- Volume 3 Episode 3

Jung Daesik sang his hum as he left the monster dump.

And he always found the bean sprouts haejangguk house he wanted 6,000 for a bowl.

'Kya~ It's because it's a rewarding meal to work and eat, it's delicious!'

Jung Daesik had a luxury that had never been seen before, because the taste of the soup was amazing.

"Here, just a bottle of soju, please!"

There will be no tea anyway, so I wanted to have a nice drink in commemoration of beating the cowardly ones.

During this time, money was scarce, so I never drank alcohol.

I don't know if it's a place where everyone gets along, but when I'm alone, I couldn't find a reason to drink.

But today, I got excited and bought a bottle of soju, which costs a whopping 3,000 won.

As he drank soju with the rest of the broth as a snack, Jung Daesik briefly thought about what to do next.

'The power of A-class items was sufficiently confirmed. With this level of skill, you can choose and enter any raid. I'm looking for a raid that looks good... and I need to organize some things. We need to dispose of the unnecessary rainbow cow bone knuckles and sell the weapons we stole today. But do I have to go to the arms store again? That's annoying.'

When Jung Daesik was thinking about emptying a bottle of soju.

A group of hunters entered the soup house.

He had just finished hunting and the atmosphere was quite exciting.

They took a seat near the Jung Daesik and raised their voices and chattered, afraid to sit down.

"Hey, today's hunting was fine."

"Yeah, it was pretty cool. I'll be able to replace the equipment only with this."

But one of the dogs said as he took the gloves off his hands.

"Ugh, it's been a while since my knuckle cracked, so I was worried that it might break while hunting."

"Let's see. Didn't you fix it right away! It's about to lose its taste. Now it can't be used even if it's repaired?"

"Is that right? Should I buy a new one?"

"Still, knuckles aren't that expensive."

"Aeg, don't say you don't know! Knuckles are also weapons, and useful ones are quite expensive."

As I listened to their stories, my ears perked up.

Jung Daesik thought about it for a moment and then started talking to them.

"Hey?"

"......Yes? What's going on?"

Jung Daesik showed the knuckle he had on the knuckle to the glasses he was wearing.

"If it's okay, won't you buy this? I'll sell it to you at a low price."

Glasses looked at it and said.

"Isn't this a rainbow cow bone knuckle? It must be quite a valuable item. Are you going to sell it to me?"

"Ah, that's because another knuckle was created, so it's useless. Going to the arms store and reselling it is a hassle, and I've heard that you need a knuckle.

"Hmm."

Glasses looked again at her rainbow bovine knuckles.

Then she glanced at the knuckle that Jung Daesik was wearing.

Jung Daesik caressed his knuckles with a soft smile with a natural temperament of a merchant.

"Oh, this? This is an A-grade item. It's made of adamant."

"Wow, just in case! You mean adamant?"

To the admiring glasses, Jung Daesik showed a kindness.

"It's a hard-to-find item, but I was lucky. Actually, I wouldn't have sold Rainbow Cow Bone Knuckles if it wasn't for Adamant Knuckles. As you know, weapons made from Rainbow Cow Bone perform well, aren't they? It's different from normal knuckles. Because it has a flash effect."

"Ah! Flash effect! Yeah, that's right. They say that's the case with weapons made from rainbow cow bones."

"That's what I'm saying because I've used it myself, but it's really useful. Especially if your position is a tank... Just looking at it, you're a tanker, right?"

"Yeah, it's a tank."

"If you're a tank, you need this knuckle. It's perfect for turning monsters around. It doesn't break easily, and it has excellent resilience."

"Hey... is it?"

"Actually, I also got that knuckle with difficulty. Originally, it was used by a senior I knew... that senior..."

Jung Daesik unleashed a whole bunch of stories to keep the other person out of their minds.

When I told a fictional saga while selling a senior who didn't exist, the glasses looked completely lost in their soul.

Jung Daesik licked his lips as he gave out a precious drink, eventually selling the knuckles for a higher price than he had bought.

"Ah, it feels good. I bought the knuckle, so I'll show you some other equipment. This is what my brother knows. It's not as good as the knuckle, but it's worth it. I'll give it to you for free, so why not take it?"

Jung Daesik also lured other hunters in the cold and sold all the equipment they had ripped off from the hunters.

It's true that I gave it away at a low price, but it wasn't something I got for free anyway!

Even if it was only a few hundred, it was ssultry. The amount of money he earned from doing so was nearly ten million won.

Jung Daesik, who dazzled them with his witty speaking skills, quickly left the hunters before they came to their senses.

