Episode 18
米 #： #：
A week has passed since the gate break incident.
I attacked the gate without missing a day.
‘I can’t waste even a day.’
My goal was simple.
Becoming stronger.
It’s a simple goal, but I’ve never had such strong motivation.
Being strong is addictive.
Every time you train and hunt monsters, your body becomes stronger and the amount of chaos energy increases.
The power to play was given to me.
Having my abilities expressed in objective numbers ignited my motivation.
Suddenly!
The sword, whose entire body was black, quickly cut off the nape of the boss monster, [Twin Head Werewolf].
-Experience has increased by 2.3%.
-Your level has risen. Please activate the status window and increase your ability level.
11 levels.
It was all thanks to focusing on hunting for a week.
‘It’s getting harder and harder to level up.’
Normal monsters average 0.1%
When you defeat a boss monster, you gain about 2% experience.
The difficulty of obtaining experience points will increase steeply as you increase the level.
‘There should be a penalty like this.’
Player power.
Self-transformation. Just by hunting monsters, you can break the limits and increase your abilities.
Rather, it is a power that can feel even a small penalty.
“Please finish.”
After leaving it to the support team to dispose of the monster’s body, I fell back.
“Hmph!”
I put my arms on the ground, kicked my feet, and flipped my body over in reaction.
Aerial handstand!
In that state, he bent his arms while using Seongcheonjogyekong.
Druddeuddeuddeuk-!
The swollen arm muscles radiate strength.
Even right after hunting the monster, there was no rest.
It wasn’t a difficult opponent, and my stamina and
The chaos also remained leisurely.
‘Now is the perfect time to exercise.’
My body feels relaxed.
The nerves in my entire body became sharp due to tension, and my five senses became sensitive.
Only at this time was it possible to maximize the effectiveness of training.
I used the Seongcheonjogye ball while training my body. The chaotic energy generated in the world of images circulates throughout the body and permeates the muscles.
The mind law of Mu Continent changes the human body.
As the mana in the atmosphere permeates the body, it transcends human limitations and transforms into a transcendent being.
Seongcheon Jogye Gong is the most outstanding martial art among the numerous mind techniques of the Mu Continent.
Naturally, the effects of training appeared quickly.
Another fact.
Inside the gate, the concentration of mana was much richer than on Earth.
[Physical abilities improve due to the effects of Seongcheon Jogye Gong.]
[Strength increased by 1.]
[Toughness has increased by 0.4.]
[Agility increased by 0.5.]
The body was stimulated by the abundant mana and accepted the chaos more efficiently.
‘If you train here, you will be more than three times more efficient than on Earth.’
This is why I started training my body whenever I had time inside the gate.
While I was straining my body for a while, Younghyun Jeong approached me.
“Mincheol Hunter. This side is finished.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
“Oh my gosh. Are you working out again? After putting your body through such hard work.”
“It’s perfect now when I’m less nervous.”
“Hi. You’re handsome.”
He chuckled and relaxed his posture.
Now it’s time to return to the original place.

When I finished clearing the gate, Ellie was waiting for me outside as usual.
“I’m waiting again.”
“Because my main job is to assist Hunter Mincheol.”
“I guess the interstellar alliance won’t be that busy.”

“Hoho, please consider that our branch cares for Mincheol Hunter just as much.”
Ellie laughed while covering her mouth.
“Hey, Director Ellie. Can’t you see us?”
“No way. Thank you to all the support team for their hard work.”
“Kneel down and bow down.”
Although he grunted with his mouth, the corner of Jeong Young-hyeon’s mouth twitched.
A compliment from a striking beauty. It’s even weirder when you’re in a bad mood.
“Mincheol Hunter. The branch leader wants to see you tomorrow.”
“what brings you here?”
“You said that all the equipment you requested has been completed.”
A weapon requested by Martin.
This is something I requested while returning 4 billion out of the 5 billion won down payment.
‘It would be impossible to pick up the items and then go all the way to the gate.’
Gate strategy takes quite a lot of time, including the before and after steps.
A lot of time is spent in the preparation process, from searching the gate to equipping the hunter team and support team with equipment.
