Leveling
Ch 96's

Jin Woo arrives at Hunter Auction.

Unlike a company building with several floors, the auction house was low but wide.

It reminds me of a museum or art gallery.

The parking lot is large enough to accommodate thousands of bidders.

Being in the middle of that giant land, Jin Woo was able to distinguish how much

obtained Hunter Auction through his business by looking at the enormous building.

When Jin Woo got off the taxi and headed to the building, a well-dressed man came over

to welcome him,

"Hunter Sung Jinwoo - nim?"

"Yes"

After confirming Jin Woo's face, the man looked surprised.

He then introduced himself in a clear voice,

“Hai, I'm the one who called.I'm from Hunter Auction Assessment Team, my name is Kim Junggi.

Please follow me"

Jin Woo nodded and followed behind him.

As he escorted the Hunter, all sorts of thoughts popped into Kim Junggi's head.

"Thinking that the Rank-S rookie who had just disappeared in front of the reporters

now it's behind me"

When he first picked up the phone, he thought it was a joke.

First, the artifact in question is an impossible existence, and then the caller

it said that he was the recently reported Rank-S Hunter.

"I almost said rudely to Hunter Rank-S ..."

After he confirmed the identity of Hunter Sung Jin Woo with the Hunter Association, it was cold

down creeping on Kim Junggi's back.

It was fortunate that he did not yell at Jin Woo due to reflexes.

[.. test, Hunter Sung Jin Woo jumped over five ranks through awakening,

being a Rank-S from Rank-E.We have received reports that the Hunter is a Class Mage

day ..]

Even now, TV screens located here and there throughout the building feature

jin Woo's face.

As if distracted by that, Jin Woo put his hood over his head again.

Meanwhile, Kim Junggi suddenly felt a strange flutter in the news that was

reporting Jin Woo.

"Should I ask her for a selfie?"

The employee shook his head.

If he's not working at the moment, he'll ask her for a signature or a picture.

However, he could not act disrespectfully on the guests who came here for the important transaction.

Kim Junggi has to be patient.

"Is the distance from the entrance here that short?"

As the two men continued to step up and step up, the couple had already arrived at the appraisal office.

With a disappointed face, Kim Junggi spoke up,

"Here, Master"

In the large room, the leader of the Appraiser Team and the appraiser chief were waiting.

Paying attention to Jin Woo, the team leader's eyes widened; the man ran here at lunch,

and left the food,

"This is really the guy that came out of the news"

Meanwhile, the chief appraiser gulped his saliva,

"Then the artifact must also be real ...?"

No, not yet.

Just because the man is the real one, doesn't mean the item is real.

The Chief Appraiser calmed himself with that thought.

The world's most skilled artifact craftsmen use the highest possible materials in order to

make a booster with a little more than 50% effect%.

Even then, gathering materials was an incredible ordeal.

In addition, the amount of labor and effort required to create such an item

it was huge and made the item only appear once every few years.

Class-Mage Hunters who wanted such an item lined up all over the world, but did not

there are items like that for sale right now.

Forget about the entire world, even in this country, a Class-Mage Hunter called the Strongest Warrior, was,

Choi Jongin, has an open order to obtain artifacts with an increase of 50%.

And now this new Rank-S, which was just revealed a few minutes ago, is,

saying he has an artifact with an effect with a 100% increase%?

'There is no way anymore…'

If Jin Woo is not the highest ranked Hunter, the auction will expel him from the building.

But, just keep it.

One cannot carelessly ignore a Rank-S Hunter.

Even if whatever happens today ends up with nothing, that man is a customer

valuable for the future.

"What should we sacrifice?"

With a bit of anticipation and more hesitation, the chief appraiser asked Jin Woo,

"The artifact ... Can you show us?"

Kim Junggi and the assessment team leader also viewed Jin Woo as anticipation.

"certain"

Jin Woo puts his hand in his pocket and calls out the Marble of Avarice from

its storage.

"So this ..."

The Chief Appraiser fixed his glasses.

It was a marble with an incredible color of blood.

Even at a glance, it would make people gobsmacked.

In fact, the other two from the appraiser team did a lot of things,

"Whoa-"

However, the chief appraiser continued to fidget with his glasses while looking at the item.

"It's not an artifact made from magic nuclei or magic ores, is it?"

"Yes"

The Chief Appraiser nodded,

'As I thought.'

It had been seven years since he started working as an appraiser.

