His observation skills were truly amazing.

‘It is worthwhile to spend money.’

Jung Daesik sang his hum and stared at the infernal beast who was in the midst of confronting them.

It gurgled and vomited flames, but was tied to a wire and couldn’t move.

Above his head, something he had never seen before opened his eyes.

It was like displaying the status of a game.

It was possible to check how many lives were left in real time.

Not only that, concentrating the consciousness allowed us to see more details.

You can check the description of the monster, as well as its weaknesses and strategies, so the only thing that came out was that it was a complete jackpot.

‘How can such a good skill cost only 10 million won? If you add up the cost of psychic enlightenment, it’s 20 million won! Cheap, cheap!’

Jung Daesik exclaimed, sprinkling with divine reinforcement.

He said, “Not long left! I’ll be down soon!”

As soon as the words were finished, the Wandil’s attacks were concentrated on the foreheads of the beasts of hell.

Soon, the life force of the Fel Beasts fell rapidly, and eventually it was completely exhausted.

Then, the status indicator floating above the hellbeast’s head disappeared.

At the same time, the Hell Beast let out a long cry and fell to the floor.

“Oooh-”

thud!

“dead!”

“Ugh, it’s over!”

While everyone exhaled a sigh of relief and cheers, Seok Woo-won did not forget to praise Jung Daesik.

“Okay, that’s amazing! The buff is superior! The feeling I felt last time wasn’t just an illusion!”

At the same time, the other party members could not help but admire.

“Every time you get a full enhancement, the attacks come together… Wasn’t that a joke?”

“Really kills! Best, admit it!”

Everyone raised their thumbs and praised Jung Daesik, so it was a bit embarrassing.

Jung Daesik scratched his chin and told him to call a porter.

Seok Woo-won, who nodded his head at those words, urged the rearrangement.

“Dress in a burnt area, tell me if anyone is injured. I’ll give you a potion. Take a break and move on. After you get out of this area and have a light meal, spray fire resistance with a scroll and let’s hunt again. Everyone, okay?”

“Sure!”

“It’s still lively!”

“Are you going to make a lot of money today?”

Everyone giggled happily, cleaned up the situation and moved on.

Then we took a break and ate in a relatively safe passage.

Then they set off to find their next prey.

Even while walking in search of a dangerous hellbeast, the party members continued to chat.

It was fun to reflect on the hunt just before.

“Hell Beast, isn’t it amazing to open your mouth?”

“I did something or something because I was breathing fire from my body, but nothing happened?”

“If you have fire resistance, it’s good enough to hunt.”

“But when everyone said he was a hellish beast, they trembled.”

“I guess it’s because I’m afraid of levers.”

“No, that’s how strong we are. It’s thanks to Jung Daesik’s buff, huh.”

Everyone was talking like that, so Seok Woo-won frowned and warned.

“Shut up. Now we’re hunting for prey. We’re not withdrawing. Calm down!”

At his words, the crowd became quiet, and the party moved into silence.

After that, the party entered Section F.

Since the terrain is rather high and low, he was walking carefully at his feet, and Seok Woo-won, who was going ahead, raised his hand.

At that hand signal, they all stopped their feet and held their breath, and he pointed downwards.

A certain hellish beast was crouching there.

All in all, the location was perfect.

It was a fairly effective preemptive attack.

When dealing with monsters, a preemptive attack was very important.

If the preemptive attack succeeded, it was safe to say that half of the hunt was over, so the dealers loaded their weapons all at once without any command.

If Seok Woo-won’s instructions were given, he would immediately launch a preemptive attack.

Jung Daesik also prepared an automatic rifle.

And while aiming at the Hell Beast, I made an observation without thinking.

It’s a skill that I’ve only recently acquired, so I opened the detailed information out of curiosity.

Then his eyes lit up.

That moment.

Seok-woo-won tried to lower his hand, which he was holding over his head.

Jung Daesik raised his voice without realizing it.

“Wait a minute!”

At those words, the other party members got fed up and lowered their bodies.

Seok Woo-won was also startled and grabbed him.

And then he forced himself to lie down and whispered, revealing his teeth.

“What are you doing! There’s no point in a preemptive strike if he notices!”

Jung Daesik said, putting away his hand pressing down on the nape of his neck.

“You can’t attack.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You just have to pass.”

“Why leave such a good opportunity behind…”

“That guy is a female, if you do something wrong, you’ll all die!”

Seok Woo-won paused at Jung Daesik’s words.

He soon frowned and said.

“How do you know that?”

Jung Daesik was speechless at his question.

On the surface, the hellbeast could not distinguish male and female at all.

Thanks to him, he had no words to describe him.

No plausible excuses could come to mind, so Jung Daesik insisted.

“I just know.”

“Don’t give a rough answer, explain it properly!”

“I have no words to explain! But it’s clear, that’s a female. You just have to get past it! You’ll regret it if you attacked. I assure you.”

“… On what basis do you believe that statement and miss out on this great opportunity?”

