He pretended not to know anything and turned his back on the group, roasting venison he had taken out of subspace over a campfire.

At first, he seemed wary, but soon he looked around and confirmed that there were no other people around, and approached without hesitation.

As I approached, I saw him coughing and making noises, so I thought he had some basic manners.

I turned around at the sound of a cough.

“Excuse me.”

“Ah, yes. Hello.”

“Am I alone?”

“Yes, that’s right. Why is that?”

“No, this place is a bit close to the city, but it’s a bit dangerous to be alone. And you’re even lighting a fire. If you do that, you’ll be in big trouble. To be honest, I wouldn’t stop you from committing suicide alone, but this is the middle of the road leading to the city entrance. If a bunch of medium-sized monsters show up, they could harm other hunters as well.”

“Oh, really? I didn’t know that. I guess you can’t light fires these days?”

“Yes? Well… that’s right.”

“Thank you for the good advice. I almost got into big trouble. Well, let’s put out the fire first…”

Min-ki immediately turned off the fire and hurriedly packed his (makeshift) luggage.

It’s a luggage that I made by finding a small backpack in subspace and stuffing random things into it to make it look real.

And then he got up naturally and appeared to be following the group.

The group of hunters seemed rather bewildered by his calm behavior.

“Oh. Sorry for the late greeting. My name is Jeong Min-gi.”

“Yes. Nice to meet you. My name is Choi Hyun-sik. I am based in Cheonan and run a small but regular attack force.”

“Yes. I’m a bit of a wanderer. Anyway, I was a bit confused because I got lost, so I’m glad we met like this. Please accompany me to the city.”

Min-ki’s plan immediately went awry.

After hearing Min-ki’s words, the group of hunters exchanged glances with each other and immediately formed a large formation to pressure Min-ki.

This is a pattern I’ve been seeing a lot today.

‘This is the formation used when fighting medium-sized, high-level monsters… What’s wrong with it?’

“Why are you doing this? What did I do wrong?”

“Is this person?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hmm. But no matter how I look at it, I think you’re my ‘doppelganger’?”

“A doppelganger? Oh. So that’s what you suspected. No. This is a person.”

“Then can I use detection magic on you?”

“Well, if you need to, then do it. I’ll stay still.”

The hunter group is surprised by the calm response.

Well, in this world where monsters run wild, I waited alone by a campfire, so was the setting a bit strange?

“#@$@#$ #@$@#$ #$@#$ @#$#@ $%$# $#% Monster Exploration~!”

The woman standing in the last row, protected by warriors, mutters for a while before using magic.

‘Hmm. It’s a form of mana exploration that twists things a bit to find specific mana.’

“Huh? It’s not a monster?”

“Really? Are you human?”

“I don’t know if they’re human, but they’re not monsters I can search for. Doppelgangers are considered medium-sized and top-tier, and I can search up to large-sized ones.”

“hmm……..”

“Has the misunderstanding been resolved now?”

Min-ki, who had been watching the situation, spoke up.

“Yes. First of all, I apologize for the misunderstanding. Please understand even if you feel bad. It just seems so suspicious. Aren’t you lighting a bonfire in the middle of a monster rampage? And you’re traveling(?) with such a small luggage? I can’t help but misunderstand.”

“Ah~. That’s because of this.”

Min-ki opens the magic pocket and takes out a folding tent.

I’ve been watching them all day, and judging from what happened just now, they don’t seem to be that bad of people.

“Oh my gosh! It’s a magic pocket.”

“Wow… that expensive thing? Wow. Now that I look at it, you’re really rich.”

“Hahaha. Well, I’m not rich, but I’m not poor. Anyway, if the misunderstanding has been resolved, can I accompany you to the city?”

“Yes, that’s good.”

Finally, we join up with the group of hunters and enter the city.

Well, you could just infiltrate the city after becoming a spirit or transparent, but since you’ve already watched them, it doesn’t seem like a bad idea to follow them.

“I~~”

The female magician who used the magic search spell on Min-gi earlier approaches and speaks to him.

“Yes. Go ahead.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Choi Mira. As you can see, I’m a wizard. I’m level 4.5.”

“Level 4.5?”

“Huh?? You don’t know the Awakened level? Weren’t you an Awakened?”

