Chapter 68 – Points, Skills and Levels (4)
Immediately after getting up from bed, I prepared to visit the Hunter Autonomous Guild.
Because Doshi-hee took me to the department store as soon as we met, it wasn’t too much luggage to visit somewhere without stopping at home.
This amount of luggage was not even the slightest restriction for me.
After all, I just put my luggage in the pocket of the subspace and took it out of the house.
Of course, I used it to collect monster materials, and it was very useful when I stored my sword or luggage in this way.
If I had to keep only one thing I bought at the point shop, it would be a subspace bag.
“Ah.”
Come to think of it, I have to change clothes to go to work in the dungeon.
It wasn’t that he was going to change from a hotel gown to street clothes, but that he was going to change into clothes that were good for working in the Guild.
I can’t deny that the clothes Doshi-hee bought are high-performance clothes.
Still, it was better to wear clothes that were a little more comfortable to be active in the dungeon, sweating and being covered in monster blood.
Above all, the ability to wield a sword was put first, so the clothes with high utilization were those that were easy to move.
Jeans and a cotton tee would be much better for vigorous movement than a semi-suit.
With that thought in mind, I opened the shopping bags Doshi-hee delivered to the hotel one by one.
In one of the four paper bags, I was able to find the clothes I was wearing when I went out yesterday morning.
A white cotton tee, light-colored jeans, and plain sneakers….
…… Huh?
“Isn’t there something oddly different?”
The cotton tea design was a bonded brand without even a logo from the beginning, so even so.
Apparently, the jeans, which had lost some color after wearing them for a long time, had regained their original deep blue color.
Even the sneakers, which had some traces of the years, looked as clean as new.
As soon as I picked up the clothes, a sense of incongruity passed through my mind.
Maybe my clothes were swapped with someone else’s laundry without my knowledge, that kind of thought.
“Looking at the design and size, it seems to fit roughly….”
It was a bonded brand without even a logo, so the only means to estimate was the design and dimensions.
Since those two things aren’t wrong, it would be more correct to say that it’s my clothes.
Other than that, the clothes were brand new, so there was only one conclusion I could come to.
“It was probably the laundry where the Awoken worked.”
Some Awakeners’ abilities were often used in society even if they did not have to live a hunter life.
Considering that a person with an awakening ability specialized in washing was in charge of my clothes, it was not difficult to understand.
Because there were many times when the common sense of this world could not be judged by the common sense of the world I had lived in my previous life.
If you go over these things one by one, it will look rather tacky.
“By the way, it looks really new. The fray marks on the inside of the jeans are gone, and there are some seams on the inside of the tee as well.”
This must be the laundry technique of the rich.
Anyway, the money is really good.
After taking out the underwear from the magic laundry tool installed in the hotel room and changing.
The top and bottom are back to the cotton tee jeans I originally wore.
Finally, after wearing sneakers that have been used for quite a long time and have lost their traces of time.
All the rest of the clothes and shopping bags were put in the pockets of the subspace.
I’ll have to keep this here until I get home.
Anyway, there were more than 150 squares left after doing this, and it wouldn’t be difficult because the guild was running out of capacity.
Finally, I pulled out the hotel card key that was plugged into the entrance and left the room.
With the determination to somehow grow into a B-class hunter through today’s achievements.

In the Hunter Guild, three things were usually considered the most when raising the rank.
Competence, integrity, and number of commissions completed.
Competence refers to the ability of the Hunter itself, so of course it was a must.
Even if it was a combination guild that went back to the rule of thumb, if you raised a hunter with poor abilities to a higher rank, of course you would be cursed.
The commonality of the three guilds, including the combination, was that at least one ‘ability’ was guaranteed to raise the level of the hunter.
Then sincerity.
To put it simply, it was good to see it in a form similar to a promotion due to long service.
As a Hunter, how consistently did you go to work without leave without leave, and how you returned with meaningful results every time you returned from an expedition.
Figuring out those things was the item called sincerity.
In fact, even though Hanmin Ado’s ability itself was close to B-class, it was said that she rose to the A-class hunter with crazy diligence, taking less than three days off a year.
