Chapter 52: For Sale, Dwarf-Made Weapons

 

There was quite an image that Hunters affiliated with the Hunter Association usually joined the Association because guilds wouldn’t accept them, but the reality wasn’t like that.

 

There were more talented individuals than expected, and the reason was simple.

 

You could consider all freelance Hunters not affiliated with guilds as Association members.

 

Guilds with many rules and regulations didn’t suit them, but going solo brought too many disadvantages. The only place that provided minimal regulations and basic treatment was the Hunter Association, so freelance Hunters naturally had no choice but to gather under the Association.

 

This was largely thanks to Han Muyeol, the Association President of the Korean Hunter Association.

 

He established laws to treat Hunters with maximum respect, drastically reducing the emigration rate of Korean Hunters, and increased the Association’s welfare benefits, achieving the remarkable feat of reducing the frequency of villains occurring in reality.

 

Although Han Muyeol, who could be called the head of such an Association, had achieved various great accomplishments, separately from that, there were naturally quite a few low-quality individuals among the Association Hunters.

 

The E-rank Zone was no exception.

 

They weren’t quite villains, but they were always full of complaints, envying and being jealous of those who were doing well.

 

Not all untalented people were like this, but usually in such cases, there were quite many who were blocked by the wall of talent.

 

It was the same now.

 

“What was the name of that new party?”

 

“Doyeon? Dohyun? Something like that?”

 

“Ha, this is ridiculous. They say Park Insu is really sucking up to them???”

 

“I heard they’re relatives of high-ranking Association executives?”

 

“Ha! So that’s why he’s sucking up to them.”

 

“Of course. Saying they caught Elves and all, it’s all nonsense.”

 

A party gossiping in slouched postures in the shared dormitory lounge.

 

It was Guyong’s party, an Association-affiliated E-rank party.

 

Starting with party leader Guyong, they were all famous for being guys with no talent who had been stuck in the E-rank Zone forever, and quite many people frowned and left upon seeing them resting in the shared lounge.

 

But since they didn’t have the courage to say anything about it, Guyong clicked his tongue and continued talking about Dohyun’s party.

 

“But what’s so great about them anyway?”

 

“Well, I heard they cleared a dungeon and caught Elves on their first day, but isn’t that bullshit?”

 

“Does that even make sense?”

 

“Exactly.”

 

Several parties shook their heads at Guyong’s party’s words.

 

Since there were actually two parties that had gone to provide support, there were people who had witnessed that situation, but their appearance of trying to bring others down by treating it as mere lies was disgustingly pathetic. Guyong wasn’t unaware of this fact either.

 

But.

 

‘What are we supposed to do about it.’

 

Guyong had also tried his best to the extent worth trying, and had done his utmost.

 

But so what? The result was that he couldn’t escape the E-rank Zone for three years. So the only thing he could do was come here after hunting and gossip about successful parties like this.

 

At first, it felt somewhat refreshing and good, but now instead of being refreshing, it only deepened his sense of frustration.

 

Rather, perhaps because anger kept building up, his nerves became sensitive too.

 

Then unfamiliar faces entered the dormitory building.

 

Guyong could tell that it was Dohyun’s party.

 

“Are those them?”

 

“Ah! That’s right, that’s them.”

 

“…They don’t look like anything special though?”

 

“Exactly.”

 

“It was all lies from the beginning, wasn’t it?”

 

While they were chattering like that, Guyong frowned and was glaring at Dohyun’s party with burning eyes, wanting to see just how great they were, when Dohyun’s head turned and their eyes met.

 

At first, he continued glaring out of defiance, but then Dohyun began approaching toward such Guyong.

 

Since he was clearly approaching while looking at Guyong, he couldn’t help but be flustered.

 

Being quite cowardly, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

 

Is he coming because I was glaring at him?

 

Other Hunters just avoided Guyong because they found him disgusting, but Dohyun is different?

 

What is he trying to do?

 

Guyong and his party members, filled with such thoughts, remained still like mutes who had eaten honey, and when Guyong swallowed his saliva and faced the approaching Dohyun, Dohyun swept his gaze over them.

 

As if receiving the illusion of being sliced by sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything, Guyong’s party froze.

 

At that moment, Guyong felt a vague anxiety that if he couldn’t do anything here, he might really live like this forever, and words of defiance burst out along with rebellious feelings.

 

“What, what are you looking at!”

 

Anyone could see it was nothing more than a scared puppy that had eaten something bad barking in fear, and Guyong had similar thoughts. Just as he was thinking about why he was so pathetic.

 

Dohyun looked at such Guyong and said with a bright smile.

 

“Oh my!! Looking at you, your weapons all seem worn out, do you perhaps need dwarf-made weapons?”

 

“…What?”

 

At Dohyun’s sudden attitude, Guyong unconsciously answered in polite speech and blinked his eyes, and Dohyun responded to such Guyong with an equally bright expression.

 

“Haha, fresh hot dwarf-made weapons just came out! Starting from just 1,000 points.”

 

It was a line no different from street vendors or multi-level marketing scammers, but upon hearing that content, Guyong was so shocked that he had no choice but to jump up from his seat.

 

And it wasn’t just Guyong who jumped up in surprise, but all of Guyong’s party members had no choice but to jump up from their seats in shock.

 

“O, one thousand points!?”

 

“A, are they really dwarf-made weapons!?”

 

“N, no, where did you get dwarf-made weapons…?!”

 

“C, crazy, is it really true?!”

 

“D, dwarf-made?!”

