Hunter of the Perished World

[107] Chips, More Chips (1)

”Monster hunter if you kill a monster, bounty hunter if you kill a person, or private detective if you solve a case?” “

”Yes, there’s only one thing they have in common when asked. “

It was possible in a working metropolitan area. Of course, some hunters aren’t bounty hunters, but they’re close to hitmen. But, of course, it was something that was quite disturbing and excluded in the hunters’ society.

I told you not to hunt unless you were publicly covered in a bounty, and I was determined not to do so in the nest.

”Three types of hunters are different in nature, so people are different. Make sure you know. “

Even if they are tied to the same category, they are completely different. The only difference between a hunter in the wilderness and a hunter in the metropolitan area was that.

”But having a monster hunter means monsters come out here, too? “

Leona asked if she didn’t understand that there are monsters living in this many people.

”Of course. There are still monsters in undiscovered alleys and ruined areas underground. No one’s gonna take care of you. “

Above all, it is impossible to eradicate monsters hidden in places that cannot be found or reached by humans. That’s why monster-hunters are everywhere in this metropolitan area.

Leona was able to make some assumptions about the lives of the hunters as she watched the myriad of clientele waiting for her master. Leona reads the far flyers one by one.

In the case of the bounty hunt, it only had to be briefly written, with the exception that the montage was drawn. The investigative work was not detailed, and it was difficult to easily deduce how to solve the case instead of high payouts.

While everyone was going through the difficult tasks, the hunters were standing around in front of the flyers, asking the bartender about the quest.

The bartender was aware of all the quests and advised on how to proceed.

In fact, he was the manager of the inn while the bartender was the broker and advisor for the quest.

After your meal, the group heads up to your quarters. Tidy rooms were clean and linens were tidy, making sure they were doing their laundry well. Everyone will rest, but Gene had work to do here.

”What are you doing here? “

”Simple.“

Gene was not a big deal in the big city.

”Lots of chips in the big city. “

There are only two major cities that have this many chips.

”We have to fight BH’s most dangerous monsters. To do that, I need to recover to some extent, even if my Darkborn powers are not fully restored. “

I didn’t come here to clean up something great.

”You have to make money. “

Recover at least 5 percent of the Dark Bone’s energy. The reason I came here was not great, but to reserve my strength to prepare for the fight at BH.

The faster you collect the chips, the faster you can leave. Jean didn’t decide to go to BH with such a light heart.

”How much should I collect? “

”A minimum of 200,000. “

”What’s up?“

Leona is frightened as if it’s not possible.

If you collect that much, you can restore Darkbone energy by as much as 5 percent. And I couldn’t face BH’s ruler without being that ready.

”I’ll use this Hwang Yong Nest as my base for a while to solve the quest. “

The city is full of quests and updates every day that cannot be solved by hunters alone. Soon, the clientele overflows.

”I feel physically impossible. “

You must complete 2,000 quests with a 100 Chips reward in order to collect 200,000 Chips. Even if we solve one thing a day, it is two thousand days. Ramfil was appalled at how much time he was going to waste in the big city.

”I have an idea about all that. We won’t be too late. And I’m not the only one. “

”What are you talking about? “

When Leona asked, she looked at Ramfil.

”What are you going to do for fun? You should run, too.“

”…… What? “

It was natural for Ramfil to make a fierce look at the nonsense.

”A hunter doesn’t need a license or anything. “

In fact, a hunter is all anyone can do if they have the ability to complete the quest. Not a professional hunter raised in the Academy, but anyone can actually do a quest, just as anyone can do a quest.

”You’re a hunter from today on. “

Leona is unable to enter the field, but Ramsay is capable of any kind of hunter’s work.

Ramfil could raise money in the name of executive funding, but as Gene said before, entering Fortress is like asking you to arrest me. Therefore, funding should have been a way to complete the referral.

It’s a way to make money in the big city, king, but it was decided what people who ate rice could do.

Merritt points out that monster hunting is low, but can be resolved immediately. As a result, the amount of time spent hunting detectives or bounties was relatively slow.

Leona tried to train with the other hunter aspiring students at the Academy, but she refused.

