Dungeon Hunter
Chapter 42's

Information Collection

Next day.

Kang Oh sold all the materials he took from Baramut cave.

'I will keep his staff for now, but I wonder how much the grimoire will cost?'

Kang Oh postponed the sale of the grimoire and staff for now.

He stuffed all the junk into his demon sword, and he also sold equipment that had been worn out by Baramut's set of armor.

In total, he had made a little over 1,700 gold, combining how much he had and how much he had earned from selling them all.

'Let's turn 1,000 gold into cash.'

Kang Oh heads to the Currency Exchange Office, which is near Vidocq Square, so he can exchange his gold for cash.

The Office of Currency Exchange, as mentioned, is a place where gold is converted into cash, so it is operated by game users.

Apparently, the famous trading class user, Limidas, first started this exchange business and made a lot of money.

"Welcome," a potbellied user, who served in the Currency Exchange Office, greeted him.

The Office of Currency Exchange doubles as a pawnshop and also has the same structure.

Also, he saw a sign detailing the market value of gold, as well as commission fees.

Gold market price: 1 gold \= 10,000 won ($10 USD)

Not handling silver.

Gold to cash exchange commission fee: 2%

'This is still 1 gold for 10,000 won.'

Basically, Arth is a game that players make a lot of money and spend a lot of money on.

Users spent most of their money on equipment and potions.

Good equipment cost over several thousand gold. The best equipment even sold for tens of thousands of gold.

There were basically two types of potions; one red, which recovered HP, and one blue, which recovered MP.

The price of the herbs varied based on their performance; they could range from 1 gold to 100 gold.

Since Kang Oh can avoid most of the attacks through his Hyper Intuition, he doesn't need to use potions.

[You have completed Baramut's Courageous Claws.]

[You have completed the Wind Surpassing Boots Baramut]

[You have gathered all the pieces from the Baramut set. All regulated effects are now active.]

[By complementing Baramut's Dignity Filled Heart, a Dignity stat had been created.]

[Dignity is the ability to earn the respect of all. The higher the status, the easier it is to make one delivery.]

As the ratings and other users continued to grow, they gradually produced more gold.

"How does it look, Eder!?"

Kang Oh, who completes the Baramut set, starts to boast in front of Eder.

"I-This is pretty good," Eder replied blankly.

Baramut Set!

Performance is important, but the design is amazing.

Silver metal and tiger patterns became the basis of his design, making it look unique and charming.

Moreover, tying the demon sword on his back made him seem like a legendary hero.

Kang Oh, satisfied with Eder's reaction, opened his skill window and looked at the skills he had learned.

Kang Oh took out ten bars of gold and gave them to the owner.

[Devil Sword Science]

Demon Sword Science was a Demon Swordsman class skill. In other words, the bigger the Demon Sword, the bigger the Demon Sword.

The higher the Demon Sword Science was, the stronger the demon sword special abilities and the Demon Sword class skill itself.

[Attack of Darkness]

Giving a powerful punch that used the power of darkness that resided within the demon sword.

When you attack or use a battle-related skill, there is a fixed possibility that it will be active.

If Demon Sword Ubist were to attack the enemy with a Dark Attack, then there was a chance that the stats would be stolen.

But if Ubist is gone, then the statistics are back to normal.

So far Jayce has given him useful information.

"There is an oasis that has never been found before in the Baritone Desert; they say that there are a lot of hidden treasures there."

You can revive the Quiet King of the Lavero Forest, Baramut Roar.

Since it was an innate feature of the Baramut set, it had no rank or proficiency.

The information is trustworthy.

[Tempest Tiger]

It breathed out a powerful tiger-shaped aura. The wind raged along with the aura, causing damage on a massive scale.

Cooling: 2 min

Stage: Beginner

After Jayce finished, a search came up.

His other skill, corresponding to the character who had thrown away all of his spare stat points to the Sense, also increased rapidly.

But unfortunately, Roar Baramut was a skill activated by the set of armor, so his abilities could not be improved.

Instead, he obtained the aura skill, Tempest Tiger!

In other words, he did not have to kill every single monster separately, but could gather them in one location and kill them at once with the Tempest Tiger!

Of course, he would not know exactly how powerful it was until he used it himself.

'We will try to use it little by little.'

Kang Oh finished checking his unexpected gains.

He also planned on taking all the valuables inside Bercy's house as well.

The unexpected profit was too great.

Unless Baramut had obtained around 1,000 gold or there were SS-ranked Mage equipment in Bercy's house, then there wouldn't be much of an interest.

'Just keep it up, I won't leave a single coin here.'

Kang Oh searched the cave.

He soon found a space covered in cloth.

It was the place where Baramut left his fortune.

There were piles of gold, gemstones, and materials inside.

'It's only about 300 gold, yes.'

As he had expected, since he had already received such a sweet gift like honey, seeing such a sweet gift did not help him much.

