The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 76
Episode 76: Crisis is an opportunity (1)
Park Sang-oh.
He is a boxer-style swordsman who was named Hunter in the original as a former wandering mercenary.
The reason Kang-hoo was able to recognize Park Sang-oh was because he worked hard on him at the last minute, including adding illustrations himself when serializing the original work.
Since the face was exactly the same as in the illustration, there was no reason to think of anyone else.
Sang-Oh Park was not a domestic hunter but a hunter who mainly worked in Japan.
He also did not like the Jeonghwa Guild, so he rejected the recruitment offer and went to Japan.
‘Anyway, if things go like the original, there’s no need to die now. It’s a lottery that you will definitely win.’
I found a way to make money in an unexpected place.
Meeting Emilia and coming to Hongcheon Liberation Zone felt like a turning point in many ways.
Originally I was planning on just passing by, but I couldn’t avoid watching the death match like this.
In a death match, there is only one piece of information that is officially disclosed to bettors.
Level information of the hunter participating in the match.
Because it is authenticated through level scanning, the information is not distorted.
Other than that, hunters who mainly look for these death matches sell information privately.
Trustworthiness varies greatly from person to person, so there were cases where fake information was sold and other times it was true.
In the end, the key is how sensibly the hunter purchasing the information is.
Naturally, there was a named person among the information sellers, so that person’s information was sold at a high price.
I usually do not purchase information from sellers who I am seeing for the first time or who have no past purchase history.
‘Park Sang-oh is the lowest level.’
Looking at the information displayed on the electronic board, Park Sang-oh’s level was more than 50 lower than the other participants.
In these matches, the high or low level is absolute.
This is because there is a difference in stats and skills.
Looking at the situation, it seemed like it was before Park Sang-oh started living this life in earnest.
This is because while Park Sang-oh is active in Korea, he visits death matches and makes quite a lot of money.
However, even when listening to information mentioned by information sellers, there was almost no information about Park Sang-oh.
This means that they are unfamiliar participants even to sellers. You can’t sell information that doesn’t exist.
The indoor broadcast began.
– Today’s main event, a death match, will soon be held in a special stadium.
Under Kenax’s management, death match has become a sport that boasts a 0% accident rate to date.
The administration of all stake commissions and dividend distribution is subject to the official approval of the Hunter Constabulary.
Bet with confidence. The dream of making a fortune is not as far away as you think.
Now, each matchup and odds will be revealed. Please pay attention!
As soon as the broadcast ended, each matchup and real-time odds were immediately displayed on the electronic display board.
[Jeon Guk-seon 1.2 vs. Park Sang-oh 3.0]
“Wow! A great matchup has emerged! Shut up, isn’t that match a national contest? “You’re feeling really good lately?”
“That guy from the national line! “In the last match, didn’t even a guy who was level 35 higher replay it?”
“It’s not just that he’s crazy, he’s completely crazy. “You’re a bastard who only looks for death matches!”
What caught the hunters’ attention was the matchup between Park Sang-oh and another hunter.
The dividends varied sharply, as if reflecting the expected win rate. Naturally, everyone’s interest was the dividend value of the national election.
“This is the 20% that we eat without fail, so how can we give this up?”
“It would be foolish to give up on a matchup in which 20% interest is guaranteed within 30 minutes.”
“Hey, let’s ask before the dividends fall further. “This is a matchup you can’t resist.”
“But who is Park Sang-oh?”
“What do you know? “I guess he’s just an idiot who can’t die.”
“The level is also 50 degrees lower than the national level. “Are you just here to die?”
“Isn’t this a risk of losing a lot of money trying to sell the Kenax guys? “I guess I need to pay dividends quickly?”
Hunters raced to head to the betting table set up in front of the special stadium.
This was because, as announced on the floor, there was an approval process from the Hunter Public Security Agency, so some waiting time was needed.
Since the safety of the money bet was guaranteed, everyone was able to bet a large amount of money without any burden.
‘This is what it feels like to bet money knowing the future.’
Kang Hu laughed to himself.
Of course, there is a very low probability that the future he calculated may change and Park Sang-oh may die.
The content of the original work becomes distorted.
I guess it didn’t matter.
I didn’t think it would be a big waste if I had to pay 6 billion won for tuition for that kind of enlightenment.
All you have to do is not repeat the same mistake again. Money is enough as long as you work hard to earn it.
Kang-hoo, who went to the betting table, made a completely different choice than the hunters around him.
“I’ll bet 6 billion on Park Sang-oh. “Please tell me the dedicated account.”
“to? “There’s a friend over there who is throwing money away.”
When Kang-hoo bet money on Park Sang-oh, the hunters looked at Kang-hoo with sad expressions.
The recent momentum is not good, so you ignore the national election that is skyrocketing and bet on the opposition.
I understand the desire to make a quick buck, but you can’t be this reckless.
However, Kang Hu did not care and silently bet more than 90% of his entire fortune on Park Sang-oh.
“National line! hurry! Hey, save your money and spend it somewhere! Just ask! “If you ask, you will definitely get 20%!”
“Why are you betting on Park Sang-oh? Do you have any money left? Quick, just don’t ask! hurry!”
Hunters became more urgent as the dividends in national races continued to fall due to excessive betting.
There were a few hunters who stabbed Park Sang-oh upside down just in case.
Even so, their biggest distribution was to wager a few million won, or at most 10 million won.
