Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 22
“Suho, don’t you have a personal protective suit yet? Wear this.”
In front of Seoul Station, Assistant Professor Lim handed Suho a thick suit of clothes..
When I received it, it was a one-piece work uniform with connected top and bottom..
“Now, these gloves and work shoes are a set, so put them on..”
“thank you.”
“What am I thankful for? Since I called you suddenly, it's natural that you didn't prepare anything. Learn it this time. Protective clothing is a must-have for collectors..”
Following the explanation of the last miner, this season 2.
Assistant Professor Lim’s lecture on collectors continued..
“Being a scavenger is a much more dangerous job than being a miner..”
Miners were a job that was not very dangerous, except in special cases like the last Korea University field..
This is because all you have to do is pickaxe safely at the very back of the dungeon where all hunting has ended..
“But the collector is different.”
The location of the scavengers is exactly between the raid and mining teams..
In order to collect the corpses of the monsters hunted by the raid team, one had to follow closely behind the raid team..
Naturally, accidents occurred frequently where the raiding party was attacked by demonic beasts that it could not catch..
“Of course, there are only one or two at most, so if you are careful the first time they suddenly pop out, the raid team will immediately come running and save you..”
“It's a protective suit for that moment..”
“that's right. But actually, it is more useful when collecting the corpse of a demonic beast. If the beasts have sharp thorns or scales, ordinary clothes will get scratched and ruined while working..”
“Assistant…….”
“Hey, I'm not too impressed with that. Compared to what you did.”
“No, this smells like a widower..”
“……It's because I live alone.”
* * *
After a while.
Raid hunters arrived at the scene..
Suho calmly observed them..
Total of 10 members.
‘Four D-class magic hunters, five D-class combat hunters, and one C-class healer?.’
It seemed like that C-rank male healer was the leader of the raid team..
However, the attack leader walked towards Su-ho and glared at Assistant Professor Lim..
“what. Why are the number of collection teams so small??”
At those words, Assistant Professor Lim lowered his head with an embarrassed expression..
“I am sorry. For some reason, the collectors went diving as a group. Instead, today this friend…….”
“what? Is that the answer? What kind of irresponsible thing can you say about signing a contract? I know how much damage there will be if the schedule goes wrong.?”
“No, no. There will be no disruption to the schedule. This guy is actually a summoner, so there won't be any problems with his work.…….”
“what? Are you kidding me? Summoner?”
The longer Assistant Professor Lim spoke, the more grim the attack leader's expression became..
Then he glanced at Suho and looked him up and down..
Suho standing blankly.
Assistant Professor Lim quickly stepped in front of him and scolded him..
“Oh my, boss! You really don't have to worry. These friend summons will make up for the lack of personnel. I've specially invited a friend who is good at work..”
The attack leader sighed deeply at those words..
“Is that the answer? So in the end, they trusted this one person and didn't add more personnel, right now. Take the daily wage and leave.!”
As his voice grew louder, other raid hunters also flocked here..
“Captain, what is it??”
“What's this? Why are the collection team numbers like this??”
“This is why I'll do the job properly?”
The collectors, surrounded by their cold eyes, could not help but shrink more and more..
In fact, the raiders' anger was justified..
If the number of collectors is small, the work speed will be slow..
Then the raiding party hunting in front of it had to slow down as well..
The purpose of hunting itself is to make money from the corpses of demonic beasts, so there is no point in abandoning the collection team and hunting on your own..
Even here in the Seoul Station field, there are no magic minerals, so I had to make money purely from the corpses of magic beasts..
“Leader. That's enough, that's enough. Normally, don’t you just look at the irresponsibility of temporary workers for a day or two? Now I can't change my schedule for today, so I have to go in as I wish..”
“Okay, boss. Let's go in at a time like this..”
After being dissuaded by the members, the leader of the attack finally scolded Assistant Professor Lim..
“Anyway, just try to catch up today. I will file a formal complaint with the association. I will take responsibility for you and make sure you never have to do collection work again..”
“Yes, yes. I will do my best. Please believe me.”
As the 10 members of the attack group took turns saying one thing at a time, Assistant Professor Lim, who was standing in the center, lowered his head with a look of mental breakdown..
Since I committed a crime, no matter what I said, it could only be an excuse..
But he was also unfair.
‘I'm not even the collection team leader. Why should I?…….’
In fact, the real collection team leader was also one of the collectors who took the dive..
So, Assistant Professor Lim, who was nominally the deputy team leader, instead became a criminal and bowed his head..
Still, the attack leader's anger seemed to have calmed down a bit, perhaps thanks to his skill in bowing down to professors..
“Tsk. This is why low-level hunters.”
It was the moment when the attack leader clicked his tongue and turned around..
“wake up.”
Kihihihi-
“What, what?!”
Suddenly, the hunters looked around in shock at the sound of evil laughter floating in the air..
[keruk, keruk!]
Black demons suddenly rise from the floor!
The evil goblins, with black vapor wafting all over their bodies, were giggling and glaring at them..
But the size... … It was much bigger than an ordinary goblin..
“Oh, goblin leader? No, even the centurion!”
“Why are the defenders outside the field?……!”
Attackers hurriedly take out their weapons.
‘oh my god! I can't believe you're approaching me so secretly!’
“I don't think they are ordinary guys!”
“Everyone is ready for battle!”
“Captain! fall back!”
The basis of the raid is to protect the healer.!
They quickly prepared themselves and fought against the goblins.……!
[Cheruk?]
fight…….
[Crying?]
“……huh?”
But the goblins had no will to fight..
