Yoon Sang-deok, who came into Lee Dong-soo’s house, whistled and said.
“Whick. Hunter is also a hunter. Is the house good?”
Then Lee Dong-soo said with a firm expression.
“If you’re going to say something useless, please leave.”
“Hey, what are you in a hurry? There is a saying that the faster you go, the slower you go, right?”
Then he said with a smile.
“But what… It’s not a story that will drag on.”
Yoon Sang-deok said while sitting on the sofa.
“Skill Stone. Do you need it?”
Lee Dong-soo, who was silent for a moment, said.
“It will depend on what kind of skill stone it is.”
Yoon Sang-deok said while raising the remote control.
“Can I turn on the TV for a minute?”
Yoon Sang-deok, who continued to make absurd noises, grew slightly annoyed, but Lee Dong-soo nodded his head.
“At your convenience.”
“thanks.”
Yoon Sang-deok turned on the TV and started flipping channels.
“Oh, it’s a skill.”
At the same time, the news was sending out images of people who had acquired skills.
“People are so stupid. The skill stone may look good right now, but the limitation of the skill stone is clear. It has good one-shot destructive power, so it may work a bit in lower dungeons, but in the end, the most important thing is your skill. Of course, skills with good trigger conditions are a different story, but that’s a story limited to a few.”
Lee Dong-soo felt as if he was teaching himself from Yoon Sang-deok’s words.
‘This kid… .’
Did you come to know?
own situation?
The anger I had been holding down slowly starts to rise.
“In that regard, isn’t it a passive thing to pay attention to? Permanent physical enhancement. Of course, there is also the opposite case, but the world is inherently high-risk, high-return. But if… .”
Yoon Sang-deok raised the corners of his mouth and said.
“What if we had a passive with only returns that removed all risk?”
At those words, Lee Dong-soo’s pupils shook.
“Well, that means… .”
“you’re right. The product that I will present to Lee Dong-soo today!”
Yoon Sang-deok said as he pulled out a skill stone that covered the text with paper from his bosom.
“Come on! I will become a passive for strengthening my muscles!”
Lee Dong-soo said with a confused expression.
“muscular strength… enforce?”
“They say that instead of permanently strengthening their muscles, they get a different penalty… Does it matter? to Hunter? What matters is your skill. You don’t die just because your skin gets a little worse or, well, your hearing gets a little worse, right? Instead of intensively raising the power, if it gets worse evenly, it doesn’t really matter. Yes?”
Lee Dong-su swallowed dry saliva and said.
“Is that a muscle-strengthening passive?”
Yoon Sang-deok snapped his fingers and said.
“yes.”
“How do I believe that?”
“You can check it yourself and then give me money. What if you don’t like it… .”
Yoon Sang-deok shrugged and said.
“Just go back.”
Lee Dong-soo looked at Yoon Sang-deok and thought.
‘Is it a trap?’
A trap to lower your skills by forcing yourself to learn bad passives?
But, is it worth mobilizing even the skill seats like this, who barely graduated from the 2nd level course, to fall into a trap?
“What do you want?”
“What is it?”
Yoon Sang-deok rubbed his fingers and said.
“Money.”
‘Calm down, calm down. Right now, most of the skill stones are monopolized by Jeongin Development. But how did this guy get the skill stone?’
“How did you get the skill stone? Right now, all skill stones are monopolized by Jeongin Development.”
“It’s no fun if I even tell you that… It’s my first deal, though, so I’ll just give you a little bit.”
Yoon Sang-deok said in a quiet voice.
“It’s smuggling. smuggling.”
“Smuggling!?”
“Jung In Development’s monopoly is limited to Korea. Overseas, more and more skill seats are now appearing. It was smuggled in.”
There are only a couple of things that are suspicious.
The skill stone is one of the things that guilds value the most.
Why is there even a reason to sell good passives to Korea by smuggling them?
“Why smuggling it… .”
Then, Yoon Sang-deok suddenly became annoyed and said,
“Baby, really. So you’re not going to live?”
“ね!?”
“What is important now is the source of this skill stone? If I could reveal that, I wouldn’t be able to sell so quietly here, would I? I’m not the only one who wants this, but like that bastard Jeong In-soo, I put it up at auction and sell it loudly. Isn’t it?”
Yoon Sang-deok said while pointing his finger at himself.
“I get paid.”
He even pointed to the number of moves and said.
“They gain skills. It’s a simple story. The source of this is so important.”
Lee Dong-soo, who was silent at those words, thought.
