Chapter 4

-1 Volume 4
Currently, there are a total of four skills that can be purchased by Jeong Dae-sik.
It was powerful power, speed, a steel body, and strengthening of the five senses.
The ‘strong fist’ was a punch that temporarily increased strength.
The muscle strength is temporarily increased by three times, and there is a 30% chance of a critical burst, emitting ten times the attack power.
It seemed ignorant because it only strengthened the power, but it seemed the most useful in the battle situation with monsters.
Daum’s ‘speed’ was literally a technique that made the body move faster.
Momentary movements such as striking forward or falling backward were possible.
When the skill is activated, the agility is tripled for 3 seconds.
This also seemed useful because it would prevent injuries or fatal injuries in a crisis situation even if there is nothing wrong with it.
‘Steel body’ was a skill that increased the durability of the body.
If strong power or haste is an active skill that requires shouting a starting word, the steel body has the effect of reducing the enemy’s attack power by 10% as a passive skill.
Should I say that it increases the defense?
‘Enhance the five senses’ was the ability to strengthen the senses of touch, sight, hearing, taste, and smell for one minute.
This seemed to be helpful in detecting dangerous situations in advance or guessing the enemy’s movements when searching.
“Entropy, what is the difference between the strengthening skills I have and these skills?”
Entropy gave a simple and clear answer to Jeong Dae-sik’s question while he was looking at the list of technologies.
“Okay. So, you’re saying that I can use these skills and my enhancement skills by overlapping?”
“If you upgrade the shop, better skills will come out?”
Jeong Dae-sik nodded, saying he seemed to know how the story was going.
However, the most important thing was the price.
No matter how good the technology was, it was of no use if it was impossible to purchase and use.
In order to even see the good technology, I had to pay an additional amount to upgrade the shop.
So this was money, that was money, and it was all money.
‘It starts with money and ends with money.’
Jeong Dae-sik clicked on his tongue as he recalled the voice he heard in God’s space.
‘Who is not the god of greed?’
The price of technology that Jeong Dae-sik can buy is 20 million won each.
Even if it was cheaper than the ability, it was also expensive.
‘When it comes to technology, it’s not something I see with my eyes and it’s not something that stays in my hands, right? It’s just that the list increases by one in the skill window I have, but I have to spend tens of thousands of won each.’
To be honest, I was nervous and couldn’t pay for it.
‘Oh, no. Just because there is something you can buy doesn’t mean you have to buy it all. Be careful.’
He had very little money, so he couldn’t afford to spend wisely.
I had to spend the money according to the direction I wanted to go forward and the purpose of the work I had to do.
Jeong Dae-sik was in trouble as his beard started to grow and he touched his ragged chin.
‘Once I became an Awakened and gained superpowers, I have to work as a Hunter. Even though it’s absurd to say that his ability is sage, becoming a hunter is something he didn’t want to do.’
There was only one reason why Jeong Dae-sik was envious of Hunter and wanted to become an awakener.
right money!
it’s only money
‘If you become a hunter and hunt in a dungeon, you can touch an incomparable amount of money with a porter. You can just beat a slime for a few million won. This is it! But if you go into the dungeon without thinking, it’s perfect for a screaming death. Basically, I need to have a weapon to protect me. Even if he says he’s cheap.’
Jeong Dae-sik mobilized all the knowledge he had picked up while following the hunters as a porter.
‘That means you have to buy a weapon. I can’t buy anything either. Even if cancer is cheap, the weapons used by the Awakened are many and expensive.’
A reference point was needed to make the most optimal choice.
Jeong Dae-sik judged that the criterion was the position.
‘It’s impossible for a beginner like me to enter the dungeon alone. You have to team up with anyone. To do that, I need to decide on a position that is right for me. So you have to buy a weapon suitable for it.’
Jeong Dae-sik reminded himself that his class was Ganghwa.
‘What is the right position for the Ganghwa field?’
Jeong Dae-sik thought of the hunters he had been following all along.
The team that hunters form to hunt monsters is often called a raid.
Within the raid, each role is divided, and that is the position.
‘Ganghwa system, Ganghwa plane tanker is the first thing that comes to mind.’
The tank serves as a substitute for the raid members, also called team members or party members, to deal with monster attacks.
Therefore, defense and stamina were important, so the reinforcement system was considered appropriate.
However, Jeong Dae-sik, who was deeply immersed in thought, immediately shook his head inwardly.
‘No, tanks are unreasonable. Tanks need psychic abilities as well. You have to fix the monster to yourself to buy time for the dealer.’
The ability to attract the attention of monsters is one of the most important abilities for a tank.
That’s called ‘turn off aggro’ in slang.
Although there are differences depending on the type of monster, they are clearly intelligent creatures.
That is to say, I am not stupid.
Therefore, there is no way to focus on tanks that do not have good attack power, leaving other enemies to attack them.
So the tank had to have the talent to get the monster’s attention in some way.
So, it was unreasonable to play the role of a tank with just one reinforcement-type ability.
‘A secondary position that requires healing ability or buffer ability is of course unreasonable.’
Auxiliary positions, which are classified as healers and buffers, literally help others, so they do not fight directly in the front.
Thanks to this, it can be said that it is relatively safe compared to other positions.
But in a way, it was also the most vulnerable position.
He lacked fighting skills, making it difficult to sustain life when the situation worsened.
It was very scary because I had to entrust my life to other people.
