Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 46
46. Civil servant hunter
‘Do Kyung-won Hunter?’
He was a civil servant hunter from the princess branch, and he was the man I saw when I was blocking the dungeon break.
‘I remembered your name since we met three months ago, but I never thought I’d see you again in a place like this.’
Do Kyung-won approached and extended his hand.
“Nice to meet you, Min Do-jun. We’re old friends, right?”
“Yes. Are you Hunter Do Kyung-won?”
“Haha, you even remember my name. That feels good.”
Do Kyung-won joined naturally.
“This guy said he met Dojun. Was it true?”
“Look, senior. I told you we really know each other.”
Min Do-jun looked at Hwang Ui-cheol as if wondering what was going on with the two people.
“Oh, that’s right. I told you that I know you, so you asked me to set up a place for you. That’s why I asked you to meet up and see my face.”
As it turned out, Hwang Ui-cheol and Do Kyung-won were close seniors and juniors.
Originally, the hunter industry did not discriminate between seniors and juniors, but there was an exception for civil servant hunters.
“Was it 3 months ago? I thought it was because this guy was talking about a legendary hunter appearing, but it turns out it was Dojun talking about you.”
“When I said that a level 150 player had killed 80 werewolves on his own, my senior didn’t believe me. And when I told him that I was a swordsman, he got angry.”
“Dojun, are you really a swordsman? I looked it up because they said there was a video on YouTube, but I have to believe it.”
“Yes. I am the swordsman.”
After hearing the answer from Min Do-jun, Hwang Ui-cheol looked at him with a curious look.
“In my 10 years of experience, I’ve seen people try to become a swordsman, but I’ve never seen anyone succeed. It looks like you’ve succeeded.”
“Dojun-ssi, that’s a total success! It’s only been three months since then, and you’ve already reached level 700.”
Min Do-jun said to Do Kyung-won, embarrassed by the compliments he received so quickly.
“By the way, why did you want to meet me? Is there something you want to say?”
Hunters do not move without understanding.
It’s probably not because he’s a fan that he asked me to see him.
“I just wanted to make a scouting offer.”
“Scouting offer?”
“Kyungwon, is that why you came here?”
It looks like Hwang Ui-cheol didn’t know either.
Do Kyung-won straightened his clothes and spoke in a serious tone.
“Mr. Min Do-jun, I’d like to make a formal offer. Would you like to join our branch as a civil servant hunter?”
“hmm…….”
Min Do-jun was worried.
It wasn’t because the offer to become a civil servant hunter was tempting.
‘Yang Seung-hyun. That guy was a civil servant hunter.’
I was wondering how I could take advantage of this situation.
‘I need the help of a civil servant hunter to contact Yang Seung-hyun… … .’
Originally, I planned to meet Hwang Ui-cheol when the time came and try to get him to flirt with me.
To establish contact with Yang Seung-hyun.
‘But if I approach him first, he might be suspected later when he dies.’
Rather than that, it would be better to see a picture of them inviting Min Do-jun on their own.
There is also less cause for suspicion.
‘It’s not the time yet, but I can’t miss this opportunity.’
I absolutely had no intention of accepting the offer.
However, that doesn’t mean you should just reject it outright.
All you have to do is pretend to be interested.
like this.
“I know that civil servant hunters have to take a qualification exam?”
“Of course, but in the case of branch office selection, it can be omitted as an exception. However, this is only if the conditions are met.”
“What are the conditions?”
“If you have achieved something worth remembering in the area that the branch is in charge of, cleared dungeons higher than your rank solo more than 30 times, or have skills equivalent to B-rank, you can pass without taking the test. Of course, Mr. Do-jun can get a free pass since he meets all the conditions.”
“hmm…….”
It sounds like you have enough qualifications.
But as he was resting his chin on his hand and deep in thought, Do Kyung-won seemed to think this was the moment and appealed to his strengths.
“If you become a civil servant hunter, you won’t have to hunt as hard as you do now. You’ll get a regular salary from the government. But the salary isn’t small either.”
“How much is it?”
“It varies depending on the rank and level, but in Do-jun’s case, his monthly salary will be 120 million won. If you calculate it as an annual salary, it will be over 1.4 billion won.”
It’s certainly not a small amount of money.
But in Min Do-jun’s eyes, it’s far from enough.
‘I have over 6 billion won in my account right now.’
That means he earned 6 billion in 4 months, so the civil servant hunter’s income couldn’t help but seem small.
Moreover, as your level increases, your future earnings will also increase.
On the other hand, it is difficult for civil servant hunters to level up.
‘Personal hunting is prohibited during work hours.’
Due to the nature of my job, which requires me to always be on standby to prevent dungeon breaks, I couldn’t go hunting on my own even if I had time.
If you want to hunt, you must do it after work hours or on your off days.

‘That’s the biggest problem.’
For Min Do-jun, who had to level up and become stronger as soon as possible, regardless of money, there was absolutely no reason to become a civil servant hunter.
Nevertheless, Do Kyung-won was speaking passionately, perhaps because he thought Min Do-jun was showing some interest.
“The main job of a civil servant hunter is to reset the break time of a dungeon that no one has conquered. However, this is only done about twice a week, and most people are waiting, so it is quite easy. In other words, it also means that you can make money safely.”
Although it emphasizes safety, the profits are low and leveling up is slow.
