chapter 24
Taejeong, who was about to stand up immediately, called Gerard just in case.
“What is this? Why did you suddenly move?”
-It’s because the owner manipulated the accelerator pedal.
“An accelerator pedal? I was alone.”
– When a booster is activated, an accelerator is created at the front of the floor. The owner stepped on it.
“No way. I didn’t feel anything.”
Taejeong, who muttered in disbelief, cautiously moved her feet.
Then at some point, the whole body was shaken and the whole body started to tremble.
“This is it.”
What Gerard said was true.
A strange feeling in the feet.
It was clearly responding to the power of the answer.
“There seems to be something. It must be a bit tricky to write with such a subtle feeling, right?”
He tilted his head and stood up while releasing the booster.
Then all the wreckage you see.
The plasterboard wall was shattered, and the impact was so severe that the computer on the desk flew all the way to the kitchen.
The windows were also not intact.
It’s a situation where there really is no opening.
“If the owner sees it, there will be an uproar.”
afternoon the next day.
Taejeong roughly gathered the wreckage in one place and left the house.
Of course, I met with the landlord and reached an agreement, and the interior contractor was also called.
“Let’s see. where should i go with this computer… no. Let’s go from there.”
Tae-jeong was going to the electronics market, but turned around and headed to the Hunter Market.
Because I thought of things to live for and things to see.
After purchasing the medicine at the potion shop on the first floor, Taejeong went straight to the equipment shop on the third floor.
“Where are the equipment with penetration or accuracy options displayed?”
“There is no separate preparation for penetration, and equipment with an accuracy option can be purchased at an auction only in the VIP hall.”
“Are you a VIP? Aren’t there any regular stores?”
“Equipment with an accuracy rate is so rare.”
“Then what are the conditions for being a VIP?”
In response to Taejeong’s question, the employee gave a very annoying expression.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just looking at it, it doesn’t look like it has any purchasing power, but it’s because I thought it was taking away my time.
However, that did not mean that a single employee could not treat a guest rudely.
This is because if you unluckily complain, you may be kicked out, let alone promoted.
“Vip is divided into 4 levels: Gold, Premium, Special, and Prestige. The grades that can participate in the double auction are special and prestige grades, and you can get issued if the total purchase amount of each store exceeds 70 billion won and 100 billion won.”
At the employee’s explanation, Tae-jeong wondered if she had heard it wrong.
Because the amount was too unrealistic.
But he didn’t ask about it.
“Then the price of the equipment must be exorbitant.”
“Usually yes. In particular, in the case of hit options, there are extremely limited paths that can be obtained separately, so only top-level hunters are occasionally purchasing them.”
“Well. I understand for now.”
Realizing that there would be no point in listening further, Tae-jeong hurriedly left the market.
The amount of money is also in the range, but if the top hunters are your main customers, it means that there is no particular use yet.
The place I drove again was the Blue Gate of Mia-dong, where I had hunted before.
The Great Plains of Asilius.
I couldn’t grow because of the experience debuff, but I wanted to increase my understanding of boosters and earn money.
Taejeong parked her car in the right place and went straight into the gate.
Then a familiar plain with a deep blue sky came into his eyes.
At the same time, activating the exoskeleton robot and boosters created six pairs of square muffler tips that were pleasant to look at, along with a nice skeleton.
“ruler. Then, where should we try it?”
The location of the accelerator was made across the entire floor.
An organ-shaped pedal with a very shallow forward slope.
Cautiously, he brought strength to his front paws.
Then, an engine sound was heard and his new model came out like a spring.
“uh! uh!?”
With no time to respond, Tae-jeong’s body went round in an instant.
His expression of bewilderment.
He was about to get up and try again, but suddenly his body jumped like a frog and fell face down.
“Is this no answer?”
Even though it was only twice, Taejeong could definitely feel it.
That the booster’s pedal feel is ridiculously uncomfortable.
To be honest, I couldn’t even use it at all.
