Capitalist Monster Hunter - Chapter 13

 

 

 

“” Bug? Is this a game? What kind of bug?

 

Yusung was shocked after reading the donation message sent by the goddess of mischief

 

The goddess of mischief donated again to Yusung

 

[] The goddess of mischief donated 1,000 points

 

[] Goddess of Mischief: I’m kidding! The system functioned normally.

 

“” It worked fine? There isn’t anything.

 

With a clear view of everything, he couldn’t see anything. Yusung turned his head and looked at Titania, but Titania shook her head as if she didn’t know.

 

[] User Han Yusung

 

“” Why?

 

[] I think I found the summoned creature

 

“” You found the summoned creature?

 

[] Look at here

 

The screen Eve showed to Yusung was colorful, full of blue, red, and yellow.

 

[] This is a video footage of the hospital room with a thermal imaging camera built into the drone. Can you see the egg in the middle of the hospital room?

 

“” Oh, you’re right.

 

It was invisible to Yusung’s eyes, but there was a round egg floating in the center of the hospital room.

 

“” Is it a transparent egg?

 

Yusung walked to the place where the eggs on the screen were floating. When he swirled his hands from side to side a few times in the air, something hit his hand.

 

“” Here it is.

 

Yusung carefully grabbed the egg and hugged it in its arms.

 

‘’ It’s warm

 

The egg was invisible because it was transparent, but warm warmth was felt in the egg that was felt through Yusung’s hand.

 

A system window popped up in front of Yusung.

 

<> Transparent Eggs

 

-It’s a transparent egg. No one has ever seen this egg because it is a transparent egg. So no one knows what kind of creature this egg is.

 

He thought the description of the item would be transparent as well, but fortunately, the explanation was properly stated. Although it wasn’t a very helpful explanation.

 

“” Yusung, what kind of egg is it?

 

“” It’s a transparent egg. I read the description and it says that no one knows whose egg it is.

 

“” Transparent egg… I’ve never heard of it before. Is it right there?

 

Upon approaching Yusung with flapping wings, Titania reached for a transparent egg in Yusung’s arm

 

Touch!

 

“” It’s warm.

 

Titania also looked surprised when she felt the warmth of the transparent egg.

 

“” The eggs of the summoned creature must hatch through the hatching machines

 

“” Does that cost some points?

 

“” Of course. Hatching machines are available for 5,000 points.

 

“” You guys really adapted to capitalism. Ok, if I buy that hatcher, how many days will it take to hatch?

 

“” It depends on the egg. But I’ve never seen a transparent egg like yours, so I don’t know how many days it will take

 

“” Can’t you make a rough estimate?

 

“” Some eggs hatch in a day, but some take years, so it’s hard to estimate.

 

“” Is that so…

 

Since Titania didn’t know about it, it seemed to have no choice but to put eggs in the hatching machine and wait until it hatch.

 

“” I think you should just put the eggs in the hatching machine and put it in the inventory and do something else. The system will tell you when the eggs hatch.

 

“” Yes, I think that’s right. I can’t just hold on to the egg all day.

 

Yusung bought a hatching machine from the store and carefully put the transparent egg in the hatching machine and then put it back in the inventory.

 

“” Well, let’s end this here.

 

“” Aren’t you going to buy any items?

 

“” About that.

 

Yusung purchased 50 random boxes impulsively. It was worth 50,000 points. It was almost half of the points that Yusung had.

 

At the time, he didn’t know when he bought the random boxes impulsively. But he regretted using many points of 50,000 points at once.

 

“” We’ve got some equipment from donation, and we’ve got some low class potions. And I also got items called Samjae Sword Art and Samjae Inner Energy Control, wouldn’t this work?

 

“” Samjae Sword Art and Samjae Inner Energy Control? These are the one of the lowest training books in martial arts….

 

Samjae Sword Art and Samjae Inner Energy Control was commonly found in a wide range of street bookstores in MuHuan. It was so low class that even the thugs will just throw it out.

 

“” Why don’t we just go around a dungeon of grade F or E? We can save some points there and buy a better one.

 

“” Then you have to only go to grade F or E dungeons. Any dungeon with a higher grade than that should never be allowed. Okay?

 

“” Okay. I promise.

 

“” Oh, Yusung. I have one thing to tell you.

 

“” What is it?

 

“” Do you remember when I said you can return to your world in about a month?

 

“” Of course I do. How can I forget?

 

It’s a life-related subject, how could he forget it. Yusung was counting the day, waiting for the opening of the dimension gate.

 

“” I think the dimension gate will open soon!

 

“” Didn’t you say it would take about a month? It hasn’t even been a week yet.

 

“” There were so many gods and spirits watching your Hunter channel that interference was greatly reduced! The interference has not been reduced enough to control this world, but it has been reduced enough to open up a gateway to your dimension!

 

Titania said it while waving her short arms. That was good to hear.

 

“” When can I go back?

