Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 38
38. Bet
The first thing Min Do-jun did when he got home was to take a shower.
It was because I had been outside for half a day and the smell of Kang Cheol-gyu’s blood was unpleasant.
“Whew, that feels refreshing.”
But somehow my heart was filled with emptiness.
‘I’ve only killed three people so far. I have to kill twelve more.’
Even though it happened before the return, Min Do-jun’s determination to get revenge did not waver.
Because the memories from just before I died were still vivid.
‘Yerin… … .’
In particular, the death of Cha Ye-rin, with whom he had promised to spend his life, is unforgettable.
‘These little bastards… …!’
Every time he thought of her death, Min Do-jun’s heart burned with revenge.
‘We don’t need a coup or anything. They deserve to die just for ruining my life and Yerin’s.’
Preventing and eliminating risks that may occur in the future, even if they have not yet occurred.
That’s what Min Do-jun was doing and what he had to do.
‘By the way, I didn’t even check the inventory because I was running away from the scene.’
Min Do-jun belatedly looked at the items he had captured from Kang Cheol-gyu.
The sword, hammer, and other equipment he used.
A total of 11 pieces of equipment were received, but none of them had a magic option.
‘I have to sell the two C-class magic stones I got from that guy, and the skill book… … .’
The skill book was also a warrior skill that Min Do-jun didn’t need.
‘A collectible came in… … .’
Min Do-jun’s eyes widened as he finally saw the collection.
[Ancient Stone Tablets]
-Category: Collections
– Grade: B
-Feature: Bound item
-Description: An old and worn-out looking stone slab. Archaeologists would probably love it.
‘This is beyond my expectations!’
Min Do-jun’s face, which had been filled with disappointment until now, brightened.
Because it was exactly the item he wanted.
‘I never thought I’d get the item I was trying to get.’
After killing Kang Cheol-gyu, Min Do-jun was planning to attack the B-class dungeon where the red-beaked scorpion appears.
And there, they planned to massacre the Archaeopteryx in order to obtain the ancient stone tablets that were said to have a low probability of appearing.
‘But now that I’ve gotten it like this, I don’t have to work hard to get it.’
If Kang Cheol-gyu had not been lucky enough to have it, he would have had to catch thousands of scorpions.
‘By the way, you can even steal the bound items… … .’
The reason Min Do-jun was able to steal Kang Cheol-gyu’s items was because of his hunter trait.
If it weren’t for this, I would never have been able to get the bound item.
‘The characteristics are the same.’
Min Do-jun confirmed the newly developed trait.
[Trait – Weakness Detection]
-Rating: S
-Description: You can figure out your opponent’s fighting style and weaknesses.
‘Is this why Kang Cheol-gyu fought so well?’
Min Do-jun secretly compared him to Seok Ho-cheol as he watched him block his attacks time and time again.
‘When he killed Seok Ho-cheol, his level was also 550. Same as Kang Cheol-gyu.’
But Seok Ho-cheol seemed to have been killed relatively easily.
‘There was a reason for it all.’
It turns out that Kang Cheol-gyu’s fighting sense, which I thought was a talent, was all thanks to his special trait.
But Min Do-jun didn’t know.
That his weaknesses were invisible to Kang Cheol-gyu.
‘Find out the weaknesses… … .’
It was definitely a good trait, but it didn’t seem to be useful against monsters.
Because I already knew more about monsters than anyone else.
‘Still, it will be helpful when dealing with hunters.’
Unlike monsters, there isn’t much information about hunters, so you can expect help from their characteristics.
‘Anyway, it turned out well.’
The corners of Min Do-jun’s mouth curled up to one side.
* * *
In order to stop the monsters that threaten humanity, the government spared no support for hunters.
In addition to exempting them from taxes, they established Hunter Management Centers across the country and supported hunters with various curricula and benefits.
To help us catch monsters better.
So that the hunters can protect the country well.
However, the hunters did not always do good things.
“Damn, another murder case?”
Sometimes, I would have accidents like this.

“Oh, is the class president here?”
“Just briefly and easily understand what’s going on.”
“There are three witnesses. They said they heard a loud noise in the alley and went to find him dead. Judging by the wounds that looked like stab wounds, it is presumed to be a murder. The perpetrator must have already run away so they haven’t seen him.”
“Who is the victim?”
“My name is Kang Cheol-gyu. I’m 21 years old and a hunter from the Wanted Guild. He’s a promising hunter that the guild is pushing.”
“The hunter is dead? Then the assailant must be a hunter too.”
“Probably so. Normal people can’t even give a living wound to a hunter.”
“Did you contact the Hunter Association?”
“Yes. He will be here shortly.”
“What about exploring the surrounding area?”
“Also, additional witnesses came forward during the investigation.”
“Additional witnesses?”
