[Skill: Dash Lv. 2]
Active skill.
Mana required to activate: 5
When this skill is activated, your movent speed will increase by 40%. During its activation, 1 Mana will be spent every minute.
My movent speed has increased.
The rate had climbed up from 30 to 40%.
The difference in 10% was huge. Well, the levelling up of the skill seed appropriate, since he used the Dash skill quite often.
[Skill: High-Grade Dagger Technique Lv. 1]
Passive skill.
Mana required to activate: None
Exclusive to daggers.
You used daggers for a long ti. And now, you are able to wield daggers more proficiently.
33% additional damage will be applied when using daggers.
Additional damage effect when using daggers!!
A dagger-specific skill had been created as the result of him continuously sticking to daggers, it seed.
I guess wielding other types of weapons will be inefficient for now, huh.
Of course, it also ant that the effect when using only the daggers would be even greater.
Besides, he was already well used to using daggers. He also had grown fond of the Poison Fang of Kasaka and wasnt planning to switch to another weapon any ti soon, so this was a huge boon for him.
And finally.
Jin-Woos eyes glead in great anticipation as he checked out the details of the last new skill that appeared.
[Skill: Vital Points Targetting Lv. 1]
Mana required to activate: 70
Youve learned the most optimum way to attack with your daggers. This skill will search for the enemys vital points and inflict fatal damage.
This skill was also exclusive to daggers.
The most optimum way to attack.
Now that he thought about it, the attack he used to land the final blow to Kahng Tae-Sik and on that last zombie felt roughly the similar to him.
Should he say he definitely felt it in his bones? The mont the dagger pierced through, he knew instinctively that the battle was over.
Ah, so that was aiming at the vital points, huh.
To think, sothing he did as an accident would beco an actual skill, and hed get to use it whenever he felt like it!
His heart was now beating like crazy.
To Jin-Woo, who had no other thod to attack other than to swing his dagger around this way and that, this attack skill Vital Points Targetting was like the sweet, sweet rain falling at the end of a long drought.
Very nice!
He levelled up and got new skills.
Itd only been the first day, yet things were going really smoothly already.
***
The second day.
[Level up!]
With the addition of an attack skill, the speed of hunting had increased rather noticeably.
Yu Jin-Hos eyes could only grow wider and wider as he watched countless monsters fall one after the other when Jin-Woo accurately attacked their weak points.
Hyung-nim has been hiding such a mad skill until now?!
Just how far did the set of hyung-nims mysterious skills extend to?
He couldnt help but admire Jin-Woo even more.
Seeing that he was able to easily defeat several rank C Hunters, hes definitely a rank B or higher..
He could only spectate from the sidelines, his jaw slack, since he couldnt guarantee his own fate if he unwisely tried to probe Jin-Woo for answers.
However, there was a distinct disadvantage associated with the increase in the hunting speed, as it turned out.
[You cant use your skills because of a lack of Mana.]
Jin-Woo frowned quite deeply.
Again??
In order to fill up his depleted MP, Jin-Woo summoned a vial of potion he bought from the Store right away.
What is that, hyung-nim?
Yu Jin-Ho expressed a great interest.
Being next to Jin-Woo ant that Yu Jin-Ho would get to experience many unbelievable things, of course. And now, he beca way too curious about the identity of the blue liquid Jin-Woo kept drinking every now and then.
What, this?
Jin-Woo delayed answering and read the information on the potion first.
[Item: MP Potion]
Rarity: E
Type: Consumable
A liquid dicine that will restore your Mana. Once consud, it will restore 500 points of MP. Can be stored in your Inventory, but it cant be handed over to soone else.
The explanation said that the potion couldnt be handed over to another person.
What will happen if I try to give it to soone else?
It was now Jin-Woos turn to beco curious. So, he handed the vial of the MP potion over to Yu Jin-Ho.
But, the potion bottle quietly disappeared from the view when placed in Yu Jin-Hos hand, just like when it appeared the first ti.
