Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 8

3. Aptitude Test (2)

“Isn’t there something wrong?”

Cha Eun-seol, who had been waiting at the entrance because it had finished a long time ago, ran to and fro.

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded.

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have sent you to go home. You didn’t have anything special, did you?”

“It’s common. I’m here because I sent you.”

Across the parking lot, her brother and sister conversed.

“Why did it take so long?”

“I didn’t believe it because there was no status window. I think it took 30 minutes to get the Mystic Cube or something.”

“Ah, so you’ve taken an aptitude test at the police station? That’s good. Whatever I was supposed to receive anyway, I solved it.”

“I don’t know if it was right. You put a square cube in your hand and it melted and it was over?”

“It’s the same with a formal inspection. I wish there was a status window.”

Two people got into the car.

Except for the police at the exit, there were only two people in the parking lot anyway, but now that it’s in a closed car, there’s no need to worry about anyone overheard.

“By the way, my brother said that there was a separate status window before. How did it go?”

“Even with the existing ones, two came to mind. Even so, I have a question about the contents of the new status window.”

Saying so, Cha Shin Hyeon opened the status window.

A letter made of light appeared on the windshield of the car.

“I mean, it’s very unfortunate. I still only see one.”

“I think I’m rather fortunate to be here. It will be difficult if you keep thinking of two things when you have something to disclose to others.”

“but. uh? Wait a minute. No class?”

Cha Eun-seol’s expression hardened a little as he read the text carefully.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was slightly impatient, called attention.

“Isn’t the more urgent thing the stats? MP is 0 and all five stats are 0.”

“Ah, that’s the way it is.”

Cha Eun-seol replied calmly.

“… … Well?”

“I did not know?”

“There was no such thing on the wiki.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had become too trusting of the wiki by watching only the wiki for three weeks, felt betrayed and murmured.

Cha Eun-seol laughed.

“There is no way that an encyclopedia can contain everything. Not a verified encyclopedia like Britannica.”

“You were the one who asked me to get information from the wiki.”

“Well, yes, though.”

Cha Eun-seol shrugged his shoulders.“Anyway, the first start is from 0. To be precise, since there are 1 points that can be distributed, it starts from 1. The sum of the stats is always the same as the summed level. MP increases accordingly when you take stats.”

“Is it like that?”

“Huh. Status window, level and stats revealed!”

Level: Archer 25 / Sniper 6

Stat List: Allocable Points 0

Strength 5 / Durability 9 / Agility 15 / Intuition 1 / Spirit 1

Cha Eun-seol said while showing the stat window.

“look. If you add all the levels, it’s 31, and if you add all the stats, it’s 31.”

“It really is. I knew what else was wrong.”

“Whether it’s a slender middle school girl or a muscular gym trainer, everyone starts at 0 equally, so don’t worry. Stats are a plus concept. It’s not that the durability is 0, it’s not a piece of paper that breaks like a piece of paper when touched, it just means that the current body hasn’t become “extra” strong.”

“Hoo.”

“So the problem is not the stats. class.”

Cha Eun-seol cut it off and said.

“Do you know about classes?”

“Of course. … … As long as it is on the wiki.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, remembering what had just happened, added later.

There are 6 class classifications for human beings on Earth who have been given the power to fight monsters through the status window. I don’t know if it’s because HP, MP, stats and skills exist like RPGs, but the classes are also similar to those of an RPG.

If there is a difference, unlike the game, the class in reality is not chosen by the user, but is given the moment the status window is given by the Mystic Cube. It is possible to change to a higher class, but it cannot be changed to another class at all.

Warriors. A warrior who fights monsters with weapons or bare hands.

Shielder. A shield that blocks attacks from the front and protects allies.

Wizard. A wizard who embodies mysterious and supernatural phenomena.

Cleric. A priest who blesses allies with holy power.

Archer. An archer who supports from a distance with a bow.

Assassin. A shadow that assassinates enemies by using special talents.

The sound that you received the class means that your talent and aptitude are that way.

It’s a corporation that naturally becomes fun if you do something you’re good at, so there were some people who were disappointed because they didn’t get the class they wanted, but they tend to adapt quickly.

The problem doesn’t come from ‘not getting what you want’, but ‘not getting what you want’.

The 6th class is not given to all mankind. As a percentage, it’s not even 0.1%.

Although almost all of those who received the class are engaged in the hunter job, one of the reasons why the number of hunters themselves is smaller than expected is that the number of people who received the class in the first place is small.

So what about the other 99.9%?

They are not given a class. So it’s no class.

As written on Cha Shin Hyeon’s status bar.

“Each class has a role to play when attacking dungeons, but no class… … The story is a bit different. Because I didn’t get a class at all.”

“But I heard that the number of no-class hunters is also considerable. Isn’t it?”

“That is true. Maybe about 4 to 6? The no-class side has more heads.”

Cha Eun-seol nodded her head.

“But the treatment is different. In terms of military organization, no-class is a non-commissioned officer, and a class holder is an officer? The threshold that can be raised is different, and the position within the organization is different.”

“Is it discrimination?”

“I don’t really ignore it. However, it is very difficult to level up due to the limitations of the no-class, so there are very few people with high levels. So, there are only a few people who are treated more than a certain degree.”

“If it’s a no-class, it seems that you lack talent.”

Unlike the game, Hunter’s level does not rise at the same speed. Even with the same amount of effort, people with great talent will level up quickly and become strong quickly, and those with less talent will not rise well.

If it’s a no-class, it’s said that he has no aptitude for anything, so maybe it’s because he lacks talent as a hunter?

Cha Shin Hyeon asked the question in that sense. However, Cha Eun-seol’s answer was a little different.

“Rather than necessarily… … My brother also wants to become a hunter, so he should be aware of this.”