“There’s no need to preemptively attack. If you’re a hellbeast, you can hunt as many as you want. So just pass by. Trust me and do it. I don’t want to die in a place like this.”

Hearing Jung Daesik revealing his teeth, Seok Woo-won ruffled his hair.

“Ha, I’m going crazy.”

The party members who watched the two of them wrestle looked at each other.

Then, thinking that the time had already passed, Seok Woo-won gave the order to retreat.

” Jung Daesik, there is no bottom and no end, but for now, I will believe in you. Back down.”

Be careful, the party members held their breath and escaped from the place so that the hellbeasts wouldn’t notice.

* * *

Even though I passed one hell beast because of Jung Daesik, there was another hell beast.

Thanks to Jung Daesik, the Hell Beast was easily defeated, and another one appeared one after another.

A rather dangerous situation occurred, but as a result, he was able to catch three hellish beasts and withdraw.

As a result, the total income earned was 350 million won!

Jung Daesik was settled for 105 million won.

It was quite a lot for the money he earned at one time of hunting.

It was a huge amount considering that it wasn’t as dangerous as the last time we caught Cerberus.

Jung Daesik, who checked the deposit history, said to Seok Woo-won, who said hello, that he did a good job.

“…It’s okay if it’s not 30%. I just sent one hellish beast because of me today.”

To be honest, I had no intention of taking my share away.

I thought it was obvious that Seok Woo-won would say that he was the one who said it, so he said it politely.

Not surprisingly, Seok Woo-won burst out laughing at Jung Daesik, who was thinking about himself.

“You don’t have to. Even if you missed one hellbeast, it didn’t matter in the end. In a way, we might all owe you our lives. If he really was a female.”

“is it.”Jung Daesik forcibly swallowed the leaking laughter when he said he could take all 30% with him.

Then, after hearing Seok Woo-won’s words one after another, I was terrified.

“I don’t know how you figured out that the fel beast was a female, but you probably didn’t say anything nonsense in that situation.”

“…Thank you for trusting me.”

“If we are to continue to be together in the future, shouldn’t we have this level of trust?”

Seok Woo-won patted Jung Daesik on the shoulder, saying that we’ll see each other again.

However, Jung Daesik’s feelings left behind were completely different from his intentions.

‘I’m embarrassed because there is no way to talk about the observation skill.’

He went to the bank and cleared his account.

And he went to eat and fell in thought.

‘There is no guarantee that such a situation will not happen in the future.’

He didn’t know if it would have been better to talk about growing mental abilities.

If you tell him that he has two abilities, he’ll get paid more.

But no matter how much I thought about it, other people thought it was strange.

Even though he has a short career as a hunter, let’s say he has a skill level beyond 7th grade.

As long as you can handle two positions, one deal and buffer, you can somehow get past it.

That’s because it comes from his ability to strengthen.

However, it was too much to say that he was equipped with mental abilities.

‘If it’s someone you don’t know, that’s fine. In the case of Seok Woo-won, I clearly know that my ability is Ganghwa. If I say here that he even has psychic abilities, I’m sure you’ll be very surprised. I don’t know if he’ll be happy because he sees me in a good way, but in the corner of his heart he’ll think it’s weird. It would be strange even if he had newly acquired spiritual powers, and it would be strange even if he had hidden those abilities.”

As a result, in order to fully show off his abilities, he had to not be with Seok Woo-won.

He had to hide his abilities in moderation by finding a new maknae each time, or rather solo.

‘Still, it’s hard to ignore the fact that you give me a big share.’

After thinking for a while, Jung Daesik made a decision.

‘Yeah, in the future, even if there is a similar situation in the future, let’s not say anything hasty. It’s better to break the colic than to live with other people’s resentment. And although I was going to reject it anyway, I have to turn down Seok Woo-won’s offer to join the raid. I’m only going with you while I’m giving you 30% of my share.’

With that in mind, the next time Seok Woo-won received a hunting offer from him, he did not hesitate.

He agreed without hesitation, and from then on, Jung Daesik’s participation in his hunting became natural.

Seok Woo-won spent the schedule without asking whether he would go or not, and Jung Daesik did not say anything, but went out to the gathering place and went hunting together.

Hunting with Seok Woo-won’s party was quite stable.

Seok Woo-won was a conservative, and that fit perfectly with Jung Daesik’s standards.

He had no intention of risking his life to hunt no matter how much money he had, so he liked Seok Woo-won’s way of not doing anything unreasonable.

Rather, he properly restrained Jung Daesik, who is passionate about hunting because he wants to make money.

The reason Seok Woo-won puts safety first was also to create an attack squad.

The party members with him now were hunters who had built relationships with one or two people walking around the makgong for a long time. So Seok Woo-won regarded them as precious, and gave them enough consideration so that he could build up his skills and experience.

Jung Daesik also received help in various ways, and it was at a level where I thought it would be enough to do a solo.

However, Seok Woo-won was still waiting to hear an answer, and he didn’t mean to make a raid right away, so he stayed there.

It was quite savory to get a 30% share, no matter what.

“You did a great job today too! Your hard work has been put into your account, so check it out.”
