* * *

Meanwhile, Lee Ye-rin was able to confirm the news from the scene from Jeongmun Pharmaceutical, the client who commissioned the work.

Kang-hoo delivered the red key safely.

Needless to say, he managed to shake off the pursuit of the leader of the mercenary force, Jeong Seon-rak.

To make matters worse, it is said that he even cut off Jung Seon-rak’s finger. He also lost the ring item.

“I never imagined that I would succeed and even get a kick out of the captain.”

Lee Ye-rin stuck out her tongue.

The saying that you see more than you can imagine was a perfect fit for Kang-hoo.

Since it was Kang-hoo, I thought that I could succeed in this request that everyone else had failed at. Naturally, I had high expectations.

However, I thought that if a strong external force intervened in the process, the possibility would disappear altogether.

Jungseonrak was not just a mercenary guarding the perimeter of the research lab, but their leader.

Yerin Lee was certain that if she had fought against Seonrak Jeong, she wouldn’t have lasted even a few seconds.

That’s the reason levels exist.

The gap in skills and stats. If you add the gap in experience to that, it becomes a huge wall that is difficult to overcome.

But Kang-hoo turned this common sense upside down.

It was clear that anyone who heard this news would have the same reaction as himself.

The main gate restriction side also said that they wanted to check the security of other research institutes through Kang-hoo later.

This is a task to check which direction of the research lab is easy to penetrate and which direction is weakly defended.

This request is only meaningful to a hunter with good skills and insight, and it seems that Kang-hoo is the perfect candidate.

“The stimulation is strong… … .”

Lee Ye-rin bit her lip.

She was an excellent broker for commissions and guidance, but before that she was also a hunter.

Watching Kang-hoo’s dazzling growth, I was actually envious. I also developed a desire to follow him.

When I think about the level I was at when I first met Kang-hoo, I feel like my own growth was insignificant.

Of course, from a third party’s perspective, Lee Ye-rin’s growth was also very fast.

But since Lee Ye-rin was evaluating Kang-hoo based on her, it felt incredibly slow.

“Are you really going to lift the restrictions?”

Lee Ye-rin tore off a memo she had kept in a file related to Kang-hoo.

Considering Kang-hoo’s current level, it was a note that stated the maximum level for the request was 350.

In other words, the upper limit is the number of requests that can be offered to a level 350 hunter.

Considering Kang-hoo’s current level, it was an evaluation that was more than twice as high.

But this limitation also seemed meaningless.

If you can even shake off the pursuit of Jungseonrak, would you be level 400? No, that’s low too.

“Okay, let’s solve it. If you solve it and make a proposal, they will accept it according to their own difficulty level. Restriction lifted.”

Knock knock!

Lee Ye-rin threw the crumpled note into the trash can.

There are no restrictions for Kang-hoo. And there is no need to worry since Kang-hoo will make the choice anyway.

I also thought it was meaningless for her to judge whether it was possible or impossible.

Isn’t that right?

If you look at Kang-hoo’s appearance, he succeeds in all the requests that he thought would fail or be impossible.

“I think I should start taking on overseas requests. The brokerage fees are much higher, and there are a lot of attractive requests.”

Lee Ye-rin has decided on a new direction. Kang-hoo is now one of her VIP clients.

In that case, it seemed like a good idea to have a request that would be attractive to Kang-hoo and at the same time give him a large allowance.

The domestic mercenary market is clearly limited. I thought I wanted to expand Kang-hoo’s scope of activity.

* * *

“… … I am also a human being.”

Kang-hoo opened his eyes after sleeping for a full day.

I slept with the blackout curtains drawn, so I slept without realizing how much time had passed. That was the day.

Thanks to that, the view outside the window was the same as before I fell asleep.

Except that the date and day of the week printed on the smartphone were changed by one day.

I felt refreshed, as if my body, which had seemed as if it would sink and break, had been completely restored.

Kang-hoo recalled his body that had experienced both highs and lows, and on the other hand, he felt relieved.

My body has never been this tired before, and at one point I thought my body didn’t know pain.

I wondered if my body was not functioning properly because I had problems with some of my senses.

It was a needless worry.

When I was sick, it was my body that screamed in pain. I was infinitely honest.

“I feel strange.”

It felt like the moment when all the sexual desire that had been surging up as if it was exploding was suddenly released.

After pushing your body to the limit and then recovering with sufficient rest, you feel quite relieved.

Although I thought it was a bit perverted to feel pleasure during this process, I still liked it.

If you feel this kind of pleasure often, it is welcome. It means that you have properly demonstrated your skills on the battlefield.

“It was a discharge.”

I thought I slept well because I didn’t get a single phone call while I was sleeping, but when I looked at my smartphone, the battery was dead.

I don’t know when it turned off, but it must have happened shortly after I fell asleep.

When I connected the charger and turned on my smartphone, the first thing I saw was a message from Park Dong-jae.

【Hey, do you know? Someone who’s after you recently entered the country. That’s reliable information.】

【His name is Cha So-hyeok. He is a hunter under ‘Taeyang’ and Cha So-hee’s older brother. He was verified through the Black Network.】

It seemed clear that the information had been obtained from a fairly deep source, to the point where it could be lumped together as insider information.

At this point, it means that there is an insider among the mid-level and above executives, and I can’t even imagine how much effort went into this.

What Kang-hoo had always regretted was the information network that he could only secure on his own, which was limited.

This is because Lee Ye-rin is also closer to being a source of information based on requests, and is closer to having a broad view of the domestic landscape.

But Park Dong-jae may have some shortcomings in the macroscopic aspects.

