– Volume 2 Episode 12
Jeong Dae-sik also saw Ki Cheol-min rolling on the floor because he couldn’t do anything about the caterpillar that had stuck to his face and ran towards it.
And with one hand, he fed the larvae, which were as hard as stones, and crushed them to death.
But Ki Cheol-min had already bit his nose by the caterpillar.
He was very distressed and wept.
His face was torn off the center of his face, and his face was horrendous.
Jeong Dae-sik hurriedly took out the supplied potion and poured it into his face.
Fortunately, the bleeding stopped quickly.
But there was no way to stick a sloppy nose.
As an insignificant hunter, there’s no way he’d have enough money to fix his face.
It was questionable whether he would use a heel for him, who is not an official member of the Zodiac raid.
Healer’s existence was quite precious.
It can’t even be compared with a buffer.
In fact, there was only one healer included in the advance squad.
Even in a massive Zodiac raid, there are only about five healers, so it’s worth knowing the rarity.
Besides, the heel itself consumes a tremendous amount of magical power, regardless of its type.
I would never use it unless it was very urgent and important.
Of course, there was no way he could use a heel for such a wound that was not life-threatening.
At this rate, Ki Chul-min would have to live his whole life in a terrible state.
‘I can’t help it.’
Jeong Dae-sik clicked his tongue.
to do it now
It was judged that the only chance to fix his face was now that Ki Cheol-min was unconscious and others were preoccupied with the battle.
Jeong Dae-sik didn’t think for a long time.
“therapy.”
Jeong Dae-sik used his skill while holding his nose in place.
A soft light spread and Ki Chul-min’s nose stuck in place.
The skill level was low enough to make the scars disappear, but at least the wounds were rotten and had to cut off the nose.
Being able to look after him, Dae-sik Jeong pushed Cheol-min Ki to a safe place and ran out to fight.
Because Kwang Pil-doo ignored Hwang Mi-geon’s instructions and killed the beetle, the damage caused by the large species was not that great.
The problem was the caterpillars that exploded due to the sudden action of the lighthead.
Despite being a small species, the larvae were so ferocious and numerous, the damage was considerable.
Almost all of the temporary crew were wounded, and only three were killed.
None of the regular crew members died, but the ribs were cut off by the beetle.
He was given an osteotomy potion that attached broken bones to heal his injuries.
However, the temporary crews who received only hemostasis or anti-inflammatory potions were not in good condition.
That night.
At the third base camp, the sound of sickness overflowed.
Hwang Mi-gun was not particularly disappointed when he saw the temporary crew members lying sick.
Of course, as if they knew this would happen, they said that their role ended here.
“From tomorrow, the temporary crew will remain here, and only the regular crew will continue to hunt. The latter will arrive tomorrow afternoon, so the temporary crews will wait and join them.”
After all, the role of the temporary crew is to deal with the mongrels.
From tomorrow onwards, the temporary crew had no role to play, as they were going to enter the danger zone where the boss mobs lurk in area C, grades 5 and 6, and large species haunt.
Since they were injured and unable to move anyway, Hwang Mi-gun excluded them without any regrets.
However, Jeong Dae-sik seemed to be an exception.
She looked at Jeong Dae-sik and said.
“You’re not injured, so come with us? That power would be of great help.”
It was okay not to follow it, but that would make a difference in income.
It must have been the large bells and boss mobs in Area C that could actually be considered as money.
I couldn’t leave it alone, so Jeong Dae-sik quickly accepted the word.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
Unexpectedly at that time, Ki Chul-min also stepped forward.
“I’ll follow you if it’s okay with you.”
Hwang Mi-gun looked at Ki Cheol-min with bandages wrapped around his face.
“Are you injured? But can you go? Area C is very dangerous. The reconnaissance team can’t get ahead any longer. No one can guarantee their lives if they go inside, are you okay?”
Ki Chul-min nodded his head.
Hwang Mi-gun shrugged as if there was no reason to stop him even though he said he would go.
As she left the barracks, Jeong Dae-sik told Ki Cheol-min.
“What kind of guts? Your face looks like that. Why don’t you just wait here and go back.”
Ki Cheol-min twisted his eyebrows.
“You idiot, do you mean to sit here and wait to die?”
“Think about it. After the advance squad leaves, the wounded remain here at the base camp. It takes a while for the latter to arrive. It’s late afternoon, but you don’t really know when they’ll come. In the meantime, you’re exposed to monsters defenselessly, it’s like waiting for death. none.”
“Is that really true?”
