The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 80

Episode 80: Trip to Yeosu (2)

* * *

There were several mischievous inspections.

There were also cases where people were asked to pay a toll even though they were trying to pass through an empty alley.

They even set up metal detectors all over their bodies for the ridiculous reason that they had to prevent terrorists.

In the first place, it is impossible not to get caught in metal detection even if you are holding only a dagger.

Jagang’s hunter found fault with this and complained, asking why metal was detected.

But the funny thing is, after being so exhausted for so long, it’s not that big of a deal, so let’s pass! The point is to issue a disposition.

Only then did Kang-hoo realize that the structure of this place was not truly about checking and searching for safety and security.

I found out that everyone smokes coleslaw just to earn pocket money. So we changed our response.

After withdrawing a generous 50,000 won bill from a nearby ATM machine.

They made a bundle of 1 million won and 2 million won each and handed it out to the hunters who blocked their way.

Instead, conditions were imposed.

“I’ll only give it to the guy who treats me with the most respect. There’s only one person. “I don’t pick multiple people.”

The air has changed since then.

Things like check-and-search have disappeared into the other world.

They raced to open a path, clear away obstacles, and suddenly get some ice water to serve to Ganghu.

Is this what capitalism tastes like?

Kang-hu was able to go inside, having fun spending money.

It was clearly a warlord that tightly controlled the Yeosu area, so the flag of self-strength was waving wherever he went.

Although it cannot be said to be large compared to the abyss led by Lee Hyun-seok.

There was enough to be titled a local warlord.

A force of this magnitude would probably have quite a bit of collusion with local commercial circles and the Hunter Police Office.

So, there is no need to be afraid and the things below will run wild. It was a picture without anything strange.

Contrary to expectations that it would be difficult to meet the captain, the meeting with Kim Ja-ho took place quickly.

When Kang-hoo inquired with the relevant person, it seemed like they guaranteed a minimum amount of 1 billion won in addition to the dungeon rental.

It wouldn’t be common for an outside hunter to come down to Yeosu and rent a dungeon license… so

I thought there might be something I came across out of curiosity.

Anyway, I was able to meet Kim Ja-ho right away.

His office was filled with stuffed heads of wild animals.

It was scary to see them all face death with their eyes wide open and stuffed.

It was different from the hunters in the Seoul area who organize their offices in a neat and tidy manner.

It was broad daylight, the sun had just risen in the sky, but Kim Ja-ho spoke to me while taking a sip of the vodka he had filled in his glass.

“It’s not common for outsiders to come, but they come out of nowhere and want to attack our self-made dungeon?”

“There are some dungeons I’ve been interested in for a while.”

“I heard in advance what kind of dungeon it was. “There’s nothing special about that dungeon?”

“What can I say? Persimmon? “I have a feeling that some good items will come out this time?”

“hey.”

“hmm?”

“Are you a drug addict?”

Although the story suddenly jumped out at me, the response was well within the expected range.

Han Seung-hyuk was like that in the past.

It’s strange that Ganghu thinks something special about a dungeon he’s already conquered dozens or hundreds of times.

I would be surprised if the number of attacks was low or if there really was something there.

Since it was an ordinary dungeon with no such thing, there was no way I could understand the sudden interest.

Moreover, the 1 billion won offered as license rental fee is not a small amount of money.

“Can’t I just say I’m a hunter who likes adventure?”

“I won’t stop you if you come to our dungeon and spend money on our organization. “Isn’t it so strange?”

“That’s just the way the world is.”

“This bastard. “You really are a drug addict.”

Kim Ja-ho clicked his tongue.

In particular, there were many stimulants imported from China in the Yeosu area.

Even if they were not drugs, there was an abundance of stimulants that had effects similar to drugs.

That’s how Kim Ja-ho understood Kang-hu’s ridiculous curiosity. Then I thought I would understand.

Anyway, from Jagang’s perspective, he made money through the licensing business, so he had nothing to lose.

Kanghu asked.

“call?”

“good. There is no problem with renting a license. But we have never opened the dungeon on our own to outsiders.”

“Accompanying?”

“More like a watchdog, to be exact. “I’m not going to help you.”

“Are you saying you can’t see other people eating good food?”

“Hehe. “Listen to the end.”

Kanghu crossed his arms and waited for him to continue speaking.

I don’t know if it was improvised or if it was a manual I originally had, but it seems like they have their own way of renting it.

As Kang-hoo looked at him with a displeased expression, Kim Ja-ho took another drink of vodka and continued speaking.

“The dungeon license fee is only 100 million won. Instead, we keep all the loot in the middle.”

“and?”

“Middle boss and main boss drop items are not claimed. Instead, we keep everything else.”

“It seems like they think that’s enough to raise 1 billion won.”

“Shall I be honest?”

“There’s nothing else to lie about.”

“If we happen to die during the attack, all the items you have will be ours.”

“…It’s amazing.”

Kanghu burst into laughter.

After thinking about it carefully, Kim Ja-ho’s idea was quite plausible.

That is correct.

If Ganghu loses his life during the attack, the item he was wearing naturally becomes Jagang’s property.

There is no need for anyone to come and claim ownership, and it is not something that can be found that way.

“how is it?”

