Eat With Infinite Saves 129

Chapter 129 – 129 Dungeon Exploration (4)

*

As soon as I entered beyond the gate according to the instructor’s instructions, a new world unfolded.

With the hot weather like a tropical rain forest, I felt the humidity enough to make it difficult to breathe.

There was a barrier around the gate that looked like a modern device, probably because it was an area managed by the Death Guild.

It seemed to be a device to prevent monsters from attacking.

Beyond the transparent shield, there were animals and plants that were incomparably larger than those seen on Earth.

Seeing monsters that looked like pterodactyls flying around in the sky, I felt that it was definitely not a normal dungeon.

“Once upon a time, hunters called a place like this a hunting ground. Before gates were managed by guild, accidents often happened.”

The instructor muttered with a bitter smile as if he remembered the past.

In the past, when gate access was not separately managed, it was often used for crimes.

Enter the gate first and wait, then attack when another hunter comes in, intentionally drag someone inside the gate and kill them.

Before order was established, villains ran around.

Now, with the emergence of the Hunter Association, S-class hunters, who can be called deterrents to villains, and large guilds, that rarely happens.

“Nice to meet! My name is Kim Jeong-ho, who was the team leader of Team 14 of the Death Guild.”

A burly, muscular man appeared and started talking.

He seemed to be speaking in a low voice, but seeing that he heard it clearly in his ears, he seemed like a fairly high-ranking hunter.

“As you know, humans need resources to survive. Before there was a gate, various underground resources were used, but now the importance of resources such as magic stones and by-products of monsters has increased.”

Most of the equipment used by hunters is made by processing the corpses of monsters.

It is natural to have magic stones that stably supply energy, and depending on the type of monster, various loot could be obtained.

Like bone, which is harder than steel, but lighter in weight.

Like leather that can never be torn with normal impact.

With the creation of gates, useful resources increased.

Electricity generated through magic stones is more efficient than electricity generated from fossil fuels, and is even more environmentally friendly.

So each country tended to increase the number of manastone power plants, and the more the hunters did, the more work they had to do.

Among the awakened people, there are cases where they fall into the hero side to help people, but the main job of the hunter was hunting.

Occasionally, if a monster comes over due to the backflow of the gate, the hunters also take off their feet to help people, but in the end, the hunter’s job is hunting.

It could be said that the main job was to hunt monsters that could be resources and sell the loot obtained.

“The deeper you go, the more dangerous guys live there, so make sure you don’t act alone. Got it!”

“Team Leader Kim is working hard. Did you say Korean Academy cadets?”

While listening to team leader Kim Jeong-ho’s explanation, hunters in matching battle suits appeared from behind.

Everyone was wearing clothes with the patterns of the Death Guild, and it looked like a group that specialized in hunting within the Death Guild.

Everyone was wearing the right equipment.

“Depending on the size of the monster, there are cases where it moves on a large scale like this. Team 17, shown here, is on their way to hunting a large mob called Thunder Drake.”

__If it’s Thunder Drake… Isn’t it a dragon that uses electricity?

__How do you get hold of it?

“Team Leader Kim, we are busy too.”

“Hold on for a second. Now, Thunder Drake is a large mob that mainly uses electricity! So, as you can see, I wore insulator equipment and equipment with good electrical resistance.”

Preparing equipment according to the monster to be hunted was a basic action that hunters had to do.

It was a common occurrence in gates that exist to hunt specific monsters, like the gate we entered today.

“We are intelligent human beings. It’s good to make the most of what’s available. Then we will go inside from now on! Move according to the instructions!”

__Shake..

__What won’t happen?

The experience of entering the gate on this scale was not easy. That’s why I saw a lot of nervous cadets.

You said that there are times when the other side of the gate looks like another dimension, and I think I know what that means.

I stroked the handle of the sword in the scabbard and checked Minji next to me.

Minji wasn’t wearing the large gauntlet she always wore.

“It’s Minji. Did you forget your equipment?”

“What are you talking about… Can’t you see I’m wearing it around my waist?”

I’ve seen them wear square contraptions on either side of their waists, but they don’t look like gauntlets.

The moment Min-ji questioned that, she put her hand on the equipment on her waist and poured her magic power into it.

Then, it crunched, and in an instant, it turned into a gauntlet that wrapped around both of Minji’s hands.

It’s not a flashy transformation like we saw in the movie, but it looked pretty cool.

“Does that look good? I feel like all men would like it.”

“What…What are you talking about, you idiot. I just got it this time.”

It looks like someone gave it as a gift. Unlike the clunky gauntlets that had been used since magic engineering technology had been applied, it looked cool that it had its own light.

If you were going to give Minji a present, would Mina have done it?

“Is that a missile too? Like a beam coming out of the palm of your hand. Can you fly in the sky?”

“Do you know what Platinum Man I am?”

