chapter 4
Episode 4
Yep!
-Experience gained.
– Level up!
– Killed 100 werewolf type monsters.
– Achieved new achievement ‘Wolf Slayer’.
– Acquired 1 strength status.
– Reputation has increased by 5.
5 hours.
This is the time it took for Fafnir to reach level 15.
“Okay, two hours early.”
Achieved 2 hours earlier than originally expected.
This is thanks to the fact that they drove their prey without any other competitors.
And that’s not all.
– Gathering was successful.
-Obtained wolf skin.
All the wolves caught were carefully skinned.
A collection that most users ignore as japtem.
But if you put it all together, it becomes a lot more money than you think.
‘I’m not used to this kind of thing.’
I have dissected the corpses of many monsters in Dragon World.
Fafnir even hummed and took the wolf skin.
‘This level is enough, let’s go calculate soon.’
Clover Village leather, leather workshop.
It is the only place in town that handles leather.
A must-visit place for beginners, where rabbits, foxes, and animal skins are piled up.
You can learn not only how to handle leather, but also tanning skills that are used over and over again.
However, users rarely stopped by this place.
The reason is, firstly, to go directly to the big city.
Second, there was a minor problem.
“excuse me… … .”
“I don’t accept people while I’m working.”
leather workshop.
The novices who had just brought rabbit skins were being kicked out.
“Besides, I won’t take that crap even if I give it to you.”
“what? This inspiration!”
“Would you like to try?”
Wooddeuk. A middle-aged man showing off his muscles.
Tired of the intimidation, the beginners eventually lowered their tails.
‘That personality is the problem.’
I don’t accept customers while I’m working, and if people come and I don’t like them, I kick them out right away.
If it’s good, it’s pride, if it’s bad, it’s extremely my own pace.
It was only because of the NPC’s personality that I didn’t want to go there.
The tired users forcibly gathered hides and headed to the big city.
however… … .
“Hello, Uncle Paul.”
“No, isn’t it Fafnir?”
A middle-aged man named Paul admired Fafnil.
“You look a bit busy right now, but I’ll come back later.”
“It’s okay. How many things have you done?”
The power of good impressions steadily accumulated in the village!
It was a completely different reaction from others.
“But what is it?”
“Actually, I want you to take care of the wolf skin.”
“Wolf skin? Show me where.”
Fafnir held out his wolf skin.
Paul looked at it for a while and asked.
“Did you tan this leather?”
“yes.”
“Huh.”
Paul smiled and continued.
“It’s the first time in my life that I’ve seen a rookie adventurer bring an intact hide of this level.”
“Then are you buying it?”
“If this is enough, I should rather ask you to sell it. 65 copper each, no… … I’ll pay you 70 copper.”
Ordinary wolf skin costs 50 copper.
However, such neatly peeled leather is not easily available.
This is a mutually beneficial transaction.
It was a price that was set in consideration of the accumulated liking there.
“Could you please hit me a little more? I barely caught on… … .”
– Try to bargain.
“hmm… … . Well, leather like this isn’t common… … . okay I’ll hit you up to 73 coppers.”
– The bargain was successful.
– The proficiency of bargaining skills has increased.
Acquire skill proficiency that you can take care of while you are here!
Fafnil, who had confirmed that far, added.
“And Uncle Paul, could you make some armor out of the leftover leather?”
“That is not difficult. 10 silver… … .”
“I don’t need anything common like that.”
Paul’s expression hardened for the first time.
“No matter how much you helped the village, I can’t forgive you for insulting my work.”
“We need the best of the best.”
“Where are you going to write it?”
“There are opponents to beat. He is a man with heavenly luck.”
this is the foundation
Paul laughed while listening to the explanation.
“That’s too much for a rural leather craftsman like me.”
“Please do your best.”
“Don’t expect.”
Meaning of acceptance in practice.
Paul, who nodded, tilted his head.
“By the way, do you have any more ingredients? This is leather for sale, so there must be other materials.”
“I have it prepared. some space… … .”
“space? What does that mean?”
There is enough left in the store for three or four people.
Isn’t this enough to take out anything?
A shadow fell in front of Paul’s eyes as he looked around.
“Uh, maybe that’s all… … ?”
“Yes, thank you very much again.”
Pile of wolf skins filling the leather workshop!
Paul’s eyes changed as he scanned the contents.
“this… … . I won’t have time to rest for a while.”
All leathers are of good quality.
Even if you cheat, this is a mutually beneficial transaction.
Gulp, I heard Paul swallow.
To Fafnil, it sounded like the sound of a thick wallet.
* * *
“That’s 2 gold.”
The room where I left the capsule.
Kim Kang-han checked.
‘1 gold is 50,000 won, so I earned about 100,000 won with wolf skin.’
What I was checking was the profit I saw this time and the budget situation.
‘Currently, the remaining funds are approximately 12 million won.’
Living expenses are about 700,000 won per month. In addition, Horizon’s maintenance and electricity bills are 300,000 to 400,000 won per month.
‘It can last for about 8 months at most.’