“Ah~. That’s true. I haven’t been in Korea for a while. So I don’t really know anything about what’s going on these days. I came from a completely uninhabited island in a foreign country.”

“Hmm… It’s definitely not a monster. It’s really suspicious.”

“Hahaha. To say that so openly……”

“I’m a bit more honest. My brother keeps telling me to be careful.”

“Brother?”

“The company commander over there is my older brother.”

“Ah~ So Choi Hyun-sik is your older brother.”

“yes.”

“But what exactly does level 4.5 mean? Does it mean 4 circles?”

“Ah~. It’s been a long time since you came to Korea, hasn’t it? Judging from the way you use the word ‘circle.’”

“Aren’t they using it these days? Back then, they were divided into circles… hmm..”

“These days, they’re called levels. They divide each level into upper, middle, and lower, and add 0.x. The official name is Level 4, Intermediate. However, it’s annoying, so everyone just calls it Level 4.5. Lower is Level 4.0, and Upper is Level 4.9.”

“Ah. I see. So it’s 4 circles, right?”

According to Min-gi’s observations, this female magician named Choi Mira is a 4th circle.

“Yes, that’s right. Are you a wizard?”

“Me? Why do you think so?”

“First of all, you’re not a monster, but you’re so calm. And judging by your body, you don’t look like an unmanned person. Judging by the fact that you use that expensive magic pocket so calmly, I can guess that you’re a high-circle wizard. The irony is that someone as young as you can’t possibly be a high-circle wizard. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t come up with an answer. In fact, that’s why I came.”

“Haha. As expected, you are honest. I am a wizard.”

“I assumed you were a wizard. Okay. Excuse me.”

Choi Mira returned to her fever as if she had no regrets at all.

Min-ki is in the second row, and Choi Mira’s position is in the fourth row.

Then, as soon as he turns around, he hits the back of the head of the warrior holding the shield.

“Give me the money. You’re a wizard.”

“Damn it~!! What’s the evidence?”

“Why do you need proof? You say you’re a wizard? Do you want to be grilled by magic for once? Just by looking at you, I look like a high-ranking wizard who wouldn’t even be able to hand out business cards.”

“Really? He’s more skilled than you?”

“Yeah. Maybe… I can’t even guess. I don’t feel any discomfort at all. I tried approaching them just in case and talking to them, but… not at all. If they were 5 levels higher than me, I would feel discomfort. If they were 6 levels, I would feel a slight discomfort. I have no idea. Surely they’re not 7 levels? Or on the contrary, they could be a really low-level wizard. If they’re wearing a special artifact, they could hide their aura. Of course, there aren’t many fools who would spend money on something like that, but if they’re carrying around a magic pocket… (omission)….”

“Wow~ This is totally ……..(omission)…….”

Min-ki’s ears were itchy so much.

They thought Choi Mira wouldn’t hear, so they whispered quietly among themselves, but Min-ki heard everything.

‘This is so cute, but it’s a little embarrassing.’

We entered the city formerly known as Cheonan.

Unlike Maldek, there was no procedure such as a background check.

However, judging from the fact that the same ‘Monster Search’ magic that Choi Mira used at the entrance was constantly in operation, it seems that there are more monsters than expected who are trying to transform into humans and enter the city.

In fact, in addition to doppelgangers, there are quite a few beast-type monsters that can transform into humans, such as lycanthropes.

“Okay. Now that we’ve entered Cheonan, should we part ways here? We have to sell the monster byproducts. We have some work to do.”

“If it’s not too much trouble, can we just sell monster byproducts together? I don’t know much about it.”

“Well, let’s do that.”

Choi Hyun-sik and his party turned left at the main gate and walked along a busy commercial street.

After walking for about 5 minutes, we came across a row of about 10 stores that looked like they were places to buy monster byproducts and such.

It felt like I was in a cattle market alley.

It was a place full of dynamic energy, with the byproducts of various monsters hanging like a butcher’s shop and people bargaining with groups that appeared to be hunters.

Choi Hyun-sik and his party walked straight ahead without even looking, all the way to the last store to see if there were any regulars.

Only Min-gi was interested in watching the various transactions taking place in the store.

“Sir~”

“Oh. Is Captain Choi here? Did you catch anything useful today?”

