Chapter 211 – Kang Sung-Ki, the Strongest Player in Korea (32)

#

As expected, the KF family agreed to give Kim Yeon-hwa samples of the materials and new substances she wanted.
As expected, my party seemed to have little greed for money.
It was the solidarity of feeling that there was something more important than that, and that, needless to say, was due to my ability.

The third day of the raid went no different than the previous two days, or rather, it went more easily.
In fact, it felt like the number of monsters coming out from the 3rd floor had increased to the point where I could clearly feel it.
There, it was quite a century.
I feel like the dungeon space has definitely expanded.

However, as expected, the KF family was showing synergy as they went through the two-day S-class dungeon raid.
I feel like my hands and feet fit really well now.

It’s not expressed numerically like a game, but I thought that my organizational power had improved three times as much as I did on the third day of the raid.
In particular, Kim Seul-bi and Kim Sae-in’s performances stood out.
With two dealers slicing monsters all over the place, the attack was much more comfortable.

Coincidentally, these two were the women I had sex with in the preceding two days.
It was clear that sex had a positive alpha effect on the EXP gained from raiding.
The growth figures measured by putting your hand on the mana meter were simply numbers.
The influence they wield within the party has definitely grown.

Along with those two, there were two more that stood out.
One of them is Kang A-jin.

She had almost no experience in dungeon raiding, so the first day felt a little awkward, but when she started to show her abilities in earnest, she displayed truly terrifying destructive power.
Her skill was so bad that it only hurt her mouth to say it twice.
The shaman class had different characteristics from most other combat hunters.
Not only her awakened innate abilities, but that her self-powers can be greatly expanded by her efforts thereafter.

Kang A-jin put a lot of effort into developing her own abilities to the point of finding her mentor on the other side of the globe.
While most hunters do not develop much after awakening with their abilities, the growth rate and expansion power of her strong dog Jin was incomparable.
Besides, after meeting me, her abilities greatly improved.
The influence she exerted behind her was truly enormous.

I can’t count how many times she has saved her party members from danger with her defensive and offensive magic, which she appropriately used.
Later, her party members moved more aggressively because of her belief that she was supporting her from behind, even without seeing it with her own eyes.

I watched all the party members fighting the monsters from the rear.

It is my role to finally support the women, but watching them fight helped me a lot.
Just the fact that I was attacking the dungeon with them made my experience point go up even if I stayed still.

All the mana of the women I was attacking with was inside me.
They weren’t originally mine.
If I didn’t know how to use it 100% properly, I felt the mana inside me wriggle and fluctuate together as I watched the women manifest their mana and skills.
Would you say it feels like growing without end even if you stay still?
There was no need to measure using a separate mana meter.
Among the party members, it was me who had grown the most.

In addition to Kang Ah-jin, another outstanding performer was Kim Eun-bi.
In the larger space, she forged new paths through blocked walls and discovered new monsters.

New materials obtained from the third floor were more in number and quantity than those obtained from the first and second floors combined.
I felt good inside at the thought that Kim Yeon-hwa would be happy.

When she returned to the hotel after completing the raid, Kim Yeon-hwa had already arrived in Hongcheon.
However, she couldn’t get into the hotel and she was spending time in her car.

When I asked why, it was that the hotel we were staying in was strictly controlled for entry by outsiders as it was a space reserved for S-class hunters.

“Sorry.”

When I apologized, Kim Yeon-hwa said with her clean face.

“It’s okay. I’m used to sleeping in the car. I sleep when I put my head on it.”

Indeed, when I called in the morning, my voice, which seemed very tired, had changed to a clear tone.
I thought that sleeping with only her head on was an ability that she had no choice but to have because immersing herself in her studies had become a routine.
If you don’t sleep when you can, you’re the type to get lost in your studies and forget to sleep.

I remembered the words of the inventor of the century, “Sleep is dead time.”
Of course, over time, it turns out that rest is in some sense more important than work, but anyway.