Half of the foot is in the form of hanging over the pedal, and the pedal force is light like a sponge, so it sinks into the pedal.
It was a structure that had no choice but to enter power just by walking.
No matter how much he thought about it, it seemed that he would not be able to use it in practice, so he called Gerard.
“Hey, Gerard.”
– Yes, master.
“Is this something that can be used in real life?”
-What’s your problem?
“The answering power is too light. The location is also inconvenient because it is in such a position that you can step on it if you walk.”
-Pedal position and effort can be adjusted step by step.
“What? Is that real?”
-That’s right. The pedal force can be adjusted from 1 to 100, and the pedal can be positioned at the rear as well as the front.
“But why are you saying that now?”
-The owner didn’t say anything, so I thought he was satisfied with the setting.
“What is satisfaction? … .”
Gerard’s answer gave him a sense of calm, but that wasn’t important right now.
If you can control it, the story will be different again.
“great. Disengage once.”
After disabling the booster, Taejeong stood up and started the engine again.
“What is the set response power now?”
-The current setting value is 10. The higher the number, the heavier the response.
“great. Let’s do it at 50 for now.”
– Change the setting value to 50.
The setting value changed and he carefully brought power to his front foot.
A pedal that holds up firmly despite exerting more than a certain amount of force.
When I applied a little more force, the reaction started to come little by little.
“It seems much better, but it still feels a bit unnatural. If I just use a booster, it won’t matter, but I can’t put strength in front when walking.”
– Shall we adjust the pedal part to the rear?
“No, let’s practice like this for now. After all, you can change the settings right away.”
After setting up, Taejeong started practicing right away.
Stumble, fall, fly, and collide.
how much time had passed
After repeating the booster dozens of times, he finally got used to the controls.
“It seems that this is enough to be usable, but I think I need to change the settings from time to time. It’s a very difficult skill to use alone. Well… Then, shall we do this and make some money?”
Taejeong, who decided to start hunting, immediately deployed the booster.
Then, with a roaring engine sound, his new model leaped forward in an instant.
No, it would be more appropriate to say that it was shot.
That meant it was fast.
“scent. One direct injection kills, kills.”
Taejeong, who was driving in a straight line about a foot off the ground, felt like her stomach was empty.
This pleasure of running through the wind with your whole body.
Of course it would be slower than the car, but the feeling was more than that.
I couldn’t help but burst out in admiration.
“Good, good! Let’s go faster, faster.”
His excited cry echoed across the plains sky.
Taejeong, who finally escaped the dungeon at night, muttered while rubbing her eyes.
“I need to buy at least one pair of glasses to use the booster. I thought I was losing my eyeballs.”
Taejeong, who was rubbing her bloodshot eyes from the wind, went to the market to dispose of the item.
He started hunting so late that he couldn’t eat much, but he still managed to get close to 100 million won.
Having used most of it to buy potions, he returned to his car and fell into trouble.
“The house is under renovation, so it must be a mess. Should I go to Soyoung? Or a lagoon?”
Tae-jeong, who was in conflict between her ball friend and her sister’s house, suddenly had that thought.
I have money, so why bother?
No matter how close they were, it was unavoidable that the bed was uncomfortable.
“okay. Let’s take this opportunity to go to a hotel.”
After organizing his thoughts, Taejeong left the market and found the largest hotel nearby.
[Mt. Hallasan]
It was a 5-star hotel that caters to this area.
A grand appearance that makes you feel rejected just by looking at it.
‘I should have just gone to a motel.’
He thought about going back for a while because of a strange feeling, but he had already unloaded his luggage.
Entering the hotel with the clothes she had brought from home, Tae-jung couldn’t help but admire the antiquity of the lobby.
The marble floor that was polished enough to reflect the face, the floor high enough to open up the chest, and the luxurious chandeliers and lights hanging here and there were luxurious enough to make you wonder if a place like this exists in the world.
‘Certainly, an expensive hotel is huge even for a blind eye like me.’
Taejeong, who had been looking around the lobby in admiration, headed to the empty desk.
