Episode 50
I gaped at the sight unfolding before my eyes.
In the hot, humid heat, there was an endless stretch of marsh along a dense forest.
“This is a D-class gate… …
“I knew that the higher the gate, the wider the space. But I never thought it would make such a difference.
“Is it wide?”
I answered without even being angry.
“I see. To the point where it’s frustrating.”
“This is pretty average.
It’s to the point where you have to hire a guide from B-level gates onwards.”
“… … I think I still need a guide.”
“Today is fine.”
Choi took out the coated paper and showed it to me.
“What is that?”
“map. They gave it to me when I received the transfer of rights.”
Map, then you won’t get lost… … .
“Wait. I beg your pardon?”
“I told you it was a map.”
“No, not that. What did you say after that?”
“Are you referring to transfer of rights?”
yes, man that.
“What do you mean?”
“Literally.”
Chief Choi said indifferently.
“This gate is mine.”
“yes?”
“Exactly, it has a monopoly.”
Is it a wetland? Her hands are sweaty and her neck is burning.
I swallowed dry saliva.
‘Gate Monopoly?’
In South Korea, the gate is a national property.
Since the cataclysm, magic crystals have been established as a key energy source, and the gate is like a diamond mine that never dries up. But to think you have a monopoly on such a gate?
‘What the hell is it?’
I knew he was a rich boy, but I never thought he would be like this.
“Let’s start slowly.”
Team leader Choi’s back is dazzling as he strides ahead. Alas, that golden glow, the unapproachable scent of riches.
‘I will bury the bones in your guild.’
I was determined.
The wetland was like a maze.
Without a competent guide named Choi, I would have been lost for a long time. how long did it take
– Key it.
As the air power was increased, the cry was heard more clearly. It was the appearance of a monster.
‘At least twenty.’
According to Team Leader Choi’s explanation on the way, the monster appearing at this gate is a wetland lizardman.
They lived in several colonies under one tribe, but it seemed to be one of them.
“It is a small colony closest to the entrance. There are about 20 of them, so let’s get rid of them quickly and move on.”
Team leader Choi moved forward cutting off the vines. He’s usually a nice boy, but it’s no joke when he actually starts fighting.
The smell of forage wafted from the rear, like an 8-ton truck with a broken steering wheel.
‘It’s f*cking cool.’
This feeling of being able to wipe out not 30 Lizardmen but 100 with Team Leader Choi.
I can understand why high-level players are so hard on online games.
“Kee-it!”
Perhaps that’s why the first encounter with the Lizardman was not very tense.
However, there is only the wonder of the monsters that I have only seen in pictures or videos.
“Oh, big.”
Even the smallest of the twenty is a head taller than me.
It looks bigger because it has a height of at least 2 meters, sleek muscles, and even a thick tail.
‘Of course, it’s not as good as the Hobgoblin warrior I dealt with yesterday.’
These ugly-looking basketball prospects didn’t seem very happy to see us.
“Kit!”
“Kit, kit!”
Dozens of harpoons in each hand flashed. I said as I looked at the guys approaching from the front in the form of encirclement.
“There are no archers.”
“Most marshland lizardmen use harpoons. Be careful with the javelin just in case.”
“yes.”
Also Rizal. They cross their arms comfortably.
“Kee-it!”
It came close to only twenty meters ahead. I smiled at Team Leader Choi.

“These guys are not afraid.”
“It is a Lizardman characteristic. He is aggressive and prefers a head-to-head fight.”
“aha.”
In the meantime, the distance narrowed to 10 meters. I started to pay attention to Choi’s folded arms.
“Looks like we’ll have to fight soon.”
“I will have to fight.”
“… … Ah yes. It should be.”
Wedge-!
At that time, three or four harpoons rushed in, tearing through the wind. If it was the F-class hunter days, the kaleidoscope would have grazed, but now, well, I swung the spear lightly and bounced it off.
Turtle Tongue!
It was then that I felt something strange.
“Hey hey hey!”
“Kit! Key it!”
Why are these guys like that?
She turns her eyes white and screams out loud, but this goes beyond hostility and is almost at the level of hatred.
