I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 35

Episode 035
Live news from Korea was playing on my phone.
The title is ‘Emergency Programming.’ Guam Dungeon Creation Explosion.
〈Let’s take a look at the news about Hunter Son Mo-ah that was delivered as breaking news through a local reporter. Let me connect. Reporter Kuami?〉
〈Yes, this is Reporter Kuami. Even though it is late, Guam’s local news is hot with the story of Hunter Son Moa. You must be very curious about the local atmosphere. Here we have prepared an interview with a Korean survivor.〉
The microphone was pointed at a middle-aged man with half his head bald.
He is a familiar person.
I saw it earlier when I was entering the escape gate.
〈…So I thought it was dead, but the bear fell with one blow. Everyone was surprised. I can’t even speak. But he actually said, ‘I didn’t do it.’ How humble. I really owe you a huge debt of my life. I hope you see this news and say thank you. The family also said they were very grateful….〉
The news video cut the interview roughly in the middle, probably because it was too long, and returned to the studio.
I was watching the video with a feeling of fascination.
Isn’t this a dream?
〈I am very happy as this is truly unexpected news of elevation of national prestige. What’s more surprising is that there were zero deaths. There’s never been a dungeon creation explosion where there have been no deaths so far, right?〉
Reporter Kuami’s voice, who was still connected to the announcer’s words, came out.
< you're right. This is unprecedented in history. Thanks to this, the local area is in a festive mood even though the airport was completely destroyed.〉 〈Furthermore, according to the survivor's testimony, they said that they killed a B-class monster with one hit. If this is true, doesn't this mean the emergence of a very powerful person? 〈 That's right. This is good news for Korea as well.〉 〈Then, we will end our connection with local reporters at this point. Thank you, Reporter Kuami.〉 A live broadcast notification was blinking on one side of the screen. After the connection was terminated, the panelist in the studio looked through the documents and spoke. 〈Moa Son Hunter. I have an unusual history.〉 〈What is it?〉 〈There is a record that I was caught in a dungeon creation explosion that recently occurred in Korea and came back alive.〉 〈 I was caught in a dungeon twice in a short period of time. Then, we can assume that he was awakened at that time.〉 Fortunately, it seems that the fact that he was caught up in the irregular crack was not discovered. The announcer spoke in a tone that almost convinced me that I had awakened at that time. Well, I can't turn away now. I told my mom, ‘I am an awakened person,’ and jumped into the Guam dungeon. 〈I think that is highly likely. It is said that he was an ordinary office worker before the explosion.〉 〈I see. And I heard that the Guam government requested a ban on reporting in order to protect Hunter Son Moa's new recruit.〉〈 That's right. Since this happened suddenly while we were on a family trip, Hunter Son and his family must have been very surprised, so out of consideration, we are preventing reporters from contacting us.〉 〈Still, an interview will be possible after returning home, right?〉 〈 Yes . . We are preparing an airport reporting team.〉 〈I hope the reporting will be successful. Then let’s move on to the next news. Due to the closure of the Guam airport, the scheduled flight was urgently scheduled to go to the nearby island of Palau...〉 At that point, Seungju cut off the news. Then he changed the screen and held it out again. “Look at this. “There’s even an article!” It's true. 〈Breaking News〉Guam Airport closed due to dungeon explosion. All victims returned. When I clicked on the article, the comment window was in chaos. kang**** 06:51:03 Godmoa Godmoa Godmoa Godmoa Godmoa Godmoa Godmoa Godmoa Are you watching Yoo Eun-dam Reply 1 ⇧ 76 ⇩ 44 ↳ rain**** 06:52:04 Yoo Eun It is unreasonable to rub against the wall. ⇧ 6 ⇩ 3 drop**** 06:53:09 I’m going to eat a bowl of soup.

