The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 274

Episode 274: Unexpected Proposal (1)

* * *

“Hmm…”

Takashi’s eyebrows furrowed.

The selection of the dungeon to go to with Ganghu was almost in its final stages.

Now you just have to choose one of the two. 2-person dungeon or 4-person dungeon.

In reality, it is a place where you are judged as a 4-person dungeon and an 8-person dungeon, respectively.

However, considering Ganghu and his own judgment and skills, he made a small concession(?) and gave only half of the pieces.

“Originally, we were going to go together as two, but… I somehow thought it would be fun to go as a foursome.”

Takashi stuffed potato chips into his mouth and looked at the dungeon information with interest.

I wondered if this was a happy worry. I think both would be fun, but I have to choose one.

“It’s definitely interesting where the four of us are going. “The level of difficulty is adjusted according to the participant’s level.”

My mind is increasingly focused on the 4-player dungeon. There are a lot of variables here, and you need to identify patterns frequently.

For an ordinary hunter, it would be a form of living hell, but it suited Takashi’s bizarre tastes perfectly.

Are there people who only choose hell mode and hard mode when playing games? That kind of tendency was his.

“Then what about Yu Qinghua and Emilia? Wow, Korea, China, Japan and France? “The nationalities of the participants are also amazing?”

Takashi was so excited like a child that he couldn’t sit properly on the chair and was shaking his butt.

At this time, I wanted to show Yu Qinghwa and Emilia that they were not the only ones who believed in the pattern theory of all things.

What the two people said to Takashi every time was, “How could anyone be so obsessed with crazy theories like you?”

Takashi felt strangely lonely every time.

Rather than feeling disappointed for the two, I was disappointed that I didn’t have a friend with whom I could have intense discussions about dungeons.

At that time, it was Kang-hoo who appeared like a gift.

Even though our personalities were completely different, our approach to dungeons was the same. Takashi liked that kind of strong man.

So, I wanted to take this time to properly introduce myself to Yu Cheong-hwa and Emilia and show them that there isn’t just one idiot like me.

“First of all, Kang-hoo’s doctor is important. “Because we shouldn’t proceed carelessly.”

I thought that the key member for conquering this dungeon was Kang Hu, not Yu Qinghua or Emilia.

If for some reason you have to switch to a two-player strategy, Ganghu will naturally be first choice.

As such, I was planning to get Kang Hu’s consent.

“Oh, that sounds really fun. How can I get my head around this? How are you going to trouble the dungeon? “Clark!”

Takashi is now even jumping up and down on the chair. There were no children.

“But where is the phone?”

Only then did Takashi start looking for the smartphone that had been buried somewhere under the bed all day.

I don’t usually get any contact, and everyone at Taki Fam is busy these days…

I sent a message to Kang-hoo using my smartphone, which was now an expensive watch.

* * *

Meanwhile, Kang-hu, who came out of the dungeon after completing maintenance, tilted his head when he saw the manager looking at him with a puzzled expression.

The manager must have never guessed that Kanghu and Ayane would come out at this time as he was setting up the extra bed.

“What? uh? Uh… are you finished already?”

“yes. as you see.”

“Ah… Well, Lars Abel said he would come around 8pm and left.”

After hearing the manager’s words, I looked at the clock and saw that it was just past noon.

Even with Lars’ calculations, it seems that the attack would take more than eight hours longer than it does now.

Kang-hu said nothing and looked at the manager with an expression that asked what should I do now.

Then the manager let out an exclamation and urgently called Lars.

While the call is in progress.

Ayane, who was next to him, grinned and tapped Kanghu’s side.

“I guess they thought we would take this long! I should have finished it sooner, right? “Do you feel good?”

“I know. It did save a lot of time. “You’ve never stopped in sections 5 and 4 of Clown, which are said to take a lot of time, right?”

“It did. Even after repeating it several times, it was a really neat strategy.”

She made a proud expression.

Perhaps because I remembered every moment of joining forces with Kang-hu, the entire process was vivid in my mind.

I really regret not being able to film it. It seemed like it would be a strategy that I would remember forever.

At that time, the manager who received Lars’ instructions handed his smartphone to Kanghu and said.

“Lars says he has something to say personally.”

“Yes, this is Shin Kang-hoo.”

Kanghu put his ear and mouth to the smartphone.

Then I immediately heard Lars’ voice. It was a quite perplexed voice.

– You’ve already done the strategy like this? I can’t believe it. When I said I would come at night, I expected the record to be shortened to some extent.

“One way or another, it worked out well.”

I was debating whether to go in self-absorbed mode or be humble, but I went with the latter.

This is because I can already sense recognition in Lars’ voice.

Even if you don’t try to describe it here, Lars will automatically think about you in a negative way.

Isn’t that right?

Taking into account the shortening of the record, the calculated time was reduced by eight hours more than the estimated time.

There you would have already felt the difference from the mercenaries who had entrusted requests so far.

– I’ll go right away. I think it will take about an hour, but would you please bear with me?

