Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 71
71. A relationship worse than others
‘Who is it?’
Min Do-jun opened his eyes wide as he looked at the screen of the moon pad.
‘Uncle and uncle?’
It was because my deceased father’s brothers came to visit me.
Min Do-jun’s eyes narrowed.
‘What is going on in our house with the gentlemen who haven’t shown their faces since my parents passed away?’
Although they were relatives, they weren’t close enough to have any contact with each other.
That’s why the sudden visit couldn’t help but be questionable.
“Dojun, are you home?”
“Open the door!”
As I hesitated to open the door, he kept ringing the doorbell.
‘There is no nuisance like this nuisance.’
Min Do-jun opened the door first.
And we started by saying hello.
Even though we weren’t as close as others, we were still relatives.
“hello.”
“You were at home?”
“I called you. Why didn’t you pick up?”
I was tired of hearing from my classmates, so I left my phone unattended and didn’t even realize I had gotten a call.
“I don’t look at my phone very often.”
“Really? Anyway, can I come in?”
“yes.”
Min Do-jun opened the door with a trembling expression.
Then, when he saw his cousins coming in, his expression hardened.
“Hello, Dojun.”
“Long time no see?”
‘You even brought your children.’
My cousins, whom I had never even talked to before, spoke to me as if they were friendly.
“Come in.”
Min Do-jun, who couldn’t bear to turn them away, invited everyone into the house.
“Dojun, I’m sorry for coming here so suddenly.”
“I just wanted to see your face after a long time.”
“… … .”
Min Do-jun didn’t respond to his uncle’s words.
‘The people who fought and swore at each other because they didn’t want to take me away… … .’
After his parents were killed by a monster, Min Do-jun was treated like a plaything by his relatives.
They fought fiercely over who would take him, who was left alone.
Shocked by that sight, Min Do-jun declared at the age of fifteen that he would rather live alone and only received support for living expenses.
No, it was more of a debt than support.
Because my uncle threatened me that I would have to pay back all of my parents’ property as soon as I became an adult and inherited it.
Of course, I paid off all those debts as soon as I became an adult, so there was no reason for my relatives to come looking for me like this.
There was no reason for Min Do-jun to be thankful.
For him, his relatives are nothing more than a nuisance that disturbs his rest.
When Min Do-jun didn’t say anything, his embarrassed relatives looked around the house, coughing in vain.
“Wow, you live so cleanly.”
“Dojun, are you still living alone in this big house? Aren’t you lonely?”
“Yes. Thanks to this, I am able to develop self-reliance, which is good.”
“Ahem… … .”
The relatives looked around the house for no reason and made excuses at the cold response.
“Hasn’t this house been around for over 5 years?”
“I see the house prices have gone up a bit, but you haven’t sold it yet?”
“It’s the only asset my parents left me.”
“You were probably in an accident when you went out with your family?”
“Still, it’s fortunate that the monster didn’t destroy the house.”
“Thank goodness?”
Min Do-jun’s eyes lit up at his uncle’s words.
“Is that something you would say in front of your nephew who lost his parents? If the monsters had destroyed the house, I would have lost only my property, and my parents would still be alive. Are you saying that money is more important than life?”
“No… … I was just saying that I almost lost my house… … Is that something to get so angry about?”
“Hey, hey.”
The older uncle poked the younger uncle in the ribs and gave him a hint.
My uncle, who had grasped the situation, kept his mouth shut.
The grandfather speaks on his behalf.
“Haha, I’m sorry, Dojun. My brother said the wrong thing. I’ll apologize on his behalf. You should apologize quickly, too.”
“Uh, I’m sorry.”
After the two people apologized, silence fell.
To break the awkwardness, my grandfather said:

“Oh, by the way, Dojun, you became a hunter?”
“Where did you hear that story?”
“I didn’t hear it from someone, I showed it to you.”
Min Dong-hyun, the grandfather’s son, intervened.
“I happened to be browsing YouTube and saw a video you were in.”
It seemed like he was talking about the video that stopped the dungeon break in Gongju City 7 months ago.