It stands out for its detailed and in-depth information in a particular field.

This is why Kang-hoo highly values ​​Park Dong-jae’s usefulness. He is valuable as a buffer and also as a source of information.

I was very satisfied that Park Dong-jae believed in me, followed me, and even paid meticulous attention to me.

“Cha So-hyeok.”

He is a person I don’t remember.

In the original work, Cha So-hee was portrayed as Kang Dong-hyun’s confidant, but she was not treated as a hunter with much significance.

So it is highly unlikely that his own older brother was treated with such care. His name was not even mentioned.

But as I started living the life of Shin Kang-hoo, I developed an inseparable bad relationship with Cha So-hee.

In the process, a new evil relationship arose when Cha So-hee died. It was an evil relationship based on blood relations.

It is clear that he came to avenge his dead sister.

There seems to be no way to avoid it. Of course, I have no intention of avoiding it.

“I’ll be persistent until the end.”

Kang-hoo stretched his stiff neck from side to side and checked the additional information that Park Dong-jae had attached.

Level is between 350 and 400. A swordsman with an aggressive, high-damage style who uses a greatsword aggressively.

You could call it a joke, but from an assassin’s perspective, it’s in the top 5 difficult concepts to deal with.

There may be no class that isn’t difficult, but against such an extreme swordsman, you could lose your life in one hit.

A class with a one-hit kill ability was clearly a match for an assassin with relatively low endurance.

at that time.

Woohoo!

Park Dong-jae was contacted directly.

I wonder if the timing is good.

Or maybe he knew he had checked the contact and called right away.

“Yeah, Dongjae.”

– Bro! Did you see the content?

“I see. Thanks for the info.”

– What’s the big deal? It’s something I collect regularly anyway, so I didn’t really care!

“anyway.”

Park Dong-jae’s reaction is so obvious that he’s pretending it’s nothing.

The more you say that, paradoxically, it’s safe to say that you care a lot. If you have a personality like Park Dong-jae.

– Hey! Do you have any plans to go to a dungeon? The famous guild gave me a dungeon this time!

“Considering the dungeon?”

– Well, you’re giving me a chance to come in? You could call it a license rental. That would be the right way to put it.

Is this the power of connections?

When you get to know someone and they are a valuable person, things like this happen.

For Kang-hoo, who owns only a few dungeons, dungeon raiding is always a welcome suggestion.

Especially if it’s a place you’ve never been to, its value increases explosively.

This is because you can definitely steal skills by simply eliminating the middle boss and main boss.

The dungeon that Park Dong-jae asked about is one that Kang-hoo has never been to, so it would be beneficial for him to just go there.

“What kind of dungeon is it?”

– This place is a bit special. To be exact, we were guided to a special entrance to an open dungeon.

“So when we go in, we don’t come across a dungeon right away, but rather a passageway.”

– That’s right! You have to go through the end of that passage once more, and you’ll enter an open dungeon.

“Another singularity?”

– This is where hunters from all over the world gather. You’ll probably see quite a few foreign hunters.

“But isn’t it impossible to go back through the passage each person used?”

– Yeah. If the passage we entered is Passage A, and the passage the other hunter entered is Passage B, then we can’t use Passage B to get over there.

“I roughly understand the structure.”

– Recommended level 300. The internal management entity is an American guild called Canis, and only controls the main area.

“Okay. What date do you want?”

– Tomorrow night at 9 o’clock. How about that? I’ll send you a map of where to meet as soon as I get off the phone, hyung.

“Okay. Let’s do it tomorrow night. I’ll see you then.”

An event has come up that was not planned, but will definitely bring unexpected benefits.

As for Lee Hyun-seok and Ahn Young-ho, since they are secured dungeons, there is an opportunity to obtain them at any time.

Opportunities like this that come so suddenly are rare. They may never come again.

A dungeon that connects with hunters from other countries. I thought that I needed to be as cautious as I was curious.

There’s still time left until daybreak.

Kang-hoo, who was even more exhausted and couldn’t sleep well because he had slept all day, suddenly remembered Huntergram.

Rather than just looking at the content recommended by AI, I was going to find the people I wanted to see directly.

Since it’s a Huntergram of a famous person, as soon as I entered the name, it appeared at the top.

【Akiyama Takashi】

Takashi Akiyama, one of Japan’s named hunters. He is also a member of Thirteen Stars.

There are many words that describe Takashi, but there is one core that runs through them all.

“sport.”

For that reason, the public perception of him was not very good. Even on Huntergram, you could often see malicious comments.

Moreover, he considered the thirteen separate Takashis as mutants and did not get along with them closely.

If you look at the original content, Takashi often did other things when the thirteen stars were meeting.

It felt like I wasn’t paying attention in the meeting. It felt like a five-year-old not paying attention.

For that reason, Takashi’s words and actions were mostly ignored.

When something was decided, he was more inclined to give notice, and Takashi had no particular complaints.

However, thanks to Yu Qinghua and Emilia taking care of Takashi like an older sister, he didn’t feel completely neglected.

However, Chae Gwan-hyung hated Takashi and openly said that he wanted to kick him out of the thirteen stars.

“Actually, if you just look at the picture now, it’s the one that can be separated first from the thirteen stars.”

Kang-hoo’s gaze deepened.

I thought that if Takashi was the one who had the lowest sense of belonging, there might be a way to shake his heart.

Since there is also an issue with Ahn Young-ho going to Japan, I think it is a pretty good time.

By now, eight of the thirteen stars should be in a cluster. Five more remain.

I wanted to create a crack within them before they could fully form up.

As if quietly releasing poison.