“Yes. We were a couple and we were assaulted by the dead victim here.”
“Tell me more.”
The detective relayed to the foreman what he had heard without adding or subtracting anything.
From the dead victim picking a fight in front of the bathroom to assaulting and even threatening to rape his girlfriend.
The class president’s face turned red as he listened.
“This guy was a total piece of trash, huh?”
“Hey, captain. I’ll listen to someone else.”
“So anyway? How did you escape?”
“I was almost strangled to death when someone showed up and helped me. They said it was a man with a sword, but I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a hat and mask.”
“He killed him?”
“That’s likely. The witness said that shortly after he left, he heard sounds like a fight… … .”
That was when.
“I’m sorry for interrupting you.”
A man dressed in a neat suit appeared, presenting his ID card.
“I am Team Leader Kim Sang-yeop from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Korean Hunter Association. Could you tell me more about your story?”
The detective reported the case exactly as he had done to the squad leader.
“It’s a murder case… … Can I see the body?”
Kim Sang-yeop and the detectives examined Kang Cheol-gyu’s body.
“It’s a stab wound. As you said, it’s true that a hunter fought a hunter. And this is confidential… … .”
Kim Sang-yeop pointed to the X on his chest.
“Judging by these markings, it is highly likely that this is a recent serial murder.”
“Yeah, serial killer?”
“Yes. These days, there’s a crazy guy who kills hunters and leaves marks like this.”
“Leaving a mark… … Why would you do something like that… … .”
“It’s a signature that serial killers often leave behind. It reveals their identity.”
“Couldn’t it just be a coincidence? Is there any evidence that they’re the same person?”
“This sign is the evidence. The location and size of the line are the same as in the previous incident.”
“What are the chances that he is a copycat?”
“I told you, it’s confidential. There’s no way he’s a copycat. And it doesn’t matter whether he’s a copycat or not.”
Kim Sang-yeop smiled sincerely.
“Anyone who gets caught will be the culprit.”

[Wanted Guild’s promising hunter, attacked by a strange man, dies]
‘hmm?’
Min Do-jun found an interesting article while looking at his smartphone and touched the title.
[A promising hunter from the Wanted Guild, Kang Mo (21), was found dead in an alley in Bupyeong the evening of the day before yesterday. Based on the stab wound and eyewitness testimony, police authorities said that it is presumed that he was murdered by someone.
Meanwhile, according to Mr. A, who revealed himself as a witness and victim, at the time, Mr. Kang was assaulting Mr. A for bumping shoulders and threatening to rape his girlfriend, Ms. B, after knocking her unconscious. However, a man with his face covered appeared and saved the two.
Because of this, the association is reporting that it was a murder caused by resentment, and Mr. Kang’s friends and Wanted guild members who heard about the incident are unable to recover from the shock…
Min Do-jun, who was reading the article, saw the comment.
└Isn’t he the promising candidate of the Wanted Guild? Okay?
└That’s right, Kang Cheol-gyu. I’m also a hunter and belong to a different guild, but when I asked my manager, he said it was true.
└If it’s a Wanted guild, it’s a really good guild, but what’s going on?
└I heard that there’s chaos in that guild right now.
└One person died, huh?
└But isn’t that insulting a dead person?
└Didn’t you read the article? That son of a bitch Kang Cheol-gyu assaulted a civilian and tried to sexually assault his girlfriend. And some man saved him.
└That was a total f*cking s**t.
└So the man who saved you killed Kang Cheol-gyu and ran away?
└ㅇㅇ.
└He’s a total hero.
‘What is a hero?’
Min Do-jun looked away from his smartphone in embarrassment.
‘I just killed him when the opportunity arose.’
Anyway, it was a good thing.
‘I didn’t get caught.’
Looking at the article, it seemed like there weren’t any significant clues about the suspect.
‘We’ll have to wait and see to find out.’
I covered my face and changed and burned the clothes I was wearing yesterday on the way home.
Even if his movements were captured on CCTV, it would be difficult to identify him.
‘I tried my best to avoid getting caught and acted carefully, so there’s no way I’ll get caught.’
If caught, Min Do-jun’s revenge ends here.
Besides, Kang Cheol-gyu will not be charged with murder alone.
‘They’ll even throw in the murder charges that have been going on at the Black Sea Guild.’
Of course, Min Do-jun had no intention of doing that.
‘As long as you don’t get caught, that’s fine.’
At that moment, Park Dong-yoon’s voice erased my thoughts.
“We have arrived!”
Currently, Min Do-jun has come to the Red Beak Sijos Dungeon with Park Dong-yoon.
Some came to hunt, but there were other reasons as well.
‘I’ve found the ancient stone tablet, so I should try using it.’
Min Do-jun waited for a while without getting out of the car.
Because it was a dungeon that was already in use.
