Chapter 107 – Equipment Shopping (2).

Next day.
I went out to meet Han So-ra.

One Sora was leaning on her own car, waiting for her with her sunglasses and mask covering her face.
It was a pure white sedan opposite Choi Da-eun.

As he approached Han So-ra, he let out a self-deprecating laugh.

“A man is supposed to pick up these things, but the picture is very ambiguous.”
“What does that matter? In times like these….”

Han So-ra opened the passenger-side door and pushed back while conveying deep consolation.

“A woman can escort you.”
Haha….”
“Originally, I called Sunwoo Hunter, who should have had a good rest today. Please let me do this Come on.”

As if she had been sucked into the car, she got into the passenger seat.
A Sora giggled as she watched me climb up without saying anything.

Thud-.

She closed the door herself before she walked over to the driver’s seat.
An escort from an S-class hunter….
You have succeeded, Park Seon-woo.

If I had been in an ‘avatar’ state, I would have ejaculated right away.
It was such an absurd situation.

Han So-ra got into the driver’s seat.
As soon as she sat down, she took off her sunglasses and mask and fastened her seat belt.

“The day has come when I can repay the favor to Sunwoo Hunter.”
“… Aye, the favor has already been repaid. It’s still too much.”

Even though she saved her one and only family, she is being treated too well.
I was satisfied enough just to have a relationship like this with Han So-ra—a person I could keep in touch with.

‘How many men like me are there in Korea?’

In the middle of the night, ‘Are you sleeping?’, Or ‘I miss you’ while drunk, I think everything is possible except for these flirtatious things.
I haven’t tried it though!

It’s not a dating lover, but it’s not just a friend, but an ambiguous relationship.
When Lee Hae-wan hears it, he goes crazy and leaps and bounds.
Perhaps, it may be the only male friend of Han So-ra in Korea.

A conch started her car.

“Even if Sunwoo Hunter says it’s enough, I can’t help it even if he thinks it’s burdensome. Compared to the fact that you saved Ara, it’s still….”

Car wheels roll smoothly.
I don’t know what type of car it is because I’m not particularly interested in cars, but since it’s an S-class hunter’s own car, I’m guessing it’s an expensive foreign car that’s said to be the best in the world.

“I want to do more. So if you need anything, let me know. I will help as much as I can.”
“… Thank you First of all, I’ll be grateful. Even if I refuse, I think Sora-san will forcefully hold it.”
“Right. Sunwoo Hunter has no choice.”

Refusing a gift was only possible with strength.
The D-class hunter couldn’t refuse to put the S-class hunter’s sleeves.

“I really hate being condescending as an S-class hunter, right? But if Sunwoo Hunter doesn’t want to accept my gift…. At that time, I had no choice but to use the power of an S-class hunter.”
“The power of an S-class hunter is so scary, isn’t it?”
“Right? So just take it.”

A car entered the road.
Han So-ra took me to the ‘Hunter Market’.
A market that sells equipment for hunters.

The special point of ‘Hunter Market’ is located inside the ‘Tower’.
Because they are inside the ‘Top’, they are naturally exempt from tax laws outside the ‘Top’.

Of course, there is one rule in accordance with national law in ‘Hunter Market’.
Only sell equipment and items made in the ‘Tower’.
That was the only rule of ‘Hunter Market’.

‘There are ways to live outside, but….’

All of the equipment leaking out of the ‘Tower’ was close to garbage.
To be precise, it is a level that can only be used by hunters of B rank or lower.
From A rank, most of them obtain equipment from the ‘Hunter Market’.

“Sunwoo Hunter, have you ever been to the ‘Hunter Market’?”
“… No, this is the first time.”

These days, the word ‘first’ feels too vulgar.
If you just say “First”, You might say that you become shy for nothing.

“I’ll take a look. ‘Hunter Market’ is a place that no one can enter.”

Hunters are adapting to society.
But that didn’t mean allowing control right away.

A-class and S-class hunters are already beings that transcend humans.
They could not be imprisoned within the framework of outdated laws and morality.

‘Hunter Market’ was a place where hunters enjoyed escaping.
Really minimal deviation.

A declaration that they will not be interfered with by anyone as much as the equipment they use.
Non-hunter politicians had to listen to them.

A tacit agreement was reached.
An agreement not to interfere with the affairs of the ‘Tower’ unless the Hunter side first causes an accident.
This was an agreement initiated by the United States.

