Episode 59
Chapter 59. [Citrine Bracelet of Purification and Healing +3] (3)
Full Set Equipment.
That represents the dignity of an Enhancement Specialist.
It could be called Park Kang-hoon’s protection.
Thanks to that protection, the poison had no effect whatsoever on the team members.
On the other hand.
“Gasp! Look at this, the cup is melting.”
The bottom of the cup, which was quite a special item, had somehow become mushy.
“Whoa, it really is. It’s ruined.”
“Isn’t that cup an item that can hold any existing poison?”
“That’s right. Which means… this poison swamp must be a new dungeon that’s never been discovered before?”
The youngest staff member shouted positively at that.
“Then this poison! We’re the first to discover it! Let’s collect it! Let’s name this new poison after Cheongjeong!”
“Wooooh!”
Just as they were building up enthusiasm.
Crack!
The sturdy magic item’s bottom crumbled and fell off.
Drip!
The poison that had been contained inside flowed out.
Sizzle!
Soon, leaving only the handle,
the entire cup melted away and disappeared.
“…”
The four people felt chills run down their spines.
If it weren’t for the set effect of the +3 grade enhanced equipment.
All four people in this dungeon would have died right now.
“Our lungs could have melted and been punctured. All of us…”
“We wouldn’t have even found the bodies. Just like this cup…”
The relief of having avoided a predetermined death.
At the end of that, all the team members’ noses tingled with emotion.
A single Enhancement Specialist.
Thanks to the grace bestowed by Park Kang-hoon, their fate had been reversed.
A fate of having their entire bodies melt in the poison swamp and being processed as missing.
Four people who couldn’t even return home as corpses.
But now the situation had become completely opposite.
They could return home where twin daughters were waiting,
They could share drinks and reminisce with colleagues,
And they could watch the next series of their favorite drama.
They were Hunters who had to be stronger than anyone.
However, the emotion that struck their hearts rather than physical impact.
“Sob!!”
Made them into crybabies.
“Sniff…!”
With tears welling up, they could only stare blankly at the cup with only its handle remaining.
After a silence to hold back tears, the youngest staff member shouted loudly.
“Amen! No, Kang-men! No, Hoon-men! Great virility merchant!! With gratitude toward Hunter Park Kang-hoon! This dungeon’s new poison! Named after our Enhancement Specialist, Mr. Park Kang-hoon!”
Then he pinched his nose shut with his thumb and index finger.
“For sample collection, I’ll safely carry the poison in my stomach!”
And he dove!
Splash-!!
Swatting away the poison droplets that splashed up ambitiously with their hands,
his colleagues secretly hid their tears.
And chuckled softly.
“That crazy bastard.”
“Our youngest has gone crazy from being so moved.”
“Well, that’s understandable. When else would we get to wear equipment like this.”
Bubble bubble.
Gulp gulp.
While the youngest staff member held his breath underwater, filling his stomach with the newly discovered poison.
The three Hunters grinned and looked at each other.
Soon the team leader shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Let’s tell our former swimmer youngest to start late.”
Pointing across the poison swamp with his thumb tip.
“Should we bet on who reaches the exit first?”
And without anyone going first,
they all threw themselves into the poison swamp at once.
“Whoever loses buys the beef!”
Shouting loud enough to fill the entire dungeon.
* * *
Meanwhile. [Park Kang-hoon’s House +5].
Kang Hoon was sprawled on the living room sofa, scratching his belly.
“Ugh. I’m dying after just one trip to the guild.”
It wasn’t because he was tired.
It was because all his prepared social energy had been depleted.
“I think I won’t need to go out for the next month.”
While scratching Lucky’s head vigorously.
He glanced at the clock and picked up the TV remote.
“I think it’s about time they returned from the dungeon?”
Being surrounded by many people
drained homebody Kang Hoon’s stamina completely.
But he was still curious whether they had safely completed their mission.
As an Enhancement Specialist, reviews of products he created were always welcome.
“Let’s see.”
The TV he turned on after a long time.
For some reason, even before finding a Hunter-specialized broadcast channel.
The ‘Apgujeong Guild War Status’ was already being broadcast live.
Even when he pressed the remote to change channels, it was the same.
With only slightly different camera angles,
Breaking news was being reported on every channel.
“Huh? Is a guild war really that big of a deal?”
Of course not.
There’s other news that’s drawing tremendous public attention.
– Viewers! Today at the guild war dungeon that occurred on Apgujeong-dong Boulevard in Seoul City, the ‘Cheongjeong’ guild cleared the ‘Slime’s Poison Swamp’ dungeon in 28 minutes and 59 seconds!
Beyond the large TV screen,
a white tent installed at the Gate exit was visible.
Having been to the ‘Slime’s Poison Swamp’, it appeared to be a facility for purifying the returning Hunters.
“Cleared in 28 minutes. Is that considered fast?”
Kang Hoon, who was clueless about guild wars, muttered to himself.
As soon as he said that, an excited reporter suddenly thrust their face forward.
– The ‘Cheongjeong’ guild! They’ve overwhelmingly surpassed the existing world ranking 1st place ‘Apex Circle’s’ record of 1 hour 3 minutes 8 seconds! They’ve claimed 1st place in individual guild war records!
Of course it was fast.
They had shortened the ranking 1st place guild’s record by 34 minutes and 9 seconds.
“…What?”
