The old man’s surprise was a natural reaction.
The reason why Cheol-han dared to find a skilled and heavy-mouthed blacksmith through Kim Ji-hoon, a B-level appraiser.
The item extracted through the S-class skill ‘Saturation’.
Because it was such a nonsensical thing.
Take the shield Cheolhan used when he first entered the Howling Dungeon in the past as an example.
[Round Shield (D) – Durability 7/10]
D-class items were all about equipment names and durability.
It’s like a D-grade item with no special options.
but.
The leather armor that Cheolhan gave to the old man.
There were even additional options that could not be found on C-grade items.
It’s also an option that raises the Hunter’s stats.
「Goblin King’s Leather Armor (C)
Durability 32/32
Dexterity: +1
Stamina: +1」
“Additional options related to stats. It’s only C-class equipment.”
Each grade was assigned to the Hunter’s equipment.
Up to grade C, durability was everything.
From B grade, each equipment started to have options.
It increases the stats in the Hunter’s status window, such as strength, stamina, agility, magic, and mental strength.
Items with skills or attributes that are really rare options also appeared.
To be that much, it was an option that only appeared at the highest level among the minimum A-class.
Such options were attached to items that could be sold for billions of dollars once they were auctioned off.
however.
Even though the item Cheolhan handed over was clearly C-class.
There were as many as two options.
albeit a low number.
There was an option that was only attached to B-grade or higher items on C-grade leather armor.
The old man’s surprised reaction was only natural.
It didn’t end there.
「Goblin King’s Leather Armor (C)
Durability 35/35
Dexterity: +2
Stamina: +1」
Among the two leather armors that Cheolhan took out.
The other one had an optional agility stat that was 1 or higher.
“Even if the number is low. It boosts agility and stamina. Where did you get these?”
My eyes are sold on the option of leather armor.
The old man who casually asked a question put on an expression of regret.
An iron rule at the blacksmith’s run by an old man.
Confidentiality to customers.
No mention of source of equipment.
It was as if he had just violated these iron rules that he had been emphasizing over and over again.
“Sorry. I can’t come to my senses when my eyes go back to my equipment.”
“it’s okay. Even though I am also a C-class leather armor. I was surprised to see the option attached.”
“Huh. He said he bought not one of these equipment, but two. I was introduced to this interesting person.”
The old man’s twinkling eyes.
I passed through the leather armor and headed towards Cheolhan.
At first, I was surprised by the C-class leather armor with options.
His attention shifted to Cheol-han, who had saved them.
When he saw the requested equipment and the leather armor of the Goblin King he had brought.
It was clear that he was a C-class Hunter.
An ordinary C-class hunter could never request equipment from an old man.
The old man’s work cost was very expensive compared to other blacksmiths.
furthermore.
Even if the person who gave the letter of introduction was a B-level appraiser.
There was no way he would send anyone to himself.
I mean.
It means that the man in front of you has something special.
“One I am going to use. I want to dispose of the other one.”
“Hmm. Although there are options attached. It’s nothing more than goblin leather armor. Don’t expect too much for the price.”
“it’s okay. All you have to do is accept a reasonable price.”
If you post something on Hunternet.
It was clear that it would be noisy and attract the attention of the Hunters.
In the leather armor of the Goblin King, who is only C-class.
Because there were not one stat-related option, but two.
I just uploaded stuff.
It didn’t need to get too much attention.
Now was the time to grow as quietly as possible.
That’s why Cheol-han had to find a route that could be dealt with quietly.
Even if you constantly find these items, you can dispose of them without problems.
I asked Jihoon Kim.
The answer came back saying that if you leave it to the old man, he will take care of it.
‘You can tell by looking at the price of the leather armor.’
It was a kind of test.
A test to see if Cheol-han is a person who can continue to deal with this old man.
In the future, the grade of the items Cheolhan would bring would gradually rise.
So, from the first transaction, it was necessary to make sure that he was a trustworthy person.
If you want to beat the price.
In the future, I would have to find another vendor to do business with.
Conversely, what if you offer an appropriate price?
I had to continue trading.
Because Cheolhan was planning to keep getting better items in the future.
Cheol-han had no intention of doing any losing trades.
“see. Oshu in a week. To make the equipment and gloves I mentioned earlier. I’m sure you’ll need that much.”
“All right. Then I’ll come back in a week.”
“At that time, I will tell you the price of the item you want to dispose of.”
Cheol Han-eun promised to visit again in a week.
I left the blacksmith’s shop without a sign.