There was no country in the world that could break this.
The Republic of Korea also released ‘Hunter Market’ users without controlling them.
It had to be.

We had to set up a welfare system for hunters to catch them.
Even if I fell behind in all other parts, it shouldn’t have been lacking in that part.

The state had an obligation to prevent the outflow of national talent.
Hunter’s strength leads to national power, and national power soon returns to stability.

In an unstable world, stability is the most important virtue.
It is a way for Korea to rise to the ranks of developed countries, a way to become an advanced country.

I parked my car in the parking lot and entered the portal.
‘Hunter Market’ was located on the 15th floor.
F-class or E-class hunters who haven’t passed the 10th floor don’t even know what the ‘Hunter Market’ looks like.

The 15th floor was built, but the background was an abandoned building.
It is an abandoned building with a total of 32 floors, and it starts on the roof.
If you go down to the 1st floor, you will get permission to go up to the 16th floor.

“I felt that when I attacked the 15th floor. There was a reason there were so many people here.”
“Yes, there is a ‘Hunter Market’ on the first basement floor, so it has quite a floating population compared to other floors. The 15th floor is practically no different from a non-existent floor.”

I followed Sora Han down to the first floor.
Inside the abandoned building, there was an unfinished elevator shaft and a ladder leading down to the basement.
Hunters were using the ‘Hunter Market’ through this place.

“The entire first basement floor is a market. It is no exaggeration to say that they sell almost everything, equipment made with rare materials or items that drop with a rare probability.”

Just jumped off
Even an F-class Hunter could easily go up and down the first floor.
It was, in effect, a ladder ornament.

In a dark hallway, someone is standing guard.

“Wait.”

A black man with impressive bulging muscles blocked Han So-ra.
I’m not short either, but there was a head difference between me and me.

“…….”

Han Sora took out her Hunter license from her arms.
License under international law, not Korean law.
Han So-ra’s grade was A, not S.

The black man, who had been frowning as he closely checked the license, relaxed his expression.
They welcomed us and opened the way.

‘… Even a hunter the size of Han So-ra is A-class compared to the world.’

International law only divided hunter grades from A to F.
S grade is out of standard.
Among the Hunters, only those who didn’t make sense were given an S rank.

‘Korea’s S-class is slightly angular, but the world’s S-class has no sense of it at all.’

It was that far.
Hunters whose existence itself is close to disaster.
A superman who made even the United States crawl, that was the S-class Hunter.

“There are so many people.”

The ‘Hunter Market’ was crowded with hunters.
Since it is a space where people from all over the world coexist, there was no choice but to have a lot of people.

“Let’s start with the equipment Sunwoo Hunter needs, shall we?”

Han So-ra looked me up and down.

The equipment I needed, first of all, was a shield.
The better the quality of the shield, the more efficient the ‘shield utilization’ will be.

The atmosphere of the ‘Hunter Market’ felt more like a black market than a general mart or department store.
I took a suitable place in the empty seat and packed the stalls….
Due to the location, it was impossible to do anything about the dark and humid air.

But I didn’t think it was dangerous.
All hunters here are humans whose identification has been completed.
Rather, it was right to see it as the safest place in the world.

I looked around.
Shields of various shapes were exhibited.
Since shields are the most ideal equipment for tanks, there were a lot of them overall.

“How about this?”

Han So-ra pointed at one of the shields.
It wasn’t suitable for a hunter who wanted to play the role of a tank in earnest, but it was a round shield that looked good for a sub-tank who wanted to balance both offense and defense.

“需要盾牌嗎?”

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
How can I help you, that’s how I roughly understood it.

“Moonlight Stone, 熔煉而成的盾牌, 只能在35層以上找到.很緊很漂亮.”
“Does Sora know what this person is saying?”

It seems to be Chinese, but I couldn’t understand it at all.
So I asked Han So-ra.

Han So-ra smiled and replied.

“They ask if I need a shield. It’s a shield made with moon stones, which can only be found on the 35th floor or higher. Check the information.”
“Well….”

I put my hand on the shield and opened the information.

[Shield with moonstone scent added]
─ A shield made by mixing moonstone powder.
─ Moonstone content 0.02%

“Is it made in China?”
“Okay? Then let’s go look around more.”

I put down my shield and turned my back.
There were many equipment, items, and things to see.