Many artifacts had passed through his hands during that time, but he had never

seeing a red crystal like this.

The average crystal is bright and usually blue in color, and when its quality increases, it is crystalline

will be close to black.But red?

The Chief Appraiser tilted his head from side to side, then took the crystal from Jin Woo.

Then.

"What-what ?!"

A coldness ran down his back.

It was because of the unfathomable power coming from the crystal.

'Could it…?'

In shock, he stared at the marble in his hand.

The main appraiser was a Class-Mage Rank-B Hunter.

He could immediately tell what items he was holding.

Cold sweat poured out from his entire body.

'My Lord!'

Shivering again at the power of the magic tool, the chief appraiser looked up.

Jin Woo looked at her calmly.

'If the person who brought this is a low-level Hunter ...'

This was the first time the chief appraiser felt something like this.

In his career, he discovered many powerful and classy artifacts, but these are

the first time he thought of stealing an artifact.

However, his opponent was an S-Rank.

‘...?’

Jin Woo stared wordlessly.

Because of his gaze, the chief appraiser was barely able to suppress his greed.

"Stole from Rank-S?"

He could not even imagine what would happen to him if he tried.

As the main appraiser did when he first saw the artifact, the,

Jin Woo also tilted his head while looking at the appraiser chief.

'What's wrong with him?'

Is the man sick or something?

After all, the chief appraiser wiped his sweat and spoke to the team leader, instead,

"Chairman, please turn on the camera"

"Oh! All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right."

The fact that the chief appraiser had asked to turn on the camera meant that the goods

it's the real stuff.

The heart of the team leader started to beat fast.

Even Kim Junggi, who first received Jin Woo's call, realized and became

eager.

"Start recording now"

The team leader directs the camera lens to the primary appraiser.

The head appraiser stood in front of the round magic power gauge.

First, he put the marble down.

beeps

Device issues number.

Then, the chief appraiser took the marble and re-measured himself.

beeps

The magic power of the main appraiser actually doubled.

After confirming the measurement results, Kim Junggi turned pale.

"My Lord…"

The team leader also ran and confirmed the results.

‘100%? This is truly an artifact with a 100% enhancement effect% ?! '

His heart felt like it was going to explode.

The average commission fee that the Hunter Auction took from the sale of artifacts was 5%.

For goods sold for a hundred billion, they could receive five billion commissions.

But even as an experienced veteran of the Hunter Auction, the team leader was unable to

guessed how many of these red-colored magic tools would sell.

'This is awesome! Just incredible! "

If the seller himself is not here, the team leader feels like he can lift

his hand to the sky and hugged the subordinate next to him.

If they manage to sell this, how much can they receive as commission?

In his excitement, the team leader struggled to breathe.

happy ones.

'Yosh!'

Now, they just had to advance the transaction carefully.

"I'm .. I'll test the effect"

At the trembling voice of the appraiser chief, two other employees gasped from their excitement

and take distance.

Jin Woo also backed off.

The camera is still turning.

To attract buyers, a demonstration is much better than a simple change in numbers.

The Chief Appraiser looked towards the camera,

"I'll start now."

The appraiser extended his right hand.

Snow started to appear around the room.

The appraiser continued,

"While maintaining my magic, now I will touch the magic tool"

When his left hand touched the Marble of Avarice,

wooooosh!

The falling snow turned into a blizzard that enveloped the entire room.

"Whoa!"

If the shocked appraiser did not stop his magic, the entire room would freeze.

"You can turn off the camera now"

"Yes"

The team leader quickly ran over and turned off the camera.

‘Fiuh-’

Jin Woo sighed in relief after seeing magic power explode from the appraiser chief.

Not just him, all the men in the room had to calm their beating hearts

tight and take a deep breath.

Immediately, the calmness returned inside the room.

Jin Woo asked, though,

"So, you think, how much does it cost?"

Would he be able to get the artifacts he needed if he sold these?

Well, he was also curious how many artifacts with a 100% enhancement effect would be sold.

The Chief Appraiser looked at the Marble of Avarice in disbelief.

"How ... How can we put a price on something like this ..."

He moved his gaze to Jin Woo.

gulp

Where did this person get an artifact like this?

It wasn't a question the appraiser had to ask, but he couldn't help it, either,

"Where did you get this?"

Jin Woo shifted his gaze from the appraiser to Kim Junggi,

"Is that information necessary for the sale?"

Kim Junggi avoided her gaze while rubbing the back of her head.

