Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 20

“Gidan, are you teaching the kid good things?”

“No, it’s all because I’m worried. Hyung, aren’t you worried about Gru?”

“Worried?”

As if dumbfounded, On Jurim looked Gru up and down.

Gru was currently loaded with A-rank items from head to toe.

It was because On Jurim, Nayeon, and Gidan had armed the child with all sorts of defense items.

In his current state, he could even serve as a tanker in a C-rank dungeon.

Going into an F-rank designated dungeon carrying items worth about 1.5 billion won combined was more fitting to call a picnic rather than a raid.

Gru had no idea how much the combined price of his items was worth and just eagerly accepted and wore whatever was given to him.

After carefully checking Gru to see if any items were forgotten, On Jurim asked.

“Can you follow people other than the party leader, or not?”

“Can’t!”

“What did I tell you to do if it gets dangerous and scary?”

“Use the emergency escape scwoll!”

Gru fumbled through his bag and pulled out an Emergency Escape Scroll. It was an item that could instantly transport him outside the dungeon.

“Good.”

On Jurim nodded satisfactorily, and Gidan burst into incredulous laughter.

“You said you weren’t worried. Isn’t that thing hard to find even at the Auction House?”

“Shut up.”

Regardless, On Jurim helped with the rest of the preparations.

“Where’s the suit?”

“Here!”

Gru came over dangling the shopping bag he had left beside the sofa.

“Put it on now. We need to leave soon.”

“Yesh.”

Gru took out the bear outfit from the shopping bag and slipped his feet and arms into it.

When he pulled the zipper all the way up to his neck, a bear-shaped hood that could cover his entire face dangled behind his neck.

On Jurim helped Gru put his bag back on and closed the zipper after putting the branch inside.

When Gru became a bear doll wearing a hip bag, Gidan asked with snickering laughter.

“Dummy Gru, what’s that?”

“Warm and Cozy Defense Suit!”

“Pffft.”

Gidan burst into laughter and On Jurim let out a slight sigh, but Gru remained steadfast.

In fact, On Jurim didn’t want Gru to go to the dungeon. Not only was it dangerous, but he didn’t like the idea of unspecified people knowing Gru’s identity.

He had suggested sending the Bear Doll instead, like when it was active at Onion Market, but Gru couldn’t compromise.

The first reason was wondering if a hunter license would come out without personally entering the dungeon.

The second was ‘Once Gru gets through this trial, Gru will be a hunter too.’

To become a proper hunter, one couldn’t avoid going to dungeons forever!

So they reached an agreement to wear a suit that would cover the face and protect the body.

In fact, most hunters wore suits made of special materials created by Production-type Awakened.

However, there was one problem – no one manufactured suits for children.

Considering the demand for children’s suits, it was natural that there was no supply.

For this reason, Gru had to personally modify the Unfinished Bear doll all night long.

“Why is it Warm and Cozy?”

“Because I put hot packs in it, so it’s warm and cozy.”

Looking at the dungeon guide, Bukhansan Dungeon was said to be the territory of the Frost Clan, having a cold environment. Since it was F-rank, it wouldn’t be too harsh an environment, but.

‘I hate the cold!’

Therefore, she extracted ‘Tough and Sturdy (E)’ from cowhide and ‘Warm and Cozy (F)’ from hot packs and synthesized them into the Unfinished Bear suit.

Gru even took out her only weapon, the Sharp Duck Tongs, from the shopping bag. The Unfinished Bear doll held the duck tongs and raised them high as if piercing the sky.

“Combined, it’s Warm and Sharp!”

“Ahahahahahaha!”

As Gidan started rolling over with laughter again, Jurim simply grabbed Gru by the scruff of the neck and left the Guild Leader’s Office.

“But isn’t taking the bus illegal?”

After the law changed and several prospective hunters easily obtained hunter licenses by pairing with high-ranking hunters, buses became controversial for a while.

In response, the Management Bureau announced that while they didn’t define buses as illegal, they discouraged their use, and since there were no particular sanctions, hunters who made buses their livelihood began to emerge.

Gidan, who was unaware of this, followed along and asked On Jurim.

“I got permission from the Bureau Chief.”

“Well then, I guess it’s fine.”

* * *

Bukhansan F-Rank Designated Dungeon entrance.

