Episode 98
98화. —-샤따올림—-
“…Feeling?”
It was the most honest answer he’d ever given.
Because of a ‘feeling.’
Just because his intuition told him to, and he felt like he had to buy it.
Something extremely personal that couldn’t be understood unless you became Park Kang-hoon and experienced it directly yourself.
“I see.”
Even so, Seri nodded and said this.
“Save up more money, Kang Hoon. When other Universal Skill Books hit the market, I’ll snatch them up for you.”
“!”
From today on, every Universal Skill Book in South Korea would pass through Kang Hoon’s hands.
Because Seri had decided it would be so.
Tremendous networking, tremendous ambition, tremendous kindness—that was Seri.
‘Wow. It was really lucky that I became friends with such a social butterfly like Seri!’
In truth.
To others, Seri was incredibly picky and difficult.
Her younger brother could vouch for that.
However, ‘Park Kang-hoon’ was the exception.
Park Kang-hoon had no idea that in front of him alone, she was always ‘kind Seri.’
“Thank you.”
Kang Hoon was simply grateful to her.
‘To think there’s someone who would do this much for me, a novice Hunter.’
‘I should treat the guild even better from now on.’
But then.
Seri, who always gave easy-to-understand explanations, suddenly asked an unexpected question.
“By the way, Kang Hoon. Does that ‘feeling’ of yours… apply to people too?”
“Huh?”
“For example, well… like me.”
“Hmm? What?”
“…I was wondering what kind of feeling you get from me, Kang Hoon!”
“…?”
What kind of random question was this?
Blink, blink.
Seri’s face as she said this looked the same as usual.
Large eyes, a nose like a mountain ridge.
Her snow-white skin was as calm as always.
Only her earlobes had turned red.
But since they were hidden behind her hair, Kang Hoon couldn’t see them.
Eventually.
Born to be forever single, Kang Hoon made a loud “Ah!” sound as if he’d realized something.
And answered confidently.
“Ah, my ‘intuition’ isn’t quite at that level yet.”
“…What?”
“People’s ‘Information Values’ show up as black boxes.”
“…?”
“So I don’t know yet!”
“…?!”
After throwing Seri into a state of panic with his honest answer.
‘As expected of Seri, she’s very sharp. To ask whether my intuition works on people too!’
Kang Hoon swept the Universal Skill Books into his bag with a very satisfied expression.
He had no idea.
That because of him, her younger brother Ji-seong would be pestered by his sister all day long.
‘What the heck is this black box that guys talk about?!’
…While being tormented by such questions until his ears were about to fall off.
* * *
Coming home is always enjoyable.
Especially when using the trait [Homing Instinct].
“I’m back.”
Creating his characteristic whirlwind, Kang Hoon arrived in his house’s living room.
He looked around and tilted his head in confusion.
“Huh?”
Alba and Lucky were nowhere to be seen.
After wandering around tilting his head for a moment.
“Hmm? Did they go for a walk?”
In the shoe cabinet, there was a set of extra large dog clothes and a necklace sized for Lucky’s minimized form.
Actually, Lucky was a very gentlemanly Spirit Dog, so a leash wasn’t necessary.
After all, it was just a leash made of polyester, nylon, biotan and such.
Lucky could end it all with a single stretch, even if you tied him up with real metal chains.
There was no way he could be controlled by mere synthetic fiber rope.
‘Still, people feel more at ease when I dress him up and put something like a necklace on him.’
These were items he’d bought to prevent annoying complaints—
“?”
They were still in their usual storage spot.
“Then they didn’t go far, I guess.”
Still, thanks to this, he learned something new.
“Could it be that [Homing Instinct] doesn’t necessarily bring Spirit Dogs and creations along unless I want them to?”
Testing whether his prediction was accurate was simple.
“Let’s see. While thinking that I want Alba and Lucky to come to me—”
He closed his eyes and concentrated.
He brought his hands together as if praying.
“[Homing Instinct]!!”
At the same time.
– ─────Kyu?!
– Master?
Familiar voices could be heard.
‘Success.’
Kang Hoon opened his eyes with a triumphant smile.
Lucky and Alba stood there with surprised expressions.
If there was something unusual.
“You guys… why do you look like that?”
Alba was wearing rubber gloves on both hands, and Lucky had a cleaning brush handle in his mouth.
– I was cleaning the bathroom connected to the workshop over there.
“Ah! So you moved from there to here.”
– Yes. Actually, I can clean much faster by myself. But Lucky insisted on getting praise too, so we were cleaning together.
“I see.”
Just a single word of praise. And some patting…
I really don’t understand why these guys like that so much.
As an ordinary earthling, I thought ‘…why?’ but it’s different for them.
For Lucky, he’s the benefactor who helped him escape the Spirit Realm where only endless, cold winter repeated day after day.
And Alba… needless to say.
Like a human suffering from sleep paralysis, unable to move any limbs, just serving as ‘dungeon interior’—
He was receiving infinite punishment of repeated resets.
Then his benefactor appeared and fixed him in an extraordinary way.
Originally.
He was an unrepairable object.
Alba never could have imagined that someone would appear who could break through that with the ‘Enhancement’ skill trait and fix him.
Lucky growled softly at Alba.
As if asking why he was tattling.