I am a bit of an exception case.
It is rare for someone to enter the gate alone and sweep away without gathering information.
‘The support team needs time to prepare.
peel.’
Attacking the gate is important, but checking your equipment comes first.
I also wanted to see with my own eyes the skills that the branch manager was proud of.
“I guess I’ll take a break from attacking the gate tomorrow.”
I muttered with regret.
The reaction came in the wrong direction.
“Mincheol Hunter. Is this true?”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“That means we’ll take a break from the attack tomorrow.”
Younghyun asked back excitedly.
Is taking a break tomorrow so important?
I answered in a shaky voice.
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Ugh! Ugh! How long has it been since this holiday!”
“Ugh. I can finally rest.”
“Thank you all for your hard work. I can’t tell you how difficult it was to enter the gate every day.”
The support team welcomed my decision warmly(?).
As if letting out all the anger I had been holding in for so long, I went berserk over the long-awaited holiday.
I was dumbfounded by the support team’s violent reaction.
“What is this? This reaction…?”
“Hohoho. Do you really not know why you’re doing that?”
“I don’t know.”
“Ensuring weekend rest is important even at work. But there are certain vices.”
“The business owner kept making me work.”
“Is that the owner of that evil business is me?”
Instead of answering, Ellie smiled strangely.
It was an attractive smile, but it was just as obnoxious as it was now.
“A typical hunter attacks the gate once every two or three days. They also work two to three times more than usual.”
“I’m sorry it’s not typical.”
Even if I snap at him, he just laughs.
The branch manager, Martin, was watching me.
I’m busy.
Ellie, my direct subordinate, treated me without much pressure.
I’m sure you know that I am the owner of ‘Code R’.
Martin and Ellie.
Anyway, it’s an interesting combination.
After finishing the gate strategy, I returned home.
During the gate attack, the Interstellar Alliance provided vehicle support, so I was able to rest comfortably.
“How much is the total settlement amount so far?”
I’m here?”
“Capturing 7 gates. The total amount obtained by disposing of monster by-products and items is 450 million won. This amount does not include today’s amount.”
“It’s less than I thought.”
The gate break situation was resolved and 1.3 billion won was earned.
Looking at the level of difficulty, it was similar to conquering a D-class gate.
Ellie clicked her tongue as if she knew what I was thinking.
“That is a special situation. Earning over 400 million won in a week is not normal.
Is it you?”
“It’s not net profit.”
“That’s right. If we allocate a portion to the support team and cover the cost of consumables… we will lose about 100 million won.”
Still, there is 300 million left.
300 million per week.
It’s a huge amount of money that I never even thought about before I realized my past life.
What’s not so surprising is that my liver size has also gotten bigger.
‘In the end, capital is also power.’
The pinnacle of the demon world.
When I was a dimension leader, I could get everything I wanted.
The Earth ruled by capitalism is different. To get what you want, you have to pay for the goods equivalent to their value.
‘If you look at the equipment that Martin made, you will be able to gauge the extent of the investment.’
The more money the better.
Of course, for me, money was just one of the means to become stronger.
Sigh-
The car stopped.
Before I knew it, I had arrived near the house.
As I was about to open the door and go out, Ellie opened her mouth.
“I’ll come pick you up by 10 a.m.”
“Yes. Good job today too.”
“Mincheol Hunter too.”
I closed the back door and looked up at the sky.
The sun begins to set towards the west.
Autumn with cool winds blowing.
It is the time when the time difference between day and night begins to reverse.
What to do at night?
Of course it is decided.
‘It’s the law of the heart.’
The only thing that can increase the achievement level of Seongcheon Jogye Gong is at night.
For some, it was the end of the day’s work, but for me, it was the moment when a new schedule began.
Rice Rice Rice Rice
next day.
I visited the Seoul branch of the Interstellar Alliance with Ellie who came to meet me.
The car stopped near the building.
Several people are loitering in front of the Seoul branch.
“They are reporters.”
“Reporter? Why are they hanging around here?”
“It’s because of Hunter Mincheol. Since he adheres to mysticism, I’m trying to get at least some news.”
no.