“They say they’ll give stealth treatment to the base camp, but the smell of blood is leaking, so I don’t know what’s going to happen. You have to survive on your own anyway. In that case, it’s better to just follow the advance squad. It’ll increase the risk, but you’ll make money. .”
Ki Cheol-min chose to make money even at the risk of being added.
They probably don’t know what Ki Cheol-min knows as other people.
Maybe it’s the blonde-haired idiot I’ve seen without thinking, but those who understand the physiology of the temporary crew must know what it means to be left behind.
However, he could not fight properly due to an injury, and in any case, he had to hide well until the late arrivals, so the chances of surviving were higher in the base camp.
Only Ki Cheol-min said that he would not choose any means or methods to become strong according to his goal.
Even though he had his nose ripped by a monster, he had a great will.
I thought he was a fearless guy, but Ki Chul-min said in a hurry.
“You?”
As soon as Ki Chul-min asked a question, Jeong Dae-sik guessed what he was asking.
But, without knowing it, I pulled off the shichimi.
Ki Chul-min narrowed his eyes.
“You’re the one who healed my nose, isn’t it? Without you, I can’t put my nose back together like this.”
“I don’t know, because I was too busy trying not to be eaten by his caterpillars.”
“If you don’t want to say it, then I’ll quit. Still, I’ll repay this favor someday.”
Ki Chul-min was looking deeper into the possibilities of Jeong Dae-sik than anyone else in this position.
Jeong Dae-sik was nervous inside and thought that he would have to be careful about his words and actions in the future.
However, they said they would enter a more dangerous area from tomorrow, so I wondered if that would be possible.
Ki Chul-min is going to rest, and Jeong Dae-sik is about to sit down.
The entrance to the barracks was heard and someone appeared.
He was none other than the day off.
“what’s going on?”
When Jeong Dae-sik asked, he gestured.
“Can you give me a minute? Our team leader is looking for you.”
It was very likely that the team leader of the tank team would see it as a scout offer.
Jeong Dae-sik tried to turn down Bae Woong-il’s request, saying he had no intention of becoming an official member.
However, the team leader would have killed him if he didn’t come with him, so he followed without a second thought.
Jeong Dae-sik met a man who said he was in charge of the tank team.
Since we were in the same advance squad, I had seen him several times from a distance.
The man who looked ordinary for a tanker announced his name as Park Moo-sik.
“Nice to meet you. Please sit down. What would you like to drink? Coffee? Cider? Orange juice?”
“No, thanks.”
When Jeong Dae-sik refused to drink and sat down, Park Moo-sik immediately brought up the subject.
“I asked for this position because I wanted to call Dae-Sik Jeong as our team.”
Jeong Dae-sik answered right away.
“Thanks for the offer, but I have no intention of joining the Zodiac raid. I haven’t been officially scouted yet.”
Park Moo-sik said he thought it would be the case because he had heard the story from Bae Woong-il and Lee Gye-won in advance, and brought out something.
It was none other than a provisional contract.
“The team leaders of all five teams strongly want Mr. Dae-Sik Jeong, so if there is a scout offer, I will go for it. And… Mr. Dae-Sik Jeong’s mind can change freely depending on the conditions.”
Park Moo-sik seemed to think that Jeong Dae-sik was trying to bargain with him.
Although he had intentions to join the Zodiac Raid in his heart, he decided that he was trying to raise the ransom, so he offered a provisional contract.
“I wrote this randomly, but most of it is a basic zodiac raid membership condition. Please read it.”
Jeong Dae-sik picked it up and glanced at it quickly.
Indeed, as Bae Woong-il and Lee Gye-won were making a fuss, it was a considerable condition.
It was almost like looking at the contract of a famous professional sports team.
While reading it, Jeong Dae-sik pointed to the red mark attached to the bottom of the contract.
Park Moo-sik answered.
“That’s my personal promise, on condition that you join our tank team.”
In fact, the content of the provisional contract was admirable as I had already heard it, but it was not surprising.
However, the contract that Park Moo-sik personally attached was surprising.
I don’t know, but it was clear that it was an unconventional condition.
Park Moo-sik couldn’t wait for Jeong Dae-sik to read it and spoke first.
“If you join our team, I will make sure that I receive the benefits that I enjoy as the team leader. This is purely giving my share. In other words, I want to put Dae-Sik Jeong into the team even at the cost of my loss.”
Park Moo-sik’s proposals include an additional 10% compensation, priority selection of items, unlimited application for supplies, and tax reduction benefits when recovering the investment.
It was all the rights he enjoyed as a team leader.
He meant that he would completely surrender that to Jeong Dae-sik.
