“What was the key you gave me? The key to the slaver's storage. How the hell did you get it? ”

“I'm the one who made the lock. So, of course I have the spare key, right? ”

It wasn't a lying face. His eyes were staring straight at him. Breathing remained the same. It seemed to be true.

“Good. Let's skip that. How else do you know I'm in this raid? ”

“Alchemists usually have wide feet. because if you focus on research on exploration heat, sometimes you do things that are illegal. If you live like that, you'll be able to connect with people in phonemes like Hao Moon and the Information Guild by themselves. And Clearing the Raid Dungeon is a major industry with a global focus. Do you think you can't get the list of raids from the information handling guilds and doorways? I learned about it over drinks with an acquaintance in the Information Guild yesterday. ”

“Are you serious? You didn't do any research on me, did you? ”

“Why would I work with a teacher? If you don't believe me, try using the real stone. I'll prove my innocence. ”

Park Jin-soo pushed his face toward Yooseong and said.

“I believe you. So get rid of that face. What exactly are you gonna show me when you're done talking about this? ”

I turned the meteor upside down. Then, Park Jin-soo put his hand on his chin and gave a subtle look.

“Hehe. I think you're just trying to get off the topic, but it's not that important, so let's move on. That's why I contacted you. ”

Park Jinsoo took a small glass bottle from under the counter and placed it in front of Yooseong.

“Potion?”

A dark red liquid filled the glass jar.

“This is not a potion. If you're not a poison resistant person, it's a magic drug that twists and kills you even if you get one drop into your body. ”

“Poison.”

“Yes, it's a hemolytic poison made from the blood of this dragon. Monsters of the dragon family or dragon clan will not be poisoned when they become dizzy. But poison made from their own blood works. You said the expected Raid Boss of the Raid was a black dragon. This hemolytic poison made from dragon blood will help to kill the Black Dragons. ”

“Is Raid Boss a Black Dragon? ”

“I expected, but I heard it was supposedly a Black Dragon...... Did you not hear? You didn't know this when you joined Raid? ”

“Yes, I haven't heard from Raid Boss or Dungeon yet. ”

“This is why the government is the problem. I can't believe you didn't get the right information to the government hunters. Tsk tsk.”

Park Jin-soo kicked his tongue while cursing at the government.

“I don't belong to the government. The Small and Medium Guild Support Policy only supports you. ”

“Oh, did you? I thought you were a government hunter because you were named on the government personnel list. Well, that makes sense. It is clear that they are trying to tame the brothers and sisters, not the whole family. because this is how it's supposed to be recruited into the government. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“The Raid Dungeon is very difficult. Even A-rank and S-rank hunters, if they're not prepared, every bag will die. So after spending a lot of time researching what monsters are appearing in dungeons, what the boss is expected to be, what attributes the monsters are vulnerable to, and so on, the raids are done. If you don't like it, you can just squeak. The government was probably going to put teachers and guild members on this raid, imprint it so hard that they would offer to become government hunters. I'll give you the support you need, so come on in. ”

“That's why you didn't give me any information, just a dull date. ”

Again, the government was the government. Governments are not a group of fags. Smart people are gathering. The government wants to minimize losses and maximize profits. They never do a losing business.

“I'm not a dog, I'm a person. I can't be tamed. How much more do you intend to sell the hemolytic toxin for? I'll buy it.”

“Do me a favor and I'll give you a good price. ”

“What is your request? ”

“Do you remember what you said to me before? I said that I would be happy to help you if you asked me to take the elixir test in the future. ”

“W-what else did you make?" ”

“Yes, I did. It's not the elixir for raising your stats like before, but another potion. Can you help me out? ”

“…… What kind of potion? ”

I had an ominous feeling.

“This potion has melted magic. Theoretically, it's supposed to increase your tolerance when you take it, and I don't know what happens when you actually take it. That's why I called you. Red potions are fire-resistant and blue potions are ice -resistant. ”

“... You're sure, right? ”

“To enhance the potion's effectiveness, we have melted attack magic and defensive magic by attributes. ”

“I'm a little nervous. ”

I was anxious. Pretty much. I've suffered from petrification before, but this time I had a strong feeling. Yooseong's instincts were shouting for no.

“Then the hemolytic is bye-bye. ”

“I'll just pay for the hemolytic. ”

“I won't sell. ”

“Then I won't buy it. ”

I turned around.

“Huh?"

Park Jin-soo was embarrassed by the unexpected situation. I thought that if I knew Yooseong, I would get hemolysis after completing the potion test, but I didn't.

“Now, wait a minute. Sir, where are you going? ”

“Hemolysis looks good, but I'm not gonna wake up without it, so I'm just gonna go. ”

Yooseong opened the door of the store and stretched his feet out halfway.

Park Jin-soo is in a hurry.

“Yo, hemolytic. I'll give you that. So can you help me with the potion test? ”

“What would you do if you were petrified like the last time?" ”

“You have a very high level of Trait Resistance skills right now! ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“It's because of my skill, the Eye of the Wise. A skill that allows you to see some of your opponent's skills. I can see from your eyes that you have mastered most of the trait resistance skills. Please!”

Park Jin-soo bowed her head and asked.

In fact, since the resistance skill of the attribute is high, it will not be easily caught in the Petrifying state as before. That's why it didn't matter if you drank the potion, but you said you were just going because you didn't like how she was going to swing.

Hemolysis was clearly a key item that would be of great help to Raid. Getting hemolysis should be an easy way to finish the raid.

“Very well, I'll drink to that. ”

“Yes! Thank you. Teacher.”

Park Jin-soo gave the potions to Yooseong.

Boom!

When he opened the lid of the flame-resistant potion, a hot heat gushed from the bottle.

‘You said it was a Resistance Potion... …. ’

It was a potion that felt like the monster's face would catch fire if you took the lid off and sprayed it.

‘My fire resistance is at its maximum. You'll be able to withstand the side effects. ’

Yooseong closed his eyes and put on the potion bottle.

Gulp! Gulp!

When I drink the potion, the hot heat starts rising from my body. The heat that was boiling like lava made my body hot for a few seconds and disappeared like it had never been there.

“I think he's fine. ”

“You failed.”

“Yes?”

“Excuse me, sir? He's on fire. ”

“Yes? Huh! What the fuck! ”

His arms were on fire.

Shoot him!

Park Jinsoo took the fire extinguisher that was on the other side of the store and sprinkled it on Yooseong.

“Oops!" ”

“I should use Resistance potions for future attacks, not for Resistance. Thanks to you, I've been very helpful. I'll leave the hemolytic toxin here, so you can keep it. ”

Park Jin-soo, who put the fire extinguisher on the ground, dodges to the basement as if fleeing. It was because his expression was bad.

“You've mastered Flame Resistance skills. ”

The clothes that I was wearing were burned up and disappeared, but there was no soot on his body.

“Hac, I was going to sell the byproducts to the owner, but I have to go next time. ”

I couldn't leave in a ridiculous shirt with both sleeves burned off. The by-products seemed to need to be sold next time.

“Let's go home. ”

On SNS that day, there were articles about perverts walking the streets with their arms torn off.