I’ve never adhered to anything like mysticism.
I just passed because it was annoying.
In the eyes of others, he must have been seen as a noble mystic hunter.
“Should we wait until the reporters leave?”
“It’s okay. You have to keep your appointment.”
Without hesitation, I headed to the front door of the building.
Several reporters wandering nearby had their eyes sparkling.
“Hunter Jeon Min-cheol! I’d like to ask you one thing!”
“You were active during the last gate break incident…
I operated Seongcheon Jogye Gong.
Let some of the chaos seep into your vocal cords.
He said as if shouting.
“The official answer will be given through the Interstellar Alliance.”
Qarring!
Would lightning be like this in a dry sky?
The voice mixed with confusion was amplified and rang loudly in front of the building.
While the reporters, overwhelmed by his spirit, hesitated, they quickly entered the building.
The reporters, who were momentarily overwhelmed by their spirit, looked at Ellie, the Interstellar Alliance representative who was following them.
“…I knew it would be like this.”
Ellie, who stayed behind, muttered while clutching her forehead.
I glanced at the reporters and Ellie.
‘I’m sorry, but I’ll leave the troublesome work to you.’
There was already an employee waiting for me at the front of the building.
After receiving directions, I was able to go straight to the branch manager’s office.
Spacious office.
As soon as the stocky dwarf saw me, he got up from his seat and smiled broadly.
It was Martin, the Seoul branch manager of the Interstellar Alliance.
“Oh, Mincheol Hunter. I heard you’ve been busy every day these days.”
“Okay. Since I’m busy, let’s get to the point first.”
I moved my eyes left and right.
I wanted to see the results of spending 4 billion more than just a greeting from the branch manager.
“Keu. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”
Martin grinned and brought a cart.
Black armor with upper and lower garments set.
Boots in the same black color.
And there was a set of earrings and two rings.
‘It looks pretty good.’
Refined magical power flows along the surface of the armor.
Martin guy. As I said at the time, the title Meister didn’t seem to have been earned by playing poker.
“The description of the item…
“It’s okay. I’m more sure if I take a look.”
［Eyes of Truth］

I used the Eye of Truth to check the item’s performance.

“This… is huge.”
I couldn’t think of anything to say other than admiration.
all.
It was not a waste of 4 billion.
The performance of the armor was enough to cover the disappointment felt during the battle.
Weak attacks can be ignored by relying on the defense, and for powerful attacks, the defense can be amplified using the hard armor built into [Tanros’ Faith].
Earrings and rings also provided what I needed.
Item settings that seem to know my fighting style and fill in what I am lacking.
“Hehehe. Do you like my work?”
“Perfect. It exceeded my expectations.”
“If we had had a little more time and budget, we could have made a more perfect equipment, but that’s a bit disappointing.”
“No. This is great. It was made for me.”
“Of course. We looked at the support team’s black box and designed it to maximize the VIP’s abilities.”
Not only was the branch manager resourceful, but he also had outstanding meister qualities.
I once again adjusted Martin’s value upward.
‘It wasn’t a coincidence that I was in charge of a branch close to the tower.’
I wore the items.
[Strength 28 -> 39.2]
[Agility 27.5 -> 40.4]
Sara and-
As soon as it was worn, the ability increase effect was applied immediately.
An unprecedented power surged throughout my body.
‘It’s not a waste of 4 billion.’
So far, I have invested all of my bonus stats into chaos power.
Chaos power was close to 100, but the remaining abilities remained in the mid to late 20s.
This is because there was no way to make the body stronger except for the training effect of Seongcheon Jogye Gong.
By wearing the item, I was able to compensate for some of my lack of basic abilities.
‘At this level, I can raise the gate level.’
D-class gates can be easily solved without items.
Now, it’s like having wings on your back as an aid to the item.
You are ready to take on the challenge of reaching higher heights.
“manager.”
“Yes. Is there anything else you need?”
“Arrange the B-class gate.”
Martin makes a blank expression.
After a while.
“Yesss?!”
I shouted so loudly that the office left.
