44 – Gates and Dungeons

*

Perhaps it was the first class, after only me and Seung-a practiced sparring, the class was finished, followed by other subjects such as math and Korean.

There may be some people who say why we learn this, but since the academy doesn’t just teach how to fight, it also has the character of a high school, so it’s only natural that it teaches general subjects.

‘It’s probably for the sake of students who think that the path of a hunter isn’t right and give up.’

I don’t think all 300 freshmen will walk the path of hunters to the end. And since you won’t be able to live your life only doing hunter work, it’s good to expand other options.

‘Of course I’m going to be making a lot of money for the rest of my life while working as a hunter.’

If you buy land and a few buildings, they will continue to rise, so I think that alone will be enough to feed your wives. If it’s not enough, you can participate in the raid a few times.

“Yuwon. Let’s go eat.”

As I listened to the class and thought about it, before I knew it, the class was over and it was time for lunch. Riera, who was sitting next to me after winning the next rock-paper-scissors game, pulled me over and we all moved to the restaurant and ate.

“Is it okay if I eat with you?”

“Me too. Brother.”

“Uh.”

Eris and Mei Wang also seemed to want to eat together, so I agreed, but Estelle, who sat next to me after winning rock-paper-scissors this time, pinched my back slightly.

I tried to ask her why, but when she turned her head and saw her expression, she didn’t want to ask. While we were eating our meal quietly, I could feel that there were more students talking about us than I expected.

-Yesterday, too, the chief ate with a lot of girls.

-Even all of them are beautiful. Will I be able to do that when I become a senior?

First of all, it has nothing to do with being the chief and having a lot of women around me, but I could understand their feelings for 10 minutes.

‘Because I was like that in my first life.’

I was afraid to look at the girls who were dressed up next to the handsome boy. I’m not particularly ugly, and it’s not that I’ve never been in a relationship, but I just was.

Even if you are in a relationship, there are things that make you dissatisfied when other people drag a few women around. Of course, I’m playing that undesirable role now.

-It turned out that the chief got angry because Wang Wei said something to those girls.

-It’s not like they’re all dating, right?

-Can it be? What’s wrong with those girls dating someone at the same time? Conversely, it wouldn’t be strange if those girls were dating three guys.

I wonder if everyone would be surprised to find out that half, if not all, of you are my wife. That bastard would have thought he had saved the country in his previous life, but I saved the world, so it was okay.

After eating like that, we moved to the classroom for the next class. Not long after, the instructor came in and the appearance was familiar.

‘Did you see it on YouTube? There’s something familiar about his face.’

“Nice to meet you. I am Instructor Kim Yong-hyeon, who is in charge of the gate strategy lecture. This class will conduct a theory class on the gate, and then conduct a hands-on exploration practice.”

‘Ah..!’

I remembered who it was. My first life, my friend Kim Yong-hyun, who always stayed as a D-class hunter and lived day by day.

At the level of a D-class hunter, the earnings were worse than the manager of a small business, so I often bought him food. But I never imagined that I would be able to face him at Beatrice Academy.

Would you have imagined that a guy who was a D-class hunter until the age of 30 would become an S-class hunter at the age of 52? He must have blossomed his hidden talent or found a chance in the dungeon.

‘It sucks. It still looks nice.’

It is emotional to see a guy who always walked around with his head down and his shoulders weak among high-ranking hunters proudly speaking at the world’s best academy.

I was looking at him with such a pitiful expression, but he opened his mouth while looking in my direction.

“Kim Yoo-won?”

“Yes.”

Still, we’ve been friends since childhood, and I wanted to recognize me just in case, but I didn’t see that kind of reaction.

Honestly, he said that he looked similar to his friend who died 22 years ago. It is abnormal to ask. I wouldn’t have been able to do that either.

“Do you know the difference between a gate and a dungeon?”

I cleared my thoughts about the past and answered his question. Of course I knew about the difference between a gate and a dungeon.

