Chapter 162 – 162. Contractors Have Good Equipment.

The three people picked up the dropped awakening stones. There are pros and cons to this awakening stone.

‘I have to take care of everything one by one…’

Of course, awakening stones have many more benefits, but it is difficult to obtain them when you are in a hurry. Still, I can’t help it because I’m quite satisfied with the advantage of being able to immediately create a shadow spirit and steal the skill, as well as being able to stock it up indefinitely.

‘Let’s see.’

First, I checked the awakening stones of the three people.

First, it is the awakening stone of the woman who was killed first.

[Humor fluid medicine (A)]

[Effect: The salivary glands can produce substances that aid recovery.]

[Penalty: You feel thirsty easily and water intake increases.]

‘It already exists.’

This is the skill I gave to Saeyeon. It is even a skill that has already been strengthened to S rank. Still, I have to take care of it for now. If you get another one, you can make it SS level, or you can give it to someone else, and I’ll have something to use it someday.

Next is the awakening stone of the gangster who attacked me. This guy’s survival rating was over 10, so it had two skills.

[Presence detection (A)]

[Effect: Detects the presence of a target in an adjacent distance.]

[Handicap: You must keep your eyes closed while using the ability.]

[Penalty: After using the ability, you will say what you confirmed out loud.]

[Presence detection (A)]

[Effect: Determines the strength of a target in an adjacent distance.]

[Penalty: The moment you use the ability, your presence will be discovered.]

I thought this guy was a swordsman because he used a knife, but he was a detective.

‘I already have an S-class presence detection, and presence detection is quite good.’

If you’ve already been caught by the enemy, the penalty isn’t a big deal. Moreover, I thought that the penalty itself could be used as a kind of aggro.

Couldn’t it be possible to lure me into a trap by intentionally letting me know my location?

Anyway, let me eat this.

‘Last.’

This is the awakening stone of the man with glasses who sat down and cried.

[Crushing Blow (C)]

[Effect: Generates a shock wave when swinging a blunt weapon.]

[Handicap: You must strongly believe that you are using Crushing Blow for the ability to activate.]

[Penalty: After using it 10 times, one nail will fall out. When using a skill, weapon durability decreases quickly.]

The guy had a crushing blow. Wow, he had perfect skills.

‘If you use it 10 times, your nails will fall off, but if you can endure the pain, it’s a good skill.’

I’ve already upgraded to S level, so my fingernails won’t fall out, but for those who can’t, it’s going to be quite a struggle.

The effect of the skill is so good that you will definitely have to use it a lot for survival, but for ordinary people who cannot strengthen it, their nails fall out every 10 times they are used, and if you use them all 100 times, you cannot use them until your nails grow back.

It’s a 100 round magazine. Even, unless your stamina and vitality stats are very high like me or Ayun, it is quite a struggle for your fingernails to fall out and grow back.

‘Anyway, I checked all the skills.’

The female awakened body was dragged outside and devoured by unidentified monsters, so the two corpses remaining inside the container were traded, and 3 stat points were consumed.

If the strength stat is too high, it will be difficult for me to control it, so I did not focus on the endurance stat.

‘Next.’

I searched the bags of dead survivors. I was wondering if there was anything useful.

“Uh, over there.”

Then Mia, who was watching me from the corner, spoke to me. There was nothing in the bag that looked very appetizing, so she threw it on the ground and then came face to face with Mia.

“Okay. “You said Raina, right?”

“Oh, it’s Leo.”

“Yes, Leona. As soon as you leave, I’ll open the warehouse door, so go in there and hide.”

“Yes?”

Leona looks embarrassed. I explained to her the general plan.

“Hey… I’m sorry. Is this really what you want to do with that operation?”

“Huh? Uh, what is it?”

When Leona heard my plan, she took out the key to the mobile storage unit from her pocket with a slightly troubled expression.

It’s a reward, so other people may have the same thing, but wasn’t that an automatically generated NPC?

And you can’t use portable storage. What kind of bullshit is that?

“Well, when I tried to use this, it wouldn’t open. Should I say that it seems like they are trying to prevent theft?”

Leona said she has already used it. But wasn’t this guy summoned to the simple labyrinth like me? Could it be that she brought back the souls of those who had previously died?

Maybe so. She said she was Mia, but didn’t tell me her exact identity. Before I came in, that is, I may have revived a survivor who had died in the labyrinth that had been opened once before.

“Well, my memory is a little hazy. Apparently, he was killed by the logistics manager after wandering around here for a while, but for some reason, he was standing next to him.”

“Then where are you from? USA? Europe?”

“Yes? America? Where is it again?”

“What? “How come you don’t know America?”

“Is this information that I shouldn’t know?”

Of course. People on Earth should not know about America.

No, foreigners can understand Korea, an East Asian country, even if they don’t know much about it, but for the United States, it is really basic common sense. If you don’t know this, you are not an Earthling.

Uh? Are you not from Earth? Did I get it wrong again?

