LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 22
Chapter 022 Do you still have more to sell?
All that was left was to close the gate.
“Do you have any good methods?”
I smiled at Yihui’s question.
“How could I have come here without any means? Besides, Lee Hui is there. It might be easier.”
“yes? me?”
There are two main ways to close the gate.
Killing the boss monster or all creatures in the dungeon to get out of the dungeon before it closes.
However, the glowing mole tunnel was not a place to approach so simply.
“The moment someone lays a finger on that treasure, these guys will go on alert just like before.”
Since you don’t know how much time it will give you after dealing with the moles, you have to take the reward first and then deal with the moles.
By the way, the moment you touch them, they will notice and run like ghosts.
It was our homework to get rid of that dilemma.
So, I had a plan originally prepared, but I decided to choose an easier path because Lee Hui was there.
“By the way, while Lee Hui-nim is here, they know us as one member. As proof of that, when Lee Hui-nim picked up an artifact earlier, they didn’t take any action.”
As long as Lee Hui’s characteristic, the monarch, is being exercised, the guys will obey Yi Hui.
“I heard and saw it. I guess it’s because of my personality.”
“Then, shall we begin?”
“I see what you mean. I don’t know if I can control it, but I’ll give it a try.”
Yihui closed her eyes and began to use her abilities.
Me, Soo-yeon, and Min-young began to put jewelry and artifacts around us.
Crack?!
Certainly, when we touched the jewels, they raised their heads and began to be alert.
“wait.”
Yi Hui, who opened her eyes soon after, spoke.
Surprisingly, the guys didn’t rush and were looking at Lee Hui.
“It works. However, I don’t know how long I can hold on to it. Instinct cannot be controlled.”
That was right.
Monsters are those whose instincts take precedence.
Right now, I succumb to Lee Hui’s power, but the act of continuing to put jewels could be a stimulus.
At some point, it was obvious that he would run out of control and run.
‘Gilliant, please.’
He opened the magic bag wide and asked Gillian to use the magic he requested in advance.
This was one of the original plans.
[This case can’t be done with just chicken. As promised, jewels must also be given.]
‘Don’t worry about that.’
[Then let’s begin.]
Inside the necklace, Gillian chanted a spell.
Surprisingly, all the jewels and artifacts piled up here and there in a wide area began to be sucked into the pocket.
“Wow, is this magic?”
“Can something like this work?”
“Awesome!”
Soo-yeon, Min-yeong, and Lee Hwi would have thought that this magic was what I was doing.
[Idiots! I’m doing it!]
‘They can’t hear me anyway.’
[Hmph, pay for your hard work properly.]
‘Is it you who taught me this method in the first place?’
[I dug my own grave… … Tsk.]
After talking about the luminous mole and sharing my concerns, Gillian told me there was a simple way.
According to the original plan, Gilliant would put the jewels in his pocket while the boys and I dealt with the mole, but with Lee Hui, we had enough time to collect the jewels without having to fight hard.
“Now we are approaching the limit.”
Seeing Lee Hui talking while looking into the air, it seemed like a warning message about the limit of the skill appeared.
[finished.]
Gilliant’s magic ended just in time, and I quickly closed the pocket and put it into my bosom.
“Lee Hwi! You can release it now!”
“I will solve it! be careful!”
Yihui, who was behind us, unlocked his ability.
At the same time, the moles started charging with their claws.
kyaaak!
I activated Adelina’s spear skill that I had previously linked while taking out the spear from the storage box.
Hwareuk!
The approaching guys flinched at the flames coming from the tips of their spears, then growled with their long front teeth.
“There are a lot of them, is it okay? What about using my traits to escape?”
“It’s not possible. If we don’t deal with it right here and now, these guys will come after us and tear the whole city down.”
Luminous moles whose eyes have been robbed of theirs will chase to the ends of hell to get their treasure back.
So I had to settle the matter here and close the gate properly.
“Then I will help.”
Yihui then took out a sword from his pack and lifted it. I didn’t know there was a sword because it was mixed in the pile of luggage, but was it possible to do swordsmanship?
“Can you do swordsmanship too?”
“Since then, I have also learned Wushu as well as 5th Dan in Kendo.”
Saying that, Lee Hwi took a nose-raising ceremony.
Whether it was nonsense, his posture showed no gaps.
Kiek!
And at the same time, the moles started to glow.
*
Kiek!
“Huck, huck.”
After a long 2-hour fight, I was able to defeat even the luminous mole boss.
The number of objects was greater than expected.
In front of us, there were a lot of luminous moles left behind with awakening stones.
[The dungeon has been cleared.]
[15:00]
The gate disappeared without a trace when I came out with the Awakening Stone.
[The Link Master’s level has risen.]
[Yoo Seo-jun]
*Feature (2)▼
[Elementalist][C2 user]▶
[Link Master][LV.10]▶
The Link Master’s level, which had been steadily rising, reached 10.
He has been steadily training mana, but there has been no change in his circle yet.
[A new attribute skill can be learned.]
[Do you want to learn the new attribute skill ‘Card Combination’?]
When I reached level 10, what appeared to be a new skill was ‘Card Combination’.
Because it was already full of 4 skills, I had to give up one to learn a skill.
Attribute Skills[4/4]▼
┗Card Storage – Characters, Equipment
┗Card Draw – Character, Equipment
┗Purchasing Cards – Characters, Equipment
┗Card link
Excluding storage and link, which were like essential skills, it was drawing and purchasing, but the answer was as if it had been decided.
[‘Card purchase’ skill and ‘Card combination’ skill are swapped.]
