Jeju Island (1)

kill Roche.
Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae, who finished collecting magic stones and loot, left the dungeon and headed downtown.
Kang-hoo has booked a hotel to stay in downtown Gyeongju, and Park Dong-jae also has to go downtown.
I sold all the items I had at the market on the way.
After selling all the things I got from the dungeon, starting with the incidental things I couldn’t sell before.
A balance of about 5 billion won has been secured. It was regrettable considering the balance that once exceeded 100 billion won.
Level 110.
I really liked Oreumse.
In fact, this form was also the way Named grew.
The process of rapid growth while maintaining experience points monopolized or minimally distributed.
Many names, including thirteen stars, followed this route to the extent that it could be said to be almost standard.
For Kang-hoo, a latecomer, he has to be more diligent as he has to follow them more broadly and quickly.
While Park Dong-jae sells some items at the market and gets what he needs.
Ganghu killed Roche, the boss monster, and was examining the skills he robbed. It’s a pretty important skill.
【Selfish indulgence】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
[Specifies one buff skill applied to you and increases the efficiency of that buff by 300%.]
Roche used this to selfishly indulge in acceleration. That’s why it came out so fast that even Kang-hoo felt sorry for it.
The same goes for Kang-hoo.
What if Park Dong-jae’s acceleration buff and selfish indulgence were applied to his existing acceleration skill?
Unbelievable crazy speeds will be possible.
Of course, there is one premise. that the body has to endure. If you can’t stand it, you can’t use it.
Anyway, whether it is possible to use it at the risk of a bunch or not at all is a different issue.
In addition, there are many buffs that can increase efficiency, not just acceleration.
You can maximize your health recovery and dramatically reduce skill cooldowns.
‘The skill itself called selfish indulgence is fraudulent. It’s only for bosses, so I spread it as an attribute, but it feels like the balance is collapsing because it can be taken away with the dimension scavenger attribute.’
Kang Hu smiled lightly.
Moderately detailed in the original work is such a big help.
If only he hadn’t made this kind of skill for Roche in order to keep the balance tight.
Kang-hu would never have benefited from it like now.
‘Suddenly, it’s a bit bitter.’
A faint smile soon turned into a bitter smile.
It is because there are many things that feel the gaps in the original work while living and breathing in this world.
It’s a welcome thing only from Xin Kang-hu’s point of view, but was the original author really sincere about the novel? I think.
‘At that time, I was intoxicated with the unexpected popularity, so there were times when I thought too loosely.’
At that time, I thought that the readers would cheer no matter what I wrote, even if the content was a bit lax.
It’s the same when I made a collaborator ending. Rather, I thought the readers would clap for the ingenious ending.
‘Readers wanted a happy ending. The writer wanted the reader to write sincerity more than anyone else. I was the only one who was intoxicated with other thoughts. Arrogantly.’
It is a story that has already become the life of the past life, but Kanghu decided to learn a lesson from that part as well.
It’s because it’s a story that can be applied enough to your own situation right now.
If you are satisfied with your current abilities and think loosely, you will always be eaten by the darkness of this world.
this moment.
Even if Jang Si-hwan appears in front of him, he will die.
Even if you are very, very lucky and kill Sihwan Jang, it will be difficult for you to avoid death yourself.
The minimum expectation is ‘death’. The maximum is to face the humiliation of dying without a trace, even the corpse being destroyed.
anyway.
Thanks to selfish indulgence, I have a means to maximize Park Dong-jae’s buff in the future.
If you have your own buff skill, you can use it usefully as it is.
This attack on Roche was very meaningful. Besides, it was even more meaningful because it was a dungeon owned by Ganghu.
At that time, Park Dong-jae, who had finished selling and purchasing, spoke to Kang-hoo.
“brother! Did you wait a long time?”
“no. I was looking at the level and experience level. It came out just fine.”
“Hyung, what’s your level now?”
“110.”
“It’s a perfect number to say it’s a lie no matter who hears it. Honestly, you wouldn’t believe it even if it was 310?”
“Lip service is good.”
“No, because it really is. Hyung, you know that there are not one or two high-level hunters I have matched.”
It’s not a bluff.
Park Dong-jae was a buffer worth finding for high-level hunters.
Kang Hu also felt it while trying to match the sum this time. Park Dong-jae, that this guy is Jin-guk.
“Yes, recite it.”
Ganghu crossed his arms and watched Dongjae Park with a curious expression. What praise would you give?
“My brother is When I receive a buff, I immediately change my battle concept to suit it. If you accelerate, do a maneuver.”
“If you’re concentrating, go towards letting go while avoiding enemy attacks.”
“That’s right! Because that’s it. Because we make movements that maximize the effectiveness of buffs, our firepower gets better.”
“It doesn’t look like another Hunter, does it?”
“Nine times out of ten, just tell them to shuttle the damage buff. I’m going to taste the mulberry with a buff. That’s good form.”
“It’s not like they’re fighting in form.”
“There are a lot of Hunters who are overly immersed in what they can see. I don’t like to worry about complex buffs.”
“You feed me too much.”
“I know yeah.”
Park Dong-jae sighed.
