I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 79

Episode 080

I waited a really long time.

In fact, I tried to receive the quest reward several times in the dungeon, but I couldn’t move because I didn’t know what form I would receive it in.

If I receive compensation and a black evil spirit is following me, what can I say as an excuse?

Of course, it was also largely because I couldn’t find the right timing because so many other things were happening.

But not anymore.

I now have a large, quiet space where I can be alone in a secluded house in the woods where no one comes.

– Get it now? Instead of doing that, let’s go to a suitable room and do it.

As I said, this place was a bit awkward.

This is because Seo Ji-han and I were standing on the stairs while cleaning the last remaining stairs.

After that, I found a suitable room on the first floor and came in.

Among the rooms I was cleaning, there was a suitable place.

It is a fairly spacious and cleanly empty room without any furniture such as bedding or a table.

There was a faint chemical smell on the walls, and it looked like a place where drugs were processed.

“Then I will take it.”

Seo Ji-han also came close, perhaps in anticipation of compensation.

After checking the changed text in the quest window, I raised my hand.

So, you just have to touch it like using your inventory, right?

Quest: Kim Young-gil’s Revenge (Reward Receipt)

When I received the reward, the quest window disappeared and a notification message appeared again.

We have been able to embody Kim Young-gil’s thoughts.

Only materials collected directly can be used for crafting using thoughts.

There was a clue attached to the reward that could not be seen when receiving the quest.

Maybe it’s after hearing about Hunter Kim Young-gil’s evil deeds while he was still alive, but for no reason I feel undesirable towards this noble family.

If there were such restrictions, they should have been notified when receiving the quest.

If you’re a hunter like Seo Ji-han who doesn’t have much luck with items, there are only a few items you can make.

Isn’t this done on purpose?

Because if I set this limit, I can just sit around and not make a lot of items, right?

Well, since revenge was taken care of, it wouldn’t be strange if there was a limit to the compensation.

Somehow, the reward was good compared to the quest difficulty.

– what’s the matter? Is something wrong?

Seo Ji-han, who seemed to have shaken my face, approached me with a worried expression.

“There are restrictions on compensation without prior notice.”

– which?

“Only the items I gather can be used as materials.”

I shrugged my shoulders and Seo Ji-han blinked with a strange expression.

He said he didn’t know whether to laugh or not.

Yeah, these limitations mean nothing to me anyway.

Anyway, I checked the new item in the status window.

– Implementation 〈Kim Young-gil’s Thoughts〉 (Active)

Another new item appeared under my neat skill.

When I activated it with a sense similar to a skill, a black shape appeared in the air, shaking.

It’s almost similar to Kim Young-gil’s grudge that I saw before, but it feels a bit more calm.

No, if I look closely, I think I can see a face.

That expression makes me feel like I’m looking down on him.

Oh, it must be my mood.

“Well, I implemented it, but how do I do it? Is it okay to just ask a crafting hunter to make an item?”

I was talking to myself, but unexpectedly, my thought body answered.

– You need the right materials… If it’s too trivial, it won’t be made…

Even though the speech is slurred, it feels like a surprisingly condescending attitude is conveyed.

It wasn’t my fault.

This thought form really looks down on me.

This is probably an influence of your personality during life, right?

Before the resentment was resolved, it seems that his true personality was not revealed properly because he was focusing on the resentment.

It has only been reaffirmed that what Eundam Yoo said was true.

Okay, now that it’s like this, I can really pamper you with ease.

“You can make as many as you want as long as you have the materials, right?”

– We need the right ingredients…

Seo Ji-han was looking at me with interest as I received a confirmation.

I smiled at him and opened my inventory.

And took it out.

A mountain of material items that I have collected so far in the Beast King Dungeon.

The items literally poured out and filled half the room in an instant.

I was a little surprised as it was my first time bringing up this much.

But what surprised me the most was Kim Young-gil’s thought body.

The thought form seemed to have forgotten that it was even fluttering and was frozen in its original state.

“I still have a lot left in my inventory, but I didn’t think it would all fit in the room, so I only took out some.”

I informed him with a smile as kindly as possible, and it seemed as if my thought body was trembling slightly.

– This can’t be happening…. This can’t be happening…

As expected.

I aimed, I aimed.

It looks like he came up with a clever plan, but I ended up falling for his own plan.

Seo Ji-han, who was watching from the side, was holding his stomach and silently laughing.

“Then, please make this core into a stat-increasing potion, and make the rest into reasonably cost-effective items.”

Now that the quest reward part is over, I think I’ll go do some groceries this time.

As I made up my mind to turn around, I heard a low, sobbing voice from behind me.

– It’s unfair…

I almost felt a little weak, but I just closed the door and left.

Seo Ji-han, who left the room together, seemed to remember something and opened his mouth.

– It just occurred to me, I think I heard a rumor about that person too.

“really?”

– At the time, I think I just ignored it after hearing it. It was quite a while ago, so it’s quite an old rumor.

“What was it?”

