Chapter 30

– Volume 2 Episode 5
The person Sigun Song referred to as the team leader was the person in charge of the dealer team called Taurus in the Zodiac raid.
Surprisingly, she was a young woman of small and compact stature, and was wearing a really inappropriate greatsword on her back.
The great sword looked so ignorant that I wondered if it would be comparable to cooking on an iron plate on it.
The blade was longer than the woman’s height, so the handle was sticking out over the top of the head.
While I thought it would be difficult to even carry it, the woman opened her mouth.
“Are you going to support this operation?”
When Ki Chul-min answered politely, the woman asked a question.
“Both of you, are you level 7 or higher? The dealer is certain.”
“Here, this person can also be a buffer.”
“Hmm, okay?”
Ki Chul-min added a word about Jeong Dae-sik, but the woman did not pay attention.
Because it was not a big deal, I couldn’t even add the word that it was originally a long-distance dealer.
“As you know, this is a dungeon raid, so you can’t give up halfway. If you decide to go back on the way, we won’t give you any support. You have to agree to the terms of returning all supplies and paying the penalty. However, we will support the treatment of any injuries that occur inside. However, we are not responsible for the aftereffects. All support is limited to the inside of the dungeon.”
Ki Chul-min and Jeong Dae-sik nodded their heads, and she held out the contract.
“The details are here, so please read them carefully. After signing, you can go to our raid legal team over there and submit it. Oh! Before that, you need to measure your status. Our standard, as I just mentioned, is 7th grade. If the number is below, you will not be able to apply. Regardless of the usual number, you must be at level 7 to measure here! Incentives are attached from level 6 or higher. The content is also in the contract, so check it out… Team assignment is This may change later.”
The woman who rushed to and fro and rushed Song Si-gun.
“What are you doing? Come on without taking me.”
Song Si-gun broke through the crowds and took them to the barracks.
Whether it was a place where dealers were recruited, status measuring devices, medical staff for simple medical examinations and vaccinations, and the legal team taking out contracts were busy working.
Song Si-gun took them there and just left.
After a bit of hesitation, Daesik Jeong and Cheolmin Ki lined up to find a line to measure their status.
After a while, it was his turn, and Ki Chul-min started to measure first.
He grabbed the handle of the device with a slightly tense look.
After a short period of time, the results came out quickly.
Seeing the rating displayed on the screen, the person in charge frowned.
“You have reached level 8. You cannot participate. Next person!”
Ki Chul-min said in confusion.
“Wait, are you sure I’m level 7? Isn’t this a weird machine?”
The person in charge was annoyed that there were not one or two people like Ki Chul-min.
“The device is fine. I’m running out of order, so please move out of the way.”
“Let’s add one more time. There’s no way it’s grade 8.”
“No. Get out of the way.”
“Let’s add one more time!”
After arguing with the person in charge, Ki Cheol-min added one more measure of status.
Fortunately, this time the result came out to be 7th grade.
It was at the level of barely doing pull-ups, but I was able to apply anyway.
Ki Chul-min sighed in relief and wiped his chest.
After Ki Cheol-min, Jeong Dae-shik climbed the status device.
It was the first time since the status measurement was taken to obtain a Hunter license the other day.
Indeed, the results came out amid tensions over how many grades would come out.
Ki Chul-min opened his mouth wide.
“Level 6!”
When they saw his status rating, the people who were waiting in the back shed exclamations.
Among the wandering hunters not belonging to the raid, rank 6 was rare.
Unless it’s a singular tendency to stick to solo even at risk, most of them are bound to belong to the raid.
In the midst of the people’s embarrassment, Ki Chul-min muttered in an envious tone.
“You could have given me a 10% fee.”
Jeong Dae-sik didn’t say anything.
It was a bar I was already looking forward to, maybe level 6 or so.
The last time I spent more than 650 million won, I raised my abilities, so it was a natural result to get a grade 6.
The two people who received the status printout received basic medical examinations and received various vaccines.
Then I submitted the signed contract and got a copy.
Finally, he received a mark on his wrist indicating that he belonged to the zodiac.
As a result, he became a temporary member of the Zodiac raid.
They moved on and picked up some supplies.
A backpack containing basic items necessary for survival in the dungeon, such as simple emergency food, a purification stone that purifies contaminated water, a portable oxygen mask and internal communication device, a mark spray, a signal flare, a glow stick, a lighter, a wire, a water bottle, a sleeping bag, etc. Hemostasis, detoxification, antipyretic potions, flame resistance, ice resistance, speed, stealth scroll, hunting knife, pistol, etc. were attached to the chest belt.