In other words, he was full.

'Hm. There are some strange materials here as well.'

Kang Oh gathered all the gold and materials.

Black steel (more valuable than ordinary steel), small pearls and one diamond, mysterious patterned cloth, etc. Kang Oh gathered everything together and put it into his inventory.

After collecting everything Baramut had stored, Kang Oh headed to Bercy's house.

There, he found equipment and magic devices that could be sold.

Kang Oh raised what looked like the stick Bercy used when he was alive, 'Gentle Wind Innabobokan' and checked the information.

"I'll have to sell this later."

It was an A-rank limited staff, level 300.

He could keep it for now, but when the other users reached level 300, he could sell it for a good price.

Kang Oh put the staff into his inventory and took out the heaviest-looking books on the bookshelf.

The cover says, . It was written by Bercy.

He checks the info and discovers that he can learn two different spells from her: North Wind and Cold Snow, as well as Gale Piercing.

"It'll make me money."

Sense is a stat that masters 'skills', while Magic masters 'spells'.

'Skills' are learned through textbooks while 'mantras' are learned through magic books.

But normally, magic books were more expensive than skill textbooks.

Plus, Bercy's grimoire doesn't teach one, but two spells, so it will prove more expensive.

"Is there anything else ..."

Kang Oh perused the other books on the shelf, but there was nothing else of value there.

He looked through the entire room once more in case he missed something but found nothing.

"Are we going?" Kang Oh told Eder.

Eder did not leave empty-handed.

His hands were filled with rare books that were precious to Bercy.

Books or information stories such as , , and .

Obviously, it's not a book that's worth anything. If it did, Kang Oh would immediately take it from his hands.

It's just a book Eder wants to read.

"But how do we get out of here? I don't see Weasel Beads or wind magic scrolls" Eder asked.

"It's okay. I've learned wind techniques."

Kang Oh and Eder leave Bercy and Baramut's residence, pass through the Quiet Lavero Forest and finally arrive at the cave where the portal first opened.

"Heup."

Kang Oh swung his sword.

He felt a large amount of MP leaving him like a tidal tide.

Activate Tempest Tiger!

The tiger-shaped aura spewed out a golden light from his jet-black blade, projecting in all directions.

This was followed by a strong and raging wind that hit the wall like a whip.

Peopeok!

The wind started to imprint on the wall as if a snake was crawling along the wall.

Above all, a golden light tiger swept through everything like a bulldozer.

The rocks on the ground were crushed, and the gemstones on the ceiling of the cave were cracked. Finally, there was a direct collision between the wall and the aura.

The kwang!

A deafening roar rang out throughout, and a hole was made in the wall.

"Wow."

Kang Oh's spine throbbed due to his extremely destructive skill ability.

Storm Tigers!

There is a reason it costs 500 MP. That's very powerful.

"Ooooh," Eder groaned from beside him.

If Eder was swept away by the tiger and the wind, then he would be blown to pieces.

It's horrible just thinking about it.

'How can you give him such an amazing ability. Holy hooch!'

Eder decides to be more careful so that he doesn't disturb Kang Oh's nerves in the future.

After all, a portal opened before Kang Oh and Eder who were breathing the wind.

They entered the portal and immediately returned to Altein.

There's a full moon over the city with no night, Altein.

"See you tomorrow."

"okay."

Kang Oh and Eder split up.

"Go to the water magic laboratory on the 7th floor. That's where he works."

“Give me the cover letter,” said Kang Oh.

Tino carried an old piece of paper and pen, which was on top of the ornament on one side of the bar, and began writing a cover letter.

After he finished, he handed the cover letter to Kang Oh.

"Here."

"You didn't lie when you said you two were close, did you?"

Kang Oh looked at him suspiciously.

There was a chance that he would be poorly received if he went to the Witch Tower with Tino's letter of introduction.

This was especially true since Tino was the type of person to do such a thing.

"I'm not too close to them. We were close enough that they greeted me as I passed them."

"okay."

It seems he didn't cheat her. If yes, then Hyper Intuition will be activated.

"Then I'll go."

He has nothing to do with Tino today. Kang Oh stood up.

"Um... What about the cost of information?" Tino asked softly.

"Is the seafood soup not enough?"

"No, not that, but... The alcohol here is pretty good."

In other words, he wanted Kang Oh to buy him alcohol as well.

Instead of buying him alcohol, Kang Oh took out 10 gold from his chest and threw it at Tino.

"Thank you!"

Tino received 10 gold and had fun. For someone who lives everyday, 10 gold is quite a lot of money.

Of course, 10 gold was also quite a lot of money for Kang Oh. After all, it was worth 100,000 won.

However, he gave butter to Tino when he needed the info next time.

"See you."

Kang Oh left the bar.

He headed for the Altein Witch Tower, known as the Witch's Crib.