I felt a bit sorry that the world’s leading companies made the desired talent sleep in the car.
Quickly announced her performance of the day to help her cheer up.

“We found more new materials on the third floor. There are more than I found on the first and second floors.”
“Really?”

As expected, Kim Yeon-hwa’s eyes widened to the size of Hamjibak.

“Yeah. I’ll show you after taking a shower and eating.”
“I…If you’ll excuse me…”

Kim Yeon-hwa said with a tired expression.

“Can you give me those before showering? I’m curious, so I’m going to go dizzy.”
“Ah…”

She was truly unmatched in her research swearing.

“Yes I will.”

When she replied with a smile, Kim Yeon-hwa said, “Wow!” While clinging to my arm.
Really, the prickly look I saw last time felt like a lie.
Perhaps her current appearance was closer to her true self.

She knew how arrogant and difficult they were, because she had been through a lot with her hunters.
So she told me many times that I was different from other hunters.
At her first meeting, she must have had that kind of wariness with me as well.
But over time, it felt broken.
She didn’t act arrogant like other hunters, she went into the dungeon and came out with her new materials, so of course I would feel like a precious person to her.

As I laughed at Kim Yeon-hwa clinging to my arms like a child, I felt her prickly gaze behind her back.

Knowing that it was the party members who were sending those gazes, I secretly removed Kim Yeon-hwa’s arm.

Kim Yeon-hwa also said as she looked at the party members, not me, that she realized something.

“They are all women.”
“Yes… That’s how it happened. Do you have any idea what happened?”
“I heard about it, but I don’t know the details. It feels like what happened between S-class hunters is so otherworldly that information doesn’t come to a woman like me.”

Kim Yeon-hwa smiled.
Still, she didn’t look curious about what had happened.
It was clear that her interests were new materials and S-class materials needed for research.

“I will tell you later. Come in. I’ll have to ask if there’s room to spread out the monster byproducts.”
“Oh, and.”
“Yeah?”
“I’ll take a look at the equipment while you shower and eat. I’m so sorry if you just take it for free. That kind of service has to be done.”
“Aren’t you going to eat together?”
“Eating while working has become a habit. It’s to the point where I feel like I’m committing a sin when I sit at the table and eat leisurely.”
“Haha…”

I decided to do as she asked.

To be honest, since the time was so short, I had doubts about what and how she could fix it.
But even a little care for her hands would be of great help.
It’s not because the equipment and weapons were contaminated with impurities while attacking the S-class dungeon for three days.

Kim Yeon-hwa came simply and alone, but she should have an inventory.
It was clear that by her nature, she would always carry equipment for simple research.

True to her word, she told the other party members to give her equipment and weapons as well.
The party members, like me, didn’t have much time, so I doubted how much I could do on my own.
However, since it was the bottom line, everyone presented their own equipment and weapons.

The only time I met Kim Yeon-hwa again was when I went to the spacious room I gave her for her at the hotel after finishing her meal.

#

The hotel had facilities for maintenance and research.
If necessary, crystal stones and by-products can be appraised and settled on the spot, so it was only natural.

In a large space, Kim Yeon-hwa was busy moving around with monster by-products, equipment for several people, and weapons spread out.
There were quite a few facilities already in this room, but when I returned, the number was higher than when I left.
Of course, those were supposed to be Kim Yeon-hwa’s personal equipment.

“Are you doing well?”

When she first spoke to me, Yeon-hwa Kim couldn’t hear my voice.

Her light tap on the shoulder made her look back in surprise.

“Ah! Mr. Sunggi!”
“Sorry. By surprise.”
“Oh, no.”

Kim Yeon-hwa had taken off her coat she had been wearing earlier and unbuttoned a few buttons on the shirt she was wearing underneath, as if she felt the heat.
She felt vaguely when she grabbed my arm and clung to her, but she felt her full breasts.
Would she say that her beauty was too precious to spend her youth confined to a laboratory?

Her excitement made her slightly flushed face look cute again.