“Well, it’s true that I have work to do with boss monsters. “Let’s do that.”

There was no loss.

Because I came to this dungeon from the beginning with the purpose of adding skills.

Moreover, he said that he would not touch the most important middle boss and main boss rewards.

“I’ll kindly pass on the dungeon-related information. Instead, you must do a level scan.”

“However much.”

When Kang-hoo nodded, Kim Ja-ho scanned Kang-hu’s body using the scanning device he had brought out.

The level scan process usually takes about a minute, so there was an awkward silence for a moment.

And after some time.

Kim Ja-ho was surprised when he checked Kang-hoo’s level on the scanning device.

“hey. Are you going to enter the dungeon at this level? Then this is the entrance cut. “If you don’t want to die, you can endure it, right?”

“You even worry about my life. Are you so kind? “Then shall we just pretend it never happened?”

“All the monster levels here are 200. “It must be really difficult at a level less than 100, right?”

“Let’s see if it’s difficult or not after we go in. Even if I die anyway, I won’t die and you won’t die, right?”

“That’s my foolishness. okay. Then I’ll give you someone to guide you. Keep this in mind. “He won’t help you even if you’re on the brink of death.”

“Tell them not to sprinkle ashes on the finished rice.”

Ganghu answered bluntly.

Kim Ja-ho’s tone and reactions were a little annoying, but in the end, he was quite cooperative.

Since he was a local warlord, I thought there might be some tight corners, but the conversation went well.

As the dungeon was also on standby for attack, I was able to prepare to enter right away without waiting.

It’s a good start.

* * *

It was 15 minutes later that Ganghu entered the dungeon with the ‘Watcher’.

He was a hunter who looked quite young, but no matter how high you put it, he didn’t look like he was older than 20.

A full statement was immediately made and it was revealed that the watcher’s name was Baek Seon-tae. Of course it must be a pseudonym.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, Baek Seon-tae folded his arms and watched the progress of Kang-hoo’s attack.

Since there was absolutely no reason to add strength, I didn’t even think about taking out my weapon.

However, Baek Seon-tae was watching Kang-hoo’s movements with interest because he was in the same profession as himself.

How much did you observe Ganghu?

By the time Kang-hoo had clearly finished warming up, gently suppressing the monster from the beginning.

Baek Seon-tae spoke quietly to Kang-hu.

It was a section where monsters stopped appearing, so an environment was created where people could talk naturally.

“It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen a nice assassin. He has good posture and doesn’t seem to have any gaps. “Isn’t it fascinating?”

“It’s hard to see an assassin.”

“To be precise, it is difficult to find a skilled assassin. “Everyone is just a bunch of guys who try to be cool and then fall off.”

Baek Seon-tae’s words conveyed both pride in his job and contempt for other assassins who were not up to his level.

In fact, Kang Hu’s thoughts were similar.

When it comes to the profession of assassin, there are a lot of guys who work hard to catch shit, something I’ve seen before.

Those guys have a short life expectancy.

Assassins are one of the most sensitive occupations among many hunter occupations.

This is because assassins are always ranked at the top of the list of occupations where one can easily lose their life due to a single mistake.

If your aim fails.

Assassins who are bound to be closest to their target become the most delicious prey.

The saying ‘high risk, high return’ is not used for nothing. The risk is really high.

Baek Seon-tae continued.

“Is there a reason why you have to designate a dungeon like this? “While giving up most of the compensation.”

“I guess it’s a sense of adventure. It feels like leaving in search of irregularities in an uncertain world. “Something like that.”

Even though Kang-hu said everything that came to mind, he turned his head slightly and laughed, as if he was dumbfounded.

The reason is clear.

I came here because I can learn skills using the skill book trick.

However, I don’t want to reveal my secret to someone I’m meeting for the first time, so I’m just saying bullshit.

“Anyway, it’s a good sight to behold. “I can’t believe Seongyu’s level right now.”

Baek Seon-tae did not hide his true feelings.

His level was 250.

Compared to Kanghu’s level, he was 2.5 times more skilled.

However, he felt a near-perfect perfection in Kang-hu’s movements throughout the battle.

Clean and concise.

Although it didn’t seem like he was overdoing anything, all his movements were sharp.

And it wasn’t sloppy either.

Any hunter will know how difficult it is for this list of modifiers to coexist.

If you combine those words into one lump, only one word comes out.

perfect.

The perfection of Kang-hoo’s movements was just like that.

Meanwhile, apart from Baek Seon-tae’s praise.

Ganghu was thinking of a way to use the current battle as training.

‘We need to be able to avoid it much more narrowly than now. To create the timing I want.’

From a rudimentary perspective, it is best to definitely avoid it from the beginning.

This is because the probability of falling into danger can be greatly reduced from the moment you start.

But in reality, things don’t go so smoothly.

Looking at the response to evade in advance, a seasoned hunter will look at the evasion process and make the next response.

Since the opponent is in a situation where he will play his hand in advance, it becomes easier to take advantage of the target.

This is because it is natural for an experienced hunter to prepare for one or two moves ahead.

‘The longer you avoid it as late as possible, the more you can waste both time and attack power.’

Making it difficult for the opponent to make the next move by delaying the dodge period as far back as possible.

That was the next step in Kanghu’s growth.
