-1 Volume 6

Jung Daesik was annoyed.

'It doesn't go up every 10 points, but it goes up every 1 point? Isn't this a complete scam? What's so expensive? If you raise a few dozen points, you will eat billions!'

But it was no use trying to complain about cancer.

If it's someone else, I'll try to bargain, but this isn't the case. I had no choice but to give him the money he asked for.

'Damn!'

In his mind, he didn't want to spend money on his abilities.

However, Jung Daesik, who has been a porter for several years, has seen and heard many things.

Among the dogs, the first thing that came to mind was the timing of the hunters' deaths. The time when the hunters died the most was the first hunt.

He seemed to have become an Awakened without knowing it, so he went into the dungeon excitedly and just died right away. I've seen such cases in real life, and it's a fact that's also shown as statistical data, so I couldn't go into the dungeon naked without any preparation.

He had to preserve his life as much as he could, so raising the mana level was considered very important.

'I'm not a healer, I'm not a tank, I'm a dealer. Dealers are the first to attack. If you clumsily distribute your investment in defense, you will not be able to eat or porridge. So, since you bought a weapon from a ranged dealer, you should think about using this weapon to the fullest. To do that, we have no choice but to increase his magical power.'

The conclusion was that the horsepower level had to be raised.

Jung Daesik invested the money with blood and tears.

He paid 27 million won in the shop to buy magic points.

'Once I raised the magic power to 17. The bankbook is empty, but once the money has been spent, it is unavoidable. What is important is how much attack power has risen.'

Jung Daesik pointed the gun again and fired at the target.

Taang!

'Five!'

Unlike before, the sound of magic bullets being fired resounded loudly.

A deafening noise resounds, and the target shouts 'Puck!' and exploded

At the same time, the displayed attack power has been greatly increased.

'Attack power has risen to 340! From the point of view that the target is broken, is it okay if I do this?'

After more practice for the rest of the time, Jung Daesik captured his weapon.

When he came out, the material that evaluated his skills was automatically printed out.

Looking at the total score, it was marked as 8th grade.

If it was an 8th grade one-dil, it was considerable for a beginner level.

Since a beginner is usually a 10th grader, I didn't even hear the sound of being a beginner wherever I went.

He said, 'He spent an unexpected amount of money, but it was well worth it. Instead, other equipment should be bought as cheaply as possible.'

Jung Daesik headed to the flea market in his back alley where his arms shop was located.

There was a street selling all kinds of old goods from the dungeon.

From worn-out armor to bloody clothes, worn flints, boots, gloves, breastplates, backpacks, etc.

there was nothing

From there, Jung Daesik picked and picked up the rest of the equipment as cheaply as possible.

He didn't have enough money to buy armor, so he bought an old leather jacket and pants, gloves and a walker.

Other than that, he got goggles fitted with tempered glass, a hat-type helmet made of tempered plastic, a water bottle with purification function and a belt with a multi-purpose hook, a 30-meter-long wire rope that never breaks, and a stealth sleeping bag.

With that, the bank account balance was completely exhausted.There were only a few dozen left, so I started feeling depressed.

It felt like he wasted his fortune in one morning and was left on the brink.

'Even with the most basic equipment, it costs a lot of money.'

Jung Daesik sighed and logged out of mobile banking.

Then, at a nearby market, I filled my stomach with a bowl of soup for 4,000 won and devised a hunt straight away.

'The nearest dungeon from here is S7. Because there are so many people looking for a slicer pot there......'

Jung Daesik found a public bulletin board that was recruiting newcomers.

I selected the S7 from the categories divided by dungeons.

Then several posts came to mind.

'Let's see...'

Jung Daesik, who picked a suitable article from there, sent a note to the author of the post.

- It's a one-deal, shooter. Can I join the hunt today?

The reply came right away.

-Available. Do you have time right now?

-Yes, I'll be there in 30 minutes.

-Then I'll see you there on the first floor.

Jung Daesik hesitated a bit, and then he added.

- Oh, but I'm a beginner. Still, I have some experience as a porter, so I know a bit about hunting.

Then the other person did not speak for a while.

He seemed to be contemplating whether or not to take Jung Daesik, who is a beginner.

But it wasn't long before I got an answer.

-Fine. Everyone has a beginner's day. If you've ever worked as a porter, you probably know this.

-thank you. Then I'll see you later.

Making an appointment at super-fast speed, Jung Daesik puts his phone down.

Then, after slurping the cold soup, he got up from his seat.

'This feels new again!'

S7 Dungeon.

It means that it is the seventh dungeon in Seoul.

S7 was one of the most popular dungeons in the area.

It is located in Seoul, so it can be accessed by subway, and it is quite large for a dungeon in the city center.

There were various kinds of monsters, and it was always crowded with people.

Thanks to this, Jung Daesik also visited this place several times.

Of course, he always came as a porter.

When I became a hunter instead of a porter, I had a new feeling.

'I came here as a hunter.'

Jung Daesik walked around constantly, as if he were coming to the dungeon for the first time.

Then he suddenly patted his back.

"Hey!"

I turned around and saw a familiar face.

"Uh, Chul-min Han. It's been a while."

Like Jung Daesik, Han Cheol-min worked as a porter.