In the time it takes the existing 1st place guild to clear ‘Slime’s Poison Swamp’ once,
Cheongjeong equipped with items crafted by Kang Hoon could clear it twice and still have time left over.
Time enough to leisurely brew and sip a cup of coffee.
A more amazing record than expected!
“!!”
Kang Hoon moved the remote control.
He changed channels while gradually turning up the volume.
– Breaking news! ‘Cheongjeong’, which just entered South Korea’s top 10 rankings. In their first guild war participation, they’ve claimed world ranking 1st place!
– Due to ‘Cheongjeong’s’ overwhelming time reduction, the average clearing time for all guild wars has been drastically shortened!
– ‘Cheongjeong’ takes 1st place in guild war clearing records, and South Korea’s guild war completion record also rises from 13th to 2nd place!
The news screen was quite dynamic.
It was packed with countless people, reminiscent of World Cup cheering crowds.
All the advertisements that had filled the screens of tall buildings in Apgujeong had disappeared.
In their place, breaking news about ‘Cheongjeong’s’ new record was filling the space.
“Wow. The traffic congestion must be incredible. Good thing I came home early.”
While having such carefree thoughts,
Kang Hoon skimmed through the pouring breaking news.
“Anyway, our country’s people really love rankings.”
The Great Hunter Era.
Who in the entire world wouldn’t be like that, but
especially ‘guild wars’ were competitive just by the participating guilds themselves,
and also competitive by each country’s records.
Like today in the heart of Seoul City.
This was even more so if it was a Gate that occurred on Apgujeong Boulevard, perfect for receiving the world’s attention.
– Viewers! Right now! The Hunters of ‘Cheongjeong’ who have completed purification are showing themselves!
The camera moved quickly, filming the white temporary tent.
First, the Healer Hunters who were high-ranking government officials showed themselves.
As soon as they officially announced that all toxicity had been purified, the four team members could come outside.
When they went in, they had been thoroughly ignored.
Now they had become heroes who brought honor to the country.
Congratulations on your safe return!!
– Hunters! Please say a few words!
Faced with pouring interview requests, the four Hunters stood before the microphones.
“I thought it was some kind of bouquet.”
There were so many broadcasting station microphones wrapped tightly with tape.
Before the giant bouquet of microphones, the Hunters whose lives had been completely reversed in an instant.
They all had bright expressions.
Not hurt at all, completely fine from the poison.
“My enhancement worked well.”
Nod nod.
Confirming the effects of his ability with his own eyes, Kang Hoon was satisfied.
Just as he was about to press the remote button to find an animation channel.
– Thank you, Hunter Park Kang-hoon───!!
The four Hunters said in unison.
And then.
Bow!!
They bent their waists, bowing 90 degrees toward the camera.
The youngest even bent his body so vigorously that he hit his head on the microphone.
– Thunk.
Even the headbutting sound was broadcast live.
“Huh? …Did they just shout my name?”
Following Kang Hoon, Lucky also tilted his head in confusion.
– We didn’t do anything! Everything is thanks to Hunter Park Kang-hoon’s Enhancement Ability!
– Hunter Park Kang-hoon who provided us with detoxification equipment, each with a 4-piece set! No, Enhancement Specialist!!
– Thanks to him, the [Ten Thousand Poison Immunity] trait was activated!!
Following that, the youngest Hunter held up a glass bottle.
A glass bottle covered with dozens of talisman items.
Inside it, freshly expelled poison was sloshing around.
– This is a new poison that appeared for the first time in this dungeon!
At those words, the screen shook greatly.
───Discovery of a new poison!
While it was a tremendous scoop, it was also an object of fear.
Crash!
Worried that even a single drop might splash and cause infection,
reporters and onlookers instantly stepped back 5 meters.
This new poison was just officially certified by the government’s official Priest Team as having no known detoxification method!
– It’s very powerful and lethal, a poison that cannot be purified without [Ten Thousand Poison Immunity]. As such, we will name this poison after our benefactor who gave us [Ten Thousand Poison Immunity]! Hunter Park Kang-hoon!
– If it weren’t for Hunter Park Kang-hoon, we would have all died!
– Hunter Park Kang-hoon, we love you!!
The male Hunters shouting like that.
– Our lifesaver. Hunter Park Kang-hoon is not only the world’s only Enhancement Specialist, but truly the greatest Enhancement Specialist.
Tears were welling up in their eyes.
“No. Why are they even crying…”
A love confession he’d never received from a woman,
he ended up receiving from scruffy-haired Hunters.
And it was broadcast live and loudly through all three public broadcasting networks.
Everyone had become crying children, a crucible of emotion.
At this touching scene of four MBTI F types,
some onlookers also began wiping away tears.
The reporter broadcasting from the helicopter was the same.
– Ah! This is truly a touching moment. One Enhancement Specialist saved four guild members, and the reputation of our South Korea!
Kang Hoon himself could only scratch his cheek in bewilderment.
“No, no. Just because I did some enhancement… Is it really that big of a deal?”
– Kyaung?
While the atmosphere in [Park Kang-hoon’s House +5] was awkward,
the crowd at the heated scene.
Countless people instinctively knew.
The four Hunters standing before the reporters.
They would bark if Kang Hoon told them to bark, and bite if he told them to bite.
Moreover.
Those four people had simply crossed the starting line first.
Soon, not only all the Pure Guild members.
───But all Hunters who receive Park Kang-hoon’s Enhancement would become the same.
