Evolution Theory of the Hunter

Chapter 148

After inspecting this and that, I immediately started the item distribution.

Because there were close to 3,000 members, it was difficult to make them line up properly even with all my party members helping.

Ah. Dont cut in the line.

When did I cut in? Did you see?

Hah. You just got in front of me.

As if. When did I.

There were definitely people that were cutting in line to get it even a bit faster and the further back it was the line was not made properly causing the chaos to become larger.

Seonbae oppa. I dont think this will go well? As if we didnt know they were hunters, they dont listen at all.

Hm. Wait a minute.

I was wondering what I should do when I remembered the Conscript skill. I had thought that that skill might be able to control these people.

As soon as the skill was activated the map opened.

Blue dots were scattered around messily.

I collected them into a single place and made them stand in a line. As I made them line up windingly like a line at an amusement park the hunters really started naturally lining up.

Huh? Theyre suddenly creating a line well?

Its surprising even as Im watching it.

There were still people grumbling. There were also still people telling others not to cut in the line and start fights. However, they were still maintaining a good line.

This was a more useful skill than I thought.

After creating the line, the work became much faster.

A level 2 item for each person. If there werent enough level 2 items then it would be estimated as 2 level 1 items.

Of course, it wasnt like there werent complaints. The price of each item was different so it was possible for them to think that they have taken a loss.

Isnt this cheaper compared to the last persons?

A hunter said so while pointing at the person that just took an item.

I smiled at him.

And so?

What, I fought better so why are you giving me a cheaper one? You should at least give me an extra level 1 item.

Lee Yong-sung. A level 3 hunter yes?

How, how did you know my name.

That person just now was a level 4 hunter. Its not like I saw everybody fight so how would I set the standard?

Even so, I fought harder!

I will ask one thing. Do I have the responsibility to give you an item?

Of, of course, I fought putting my life on the line.

Really? You didnt just watch from behind the monsters?

.

If you dont like what I give you, you may just leave.

Hm Im sorry.

He bowed and took the item.

Of course, I didnt know if that person really fought hard or if he just watched.

However, there would be no end if I took into account each and every hunters complaint. If it was a large raid team then it would be possible to distribute it fairly after turning it all into cash but that was difficult in this situation after all.

Thats why, coming out strong is the answer right now.

It was better for both of us to show that there was nothing fishy going on here than to claim something else.

Of course, there might be hunters eyeing other peoples items.

That doesnt have anything to do with me.

Like that, I finished distributing items to close to 3,000 people.

Besides the few complainers, most had satisfied faces. The battle wasnt difficult in particular and after putting in some force the battle had already ended.

It can be said that they took more than they did.

Even after handing them out like that the number of items left was 7,000.

I took this for now.

There was no one that had complaints here. I had achieved that much after all.

On top of that, most didnt know how many items I really had. I was thinking that it was a really good idea to upgrade the manual.

I was resting after that work that took the entire day ended when a group of hunters came towards us.

It was a familiar face. With Joo Sae-yoon at the front, there was also Eum Young-hyeon and a strange formation with even An Gyu-bum included.

The time was also dinner time when it was getting dark.

Joo Sae-yoon who came to my party members who were sitting around after lighting a campfire looked down at me with a displeased look.

My entire body got tired thinking about what kind of nonsense he would spout.

Why did you ignore my order to come?

Give orders to your subordinates. Im just a normal hunter, not part of the government team.

As long as you have interfered in this business you are a related party.

Thats some funny logic. When you chased me out saying that I wasnt related before.

When are you saying I chased you out.

Joo Sae-yoons face became redder than the afternoon sunset.

Seeing how he easily got amnesia, he had the potential to rise up to become a high ranking government official. Should I say that hes a prepared member of the National Assembly.

Leave if youre going to make snobbish remarks. Or are you going to eat dinner with us?

I said so while holding the 3 Minute Soup in my hand. Team 2 worked hard as well so I am cooking today.

Of course, the taste wasnt good but since the others were exhausted it was better for the lively me to do it.

Sure.

Joo Sae-yoon took the soup dish in my hand and sat down.

What kind of situation was this?

As I looked at him with a surprised expression, he asked back with a face asking if there was a problem.

You must be curious as to why Im like this?

Im very curious.