‘Wrong words… not.’
A chance to get a skill stone that you can’t get anywhere else.
Where did that opportunity come from?
“price is?”
“Now it makes sense. 150 million.”
“150 million!?”
It’s nothing else, and only 150 million was confirmed with good passives?
Yoon Sang-deok paused for a moment at Lee Dong-soo’s surprised expression and said.
“… Is it too cheap?”
The appearance of Yoon Sang-deok, unable to calculate the exact price.
‘Maybe these guys… Did you steal it?’
Stealing skill stones stored by overseas guilds and selling them as stolen goods?
So you can’t calculate the exact price?
Is this really possible?
However, in any case, even if it is a low price of 150 million, it is a very cheap price.
‘ah! Maybe it’s true development?’
okay.
Jeongin Development is a company that has purchased over 10,000 skill stones.
If it were a company like that, wouldn’t it be wise to steal a few skill stones and show them off?
In addition, as in the case of counterfeit skill seats in China half a year ago, there may be a back hole for a company of that size and skill seats.
‘Then you should buy it!’
Isn’t it enough to complain that you bought it without knowing it?
“good. I buy it. However, if the skill stone is not the passive I thought it would be, I cannot pay the money.”
“Come on, wait a minute. I think 150 million is too cheap, can you give me another 20 million?”
Even if it’s 170 million, every single thing is cheap.
However, in the face of Hunter, it is impossible to be dragged around by such a bastard.
“I can’t give you more than 150 million.”
Then, Yoon Sang-deok scratched the back of his head and said.
“… damn. I think I made a little mistake. Aren’t you going to be robbed by your brother like this?”
At first, Yoon Sang-deok explained the skill stone one by one, but showed a poor appearance in the price.
“Haha, it’s like a man can say two things with one mouth… I can’t help it. Let’s do that. Instead, we are strictly cash trading.”
“good. Please wait here.”
* * *
Lee Dong-soo returned home with 150 million won in cash.
The skill stone was finally in Lee Dong-soo’s hand.
“Can I tear this paper off?”
The reason Lee Dong-soo suffers from his lack of qualifications is only because of his ability to lag behind the guild leader and colleagues he trusts and trusts.
Lee Dong-soo really liked the Hanmu Guild.
If you can check the text here, it will be of great help to the Hanmu Guild.
“That’s never going to happen. My brother never said no. If you take that off, the deal is broken.”
“… All right.”
It’s a pity, but right now, the priority is to improve your skills.
Lee Dong-soo began to give strength to the hand holding the skill stone.
Break up!
And a skill stone that slowly disappears into the air while emitting light.
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
While Yoon Sang-deok looked at the scene with a curious expression.
Lee Dong-soo felt a sense of bliss.
‘This is it.’
A feeling of upliftment I haven’t felt in a long time.
It’s not as much as the memories that filled my body at the time of my first awakening, but I definitely feel like my body is getting stronger.
‘It was real… .’
I don’t know how they got the skill stone, but what they said is true.
“How is it.”
Lee Dong-soo said with his eyes closed.
“Take the money.”
“Yes? Because that’s right.”
Yoon Sang-deok said while taking the money.
“Are you satisfied? sir?”
“Satisfied.”
His ability, which had been stagnant for a long time, improved, could it be better than this?
“Are you willing to buy it again next time?”
Then Lee Dong-su opened his eyes wide and said.
“Can we get it again?”
“What… Not sure, anyway.”
“of course. Definitely bring it to me. I buy it.”
* * *
The Hanmu Guild after hunting.
“Let’s take a break!”
At the words of the guild leader Kim Woong, the guild members wiped their sweat and sat down.
And some of them were mobile.
“It’s Dongsu.”
We had been together for a long time, but now a colleague who has completed the 4th level course and became a top hunter spoke to me.
“uh?”
“Are you a little different these days?”
The corners of Lee Dong-soo’s lips twitch.
“… okay?”
“uh. I think my power has definitely increased.”
After that, Yoon Sang-deok sold a total of three skill stones to Lee Dong-soo at the low price of 150 million won.
The number of moves that absorbed 3 skill stones like that.
‘I think this will work well.’
After absorbing 3 skill stones, the number of movements that increased muscle strength by at least 15%.
‘In that person’s video, I absorbed almost 30.’
In fact, Jung In-soo did it that way to emphasize the side effects, but if the passive skill seat was a plus of 5, the minus was about 2.
