[Episode 03] Sheep Hunt (3)
enemy
Under the bright bright moon, the red eyes glow fiercely in the thick shadows created by the apartment.
Knock!
northern byway.
The owner of the place was a humanoid monster.
It was a monster with black hair like jet-black growing wildly all over its body.
Enemy!
He was intent on breaking the goblin’s neck bone.
‘kill.’
Dozens of goblin corpses strewn around him gave off a rotting smell.
hard-
It was difficult to see it as simply hunting to solve hunger.
Dozens of corpses lying around him were full of malice.
Even now, the way he focused on destroying the goblin’s body was closer to venting his anger than hunting.
‘kill.’
Not a single goblin corpse was intact.
All were badly damaged and scattered to pieces.
“Kreureung.”
What was a little surprising was that there were no human corpses around.
The only thing piled up around him was the corpses of goblins.
‘more.’
Having just finished dismantling the goblin in his mouth, he scattered his red eyes and searched for his next prey.
‘I need more.’
The screams of the hateful goblins came through his ears.
“Keeek-! Kieh-! Kiek-!”
Hearing the cries of the goblins going mad with excitement, the beast’s instincts were pushed to the limit.
‘underground parking lot.’
There was no hesitation in his steps despite receiving numerous wounds from entering their lair once before.
It’s been a long time since all those wounds have been completely healed.
‘kill.’
It’s hunting time.
***
Shushuk-
Hyungjun Choi appeared with a sound that seemed to distort space.
‘after. It almost got into trouble.’
While the operation was in progress, Choi Hyung-joon was constantly watching through the eyes of the absolute.
It was to use the vassal summoning skill immediately if something happened.
I didn’t want that to happen, but in the end an accident almost happened, and I immediately used the vassal summoning skill.
‘But I thought it would take 3 seconds to cast the skill.’
It actually took a little longer than that because I had to turn off the eyes of the absolute to cast the skill.
“Huh! Ugh!”
Choi Hyung-joon, who appeared with a rough breath, checked me and opened his mouth with a teary face.
“Hey Jaehyun! Keugh!”
“Do you have any injuries?” “Huh. I am okay.”
“That’s fortunate. yes?”
Contrary to what he said, he could see blood oozing from Hyungjun Choi’s calves.
Hyeongjun Choi, who followed my gaze and checked his calf, scratched his head and said,
“When is this… Fine. Wounds like this heal quickly.”
The wound did not appear to be very deep, as the amount of blood oozing out was insignificant.
It looked like it was scratched by the goblin’s fingernails, but the goblin’s fingernails must have been very dirty.
In order to prevent secondary infection, it had to be treated quickly.
‘I have to register the medicine too.’
There were not one or two items that had to be registered.
“no. Please wait here.”
“Yes···.”
Entering the house, I opened the drawer where the medicines were kept.
‘There may be more things to write than I thought.’
You will have to continue fighting the monsters in the future.
Then, minor wounds were the norm, and medicines were needed to treat him safely.
Red pills, Fucidin, Dale Band, cold medicine, digestive medicine, Tylenol, etc.
Maybe it was because I was often sick since I was young, so I tried to have everything I could.
‘There was also antibiotics.’
Before the world came to this point, there was a time when I suffered from boils on my body.
I had to go to the hospital for a while, but like most people, I didn’t have it after I got better.
I forgot to take the medicine prescribed by the hospital, but it remained the same.
‘penicillin.’
Penicillin was so effective that it was considered one of the greatest drugs invented by mankind.
Human medical history is said to be divided into before and after penicillin.
It was the most necessary medicine at a time when monsters would appear and it would be accompanied by minor wounds.
‘There are too many things to register.’
There were only a few slots left in the shop.
With only 40 slots, it was too much to fill with daily necessities.
It was right to save the remaining slots as much as possible, unless you know when you will be able to receive skill points.
You never know when you’ll get what you need.
‘Maybe?’
There was a trick to saving shop slots.
It was because he discovered that the toolbox that Hyungjun Choi had been carrying was registered at once.
Even though there were various items including hammers and screwdrivers in the tool box, they were classified as one product.
‘It’s probably because it was sold as a set from the beginning.’
