Chapter 23

“Uh, Agent. I got a new skill. ”
“Really? What skill? ”
“It’s a marksmanship. I’ll check it out. Wait a minute.”
Sang-woo brings up the status window.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
[Marksmanship (Lv.1)/Permanent]: Powers up when handling firearms.
Phage, Rapid Speed Slightly Faster
Slightly increases the loading speed.
Targeting speed slightly faster.
Targeting accuracy increases marginally.
Slightly increases reaction control.

“I noticed it’s a passive skill that calibrates your shooting. ”
“Oh, shooting skills! That’s a good skill. Shooting is always useful. And if you want to shoot some hunters, that’s your national skill. ”
“Is that right? That’s good. ”
Sang-woo is still an F rank hunter.
Although the self-immolation defeated Fishman, a Class E monster, it was only a “Boo Boo” with less than one stat against the highest grade E.
As long as these low-rank hunters have no special skills, guns are the best weapon and defense.
“Yes, you are. And marksmanship, as I understand it, is more open when you level up your skills. I heard you can attack with magic in your bullets. ”
“Are you a magician? Awesome. Then I’ll have to work hard to level up my skills. Do we have to shoot everything from now on? ”
“That’s great, but I don’t think Hunter needs to be all in marksmanship because it’s the choice of most hunters who are difficult to level up their skills. If you focus on marksmanship, you become a long-distance dealer, and the higher your rank, the harder it will be to party hunting or hunt. So it’s important to improve your skills evenly. It will be a million times easier to improve your skills because you have self-immolation anyway. ”
Sang-woo nodded at her reasonable words.
‘Yes, because the first time I got self-immolation was to have the best specs among the Awakened. ’
That’s why I’ve been trained to level up all my abilities.
By rolling up the identities, of course.
“And a solo hammer hunter who can deal and tank is expensive. So be a little more agitated, Hunter. ”
Kang Joon-mo smiled with a meaningful smile.
‘What? That smile, which is expected to be tough going forward. ’
Sang-woo was somewhat spooky.

1st Guild in the country, Comet Guild Prison.
A single monitor was illuminating itself in a dark office with no one to go home to.
The man shining on the blue monitor light was Shin Jin-wook, the leader of the first strike team of the Comet Guild.
He was opening a letter.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Title: Heh h h h h h h h h h.
From: Lee Ji-hoon
To: Park Cheol-ho

