3. Meet the smuggler

“Phew... This is how the day ended. By the way, how am I supposed to save up money? Maybe I should sell a slime, just in case. What kind of profit would it make to go to the market and sell it? ”

In his head, he was anxious about how it was best for the lying parent to stay out of the way.

Sook-duk-dook.

But then I heard a voice from somewhere.

Where he is now, there is a barrier placed to prevent monsters from entering, a place no ordinary people should be. The sound comes from the wall that Urgin needs to cross. That is, someone is over the wall.

What are you talking about? Are they soldiers? '

Urgin lowers his posture immediately and carefully approaches the sound.

“Come on! Load it up. It won't end quietly on the day we run into soldiers for no reason. ”

Even Cyborg didn't look like a soldier. They looked ordinary, and the important thing is that they're moving something.

"Monster corpse"? ’

I did. What they're secretly transporting now is a dead monster. Moving the dead monsters outside the walls was being carried out by several people, and there seemed to be several people inside the walls as well.

Fluffy.

Knowing that they were not soldiers, Ujin appeared cautiously.

The moment he appeared, those who were transporting the monster's corpse turned their heads to him in shock. One of them, who had been looking at him for a while, said.

“Ah! Fuck. I almost lost my liver. I thought you were a soldier again! ”

He spoke out loud toward Ujin, and others were also impressing him.

“I'm sorry. I just heard a noise. ”

“Damn it. You can hear it or not. Why are you here? Reduce people's lives. Come on, let's get to work. There's no time.”

He was immediately sending a distress call to the workers. It was a gesture like it was nothing. His handiwork continues, and the workers are transporting the body of the monster again.

“What? Did you see it? What are you doing here, anyway? ”

He glances over and asks a question.

“I was hunting monsters. ”

His expression changed slightly.

“Monster hunting? Does that mean you're a power guy? ”

“Yes…… something like that. ”

“Even a man with abilities can't just barge in here.... ”

He had a question, but he no longer spoke to him.

“Ha... No matter how much illegal hunting and smuggling are playing these days, do you hunt those who don't have blood on their heads?" Slime? Some kind of perverted rabbit? ”

“Yes… just something……. ”

“Yes. Hunt hard. ”

He felt he no longer needed to care for him. While watching him without being moved for a moment, Woojin spoke to him first.

“Is this about illegal trading of the monsters you hunt? ”

He was smoking a cigarette when he said that, and he was surprised.

“Huh? Look at this guy! What do you mean, illegal trafficking? We're just catching monsters for the lesser part of the country, and we're careful to sell them to the lesser part of the country. Why are you looking at people so badly? Haha... It's easy to misunderstand if someone hears it. ”

Just hearing his words, it seemed clear that he wasn't trading monsters normally.

"Yes! I've come up with a way to replace Alba! ’

Woojin asked him again without a thought.

“So can I buy what I've hunted? ”

He sighed as he robbed the butt of a cigarette and said without even looking at Woojin.

“Like I said, you can have the slime. We don't deal with that. ”

“Well, what do you deal with first?

“At least be an E. And then there's what's left. Why, so you can hunt class E, too? Puhahaha.”

“Hahahaha.”

“Haha, don't play with the kid. ”

A lot of people were smiling at Ujin. It seemed like a teenager had to make fun of the idea that he was hunting Class E.

“Hey... if you don't mind, can I join you in the hunt?" I'm still capable... ”

At this time, I had no choice but to ask for it.

“Arthur. Monster hunting isn't just about abilities. Besides, we're elite members. I can't involve anyone. Hehe.”

The smuggler finishes the job. Then, along with the other workers, he disappeared from view over the fence.

So they all hid themselves, and Woojin thought to himself, going home alone.

‘I always knew you could make money on a hunt. But that's the minimum you can buy from Class E, right? Right now, what I've caught is Class G and Class F. At least Class E will be stronger than Goblins. Maybe it's too much to deal with right now. ’

Having already caught a lot of monsters, Eugene was able to make things right.

‘So let's level up in no time. If you level up, you might be able to hunt some Class E. ’

If you look at the growth trends over the years, you've decided that you can hunt Class E on your own soon enough.

‘The biggest problem is that I don't go to school...... Let's talk to my parents about this when we find out. ’

Woojin insisted and carefully walked into the house.

I finished hunting before sunset, but it was already evening after walking for quite a while.

‘Since you said you're doing your job anyway, let's hunt a little later tomorrow. I don't have that much time. ’

It was his idea to be a little help in the house.

