Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 85

They were sitting in a hastily set up situation room in front of the Woongin Life Building in Mapo-gu.

This was Korea’s second RP Dungeon. Since the first RP had appeared around the time of the Great Cataclysm, it had been almost 8 years.

For now, all S-rank hunters and the main raid teams from major guilds had gathered to assess the situation.

The prominent figures from each guild had assembled with serious expressions, but the situation ended surprisingly simply.

This was because the Association President looked at On Jurim and started coughing excessively for some reason, then only decided which guilds would be selected for this RP before disappearing as if fleeing with her tail between her legs.

It was because the association president kept coughing awkwardly when he saw On Ju-rim, then after just deciding on the guilds to be drafted for this RP, he disappeared as if fleeing with his tail between his legs.

As soon as they scattered, the reporters who had set up camp outside would surely unleash a barrage of questions.

Because it was clear that as soon as they scattered, the reporters camped outside would unleash a barrage of questions.

They would ask such random questions without caring about the Association President’s instructions.

In the end, it was to show that Hyeonak wouldn’t just sit idle and wouldn’t ignore threats to Korea.

You’ll probably just ignore the association president’s instructions and ask these kinds of random questions out of nowhere.

“Hm? What is?”

“No~~~~ matter how much I think about it, it’s just weird~~”

“Association President Ahn Sunyoung… It’s really strange and unsettling that she’s only sending her daughter-in-law’s guild.”

“Why? Isn’t it because it’s an RP?”

At Team Leader Kim Jong-won’s words, Gidan, who had been turning on a game on his phone, looked up and asked.

RP Dungeon.

“Why? Isn’t it because it’s RP?”

According to researchers who have studied the system so far, the prevailing hypothesis was that the system wasn’t generated on Earth but was artificially created in another world, and came to Earth along with the end of that original world.

RP Dungeons were places that recreated that world.

RP Dungeon.

Therefore, while other dungeons have specific monsters as their masters, RPs have the unique characteristic of the system itself being the dungeon’s master.

According to researchers who have studied the system so far, the prevailing hypothesis was that the system was not originated on Earth, but was artificially created in another world and likely transferred to Earth along with the end of its original world.

The system, which is the master of RP Dungeons, creates a world and then generates specific scenario Quests that fit the dungeon.

And the condition for clearing it is for the hunters deployed in the dungeon to successfully progress through that scenario.

Scholars compare it to cache files that remained in the system.

After that, everyone receives a common Main Quest, and individual Quests based on their roles.

That’s why the strategy also changes.

Therefore, the established theory was that rather than having numerous people rush in together and trip over each other, it was better to send coordinated guilds for higher success rates.

That’s why they sent one large guild (Brom) as the main force, along with its allied guilds as one unit.

And the condition for clearing the dungeon is that the hunters deployed inside successfully progress through that scenario.

However, the problem was dungeon breaks.

After that, everyone receives a main Quest that is common to all, as well as individual Quests based on their roles.

But RP dungeon breaks are different. When an RP opens, world collides with world.

Literally, it means receiving an impact on the level of cities collapsing and nations declining.

That’s why the prevailing wisdom was that organized guilds working in coordination had a higher success rate than having countless people rushing in chaotically and tripping over each other.

Gidan sank deeper into his chair and continued speaking.

That’s why they sent one large guild (Brom) as the main force, along with its allied guilds as a single unit.

Based on the cases so far, the main quest isn’t too difficult to clear as long as everyone plays their role properly.

However, the problem was the dungeon break.

Dungeon breaks below S-rank refer to monsters pouring out from inside the dungeon.

But RP’s dungeon breaks are different. When an RP opens, world collides with world.

Literally, it would be a shock of such magnitude that cities would crumble and nations would decline.

As a result, despite RP’s conquest difficulty not being high, it was classified as a major dungeon, causing all S-rank hunters to gather in one place.

Gidan sank deeper into his chair as he continued speaking.

“The strategy difficulty would be low, and since it’s an RP appearing in the heart of Seoul, it would draw a lot of attention. I guess they thought it would be useful in many ways.”

“Hey high schooler, adults have something called experience. There’s this thing that hits you right in the forehead. Right, Guild Master?”

He looked at On Jurim.

On Jurim didn’t answer and just kept smoking his cigarette. While fiddling with his mobile phone, the only thing he finally said was this.

“Aren’t food names unnecessarily long these days?”

Apart from agreeing with his statement, On Jurim’s mind had been somewhere strange lately. It was suspicious that someone who usually slept half the day was only sleeping a third of it for several days now.

