-1 Volume 6
Jeong Dae-sik was annoyed.
‘It doesn’t go up every 10 points, but it goes up every 1 point? Isn’t this a complete scam? What’s so expensive? If you raise a few dozen points, you will eat billions!’
But even complaining about cancer was to no avail.
If it’s someone else, I’ll try to bargain, but this isn’t the case. I had no choice but to give him the money he asked for.
‘Damn!’
In my mind, I didn’t want to spend money on abilities.
However, Jeong Dae-sik, who has been a porter for several years, has seen and heard many things.
The first thing that came to mind was the timing of the hunters’ deaths. The time when the hunters died the most was the first hunt.
He seemed to have become an Awakened without knowing it, and he entered the dungeon excitedly and just died right away. I’ve seen such cases in real life, and it’s a fact that’s also shown as statistical data, so I couldn’t go into the dungeon naked without any preparation.
I had to preserve my life as much as I could, so raising my mana level was considered very important.
‘I’m not a healer, I’m not a tank, I’m a dealer. Dealers are the first to attack. If you clumsily disperse and invest in your defense, you won’t be able to eat or porridge. So, since you bought a weapon from a ranged dealer, you should think about using this weapon to the fullest. To do that, he has no choice but to increase his magical power.’
The conclusion was that the horsepower level had to be raised.
Daesik Jeong invested the money with tears in his eyes.
I paid 27 million won at the shop to buy magic points.
‘Once the magic power level has been raised to 17. The bankbook is empty, but once the money has been spent, it is unavoidable. What is important is how much attack power has risen.’
Jeong Dae-sik pointed the gun again and fired at the target.
Taang!
‘Five!’
Unlike before, the sound of magic bullets being fired resounded loudly.
A deafening noise resounds, and the target ‘Puck!’ and exploded
At the same time, the displayed attack power has been greatly increased.
‘Attack power has risen to 340! Considering that the target is broken, is it okay if I do this?’
After practicing more for the rest of the time, Jeong Dae-sik captured the weapon.
When he came out, the material that evaluated his skills was automatically printed out.
Looking at the total score, it was marked as 8th grade.
If it was a level 8 one-dil, it was quite a bit for a beginner level.
Since a beginner is usually a 10th grader, I didn’t even hear the sound of being a beginner wherever I went.
‘It was an unexpected expense, but it was well worth it. Instead, other equipment should be bought as cheaply as possible.’
Jeong Dae-sik headed to the flea market located in the back alley of the arms store.
There was a street selling all kinds of old goods from the dungeon.
From worn-out armor, bloody clothes, worn flints, boots, gloves, breastplates, backpacks, etc.
there was nothing
From there, Jeong Dae-sik picked and picked up the rest of the equipment as cheaply as possible.
I didn’t have the money to buy even armor, so I bought an old leather jacket and pants, gloves and a walker.
In addition, I bought goggles fitted with tempered glass, a hat-type helmet made of reinforced plastic, a water bottle with a purification function and a belt with a multi-purpose hook, a 30-meter-long wire rope that never breaks, and a hidden sleeping bag.
With that, the account balance was completely exhausted.
There were only a few dozen left, and I felt like I was starting to feel depressed.
I felt like I had squandered my fortune in one day and was left on the brink.
‘Even with the most basic equipment, it costs a lot of money.’
Jeong Dae-sik sighed and logged out of mobile banking.
Then, at a nearby market, I filled my stomach with a bowl of soup for 4,000 won and devised a hunt straight away.
‘The nearest dungeon from here is S7. Because there are so many people looking for a slicer pot…’
Jeong Dae-sik found a public bulletin board for recruiting mak-gong.
I selected the S7 from the categories divided by dungeons.
Then several posts came to mind.
‘Let’s see…’
Jeong Dae-sik, who picked a suitable article from there, sent a note to the post writer.
– It’s a one-deal, shooter. Can I join the hunt today?
The reply came right away.
-Available. Do you have time right now?
-Yes, I’ll be there in 30 minutes.
– Then I’ll see you there on the first floor.
Jeong Dae-sik hesitated a little, then added a word.
– Oh, but I’m a beginner. Still, I have some experience as a porter, so I know a little bit about hunting.
Then the other person did not speak for a while.
He seemed to be contemplating whether or not to take Jeong Dae-sik, a beginner.
But it wasn’t long before I got an answer.
-it’s okay. Everyone has a beginner’s day. If you’ve ever worked as a porter, you probably know this.
-thank you. Then I’ll see you later.
After making an appointment at high speed, Jeong Dae-sik put down his phone.
Then, after slurping the cold soup, he got up from his seat.
‘This feels new again!’
S7 Dungeon.
It means that it is the seventh dungeon in Seoul.
S7 was one of the most popular dungeons in the area.
It is located in Seoul, so it can be accessed by subway, and it is quite large for a dungeon in the city center.
There were various kinds of monsters, and it was always crowded with people.
Thanks to this, Jeong Dae-sik also visited this place several times.
Of course, it was the place where I always came as a porter.
When I became a hunter instead of a porter, I had a new feeling.
‘I came here as a hunter.’
Jeong Dae-sik walked around without a break, as if he were coming to the dungeon for the first time.
Then suddenly someone tapped his back.
“hey!”
I turned around to see a familiar face.
“Uh, Cheol-min Han. It’s been a while.”
Chul-min Han, like Dae-sik Jeong, was a porter.
