Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 86
86. Lee Se-yoon’s Proposal
Lee Se-yoon burst into laughter as the phone call ended without a word and he put his phone down.
‘You look really angry.’
It was a natural thing.
It was expected.
If someone were to buy all the skill books you wanted and hinder your growth, you’d be upset.
However, there was no other reason why Lee Se-yoon chose such a petty method.
I wanted to recruit Min Do-jun to the Cheongryong Guild even at this cost.
‘Well, you might be angry right now, but your thoughts will change as you continue to work with our guild.’
Despite getting angry at Min Do-jun, Lee Se-yoon remained calm throughout.
Having reached level 2,200, he had no reason to fear Min Do-jun, who had just reached level 1,500.
Even when he gets angry, he’s still cute.
‘He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would do something like that, but even if he does attack, there’s nothing to worry about.’
Lee Se-yoon was relieved of his worries because he was confident enough to subdue them by force.
Just then the office door opened and an employee came in.
“Hunter Lee Se-yoon! You came as you said!”
“is it so?”
Lee Se-yoon smiled at the news that the guests had already arrived.
‘It must have been quite a rush.’
He stood up leisurely and went out of the guild.
Min Do-jun appears with a somewhat angry face.
“Welcome, Dojun. I’ve been waiting… … .”
Lee Se-yoon, who was approaching, stopped walking without realizing it.
‘What is this oppressive feeling… …?’
Instinct was warning me.
It’s dangerous to come any closer.
Lee Se-yoon stopped and looked at Min Do-jun.
The sight of him glaring at me as if he was going to kill me gave me goosebumps.
I instinctively stepped back, then was startled when I realized the fact.
‘I was scared and backed down by someone who was only level 1,500?’
The last time Lee Se-yoon saw Min Do-jun was when he was at level 1,000.
It was when I had just come out of the Tiger’s Dungeon.
‘I didn’t feel this kind of pressure back then… … .’
I can’t believe it changed so much just by going up 500 levels.
‘No, you didn’t know because I didn’t reveal it?’
Now, Min Do-jun was openly angry.
“You came as you pleased. What do you want to talk about?”
Lee Se-yoon swallowed dry saliva and spoke at the cold voice.
“This isn’t the place to talk about this, so please follow me.”
As I turned my back and took the lead, Min Do-jun followed.
While being guided to the office, Lee Se-yoon glanced back.
It wasn’t because I was checking to see if I was following along well, but because I was anxious.
‘I didn’t know it would be this uncomfortable to turn my back… … .’
For him, who is leading the way, it is virtually defenseless.
This is the first time since becoming a hunter that I’ve felt anxious about showing my back.
‘If you turn him into an enemy, he’s a dangerous person.’
Lee Se-yoon, who realized that fact belatedly, made a promise.
No matter what happens, I will bring Min Do-jun to the Cheongryong Guild.
“Please sit over here.”
As Min Do-jun sat down on the sofa, Lee Se-yoon ordered an employee to bring a car.
I wanted to have a comfortable conversation while drinking tea.
He didn’t know that provoking Min Do-jun would make him this uncomfortable.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Silence followed.
The first person to get lucky was Min Do-jun.
“I know what you’re going to say, but I’ll listen.”
Lee Se-yoon first apologized to that cold voice.
“I apologize for the inconvenience, Hunter Min Do-jun. However, I felt that you would not meet us if we did not do this.”
Lee Se-yoon brought up the main topic with a poor excuse.
“I won’t beat around the bush. Our guild wants you, Hunter. If you join the guild, we’ll give you the Magnum Burst skill book you want. Everything we have.”
“How many do you have?”
‘it’s okay!’
Lee Se-yoon, who misunderstood the question as a sign of interest when it was simply asked out of curiosity, answered with a slightly brighter expression.
“There are twenty of them. You can learn one, and you can either dispose of the rest or keep them as you wish. By the way, the skill books were purchased for 50 million won each.”
No matter how unconventional it is, it is still an A-class skill book.
It was cheap considering that a regular A-class skill book costs 300 million won, but it was like giving away 1 billion won for free.

However, there was a condition that one had to join the guild.
“Oh, I’m afraid you might misunderstand, but the skill book is a gift separate from the deposit. If you express your intention to join our Cheongryong Guild, we will immediately give you a deposit of 10 billion.”
10 billion.
No guild would offer this amount of money.
It was proof that the Blue Dragon Guild highly valued Min Do-jun.
“We will guarantee you the industry’s best ratio of 9 to 1 for the profits generated from dungeons. We will also make arrangements so that you can freely use the priority rights that are generated each year. You can even solo if you wish. Of course, all profits from this will be yours.”
High deposits, settlement rates, and promises of priority.
I can’t refuse since he has offered me several groundbreaking conditions.
‘First of all, you have to join our guild to get the skill book.’
Would you throw away what you want when it doesn’t come to you?
Lee Se-yoon anticipated Min Do-jun’s next move.
After thinking it over, he will sigh as if he has no other choice, and then accept it with tears in his eyes, saying, “Okay.”
Was it as expected?
Min Do-jun, who had been silent, suddenly sighed.
‘also!’
Now he’ll just nod his head as if he has no choice.
But what happened next was different than expected.
“Five or more.”
“yes?”
“Can you give me more than five priority passes per year?”
“Um… … That’s… … .”
Lee Se-yoon was careful with his words.
Because priority wasn’t something that could be bought with money.
“And the settlement ratio is 10 to 0. Of course I am 10. Is that possible?”
“Huh? What kind of nonsense is that… .”
Lee Se-yoon sighed at the absurd request.
“If the settlement ratio is 0, what will the guild eat to survive?”