Prospective hunters began gathering to obtain their Hunter License.

D-rank hunter Lee Sanghyeok began observing with hawk-like eyes while waiting for party members to board his bus.

The day he received the anonymous phone call. The proposal was as follows.

If he recruited a party on a specific day and time to clear the Bukhansan F-Rank Designated Dungeon, he would be paid 10 million won.

’10 million won for one F-rank designated dungeon? I can’t pass this up.’

However, since they didn’t clearly specify who would board the bus, he felt slightly anxious and concerned.

That’s when it happened.

Creak creak creak creak creek-

The nerve-grating sound of bicycle pedals turning could be heard.

Creak creak creek-

A large bear doll that had been pedaling hard on a children’s tricycle parked in front of them.

Curly and soft hot pink fur, droopy eyebrows, and a mouth that looked like an upside-down “3”.

The party members all stared at the bear doll with dazed expressions.

Soon, an incongruously modulated mechanical voice emerged from the bear doll’s mouth.

– Is this Lee Sanghyeok’s party?

The dazed Lee Sanghyeok nodded his head slightly.

– Nice to meet you. I’m Incomplete Bear mk.1, participating in this raid.

Somehow, those droopy eyebrows that made anyone looking at them feel irritated shot up to the top of its head.

Lee Sanghyeok and all the party members had the same thought.

‘Jjapso.’

‘It’s Jjapso…’

The insane concept player whose face-to-face reviews occasionally circulated on anonymous communities.

The party members who confirmed Jjapso’s presence swallowed hard. Then they all put their heads together and started whispering.

“Is that really him?”

“What is that? Is it really a doll?”

“We’re going with Jjapso? For real?”

Questions filled with nothing but question marks burst out all at once.

Lee Sanghyeok felt cold sweat flowing.

He was just as dizzy, but either way, work had to be done, didn’t it?

Just as he thought he should calm everyone down and head in, the tricycle approached with a squeaking sound.

Incomplete Bear mk.1 made a clicking sound with its right foot as it stopped the bicycle and opened the zipper of the bag it wore across its chest.

Ziiiiip-

Then something began fluttering up from the bag.

[Attack power against slime-type targets increases by 10%.]

[Attack power increases by 10%.]

[Accuracy increases by 10.]

Three penguin toys circled above the party.

Lee Sanghyeok, who had been staring at the flying penguins with a dizzy expression, was surprised and checked his status window.

Attack power was being applied with double buffs stacked.

‘…Is this insane? Bringing such expensive stuff just to hunt slimes…’

Lee Sanghyeok decided not to think too deeply about it.

Fine. Whether the bus passenger was a madman or a doll, as long as he got paid.

“Since everyone’s gathered, let’s depart then.”

* * *

The ice slime puffed up its body. Toot toot toot toot, sharp ice flew toward the party members.

Lee Sanghyeok casually knocked away the ice fragments with his twin swords.

The difficulty was quite low, and since running this daily had become routine, it wasn’t a challenging dungeon.

But today felt different.

‘My body definitely feels lighter.’

How exactly did the buff stacking calculation work to produce this effect?

Were buff items made by high-ability users really that different?

‘Only the strong ones will get stronger.’

Lee Sanghyeok struck out at the ice shards with force while thinking about how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

‘Oh no!’

Was it because his strength control was clumsy due to the buff?

One ice shard bounced off and flew toward Incomplete Bear mk.1.

‘Of all people, toward our big spender customer!’

He gritted his teeth and tried to block the shard. From the angle, it wouldn’t cause a serious injury, but he couldn’t let their precious guest get even a scratch!

But he soon realized there was no need for that.

Ching-

Shwiik-

Woong-

Before the ice shard could even graze him, about three Auto Shields had deployed.

– What was that just now?

Incomplete Bear mk.1 looked around cluelessly, not knowing what had happened to him.

Of course he wouldn’t know. The ice shard hadn’t even gotten close enough for him to notice.

Thanks to that, Lee Sanghyeok’s pupils shook as he stood there holding his sword in an awkward pose.

‘Is he really a newbie? Just how much money did he dump into that doll fragment? Do newbies really have that much money?’

Auto Shields cost at least several hundred million each…

Is this what extreme concept roleplay looks like? Lee Sanghyeok swallowed hard at the incomprehensible madness.
