Evolution Theory of the Hunter Chapter 110

I came out of the exit with my teammates . Once outside, we could hear people whispering to each other .

It seemed like the fact that we cleared the dungeon had already been spread to some degree .

Was this something to be so surprised about though? Even if the dungeon had appeared just yesterday, there’s no way this was the first time it had been cleared .

“Senior brother, there…… . ”

“Hm?”

At the place Soo-ah pointed at where several people in suits approaching us .

The only people that wore suits at a place like this were government officials . In other words, the Dungeon Administration Team .

“I am called Lee Jong-hyun of the administration team . Might you be Jun Sang-min?”

Among them, the one that seemed to be in his 30s and had a rather fit body started talking first .

“That is so . What is your business? We have been in the dungeon for too long but I was planning on paying the fine…… . ”

“No, we’re not here for that matter . We heard from the two that came out first that Jun Sang-min’s party had cleared the dungeon . ”

“That is true . ”

“Do you mind having an interview?”

“Yes?”

What the h.e.l.l was this about? About an interview .

“Ah . It’s nothing much . There’s was no party that was able to clear this dungeon you see . We wanted to hear the clearing process and the detailed method . Of course, you will be given appropriate compensation . ”

“We’re the first you say?”

That didn’t make much sense . It was only a level 4 dungeon . The Dungeon Administration Team should have high level hunters and they would have tried going in .

As if having read my expression, he opened his mouth .

“The hunters under the administration team is at the Yellow Sea you see…… . ”

“Ah . That’s what it was . ”

The appearance of a new dungeon was big news as well but the importance of the Yellow Sea was still high .

It wasn’t only the monsters but the land itself that had a large amount of potential .

Since it was said that they were in the process of researching food production and such with the information I gave them, the value of the Yellow Sea would skyrocket .

This meant that we would not have to yield to China who had used food supply as their weapon . Due to that situation, the government shoving in all the hunters available to the Yellow Sea was understandable .

I turned to look at my teammates . They didn’t look like they had any particular misgivings .

The terrain inside the dungeon or the method of fighting the monsters, the existence of a boss monster and how to take care of it were all things that were fine to reveal .

It wasn’t information that could be sold for money and it wasn’t something I could monopolize either .

If hunters became able to strengthen their overall power a bit more and then enter the dungeon, then it would be possible to prevent some unnecessary damage .

“So you’re saying that a stone statue turned into a boss monster?”

Lee Jung-hyun said . I nodded to confirm once more . I told him everything besides the trouble with Song Han-sol and the items I got .

It was information that would spread even if I kept quiet .

Another side was continuously taking pictures . I was told not to worry about it but there was no way I couldn’t be .

“My face really isn’t being revealed yes?”

“Yes, it will only be used as reference in the internal conference . The people above like having pictures after all . ”

“Hm…… That doesn’t seem like a nice thing either though . ”

“Haha . Please don’t worry . Either way, you’re an unusual person . People normally want to make a article appear . ”

It was better the more well known hunters were .

It was something that already happened at the Yellow Sea, but if you were well known it was possible to gather many people and people asked to join the party .

If it went over a certain level it was even possible to appear in TV shows . There were even quite a few people that went on to become celebrities from being a hunter .

Of course, there were some that were the opposite case . There were celebrities that used the money they earned to buy equipment and skills to do hunter work .

Some did it for fun while others did it for rewriting their image . However, it was mostly done by male celebrities that wanted to avoid going to the army .

This was because it was possible to apply for alternative service if one became a level 3 hunter .

I knew best how good it actually was . I also did the alternative service after all .

While porters like me went into dungeons every day of the week, hunters would only go in once or twice a week .

At such an age, the ones that could become a level 3 hunter or higher were usually the children of rich families or high ranking officials so they didn’t go clear dungeons often either . There was no easier job than this easy job .

“Mr . Jun Sang-min?”

“Ah . I apologize . I was just thinking about something else . ”

“Haha . I wonder what you were thinking about . ”

“I had done the alternative service at the Dungeon Administration Team . I suddenly remembered that . ”

“Ah . Is that so? Where did you work?”

“I worked near Mun-Gyeong . Thanks to that, I had been to every single dungeon in the Gyeong-Book region . ”

“You were a level 3 hunter already? That’s impressive . ”

“Ah, no . I was a porter . ”

“A porter?”

Lee Jung-hyun’s pupils shook for a moment . The alternative service was just a few years ago, and I who was a porter at that time had cleared a level 4 dungeon . He was probably wondering if I was lying .

“…… I remember you saying that there was a level 6 centaur in the dungeon . Are you saying that you were able to become a level 6 hunter from a porter in just a few years?”

This much of a response was a matter of course . I would have asked so even if it was me . But it was a fact that I did not have to say every single matter . In these situations I needed to push forward with force .

This much of a response was a matter of course . I would have asked so even if it was me . But it was a fact that I did not have to say every single matter . In these situations I needed to push forward with force .

It was already true that I had cleared the dungeon and I didn’t need to do such an interview after all .

The one that would have regrets was the other side not me .

“Are you doubting me?”

“More than doubting…… It’s just a little hard to believe . ”

The words were said carefully but the expression was not so . It was openly showing doubt . If it’s like this then even I get a bit annoyed . I was thinking about just leaving but Soo-ah got up first .

Her expression was pretty scarey .

“What did you just say?”

“It’s vital for this kind of information to have credibility . There needs to be some form of evidence for it to be trusted…… . ”

“Why should we do this interview if you’re not even going to trust what we say?”

“When did I ever say that I didn’t trust you?”

