Chapter 954 – 954. Rainbow Fruit
I followed Kang Oh-jeok and entered the tent with the sign for the temporary waiting room. Besides me, 7 other Hunters were sitting in their seats. One of them, there was a hunter who caught my eye.
“Long time no see.”
He was a man wearing a black coat even though summer was coming to an end. He had distinct features and was the youngest among the other 7 Hunters.
Seoksu Kang.
He is a famous young genius wizard in Korea.
I met and competed in a dungeon survival about two years ago.
I usually don’t remember a man’s name or what he looks like. Even if I remember it, I tend to forget it if I am not particularly impressed. The reason why I didn’t forget Kang Seok-soo is because he often goes up and down on TV or the Internet, and his girlfriend was delicious.
‘No. I wasn’t your girlfriend back then. Although it was a childhood friend. My name is Yoo Jung-mi. Definitely remember It’s not here.’
I sat next to Kang Seok-soo. There was only one seat there.
“It’s been a while. What have you been doing?”
“What has Hunter been doing? Of course, he spent his days carrying out the association’s requests and raiding dungeons. You….”
“I have been similar.”
“No, I contacted you from time to time, but you completely ignored me. What was the reason for blocking the reception? I don’t think I did anything wrong to you?”
Kang Seok-soo’s voice was cold. The eyes looking at me were not good either. I was about to hit one, but I held back.
“You bothered me. I have a habit of blocking him from receiving calls when a guy bothers me. I’m sorry, so I’ll unblock you.”
Stop blocking again later.
“Her.”
Kang Seok-su laughed and shook his head.
Kang Oh-jeok reappeared in the waiting room. He started briefing on the B-class dungeon.
“There is no information about this Class B closed dungeon. It’s not that we didn’t scout, we didn’t scout. I think you all know why.”
Attack without information.
It meant attacking from zero, with nothing at all. I thought it was because it was for the purpose of gaining experience.
“Of course, if you think it is dangerous, you can escape right away. No one is to blame for failing. The most important thing is your life.”
He handed us a ball of red thread.
Thread of origin.
An item that allows an emergency escape from a closed dungeon.
“My briefing is about you guys, not dungeons. You have to cooperate with each other, but you don’t have information about each other.”
He explained information about me and the other Hunters. I barely got past the boring briefing. Among the hunters, there were two women, but they weren’t beautiful enough to catch my attention.
“The briefing ends here. If there are no problems, we will start clearing the dungeon in an hour.”
Hunters started talking. Positions are determined based on ability and tactics are determined. At the center was Kang Seok-soo.
The meeting went smoothly and ended in 20 minutes. I spent the rest of my time fiddling with my smartphone.
‘Han Harin… There is no answer. Have you already entered the A-class dungeon?’
Seoksu Kang came to my side. He placed a can of coffee in front of me.
“What I said before. Have you thought about it?”
“What did you say before?”
I narrowed my eyebrows. Try rolling her head. There were no memories that came to mind. Seoksu Kang sighed.
“I mean the guild. Didn’t I suggest that we make a guild together?”
“Ah, it was. Haven’t you made it yet?”
“I am not a Class A Hunter yet. However, the performance was also almost filled. Maybe next month, or the month after that, he will take the promotion test.”
“Five. Congratulation. You’ll become an A-class hunter faster than me.”
It wasn’t surprising. Seoksu Kang has been treated as a genius since he was little, and he is two years older than me.
“A proposal from that time. It is still in effect.”
“Why me?”
“Your value in Korea is more than you think. Your value has increased since you rejected the invitation to join the Sacral Guild a while ago.”
“How else did you know that? Did you even investigate my background?”
Kang Seok-soo laughed.
“Research? Korea is narrow. Even if you stay still, information rolls in.”
Even if you’re really still, information doesn’t come rolling. It seems that there is a separate information system.
“I rejected the Sacral Guild, do you think I will join your guild? It’s not like the Sacral Guild can support me. There are no guilds yet. To be honest, I can only see your words on a multi-level level.”
Kang Seok-soo’s face was calm even though the words crossed the line somewhat.
“I understand. There is nothing compared to a giant guild. We know that creating a guild is not just about aspirations.”
He picked up his smartphone and showed it to me. It contained information about the guild.
“What.”
“As soon as I get promoted to Class A, I will create a guild. Prepared for him The plan was set two years ago, and now it is almost complete.”
“Seven tier?”
“It is the name of the guild. It’s a name I chose carefully. Isn’t it wonderful?”
“No. I have no idea.”
I ignored Kang Seok-soo, who was proud of him, and checked the guild’s information.
It was different from the usual guild.
Seven tier guilds are run by 7 guild masters. It was not unusual for multiple guild masters to run guilds at the same time. In fact, there are many guilds run by two guild masters together.
But 7 was too many.
“Seven guild masters. Can you do this? There are too many. It is not for nothing that there is a saying that if there are many boatmen, the boat will go to the mountains.”
“There is only one representative. Every two years, the Masters decide a representative through a meeting and voting. Originally, I didn’t mean to do this either, but…. Look at the master information.”
The five masters were already decided. One of them, of course, was Kang Seok-soo.
When I saw the names of the five people, I was stunned. All the promising players who had already made a name for themselves in Korea belonged to it. Two of them are women. Both of them were beauties, and they were celebrities with excellent skills as hunters.
“… Did you even manage to scout?”
“I was dissatisfied with the existing 10 guilds. The territorial attitude of the 10th guild in Korea must be so severe. Well, even so, persuasion wasn’t normal.”
“There are even companies that support it.”
“I don’t like it, but I couldn’t help it. Because you need capital to grow fast. However, the sponsoring company will not have any influence on the inside of the guild.”