Team leader Choi threw a word at me, confused.
“Because of the equipment.”
equipment? Why is the equipment… … ah!
‘Lizardman Leather Set Slayer’s Spear.’
Shiva, look at the name.
If I were a Lizardman, I would have harpooned.
‘Come to think of it, the harpoon only flew at me.’
Since the enemy of his own people is right in front of his nose, Team Leader Choi is treated as an invisible person.
If this happens, it looks like I’m the only one who gets attacked all the time… … No, wait.
“Are you aiming for this?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m going to put this on me and pull it with aggro, and I’ll do it myself, it’s just that strategy, right?”
“I swear not.”
Director Choi Saek-han added,
“I will be quiet.”
“yes?”
“Taekyung will drag them with aggro and raid. Don’t get me wrong.”
what bullshit is this
“therefore… … You want me to fight alone?”
“yes.”
“Chief Choi, are you crossing your arms over there?”
“I will untie my arms.”
“No, Sibal… …
“A harpoon is flying.”
Nettle liquid?!
At the same time as the javelin attack, green scales flashed from all sides. Team leader Choi, who had flinched, shouted in a solemn voice.
“go for it!”
He’s not completely crazy.
I wanted to run right away and grab hold of the collar, but harpoons flew from all sides.
Kang!
“Kee-it!”
“These bastards.”
Grinding my teeth, I raised my [spirit]. Soon, twenty level windows popped up above their heads.
[Lv.40 Lizardman tribesmen]
It’s level 40… … .
I gripped the window tightly.
“You are all dead.”
belt ring.
–
The effect of [Lizardman Leather Set] increases damage dealt to the monster by 10%.
–
The [Lizardman Slayer’s Spear] effect increases damage dealt to the monster by 20%.
– All Lizardmen in that gate are hostile to you. They won’t stop until they pay this grudge. At the same time, the slayer’s spear drew a heavy trail. The herbivores of Jingachangbeop, which reached 7 stars, poured into them.
Quadduk!
“Kei… …
The eyes of the yellow reptile slowly close. The green marshes were covered with the bodies and blood of those who had died earlier, and there were no more Lizardmen standing.
belt ring.
–
Level up!
–
Level up!
I left the breezy system notification behind and turned around. I saw Team Leader Choi, who was leaning against a tree. He said he doesn’t cross his arms, but he’s wearing them, so it’s doubly pissed off.
“What are you doing?”
Team leader Choi, who was looking at me without a word, threw something at me. A red liquid in a small drinking bottle. A potion that restores depleted physical strength.
“Are you sick and giving me medicine?”
“You look healthy for being sick. Seeing that there is not a single scratch.”
… … It’s plausible. I almost understood in an instant.
While I hesitated, Choi’s mouth opened.
“I’m sorry.”
Don’t stop there, bend your back. It was a polite apology that I had no words to say. Her heart softened for a moment, but I need to hear the reason.
“Why did you do that?”
“Because I have to look at my skills.”
“Just because of that?”
“It’s important to me. How Taekyung moves and how much he can deal with. We also need to know how far we can go together.”
“So you’re alone when it’s full of monsters?”
“I wouldn’t have done that if Taekyung wasn’t trustworthy.”
To be honest, it feels good when a good guy lifts me up.
‘Above all, I wasn’t hurt, and I leveled up twice.’
I asked expectantly.
“What about the result?”
“hmm.”
Team leader Choi, who was staring at me with his unique strange eyes, finally opened his mouth.
“I don’t know yet.”
“yes?”
“So that’s what I mean.”
Chief Choi took out something and threw it at me. It is an elongated cylinder with no visible inside. When I shake it, the liquid glistens.
“What is this, a potion?”
“Is there a button down there? Try pressing it.”
Is it a structure that opens when you press it?
I pushed the button while tilting my head. With a click, the front of the cylinder opened wide.
the problem is… … .
pop!
What was inside it soared like fireworks and exploded in the air.
The pink liquid burst in the air and spread widely.
“uh?”
What is that?
As I stared blankly at the scene, Team Leader Choi’s voice pierced my ears.
“It’s a pheromone.”
“Pheromone? perfume?”
“Similar.”