But with pharmaceuticals, the situation is a little different. They were all purchased separately and collected, so I wasn’t sure if they would be recognized as a set.
‘Let’s try it.’
After packing as much medicine as possible into the first-aid kit in the drawer, I tried registering at the store.
Crude used medicine first aid kit (77,330 won) Recovery
‘···do.’
It was unnecessarily expensive, and the price of restoration was ridiculously expensive, but I was able to confirm that it was possible to register a set of items made temporarily.
‘I’ll have to do the restoration later. I don’t need it right now.’
It was good except that it was unnecessarily expensive.
Another advantage was that it was possible to take out only the medicine and register it in a separate store if needed later.
When I went outside with a poorly made first aid kit and a bottle of water, I saw Choi Hyung-joon waiting for me with a calm attitude.
“Show me your wounds.”
“I’m really fine…”
When I pulled up my pants, it was clearly a laceration from a goblin’s claws.
The wound wasn’t big, but it didn’t look that good because the area around the wound was already red and swollen.
“I will sterilize it.”
“Ah yes.”
Wipe off the blood with an alcohol swab and apply disinfectant. Choi Hyung-joon’s expression slightly distorted from the sting, but as soon as he applied the ointment, his expression became more comfortable.
[Citizen Hyungjun Choi’s credibility increases.]
[Citizen Hyungjun Choi’s loyalty increases.]
“···thank you.”
“Eat this too. It’s an antibiotic. Water here.”
“Yes, yes.”
When the situation was over, the bottom of the emergency stairs started to make a fuss just in time.
‘You’re here.’
Behind the urgent footsteps of Ha Dong-gun and his party, dozens or hundreds of goblins continued to pursue them.
“Come here! Run a little more!”
This is a fact that I learned after accepting more than 90 people as citizens, but the average level of an adult male is around 7-8.
However, Ha Dong-gun’s party had a double-digit level, even the women Ga-young Kim and Hye-rin Yoo.
Perhaps because he was from an athletic club, he has much better physical strength than the average person.
“Huh! Ugh!”
They were having a hard time.
As I watched the situation, I fully understood.
It was hard enough to go up the 30th floor at full speed, but there were goblins full of murderous intent behind them.
Moreover, the speed of the goblin, which ran using all four paws like a puppy, was unusual.
It was thanks to the brilliant teamwork of the Ha Dong-gun party that they were able to escape safely this far.
“Huh-yup!”
Kwajik!
Moon Byeong-ho, who was at the rear, swung his bat, and two goblins rolled down the stairs and attacked the goblins behind them.
The damage seemed to spread like a domino, but the goblins quickly regained their formation and pursued them.
“Byeongho! run!”
While Byeong-ho Moon was running, Ga-young Kim and Dong-gun Ha, who came up first, opened covering fire.
They deliberately targeted the goblin’s stomach or shoulders.
hooked!
“Quite a bit!”
The injured goblins acted as obstacles, slowing the advance of the other goblins.
Truly fantastic teamwork.
In the end, everyone was able to reach the 30th floor safely.
Doo doo doo!
Six people poured through the emergency exit.
It reminded me of the scene of passing the finish line of a sprint.
Immediately after that, the goblins that followed also tried to pass through the emergency exit without stopping their speed.
but.
Koo Goo Goo!
“It’s quite a lot of love!”
“Keeek?!”
“Kikiiik!”
Blocked by the transparent wall, the goblins began to struggle, not knowing why.
“Heh! Whoops!”
At that time when everyone was struggling to catch their breath, only one person was fine.
Rather, he was swinging his bat hard at the goblins as if he had some strength left.
He was Moon Byeong-ho, who showed his performance right before.
Kwajik!
[You have hunted Goblins (Lv. 6).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[10,085 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
As Byeong-ho Moon detonated the head of one of the goblins, a cheerful alarm rang.
‘Efficiency is good.’
As a vassal, he was paid close to 10,000 won each time he caught a goblin.
This was because the 90% additional effect obtained when the number of citizens exceeded 90 and the vassal’s double benefit resulted in a total payout of 380%.
It was also 380% buffed with experience.
“Huh! no, it’s sick Aren’t you out of breath? Hoo-wook.”
