Paper 112 The Hunt
jerk- jerk-
that extreme-
It is on the 6th floor.
The blades of grass and branches were still hard and sharp, and the monster’s cry resonated everywhere.
Jihoo’s [View] level is 6. I didn’t know when the 7th would be, but now I was able to appraise almost everything on the 6th floor with just this.
‘This is enough. I have this too.’
The most consumed ingredient these days was [Blitz Dandelion]. It was because there was a request for a gun, and it was good to use it for other accessories. Since the [Lightning] attribute is rare, even low-level lightning was useful.
Jihoo looked up at the bracelet.
There was a [subspace] bracelet on one side, and a [electric charge] bracelet and a [unique force field] bracelet on the other side.
Among them, [Bracelet for Electric Charge] was remodeled.
Since the object itself was a [masterpiece], there was no need to touch on durability or magical capacity. The surface volume was also not limited thanks to Kiliya’s magic pen.
『Electric Charge Bracelet [Storage] [Rare] [Lv. 06]』
: It is a bracelet crafted by a great artisan (master), but from the outside, it is very ordinary. When it is more than 200% charged, you can see its true form.
In addition, the skillful magic engineer’s magic circuit was added, making it possible to make deep use of the charged lightning.
*[Intermediate Charge]
*[Lower Attribute Linkage]
*[Lesser Shape Memory (Condition)]
– Charge amount (%): 200/200
*[Masterpiece Han Seong-gil’s Masterpiece (Hidden)]
– The bracelet that has found its true form amplifies the wearer’s lightning elemental power by 20% for 24 hours.
Nothing much has changed.
[Lesser Magical Charge] was removed and [Low Attribute Linkage] was added to increase the lightning attribute and charging speed of [Thunder]. But that alone raised the level of the [Bracelet for Electric Charge] by one.
‘Besides, 20% of the lightning attribute is amazing.’
Linking with [Thunder] created a synergy beyond simply helping the revolver with the bracelet. Because that was 20% of [Thunder]’s elemental power.
Not 20% of the destructive power.
Since it is 20% of the lightning attribute that holds the railgun, it is about 4% in terms of destructive power. However, that alone was equivalent to making Thunder grow one step bigger.
Originally, this bracelet had to be recharged by the owner of the lightning attribute like Lee Min-ho.
But now [Thunder] is playing that role for 24 hours, so I was able to maintain 200%. Of course, when using thunder, the charge rate temporarily decreases, so the 20% increase effect disappears when used in continuous fire.
It was a possible linkage because Jihoo’s magic circuit skills had improved, and it was also possible synergy because the stability and level were also very high.
‘Is it right to add a growth type to this as well?’
As the grade and level of the artifact increased, the presence of the keyword [growth type] weakened. This is because the SP consumption increased exponentially.
I thought it would be better to engrave a story like history by adding an explanation to the SP, so it is still pending.
“Didn’t I say hunting was the purpose today?”
“huh.”
“Can I get that point or something by hunting?”
“That’s it.”
“Such characteristics are really amazing. It’s like seeing it for the first time.”
“Isn’t it a bit similar to [food god]? They say that you can save what you eat as points and turn it into a stat during battle.”
a famous star
Perhaps that person is quite a fan, he also broadcasts eating shows and hunting while also working on [Tube], a personal video upload channel.
“Oh, the tube? Are you there?”
“Yeah, I think I passed by. I don’t watch eating shows well.”
Shh-
In an instant, Lee Hee-yeon put her index finger to her lips and lowered her stance. This means that a monster has been detected nearby.
A few seconds later, Jihoo’s senses also caught the monster. It was an ordinary [Wood Pig] with a level of about 6.
‘Is it far away?’
‘Looks like I’ll have to approach it a bit.’
‘okay.’
You just need to show it.
Because if you get caught in sight, you can mark it. Right now I can only feel it through my senses, so I couldn’t [Read] or mark it.
‘This is why experience is so important.’