“…?”
“Because it was taken from a female lizardman.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a vibration somewhere.
It is land. The ground was shaking. Team Manager Choi kindly added,
“The effect is very strong.”
You are this baby… … .
“Team leader.”
These are the first words the gray-haired man uttered in an hour. Kim Sang-shik, who had been waiting endlessly while he chain-smoked, answered.
“yes. Guild leader.”
“Are you curious? Did this human being call me from the morning to tremble again? do you want to?”
“Oh, no.”
The picnic guild leader smiled kindly.
“that’s right.”
“yes?”
“I called you to tremble.”
“Do you know where I went today?”
The guild leader exhaled smoke and said.
“Guild union breakfast meeting.”
Small and medium guilds are also businesses. In each region, there is a meeting between each guild leader to promote unity and friendship, and that was today.
“I was just about to have a drink on an empty stomach, but the head of the Sangdong Guild told me an interesting story. The C-class awakened this time was a member of our guild until a few days ago.”
“… … Guild Master. that is.”
The guild leader raised his hand to block Kim Sang-sik’s continued words.
“I was wondering what bullshit. But it’s true that the head of the Sangdong guild is an ignorant bastard, but he’s not the type to make up things that aren’t there. Even at a joint meeting.”
“I, I will look again!”
“Team 3? No, you don’t have to.”
The guild leader tossed a crumpled wad of paper.
“Because I found out.”
Kim Sang-sik was able to find out that the identity of this crumpled wad of paper was someone’s personal information. his name too.
“Jin Tae-gyeong, is this a name that the 3rd team leader also knows?”
‘f*ck.’
The guild leader brushed off the cigarette ash while watching Kim Sang-sik wrapping the silver tightly.
“I know the heart of Team 3. I’m a founding member of the guild, and I can cut a low-ranking hunter I don’t like. I also put my beloved son in the empty seat. is not it?”
“Yes, yes.”
“But did the F-class mudfish, who were treated harshly and kicked out, come back as dragons?
The guild leader even asked me to recruit him, but if I tell the truth, I’m sure I’ll tremble, and I’m afraid people won’t recognize me. So you posted a false report? yes?”
Jijik.
The guild leader rubbed a cigarette to put it out. The embers dissipated, and the last of his patience was gone.
“Team 3. No, common sense. Are we 20 years old?”
Kim Sang-shik answered in an anxious voice.
“21 years. Guild leader.”
“It’s not like that.”
“… … Yes, brother.”
“Yes, that sounds good. Keep doing that from now on.”
“yes?”
“I did as much as I wished they had brought me for 21 years. I’ll tell the members of Team 3 separately, so please leave today.”
“Tongue, brother!”
“If you quietly shut up and go out, the road ahead will not be blocked. Go out and do whatever you want.”
The voice of the guild leader who suppressed his anger.
Kim Sang-sik realized that he had no more options.
‘Get out? Guild?’
This is a job I have been in for over 20 years. But just going out with this. He kicks it off without hesitation.
‘What the f*ck…’
As he left the office with gritted teeth, one last shot flew behind him.
“Oh, HR manager. Two people resign today. Kim Sang-shik and Kim Sang-ho.”
After that, for several days, the Picnic Guild was noisy due to the rare incident of a father and son leaving the company at the same time.
Along with him, what emerged as a hot issue within the guild was the current situation of the lowest-ranking hunter who had recently left the company.
“It’s class C. Reawakening.”
“Oh, are you Taekyung? The Taekyung I know?”
“Because it is. Totally hit the lottery. Kim Sang-sik went to recruit that person without knowing who he was, and said he ate properly.”
“I picked up all kinds of faults and cut them, and I reaped what I sowed. I heard that Team Leader Kim goes around cursing at the guild leader for unfair dismissal.”
“You’re out of your mind. Great, I envy you anyway. When will I ever live a life like that?”
“Honestly, Tae-kyung has qualifications. Because he was a person who worked so hard, luck came.”
“What are the qualifications? So are we all revelers? It’s all luck, luck.”
The conversation, which was half envy and half jealous, always ended with one question.
“Taekyung, where are you and what are you doing?”