”Why, there must be a lot you can learn from the teachers here. “

”I think it’s better to watch your practice than listen to your hundred words. “

”Hah… Yeah, well. You’re not wrong. “

Leona knew best what was more helpful for Leona than anyone going to the academy. In the end, she only practiced live-fire at the Academy, and if it wasn’t dangerous, Leona decided to follow Jean.

Ramfil and Jean went on a trip together, so they decided to complete the quest separately. Whoever is in charge of the quest has nothing to do with the Nest.

But the bartender was quite sharp.

”I don’t think he’s a hunter. Well, I’m sure you’ll do well because you said so yourself. “

He concludes that Ramfil may be a weapon handler, but he’s not a hunter. You each take a quest and head to the train station.

Other places don’t even have wheelbarrows that roll properly, including giant fuel-driven mounts.

Leona doesn’t know how many days she’ll be here, but she doesn’t seem to be able to adjust until she leaves.

”Wait.“

Now it has to be torn apart, and Ramfil suddenly raises his camp.

”Why?“

”Well, I’ll tell you what to do. “

Ramfil looked like he was meeting the biggest life-threatening crisis in front of the ticket office.

There are monsters in the big city. Rather, more monsters dig into the darkness of the big city than the fields and wilderness.

Monsters sacrifice just as many poor people to the gangs and murderers every night.

Although there are only a few fields in the field, the city’s visibility is quite limited, and there is a place to hide and escape anytime, anywhere.

Humans can eat many things, even monsters, and monsters can eat humans there, so it was literally a food heaven.

Humans die by humans. But people in big cities still don’t eat people. But the bodies that are not cleaned up are gnawed away by rats, and the maggots boil.

Naturally, there are people who covet the corpse.

From the wreckage eaten by the corpse hunter to the ghost lured by the man-eater and the corpse hunter to eat the corpse killed by the robber. Thanks to the chain reaction of these monsters, the metropolitan area is home to the world’s largest number of humans, while also the world’s largest number of monsters.

Eventually, the monsters gathered were enough to build their own underground ecosystems. If there is an ecosystem of chips by capital on the ground, there is an ecosystem of forces that are dominated only by the logic of force.

”We call it the Hive. “

”Hive?“

”Yeah, well, it’s kind of like a urban legend in the big city. To scare the kids. “

”Scare him? “

”Yes, if you don’t listen, the creature that emerged from the Hive will catch you. Like this.“

Leona looks fierce, not afraid of what she says. Of course, Leona was weird, and it was hard for the other kids to think she was stupid. Messy kids don’t have a clear look when they get a live shot.

”Are they just children? There are a lot of adults who are scared. “

”How?“

Everyone knows about the Hive, but everyone thinks it’s a rumor.

”The moment the Hive monsters crawl to the ground, the day the city collapses. Well, they believe in something similar in the end. “

”What’s apocalypse? “

”… there is such a thing. “

Sae Samjin felt that what he said was ridiculous. It was a nasty black comedy, discussing apocalypse in an already apocalyptic world.

They were now arriving by train at the target point and moving to the corresponding address.

”Some people believe the Hive is just a rumor. “

If there was such a group of monsters, it was people’s logic why the ground would remain intact.

Leona taps Gin with her elbow as if she remembered something interesting.

”So there is a Hive after all? “

”Yes… If the Dean’s right. “

Although I didn’t ask for the truth, even the hunter in the Hwang Yong Nest lost his arms and eyes while hunting for the Hive’s monarch. I think I’ve lost a lot, but that’s all I’ve lost.

If he had been that much, all those who were with him on the hunt would have been unworthy guests.

”So if I can control the monsters properly, I can turn this place upside down? “

Gene stares at Leona with that sudden, furious look on his face.

”Yes. We can do that without a scratch. “

But Jean’s words were much more sincere than jokes. That’s why I was a little tired of Leona’s face when she brought out the horse as a toy.

”Why, why do you look like that…. I’m not really doing it, I’m just… I’m curious…. “

Monsters hiding underground don’t spontaneously come out of the ground. But only one witch can control the will of such monsters and lure them to the ground. This vast land will be destroyed in just one day.

Demons are called demons for different reasons, but witches also have the power to do nothing. And sometimes, it’s more dangerous than any other demon.

”Don’t say that. “

” ……. “

Gene walks away, not looking at Leona.

”Horses have power, and sometimes you call them that you don’t want them to be. “

”Yes… “

Horses have power.

As a matter of fact, spells do.
