Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 82 follow up (2)

Level 30.

Hyunmoo felt proud of the level he had achieved.

The monsters in the truncation dungeon weren't very helpful, but probably because the level of the fallen empire ratmen was so high, Hyunmoo was able to achieve level 30 in just two days.

He was in the mood to hold on to anyone and brag about it.

"Oh, Kang Hyunmoo. What are you doing here?"

Someone spoke to Hyunmoo, who was standing on the terrace. He was the youngest Hunter on the Obsidian team. He can't remember his name, but he knew he was younger than him.

Inside, the funeral ceremony for the hunter who was sacrificed in the truncation dungeon was in progress.

Although Lee Ji-tae had not yet returned from the Chuncheon Dungeon, he could not wait as he did not know when he would return.

The funeral was held by Tae-Sung's office manager, Tae-Min-Soo. Hyunmoo had a proud expression on his face, then unconsciously checked the Hunter's level and his face hardened.

[Human (LV 32)]

“……”

"Uh, my, what did I say wrong?"

When Hyunmoo did not answer, the youngest hunter slowly retreated and disappeared as if running away.

Hyunmoo sighed at his pity.

'okay. What's wrong with that baby?'

In terms of experience alone, that friend must have been more than 10 years old. It must have been a level I made while playing as a hunter as soon as I became an adult.

But, isn't Hyunmoo a level that was made with just over two months of time? Comparison is impossible.

Considering the level to be raised in the future, it was unlikely that it would take more than three months to catch up with Lee Ji-tae. You'll have to be lucky, though.

After the expedition was over, there were several other hunters besides that hunter who crawled and talked to them.

The only case where he spoke was if he had the courage. The Obsidian team continued to glance at Hyunmoo, seemingly talking to the other Clan Hunters in the dungeon.

'You seem to have left a deep impression.'

In fact, it's safe to say that Hyunmoo has no enemies against monsters, at least at this point.

But dealing with humans was a problem. Even with that hunter, if there was a fight, Hyunmoo wouldn't be able to show his overwhelming appearance.

Because of this, Hyunmoo was focused on overpowering his opponents before being confronted. The new rumors will add to the flesh and wrap Hyunmoo in horror and madness.

In front of the funeral hall, the weeping family members were seen. He gained the honor of being the first in Korea to completely suppress the flood, but he could not be happy because there were many unfortunate victims. In addition, there was a surge in the global Flood.

'Fludra in 24 dungeons in just a few days... … .'

Fortunately, there are no high-grade dungeons, so they are kept stable, but the message they throw is clear. The difficulty will increase soon.

'I don't know when it will be.'

Then there was the sound of the banquet hall being cluttered. The funeral seemed to be over.

The bereaved family got up and headed somewhere, and the Hunters remained at their seats with heavy expressions.

“Then, from now on, I will start the auction of the relics.”

It may sound strange to auction a keepsake at a funeral, but it was common in the world of hunters, where every single item was treated as precious.

The bereaved family also preferred to sell to the deceased's co-workers first, rather than having a difficult time finding a seller.

Hyunmoo also took a seat and sat down.

'Let's see, if there is something that can be used as a production blueprint, shall I buy it?'The budget is not short.

At the time of the truncated dungeon flood, Hyunmoo's fortune had already grown considerably, and after the expedition there, it blew up again.

It was like watching the money take care of cubs and breeding. But the flood doesn't end there. Korea will be quiet for a while, but globally it will continue to explode.

The more chaotic the world becomes, the more opportunities come to you. The status and value of Hunters will rise even more.

Hyunmoo stood at the forefront of the flow.

'Maybe he really touched the first domino.'

The auction started, but there were no items to make an impression. It was because most of the items paid by Taeseong were recovered and there were many personal items.

It was then. One item auction caught Hyunmoo's attention.

The item wasn't the problem. Who participated in the auction was the problem.

"3200."

"3200 is here. Do you have anyone else to call?"

Then a man raised his finger. He meant adding another million won. People murmured when they saw the person participating in the auction.

The participant was Johann Hessner.

John raised the price, but other hunters continued to put money on it.

It didn't seem like a very good looking item, but I thought it might be something that had a personal story with a dead hunter.

The items that started at the beginning of the 2000s were approaching the late 4000s.

"4800, I'm here. Someone to call more...."

"1 million."

The eyes of the people in the auction house turned to the person who called the price.

It was Kang Hyunmoo.

The Hunter, who was participating in the auction, distorted his face.

'At least.'

It was an item I wanted to keep for personal reasons with the dead hunter. The actual value was around 3,000. However, it was not enough that John suddenly intervened, so he raised the price even to Kang Hyunmoo.

It's not a huge burden, but honestly, I didn't really want to get involved with Kang Hyunmoo because I was scared.

"100 million came out. Do you have someone to call for more?"

The host's gaze turned to Johann. It was clear that Hunter had given up, so only John had a chance to call.

Johan was looking at Hyunmoo with a hard gaze. Hyunmoo gave a light glance. John raised his finger once more.

"100 million came out. Anyone want to call more?"

"Two billion."

This time it was Hyunmoo. The murmur grew louder. Because everyone knew it wasn't worth that much.

After being silent for a while, John did not raise the price any more, as if he knew that Hyunmoo would buy it no matter how much he called.

"Then, 'Bracelet of Patience' sold for 200 million won."

Hyunmoo's gaze turned to John. Hyunmoo didn't even know he bought a bracelet.

The only thing that mattered was that John was interested in the bracelet.

***

After the auction, Hyunmoo took over the bracelet.

