- Volume 1 Episode 14

Everyone was scorched and injured everywhere.

However, he survived the encounter with Cerberus.

It seemed that he had forgotten the pain of his injury.

"How the hell did we do it? I thought he was just dying."

As Seok Woo-won murmured, Won-dil grabbed Jung Daesik.

" Jung Daesik, this guy did it! He said he helped us all with his strengthening skills in that situation!"

Then Seok Woo-won nodded his head as if he understood.

“I think that was the reason why I suddenly surged in strength when I was knocked down in one blow… Maybe because of my mood, I felt stronger than when I received the buffer earlier.”

That's because he spent nearly 100 million won in his sage.

But it was impossible to say it all, so Jung Daesik shrugged his shoulders.

"Because of a crisis situation, all the power I used to breastfeed came out. So, it seems that the strengthening skill worked well."

"Ha ha ha ha ha......."

When Seok Woo-won burst into laughter with Kyung-i and Hwan-hee, all the other party members burst into laughter.

It was only then that belatedly realized their respective injuries and moaned or sat down in place.

Then Seok Woo-won took out a potion that looked like an emergency and turned it around.

Since there was only one potion, he drank one drop at a time, only to relieve the pain.

Still, it was enough to get him going.

"We don't know who else will appear, so let's get out of here for now."

* * *

He thought he would run into anyone on his way out of section D, but no one showed up.

Perhaps he knew that Cerberus was haunted here.

Unsurprisingly, when I went up to the first floor of the dungeon, the hunters could not enter the basement prematurely and were gathered in a crowd.

They saw Jung Daesik and the party members who appeared in a mess and started talking.

"Did Cerberus appear inside?"

"What floor did you go to?"

When Seok Woo-won met Cerberus on the 3rd basement floor and said, people nodded his head or kicked his tongue to add to what he said.

"The raid that went to the 5th basement level earlier to capture Cerberus was devastating."

"They said that three people died and the remaining people ran away and dragged them up to the 3rd basement floor."

"In the end, all the raiders died."

“But how have you been living?”

"Did Cerberus go somewhere else?"

Everyone did not think that the last man who went hunting to the third basement level had defeated Cerberus.

He was just saying he thought he had run away.

Seok Woo-won calmly opened his mouth to such people.

"Cerberus is dead. We defeated it."

Hearing that, people widened their eyes."What? No way!"

"It's nonsense. Cerberus is said to have a hard time even when veterans come. You guys, aren't you the youngest?"

"Even pretending to look at you doesn't look like much..."

They thought they were bluffing, and most of them didn't seem to believe it.

Then Seok Woo-won got angry and said,

"Somehow, you watch the porters unload Cerberus corpses."

However, the porters who had been recruited in advance did not rush into the dungeon.

It is natural.

Cerberus might be running rampant inside, but he couldn't resist unless he had two lives.

It was the same no matter how many times Seok Woo-won said that Cerberus was definitely dead.

In the end, Jung Daesik, who could not see the situation, stepped forward.

"I will lead by myself. The price is three times! I'll give you three times."

Some porters were tempted by the word triple.

On the other hand, there were those who shook their heads and left.

Fortunately, there were three or four young porters left in a hurry, so they went back the way Jung Daesik had brought them.

And he showed me the corpse of Cerberus, lying in ancient times.

"Look, are you sure he's not dead?"

"Hey..."

"I've never seen a Cerberus corpse in a few years as a porter."

"It's really big, how do you move it?"

Jung Daesik led them to the familiar dismantling of Cerberus corpses.

The bones, flesh, and skin were separated, and only those that were worth money were selected like a ghost and put on a cart.

The other porters could not help but marvel at his work skills as a hunter.

Everyone was bewildered and asked questions.

"No, aren't you a Hunter? How can you handle your burdens so well?"

"Because the porter is away, he does his job well."

At those words, Jung Daesik shrugged his shoulders.

"Because I was a porter not too long ago."

"I beg your pardon?"

Among the porters who questioned in amazement, someone pretended to know.

"That's right! Someone heard that a porter had become an Awakened. The rumor was true..."

When they heard that Jung Daesik was a porter in the past, the way everyone looked at him changed.

Complex gazes mixed with jealousy, envy, longing, envy and jealousy.

The gaze was not so comfortable, so Jung Daesik carried the Cerberus corpse without saying any more.

In fact, if you use your inventory, that is, subspace, you could easily move this much by yourself.

He didn't have to pay three times the money and work hard at the porters.

But he was working with other people, so he didn't want to do anything misleading.

If you put a Cerberus corpse into a subspace, it will disappear completely from your eyes, so it could be a misunderstanding that Jung Daesik is trying to monopolize the profits by doing some tricks.

