Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 47
47. Suspicious feeling
One more person came out of the Korean beef restaurant.
“Where have you been?”
“I’m a little late because I had to go to the bathroom!”
He naturally blended in with the crowd.
‘It’s him!’
It was Yang Seung-hyun.
‘Fortunately, you were attending the meeting.’
Feeling that the wait was worth it, he gave instructions to his younger brother.
‘Smell that guy walking at the end.’
[Wong!]
Let’s use the ghost wolf’s secret tracking skill on Yang Seung-hyun.
[The summoner remembered the smell.]
[Changed to a new target.]
[Detects location in real time.]
The target of the investigation has changed from Do Kyung-won to Yang Seung-hyun.
‘That’s all for now.’
Min Do-jun turned his back and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd.
There was no need to follow the crowd.
‘You can target Yang Seung-hyun next time.’
Now is not the time to be mixing with government officials.
‘I can’t even guarantee that I can beat Seunghyun Yang, who is over level 1,200.’
It’s not too late to aim after the guy becomes strong enough.
Now that I’ve remembered the smell, I can track it down at any time.
Literally anytime.
* * *
Ten days have passed since I remembered Yang Seung-hyun’s smell.
Meanwhile, Min Do-jun was obsessed with leveling up.
‘I can finally escape the Sijosae dungeon.’
After hunting tirelessly, I was able to reach level 750.
[Level up!]
[Promoted to Class B!]
[One skill slot is added.]
After seeing the message, Min Do-jun quickly cleared the dungeon and left.
“Thank you for your hard work, Hunter!”
As usual, Park Dong-yoon came out to greet us with a respectful attitude.
“Please go to the center to have the items serviced.”
“Oh, did you happen to get promoted to Class B?”
“yes.”
“Oh, congratulations!”
Park Dong-yoon was delighted as if it were his own business.
That would be the case, since it was the birth of the only B-class hunter from the Ilsan branch.
‘I’m the only B-class hunter in charge!’
In a situation where even a C-rank hunter would leave for the guild, attracting a B-rank hunter was truly something to celebrate.
If you do well, you could even expect a special promotion.
“Hunter! We knew this would happen, so we prepared a gift for you at our center.”
“Is it a gift?”
In times like these, you must not be complacent and must maintain your relationship until the end.
It was an order from above, and the gift was a bribe to keep Min Do-jun at bay.
“Here it is.”
When I opened the shopping bag, there was a nicely wrapped gift box inside.
[Intermediate Random Box]
-Category: Consumables
– Grade: B
-Effect: Randomly obtain C~A grade items
-Usage Restrictions: Level 750 or higher
-Description: A carefully wrapped gift box containing an unknown gift.
“Is this a mid-level random box?”
“Yes. You’ve received it before, right? It was lower-level, though… … .”
“Yes. It was useful back then.”
It wasn’t just useful.
Thanks to the random box, I got a rare ghost wolf in the world.
“Haha, I’m glad you said that. I hope you come up with something useful this time too. We worked hard to get it.”
I know.
How hard is it to get a random box when demand is high and supply is low?
In particular, the mid-level random boxes cost over 300 million each.
“I will gratefully accept it.”

That’s why Min Do-jun expressed his gratitude with sincerity.
“We have arrived.”
“Thank you for your hard work, sir. I’m planning to take a break for the time being.”
“Of course you’ve become a B-class, so you should get some rest.”
Min Do-jun got out of the car and went into the center to sell magic stones.
Every time I stopped by the center, they were selling it from time to time.
“There are 10 C-class and 12 B-class.”
The B-grade magic stone was obtained by catching a proto-bird and could be sold for 120 million won each.
“The total is 1.86 billion won.”
Even though it was a huge sum of money that would make anyone’s mouth drop open, Min Do-jun maintained an indifferent expression.
As a result of his consistent saving, he already had close to 7 billion won in his account.
“Come again!”