Although it was not impossible to raise the Hunter rank with sincerity if the competence was lacking.
For me now, it wasn’t something worth paying attention to.
First of all, it was impossible to prove the sincerity of a new hunter who had been employed for less than a month.
Above all, in the Guild Guild, sincerity was rarely used as a metric for rating hunters.
Unlike companies or foundation guilds, which usually do not leak their manpower to the outside once they belong to it.
Because the Guild Guild still had a strong image, such as ‘a place you go through before entering another guild’ or ‘a place where hunters belonging to other guilds work as a hobby’.
It was an unavoidable reality because it was the guild with the most capital shortage among the three major guilds in Korea.
So even if you register with an appropriate pseudonym, you register as a hunter without any further identification process.
Compared to other guilds, the rise in the hunter’s rank was done quickly.
If it’s a strong hunter that the combination can’t accommodate anyway, he’ll try to move to another guild right away.
In order to buy as many advanced monster materials as possible before moving, it was better to quickly raise the hunter’s grade of the affiliated hunter.
Or, like Cha Yu-ri, openly sharing the same name as the company and turning a blind eye to even if you are active in the guild as a hobby.
That was how the Hunter Autonomous Association survived among the three major guilds in Korea.
In fact, many guilds that could not compromise on this part perished in this Infernal Peninsula.
Rather than following a stork halfway and getting its crotch torn, it is to realize that it is a quail from the beginning and not to spread its wings.
It was a lesson that could be used not only in the Guild Guild, but also in everyday life.
Anyway, in such a combination guild, there were few people who raised the hunter rank to sincerity.
In the first place, being sincere as a Hunter means that you have enough stamina to go out on a campaign often and not get tired.
It was normal for most of them to get a job or change jobs at that company.
I also had no intention of raising my Hunter rating with sincerity.
In order to be a criterion for confirming sincerity, it would have to be proved by going out on the battlefield for at least one to two years.
It was a very time-consuming task for me, who set the goal of moving to a company before the end of the year.
And the last thing left is the number of requests completed.
Basically, all hunter guilds bought monster materials from the guild when hunters found them.
It was the basic principle of the guild to sell to the other party who needed the material again.
Occasionally, materials that could not be obtained through normal transactions were posted on the guild bulletin board under the name of ‘Request’.
It’s not usually popular, so I have to get a material that the hunter itself doesn’t have.
Or things that are easily perishable, so it’s a bit difficult to buy them from the guild.
If that’s not the case, you need to use it urgently, but the guild is out of stock, so it’s a difficult situation.
There may be many reasons, but the reason was not my knowledge.
I just focused on processing those requests at once and raising my Hunter level.
Because, completing many of these quests is the fastest way to raise your Hunter rank.
Basically, when receiving a request from a guild, it was common to accept it after considering profitability or achievement potential.
Even so, there was still a distinction between popular and unpopular quests.
It was a really difficult quest, so no one wanted to do it.
Either the reward conditions were not attractive enough to solve the request.
Or, there must have been an example where a hunter with the ability to accomplish the request could not grasp the existence of the request itself for various reasons.
Because there were thousands of requests posted on the Hunter Guild’s homepage.
It wasn’t that there wasn’t a search engine that searched for requests.
Usually, when receiving a request, it was common practice to set a specific difficulty level and then line up in order of reward amount.
Quests with relatively poor rewards often stayed at the bottom of the list for quite some time.
Completing these quests before the deadline was over was the path that led to the Hunter Guild’s reputation.
Of course, it had a significant impact on raising the Hunter level.
Of course, no matter how half-hearted the quests were, the rewards were better than the guild’s purchase of normal materials.
Either way, it didn’t feel like a loss.
“I want to accept requests 96586, 63230, and 119950.”
It hadn’t been accepted for quite some time, so I inquired at the window about three B-class requests that were about to end the posting period.
“The deadline for request #63230 is tomorrow midnight, is that okay?”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”
“All right. I will repair three B-class quests.”
After checking the three request numbers engraved on the C-class hunter’s license with magic engraving.
I immediately moved to the first dungeon.
Because I was planning to complete all three of these quests before tomorrow ends and become a B-class hunter.
