Chapter 100: 100

“Didn’t I say it directly? ‘a good place where I can improve myself in a short time’? When are you going to tell me something that other outlanders do not know?”

“No, I’m not done yet. There is a protruding area in the middle of the Goblin’s Gorge surrounded by cliffs. It’s a place one doesn’t go to unless they are going to gather herbs. Ha Leeha-ssi if it’s with your skill…… you should be able to catch goblins there. Without any risk.”

A camping location? Leeha’s eyebrows knit.

‘Could it be a place where I could safely kill monsters without them being able to hit me?’

Of course, it might be possible for a musket’s range, but based on Madame Ju’s explanation, it seemed that it could be a place where monsters won’t be able to go at all. Leeha asked for the details.

“Are the goblins unable to get there?”

“Y-yes. Because it isn’t possible.”

“Isn’t possible? Then how could I get there?”

“I will show you the way to get there. Because……. It’s our job.”

It was the job of the Intelligence Guild. In other words, Madame Ju gave Leeha a ‘taste’ of what the Intelligence Guild does.

Laughter almost came out of Leeha.

‘Hahaha…… Bingo!’

Leeha did not immediately let his guard down.

He did not even show his joy. One could not easily get distracted in front of someone who does weird things and tests people out of nowhere.

Leeha focused on his five senses.

Will there be something else waiting outside the house? Who would want to get beaten every time? When Leeha felt that there was no longer a threat, Madame Ju spoke again.

“Was that enough?”

He concentrated his eyes, ears, and even nose, but he did not feel any trace of threat.

Leeha withdrew his musket.

“Haha! Madame Ju kept on surprising me, so I had no choice but to do it like this. Are you surprised? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“H-huh?”

“Aah, really……. I’m sorry. Haha. I am indebted to Madam Lou, how could I hurt her sister? Agh! I was really surprised! Haha. You thought it was real, right? My acting was pretty good, wasn’t it?” 

Leeha smiled slyly and picked up the coffee

“Phew, hey. You are, after all, the younger sister of the Madame of Holy Grill. This coffee is still delicious even though it’s cold? Haha

“W-what a sudden……

“Hey, what are you talking about? I also brought the lunchbox. We were rude to each other before, so let’s start in the beginning. You said that you tested me to see if we could join hands, right? Now that the test is over, what should we do?”

Leeha put down his coffee and grabbed Madame Ju’s hand.

“We have to join hands! Don’t we? What’s my score?”

It might have been a reaction that the NPC wasn’t prepared for.

Leeha completely overwhelmed Madame Ju.

Madame Ju had a bewildered for a moment, but when Leeha asked for the score, she immediately returned to a cool bewitching figure.

“Hahahaha. I see. I only received a message from my sister and made a hasty decision. He is fun and capable…… but he seems a bit weak.”

“Huh? Madame Lou said that about me?”

Leeha felt it ridiculous.

It was unfair for an NPC to evaluate one’s personality, but even the evaluation was shallow. 

Was it somewhat lax?

“I have a line to that.

He is a person that has an unexpectedly cool head that goes beyond… surprising. It wasn’t in my criteria for scoring. I completely lost, Ha Leeha-ssi.”

Madame Ju smiled brightly.

“I lost.”

Madame Ju said, with a refreshing smile It was not an expression of sadness or annoyance.

“I will give you 200 points.”

“Heuk. As expected, you have insight. Thank you, Madame Ju. I wish you all the best in the future.”

“As expected, you really are an interesting person, Ha Leeha-ssi. Good luck.” Leeha held hands with Madame Ju. In more ways than one.

[Quest Completed: Opening of Holy Grill Capital Branch.] 

[You leveled up.]

What should he do next? Of course. He needed to check the value of the information.

“Oh, didn’t she say that it’s a place where ‘Herbalists’ go? Goblin’s Gorge.”

As always, Koreans need money.

“Phew……. Should I stop now.” 

Leeha got up from the shooting position and shook off the dust. The heated barrel of the Needle Gun, lightly hanging from his back, warmed Leeha’s back.

“Uh, it’s so bright. He had been doing this for two days……

If Leeha’s memory was correct, he had watched the sunrise twice. He didn’t move around and just stayed in place.

He did not groan or make a noise when he moved his waist, but he felt that his body was a bit stiff.

