Chapter 46 – Change
“Answer me, did you guys set the man-eating flower trap?”
I asked, tightening the collar of the hunter I caught.
“Kek, kek!”
Hunter didn’t answer anything even while breathing heavily.
“…”
Since Lee Yu-na was watching from behind, she couldn’t use a violent method.
She didn’t like me beating people up.
Then what should I do?
Instead of her [Non-milk target aversion], She brought it up strongly.
It put pressure on the Hunter who resisted by emitting a thick flesh.
[This person is a ‘non-milking target’!]
[Rage boils!]
[Fire spreads!]
[Heart beats faster!]
[It’s hard to live in the eyes!]
[The momentum is rising!]
[Overpower your opponent!]
Hunter was [Intimidated] By me and trembled.
“I ask again, did you guys target me?”
She asked, loosening her grip on her collar.
He was so scared that he couldn’t even make eye contact with me.
“Sin, sorry! Help me!”
“Answer the question. Why did you release the man-eating flower?”
Hunter started begging me.
“This is an order from the Scavenger Guild! An order has been issued from the superiors to kill you!”
“Me in Scavenger? Why?”
“Choi Wak-nim is going to hunt down a cheeky hunter who doesn’t work with scavenger items…”
“The worst?”
“To avenge Choi Dae-chil…”
The scavenger’s place was lined up for what reason they attacked.
Let me look at it with the momentum to kill, and I try to live.
Thanks to you, I found out what was going on.
“That guy who will hit the max.”
It seemed that the guy who had a grudge against me reached out to the Villains Guild.
He was suspicious of who was behind it, but blood ties existed in the scavenger guild.
This is why the Gyeonggi Southern Special District was a dangerous area.
Where criminals thrive.
A place where not only monsters but also various villains are active and people like Choi Dae-chil, who are supported by the villains, gain notoriety.
It was not a very good place to live for ordinary citizens and hunters.
He smiled bitterly.
Puck.
He knocked out the underling of the worst seven who confided everything he knew.
He was also good at stunning humans because he had knocked out countless Arachnes and Harpies.
I tied the fallen guy with [Bind].
The hunter who had been thrown into a tree earlier was also caught and tied up.
Basically, all the guys belonging to the scavenger had a bounty on them.
If you hand them over to the Hunter Management Bureau, you will receive a salty reward.
Yu Na, who was watching from behind, asked as she was shaking her hands after wrapping up.
“What is the Scavenger Guild?”
“It’s a famous villain guild in the area, and it’s a guild of criminals who engage in illegal item production, smuggling, and contract killings.”
She had already left for Seoul when she was in high school, so she didn’t know.
How many bad hunters are in these outskirts.
“Are those people aiming for you?”
“That’s it.”
“Let’s contact the Hunter Association and ask for help. The Villain Management Special Division will provide support.”
“Yes. I’ll have to call you first.”
She said the Hunter Association would fix it, but she said she wasn’t really of much help.
Security in the safety zone and security in the danger zone were completely different.
No matter how messed up the Scavenger Guild was, they had never been properly punished.
Moreover, the prestige of the Hunter Association has shrunk due to the failure of the Chinese rift attack.
Ultimately, it was something I had to figure out on my own.

“What is it, Wei Seong-du, Yu Gong-il?”
“Yes. He has been caught and is being held at the Hunter Bureau.”
Scavenger Guild.
Worst seven sat in the office and received reports from his subordinates.
The unbelievable content naturally made a harsh impression.
“Why? These bastards are C-class hunters, and they even brought a C+-class trap item. But why did you get hurt?”
“This guy named Cheonwoon recently became a B-class hunter. The reason why he goes together, and the Hunter has also risen to B-class.”
The subordinate who was making the report also had a puzzled look on his face.
The poor guild member was killed by slightly belated information.
I closed my eyes tightly in advance of the worst seven screams that would follow.
“Fuck! What? Class B Hunter? Did you go up to B rank recently?”
The worst seven threw things on the desk and got angry.
The guy named Cheonwoon kept making him feel uncomfortable.
After deciding to avenge the maximum seven.
I looked for Cheonun, but she couldn’t find it in any cracks.
So he released his men and waited for a month,
The first report that came in met Chun-Woon at the crack and said that his men were captured by the Hunter Administration.
To make matters worse, Cheonun’s Hunter rank has risen to Class B.
It was a series of annoying reports.
“You, you bastard. How do you do things so you can’t figure out even one of them? Is there something else you don’t know, are you confusing Class B and Class C? What are you doing with that kind of brain?”
I kicked the shin of the subordinate who was reporting.
The subordinate screamed and collapsed.
In fact, there was an unfair side from his point of view.
Since Cheonun returned from Harpy Field and was promoted to a B-class Hunter, he only knew he was a C-rank with the information he already had.
Hearing that Cheonwoon had reappeared in the nearby rift, he hurriedly sent his guild members, but it turned out that the opponent was a B-class.
Recently updated information.
When are you going to check all of that?
It’s not even the person who works for the Hunter Management Bureau.
I was beaten until the anger of the worst seven of the rage was released.
“That’s right, brother. Didn’t you say he was a shrewd and dangerous guy? Would I have been beaten by a bad guy? He is a sly, incomprehensible coward.”
Choi Choi, who was wearing a bandage in the corner of the office, spoke in a low voice.
He was taking various healing potions to recover, but now he was barely able to move.
It stuck like a leech next to the worst seven and told fortunes.
“You’re fucking. I’m talking in a high voice about what I did well. You say you’re nothing.”
The worst seven kicked the leg of the largest seven rolling his eyes.
Choi Dae-chil, who was wounded, screamed as he rolled off the chair.