Shin Nayeon chimed in agreement, saying she couldn’t memorize the names, while Kim Jongwon crossed his arms with a displeased expression.

Meanwhile, Gidan was tapping on his keyboard. He seemed to be looking for someone in the game, but since there was no one to find, the chat window was filled only with question marks.

Then, Shin Nayeon, who had been pondering the Team Leader’s question, clapped her hands.

“I got it. Aren’t they doing this to give an artifact to Guild Master Cheon?”

Artifact.

Equipment possessed by S-Rank or higher bosses (like Biart’s Void) are called artifacts, referring to them as ‘items made with otherworldly technology.’

If the RP was truly an implementation of the original world, it meant it was a place where you could farm artifacts that only existed in remnants of other dimensions.

“Hmm, is that it? Because of artifacts? To give to his daughter-in-law’s family? This is why blood ties, regional ties, school ties – none of that stuff works.”

Gidan interrupted his muttering.

“That’s like saying ‘theoretically, time travel through black holes is possible.’ If that really worked, the whole world would already be in chaos.”

Not only S-Rank or higher artifacts, but also elixirs (legendary potions said to cure all diseases) and Lost Technology Archive Books (books that preserve technologies that existed in the past but are now lost), and so on.

It’s possible to bring back such items?

When RP research was first announced, it caused a sensation and all hunters wanted to enter RPs, but…

‘Artifacts? I’ve never seen such things. Do they really exist?’

‘Honest statement from American S-Rank Hunter: It would be faster to hunt one more S-Rank monster than to look for artifacts in RPs.’

With interviews from hunters who had only wandered around rural areas and outskirts in RPs before returning, RPs had now fallen to being merely troublesome and annoying places.

Then, On Jurim, who had been quiet all along, turned his cigarette butt to dust and stood up.

“What are you going to do?”

“I feel like I’m getting dumber just being here.”

“Excuse me?”

“Ouch, this is a 4-week recovery internal injury.”

The Team Leader scrunched up his face, and Gidan clutched his ribs.

“Don’t worry, Guild Master. They say stupidity isn’t contagious.”

Shin Nayeon said cheerfully by herself.

Regardless, On Jurim lifted the tent flap.

“Hey, Guild Master. Where are you going? There are still reporters outside, aren’t there?”

“Running an errand.”

Everyone looked stunned at his indifferent reply. Even Shin Nayeon was shocked.

Whose errand could he possibly be running? That’s not like him at all?

* * *

“Our guild NAG never takes the safety of citizens lightly. I’m not saying Brom will fail, but unlike other dungeons where strategy methods are established, situations inside RP Dungeons are unpredictable, so to prepare for any possible accidents, all our guild members are on standby to respond in real time…”

Gu Shinhu, who had been rambling into the microphone outside the tent for a while, trailed off.

Because the reporters’ gazes immediately shifted to one place.

It was where Jurim, who had come out of Hyeonak’s barracks, was standing.

“Thank you for your answer, Guild Master Gu Shinhu.”

The reporter who had been holding a microphone to him quickly wrapped up and began moving toward Jurim. All the reporters who had been camped in front of Gu Shinhu did the same.

“Guild Master On Jurim, what do you think about this RP Dungeon?”

“Guild Master On Jurim! What kind of response is Hyeonak planning?”

Even as they thrust microphones and cameras at him while chasing from behind and beside, the actual center of attention maintained complete silence and just walked along leisurely.

‘Damn it, with a face like that he should have been a celebrity, why the hell is he a Hunter.’

Gu Shinhu glared at Jurim irritably.

On Jurim, Gidan, Nayeon, and even On Jurim’s adopted daughter.

Perhaps because their facial features were superior compared to other guilds, no matter how detestable they acted, people were more curious about Hyeonak’s movements than NAG’s.

Jurim entered a convenience store in the distance with that crowd hanging off him, then came out holding a bag of strawberry candy in his hand.

‘What kind of novel crazy behavior is that now?’

In this disaster situation, the most attention-grabbing person wouldn’t open his mouth once and what he does is buy candy at a convenience store.

Listening to the incessant sound of camera shutters, Gu Shinhu imagined the titles of photo articles that would soon be published.

‘[Photo S] On Jurim’s Great Dungeon-level Sweet Taste.’

‘[Photo] Thank You, On Jurim! Smiling Hanyang Confectionery.’

Damn appearance supremacism. Gu Shinhu, who felt anger rising for no reason, was about to enter NAG’s barracks.

The moment he turned his head, he met Jurim’s eyes.