– That person was an early member of the Amhyeon Guild. He was almost the only high-level potion-making hunter, so his arrogance was very high. I think there were a lot of people who got down on their knees and begged for unfair treatment because they said they wouldn’t make items if they didn’t listen to what they said.

“hmm.”

I already feel bad.

The very meaning of ‘I prayed’ was not good.

Seo Ji-han studied my expression and spoke quietly.

– The person who spoke to me was a young female hunter who had just joined the Sky Guild. From what I heard, all female hunters under the age of 25 in the Shadow Guild are lined up in front of that person and selected to serve as secretaries.

“Ugh. Do you just do that?”

Even though I said this, I actually know it.

The oppressive atmosphere of that group.

The next, well-expected words flowed from Seo Ji-han’s mouth.

– If you don’t like it, you have to leave the guild. So, that hunter left the guild and came to our guild. In addition, it is said that he also treated male hunters harshly. He beat him up with a human punching bag and then fed him a potion he made to confirm its efficacy. I heard it was called a potion experiment.

“That’s cruel.”

When I frowned, Seo Ji-han shrugged his shoulders.

– Even if you did something like that, no one could say anything. I think there was more to it than that, but that’s all I remember specifically. Anyway, the story is that there are a lot of people who want it.

Even after hearing Yoo Eundam’s words, I just thought of a somewhat irritated and nervous boss, but I didn’t realize it was more than that.

This is truly a criminal living without the law.

“It’s ironic that a person who brought so many tears to other people’s eyes died with a grudge himself.”

– Among the dead, how many of them die without any resentment? If you hadn’t rooted me, that resentment would have rotted away anyway.

“I fainted for two days after receiving a quest to resolve a human grudge…” In the

end, I gained a useful item crafting skill, but thinking about that time made me feel irritated all over again.

I opened the door I came out of again, went in, poured out more material items from my inventory, and came out.

Even looking at the thought form shaking in embarrassment does not relieve my mood.

I ran out of the room wheezing and saw Seo Ji-han nodding his head with a stiff expression on his face.

– Come to think of it, I passed out for two days.

“I did.”

It’s a sudden thought, but isn’t the reason I personally took revenge because of my unusual personality?

I think the reason he knocked me out when he gave me the quest was because he sucked some life out of me and used that power to get revenge.

Ugh, I feel uncomfortable.

– There’s no need to rest since I don’t have a body anyway. Think of it as a factory, not a person.

“That’s what I plan to do.”

– Good idea!

Only then did Seo Ji-han’s face brighten a little.

After taking a bottle of water from my inventory and gulping it down, I felt hungry later.

Because I had breakfast and cleaned up, I couldn’t eat anything until dinner time.

I took all the bulky modern items out of my inventory and neatly organized them in one corner of the room.

After emptying my inventory, I plan to put the things I bought here.

I put on my hoodie and coat and searched for pictures of American supermarkets on my charged cell phone.

With just that photo and an associative moving scroll, shopping was a breeze.

I grabbed a bunch of dollars that I had already saved from the market and bought everything I needed.

I bought a soft blanket, food, and a propane gas tank.

There was nothing that wasn’t available in large American supermarkets that sold roof tops.

On the way, I bought a lot of oil for the generator at the gas station, filled up the generator, and stored the excess in a corner of the basement. It was finally evening.

After taking the hot water bath I had been longing for, there was nothing more I wanted.

But there was still one more thing left to do.

When I came out after taking a bath, Seo Ji-han took out a beer soaked in ice and set it on the table.

“Wow, beer after the bath.”

– I think you’ll like it.

“Thank you very much. “This is happiness.”

I made a loud, uncle-like sound and took a swig of beer to see Seo Ji-han looking at me happily.

Then he quickly suggested some snacks.

No, how on earth can you do something like this with a body made of straw?

I know roughly how it was done.

He must have put the beer on his back, climbed up the chair, and put it down on the table.

Because I knew the process, this consideration was even more touching.

But no matter how much I think about it, I have no idea how this sausage was grilled.

“You didn’t burn yourself while grilling sausages again, did you?”

– Now that I’m good at it, that doesn’t happen anymore. Sausage with beer. You must be hungry, so eat quickly.

I gratefully bit into the sausage that Seo Ji-han had prepared.

It’s really delicious, but this isn’t today’s main snack.

“There is something we need to eat with it.”

Seo Ji-han looked like he had expected it.

I took out the Horn of Vargis from my inventory.

Then I sprinkled the previously prepared cheese dipping sauce over the horns.

Still, it’s much thinner and smaller than the Kergis horn I ate before, so it’s relatively easy.

“Then I will eat well.”

When I took a bite, I felt the familiar texture and the taste of cheese sauce.

And a notification message appears before my eyes.

The left horn of King Vargis was consumed.

Upon completing 100% consumption, you will inherit the skills of King Vargis.

Current progress 1%

Inheritable skill

〈S-Class Chungking Mutation〉 (Active)

Hmm, it’s a mutation skill.

Then, Eundam Yoo must have taken the poison skill.

After swallowing Vargis’ horn with beer, I took out my cell phone in one hand.

And that’s how I ended that evening, flipping through Korean news.