Leaving the appraiser’s greeting behind, Min Do-jun headed to the Hunter Wholesale Market.
To celebrate becoming a B-class, you must upgrade your equipment.
‘Even so, there’s not much to buy.’
There wasn’t anything special to change other than the weapon, helmet, and shoes.
Because the rest were exclusive items that were much better than those sold in the store.
‘Equipment window.’
[Weapon – Longsword imbued with magic]
[Helmet – Helmet imbued with magic]
[Armor – Ancient Armor]
[Gloves – Magic Control Gauntlets]
[Shoes – Magic Boots]
[Necklace – Necklace of a solo conqueror]
[Ring 1 – Liberated Ruby Ring]
[Ring 2 – Liberated Emerald Ring]
‘I think this is enough for the items.’
The next thing Min Do-jun bought was a skill level enhancement stone.
“The four together are 320 million, sir.”
With 4 reinforcement stones, I raised all skills except Ghost Wolf from C to B.
The Ghost Wolf was already a B-rank, so it couldn’t be upgraded.
[Mana Skin’s defense has increased from 450% to 500% of magic power!]
[Enchant Sword’s damage amplification effect has increased from 12% to 15%!]
[Mana Sword damage increased from 125% to 150% of magic power!]
[Fire Blast damage increased from 350% to 400% of magic power!]
‘With this, all skills are B-rank.’
Finally, Min Do-jun bought a skill book.
[Skill – Invisibility]
– Grade: B
-Effect: The body and objects that touch the body become transparent for a certain period of time.
– Duration: 10% of magic power (seconds)
-Cool time: 1 hour
-Usage Restrictions: Level 750 or higher
– Description: With this skill, you can become invisible. However, do not use it to satisfy personal desires. It is canceled when attacking or using a skill. If the opponent’s combat power is higher than yours, you may be discovered.
‘The newly created skill slot is decided by this.’
A skill similar to the stealth skill used by Jo Gyu-chan.
The difference is that the duration of stealth is determined by reflexes, but this is determined by magic power.
‘The current magic power is 1,106, so it should last for 110 seconds.’
However, since the cooldown is 1 hour, it is not a skill that can be used often in battle.
But there is only one reason why Min Do-jun learns this.
‘I should start tracking down Yang Seung-hyun.’
When it comes to tracking down a bastard, nothing is better than invisibility.
It’s good for a surprise attack and also useful when running away.
‘I need to tail the guy and come up with a plan on how to kill him.’
I wasn’t following him with the intention of killing him right away.
‘That guy’s level is too high to kill.’
It’s still not certain whether we can win.
I was planning to first gather information and then take it slow.
Because all Min Do-jun knew about Yang Seung-hyun was the trivial information that he was a civil servant hunter.
[Distance from target 98.93km]
‘It’s quite far.’
Min Do-jun caught a taxi after assessing the distance and direction.
The taxi fare would have been around 100,000 won, but I didn’t feel bad about it.
After all, it was just pocket change.
Min Do-jun got out of the taxi after arriving at his destination.
As I walked a little further and narrowed the distance, a two-story building came into view.
[Yangpyeong Hunter Management Center]
‘It must be in there.’
It was smaller than the centers located around Seoul.
‘I’ve been in once. I think it’ll be okay to come back?’
These small places are vulnerable to security threats because they do not store or purchase magic stones.
Besides, there won’t be many hunters.
‘I’ll just wait for him to come out.’
It’s almost lunchtime, so he’ll be out with his colleagues.
As expected, people came out in droves, and I saw a guy stuck in the middle of them.
As expected, they are moving somewhere, probably to have lunch.
‘Now is the chance.’
Min Do-jun used invisibility in a place where there was no CCTV.
Slurp-
His body turned pale, as if he had become a ghost.
Even if you can see it vaguely, others won’t be able to see even a single hair.
