Chapter 150 – Reunion With Hyeonjeong 3
To put it precisely, it would be more accurate to say that you have finished clearing the secret quest hidden in it rather than clearing the monsters in the field spread out at the waypoint.
However, I did not want to go to a gate that was too far from Seoul.
For me, who is naturally comfortable, I didn’t really prefer to travel long distances.
So, inevitably, I decided to use Yoon Seo-ah, who had risen to the president of the association.
“Therefore?”
Normally, she didn’t feel so afraid, but since she’s in a position where she’s in a position, she feels strongly that every word she says is different from before.
“Because I am externally B-class, I can attack only up to waypoint 32 alone… “
I don’t know if it’s because she’s a dragon or if she’s naturally smart, but she immediately sensed what I was trying to say.
“So you’re asking me to allow you to enter number 64?”
Bingo.
It was Yoon Seo-ah’s judgment that accurately pierced the core.
“That, yes. If you do… “
“Okay.”
So simply my request was passed.
“Is that the end?”
I expected that there would be some push and pull, but contrary to my expectations, I was rather the one who was puzzled when I came to a conclusion too simply.
“Yes. Even if you enter waypoint 64, where there are EX-class monsters, oppa won’t run a monster raid anyway.”
Lately she hasn’t asked me why I’m entering the gate.
If it had been someone else, she could have been prying, but she didn’t.
I don’t know if he acts that way because he believes in me too much or because he’s indifferent to me.
Besides, she knew exactly that even if I went inside the gate, she wouldn’t run a monster raid.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“There is also a waypoint investigation, so oppa can enter the waypoint and survey the terrain for the Association.”
Rather, Seoah Yoon gave me a very interesting suggestion.
Because Korea had a relatively large population despite its small land area, the number of hunters per unit area was also higher than other countries with low population density.
However, not all topographic surveys of the fields spread out at each waypoint inside the gate have yet been completed.
I wondered if this was the reason why most of the electronic equipment didn’t work inside the gate, so the terrain survey was slow.
However, Yoon Seo-ah was well aware of the reality of Korea.
Knowing that I am probably EX-class, she decided that I could come up with a solution of my own to the field topography problem.
Yoon Seo-ah already knew her ability as her hunter better than anyone else.
So, in the name of topographical survey, she took measures to allow us to enter the gate.
“Anyway, my brother must have paid the entrance fee of 12 million won and went in. But if he accepts my offer, he will waive the entrance fee.”
I was jaw-dropping at her suggestion.
“I-really?”
“Of course. Besides, if you investigate the terrain unfolding at each waypoint for the sake of the hunters and the country, we should of course give you a fee per case. Think of it as a part-time job.”
“Oh, how much will you give me?”
I somehow got into her negotiating mode by tossing her questions at her inflated expectations of her.
“About 200 per case would be enough. If you want to use a high-class manpower like your brother, that would be insufficient, but the situation of the Hunter Association is not so generous.”
If it is about 200 per case, your income will drop by about 6,000 per month.
If you are greedy for money, it is true that the amount is clearly insufficient.
However, for me who wanted to keep quiet, the offer of 200 Gundan wasn’t too bad.
Since I was using a drone to create a topographical map anyway, it was enough to use my magical power to survey the interior terrain using a mechanically operated drone while tying up monsters so that they could not move.
Anyway, every time the hunters entered the gate, the total amount paid to the country and the association was 12 million won.
But she had reversed her offer to not only waive the cost, but rather pay me for my labor.
I was overjoyed at her proposal.
For the past year, I went through secret quests every day, and roughly 4.3 billion won a year was spent purely on gate admission alone.
To be precise, it was 4.38 billion won.
But that wasn’t all.
The money I put in while I got 86,500 points so far has already easily exceeded the 10 billion I received from Yoon Seo-ah as a down payment.
So lately my barn has been almost dry.
Fortunately, however, Yoon Seo-ah suggested a solution to me struggling with financial problems.
I told her that she would agree to do so, and that she would start right away, and left her president’s office.
“Great. Today is Bukhansan Gate 64 Waypoint Secret Quest Attack.”
Thanks to Yoon Seo-ah’s consideration, I was able to confidently enter waypoint 64, which is not accessible to B-class hunters, under the pretext of surveying the terrain within the gate.
“No matter how topographical it is, you have to be careful.”
One of the janitors guarding the entrance made a strong request while worrying about my safety.
“Yes, I will investigate as carefully as possible.”
After telling them that, I went straight to waypoint 64.
At the waypoint, I first opened my heart to find a stone that could open the secret quest.
In the meantime, I was able to detect a familiar energy at a point about 10 km away from me in the direction of 2 o’clock.
That energy was the energy of my ex-girlfriend Hyun-jung.
She was currently conducting a raid alone against the Balrog, an SSS-class monster, inside Bukhansan Gate.
However, the sense of her aura from her has become so powerful that it far surpasses the aura she felt before.
At first, I didn’t take it seriously because it wasn’t up to my strength, but I briefly questioned the energy that far surpassed her power that I had felt before.
