Chapter 94: Ju Sung-Taek (1)

Ryu Mins gaze fixated on an item featured in a sales listing.

[Seller: dontgo95]

[Inquiry: Available]

[Chat: Available]

[Transaction Method: In-person only]

[Transaction Location: Suwon]

Undoubtedly, this is the item we need for the Legendary Combination.

Beyond Unique, the next level was Legendary, yet Ryu Min had initially excluded it for a compelling reason.

And that reason was rather straightforward.

Obtaining Legendary materials at this early point is impossible.

Not entirely impossible, but immensely challenging.

Theres only one place where obtaining a piece of Immortal skin seems remotely feasible.

That place was none other than the 5th round boss, the High Orc.

The exceedingly rare chance of acquiring the Immortal skin piece upon defeating that powerful boss was widely acknowledged.

The High Orc was far from an easy boss to conquer, even surpassing the strength of the 6th round boss, the Minotaur.

But did he really manage to kill the boss and obtain this material through sheer luck?

Certainly, luck played a part, but without the skill to match, it remained an unattainable feat.

So, who might it be? Who possesses the prowess to defeat a High Orc?

Several names floated through his thoughts.

Among them, one particular name seemed to linger in his mind.

Could it possibly be him?

An individual skilled enough to conquer the High Orc and in possession of the [Rune of the Drop].

If the person he suspected was indeed the seller, this item might be a bait

A rather risky one, at that.

Considering that only in-person transactions are available I should send a message to find out.

Before finalizing the purchase, Ryu Min initiated a chat.

[Buyer: Hello. Are you the one selling the piece of Immortal skin?]

This was an item that dropped after defeating the 5th round boss, the High Orc.

He had struggled mightily to take down the High Orc, thinking he was a goner. Who would have thought that the High Orc was such a strong monster?

Trying to gulp down an item he had worked so hard to obtain for a mere 800,000 won?

This guy really wants to meet his end.

When had it ever been a non-lethal rendezvous?

Sure, he had been planning to eliminate them anyway, but this individual was different.

You wont meet a peaceful end if we ever cross paths, you little shi*t

Ju Sung-taek, gritting his teeth and setting his phone aside, was momentarily taken aback.

It was because he heard the labored breath of someone on the brink of death beneath him.

P-please spare me.

Heh, quite the actor, arent you? Whats this? Youre not dead yet?

The middle-aged man in his 40s, who had been lying prone, managed to lift his head slightly.

In his current condition, with his limbs severed, it was the best he could do.

P-please s-save. me.

Save me is too informal.

G-give me a chance. like this. Ugch

Thud!

Ju Sung-taeks dagger pierced through the middle-aged mans throat.

Youre saying some ridiculous things. Tsk. You scared the hell out of me.

He hadnt known that the man would still be alive even after having his limbs severed.

In any case, that guy is as good as dead when he shows up.

It wasnt just talk; if the buyer actually came, hed kill them.

After all, the item had been bait for that purpose.

Thats why he had let it go with a 20% discount.

It wasnt something he intended to sell anyway.

Why sell it? Do you know how much I suffered to obtain it? If I wanted to sell it, I wouldnt do it for dog food money.

He didnt know what the item was used for, but it could be used to lure people.

Why? To lure them?

Because it was fun.

No, to be precise, because life had become boring.

Thats how life is.