Daesik Jeong and Daesik of the same age often met in this area and worked together.
Occasionally he asked me for a job, but I looked to see if today was that day.
“Are you going to work right now? My brother-in-law called me to go hunting here today. So, let’s go together. Just give me a fee of 100,000 won!”
The personnel office usually deducted 10% of the daily rate for the introduction fee.
If you want to save that money, you can get a job directly from the hunter.
Occasionally, porters who were close with the Hunter would ask for a job like this and recruit people directly.
And the work was distributed at a lower price than the manpower office.
Of course, since it was something he was willing to do, Jeong Dae-sik almost reflexively replied ‘yes’.
But today he did not come here as a porter.
He had come as a hunter, so after hesitating for a while, he shook his head.
“No, I’m fine.”
“Ugh? What are you doing?”
“I just have some business to do.”
At that moment, someone came closer waving his hand.
He was Man-ki Hong, who worked with Dae-sik Jeong yesterday.
Perhaps Han Cheol-min introduced him to a job, and he made a friendly face and pretended to know Han Cheol-min.
“Hey, Cheol-min Han! Thanks for contacting me! Even so, the line in front of the manpower office was really long today.
Then, one beat later, I saw Jeong Dae-sik and stopped walking.
“Uh! Daesik Jeong… What are you doing here?”
Han Cheol-min did not know why Hong Man-ki was surprised to see Jeong Dae-sik.
Without thinking that he had awakened, he explained the situation to Man-ki Hong again.
“There aren’t enough people, but Daeshik also ran into this guy. The three of us should go together.”
Then, Hong Man-gi slapped Han Cheol-min on the shoulder.
“Dae-sik Jeong, why is this guy working with us?”
“why not?”
“Jung Dae-sik woke up yesterday!”
“What?”
As if Hong Man-ki had been waiting for Han Cheol-min, who was surprised and questioned, he stuttered.
“Well, I’m sweeping away the slime, and all of a sudden, a light comes out of that guy’s body.
Hong Man-ki, who talked exaggeratedly for a long time, finally came to a conclusion.
“…and that’s how Jeong Dae-sik won the lottery. This isn’t it. Now, we’re different people. Now we’re hunters.”
Then, Chul-min Han opened his mouth wide.
“Really? Hunter? Are you Jeong Dae-sik?”
In response to Han Cheol-min’s question, Jeong Dae-sik meekly nodded his head.
“That’s right.”
“oh my god!”
Han Cheol-min, who had been disbelieving, looked at Jeong Dae-sik anew.
“Somehow, you said that you’re dressed differently today. I thought that a yellow person like you was dressed strangely and coolly… Hey, it’s so plausible. You look like a real hunter.”
Seeing Han Cheol-min and Hong Man-gi trembling, Dae-sik Jeong scratched the back of the head in embarrassment.
Excessive admiration was burdensome, but such a reaction was not unpleasant.
Actually, I was just surprised.
Jeong Dae-sik, who was a porter, became a hunter overnight…
“Hey, it’s good anyway. If you have a job in the future, please find us.”
“Yeah, I have other business today, so it’s unreasonable.”
The two guys who were talking congratulations remembered their work belatedly.
And he said goodbye to me that I should stop now.
“We’ll be late. We’ll talk more later.”
“If you make a lot of money, buy me a drink!”
Jeong Dae-sik also had to hurry in order not to be late for the appointment.
So, I left a message telling me to contact you soon.
If it had been before, Daesik Jeong would have to go with them, but today the direction was different.
He passed the manpower office with a long line and headed straight for the dungeon entrance.
At the entrance of the dungeon, a large ‘S7D’ guide sign stood like a subway station or tourist attraction.
The interesting thing is that there are no other features to be found.
Strictly speaking, a dungeon was an ‘entrance’. It is like a door leading to another space. After passing through the entrance, a space quite different from the global environment appeared.
A complex road and numerous rooms leading to the ground or underground. It looked like a dungeon in the game without fail.
If there was a difference, unlike the game, it was full of realism in a good sense or a bad sense.
The first floor of the S7 dungeon was nothing like the market floor.
Since the S7 Dungeon is so famous, it was difficult to find any sense of mystery.
There were a lot of bulletin boards here and there, and it was crowded with people with various purposes.
From merchants who deal with the hunters entering the dungeon, to hunters who came out for direct trade, to blacksmiths and wizards who simply repair weapons or cast protection magic.
It was also the hunters who accounted for the most weight in the crowd.
Most of them were people who came out of the barracks.
Makgong is the opposite of a formal raid called Jeonggong. Literally, it means to form a team from time to time according to need or purpose. Usually, such a makgong was a mess in its composition.
In the case of a healer or a buffer, there was no reason to be involved in the last ball. It is difficult to see in this place because it is taken from Jeonggong.
Therefore, most of the makgong were dealers. Although the types of occupations were slightly different, they were all unwilling or close.
They usually aim for recruitment in the hole. Occasionally, in order to save power in order to defeat the targeted monsters in the hole, there were cases where the dealer was taken to a large number to deal with shields or daggers.
However, if you wear it, you could be compensated separately, although there would be some risk.
Not only that, but everyone wanted that position because it was possible to gain a good experience. If you were lucky enough to hit the jackpot, you could get an unexpected extra income.
If you show off your skills well, you will also get a chance to be scouted in the field of work.
But such a place was rare. Even if there was such a place, it was a story that did not apply to a beginner like Jeong Dae-sik.