“Aren’t you from Earth?”

“What is Earth?”

“You’re not from Earth.”

It wasn’t from Earth.

There seems to be some back settings to this that I don’t know about.

When I asked him, he didn’t seem to be from Earth either. Could it be that this woman was a person from another dimension or planet who was wandering around the labyrinth in her own way?

What is important is the information about the labyrinth that this woman possesses.

“All memories of childhood and the past are vague, but the information about the labyrinth is clear?”

“Yes.”

“First, tell me everything you know.”

Leona blurted out information about the collapsed storage unit. From loading and unloading slaves, delivery drivers, and logistics managers who appear here to even information about containers hidden here and there.

“So, rare items sometimes appear in blue containers. Green means food and recovery items, and the gray we are in means there is nothing.”

“Yes. That’s right. And the number of people it can accommodate varies depending on the number written on the container.”

“Okay. “For now, I roughly understand everything.”

Since I can’t use a portable storage unit, I don’t think this will work out as well as I thought. The plan went awry. She needs to get out and protect this woman.

[Hey]

“Huh?”

“Yes?”

“No, not you. “I’m talking to my guardian spirit.”

“Aha. There is also a guardian spirit.”

“Huh. So agape. “Why?”

[I can feel the strange vibe that store owners give off in that woman.]

“Huh?”

Agaf said he felt something from Leona. She said it felt similar to how she felt when she entered the store gate. So does this mean she is also a store NPC or something?

“Hey, Leona. Why did you come into this place?”

“Well, I’m trying to find treasure.”

“Treasure?”

“Yes. There are many gates like this open in our world too. There is a job called Hunter that makes money by robbing gates and taking magic stones or items. “I did something like that.”

“Huh.”

Hunter. Someone’s world was neglected, and their entire civilization was ruined, but the world this woman lived in seems to have been a rather carefree world.

‘Now that I think about it, I didn’t check the skills this woman had.’

Since she was a former hunter, she must have some skills.

[Title: Box Looter]

[Information: Find more items in reward chests or labyrinths. This is a skill belonging to Explorer Leona.]

[Title: Labyrinth Expert]

[Information: ■■■ At the Academy, I learned a variety of knowledge about the Labyrinth. This is a skill belonging to Explorer Leona.]

[Title: Mana Combat Art]

[Information: ​■■■ This is a combat technique using magical power learned at the academy. This is a skill belonging to Explorer Leona.]

[Title: A Rank Hunter]

[Information: ■■I am a certified A-rank hunter. He has several survival skills. This is a skill belonging to Explorer Leona.]

“Wow.”

It’s quite different from the skills I’ve seen so far. It is displayed as a title, not a skill.

Even part of the notification window was slightly broken.

It’s a strange feeling. Maybe it’s because he’s from a completely different world, but his skills are a bit unique.

Can I kill and take this away?

“Hmm. For now, just keep hiding here.”

“Yes.?”

“A guest has arrived.”

I talked to Leona for about 10 minutes. It seems that that amount of time was enough.

‘It’s bloody.’

A little while ago, I was informed by the presence detection that I had eaten with the Glasses Man’s awakening stone. The guy who came here is quite strong.

‘Suddenly, all traces of slaves loading and unloading disappeared.’

Everything must have been left behind.

Even though they have been strengthened by the labyrinth runaway, they are easily dealt with and are emitting energy outside the container.

“Whoa.”

I went out, leaving Leona in her container.

-Quaaang!!!!!

A steel weight flew in as soon as the door was opened.

“Huh?!”

“Well, you’re saying hello like hell.”

I grabbed the steel weight attached to the chain with my bare hands. My palms are tingling, and my arms feel slightly tingling. Did you use some skill?

“…”

A monster holding a chain scythe was glaring at me with flashing red eyes. The energy felt from him was considerable. Is this really a contract killer?

But that kid’s equipment looks kinda cool…

‘The helmet covering his face, chain scythe, chain mail, and gloves look really cool. Potion belt on the waist?! And! The skill is.’

[Contempt for the weak (S)]

[Effect: Nullifies all mental attacks of beings weaker than you and causes you to panic.]

[Handicap: Eyes glow red when using a skill.]

[Penalty: If you fight an opponent stronger than you, your physical abilities will decrease.]

[Handicap: If your dantian becomes empty, you will feel anemia.]

[Penalty: If you do not meditate for more than 30 minutes a day, you will feel a slight sense of exhaustion.]

[Imposition of Magical Power (A)]

[Effect: Adds magical power to the object you are holding, increasing its destructive power.

[Handicap: You must have magical power in your body.]

[Self-Defense Strength (A)]

[Effect: Using magical power, you can create a strong defensive shield by surrounding the surface of your body with a magic field.]

[Handicap: Affected by durability stat.]

[Penalty: If you receive an impact that breaks your self-defense skills, you will be stunned for 10 seconds.]

I think this guy is going to drop a lot of delicious food.

My mouth is already watering.