 

Everyone showed shocked reactions, and Dohyun smiled brightly and nodded without losing his cheerful expression.

 

Then when Dohyun clapped his hands, Hanalin and Jiyuchan, whose faces had turned as red as they could get, walked over carrying weapons from behind.

 

Various different weapons were held in their hands.

 

From longswords to shortswords, daggers, shields, spears, there was nothing missing. There were even whips and maces, making their eyes widen.

 

Though it was just a glimpse, the craftsmanship looked extraordinary, and at a glance, they were all weapons with well-balanced density and weight made of iron.

 

Though they lacked talent, they were also veterans who had been Hunters for over five years. Such veterans weren’t without the discernment to distinguish dwarf-made weapons, so their eyes couldn’t help but widen. These were definitely dwarf-made weapons that couldn’t be obtained just by having points.

 

Guyong and all of his party members were swallowing their saliva, and seeing their reaction, Dohyun began to unleash his very cunning rhetoric.

 

“As you all know, dwarf-made weapons aren’t something you can just buy with points, right? The weapons of dwarves who believe their craftsman’s soul disappears if they sell to inferior races like us start at just 1,000 points!”

 

“By, by any chance, how much is the longsword…?”

 

“Ah, customer. The longsword is 5,000 points.”

 

While it was a bit more expensive than market price, as Dohyun said, dwarves were exactly the type who wouldn’t sell to humans, calling them an inferior race.

 

Since a regular dwarf-made iron longsword was roughly 4,000 points, it was at most 1,000 points more expensive, so among humans, this level of markup was understandable.

 

When Dohyun waved the iron longsword in front of Guyong like that, Guyong’s gaze followed the dwarf-made longsword back and forth.

 

And seeing Guyong like that, Dohyun made a rather sad expression and said.

 

“Oh my, customer. Seeing how worn your weapon is, you work hard but people around you don’t really recognize it, do they?”

 

“Ah, yes. That’s really true.”

 

“They don’t acknowledge your efforts and you’re getting more and more tired.”

 

“Yes… that’s right.”

 

Guyong’s expression became sad as if he was gradually being enchanted by Dohyun’s words.

 

And not noticing anything strange about Guyong’s appearance, his party members also began listening intently while being absorbed in Dohyun’s words.

 

“But even if you change weapons, would it be any use? If you lack talent, then good tools wouldn’t be necessary anyway, don’t you think?”

 

“Yes, yes.”

 

“But that’s different!”

 

“!!!”

 

Dohyun suddenly strengthened his tone, capturing everyone’s attention.

 

When all of Guyong’s party opened their eyes wide and focused on Dohyun, he continued speaking.

 

“They say craftsmen don’t blame their tools, but that’s a story about craftsmen. We’re not craftsmen, so shouldn’t we at least borrow the power of tools?”

 

“Ah!”

 

“So if we change our tools first and then make efforts, wouldn’t another path open up!?”

 

“Ahh! Give me the longsword!”

 

“That’s right! I’ll take a bow too!”

 

“Really! I’ll take a spear!”

 

“I, I’ll buy too! Just give me two daggers!”

 

“I’ll take a shield and one-handed sword too!”

 

“Yes, here you are, customers.”

 

The amount Dohyun just sold to Guyong’s party alone was a whopping 30,000 points.

 

Guyong’s party bought new weapons and went out hunting again with renewed vitality and joy, and Dohyun waved at the departing party with a bright smile.

 

Seeing Dohyun like that, Hanalin and Jiyuchan still couldn’t get their reddened faces back to normal, and as Dohyun went around selling weapons here and there, they had to continue enduring that humiliation.

 

Dohyun, who was just brazenly selling items like some home shopping show host, only looked amazing.

 

“Why, why is he so good at that kind of thing?”

 

“I, I don’t know either. But he really sells well…”

 

“Exactly.”

 

While saying that, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan had also picked up their own weapons one by one.

 

As Dohyun sold items like that, his popularity in the Korean Hunter Association Dormitory building was almost sky-high.

 

To put it a bit more exaggeratedly, it was almost at a religious level.

 

“I believe!!!”

 

“Wow, Dohyun sir!!!”

 

“Please, please sell to me too!!!”

 

“I, I want to buy too!!!”

 

“Dwarf-made weapons!!!”

 

“Long live Dohyun sir!!!”

 

His brilliant eloquence and dwarf-made weapons had shown that much power.

 

Usually when this much commotion arose, there would be someone to stop it, but far from that, they were clamoring for him to sell quickly.

 

Receiving almost worship like that, Dohyun’s party earned a whopping 210,000 points that day alone and tried to distribute 70,000 points each fairly, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan stopped them.

 

“No, no, oppa sold everything, so why would we split this…?”

 

“We, we would be too ashamed if we did that…”

 

“Hmm, then since you two need to buy things too, how about taking 50,000 each?”

 

In reality, Dohyun had sold everything so they said it wasn’t necessary, but since they had sold some things together too, Dohyun took 110,000 points while Jiyuchan and Hanalin each took 50,000.

 

The reason Dohyun forcibly distributed points to the two wasn’t about conscience or anything like that, but because they needed points to invest and get stronger, so he gave them a share.

 

And.

 

‘I need to feed them bribes like this in advance so I can take whatever comes out in dungeons later.’

 

Chuckling, Dohyun half-bribed the two, and thus Dohyun acquired a total of 200,000 points.

 

“Let’s go get promoted!”

 

Now only the promotion was really left.
