Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 63
63. Shiny Tiger Skin Armor
After completing the strategy, Min Do-jun and his team returned to the Cheongryong Guild after three hours.
“Are you sure I don’t need to give you a ride home?”
“Yes, the person in charge said he would come pick you up.”
As we declined the manager’s offer and prepared to leave, Kim Jin-woo and his group came over to say goodbye.
“Mr. Dojun, thank you for your hard work in the dungeon.”
“no.”
“Thanks to you, I can sleep soundly.”
“Thank you for saving my life.”
“I will not forget your kindness.”
The sight of proud hunters bowing their heads was unusual even to the experienced Min Do-jun.
It is also unprecedented for a level 1,600 player to owe their life to a level 1,000 player.
‘I didn’t really mean to save you.’
Min Do-jun, who had come running in fear that the boss would get hurt, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed to greet him.
So I simply nodded and turned around.
“Then that’s it… … .”
“Oh, just a moment!”
Jinwoo Kim called him over hurriedly, wondering if he had more to say.
“I have a question. Do you have a regular party?”
“no.”
“Then, if it’s okay with you, wouldn’t you like to party with us in the future? We have no choice but to party if we’re going to run A-class dungeons anyway.”
Min Do-jun said that without even thinking about it.
“I like being alone.”
“No matter what, it would be impossible to catch a match on your own… … .”
Min Do-jun knows too.
It is not easy to solo a crowded Class A dungeon.
However, Min Do-jun once again expressed his intention to refuse.
“I don’t want to be tied down to anything. Okay, that’s it.”
“ah…….”
Kim Jin-woo and his group looked at his departing back with regretful expressions.
“I had a really comfortable time partying with Dojun… …even though I gained less experience.”
“Safety comes before experience.”
“I’m scared to go into dungeons now… … .”
“I agree.”
After experiencing a near-death experience, even the dungeons that had seemed easy to them now seemed dangerous.
It was an opportunity to realize once again that dungeons are never playgrounds.
‘Come to think of it… … .’
As he watched Min Do-jun get into the car of the person in charge who came to pick him up, he recalled the moment when Kim Jin-woo fought with his boss.
‘What was that skill back then?’
The skill that Min Do-jun used when he was cornered at the end.
‘No matter how I looked at it, it looked like a lion’s mane… … .’
Just by looking at the screaming, it was clear that it was a F-class skill called Lion’s Roar.
I had briefly learned it when I was low level and wanted to become a tank, so I couldn’t not know.
But now I’ve switched to another, better provocation skill.
‘After the death, there won’t be any other effect besides provocation?’
I saw it clearly with my own two eyes.
The tigers temporarily stopped attacking after hearing the lion’s roar.
‘I didn’t see things the way you did. I did it twice.’
Something doesn’t feel right about it being a coincidence.
‘Should I have just asked Dojun?’
I was putting off asking questions because I thought it would be rude, but I ended up with a lot of questions.
‘I should test it sometime.’
Kim Jin-woo’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as he realized the true value of the lion’s skill.
* * *
Inside the car, silence reigns.
Park Dong-yoon opened his lips with fear.
“Hunter… … . Are you satisfied with the hunt?”
“Yes, I was very satisfied.”
“… … .”
Park Dong-yoon’s mouth was tightly shut at Min Do-jun’s words.
‘I’m screwed… … .’
I never expected you to be this satisfied.
It seems that the Blue Dragon Guild’s plan to offer an A-class dungeon as a bribe has worked perfectly.
‘Haa… … Now you’re going to move to the Blue Dragon Guild.’
Park Dong-yoon’s shoulders slumped.
“Sir, why are you so listless?”
“Huh? Well… … I think you should move to the Blue Dragon Guild… … .”

“I think you’re misunderstanding something. My statement that I have no intention of joining the guild still stands.”
“… … !”
Suddenly, Park Dong-yoon’s face became lively.
“Weren’t you going to the Blue Dragon Guild?”
“No way.”
“But you just said you were satisfied… … .”
“The dungeon was satisfying, but it was only because I got the reward. Come to think of it, I didn’t say anything.”
Min Do-jun briefly explained what happened inside.
“Wow… … You defeated the boss by yourself? No, I’m more surprised that there was a boss.”
Now, it wouldn’t be surprising if Min Do-jun took down the boss on his own.
“Whew, I thought the hunting was satisfying because I had great chemistry with my guild members.”
“It’s not easy to get along with someone you’re meeting for the first time.”
Rather, it was a situation where Min Do-jun, who was at a lower level, had to match the breathing, so it was impossible to be satisfied.
“Then you have no intention of moving to the Blue Dragon Guild?”
“That’s true for now… … but you never know what will happen to people.”
“… … .”
Park Dong-yoon became nervous again at the words that left room for discussion.
Min Do-jun smiled inwardly at that sight.
I had absolutely no intention of joining the Blue Dragon Guild, but it was something I said on purpose to make me nervous.
‘Then you’ll give me one more gift.’
It is human nature to neglect a fish that you think you have caught.
If you let them know that you can leave at any time, wouldn’t they give you one more piece of rice cake to hold on to at least the leg of your pants?
‘By the way, there’s no one around to look at, so should I check the reward?’
Min Do-jun, who had postponed checking the rewards to look at them from a comfortable place, opened his inventory.
There were a total of three items obtained from the boss.
‘One A-grade magic stone and a mid-grade random box… … .’
Up until here it was okay.
‘A shiny tiger skin armor… … .’
I was about to laugh at the item that was beyond my imagination.