Although he was aware of these shortcomings, Min Do-jun did not bother to point them out.
Instead, he asked questions with curious eyes.
“How many civil servant hunters are there across the country?”
“There are about 500 people now.”
“It’s not that long?”
“Yes. That’s why we sell when we receive support requests from other branches. We also have a network of contacts for exchanging opinions.”
“Is that why you know the teacher even though you are from a different branch?”
“Rather than that… … there is a social gathering for civil servant hunters, and I met you there and became close with you.”
“They’re having a social gathering too… … .”
Do Kyung-won quickly took the bait at the voice that seemed to show some envy.
“There’s a meeting tonight anyway. Would you like to come with us, Min Do-jun?”
“Yes? Me?”
“Yes. I came here two hours from Gongju City to see Dojun, but also because of the meeting I’m having today.”
Min Do-jun looked surprised, but it was just an act.
‘You’ve been caught.’
He took the bait he threw out beautifully.
‘I always knew that civil servant hunters had a social gathering.’
So, I intentionally led the conversation naturally so that the topic of meetings came up.
‘But I never thought there would be a meeting today.’
It was just a bait to get information about the next meeting, but the harvest was more than expected.
‘I don’t plan on attending the meeting though.’
Min Do-jun said in a cautious voice.
“Ah… … But wouldn’t it be weird if I were to join that position? I’m not even a civil servant.”
“It’s okay. I’m just saying hello in advance as a prospective civil servant. If it’s too much of a hassle, you can just show your face for a little while.”
“But I don’t think I should go. I haven’t decided yet whether I want to become a civil servant.”
“If that’s true… … .”
Do Kyung-won licked his lips as if he was disappointed by Min Do-jun’s rejection.
‘Tch, if you had said you were coming, I would have tried to convince you somehow by sitting you down… … .’
Min Do-jun smiled to himself as he looked at him with a regretful expression.
‘Judging by your attitude, if you had said you were going, it wouldn’t have been easy to get out.’
The meeting was rejected, but the purpose was achieved.
Because I figured out when we’re going to have the meeting.
‘Now all that remains is the location.’
Finding the location was easy.
‘Ah, use tracking skill on Do Kyung-won.’
[Wong!]
I made the ghost wolf I had summoned earlier sniff out Do Kyung-won’s scent.
[The summoner used a tracking skill.]
[The summoner remembered the smell.]
[Detects location in real time.]
[1m distance from target]
‘Now all that’s left is to break up like this and secretly follow Do Kyung-won in the evening.’
This way, if a problem arises later, it will be possible to find out the meeting place without being suspected.
After that, the three people who had been chatting away stood up.
As we talked, a lot of time passed.
The three people who left the cafe shook hands.
“It was nice meeting you, Dojun.”
“It was nice to meet you too.”
“Civil servant hunter, please think positively for once.”
“I will do that.”
“Dojun, even if you’re busy, let’s see each other like this sometimes.”
“Okay, teacher. See you next time.”
Min Do-jun blankly stared at the backs of the two people walking.
Then I turned around without any hesitation.
‘You can do the tracking in the evening.’
Min Do-jun returned home and rested, looking out the window.
The spider is falling.
It’s time to take action.
I went out wearing comfortable clothes and a hat pulled down low.
[Distance from target 34.91km]
I got my bearings and caught a taxi.
I got out of the taxi when the distance narrowed to about 2km.
‘Hey, guide me.’
[king!]
From here on out, I walked slowly, following the ghost wolf.
As I walked like this, my heart started pounding like it did when I was chasing Kang Cheol-gyu.
If you continue like this, you may encounter multiple targets.
Of course, the target of our current pursuit was Do Kyung-won, but wherever he was, Yang Seung-hyun would be there.
‘What if it’s not there?’
The probability that Yang Seung-hyun will not show up to the social gathering.
It’s not that there aren’t any.
Just because it’s a meeting doesn’t mean the attendance rate will be 100%.
Besides, not all 500 people will be gathered in one place.
We will have the meeting divided into several parts.
‘If you’re interested in socializing, there’s a good chance you’ll come out… … .’
If not, we will have to consider an alternative.
‘I can’t help but hope he comes out.’
As I walked with that mindset, I soon found myself approaching my destination.
[28m distance from target]
‘Is that it?’
I stopped walking and looked around, and there was a Korean beef restaurant.
It was a meeting place for civil servant hunters.
‘I guess I borrowed it all.’
I could see people bustling around through the window.
They will all be civil servant hunters.
I took a seat in an inconspicuous place and watched the entrance.
There is no need to go all the way into the restaurant.
It’s better to wait for them to come out on their own than to go in and risk being caught.
1 hour, 2 hours.
As a result of waiting without taking my eyes off them, people who were presumed to be civil servant hunters appeared.
Among the group was Do Kyung-won, who I had met during the day.
‘What about Yang Seung-hyun?’
I looked at the faces of nearly 50 people without fail, but I couldn’t find anyone who resembled Yang Seung-hyun.
‘None?’
Even though I don’t know much about Yang Seung-hyun, I remember his face clearly.
Because it was a unique face with slitted eyes and a protruding mouth.
‘Is it really not there?’
I searched thoroughly again, but it wasn’t among the crowd.
The car is moving away, feeling disappointed inside.
‘What should I do? Should I follow?’
I wondered if I should continue to follow him even after confirming that he was not there.
It was just then.