Cha Eun-seol said it was very important.

“Hunters gain experience by killing monsters and level up. Of course, experience is not displayed anywhere, and the experience required to level up varies from person to person.”

“I know that.”

“But the process of gaining that experience is not the end of killing a monster by hitting it last. It is presumed that the experience points are shared depending on how much you contributed to the monster’s HP reduction.”

“Even if several people catch one, the experience points are distributed according to the amount of damage each inflicted. It’s like a contribution system.”

“right. But the problem is that ‘damage inflicted’ has to be damage done by ‘skill’.”

“what?”

Cha Shin Hyeon frowned.

“For example, suppose your brother enters a dungeon with a machine gun. Can you kill weak monsters with a gun? Then if you scratch it with a machine gun, the monsters won’t be annihilated. But no matter how much you kill monsters like that, you don’t get any experience points. That’s why hunters don’t use guns.”

“Skills must consume resources every time they are used, right?”

“Active skills are like that. Because it consumes MP.”

“Then you mean you have to keep pouring your skills into each monster? If you cut your stamina in other ways than skills, you will lose that much experience.”

“Do you think so? But if you take the class, there is no problem.”

Cha Eun-seol brought up her status window again.

Skill List: (Close)

Archery / Strong Poetry / Wind Waves / Scattered Poetry / Kang Tan Poetry / Clairvoyance / Sniper / Sunbo / Line Poetry

“For example, in the case of the Archer class, there are basic skills called ‘Archery’ and ‘Gangshi’ from level 1. Kangshi is an active skill that consumes MP to increase the power of arrows, and archery is a passive skill that allows you to shoot a bow better as the skill level goes up… … Of course, this applies to ‘when using a bow’.”

“That means…”

“right. You don’t have to use a skill that consumes MP, and you can get experience points even if you shoot arrows hard, or simply hit a normal hit. The same goes for other classes. A warrior will receive experience points just by using a sword, and a wizard just by using magic.”

“Wait a minute. I don’t have any skills?”

“That’s why it’s difficult for no-class to level up.”

Cha Eun-seol smiled bitterly.

Cha Shin Hyeon questioned in bewilderment.

“I don’t think it’s that difficult? There is no skill itself, whether passive or active, so how do you get experience?”

“You have to pay for it.”

“······money?”

“It will be long to explain, so to put it simply, you can buy a skill cube for money and learn a skill. If you buy a basic passive skill with that and learn it, you will be able to start on the same line as the class holder.”“How much do you do?”

“The least popular ‘Martial Arts’ would be around 2,000? The most popular ‘swordsmanship’ will probably do about 2,500.”

“Is the unit ten thousand won?”

“Then it will be two thousand won.”

“·················ogue.”

Cha Shin Hyeon was speechless.

2 million won? Guys with classes have basic skills that are worth the price of one car!

“No-class is basically people who cannot work as hunters, so it’s like the initial investment cost to become a hunter.”

“Can I buy a house with just a few investments?”

“That’s why no-class hunters don’t earn much money as hunters. There are no classes, so no matter how much you level up, there are no skills that are automatically learned, and in the end, you have to buy skill cubes with money to learn them. It’s like martial arts, it’s a basic skill, so it’s cheap. A good skill is billions if you do anything. But if you don’t learn the skills, you’re weak compared to your level, so it’s directly related to survival.”

That’s why no-class is embarrassing.

You can only start by spending tens of thousands of won from the start, but you have to keep pouring money to become strong. Although the risk of failure or death by monsters is shared equally with the class holder.

No-class hunters are those who really feel rewarded in their job as a hunter, or who want to make money even if it is a risk because it does not need to be a huge amount.

It was the version that Cha Shin Hyeon would feel the sadness they felt from now on.

If he doesn’t have any money, who will he have to spend to become a hunter? He has to take tens of thousands of won from his sister’s bank account!

“If you don’t just buy a skill…….”

“If you don’t have skills, you can’t level up at all, and there’s no way to issue a Hunter license to someone who can’t level up, right? You must have at least one.”

“Is that so…”

Cha Shin Hyeon let out a sigh of relief.

Cha Eun-seol comforted him with a cheerful tone.

“Don’t be too sloppy. To be honest, it’s surprising to me that your brother is a no-class, but that doesn’t change the fact that the most suitable job for you is a hunter, right?”

It was natural because it did not mean that there was no specification that was not judged as a no-class.

There were still only hunters who could effectively use force without looking at the specs at all.

“Then can you do it? Even if it costs money, go that way. I can’t tell my brother to come steal money, the bank won’t lend it to me, and I can’t tell him to use bonds either. So I’m borrowing it. That’s the best.”

“However… … 20 million won is still a bit…”

“Isn’t it cheaper to pay college tuition for four years or cut off public service academy in Noryangjin until you pass? Think of it as investing in your brother. If you think the money is not worth it, you can quickly become a full-fledged hunter and pay it back. Pay a lot of interest! how?”

“······I’m sorry.”

Cha Shin Hyeon bowed her head, feeling the tragic feeling of her grown-up sister’s words.

I don’t even have a house in her sister’s name, food, clothes, pocket money, and cell phone.

It was even more miserable because of Moorim’s memory, who had never felt financially short in decades since rising to the ranks of masters.

‘money… … What’s his money…!’

Cha Shin Hyeon bit her lip, unnecessarily expressing anger at the system of capitalism.

It was humiliating, but now I had to put up with it. Her sister is right. If you have to spend money on anything you do anyway, you should invest and choose a path that will yield results. Don’t waste money.

“Do not repay this favor tenfold. must.”

Even if the monster’s seeds are dried, it will be repaid in the near future.

Cha Shin Hyeon clenched her fists and decided.