The Appraiser Chief shook his head,

"No, that's not Mr. Just .. I'm very surprised.But if it's known that something

as this exists, everyone would want to know where it came from”

As the man had said, all the employees of Hunter Auction looked like them

will die of curiosity.

"Yes, does it matter?"

Because they asked, Jin Woo could not think of any reason to hide it.

It's not like he got it illegally.

And it's also not like they can go and get another if they know.

Jin Woo opened his mouth.

The three employees held their breaths and focused on that S-Rank Hunter.

Jin Woo smiled as he replied,

"I got it from the Dungeon"

Baek Yoonho entered his private office.

"I want to be alone, make sure nothing bothers me"

Feeling his orders to the secretary were not enough, the man even locked the door and went to the

computer front.

Using every amount of resources he had as an S-Rank Hunter and

Guildmaster, Baek Yoonho gathered every piece of information he could find about

what he's looking for.

"Is that something possible?"

Baek Yoonho can't stop thinking about Jin Woo.

A Hunter capable of growth?

Otherwise, how else would you explain the difference to that man after just a few days?

Baek Yoonho's fingers moved quickly over the keyboard.

He even accessed Hunter's website which was only accessible to the top Hunters around the world.

But he found nothing.

'There's nothing…'

No Hunter could improve his own abilities.

Rise or Resurrection, you can only gain power through luck.

Does that mean that unlike Hunter, the man was chosen by the gods?

Countless tabs opened and closed, and the man read the novels

filled with endless words.

He did it for three hours.

With mental fatigue, Baek Yoonho leaned back in his chair.

"Am I thinking too much about it?"

Maybe that's all.

He wondered if he was just surprised by the amount of power he possessed

Sung Jin Woo Hunter.

"Ha…"

What does he do when he should be busy?

He should have focused on taking even one step closer to

recruiting Hunter Sung Jin Woo.

As far as he knew, that coward Choi might offer Hunter a contract

young is now.

Baek Yoonho chuckled and closed the tabs one by one.

When he got to the last tab, he,

'Wait…'

Instead of closing the tab, Baek Yoonho did another search with the keyword

"increased Hunter abilities".

Of course, there are no real results.

Not that he was expecting anything.

He simply repeated the search method that was already his habit after three hours.

"Hmm .. I missed lunch today"

Baek Yoonho was about to close the last tab in hunger when he saw something.

Eyes open.

‘...?’

It was the fifth result in his search.

If it wasn't a post on Hunter-only forums, that Guildmaster wouldn't have thought of it.

Baek Yoonho clicked on that link.

"Something strange has happened"

Suddenly I could see the screen floating in the air like a video game, and I could

using stat points to improve my abilities.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

It was written by an anonymous poster.

But what is this?

As she read the post, her heart started pounding and her breathing shortened.

"If someone sees me now, they'll call me crazy"

Still, it wouldn't hurt to check it out.

Baek Yoonho picked up his phone.

"Yes, Guildmaster."

The head of the Second Management Division Ahn Sangmin picked up the phone.

"Chairman Ahn, there's something I need you to know"

He asks the man to see if anything has happened to Hunter Sung Jin Woo

the day the post was made.

"All right, I'll check it out"

With a stern answer, Ahn's head hung up the phone.

Chief Ahn is a reliable employee, if Baek Yoonho waits, he,

the man would definitely find out in any way possible.

However, the Guildmaster did not expect a response to come this quickly.

'Have?'

Baek Yoonho quickly picked up the ringing phone.

"I actually had the file on my desk, so it didn't take long"

"Is that so?"

Baek Yoonho was overjoyed.

Now that he thought about it, he remembered having heard that Chief Ahn had

ordered the Second Management Division to collect every bit of information about

Sung Jin Woo previously.

Thanks to that, the response to his request came quickly.

“OK, so on that day, Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim.

Double Dungeon a few months ago? "

"Of course."

“Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim is one of the survivors of the incident

in hospital unconscious during that period”

"G ... Is that ..."

Baek Yoonho was disappointed.

An unconscious man is unlikely to be able to make a post on the internet.

‘Increase one's abilities ... Either way it is impossible.’

That's a ridiculous idea.

On the report, his exhaustion befell him.

Baek Yoonho felt he should go home and take a day off.

Suddenly,

“Oh? Wait a minute ... ”

Ahn Sangmin's voice on the phone kept her entertained,

"But it was the day he woke up"