It is said that if you absorb a skill stone that strengthens muscle strength but weakens digestion power and on the other hand, a skill stone that strengthens digestion power and weakens muscle strength at the same time, both stats will ultimately increase due to +-.
In other words, the value differs because of the preferred stats, but strictly speaking, if all stats have the same value, it was beneficial to unconditionally absorb them.
Therefore, when making Hwang Jae-ho a bad person, he had to consume a large amount of skill stones to decrease muscle strength, but to raise it by the same amount, less than half of it was sufficient.
In addition, the passive is raised to absolute value, so low-level hunters such as the number of moves are bound to experience it even more.
At that time, Kim Woong approached Lee Dong-soo and said,
“It’s Dongsu.”
“Guild Master… .”
Kim Woong said with a nice smile.
“You’ve worked hard all this time. how sleepy Now you see the light too.”
At Kim Woong’s words, Lee Dong-soo was instantly moved.
“… Thank you, Guild Leader.”
Kim Woong, who supported him without saying a word.
I am now confident
The confidence that the more you try, the stronger you will become.
I am very proud of the fact that I can help the guild.
‘Let’s raise money. And continue to purchase skill stones.’
Invest all the money you can pull to buy a skill stone.
Then a guild member said.
“By the way, guild leader, have you still not found what that skill stone skill is?”
“uh. I never know I tried everything.”
“CEO Jung held out a blank check?”
“It did.”
“Then, isn’t that a good skill?”
Kim Woong said with a smirk.
“That’s it, I don’t know.”
“It’s a good skill, but you could pretend you didn’t know.”
“I followed the skill videos released by Jeongin Development, but nothing matched. So, wouldn’t that mean that it’s a skill that is unknown even in the development of Jeongin?”
Then the guild member smiled and said.
“Anyway, the guild leader trusts people too easily.”
“If you just keep going, something will come out. is not it? Oh, and I’m slowly paying off the skill stone price by subtracting it from my share, so please wait a little bit.”
“Pay back slowly.”
The Hanmoo Guild continues the conversation in such a friendly way.
Lee Dong-soo really liked this hanmu guild.
‘I can continue to be together.’
with them in the same place as them.
* * *
“Are you going to raise the price?”
Lee Dong-soo, who was selling skill stones for 150 million, said with his mouth open.
“It was so cheap. I was very angry with my brother.”
“Then how much… .”
“At first, 200 million.”
2 billion isn’t bad though.
But for now… .
“You mean it could go higher?”
Even if you don’t, you’re starting to run out of money, but the price goes up.
“Yes. It’s getting harder and harder to find.”
“Uh… .”
I can’t give up here.
Separately from the guild, even if you do additional hunting, you can save money and purchase skill stones.
“All right. I will buy it.”
“Anyway, do you have enough money? Even for a hunter, this would not be a small amount of money.”
“… Don’t worry about it. I’ll save you anyway. That’s Hunter, Hunter. It belongs to the guild that caught the Busan dungeon boss monster.”
Concerning that the supply would be cut if there was not enough money, Yoon Sang-deok said with his hands folded in front of him when he answered strongly.
“Gosh. That’s nothing to worry about. You will be able to save money on your own. But if it is possible, wouldn’t it be possible to earn more money if you crave for it and improve your skills?”
“Big… Are you craving it?”
“Yeah, it’s not a regular loan, but there is a company I know that is a little bit coppery and the interest rate is high, but the loans are coming out well. In particular, a hunter like Dong-soo would get more loans because he had a high credit rating.”
Then Lee Dong-soo said with a determined expression.
“Even if it’s not, you can get enough bank loans.”
“okay? I don’t know if that will work… .”
Yoon Sang-deok said in a tone that seemed to flow.
“I think all three will come out at the same time soon.”
“Three!?”
“I don’t know the price yet. Anyway, if you can’t buy it right away, we have no choice but to sell it to someone else… .”
“Ugh!!”
If it’s three, no matter how small it is, 600 million.
In addition to that, if you add up the purchases today, it is 800 million won.
Even as a hunter, it takes time to borrow this without collateral from the 1st financial sector, and it is questionable whether it is possible.
‘… loan? Shall I?’
Once your skills are strong, you can receive more settlement at the time of guild settlement.
That means you can make more money.
taken from noblemt l
Moreover, although illegal loans are dangerous, he is a Hunter.
A loan shark can’t do anything about himself.
Lee Dong-soo said after thinking for a while.
“Can I get agility-related skill stones?”
