Chapter 38: (1): Season 1: Preparation

Lee Myeong-hoon had a close relationship with Ha Jong-won. However, he was a bit eccentric and took a different path from other slayers. He was more interested in excavating and exploring dungeons than slaying monsters. He enjoyed discovering new monsters.

In Myeong-hoons case, he acquired the skill called Trapper when he entered the Normal Mode. It was a class focused on exploration activities with the skill Search, which could find things that ordinary slayers couldnt. As the current focus was on monster slaying, the Trapper class was unfamiliar to Hyun-seok.

Hyun-seok was lost in thought while watching TV.

In fact Maybe Im more satisfied with myself than other people.

Being with someone like Se-young was always beneficial for Hyun-seok. Se-young was the only person who could achieve impossible achievements, and when they hunted monsters in the same field, Hyun-seok could gain a lot of stat points. Se-young decided to join the Inha Guild without pride.

Being affiliated with the Inha Guild was advantageous for anyone. When Hyun-seok made up his mind to focus on slaying, it would open up a path for him to become stronger faster and easier than anyone else.

But Myeong-hoon had a slightly different problem from the path Hyun-seok pursued.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

In fact It might be more convenient to go solo.

For Myeong-hoon, slaying was not the main goal; exploration and investigation were. It might be more convenient for him to go solo since he was focused on searching rather than combat. No matter how skilled the combat-oriented slayers were, it didnt mean they were good at mountain climbing. They wouldnt even know where and how dungeons appeared, let alone find them. When Myeong-hoons purpose was dungeon and monster exploration, traveling with Hyun-seok might not be as advantageous as it seemed.

Of course, being with me would definitely help in quickly increasing stats.

That was certain. From the current standpoint, Hyun-seok believed that being with him was the fastest way to gain stats. It was partly true.

From Hyun-seoks perspective, slayers like Lee Myeong-hoon were a great help. Hyun-seok couldnt become stronger through conventional means. He had to become stronger through achievement systems, and finding such achievements wasnt an easy task. It required defeating non-standard monsters like Cyclops, boss monsters, or clearing dungeons.

He couldnt become stronger through ordinary slaying. Some rich players bought items from other slayers and sold them to item shops to gain experience points, but that didnt apply to Hyun-seok. His experience point system was already limited.

In that sense, having a slayer specialized in exploration and investigation would be a great help to Hyun-seok. Moreover, the Trapper class was not well-known yet. It might be a special class unique to Myeong-hoon alone.

Indeed It could be considered cheating if you could easily find dungeons. There must be a penalty for consuming a lot of stats.

It seemed that the class indeed consumed an enormous amount of stats. In that case, the conversation became easier.

I can definitely handle those stats responsibly.

At least in Normal Mode. Myeong-hoon shrugged.

Understood. Ive known that since we defeated the Twin-headed Troll. It seems like youre planning to start slaying seriously, and we can be a great help to each other.

He straightforwardly pointed out Hyun-seoks weakness.

Also, it seems like youre concentrating on achievements, which means you might be restricted in the regular experience and leveling systems. Thats why youre trying to recruit me more. And I sense that you find considerable appeal in slaying itself Am I mistaken?

Hyun-seok couldnt deny it. He was already deeply immersed in the world of slayers. The only thing he could consider fortunate was that he hadnt completely abandoned his real life yet. Hyeon-seok saw his continued work at the power plant as evidence that he hadnt completely lost himself. However, he felt strongly that he would eventually let go of even that.

Myeong-hoon said, By the way, when do you plan to quit the power plant No, never mind.

He cleared his throat and continued, Are you planning to continue working at the power plant?

He had heard Jong-won call him a geek, but he wondered if this was what made him strange. He didnt find it annoying how he casually revealed others weaknesses. It seemed to be his personality. Hyun-seok smirked.

Well, I used to say I wouldnt quit no matter what But these days, I have many concerns.
