Chapter 6

BANG!

The massive beast-like body fell forward. Dark red blood flowed from the bullet hole embedded in the wolf-shaped face. Not a single movement. It was definitely over.

I wiped my face with the back of my hand wondering if blood had splattered, but it was clean. Less of a mess than I expected.

“HAAH….”

I exhaled without realizing it. It seemed to be resolved simply, but considering the distance, it was more precarious than I thought. If it hadn’t flinched at the warning shot to the head and kept running… if I had missed just once…

‘I would have been the one taken down.’

Even with that judgment, I didn’t feel any goosebumps or fear about almost dying. What I’m feeling now is, how should I put it? Was my aim that terrible?

I examined the corpse again. The bulletproof vest wrapping the thick body caught my eye. It looks high quality. I’ll strip it off and keep it. Just in case, I also searched the pockets.

‘Wait a minute, this is quite heavy? What is this?’

Trying to pull out something that wouldn’t fit in one hand, I hurriedly shook my hand.

“Ah! Shit! This is fucking ridiculous!”

To be precise, it wasn’t just similar, it was an actual genital. Furrowing my brow, I searched the pockets again but only experienced the unpleasant sensation once more with no gain.

Just then, the werewolf’s thick grip loosened and the objects it was holding rolled out. Three glass vials. One contained a deep golden liquid, while the other two contained a light red liquid.

‘What are these?’

The moment I looked at them with curiosity, the status window automatically responded.

[Low-grade Bio Regenerator] Quickly heals minor wounds when consumed. May cause extreme pain when used.

[High-grade Bio Regenerator] Quickly heals major wounds when consumed. May cause pain when used.

Oh, healing potions? I guess it was prepared expecting a long battle. More importantly, does information appear just by looking at something and being curious about it?

I wondered if it works for other things too, so I looked at random objects on the street with curiosity, but nothing appeared. It seems to only work for items purchased from the shop.

‘Wait, then this…?’

Just in case, I checked the bulletproof vest I’d picked up. As expected, information appeared.

[Tactical Bulletproof Vest] Provides some protection against small firearms and close-range attacks. Durability decreases with consecutive impacts.

‘So it was bought from the shop after all.’

From the beginning, there wouldn’t be any way to get a bulletproof vest that fits that build so easily and quickly except from a ‘shop’. Of course, there might have been ways to obtain one, but no one would prepare for such a transformation.

Well, seeing how it had potions and a bulletproof vest, it seems like quite thorough preparation… but the result was careless.

I wonder how much these farming items cost. I immediately opened the shop and searched.

[Low-grade Bio Regenerator (300G)]

[High-grade Bio Regenerator (1,500G)]

[Tactical Bulletproof Vest (3,800G)]

Like with the gun, I didn’t need to search for the exact name; searching for “potion” displayed the relevant items. It seems to list related concepts as well. Just like an algorithm.

‘Still, it’s quite expensive.’

For someone with 100 million gold, it might be pocket change, but considering the gold dropped from killing a ‘ghoul,’ it’s definitely expensive. Anyway, it’s quite a nice spoil for me too.

‘But what about this level-up stuff they were talking about? Don’t I level up? Killing a werewolf should be a tough accomplishment, right?’

I’ll find out later. For now, I’m thinking of trying a low-grade bio regenerator as a test. The wound from the ghoul earlier was still bothering me.

I lightly shook the small glass vial. This amount is probably about one shot of soju. Then I opened the cork stopper and downed it in one go.

“URGH…!”

Instantly, tremendous pain surged from my wounded arm. A feeling beyond hot, like burning. A sensation like pouring alcohol on a deep wound spread.

‘Fuck…!’

It was truly horrible. Pain that made my body stiffen involuntarily. But moments later, the bleeding area healed cleanly. Amazingly, without a trace. Even the physical fatigue disappeared.

‘The effect is definite. But damn, it hurts like hell.’

If it hurts this much, how painful would it be for a serious injury? Suddenly that thought crossed my mind. At this rate, wouldn’t drinking the high-grade bio regenerator make you pass out?

But no matter how terrible the pain was, I didn’t feel any fear of never wanting to do it again. Probably… because of the ‘Constellation’s Spirit’.

I put on the bulletproof vest to start moving. It’s big, but better than nothing… as I was thinking this, the size adjusted perfectly and fitted tightly to my body.

‘Ooh! Is it because it’s a shop item? Does it have an automatic user customization feature?’

Compared to the points used to kill the werewolf, I gained a lot. The potions alone were worth it, but having the most expensive farming item adjust perfectly to my body is a real jackpot.

[Title: LOLLLL First Hunter farming and gets wreckedLOL] And yet he still farms relentlessly in the middle of it all LOLLLLL.

ㄴfor real LOL.

ㄴNormally people would be too scared to even think about dying lol.

ㄴHow can he be so calm in front of a corpse? 

ㄴBecause of Constellation’s Spirit, you idiot.

ㄴWow Constellation’s Spirit isn’t cheating huh you bastards I’m signing the contract.

ㄴYeah he turned off notifications LOLLLLLL.

ㄴFuck open the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[Title: Hey look at him putting it on right away LOL] Look at him just wearing it even though it was on a corpse LOLLL He’s really clever, isn’t he? LOLL.

