The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 54
Episode 54 Constellation Test (1)
【The Constellation ‘Master of Mobile Warfare’ keeps clapping while remembering your splendid battle.】 【The
Constellation ‘Apostle of Justice’ is endlessly cheering for you as you realize the will of good and punishment of evil. 】
【The Constellation ‘Cunning Flatterer’ admits that his new contractor is a much greater person.】
In addition to the Dimension Stealer’s proposal, other Constellations also sent positive feedback to Ganghu.
The Master of Mobile War and the Apostle of Justice were constellations that had consistently supported them.
However, there was something disappointing about not being able to sign a contract yet.
This is because there is a very big difference between sponsorship and contract.
Since the great constellation called Dimension Stealer is the main constellation, the barrier to entry seems to be high.
If possible, it could be said to be the Constellation’s desire to have all of its contractees.
“Let’s just rest for a day.”
Kanghu requested a break.
If you take the Constellation Exam now, there is a high possibility that you will be exhausted and fail as soon as you start.
Failing an exam is not just failure, it is death. There was absolutely no reason to overdo it.
【As much as you want.】
Even the Dimension Stealer didn’t make Ganghu rush.
He wanted his contractor to be able to take the test in the best possible conditions.
She truly cared for Kang-hu.
Clearly, Kang-hoo was the contractee with the best future and potential.
I never wanted to lose it or lose it to another constellation. You must be your own contractor.
Just like that, the constellation test was just around the corner.
Judging from the statistics that hunters usually take the constellation exam around level 150.
Kanghu had to take the exam much early.
At only level 51.
If you think about it the other way around, it also means that the Dimension Stealer thinks highly of Ganghu.
The Constellation never impulsively proposes a test. He would have thought that his current skills were sufficient.

after.
After safely arriving at Pyeongtaek Station, Kang-hu stayed in a safe hotel and rested for the day.
I checked in in the morning when the sun was up, but when I entered the room with blackout curtains, it was as dark as night.
Kang-hoo, lying on the bed, was the first to relive his battle with Cha So-hee.
“It definitely wasn’t easy.”
It was a battle where they were able to win the game early because they sensed the loopholes.
If Cha So-hee had been a little more careful and sophisticated, the battle would have been much longer.
The flames were a real burden.
It was uncomfortable in many ways because the elemental firepower was maximized.
Since I was never hit directly, there were no wounds, but even if I only grazed a little, it would have melted away.
It was even more frightening to see the scars that had formed on his shoulders from just being hit by a few drops of that small fire rain.
“If Cha So-hee is this bad, I don’t even want to calculate how much more difficult it must be for someone like Kang Dong-hyun.”
Ganghu made a bitter expression.
In fact, if you lower your standards drastically, Kang-hoo was a hunter you had nothing to fear.
Because it is overwhelmingly strong.
However, for Kang-hu, who was constantly looking up, there was no section in which he could be absolutely satisfied.
After defeating Cha So-hee, thoughts of Kang Dong-hyun immediately came to mind and the goal was adjusted upward.
In the future, if there is a day to catch Kang Dong-hyun, then the target will be adjusted to Chae Gwan-hyung or Jang Si-hwan.
This fierce competitive spirit and sense of purpose will never disappear until you reach the top.
“Did you see the email?”
Kanghu checked the mail app.
I thought it might be too early, but I still had hopes.
“You read it, right?”
When I looked at the receipt confirmation, it was marked as read. There was even a reply.
[Who is it?]
It was a short reply, but Kanghu judged it to be positive.
If Lee Hyun-seok thought the email was nonsense, he would have read it and ignored it.
‘Read it’.
However, if you are asking who it is, it may be because you feel that the information is plausible but the source is ambiguous.
I sent a reply right away.
[Be careful of Moon Yoo-seok. Of course you have to control your subordinates anyway, right? You too, trust Moon Yoo-seok 90%.]
There was no detailed explanation.
If Lee Hyun-seok decides to investigate Moon Yoo-seok, there are more loopholes in him than he thinks.
With just a few useful eyes, you could obtain information regarding his betrayal within a few days.
“I’m really tired.”
After replying, Kang-hoo threw his smartphone to the end of the bed and pulled the blanket up to his forehead.
Now all I wanted to do was sleep like I was dead.
The battle with Cha So-hee caused a lot of overload on her already sensitive body.
You need to sleep well.
“Oops.”
A thought suddenly crossed Kanghu’s mind, so he crawled back to where his smartphone was and turned on the music app.
【Father of Music】
【When you listen to classical music, your stamina recovery speed increases 5 times.】
“You must use the constellations to the fullest.”
It was because of the constellation that helped with recovery.
It wasn’t difficult to play a classic while taking a break.
Soon, a sweet melody wrapped around my ears, and a sweet rest began.
* * *
Same time.
Kang Dong-hyun was watching a video in his own space without being disturbed by anyone.
It was a video recovered from the body of the dead Cha So-hee.
The video was recorded on a tiny device attached to the front of the sports bra she was wearing.
The only footage secured at the scene was when Kang-hoo and Cha So-hee met on the train platform.
After that, the CCTV and circuits were all burned down by Cha So-hee’s fire attack, so there was nothing left.
Kang Dong-hyun always planted filming devices on items and accessories he gave to his henchmen.
It was a long history.
It was not a waste for his loyal hunting dogs to die.
