Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 3

* * *

The way Crafting Class hunters usually make money is like this.

1. Use skills to create items.

2. Sell them.

Since Gru was a Crafting Class hunter, he could easily create items.

But the problem was selling them.

The Hunter Market that hunters used was only available to those with hunter licenses!

[Of course, only hunters with licenses can trade.]

Ta-da!

Gru, who had been reading through the Knowledge-in answer, drooped his mouth corners dejectedly.

But heaven smiled upon Gru,

and that was through the portal’s main article.

[Hotbed of illegality ‘Onion Market’. Is this really okay?]

[To block Onion Market, anonymous store laws need revision…]

[Onion Market becomes hunters’ illegal tax evasion route. Can the store avoid responsibility by turning a blind eye?]

The article explained that Onion Market was a place where anonymous transactions took place, complete with detailed instructions on how to use Onion Market.

The comments cursed that such articles encouraged illegal activities, but to Gru, it was simply heaven-sent luck.

Gru immediately downloaded Onion Market on his Kids Phone and familiarized himself with how to use it.

Onion Market had various trading methods, but most were done through direct transactions.

However, there was one problem—

‘Gru can’t go in person!’

Ta-da!

Meeting scary and strong hunters to trade would be too dangerous.

‘I need to hide my identity.’

Hiding his identity was simple if he used his skills.

The difficult choice was what appearance to take.

Gru wanted to appear very scary and strong to the hunters.

‘Scary. Shiver shiver.’

He recalled lots of strong and scary things and drew a simple diagram in his head.

Strong and scary thing = Saw.

At the orphanage, his older sisters and brothers used to secretly watch horror movies at night, and unfortunately, Gru, who had been going to the bathroom, unexpectedly ended up watching 【Saw】.

He remembered trembling for two days without being able to sleep.

‘Creepy.’

Gru shuddered and decided on his substitute like that.

And he scraped together all his saved allowance to purchase an Unfinished Bear Doll (Extra Large), an Old Remote Control Car, and a Pet Cam with difficulty.

[You have acquired ‘Inanimate Remote Control (D)’.]

[You have acquired ‘Real-time Recording (E)’.]

He used ‘Extract Extract’ to extract each function and synthesized them with the Unfinished Bear Doll.

[Item: Unfinished Automatic Bear Doll (D)]

Next, it was time for the most frightening and dangerous extraction.

From that day on, for a whole week, Gru watched 【Saw】 every night.

[Skill ‘Extract Extract’ has failed.]

[Skill ‘Extract Extract’ has failed.]

Every day he trembled as countless failures repeated, but…

.

.

[Activating skill ‘Extract Extract’.]

[You have acquired ‘Jigsaw’s Distorted Voice (C)’.]

‘I did it!’

He finally extracted ‘Distorted Voice (C)’ from 【Saw】.

‘A whole C-rank!’

If he synthesized the distorted voice with the Unfinished Bear Doll, it would finally be complete.

[Unfinished Automatic Bear Doll with Distorted Mechanical Voice (C)]

Speech patterns are automatically converted.

Gru moved the bear doll with the Remote Control.

The connection seemed unstable as it creaked, but it moved as he wanted.

The Old TV displayed the screen showing what the bear doll was seeing.

After confirming the bear doll moved well, Gru tried speaking.

“Ah- Gru makes money.”

– Gru, it’s time to make money.

The speech pattern automatically converted like Jigsaw’s, which he liked.

Because in Gru’s mind, this was how the strongest hunters should speak.

After finishing all preparations like this, Gru completed market research on what items sold well on Onion Market, then posted his first sales listing, and the results were successful.

After receiving his first customer, he gained payment know-how and only accepted payments through Onion Pay.

Because it was less risky than cash.

At that time, it seemed like happy days would continue, but this didn’t last very long.

As he began to gain fame within Onion Market, requests to buy items from Gru came flooding in.

‘There are too many messages…’

Gru, who was still low level, couldn’t handle that volume of orders, nor could he accommodate all those who demanded various trading methods.

He had to devise another method. For stable sales, Gru went through several trials and errors.

And now, several months later.

Gru had become a professional peddler who traveled around dungeons directly selling necessary goods.

Gru entered Onion Market.

My Onion Pay: 19,100,000 OP

A humming tune naturally flowed out at the sight of the amount with so many zeros.

With this much, couldn’t he find Mom and Dad?

But soon Gru had no choice but to realize that the world wasn’t so easy.

【Onion Market Customer Service Inquiry】

Q: Hello. I am Onion Market ID IAMGROOT123. I have a question.

Recently I tried to buy Earth Candy with Onion Pay at a supermarket, but the Store Owner said I couldn’t buy it with this. Other stores said the same thing.

It says that Onion Pay can be used the same as cash, so why can’t I use it?

A: Hello, customer IAMGROOT123. We will answer your inquiry regarding Onion Pay.

Onion Pay can be used for the same purposes as cash at Onion Market or Coin Exchange, but it cannot be used at general retail stores.

When using Onion Pay at general retail stores, you must exchange it for cash, and Onion Market deposits the amount minus fees into registered accounts.

If you register your account number in [My Account (link)], we will process the exchange for you. Thank you.

Gru rolled his eyes while reading Onion Market’s response several times.

‘General retail stores? Exchange? Account?’

What are those!

For a 4-year-old kindergartener who was financially illiterate, these were all completely unknown words.

When he asked his teacher to decode this cryptic message and learned the meaning of exchange and account, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

“Well, Gru. An account is like an internet wallet where you can put in and take out money. You’re still too young to make one, Gru.”

Crash-!

It felt like lightning was constantly striking above his head.

Unaware of Gru’s feelings, the teacher handed him a Sapling Bank Wallet used for playing bank.

He studied extensively to find another method, but what Gru discovered was no different from what his teacher had told him.

Without doing something called exchange, Onion Pay was nothing but Sapling Bank paper scraps.

And that wasn’t all.

At this point, what method could a kindergartener with no guardian use to open a bank account?

No matter how much he clung to the kindergarten teacher’s or the orphanage director’s pant legs and pleaded, such a thing didn’t exist.

It was a desperate situation where, due to the crime of being a kindergartener, 20 million won had no choice but to remain dormant in Onion Market.

* * *

‘I’m a failure…’

Gru, curled up in despair, glanced at the TV.

For a kindergartener with no one to lean on, there was nothing better than TV for learning about worldly matters.

On the screen, an interview with Hunter On Jurim was playing.

As soon as On Jurim appeared, the childcare workers fixed their gazes on the TV screen.

“On Jurim is even doing interviews now?”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

“He’s still ranked number 1, right?”

“As expected, proper power awakens in a proper face, I guess. Just look at that upright face.”

“Exactly. He’s just handsome.”

True to their words, On Jurim was a handsome man with a beauty mark under his left eye.

If it weren’t for the subtitle reading ‘Hunter Special,’ one might have mistaken him sitting with his long legs crossed in a plush chair for a model or actor.