As evidence, he encountered several staff members upon entering the center, but none of them recognized Min Do-jun.
‘Most of the people working at the center are ordinary people, so there’s no need to worry about getting caught.’
If you’re a hunter, you might be able to see through Min Do-jun’s invisibility, but there aren’t many hunters residing at the center.
Two or three at most?
To that extent, the number of civil servant hunters assigned to each branch is extremely small.
Small branches may have only one person, or none at all.
‘It’s safe now.’
Now that the hunters had gone to lunch, no one inside the center noticed Min Do-jun’s invisibility.
He sneaked into the open office and found Yang Seung-hyun’s seat.
It wasn’t difficult to find a civil servant hunter position among the few available positions.
[Hunter Yang Seung-hyun]
A seat that even has your name written on it.
I looked around to see if there was any information I could get there.
‘I guess Thursday is a day off.’
There was no information about it other than it being marked as a day off on the calendar.
[35 seconds left]
I got out before the transparency was broken.
I went in and out of the center for about two minutes and no one caught me.
‘It probably wasn’t caught on CCTV.’
It may seem lax, but this is how the security of a small hunter management center is.
We continued to tail him to get more information.
The guy who had lunch at the noodle restaurant returned to the center and didn’t come out until dinner time.
‘It looks like you really have nothing to do.’
There is nothing for a hunter to do while sitting at his desk.
Just waiting in case something happens.
The fact that he didn’t show his nose until dinnertime means he’s been stuck in the office the whole time.
‘I understand why Do Kyung-won recommended the civil servant hunter.’
But Min Do-jun was still not interested in the civil servant hunter.
Wasting time doing nothing did not suit his personality.
Finally, at 7 p.m., Yang Seung-hyun came out.
The guy’s actions after that were ordinary.
After having dinner with my coworkers at a nearby pork belly restaurant and going to a karaoke bar for a second round, I didn’t come out until midnight.
I followed him quietly in a taxi, but the place he was headed to was a nearby apartment.
Once I went home, there was nothing I could get information about.
‘But did you at least find out the guy’s home address?’
Min Do-jun, who returned home, went to sleep, hoping to get some plausible information the next time he went on a stalking mission.
* * *
It must have been around 4 in the morning.
Min Do-jun opened his eyes for a moment and got up to drink some water.
I called my brother while I was drinking cold water from the refrigerator.
It was to figure out Yang Seung-hyun’s possible movements.
‘Ouch, tracking target confirmed.’
[Awww!]
Min Do-jun was surprised by the distance between himself and the object that came to mind.
[Distance from target 14.91km]
‘It was 100km before I went to bed?’
The distance between Yang Seung-hyun’s house and Min Do-jun’s house is about 100km.
But the fact that the distance has changed means that the guy has moved.
‘Where are you and what are you doing at this hour of the morning?’
It’s probably not like you’re running a dungeon.
Because the distance is set.
But it’s not a day off either.
‘It’s still a long way until Thursday.’
The guy who has to go to work in the morning went out at dawn?
I had a strange feeling.
‘It’s closer than you think, so it’s not too late to follow.’
15km is 30 minutes by car.
Min Do-jun called a taxi and went out.
“Please go to Hwajon Station.”
Min Do-jun got off near his destination and ran following the ghost wolf’s guidance.
Tadadadad-!
As my strength level approached 700, my running speed exceeded that of an average person.
If it weren’t for the deserted early morning, it would have attracted people’s attention.
After running for a while, Min Do-jun slowed down.
‘Are you in the mountains?’
Looking at the direction, it seems to be located in a place called Mangwolsan.
Min Do-jun started climbing the mountain following the ghost wolf.
[112m distance from target]
As we got closer, I approached cautiously, trying to make as little noise as possible.
‘What on earth are you doing in a place like this?’
The doubt was erased the moment the distance was shortened to 30m.
‘Yang Seung-hyun!’
Because I found him.
A guy with someone.