Of course, it was also a position that had nothing to do with Jeong Dae-sik, who was a strongman.
‘Well, that’s the dealer.’
The so-called striker, the dealer, is divided into a short-distance striker ‘close deal’ and a long-distance striker ‘one deal’.
‘Of course, it’s unreasonable to have to fight directly against a monster with just one enhancement ability. If so, the only remaining option is one-way. It’s a long-distance dealer…….’
Jeong Dae-sik was engulfed in worry.
In the meantime, I have been walking around the dungeon and observing.
Dealers were quite common compared to tanks, healers, and buffers.
It’s probably because he’s in a position where he fights monsters, so he doesn’t need any special abilities.
So, in the dungeon, he was treated as the second lowest after the porter.
If the porter is a commoner, then the dealer is a commoner?
Even at such a dealer, the grades are divided, but the situation of the local dealer was slightly better.
Geun-Dil is recognized for his bravery in going forward and directly dealing with monsters.
On the other hand, I had a strong impression that the one-deal was a role that helped me with a close-up from a distance.
He often gets glared at the dealer for taking care of himself in a safe place.
Because of that wind, it was not easy to find an engineering college for Wondil.
There was no easy way to win a fight in a difficult situation.
‘In the end, the answer is suljapat.’
Suljapat is a slang term for a group of dealers gathered together.
It refers to a party in which such dealers go to slaughter lower-level monsters in order to gain experience, to earn money, or to think that it is better than playing.
Since there are only dealers, there is no aggro management at all, and there is no backup.
But, of course, there was little money.
‘It’s still better than a porter.’
No matter how much you say the sledgehammer doesn’t do much, it’s probably better than the porter’s pay.
Judging from the suffering, the sledgehammer is much better than the porter.
‘Yeah, I’d rather earn more than a porter, huh. Let’s think realistically, realistically.’
You don’t have to fight monsters to die as a hunter.
After all, if the goal is money, you have to hunt while saving yourself in moderation.
Thinking about it, Wondil and Suljapot didn’t look bad either.
No, it was perfect for someone who doesn’t have big ambitions like Jeong Dae-sik.
‘It will take some time, but if you keep going, you can buy a building. Yep, that’s what we’re aiming for. First of all, I need to purchase a weapon.’
Jeong Dae-sik tried to figure out which one would be better to buy.
In the meantime, entropy was disappearing all of a sudden.
When Jeong Dae-sik’s attention was distracted, the screen naturally turned off, and entropy seemed to return to the standby state.
However, if the magic power was gathered and floated, it could be driven again.
So, first of all, we found out about the purchase of weapons.
Jeong Dae-sik turned backwards, grabbed the slow broken cell phone, looked through the narrow window, and searched for various weapon stores.
‘Now that I know about the market price, I will go to the mall tomorrow and buy a suitable one. Before that, you have to register as a hunter first.’
Usually, the first thing to do after awakening is to register as an awakened person.
I had to do that, but I was given a license to possess a weapon, so I decided to stop by the Awakened Management Office before going to buy a weapon.
So, with the route for the day ahead of tomorrow, Jeong Dae-sik went to bed.
…but somehow I couldn’t sleep.
Is it because there were too many things going on today?
Lying in a dimly lit room, just like yesterday, I still couldn’t feel it.
The fact that he had awakened felt like nothing else.
‘…I’m sure you’ll realize it gradually.’
Jeong Dae-sik forced his eyes closed and tried to sleep.
Chapter 2. First Hunt
“Woah woah ah!”
Jeong Dae-sik screamed and jumped out of bed.
In a cold sweat, he reached out his hand and hurriedly fumbled against the wall.
And I pressed the light switch that reached my hand.
Then the dark room became bright.
Since it’s a jjok room, there are no windows, so you can’t see anything unless you turn on the light.
The environment was unbearable for ordinary people, but it was familiar to Jeong Dae-sik.
But today, because I had a nightmare, I longed for the sunlight.
He hurriedly kicked off the door and left.
I took my slippers and went out to the entrance of an alley where the sun was shining, and I squatted there.
After that, my startled heart subsided and my head started spinning.
‘What the hell did I dream of? It must have been a very unfortunate dream.’
Jeong Dae-shik wiped his forehead and traced his memory.
‘Yeah, it was a weird dream. Such a nonsensical dream in which I am summoned to the divine space and awakened……’
Jeong Dae-sik, who looked back at the last night blankly for a moment, widened his eyes.
‘No, that’s not a dream! It actually happened! Yesterday I was really called to the divine space! And I met the god of wealth, greed, and price!’
Jeong Dae-sik looked back at the fact that he had awakened.
And to check it again, he gathered his magic power and launched it into the air.
Then a cursor appeared in the air without fail, and Jeong Dae-sik said in a whisper.
“Entropy.”
As soon as the horse fell, the speech bubble got bigger and popped out from inside.
“… it’s true.”
“I mean, I’ve become an Awoken.”
As for Entropy, Daesik Jeong’s words were taken for granted, and somehow the response was delayed by one beat.
“Okay, I see. Stop going in.”
Jeong Dae-sik cleared the entropy and stood up.
‘Yes, I’m pretty sure I’ve become an Awoken.’
He quietly returned to his room and prepared to go out.
He shoved his empty wallet into his pocket and went out without locking the door.
Then I got on the subway and headed straight to the Awakened Management Office as planned yesterday.