“Hunter. Did you have a good rest for the past two days?”
“yes.”
“I thought it would take a few days since you said you were going to rest for a while, but you’re already contacting me… … .”
“I guess the person in charge wanted to rest a little more too?”
“Haha, I’m human too… … .”
“Can’t you just temporarily assign someone else to take a few days off?”
“Oh my, that can’t be! I have to take care of you, Hunter. No one else can touch you. Hehe.”
“Oh, I see you’re out now.”
Min Do-jun got out of the car while watching the four people coming out of the dungeon.
As he was putting on his gear and preparing to go in, the hunters recognized Min Do-jun.
“Huh? Are you by any chance the person who blocked the dungeon break in Gongju City?”
“I think it’s right? The faces are exactly the same!”
It looks like his face has been sold out quite a bit in videos uploaded to YouTube.
Min Do-jun nodded, hiding his annoyance.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Wow, somehow! Nice to meet you!”
“You said you were level 150, what are you doing here?”
“Idiot, that was two months ago.”
“Huh? So you’ve already become a B-class in the meantime?”
B-class is from level 750 to level 1,500.
The entry level for the Shijosae dungeon is 500, but the rank is B.
Of course, I was saying this because it is common to get to level 750 or higher.
“No. It’s level 500.”
“Huh? Is that all there is to it?”
“You’re still a C-rank, and yet you’re in the Shijosae dungeon… … .”
“No, level 500 in two months? That’s incredibly fast.”
Surprised or not, as Min Do-jun prepared to go in, the hunters looked around.
“Huh? Are there any other party members?”
“Are you sure you’re not going in alone?”
“yes.”
The hunters looked surprised at that answer, but that only lasted a moment.
“Is this your first time coming in? Don’t go in. You’ll die if you do.”
“That’s right. There are four of us, and we barely managed to conquer it.”
“You said you were level 500. Do you know how many we are? We’re in the late 700s.”
“Go to the Tarantula Dungeon. This isn’t the time to come here.”
He began to secretly ignore Min Do-jun while trying to stop him from entering.
“And besides, your occupation is a swordsman.”
“As far as I know, the swordsman is considered trash… … .”
“Entering a 4-person dungeon alone is crazy.”
“No, let’s listen, let’s listen, these people… … .”
When Park Dong-yoon, who was listening from the side, tried to step forward, Min Do-jun raised his hand to stop him.
“Thank you all for your concern, but I will take care of it.”
“Then your life will end… … .”
“Then do you want to make a bet with me?”
“A bet?”
“If I win the battle, please send me 200 million won each.”
“What if I can’t do it?”
“I’ll give you each 500 million won. Oh, and since I won’t be able to send you the money if I die, let’s set up a scheduled transfer. That’ll be fine, right?”
The hunters looked dumbfounded.
‘What the heck? This crazy guy?’
How confident you are to make a bet you can’t afford to lose.
“Really?”
“Yes. Now that we’re on the subject, I’ll do it now. Of course, on the condition that you accept the bet.”
“Just a moment. Let’s discuss this amongst ourselves… .”
The hunters gathered in one place and chatted.
“What do you want to do?”
“What should I do? I have to accept the offer!”
“Then if that kid dies, isn’t it our responsibility?”
“What about our responsibility? He brought this on himself.”
“There’s something fishy about the way you come off so confident… … .”
“Hey, honestly, do you think you’d lose if you bet?”
The hunters all shook their heads.
“I think that kid is just trying to be proud. He’s acting like that because we exchanged a few words.”
“Now that I hear it, it seems like that might be the case.”
“Anyway, I’ll do it. It’s my chance to steal 500 million from that little bastard.”
The other hunters’ eyes also turned at the word 500 million.
“I want to do it too.”
“me too!”
Everyone came to an agreement and approached Min Do-jun.
“Have you made a decision?”
“Before you answer, let me make this clear. If you die, it’s not our fault, right?”
“Of course.”
“Then I will accept.”
“Then please tell me each of your account numbers.”
Min Do-jun confirmed the transfer by directly making the reservation in front of the hunters.
“Now, even if I die, the money will be transferred without any problems. Of course, if I clear the dungeon, the reservation will be canceled and you will have to transfer the money.”
“Hehehe, I don’t think that will happen.”
“Well, we’ll see. Then let’s go in.”
As Min Do-jun said that and walked towards the entrance of the dungeon, the hunters burst into laughter.
“Wow, I never thought I would make this much money?”
“500 million! This is totally a steal! Hehe.”
“Either I die or I get penalized and come out. It’s one of the two.”
“Since the time limit is 6 hours, I’m taking a nap.”
I could already hear them talking as if they had won the bet, but I paid no attention.
‘Laugh as much as you want. You won’t be able to laugh in three hours.’
Min Do-jun laughed and entered the dungeon.