After obtaining information from Madame Ju, he made the protrusion on the cliff at the Goblin’s Goblin as a camping site.

After listening to Madame Ju’s description, it was still difficult to find the way even with a map, must have wandered for hours.

‘Still, it was worth it.’

Because of the kind of spot it was. It was information that Madame Ju gave with her life as collateral. Leeha opened his bag and checked the quantity of gunpowder and ammunition he had.

‘Around 500 sets left.’

He bought 2000 sets, it was bought at whopping 1 gold.

The amount was so large that he was worried that his bag would burst because it was so full.

‘Well, I should use that much.’ Leeha smiled.

‘I caught so many that I got tired of it.’

The goblins did not know where or how they died, and who the next victim was. It was natural that they were not able to climb the cliff, and that most of them could not even detect Leeha.

In goblin society, it spread as ‘Fear of the unknown or ‘the legend that rips goblin’s nose’. Of course, Leeha did not know about that fact.

‘It was disappointing that there was no achievement after killing 1500 goblins. Haha. If I kill more, they might go extinct.’

He literally shot the musket ‘without resting’. The non-stop shooting meant that the repetitive actions related to agility have been related for a long time. Thanks to that, his agility also increased by 2.

‘4 hours for the first +1, and 16 hours for the second +1……. Now, to get 1 more, I would need to shoot for 64 hours straight.’

That would be unreasonable. Unless one is camping in one place, it was almost impossible to raise one’s stats with ‘repeated actions’ in the first place.

‘And even if one could find a camping spot, hunting would only be possible if one had the funds to support it.’

And if it was a place that was not normally reached by monsters, it will also be a place where the user won’t be able to reach the monster.

In other words, there was a fatal disadvantage that could not be removed even if one succeeded in hunting.

And the disadvantage of long-distance camping is that one could not get back the money they spent.

‘Hahaha……. Of course, there’s always an exception.’

Leeha’s bag was full despite his use of a large amount of gunpowder.

The scent that came out after opening the bag was not of gunpowder, but of medicinal herbs that filled the bag.

It would be good to sell it to the general store or drugstore, and if he could find alchemist users that made potions, he could even sell it at the price of gunpowder.

‘Intelligence Guild……. It’s like this, right? Haha.’

In a sense, it can be considered as an additional reward for the lunchbox quest. And Leeha did not intend to end his ‘additional reward’ in one go.

“Now, it’s time to go.”

Leeha smiled and started going down the gorge.

The return scroll was worth 50 silver.

‘I can live well if I save that kind of money! ’

“Director, are you there! It’s me Ha Leeha”

“Welcome, Ha Leeha-kun.”

“Oh.”

Leeha’s eyes were dazzled and raised his arms for a moment.

All the blinds in the director’s room, which was always dark, had been lifted.

“I’m glad you came quickly.”

“Did something happen?”

“No, nothing happened. I was worried that you wouldn’t come because you saw me flustered.”

“Haha. Director can even joke around.”

Browless smiled at Leeha’s remark.

3 days ago, it looked like he had lost everything in the world.

Leeha looked at Browless, which had a different mood, for a while.

However, in terms of ‘what had changed’, it wasn’t only Browless. The director of the Musket Academy looked at Leeha carefully.

“It seems your atmosphere had changed.”

“Is that so?”

“What did you do in 3 days?”

“Well…… haha, I played with some goblins.” Leeha smiled.

“Ho. Goblins.”

Browless also notice Leeha’s growth. It would be easy for an NPC that is a Director of the Academy to estimate a user’s level.

However, it won’t be easy for an NPC to grow in such a period of time.

‘Well, isn’t that surprising? Character window.’

When he completed the Royal Archives quest, Leeha was only level 36.

As a result of 48 hours of camping in the Goblin Canyon where users around level 50 to level 60 

hunt, his level increased by 12.

He leveled up at a speed that couldn’t even be dreamed of with normal party play, so it really was surprising. All stats, of course, was invested into agility.

“Then, we can proceed faster.”

“What do you mean fast?”

“What do you think we need to do faster. Isn’t it obvious?”

[The agony of the last of the Three Musketeers has been completed.]

A notification window momentarily appeared in front of Leeha.

“I have to raise you. As a member of the next generation of the Three Musketeers.”

[Accuracy Improvement Training-1: What you can’t see from afar.]
