Chapter 95 – There Are No Bad Traits in the World (4)
Hehe… Hehe… !”
As Elena picked up the shell that had fallen on the floor, the smile on her lips couldn’t be erased.
No, apart from being erased, the sound of laughter seems to be getting more and more scary.
It’s not that I don’t understand.
All the shells she picks up now will eventually turn into money, so she must feel like she’s picking up money that’s fallen on the ground.
“Hmm….”
Progress is smooth.
No, I think the word speedy is more appropriate than the word smooth.
That’s how fast the battle is.
While the two tankers in front are tying up the ants, they explode with the prepared magic.
It was thanks to a simple yet clear strategy.
“It’s a bit unfortunate.”
If you ask me if everything is perfect, it wasn’t again.
“Yes? What?”
Im Na-eun, who was next to her, heard me and tilted her head.
“Ah… , I feel sorry for the state of the shell.”
It’s not that there’s a problem with the dungeon raid itself.
However, it is only a little wasteful of the shell, which reduces the quality value due to that.
Explosions from fireballs can effectively kill ants, but can also cause serious damage.
The ones in the middle of the explosion range have their shells torn to pieces and can’t be used.
Im Na-eun, who confirmed that, also spoke in a tone of regret.
“Yes… , It’s a bit of a waste.”
Like I said, that’s all money.
Clearing a dungeon isn’t that noble.
It’s just a place where hunters come in to make money on a bit of a risk.
But that money is leaking.
“Hmm.”
I thought about it for a while.
Can’t we catch it with a little less leak?
In fact, reducing speed is enough, but that increases the burden on the tanker.
“If I can earn more here, that’s fine! My body, very strong! Do!”
Then she folds her arms to show me her biceps.
It looks like you want to appeal to me for your own strength, but that’s a bit of a wrong choice.
“Elena, there’s nothing more foolish than hurting yourself to make more money.”
Then she pouts her mouth.
“Dojin, I don’t know. The hunger of my family hurts me more.”
Does that mean that if I work a little harder and feed my family, I’ll be satisfied with that?
“That is such a short-sighted idea.”
“Root… Draft? What is it, that word?”
Oh, was it too difficult?
“So what I’m saying is that we shouldn’t end it by just solving hunger right now.”
“Then what else can I do?”
“Very nice house, delicious food, pretty clothes. Don’t you want to do everything?”
“… I want to do it!”
“If you’re going to do that, Elena shouldn’t get hurt right now.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Okay.
I’m glad you understand.
Hunter’s body is his property.
I realized that late
If he had known a little earlier, Son Si-woo’s body would have been in a much better condition than it is now, no, he might have broken through one more wall in the way.
“Thank you, Dojin.”
“Yes?”
Suddenly thank you.
“This is the first time. The person who cared about my health.”
“Ah….”
He’s making me frown again in an inappropriate place.
My mind became a little more ambitious.
Let’s somehow get Elena to earn a penny more.
It’s good if we earn more.
“Let’s change the strategy from now on.”
The answer came easily.
After all, it’s a way other than an explosion, so only the shell is safe, right?
I immediately presented a different strategy to my team members.
“If you do that, the shell will be safe.”
“… A little less of that damn green bodily fluid.”
The response was pretty good.
“Then let’s try it right away.”
After the discussion is over, we head straight into the depths of the dungeon.
Soon, the eyes twinkled in the dark.
The position has not changed.
The two tankers become one body to contain the attacks of the ants.
Originally, I had to load the fireball here, but this time I prepared something else.
Start with me
After gathering the white mana, spread it widely in the area infested with ants.
It’s like spraying a spray.
At the same time, a thick fog began to spread beneath their feet.
It was not a natural fog, but a frost fog full of cold magic.
「Ice Fog.」
The movement of the ant, which had already slowed down once due to Elena’s characteristics, became even more sluggish.
Due to the cold air penetrating inside, the body shrank and the frequency of attacks also decreased.
At this point, the guys are the target.
A target that will openly hit our magic.
“Can I shoot now?”
“Uh, shoot.”
I also prepared a separate magic to cut off the breath of the slow-footed guys.
In order to end the breath without damaging the shell as much as possible, wouldn’t it be best to separate the neck and body after all?
What you need at this time is Yegi (銳气).
A sharpened blade of wind can sever the seams between their hard shells.
「Wind Cutter.」
A sharp knife wind blows towards the lame ants.
The place to aim for is each seam.
His head was torn off, and his legs were chopped off.
The finish is up to the tanker and Seoyeon.
It’s over when you stick a knife through the necks of ants that are dying after losing their legs.
“Ah!”
After the battle, Elena’s body trembled as she checked the bodies of the ants.
“I have more money… !”
A look of admiration.
Unlike before, when I caught 20 and only got 10, now I can get almost 18 or 19.
“In terms of money, this is correct.”
“Yeah, I guess.”
“The problem is that the magic power consumption is a little bigger.”
Unlike when you catch three or four fireballs at once, the wind cutter was limited to two at best.
It was unavoidable that the consumption of mana was greater as the Ice Fog had to be installed there as well.
Fortunately, the dungeon was nearing its end, so I don’t think I have to worry about running out of magic power.
“It’s about time for the boss room to come out….”
“Oh, I see it over there.”
Even a tiger will come if I say it.