What if you could do [marking] with your ‘senses’ beyond what you do with your eyes? Or, it wouldn’t be bad to create an artifact that expands your field of vision.
‘I’ll have to think about it if I do.’
The two walked for about 10 minutes.
very slowly Be careful so no one notices. When I went 50m like that, I was able to witness a wood pig rubbing its body against a huge tree.
The distance is about 100 m.
There was an open area in the middle, so I could see it from quite a distance.
Click.
Jihoo took out [Thunder] and loaded it. It is a loading method in which the ‘hammer’ with the ‘ball’ that strikes the bullet is passed backwards.
There is no such thing as a ‘ball’ for a magic rail gun. However, as a single trigger, the action of pulling the hammer is required.
ugh-
The moment he pulled the hammer, [Thunder] began to gather mana. Sparks flew around as he sucked the lightning attribute from his rechargeable bracelet.
‘There’s a problem with the loading speed. It’s okay to shoot right away, but it’s a problem because the difference in destructive power is large.’
definitely regret it
After seeing [Mirinae], the golden revolver owned by Park Sang-kyu, president of [Drilled Shell Case], my eyes went high.
It is capable of unlimited rapid fire without losing destructive power. In addition, from marking to tracking. It was an unbelievable artifact.
On the other hand, Jihoo’s [Thunder] takes time to recharge his mana, sparks fly, and he says ‘I’m preparing for an attack!’ Also, how loud is the sound?
Taaang-!
When Jihoo pulled the trigger, there was a roar that could have resonated throughout the forest.
Definitely too noisy. This is not enough to attract aggro, rather, I will be surprised and run away.
Fain!
Jihoo was aiming the gun directly at Wood Pig. Like the previous shot into the sky, I aimed straight enough to make fine adjustments without the need for large spatial distortions.
It was a moment.
After the 100m distance disappeared and the tungsten bullet hit Wood Pig’s body, even Jihoo couldn’t perceive it.
Between the place where Jihoo was standing and where Wood Pig was, a strange vortex appeared as if a vacuum tube was connected. Originally, it must have been an invisible circulation of air, but the smoke from the tungsten bullets seemed to be visible.
And around it, bright yellow sparks were constantly crackling and maintained, and it was a shock wave that was clearly stronger than what I had seen before.
cooong-
And belatedly, Wood Pig collapsed. Heeyeon Lee stood still with her mouth open and looked at the fallen wood pig.
“… … crazy.”
Come to think of it, Lee Hee-yeon was not with Ji-hoo when he caught the monster. I knew it was strong because I had only heard it through rumors, but I didn’t expect it to be this strong.
Jihoo brushed his arms and opened his mouth.
“Ugh, my arm hurts. It’s definitely because the recoil is too strong. But isn’t this too loud?”
“That is not natural. How do you shoot the cannon without making a fuss?”
“… … That’s right.”
What Jihoo wanted was a secret room like the dark shadow. There were too many cons than pros to throw away a tee like this.
If he had been a servant, he would have been fascinated by this kind of effect, but Jihoo was a person who valued efficiency more than appearance.
“Oh, it stings!”
Is Lee Hee-yeon foolish, or is he doing it on purpose? I touched the sparks that flickered in the air. Heeyeon’s fingertips were burned with a crackle.
“Wow- this is not just visible, but there must be damage, right?”
“of course. It’s the power that activated the railgun. Besides, with the smoke added to the vortex, it will last from 5 to 10 seconds?”
“Why don’t we use this to create an offensive option?”
“What bullsh*t is that-”
“Why, it would be useless to catch one like this, but do you remember 10 years ago? When the fist-sized [Mud Bees] came in droves.”
“… … .”
“I want to catch a lot of junk mobs. It’s the [Electro Field] effect used by most 5-star wizards.”
Come to think of it, that’s not wrong either.
At this level, you shouldn’t be attracted to aggro, but you should worry about the monster running away. However, if the main purpose is eradication rather than hunting, this could be better.