“At first, I thought Dong-hyun was joking, but then I found out that there was an article about it and it seems like he really became a hunter? Is that true?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m the hunter.”
The relatives’ eyes widened at those words.
Hunter, huh?
A so-called chosen one, a hunter, appears among my relatives.
“Hey, you’re a hunter! I’m proud of you, Dojun.”
“I knew you would succeed!”
The two fathers were busy laughing and cheering Min Do-jun on.
My cousins didn’t stay still either.
“Wow, wow! My cousin is a hunter.”
“Dojun, are you a swordsman or something?”
“huh.”
“Looking at the comments, it seems like the Magic Swordsman isn’t that great… … .”
“They say that it’s better to go for a one-handed swordsmanship because it’s stronger and you can make more money.”
Min Do-jun snickered, wondering if it was funny that a commoner was training a 10-year veteran hunter.
“Hey guys, do you work at a guild or a hunter management center?”
“No. Why?”
“You know more about this industry than I do. So what do you guys do for a living?”
“Hey, what kind of job can we have at our age? We should go to college.”
“We’re only twenty-two now.”
“Oh, really? Then you haven’t even gone to the military yet?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“After I come back from the military, I have to prepare for a job and I’ll be busy.”
Min Do-jun smiled brightly and said in a subtle teasing tone.
It’s not that Hunter was exempt from military service.
Moreover, his future as a hunter is already guaranteed.
You don’t have to worry about studying or getting a job like everyone else.
The older cousins, realizing that they were in no position to interfere, kept their mouths shut.
Breaking the awkward silence, the fathers speak.
“Haha, you can take your time getting a job. Anyway, Dojun, you’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry about getting a job.”
“Instead, you should worry about your life.”
“Yeah. They say being a hunter is a dangerous job. But doesn’t it make a ton of money?”
“Dad. Dojun, he’s not at that level yet. A D-rank is considered low-level even among hunters.”
The cousin belittled Min Do-jun as if he was going to get revenge for what happened just now.
But there is one thing he gets wrong.
“D-class? Me?”
“Oh, you were level 150 when you blocked the dungeon break back then. So you’re still a D-rank.”
It’s only been 7 months since the Dungeon Break was stopped, so it seems like they still think of it as a D-rank.
“Did you get promoted to C-class by any chance?”
“Well, whether it’s C-class or D-class, they’re both low level.”
Min Do-jun couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of him putting others down in order to save his pride.
“Over there, uncle, uncle.”
“huh?”
“I heard you’re in business. Did you make hundreds of millions of won?”
“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know if it would be different if they were rich, but it’s funny to hear guys with no income talking about hunters.”
“Hey, it’s true!”
“What a difference between C-class and D-class!”
Min Do-jun looked at his brothers who were getting angry as if he found them pitiful.
“Brothers, even if you just become an F-rank hunter, you can earn 100 million won a year. A C-rank hunter can earn the same amount of money as an office worker in a day. Before talking about C-rank and D-rank, look at the brothers. Are you really in a position to give them a hard time?”
“… … .”
“You pretend to know so much, but aren’t you really ignorant about Hunters?”
“Anyway, it’s true that you’re a D-class.”
“I’m a B-class?”
“So it’s a D-class, right… … Huh?”
“It’s Class B.”
“What? You?”
My cousins looked at me with disbelief.
“It’s really B-class?”
“What level is it?”
“Over 1,300.”
“That’s ridiculous. Don’t you know how many years it takes to become a B-class?”
“It’s different for everyone.”
“Aren’t you kidding me by saying we can’t check?”
“Think whatever you want.”
Everyone looked incredulous, but Min Do-jun didn’t care.
Because there was no obligation to prove anything.
“If it’s a B-grade, is it really that high?”
The son nodded to his father’s question, who didn’t know much about hunters.
“It’s high. Even if you can’t do it, you can earn several billion won a year.”
“What do you mean tens of billions? It’s hundreds of billions.”
When Min Do-jun corrected himself, his relatives’ mouths opened wide.
“So, that’s why you earn that much?”
“That’s what it is.”
The older cousins still looked incredulous, but the adults seemed to not care.