Meanwhile, Kang-hoo bet 6 billion won on Park Sang-oh… so everyone couldn’t help but regret it.
“Heh.”
But Kang-hu, who had no other thoughts in mind, just folded his arms and waited for the death match to begin.
* * *
An hour later.
“Wow… that guy, then 6 billion to 18 billion. “Did you add it all the way up to 36 billion?”
“Did you bet on Park Sang-oh twice in a row?”
“Uh… it’s not just a few hundred million, it’s 6 billion to 18 billion.”
“All in twice?”
“yes. I don’t know if the money is overflowing or if there is some sense of the future. “It’s really crazy.”
“Hey, what on earth did you trust and bet everything on Park Sang-oh? Is Park Sang-oh a relative? What happened?”
“Trade secret. Good luck everyone.”
Kang-hoo left the scene after checking the amount settled in his bank account.
The balance reached 36.6 billion won.
Today’s death match ended like this, and Park Sang-oh significantly raised his stock price with two consecutive wins.
There will probably never be a case in the future where Park Sang-oh gets 3 or 2 dividends like he did today.
Rather, there is a high possibility that it will go with a bitterly low dividend, as was the case in the national election.
This is because, while living as a wandering mercenary, you will be on your way to victory in death matches.
Although it was a one-time thing.
Anyway, I made a lot of money right away. It was the easiest unearned income I’ve ever earned.
Earning free money is the most fun when you earn it occasionally.
Spend 10 billion won.
A place where you can make 30 billion won in an instant. Ganghu’s steps were lighter than ever.
* * *
As we entered Hongcheon Haebang-gu’s famous food alley, a variety of foods greeted Ganghu.
Kang-hu ordered a lot of tteokbokki and sundae, one of his favorite combinations, and was just about to lift his chopsticks.
A phone call came in.
It was Lee Ye-rin.
“Yes, Yerin.”
– Is it okay to talk?
“It was okay, so I took it.”
– You asked me to find information about a hunter named Park Min-seong, right? Hunter Park Min-seong went missing in Korea.
“that’s right.”
– I feel like I found my family. But the personal information is a bit unusual. This is information that is different from what I expected.
“How is it?”
– I was adopted to England when I was young. So now both my parents are British.
“Isn’t adoption itself an issue with nothing special?”
– However, both of my parents are well-known hunters in England. It was reported missing in the UK.
“So you’re saying he came to the country without his parents’ knowledge and then disappeared?”
– Under the circumstances, yes.
“I would like it if you could send me information about my parents and put me in contact with them. So that even the body can be found quickly.”
– all right. I’ll contact you right away.
“We will cover the fees generously.”
– I told you this before. This time, it’s completely out of my favor. That’s Okay. Anyway, hang up!
That’s how the call ended.
At first, I was planning to come to Ground Zero and find the family of the hunter who lost his life in vain.
I had no idea that the paintings derived from there would spread all the way to England and even to The Named Hunter.
Will the unconditional goodwill return in return?
Fortunately, thanks to the special environment of Ground Zero, the corpses would decompose slower than expected.
Still, I wanted my parents to come as quickly as possible.
at that time.
Coogung! Coogung! Coogung!
A vibration was felt that shook not only the plastic chair Kanghu was sitting on but also all the surrounding structures.
It was not a vibration that came from a small collision, but a force that could be felt when there was a fairly large explosion.
“what?”
“Where did something explode?”
Since Kang-hu wasn’t the only one who felt the vibration, everyone stood up.
This is because hunters know several incidents and accidents that could be related to this situation.
That moment.
Kwagwagwagwa!
As a chain of explosions occurred, a huge explosion occurred and shock waves hit everything around.
The shock wave was strong enough that if Ganghu hadn’t instinctively deployed a protective barrier, he would have been helplessly caught up in it.
‘It’s a dungeon explosion.’
Although Kang-hu did not see the scene directly, he realized the strength and pattern of the shock wave and immediately grasped the situation.
Dungeon explosion.
The causes are varied, but it usually refers to a phenomenon that occurs when a dungeon has not been conquered for a long period of time.
To put it simply:
An example would be a situation where a pot is placed over high heat, the lid is tightly closed, and the stew overflows.
You must clear dungeons periodically to relieve internal energy.
Otherwise, the energy packed inside would start to flow out, and that phenomenon would be a dungeon explosion.
Usually, dungeons are one-way, not two-way, so monsters inside can never come out.
However, when an explosion occurs, the structure changes in both directions, causing monsters to appear.
Dungeons under the management of the Hunter Security Agency are systematically monitored, so such incidents rarely occur.
However, dungeons outside the sphere of influence ultimately fall under the jurisdiction of the force that owns the dungeon.
Unfortunately, there appears to have been a loophole in the dungeon management of Kenax, the management organization of the Hongcheon Liberation Zone.
‘It’s hell for a trainee. But it’s an opportunity for me, right?’
Kang-hoo, who had successfully withstood one shock wave, held his breath and prepared to move to the epicenter of the explosion.
For Kenax, which has an obligation to take care of the problem, the risk of losing power is high.
For Kang-hu, a guest of Hongcheon Liberation Zone, all the monsters that would run rampant were experience points.
Monsters that come into the world with a lot of dungeon energy are bound to receive much better rewards than regular monsters.
Just like the monster I faced in the Limitless Mana Dungeon before.
The crisis was an opportunity.