Apparently, when he asked for revenge, he said that Chun-Woon was just a mean coward.
Now that the grade has risen to B-class, and the subordinates are suffering, they change their words.
He’s the one who beat me, so be careful.
I couldn’t help but watch the unfunny behavior.
“Anyway, this guy or that guy. You have to have someone you can trust.”
The worst one grinded his teeth.
I didn’t like Max Chill or his subordinate, who was lying beaten up, equally.
She huffed and slammed the surrounding objects for a while before coming to her senses.
“It’s class B. He was a formidable fellow.”
According to a survey of heavenly fortune, the recent growth has been too steep.
From F grade to B grade in 5 months.
This was a noteworthy growth not only in the Gyeonggi Southern Special District, but also in Seoul.
Maybe he is a lumber that will grow into a big man.
Worst seven felt a pain in the back of my head.
It felt like catching a cheeky hunter who messed with his younger brother, but if he was careless, this side would rather get hit.
“Contact the guild master.”
He called another subordinate other than the fallen one.
“I definitely hunt for the next rift, especially when a large rift appears.”
The scavenger had to feel a sense of crisis.
One of the hunters in the constituency they manage was becoming too strong to handle.
*
[You have killed the Little Skeleton King!]
[You have cleared the E-class dungeon!]
[A small reward is given!]
[You have defeated the evil soldier ant!]
[You have cleared the F+ level dungeon!]
[A very small reward is given!]
[You have killed the giant worm!]
[You have defeated an E+ level dungeon!]
…
The cracks that appeared in the Gyeonggi Southern Special District were not of that high level.
Large-scale rifts like the previous ‘Forest of Grim Toads’ did not appear anymore and remained silent.
Thanks to that, if I and Lee Yu-na entered a normal rift, I could clear the rift in less than an hour.
The reward wasn’t much either.
In the past, I went in to test how strong I was, but I don’t feel the need to do that anymore.
Boring.
As it is a dangerous area, there were many cracks.
However, since this is Gyeonggi-do, which is close to Seoul, and the city is large, there were many hunters.
It was a crack that could be cleared enough without my participation.
Why am I going around these cracks?
It may be because of the habit that has been imprinted for 5 years.
Guarding the neighborhood of the nursery school.
To protect the Gyeonggi Southern Special District from monsters.
I lived fiercely with a sense of duty about this.
I didn’t feel this boredom because I always felt a sense of crisis while going around the E-class and F-class rifts.
The level of the rifts suited me, and it was rewarding every time I cleared them one by one and went home safely.
But now?
Monsters can’t even look at me when I activate [Hate on non-milking subjects].
From the moment I entered, I didn’t feel much value in going around the cracks that were cleared.
In fact, there was no significant stat increase, and no experience was given.
Near the nursery.
He was resting at home after clearing all the cracks that occurred in the special district in southern Gyeonggi beyond the nursery school.
Woo woo woo.
―Hello, Cheonwoon Hunter. This is Kim Sang-sik from our guild. If you’ll excuse me, would you like to have a nice day and talk about the future of the guild? Our guild’s office is **, and you can contact us at this number at any time. If you have any more questions…
-Cheonwoon Hunter. This is Junseong Guild, a cooperative company with the Hunter Management Bureau of the Southern Gyeonggi Special District. If you haven’t signed a contract with another guild, would you like to sign a contract with our guild? Hunter, I promise you the best treatment in the guild. The benefits of signing a contract with our guild include 6 major insurances, basic contracts for B-class hunters, and an average annual salary of 2 billion…
―This is the Gyeonggi Southern Special District Social Welfare Foundation. Countless children in need are waiting for your help…
It took longer to read cell phone messages that piled up every day than to go through cracks.
Various guilds and organizations contacted me about how they knew my personal information.
When you enter the rift, scouts appear, hand over gifts, and make a fuss about signing a contract with their guild.
Other broadcasting and reporter interview requests come in.
After becoming a B-class hunter, I gradually gained recognition and had more dealing with people.
“What are you doing?”
While I was looking at my phone and closed my eyes, Lee Yu-na, who was lounging in bed, asked.
“I’m thinking about it.”
“What are you thinking?”
“Would you like to leave this area?”
I might be too grown up to continue to work in the Gyeonggi Southern Special District.
It reminds me of the people I met in the Gangwon Central Special District.
It reminded me of Taeyoung Guild’s hunters, and I remembered the special forces who greeted me at the pass.
I also thought of the elderly people I met in dangerous areas outside Gyeonggi.
After clearing Arachne Forest, he held my hand and thanked me over and over again.
There are many people in the world who need help.
And I had the power to save even them beyond the Gyeonggi Southern Special District.
“Uh? Are we moving?”
Lee Yu-na turned to me and asked.
If you say you’re moving out of here, you might be wondering if you’re moving your house too.
“Lee Yu-na, will there be more things to do in Seoul than here?”
“Why? Are you bored?”
“No, rather than being bored, cracks became too easy.”
When I go to Seoul, there are more jobs than here.
Requests came in from all over the country, and it was good to experience more diverse cracks.
At least you will be fighting stronger enemies than those in the Gyeonggi Southern Special District.
“Well, it’s been very peaceful around here these days.”
Lee Yu-na agreed with my opinion.
The treatment has progressed a lot, and she has become active.
Enough for her to get around on her own without treatment for a week or two.
She was just as bored as I was.
“What are you going to do when you go up to Seoul? Are you going to join a guild? Or the Hunter Association?”
“I’m thinking about that.”
Guild membership and Hunter Association.
Both had their pros and cons.
The place that gave more money was the guild, and the place where it was worthwhile to work was the Hunter Association.
