Episode 161: Leftovers (1)

* * *

The conversation with the three members of the Spitfire Guild ended well.

From the moment they showed their gold cards, they became completely humble.

Rather, he even asked Kang-hoo to speak nicely to the Master when he meets him later.

That’s understandable, since he already knew that he was a VIP guest of the guild master just by possessing a gold card…

It wasn’t unreasonable for them to bow down. They believed that Kang-hoo was a person of considerable skill.

In addition to the orange magic stones received as collateral, three orange magic stones were also obtained as loot from Turbo.

And you could even have one talisman to strengthen your buff skills.

After the three members of the Spitfire Guild left, Park Dong-jae gave all of the magic stones to Kang-hoo.

Then Kang-hoo asked.

“Why is this?”

“Why? It’s something my brother worked hard to earn, so it’s his to take. I don’t own it.”

“Didn’t you promise? I’ll take all the experience points, and you’ll keep all the loot.”

“This isn’t a strategy for defeating a boss monster.”

“But a promise is a promise.”

“No. This is separate. Don’t even think about giving in. If you don’t accept it, I’ll throw it away!”

Park Dong-jae’s intentions seemed stubborn.

Kang-hoo also read his mind and accepted it without rejecting it.

This time, the battle that helped the Spitfire Guild members seems to have been viewed separately from the previous strategy.

Thanks to this, Kang-hoo was able to secure a total of 60 billion won worth of magic stones, including the magic stones he had received as collateral.

Instead.

I gave Park Dong-jae the buff amulet I got as loot.

Because it was an item that had absolutely no meaning to him anyway.

It’s not about strengthening your own buff, but strengthening the buff skill you use.

It was tailored to Park Dong-jae, and he had no contact with it at all. There was absolutely no reason to feel sorry about giving in.

“Thank you, bro. I’ll use it well.”

“Me too. I use it well.”

“By the way, hyung. When on earth did you receive such VIP treatment from the Spitfire Guild?”

Park Dong-jae seemed just as curious about it as the three people who had been surprised earlier.

A gold card is not something that just anyone can receive. It is like a kind of certificate given to a truly grateful benefactor.

What this means is that the Master of the Spitfire Guild owes Kang-hoo a great debt of gratitude.

Park Dong-jae had no idea what the content was.

“That happened. It’s a sad story, so I don’t want to tell you the details.”

Kang-hoo muddled through the answer.

When I think about Park Min-seong, I think of his parents, Garnier and Melissa, and my heart aches.

Even if you’ve never been a parent, you can empathize with the feelings.

It was a feeling that he didn’t want to recall for no reason. To Kang-hoo, feeling sad was also a rather unpleasant feeling.

What should I say? It was a feeling like a taboo, something that the character Shin Kang-hoo should never feel. That was exactly the feeling.

“As expected, my judgment was right. My brother is someone who should become a jewel quickly.”

“You are already a jewel.”

“… … That’s not it.”

“Anyway, let’s go back. There are no more routes to go through, so I think it’s time to go back.”

“rest?”

“Yeah. It’s a break.”

“Whew. Finally… … . I wondered when I would get a proper rest. Oh my.”

As soon as Kang-hoo finished speaking, Park Dong-jae collapsed on his seat.

Although I wasn’t showing any signs of fatigue, I was quickly growing tired as I kept in sync with Kang-hoo.

Kang-hoo was more passionate than Park Dong-jae thought, and was like a furnace that was constantly heating up.

Being with someone who never showed that he was having a hard time made me change too.

Is it that the very act of saying that it’s difficult makes me feel sorry?

So, I’ve been holding out with evil and brute force until now, but now I’ve reached my limit.

Not only my physical strength, but my mental strength has reached its limit. I am getting a crazy headache.

“It’s a 50% chance. Let’s go back to teleportation.”

“I’ve been curious about this for a while. Wasn’t it teleportation that you used to save me from the Osho Mercenaries?”

“yes.”

“100% means complete success. Then what does 50% mean? It means that only half of the body can be moved?”

Kang-hoo burst into laughter without realizing it at Park Dong-jae’s unique(?) idea.

It wasn’t a joke. If you don’t approach the question of probability clearly, the interpretation will be completely different.

If the formula was like what Park Dong-jae said, Kang-hoo wouldn’t have used teleportation unless it was 100% certain.

That’s right. If only half of your body moves, you’ll die instantly, so there’s no way you’d take such a ridiculous risk.

“The body is based on perfect movement. It’s a question of whether perfect teleportation succeeds or fails.”

“Oh, that’s simple.”

“Yeah. The teleportation skill isn’t as detailed as you think.”

That’s the power of the original.

Because it wasn’t overly detailed, there were no variables in teleportation.

If the original author himself had been an eccentric, he might have made Park Dong-jae’s imagination a reality.

“Okay, I understand. Each and every skill that hyung possesses is so unique that I always get curious.”

“If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I won’t tell you anything, except trade secrets.”

“So, now you’re going to rely on luck and teleport?”

“Oh. If you fail, you walk back. If you succeed, you save more than half a day.”

“God, please… … .”

After gently grabbing Park Dong-jae’s shoulder while he closed his eyes tightly and pretended to pray.

Kang-hoo used his teleportation skill without even thinking about it.

【Would you like to teleport?】

【Teleportation of 2 or more people may not succeed. The probability is exactly 50%.】

The warning was ignored.