As I continued to increase my strength, other abilities that corresponded to it continued to stand out.
“Agility? Available. Instead, it would have to be obtained through another route, so it would cost a little extra.”
“Please save me. I will take a loan.”
Then Yoon Sang-deok bowed his head and said.
“Oh, thank you, thank you. Then let me tell you to do well.”
* * *
The movement became stronger day by day.
However, on the contrary, Lee Dong-soo’s debt increases day by day.
All of my colleagues encouraged me by saying that my skills were superior, but the more I did, the more Lee Dong-soo’s craving for a skill stone would stop.
Then one day.
“Today is strength. It will be three and a half million.”
“350 million? uhm.”
Now, it is a skill stone that goes up and goes up to a price of 350 million.
But in reality there is no other way to save them, so is there any other way?
Besides, Lee Dong-soo has lost a lot of resistance to the price because he bought it with a loan instead of his own money.
“good. Let’s borrow it and buy it.”
“ah. But Dongsoo.”
Yoon Sang-deok licked his lips and said.
“The company that gave me the loan. Myun and Dongsoo gave me a loan based on credit, but they said that it would be difficult to borrow any more because the amount was too high.”
At that, Lee Dong-soo contorted his face and said.
“I beg your pardon?!”
The number of moves that increased the overall physical ability by nearly 40% with the skill stone.
Just a little bit more, and it’s one step closer to reaching the level 3 level you’ve been waiting for, but is your loan blocked here?
Yoon Sang-deok said while tapping the calculator.
“Including 10% of the upfront interest, the principal is 2.7 billion and the monthly interest is 5%… The monthly interest alone is 135 million. In addition, the principal has to be repaid at a rate of 5% every month, so it is roughly 270 million.”
A high interest rate of 5% per month as well as advance interest.
From the beginning, Lee Dong-su knew that this was an unreasonable loan.
However, Lee Dong-soo accepted the loan because of his confidence.
Because he is a hunter and belongs to the upper guild, the Hanmu Guild.
What kind of loan sharks would dare to touch them?
“Interest rates are too high.”
“… Yes?”
“Let’s turn the contract into a statutory interest level.”
Then, Yoon Sang-deok tilted his head to the right and said.
“Are you going to change your mind now?”
“It’s not illegal anyway. It must be you, not me, who is at the disadvantage.”
“Ohh. So let’s do it right? I ate the skill stone that I don’t know where I got it from? Instead of doing that, do you pay when you say something nice?”
Hue is the goat
Good horse?
Like this bastard?
Lee Dong-soo said with a cold expression.
“I guess I’ve been looking too low on this all this time.”
A moving number with a 40% increase in physical ability and approaching level 3 in front of him.
His confidence was well-founded.
“Tell them about it. If you run wild without knowing the fountain, I won’t let you go.”
“Do I really need to tell you? If you have something to say, do it yourself.”
“… What?”
Yoon Sang-deok snapped his fingers and said.
“Come on in.”
Then the door opened and 10 men came in.
Seeing that, Lee Dong-soo said with a puzzled expression.
“Are there only 10 people trying to threaten me?”
“If you do that, you will know.”
Lee Dong-soo took a step forward in order to properly educate these guys.
“Where do you dare to be a loan shark… .”
But then.
People who thought they were loan sharks attacked Lee Dong-soo at an unexpected speed.
“Suck!?”
And the men who overpowered the careless Lee Dong-soo to the floor in an instant.
“OMG!!”
Lee Dong-soo tried to escape with strength, but the force applied by the 10 men was not at a level that Lee Dong-soo could release.
Even his movements and this unbelievable power.
“Could it be a Hunter?!”
At that, Yoon Sang-deok said with a smile.
“No, then I’m dealing with the Hunter, will the general public come?”
Yoon Sang-deok sat down in his seat and smiled.
“If the world has changed, the loan sharks have to adapt. Hunter Loans if you have Hunter customers. Are you okay?”
“Hey, this is… This is nonsense.”
“What’s wrong? By the way, the f*cking bastard, can I say whatever I want, even if I didn’t give it my permission? A cheeky bastard.”
Yoon Sang-deok hit Lee Dong-soo’s head and covered his mouth with tape.
“It’s all because of the lack of home education. Do you think so too?”
Yoon Sang-deok grabbed Lee Dong-soo’s head and forced him to nod his head.
“You think so? I’m happy though. I am ready to be educated.”
Yoon Sang-deok said with a smirk.
“I will teach you very kindly.”