“The gate simply discharges monsters in large quantities once or continuously summons them, but each dungeon has a different theme and you can get various special rewards when you clear it.”

He nods.

“That’s right. As Yu-Won said, all you can get from the gate is by-products of monsters or gate hacks, but in dungeons, you can get various stats, skills, artifacts, and sometimes characteristics that belong to the system.”

Artifacts can be produced as byproducts of monsters obtained from gates, but natural artifacts can only be obtained from dungeons.

Because it is so rare, artisans who can create artifacts are in the limelight. I’m not here, but with Shin Woo’s level of skill, I’ll be able to sell hundreds of millions of products every time I make them in a few years.

If you think your skills will gradually improve, you can sell it for billions. If he said he would sell his masterpiece, this necklace right away, there would be an overflow of people who would sell more than 10 billion won.

“Instead, depending on the theme of the dungeon, the attack is much more complicated than the gate, so I can’t say that the dungeon is superior to the gate.”

That’s why you can’t recklessly challenge yourself even though you can get a lot from dungeons. Even depending on the theme, there are dungeons where one’s own power is meaningless at all, so being strong doesn’t necessarily mean you can clear them.

Just because you’re weak doesn’t mean you can’t clear it. That’s why I know that the number of low-level hunters who jump into the dungeon in the Salbaen dungeon, saying that they will at least try to rebound, exceeds a thousand units every year.

Of course, I know that the number of successful clearing and being reborn as a high-ranking hunter is less than 1/100. Still, he would run like a moth to a fire, thinking that 1/100 of them would be himself.

“Even if you don’t clear a dungeon, nothing big will happen, it just disappears, so I’m skeptical about challenging dungeons.”

‘What?’

When drinking with me, he cried out that he wanted to enter any dungeon, clear it, and become an S-class hunter.

“You probably know that there are over a thousand low-level hunters who die every year after entering a dungeon. But the number of high-level hunters is not as tough as I thought.”

That statement is correct. It’s not that a high-level hunter doesn’t encounter a wall, and there are people who try to overcome it with a straight attack method, but there is no way that there are people who want to use an expedient method.

In order to rise to a higher level, there were countless advanced hunters who challenged the dungeon to gain stronger power.

“If you guys have enough talent to enter this school, you can become strong enough without wishing for such luck, so I brought up the word to think about it once more when applying for a dungeon raid. A student I taught said that Because if I die in , the dragonfly will be ferocious.”

Even if you say that, those who enter will enter. The more desperate the situation, the more he ends up doing what people shouldn’t do.

“This is enough to talk about dungeons. Next, let’s talk about gates. Alice. Do you know about the types of gates?”

I thought you would ask me this time too, but next time I asked Ellis, the second-place finisher. It’s fortunate that I’m not the type to put all the spotlight on one person like Instructor Oh Dong-seok.

“Yes. It is divided into one-time gates and persistent gates.”

“You said it well. The gate is divided into a one-time gate that closes once all the monsters have been poured out, and an attribute gate that continuously produces monsters until the core is destroyed.”

I thought the gate from the house before was such a one-shot gate, but I was really surprised when her wives came out.

“Due to its characteristics, single-shot gates can suddenly appear anytime, anywhere and are dangerous. Persistent gates can be processed slowly over time, so the risk is low.”

If something like a one-shot gate opens in the middle of Seoul, a real mess will happen.

“Although these days, the risk of single-shot gates is also reduced because the gate detector takes about an hour before, unless it is a very small gate.”

Still, dozens of people were killed by a few goblins that popped out of that tiny gate, so that doesn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous.

After the class on the characteristics of the gate, he opened his mouth before the class was over.

“This is the end of today’s class. In the next class, we plan to practice with a mock gate, so please bring your own equipment.”

I’ve certainly heard that a simulated gate exists, but I’ve never seen it myself, so I was looking forward to it. In the midst of such anticipation, I suddenly heard an electric sound.

-Could you come to my instructor’s office before dinner time?

Kim Yong-hyun was calling me.