The mail was an information file for domestic hunters that Shin Jin-wook periodically received from Hunter Association officials.
It could have been through an informant, but it was received directly because the quality was different from the material obtained through the Hunter Association itself.
‘The mail isn’t in my name, but just in case. ’
Shin Jin-wook downloaded the file and deleted the mail with her accustomed fingertips.
Then open the file.
It contained demographic information about all people with Hunter certifications in the country and data about their registered skills.
Millions of hunters registered.
‘Except for those who have already signed a contract · · · and a little bit · ·. ’
Shin Jin-wook filtered and rearranged the data several times.
Then a list of Class F Hunters who had learned special skills appeared on the screen.
“Let’s see if we can recruit some. ”
Yes, it is.
Shin Jin-wook was pulling out a list of scouts.
He had been doing it himself for years without having asked the Comet Guild Scouts to do it because he had obtained information through an illegal route.
Of course, it was also because of Shin Jin-wook’s tendency to work directly.
‘Summon bats, exfoliate, fluidize · · · all are rubbish. Pass · · · This is also pass · · ·. ’
It was when they were filtering out hunters with skills they had for so long.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Name: Chungwoo
Age: 21 years
Grade: F
Skill: Renaissance
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
There was Sang-woo’s information.
‘· · · Renaissance? ’
Shin Jin-wook who is interested for a while.
He had seen a hunter use self-immolation the other day.
‘· · · I think it was on TV. It was glamorous, I guess.’
The hunter had the skills to summon a self-portrait that looked just like him.
It was a spectacular skill, a spectacular one, in which dozens of visions were summoned to form a swarm.
‘But it has no power. This is also a pass.’
When I remembered that actually power was zero, Shin Jin-wook passed on to the next.
Sang-woo was forgotten.
* * *
Sang-woo followed Kang Joon-woo’s advice to schedule the training and hunting of self-immolations.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
* 07: 00 – 11: 59
Sang-woo: Wake up. Summon Self-Defense (Renaissance Skill Training).
Reclaimed self-immolation: self-harm for regenerative training. Afterwards, the gym near Sang-woo House
Remaining self-immolation: self-harm for regenerative training. Then I went to the gym and practiced martial arts.
* 12: 00 – 00: 00
Sang-woo: I feel like manana breathing school at 8 pm. Family skill training when bored.
Self-defense: she picks you up and sends you hunting.
* 00: 00 – 07: 00
Sang-woo: Sleep well
Self-Running: Training for Skill Acquisition (Hammering, Running)
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Schedule with some established system.
Until then, I had the self-immolated body exercise for a few hours and then did something else. When I suddenly remembered, I did other training and it was like that, but now I have a system.
Kang Jun Mo also wanted Sang-woo to train, but Sang-woo firmly refused.
“If you train together, you’ll be able to grow at a great pace. ”
“That’s going to be replaced by self-immolation. ”
Will Sang-woo’s laziness disappear in an instant, giving rise to his Renaissance skills?
Even though she didn’t give up.
Once the schedule is set, the command becomes very simple.
I woke up in the morning and I said to myself, “Reschedule yesterday.”
Then the self-immolation repeats yesterday’s work.
Of course, there were occasional problems, but at that time, I was contacted immediately by Kang Joon-woo. I had to slightly correct the command every time.
That’s why Sang-woo hasn’t done much work lately because he doesn’t need to move his body around.
Except for college life, I have more time.
Sang-woo spent most of his spare time playing.
I don’t play these games these days, so I experience meeting my friends at that time, doing SNS or community activities, breathing Mana or hunting with my family skills (?) or enjoying it.
“Hey, Mid! Come on, gang! ”
“I’m just gonna eat this one, asshole. Wait.”
“No, if you’re going to do it, do it anyway. ”
“I can’t hear you!”
Sang-woo played a game with comrades and comrades, including Han Chang Kyong.
At the end of the day, Sang-woo and his friends left the PC room and entered a nearby restaurant.
While I was waiting for food, I said a few words.
“Shark, haven’t you been studying lately? ”
“Am I? Am I? ”
“Well, when I look at you, you’re always humming or sleeping with that thumb girl on your phone. ”
Sang-woo looked back on his life these days.
1. I get up in the morning, snoop around, summon myself, give some commands, and wander to campus in time for class.
2. When it’s time for Ha-yeon to rest while taking a class, she replies and plays. When Ha-yeon goes to study again, I take a class and see what the family skills are doing for a while.
3. I go to lunch at lunch time.
4. When empty, go to PC room or karaoke room.
5. After class that day, I play with my friends or have a drink on a day when Ha-yeon has no classes.
Sang-woo nods, hands on his chin.
“Hmm · · I’m sure I’ve been a little lazy lately. ”
“A little? A little frozen to death. I’m terrified. You lazy bastard. ”
“That’s right, Shark. You need to study. What are you gonna do with your credit later? ”
Speaking of credits that university students were afraid of, Sang-woo was no longer impressed.
Why? I’ve already been a hunter, and I’ve been making some amazing money.
“All you have to do is get a full ride and graduate. ”
“Huh? You don’t want a programmer? ”
“Well, didn’t I tell you? Actually, I’m Hunter. ”
Sang-woo’s sudden confession.
The restaurant was static.
And after a while.
“Fuck you. If you’re a hunter, I’m an S rank hunter. ”
“I am a dragon. ”
“I am the Jade Emperor. ”
“Asshole.”
I didn’t trust anyone.
Sang-woo smiled.
Then I shrugged my shoulders.
“Believe it or not. This guy’s going to be great, you guys. ”
“Ew! Confidence. ”
“It must have gone bad. Nurse Kim, how long have you been off this patient’s meds? ”
“It’s been a week. Doctor.”
A virtuous (?) were friends.
I ate all the food, laughing and talking, and Sang-woo did the math.
Then they broke up in front of the restaurant.
Longitude and Sang-woo’s direction of the house were the same, so they were returning to their room.
At that time, hardness opened his mouth.
“Hey, how long have you been active? ”
“Hmm? What? ”
“Hunter. ”
Gyeongdo seemed to believe Sang-woo’s words.
“Oh, it’s almost a month now. Not long.”
“I have several ratings. ”
“It’s all the same when you register for the first time. Class F, but do you believe me? ”
Then longitude said, placing her arms on the shoulders of Sang-woo.
“Hey, when you lie, your eyes are always looking up and left. Don’t you know how many years this brother has known you and how to lie and tell the truth? ”
“Oh, I’m touched. ”
“Oh, and you’ve been paying for all this food lately. Did you make some money? ”
“Huh, shall I show you? Wait.”
Sang-woo opened his smartphone excitedly and ran the banking app.
[Balance: 27,516,830 won]
The balance is 27 million won.
Recently, Tongzan’s balance was 21 million won, but when he bought his family skills in installments for 3 months, he added more than 60 million won out of the poor 50 million won.
Since Kang Joon-Mo agreed to exclude money from the settlement, she had not received any commission recently, and even though she had spent a lot of money (sometimes buying food or alcohol was a lot of money in Sang-woo’s view), the money increased.
Sang-woo boasted of his smartphone to Gyeong.
“Ta-da! There are 2700 of them. Are you jealous?”
“· · · 30 million won · · ·? What is this?”
“Hmm? Why three grand? ”
Sang-woo looked at his smartphone again in the words of longitude.
A new notification pop-up appeared on my smartphone.