After about three hours of attacking the ant nest, we reached the boss room.
“Originally, wasn’t the average attack time here five hours?”
“Yes, we are very fast.”
“Hey.”
A heartwarming smile is drawn on Shin Yoo-jung’s lips.
Since we completed a dungeon in three hours that active hunters took five hours to clear, they must have noticed that this party’s potential was extraordinary.
“Ha… , I was worried before I came in, but it’s better than I thought when I come.”
Im Na-eun sighs in relief as she places her hand on her chest.
It is revealed from the expression that the mind is much more comfortable than when I entered.
On the other hand, she entered the dungeon with great vigor, and Elena, who had been laughing hard just a moment ago, had a sullen expression on her face.
“Elena, what’s wrong with your expression? Any problem?”
When I asked that question, the answer that came back was spectacle.
“It’s a pity to leave, Do-jin…. Why are good moments always short-lived?”
“…….”
It was regretful that I couldn’t earn more.
“Don’t worry. Because this one time is not the end.”
“Do you come again next time?”
“I will go to dungeons often. Money is money, but you also have to train your teamwork.”
In the end, the body realizes teamwork only when it is built up in actual combat.
How my teammates move in real situations, and how I should support them.
Because there are a lot of things that cannot be learned in standardized training.
While earning money, he builds a bond with Elena and at the same time strengthens teamwork.
It really can’t be a trick that kills two birds with one stone.
“Well then, shall we go to rest after we finish the boss?”
“OK.”
“Good!”
The team members get up with eager expressions and head to the boss room.
I laughed and followed them.

A thrilling boss battle… , There was no
The boss of the anthill is the queen ant that appears leading dozens of soldier ants, but rather than being strong in itself, it has the ability to apply beneficial buffs to soldiers, so it’s not that difficult to catch if you can easily remove the trash mob. Was
However, we are a team that excels at eliminating trash mobs.
I caught the swarming soldier ants on the spot and wiped them all out neatly.
The remaining queen ants, of course, couldn’t block all the flying magic and fell down.
It took exactly 30 minutes to get there.
In the end, we finished clearing the dungeon in 3 hours and 30 minutes.
The guards guarding the dungeon were so surprised to see us come out so quickly.
Anyway.
The next place we headed to was what is commonly called a money changer.
The correct name is the ‘monster by-products exchange’, but it’s annoying to call it, so everyone calls it a currency exchange.
There, he sold all the shells he got from the ant nest and the magic stones he got from the safety room after defeating the boss.
So, the total amount earned today is about 1,500,000 won.
After deducting 20% of the tax….
“About 12 million won.”
Divided by the number of people, each person earned about 2.4 million won.
It was a considerable amount of money for the profits made from C-class dungeons.
I immediately divided the amount I received and transferred it to the accounts of four people.
“2.24 million won… !”
Elena, who checked the transfer amount written on the screen of my smartphone, was shaking her body.
She manages to take her eyes off her screen and runs towards me, then she grabs my hand.
“Thank you so much, Dojin! If it wasn’t for Dojin, I wouldn’t have been able to earn this kind of money… !”
“You don’t have to thank me. Didn’t Elena suffer that much?”
Then she shook her head.
“Do-jin was the only one. The one who made good use of me.”
Money is money, and it seemed that he was grateful that he used himself.
What… , It was only a little easier because I had one experience.
I realized then.
That there are no bad qualities in the world.
And honestly, Elena is a drug addict.
Compared to the 2nd bottle kid I had a hard time with for the first time… It’s not medicine, it’s a fairy, a fairy.
Anyway, the operation to change her perception in many ways is a success.
You can tell just by looking at their eyes.
Her gaze, which seemed to be prickly, became softer.
Are the eyes the windows to the soul?
Little by little, we see her heart opening to us.
“By the way, uh….”
“Yes?”
With a hesitant expression, she handed me a question insinuatingly.
“Are you going again next time? ?”
Was that about
“Did I tell you? As long as we are together as a team, we plan to constantly attack dungeons.”
“Is that so….”
Elena nodded her head as if she had made up her mind after hearing my words.
“Then I will do my best. I study Korean and special training more and more diligently!”
It feels like her half-extinguished will has been rekindled.
In many ways, this is an advantage for me.
“Yes, please take good care of me in the future.”
“I knew! I wish you well, Do-jin.”
Big, good
After concluding the conversation warmly, I looked around and checked the condition of the others.
Most felt the same way.
She wasn’t as impressed as Elena, but she was delighted with the amount.
Among them, the one who caught my attention was none other than Seoyeon.
The guy who was consistent with a blunt face is secretly smiling quietly.
I’m a little reluctant about this.
I thought there would be no special inspiration from this level of income since I was raised in abundance.
“Ah.”
Did you feel my eyes looking at you?
The guy raised his head and our eyes met.
A smile erased from the corners of your mouth.
The boy’s mouth was slightly open.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
Insincere speech.
I feel strange.
Those words were one of the words Son Si-woo wanted to hear so much.
After annoying me a bit, he would sneak into the room and tell me he had a hard time.
It was the same then as it is now.
It’s insipid, but it’s not dry to the core, so it’s such a weak warmth.
I became more curious about the low warmth.
Why did you hate meeting your dad so much?
He tried to hide his stuffy feelings and barely spoke a single word.
“… Senior too.”
That was all I could do now.
