Solo Resurrection Chapter 21

Episode 21 Dungeon Strategy (1)

21. Dungeon Strategy (1)

A man and a woman were sitting facing each other in a large, sunlit office.

-Dalgrak

A woman with long, pitch-black hair put down her teacup.

“How was your experience as a teacher?”

“It wasn’t as easy as I thought.”

A man in a suit sitting across from the woman’s words. Kim I-hyeon answered.

“I heard there was a big accident.”

“yes.”

“And there were some people who stood out.”

Kim Yi-hyeon made a complicated and subtle expression.

“There were two peculiar men.”

As he spoke, Kim Yi-hyeon looked at the woman in front of him.

She has a beautiful appearance that makes her look like she wouldn’t be out of place with celebrities on TV. However, her eyes are those of a woman who is infinitely cold.

“Are these people capable of helping us?”

Her true identity is Han Se-yeon. She is known to the world as one of only two women in Korea to have graduated from the 8th level of the tutorial.

“Neither of them were in their right minds. The child named An Yu-seong was clearly crazy, and the man named Kang Hyeon also did not seem to be normal.”

Kim Yi-hyeon lifted his teacup, moistened his throat, and continued speaking.

“But I think it’s definitely something we need to keep an eye on. I think… these are people who are definitely capable of rising to the top. One way or another.”

“If that’s what Mr. Kim Lee-Hyeon says, then it must be so.”

Han Se-yeon said with a smile.

“Do you have any information about the accident?”

“I’m looking into it. It looks like they ignored the dungeon boss and removed the main core, but I don’t know who did it.”

When the words “I don’t know” come out of Han Se-yeon’s mouth, it’s better to give up cleanly. Kim Yi-hyun simply nodded in agreement.

“The government and I are concerned because it could develop into organized terrorism. Just wait and see.”

“Yes, I understand.”

**

“30,000 won per person? Are you crazy?”

Kang Ah-hyun opened her eyes wide after checking the menu.

“Oh, if Uncle buys it for you, just say thank you and eat it.”

“You crazy bastard. Where did you get the money to come to a place like this? What did you do?”

When Ah-hyeon asked with a serious expression, Kang-hyeon lifted his index finger and shook it from side to side.

“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s too early to be surprised. Check your bankbook.”

“Bankbook..?”

Ah-hyeon, overwhelmed by Kang-hyeon’s arrogant speech and tongue-clicking, turned on the smartphone app.

There was a deposit of ten million won, half of the money Kang Hyun had earned.

“One, ten… a hundred… a thousand? Ten million?!”

Ah-hyun’s eyes popped out as she looked at her smartphone.

“Be quiet! People are getting hurt. I’m going to die from embarrassment.”

“Hey! What is this money? Tell me the truth. What did you do? Did you steal it?”

If I didn’t answer quickly, he looked like he was going to grab me by the collar.

“Ma’am, I told you to be quiet. It’s money from the government, so don’t worry and use it. I’m sorry for the debt I owe you so much… I’ll give you more in the future, so don’t worry about living expenses.”

Kang Hyun said with a smile.

“Why is the government giving you money?”

“I’m giving it to you after clearing the dungeon, so don’t talk nonsense and just put some meat on it. The grill is hot.”

-Cheeeeee

The Korean beef was placed on a heated grill, and in an instant, the surface of the meat was golden brown.

Kang Hyun lightly dipped the well-cooked meat in salt and brought it to Ah Hyun’s mouth.

Normally, this would have been an action that would have caused a stir, but for some reason, Ah-hyeon opened her mouth without saying anything.

“Sigh… sigh…”

Ah-hyeon, who had received the meat, suddenly began to cry.

“Hey. What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Is the meat that delicious? How delicious must it be for you to shed tears!?”

Kang Hyun brought his chopsticks to his mouth in a hurry, fussing.

“Sigh, sob…”

“Ugh, ugh, I’m about to cry… It’s delicious… Sob sob.”

Kang Hyun pretended to cry exaggeratedly while chewing meat.

