Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 14

5. Hunter Registration (2)

Seo Kang-jin is a hunter who is very thorough in self-management.

To be precise, I’d have to say he likes sports, but he does as much as he likes anyway. As a hunter is a body job, body care was essential, so as a result, Seo Kang-jin, a sports maniac, became a good hunter.

“Hook, hook.”

Seo Kang-jin, sweating profusely, lifted and released the heavy weight repeatedly.

Her upper body, without any clothes on, is in her mid-50s, so she’s pretty stout. It was not just the size that was inflated, but it was a muscle that was even strengthened in practice.

As he was training diligently at the private gym at the mansion, he heard a phone ringing in his ear. Wiping his face with a towel, he checked the number and answered the call.

“Are you Young-hoon?”

– Yes, brother.

A deep voice came from over the receiver. It was Lee Young-hoon, a subordinate that Seo Kang-jin trusted the most, whom he had been living with since his youth.

“what’s the matter?”

-This is what my brother asked for yesterday. I searched during the day, and there was only one hunter named Cha Shin Hyeon registered in the hunter database. There doesn’t seem to be any other person with the same name.

“It’s not that there aren’t any, there’s only one, so what’s the problem? It’s not confusing and it’s good.”

-Yes. But looking at the post on the job board, it said that he was at level 7.

“what?”

Seo Kang-jin frowned.

“Level 7?”

-Yes. Surely your brother didn’t say that Cha Shin Hyeon would get a license today, didn’t he?

“Yes it was.”

-So I contacted you to see if I might have heard the subject wrong. It’s rare that you don’t register immediately after reaching level 5, right?

That was correct. It was an exception because the academy gave out a license after graduating, but it was very rare to get a license beyond level 5, whether through the Hunter Training Center or directly renting a dungeon.

The reason was simple.

‘Cause there’s nothing good about getting it late.

If you don’t have a license, you aren’t legally treated as a hunter, but there was no reason to delay it on purpose.

“… … That’s weird. Obviously, I was level 1 not too long ago, and I confirmed that I had borrowed the tutorial dungeon last Saturday.”

If you’ve been to another dungeon before Saturday, you don’t need to rent a tutorial dungeon. It’s only going to get to level 5 anyway. If you’ve been to any dungeon once, level 5 is enough.

However, it was impossible to go to the dungeon on Saturday and then go to the dungeon again the very next day. If it is a place that is much lower than your level, the dungeon is not a comfortable place to go to every day.

No matter how weak the team is, just like a soccer player doesn’t play every day, the hunter had to get enough rest in between.

-So, you’re saying he’s leveled up to level 7 in the tutorial dungeon?

“The only possibility that comes to mind is that… … Is that possible?”

– That’s right.Neither Seo Kang-jin nor Lee Young-hoon could easily give an answer.

From their point of view, the tutorial dungeon was a good, poor dungeon.

Because of that, conversely, I didn’t know that a beginner could level up beyond level 5. I just thought it was a dungeon that only raised up to level 5, and it was actually a place that operated like that.

-If you catch a lot of monsters in the dungeon, it doesn’t seem impossible, but the problem is that it’s not likely to be possible for beginners.

“I think so too. If that was easy, the word bus wouldn’t even exist. Man, where did you come from as a gladiator in the Colosseum while you were missing?”

if not either.

“… … Or, because he was so talented, he became level 7 when other people reached level 5.”

Seo Kang-jin’s eyes narrowed.

– Anyway, that’s a bit… … It costs more experience to go from level 5 to level 6 than the sum of experience points from level 1 to level 5, right? No matter how talented you are, wouldn’t that be too much?

Lee Young-hoon responded with a somewhat bewildered tone.

“But there’s no way you can lie about things that will be discovered right away if you open the status window. Whether he has a great fighting sense or his talent as a hunter is overwhelming, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary guy.”

-Ah, yes, it’s still not a chick. Level 5 or level 7, it’s acorn key recovery. Whatever secret you’re hiding, at least for now.

“It is not. I mean, it’s embarrassing though. I don’t feel good.”

Seo Kang-jin, who was drooling, gave the order.

“Younghoon.”

– Yes, brother.

“Don’t go with a light heart and take all the children properly. you know my personality I don’t want to create useless variables.”

Lee Young-hoon, who was about to refute whether there was even a need, heard what he was saying and asked his mouth.

Lee Young-hoon was well aware of his many years of experience that speaking while talking about his personality like that means just shut up and do what you are told.

Seo Kang-jin concluded with a firm voice.

“Definitely get rid of it. There’s no way Joonghyun can keep him alive.”

* * *

Even though I wondered if there would be any contact already, Cha Shin Hyeon immediately operated the cell phone.

Didn’t the clerk tell you earlier? If you’re unlucky, you’ll have to wait a week, but if you’re lucky, it can come right away within a day of posting.

When I opened the app and logged in, the inbox in the upper right corner flashed.

With secret anticipation, Cha Shin Hyeon opened the note.

[Recommended by the Korea Hunter Association! Joint purchase event!]