When Woojin was young, his family was not this hard. He had some spare time to buy a gaming machine for Woojin, but his family became increasingly difficult from the beginning of his father's work, and eventually he couldn't live without getting a job from his mother.

‘With my current ability, I should be able to take a aptitude test and go to a talent institute. But going to the academy doesn't mean I can make money. Then you'd better make some money by doing illegal trading. ’

Although he had to live with the law as a citizen, he knew that his situation is not a worry-free family, even now.

‘Stay tuned. If I make money, I'll make sure you both don't suffer. ’

I wanted to be tested and named as a competent person right away, but I had to close the wall of reality on my own to live.

< level has increased. >

“Check out the Character Window! ”

Job: Electro.

Level: 34

HP: 680

Magic Power: 680

Force: 34

Agility: 34

Intelligence: 59

Wisdom: 50

EXP: 0/16000

Increases AP by 12 even if the current intelligence level is just. By the way, catching Class G monsters was getting easier. However, I was not able to challenge Class D easily because I had not yet seen a monster of Class E.

Currently, the monster he was holding was a crawfish type E monster with a large gathering called Gaultix. The clamping is considerably large and there is a level of danger, but the speed of movement of the short leg compared to the size was not very threatening.

Gaultix's life force was 480 and level was 15.

If you look at the state of things like this, it probably means that monsters in Class D can start from level 20.

‘Let's hunt when we see it, first of all let's focus on Class E until we get to a higher level. ’

As the hunt and level-up went smoothly, he had some connections.

“Are you here again today? ”

“Yes, I'm going to go after the hunt. ”

“Haha, yes. Let me know if you find anything useful later. I'll give you a good price. ”

Ujin smiled and replied.

“Don't worry. I was going to sell it to you anyway. ”

The man who heard the sound began to get furious by dropping the cigarette from his mouth.

“Hey!! Who said anything about you? I'm 36 years old! I haven't heard you in a while, have I? ”

“Yes? Ah... But I still looked like you... ”

“Do you want to die? You think he's a power guy and you think he's funny? If you do that, you won't buy a class D? ”

“Huh? I'm sorry! Tongue, brother, it's been so long!! I was 20 at first!! ”

“You sound like a big brother. The word" sir "itself seems to be speaking to an old man who is old enough. ”

“Then, brother! It's been so long. I'm not lying.”

As a right, I had to beg and pray to him right now.

“Well, if you insist...... but just know this. Next time, just say" uncle. "Then you and I will go to the police station together. You're an illegal trafficker. Do you understand?”

“Yes…. ”

“Go on, man. By the way, can you get me a slime? ”

“Yes? What's with the slime all of a sudden? ”

He said, rubbing his feet against the dead cigarette.

“Phew... It's nothing else. I've been trying to look after you lately. You know, slimes are good for your muscles. It's too expensive to go anywhere else. What kind of a slime is more expensive than Hanwoo? Can you save it? ”

“Phrase, you can get it. ”

In fact, after lying that he had started his part-time job, he thought that he could do anything if he could save up even a penny sooner.

“Can you get me five slimes tomorrow? I'll pay you 50,000 won per fish. ”

“Huh? Really? Got it!!"

Ujin crouches his head and stands beside him for a moment.

“By the way, what's your name? ”

Screw you.

His gaze is unusual.

“Why do you ask? ”

His eyes darkened, but Woojin replied with a small reply.

“That's the brother I know. It's funny you don't even know his name. ”

“Is that so? I'm sorry, but my family does not speak their names. Because you can bite them all at once. I never say my name unless I really don't believe it. And don't ask me for names, not just for me, but for the people of this family. You could get knifed if you don't. Just think about what we're doing, man. ”

Only then did Woojin understand the situation at hand.

‘By the way, now I'm also illegal... Or I'm involved in illegal hunting...' ’

Illegal hunting refers to the hunting of monsters without permission in the country. Moreover, because these things could not be bought and sold alone, smugglers were accompanied by capable men who could hunt illegally.

The main reason that talented people don't hunt illegally is because of money. If you catch monsters, you will be taxed for them. Moreover, if you hunt monsters, and not by yourself, you have to divide the money. Because there is not a lot of money left in each person's power until taxes, there are also some people who are capable of illegal hunting with no tax, which is why illegal traders are flourishing.

The workers are working hard to carry the body of the monster. He looks at the monster and opens his mouth again.