“That’s not why I’m crying!”

“Then why are you crying? Are you so happy about getting the money?”

“Yeah! Great! I was so worried… Whoa!”

In the end, Ah-hyeon burst into tears and cried bitterly, holding back tears and snot.

“Why is this bitch like this?! She cries and makes a fuss while eating meat.”

“My salary is barely a penny, and I’ve already spent all my savings! My brother is a guy who plays games all day at home, so how can I not worry?!”

Ahyeon spoke nonstop as if she was going to pour out all the sorrow she had been holding in.

“Mom and Dad, it’s hard for you too, and you have nowhere to turn to, so it must have been so hard!”

“Hey. I’m sorry… I’ll give you more allowance from now on.”

“How much are you going to give…”

Kang Hyun was shocked to see her ask the amount of money while sobbing.

“Ha, I’ll give you more than 500,000 won per month!”

“Really..?”

“Yeah. If you earn more, I can give you a lot more. So let’s eat meat first. You know that beef doesn’t taste good if you overcook it, right?”

“okay…”

Ah-hyeon stopped crying and quickly calmed down after eating a few pieces of meat.

After some time had passed, the siblings ordered drinks and started chatting.

“I told you, I was really an incomparable idiot. Compared to him, I’m just an angel. An angel.”

“Phew, you’re lying. Where can you find a twenty-year-old like that?”

“No, he graduated from high school, but he’s still nineteen. Anyway, that kid is real. He’ll be on the news soon.”

“Shit.”

“That guy says something creepy like, ‘You’re just like me, hyung.’”

Kang Hyun confessed his grievances to Ah Hyun by telling her the story of the incident at the education school and about An Yu-seong.

“He said the right thing.”

“What?! This is to Oppa….”

Ahyeon and Kanghyun were yelling at each other, getting angry and annoyed.

But that night, I was able to smile and spend the day comfortably.

**

A few days later, Kang Hyun’s ability registration certificate arrived.

“Now I really need to start earning money.”

If you have a registration card, you can legally enter the dungeon.

Kang Hyun wanted to run in right away, but he held back.

“Let’s check the radar first.”

‘Raider’

It was a community site used by almost all people with abilities.

Information on dungeons located across the country is updated in real time, and parties are recruited to conquer each dungeon.

Although the site has been around for less than two months, the number of users has increased rapidly and it has now become an official government-certified site.

“Let’s see, there’s a F-class dungeon nearby… It’s here.”

F-rank dungeon. Taranq’s hatchery.

“Tarank…Tarank? Where have I seen it before? Ah!”

About two months ago. The day when dungeons opened simultaneously and monster waves occurred.

Kang-Hyeon, who ran out to save Ah-Hyeon, encountered another monster besides the goblin.

“Those spider babies!”

Kang Hyun-i checked the detailed information of the dungeon, imagining a monster with a strong jaw, sharp legs, and a mouth that shoots poison.

Taran’s Hatchery: A closed dungeon in a humid cave. Many baby Taran’s and larvae appear.

Taranka is quite threatening when it becomes an adult, but before that, even beginners can easily defeat it.

The boss of the dungeon is Mother Taranque, and although her abilities are weak, she is not easy to conquer because there are several adult Taranques and a huge number of baby Taranques guarding the area.

In many ways, it is a dungeon at the top of the F-class.

Because there are many tricky enemies that spit out acid, it is recommended to challenge it with a large party that is well-equipped and well-composed.

“It’s explained in more detail than I thought.”

Below the dungeon description, there was a post saying that they were currently recruiting a raid team.

[13th Taranq’s Hatchery Normal Core Strategy 18/20]

– A total of 20 people will gather to attack with safety as the top priority. The core settlement is not much at 500,000 won per person, but since there are a lot of enemies, it is expected that there will be an additional income of about 500,000 won per person.

Since the location of the dungeon’s core is currently known, the expected clearing period is 4 to 5 days.

Please apply for participation by posting a private comment and including your contact information.

