Chapter 121
Kim Yoo-Na’s eyes widened .
“This……? Is this ‘that’ as well?”
“Yes . ”
Kim Yoo-Na agreed on Hyun-Soo’s plan to gain control through food .
It was possible because she worked with Hyun-Soo for a long ti .
Hyun-Soo also assud that Kim Yoo-Na sowhat had an idea about his skill .
‘There’s no way soone as quick-witted as Kim Yoo-Na wouldn’t know . ’
But she never asked him directly or hinted at it, so all he did was assu .
She was surprised by the tangerine that Hyun-Soo gave her .
She knew about his cooking skills since she ate his food before, so she wasn’t expecting this at all .
“So that’s why they acted that way . ”
She thought things were working out on their own because they reacted so passionately and didn’t know this was the reason .
“It’s not an ordinary tangerine . You did sothing to it, right? I’m assuming it’s related to what you wanted to tell . ”
“Yes, that’s right . Regarding the potions that are being sold at the black market, I’m thinking about making a more systematic approach . ”
“The potion that are being sold? Are you thinking about selling them through a different thod?”
“I’m still thinking about it, but it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead . ”
Getting the result you want right away was difficult .
That’s why it’s important to take one step at a ti even if it takes longer .
Then you’ll be able to reach your goal during the most important mont .
“What kind of plan is it?”
She was no longer focused on the tangerine .
She turned into a serious businesswoman .
“I’m planning on putting a grade on the potions . It would be divided into low rank and high rank potions . I’m thinking about making the low rank potions cheaper so that more people will purchase it . High-ranked hunters will most likely go for the high rank potions, so it wouldn’t bad to offer those to them . ”
“Are you thinking about making them limited editions?”
“Yeah, because all they have if money . And if it’s limited, it’ll make them want to buy it even more . They’re not interested in ordinary potions, so using that thod to sell potions to them wouldn’t be that bad . ”
“I agree . Selling ranked potions…not a bad idea . No, it’s actually great . ”
She mumbled while looking down at the tangerine that was in her hand .
“The world is changing, but the hunters are still in the sa spot . There are a lot of A rank hunters that are unable to overco the S rank barrier . Excluding those hunters, everyone else is changing . ”
Colorful portal .
An odd transformation that didn’t exist before .
Skilled hunters tried hunting it, but they ended up failing .
‘Evolution or selection . ’
What Kim Yoo-Na said was simple .
They didn’t know what kind of danger they were facing .
Will this evolution stop here or will it grow bigger that it’ll eventually get out of hand?
If they don’t change with that evolution, they’ll fall behind…
‘That’s us . ’
It wasn’t just the FE clan .
The FE clan and other groups .
The last would be mankind .
When the portal first appeared, it affected a large amount of the population .
Before hunters appeared, people predicted that the world was going to end .
But there was one reason why mankind and civilization didn’t die out .
Evolution .
And change .
In order to go against the mysterious portal, hunters were the result of the change .
And Kim Yoo-Na was talking about another evolution .
A change for evolution .
And the preparation stage for that change .
She was pointing that out .
“In that sense, I support your decision . I’m not saying it from the business aspect . As a human and a mber of the human race, I want to thank you for it too . ”
Kim Yoo-Na bowed .
‘The reason wasn’t even that grand . ’
An amazing task for the human race .
He didn’t have the ti to do that .
He didn’t have that kind of strength and wasn’t in the position to do sothing like that .
‘I don’t know what will happen in the future, but she’s thinking highly of when all I’m trying to do is survive . ’
All this ti, Hyun-Soo lived to survive .
He wanted to live a better life to be exact .
That’s why he was doing everything he could in order to make money .
A life where he could live happily without being pressured by others .
He thought it wasn’t a bad life since his family had been living a long, difficult life .
He endured all of that and ca this far .
‘But a comfortable life…we still have a long way to go . ’
Even the rich had their own problems .
But the people here were trying to get more and take away as much as they could .
It was a cold world because they didn’t care who got hurt during the process as long as they were okay .
It was probably the sa everywhere .
But seeing people unsatisfied with what they had and stepping on others to get more was an unpleasant sight .
That made Hyun-Soo look towards the top of the world .
There were other reasons, but that was one of the reasons .
‘And this plan will help reach that goal . ’
Out of all the hunters, there were only a few high-ranked hunters .
Most were low-ranked hunters .
Low-ranked hunters usually make a big deal before entering a portal .
Was there really a need to give them potions?
‘I’m not working for charity . ’
It was like planting seeds into a field .
