When Jae-jin Lee woke up, I immediately hired a rehabilitation therapist to help Jae-jin Lee recover, while hiring a former special forces instructor to teach Jae-jin Lee in earnest.
taken from noblemt l
Most people who were ordinary people who became hunters after awakening believed only in their physical abilities and neglected their training.
However, martial arts were created to help people handle the body more efficiently.
Even if not, if you add martial arts to a body that transcends humans, the effect is doubled.
“How is it?”
“The acquisition rate is very fast.”
The instructor said with his eyes shining.
“I’ve taught a lot of Awoken, and I’m very particular about them. Even when the legs are not intact, that’s the level, but once the rehabilitation training is over… it’ll be great.”
okay.
That should be enough for Jaejin Lee.
Then Jaejin Lee walked up to me and said,
“Are you done training?”
At first, my legs were shaking and shaking, but now my legs are strong and my steps are stable.
“Yes.”
The instructor licked his lips and said.
“I want to teach you while fighting together, but my body can’t stand it… haha.”
I said with a smile.
“thank you for your effort.”
“Yes. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
As the instructor left the room, Jaejin Lee said.
“It’s pretty decent. and···”
Jaejin Lee said with a smile.
“Just being able to move my body makes me excited and doesn’t stop.”
“It’s good.”
Jaejin Lee is a valuable talent who will be the core of my armed forces.
From the bottom up, it’s perfected step by step and turned into a complete hunter.
“After all training is over, go to the gate and start hunting.”
Jaejin Lee said after being silent for a while.
“…there are you going to completely quit your job as a secretary now?”
“Absolutely.”
Jaejin Lee said with a slightly strange expression.
“Something is sad.”
I said with a smile.
“I have no regrets. Jaejin will be doing more important work.”
After completing the rehabilitation training, he prepared to attack the dungeon in earnest.
“This is a special weapon with an electric shock effect. This is a chest armor that temporarily creates a shield and…”
Jae-Jin Lee with his body covered with special equipment.
Jaejin Lee said with a tired expression.
“Hey, I don’t think you can do this.”
Although the price of special weapons fell a lot, it was still being traded for tens of millions of won.
In other words, Jae-Jin Lee now wears billions of luxury equipment around his body.
“Uh-huh. Jaejin is one of my most important talents, so it wouldn’t be a big deal if he got hurt.”
“···ha. All right.”
“Remember. The more the Awakener catches the monster, the stronger it gets.”
Hunters’ growth mechanism was simple.
The more monsters you catch, the more your abilities increase.
However, there were individual differences in growth.
There are hunters whose skill rises steadily even if they catch the same monster, while others stay at F-class for the rest of their lives even if they catch hundreds of thousands of them.
And Lee Jae-jin is a hunter who boasted an amazing growth rate that was called a super rookie.
“If you don’t catch the monster, the growth of the awakened will stagnate. You can tell just by looking at our drivers.”
Drivers who refused to hunt for various reasons did not go beyond that level when they first awakened.
“Jaejin said he would follow my instructions.”
“Yes.”
“Then be strong. More than anyone else.”
I said with a smile.
“That’s the way for me and for Jaejin.”
Jaejin Lee nodded and said.
“All right.”
Then someone knocked on the office door and said,
“president! We are here!”
“You have come.”
It was the hunter team recruited for Jaejin Lee’s first hunt.
Jaejin Lee needed someone to share his know-how with as he had never killed a single monster.
I patted Jaejin Lee on the shoulder and said.
“Come on, Jaejin. Go and show me.”
“········”
“It’s no longer Lee Jae-jin who was in a wheelchair. Prove that you are stronger than anyone else. Jaejin can do it.”
“This is… in the gate.”
Jae-Jin Lee, the first to step into the Dangjin Gate made of dense forest.
“how about it.”
said the Awoken who accompanied him.
“Is there something mysterious?”
Trees that cannot be seen on Earth were combined to create a mysterious sight.
“…is this really a closed space?”
“Yes. If you keep going all the way, you are blocked by an opaque wall.”
said the Awoken, pointing to the truck.
“Let’s ride.”
It was a truck that Jeong In-soo had dispatched for Lee Jae-jin in advance.
When Lee Jae-jin got on the truck, the driver said with a happy expression.
“It’s a different feeling to see Jaejin here. haha.”
Jaejin Lee nodded his head at the driver’s greeting, which he had only seen from outside.
“Yes. So am I.”
“Anyway, let’s say goodbye and leave!”
A truck moving forward along a small road in the forest.
“Oh yeah. President Jung is also great. To make a way through the forest.”
The driver grunted at the Awoken’s words.
“Do you know how much pain you suffered for this? Cutting down trees and paving roads. After I got a job in Dangjin, I was completely exhausted.”
As we talked, the truck moving forward suddenly stopped.
“A horde of goblins ahead!”
At the driver’s words, the Awakened said with a raised eyebrow.
“Goblin? a. Not even that money.”
The Awakened looked at Jaejin Lee and said.
“Would you like to join us?”
Jaejin Lee nodded and said.
“Yes.”
This is the first goblin that Jaejin Lee met.
‘disgusting.’
A humanoid monster with green skin and half the height of a human.
The story was familiar.
But it’s the first time I’ve seen it live.
‘Can I do it?’
The instructor praised him for the speed of learning, but in practice, actually saving a life is another thing.