“Wouldn’t it be better to learn together rather than starting alone?”

Kang Hyun, who had been thinking about it, posted a comment and applied.

-Wooooosh, wowoosh.

After a while, a call came to Kang Hyun’s smartphone from an unfamiliar number.

“hello.”

-Are you Mr. Kang Hyeon?

“yes.”

A man’s voice, who seemed quite old, was heard over the phone.

-Nice to meet you. My name is Kim Anseong.

Kim An-seong, the leader of this attack team, first asked Kang Hyeon if he had any recovery skills.

-Ah… So you’re saying that only your own recovery is possible?

“yes.”

It was a somewhat trembling voice.

-Excuse me, what is your level?

“I’m 15.”

-Okay. Then I’d like to ask you for the tank position.

Since the dungeon had only recently been created, there were very few people with recovery skills.

There was an absolute lack of healer positions in this guild.

However, Kim An-seong decided to accept Kang Hyeon.

This is because Kang Hyun’s level was quite high, and I thought that if he had self-healing, it would be very helpful. 

“Is there anything I need to bring separately?”

-We will send you the necessary items via text message.

“yes.”

-You’ll need a large backpack because, as you know, you can’t put anything in your inventory other than items.

“All right.”

After ending the call, Kang Hyun checked the necessary items while looking at the text messages that came to mind.

“A sleeping bag and a week’s worth of food. And…”

“hey!”

Then suddenly the door opened and Ahyeon ran in.

“why?”

“Is this you?”

Then Ahyeon thrust her smartphone in.

-Goblin Slayer in Gunwoo-dong

It was a fairly familiar name.

“what’s this?”

“Is this you? And there was a news report that you cleared a dungeon at the Ability Training School. Why didn’t you tell me straight up?”

While listening to Ahyeon’s words, Kanghyun carefully examined the photo. It was definitely him, holding the longsword of Billgain, which had a crimson glow.

-The person responsible for resolving the accident that occurred in Seongnam City this time, his class never goes away.

“It’s true that it’s me… but how do you know just by looking at my back?”

Kang Hyun was overcome with doubt as he read the short text that came with the photo. He decided to scroll down and check the comments.

-How can you tell if it’s you just by looking at this?

-There are other photos. A comparative analysis article has already been posted.

-Guys, think about it. It’s been two months since the Gunwoo-dong massacre happened, and that’s where new recruits get trained.

-This kid is certified as an idiot. There are currently over 100,000 people waiting for training, so you can receive training right now.

-With that level of class, you could be an assistant or an instructor?

-Yeah, I heard that the boss was defeated by only three people.

-Out of three? ㄷㄷㄷ

-No, what is Goblin Slayer in Gunwoo-dong?

-Link http… .

As Kang Hyun continued to check the comments, a familiar name caught his eye.

-Still, it would be hard to compete with Han Se-yeon or Choi Dong-woo, right?

-No. That’s a world-class place. You have to be world-class to get Bibi.

When Kang Hyun checked the comments, veins appeared on his forehead.

“Is there really nothing to do?”

“Hey. These days, the biggest interest on the Internet is people with abilities. That’s only natural.”

Nowadays, the biggest concerns on the Internet are things like ‘what kind of new ability user is appearing’ and ‘who is the strongest ability user’.

Community sites and cafes related to it were already being created, and there was even a site that analyzed the combat abilities of those with abilities and posted rankings.

“Look at this. You’re also ranked.”

-1st place Choi Dong-woo

-2nd place Han Se-yeon

⦙

27th place Gunwoo-dong Goblin Slayer

The ranking that Ahyeon presented had a total of 100 places. Kanghyun was in 27th place.

“Why do you create such unreliable data?”

“I’m just doing it for fun. And it’s also getting more views.”

Kang Hyun, who had been secretly thinking that someone like him could be counted on one hand in Korea, was upset.

“Ugh, it’s useless. I should get ready.”

“Ready? What preparation?”

“I’ll enter the dungeon in three days.”
