Chapter 219 – Kang Seong-Ki, the Strongest Player in Korea (40)

#

Eunbi Kim went back to her room and I took a shower and left the hotel room to go to breakfast.
Then, I was surprised to run into the person standing in front of the door.

“Uh? Mr. Yeonhwa?”

I don’t know how long I’ve been standing in front of the door.
One peculiar fact is that her face is very haggard.
It seemed like he probably stayed up all night.

The change of her night and day itself would not have been anything special to her, but it seemed that there was something different about it.

“It’s okay?”
“Yes… Can I come in?”

Originally, I was going to have breakfast, but I couldn’t help it because Kim Yeon-hwa demanded it.

“Yes, come in.”

She came back into her room with her.

Kim Yeon-hwa started to put something out on a table that was too big for one in her private hotel room.
What was put on the table one by one was none other than hunter equipment and weapons.
All the familiar equipment and weapons belonged to the party members who came to clear the S-class dungeon with me.

“Are you sure you fixed all of this?”
“Yeah. You have to go hunting today too.”
“Everyone has extra equipment, so I didn’t have to go through all that trouble…”

Having said that, I was taken aback when I saw Kim Yeon-hwa’s tired face.
It occurred to her that it was not fair to say that she did not need it when she went through the night with such painstaking maintenance.

“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. By the way…”

Kim Yeon-hwa continued as if it was not important to finish the maintenance of the equipment and weapons of the party members.

“Yeah?”
“If you come after today’s raid… Can you talk to me?”
“With me?”
“Yeah. I feel like I have something to tell you…”
“What is it?”
“I can’t say anything specifically, but… I, I… I’ve been thinking about it, but I guess… Umm…”

Kim Yeon-hwa muttered in a nonsensical voice, and eventually she jumped up.

“I’m going to bed! Until you come back, I will organize my thoughts and tell you!”

I felt her behavior was a bit abrupt.
Is it because you have something to say?

At first, it was just a daze, but she had an idea.

Those were the words Kim Eunbi said last night.
If Kim Yeon-hwa is also exposed to my abilities and included in her members, she will be able to accept it.

“Well…”

I looked at the back of Kim Yeon-hwa, who was moving away.
She didn’t seem to have much of her dating experience.
If she had been thinking all night about how to convey the feelings that bloomed within her to me…

It was understandable that he had become so haggard.
She thought it would be a more difficult problem for her than maintaining the equipment and weapons of several S-class hunters.

I smiled softly.
I wanted to quickly finish the attack and come back and listen to Kim Yeon-hwa’s story.

Kim Yeon-hwa thought so as she put her equipment and weapons in her inventory one by one.

“Whoa, what is this?”
“Is it the same equipment I used yesterday?”
“It’s brand new. No, more than new…”

The women reacted in complete amazement after trying out Kim Yeon-hwa’s equipment and weapons in the dungeon.
Of course, their equipment didn’t show any strange phenomena like I did yesterday.
It was a special phenomenon that appeared because of my ability, and anyway, the women were surprised by the equipment and weapons that were better than the new ones.

I suddenly felt curious and asked Seulbi Kim.

“Does it really get this good after maintenance?”

Of course, Kim Yeon-hwa’s maintenance skills would be superior to those of other equipment mechanics.
What I was curious about was how much performance improvement can be expected if the equipment and weapons are maintained.
It was the first time I had received equipment maintenance and the target was Kim Yeon-hwa, so it was a natural question.

“It’s the first time I’ve gotten this good. In fact, I don’t like having my equipment and weapons serviced while in use. There are many times when the feeling of use has subtly changed, so it is rather impossible to do maintenance. I tend to think that it is better to use spares if equipment and weapons get damaged, and to do maintenance after completing the raid.”

Kim Eun-bi still couldn’t hide her surprise and said her words.

“This is not much better. If Yeon-hwa Kim had designed and built this equipment and weapon from scratch, the performance would have been much better. To be able to do all this in just one night is really… Unbelievable.”

I found another reason why the people who originally resided in the hotel and maintained the equipment and weapons of S-rank hunters disappeared now.
Kim Seul-bi explained that if you touch it clumsily, it will be worse than not doing maintenance.
For hunters, handling equipment and weapons is a very sensitive thing.
It was only natural that he could lose his life or be injured if he didn’t listen at the moment when he needed it.