“What do you think? I don’t know how much Dojun earns, but he’s the hero who prevented the dungeon break.”
The two fathers chuckled.
Regardless of whether it’s B-class or not, I think I saw an article that said the reward for stopping the dungeon break was 2 billion.
‘That’s why he’s flattering me like that.’
Min Do-jun, who saw through her intentions, asked directly.
“By the way, what is the real reason you came here? Is it for money?”
“Uh… … Huh?”
When we first brought up the topic of money, the two fathers were quite embarrassed.
‘What should I do? Admit it? Stop it?’
As expected, the two people who came to borrow money were momentarily troubled.
If you think about your pride, it would be right to get angry and deny it, but then you might not be able to borrow the money.
Thinking about it that way, my worries didn’t last long.
“Ahem, yes. Let me get straight to the point. It’s true that I came to you to borrow money.”
“But Dojun, I’m not just asking you to borrow it. I’m also trying to give you some good information.”
“Where should I invest…? Is that what you’re trying to say?”
“Yes! You know it well!”
“Let me explain. How wonderful this land is… … .”
The two men unfolded a map they had brought from the real estate office and actively encouraged investment in the land, explaining the advantages of the land they had invested in.
“This land is really good. There’s a subway and a highway coming up here, so transportation accessibility is definitely good. It’s a place where everyone wants to buy.”
“If you buy it, it’s a sure hit. They say you’ll make at least 10 times the profit. You should buy it in bulk quickly before it’s too late.”
“I’ve already bought 1 billion won worth, but I plan on putting in more if Dojun borrows money from you.”
“I borrowed as much as I could from the bank and pooled all my savings to put in about 2 billion won. But you still want to put in more?”
“So, Dojun, why don’t you try investing while you’re at it? Uncle will help you a lot.”
“If you find it difficult to invest, you can just lend it to me. But please give me as much as possible.”
“How much do you have? Judging from the bounty you received, you have at least 2 billion?”
“If you lend us 1 billion won each, we will pay you back with a lot of interest when land prices rise.”
“Yeah. Grab the chance when you get it. This is a rare opportunity, isn’t it?”
Min Do-jun found himself laughing without realizing it.
Because it was a truly rare opportunity.
‘Why this land of all places?’
The land that the two fathers recommended to invest in was the land where an S-class dungeon would soon appear.
In short, it is a place where it is certain to fall apart in half.
It is a place where it is difficult to even recover the original investment for the next 10 years, let alone 10 times.
“What do you think, Dojun? Are you interested too?”
Their faces were filled with anticipation, as if they took the smiles as a sign of positivity.
“I guess I underestimated you a bit.”
“huh?”
“Even when my parents passed away, those people who only cared about money and treated me like I was nothing more than a pawn, did you think that if you came to me like this and tried to flatter me, I would readily lend you money?”
“What, what?”
“I don’t want to talk for long. Please leave.”
“No, but I think I should think about it some more… … .”
“I have no intention of investing or lending money, so please stop wasting other people’s precious time and go.”
“Hey, Min Do-jun.”
At that time, my grandfather’s son, Min Dong-hyeon, opened his eyes wide and stepped forward.
“What’s that habit you have toward our father? Have you forgotten that our father supported us with our living expenses and acted as our guardian?”
“As for the living expenses, I paid them all back with interest as soon as I became an adult, and the only thing you did as my guardian was come visit me once when I registered for school. So how should I be thankful?”
“This, this is profit… … !”
“And you asked me to prove that I am a B-class hunter?”
Min Do-jun disappeared without a trace.
“omg!”
The relatives’ eyes widened at the sight of a person suddenly disappearing.
Min Do-jun has released his transparency.
“I don’t know if you know, but transparency is a B-class skill. Is this proof enough? Or… … .”
Hurrrurruk-
“Huh!”
A curtain of flames appeared behind Min Do-jun.
“Will you be satisfied if I show you even a fire?”
“Oh, I got it! I’ll go!”
“Oh, sorry for being rude. Dojun!”
The relatives, who had finally realized the hunter’s fear, ran out of the house without looking back.