Rather, it is possible to bet the option on the noise, and it can be helpful to maintain and strengthen the wavelength of lightning.
“It wouldn’t be bad… … Because I’m not that good at it. I have to do one of the two, but I don’t think I’ll be able to hunt if that happens?”
First of all, the basics of hunting are covert pursuit. No matter how monster it is, the moment it senses the opponent’s strength, it will hide.
In particular, on this 6th floor, there are more sly monsters than I thought. Even the [Correspondent] and [Magical Devourer] I saw before would try to run away whenever they had a chance.
“Well, I didn’t mean to say that, I just said my thoughts.”
“Thanks for the help. I’ll think about it later. I should make another revolver or something. Or upgrade the Umbral.”
Ji-hoo and Lee Hee-yeon reached Wood Pig. It wasn’t [Magic Iron], it was a level 5 Wood Pig made of common metal.
Other than the [Middle Mana Stone], there was nothing that could make much money.
-[Wood Pig (Lv. 05)] hunted!
-500 SP paid.
– [Wood Pig Hunting Request (Quest)] is created!
‘It’s 500, so it was definitely tight. If you don’t catch them in large numbers, it’s better to catch new monsters.’
There was also survival SP, so it wasn’t lacking much, but I felt it was lacking because I had already gained 50,000 SP.
At this speed, getting 20,000 SP might be all it takes to fill up two full days. If so, I’m a little sorry.
“Let’s go deeper.”
“Are you okay?”
“yes I’m fine. And take this.”
Jihoo handed over a bracelet containing a penental supervibration field.
“This?”
“Of course it’s not given, it’s a rental.”
“… … Sheesh, sorry. no thank you He is also my friend!”
“It is expensive. It’s because it’s a Panental with an intermediate-level unique force field. Most of the level 6 attacks can be blocked.”
“okay.”
She received the bracelet without complaint.
She will know. That she could be a hindrance to Jihoo with her current level of power.
‘Lee Hee-yeon needs to become a little stronger.’
Right now, on the 6th floor, the metal stingray [Sword] and [Shield] made by Jihoo. [Ogre’s Gloves] and [Intermediate Unique Force Field]. In addition, [Sawed Off Shotgun] for destructive power.
It is possible to show the power level of level 6 or higher enough. However, Jihoo’s [Desolate Darkness] and [Thunder] can handle level 8 defense and attack power. The difference between the two levels is bigger than you think.
‘It’s not a problem on the 6th floor, but in order to aim for the 7th floor, you need to grow up one level.’
After thinking about that for a while, Jihoo said to Heeyeon Lee.
“Let’s get busy hunting from now on.”
“It must be very difficult… … ?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe it’s because I handed over the force field bracelet, but I don’t say it’s dangerous.
“If you go down this time, I’ll give you a present.”
“Nice! Alright, then I’ll risk my life to protect you and track down my prey! Leave it to me!”
Certainly, the effect of the gift was great.
Lee Hee-yeon ran and tracked down the enemy, and Ji-hoo followed her and fired after marking.
If it wasn’t a particularly expensive by-product, I didn’t even bother to collect it. So they were able to hunt 5 wood pigs, 4 small birds and 1 metal stingray in 5 hours.
As expected, the metal stingray was tricky, but I was able to get rid of it with a five-shot burst using [Time for Setup] and [Super Concentration].
“Huh-Huh-I think I should take a break?”
“Yeah, I can’t even see the monsters anymore.”
Jihoo looked at the system text.
So far, I’ve hunted a total of 10, and I’ve gotten 6,700 hunting SP excluding survival SP. It’s a shame because there’s definitely nothing new.
The next day, Jihoo and Lee Hee-yeon hunted about 15 more monsters and were able to get off the tower without any major variables.
I took some important by-products, and I was able to collect a total of 30,000 SP, including the surviving SP. It was a smaller number than usual, but it was a satisfactory climb for what I gathered in two days.
But it was not enough.
This SP required selection and concentration.
