Episode 203 Change (3)

* * *

While I was taking a half-body bath and resting for the first time in a long time, I got a call from Ahn Young-ho.

A situation where I asked them not to contact me for about a day, except to sell items.

But judging from the contact I received, it seemed like the item was no longer for sale.

“Hey, Youngho.”

– Brother, the item is sold out. You appraised it quickly, so you found an owner quickly.

“I guess it was an internal sale within the guild.”

– That’s right. It was more popular because it was an item that my brother obtained by killing Toushi Guild guys.

“How much?”

– It’s 79 billion won. Should I deposit it right away? This is the after-tax amount.

“Deposit it right away.”

– Yes, it will be deposited into our guild’s dedicated account. Oh, and some items were blown up and couldn’t be sold.

“I guess so.”

– I’m sorry. It lost its value as an item, so I tried to sell it as a souvenir…

“Fine. I won’t take that even if the country gives it to me.”

Kang-hoo smiled bitterly.

This is why blood clots are a problem.

It is specialized in delivering a fatal blow by detonating the enemy’s accumulated wounds at once.

However, there were more cases than expected where items worn were damaged during the process of the body exploding.

Necklaces, especially those with poor durability, were the main victims of blood poisoning.

It was also an inevitable fate for Kang-hoo, who often targets the neck in his attack repertoire.

This time too, the same thing.

There were more than four items that were broken by bloodshed. Because of that, I was disappointed with the settlement.

Wait a minute, a deposit notification will pop up right away.

– Brother, the money has been deposited!

“Oh, I see. Thanks.”

– Take a rest! I won’t contact you again until you contact me first, hyung!

“Okay. I’ll contact you.”

A phone call that was immediately hung up.

When I checked with my banking app, my account balance was 264.1 billion won.

A creative economy where you kill hunters to make money. It wasn’t intended, but the ending turned out well.

“The era where death becomes money.”

This is a phrase that is also written in the original work.

It is an era where you can kill a hunter, steal his items, and make them your own.

This was also the reason why killings between hunters continued all over the world.

Because it makes money.

In the early days of the Hunter’s era, the power of the police was quite strong, and law and order were somewhat effective.

But now that each for himself has become the default, it’s a different story. No one protects your life.

“First-class items are also slowly… … .”

I’m getting greedy.

A first-class item with a minimum of 500 billion won and a maximum of no price limit.

Kang-hoo was becoming increasingly greedy for a first-class dagger.

As long as there are bad luck gloves.

Even if you are wearing a 1st grade dagger, you can still wear the 2nd grade dagger you are currently wearing, Corrupted Faith.

And then suddenly, a Grade 0 item that could only be made through special fusion under special conditions came to mind.

It’s not something that’s possible right now, as it requires two tier 1 items as materials, but it’s a goal that you’ll face someday.

For this reason, no matter how much money I earn, it feels like it’s not enough.

This is also the hunter’s economy. If you decide to spend it, spending hundreds of billions of won is not a big deal.

“after.”

Kang-hoo let out a hot breath and immersed himself deeply in the bathtub again.

And I checked the stolen constellation information. It was something I had put off because I was looking at the things I needed earlier.

【Invincible】

【Damage is increased by (level difference * 0.1)% against targets of lower level than yourself.】

【Patient】

【When attacking a target with a higher level than you, skill evasion rate increases by (level difference * 0.01)%.】

These were the two constellations that were stolen from Cha So-hyeok. The names are different, but the concept seems similar.

It is a constellation contract that can be meaningfully applied to both the relatively strong and the relatively weak.

Because it works by hitting the weaker guy harder or avoiding the strong guy’s attacks better.

“Somehow, it felt like the hand holding the dagger was going to be torn apart.”

There were several instances in which his sword and dagger clashed during his fight with Cha So-hyeok.

Every time, Kang-hoo’s right hand would tremble beyond the point where it seemed like it was going to break. It was that strong.

I was wondering why, but it seems to be because of the invincible constellation.

The constellation of Patience also looks quite good.

A higher evasion rate means that even if the difference is very small, the possibility of avoiding the skill increases.

【Black Sunset】

【You can change one skill to a skill that utilizes Dark Age in parallel.

To re-specify, you must permanently consume 10 Dark Ages.】

【Successor of the Crossroads】

【You can learn one skill from a hunter you kill.

Upon completion of the study, the contract with the constellation will be converted into a contract that increases Dark Age by 25.】

The two constellations were those stolen by the warlock. As befitting the nature of his profession, the constellations he contracted with were also related to the Dark Age.

“I think it would be best to link Black Sunset with Dae-Beheading… … . The Successor of the Four Lines is on hold for now.”

The fact that we can utilize the Dark Ages in parallel is very significant.

Because it provides one more means to hunt ghost monsters such as the Black Leader or Black Shadow.

Currently, hunting is only possible with Black Moon Slash or basic attacks with low coordination and insufficient firepower.

However, if you can create a parallel skill using the Black Sunset Constellation, that skill will also be included in the available options.

The constellation of the successor of the line allows you to learn one skill by targeting the killed hunter.

It seemed like I had to think about it carefully.

