Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 168

 

In fact, this was the first time I had ever spent such a large sum of money, so my heart was pounding and I was swaying like a balloon doll.

If he made one more purchase like this, Han Gru’s heart might not survive.

 

By the way.

‘Is the nouveau riche lifestyle coming to an end now?’

 

The 2 billion earned from the auction house, plus the 1 billion received under the name of Chick Drone rental fees, totaling 3 billion.

 

2 billion won earned from the auction house, plus 1 billion won received under the pretext of chick drone rental fees, totaling 3 billion won.

Now Han Gru is no longer a nouveau riche. It was when Han Gru was lost in empty feelings.

 

Now Gru wasn’t a nouveau riche anymore. It was when Gru was lost in empty feelings.

‘Eh?’

 

‘Huh?’

[Achievement: ＜First Splurge＞ Achieved!]

 

[‘The more you spend, the more (self-proclaimed) nouveau riche you become!’ function is unlocked.]

 

[Achievement: ＜First Splurge＞ unlocked!]

Various spending experiences also help with the child’s development. Let’s continue to experience various types of spending under the Guardian’s guidance!

 

-Children gain increases to the hidden stat ‘Wealth Luck’ proportional to the amount spent each time they make a purchase.

‘Right. Han Gru, it’s not time to seal the Wallet of Justice yet!’

 

Gruga opened his mouth wide.

And let’s become rich again!

 

Han Gru made up his mind firmly and turned his gaze to Kang Jei.

 

Playing Monopoly helps with children’s development!

“Sister, you can’t look down on children anymore.”

 

And let’s become rich again!

19-year-old Kang Jei’s expression became extremely subtle after being lectured by a 5-year-old.

 

And Han Gru turned his head to Ham Honggi.

 

Startled! I approached her as her shoulders trembled and gently patted her legs.

“Yes!”

 

Han Gru turned around stylishly, his skirt hem fluttering.

 

“Hmm!”

 

And Gru turned his head toward the airplane.

“Han Gru has to go to the bathroom. Well then…”

 

“Yes!”

“It’s not that I need to pee urgently. There’s someone I need to find.”

 

“Understood!”

 

Gru spun around gracefully, her skirt swirling dramatically.

“Hmm!”

“Where are you going?”

“Gru needs to go to the bathroom. Well then, I’ll be going…”

Drawing out the last words to leave a lingering impression, she hurried off to the bathroom with quick little steps… then came back and whispered softly.

“It’s not that I need to pee urgently. There’s someone who’s going to look for me.”

“Understood!”

“Ahem!”

 

Ham Honggi answered with renewed vigor.

 

Han Gru cleared his throat and shuffled back toward the bathroom.

 

‘Is Sergey still not done?’

 

Did something really happen?

 

He couldn’t enter the men’s bathroom, so he lingered around in front of it…

 

Suddenly his bag began to wriggle.

 

It was a sign that Veilak was turning into a human.

 

Han Gru quickly moved to a corner and pulled Veilak out.

 

The hamster soon became a boy and looked toward the bathroom.

 

“Phew-”

 

He barely made it in time. The bag almost burst.

 

But why is he staring at the bathroom right after coming out?

 

“Bay, why?”

 

Is it because of Sergey?

 

“Don’t tell me Sergey fell into the toilet?”

 

No wonder he hasn’t come out for so long.

 

Then Veilak looked back at Han Gru with a face that seemed curious about what kind of thoughts he lived with.

 

“It’s not that. The human inside talking to that guard named Sergey has my ‘star.'”

 

“Star?”

 

Veilak’s star!

 

Han Gru’s eyes widened.

 

“What’s a star?”

 

“What humans call a magic stone. I thought it disappeared when I was sealed, but it was here.”

 

Then Veilak casually dropped a bombshell.

 

“If we leave it like that, that human will probably die…”

 

“Huh?!”

 

* * *

 

A boy with a pale face came out of the bathroom stall, breathing heavily.

 

Sergey, who was drying his hands with a hand towel, glanced at the panting boy through the mirror.

 

He had been watching because he felt unstable magical power, and the guy he ended up seeing had a familiar face.

 

“…”

 

Lee Taemin. 16 years old. A-rank Awakened.

 

An A-rank with magical power exceeding S-rank, a first-year rookie.

 

They were in the same class, but for Sergey who claimed to be a loner, this was someone he had never properly talked to.

 

He also noticed Sergey and frowned.