I was wondering if there was any hidden ability, so I checked it with a pair of glasses, but it was an ordinary rare grade equipment that corrected hand shake and made it possible to lift heavy objects for a long time.

'Why did you want to buy this?'

It won't be a mythical thing. John is a person who has achieved the 4 star limit level. Because he's not the kind of person whose money matters.

He needed it, but he probably wasn't something he was particularly obsessive about. But for Hyunmoo, that was enough.

As he walked out of the bathroom, Hyunmoo smiled as he saw the man standing waiting.

A dark-looking German man with a pale face and sunken eyes. It was Johann Hessner.

John approached and held out his hand first.

"Mr. Kang Hyunmoo. Nice to meet you."

Hyunmoo was able to talk for the first time in his life even though he was on the same expedition as John. Hyunmoo clasped his hands together.

"Nice to see you too."

"I was taken care of in the dungeon. Thank you for your help."

"We are members of the same expedition, of course we should help."

Hyunmoo answered without thinking, then noticed that the surroundings became quiet for a moment. He stood from a distance, and as the interpreter approached him, he looked stiff. It was then that Hyunmoo realized that he had conversed with Johan fluently in German.

In particular, the expedition members, who were frustrated because they could not talk to John, were the most surprised.

'Language understanding skills seem to be applied even when I speak.'

"Come to think of it, I can't see Priest John's bodyguards. They seem to have decided to hold a funeral in their hometown, don't they?"

It was John's bodyguards who suffered the most. There were so many victims, probably because he literally did not spare himself to protect John. However, at this funeral, neither John nor his bodyguards were seen. John gave a slightly subtle expression.

“They are… a little special, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

Hyunmoo was slightly interested in John's reaction. It was strange for the priest John to take the death of others so lightly.

Even if he is a Hunter, if he died for himself, he would have no choice but to be concerned. Suddenly, Hyunmoo remembered to point out a little about a creature of such low value that he would not care much about even if he died.

'Is it possible to become a family member?'

It has already been confirmed that John does not have the family skills. However, you can attach any number of family members even if you are not yourself.

Hyunmoo also used to entrust Kirsson to act alone on several occasions. The bodyguards were always wearing facemasks to cover their faces, so it was unclear whether they were human or not.

'Suspicious.'

But John didn't seem to want to go into detail.

He did not intend to raise any doubts by asking such a question. I had to figure this out a little more clearly, without the other party noticing it.

"Priest John, are you going back to your home country now?"

“I do not belong to the state.”

John answered calmly.

"I just go where I need to go. I have a personal relationship with Lee Ji-tae. Once I got an invitation from Lee Ji-tae, I have to decide where to go as soon as he returns."

Hyunmoo smiled.

John doesn't leave. Hyunmoo didn't want to leave it like that.

Hyunmoo knew as much about Johann as he could through Park Hwi-so.

Contrary to the impression of a reticent priest, he was a serious risk addict.

John was of a military priesthood.

Even though he was awakened to his powers, he went around the battlefield and participated in the suppression of the Syrian dungeon flood. And he lost most of his company there.After that, as if addicted, he became a hunter who only visited the dungeon where the flood occurred. He was subtly following his death.

'But according to the white bone records, I'm not just an adrenaline addict.'

At this time, John was an excellent healer, but he was not widely known because he only roamed dungeons. However, as the difficulty increases, his performance becomes stronger. He is even given this nickname.

'Johan Hessner, the ark of mankind.'

Hundreds of thousands of civilians have relied on John's single power to prolong their lives in Difficulty: Nightmares.

However, those who did not receive his protection had no choice but to be exposed to death.

However, in order to attack the dungeon, the help of a powerful healer was needed. But no one had the skills like John.

Thanks to this, even among the Hunters, opinions were divided over the whereabouts of John.

Will you clear the dungeon and reduce the threat of monsters, or will you continue to consume human life by colliding with hordes of distant monsters?

'I don't know which one is correct, but the pressure that John must have felt was enormous.'

So he committed suicide.

It is not strange to forget about religious beliefs.

No, it is doubtful that he would have continued to have religion by then.

The melancholy man before his eyes wandered around to die like that, but he survived until he finally got his own hands on it.

"Yeah, I thought you were going to buy this bracelet."

After thinking about it, Hyunmoo held out the bracelet of patience in front of John.

"Do you have any personal story to this bracelet?"

"No. I was just considering it because it had the features I needed."

The corners of Hyunmoo's lips went up.

"Then I'll give it to you as a present."

To give a present at a price that is ten times the original price and give it as a gift.

It was as if he had participated in the auction to talk to him, but John knew that he already knew. John stared at Hyunmoo.

"You cannot accept gifts without a cause. I was just trying to understand why you were trying to talk to me."

"Think about it after you receive it."

Hyunmoo almost forced himself to take over and grabbed the bracelet in Johan's hand.

John tried to frown lightly, but when he saw the bracelet he had been holding, he stiffened for a moment. Hyunmoo smiled softly.

"It'll be a little better than what you were originally going to buy."

Since John doesn't have Admiral Ren's eyeglasses, he won't be able to see the commentary.

In fact, it is an explanation that seems to be good for mental health if you don't see it. Anyway, it could be seen that it was compatible with the bracelet that John was buying.

'It's not bad for something made right in the bathroom.'

Thanks to this, Hyunmoo's knees were shaking from mana exhaustion.

He drank a temporary mana potion made by melting crystal moss, but the recovery rate was not as fast as hell. Hyunmoo pretended to be as calm as possible and opened her mouth.

"Do you have a handicap? Priest John?"

Johan's expression hardened at Hyunmoo's whisper.
