Chapter 105 – S-Class Hunter Kang Seong-Gi (16)

“Oh, and this is an informal statement…”

The warden lowered his body and spoke in a whisper.

“As a celebration of awakening, the state is giving away 1 billion won.”

Saying it’s unofficial, I found out about this by looking at the tablet.
In other words, this level of treatment was already specified in the manual for S-class hunters.

There was nothing I couldn’t understand.
Literally, each S-class Hunter is an existence that is connected to national power.
Scout competition between countries is also very fierce.
It was also natural for a country to make such an effort behind the scenes in order not to lose its own hunters to foreign countries.
If the people knew about it, they would hear bad things about wasting taxes and creating a sense of deprivation.

After all, S-class hunters were also beings beyond creating a sense of deprivation.
Even if you imagine yourself to be a hunter, you think of B- and A-class hunters, but you don’t want to be S-class.
At least I did

“It’s good.”

There was no reason not to take it.
It’s not like I have any intention of going abroad in search of better conditions.

“I am very happy to hear you say that.”

When the story progressed to that point, an employee appeared with coffee.

It was a very good color coffee with a lot of ice in it.
Even if the coffee I drank at Seulbi Kim’s house and Ajin Kang’s house wasn’t good enough, it exceeded the level expected in public institutions.

I took a sip through the straw stuck in it.

“Um~”

The warden asked me with a nervous expression.

“How are you?”

You’re not even the cafe owner, so don’t fret over things like this!

“It is delicious.”

I woke up early and had a rough breakfast, so a sip of coffee refreshed my mood.

“Ah! Fortunately, the!”

The director continued his explanation, delighted that I was satisfied with the taste of the coffee.

“And the country is lending equipment to S-rank hunters free of charge for one year.”
“Is it a free rental?”
“Ah, so… Of course, it would be reasonable to just pay for it, but the price is so high. This is because the share of technicians is too big.”

The warden misunderstood my reaction and said so.
The poor technicians were reviled.
Of course, the first-class artisans themselves took a large portion, but there was no fundamental reason for the high cost of equipment for S-class hunters.
It’s because the price of the material itself is outrageous.

I was surprised to find that S-grade equipment was provided free of charge.
Because when I vaguely said that I would become an S-class hunter and enter a dungeon, the part I cared about the most was the equipment.

Hunters are generally advised to use equipment and weapons appropriate to their level.
It was said that the use of C-class equipment by a B-class hunter did not show higher efficiency, but rather had a negative effect.
The chances of your equipment breaking are much higher.
These were the things I researched because I thought I should get equipment after receiving the grade measurement.

S-class hunter equipment.
Of course, the basic price is billions of dollars for each type.
Some of the things that I want to be a little decent are done in tens of billions, and even in the case of a limited edition of a first-class craftsman, I have called 100 billion units.

Since S-class hunters are basically beings with no upper limit on their abilities, even though they are of the same grade, their ability levels are very different.

So, personalized equipment was also popular among them.
Personalized equipment was much more expensive than off-the-shelf equipment, as can be seen from its nuance.

I don’t think the equipment that is rented free of charge by the government is limited edition or customized, but it was great that it was loaned out for free anyway.

How much money can you save right now?
The fact that the rental period was limited to one year was probably calculated to enter an S-class dungeon at least once during that period.
It will also be a kind of anti-force method.
I have to go in once in a year to be able to maintain the equipment.

It is said that the hunter’s income from S-class dungeons is enormous.

I also knew the senses because I had earned income from crystal stones in low-level dungeons.
It’s hard to guess exactly what that amount would be.

“I like that too.”
“Ah! Is that so! What a relief!”

When I received a series of positive responses, the warden was very pleased.
As if this is the most important thing in what you do.
Well, it’s not wrong.

Even after that, the warden continued to recite the benefits that S-class hunters could receive.
At some point, I felt the words go in one ear and out the other.

‘There are many.’

The first thing I heard was the biggest things, and the rest were the little things.
For example, if public transportation is free or if you are going abroad for work-the warden whispered that most trips here are recognized just by talking about it.- Plane fare is also free.
In addition, the level of free or discounted construction companies, restaurants, etc., Which were affiliated, was great.

In a word, S-class hunters make a lot of money, but they also don’t have much to spend money on.
Everyone can’t take care of it.

“I can’t remember everything. Please text me later.”
“Yes, I understand!”

As I said at the beginning, I finished my coffee and got up.
It was clear that the warden still wanted to hold me, but if I tried, he would not listen.

Instead, he sincerely accepted the card he gave him and put it in his inventory.

“Thank you.”
“Yep! If you visit us again next time, we will serve you with more sincerity than today!”

I left the Hunter Management Office while receiving group folder greetings from the director and other employees.
At the same time, I thought that if I kept receiving this kind of treatment, I would get used to it.
I guess it depends on what you adapt to.

The next thing I thought I would stop at was the equipment store.

When I asked the director of the Hunter Management Office how I could borrow the equipment, he immediately said over the phone that an S-class hunter who had awakened today would visit me.

I remembered the treatment I received at the department store just for being with Seulbi Kim.
I didn’t expect to be provided with a meal or warm hospitality, but I just wanted to shop for equipment quietly by myself.

“Well…”

As I stood to catch a taxi, I suddenly thought that I should have a car too.

‘Did I say 1 billion?’

I thought of what to do with the money called the Awakening Celebration Money.
When buying a house, it was said that you could get a loan, so you should be able to find a house within that amount.
And with the awakening celebration money, I should buy a car.

As soon as I renewed my license, it felt like everything was solved in an instant.
I thought it was good timing as a result of Valentina expressing her opinion that it was time to go outside.

‘This is how life changes.’

I thought it was a good thing that I decided to act alone, away from women.
Perhaps it would have been difficult to realize in detail how my position would have changed if I had been with them.

‘It’s fun, it’s fun.’

My feeling on the way to the equipment store was very pleasant.

#

My wish to do private shopping came true right away.

I remembered that the warden had called this place beforehand.

Even before I got into the taxi and arrived, a middle-aged woman who seemed to be the boss and staff were in front of the store.

However, it seems that he didn’t know that the S-class hunter would arrive by taxi, so he wasn’t aware of me until I got closer.
Rather, one of the employees told me.

“I’m sorry, customer, but today our store closed early due to our own circumstances. I’m sorry, but please come later tomorrow or I will guide you to another shop.”

It must have been a very bold move.
With the experience of working at the Dungeon Management Office, the Hunters get angry when they hear these words.
If it’s not a pleasant thing for ordinary people, can Hunters with strong narcissism stay still?
But when I heard the circumstances, that feeling would disappear.

“An S-class Hunter has made a reservation.”

The staff spoke quickly before I could react.
That way, with a face that says you won’t be cursed at.

“I think that S-class hunter is referring to me.”
“Yeah?”

The employee who offered to come after tomorrow or guide me to another shop just froze.
The boss came here to see what was going on.

“I’m sorry, but today…”
“Oh no! Boss!”

The frozen employee was startled and said to the boss.

“This is Hunter. He is the newly awakened S-class …”
“What?”

The boss’s eyes also widened.
Since she saw me getting out of the taxi, she couldn’t have guessed that I was the S-rank hunter they were waiting for.

Can not help it.
I renewed my license today, so neither my face nor my name was known.

If anything, the director of the kwanliso did not send my picture to this store.
And that I hadn’t thought of asking for it on this side either.

The startled boss calmed down his expression and quickly bowed her back.

“Thank you for visiting! Hunter!”

Seeing the president say hello, the rest of the employees outside bowed in the same way.

“Thank you for visiting! Hunter!!”