However, I soon realized the obvious reason why her energy was stronger than before.
“It looks like you came in after taking a potion.”
I’ve been passing her potions to Seo-Ah Yoon for about the past 8 months since she became the president of her association.
Even when she confronted me, she just accepted it silently.
I was a little upset, but I couldn’t help it.
It wasn’t once or twice that I had a sad feeling that I might have already left my heart.
Anyway, she was taking the potion every day. However, I have a question here.
She once swallowed my semen.
But after that, she apparently had countless physical relationships with several males.
“Obviously she ate my semen. Still, can she go up one rank forever if she takes it for two years? Yoon Seo-ah said it was impossible.”
I had an unanswerable question, but I decided to ask Yoon Seo-ah later, and I started looking for stones for the secret quest, leaving Hyeon-jeong to conduct the monster raid.
It wasn’t long before I found a foreign stone.
“Since you found the stone, you must first investigate the topography, right?”
Before clearing the secret quest, I first started making a topographical map using a drone.
Except for the place where Hyeonjeong is conducting a raid.
The waypoint inside the gate was roughly equivalent to the average area of a city in South Korea.
So, since it was impossible to get around in a day without raiding, I moved by car.
It was an SUV built to run on petrol and without any electronics, as only mechanically built machines operated in the gates.
And the drones selected for terrain surveys were also specially made.
Furthermore, since the camera mounted on the drone could not use a digital camera, it was elaborately made so that the shutter could be pressed at regular intervals by attaching a special device elaborately manufactured as a tape device with a film camera.
I thought of moving this drone with magic power.
The problem is that it takes a lot of magic power to move mechanical equipment with magic power, but I had enough magic power to control a drone with magic power in an area the size of a city.
In addition, the drones made by the association responded properly to my magic power.
“It will make the job relatively easy.”
I immediately figured out where Hyeonjeong was raiding and divided the inside of the field in half in my head.
With the exception of the half centered on the spot where Hyeon-jeong is conducting the raid, the camera was manipulated to take photos of the terrain at regular intervals while moving the drone with magical power over the other half of the terrain.
I pre-designated a shooting point on the terrain of half the field with magic power, so when the drone flew and reached the designated point, the clockwork was activated and the shutter was pressed while turning for 10 seconds.
Then it flew to the next point. In that way, the drone filmed while moving continuously to the designated point.
From now on, all I had to do was take out the folding camping bed from the car I had been driving and take a rest.
“Once the drone finishes filming half of the terrain, it will take about two hours. First of all, let’s set up a shade and lie down on the camp bed to rest.”
Did you take a break for an hour or so?
Just in case, I fell asleep with my senses spread out in radar mode.
The waypoint I was examining the terrain map was the stage where the SSS-class monster, Balak, was active.
No matter how EX rank I am, if I am attacked by them, it will be difficult to protect my life.
So, in terms of being careful, I spread my senses and went to sleep.
However, I felt the scattered dots that were judged as Balak suddenly move towards the points that were judged as Hyeonjeong.
At that moment, my unconscious made me wake up right away.
“What. Suddenly, several dots are moving towards one point.”
I immediately spread my feeling towards the point where I was judged as Hyeonjeong.
She just killed a Balrog, a giant SSS-class monster.
“Also. Raid skills aren’t dead yet.”
She gave her lament at her ability to beat her ball.
However, I began to focus on the reality of the Balaks approaching Hyeonjeong.
I checked the identities of several dots heading towards her, but among the dogs, there were about 5 EX-class Ballacks.
In about 10 minutes, they will gather at Hyeonjeong at about the same time.
In that case, Hyeonjeong would encounter a group of Balaks numbering about 15.
“This. If something goes wrong, Hyeon-jeong’s life will be in danger.”
I measured the distance from where I was to where she was.
I felt that if I moved really quickly, I would be able to arrive before the Balaks.
It was probably because my speed, being an EX level, was faster than the speed of Balak.
I moved in haste.
In the meantime, I met three Balaks, and I dealt with them right away.
As I mentioned before, the fights of beings with magical powers were very simple when facing one-on-one.
If you give a shock enough to break the shield of the awakened person or monster, the opponent will suffer severe internal injuries.
I fired a magical arrow powerful enough to break the SSS-class defense barrier, and the arrow flew straight toward the Balaks I encountered.
The Balaks said they were defending, but they couldn’t build a strong enough shield to block my magical arrows.
By the way, the magic arrow could move at my will.
So the arrow pierced each of the Balaks’ defenses and at the same time pierced them right through their hearts.
When the giant Balak fell, a powerful shock and earthquake that shook the earth filled the surroundings.
“Uhm. It’s amazing.”
One of the 3 Balaks I defeated was EX-class.
Since I didn’t have time, I didn’t try to procure the corpse, but I ran toward Hyeon-jung like a darting arrow.
Fortunately, I was able to get to her in time.
“Tongue, Hyun Jung-ah♥ … “
I haven’t called her name in a long time.
Hearing my voice, she knew right away that it was me.
Her eyes were a little surprised because she was not on Earth, but inside the gate.
“Oh, how did you get here… “