In that sense, Kanghu made him think creatively, not just a buff shuttle.
It reminded me of the fact that I was a ‘buffer’, which I had forgotten because it was so obvious.
Some might ask, what does it mean so much?
At least Kang Hu was the first outsider to see his value as it was to Park Dong-jae.
“A fight steeped in inertia is bound to have an accident someday. I don’t want a fight like that.”
“so! I thought that I should prioritize contact with my brother for the time being.”
“As long as there is a dungeon to go to, anytime.”
“don’t worry. I have a wider network than I thought. If you look at the compromise, you might be able to go to someone else’s dungeon.”
“Can I take care of that?”
“Compared to the price of my brother’s life that saved me, it’s a lot cheaper. Leave it to me!”
Kang Hu also burst into laughter at the appearance of Park Dong-jae appealing by beating even the trivial (?) chest.
naive Are there times when you are stupid and have a blind corner?
Park Dong-jae certainly had an untainted innocence like Jeong Yu-ri.
* * *
I broke up with Park Dong-jae that way.
Originally, I was going to come to a hotel in the city and have a refreshing cocktail.
Jeon Se-hyeok and Ban Se-young urgently called Park Dong-jae. It seems that they have a schedule for raiding dungeons.
So as soon as I entered the hotel, I was taking a half-bath and watching the Hunter News on the TV in the bathroom.
As expected, breaking news today was full of pharmaceutical company-related issues.
Not an explosion this time.
It was the content that the key chief researcher of Jeondong Pharmaceutical died in a surprise attack while moving to a safe house.
“This is an insider.”
It is 100% collaboration with insiders.
Someone inside the car the chief researcher was riding in, or someone escorting him while guarding it, must have leaked the information.
The Hunter Police Department issued an official position every day to urge an end to reckless acts of terrorism and to punish hunters who kidnap and kill researchers.
Unfortunately, there are no outlaws who would be frightened by the paper tiger’s insignificant roar. It’s just a side dish.
at that time.
I got a call from Lee Ye-rin.
“yes.”
– Mr. Seongyu! No, can I call you Shin Kang-hoo now?
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with. I can understand, as long as you don’t get confused.”
Since Ganghu had already told his acquaintances about his real name, their reaction was not new.
Kang Hu added a thought, just in case.
“But he said he would put on hold the request related to the pharmaceutical company.”
– ah! I’ve already delayed all of them. You don’t have to worry about that.
“then?”
– It’s not a pharmaceutical company related case, but a completely different type of mercenary request came in.
“What is it?”
– It’s a raid request to find a bleeding dealer. All you have to do is keep the bleeding steady.
“Remuneration?”
– Start-up 5 billion, balance 5 billion. And 1 priority option for the boss monster’s drop item.
“hmm.”
It’s a tempting proposition.
Of course, this is the first judgment, and we need to hear more details.
– The level of the dungeon ranges from 350 to 400. We have a total of 9 raiders, and we’re looking for one more spot.
“Can you disclose where the client is?”
– yes. This is the Gru Guild in Jeju Island. you know? A guild holding onto Jeju Island.
“of course.”
Kang Hu nodded.
Gru Guild.
It is a guild that monopolizes all interests in Jeju Island and is famous for having members of various nationalities.
The unusual part is that it is a guild that has openly declared ‘perfect neutrality’.
For that reason, he wasn’t cooperative with the purification guild, but he wasn’t uncooperative either.
At the same time, they did not give any preferential treatment, such as giving a free pass to activities in the city, just because they were members of Jeonghwa Guild.
In other words, it was a structure that treated all outsiders with the same standard unless they were members of the guild.
In the original work, for that reason, the main character, Jang Si-hwan, and the Groo Guild did not have much to do with each other.
It was because he had neither ill feelings nor good feelings toward Jang Si-hwan. He had no interest in anything outside of Jeju Island at all.
– how is it? Aren’t you a bit interested? I think that if it’s not damage dealing, but bleeding, there will be no problem if it’s at the level of Kang-hoo. call?
“for a moment.”
Kanghu put the brakes on the flow that almost got caught up in Lee Ye-rin’s unique speedy propulsion.
It’s true that it’s a good condition, but the story is too easy to solve.
First of all, aside from the high level of the dungeon, there is an issue that the shortage of mercenaries is severe recently.
Besides, to the extent of giving up the top priority for the boss monster’s drop item… … .
It also means that the dungeon itself is difficult.
The ransom price has risen due to the shortage of mercenaries, but the level of the dungeon that the mercenary has to go to is too high?
The negotiating table needs to be reorganized.
Ganghu continued.
“We adjust the conditions. Start, double the balance each. The middle boss will also get a priority.”
– oops… … .
Lee Ye-rin was about to say something, but I heard a breathing sound that seemed to be barely covering her mouth.
It must be too radical for her position, who has to coordinate the middle and take care of the fee.
But right now, Eul is the one who requests the request. This is because the logic of supply and demand is broken.
Just to lighten her shoulders, I threw a card to make the story easier.
“Let’s appeal. I am confident that the bleeding will not stop. To the point where I want that to be terrible.”
– I’ll discuss it right away.