“I’m fine. How are you, Ayane?”

“me? I’m fine too. Do you have any coffee or cookies here? “I just need to keep my mouth from being boring, right?”

“Oh, there is. “Don’t worry.”

“Ayane says she’s okay too. “Then I will wait.”

– yes. It is right for me to receive the essence myself, and the same goes for settlement, so I will hurry.

“Then I’ll see you later.”

The call has ended.

An hour or so wasn’t a long wait, and it seemed like a perfect way to boost my stamina.

So, Ayane enjoyed an unseasonable tea time in front of the dungeon with well-baked cookies and coffee.

Kanghu was receiving a call from Takashi via Hunter Gram.

I received a message asking if I was there, so I replied yes and immediately got a call.

“Yes, Takashi.”

– Ganghu! The dungeon is in the final confirmation stage. But there’s something I need your consent on, so I’d like to ask!

“Is today’s modulator concept grandpa? “It’s so hoarse that I don’t know what you’re saying.”

– Ah… just a moment. Then change to a child’s voice.

It felt somewhat chaotic, but that was also Takashi’s charm, so Kanghu waited quietly.

Takashi soon changed his voice to that of a seven-year-old boy and said the same thing, ending the recognition.

“In what area should I express my opinion?”

– I’m thinking of inviting two more people and taking them with me. I can guarantee your skills and I can guarantee your reliability.

“Who are you?”

While he was asking, several candidates came to mind.

Guaranteed skill and trust mean that the hunter will be drawn from Takashi’s narrow network of contacts.

Then it’s one of two things.

Either you belong to Thirteen Stars or you belong to Taki Fam. There are no other cases.

– They are Yu Cheonghwa and Emilia. Chinese French Hunter. My skills are very good. There will be no need to doubt its firepower. I do have a tendency to be a bit bothered by patterns, though?

“….”

At that moment, Ganghu was silent for a moment, unable to continue speaking.

I wondered if things would turn out this way thanks to the butterfly effect created by my relationship with Takashi.

Trying to build a connection with the two was something that Kang-hoo had been thinking about a lot lately.

However, I was wondering how to make it a natural meeting and was thinking about the method and process.

But Takashi planned it very naturally. In this way, there is a clear justification for meeting.

There’s nothing awkward about it, and it’s not something Kang-hu wanted to do first, so there’s no reason to be low-key.

And above all, Kang-hu was in a relationship with the two people. They also probably know Kang-hu.

‘There is no reason to refuse this.’

The picture is so good.

Even if I later find out that Jang Si-hwan hung out with them, including Takashi, it doesn’t matter.

This is because Takashi was the one who provided the justification in the first place.

Since Kanghu is ‘invited’ to Takashi’s strategy, it becomes too easy to give a reason for joining.

– Ganghu? hello?

“Oh, I was just checking the schedule for a moment. First of all, it would be good to be with a hunter who has a lot to learn. I agree. “I wonder what these two doctors are like.”

– Don’t worry, they are the kids in the dungeon who say they will be happy as long as I feed them well.

What Takashi means is that if you take charge of only the cumbersome pattern analysis, the firepower will definitely be provided.

In short, they also enjoy conquering dungeons as long as they don’t give them something to think about.

Even in the original.

Yu Qinghua and Emilia were colleagues who hung out with Takashi a lot.

Judging by their friendship and rapport, the two were closer to Takashi than Jang Si-hwan or Chae Gwan-hyung.

‘Is this how it opens up?’

The picture is so good.

A situation was created where Kang-hoo met the targets he thought were first, second, and third for recruitment all at once.

“good. Just confirm the schedule and I’ll be there right away. “Is it going to take a few more days anyway?”

– uh. We have to coordinate schedules for Yu Chenghwa and Emilia as well. Because I will put you first. Talk to me without any pressure.

“okay. “See you soon.”

– Yah! Sounds fun! Is your whole body itching already?

“Wash up a bit.”

– Haha! okay! I need to take a shower… I’ll contact you soon then!

The call has ended.

Kanghu stood still holding his smartphone for a long time.

A very good opportunity has come.

Of course, meeting one or two more times will not create trust or change your beliefs.

We will have to invest more time and emotion into them than we did into Takashi.

‘It won’t be easy.’

Still, it was good for Ganghu just to open the water like this.

This is because there is a difference between not being able to even try from the beginning and trying once.

‘Clearly, neither Yu Qinghua nor Emilia have a deep psychological bond with Jang Si-Hwan.’

The two women are different from Chae Gwan-hyeong and Casey Rex, who see Jang Si-hwan as a community of destiny.

To the extent that the tendency to be a business partner is still strong and the tendency to seek more of one’s own benefit is strong.

If you can catch the seeds of conflict or distrust hidden inside the two… there

may definitely come a chance to pull all three out of the thirteen stars.

The starting point is just about to be created. My heart was pounding non-stop.

The worst future infinitely tainted by Jang Si-hwan’s collaborator ending.

It seemed like it was possible to add a filter containing a little bit of light to a future marred by darkness.