[Shiny Tiger Skin Armor]
– Category: Armor
– Grade: A
– Defense: 11,000
– Current stack: 0/100
– Effect: Berserk
– Durability: 15,000/15,000
– Usage Restrictions: Level 1,000 or higher (Bound)
– Description: You can gain 1 stack every time you attack an enemy or dodge an attack, and when you reach 100, you can use Berserk. When you use Berserk, your strength and agility increase by 1.5x for 3 minutes.
Although it is an item without basic stat options.
‘When you use Berserk, your strength and agility increase by 1.5 times.’
It was an item worth its value just for its special ability to be frenzied.
No, it was not only not good enough, it was a fraudulent item.
That’s a huge number, since the stats increase by 1.5 times.
‘My current strength and agility are around 1,000, so if I use it, it will go up by around 500.’
It can make you incredibly strong, even if only temporarily.
‘Instead, there is a condition that requires stacks to be collected, and the duration is short at 3 minutes.’
Even so, the 1.5x increase was a feature that could never be abandoned.
‘This is good, I needed some armor.’
It is time to throw away the ancient armor you were wearing.
I don’t have much stamina left from fighting the boss.
Min Do-jun, who couldn’t sell it because it was proprietary and kept it in his inventory, said to Park Dong-yoon.
“I’d like to reserve a Class A dungeon.”
“Oh, are you planning on going to the Rock Lizard Dungeon?”
This was said because the only dungeons that could be entered at level 1,000 were the Black-Eyed Tiger and the Rock Lizard.
“yes that’s right.”
“I already made a reservation for you to come out at the time you came out.”
“is it so?”
“Yes! If you wish, you can enter immediately after 3 hours. You can also postpone it to a later date.”
Min Do-jun nodded with a satisfied face, as if he was satisfied with the way things were done.
“Well done. I’ll go in today. Before that, I’ll stop by Hunter Wholesale Market first.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Park Dong-yoon smiled brightly, happy to be praised.
* * *
“Thank you for the ride.”
“No, Hunter. I’ll wait here, so take your time shopping.”
“Are you okay? It might take a while.”
“Just rest in the car, okay? Don’t worry and go.”
“Yes, then.”
As Min Do-jun entered the store, Park Dong-yoon made a phone call to someone.
-Oh, yeah, Manager Park.
“Vice President, can I talk to you for a moment?”
-Oh, it’s spacious now. By the way, did Hunter Min Do-jun come out today?
“Yes, I already picked it up and asked.”
-Really? How is it?
“First of all, you said you have no intention of going to the Blue Dragon Guild, but that’s not the problem.”
-What else is the problem?
Park Dong-yoon let out a deep sigh and told us about Min Do-jun’s performance.
-Hehehe, you defeated the boss by yourself again? You’re really amazing.
“The problem is that you have proven your worth once again. The Blue Dragon Guild will never let you go.”
– If the Blue Dragon Guild launches a gift offensive, it would be disadvantageous for us who are short on bullets.
“Plus, if the news spreads that you solo killed an A-class boss, other guilds will take notice as well.”
-That won’t happen. If the Blue Dragon Guild had any intention, they would have kept it under wraps so that it doesn’t spread outside. There’s no benefit to increasing competitors for no reason.
“Well, that’s fortunate, but we have to compete with the Blue Dragon Guild anyway. What if I open my eyes and my nose gets cut off?”
-Don’t worry. I’ve thought of everything.
“Do you have any good ideas?”
-Min Do-jun is giving Hunter what he wants.
“What do you want?”
-Hunter Min Do-jun is about to enter an A-class dungeon.
“Yes.”
-You still don’t want to solo?
“ah……!”
Park Dong-yoon realized what the vice-chairman was trying to say.
“Should I use priority so I can solo?”
-yes.
A-class dungeons are so crowded that you have to make a reservation to get in.
However, if you have priority, you can rent the entire dungeon and even solo it.
-Just like the Cheongryong Guild, we also have priority, so we use it for Hunter Min Do-jun.
“Even so, it’s the same as the Blue Dragon Guild, using it once a year.”
-Five times.
“yes?”
-The center director has already agreed to transfer the priority rights held by other branches to us.
“Really?”
-Yes. There were some expenses incurred in the process, but that means the center director has high expectations for Hunter Min Do-jun.
I never thought that even the center director would help me in both material and spiritual ways.
“I’m sure Hunter will like it when he hears that. Hehe.”
Now that we’ve gotten five priority passes, we don’t have to worry about Hunter Min Do-jun leaving for another guild for the time being.

The moment when Park Dong-yoon was talking to Vice Minister Ko.
Min Do-jun was shopping.
“There are so many other good things, so why would you buy this… … .”
“I need it. How much is it?”
“I’d be happy to sell them. The three together are worth 600,000 won.”
What Min Do-jun received from the merchant after making the payment was a skill book.
It was a lion’s share that was expected to skyrocket in price to 200 million won in six months.
‘What’s six months? You have to buy it quickly because it might skyrocket in a month.’
Min Do-jun predicted that the time when the lion’s head will skyrocket will come sooner.
The reason was none other than Kim Jin-woo and his group.
‘I showed them how to use the afterlife, so it wouldn’t be strange if it were revealed at any time.’
If it is discovered that the afterlife is effective against a specific monster, the price will skyrocket.
Before that happens, we need to take the lead.
‘Is this enough?’
There are about 50 lion kings that were collected by going around all the shops.
If you add the 100 I bought previously, it becomes 150.
If it goes up to 200 million per unit, then 30 billion has been secured.
Min Do-jun, who had achieved his goal, went to another skill book store.
Because there was a skill you had to learn before entering the Rock Lizard Dungeon.
Min Do-jun’s eyes lit up as he looked at the skill books on display.
‘Here it is.’
