Chapter 132 – Modern Times

I decided to go to the training room and think about how to use the acquired karma.

When I came out to the living room, Han So-young, the vice clan master, was watching TV and eating fruit.

[… Compared to last year, the crack incidence rate increased by 12.7%. Accordingly, the association said that more hunters were needed and about the budget… Here’s the next news. Dimensional erosion occurred in Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. Government authorities […

While listening to the pretty announcer speak on her TV, she said to Han So-young.

“Has the crack burst again?”
“Huh. One exploded three hours ago. She said she lost one in the guild she was managing. I cut an apple, do you want to eat it?”
“Ah, thank you.”

She said as she chewed on the crunchy apple she was feeding her.

“Your guild hunters must be having a hard time.”
“It is, but… You would rather like it?”
“Why?”

There was a bit of envy in Han So-young’s voice.

“They say a mine was discovered there.”
“Ah.”

I got it. A mine that is very rarely found in Dimensional Erosion. The canned minerals there are cracking materials.

Even an ordinary iron mine could be said to be a jackpot as it could carry and enter cracks.

“It’s not good…”
“Huh? Wouldn’t it be great if it was a mine?”

Dimensional erosion is mostly dangerous and useless.

But sometimes, when it hits the jackpot like that, someone is sure to get greedy.

It was a history that was repeated in the academy district as well.

“I’m glad you’re satisfied there. I thought it would cause a crack break on purpose.”
“Oh no way. It’s not once or twice that the dimensional erosion has been dangerous.”

Han So-yeong, who lost interest in the news, turned the channel.

It was a current affairs program that was broadcast live.

The host and a middle-aged man were looking at each other.

The middle-aged man wore glasses and looked quite intelligent. At the bottom of the screen, there was a subtitle that said Professor of Crack Department.

The moderator asked.

“Then Professor. There is a hypothesis that it is possible to predict the environment in which dimension erosion will appear. What do you think about this?”

The bespectacled professor frowned at him and tilted his head. He opened his mouth as if he didn’t like something.

“…It’s not a word at all. There are actually examples. This is evidenced by the clustering of similar terrain in Africa where chain rift breaks occurred. But-“

The presenter, who was pleased with the words, asked again.

“Oh! Are you saying, professor, that if a crack break occurs in Gapyeong-gun, there is an extremely high probability that there will be another mine?”

The professor looked at the script and frowned. He sighed lightly and closed the script.

“Ha.. I mean, it could be. But the odds are too low in the first place-“

The host suddenly raised his voice as if he had won the lottery.

“Then! Isn’t Gapyeong the same as an oil field where oil gushes out?! There is an oil field in our country! I think we need to trigger a crack break right now.”
“Ah. That’s too risky. After careful review, safety measures-“

The professor opened his mouth, but his voice was not heard as if the microphone had been turned off.

Suddenly, the TV screen was filled with the host’s face.

“Ah! Time is already over. Viewers. In summary, dimensional erosion is not random. It is very likely that the Gapyeong-gun area is connected to the mine area. It can be summarized as It’s been common sense so far. Thanks for watching.”

The broadcast ended with someone reaching for the host’s microphone.

I sighed when I saw the ad playing.

After thinking about how things would go, I put it aside. She had something to say to Lee Yeon-hee, an alchemist.

“So-young, can you call Yeon-hee to the training room?”
“Ah… Yes.”

Han So-young, who was looking at her screen with her mouth slightly open, blankly nodded her head.

*

As soon as she arrived at the training room, she checked her work.

The first thing she felt after returning to modern times was heaviness. Before I knew it, this body was at the lowest physical level compared to other Earths.

First, I connected the magic core. He practiced fortune-telling qigong to create a body worthy of the pinnacle.

Thump.

A cool bone sound was heard. The feeling of becoming stronger was thrilling whenever I felt it.

“Whoa…”

While enjoying her lighter body, her eyes shone.

– Possess Karma: 9,729

Just looking at it made me smile. The karma obtained in the academy district was very good.

To the point where I’m a bit suspicious of the exceptionally large amount of karma. I looked through the message log to see where I got so many. I got a feeling about it.

‘Six thousand for the decision to grow pudding in the snowy mountains and killing the vampires?’

More than half were obtained from those two.

I wondered what they had in common. First of all, vampires were quite clear. He was the kind of guy who was fooling around trying to grow a rift.

So was the pudding.

‘I’m sure Helena was similar to the disaster of fire.’

I imagined when a guy named Sado stole the power that Pudding or Phoenix possessed.

They said that Seoul became a sea of ​​fire. If people died en masse, the rift would have widened.

