* * *

I met Han Seung-hyuk.

Kang-hoo did not forget to show generous kindness to Han Seung-hyeok, who was acting completely humble.

If Han Seung-hyuk had no use for him, his low posture would have been a reason to ignore him.

But now it was different.

Han Seung-hyuk was a hunter in charge of managing and coordinating the dungeons owned by the Onnuri Guild.

Therefore, feeding Han Seung-hyuk money was equivalent to gaining access to the Onnuri Guild’s dungeon.

So, it is worth the investment.

Kang-hoo, who has plenty of money but no dungeon, and Kang-hoo, who has authority over dungeons but no money.

Since the interests of both people align well, it is a win-win situation for both of them.

“What kind of money is this?”

“Health insurance premiums.”

“yes?”

“You must be working hard every day managing the entire guild dungeon, so don’t skimp on taking care of your health either.”

“Ah… …! So that’s what it was! Thank you!”

Han Seung-hyuk quickly put the wad of money he received from Kang-hoo into his suit pocket.

Although this money belongs entirely to Han Seung-hyuk, it was used in the most meaningful way.

Even if you just get the right to conquer one dungeon, you are guaranteed to get the skill from there.

This is because there is bound to be a mid-boss and a main boss. This means that at least two skills are secured.

When you consider that the value of a single skill can easily exceed tens or hundreds of billions…

Kang-hoo thought that the hundreds of millions of won that he was pouring into Han Seung-hyeok’s mouth was just pocket change.

“We will definitely set aside 20% of the officially determined license rental fee. If you lower the rental price cleverly, you can keep the difference.”

Even though Han Seung-hyeok, who looked old, was older than Kang-hoo, the balance of their conversation was different.

In the hunter world, isn’t power and money the order of things? To Han Seung-hyuk, the rich Kang-hoo is his eternal ‘big brother’.

While Han Seung-hyeok was busy counting the bills he received from Kang-hoo, Kang-hoo added the content in a low voice.

“But if you get caught playing around with the pricing, you’ll pay for all your mischief retroactively.”

“Oh, is there any chance that your balls will fly off? That won’t happen. I’ll share the rental price with you periodically.”

Kang-hoo was comfortable talking about money.

And Han Seung-hyuk was a manager who was appropriately corrupt, who covered his own front and managed things without being caught, while not being overly greedy.

Han Seung-hyuk asked.

“What kind of dungeon do you want? I can tell you the one with as many common keywords as possible.”

“Do you know the characteristics of all the dungeons owned by the Onnuri Guild?”

“Is there a seller who sells something that is his without knowing it? Of course.”

“Then. A dungeon that can be cleared alone at level 300 to 400.”

“……yes?”

“Didn’t you hear?”

“Oh, that’s not it. I’m just saying that I think you might be setting your sights too high.”

To solo play a dungeon that is level 300 or higher, you must be at least level 400.

This doesn’t apply to all cases, but it is possible only for level 400 hunters with considerable skill.

Even in the Onnuri Guild, there were only a few hunters who could conquer the area on their own.

“It seems that the money you gave me in abundance is actually complicating my thoughts. I wonder if I made a mistake.”

“Oh, no! I was being presumptuous! There is! There is a dungeon that is currently closed.”

At the warning of the polite(?) Kang-hoo, Han Seung-hyuk stopped making judgments and remained true to his purpose.

What he quickly pulled out of his folder and handed over was a dungeon with an interesting title from the first line.

‘Mystery Dungeon.’

It’s the type of dungeon I’ve been to with my guild members before.

The first hunter to discover the dungeon will have the key to enter the dungeon.

And every time you enter, the internal layout changes completely, making it a dungeon with no strategy.

It seemed that there was a dungeon like that among the dungeons owned by the Onnuri Guild.

Han Seung-hyuk continued the explanation.

“Actually, there has never been a single attack. However, that is the extent of what was discovered during the exploration process.”

“Are you saying that the level of the beginner monsters that you have identified by continuously coming and going is around that level?”

“Yes, that’s right! Actually, I was planning on outsourcing it to the Myungga Guild sooner or later… … .”

“What about the rental fee?”

“It’s 2 billion won!”

“… … .”

As Kang-hoo silently took the fallen belief out of his arms and gently touched it, Han Seung-hyuk’s face turned ashen.

“That was it! Now that it has become difficult to deal with, you can enter for free.”

“I’ll give you a generous commission, so don’t even think about selling to me. This is your final warning.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“I’m saying that we shouldn’t waste our energy on each other unnecessarily.”

“Yes! Anyway, you can enter this dungeon right away. The hunter who will be the key is also waiting.”

“I would like to decline your invitation.”

“So, I’ll just guide you in and then I’ll leave right away. There won’t be any re-entry either.”

“How about the rental process?”

“I think it should be handled by outsourcing. I don’t plan on keeping any complicated records.”

What Han Seung-hyuk meant was that he would not even leave a record of lending the dungeon license to Kang-hoo.

I’m just going to leave a simple record of how I outsourced the troublesome and intractable dungeon.

I don’t think it’s a problem if the Onnuri Guild knows about my existence.

Still, I wanted to reduce the number of times I had to leave my name on an attendance sheet.

If you can’t help it, you’ll leave it, but if you ‘have’ no choice, it’s natural to find a way not to leave it.

Thud!