I was wondering why this guy that was frustrated because of me before was coming out in such a friendly manner. There was no way a persons personality would change in a single day so he probably wants something from me.

He put the dish to the side and looked at me with a gentle look.

Its very uncomfortable so please say it if theres something you want from me.

I know that I have treated you unfairly in the past.

I think youve understood that a bit late.

Yeah. Anyway, I want to apologize for that time.

An incredibly suffocating feeling welled up. Should I say that it felt like eating a sweet potato without water in a dry sauna.

I think it would be better if he acted high handed and picked a fight instead. I couldnt tell what he was plotting which made it two times more suffocating.

I think it would be best to live on while pretending we dont know each other.

Dont be like that too much, an adult is trying to apologize like this so you can at least pretend to take it right.

He tried to be polite as he put a hand on my shoulder. I brushed it off as I resisted the urge to twist his arm.

I could see Joo Sae-yoons face stiffen.

However, his expression soon changed as he laughed.

Haha. This friend is really cross.

So, is that it? If you came to apologize then say that its been accepted with this.

Okay. Lets stay friendly. Theres no need to anger each other.

He said so as he continued his words.

About the Chungho Group though.

If youre asking for a trophy then I dont have anything on me.

I know. I have heard that you have distributed them to the hunter after all. What I want to say is about the ones that have run away. Do you have any thoughts on pursuing them?

I dont have any plans on doing such an annoying thing though.

Yeah. Youve thought well. You should leave such cumbersome things to us.

I swallowed my bitter laugh as I looked at Joo Sae-yoon patting my back.

So he came to persuade me about the issue of taking care of the remnants?

Even if they were remnants there were still about 5,000 of them scattered about in the forest so it seems hes planning on taking the achievement of wiping them out.

Also, theres no doubt that he came here to apologize to prevent me from saying something weird.

I was in pure admiration.

This guy was a really amazing guy.

Even if it was for promotion how could he be so shameless.

If it ended like this then he would be able to make up for his mistake somehow. He wouldnt have come to me without calculating such things after all.

It was actually not a bad thing for me either. It was a good chance to clear up the bad relationship with him.

He was still a central figure in the National Defense Department and there was nothing good about having a bad relationship with that kind of person. It can just be said that its good for both of us as we make up.

However, a break was put from the corner of my mind.

I knew that it was an intelligent thing to do to resolve it like this. However, looking at his shameless attitude laughing after fucking over someone makes the soup I ate just now come back up you see.

What did I have to do about this.

A decision wasnt easily made.

Then good work. I made you waste your precious eating time. I will buy you dinner to make up for it.

Joo Sae-yoon got up as he said so.

My mind instantly cleared up at his words.

Ah. I see.

If things ended like this then there would be more chances to see that guy from now on.

If this business ended in this manner his promotion is set in stone and he would do all sorts of things to get to a higher position.

Also, I would have to watch that.

I almost forgot something big while only looking at the profit in front of my eyes.

I slowly opened my mouth towards him who had just turned around.

Joo Sae-yoon?

What is it?

He turned around with a smile on his face.

About cleaning the remnants.

I indicated the thousands of hunters that had settled down around us.

I think those people would be interested?

What did you say?

I could see Joo Sae-yoons smile crack.

What did you just say?

Youre expression management isnt going well. Didnt we just make up?

Are you telling me that youre going to meddle using those guys?

Meddle you say. Its something theyre doing to eat and live. Its not like Im urging them, its something theyre doing on their own accord so how would I stop them?

Dont joke around with me. You ordered them right?

No way. They arent even my underlings so why would they follow my orders?

Do you take me as a food?

He suddenly grabbed my collar.

Hes finally showing his true colors. The suffocating feeling just got washed away.

Looking at this kind of thing, it seems Soo-ahs evaluation of me having a bad personality didnt seem to be completely false.

Seonbae oppa!

My party members who had already felt that the mood was not normal had already gotten up from their seats. Soo-ah seemed like she would send a punch at any moment so I gestured to calm her down.

You will regret it if you dont let go you know?

I will let go if you promise to make it so that those guys dont put their hands on the Chungho Group.

Why must I do so?

Do you not know who I am yet? With just a word from me I can make you not get even close to dungeons for the rest of your life.