This level is to reduce unnecessary expenses, including food expenses, as much as possible.
My body can’t stand it if I cut it down any further.
‘Game over when the money runs out. If I can’t play the game, I can’t go back to the original world.’
You might die right now on the road in the world of the novel.
You can’t even sell items.
‘I can’t dig up seeds just because I’m hungry.’
Game money is an investment in the future.
It does not simply mean growth, but actually increases the exchange rate with cash.
Simply put, it can be seen as taking the place of a coin.
It was for that reason that the rare skill book was not sold.
‘Of course I should use it for growth.’
Kim Kang-han’s eyes turned to the floor.
Saimdang Shin, no, Saimdang Gassimdang, were looking this way neatly.
“This is real.”
100,000 won when you start the game?
Cheap voice phishing has really taken place.
But Kim Kang-han couldn’t help but laugh.
It meant that all of the author’s other quests were also real.
‘The new quest… … . Here you are.’
[Getting a job at Horizon.]
-You who entered the new world for the first time. Now you have to decide how to live in that world.
-Reward: Hanwoo Beef 1kg Set
‘I need to make money quickly.’
It is time to pay off billions in debt and accelerate growth.
To do that, there’s something you need to do first.
‘Shall we decide on a job first?’
Kim Kang-han rested his chin.
If you leave the starting point and go to the city, you can get a job.
‘What should I do?’
If it was Kim Kang-han in reality, there would be no need for such worries.
dragon world.
It was because he was the one who caught countless dragons that were impregnable in the most difficult hunting game.
‘But here I have to make an achievement.’
Achievements soon become strength.
Not only in the game, but also in real life outside.
‘The problem is that there are too many targets.’
Kim Kang-han reflected on the contents of the novel.
There are two ways to achieve achievements in Horizon.
Defeat the villain group in the novel or become a bigger villain than them.
‘Including not only monsters but also users.’
A giant guild or clan created by users.
To fight and win against them, you had to prepare for a battle with the majority.
‘Hunters are the opposite.’
A hunter who is strong in many-on-one or one-on-one combat.
Kim Kang-han shook his head.
‘In the end, I’ll seek help from those around me, but that doesn’t make sense.’
A class that becomes a one-on-one battle.
Kim Kang-han naturally came up with a class.
‘As expected, there are only wizards.’
A wizard who freely uses powerful magic.
It is a class that requires a lot of capital, but it was not a problem for Kim Kang-han.
‘It’s money, just read the strategy book and earn it.’
When you’re done thinking, you have to move.
Kim Kang-han stood up from his seat.

“Are you leaving now?”
“I will miss you.”
NPCs in Clover Village huddled together.
Clear skies and chirping birds.
As such a background unfolded around the entrance to the village, it was like a painting.
“I’ve been blessed in the meantime, but I can’t just let go. receive it.”
The gathered people each held out their objects.
“This is my castle.”
-Obtained a large travel backpack.
From a backpack that can increase your inventory.
“If a wild beast attacks you, you can throw this. Don’t go and die from blind fangs.”
-Obtained well-dried bait jerky.
To bait meat for survival.
“These are travel shoes. When you are done writing, write this.”
-Obtained leather boots.
Even handmade shoes.
“… … .”
Items piled up in both hands.
The gift offensive did not stop until the inventory was full.
The past years spent hard in the village.
I don’t think it was in vain.
“thank you. thank you!”
Although the goods alone are beneficial, I feel like I have received something more than that.
The village chief added to Fafnir, who lowered his head.
“Don’t forget my request.”
A chain quest to deliver a letter to the son who works at the castle in the city.
In addition to the small experience points, you can even enter and exit the castle.
It was a quest with no reason to refuse.
‘Then shall we go?’
After being sent off, Fafnir headed for the northern forest.
An NPC was standing at the entrance to the forest.
“I was waiting. Are you going to the city?”
It was Paul, the leather craftsman who commissioned the production.
“Receive.”
-Obtained Paul’s leather armor top and leather armor bottom.
“This… … .”

‘Are you okay?’
What a rare set item.
If you put it on the item market, you could get 150, or 2 million won.
‘It rises more over time.’
Of course, this is the most helpful now.
Fafnil started to walk the path through the forest.
‘I can’t see other people.’
Usually, users go to the city using warp gates.
Cost is 1 gold.
It’s quite, no, it’s a lot of money, but people paid generously.
There are two reasons.
The first is because it is an advantage in terms of time and distance.
Second, there was a ‘very trivial’ reason.
‘It came out like that in the original novel… … .’
Fafnil raised his head.
Before I knew it, monsters the size of children were full of pointed ears and teeth.
A swarm of man-eating goblins.
This was the reason beginners used warp gates too much.
‘It’s not easy.’
so it is not known
What the main character gets in the original novel.
The ‘Hidden Peace’ sleeping in the nest of those goblins.
‘The equipment must have been upgraded, shall we try it?’
The moment Fafnir held the spear.
Goblins rushed in.
It was the start of a fight.