 

“Did you see?”

 

Sergey chewed his gum and replied in a sarcastic tone.

 

“You know what? I’m blind.”

 

“Stop joking around. I know you speak Korean well, you bastard. Isn’t it ridiculous that you can’t say a single word in Korean but your listening is fluent?”

 

Hmm, Sergey blew a bubble with his gum.

 

Sergey had adopted the concept of being a foreigner who couldn’t speak Korean, so he only spoke English at school.

 

“so?”

 

“Concept-obsessed bastard.”

 

Yeah, so what.

 

For Sergey, who was already known at the company for his chuunibyou tendencies, it wasn’t much of a blow.

 

“You’re strong, right? That’s why you’re at Hyeonak.”

 

“Fucking I don’t know what you’re saying.”

 

“Fine, you son of a bitch.”

 

Taemin gritted his teeth at Sergey’s formidable antisocial power.

 

At that moment, unstable magical power rippled from Taemin again.

 

Perhaps anxious that Sergey might find it strange, Taemin quickly left the bathroom.

 

Sergey watched him go with narrowed brows. That guy smells dangerous.

 

‘A magic stone item?’

 

The grade itself looks high, but maybe the crafter was no good…

 

Poor quality items exist in the world too.

 

No matter how premium the materials, an item’s utility inevitably varies depending on the crafter who handles them.

 

No matter how good the materials, an item that runs wild on its own is practically useless.

 

Like the earring Lee Taemin is wearing right now.

 

That’s why the crafter was more important than anything else.

 

Sergey recalled the earring that looked like black obsidian. That thing was definitely consuming stamina to continuously pump magical power into his body.

 

He had seen such items several times at Gnosis.

 

One of the ways to easily raise one’s abilities was to use high-grade items.

 

But something like that…

 

“Something like that is trash.”

 

That’s how Irina had explained it.

 

It was an item that produced berserker-like effects by artificially amplifying other stats in exchange for consuming stamina and such, but there were hardly any crafters who could properly handle that mechanism, so usually it was just trash.

 

Either it failed to produce satisfactory effects compared to the cost, or the grade was so high that it kept pumping power into the body until death.

 

It was usually one of these two types, and what Taemin had seemed to be the latter.

 

It would be even more fatal for a 16-year-old whose body hadn’t fully grown yet.

 

Even now, his life force was probably being consumed in real time.

 

‘Does that guy’s guild just leave something like that alone?’

 

From what he’d heard through the grapevine, he belonged to a guild called ‘Chase.’

 

‘I know Hyeonak has internal regulations preventing the wearing of excessive items that strain the body…’

 

Soon Sergey shook his head.

 

There are countless guys who want to become strong.

 

Nao Hyung was like that too, and so were the people who got their hands on the suspicious drugs that Seonwoo Kyeong sold.

 

They consider the foolish choices they made while yearning for what they cannot have as the best option.

 

Lee Taemin might also end up being devoured by the items instead, but that was none of his business.

 

It doesn’t seem like it’ll explode right now, so it shouldn’t harm Han Gru.

 

But.

 

Why is that kid over there?

 

* * *

 

Taemin sat on the sofa and leaned back.

 

Sergey, was it? The girls whisper about him so much that he knows his face very well.

 

A boy who is as sensitive as he is handsome, and extremely rejects others.

 

It was when Taemin irritably closed and opened his eyes.

 

Something was being thrust at him.

 

Tree branches and a fork.

 

Two children who looked about 5 years old, a boy and a girl, were each thrusting tree branches and a fork at him threateningly.

 

The girl with beige platinum hair spoke while making her voice sound strange.

 

“If you don’t hand over that earring, I’ll stab you with the fork.”

 

“Chirp!”

 

The cry that followed came from on top of the fork.

 

A white and plump bird opened its eyes in a crescent shape and stuck out its wing feathers sharply as if chiming in.

 

“….”

 

The girl poked the boy who remained silently quiet.

 

At this, the boy spoke as if he had no choice.

 

“I’ll do the same.”

 

Then the girl whispered.

 

“Bay isn’t a fork though.”

 

“Uh uh…. I’ll stab with this.”

 

“Hoo-ung!”

 

The girl raised her eyebrows high as if saying ‘How about that!’

 

Unable to believe the reality of being extorted by 5-year-olds, Taemin was speechless.

 

“….”

 

The fork was thrust forward threateningly once again.

 

“Hand it over.”