The guild is run on the profits of the hunters.
Therefore, the settlement ratio was most important.
I gave it up to 9 to 1, but now it’s 10 to 0.
That’s nonsense.
But there was a place that gave such a ridiculous ratio.
“The two things I just mentioned are the benefits I am currently enjoying at the center.”
“… … .”
“Unless the conditions are better than this, there’s nothing to talk about.”
“No, you mean you secured five priority rights in the Ilsan branch?”
“Yes. If you want to recruit me, you have to be at least this good. Not like someone who threatens you with a skill book.”
“… … .”
This was unexpected.
‘Did the centers that were not in use transfer their priority rights through negotiation? If so, it makes sense that Hunter Min Do-jun would not want to come to the guild.’
For Min Do-jun, who likes to solo, it would be more beneficial to stick to the center rather than a guild.
Because we don’t charge settlement fees like guilds do.
“Now you know why I don’t join a guild. I can’t find any advantages in a guild.”
Even if he receives a deposit of 10 billion won, it is actually a loss for Min Do-jun if you consider the profits he will receive in the long run.
There is no financial benefit whatsoever.
Lee Se-yoon, who was aware of that fact, appealed to the guild in another way.
“The best thing about a guild is safety. Rather than having to go up against new people every time, you can go up against familiar guild members safely and quickly… … .”
“Do you think I need a party member when I’m soloing? For safety? If I thought about safety, I wouldn’t have become a hunter.”
“But there will be limits to soloing. Once you get a little higher level, there will be things that require a party… … .”
“That’s something we can worry about when the time comes.”
Lee Se-yoon also knew that although he tried hard to persuade Min Do-jun, he was weak in persuading him.
That’s why I had no choice but to use petty methods.
“If you join our guild, you will be able to obtain the skill book you have been looking for.”
“You can get that through another route.”
“That’ll be tough. Our guild will block all distribution channels for the skill called Magnum Burst.”
“… … .”
“Even if you’re lucky enough to get it, it’ll be tough right away. At least you can do some disruption.”
“Whew, really… … .”
Min Do-jun sighed.
“Why do you want to recruit me like this?”
“Well, it’s worth it to Dojun.”
“Even if you hate me?”
“It would be great if I could just bring Dojun.”
“Are you not willing to just give up and hand over the skill book?”
“yes.”
I could feel the firm determination in Lee Se-yoon’s eyes, as if he thought this was the only card he had left.
It was a very frustrating situation for Min Do-jun.
‘This guy is really… … .’
I originally wanted to kill this person, but when he came out like this, I wanted to tear his limbs apart.
‘Should I just kill him here?’
Min Do-jun glanced at the information window that appeared next to him.
[Lee Se-yoon]
-Description: A hunter born in 1997. Current level is 2,200. He is a member of the Blue Dragon Guild and his occupation is a one-handed swordsman.
-Battle style: Use quick stabs focusing on vital points. If the opponent seems strong, measure the distance and use footwork to surprise stab. Use various attack patterns.
– Weakness: If you tie its feet, its attack pattern will be reduced. It is surprisingly vulnerable to tanks.
Information on weaknesses that were questionable just a few months ago has now been clearly revealed.
‘That means I’m worthy of fighting him.’
Even without the help of weakness detection, Min Do-jun was confident he could win.
He beat Kim Be-Do, who is of a higher level, so how could he not beat Lee Se-Yoon?
If we picked a fight now, there was a good chance we would win.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay if I killed them and then disappeared into invisibility?’
Min Do-jun smiled self-deprecatingly to himself.
‘What useless thoughts… … Of course I’ll get caught up in it.’
If no one saw you, you wouldn’t know, but if you kill me now, you’ll definitely be suspected.
‘I can’t take the risk.’
The worst option is to discard it.
You need to obtain the skill book in other ways.
‘I can’t join the guild. But I can’t get the skill book right away either.’
There are ways to obtain them through overseas sources or by hunting them yourself, but both will take more than ten days.
‘I don’t think I’ll be able to persuade them with words… ‘
Another way was needed.
‘There is no choice but to make a deal.’
Since persuasion was difficult, there was no other way than to buy the skill book.
‘The market price of the skill book is 50 million won, so should I say I’ll sell it if they ask for around 500 million won?’
Min Do-jun immediately changed his mind.
‘No. There’s no way a guy with so much money would go over 500 million.’
Even if you raise the price, they won’t bat an eye.
I don’t want to buy it and lose money because I’m crazy.
‘You can’t bribe him with money. You need a deal that will make him succumb to temptation.’
What could there be?
Min Do-jun stared at Lee Se-yoon.
‘Come to think of it, that guy… was interested in the ancient stone tablets, wasn’t he?’
The Ancient Stone Tablet is a collectible that can be obtained by hunting the Red-Beaked Protoss in the B-class dungeon.
Min Do-jun recalled the memory of Lee Se-yoon entering the dungeon to investigate the ancient stone tablet.
‘This is the only way to get the skill book right now.’
This information will be released in a month anyway.
Min Do-jun sees no harm in giving out the information.
‘Besides, I can use the information as an excuse to enter the dungeon with him alone.’
There’s no better place to kill people than a dungeon.
After making up his mind, he opened his mouth.
“Mr. Lee Se-yoon.”
“yes.”
“Would you like to make a deal with me?”
Lee Se-yoon wasn’t surprised by the word deal.
He just shook his head as if he had already guessed.
“If you’re not going to join the guild, I have no intention of selling it no matter how much you pay… … .”
“Ancient stone tablets.”
“… … ?”
“Don’t you want to know what that item is used for?”
