The knife costed just as much as leasing a house.
The dagger wasnât this expensive.
âIs it this pricey because of the alloy?â
While Hyun-Soo was shocked by the price, Kim Yoo-Na watched and intercepted.
âYou wonât be able to use that for a long time. How about that one instead?â
Kim Yoo-Na pointed towards one of the displays.
It was a sword that had a light blue glow to it.
It was long and sharp, which made it the perfect weapon for stabbing an enemy.
âYou have a good eye. It was created by mixing a White Unicornâs blood. As you can see, thereâs a rich, blue glow, just like a unicornâs blood. Itâs two times, no, three times stronger than an ordinary sword. Itâs the most useful weapon at that level.â
âSeven billionâ¦â¦!â
Hyun-Soo was shocked again after he glanced at the price tag.
He couldnât hear what the staff was saying.
âWhy is it so expensive? It seems like they just up the price whenever they use the word, monster. But they only mixed 3% of it. But itâs still seven billionâ¦â
After checking Interface, Hyun-Soo was able to see that they only mixed a tiny bit of it, despite of how much the staff was talking about it.
If you knew how to handle metal, you would be able to get rich through this.
âShould I learn that too?â
But, the staff and Kim Yoo-Na were starting to have a discussion and didnât really consider Hyun-Sooâs opinion.
They were talking about what kind of monster was mixed in, the shape, its performance and durability.
They were talking so professionally about it that Hyun-Soo couldnât intercept.
âI donât care about the monsters. I just need an ordinary sword thatâs like a kitchen knife.â
He thought about just going to the market.
They might not carry the length that he wanted, but.
âI think this one is pretty good.â
âThatâs a good choice, sir. Itâs a weapon that can be used when you become a higher-ranked hunter. High-ranked hunters sometimes look for it. The fact that itâs light is what makes it stand out.â
It was a bit longer than the forearm and the blade was slightly curved.
The blade was white and the hilt was black. The color arrangement pleased Hyun-Soo.
On top of that, it was light so he liked it even more.
Hyun-Soo used Interface.
âInterface!â
ââââââââââ
[Blue Platypus Sword][Normal]
The sword has been coated with the Blue Platypusâs oil thatâs been purified.
The fact that it will always remain clean is its strong point.
Its light weight is what makes it stand out.
The critical rate will slightly increase upon use.
ââââââââââ
After seeing the information displayed on Interface, it seemed like a pretty good weapon.
âIt would be hard for me to adapt if the sword is heavy, so itâll be best to go with a light one.â
As soon as the staff saw Hyun-Soo showing interest in the sword, they started talking about it excitedly.
âSince the blade has been coated with the Blue Platypusâs oil, any blood or fluids from monsters will easily clean off. Weâre having an event where we provide a sheath as a free gift with the sword. Itâs a great item to purchase now.â
âI see. Thatâs pretty nice.â
He swung the sword in the air and liked how it felt in his hand.
It was so light that it didnât really affect his wrist or arm.
He swung it a couple of times to test it out and the way it cut through the air was sharp.
âItâs very affordable as well.â
âHow much is it?â
âItâs currently on sale, so itâs being sold at 1.7 billion. Isnât it a good deal?â
Hyun-Soo carefully put down the sword.
This one costed just as much as a house.
ââ¦Iâll look around some more.â
âExcuse me? Even I think this is the best one.â
People use this method when they donât plan on purchasing the item, but Kim Yoo-Na messed that plan up for Hyun-Soo.
Her expression asked why he wasnât buying it.
âWhat do you mean why? Itâs because I canât afford it.â
As a A rank hunter, Kim Yoo-Na probably didnât understand.
No matter how you look at it, Kim Yoo-Na didnât look like the type that was short on money.
To her, 1.7 billion was nothing.
It wasnât that Hyun-Soo didnât have any money.
From all the times Kim Yoo-Na and Hyun-Soo went hunting together, he received a portion of the reward.
Kim Yoo-Na took care of attacking the portal, taking down the monster and other things.
Hyun-Soo only did what he was told to do and killed the monster according to her instructions.
âTechnically, Iâm benefiting more.â
Anyways, Hyun-Soo took home the money that he made.
After thinking it through, he decided to take care of the remaining amount.
Since he paid off the debt, things were looking up for his family.
I had to pay a lot in taxes, but I managed to save a lot from what I had left.
Now his goal was to buy a house.
It was important to save as much as he could so that he could buy a house.
Hyun-Soo saved up as much as he could.
But, he didnât save all the money that he had.
He spent it when he needed to.
Saving money on necessities wasnât smart saving, but just ridiculous.
Itâs best to spend money on things that he needed.
âBut spending money on a sword that costs 1.7 billionâ¦?â
It would be different if it was his main weapon, but it was going to be his secondary weapon.
âIâm sure thereâs another thatâll fit me best. Iâll look around more.â
âOkay.â
Kim Yoo-Na looked at the sword that was coated with Platypus oil in disappointment.
Hyun-Soo felt relieved that she agreed and decided to quietly move back.
It was to get away from the staff that recommended weapons that costed billions.
Maybe itâs because he was in a rush.
He ended up b.u.mping into another person that was in the store.
âWhat the h.e.l.l!â
Hyun-Soo turned around and apologized to the person he accidentally b.u.mped into.