ㄴHe’ll survive without a contract at this rate LOL.

ㄴNo seriously he’s making me really want to sign a contract??? 

ㄴWhat’s clever about that you idiots?

ㄴConsidering the time period background, it’s GOAT. 

ㄴEra adjustment LOL He really is damn clever LOLL.

[Title: You fucking bastard please turn your alerts back on] Or at least go in and check the contract! Fuck let me sign a contract! Please accept the contract! I’ll give you money! I will!

ㄴSend a donation LOL. 

ㄴYou crazy bastard I asked to accept through revelation, if you don’t accept who’s responsible for my divine status. 

ㄴI don’t care lol.

ㄴSend small donations to gain favor

ㄴFirst Hunter would turn off donations too because they’re noisy.

ㄴfor real lol. 

ㄴfor real lol.

[Title: The avatar with 100 million gold is really fucked] Quitting the game bye.

ㄴUseless god bastard LOLLLLL.

ㄴLet’s hear what you were thinking before you quit .

ㄴWhat were you thinking when you pulled this shit? 

ㄴYou fucking trash, do you think First Hunter is a joke? Huh?

ㄴJust dieLOLLLLL .

ㄴThis is so funny LOL You got a revelation and died so pathetically?LOL Why didn’t you put on a helmet?LOL 

ㄴMr Constellation lost money LOLL.

[Title: Speculation on why that bastard wasted a revelation] Was he aiming to absorb the gold and skills? Right?LOLLLLLL Contract requests are flooding in so the probability of contracting with him is low, and he’s low level so easy to kill LOL He wanted to kill him quickly and eat the Constellation’s Spirit LOL.

ㄴBut only one skill is absorbed randomly .

ㄴWhat is this idiot saying… ? First Hunter only has Constellation’s Spirit as his skill .

ㄴAh I see.

ㄴResult: divine status gone into thin air congrats. 

ㄴIf that was his plan he’s super stupid because absorption probability is extremely low LOL Like less than 1%?LOL.

ㄴFirst Hunter missed out tooLOL Could have absorbed 100 million gold if he killed him without a gunLOLLLL .

ㄴfor realLOL If he just killed him and absorbed the gold and one skill, it would have been an OP character from the start.

I flinched when I saw the comments.

‘…What? If I hadn’t killed him with a gun, I could have absorbed his money and skills? This is a bit of a waste.’

But I quickly came to my senses. If not for the gun, I wouldn’t have had a way to kill him in the first place. I try to convince myself this was the best option.

Yes, it couldn’t be helped. While I was thinking that, the guy presumed to be the werewolf’s constellation posted again.

[Title: Don’t live like me (I got wrecked)] Before I quit, I’ll tell the story of why I sent the revelation I thought there were at least two people who sent revelations to gain favor with First Hunter So as you guys guessed, I was going to kill him and absorb…

If I absorb Constellation’s Spirit and gold, it’s a free win this round… Even if I didn’t get the revelation… If you think of it as buying Constellation’s Spirit with 100 million gold, it’s definitely a profitable deal… so I went all in but fuck it I’m quitting bye.

ㄴAre you really mentally ill?LOLLLL.

ㄴDidn’t consider you might not be able to absorb? You’re retarded.

ㄴ Even if you can’t absorb, killing is profitable, idiot.

ㄴHow is it profitable? The idiot is you who lost your divine status .

ㄴ The guy with Constellation’s Spirit disappears and my avatar grows faster the earlier I contract, so it’s profitable, idiot.

While I was reading the constellation’s lament with contempt yet satisfaction, a chilly wind brushed by. No, it wasn’t the wind.

“GRAAAAAAAH….”

Eerie groaning sounds came from all directions.

‘Right, I did say the gunshot was loud.’

It seems ghouls have gathered after hearing the sound. Sure enough, they were ghouls. Those monsters walked sluggishly toward me. I calmly raised my gun and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

A ghoul that was hit precisely in the head collapsed, but somehow this time the 10 gold reward didn’t appear.

‘What’s going on?’

Don’t tell me there’s no reward if monsters are killed with a gun too? I recalled the post I saw earlier in the gallery. Is this why they said killing with a gun wasn’t good?

‘Regardless of the gun, it’s a problem if rewards may or may not appear in the first place.’

With one bullet costing 10 gold, if killing a ghoul might not even give 10 gold, it’s definitely a loss. Unless there are monsters that give bigger rewards, though it was questionable whether the gun would work on them.

‘Even if it works, if I can’t get rewards as they say, this just burns through gold too quickly.’

I need to quickly check if it’s because of the gun. I gripped the frying pan firmly once again. 

 ‘From now on… it’s time for a ghoul massacre.’

[Is he crazy LOL Is First Hunter really crazy?LOL][52]

 [Is he trying to kill all of those by himself?LOL][21]

 [LOLLL He’s really an insane psycho lol][164]

[Title: First Hunter is crazyLOL He’s doing this even though he hasn’t run out of bulletsLOLLLLL] Is it because he saw the reward not appearing? If that’s it, he’s really crazyLOLLL

[Mom, I want to contract with First Hunter!][109]

[Accept the contract you bastard!!!!!!!!!][87]

[Turn on alerts!!!! Open the door!!!!! Accept my heart!!!!][342]
