Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 46

17. Jeju Island (2)

“… … We are willing to cooperate as long as the rewards are sufficient.”

Cha Shin Hyeon smiled faintly.

I don’t know if it’s an exclusivity or if she’s proud of her independence, but Tamra seemed extremely wary of joining hands with Twilight or Dawn and then being absorbed and merged.

No matter how closely related to Dawning in reality, there was no room for interference in Dawning, as Cha Shin Hyeon himself said that it can be considered separately.

And Mugeuk is a one-man guild.

No matter how talented Cha Shin Hyeon is, she seems to think that at least an equal relationship can be established because the size difference is so serious.

It was a pretty reasonable decision.

‘Well, if you eat it, you can eat it.’

Cha Shin Hyeon is one but not one. Even if the entire Tamra Guild attacks, it can be lightly trampled on. If you like, you can press it with force.

Yes, it doesn’t mean anything, so I don’t.

Even if he rules Tamna, he is the king of Jeju Island. Cha Shin Hyeon wasn’t interested in playing house like that. He was fortunate for Tamra.

Anyway, when Cha Shin Hyeon responded positively, Ha-geun Kim was happy.

“First, let me tell you about the current situation.”

Kim Ha-geun opened his mouth.

“There are a total of six dungeons with a risk level of 11 or higher across Jeju Island.”

“Six places?”

Cha Shin Hyeon showed a surprising reaction.

“It’s a lot. Jeju Island is not that big.”

The area of Jeju Island is less than 2% of the country. In terms of ratio, it is normal to have at least one or two high-risk dungeons, right?

“Actually, when Tamna was first launched, there was only one high-risk dungeon on Jeju Island. Until then, I was able to cope.”

The absence of a high-ranking hunter does not mean that high-risk dungeons cannot be conquered at all. You just have to push it positively.

“But four years ago, there was another one, and two years ago, it gradually increased to one every half a year. So, all of a sudden, there were six.”

Thanks to the constant creation of high-risk dungeons, Tamna’s mid-level hunters leveled up very quickly.

Even if a level 50 hunter catches a monster alone with a group of 40 level 40 monsters, he receives more experience points than catching a level 40 level monster.

But that’s enough.

The speed at which high-risk dungeons increased was faster than the speed at which mid-level hunters grew.

“Actually, nothing will happen if you leave the dungeon alone… … . It’s like watching the number of wild beasts in cages keep growing. Don’t be shy.”

“The more objects accumulate, the more difficult it becomes to clear them later.”

“Yes. So I was subjugating even partially… … That’s a limitation too. To be honest, it was beyond our processing power once we got past five. Because the number of monsters is increasing more than the number we kill.”

Kim Ha-geun sighed.

“And most of the hunters, although it’s a bit embarrassing to say directly, are they who want wealth and fame in exchange for risking their lives.”

“Yes.”

“But now, the situation is almost like a monster-blocking machine. There are a lot of people who complain of fatigue because they keep hunting without any spare time.”

No matter how much money you give, you are not the only one who suffers from overtime and overtime work. Just as many people prefer to leave work on time even if they receive less money, so did the hunters in Tamna. It’s okay to level up a little slower, so I wanted to rest.

“So that’s why you called me?”

“Yes. Cha Shin Hyeon is someone who can do the job of dozens of mid-level hunters, so we should be able to rotate. That alone will reduce a lot of complaints.”

“Hmm.”Cha Shin Hyeon can get money and experience by receiving a dungeon, and Tamra can get a break. Both were beneficial.

“If you are considering rotation, you seem to think that the contract period is quite long.”

“To some extent, yes. I would like you to attack at least 6 dungeons at least once, but since I said I would go one every five days, I’m keeping it for about a month. Of course, we don’t know what will happen in the meantime, so the actual contract or settlement is done in units of dungeons.”

“great.”

It was not for nothing that I wrote a contract in a strange way and pierced my nose.

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded.

“What do you think about distribution?”

“When we attack the dungeon, a few hunters on our side will support each other. The profit generated in the dungeon is 8 to 2. Of course, Cha Shin Hyeon is 8.

“It’s fine. That’s enough.”

“Really, in addition to money, I would like to share some experience points as well. It would be difficult if the growth of the Hunters stopped altogether.”

“It can’t be cut exactly like money. I will take it as a sign of giving way to monsters in moderation.”

“Yes. Yes, you can.”

As a result, a mutually satisfactory contract was concluded.

The two shook hands lightly.

* * *

Three days later, Saturday.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was alone on a leisurely tour of Jeju Island, was contacted and headed for his first dungeon.

“nice to see you. This is Min Ki-yong, the guild leader of ‘Harubang’.”

Thirty men greeted Cha Shin Hyeon warmly.

If Tamra is the federal government of the United States, is Hareubang the state of Florida? It was one of the five most influential guilds in the Tamra Guild, an association.

Since the guild members were suffering from high-risk dungeons as much as their skills were good, Min Ki-yong’s attitude toward Cha Shin Hyeon was supreme.

“I saw it through the screen, but I did a good job at the Great Battle at the Taeyang Festival. What a wonderful thing!”

Of course, there were personal reasons for this.

For a level 40 hunter, a high-ranking hunter was a respectable existence that could have done just a little bit more, but had overcome the really difficult wall.

“It’s overrated. I was just lucky.”

Cha Shin Hyeon was moderately humble.

The four members of the Hareubang guild, including Cha Shin Hyeon, entered the dungeon while exchanging simple conversations in a soft atmosphere.

Paah!

A dark darkness enveloped the surroundings, then released.

The moment I stepped into the dungeon, an unpleasant air rushed in. It was an unpleasant wind, full of heat and moisture.