“Are there any rooms left?”
“Yes, sir, which room would you like?”
“Well. Just give me the cheapest one.”
“Currently, all standard rooms are full, so would a deluxe room be okay? It has a full window, so it will be nice to enjoy the night view.”
“yes. I’ll make it there.”
“It is 2.2 million won including VAT and service charge.”
Tae-jung, who tried to ask back at the higher-than-expected rate, changed her mind and held out her card.
It was because it was not such an unreasonable amount for his income level.
After receiving the card key, he took the elevator and got off on the 17th floor to find a room.
Still a luxurious atmosphere.
As he turned the corner along the hallway, a small living room and a glass-fronted window greeted him coolly.
“Wow… … .”
The beautiful night view of the city through the window made Tae-jeong unable to move for a while.
A feast of infinite emotion that heals you just by looking at it.
It was just one room, but the room itself made him feel like he was being treated.
‘Because I have money, I come to a place like this.’
After staring out the window for a while, he nodded as if he had made up his mind.
‘okay. It’s just one life anyway It’s okay to become a Hunter, let’s not live in the middle of nowhere anymore. Buy a luxurious house, buy a nice car, and do good things that everyone else does, and live like that.’
It was Tae-jeong who was determined to earn more money.

Hallasan Guild Headquarters.
Guild leader Lee Han was receiving a report from the scout captain.
“As you can see from the files, our scouting party was tracking a suspicious human based on a tip from the Rocky Mountains recently. As a result of deducing all the situations in the dungeon at the time, I judged that it was not an ordinary hunter, and released a large number of scouts at the gate he could go to. And fortunately, I think I finally found the human that I think he was.”
Reconnaissance leader Cha Min-soo explained, and guild leader Lee Han, who was sitting in the upper seat, looked down at the file and asked.
“You didn’t even report to me while this was going on.”
“sorry. Since I only had a heart attack, I needed more solid evidence.”
“Anyway, that’s what I mean?”
“That’s right. In our judgment, the hidden class is certain. It is highly likely that it is an ultra-rare species that has never been known before.”
“It is a very rare species. But aren’t all the photos here general photos? How can you be sure of that?”
“It was such a fleeting moment that we couldn’t secure a photo, but our subordinates said that they were wearing something like a machine.”
“machine?”
“Yes. The moment I tried to capture it on camera, they said it disappeared without a trace. This must mean that the probability of it being a skill is high.”
“Well. It’s a mechanical skill. So, is this right now at the Myeongdo Hotel we run?”
“Yes, guild leader. Now what?”
“If what you’re saying is true, you’ll have to bring it in unconditionally. It will be a blessing that the guild has no more.”
“Then I will contact you tonight.”
“In case you don’t know, you go yourself. If the opponent is Hidden, no matter how recently Awoken you are, you never know what variables will arise.”
“All right. But if you refuse even one thing, what will you do then?”
“Is there a separate guild?”
“Nothing has been investigated.”
“Then take me by force. It’s just a matter of putting it down and then gradually persuading it.”
“All right.”
Meanwhile, somewhere else, some kind of plan was going on.
“okay? Where is it?”
“This is the Myeongdo Hotel in Hallasan.”
“Hallasan Myeongdora. After all, it’s their territory. Do you guys know about this?”
“You wouldn’t know. So, there is no response as of yet. If they knew, it was hidden, but would they have left it alone?”
“Then I’ll have to take him out soon.”
“I will go there myself.”
“Wouldn’t it be embarrassing? Your face has already been sold over there.”
“Myeongdo Hotel is managed by Hallasan, but it is a private hotel anyway. The resident hunters are few and far between. And it would be easier to convince him if he had a person of some level.”
“What would you do if you used your hand first from the other side, even if it was only a chance?”
“At that time, you’ll have to take it by force.”
“Do you have yourself?”
“Don’t you know my skills? Those from Hallasan are no match for me.”
“okay. Then I’ll trust you Bring it with you, please.”
“Yes.”
