Episode 120
Chapter 120. [Career Counselor]
Even after clearing two dungeons, the experience potions that hadn’t moved much.
Began rushing in like a receding tide.
“!”
Moreover, that speed was─
“Fast!”
────Ding!!
【 LV.40 Enhancement Specialist 】
Finally!
He had overcome the difficult tens digit barrier! The wall of level 40.
“Ohh…! Wahhh!”
His joy at the achievement was brief.
Tap, tap tap, tap, tap, tap─
Even above the level 40 experience bar, the blue liquid continued racing without stopping.
“Oh! Is this an achievement effect?!”
The result of receiving the Boss Monster’s sincere surrender.
The doubled experience pouring in exceeded Kang Hoon’s expectations.
“!”
──────Ding!!!
【 LV.41 Enhancement Specialist 】
“…I, I did it!”
He had achieved an additional level beyond what he had targeted!
And even.
Splash, splash~
He had comfortably left some experience remaining.
In his joy, Kang Hoon burst into laughter right where he stood.
“Ah, wait! Then I can’t enter this level 40 and below dungeon again, right?”
…Please never come back again!
Even while feeling the hornets’ screams.
“I was going to go in one more time to try out the items… What a shame.”
In Kang Hoon’s hands as he spoke, the brilliant [Sting Queen’s Crown] sparkled and gleamed.
“Kuhehe~! Still, leveling up is much better! Right, Lucky, Alba?!”
– Kyawung!
– Yes, Master! Sincere congratulations!
– Annihilate, annihilate, annihilate!!
“Uhahahat! Thanks! …And I should ask to input some other language into the Annihilation Robots!”
He joked like that and burst into laughter at his own words.
Lucky and Alba were also enjoying the happiness following Kang Hoon.
Sniff….
Belatedly, Kang Hoon realized.
From their heads to their toes, even from inside their mouths.
The terrible smell of honey water made from pickled corpses that had wafted through the dungeon.
“…Shall we go home and wash up now?”
Covered in rust-colored liquid(?), Lucky and Alba nodded their heads.
– Heck….
– Yes, Master….
* * *
The five thoroughly filthy Annihilation Robots were first taken to the research lab in Goman-dong.
As soon as she saw her inventions in tatters, Seo Mi-do came hopping out angrily using her mechanical arms.
“What?! Who is it! Which rotten bastard made my Golem Robots look like rags… Ah!”
It was the Enhancement Specialist.
Seo Mi-do’s benefactor….
No matter how much of a troublemaker she was, she couldn’t dare lose her temper in front of the Enhancement Specialist.
Clasping her small hands together, she spoke politely.
“…You can just leave the Golem Robots. I’ll repair them all!”
In a clear voice.
Her smile was also kind and friendly as always.
However.
Only her mechanical arms were slowly backing away.
“….”
Awkward silence.
Kang Hoon thought.
‘Hmm…. Is my smell that terrible?’
Still, The Man didn’t care.
The terrible stench emanating from his whole body.
‘This is the smell of success!’
Originally, isn’t it natural for a man to have such smells from battle!
The reason Kang Hoon was hurrying home right now was absolutely not because he was embarrassed.
* * *
Thus.
As soon as he returned home using [Homing Instinct], Kang Hoon plunged his body into the warm bathtub.
Since it was his first proper bath in four whole days, he filled the large bathtub to the brim with water.
“….”
He immediately regretted it.
Following Kang Hoon, Alba switched to ‘Human Mode’, and Lucky came in too─
Splaaaaaash!!
More than half the water filling the bathtub overflowed.
“Uha, ahahat~!”
Fortunately, he had some Nourish Bath Salts left that Seri had given him, so he used ‘Enhancement’.
“Enhancement, Enhancement, Enhancement.”
Something like this.
He had become a professional Enhancement Specialist for whom enhancing ordinary objects was easier than breathing.
The [Nourish Bath Salt +3] that instantly became a +3 Enhanced Item showed off!
* [100% removal of external odors and bacteria from user] * [Immediate recovery of user’s stamina] * [User’s mana recovery 5% per second]
──It was truly a fantastic three-combo!
“Whoa!”
Even so.
“The options came out too well, didn’t they? This would sell for more than most alchemist potions. How much would it be worth?”
…His penny-pinching nature just wouldn’t leave him!
Even though he had become a millionaire, no…. now a ‘trillion-aire’ with assets worth 1 trillion.
Park Kang-hoon was the type to think about selling first whenever something seemed profitable.
“Ah~! Still, I’ve been working hard for several days, so there should be days when I just use this much on myself.”
Fortunately, these days he recognized that his ‘body’ was his greatest asset.
Therefore.
Splash~!
As soon as he generously poured in the [Nourish Bath Salt +3].
“Kyahaaaaaa!”
From the vitality surging up from below his body, admiration naturally leaked out of his mouth!
-Kihyuuuuuung~!
-Ah, this feels good, Master!
Sitting around together in one bathtub, the three people(?) had completely relaxed.