‘Is blocking the rift advantageous for acquiring karma?’

Suddenly, I remembered what was on TV.

It wasn’t something he had to do with it, but the information he found out by interrogating the vampires bothered him.

‘Human deaths widen cracks…’

As people die and the rift grows, higher tier rifts occur. Then, when it reaches a level that humanity cannot handle, it can no longer handle the rift.

That is the large-scale rift that occurred in the Academy District. Beyond the critical point, dimension erosion is overwhelmingly increasing.

At that time, mankind had to fight monsters to survive.

Maybe the Hunter District could have had that too.

‘Let’s go shopping first.’

Gugung.

The training room was expanded and turned into an infinite universe. It was such a wonderful scenery that I always admired it.

Stars filled the endless night sky. Admiration flowed out just by looking at the shiny objects.

[The special offer has been reset.]
– The discount rate for the product ranges from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 95%.

I rubbed my palms in anticipation.

The weakness identification skill I bought last time was quite good. Especially when it comes to relationships with women, I liked the fact that I was able to know my erogenous zones as if I was answering questions.

[Special price list]
– TS Potion: 10,000 Karma
– Skill [Sympathy]: 10,000 Karma

My body trembled. Just looking at the names of both of them didn’t bother me.

The TS potion was a gender reversal potion. I wondered what would happen if I used it on someone I didn’t like, but I didn’t want to buy it for 10,000 karma.

[Immortal delay] : [Special price] 10,000 Karma
– All physical abilities increase in proportion to the time that semen is not ejaculated.
– Up to 2 times increase is applied.
– Can be used in all living organisms.

“Crazy..”

It was a skill that made profanity come out.

It was a skill version of Dongjagong that was said to be stronger than ordinary martial arts.

As soon as I saw it, I got goosebumps.

‘I will never buy it.’

Even if he became the best in the world, if he couldn’t enjoy himself with a woman, it would be hell. Besides, Hunyuan qigong was a color ball.

I looked around for other products worth buying.

[Honwon Il Qigong]: 7,000 (-3,000) Karma
– You have learned a sub-articulation that becomes a prototype. Some amounts are discounted.
– It is a martial art that has improved the weakness of Hunwon Qigong.

[Advanced physical enhancement]: 10,000 Karma
– Significantly strengthens all abilities of the body. Applies to all living organisms.

I was thinking about which of the two to buy. It’s a little short of 10,000 karma, but it’s about 300 karma, and I can collect it in a few days.

‘Hmm···. I’m worried.’

It was written that the power of Hunyuan Qigong was weak, but I had never felt a lack of power.

‘No, there is once.’

Thinking about it, I remembered the black blade the vampire wielded.

‘Was it a sword?’

I couldn’t tell exactly, but my sword energy had been cut off like tofu.

He closed his eyes and thought, then nodded his head. He made up his mind

‘Purchase Honyuan Il Qigong.’

Honwon Il Qigong (混元一氣功) was a martial art. It was different from a skill that could be used without knowing the principle.

In other words, it was to buy knowledge.

I opened my eyes while savoring the phrases seeping into my head.

‘It’s not bad…’

There were many minor differences as it was a high-ranking martial art of Honwon qigong.

First, the overall airflow efficiency increased.

‘Quiet.’

I ran quickly through the training room. I looked at the scenery passing by. Definitely faster than usual.

Phut! Phut!

I watched the air explode from the lightly sprayed fist and stroked my chin.

I wondered what the big difference would be. I couldn’t understand everything just because I knew the structure.

As if savoring it, he recalled the sentence. There was one particular phrase that stuck in my head.

-Sunil overcomes all change.

I looked at the scarecrow in the training room. A scarecrow made of a special alloy.

He had excellent magic repulsive power, so he was a guy who could resist sword skills.

‘Seom (剡), yes (銳).’

First, he raised his sword using Honwon Qigong. Island to be sharp. Imagining an infinitely sharper blade, he swung his sword.

That pole.

The half-cut scarecrow played again with the sound of grinding.

Next, he raised his sword according to the rules of Honwon Il Qigong.

‘Extreme island.’

It was a strange feeling. It felt like all the energy was aligned towards one purpose.

Looking at the tip of the sword where blue smoke rose over the haze, I swung it.

Squeak.

The sword passed over the scarecrow, but nothing changed.

He quietly approached and tapped it with his finger.

Thud!

Only then did the slippery half of it fall to the ground.

It was so sharp that his face was reflected in the cross section of the cut.

“Bout..!”

Lee Yeon-hee, who was waiting in the corner not to disturb, let out a cute sound.

Her round eyes were open like a rabbit, and I was covering my mouth.