He and Jung Daesik worked together as his peers often met in the vicinity.

He sometimes asked for work, but I wondered if today was that day.

"Are you going to work right now? My brother-in-law called me to go hunting here today. That's why, let's go together. Just give me a fee of 100,000 won!"

The personnel office usually deducted 10% of the daily rate for the introduction fee.

If you want to save that money, you can get a job directly from the hunter.

Occasionally, porters who were close with the Hunter would ask for a job like this and recruit people directly.

And the work was distributed at a lower price than the manpower office.

Of course he was willing, so Jung Daesik almost reflexively replied 'yes'.

But today he did not come here as a porter.

He had come as a hunter, so he hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

"No, I'm fine."

"Ugh? What are you doing?"

“I just have some business to do.”

At that moment, someone came closer waving his hand.

He was Man-ki Hong, who worked with Jung Daesik yesterday.

He was probably introduced to a job by Han Cheol-min, and he made a friendly face and pretended to know Han Cheol-min.

"Hey, Cheol-min Han! Thanks for contacting me! Even so, the line in front of the manpower office was really long today.

Then, one beat later, I saw Jung Daesik and stopped walking.

"Uh! Jung Daesik... Why are you here?"

Han Cheol-min did not know why Hong Man-ki was surprised to see Jung Daesik.

Not thinking that he was awakened, he explained the situation to Man-ki Hong again.

"There aren't enough people, but Daeshik also ran into this guy. The three of us should go together."

Then Hong Man-gi slapped Han Cheol-min on the shoulder.

" Jung Daesik Why is this guy working with us?"

"why not?"

" Jung Daesik woke up yesterday!"

"What?"

As if Hong Man-ki had been waiting for Han Cheol-min, who was surprised and questioned, he staggered.

"Well, I'm sweeping away the slime, and all of a sudden a light comes out of that guy's body.

Hong Man-ki, who talked exaggeratedly for a long time, finally came to a conclusion.

"...and that's how Jung Daesik won the lottery. It's not like this. He's a different person from us now. Now he's a hunter."

Then Han Cheol-min opened his mouth wide.

"Really? Hunter? Jung Daesik is you?"

At Han Cheol-min's question, Jung Daesik meekly nodded his head."That's right."

"Oh my gosh!"

Cheol-min Han, who couldn't believe it, glanced at Jung Daesik anew.

"Somehow, you said that you're dressed differently today. I thought that a yellow person like you was dressed strangely and coolly... Hey, it's so plausible. You look like a real hunter."

Seeing Cheol-Min Han and Man-Gi Hong making a fuss, Jung Daesik was embarrassed and scratched the back of the head.

Excessive admiration was burdensome, but such a reaction was not unpleasant.

Actually, I was just surprised.

Jung Daesik, who was a porter, became a hunter overnight...

"Hey, it's good anyway. If you have a job in the future, please find us."

"Yeah, I have other things to do today, but it's unreasonable."

The two guys who were talking congratulations remembered their work belatedly.

And now he said goodbye to me that I should go.

"We're going to be late. We'll talk more later."

"If you make good money, buy me a drink!"

Jung Daesik also had to hurry in order not to be late for his appointment.

So, I left a message telling you to contact me soon.

Previously, Jung Daesik should have gone with them, but today the direction is different.

He passed the long line of his manpower office and headed straight for the dungeon entrance.

* * *

At the entrance of the dungeon, a large 'S7D' guide sign stood like a subway station or tourist attraction.

Interestingly, there are no other features to be found.

Strictly speaking, a dungeon was an 'entrance'. It is like a door leading to another space. After passing through the entrance, a space quite different from the Earth environment appeared.

Complex roads and numerous rooms leading to the ground or underground. It looked like a dungeon in the game without fail.

The only difference was that, unlike the game, it was full of realism in a good or bad sense.

The first floor of the S7 dungeon was nothing like the market floor.

Since the S7 Dungeon is so famous, it was difficult to find any sense of mystery.

There were a lot of bulletin boards here and there, and it was crowded with people with various purposes.

From merchants who deal with hunters entering the dungeon, to hunters who came out for direct trade, to blacksmiths and wizards who simply want to repair weapons or cast protective magic.

It was also the hunters who accounted for the most weight in the crowd.

Most of them were people who came out of the barracks.

Makgong is the opposite of a formal raid called Jeonggong. Literally, it means to form a team from time to time according to need or purpose. Usually, such a makgong was a mess in its composition.

In the case of healers and buffers, there was no reason to be involved in the last ball. It's hard to see in this place because it's taken from Jeonggong.

Therefore, the mak-gong were mostly dealers. Although the types of occupations were slightly different, they were all unwilling or close.

They usually aim for recruitment in the hole. Occasionally, in order to save power in order to defeat the targeted monster in the hole, there were cases where the dealer was taken to the dealer for shielding or dagger disposal.

However, if you wear it, you could be compensated separately, although there would be some risk.

Not only that, but everyone wanted the position because it was possible to build up a good experience. If you were lucky enough to hit the jackpot, you could get an unexpected extra income.

If you show your skills well, you will also get a chance to be scouted in the field of work.

But such a place was rare. Even if there was such a place, it was a story that did not apply to a beginner like Jung Daesik.