Dealer Park Sang-joon, a member of Team 6 of the Red Guild, was on the verge of visiting the Blacksmith Street.
I was drawn to it, to be precise.
“I want to rest today.”
“Oh okay. What do you like about your team? If something happens to a team member, don’t you step out and help? Why is he trying to live so selfishly?”
At the words of Kim Woo-jun, a dealer from Team 6 who was talking nonsense.
Park Sang-joon just shook his head.
Kim Woo-joon has the personality of a man who doesn’t care.
He was infinitely good to some of the people he recognized.
Should I say this is fortunate?
Some of them included Park Sang-joon himself.
Thanks to that, I was brought here on a day when I was supposed to rest.
“uh? wait for a sec.”
Why did Kim Woo-jun, who was walking ahead, stop?
It was after I found someone on the front.
“Isn’t that a hogu? Kicked out of our guild.”
“who?”
“I mean Hogu, Hogu. We were on the same team, have you already forgotten? After all, the child has no affection.”
Park Sang-jun was able to know who the Hogu that Kim Woo-jun was talking about was.
can’t have forgotten
Because he was Cheol-han, who perfectly played the role of a tanker without a single skill.
Even though the ending was rough.
Until then, he was a really kind and nice person.
Of course, the world is overflowing with bad guys who take advantage of such good people.
I was just being used here and there around me like that.
Even the ending of the guild life came to an unfortunate end.
“It’s nice to see Hogu after a long time. Let’s go and say hello.”
“it’s okay. Why do you go to the person who left blushing and pretend you know? Let’s go see some work.”
“Because I will follow you. If you don’t come, will I go and say hello by myself?”
In the words of Kim Woo-jun.
Park Sang-joon had no choice but to follow.
What if Kim Woo-jun tries to cause an accident?
You’ll have to mediate on your side.
a few months ago.
During the battle with the monsters in the dungeon, the equipment was smashed.
It was Cheolhan who was disciplined.
In the process, even personal history exploded.
In the end, I ended up leaving the guild as if I was kicked out.
The day before, joining another team and going to the dungeon.
That it was because of the team member’s desperate request for help.
Those in the know knew.
However, he did not feel the need to go so far as to take his own damage, so he just turned away.
“hey. mister. long time no see?”
At the call of Kim Woo-jun.
Cheol-han, who was walking ahead, stopped.
“no way. No matter how much I was kicked out of the guild. Still, there is an old friendship that was a team. Won’t you accept my greetings? nice to meet you.”
Kim Woo-jun started to giggle like before.
Even if Kim Woo-jun usually acts like that.
Cheol-han didn’t know what to do and repeated the words not to do that.
Cheolhan was attached to Team 6 of the Red Guild without a single skill.
Because Kim Woo-Jun was a promising prospect in the guild.
however.
‘Is this strange?’
Park Sang-joon couldn’t help but feel this feeling while watching Cheol-han.
Obviously, the man in front of him knew himself.
Cheol-han, who worked together as a member of Team 6, is correct.
‘Something different.’
It was different.
In the past, Cheolhan was always a little intimidated.
A hunter who is in his 7th year, but is only a C-class.
Stats that have been stagnant since a certain moment.
Even the young guild members who grow by overtaking themselves little by little.
Even if Kim Woo-jun pushes against it because of these bad conditions.
It was Cheol-han who laughed bitterly.
however.
He became like a completely different person.
Now Cheolhan’s eyes are like.
‘It’s like seeing the guild leader…’
It reminded me of the Red Guild leader, whom Park Sang-jun could meet once in a while.
“Woo Jun-ah.”
At Cheolhan’s humble call.
Did you feel something then?
Kim Woo-jun’s expression hardened.
“I don’t even belong to the same guild anymore. It’s a bit short.”
okay.
To define in one word what Park Sang-joon feels about Cheol-han right now.
intimidation.
It could be expressed in these three letters.
It seems that Park Sang-joon is not alone in feeling such a sense of intimidation.
“That… uh…”
Could it be that he only remembered how he looked easygoing in the past and rushed forward?
In the completely different atmosphere of Cheolhan.
Kim Woo-jun started to parent.
Typical strong-weak-weak posture.
To such Kim Woo-jun.
Cheol-han strode closer.
“Even though we acted as members of the same team. We weren’t close enough to talk easily.”
“That, that’s…”
“You should apologize first.”
“I’m sorry.”
When a person becomes extremely upset.
Under the pressure of the atmosphere, they do things they don’t know about.
