Episode 82: The journey of Yeo Su-haeng (4)
* * *
‘You’re good.’
‘As expected, it’s obvious when you look right at it. They calculate everything and avoid it. It’s not luck.’
As the battle to take down Buldak(?) Cannabis intensified, Kang-hoo and Baek Seon-tae became attracted to each other.
Of course, I felt affection for his skills. It wasn’t an emotional affection like some might think.
In any case, Baek Seon-tae confirmed that Kang-hoo’s skills and evasion responses were intentional and calculated.
Kang-hu concluded that Baek Seon-tae’s skills were too good to be wasted in a small-scale local warlord.
I don’t know how skilled Kim Ja-ho is.
With Baek Seon-tae’s current skill, it would be easy to enter the Jeonghwa Guild. Of course, I don’t intend to recommend it.
Cannabis felt like she was dying from the two assassins’ hit-and-run attacks.
Cannabis’s special feature is that it spits out fire with strong firepower, preventing enemies from approaching.
However, since the fire spitting ability was not infinite, some waiting time was necessary.
The problem was that Kang-hoo and Baek-seon-tae would never leave this gap alone.
In particular, Kang-hoo was able to strike from a distance with the same skill as Jeon-gwang-bi without even having to approach Cannabis.
Moreover, when approaching, you can use the decapitation skill to deliver a devastating blow.
That’s why cannabis was bound to be tricky no matter how far or close Kang-hoo was.
At some point, it seemed as if it could read the path of the fire it was spewing, and it would change its position before it could even be spewed.
Since he was a strong man equipped with shadow walking and illusion techniques, it was even more difficult to hit him.
“Ugh. Huh. Huh.”
It was not Kang-hoo or Baek Seon-tae, but Cannabis who was gasping for breath.
Since he can use his voice like a human, he appeared with a lot of weight from the moment he appeared.
As a result, it turned out to be a very embarrassing situation. If you know shame well, it would be a situation where your face would burn.
Meanwhile.
Kang-hoo rushes towards Cannabis again. He needs to threaten the guy’s life to induce a tricky situation.
Cannabis is different from Baltman, who was a humanoid wizard, in appearance and attack style.
In the big picture, the pattern used for the trick was ultimately the same.
This is because Cannabis also has a skill called ‘Burn Eat’ to defend against attacks from difficult enemies.
As Kang-hoo took a stance to throw the blood clot using the Jeon-gwang-bi-do, Cannabis flinched.
Because I had learned from the experience of suffering serious injuries to my wings from that attack before, my body reacted with tension first.
Then, as Kang-hoo took a stance to throw with all his might, Cannabis quickly responded.
“Kyaaaaah!”
What Cannabis spat out with his mouth wide open was a fire of incomparable power to what came before.
It was a response that contained a strong will to completely melt and eliminate the flying blood clot.
The development of the Burning Eating skill.
‘Is it really a chicken head?’
Kang-hoo smiled as things went as expected.
It was the same with Baltman, and it is the same with Cannabis today. Monsters that have learned pain are easily deceived.
What left Kang-hoo’s fingertips was not the bloodletting, but the skill book of the savage era that he took out from his bosom.
However, Cannabis, who could not even guess, used the burning skill to quickly destroy the skill book.
At the same time, the contents, which had been replaced in the form of blue essence, entered Cannabis’ mouth.
The original Burning skill was designed to burn away the opponent’s attacks while inducing mana replenishment.
But Cannabis burned the skill book, and what he got by eating the essence was a random skill.
That’s how the setup ended.
but.
‘What just happened?’
Baek Seon-tae, who couldn’t understand English, tilted his head.
Because what Kang-hoo threw was not a dagger, but a book.
It was a situation that Baek Seon-tae could not understand, as he had no idea about Kang-hoo’s ability to steal skills.
at that time.
“I think it’s time now.”
He gave the signal to step aside.
The end of cannabis is near.
Thanks to Baek Seon-tae’s assistance with damage, the time was shortened much more than expected.
Now all that remains is to retrieve the skill from the Fire Chicken that fed the skill book.
The table is set.
All you had to do was pick up a spoon.

Five minutes after that.
【The Age of Savagery】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv Max】
【If the learner’s mana stat is less than 50, the mana usage value of all skills is reduced by 50%.】
Kang-hoo was checking the Savage Age skill that succeeded in killing and robbing Cannabis.
This skill was originally exclusive to the Berserker, but thanks to a trick, the penalty for the class not matching has been removed.
If you had learned it as is, you would have been subject to a penalty that would have reduced the efficiency to 10% of the original.
You will see a very small effect, such as a 5% reduction in mana usage instead of a 50% reduction.
However, thanks to the trick that made it possible to acquire the full skill, it was possible to inherit the original efficiency.
‘I reached level 95 and got the Savage Age. If I got the orange magic stone on top of that, it would be a total win.’