“By the way, Mr. Seonggi…”

Seulbi Kim, who was having a conversation, suddenly changed his tone.

“Yeah?”
“I… Kim Yeon-hwa…”

She hesitated, as if she had something to say, but soon she said, “Nothing!” She did and she ran away.
When she, whose specialty is her speed, runs away, she literally disappears from sight.

What were you trying to say?

I knew I didn’t have to think long about it.
It must be the same thing Kim Eun-bi was trying to say in bed yesterday.

It was only natural that the feelings of the existing women would become complicated whenever a new woman was added.
At times like these, it was best for me to pretend I didn’t know as much as possible.

The results of hunting with her equipment and weapons maintained by Kim Yeon-hwa were also shown in the results.
The attack time was shortened by 2 hours compared to yesterday.

Despite the fact that the difficulty of attacking went up one more level, the time was much shortened.
This could not be explained simply by the fact that the hunting efficiency increased due to the increase in time for matching hands and feet, or that the effect of Kim Eun-bi’s growth as a result of last night’s affair could not be explained.
The direct cause was Kim Yeon-hwa’s equipment and weapons maintained by her.

And that wasn’t all.
After the hunt, the women spoke one word at a time.

“I feel much less tired than yesterday. The output of the equipment and weapons is good, so I feel like I can save a lot of mana.”
“I wanted to hunt more because I liked the taste, but it’s a pity.”
“I don’t know how many times I checked to see if it’s the same equipment as the real one.”

In fact, when she started raiding in the morning, she didn’t even mention equipment and weapons.
As time went on, more and more Kim Yeon-hwa praised the effect of the maintenance.

When she thought about it as she returned home after completing the raid, she could see that women did not have very good feelings about Kim Yeon-hwa in the morning.
As Eunbi Kim said, it seems that they talked among themselves in a group chat room.

But aside from that, I had no choice but to praise her as much as Kim Yeon-hwa’s skills.
I thought it was fortunate that her evaluation of Kim Yeon-hwa naturally rose among women.
It’s kind of like I’m thinking this, but if she included Kim Yeon-hwa in her members, it would be nice for her to be like that naturally.

Anyway, even though I didn’t come to attack together, I had no choice but to keep thinking about Kim Yeon-hwa.
What is she trying to say?
Even though it was a rough guess, she thought she shouldn’t pass it up.

Kim Yeon-hwa is a person with a very strong calling and inquisitive spirit as her researcher, and she must have a lot to say to me about those things.

Anyway, the more I got to know her, the clearer it was that she was a coveted woman.
Her ability strengthens the power of all party members.
I didn’t even have to consider how great the merit was.

As the girls say, today I feel much less tired than yesterday.
Even though he hadn’t slept for several hours after spending such a hot night with Kim Eun-bi.

I came back to the hotel room in a good mood, and I ran into Kim Yeon-hwa, who was standing in front of him.

“Uh? Mr. Yeonhwa?”

Her face was more pale than when I saw her in the morning.

“Mr. Seonggi…”
“Didn’t you sleep?”
“Yes… I can’t sleep at all… I think it will be hard to close my eyes until I talk to Seonggi.”

You close your eyes
How come the expression is a bit like that.
She could see that her current state of mind was very complicated, even more than the fact that she couldn’t sleep.

“Come on in.”

She was very dirty because she had just returned from a dungeon, but she brought Yeon-hwa Kim into the room anyway.

“Sit down for a minute. I’ll take a shower and come back. Order room service and eat together.”

I don’t know what Kim Yeon-hwa has to say to me, but she doesn’t seem to be short-lived.
I entered a message saying that I would not be able to go to the KF group chat room to eat.

“Yeah…”

When I said I was taking a shower, Kim Yeon-hwa’s face turned red.
I just went into the spacious bathroom and dismantled the equipment.

It was time to take a refreshing shower with warm water.

Suddenly there was a knocking sound.
The silhouette seen through the glass door was flesh-colored.

“Mr. Seonggi…”

There was no doubt that the voice heard was Kim Yeon-hwa’s.
