Episode 100
Chapter 100. The Most Epic Money-Burning Stream Ever,,
And so.
Riiiiip─!
Without any hesitation, Kang Hoon tore the Universal Skill Book in half.
And consumed it right on the spot!
【 You have acquired Universal Skill: Perception (Passive)! 】
“!”
Soon after,
Sheets of paper poured out from the torn skill book─
Flutter flutter.
They began flying around Kang Hoon like white birds.
On the fluttering paper wings were written characters not of this world.
And wasn’t a brilliant light spreading out from Kang Hoon as the center, or more precisely, from his two eyes?
Whoooosh──!
In the blink of an eye.
The birds that had been fluttering their paper wings suddenly dove into the mass of light.
The incredibly bright light also faded away, and they returned to the usual workshop.
Moreover.
Even the skill book that had been in Kang Hoon’s hands had completely disappeared without a trace.
“Hmm? Is that all? The skill acquisition visual is more underwhelming than I thought.”
Given the amount of money involved, he had expected something more flashy and special, even turning on the stream for it.
‘Since I was spending money anyway, I thought it would be really pretty and wanted to watch it together.’
Park Kang-hoon.
He was the ‘Mad Artist’.
The ‘Mad Artist’ who publicly burned 200 billion just because he thought it would be pretty and wanted to watch it together.
However, just like a certain mustached Demon King from the German Empire.
Compared to the ‘Mad Tax Accountant’, ‘Mad Lawyer’, and ‘Mad Doctor’, the most terrifying profession of all was none other than.
The ‘Mad Artist’.
As human history itself proves.
Our ‘Mad Artist’.
Park Kang-hoon simply clicked his tongue in distaste for the sole reason that the effects were modest(?).
“It’s better than a +1 Enhancement effect, I suppose. But it feels just so-so compared to a +3 Enhancement success effect. I guess it would look pretty mediocre to everyone else too….”
[Insane]
The chat window filled with ordinary people exploded like crazy.
[Crazy crazy crazy insane]
[Is this what it’s like from a Hunter’s perspective]
[Wow]
[More precisely, from a filthy rich Hunter’s perspective!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Wow,,amazing,,,,,,,]
[They say movie CGI can’t keep up with reality]
[You live seeing stuff like this every day?]
────────!!!
To their eyes, it looked as if Kang Hoon had received some kind of divine blessing.
No,
In a way, the sight of paper birds being absorbed into his eyes looked like cosmic horror.
A sacred yet eerie appearance.
In that moment, it looked as if Kang Hoon had become a god!
People were busy chattering among themselves and marveling at what they had witnessed.
[The Universal Skill Book that Rice Country briefly revealed before was less flashy than this]
[What Park Kang-hoon used was much more spectacular]
[Does that mean it’s a more amazing skill???????? Just something like Perception????????]
[Don’t know.]
[But it’s true that it was more flashy and seemed more special somehow]
[So Park Kang-hoon brings such amazing stuff in a worn-out E-Mart Eco Bag and just tears it up?]
[Hahahahahahaha they say there’s no artist who’s actually sane hahahahaha]
[Just how flashy are the things Park Kang-hoon usually sees that he’s disappointed by this? This was an insanely cool effect though?]
It was a chat window with 20,000 people all pouring out their own thoughts.
One thing,
If there was something different─
Now Kang Hoon could read all of that incredibly fast chat completely.
As if performing Instant Capture.
“Yes. I do see stuff like this every day though.”
He naturally responded to one line of chat that caught his eye.
[??????Did you just answer what I said?]
“Yes. ‘If You Give Up Life Only Weapons’ sir. Your username caught my eye.”
Once he recognized it.
Among the thousands of chats pouring down like a waterfall.
Only ‘If You Give Up Life Only Weapons”s chat naturally entered his vision.
[But..there are so many chats like this,,]
[How do you keep answering?]
[When do you have time to read usernames]
[Is this that ‘Perception’ thing?]
[Wow, you could see flying bullets with your eyes too.]
“Everyone suddenly became polite?”
Then, Kang Hoon himself tilted his head in confusion.
“Hmm? That’s right. Now it seems like only the text I want to see clearly stands out…. Does Dynamic Visual Acuity also get faster when Perception increases? I didn’t know this since it wasn’t even in the training curriculum.”
[We didn’t know either ㅇㅇ]
[Information is money, so the guilds that figured it out are probably just keeping their mouths shut]
[Or maybe the skill book Kang-hoon Hyung just tore open was special… The effects were very different from other Universal Skill Books posted overseas, right?]
[But he said he didn’t know that]
[He didn’t know but still dropped tens or hundreds of billions and just bought it?]
“Because it feels right.”
[He’s throwing tens or hundreds of billions just because it feels right..?]
[What kind of beast’s heart is this]
[Being an Enhancement Specialist is inevitable,, he manifested well according to his aptitude]
The viewer count rose even higher, surpassing 20,000.
Even Scouters trying to recruit Kang Hoon appeared in the chat window.
It was chaos itself, to the point where even those who posted comments couldn’t see their own messages.
But even though it was the same screen, it only looked slow to Kang Hoon’s eyes.
“Oh ho. Is this the effect of the Perception passive skill?”
Somehow, he had immediately verified his ability through the live broadcast.
“I didn’t know Instant Capture would be possible to this extent.”
That meant.
Far beyond what Kang Hoon had initially expected of simply being better at judging item values.
──Didn’t this mean it would be tremendously helpful in combat situations too?!