Attribute Skills[4/4]▼
┗Card Storage – Characters, Equipment
┗Card Draw – Character, Equipment
┗Card Combination – Character, Equipment
┗Card link
I was surprised to look at it before, but too many points go into purchasing.
Of course, there is the advantage of being able to pick what you want without being random, but since the combination came out, it seemed more beneficial to draw with the points you gathered.
[Card combination]
Combine two cards of the same rank to get a higher rank card.
[1 Combination X 5 Awakening Stones]
[1 Combination X 500 Points]
Goods did not enter differently depending on the grade, but the higher grade was confirmed. Rather, this was an advantage.
‘Maybe it’ll help if I didn’t sharpen the low-grade cards I drew this time.’
[I guess so. If you get two C grades, you get one B grade.]
By combining it like that, you can draw an S-rank card with two A-ranks.
It was a skill that allowed you to get an S rank with less money than buying a card.
“Now what about you? I’m going to go to Yeonjuam as originally planned.”
Lee Hui looked at the closed gate for a long time before speaking.
I closed all the windows I was looking at and looked at him.
“I have to take care of things and go to the Hunter Bureau to apply for a guild as planned.”
“Then, call me as soon as you are ready.”
Then, Lee Hui held out a business card.
The plain-looking business card had only a QR code printed in the center.
“If you scan that QR code, a number will appear that connects you directly to me. I am not giving it to just anyone.”
After that, Lee Hui smiled and added an afterword.
“I will go and receive the promised reward at that time. I don’t have a magic bag like that.”
When we came down the mountain after parting ways with Lee Hui, the setting sun was dyeing the entire city golden.
“Minyoung-ah, Soo-yeon. you go home first I’ll take care of this and go.”
“Aren’t you overdoing it?”
“are you okay. Because of the training I’ve been through, I’m fine now.”
I hardly felt any stiffness.
Now it seemed that the muscles had adapted to the skill.
Maybe I’m just feeling a bit tired?
[That much is natural. No matter how much one transcends humans with the power of awakening, everyone has a set physical limit.]
‘Am I already a monster at this level?’
[It’s not like a monster. If it were others, my body wouldn’t have been able to hold on. Maybe, that’s your real talent.]
‘Like what?’
[Effort and potential. No matter how much potential a person has, if they don’t try, their talent will rather deteriorate. You have both.]
‘Is it a compliment that suddenly doesn’t suit you?’
[Kuhm! Give me the promised jewel or something.]
turning the horse.
After sending Soo-yeon and Min-young home, I headed to the black market with Gillian.
I contacted them in advance, and L guided them directly from the cafe.
“long time no see.”
“Iknow, right.”
In the meantime, I used the qualifications of a family member to call in business trip employees to handle small things.
The reason why I came today was because the reward this time was so great.
charrr
As I requested, in front of L who brought a large sack, I poured out the jewels from the magic bag.
L’s eyes widened as he watched the jewels pouring out until the sack was full.
“No, where did you get all these jewels?”
“My question is, ‘Can I cash these out?’”
“Hmm, I could, but would you mind? The value of a jewel changes according to its quantity.”
“So, I came here. It is time to show the power of the black market.”
At my words, L thought while putting his head down, as if he was slightly troubled.
“We shouldn’t ask our customers anything. I was so surprised that I made a mistake, so I hope you don’t mind. We will process the jewelry soon and contact you.”
To L who bowed deeply and apologized, I took out another bag from my magic bag.
Seeing L, who is usually expressionless, bewildered, somehow made me want to play a joke.
You’d be more surprised to see this sack.
“Do you still have more to sell?”
“!!!”
Looking into the sack, L’s eyes widened even more than before.
“Please take care of these Awakening Stones as you always do. Instead, the skill cards must have been released, so I’ll buy some.”
“I will prepare it so that you can see it right away.”
After leaving the family room in the basement, L brought three more staff with the items I asked for and a cart.

The Hunter Bureau in Yeouido was busy today as well.
This was because the Hunter Bureau was in charge of all administrative duties and complaints related to Hunter.
“no! well. Why am I not qualified!”
“I told you. You don’t fit the conditions for the Awoken support business.”
“I! Wake up! I even registered as a hunter! Why not!”
“Look here. here! ‘The minimum income must be less than 40% of the standard.’ Hunter says the minimum income is 60% of the standard! Do you understand?”
Even in the middle of such a busy time, the male hunter and the female administrative staff’s argument was enough to draw everyone’s attention.
In such a situation, the only person who was calm was Hwang Yi-chan, who was sitting on a chair in the hall.
Hwang Yi-chan, who underwent jawbone surgery and had a facial assistive device, sat with a slightly puzzled expression on his face.
People passing by recognized him and whispered something, but Hwang Yi-chan focused his gaze on one spot.
“madam! It’s a surprise. what is that guy? What are you staring at like that?”
“Hey. don’t touch It’s Hwang Yi-chan, Hwang Yi-chan!”
“Hwang Yi-chan?”
“Ah, why did Seo-Jun Yoo get his corn on his knee the other day? That would make me feel better now.”
“ah! Eight. Are you sitting like that in a bad mood?”
The two men who entered the door of the Hunter Bureau, where Hwang I-chan was glaring at, were surprised and then saw Hwang I-chan, who did not budge even in their conversation, and secretly noticed and took out a number ticket.
Hwang Yi-chan, who was looking toward the door, regardless of the surrounding gaze and turmoil, suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth.
‘It’s finally here.’
Those who watched Hwang Yi-chan felt more frightened by the change in his expression and tried to distance themselves.
‘Finally crazy.’
It was the common thought of the people gathered in the Hunter Country.
