Episode 6

Munch munch.

-So… chomp chomp… we need to get 300 more goblin hides… chomp chomp… right?

The Primitive Humans mumbling with their mouths stuffed full of bread.

Had Hans also abandoned his dignity as a leader?

Like a squirrel, he had both cheeks packed full of fried rice.

“That’s right. As you heard earlier, we need 1,000 goblin hides. What do you think, can you do it?”

The story about goblin hides that Secretary Kim Yun-hyun had mentioned.

Choi Hyun-min had kept that in mind.

‘If I don’t help the family even at a time like this… that would make me truly ungrateful.’

Even though he had been holed up in his room training for years, his family was still supporting him.

In that case.

Shouldn’t a person repay their debts of gratitude?

This matter felt like a golden opportunity to Choi Hyun-min.

-Not… mumble mumble… a difficult task.

“Really?!”

Fortunately, the Primitive Humans waved their hands dismissively as if it was nothing.

But Choi Hyun-min felt somewhat uneasy.

-Master saw it too. Goblins are nothing to us, not even dust.

-Saw it. Like this, swoosh! Swoosh!

Had they seen his expression?

The guys were holding long celery stalks and mimicking spear thrusts.

But your weapons aren’t spears anymore, you know.

‘They suddenly changed from spears to bows… will that be possible?’

Spears and bows were weapons about a million light-years apart.

Naturally, bows required much more skill to master.

No matter how well those guys could handle spears.

Could they freely use bows they were handling for the first time?

No… before that-

‘Can they even shoot?’

The Primitive Humans had no idea they were being looked at with worried faces.

The guys were half-lying on the desk, patting their protruding bellies.

Pat. Pat.

-As expected of Master.

-Right. Master always gives us delicious food.

-Delicious food! Delicious food!

Weren’t you just eating until a moment ago?

Had they forgotten about lying down and patting their bellies?

The guys had bulging tadpole bellies and just kept raising and lowering their hands repeatedly.

-Ahem. Master… um… by any chance…

Then Hans, who had been coughing awkwardly from across the way.

He cautiously opened his mouth toward this direction.

“Why? Is there some problem?”

Hans was the leader of these guys.

He knew the other Primitive Humans well too, so if Hans said it couldn’t be done, it might really become difficult.

What was he trying to say?

He listened carefully to his words while slightly furrowing his brow.

-…is it possible?

“What’s possible?”

An expression that had become quite serious.

In contrast, Choi Hyun-min asked back at the mumbled pronunciation.

Then Hans, who had been hesitating for a while.

He spoke again with difficulty.

-The long meat we ate before…

“Long meat… Ah! You mean sausage?”

-Sau…sage. If we go and win, sausage… is it possible?

Ahh…

So that’s what they had liked?

“As much as you want. I can let you eat until your bellies burst.”

-Re, really?

-Bellies bursting… that sounds a bit scary.

-Don’t be stupid! It means eating that much!

-Is that so…

Well.

Those guys are Primitive Humans, so it would be their first time tasting processed meat.

-Ahem! Warriors! We fight for sau…sage… no, for Master!

-For sau…Master!

-Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

The moment permission was granted.

The Block Primitive Humans’ eyes sparkled like puppies in the dark.

Without even giving him time to say anything, they immediately rushed toward the Maze toy.

“…They’re fast.”

Well then…

Do I just need to prepare sausages?

***

“Ah, what’s with Basement 1st Floor all of a sudden? What level are you?”

Labyrinth Basement 1st Floor.

A place where those who had just awakened as Hunters hunted monsters for growth.

Most players only thought of it as a place to briefly pass through.

Level 30 Hunter, Yu Hee-jun.

He had been searching the entire 1st floor thoroughly since morning with his eyes wide open.

“Wait a minute. Just camping here for one day gets you money in the tens, right?”

Why was it?

Today especially, Basement 1st Floor was crawling with much higher level Hunters.

“What are you talking about? Who?”

“Didn’t you hear? The [Phoenix] Guild Union is planning to summon a ‘Golden Goblin’ soon.”

“Golden Goblin?!”

The Phoenix Guild Union, formed by dozens of guilds.

A mobilization order had been issued to Hunters belonging to the Phoenix Union since early morning.

The so-called Golden Goblin hunting operation.

“Each guild contributed thousands to buy sacrifices to summon the Golden Goblin. Today’s the day they’re summoning it.”

“Re, really?”

“Yeah! I don’t know the exact details either… but they say there’s a very high probability it’ll appear in the Dungeon Depths. So they put up a bounty for us to contact them immediately if we spot it.”

The Golden Goblin, a special monster.

The moment you catch it, you can obtain items worth hundreds of millions.

But since where it appears upon summoning is completely random.

The guild union had been deploying people early to monitor the entire Dungeon Upper Levels.

“How much do they pay?”

“Just for spotting it, they give 500, I heard?”

“500?! So that’s why everyone’s swarming here like this?!”

“Of course. People who could normally just go down into the maze wouldn’t be crazy enough to be doing this on the basement 1st floor.”

Everywhere he looked, there were only hunters, hunters, hunters.

And they were all hunters with similar levels to his own—

All high-level hunters who were way overqualified to be on the basement 1st floor.

Then something caught his eye.

“Huh…? What are those people?”

“Who?”

“Over there, those people. Don’t you see those people who look like primitive humans?”

It was a group of primitive humans.

Compared to the stylish armor worn by regular hunters, they wore shabby leather clothing.

Moreover, they held crude bows in their hands that looked like they were made from tree branches.

“You’re right. Did those people also come here because of the golden goblin?”