[keruk, keruk?]
“……Yes?”
Black goblins tilting their heads, asking why are they so angry?.
When the guys didn't come at them, the raiders stood hesitantly holding their weapons..
“Hmm.”
Assistant Professor Lim intervened between the two, clearing his throat..
“What is that, boss? These are the summons I mentioned earlier..”
“……ah.”
It was only then that the members of the attack team realized the situation..
Looking around, the collectors were standing there staring at them blankly, as if the conversation had already been discussed..
In the end, only the raiders were surprised and made a fuss..
“Well, uh, yeah. okay.”
“The numbers... … There are a lot.”
“One by one, there are seven of them..”
“yes. That's twice as many as the missing collectors..”
“Hehehehe.”
At the words of Assistant Professor Lim, the members of the attack team ended up looking embarrassed and avoiding eye contact..
At their reaction, Assistant Professor Lim slightly raised his thumb towards Suho..
Suho also smiled at him..
In the first place, these seven shadow goblins had been extracted in advance during the daily quest, so there was no need to go through the trouble of picking up their bodies again..
“Now then, let's go in..”
When Suho moves, the shadow goblins follow behind him..
Suho muttered as he passed by the raiders who were still standing there awkwardly..
“Don't fall behind for no reason.”
“…….”
* * *
So they entered the Seoul Station field in earnest..
The inside of Seoul Station, where erosion had already ended, was full of darkness due to the power outage, and the walls and floor were full of unidentifiable vines and moss..
“It's slippery so be careful where you step..”
The attack leader who was walking ahead glanced at his colleague..
“clear view.”
Grumbling.
Fireballs rose from the hands of the magic hunters and circled around them..
Thanks to this, as the surroundings became brighter, I could see a light blanket of blue fog..
At the same time, the identity of the demonic beasts hiding in the dark was revealed..
“Sigh!”
Spiny lizards crawling everywhere, climbing walls and ceilings!
“Everyone is ready for battle!”
At the command of the attack leader, the hunters ran out and started using skills..
And the raid leader, who was protected behind them as a healer, looked back at the collectors..
The embarrassment from earlier still remained on his face..
“Then the collection team... … Please follow carefully and begin work. Collecting spiny lizard carcasses can make some money..”
‘It's not the devil.’
Suho said he was disappointed and quenched his appetite..
It seemed like the cursed random box had no other purpose other than to give me a useful sword for someone who needed dual swords..
Still, it was worth coming here with Assistant Professor Lim..
‘This is my first time seeing other hunters fight..’
Suho carried the lizard carcass into a cart and watched the raiders' battle with his own eyes..
The way several hunters fight by linking different abilities and skills was definitely fun to watch..
‘Raid combat is like this. helpful.’
In order to effectively command seven shadow soldiers, it was necessary to learn group combat when the opportunity arose..
Until now, I had only extracted and used demons of the same type due to the situation, but later on, I wanted to fight strategically by using various demon beasts at the same time..
To do this, it was necessary to obtain corpses of various types of demon beasts in advance and store them in the shadow dungeon..
‘This is the collection team for that purpose..’
The reason why Suho quickly accepted Assistant Professor Lim’s proposal in the first place.
The collector was the perfect job to save the corpses of demonic beasts..
Moreover, from Suho’s perspective, the job of a collector was not difficult at all..
“Pick it up.”
[Cheruk!]
“Put it on a cart.”
[Crying!]
Shadow goblins move in unison at Suho's words and collect dead lizards..
All Suho had to do was just leisurely walk along behind him as if he were taking a walk..
Meanwhile, Ver was sneaking one or two dead lizards into the shadow dungeon..
There were too many lizards anyway, so even if I stole a few, it didn't make a difference..
Wagjak, wagjak.
Of course, there were lizards that disappeared from time to time as Ber's snacks..
Then a problem arose..
Suho did his job too well..
The job of a collector was basically to just pick up the corpse of a demon beast and place it in a cart..
However, if it was a large monster, it had to be cut into pieces with a saw or knife and distributed, which was actually the most difficult and time-consuming task..
Because it was never easy to split the tough skin and bones of a demonic beast with the power of E-class hunters..
But that was nothing to the shadow soldiers made up of goblin commanders and centurions..
[keruk, keruk!]
Due to their activities, the collection team's work speed eventually overtook the raid team's hunting speed..
Thanks to this, the collectors had nothing to do and just watched in silence as the hunt ended..
“Hmm.”
“Ugh.”
The attackers who were hunting had their faces widened as they saw Assistant Lim yawning profusely from behind..
If I hadn't told you not to fall behind in the beginning, I wouldn't have been in such an embarrassing situation..
It was then.
“for a moment. stop the fight.”
Suddenly, the leader of the attack stopped hunting and walked towards the collection team with a stern expression..
Suho was standing exactly at the end..
‘Well, what is it??’
‘Why are you going to start an argument again?.’
The collectors' expressions became serious due to the looming momentum..
plod.
The attack leader finally arrived in front of Suho..
“Hey, you.”
He looked intently at Suho’s face and opened his tightly closed mouth..
“Are you interested in signing a contract with our raid team??”
[Hehehe.]
At those words, Ver nodded with a very proud expression..
[As expected, our Solord's extraordinary talent shines anytime and anywhere. He's a guy with a pretty good sense of vision.…….]
“Be our exclusive collector.!”
[No, that bug?]
“You have the natural talent of a collector... … Salary is at the highest level in the collection industry.…….”
Assistant Professor Lim barely managed to stop Ver from seeing a twinkle in his eye and intending to kill that bastard..
