Note: h.e.l.lo everyone!
So, there were several comments where people were confused about what âdealâ meant. After reading the authorâs comment about this, they said it just means attack. So, deal means attack and dealers means attackers. Hope this answers the confusion you guys had.
Anyways, onto the story!

âIt seems like I always have to study otherâs expression.â
But Hyun-Soo didnât lose hope.
It was a small step now, but later on, itâll become a big step for him.
He might have to bow to the other hunters now, but he planned on raising his rank so that people wouldnât look down on him any longer.
âReady? Once you see a Flower Spore, get into position and when I aggravate it, start attacking.â
Hyun-Soo stood near the entrance along with the other carriers while listening to the leaderâs instructions.
âSo this is what the inside of a portal looks like&h.e.l.lip;â
Seeing the inside of the portal for the first time, Hyun-Soo kept on looking around.
Beyond the marsh-like walls and floors, he never imagined that there would be something beyond this large s.p.a.ce.
The monster, Flower Spore, was at place where unknown gra.s.s and flowers grew and there were small trees in various places of the field.
It was such a peaceful location that if they werenât here to hunt monsters, it would be nice place to have a picnic.
It didnât seem like there would be any monsters in this peaceful place.
The field turned into a battlefield once a hunter sprinkled something, causing something to move below the ground.
Crack!
âItâs coming! Get in position!â
Under Choi Do-Wonâs order, the hunters got into position. Their plan was to spread out and trap the monster.
Suddenly, a rough, green vine appeared out of the ground.
Behind it, a wide flower petal appeared slowly.
It was as large as three adults with their arms spread out.
Under the flower petal, a thick, green bouquet started moving.
The Flower Spore completely crawled out of the ground and after seeing its full form, the first thing that came into Hyun-Sooâs head was how disgusting it was.
âTo think that a disgusting thing like that was living in such a peaceful place like this.â
After seeing its tentacle-like form, Hyun-Soo opened the interface.
âInterface!â
âââââââââââââââââââââââââ
> Flower Spore [F]
> Plant Type Monster
> Primary Location: Grey Portal
> Energy Field Status: 100%
> ??
> ??
I used it out of curiosity, and like I had a.s.sumed, something popped up.
âWhatâs with all these unknown information?â
Since it wasnât fully activated, there were several information that was missing.
It was impossible to check its primary skills.
It only displayed its basic information.
âIs it telling me to raise my skills level? Well, at least Iâll know the monsterâs name before attacking it. Itâs nice to at least see its Energy Field Status.â
âLetâs first aggravate it.â
As the tanker, Choi Do-Won ran towards it first.
The Flower Spore was a lot taller than the average male and with its disgusting form, anyone would be intimidated by it, but it seemed like the hunters didnât feel that way.
With his sharp weapon, Choi Do-Won cut the Flower Sporeâs root.
As the thick, green vine was cut, a yellow liquid seeped out of it.
Kyah!
Wiggling its green vine, the petal part turned towards Choi Do-Won to keep its guard up.
As the flower petal shrunk, it bloomed widely and shot out green powder.
But, as the flower petal shrunk, Choi Do-Won was already far away from it.
After the green powder completely dispersed, they approached the monster again and deeply struck its roots.
Kyahhhhhh!
The Flower Sporeâs vines wiggled violently.
The vines that were spread out were now targeting Choi Do-Won.
âItâs aggravated! Start attacking!â
Choi Do-Won yelled out this command as he grabbed the shield that was on his back. The hunters that were spread out started attacking.
First, two attackers stood behind the Flower Spore.
Standing near the monster, they used the weapons that they brought and started attacking it.
Hyun-Soo, who was watching from afar, saw yellow liquid seeping out when the hunters attack with swords that were as large as their biceps.
âIf I become a close-range attacker, I should carry extra clothes with me.â
He wasnât sure if it was their clothes or gear, but the two hunterâs faces were covered in the yellow liquid.
Out of the six attackers, four of them stood their ground and started attacking.
Some shot arrows and others shot flaming arrows. There were two people that threw iced lance towards the monster.
The problem was that the monster managed to counter-attack the arrows and the lance with its vines.
While tanking, Choi Do-Won looked towards the base and shouted.
âAttack its body! Attacking its vine has no effect!â
They started attacking its body like Choi Do-Won had suggested.
âI thought they studied the attacks, but theyâre not doing so well.â
âIf they coordinate well, they should be able to capture the Flower Spore, but&h.e.l.lip;they should be fine, right?â
âIâm starting to feel uneasy. They shouldnât have a problem as long as they avoid the vines, but seeing them attack the vines instead of the body is a bit&h.e.l.lip;â
The carriers that were standing near the entrance were watching the hunt and started making comments.
âLetâs move closer. We donât need to attack the body anyways and if we just attack the vines that are slightly sticking out, we can get experience points. Letâs move a little closer.â
When a hunter attacks the monsterâs energy field, the hunter acquires the same amount of energy as they attacked.