âIâm sorry.â
âWhy donât you watch where youâre going?!â
Despite of him quickly apologizing, the other person talked violently.
He was suddenly in a bad mood because of what they said.
He acknowledged the fact that he made the mistake.
When Hyun-Soo was about to apologize again.
âWhatâs wrong? What happened?â
Their party appeared and asked what happened.
âTheir voice sounds familiar.â
It was a voice he had heard before.
Feeling odd about it, Hyun-Soo raised his head and their eyes met.
âOh? Youâre?â
Their eyes widened after noticing Hyun-Soo.
At the same time, Hyun-Soo remembered who they were.
âWhy is that crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d here?â
Itâs only been a couple of minutes since theyâve seen each otherâs faces.
But his personality was engraved into his head.
âLook whoâs here. Youâre that idiotic, trashy carrier that acted out of place.â
Because he was filled with anger due to a misunderstanding, he prevented Hyun-Soo from partic.i.p.ating in other hunts.
It was the healer, Kim Yoo-Han.
âDo you know this guy?â
âI told you before, didnât I? Heâs that porter that spoke out of place and messed up the hunt.â
âOh! That hunt? Even that tanker said he was acting out of place.â
âYeah. That guy is pretty skilled, but heâs slow-witted. If he had just thrown the carrier to the monster, it couldâve ended easily, but he was being dumb and kept on tanking.â
As if he couldnât see that Hyun-Soo was standing in front of him, Kim Yoo-Han was talking to his party.
The problem was that Hyun-Soo heard everything loud and clear.
He probably spoke that way so that Hyun-Soo could hear him.
âWhat are these crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.ds blabbing about?â
It was pretty obvious who they were talking about without saying the name.
On top of that, his comment was pretty shocking.
âThrow me to the monsters? Does he even know what heâs saying?â
He wasnât sure if he was serious, or if he was just bluffing to make himself look good in front of the others.
âHeâs definitely bluffing.â
On top of that, he left out the part about how he made a mistake.
But, aside from the mistake, after Hyun-Soo thought about the crazy things that the healer did, he might not be bluffing.
âAre all healers like this? The other healer was pretty normal. He must be a special case among the healers.â
With that thought, Hyun-Soo decided to ignore him.
He was no longer affected by what Kim Yoo-Han said.
Since he was being taught by Kim Yoo-Na, there was no need for him to be desperate about finding a job.
Also, Hyun-Soo was a D rank.
It was the same rank as Kim Yoo-Han, who boasted about it.
âIgnoring the crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d is the wisest thing to do.â
He didnât want to get involved with him.
Thatâs why he decided to ignore him..
Thatâs what Hyun-Soo felt when he watched the other party members laugh along with the crazy healer.
Since he already apologized for b.u.mping into him, Hyun-Soo decided to leave.
âI heard you got kicked out of the hunter community. Are you here to buy a weapon?â
âThere are rumors that youâve been scamming people about selling scrolls to them. It seems like youâre using that money to pretend to be a hunter. How can a carrier obtain a scroll?â
âIf he is scamming, we should capture him and hand him over. Itâs bad that heâs using scrolls to scam people.â
Hyun-Soo didnât say anything, but they somehow came to an odd conclusion.
It didnât matter whether they really thought he was a scammer or not.
It looked like they were going to cause trouble.
Kim Yoo-Hanâs party were the first ones to move.
There was only one reason why a healer like him would come to the close-range weapon floor.
He followed his party.
One of them was a close-range attacker and they grabbed Hyun-Sooâs shoulder by using their hook-like hand.
No, they tried to grab him.
âI donât think so!â
As soon as their finger was about to grab his shoulder, Hyun-Soo quickly took a step back.
And using that foot as support, he turned his body.
Naturally, the guyâs hand grabbed the air instead of Hyun-Sooâs shoulder.
âHuh, nice trick.â
The guy had a twisted smile on his face.
He looked at his hand, then looked at Hyun-Sooâs face and a smirk appeared.
âLetâs see if you can dodge this.â
He got into a strange position.
âIt kind of looks like a saddle stance. It looks like itâs from an old Chinese martial arts drama.â
He placed his feet at shoulder width and bent his knees. Then, he placed his arms on his upper body and touched his waist with his hand.
In that stance, he started making weird noises as if he was gathering energy.
âHaaaaaaa! Ha!â
Boom!
Then, he stomped his foot into the ground and started running towards Hyun-Soo.
When his foot stomped the ground, a loud noise filled each of the floors.
When he neared Hyun-Soo, he extended his hand towards Hyun-Sooâs stomach.
His hand looked like a hook and he put so much force into it that it looked like it could pierce through his skin.
If a stranger saw this, it wouldnât be weird for them to see a hole in Hyun-Sooâs stomach at any moment.
But.
âToo slow.â
His attack moved slowly in Hyun-Sooâs eyes.
It was so slow that it seemed like someone cut out each frame from a video.
His attack was so slow, that it seemed like he was saying, âIâll attack here, so dodge it!â
Thereâs no way he would get hit by such a slow attack.
Hyun-Soo easily dodged his attack by bending his body backward a bit.
âHeâs not playing with me, is he? Why is his attack so sloppy?â
End.