It's a successful debut. Unlike Seo Ji-han, who was smiling, I felt very distraught. I liked it until they called me Hunter. In news articles. Isn't this getting too big? And what is reporting? “Everyone in Korea has probably seen this, right?” "of course. “I got a lot of texts on my phone too.” As Seungju said, I too belatedly remembered my cell phone. Now that I think about it, I haven't checked once since I left the dungeon. “But since when did you…” “I need to go to the bathroom for a moment.” I left Seung-ju, who started the car to ask questions, and ran into the bathroom. To be exact, it was the bathroom. The gold-plated bathtub and luxurious gray tiles were very nice, but that wasn't what was important right now. I took out my phone and saw that there were quite a few messages piled up. There were a lot. Most of them were from friends asking, ‘Hey, is this you?’ along with a link to an article. Just looking at the long list of messages made me feel dizzy, so I put my phone down for now. - There’s no need to answer right away. You don’t look good. ” that's right." Actually, I'm in a semi-panic state right now. In times like these, I have to be more careful about what I say. Because you never know when or how I might make a mistake. - Sell the items you brought or sell them on the market. Thanks to Seo Ji-han's mention, I was finally able to recall the inventory I had forgotten about. Actually , I was planning to put the items on the market as soon as I left the dungeon, but if this much attention is being focused, that's not a good move. Moreover, the number of items I've collected from the dungeon all day is far beyond the normal level. Selling It will be noticed immediately. “I don’t think I should do that now.” - Why? “They know that I have been to the King Dungeon, so if a King Dungeon item or Beast King dungeon item is posted in the name of Luther, I will be caught right away.” After a hunter named Moa Son enters the Beast King type dungeon in Guam, a large number of Beast King type dungeon items appear on the market under the name Luther? Moreover, before that, a large number of s-class Evitanis cores that can be obtained from the Chung King type dungeon It was supplied, but Hunter Son Moa also entered that dungeon? Oh, so the items posted by Luther overlap with the dungeon entry? This is a guess that anyone can think of. This would be really solid circumstantial evidence. But Seo Ji-han shook his head . - That won't happen. Unless you monitor all market items, there is no way to collectively check what items the seller named Luther sold. You can only know piecemeal. After hearing it, it seemed plausible. Well , ' There is no function to view the 'items that this seller has sold so far.' But it's still a little unsettling. The items overlap too much. "Still, a market brokerage company might be looking at Hunter Market. Ah, I'd like to ask you a question. there is." - What is it? There is something important to check at this point. “Is Mr. Seo Ji-han’s Market nickname ‘Knife’?” When Seo Ji-han went to an evil spirit dungeon, an evil spirit dungeon item named Knife was uploaded. When Seo Ji-han visited a king-type dungeon, a demon-type dungeon item was posted. So everyone was assuming that Knife was Seo Ji-han. No matter how much it was, Even if it is not possible to track each seller, if the timing overlaps so transparently, you can't help but be suspicious. In fact, this is why I am worried that the nickname will be revealed. However, if the knife is not Seo Ji-han, people's guesses are not credible. That means you don't need to worry too much... - Yes, the knife is me. Hey, Seo Ji-han. I'm at a loss for words. It's really absurd. "No, I don't trust you even if you tell me that the person who has already been caught won't get caught based on his nickname. song." - Hmm. That's true too. Seo Ji-han was easily convinced. Then he suggested another method. - Then, launder items. I don't do it because it's a hassle, but your situation is a little different. "Laundering items? That money laundering or something like that. Will?" - It's similar. It's a word that catches my ear. Seo Ji-han opened his mouth to me who showed interest. - The only people whose nicknames are exposed in the Hunter Market are those who have registered a transaction. So, when you post an announcement to buy a specific item or sell an item. Only the person who registered is exposed. The name of the person who pays for the registered transaction is not left. That seems to be the case. When the S-class Evitanis core was sold, it was possible to check the sales history to see how much it was sold for, but who bought it? I didn't know if it went there. - Item laundering is done by taking advantage of this blind spot. The Hunter Market is a barter market, right? You find a purchase transaction that you want for your item, exchange it for whatever the price is, and then resell the item. Oh It seems okay. “If you know how to do this, why didn’t you do it?” - There's no need to do anything. I'm a person who just goes straight ahead. In fact, if there were a lot of hunters who laundered items in this way, it would be difficult to associate the nickname with a specific hunter because it would be mixed up with normal transactions. Moreover, just because I went to a dungeon, I would immediately collect all the dungeon by-products . They won't even put it on the market. They might keep it for their own use, but when they no longer need it, they might register it on the market a long time later. I think some people will wait until the price goes up. Considering that, the timing of dungeon raids and selling items will definitely depend on the market. I also understand Seo Ji-han's statement that guessing a specific hunter based on the time of registration is close to speculation. Of course, there are people like Seo Ji-han who used the market too honestly and had their nicknames completely exposed. Well, on the other hand, even though it is transparent like this , Everyone was just skeptical and not sure, right? Moreover, in the news earlier, it was speculated that I had recently awakened during the creation of a Chungwang type dungeon. In fact, I had sold items under the name of Luther before that.