It just seems to have a simple transformation function. Minji sighed and fastened her gauntlet to her waist again.

In the past, they would have yelled at each other, but it was Minji who made eye contact with her by mistake because she hugged her until she fainted yesterday.

‘It’s cute.’

As the registered heroines grew, their bonus stats were gradually accumulating.

If you hug the rest of the kids tightly, they will grow faster.

Finally, the hunting practice began.

*

The members of the Four Gods Guild captured a monster and brought it to the cadets. A monster that looked like a mixture of a pterosaur and a lizard was struggling to untie the rope.

It looked weak because it was tied like that, but it was a fairly high-ranking monster.

__How do you hold that by yourself?

__Daeun is the second seat. It’s the same with Seo-ah, so the level is different from ours.

__Isn’t that too dangerous though?

“Kyaaaaaek!!!”

“Lee Da-eun, come forward.”

“… “

Kang Joo-won glanced at Lee Da-eun, who was becoming a different person as time passed.

Usually, there were many times when she looked fat, perhaps because of her clothes, but these days, as she wears clothes or suits that reveal her body, her breasts are often highlighted like now.

‘Da-eun was like that..’

Kang Joo-won also lived with Lee Da-eun for a long time, but he knew that her breasts were big, but he didn’t know that she was that big.

__ Lee Da-eun’s breasts are fucking big..

__Asshole, someone else will listen!

Kang Joo-won frowned at her obscenities coming from behind her and glared at her from behind. The cadets at the place where they thought they had heard the sound earlier were busy looking at her, pretending not to be themselves.

Since there are only a few male cadets anyway, it’s easy to get caught saying things like this.

Wondering if Lee Da-eun might be offended, she turned her head and saw Da-eun, who was waving her hand at Kang Min-ji’s side, paying no attention to her gaze.

‘Could it be Kang Min-ji.. Or..’

Is the person shaking her hand really Kang Min-ji?

Or maybe it was Kim Si-woo next to her, the thought came up for a moment, but she pretended not to know.

By the time that thought grew bigger, she was Lee Da-eun waving her hand to herself and her Jung Soo-ah.

It’s just because she got close to her while training together the other day.

It must be an illusion that Da-eun’s warm, spring-like appearance has recently become prettier.

Kang Joo-won shook her head and focused on Lee Da-eun again.

“Focus on hunting, Cadet Lee Da-eun.”

The instructor issued a warning to Kang Joo-won and Lee Da-eun, who were not concentrating with the monster in front of them.

“Sorry!”

Recently, I felt like Lee Da-eun’s attitude had changed.

She usually brings her own lunch box, or she brings her expensive recovery medicine even if she is slightly injured.

Every time she did that, she was annoyed that she rejected and burdened her, but after she disappeared, she felt strangely empty.

‘Ha.. What are you thinking..’

It was pitiful that she had only fulfilled her request, and that even then she felt dissatisfied with her.

When she came to her senses, Lee Da-eun, who had already defeated the monsters captured by the members of the Shinigami Guild, was standing there.

It was time for her to fight monsters.

Her turn was long over and her other cadets were taking turns fighting.

She goes forward one by one and fights, and when she is in danger, the instructors next to her know how to help.

With __, it seems that the second seat is the second seat..

__Will we die if we get hit by that?

She seemed more responsive than when she went out and hunted herself.

Da-eun said that she was a better hunter than herself, so she might be a natural result. Although she gets a little jealous, she was thinking she would catch up someday.

While she was thinking such a pathetic thought, Lee Da-eun was making a V-ja with her hands, smiling brightly with an expression that did not know anything.

The direction she was looking while smiling like that.

‘That’s Kim Si-woo.. No, it must have been for Min-ji. The two of them seem to be very close lately.’

After Kang Joo-won was defeated by Kim Si-woo, Si-woo Kim kept stepping on his eyes.

It was clear that it was not an illusion that the gazes of the people around her, which she had taken for granted before, were directed toward Siwoo Kim instead of herself.

“Next is Siwoo Kim.”

__ And Siwoo.. So cool..

__I think Siwoo is more handsome than Joowon.

__It definitely seems like that lately.

Unknowingly, she began to strain her fists.

“Hey Kang Ju-won, what are you doing alone? Was it difficult earlier?”

I could hear Jung Soo-ah’s voice behind her, and I could feel her body relaxing. She seemed to have used a buff skill by Jung Soo Ah.

“Ah.. Nothing.”

Kang Ju-won turned his head to see Kim Si-woo fighting.

Reaper guild members were bringing monsters according to the level of each cadet.

Of course, for safety’s sake, they brought monsters that were lower than the cadet’s level, but there were many variables because they dealt with one-on-one.

The cadets started to stir when they saw the monster being dragged to Siwoo Kim’s opponent.

__Isn’t that a very strong monster?

__What if Siwoo gets hurt?

‘That… Is a stronger monster than the one I dealt with…?