It is an arrangement that reflects his will to use it to the end for information gathering, even if he loses.
Kang Dong-hyun watched the entire battle between Kang-hoo and Cha So-hee on the device without blinking an eye.
And the conclusion drawn at the end of the video was simple.
“Cha So-hee had no choice but to lose.”
Defeat was the expected outcome.
It was only a matter of time, Kang Dong-hyun thought, even if the fight had been long, Cha So-hee would have died.
This is because the repertoire of skills used by Kanghu was more diverse than expected.
Even the freedom of movement was very high and the skill composition was not limited to assassins.
“Is it possible for a Level 10 Hunter prisoner to change like this in less than a month after going out?”
Kang Dong-hyun took a deep breath on the cigarette in his mouth.
Because it was a strong cigarette, it felt like my lifespan was shortening every time I smoked it, but it had a charm that I couldn’t give up.
Kanghu’s growth was not normal. Super promising talent? Even such expressions are not enough to describe it.
Because it’s too fast.
Among hunters who distinguished themselves overseas, it was rare to experience such explosive growth.
And the hunters who grew up that way all became famous hunters.
A case like Casey Rex of the Fortuna Guild in the United States. It was also synonymous with elite courses.
“I can’t stand this.”
Cha So-hee’s death was enough to prove that Kang-hoo had great skills.
However, after watching the video myself, the desire to give up on Kang-hu rose again.
It is impossible to pass up a gemstone that can easily become a gem if it is cut well.
So this time I decided to change my strategy.
What if he had tried to use a strategy of releasing the hunting dog in front of him and persistently chasing after Kang-hu and driving him to a dead end?
Now I was thinking of taking a completely different approach.
When Kang Dong-hyun pressed a button, the person in the waiting room came into the office.
She was a very impressive woman with long navy colored hair and a red headband.
“Did you find it?”
“huh. “I think there’s one thing you need to do.”
“Tell me please. “I’m ready to do whatever you ask me to do.”
“Try to get close to this guy. Any relationship is fine, whether it’s a lover or a romantic relationship. “Stick closer.”
What Kang Dong-hyun showed her by turning the monitor was Kang-hoo’s face and information about him.
she asked, nodding.
“Is it love this time?”
“huh. Wouldn’t you be moved by a guy who looks like this? “He’s also good-looking.”
“I am definitely moved. “I don’t know if I’ll actually give you my heart.”
“doesn’t care. “Let’s go to the long game.”
Kang Dong-hyun puffed out the smoke from his cigarette and spread his arms out, shrugging his shoulders.
It was a leisurely gesture from a man who said he had plenty of time.
* * *
I slept for a full 12 hours.
When I opened my eyes, it was already 9 PM and night had already arrived.
It’s literally like a day has been deleted.
After checking out, Kang-hoo met Lee Ye-rin and organized all the items he got from Cha So-hee.
By selling all the items that could not be disposed of, a total income of 10.5 billion won was generated.
Balance 10.6 billion won.
It was a large amount of money that would not be a problem to buy a level 3 item right now.
As soon as the item transaction with Kang-hoo was completed, Lee Ye-rin presented the designated request form that had been sent to her.
Unlike regular request forms, it had a gold frame around it, and that alone made it feel like it was upgraded to the next level.
“It’s a designated request I mentioned earlier. “This is the second request from the client who entrusted us with the Gong Tae-soo case.”
“What is the client’s information?”
“Are you kidding me?”
Kang-hu, who had tried to make nonsense, nodded.
The lifeblood of a mercenary group is trust.
A mercenary group that carelessly discloses information about its clients can never be maintained.
Rather, they become targets of ostracism.
This means that they become public enemies of other mercenary groups.
So I couldn’t dig up any information about the client, even if it was better to keep my mouth shut and die.
The only case where this is possible is when the client himself/herself requests or permits disclosure of information about himself/herself.
“The basic compensation is 3.5 billion won. “The additional compensation is 1.5 billion won.”
“Lateus pyrite mining. “I believe it is a sleeping stone that can only be found in certain dungeons.”
“that’s right. The client meticulously attached location and map information. “That’s pretty good news.”
“well. “I think it’s bad news at the same time.”
Kang Hu checked the surrounding situation displayed on the map information and frowned.
The reasons for good news and bad news are the same.
The problem is that because I am so meticulous, there is information I don’t want to know.
‘It looks a little familiar for a moment.’
I looked through the contents in detail.
After looking at the location information, a natural connection to the original work emerged.
A memory came to mind.
‘If I remember correctly, this would be Imbalance Point?’
The place, also known as Imbalance Point or Unbalance Point, was close to the hyacinth mining site.
No, it is a space within the same dungeon.
The location is a little different, but you can get there quickly.
The reason it has such a name is because it is a place that gives experience points and special benefits to a degree that seems quite unbalanced.
It was also a place related to Jang Si-hwan’s career.
It was also a novel device that often appeared in the original work to constantly infuse him with growth power.
‘Minimum level 20. Depending on the level of imbalance accumulated in the points, it can rise by 30 degrees.’
The reward for the request was the reward, but a temptation that went beyond that appeared as if waiting for Kang-hu.
What’s more, if it’s a ‘chance’ that can hinder Jang Si-hwan’s growth.
I definitely had to be greedy.
It’s something you absolutely have to own. You definitely don’t want to miss it!