I read all the information about the guild. To evaluate it, even if it was created right away, it would not have been inferior. If it grows properly, there is a good chance that it will take away the position of the 10th guild.
“… Isn’t there any reason to take me with you?”
“The goal of the Seven Tier Guild is to become the best guild in Korea. Only then can the existing 10 guilds be changed.”
Best guild.
To get there, one condition must be met.
“… S-class hunter.”
“Right. S-class hunters must exist to take over the top guild position. And I’m predicting that you will become an S-class Hunter in the future. Of course, I will also become an S-class Hunter.”
Kang Seok-soo said frantically. There was no possibility at all, so I didn’t risk anything else.
I knew what the conditions for becoming a Seven Tier Guild Master were. All of them were excellent prospects, people who were said to be S-class hunters in the future.
“…… You are sincere.”
“I have never been sincere. Seong Yujin. I know that since I’ve been a hunter without a guild, I’m starting to run out of strength starting from B rank. It’s true that it’s hard to find a C-class dungeon or higher without the help of a guild right now. Most of all, you will desperately need a reliable colleague.”
He’s right.
There were several moments of crisis while attacking the C-class dungeon. Crises that wouldn’t have been a big deal if you had a reliable colleague.
So, I try to enter the dungeon as easily and safely as possible.
“Sung Yujin. Come join us. We can change the world. No, I will change.”
Kang Seok-soo held out his hand to me. I looked away pretending not to see his hand. I looked over the Seven Tier Guild’s information once again.
“… Give me time to think.”
Seoksu Kang laughed and lowered his hand. It seemed that he was satisfied with not immediately rejecting it.
“I cannot wait long. There are 2 seats left in the 7th tier.”
“It doesn’t have to be seven digits.”
“The seat of the Master is set to seven. This will never change in the future. Above all, isn’t Eightier a bit strange?”
“It is strange.”
•••
In charge of the vanguard, I entered the dungeon first.
For an instant, I felt my vision go round and round. And after that, I felt a sense of alienation.
‘… Is it different from usual? It feels like the dungeon itself has been shaken….’
I have entered the dungeon hundreds of times. There was no way I could mistake that familiar sensation. This dungeon is heterogeneous.
Woo woo woo woo.
A cool wind blew. When I raised my head, I saw a gloomy sky. I looked around with blank eyes. I was alone in the field. There was no one around. Originally, another party member had to appear within 3 seconds.
‘Should we disperse and attack? That’s the worst. If they split up, they decided to meet in the west, right? Where is the west side?’
〈Find the Rainbow Fruit.〉
The dungeon informed the attack conditions. It was a fruit with a name I had never heard of.
〈You are a farmer.〉
〈 Farmers not doing more than 3 hours a day will get weak.〉
A pitchfork and a straw hat appeared in front of him.
‘I’ll turn. What is this?’
I scratched my cheek. Closed dungeons are a bit bizarre, but I had never heard of such a dungeon.
‘Should I say it’s a new type of closed dungeon?’
It was embarrassing, but it was possible. There is also a dungeon that trains hunters like ‘Repentance of Heroes’.
First, he put on a straw hat and held a pitchfork.
‘You want to work in the field? That’s fucking.’
I needed to find out if the trick worked or not. Just because you don’t work in the field doesn’t mean you’ll die.
‘I have full recovery and heavenly spirit. Status abnormalities are nothing.’
I turned my head and looked west.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So, the direction in which the sun sets is west.
‘If this isn’t a dungeon, it must be west. Well, even if it’s not west, it’s meaningless since other people will assume that the sun sets as west.’
I threw down the pitchfork and walked towards the setting sun.
“Oh, you bastard!!”
I heard the voice of an old woman behind me. Turned her back An old woman in her sixties was running furiously at me. Most of her hair was gray and her face was full of wrinkles. There were only about 6 or 7 teeth, and even those yellow ones didn’t look very good. Looking at Ji-gon Sung, she was a hag that seemed unable to stop her erection.
The old woman came running and hit me in the head with the momentum. It didn’t hurt. It’s just unpleasant. When I frowned, the old woman got angry.
“Hans, you bastard! Are you going to throw away the field again?! Hey! When are you going to come to your senses!”
“I hope. It’s crazy?”
“Would you like to? There’s nothing I can’t say to my mother! This guy!”
The hag swung her fist again. The previous one was hit because he didn’t know how to hit me, but this time it was different. He twisted lightly to avoid his fists, then stretched out his foot and walked over the hag’s legs. The hag fell facedown in the damp dirt.
“Huh!”
He put his foot on the back of the old woman’s head. The hagga struggled on his arms and legs to get up. I stepped on the old woman’s head a few times and relaxed slightly.
“Ha, Hans! Why, why are you doing this… ?! Stand up Mother is so hard….”
The old woman speaks in a weeping voice.
“I hope. I am not Hans. Of course, my mother is not a granny.”
“Ah, what are you talking about all of a sudden… Phuoc!”
I stepped on the old woman’s head again. This time harder than before. It looks like dirt got into the granny’s ears, but it’s none of my business.
I pulled the strength off his feet. The hag hastily lifted his head. Breathe in the air with a muddy face. The old woman trembled and looked at me.
“Ha, Hans. Did this mother do something wrong to you… ?”
“Because it’s not Hans. Absolutely real.”
“Hee!”
I stomped on his head a few more times. It didn’t take long for the old woman’s demeanor to change.
“I am not Hans.”
“Yes Yes. You’re right. You are not Hans… !”
“I hope. Where is the Rainbow Fruit?”
She asked without much expectation.
“Rainbow Fruit… ? You mean the legendary rainbow fruit?”
“Write. Speech.”
“Rainbow, you mean the rainbow fruit?”
“Okay. Rainbow Fruit.”