Is, is this magic, hyung-nim??
So, this is why it cant be handed over, huh.
He learned sothing new today.
An item that could not be handed over would disappear when touched by soone else. If so, what would happen when no hands were involved?
Jin-Woo accessed the Store and purchased a new potion.
However, it was not the sa MP potion that he bought all the ti, but a vial of HP potion containing reddish liquid.
As soon as he completed the transaction, the potion automatically appeared in Jin-Woos hand.
H-hyung-nim!! Thats amazing! The liquids colour changed to red!
Yu Jin-Ho was thinking that the MP potion disappearing and being replaced by an HP potion was so kind of a fancy magic trick.
Actually, there was a good reason why Jin-Woo changed the type of potion.
Lets find out if these potions have an effect on other people.
Jin-Woo told Yu Jin-Hos to lower his posture.
Open your mouth and look up.
L-like this, hyung-nim?
Alright. Stay in that position and dont move.
Jin-Woo tilted the vial of HP potion. The reddish liquid slid down Yu Jin-Hos mouth.
Gulp.
Suddenly, Yu Jin-Ho opened his eyes wider.
Uh? Whats going on, hyung-nim? Why do I feel reinvigorated again?
After playing the role of the luggage carrier for a long ti, Yu Jin-Ho had been looking rather fatigued, but now, his complexion improved in the blink of an eye.
Jin-Woo smiled in satisfaction.
So, giving it away in this manner works.
He got to learn sothing else just as good again.
He should be able to heal a nearby injured person, even if there were no Healers present. This would certainly help him out a good deal in the future, no doubt.
Just tell if youre feeling tired, okay? I can spare a ton of this drink, you see.
Of course, Jin-Woo wasnt doing this out of charity.
If the porter got too tired and his movent speed decreased, then that would an the overall hunting speed would decrease as well, so basically, hed be the one losing out in the end.
His actions were born out of such a chain of thoughts, but Yu Jin-Ho didnt know that.
H-hyung-nim.
Lets go.
Yu Jin-Ho beca very moved after being subjected to Jin-Woo caring about him. Not to ntion, he was awed by Jin-Woos amazing abilities too. Wiping away his tears, Yu Jin-Ho hurriedly chased after the departing back of Jin-Woo.
The third day.
Oh, right. Take this, hyung-nim.
Yu Jin-Ho rummaged through the equipnt bag and then, presented a bank balance book with a stamp sealed in together.V/\\IssT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n)./ for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
Whats this?
Its the money from selling the magic crystals we got during the last two days, hyung-nim.
Jin-Woo got slightly irritated by the fact that Yu Jin-Ho had forgotten this and only decided to give it to him inside a dungeon full of dangerous monsters, but that irritation disappeared almost right away.
600,000,000?! (TL: Around $535,500)
When he took a look at the amount written on the book, Jin-Woo found quite a substantial amount staring back at him.
Are you giving every cent from the sales of the magic crystals?
Yu Jin-Ho nodded his head.
Yes, hyung-nim. Im not doing these raids because I need the money, and besides, youve killed all of the monsters anyways. So, how can I ask you for a share like a shaless fool here?
Yu Jin-Hos eyes were sparkling like a little kid waiting to be praised.
Ohh, really Would you look at this kid now?
Jin-Woo sensed the change in Yu Jin-Hos attitude after they spent the last couple of days together.
Not too long ago, the feeling of the kid forcing himself to co even though he was sh*t-scared was pretty strong, but now, he was acting more like a little brother who couldnt stop worshipping a cool older brother or sothing.
Hes got a pretty adorable side to him, no?
Jin-Woo smirked.
Can I really have it, then?
Do I, the one and only Yu Jin-Ho, look like soone whod go back on his word, hyung-nim?
Jin-Woo smiled brightly and patted the bank balance book.
Okay, thanks. Im really grateful for this.
No, thank you instead, hyung-nim!!
