In charge of Human Resources Team 2, Seo Jinwook .
One of Jeonghyun’s eyebrows twitched.
It wasn’t a suspicious look,
‘What rank is the head of Human Resources Team 2?’
Jeonghyun wanted to find out the approximate rank of the head of the Human Resources Team.
Having worked only in the workshop, he lacked a sense of hierarchy, especially when it came to the guild.
Anyway, it seemed like the Human Resources Team was a quite powerful department.
“Hello. But what brings you here?”
Jeonghyun’s voice inexplicably softened.
On the other hand, the other person had a low and firm voice.
Maybe in his mid-30s?
“Well, our guild’s Hunter Han Sangsoo suffered an injury recently. We were wondering how to repay him, and since you’re also a hunter, we thought that going to the gate together might be a good idea. What do you think?”
“Huh? Oh, so it wasn’t a scouting proposal?”
No wonder, hearing his words, Jeonghyun felt a bit deflated.
‘Why is this person interested in Jinjin in the first place?’
It’s not like Jungjin would take interest towards an Unregistered Hunter
Just as Jeonghyun was about to sigh at the thought of gulping down a bowl of kimchi soup, Jinwook laughed loudly in response. (bowl of Kimchi soup= Too good too be true)
“Haha, of course, you’re welcome if you come, but I heard you declined. Any thoughts?”
It was a nimble and friendly tone, despite hearing that Jeonghyun had declined.
He reminded him of Cha Yerin, although a much better version.
Jeonghyun awkwardly smiled, indicating his intention to decline.
“It’s okay. This time, it’s about bringing Hunter Han Sangsoo as a repayment. We guarantee a basic pay of 10 million won (around 7,700 USD) , and there will be a distribution based on the hunting results. Would you like to participate?”
“Oh, thank you.”
“No, it should be me who would say thank you. I’ll contact you with more details later.”
And with a few pleasantries, the call cleanly ended.
‘I apologize for comparing such a person to Director Cha Yerin. I’m sorry.’
After hanging up, Jeonghyun found himself smiling unknowingly.
Just when he was contemplating wanting to do a decent hunt, such a grateful offer came.
Indeed, there was a reason why big companies were big.
From their perspective, wasn’t it to repay the newly arrived rookie, even going so far as to involve the personnel team?
“Different from the usual, something different.”
Just having a normal hunt made Jeonghyun’s mood unexpectedly good.
Then, he sneakily glanced at the wall next door.
‘It’s about time to shout.’
Of course, Jeonghyun didn’t intentionally make noise to provoke the neighbor.
It was a situation where it was unavoidable.
But recently, the neighbor seemed to have given up a bit, not shouting back.
“I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Although not visible, Jeonghyun bowed his head toward the next door and lay back on the bed.
Then, he opened the Attribute store.
[Store List (Refresh Cost: 2 Coins)
“Decent Mana Sensitivity” (E, Lv.1), 2C
–
“Noticeable Archery Skills” (E, Lv.1), 2C
“Worthy Endurance” (F, Lv.1), 1C
“Mediocre Movement Speed” (F, Lv.1), 1C
Current Coin Balance: 12]
There were more coins than expected.
Considering the 1 coin from killing the boss and the 5 coins from the hidden achievement, he earned 6 coins by capturing a normal spider.
It was his first time seeing the exact number, as he hadn’t checked all the coin notifications due to the urgent situation.
“Moreover, the probabilities are quite decent now.”
Although not suitable for Jeonghyun, he had two E-rank attributes.
Considering the already purchased dagger technique, it was much when the Attribute Store was Level 1.
“But I wish my movement speed would improve already…”
Observing the attributes of the movement speed at the bottom of the list, Jeonghyun furrowed his brow.
Even if he expands the equipable slots later, would he ever need to include his movement speed?
Especially after going through the adaptation pain?
Jeonghyun shook his head and refreshed the list.
[List has been updated.]
[Store List (Refresh cost: 2 coins)
“Mediocre Movement Speed” (F, Lv.1), 1C
“Weak Flame Magic” (F, Lv.1), 1C
“Decent Movement Speed” (E, Lv.1), 2C
“Ten-Miles Eyes” (F, Lv.1), 1C
“Quite Swift Movement Speed” (D, Lv.1), 3C
Current coin balance: 10］
“Ah!”
And as soon as he saw the updated list, Jeonghyun screamed.
It was like a spectacular festival of flashy movement speeds.
From F-rank to E-rank, and even D-rank, they all appeared.
“This movement speed at different ranks… Is this rigged?”
Of course, the Attribute Shop disclosed the appearance probabilities for each rank.
It’s commendable, but does anyone which attributes will appear with that probability within those ranks?
Maybe the appearance probability of movement speed is 50% or something.
“Hi… What on earth is happening?”
While other movement speeds were fine, the D-rank movement speed was painful.
If it came out with the agile movement or dagger technique he already had, he would have at least saved it away.
