I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 38

Episode 038:

On the way out after having lunch at a restaurant in Guam that is famous for its good restaurants.

Seungju, who had gone to the counter to pay, looked embarrassed and trudged over.

“You’re not accepting it again?”

“huh. “I think one of the people my sister saved from the dungeon was her aunt.”

Somehow, throughout the meal, food that I didn’t order kept coming out.

I don’t know how many times it has been already.

We paid almost no money the entire time we traveled in Guam.

Wherever I went, store owners recognized my face and refused to accept my money.

Even the gifts piled up in the hotel room are enough to say thank you.

It was very embarrassing to play and eat for free, not once or twice, but every time.

Besides, there are some things that personally bother me.

“If it is their sincerity, I should be grateful. “Did you say thank you?”

“of course.”

Mom nodded at Seungju’s answer,

“That’s it.”

After eating so much delicious food, I desperately needed a walk.

Following my mom’s suggestion, we decided to go for a walk.

“Look at the sunlight. It would be perfect to dry the blanket.”

“I know.”

Mom looked very happy in the warm sunlight.

Today is the 6th day since entering Guam.

Our trip was going smoothly.

The commotion of the first day was a peace that was insignificant.

We were still staying at the hotel provided by Guam, and the Guam government Because they wanted it and it was quite comfortable.

In fact, we were worried that they might use the accommodation as an excuse to be a nuisance.

However, the Guam government contacted us only once.

It asked us to make a brief statement in the morning, which Christel Lee had mentioned in advance. I

was nervous that they might interrogate me about this and that, even though it was just a simple statement, but what came back were simple questions that were indifferent. Why did you

enter the country? Why did you go into the dungeon? Was there anything unusual about the dungeon? It

was roughly the same level. It was almost like

going through immigration once. It felt like more.

My answer was that I didn’t really know how to save my traveling brother.

That was the last time the Guam government contacted us again.

My name still appears occasionally in the news, but even that was becoming less frequent.

Yesterday . The news about the bidding competition for Guam’s airport reconstruction was even hotter.

– From Guam’s perspective, it would not be happy if a foreign hunter became a hero after an accident in the country.

It was an unexpected political reason.

Well, for me, it was good because my ears didn’t itch.

Anyway . Thanks to this, this relaxed atmosphere was expected to continue until I entered Korea. I don’t

know how I got the number, but I plan to ignore all the calls pouring in on my cell phone requesting coverage. It’s not

like I don’t have anxiety like the calm before the storm, but I’m afraid my family will bring up the topic. No one said anything.

“It may sound like I’m full when I say it like this, but I’m getting tired of lobster and tropical fruits.”

“Then why don’t we eat Korean food for dinner?”

Seungju shook her head at my suggestion.

“I don’t like it. I think I’ll regret it when I go to Korea. I should eat more then.”

“You can come back again.”

When I answered casually, Seungju opened her eyes wide with a belated realization.

“Ah… that could be true.”

It seems like my family can’t keep up with the rich life as much as I do.

“I never even thought about that.”

When I saw Seungju’s face muttering absentmindedly, I felt very sad. I

wanted to graduate quickly, so I could hardly

take a leave of absence. I studied during the day to receive a scholarship and worked part-

time at night. My college life was one where I didn’t make many friends because I didn’t have time.

Probably . Seungju’s school life will be almost similar to mine.

“If you want, I can just let you live here. Don’t work, just relax and surf. How about living like that? Mom, too. If I go to Korea, there will be a lot of noise from reporting and everything, so I’ll just return home. “I live by traveling the world.”

Seungju and her mother blinked as if they thought it was just a dream.

It seemed like they didn’t feel it.

“You don’t have to decide now. You can do it at any time. I sent you money to the account, so spend it and tell me if it’s not enough.”

1 billion and 500 million to my mother and Seungju, respectively.

I deliberately adjusted the amount because I knew if I sent more than this amount, I might be treated suspiciously.

Actually, I wanted to give cash as compensation for the B-grade magic stone I used in Guam, but I guess I thought it looked a bit bad. What the Guam government sent was an item that increased magical power.

It was a chain-shaped bracelet with a very pretty moonstone shining faintly with the power of a magic stone. It was

called the Moonstone Bracelet of Wisdom.

The grade was C.

To be honest, the appearance was not my taste. Still, it was good in that it was less flashy than the ring that Seo Ji-han gave me. The

Lapis Lazuli Ring of the Apocalypse that Seo Ji-han gave me had a majestic and ornate design, as its name suggests, and was clunky and heavy as if only a king would wear it. However, it was a little smaller to fit the

size of my finger. Thanks to this, it could barely be categorized as a general accessory.