Rather, it is better to move with the porter just like everyone else, even at the cost of some inconvenience and damage.

As all other party members were injured and taken to the Hunter Specialty Hospital, it was left to Jung Daesik to dispose of the Cerberus corpse.

He handed over the Cerberus carcass to the broker and meticulously struck the price.

Since he was a quick man in this kind of thing, he paid the broker's fee and settled enough.

'Let's see, after deducting all the incidental expenses and sharing the profits...'

Jung Daesik conscientiously took his share more, and as a result.

'... Today's income alone is 150 million won!'

Is it really like a giant monster on the 5th basement floor?

Since the profit from catching one Cerberus was substantial, Jung Daesik's income was also huge.

'Not a month, not a week, not a day... The daily income is 150 million won!'

Jung Daesik deposited his remaining amount to the party master Seok Woo-won and left the dungeon.

On the way home, he stopped by a jjimjilbang to wash himself, and ate a bowl of seaweed soup at the restaurant there.

I was about to slurp it in, but somehow I couldn't feel it.

'One hundred and fifty thousand.'

When Cerberus appeared earlier, I wondered what to do.

He felt hesitant because he did not want to spend the hard-earned money.

In the end, he spent close to 100 million, but he made another 150 million, so it wasn't a bad thing in the end.

However, Jung Daesik, who is sensitive to money, felt suspicious.

'Why did such a huge amount of money go away to increase the magic power by 7 points? Is there something wrong with this calculation?'

With that thought in mind, Jung Daesik hurriedly drank seaweed soup.

And he went home to talk with entropy.

Episode 5. Dilemma

Upon arriving at the inn, Jung Daesik summoned entropy.

"Entropy!"

"I have a question for you."

"I'm going to have to say it clearly without misjudgment to give you an honest answer. It's about the ability I bought earlier."

"Yeah. Why is that amount equal to 100 million won? Oh, the situation was urgent, so I just skipped it, but the calculation is wrong!"

The price increases by 1 million won for every 1 point purchase.

Regardless of the type, it was unconditional, 1 million won per point.

So, the amount required to raise the number to 25 by adding 7 points with 18 horsepower had to be 84 million won.

But more money was spent, so I wondered what was going on.

To be honest, I doubted that he was trying to rip off the confusion.

Jung Daesik rolled his eyes, staring at his entropy, waiting for him to say something.

If there was any questionable corner, I was going to ask right away, but what is this?

Entropy spoke with a very dignified attitude.

"Why? My calculations say it doesn't cost that much!"

"Hey, I tend to be a little ignorant, but I'm not sloppy when it comes to things that cost tens of thousands of won. To deceive..."

"What do you mean by that? Seol, I hope..."

A bad feeling ran through his head, Jung Daesik said with contemplation.

"Isn't the price higher?"

Like it or not, Entropy said calmly.

"what?"

Jung Daesik exclaimed in astonishment.

"Then you mean that you calculated by adding 2 million won to 1 point of magic?"

"What else does that mean?"

"Now, wait a minute. So, from now on, 23 million won, 26 million won, 29 million won... Are you saying that it will go up like this?"

In an instant, the calculator ran through Jung Daesik's head.

900+1,000+1,200+1,400+1,600+1,800+2,000=9,900

After that, entropy was right.

Of course, there was no response such as 'Ah, that's it!'.

Far from agreeing, there was no absurdity, so I was stunned and my nose was stuffed.

"...Then 30 million won will be added to 4 million won each..."

Entropy, who said that, seemed to be suing him somehow.

It wasn't just the feeling.

It was just the nuance of replying that it is the correct answer.

Even if the appearance is nothing more than a speech bubble, that guy called Entropy must have had feelings!

Jung Daesik was furious.

"Wow, this nonsense...! What's so expensive? Multi-level is better than this! Isn't this a complete scammer?"

Seeing Jung Daesik yelling at a whale, entropy continued to speak.

"What is that? Since I was chosen by that god, it's natural to spend so much money, right?"

"That's what the scammers say! You're chosen, you're special, you only have this chance, it's only for you... You deceive people with these kind of mouth-to-mouth words! What's the difference between those scammers?"

Contrary to Jung Daesik, who spit and spit, Entropy continued to speak calmly.

"Hey, I'm a man whose money is as important as my life!"

Jung Daesik, who had been yelling at him, soon vomited.

"No, it's not just me. I'm sure most people in the world are like that. In front of money, you don't need family, friends, conscience or morals! But how can you say that life is more important than money? You're paying the same price as I did! So don't tell me to shut up. Of course I can complain about my situation and protest!"