The place where I am standing is an empty space that is smaller than the elementary school playground.

Outside, trees, trees, trees… … No matter where you look, you can see only trees.

“As you can see, the natural environment of this dungeon is a jungle.”

Min Ki-yong explained.

“It is very painful because it obscures my vision and interferes with my movement. Fortunately, we forcibly destroyed this area to make it look like a small vacant lot.”

“The more you break, the more comfortable it becomes, doesn’t it?”

“Yeah, but even when I try to put out the fire, those trees don’t catch fire strangely. If you destroy them one by one, the reproduction rate is fast, so the next time you visit, they will be restored quickly.”

“Even if you don’t like it, you have to explore the jungle.”

“Yes. Fortunately, there are no poisonous insects or poisonous snakes. There are only monsters as animals.”

Before leaving, the Hareubang guild members drove something like an iron skewer into the ground near the starting point. It’s a magic tool for location tracking.

It was a necessary tool for returning to the entrance from a place like this, where it is easy to get lost when entering the forest.

“It doesn’t matter which direction you go, but for now, I’ll go in the opposite direction from last time.”

Weaving a formation, they began to move.

In front is the Assassin Min Ki-yong. At the center are Archer, Cleric, and Cha Shin Hyeon, known as the Wizard. Shielder followed behind.

Cha Shin Hyeon asked a question about leaving the vacant lot and entering the forest.

“How far does this forest go?”

“Actually, we don’t even know how wide it is.”

Min Ki-yong said sarcastically.

“There are so many monsters just by hunting without going too deep… … After repeating moving and chasing, this side gets tired first and stops attacking.”

“It seems to be influenced a lot by topography. If it was flat, it would have been easier.”

“Yes. Especially since the monsters here are very specialized in the jungle.”

“Approaching at 2 o’clock!”

At that moment, Archer, who had been vigilant around, shouted.

Of course, he was aware of it in advance, but Cha Shin Hyeon pretended not to know and looked in the direction.

swish! swish!

Dozens of monsters approached them while jumping from tree to tree.

It is about 1 meter in size. Overall, it resembles a chubby monkey. But, strangely, the tip of the tail was not round, but something pointed like a harpoon.

“You look really good at wood.”

While Cha Shin Hyeon was muttering, Archer fired an arrow.

The three arrows cut through the air almost simultaneously.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

However, the monkey’s reaction is not usually agile. Perhaps they felt the flow of air, each of them flew their bodies and took an evasive action.

Cheeky!

One arrow was pierced right in the forehead, but the other was hit in the leg, and the other escaped altogether.

“As you can see, it’s very agile. For now, we call it bulldog monkey.”

“bulldog? You don’t look alike at all?”

“Not a dog breed, in the sense of fire and poison. I will deal with it first.”

Min Ki-yong flew with his sword, which was less than 60 centimeters long, and pulled out a sword belonging to the short axis. Like an Assassin who uses agility as the main stat along with the Archer, he moved very quickly.

Just in time, Cleric blessed the entire party.

Min Ki-yong, who climbed up the tree in an instant with his even faster movements, threw his sword at the bulldog monkey.

Scratch!

The blade cut through the monkey’s body.

In the midst of that, the monkey quickly pulled back and escaped death, but an arrow from the archer that flew right after it pierced its head and disappeared as ashes.

Kaaaah!

A few monkeys roared in anger and opened their mouths.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was watching the game, caught a magical power.‘Oh?’

With an open mouth, not exactly inside the mouth, but a little in front of it, the magical force gathers and changes.

Whoops!

The monkeys spewed fire from their mouths.

Thanks to the prediction, Min Ki-yong escaped safely, but the firepower of the flame was not normal. If the wood was a flammable type, a fire would have occurred immediately.

Meanwhile, the other monkeys aimed at Archer, who had already been shooting arrows.

Their tails were firmly erected. A harpoon-like tail aimed at Archer. This time, the magical powers gathered at the tip of its pointed tail.

Baba Baba Bak!

Eventually, the refined energy turned into a black-purple sword and was shot. Looking at the shape, I think it would be better to call it spear.

Archer took a step back, and at the same time Shielder quickly jumped forward. It was a position to protect Cha Shin Hyeon, Archer, and Cleric at once.

profit!

The shield and the lance collided.

Shielder’s own skill and Cleric’s protection overlapped and there was no damage, but purple smoke rose from the surface of the shield. traces of poison

“Really, that’s why he’s a bulldog.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded his head quietly.

As Min Ki-yong approached, he didn’t have much power and was immediately hit, so the Bulldog Monkey’s close combat ability seemed to be of little value.

However, he is quick enough to dodge Archer’s arrows to some extent, and he fires strong flames and fires poisonous arrows that are difficult to deal with.

Moreover, he is helping the monkeys even to the place.

No matter how superhuman physical abilities are, a person does not become good at climbing trees. On the other hand, it is my world to the monkeys.

Among the classes that are not bound by such complex terrain, there are only Assassins and Rangers among archers. Before judging the strength of each bulldog monkey, the environment is not good.

In one close encounter, Cha Shin Hyeon caught most of it.

Then there was nothing more to see.

“Mr. Kiyong Min! May I help you?”

“Isn’t that something I’m going to talk about? You have to do what you want.”

“Then excuse me for a moment.”

As soon as the words were finished, Cha Shin Hyeon’s magical power was pushed forward.

profit?

Cheeky!

Perhaps they felt the energy of magic, and the monkeys left Busan, but it was already too late.

Whoa!

The magic that spread widely became a net in an instant and caught all the bulldog monkeys.

It was flame magic.
