Episode 65
Chapter 65. [Solarion’s Shield]
After safely setting down all the shields.
“Huff, huff…”
Even the large Worker was completely exhausted, staggering as he boarded the private jet again.
Along with them, the Green-eyed Secretary also climbed the stairs.
Then suddenly, he turned to look at Kang Hoon and asked a question.
“Do you have a company in mind that can safely transport all these shields?”
As a secretary, this whole situation was displeasing to him.
The ‘Victor Chan’ he served was a living legend.
A legendary Tank and hero.
‘Ha. To have to request such glorious enhancement for him… from such a small country.’
Moreover, this Enhancement Specialist named Park Kang-hoon.
‘According to the information we gathered, he even rejected a scout offer from the Pentagon?’
To kick away the opportunity to become American and enjoy honor with his own feet.
And what remained was just Korea.
And even that, a small guild called ‘Cheongjeong’!
For him, this was something he could neither understand nor accept.
Such inner thoughts manifested in his attitude.
Very crookedly.
“We’ll call our subcontractor for you, so please accept it. Don’t go through the trouble of moving them yourself. We can’t have the items scratched before they’re even enhanced.”
At this, Cheong Jeong-kwon’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The secretary maintained a courteous attitude on the surface.
However, his words were subtly putting down not only the Korean guild, Cheongjeong.
But also Park Kang-hoon who belonged to it.
‘What if you guys carelessly move them and damage our precious shields?’
Such implications were embedded like fish bones.
Even Kang Hoon, who was usually oblivious to others’ inner thoughts, could subtly feel it.
One step.
The moment Cheong Jeong-kwon approached him.
“It’s fine.”
Kang Hoon said.
“Just go quickly. I can just teleport them all.”
He said he would ‘teleport’ them.
It was something no one there had expected to hear.
Doubting his own ears, the secretary opened his eyes wide.
“Teleport… you say? Such an advanced skill, in Cheongjeong? No, is there really such an ability user in Korea?”
Then he started to come back down the stairs he had just climbed.
A teleport ability user!
If it was true, this was truly a coveted talent.
“Where? Where are they?”
The secretary looked around, scanning the surroundings.
Toward him, Kang Hoon gestured as if herding cattle with a ‘shoo shoo’ motion.
“Go quickly. You’re interfering with the transport.”
“…”
Eventually, the secretary boarded the private jet with an uncomfortable expression.
Even then, he seemed to hesitate for a few more minutes before finally leaving the airport.
* * *
After Apex Circle’s private jet disappeared.
On the wide gray ground, only Cheong Jeong-kwon with his hair all disheveled.
And Kang Hoon remained.
“Haha!”
Finding something so amusing, Cheong Jeong-kwon held his stomach and chuckled.
“That was quite surprising just now, Hunter Park Kang-hoon. To throw out such a bluff.”
“A bluff?”
“Saying you could teleport all of these. To mention an ability that doesn’t even exist. Now that secretary will have a hard time racking his brain as soon as he returns to America.”
While saying this, Cheong Jeong-kwon took out his mobile phone.
It was time to call the service company that specialized in handling magic items, which he had been dealing with for a long time.
To him, Kang Hoon said calmly.
“It’s not a bluff though?”
“Huh?”
Then he went in front of the huge shields lined up in a row and tried spreading his arms as wide as possible.
‘Let’s see.’
When he grabbed the tightly overlapped surfaces, stretching out to his fingertips.
About half of them were within his embrace.
“I’ll teleport this much first. Please watch over the rest, I’ll be back soon.”
“No. What are you talking about?”
“What do you mean what am I talking about. I’m talking about teleporting.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Kang Hoon said.
“It worked out well anyway since it’s most convenient to enhance in my workshop. I can only go back and forth to my house. I’m a homebody, you see.”
Soon he closed his eyes and loudly called out the special ability of [Park Kang-hoon’s House +5].
“[Homing Instinct]!”
Whiiiiik!
Following the strong wind stirred up by the private jet,
A cold wind swept fiercely across the airport.
Squinting his stinging eyes, Cheong Jeong-kwon tried hard to look ahead.
The suddenly risen wind began to swirl around Kang Hoon as the center.
Whioooooo-!!
The thread-like flow created by the wind.
It became a curtain, seeming to cover everything for a moment.
The one person called Kang Hoon who had been standing at the center.
And even the shields that had been in his grasp.
Instantly disappeared from where the whirlwind had stopped!
“!”
The flow of air ceased.
Where the wind had passed, with his hair slicked back like a cow had licked it.
Cheong Jeong-kwon was left alone.
“Wh, what is this…?”
And he just gaped in bewilderment.
“Te, teleporting them… was he really serious!”
Had Kang Hoon gained a new profession other than ‘Enhancement Specialist’?
‘No. That can’t be.’
‘Teleport’ is a special skill from a completely different class.
Since Kang Hoon had already awakened as an Enhancement Specialist, it wasn’t a skill he could obtain.
“Then how on earth did he gain such an ability…?”
Cheong Jeong-kwon quickly realized the answer.
“Don’t tell me… it’s a trait he gained through enhancement!!”
Enhancing the ‘Beginner’s Bow’ to gain ranged dealer abilities.
Enhancing the ‘Dog Whistle’ to gain summoner abilities.
Enhancing the ‘Citrine Bracelet’ to gain healer abilities.
And now, as if that wasn’t enough.
He enhanced his ‘Home’ to achieve teleportation!
“It sounds nice calling it enhancement, but this is… ability copying.”