“Your expression is saying exactly that . It’s a face of complete disbelief . ”

“No, I don’t think that’s something to get angry about though . ”

The atmosphere was becoming pretty bad . Did I have to calm her down .

“It’s not something to get angry about? You called us and treat us like liars and you expect us to stay calm?”

“Like I said, when did I ever say so?”

“You just said so!”

“Oh boy . Then can you believe it? He was able to become a level 6 hunter from being a porter in a few years? It’s not like I’m an idiot . You could have just said that you don’t want to tell me honestly, isn’t this going a bit overboard?”

“So you’re finally admitting it . ”

“Well, then give some evidence or something then . ”

Lee Jung-hyun’s face became red . Soo-ah stared at him while biting her lips . It was not something that should have gotten this heated about though .

I first put my hand on her shoulder to calm her down .

“Hey, sit down for now . There’s no need to be so angry . ”

“It is something to become angry about . ”

To be honest, it was a bit refreshing . It was a situation where she said what I was contemplating . But we had nothing to gain from causing trouble .

She expression loosened up a bit as if noticing my feelings .

“Doing that much was plenty . ”

“…… Yes . ”

Soo-ah sat down for now . I started talking to Lee Jung-hyun this time .

“You can sit down as well now . ”

“You can sit down as well now . ”

“Are you not going to apologize?”

I quickly pushed down on Soo-ah’s shoulder . She moved slightly trying to get up before taking her seat again .

Lee Jung-hyun looked like he wouldn’t do anything else before getting an apology . This guy seemed to have quite a temper as well .

It was difficult to enter dungeons if you were put on the Dungeon Administration Team’s blacklist so there were quite a few officials that pressured hunters .

Of course that was in the case of an ordinary hunter .

It would be bad if they mistakenly got on the wrong side of a high ranking official’s child after all .

But that didn’t mean they could look down on people like this .

I silghtly frowned and opened my mouth .

“Are you not going to work?”

“You’re coming out this uncooperatively so how could I work?”

“Uncooperatively you say…… which part?”

“Let’s just lay it all out then . A level 6 centaur you say . Why would something like that come out of a level 4 dungeon?”

“Was there no such information from people that went in before?”

Being angry was one thing but I thought that part was weird . Leaving aside being unable to clear it, did they not even meet the centaur .

“I heard that they weren’t able to progress much further from the entrance . ”

“What’s the mortality rate like?”

“There is no need for me to tell you such things as far as I know . ”

“Ok, I thought that the administration team had to publicly announce things like the number of casualties and mortality rate though . ”

They had to immediately announce something like casualties on the homepage . Things like survival rate were the most accurate barometers as indicators of how dangerous the dungeon was .

“It has just opened . It can’t be helped that there’s some problems in the early stages…… . ”

“Ok, so what’s the percentage . ”

“…… It’s 80% . ”

“Hmm…… . ”

At his words Han Joon-suk let out a low moan . I was also surprised at this . 2 out of 10 died……?

“If it was that dangerous, shouldn’t the level have been adjusted for the people? Level 3 hunters are entering in droves no?”

“We decided that there was a need to look at the situation a little longer . ”

“Seriously, there’s people dying…… . ”

“That is our jurisdiction and has nothing to do with you . ”

Of course it has something to do with me . It’s a dungeon I created .

“That is our jurisdiction and has nothing to do with you . ”

Of course it has something to do with me . It’s a dungeon I created .

This meant that there were up to hundreds of people dying a day . It might just be this particular one, but the dangers of Red Holes is something I have felt as well .

“Senior brother, this . ”

Soo-ah put a smartphone in front of me . It was the Hunter Market bulletin board . I left Lee Jung-hyun alone and slowly read the bulletin board .

– Red Holes are awesome . So many items drops . Seems to be almost 10% .

It was about getting a lot of items after coming back from a Red Hole . On top of that, there were quite a few items that weren’t part of the original ones .

The comments below it didn’t hide their expectations .

– How many did you get?

– 10 .

– d.a.m.n . That means there were 100 monsters?

– It’s not 100 but several hundreds . We got tired while killing them so we came out . It’s a complete treasure field .

– Then . How much do you get if you sell it? What level dungeon did you go into?

– By current rates it will probably be about several billions of won .

– Holy…… Then shouldn’t we go now? It’s h.e.l.la nice .

– Definitely go . Go twice .

– Bull s.h.i.t . If it’s such good information why are you releasing the information without receiving money?

– Don’t go if you don’t want to . You can stay poor while others profit .

– The guy above seems to be doing that because he’s already feeling rich . I was also going to act accordingly after waiting but I think I’ll go now . I should quickly make an appointment .

– Gathering people for a party . We have a fresh tanker that doesn’t even have a scratch on his item .

– I was getting annoyed with the raid teams that were being territorial at the Yellow Sea but I can just go there now .

– Come quickly .

It wasn’t even at the level of a mess . It was a situation where even people at the Yellow Sea would come after hearing about the high item drop rate .

It wasn’t like there weren’t people warning about the high difficulty level but they were mostly buried in other comments or became targets of mockery .

“This can’t be left as it is no?”

I showed the smartphone in my hand to Lee Jung-hyun . I thought that he would be concerned but his started smiling instead .

There was something off about this .

“Is this the time to be laughing? There’s this many people swarming to such dangerous dungeons . ”

“It’s only something that happens in the beginning . Since the item drop rate is high they will be able to equip them and the survival rate will rise as well . ”

He said so as if it wasn’t something to be concerned about .

He said so as if it wasn’t something to be concerned about