Yu Jin-Ho bent his back 90 degrees right away.
This was one confusing sight where it was pretty difficult to tell just who was giving who money here.
At the sa ti, outside the dungeon.
The waiting teammates also had developed a routine of sorts to while away the ti.
As soon as the raid leader Yu Jin-Ho and his assistant (?) Seong Jin-Woo entered the Gate, the remaining Hunters gathered around, placed a couple of picnic clothes on the ground, and proceeded to do their own things.
The most popular activity, of course, was gambling.
Five people were sitting around in one group, gambling and chatting away.
How many raids did we participate in so far?
Lets see The day before, it was three. Yesterday, it was two, and this is the second dungeon today, so its seven in total so far.
Will it be fine for those two to keep clearing dungeons at this breakneck pace? I an, its normal to take a week off after clearing one dungeon, no?
Aigoo. Dont you worry about those two, now. Cant you see that they literally havent even broken a sweat every ti they co out of a Gate? Besides, we get 3 mil every raid, so its simply an excellent bit of news for us.
Oh, its your turn, my man. Hurry up and deal.
Ah, sure.
Indeed, both Jin-Woo and Yu Jin-Ho displayed not one hint of getting fatigued from keeping up with this seemingly-exhausting schedule.
Of course, these people had no idea, but such a feat was only possible thanks to the miraculous effects of the potions.
The duo got to clear over one-third of the planned 19 raids in such a short amount of ti precisely because of the potions.
A short while later, the Gates black-ish surface wavered unsteadily and two people erged from there.
Oh, the raid leader is out.
Okay, lets pack this up.
Hunters began getting ready to leave without being ordered to.
Hey, there. Take care of that luggage over there.
Wake that person up. Please make sure we arent forgetting anything here.
Hunters moved in perfect sync. Even the sleeping Hunter woke up and quickly finished getting ready to move to the new location.
Okay, lets get going!
Everyone was getting more or less used to this rather insane manner of clearing dungeons.
Inside the offices of the White Tiger Guild, located in the sa district.
The Chief of the 2nd Division, Ahn Sahng-Min, found himself shouting at the top of his voice early in the morning.
Mister Hyun!! What are you trying to do here?! Tomorrows the day for the new recruits to start training, yet how could you have failed to book a single Gate until now?! Answer , Mister Vice Chief!!
The Vice Chief Hyun Ki-Cheol lowered his head in embarrassnt.
M-My apologies, Chief. The thing is, there is a raid team that quickly bids for every Gate ranked C opening up in our jurisdiction.
What?! Well then, why dont you just get them back with higher bids? Does our Guild lack funds or personnel? Just whats the problem here?
I tried to do as you said, but..
Uh-huh!! How dare you answer back as if you did sothing nice??
From the thunderous roar of Ahn Sahng-Min, the entirety of the 2nd Division had fallen into silence.
It sure had been a long ti since Ahn Sahng-Min blew his top to this extent.
Just what kind of a place was the White Tiger Guild?
It was called one of the top five Guilds in South Korea. For that reason alone, every single employee working within its halls was, without exception, excellent individuals.
The Vice Chief Hyun Ki-Cheol too was a talented, sharp individual who perford his role well and admirably, having never committed a single error ever since he was hired by the Guild.
But to think, he failed to book a single Gate when the new recruits were supposed to begin their training soon!
This no doubt qualified as a big error.
The 2nd Division that Ahn Sahng-Min was in charge of did the roles of recruiting new Hunters and training them, while the First Division took care of managing the schedules of the Guilds main Hunters.
P-Please! Take a look at this first, Chief!
The near-tearful Hyun Ki-Cheol pushed forward a notebook PC to his superior officer.
What the hell?!
Ahn Sahng-Min was about to explode once more, only for his jaw to drop to the floor after checking out a certain number appearing on the notebooks screen.
T-Two hundred fifty million Won?!?! There is a crazy b*stard who spent 250 million Won on a single rank C Gate????