“Huuuuuu…!”
While pleasantly rinsing his face with the warm water, Kang Hoon waved his hand in the air.
“Good, shall we organize things a bit now?”
【 ‘Enhancement Specialist Who Enhances Well’ LV.41 】
The status window he called up like that.
“Okay! Since I raised my level to 41, my daily skill casting count must have increased again!? Status window! Show me the skill casting count first.”
Kang Hoon prepared to rejoice and shouted confidently.
However.
【 ‘Enhancement Specialist Who Enhances Well’ Basic Skill : [Enhancement] – Can enhance any object. – Requirements: None – Limitations: 115 enhancements possible per day ( 003/115 ) 】
“…Wait a minute.”
Doubting his eyes, Kang Hoon asked.
“It was 115 times before the power-up, and it’s still 115 times?”
At this rate.
Wasn’t this no different from when he was level 32?
‘No wait. Even around level 22, wasn’t this level of enhancement possible?’
That was correct.
Narrowing his eyes, Kang Hoon spoke to the status window.
“Did you accidentally miss an update or something? Increase my enhancement count!”
…Though he spoke like a child asking for a promised gift.
【 The unique characteristics of ‘Enhancement Specialist Who Enhances Well’ cannot be changed. 】
The status window sent a kind response.
Of course.
“Being stuck at the awkward number of 115 is a characteristic?!”
…Whether that answer satisfied the Hunter was a separate matter.
At this point, Kang Hoon began to feel uneasy.
“I even went through dungeon runs to get stronger quickly…. Don’t tell me the ‘Enhancement Specialist’ job had a cap system?”
‘Cap system’.
It meant growth stopped the moment stats reached a certain value.
It was also called a ‘Hunter’s growth plate’.
Growth plate.
Contrary to the Hunter’s own will, there were often cases where growth unfortunately stopped.
It was said that many of those praised as ‘geniuses’ in the early days of awakening sadly fell into such cases.
“…No way.”
Feeling an inexplicable chill in the warm water.
Kang Hoon muttered quietly to himself.
“I reached level 41, and nothing new opened up?”
As soon as those words fell.
【 Congratulations! Your special skill has been added. 】
“…?”
The status window quickly changed its appearance.
【 Would you like to check your new special skill? 】
“…!!!!!”
Splash.
Kang Hoon instantly lost strength and sank up to his mouth in the shallow bathtub.
Then he jerked his upper body up and shouted.
“Status windooooow…!! Next time, open the best improvement first! Got it?!”
And he shouted.
“If this isn’t anything special either, you should know I’ll be disappointed. I really almost had a heart attack just now…!”
While making threats(?) that weren’t really threats.
“Open it, special skill!”
As soon as he shouted that.
Flash─!
What first entered Kang Hoon’s eyes was an already familiar passive skill.
[Four-Leaf Clover] : Passive skill unlocked when ‘Enhancement Specialist’ LV.15 is surpassed. * Guaranteed enhancement possible up to +3 enhancement. * Enhancement failure rate from +4 enhancement onward is reduced.
“Ah. Right, I got this one.”
Nodding his head, he slid his index finger through the air.
Slide─
The skill window moved like scrolling on a mobile phone.
A brand new special skill he’d never seen before greeted Kang Hoon!
“…What’s this?”
[Career Counselor] : Special skill unlocked when ‘Enhancement Specialist’ LV.40 is surpassed, grants attributes to magic items. * Can only be cast on items created through the basic skill ‘Enhancement’ * Attribute specification impossible, randomly granted * Can be cast once per week ( 0/1 )
“?”
Not readily understanding, Kang Hoon read and reread the skill description.
“What is this? Are these the ‘attributes’ I know about?”
When it comes to ‘attributes’─
They basically meant fire, water, grass, wind, and earth.
Items imbued with such ‘attributes’ are traded at high prices in the market, even if their grade is low.
Why?
‘Because their rarity is high.’
Naturally, if you’re a Hunter, especially a Dealer or Healer class that relies on ‘mana’, you have no choice but to depend on ‘attributes’.
The Dealer Hunter who had partied with Kang Hoon, Kang Min-su, used fire attribute spear attacks.
The Healer Hunter, Lee Hye-won, used light attribute healing magic.
“But even those two had no attributes on their items.”
While Hunters who use ‘attribute’ skills make up the majority of the Hunter population, the number of items imbued with ‘attributes’ is limited.
In the end.
You can name your price.
──Moreover, the price of ‘light’ and ‘darkness’ items classified as rare attributes?
“…From that point on, you can’t obtain them even with money.”
He continued his thoughts with clear eyes.
“Right now, I can randomly generate anything!”
No one knows what attribute will appear.
However,
Even fire attributes, which are relatively common, command tremendous prices.
As long as you generate one, it becomes money.
And if light or darkness appears?
Wow, just how high could the price go.
“That means…”
Finally.
Kang Hoon reached a judgment about the value of his new trait skill!
“────It’s an absolutely broken skill!!!!”
Swoooooosh!!