Although it is a skill copy inferior to the previous one, useful skills are not only available to high-level hunters.

【Third Eye】

【You can install a third eye at a designated location and share the field of vision as much as that eye can see.

The third eye is transparent and cannot be seen, but it is sensitive to the flow of mana and can be easily damaged.

“This is for reconnaissance. Although it is a constellation theft, it feels more like the reconnaissance skill has been stolen.”

The third eye stolen by the assassin seemed to have many uses.

When hunters go into a dungeon, the thing they worry about the most is the rear.

We do our best to check for safety before entering, but no one knows who will attack from behind.

If you have a third eye to prepare for this, you can at least be aware of the presence of intruders. Regardless of its meager durability.

The constellations were filled to the brim.

This picture is possible thanks to the Dimension Robber.

It gives you not only items from the hunters you kill, but also an additional benefit called a constellation.

Since it was a privilege that other hunters could not enjoy, I was realizing its specialness once again.

“We need more main constellations.”

Kang-hoo’s thoughts, which seemed to be momentarily satisfied with the usurpation of the constellation, naturally expanded in a different direction.

It was about three constellation slots that were still empty.

The current main constellations, Dimensional Robber, Wilderness Strategist, and Dark Seeker, do not take up any slots.

Although each reason was different, in any case, it was absolutely not a factor that held Kang-hoo back.

I didn’t want to fill it all up impulsively, but I wanted to fill at least one out of three seats.

Although it is said that being cautious is good, being overly frugal is not always a good thing.

When Kang-hoo had a new concern, the three main constellations each expressed their opinions.

【Do whatever you want. You won’t listen to me anyway.】

The Dimensional Robber was the first to show the expected reaction.

That means that even if a new constellation is introduced, her intentions will be respected. Now, Kang-hoo also knows her way of speaking.

【I will support any decision you make if it can help you. No need to worry about what I think.】

The Strategist of the Wilderness is always cheering for the constellation! She also shows the expected reaction.

【Everything is according to the will of the contractor.】

The black-faced seeker also humbly supported Kang-hoo’s decision.

Although he is the highest ranking of the three main constellations, he has never been arrogant or boastful.

So on the one hand, there were parts where I felt nervous. Because I always felt a strange distance.

“Then, the support of the constellation… … .”

At a time when Kang-hoo was trying to appeal to the constellations that were supporting or watching him for the empty space.

A constellation that had been quiet for a while suddenly appeared.

I half intended for him to show up and I was trying to get him to show up, but he got caught. This is the picture I wanted.

【I think it would be nice if I could sit in one seat.】

Catastrophe – that was the word of darkness.

A being within the top 50 of the Great Temple hierarchy, just like the Pure Black Seeker. A being whose name is displayed in gold.

“Have you made up your mind? I’m welcome.”

Kang-hoo spoke in a soft voice.

It’s funny to say this while lying naked in a bathtub, but…

Anyway, the world of the constellations is a world that transcends the realm of humans. There’s no way that such a naked body would be funny.

【Among the beings I have watched, there is no one like you. Or even among the beings I have not watched.】

It’s rave reviews.

I’ve been looking at many hunters, but I haven’t found one as good as Kang-hoo.

“Then shall we join together?”

【I just want to say one thing. It seems that there are constellations in this world that we don’t even know about.

I want to find that constellation, or the contractors who have made a contract with that constellation, with you. It is a deep curiosity.

“I understand what you mean. It seems like you’re still thinking about what happened last time.”

【Otherwise, it would be a lie.】

The wind of God.

Kang-hu also remembers that incident clearly. It was about a constellation that he didn’t even know.

I thought it was like one huge future bait… … but Kang-hoo was currently reserving judgment.

Because it is not a problem that can be answered just by thinking and worrying about it.

As time goes by, new clues or circumstances related to it will naturally be discovered.

Then you can go back and think about it again. There is no need to overthink it.

【The approval of the Great Temple was received a long time ago. Do not proceed with the contract.】

It seems that he had already made up his mind a long time ago and received provisional approval.

But judging from the fact that he kept his mouth shut, it seemed like he really didn’t want to be treated like other constellations.

The constellations are also beings who live off of pride. The Great Calamity – The Heart of Darkness was also fully understood.

【Sitting side by side on the same four thrones… … What a mess.】

The Dimensional Robber grumbled, but I didn’t care. Her expressions were always like that.

The deal was done in an instant.

Since the approval of the Great Temple was completed and there were no objections from either party regarding the contract, things went smoothly.

and.

Within the Great Calamity – Three new contract perks related to the Dark Constellation have been revealed.

【First. By utilizing the contractor’s unique mana recovery ability, you can smoothly recover from the dark period at that speed.

However, in the process, the overload on the body increases five times more than before.】

‘It’s okay. If you use it too often, you’ll end up a complete wreck, but otherwise, it’s the best for emergency recovery.’

Is it because it is a constellation that is in a hurry?

From the beginning, a special feature has been released that completely resolves the areas that Kang-hoo has always regretted.

Kang-hoo’s eyes brightened even more at the thought of the other two special features that he couldn’t help but look forward to.

It was a look of anticipation.
