Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 157
157. Shin Kyung-min’s Reward
“Min Do-jun Hunter… … ?”
Shin Hye-ri asked with surprised eyes at Shin Kyung-min’s muttering.
“Do you know him?”
“You know. How hot it is right now.”
“Is it hot?”
“Did you know that dungeon break that happened on Hongdae Street? As you can see, the person who stopped it was that hunter.”
On TV, Min Do-jun was slaughtering rock lizards with overwhelming force.
Shin Hye-ri, who was blankly staring at the sight, muttered softly.
“So that person was the one who stopped the dungeon break… … .”
Even though she didn’t watch the news much, she knew what was happening on the streets of Hongdae.
But what she didn’t know was who exactly had stopped it and how.
In particular, this was my first time seeing the on-site footage.
“Your name is Min Do-jun… … Hunter Min Do-jun?”
She asked her brother, who was chewing over the name of the benefactor she had found out about too late.
“Have you ever met him?”
“Yes. I had a private meal with him.”
“Until dinner… … ?”
“Even so, it’s only once.”
Still, Shin Hye-ri couldn’t help but be surprised at the fact that she had a connection with her older brother.
“How strong is that hunter? As strong as my brother?”
If she can eat with her number one ranked brother, she must be a top-level hunter.
It was a question asked with that in mind, but the answer was unexpected.
“Well, well?”
Shin Hye-ri was quite surprised by that ambiguous answer.
‘Well? My brother said well?’
I didn’t say no outright, so I was like, well…
That’s something that came out of the mouth of the number one ranked player in the country.
‘You mean you might be stronger than your brother…?’
He said as he looked at Shin Kyung-min with eyes demanding an explanation.
“Honestly, I don’t know. I think he’s stronger than me, but I don’t think he is.”
Even Shin Kyung-min couldn’t grasp Min Do-jun’s skills.
“What is certain is that his skills are on par with S-class.”
“S-class equivalent? Does that mean it’s not S-class?”
“Yeah. Hunter Min Do-jun is still an A-class. He’s 1,200 levels lower than me.”
“… … .”
There is a significant gap between Class A and Class S.
Even she, an ordinary person, knew the basics.
‘And yet, you said that your brother saw you as being on the same level as him…?’
If you already acknowledged Min Do-jun, who is 1,200 levels lower, as being of the same level.
‘When you were the same level, it means you became stronger than my brother, right?’
A hunter who may be stronger than her older brother at the same level, although not currently.
That’s how Shin Hye-ri perceived Hunter Min Do-jun.
At the same time, he remembered that it matched his ideal type.
Of course, I quickly realized that it was a ridiculous idea and blushed.
‘What, what am I thinking… … .’
He is a man who saved her life and is trustworthy, but she has not yet had a proper conversation with him.
‘I don’t know if you’re my ideal type until I meet you a few times… ‘
While I was thinking about when I would be able to meet him again, Shin Kyung-min called me.
“Hyeri.”
“Huh?”
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Oh, no. Nothing.”
“The person who saved you, are you sure that you’re the hunter in the video?”
“Yeah. I’m sure. I looked at the face in detail.”
At those words, Shin Kyung-min fell into quiet thought.
‘The hunter who saved my younger brother happened to be Hunter Min Do-jun… … .’
I wondered if such a coincidence could happen again, but decided not to think too deeply about it.
‘I can’t doubt the benefactor who saved my younger brother.’
I had some questions, but I guess we’ll find out when we meet and talk.
“I should call and say thank you.”
When Shin Kyung-min picked up his cell phone, Shin Hye-ri tried to stop him.
“It’s too late now, brother. Let’s do it next time.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Shin Kyung-min, who was shocked by his younger brother’s words, obediently put down his phone.
Without even dreaming that someone was watching him like this.

The moment when Shin Kyung-min and Shin Hye-ri were watching TV.
Min Do-jun, who returned home, lay on the sofa and watched his two siblings comfortably.
The parasite planted in Shin Hye-ri made it possible.
‘I guess I saved you as planned.’
Min Do-jun, who saved Shin Hye-ri, ran away from the scene without even telling her his name.
If Shin Kyung-min doesn’t hear that he saved his life, then all the drama he’s done so far will be for naught.
But Min Do-jun wasn’t worried.
‘Because I know your face.’
Min Do-jun, who recently became famous nationwide after blocking Dungeon Break.
No matter how uninterested Shin Hye-ri is in the news, she will inevitably find out someday.
‘If Shin Hye-ri finds out, Shin Kyung-min will find out too.’
So there was no need to reveal the name.
Because I don’t want to give the impression that I want something and have gotten it for you.
‘You must not make it seem as if you had planned your approach. It was purely a coincidence that you saved me.’
I don’t know what Shin Kyung-min is thinking, but he should be grateful to me for saving his little sister.
Fortunately, Shin Kyung-min didn’t pretend not to know Min Do-jun.
‘It looks like you’ve got the basics down, judging by the fact that you were going to make a thank you call.’
Not only can you observe the situation from Shin Hye-ri’s perspective, you can even eavesdrop on conversations.
Min Do-jun was once again amazed by the ability called Parasite.
‘There is nothing better than surveillance.’
Moreover, by causing pain, he can also use Shin Hye-ri as a tool of blackmail if necessary.
‘I hope that doesn’t happen, though.’
To be honest, I didn’t want to touch the general public as much as possible.
‘By the way, what kind of characteristics did you get?’
Min Do-jun confirmed the trait he took from Na Han-gyu.
[Trait – Courage]
-Grade: D
– Description: When a situation arises where you feel low on confidence, courage arises.
Min Do-jun chuckled at the simple explanation.
‘Is this the thing that will give me courage in any situation?’
It might be better than being insecure, but it didn’t seem to help Min Do-jun that much.
