Chapter 7: (1): Season 1 Preparation

Chapter 7: (1): Season 1 Preparation

The magical stone spat out by the fierce dog monster that appeared at the Sunshine Nursery was sold for 2 million won, excluding taxes. This wasnt because Jong-won sold it; it was the price set by the government. Currently, magical stones, or to be more precise, Whitestones, are managed at the national level. They must be sold to the government, which controls their quantity and distribution. Almost all countries have adopted this system.

Anyway, Hyun-seok was surprised to learn that a mere fist-sized rock could fetch 2 million won.

I made 2 million won in 30 minutes.

Well, thats because we took our time catching it as safely as possible. If we had gone all out, we could have caught it in 10 minutes.

Hyun-seok smirked. Although the statement wasnt exaggerated, he could sense that the guy was trying to highlight the good points of being a Slayer and lure him into becoming one.

But youll only get about 300,000 won per person, right?

I get a bonus on top of my fixed salary, so its fine. I work for 30 minutes and get an extra 300,000 won. Plus, Im guaranteed to do activities outside of the guild, so its practically the best in terms of freedom.

Okay, I get it. Im just out of work.

Hey, how about practicing controlling your strength? It would be a shame if you couldnt use it in an emergency situation because you couldnt control it.

Ive been practicing already. Its not going very well, though.

He wasnt obsessed with practicing to the point of risking his life, but he had been practicing controlling his strength. Nevertheless, it seemed like it would take some more time to fully control his immense physical abilities.

Okay then. If I come across any items that suit you, Ill bring them to you.

Items that suit me?

You know, like martial arts or fighting skills.

Leave it. If I learned martial arts with my strength and accidentally hit someone or something really hard, how would I handle it?

I see

When hunting monsters, rare items would occasionally drop. They werent anything like a legendary martial arts manual, but they had some effect. However, even if it was the same punch, the destructive power of a person with 100 strength and a person with 10 strength would inevitably be different. In other words, Hyun-seok was someone with 100 strength, and even if he swung his fist carelessly, it was incredibly powerful.

If that guy Hyun-seok just punched properly, he could easily take down most monsters.

Jong-won desperately wanted to recruit Hyun-seok into the Slayer world. He had a vague idea that Hyun-seoks stats would make him a storm in the Slayer world. He was just disappointed that he didnt have the will to do it himself.

Even just looking at the members, they earn a pure fixed salary of over 3 million won per month, excluding performance bonuses. And every time they hunt monsters, they receive quite a bit of performance bonuses. Additionally, the income earned from establishing temporary guilds and slaughtering separately within IUET is separate.

Even if I hunt the bare minimum, Ill easily make over 500,000 won per month.

She may not know it, but she is probably making well over 500,000 won per month. However, regardless of that, externally, the statistics show that it is around 2 million won, so it was not a lie.

I clearly said no.

Mom and Dad approved it too!

Min-seo, who became upset, eventually had tears in her eyes. She loved being a Slayer after awakening, and she was even in the support branch. She was in a special branch that provided battlefields and recovery fields while having a skill called Restore.

The number of support Slayers is clearly lower than that of regular Slayers. It is known that they have the power to restore broken inanimate objects within the battlefield to their state before the battlefield unfolded, but they must be present in that place from the beginning to the end of the battlefield to perform the restoration.

Thats why Hyun-seok was against it. Once you enter the battlefield, the monsters will prioritize attacking the people within the battlefield. It is still unclear how aggro works, but it is known that sometimes even support Slayers are attacked unexpectedly.

Thats because Mom and Dad dont really understand. Do they even know how dangerous it is? The situation is already becoming worse with monsters getting stronger and stronger. Even elite Slayers are hunting and working hard because there is no data on unknown new monsters. Youre just going to jump into that kind of danger just to make a few million won? Study hard and get a stable, comfortable, and good job. Thats my sincere advice as your older brother and a senior in society.

I hate it! I hate it! Im going to do it anyway!

Min-seo eventually burst into tears and ran to her room. Hyun-seok let out a deep sigh. Their father, Seg-won, who had been dozing off while watching their behavior, also let out a sigh.

Why do you oppose what our daughter wants to do so much? Seg-won asked.

Ive seen a monster of the Mastiff family before. Its completely different from a regular dog, and the strength is incredible.

Hyun-seok decided to exaggerate a little.

Its huge, too. A child like Min-seo could swallow it whole and still have leftovers. You wont know until you see it in person. Its really dangerous. There are plenty of good things to do, so why bother risking it? Mom and Dad, at least leave this problem to me. Ill make sure she can never do it.