Though neither of them openly mentioned this fact, worried it might burden Kang Hoon—
It was perfectly natural for the two to compete to gain even a little more favor with Kang Hoon.
Because he was their benefactor.
Because they wanted to show themselves better and stay by his side.
– But, Master. Did you call for us?
“Ah!”
Finally,
Clap clap clap!
Kang Hoon clapped and said.
“I tested [Homing Instinct]! Good, it’s confirmed that your movements are determined by my intentions.”
A pleasant discovery.
The trait [Homing Instinct] also moves according to his will.
The two were also excited.
– Woof! Woof woof woof!
– Then we can always assist Master by his side!
Suddenly.
He remembered the high praise he heard from Victor Chan recently.
‘That might really be true. Really… it seems like my will is embedded in the items I enhance.’
Even his ‘house’!
– Congratulations, Master!
– Kyauuung~!!
As the golem and spirit dog clapped with stone hands and front paws in celebration.
Kang Hoon smiled and said.
“Then finish what you were doing! I’m going to do some streaming in the workshop.”
– Yes, Master. Will you be doing a drawing broadcast today as well?
“No. I have something else to do today.”
Saying that, Kang Hoon headed to the workshop carrying a heavy bag.
Though tilting their heads at those words.
Patter patter patter patter!
Following Lucky who ran off with a brush in his mouth, determined to get more praise.
– Don’t take all my credit!
Alba also hurried to clean.
The competition to become Master’s right hand continues!
And.
“I burned through almost all my cash assets, so there’s no reason I should enjoy it alone.”
Kang Hoon started his streaming broadcast with the clear eyes of a madman.
An incredible topic that no one had ever tried before.
Namely,
Opening 9 Common Skill Books.
───A broadcast burning about 200 billion won…!
* * *
『Does Park Kang-hoon really own a Dungeon-Produced Golem?』
The community had flared up once, but thanks to the Cheongjeong Guild’s media management team’s stubborn defense—
No malicious broadcasting company could get an interview with Park Kang-hoon.
Guild Master Cheong Jeong-kwon growled loudly, saying he wouldn’t tolerate any slander or speculation about their precious Hunter Park Kang-hoon.
Thanks to the media companies starting to exercise restraint.
After selling the items Park Kang-hoon had given them to handle.
As soon as he earned a small commission, Cheong Jeong-kwon spent that money.
To build a kind of ‘guild member (Park Kang-hoon) protection system’!
No one would have said anything if he used it for his own benefit.
But he chose to reinvest in protecting people.
Originally.
‘A proper guild should carefully nurture talented newbies. That’s what guilds do!’
…With catchphrases that sounded like something from 2000s MMORPGs.
He was naturally that kind of old-timer.
All the guild members followed him because he was that kind of person.
Thanks to that—
The topic quickly died down in internet communities.
In the mobile era, aren’t ‘modern people’ dopamine addicts who can’t wait even 3 hours for new news?
[But are the Primordial Duo really dating? Tank and support are both ranked 1st. If birds of a feather marry, their kids would be amazing too]
Bored users were starting to run wild.
└ Awakening has nothing to do with genetics. Read the basic notice posts before writing ㅉㅉ
└ Tank hyung and Healer noona are always together. Even now they went into a dungeon together?
└ All 13 Primordial members went together;
└ Coupling fans shut up, it’s annoying
└ They denied it themselves last year. Case closed.
└ ——–샤따내림———
[Honestly Power Man is somewhat overrated]
└ Did you draw aggro?
└ Your post reeks of jealousy
[Whoa Enhancement Specialist is doing a press conference, let’s watch together!!]
└Please recommend dinner menu. Kimchi stew vs udon
└ Ah
└ Fucking bastard
└ Just starve then
This place where posts that draw aggro with the same topics circulating every day are rampant.
The Hunter Community was as peaceful as usual.
And so, a newly posted thread from 2 minutes ago.
[What the hell is that crazy bastard Park Kang-hoon doing right now?]
This was also dismissed as aggro, and insulting comments poured in.
└ Hey. Watch your language. Calling him a crazy bastard.
└ These days PKH fans are increasing so you get reported if you talk carelessly. Making fun of him as Vitality Merchant is old news. Be careful;
└ Honestly can’t resist calling him Vitality Merchant
└ lololol agreed
Following the few normal users who gave ordinary warnings.
└ Who’s the Original Poster, I’m reporting you!!! Why are you insulting our hyung?!!?!? He’s our hyung who let go of my hand at the subway station 40 years ago!@!!!!
└See what I mean
└This bastard keeps adding to his backstory, so annoying
└Park Kang-hoon isn’t even 40 yet, what the hell are you talking about lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
A user claiming to be Kang Hoon’s lost younger brother also appeared, completely immersed in family roleplay.
The comment section eventually became a complete mess.
└No; that’s not it, Park Kang-hoon is streaming right now
The flustered Original Poster left a new comment, but.
└ Another press conference blah blah? lol
└ That’s already over
└ Boring
Only criticism treating it as nonsense aggro kept pouring in.
Judging that it was impossible to say anything new anymore─
The frustrated Original Poster created a new thread.
[Park Kang-hoon just suddenly started streaming saying he’s using 200 billion worth of Universal Skill Books111!!!!!!]
└?
└?
└Crazy bastard confirmed