‘no. you can do it.’
Jeong In-soo said.
Jaejin Lee can do it.
Then you can do it.
Jaejin Lee grabbed his sword and ran towards the goblin.
“Keek!!”
A goblin wielding a rusty sword with a strange sound.
‘slow.’
Is it because of the instructor’s training?
Even though it was his first battle, Jaejin Lee was not afraid of goblin attacks.
Lee Jae-jin lightly strikes the goblin’s sword and inserts the sword into the goblin’s abdomen.
“Kee!!”
Whether it was a function of a special weapon or a scream caused by pain, the goblin staggered backwards.
“···ah.”
The feeling of digging into the flesh.
and spurting blood.
Jaejin Lee’s lips twitched.
“This···”
Violence is the primal instinct that stimulates Jae-Jin Lee.
A feeling of euphoria that he had never experienced before penetrated Jaejin Lee’s body.
It is similar to the feeling of superiority I felt when I crushed Jae-Woon Lee.
Jaejin Lee turned and looked at the goblin writhing in pain.
And he raised his sword high.
“…is that the first time?”
“It must be true because President Jung said so.”
Jaejin Lee, who seemed hesitant about something, started swinging his sword once and started slaughtering goblins like crazy.
Until recently, I wondered if it was the person who was in a wheelchair.
There was no hesitation in Lee Jae-jin’s sword, and so the goblins fell one by one by Lee Jae-jin’s sword.
“When I first caught a goblin, my whole body was really trembling, but come on.”
And there was a small smile on Jaejin Lee’s lips.
“Something is a little creepy.”
Jaejin Lee turned around and cut off the goblin’s head with a single knife.
Jaejin Lee, who dealt with the last goblin like that.
Jaejin Lee gasped and said.
“Heh heh. okay. you can do it. I can . . .”
Seeing Jaejin Lee like that, the awakened said with a trembling expression.
“Mr. Jaejin. it’s okay?”
“Yes. Whoops. it’s okay. More than that.”
Jaejin Lee said with his eyes shining.
“I want to fight other monsters as well.”
“that. okay?”
“Yes. I···”
Jaejin Lee said with a smile.
“You have to be stronger. Much more than now.”
Jaejin Lee’s dungeon debut was a success.
Lee Jae-jin, who said that the tree that has grown up is different from the cotyledon, and the hunters showed off their amazing skills with just a little more training.
Of course, the Awakeneds who were with me said that it was like they became a different person when fighting monsters, but I was rather satisfied.
It means that Jae-jin Lee, who used to act only with instinct in his previous life when fighting or usually, now has the ability to control it.
Now Jae-Jin Lee will grow smoothly and create a new guild around Jae-Jin Lee.
And through that guild, I want to expand my influence into the dungeon.
Of course, this is the story after Jae-Jin Lee has built up his skills enough to attract hunters.
I said, gazing again.
“The D-class dungeon should come out soon.”
The D-class dungeon was the first wall the hunters faced.
taken from noblemt l
Monsters with different strength from the previous dungeon.
And starting from this D-class dungeon, the skills of the hunters start to differ significantly.
“From the D-class, you have to attack each monster properly.”
It is different from the F-Class and E-Class, where just pushing with physical ability was enough.
And I.
“I know how to attack D-class dungeon monsters.”
After working near the dungeon for nearly 30 years, the sagas of the hunters were boring.
If not all of them, they accurately remembered the weaknesses of the key monsters.
And this information will create great synergy with Jae-Jin Lee and the guild that will be created in the future.
I said with a smile.
“There is still time for D-class dungeons to come out. Let’s prepare slowly. slowly.”
Business went smoothly.
“The Gyeonggi-do plant is almost complete…”
The slime slime factory, which was carried out with a loan arranged by Gyeonggi Province, was almost on the verge of completion.
Truly a lightning bolt.
This was possible because it contained the will of the ruling party to use it in the general election.
I said with a smile.
“By the way, the site here is really great.”
Dangjin has a very small population, and I was able to easily allocate the slime and handle it quickly, so I even promoted a field trip, but it was not Gyeonggi-do.
Because the amount of slime slime was insufficient, the contract was signed only enough to meet the target by rolling for 24 hours, so it was clear that garbage would pile up like a mountain in the yard.
So, I searched for a site with as few people as possible, and Gyeonggi-do, which decided on a candidate, gave me a choice, and one of the sites was a real hit.
It was right next to the C-class dungeon that will appear later.
“ah. It would be great if I just bought it.”
The problem is that the site was not purchased, but leased.
At first, they tried to purchase the land, even if it was too much, but Gyeonggi-do, which arranged the loan, expressed disappointment, saying that doing so would cost too much.
“Still, because I put the saliva on first.”
There’s still a long way to go before the C-class dungeon comes out, so I’ll have to collect money to buy the land before that.
The cause is also perfect.
Purchases for stable plant operation.
How good.
So while I was reviewing documents related to slime slime, someone knocked on the office door.
smart.
“Come on in.”
The person who opened the door was none other than the boss of the Cheolho group, Jang Cheol-ho.
“Chief Jung. Do you have time?”
“Uh… is it important?”
“Yes. It is very important.”
Is it important?
“What? That important thing.”
Jang Cheol-ho said quietly with a firm expression.
“It seems that drugs are running around the city.”