“·················ogue.”

I hate to read the title.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyebrows twitched.

Unsurprisingly, it was an event in which the company that manufactures the armor and the Heonhyup formed an alliance and proceeded with a joint purchase.

After reading the sentence “For more information, please visit the link below”, Cha Shin Hyeon nervously pressed the LCD screen. Of course, what you clicked is the close button, not the link.

‘What.’

There is no way that a product to be purchased as a group has miraculous performance, but even if that were the case, I had no intention of investing in armor.

Because I didn’t need it at all.

If he was a monster strong enough to need armor, ordinary hunters would not be able to wear ten layers of armor. It was too full to match the assortment just by wearing it now.

‘To set an alarm for every ad that comes in every now and then!’

Isn’t there a function to block spam messages? No, it was sent from the Korea Hunter Association website, so it is impossible to block it.

It was time for Cha Shin Hyeon to quit the app, lamenting the capitalist behavior of the Constitutional Cooperatives.

‘Well?’

Obviously, the light in the mailbox I just checked was still on.

A little bit annoyed, wondering if there is a bug in this little aspect, Cha Shin Hyeon clicked the inbox again.

But it wasn’t a bug.

Meanwhile, a new note had arrived.

[Hello, Mr. Cha Shin Hyeon?

My name is Jinsang Choi, the guild leader of the ‘Standby Guild’ guild.

I would like to temporarily hire Cha Shin Hyeon for this dungeon raid.

The date is this Thursday, and it’s a risk 2 dungeon. Just like a normal warrior class, you can take charge of the party’s vanguard. If you have any ideas, please contact us at the address below by noon tomorrow.]

I was annoyed with the advertisement a little while ago, but it was because I didn’t know that I would see spam on the National Assembly site, not on email or on cell phones.

It was true that I had some expectations, but I didn’t know that a note about employment would really come.

‘It’s too fast.’

Anyway, I had no intention of kicking out the work that had rolled in first.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had finished figuring out what to say roughly, went into the room. Talking in the living room can interfere with Cha Eun-seol’s studies.

After closing the door, I called the phone number. After a few beeps, a man with a loud voice answered the call.

-Hello.

“Is Jinsang Choi’s number correct?”

– Yes, that’s right.

“ My name is Cha Shin Hyeon. I saw the message and contacted you.”

-Ah! Mr. Cha Shin Hyeon. You contacted me right away. nice to meet you.

After one courtesy greeting, Cha Shin Hyeon immediately asked a question.

“As for the dungeon raid, is the content of the note true?”

– Of course it’s true. I don’t send it as a joke. Why?“Oh, just. It’s too easy for me to ask a question.”

-Yes? Do you have any problem?

“It seems that anyone can do it, but it is because I am puzzled that my turn has already returned to me, who has just posted on the bulletin board.”

Choi Jin-sang asked the question in a slightly bewildered tone as he hadn’t thought that he would be asked such a question.

– No, why does it have to be something else? I was just looking for people who met the criteria, and there were only a few candidates, and Cha Shin Hyeon was one of them.

“I was just curious and asked. Don’t worry.”

I don’t know what and how the candidates were selected, but the circumstances were so, he, who was a stranger, couldn’t argue with him.

Cha Shin Hyeon agreed moderately.

– Then, can I accept that I am willing to sign a contract?

“As long as the conditions are right, you can do it.”

-all right. Then we will tell you about our terms.

After taking a moment to breathe, Jinsang Choi continued.

– Including Cha Shin Hyeon, this dungeon attack party is 6 people. It’s not exactly 1/n, but how about giving out 15% of the monsters you get from the dungeon? However, we have skill stones that fall with a low probability.

“great.”

For a temporary outsider, 15 percent of the revenue wasn’t a bad deal.

A skill stone is an object that rarely falls instead of a monster when a monster is caught. The skill acquired by processing it into cubes is the monster skill.

Anyway, the risk of 2, that is, the probability of falling skill stones in dungeons between level 6 and 10 was the probability of a bean sprouting in a drought, so it was okay to not consider it.

-You will move to the dungeon after joining us. You live in Seoul, right?

“Yes.”

-Then, please prepare all your equipment and come to the waiting room at Yeongdeungpo Station by 9 am on Thursday. I’ll be waiting.

“I will.”

At the same time, the meeting point is Yeongdeungpo. It’s nice to be close to home.

“Is there anything I need to prepare?”

-Because it’s not a dangerous place to the point where you have to prepare ahead of time. I think it would be enough to listen to the information about the dungeon as you go. All you have to do is make your body in its best shape.

“all right. Then I’ll see you on Thursday.”

That ended the call.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who registered Choi Jin-sang’s number in the phone book, laid down on the bed and smiled faintly.

‘It’s a good start, coming in so quickly from the first quest.’

As soon as the restaurant opens, it feels like customers are coming in right away. For some reason, it felt like the job of a hunter in the future would run smoothly.

… … He didn’t know yet that those feelings wouldn’t end with mere feelings.

Although the process was going to be a little different from what I had imagined.