[Why don’t they tell us about stuff like this?]
[Whether the ‘Perception’ skill itself is amazing,, or as some people speculate, there are uniquely special ones even among Universal Skill Books of the same grade,, shouldn’t the system display this information,,?]
[For real.]
[Why is this so inconvenient?]
[Information that doesn’t even show up in appraisals is too much of a gamble, isn’t it?]
Everyone complained, but Kang Hoon just accepted it.
‘Isn’t that how system windows originally are?’
From the very beginning when he enhanced the Germanium Jade Bracelet.
Kang Hoon had realized that the system never tells you everything.
『Enhancement』 where options are determined by what people believe to be common sense.
『Repair』 that once enhancement succeeds, returns anything to its optimal and original state.
『Destruction』 that allows you to inevitably break any object by making enhancement fail, as long as it can be enhanced───
‘The system tells only facts, but conversely, it doesn’t tell you all the information.’
Judgment is entirely the Hunter’s responsibility.
Since Kang Hoon knew this fact better than anyone.
Rather than complaining, he was happy about his current good fortune.
‘This means I can see even the fastest attacks in slow motion if I want to?!’
Just like the masters in Kang Hoon’s favorite Hong Kong martial arts movie series 【Ip Man】 or 【The Grandmaster】!
“Ooh! It’s the eyes of a Wing Chun master!!”
At this unexpected harvest, Kang Hoon shouted with joy.
[?]
[??]
[?]
[What spring rolls???]
[Spring rolls are fried food]
Of course, the viewers didn’t understand what he meant and just spammed question marks.
Don’t young people these days not know about Ip Man or Bruce Lee?
Now it’s a term remembered only by those who are a bit older, enthusiasts, or a very small number of crazy art students like Kang Hoon.
“Heh heh heh…!”
What mattered was that Kang Hoon’s eyes had become incredibly sharp.
Sharp enough for him to recognize them as the eyes of a martial arts master!
And he thought.
He was glad to have purchased all these skill books, and.
────He was glad to have trusted his ‘intuition’!
“This skill might actually be a hidden overpowered skill.”
With just the first try, Kang Hoon’s confidence grew even stronger.
[Ooooh]
[555555]
[His eyesight suddenly became like a Mongolian eagle]
[Don’t know what it is but amazing~ hehe]
[Now he can’t ignore furry chats lol]
[He’ll ignore those just fine even if he sees them.]
Even the viewers who initially ignored the skill book’s mediocre options.
Got excited along with the effects and quick results they’d never see in their lives!
Riding the momentum,
Kang Hoon grabbed the second and third Universal Skill Books in both hands─
“Now that I can see, I should also learn to dodge and counterattack, right?”
He began tearing them all at once!
“Here we go! Agility Enhancement and Strength Enhancement skills!”
Zzzzuuuuk!
Zzzzuuuuk─!
The blue light of the Agility Enhancement skill book.
The red light of the Strength Enhancement skill combined together.
Centered around Kang Hoon, they began drawing a yin-yang symbol!
The magical pages fluttering and flapping rapidly.
Watching all this scenery through Kang Hoon’s perspective.
The viewers’ reactions changed instantly.
[Epic money-burning broadcast..]
…they said.
* * *
Meanwhile.
There was an airplane departing from the United States, rapidly crossing the North Pacific Ocean─
Whoooooooong!
It was a private jet of nearly complete darkness, jet black in color.
Though it was a famous private jet known as ‘the blackest airplane in the world,’ its owner actually doesn’t like black.
But there’s no choice.
“Well, this material is the most solid and lightweight.”
The owner of this private jet is a Magical Engineer who values only practicality above all.
──Since it’s ‘Seo Mi-do’.
“I made it into the safest and fastest airplane by mixing carbon fiber with magic stones and even Night Onyx.”
A world-leading expert in magical engineering and a natural-born genius brain.
Since she personally designed and developed this private jet, she was confident in its speed.
Even so.
“If I knew it would be like this, I should have made a fighter jet from the beginning.”
Today was particularly unsatisfactory.
Her homeland and home country, the Republic of Korea.
Seoul.
She was on her way to see the genius Enhancement Specialist, Park Kang-hoon, who had appeared there like a divine being!
And.
“It’s fascinating. If he only had Enhancement Skills, he wouldn’t have been able to revive the Golem. Could it be that he’s already vaguely sensed the hidden effects and synergistic interactions between skills at that level?”
This was the method that top-tier guilds cautiously taught their newcomers.
Even so, properly teaching it was realistically impossible—
‘Since the hidden elements differ for each profession, even if you try to focus on nurturing them, it inevitably becomes complex.’
There were more Hunters who never knew what was hidden in their profession until they died.
Even though the Pure Guild was treating Kang Hoon foolishly well.
‘Korea is a small country.’
That is,
She meant territory, not national power.
Information obtained by exploring countless Gates like stars in the vast land of America—
And information obtained by exploring a few Gates in Korea’s narrow land.
The two were bound to differ in quantity and quality.
This was why America, Russia, China, India, and the EU could accumulate more Gate-related technology.
───Countries with smaller territories were bound to become more disadvantaged.
In the ruthless competitive society between nations, Seo Mi-do’s brilliant mind had already found the answer.
‘The possibility that he realized it on his own… is high.’
If that’s the case—
She had to obtain him by any means necessary.
“Originally, the Golem was the objective, but…”
Perhaps.
She thought the real treasure might lie in ‘Park Kang-hoon’ himself.