“Today was another waste of time. I was just competing with sheep. I managed to catch a troll and draw its blood.”

“That’s fortunate. Let’s see. Take it out.”

“yes.”

As Choi Hyun-sik finished speaking, the two shield warriors behind him stepped forward.

He puts two large double-bag-like bags down on a large table and takes out various monster byproducts from the bags.

I kept seeing them while hunting, but they use the ‘space expansion bag’ used by the merchants of Maldek.

Without something like that, it would be difficult to store all that luggage after a day of hunting.

Unless you use a large pickup truck.

“Hmm… It’s really nothing special, just like you said. Hmm. This is the Lizardman’s slash. Did you go to the reservoir?”

“Yes. I heard rumors that people saw mermaids or mermen at Yongyeon Reservoir, so I came back after a lot of trouble.”

“Hahaha. Even a veteran like you gets swayed by such groundless rumors. Hahaha.”

“I was just trying to grab onto straws. These days, expensive monsters are disappearing so much. How am I going to make a living like this?”

“But where else can you find people who make as much money as hunters? Let’s see. 15 orc molars, 150kg leather, 20kg troll leather, 150 liters of troll skin, 70kg saber tiger leather…….. (omitted)…… 4,600 Ma of energy crystals.”

The shop owner diligently enters the quantity of by-product into his tablet PC.

The price of the corresponding item is automatically displayed on large monitors installed on the left and right of the store.

It seems like it’s input every time I take a picture of an item at the mart.

At first glance, it looks like a medieval environment like Maldek, but seeing all kinds of cutting-edge devices being used gives it a new feel.

“Okay. By-product 75,060,000 won. Energy crystal 4,600 Ma. Today’s price is 19,340 won per Ma, so it’s 88,964,000 won. If we add it up, it’s 164,024,000 won. How should I send it to your account?”

“Yes. Please deposit it into my account.”

“Okay. The remittance is complete. Thank you again today.”

“Where can you find a trader who doesn’t play with the price list? You can trust them.”

“That’s right. What are you doing just to make a few more pennies? That’s why the collectors keep getting blamed. Tsk tsk. What are you going to do if the hunters leave for other cities…?”

“Anyway, thank you.”

After greeting the store owner, Team Leader Choi Hyeon-sik(?) starts talking to his team members, naturally clicking on something similar to a smartwatch on his wrist.

“Okay, everyone, I got it. Distribution will follow the existing rules. Since you’ve deposited the total amount, it will be distributed automatically. Does anyone else have any questions?”

“no.”

“I’ll distribute it once or twice. The distribution ratio is right. It’s accurate~”

“Okay, Mr. Jeong Min-gi. What are you going to do now?”

“Oh. Thank you. You’ve been a great help. Before we part, I have one question. How much does it cost to stay at a motel for one night?”

“A motel? Well, it depends on the level of the motel, but it’s usually around 50,000 to 100,000 won.”

“Oh. Thank you. Where is the motel?”

“The motels are located along the main road on the right. It’s about a 10-minute walk. That’s the downtown area.”

“thank you.”

I caught the situation where it was going back to roughly guessing.

Min-ki is the same as Choi Hyun-sik’s hunter group. No, he said hunter.

Anyway, I broke up with that hunter group.

However, Min-gi headed to the store from earlier, not the downtown area.

The shop owner and his employees were busy moving the monster byproducts that Choi Hyun-sik’s party had put down to a place like a warehouse inside.

“Huh? You’re the friend that came with Captain Choi earlier? This is my first time seeing you.”

“Yes. I arrived in Cheonan today. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Korea.”

“Okay. What’s the matter? What do you have for sale?”

“Yes. I’ll sell you some energy crystals.”

“Let me see.”

“Min-ki takes out 10 energy crystals from his magic pocket.”

“Yeah. These are the energy crystals of small monsters. There are more of them than I thought. You must be quite skilled. Even though they are small, they come in groups, so it wouldn’t have been easy to deal with them.”

“Haha. Well. So-so. How much is this?”

“Wait a minute…. That’s 350 Ma in total. That’s 6,769,000 won. How should I pay you? Account?”

“No. Please give me cash. I don’t have any cash.”

“Okay. Just a moment.”