The unique and unparalleled profession of ‘Enhancement Specialist’.
Perhaps it was an infinite profession that could possess any class abilities.
“Hunter Park Kang-hoon… just how far can he go?”
As he grows stronger.
His home base, the guild Cheongjeong, would also need to develop further.
The middle-aged period that others consider the twilight of a hunter’s career.
Cheong Jeong-kwon instinctively felt it.
His retirement was being postponed indefinitely.
* * *
[Homing Instinct].
Two trips were enough.
He moved all the remaining shields to Kang Hoon’s home workshop.
When he counted the shields precisely, there were twenty-seven of them.
Twenty-seven shields.
That was Kang Hoon’s homework.
The more closely he examined them, the more amazed he became.
Purely based on the value of a single shield alone,
it seemed like it would exceed the cost of a private jet and then some.
“They looked good, but this is incredible.”
The ‘Information Value’ he read with his fingertips was as follows.
[Solarion’s Shield]: The shield of Solarion, an angel-type monster. A shield imbued with the will to drive away darkness and restore order, it’s high-grade equipment with its own consciousness. If the user’s will goes against ‘order’, it will destroy itself. * [When attacking, increases user’s attack power by 5%] * [When an ally hides behind the shield using stealth, they are blocked from the sight of monsters level 50 and below]
Its description and options were quite unique.
For Kang Hoon, this was a type of item he had never seen before.
How should he put it.
“It’s incredibly altruistic?”
Should he say the shield itself was very kind?
“This is the first time I’ve seen an option that applies to ‘allies’ instead of the user.”
Was this why he was drawn to Victor Chan’s request?
He could understand why that man who was his secretary had been so on edge.
He was probably worried that his master might get scammed or something.
Usually, under such masters, having a chihuahua-like aide is the standard rule.
Curious, Kang Hoon asked the status window.
“Can I also see things like the item’s source?”
The status window then replied.
【 For items with opened ‘Information Value’, source confirmation is possible. 】
Kang Hoon immediately snapped his fingers.
“Show me!”
At the same time.
A new message opened as if it had been waiting.
[Solarion’s Shield] 【Acquisition as Reward】 Granted with a 0.98% probability from platinum grade or higher reward boxes. 【Acquisition through Hunting】 Obtainable when solo defeating Solarion, the level 78 dungeon boss.
But those conditions were much stricter than he had thought.
“The conditions are too hard, aren’t they? Can’t you just buy them with money?”
The status window quickly appeared in response.
As if snorting at Kang Hoon’s question.
【 Transfer to anyone other than the original acquirer is impossible, so no other sources exist. 】
Kang Hoon was genuinely impressed by this.
“Ooh!”
To purely obtain them as rewards, the probability was less than 1%.
There was no way twenty-seven items could have been acquired as rewards.
Which meant?
“It means he did infinite farming runs through hunting.”
A level 78 dungeon, no less,
not as a team but solo,
──he cleared it at least twenty-seven times?
Moreover.
It was two days ago that Kang Hoon had shown his intention to accept the request.
Not even 48 hours had passed.
“…That’s insane. Is this the power of an S-rank hunter?”
More than his strength, his persistence seemed even more amazing.
For two whole days without sleeping or eating.
He had fought with all his might, utilizing every minute and second.
With a single goal.
With the sole determination to entrust an enhancement request to Park Kang-hoon.
No wonder the chihuahua secretary was uncomfortable.
…The boss monster that had its shield stolen twenty-seven times was pitiful.
“Is that what you have to do to be called a legend?”
Well, ‘Victor Chan’ was that kind of person.
He awakened right after the gate collapse began and had been active for a long time.
‘I heard he was a world-class ranker in his prime.’
These days, he’s not publicly considered ‘active’, so he’s treated as outside the ranking.
Even so.
A first-generation ranker from the most difficult times.
His weight was different from rankers of today’s peaceful era.
“Well, this makes the work worthwhile?”
Placing his hands on his hips, Kang Hoon shrugged his shoulders.
The twenty-seven shields that had felt like unwanted homework.
Now they looked different to him.
“Then I have no choice either.”
With that, he extended his right hand into the air.
In his grasp, a massive Blacksmith’s Hammer was summoned in an instant.
“I’ll have to make a legend-grade shield worthy of a legend-grade tank.”
Whooom, whooom!
Wielding the [Hammer of Success and Failure], Kang Hoon smiled.
What Seri and Ji-seong had mentioned,
‘The moment when Park Kang-hoon is happiest’.
It was enhancement time.
* * *
The precious [Solarion’s Shield] that the legend tank customer had prepared.
He couldn’t just recklessly destroy that shield at the +5 enhancement stage.
That’s why the [Hammer of Success and Failure] was necessary.
Kang Hoon’s golden item that guaranteed success up to +5 enhancement!
“For that, I need items to stack 10 failure attempts.”
Therefore, Kang Hoon flipped the black bag upside down.
Clatter clatter clatter!
What poured out were
Citrine Bracelets purchased in bulk for 29,800 won each.
Wasn’t there a new poison discovered in dungeons?
He heard the process of naming that toxin after Kang Hoon was underway.
Taking the ‘Hoon’ character from Park Kang-hoon, they called it ‘Hoon-poison’.
And the only thing that could purify that poison would be Park Kang-hoon’s items.
There was plenty of value in mass-producing them endlessly.
To protect world peace and the lives of Hunters?
Of course, that was also good to do on the side.
──”A new business item!”
Because it would be profitable!
“Enhancement Specialist secret technique! ‘Making money while making money’!!”