It was hard to say which of those seeds will grow, but among the few that does grow a lot, they’ll provide a nice shade for Hyun-Soo .
‘Many a little, makes a mickle . ’
He was forced to include the low-ranked hunters .
It was also because he was reminded of the ti he was a low-ranked hunter .
He wasn’t like Kim Yoo-Na who was a leader of a large group, but he wanted to assist the low-ranked hunters a bit .
There was a reason why having a lot of people was beneficial .
The more people a group has, the more power they have .
If Hyun-Soo’s potion helped them, then that optimistic mindset will help them soday .
It didn’t matter if they had limited strategies against the high-ranked hunters .
But it was better to kill two birds with one stone .
“If things work out according to your plan, then the potions will aid them . When a hunter grows, the chance of them changing increases as well . It’ll increase the hunters’ overall level . ”
“Yeah . I’m not sure how much it’ll affect them, but it’s better than nothing . ”
If a hunter’s level increases even just a little bit, it’ll make the hunt a lot easier .
Then they’ll be able to earn more experience .
Like Kim Yoo-Na ntioned, it can increase a hunter’s overall level .
‘But this is just an extrely optimistic assumption, of course . ’
Wouldn’t it be nice if things went the way he wanted?
Problems and changes that Hyun-Soo never expected could occur .
Kim Yoo-Na also knew .
But despite of Hyun-Soo’s decision, she displayed a happy, beautiful smile .
“I’ll fully support your decision . Profit is important, but that doesn’t an profit makes up for everything . ”
“Well, I don’t think we have to worry about profit since we have the low-ranked hunters . We can get profit elsewhere . How’s that tangerine?”
“This tangerine?”
She looked down at the tangerine that was in her hand .
“It’s a bit different from the food you made before . The hunters’ reacted really well while eating the food . ”
“It was good, right?”
“Yeah . I have never eaten a tangerine as sweet as this one . ”
She ate a variety of fruits other than the tangerine and among them, she’s never eaten a tangerine that was this sweet and had this much sugar .
“Can you check your energy?”
“Excuse ? The energy in my body? Why should…!”
After Hyun-Soo asked, Kim Yoo-Na started concentrating and stopped talking .
She then opened her eyes .
She couldn’t talk because she was so surprised and just blinked while looking at Hyun-Soo .
‘It’s obvious she’s reacting that way since the tangerine was filled with energy . ’
Hyun-Soo didn’t say anything and just thought Kim Yoo-Na looked cute .
‘Let’s see . ’
He activated Interface and saw that her total energy increased .
It was a small percentage, but she was lucky .
‘Things will work out easier than I thought . ’
“Hyun-Soo? How did…this happen?”
Energy moved inside her body and she was able to feel a larger amount of energy moving within her .
It was a small amount, but as she carefully checked herself, she was able to notice the small change within her .
She was able to easily find out the reason .
The tangerine in her hand .
It was so sweet that she couldn’t stop herself from putting the whole thing in her mouth . It was the sa tangerine that Hyun-Soo gave her .
Full of surprises .
That’s what Kim Yoo-Na thought every ti she saw Hyun-Soo .
Hyun-Soo always thought ahead of Kim Yoo-Na .
When she believed that she figured sothing out, he offered sothing more and surprised her .
‘Was that why?’
It felt like whenever they got close, they grow apart and when she gets the courage to take a step forward, he becos far away .
Shake, shake .
Kim Yoo-Na shook her head and threw away her thoughts .
Now wasn’t the ti to think about things like that .
“What do you think?”
He already knew the answer, but still wanted to ask .
“There will…definitely be a war . ”
Hyun-Soo’s potion alone was enough to create chaos .
But a potion that will increase the energy’s max limit?
Any hunter that desired power would want it .
A potion that increases one’s stats or recovers one’s stamina couldn’t be bought .
But there’s a potion that increases the energy’s max limit?
Hunters that aren’t able to overco the S rank wall will desperately want it .
Those that are thirsty will do whatever they can to quench that thirst .
Even if it ant that they had to cut their skin open and drink the blood .
Hyun-Soo noticed her worried expression .
‘……I’m a pretty lucky guy . ’
Hyun-Soo already knew how people were going to react once they release this .
He expected bad reactions as well .
There was going to be a lot of people that wanted it .
Kim Yoo-Na was a hunter too .
It’s possible that she would want one too .
She could’ve asked what Hyun-Soo did to the tangerine .
But her face wasn’t filled with greed, desire or curiosity . She was just worried about Hyun-Soo .