Kang-hoo threw a wad of 500 million won worth of money that he took out of his backpack.

Even after paying this amount of money, there is still a balance of 263 billion won in the bank account.

In fact, Kang-hoo now finds it more difficult to spend money than to earn it, unless he buys expensive items.

“Please continue to work hard in the future.”

“Is there any chance, brother?”

Han Seung-hyuk bowed his waist at a right angle at Kang-hoo’s firm words.

As expected, the rich hunter is his older brother, his senior, and a respected customer. Han Seung-hyuk’s thought process was simple.

* * *

As Han Seung-hyeok said, the hunter from the Onnuri Guild who would become the key left immediately after joining Kang-hoo.

I didn’t think that Han Seung-hyuk would do something stupid, but I didn’t think I could trust him 100% either.

【Third Eye】

【You can install a third eye at a designated location and share the field of vision as much as that eye can see.

The third eye is transparent and cannot be seen, but it is sensitive to the flow of mana and can be easily damaged.

I installed the eyes.

Since there was no need to look elsewhere, the direction of the view was set towards the dungeon entrance.

A situation where the dungeon entrance view is naturally shared in your head, separate from the view seen with your own two eyes.

At first, I was worried that this would cause confusion in judging information, but my worries were unfounded.

In terms of strategy games, it can be understood as looking at a minimap, and in terms of broadcasting, it can be understood as looking at a split screen.

‘Good. The view is clear and it feels like I’ve installed a CCTV that checks in real time.’

It seemed like it could continue to be used as a valuable skill in the future.

If you want to check the rear, you will end up having to use manpower if you don’t have this skill.

Any hunter who has experienced the value of being able to save that ‘one’ person will know how valuable it is.

Kook.

Kang-hoo held the fallen belief in his left hand.

I plan to always use my left hand as my main hand until the battle becomes difficult enough that I have to risk my life.

The reason was simple.

This is because using only one hand eventually becomes a ‘habit.’

For example, an assassin who always uses a dagger with his right hand can only attack from the outside from the right side.

That means.

This means that from the opposing position, you can respond by attacking from the outside to the left.

“I guess I’ll have to add one more option to this and train.”

An additional option is offensive evasion.

Offensive evasion means avoiding an enemy’s attack, but avoiding it forward rather than backward.

The reason this is important is because the process of avoidance itself leads to counterattack.

Normal evasion ends up just avoiding the attack, and continues to give the opponent the right to attack.

This increases your strategic options as you avoid aggressive evasion while at the same time bringing the offensive to your side.

“I think the battle with the Queen of the Brood meant a lot to me.”

It was a battle that provided great stimulation.

I didn’t think it was normal to win by pouring in Mad Solarkyum and Gakshinhwan.

Of course, it was also true that I was looking too high at the moment, as I was just barely in the mid-level 200s.

Even if you look at the level of the brood queen, she’s probably close to 500.

But around that point, I thought it would be worth a try with level 300 or 400 hunters.

Because, even if monsters don’t know, hunters are beings that can self-buff with stimulants or drugs.

Increasing abilities through skills or potions is not exclusive to Kang-hoo. It is a variable that anyone can create.

That’s why it’s important to always keep your eye level high. That way, you won’t be confused by the power gap later on.

“What kind of skills do you have?”

Kang-hoo, with an expression full of curiosity, slowly became transparent and disappeared somewhere.

I don’t care about the leftovers.

The only concern was to quickly attack and tenaciously rob the middle boss and main boss of their skills.

* * *

2 hours later.

‘It’s fun, it’s fun.’

Kang-hoo was having great fun with the dungeon’s environment where gravity was increasing as he went further.

Because I felt like my body was getting heavy, as if I had entered a training room.

So I had to use the acceleration skill faster than I calculated and more than I thought.

In addition, in order to accustom the body to the pressure of gravity, more effective postures had to be studied.

The whole process was interesting.

The value was also great.

This is because among the Hunters, there are those with the ability to implement attacks in the form of gravity fields.

The strengthening of gravity was not an absurd environment. It was a variable that could be encountered at any time.

‘That’s why they say it’s a fun lottery that hasn’t scratched the mystery dungeon.’

It may be a terrible ordeal for some, but it is a pleasant stimulus for Kang-hoo. It is not easy to have such an experience.

Kang-hoo checked the skills he obtained by killing the middle boss.

I thought it would be difficult to deal with him since he uses a spear, but he was more vulnerable than I thought.

【Hwa-ryong-chang】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】

“I like the name.”

As you can see from the skill name, it was a skill based on spears and spear techniques.

Thanks to his extrasensory senses, Kang-hoo had learned the basics of spearmanship, a skill he had never used before.

In addition, he has the ‘Ganggeok Long Spear’ that he had taken from Heo Jeong-tae before, so he has a weapon.

So, without any complications, it was a situation where I could immediately check the skill’s firepower.

【Spear of Strike – Weapon】

【Rating: 4th grade】

【Strength +100】

【You can freely shorten the length of the spear as much as you want. However, there is a maximum length.】

Kang-hoo took out the spear of strong attack from his bosom, stretched it to its maximum, and then casted flame spear.

At that moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A giant flame dragon coiled around a long spear and breathed fire wildly, generating a fierce aura.

It’s obvious.

It was filled with the wrath of a dragon, burning and melting everything caught in its path.