Kang Duk-soo was treating Moon Byeong-ho as if he were a monster.
Moon Byung-ho continued to swing his bat and answered.
“I don’t even know— yo!”
Fuck!
[You have hunted Goblins (Lv. 7).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[12,711 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
Every time Moon Byeong-ho swung the bat, the goblin’s head was smashed.
Seeing this, Kim Gun muttered blankly.
“···crazy.”
“What would have happened if I hadn’t been there.”
“By the way, did Byeong-ho always have such good stamina?”
Ha Dong-gun, everyone in the party was shocked to see Moon Byeong-ho.
‘It’s no wonder.’
The reason why only Moon Byeong-ho looked fine was because I registered him as a vassal.
And.
『Name: Moon Byeong-ho (Lv. 30) [+]
Title: [Second Servant]
Reliability: 55 Loyalty: 88
Awakening Ability: Teleport
★Quest given 』
I don’t know why, but the fact that the level of Mun Byeong-ho, who was registered as a vassal, soared to 30 must have been effective.
Thanks to this, his stamina and strength have become incomparably stronger than others.
The highlight was the awakening ability.
Teleport (Rank A)
It consumes mental power to move through space. It can only be done in a place where the line of sight is secured, and the consumption of mental power increases in proportion to the number of companions and the distance.
‘It’s good that you registered as a vassal.’
To be honest, I felt like I had hit the lottery.
Although there was a limit to where the field of view was secured, it was clear that this ability would be a key ability to save the parents.
Maybe that’s why just looking at Moon Byeong-ho made me smile.
Kwajik!
“It’s quite a lot of love!”
[You have hunted Goblins (Lv. 6).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[9,902 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
It was really commendable to see him steadily eliminating goblins and earning experience and settlement money.
Of course, there were so many goblins that it would take all day to deal with them consistently.
Luckily I had a way.
It was now time to move on to step three of the sheep hunt.
“Everyone did a really good job.”
When I opened my mouth, everyone looked at me.
Moon Byeong-ho, who had been beating the goblin hard, also turned around and looked at me.
I said to Moon Byeong-ho.
“It’s dangerous, so please come out to the back.”
Moon Byeong-ho tilted his head as if he didn’t understand the meaning, but soon followed my instructions.
After confirming that everyone was far enough away from the emergency exit, I raised my hand toward it.
‘Open warehouse. It spits out all the water inside.’
Gee-
The water that had been stored up to the limit of the warehouse poured down like a waterfall.
Chaaa!
“Kick?”
“Kiki!”
Before the goblins, startled by the sudden shower, came to their senses.
“Hyungjun Choi. It is now.”
“yep!”
Hyungjun Choi turned on the power of the multi-tap connected to my house.
dismissal-
At the bottom of the emergency stairs, the bare wires that Hyeongjun Choi had laid out were tangled here and there.
And above that, just as it happened, wet goblins were tangled up.
An intense current was emitted from the wires that had been stripped and torn into several branches, and soon a bloody sound could be heard throughout the emergency stairs.
Pajijijijik-!!

······
······
Dozens of goblins were instantly roasted.
‘done.’
Of course, only a few dozen nearby were killed instantly by the electric attack.
At least hundreds of goblins remained behind them.
But there was no problem.
‘It’s enough to repeat this over and over again.’
A fairly large amount of current was released, quickly draining the money in the wallet, but a new amount of money came in more than that.
[Acquire a large amount of experience.]
[334,464 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
[Skill level has increased.]
[You have learned a new skill.]
The moment when a huge amount of experience was accepted at once.
‘Well?’
The Eye of the Absolute was forcibly activated.
At the same time, the intense pain that overtook him.
‘Keugh!’
It was like then.
The excruciating pain experienced when the territory of the house was expanded.
With the feeling of swelling of the body, it expanded the area as if it exploded.
However, the direction was a little different this time.
The direction in which the senses expanded was the emergency stairs.
The senses that came out through the emergency exit soon continued all the way to the second basement floor.
I could feel every detail of the emergency stairs filled with goblins.
And.
[Entities hostile to the Absolute have been found in every corner.]
[Remove.]
With concise reminders,
Fuck!
The heads of all the goblins filling the emergency stairs exploded like fireworks.