Practically, for him, the highest rank he could save right now was D-rank for movement speed.
He felt like immediately calling the system operator and complaining.
“Sigh, if this is the charm of lottery gacha, then it’s a charming mess.”
If this is the charm, I’d rather pass on it a thousand times, but what can he do?
He had to endure with the evilness of his own attribute.
Jeonghyun shook his head and refreshed the list, but even after that, and even after that, and even after that, there were no usable attributes coming out.
[Current coin balance: 4]
“Huh, was today not a good day to gamble?”
A cold sweat broke out on Jeonghyun’s forehead.
Did he only realize it since three movement speeds of different rank overlapped?
Eight coins disappeared from the twelve he had.
He just wanted one decent attribute, but it turned out like this.
Jeonghyun’s hands trembled.
“Should I stop now, or should I spend the remaining coins?”
Jeonghyun, who witnessed the magic of coins disappearing two at a time, couldn’t hastily make a decision.
But then, he heard indecent noises coming from the next door.
“Fuck come on!”
“Ah, ahh, ahh!”
Under a seemingly encouraging word (though indecent), Jeonghyun involuntarily closed his eyes tightly and decided to refreshed again.
“Even though I am usually noisy when I am dealing with pain, doing a revenge like this…”
Who could endure when someone hearing something indecent?
Probably, the next-door uncle had targeted that as well. But thanks to that he had the courage to gamble his remaining coins.
And when Jeonghyun opened his eyes,
“Somewhat Agile Movement” (E, Lv.1), 2C
The result that would console the lost 10 coins was placed there.
“I got it! I got it! Thanks, mister!”
Truly a perfect irony.
Jeonghyun, who was joyfully jumping around, contrasted sharply with the pitiful voice coming from the next door.
Even with that, Jeonghyun regained his composure after hitting the wall a few more times.
“What should I do about this?”
It’s good that he got what he wanted.
And without any worries, he stored it away.
But the problem is that Jeonghyun already had a Level 2 Agile Movement attribute equipped, even though it was F-rank.
Jeonghyun summoned the window containing the attributes he had.
[Equipped slots (4/4)
“Decent Combat Sense” (E, Lv.2)
“Reasonable Agile Movement” (F, Lv. 2)
“Physical Ability Slight Enhancement” (E, Lv.1)
“Dagger Technique” (D, Lv.1)
Saveable slots (2/8)
“Reasonable Agile Movement” (F, Lv.1)
“Somewhat Agile Movement” (E, Lv.1)
Current triggered attribute synergy: “The best defense is evasion” (F)]
Although the gap widens as the rank goes up, generally, one level in F or E is considered as one rank higher.
Considering this rule, it’s practically exerting a similar effect.
Is there really a need to change it?
With just one F-rank movement, he will reach E-rank Level 2.
There was no need to split the proficiency.
“Huh?”
However, Jeonghyun’s gaze came to a halt at the synergy section.
Until now, he hadn’t been conscious of it, but at the end of the synergy, there was clearly an F-rank written.
So, does synergy also depend on the ranks of the attributes that make it up?
Anyway, doing nothing will gain nothing.
Jeonghyun changed his F-rank agile movements to E-rank.
[“Reasonable Agile movements” have been changed to “Decent agile physical movements.”
It’s already an applied attributes. The adaptation pain is skipped.]
“Wow… I’m really relieved.”
Jeonghyun let out a sincere sigh of relief.
He knew that there was no adaptation pain when the rank went up with the same three attributess, but this was the first time it had happened, so it was half an adventure.
The achievement of not having to go through an adaptation penalty was satisfying enough.
That’s how intense the pain was.
But the system didn’t stop there.
[Attribute synergy, the rank of “The Best Defense is Evasion” is upgraded from F to E.
Decent Combat Sense- Predicts the enemy’s attack path more clearly.
Reasonable Agile Movement- Reflex speed increases]
“Here it comes!”
As expected, the rank synergy seemed to follow the lower rank of the two attribute.
When the window announcing the synergy upgrade appeared, Jeonghyun clenched his fist and shouted.
Although he couldn’t precisely gauge the effects of the attribute, from experience, it was something that couldn’t be ignored.
At least it seemed to raise the rank by half.
And if it was Jeonghyun’s main skill of physical movements and combat sense, there was no need to say more.
‘For now, I’ll keep using it like this, and if a level 2 attribute merges into E-rank, I can change it again.’
It was even better since there was no need to go through an adaptation process if the attributes were in the same category.
Of course,
[Remaining time to change equipped Attributes: 7 days]
‘…In a week.’
It wasn’t entirely without restrictions. It seems like if he wanted to change equipped attributes he would have to wait for a week.
Anyway, in the moment when he was about to dismiss 12 coins, he unexpectedly gained a harvest.
Unknowingly, Jeonghyun started humming a tune.
“Where will determine people go for hunting? It would be nice if it’s a place where the money is good~.”
He had already started looking forward to the day when he would enjoy the benefits of a large corporation.