It was a simple problem that could be considered either a success or a failure. There was no reason to be distracted by the words.

and.

Pfft!

Teleportation occurred.

* * *

After teleportation was successful and he returned to the starting point in one breath, Kang-hoo thought to himself.

‘When I saved Min Soo-hyun, it was a 50% success. When I switched places with Jin Hyo-young, it was a success. If I go by the odds, won’t I definitely fail this time?’

It was a thought that suddenly occurred to me as I approached it with the concept of numbers.

50% chance of success for 3 times in a row.

If this happens in a lottery game, everyone would expect it. They would soon fail three times in a row.

‘I guess I’ll have to offer some sacrifices for the time being.’

If there are no issues, I think I should write it every time the waiting time is reset for the next three days.

Of course, since it’s 100% done alone, you’ll need someone to do it with you.

Anyway, that’s how the dungeon raid was concluded. It was a raid where all the explanations were given with the words “skill abundance”.

I heard from other hunters at the entrance that the Canis Guild was in the middle of a third raid.

It looked fun.

It was great to see elite hunters, not a bunch of random people, come together and work together in harmony, like looking at a single painting.

So, in a way, I was looking forward to it.

A mystery dungeon raid with people from the famous guild.

Since they were already known as a small group of elite hunters, there was no need to doubt their skills.

* * *

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae came out of the dungeon and had a light glass of beer to cool off.

Kang-hoo wasn’t a big fan of alcohol, but he knew how to go along with the tastes of those he liked.

A can of beer with grilled squid in butter while sitting on a bench was really delicious.

Park Dong-jae said that this is his routine. He said that beer is the elixir of life that he gives to himself when he returns alive.

The routine varies from hunter to hunter, but for Park Dong-jae, a glass of beer seems to be an essential element that he can never leave out.

Kang-hoo wasn’t particularly interested in things like jinxes and routines. They also clouded his objective thinking.

I think I emptied about half the can?

When the dampness in my tired body subsides to some extent and the pleasant alcohol feeling starts to rise slightly.

Park Dong-jae spoke up.

“Hyung. Be careful from now on. Sehyuk is more worried about you than me. There are more and more enemies.”

“Anyway, if you’re going to touch all those delicious rice cakes, you’re going to end up with soybean residue on your body.”

“But it’s true that I’m worried because they are my opponents.”

“I’m always grateful to you. But don’t worry too much. I’m always on guard.”

“Okay. Oh, by the way, did you know that? I heard that Sehyuk hyung will be taking care of the Eclipse kids properly soon.”

“Come to think of it, Sehyuk has been a bit quiet lately.”

Kang-hoo nodded.

Jeon Se-hyeok was a hunter with a deeper ties to Eclipse than Kang-hoo.

Wasn’t it because of his grudge against Eclipse that he became so close to Kang-hoo so quickly?

It was an unusual move.

Rather, as he said, there was no corner that had been quiet all this time.

Until then, Jeon Se-hyeok had been going to Eclipse’s large and small hideouts to commit murders…

I only did things that made Kang Dong-hyun uncomfortable.

However, because Jeon Se-hyeok was so powerful, Kang Dong-hyun was having a hard time getting his hands on him.

However, it seems that he decided that it was too low a level to step forward directly.

At this point, I thought it would be nice to have a cool sword dance with Jeon Se-hyeok.

Because in order to pass the constellation test posed by the Black Seeker, you must kill Go Kyung-ho.

Rank 8 in the Eclipse hierarchy, the leader of the action team, Ko Kyung-ho. He is a prey that is hard to refuse for someone who is greedy for power.

“Dongjae.”

“uh?”

“If you need any information, just let me know. If there’s any information I need, I’ll pay a fair price for it. I won’t turn down a favor, though.”

“Then I’m fine. Don’t worry. I’ll sell really important information to my brother for money. I’m not a pushover.”

“Then it’s good for me.”

“I will invest more in the black network in the future. No, I will go all-in. I believe in the power of information.”

I continue to be confident that Park Dong-jae will be a key player in our future endeavors.

And now this relationship is being built in a very convenient way for Kang-hoo.

Kang-hoo planned to coordinate things well so that his relationship with Park Dong-jae would not be reversed or distorted.

You just have to avoid being overly humble towards Park Dong-jae. You just have to avoid showing excessive gratitude beyond what is necessary.

If you do that… … Park Dong-jae will always be like a sunflower looking at the sunlight.

The separation of feelings of caring for Park Dong-jae as a buffer and feelings of wanting to use him strategically.

The separation of two emotions that seemed inseparable was possible for Kang-hoo.

It was a great advantage, but also a disadvantage that made him cold and unfeeling.

Of course, Kang-hoo didn’t care. Whatever it was, it was all his.

There is no need to be surprised, and there is no need to deny it. This and that are all you.

There is no need to worry too much about whether the other person will accept it or not.

I just do what I want to do. That’s how I’ve always been and always will be.

Two hours later.

Kang-hoo, who received a call from Lee Ye-rin right after breaking up with Park Dong-jae, was at Daejeon Station.

I just arrived at the station on the early morning KTX because my teleportation was on standby.

The topic of conversation that she brought up today was ‘overseas requests.’

It was a highly scalable proposal that was made much sooner than Kang-hoo had expected.