“Nah, probably not. They don’t look like hunters like us, right? Their equipment is a bit strange too.”

“Are they people going around with a primitive human concept?”

Naturally, attention was drawn to the primitive humans.

But could it be that they couldn’t even feel such gazes?

-Humans, many!

-Ugh! Ugh! Hunt faster!

-Sausage! Sausage! Must eat!

They were looking around here and there while spouting incomprehensible words.

Then—

Kirruk!

A single goblin appeared among the bustling crowd.

At that moment, the eyes of the strangely dressed primitive humans sparkled.

-Found it, sausage!

-Not sausage! Leather!

-Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Quickly tear it apart!

The guys simultaneously raised the bows they were holding.

From loading to aiming.

Unlike their crude appearance, their movements were very skilled.

‘Huh? Their archery stance is quite…’

A stance that flowed naturally as if it was one continuous motion from the beginning.

Pying!

Despite the considerable distance, the quickly shot arrow struck precisely in the center of the goblin’s forehead.

Kyaak!

‘One shot? They took down a goblin in one shot with that kind of bow?’

Hunter Yu Hee-jun, who had been quietly watching the scene.

He widened his eyes at the primitive human’s archery skills.

Was it simply a low-level hunter who came out hunting with a strange concept?

That’s what he thought.

‘No… Could it be that those people also came looking for the golden goblin? That strange outfit is to draw other people’s attention and distract them…’

No.

Their destructive power was definitely not that of low-level hunters.

When he slightly turned his head, he saw the same scene on the opposite side.

A single arrow.

Ting!

It looked like a casual shot, but it unfailingly penetrated the goblin’s forehead.

Another one-shot kill.

It was destructive power and accuracy that could never be called that of novice hunters.

“Hey, do you see that?”

“I was already watching… What the hell are those people?”

Hunter Park Min-soo.

Since he also used a bow, he was carefully observing the primitive humans’ actions.

“You use a bow too. How is it? From your perspective.”

“That… No matter how I look at it, they don’t seem like people who came to hunt goblins.”

“Is that level difficult?”

“No way! Even I, who’s over level 20, can’t kill a goblin in one shot!”

The primitive humans with bows.

Their skills weren’t just at a level that could be called excellent.

‘What the hell do those people do?!’

In the midst of all these bustling people.

Archery skills that picked off only the goblins appearing here and there.

There even seemed to be about ten of such people.

‘It’s like watching special forces veterans.’

The primitive humans moved like ghosts and caught the creatures whenever they spotted goblins.

Literally, the guys were sweeping up the monsters on the labyrinth basement 1st floor.

“Crazy bastards…”

It was truly an astonishing sight.

A party?

A guild?

No, who could show this level of coordination and skill?

And what they were doing with such movements was catching goblins…

‘A perfect waste of talent. Perfect.’

Could they themselves do it?

Could they, skilled hunters who had already graduated from the 1st floor of the labyrinth?

‘No matter how much we practice, we probably couldn’t do it like that. That’s not simply a matter of skill.’

More than ten people were moving as if they were one body.

Yu Hee-jun and Park Min-soo shook their heads, saying that even practicing for 10 years wouldn’t make that level possible.

“Let’s focus on finding the golden goblin first. Let’s leave those guys alone.”

“Uh, yeah… R-right.”

They had forgotten, their eyes drawn to such excellent skills.

Their original purpose was to discover the golden goblin.

Then, on the opposite side.

Someone shouted.

“G-golden goblin!”

A shout that crossed the battlefield.

Simultaneously, golden light burst forth from inside the maze.

All eyes turned at once.

“R-really a golden goblin?!”

“Move! That one’s mine!”

“What kind of bullshit is that? I was here first!”

“Everyone get lost! I’ll catch it first!”

Kirrrrr!

Some hunters urgently began contacting someone.

Others drew their weapons and prepared to catch the golden goblin.

“L-let’s get ready too. That thing’s durability is no joke, so we’ll have a chance too.”

“Ah, got it.”

Until that moment, the hunters were caught up in dreams of striking it rich.

If they could just catch that thing, they could touch money in the hundreds of millions.

Wouldn’t it be worth risking everything to go for it?

Only 3 or 4 seconds had passed since the Golden Goblin appeared.

If they attacked from now on-

Ping!

“Huh?”

That was when it happened.

An arrow that flew from somewhere.

The moment a single arrow, shot by someone unknown, pierced the Golden Goblin’s forehead.

Ping! Pi-pi-ping!

Over ten arrows flying from all directions.

Every single one of them accurately pierced through the monster’s head without exception.

And….

It was over.

Kieeeeeek!

The Golden Goblin exploded with an ear-splitting scream.

It all happened in just 5 seconds after the creature had appeared.

“Uh…. Wh-what was that just now?”

“There was definitely a Golden Goblin there, right?”

“It died already?”

“I didn’t even get to draw my sword?”

Most of the Hunters froze in their weapon-drawing stance.

The moment they looked toward where the arrows had come from, moving only their eyes while maintaining that position.

-Woo! Woo! Woo!

-Caught something amazing!

-We can go back now!

-Sausages are waiting for us!

Primitive Humans!

It was the Primitive Humans.

They caught a Golden Goblin with just a few shabby bows?

And they did it before even these level 20-30+ Hunters could properly react?

The Hunters looked around with confused expressions, trying to understand the situation.

As if for them to hear, a new message appeared before all the Hunters’ eyes.

[Someone has defeated the legendary Golden Goblin for the first time.]

[First Achievement reward: Legendary-grade ability enhancement will be provided.]