‘Because there’s no reason for your confidence to drop.’
Min Do-jun has not yet reached a point where he could be said to have hit a wall.
There is nothing that requires courage.
‘Anyway, this trait must have played a part in Na Han-gyu’s courage in detonating the magic bullet.’
I also gained a trait and took a hostage as a parasite.
Although not yet, he is expected to gain Shin Kyung-min’s trust as a lifesaver.
Min Do-jun smiled with satisfaction as everything went according to plan.
‘Now all that’s left is to run the dungeon while waiting for Shin Kyung-min’s contact.’
The next plan was to quickly reach level 2,250 and enter the hidden dungeon called the Infinite Tower.
‘Then you can level up several times faster than usual.’
Min Do-jun, who had made a plan, stopped watching and promised to wait until tomorrow.
* * *
As soon as the sun rose, Min Do-jun decided to go to the dungeon.
But I had no choice but to postpone it because I got a call from Shin Kyung-min.
-Hunter Min Do-jun? I’m Shin Kyung-min.
“Yes, I know.”
-Haha, I see you saved my number. That’s good. I think we’ll be in touch often in the future.
“Is that so? But what brought you here so early in the morning…?”
-Oh, I have something urgent to tell you, Hunter. Are you on your way to the dungeon?
“That’s not it.”
-That’s great. Could you spare me a moment? It’s important.
“All right.”
-Thank you. May I know where you are now? I will be there shortly.
“Oh, then would you please come to our guild? There won’t be many people here, so it would be nice to talk.”
-The Guardian Guild, right? Okay. See you later.
After finishing the call, Min Do-jun leisurely waited in the guild office, sipping coffee.
‘We’re leaving now.’
Looking at Shin Kyung-min from Shin Hye-ri’s perspective, it seemed like he was coming with his younger sister.
‘I’ve been waiting. Come quickly.’
As Min Do-jun turned on his tracking skill, the distance was seen to decrease in real time.
Even without the parasite, I could always check the location because I remembered Shin Kyung-min’s scent.
‘You’ve arrived.’
As expected, Shin Kyung-min and Shin Hye-ri entered the office.
“You’re here… … .”
Min Do-jun, who had been looking out the window and pretending to notice something late, turned his head and acted surprised when he saw Shin Hye-ri.
‘How did that woman get here?’
He looked back and forth between Shin Kyung-min and her with that expression.
“Hello, Dojun. Sorry for coming here so early in the morning. I have something urgent to ask you.”
“which…….”
“Do you recognize this woman here?”
When Shin Kyung-min pointed to Shin Hye-ri, Min Do-jun nodded.
“Yes. But, Mr. Kyungmin, how is this person… … .”
“I told you before, right? I have a younger sister. She is my younger sister.”
Min Do-jun, who heard that, made a face as if he had no idea.
It’s not that he didn’t know about their relationship at the moment.
“Your younger sister… was it?”
“Yes. I heard about the situation. You saved my sister.”
“Ah… … Yes. It’s nothing.”
“It’s nothing. You saved my life.”
Then Shin Kyung-min bowed his head deeply.
Shin Hye-ri also bowed her head.
“Thank you so much for saving my little brother.”
“Thank you for saving me.”
Min Do-jun looked embarrassed as if he felt burdened by the greeting of his siblings.
“I just happened to save you. This shouldn’t have happened.”
“But you saved my life, so I should thank you. But I heard that you ran away… … .”
“Oh, I did that to avoid the annoying situation where people were crowding around.”
“I see. But can you tell me more about what happened? My brother only saw a limited amount of things, so there are some things he doesn’t understand.”
“Oh, that could be the case.”
Min Do-jun readily explained the situation at the time.
“I saw a suspicious man following my younger sibling on the way back from clearing a nearby A-class dungeon. There was another man there too… … .”
Shin Kyung-min, who was listening to the story, nodded.
‘That’s right. There was a Class A dungeon nearby, right?’
He shouldn’t think that way, but Shin Kyung-min was honestly suspicious of Min Do-jun.
It’s unlikely that the hunter who saved his younger brother at a good time would be a hunter he knows.
But after hearing Min Do-jun’s explanation, I was able to understand it to some extent.
‘It was just a coincidence.’
If he had just saved me while passing by, I would have been suspicious, but since he said it happened while coming out of an A-class dungeon, I thought it could have just been a coincidence.
‘I guess I was suspicious for nothing.’
Shin Kyung-min’s neck turned red at the fact that he had doubted, even for a moment, the person who had saved his life with pure intentions.
“… … That’s how it happened.”
Min Do-jun’s explanation of the situation has ended.
The situation that followed was similar to what I heard from my younger sister.
“Hyeri.”
“huh?”
“I have something to say to you alone, Hunter. Could you step aside for a moment?”
“Oh, I see.”
Shin Hye-ri glanced at Min Do-jun and left the office.
“Hunter.”
“Yes, Mr. Kyungmin.”
“My only blood relative is my younger sister. Thank you again for protecting my only family.”
“No problem.”
“So, if there’s anything you want, please tell me. I’ll have to repay you.”
Min Do-jun waved his hand at the word reward.
“You don’t have to do that. I didn’t do it for compensation.”
“I think so. If not, you wouldn’t have run away from the scene like that. Still, I must repay you. The favor I received from you, Hunter, is too great.”
Shin Kyung-min was sincere.
There was no longer any doubt left.
“Small gifts don’t suit my taste… … How much should I give you? No. If it’s money, I’m sure you have a lot of it, Hunter… … .”
Shin Kyung-min, who had been thinking for a moment, continued speaking.
“It’s a secret, but… … I have a personal dungeon?”
“yes?”
“I’d like to share that with you, Hunter… … What do you think?”