What made Kang-hoo feel even better was the magic stone he got as loot from the dead Cannabis.
The orange magic stone is one whose trading price in the market is close to at least 10 billion won.
Since it was in high demand among medium and large guilds, it was easy to sell and turn into cash.
It is not easy to obtain red, orange, and yellow magic stones as loot in dungeons, as the probability is very low.
But I couldn’t help but feel good because I got the reward despite those low odds.
There was more good news.
【Spirit of Fire】
【Fire ‘Absolute’ resistance increases by 7.5%.】
The moment Cannabis dies, it gains resistance to fire in the form of a permanent buff.
Absolute tolerance.
It is a tolerance that cannot be ignored under any circumstances.
For example, if your absolute resistance to fire is 100%, you will be immune to any fire attack.
However, absolute resistance was difficult to obtain, to the point that even the best hunters had a hard time building it up.
I unexpectedly gained absolute fire resistance from cannabis.
If we were to convert the absolute tolerance of 7.5% into monetary value, we could say that it would be worth at least 75 billion won.
This is because the ability value of a hunter with 100% absolute resistance is usually considered to be 1 trillion won.
It wasn’t unrealistic to value it at that level, as it was completely invincible against certain attribute attacks.
“It was truly… … a meaningful observation. It’s a day that gives me a lot to think about.”
Baek Seon-tae, who was speaking naturally, was holding a notebook densely filled with things written on it.
“Well, if it helps.”
Kang-hoo made an awkward expression.
I wondered if it was necessary to look at myself like that and ‘study’, but on the other hand, I felt good.
“Will you ever come to Yeosu again? Probably not. There’s no reason to come here.”
Baek Seon-tae looked at the exit that had opened without him noticing and made a regretful expression.
For some reason, I had a feeling that if not now, I would never see Kang-hoo again.
I had a strong feeling that if I didn’t create a bond here, it wouldn’t be connected.
Respect lightly ignored petty pride. If your heart is strong enough to want something, what does that little bit of face mean?
Baek Seon-tae ran towards Kang-hu and bowed his head.
“I really want to meet you again. Can we exchange contact information? You can also give me your SNS.”
“I’ll get your contact information. I don’t want to exchange them without meaning to.”
“Oh, yes. Yes. Okay, I understand.”
Kang-hoo drew a clear line.
Baek Seon-tae has been friendly from the beginning, and I don’t think he still has ill intentions.
Because the human mind is not something that can be easily trusted.
The interest is purely Baek Seon-tae’s personal greed.
It’s true that Kang-hoo was interested in Baek Seon-tae, but he wasn’t seriously curious about who he was.
In that case, there was no need to approach first. Kang-hoo thought so.
Baek Seon-tae hurriedly wrote down his name, cell phone number, and several SNS addresses in a notebook.
Then, he carefully opened it, folded it neatly, and handed it to Kang-hoo. With the hope that he wouldn’t lose it.
Baek Seon-tae added.
“It doesn’t matter if it takes a long time. If you think of me, please contact me.”
“All right.”
“Then I will proceed with the training as soon as I leave. The remaining compensation belongs to our warlords.”
“As much as you want.”
Kang-hoo nodded.
It’s about the promised part, and Kang-hoo had already gained a lot, so he wasn’t interested in anything else.
I came to this dungeon to learn about the savage era, but I got more rewards than I expected.
Even if you sell only the orange magic stones well in the market, you can increase your balance up to 46.6 billion won.
* * *
After breaking up with Baek Seon-tae.
Kang-hoo headed to a nearby hotel to relieve the fatigue accumulated from the battle.
Because I want to relieve my fatigue first.
Certainly, it was because the dungeon level was high, but I felt a considerable amount of fatigue building up in my body without me knowing it.
Kang-hoo, who entered the room, immediately filled the bathtub with hot water and took a half-body bath.
I liked the tired feeling that ran through my whole body. I guess I’m taking a half-body bath for this taste.
“While we’re at it, let’s try to collect 100 billion won. It would be much easier if it were a tier 2 item.”
I got greedy.
Even just having the Bloodwell, a tier 3 item, gave me a lot of motivation to clear the dungeon.
The background that made it possible to conquer dungeons that were far above the level was the weight given by the Blood Tower.
Thanks to the special effect of ‘Taste of Blood’, you get a significant damage advantage from hitting overlapping areas.
This is because the blood clot itself has a high level of anti-demon and anti-ghost stats, so it is effective in terms of defense.
If the 3rd grade item Bloodletter was like this, it seemed like the world I lived in would be different if it was an item one level higher.
In terms of stats alone, you will experience an increase of at least 2 to 3 times compared to Blood Flow.
Because the special effects won’t be one or two, but will appear in a row of six or seven.
There is a reason why named hunters are so greedy about equipping 2nd and 1st grade items.
This is because it brings about a drastic change in one’s abilities and direction as a hunter, to the point where the expression “rebirth” is appropriate.
Of course, even if you have money, finding items that suit you well is a separate issue.
If Kang-hoo could raise the money needed to purchase a second-grade item, he planned to look abroad rather than domestically.
Items sold domestically were lacking in quantity and variety compared to those in the US or China.
“Sell the orange magic stone. And if you finish the case related to Jeon Jong-du, that’s it.”
In some cases, it may even be possible to increase assets to 70 billion won.
If Jeon Jong-du dies, the commission fee is 10 billion won, but if he is captured alive, it is 30 billion won.
As I was annoyedly deleting the spam texts and disaster alerts that were piling up on my smartphone, I saw a few missed call notifications and Talk alerts.
“Huh. We got out of Ground Zero earlier than I thought.”
The first person Kang-hoo exchanged numbers with. The person he hoped would come out of Ground Zero one day.
– Where are you? I’m in Seoul!
– I guess you went to the dungeon since you’re not answering the phone. Call me later when you check! I’ll be waiting!

There was a call from Jeong Yu-ri.