Park Sang-joon’s view of Kim Woo-joon was just like that.
The opponent who obviously looked at it and rushed at it.
Let’s show a sense of intimidation that reminds us of a guild leader.
It made me cringe without even realizing it.
“okay. next time we meet Let’s be polite to each other then. Understand?”
Cheol-han patted Kim Woo-jun on the shoulder.
“Sangjun. Nice to meet you after a long time. See you again.”
“yes? yes. older brother. Please go in.”
I gave Park Sang-joon a light greeting and left.
Did he get out of the oppressive atmosphere?
“Sir, f*ck. Why is that bastard like that?”
As soon as Cheol-han gets away, it returns to normal in an instant.
If it was like the past, I would have followed and questioned.
I wonder if the appearance of Cheol-han I just met was shocking.
It was Kim Woo-jun, who was only swearing in his place.
Leaving Kim Woo-jun behind.
Park Sang-joon looked at Cheol-han’s back.
‘I’ve become a completely different person.’
while thinking like this
*
Cheol-han looked at Kim Woo-jun with an indifferent gaze.
I saw you avoiding eye contact.
I realized how stupid I was living.
‘At that time, the Red Guild felt like the last chance.’
The air in the house became cold at some point.
Stats that were stagnant at some point.
Up to the C-class wall you can’t escape.
Now that I think about it, it’s a really stupid story.
At that time, I really felt like I was standing on top of a cliff.
If he even came out of the Red Guild.
Thinking that you are really going to become a loser in life.
Stupidly, such thoughts dominated Cheolhan.
Looking back over time
It was a really funny story.
It was then.
‘Anyway, it’s just a story in the past.’
The foolish Cheol-han of the past is now dead.
As an example, wouldn’t it be possible to know if you look at the relationship between Kim Woo-jun and yourself in front of you.
In spite of the self-deprecating giggles.
There was a time when I had to shut myself down.
If there is a discord within the team.
A dealer with skills that is expected in the guild, and a tanker with no skills.
It was obvious who would go out first.
Maybe if Cheolhan now goes back to that time.
He must have kicked off the spot and left the guild.
Cheol-han took his gaze away from Kim Woo-jun, who was intimidated.
When everyone thinks of Cheol-han lightly.
Still, I see Park Sang-jun, who was polite as a member of the same team.
“Sangjun. Nice to meet you after a long time. See you again.”
“yes? yes. older brother. Please go in.”
Leaving behind the old faults.
Cheolhan moved on.

Cigarette smoke was pouring out of Jang Ji-chun’s mouth.
A week has already passed since three businesses collapsed.
“Did you come?”
“yes. I’ve been looking for the videos you’ve been talking about.”
“Bring it here.”
Although surveillance cameras were installed at the entrance of each workshop.
They were the ones who came in with meticulous preparation.
Before entering the workshop, he destroyed all the surveillance cameras and entered.
What Zhang Ji-chun came up with was a surveillance camera in a nearby building.
It’s a neighborhood with very few surveillance cameras.
There was only one camera that took a blurry picture of the entrance to one of the workshops.
If only low-end drugs had been smashed.
There was no need for Jang Ji-chun to step out and do this.
It’s enough just to pay back what you’ve been through.
the problem is.
“There was an uproar. What is it like in your home country?”
“that···. I must find and retrieve it. Or he said he would come himself.”
“after. I get it. Wrong video.”
All in all, in one of the three raided workshops.
It was.
Items sent from the home country along with a new request.
There’s a guy who handles it pretty well in one of the workshops.
I was sent to pay attention to the tablets.
Items were also lost in the process of raiding workplaces.
I was sure because I had searched the building.
that someone took it.
It was the first thing I saw, so I wouldn’t have used it easily.
The video started playing.
The image quality was poor, so only the shape was identified in a blur.
From noble mtl dot com
Jang Ji-chun’s sharp eyes turned to the screen.
“see. How many are they?”
I needed to make sure how many people moved roughly.
It could have been a situation where a third party intervened.
It may have been an attack by another drug gang that noticed the entry.
The situation where black hunters continue to be smuggled in from their home country.
It was necessary to clearly distinguish who the enemy was.
“wait for a sec. Stop it.”
What Jang Ji-chun shouted.
After members of the opposing gang enter and exit the building.
After that, it was when I found someone wearing a hat to enter.
“Check who he is and find out.”
From noble mtl dot com
Jang Ji-chun’s voice was talking.
That guy has something to do with stuff.