Anyway, regardless of the design, I really liked the bracelet’s abilities.

It increased magical power by a whopping 20.

‘Wow, it increases abilities twice as much as a ring?’

After trying on the bracelet, I was very impressed, and Seo Ji-han looked puzzled.

How much does it increase?

‘It increases the magic power of this bracelet by 20.’

…The Lapis Lazuli Ring of Apocalypse only increases your strength by 10?

‘Huh? Only 10?’

It’s nothing.

‘What is it?’

He hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.

The Lapis Lazuli Ring of the Apocalypse doubles the strength based on the wearer’s basic strength value.

‘I didn’t see anything like that in my notification window. It did say something about adjusting the minimum value.’

It turned out that there was no strength value among my abilities, so instead of the original ability of the ring, my strength only increased by 10. In

this case, I would normally not receive any effect, but the ring was such an excellent item that it felt like it went up by 10.

In fact, this was a huge increase . I didn’t think it was a good item, so I just wore it, but I guess I’ll

have to take it off when I’m working in a guild. If it’s such a great item, someone might recognize it.

Seo Ji-han seemed very disappointed that the lapis lazuli ring wasn’t showing off its true abilities, but I I was satisfied because the ring had made my life very convenient.

“What about your sister?”

While I was lost in my thoughts, Seungju suddenly spoke up.

Since I had barely heard the previous content, I couldn’t figure out what the question meant.

“Huh? What about me?”

“You didn’t hear. Mom said Korean food looked good for dinner. Are you going to go with me, too?”

When I glanced at Seo Ji-han, he shook his head resolutely.

As expected,

“Oh, that won’t work.”

“Dinner tonight too?”

“huh.”

My heart tingles when I see the worried expressions of Seungju and her mother.

From the evening of the day after arriving in Guam, I continued to miss family plans.

I made the excuse that I needed to rest because I wasn’t feeling well due to overexerting myself from catching B-class monsters, but for some reason it still seemed to be working well.

Of course, my physical condition was fine.

The real reason is because he sneaks into the Guam dungeon every evening.

Because of special training to be able to fire the Chungwangpo, which is fired directly at the head, with the hand.

Second day of arrival in Guam.

After spending the whole day receiving excellent treatment and having a great time, I returned to the hotel and went to bed, when Seo Ji-han quietly woke me up.

I’ve been thinking about the problem you mentioned about Chungwangpo’s aiming.

‘What do you mean…’

It was an unexpected phrase that came to me while I was half asleep.

It was said that if you aim with your head, you will turn into a human top.

‘Oh, did I say that?’

I did it. I think we can solve that.

‘how?’

Don’t ask questions.

Seo Ji-han grinned instead of answering my words, and after that, my special night training, which I couldn’t watch without tears, began.

After that, at night, I bought a lot of magic power increasing potions and magic recovery potions at the market and secretly headed to the dungeon.

So that my family wouldn’t be surprised when they woke up, I put a fake Sonmoa made of illusion scrolls on my bed and put an invisibility scroll on my body.

Seo Ji-han said that now was the perfect opportunity as the invisibility detection magic field had not yet been installed near the dungeon.

When the Guam government begins full-scale dungeon management, all kinds of magical facilities will be created to restrict access.

In the early days of dungeon creation, there are no such facilities, so it is relatively easy to sneak in and out.

Seeing as how he knew something so well, it seemed like he had done it quite a bit.

Anyway, thanks to using the invisibility scroll, I easily passed the entrance to the dungeon guarded by hunters.

And I drank the magic recovery potion again and again, focusing on special training every day.

Then, around dawn, I put on the invisibility scroll again, left the dungeon, and secretly returned to the hotel room.

Since you don’t know what will happen in the future, you should hide the power you have as much as possible and develop the power you can use as much as possible.

You are right.

But why are your eyes shining so brightly?

It’s like they’re trying to turn me into a future boss monster hunter.

You look very happy?

Anyway, after special training, I finally succeeded in using Chungwangpo by hand.

Although the power was worse than when I shot it with my head, Seo Ji-han nodded, saying that it was a power that matched my magical power level.

Of course, there were not only drawbacks.

Now that I can shoot with my hand, aiming has definitely become easier.

And the process of gathering power was omitted, and even though it was magic, it could be used almost immediately.

Although the damage was greatly reduced… I received

special training in hand-fired Chungwang guns, and all kinds of dungeon by-products from hunting, as well as equipment items gifted to me by the Guam government.

After spending so much time in Guam, it was finally time to return home.