Indeed, like a large raid, supplies were plentiful.
Jeong Dae-sik, who was checking them one by one, found a small medicine box on the side of the chest belt.
One was the red pill and the other was the blue pill.
Jeong Dae-sik asked Ki Cheol-min what it was used for.
“What is this?”
Ki Chul-min replied simply.
“Red is for runaway, blue is for suicide.”
In response to Jeong Dae-sik’s counter-question, he added a few words of explanation, seemingly annoyed.
“These two are only used in a real emergency, that is, when there is a life-threatening crisis. If you take the red pill, you become a Berserker and can use abnormal powers. However, the aftereffects are enormous. I use it when the red pill doesn’t work. One bite and it dies instantly. I use it when I’m trapped inside a carnivorous plant or eaten by a monster, or whatever… I’d rather die.”
After listening to Ki Chul-min, I realized just how dangerous this incident was.
Since Jeong Dae-sik’s goal was to become rich by living forever, I thought that I should inherit the contract even now.
But Ki Cheol-min, who is weaker than me, and other 7th-grade hunters are also challenged.
It was an opportunity that could be a jackpot if done well, so I couldn’t get out of here.
‘Yes, do you need to be scared before even starting?’
Jeong Dae-sik made up his mind and took the equipment.
A lunch box was provided to the hunters who finished their preparations.
After I forgot to eat a luxurious lunch box containing beef bulgogi, and ate a piece of yogurt and chocolate pie, the temporary crew registration was completed.
Soon, the briefing began.
In front of the signboard installed on the truck for the event, a woman named Bull Sojwa, whom Jeong Dae-sik and Ki Cheol-min met earlier, briefly introduced herself.
“Hello? I’m Mi-Gun Hwang, who is in charge of the bull seat, one of the dealer teams that will lead the temporary crews recruited here.”
Having finished her self-introduction by bluntly revealing her name, she immediately started the main topic.
“The place we need to enter today is a newly created dungeon in Ilsan Lake, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. The official name of this dungeon is GO8D, and according to preliminary research, insect-type monsters appear.”
Soon, the screen of the electronic display changed and the image of the monster that had been filmed came to mind.
It was a spider-type monster the size of a large dog with thick black hair.
“There are so many different types that they not only detain their prey with webs, but they also shoot with stingers, attack with their eight sharp-pointed legs like hooks, and, as you can see, bite them to death with their terrifying jaws. You have to be extremely careful.”
The screen flipped again.
This time, it was a monster similar to an ant, although it was small in size, but there were a lot of them.
“This is also a monster that inhabits the GO8 dungeon. It moves in groups like ants. Once surrounded by these guys, it looks like they can’t even pick out bones. It’s diverse.”
Soon the screen turned off, and Hwang Mi-gun said with strength.
“Of course, this data was revealed through preliminary research, and this is only a small part of the GO8 dungeon. The depths of the dungeon will be infested with more heinous monsters. Please go into the operation. Everything will be assigned by the team leader of each team to which they belong. If you follow the orders faithfully, everyone here will be able to survive safely.”
It was an unfounded and vague hope.
It was just an obvious sound, so Jeong Dae-sik listened to Hwang Mi-geon with one ear and spilled it with the other.
Hwang Mi-gun did not say for a long time whether she was aware of that fact.
“Then, after the briefing is over, after confirming each team to be announced, you can get on the bus with the team’s name on it. Finally… I will simply shout the Hunter’s slogan and finish.”
Jeong Dae-sik questioned briefly.
‘A Hunter’s slogan?’
At that moment, a cry that Jeong Dae-sik was familiar with rang out.
“Those who have been chosen by God! Exterminate the beings of another world!”
The hunters who gathered the words shouted by Hwang Mi-gun shouted all at once.
“Then you will gain strength!”
“We are Hunters!”
that’s it again
A strange heat engulfs the Hunters.
Everyone was screaming whale whales as if they had been to some idol concert.
Hwang Mi-gun also raised his voice as if he was running an election campaign.
Even Ki Cheol-min rolled his feet with a sling around his neck.
Only Jeong Dae-sik was bewildered and kept his mouth shut.
He could not comprehend the heated atmosphere of the left.
It was just that my heart was pounding with the feeling of not knowing what I felt when the hunters shouted the same thing in the past.
Hwang Mi-geon, who finished the slogan of polite hunters, bowed her head.