"Then I hope you have fun hunting with good equipment, hahaha!"

Episode 15. Titan Raid Audition

"The shop upgrade is too expensive."

Jung Daesik was frustrated while thinking about upgrading the shop due to the problem of subspace expansion.

He needed a whopping 1 billion dollars to make entropy to Lv4 along with the shop.

Even if he added the 100 million won he received from the last Zodiac raid and the 900 million he earned from hunting, he almost had to throw away the money he had.

Since there is no money to spend right now, there was no problem even if I spent 1 billion won in cash.

However, due to Jung Daesik's constitution, if his bankbook was too empty, he felt uneasy.

Besides, if it wasn't for subspace expansion and entropy performance improvement, the store upgrade wasn't urgent.

Not long ago, by acquiring an A-grade item, his skills improved dramatically.

Thanks to this, he had not yet felt the exhaustion of his abilities.

Most of all, he couldn't decide which raid he would be in.

Once you're in the raid and positioned, you'll be given directions on which abilities you need to improve.

It was a hasty move to use the money you have now to upgrade the shop.

I don't know if there's a payoff from the Zodiac raid...

"Hey, why are these settlements so late?"

Jung Daesik grunted and turned on his laptop.

The settlement method Jung Daesik chose was the second of the three methods, 'share the profits from the dungeon'.

If he has the money, it's okay to look for long-term returns in the direction of investing, but he also declined an offer to scout in the Zodiac Raid, so he didn't have enough money.

He decided that it was not yet the time to think about long-term investments, so he chose an easy settlement method.

At that time, the settlement money will come in as soon as the by-products of the monsters obtained from the dungeon raid and the evaluation of the magic stone are finished and disposed of.

However, since it was the first attack of a newly created dungeon, it seemed that it took quite a while to get an emotion.

It's been almost a month since I've been there and there's still no news.

Mumbling, I'm sure I won't stop, Jung Daesik entered the page he had bookmarked with the laptop he had turned on.

There was a job posting page for a raid floating on it.

"It's the titan raid..."

Jung Daesik muttered to himself and stared intently at the page.

Attack on Titan was founded about three years ago, and it was not a very famous place until now.

It's because they didn't hire such a famous person who would be known by any hunter.Unlike regular raids, the Titan raid didn't scout.

They posted job postings periodically every season.

And they recruited crews only through auditions.

In other words, they were selected based on the balance of the entire raid, based on skill rather than fame.

Because of that, it has grown steadily and has become one of the best small and medium-sized raids.

In particular, it was rumored to be a preferred raid by hunters, and unlike large raids that regard the lives of crews as a one-time use or small and medium raids that are focused only on raising income, it is because they prioritize the safety of their crews.

As a result, as the number of job postings increased, the number of applicants increased.

This time, I saw if the competition was going to explode.

Just by looking through the bulletin boards of the Hunter community, I was able to understand that fact well.

Everyone asked about the recruitment guidelines for the Titan Raid, and when they disclosed their specifications, they asked if this would be enough.

However, since the judging criteria for Titan were quite strict, no one could come up with a plausible answer.

It wasn't just that they were strong enough, but it was an atmosphere where I couldn't change my mind.

As I read through these articles one by one, I became more and more convinced of my heart.

'okay. The more I look, the more I think this is the place I should go.'

The titan raid met the requirements of the raid Jung Daesik.

A place where the scale is not very large, it is not a newly established place, the welfare of the members is good, and the contract period is 6 months to 1 year.

The Titan was right there.

I also liked that the crew was selected only through auditions.

Not hiring celebrities means that they don't care about their external image.

The reason for recruiting famous hunters from various industries was, of course, a power problem, but there was also a desire to become famous.

This is because this reputation is essential for small raids to become large raids.

There was a limit to the growth of one raid on its own.

There are ways to hit the jackpot in the dungeon or make a good investment by the engineer, but it is not easy.

It is necessary to make a steady income while maintaining a steady number of operators, but there are many unexpected factors.

If a crew member is sacrificed while hunting, compensation must be made according to the terms of the contract, as well as the loss of equipment or equipment.

Depending on the type of dungeon you want to attack, the preparation cost is also insignificant, and there is no guarantee that the hunt will be completed successfully as much as you have invested.

In fact, the reason that most of the small and medium-sized attack squads close their doors after not exceeding the critical point of 2-3 years is because of operating at a loss.

Even if the engineering leader who founded the raid was robbed of his personal funds and paid the initial cost, if he did not succeed in hunting successively, he would go bankrupt.

Even if it turned into a surplus, it was easy for problems between people to arise.