 

Yusunged asked Titania with an excited voice.

 

“” I think it will open in about three or four days!

 

He can finally go back home. The thought of him able to go back home made him smile.

 

***

 

The next day, Yusung was able to reach a parallel world Earth.

 

It was thanks to an ultra-light speed ‘Warp’ technology that distorts space and rapidly navigates through space.

 

However, thanks to this warp technology, Yusung had to go through some struggles.

 

It was because of motion sickness.

 

It may not be a problem for people in a parallel world who are adapted to warp, but Yusung who had never been on a spaceship suffered severe headaches and nausea.

 

He threw up a couple of times on his way to Earth due to motion sickness, but fortunately, he was able to reach Earth without any abnormalities.

 

Upon arriving on Earth, Yusung was immediately taken to a hospital, and while waiting for the passage gate to open, Yusung spent time reading donated martial arts and energy training books.

 

“” Why does this book say so many things?

 

Yusung scratched his head while reading the Samjae sword art book.

 

The  content of Samjae Sword Art book complicated the simplest move.

 

The book was quite a thick book, but what it said was so obvious that it could be summarized in a few lines.

 

[] Blocking, stabbing, cutting. These are the basic principles of swordsmanship. Avoid or stop enemy attacks. If you want to kill an enemy, you can kill an enemy by swinging the sword at the enemy.

 

That was all that was written in the Samjae Sword Art book.

 

Good thing was that there were a few illustrations throughout the book. If there was no illustration of postures, Yusung would have thrown out the book.

 

Samjae inner energy control book seemed to be better. It still had weird things inside, but showed how to collect inner energy while breathing.

 

Yusung tried to gather inner energy as written in the book, but there is little chi in his parallel world. He couldn’t collect any inner energy, it just felt empty.

 

All Yuseong could do was watch TV all day long because he couldn’t practice with a sword in the hospital room, and he couldn’t gather any inner energy.

 

But he didn’t just watch TV all day long.

 

Yoosung also talked to nurses or doctors who came to check his condition. He wanted to talk about various things comfortably, but they treated Yusung carefully just because he was nobles.

 

The treatment he received was too for Yusung, who had lived a totally different life than right now and eventually Yusung gave up trying to talk to them.

 

He didn’t want to see doctors and nurses get intimidated by him.

 

“” Should I go ahead and feed weapons to the Weapon Eater in advance.

 

Yusung, rolling around the bed, took out the Weapon-Eater from the inventory.

 

“” They said to feed him weapons, right?

 

Apparently, Weapon Eater eats weapons and becomes stronger. Yusung pulled the Practitioner Sword from the inventory.

 

Chew!

 

After seeing the sword, the Weapon Eater pushed it’s tongue out and began to smack its lips.

 

“” How am I supposed to feed this?

 

Grab!

 

While Yusung was trying to figure out how to feed the Weapon Eater, it snapped the sword that Yuseong was holding.

 

Quad! quad, quad!

 

A sharp tooth like a saw came out of the Weapon Eater’s mouth and began to chew on the sword.

 

Each time the Weapon Eater’s mouth moved, the length of the sword decreased slightly. Less than five minutes later, the Practitioner sword disappeared into the stomach of the Weapon Eater.

 

Snap! Snap!

 

Weapon-Eater, who devoured the Practitioner sword, stared at Yusung, snapping his teeth.

 

“” What? Do you want more?

 

Chew!

 

The Weapon Eater licked it’s lip again. The behavior of Weapon Eater seemed to be asking for more weapons.

 

“” Here you go. Have another one.

 

Yusung took out a rough longsword and held it out to Weapon-Eater. The Weapon Eater ate the longsword in an instant.

 

Snap! Snap!

 

“” I don’t have any more weapons. That’s it.

 

Snap! Snap!

 

The Weapon-Eater protested, smashing its teeth at Yusung’s words that there were no more weapons.

 

“” If you want to eat pieces of swords, here you go..

 

Dropped!

 

Yusung took out all the broken pieces of the old sword in his inventory and piled them in front of the Weapon Eater.

 

The Weapon Eater stuck out its tongue and tapped a piece of sword.

 

“” Look at this guy? Are you testing the water right now?

 

Weapon Eater seemed to be agonizing over whether to eat the sword pieces. After a long thought, the Weapon Eater lengthened it’s tongue and pushed all the sword pieces into its mouth.

 

Ugh! Ugh!

 

“” Buehueh.

 

“” It tastes bad?

 

The Weapon Eater, who had eaten a piece of sword, was shaking it’s tongue like a man who had eaten bad food. Well, they were old pieces of rusty swords, so it was for sure that it didn’t taste good.

 

[] Congratulations! The Predator has eaten <Unique> rank weapon <Ancient Rune sword> and became stronger!

 

Suddenly a congratulatory message appeared in front of Yusung.

 

“” Ancient Rune Sword? What does that mean?

 

The weapons that Yuseong fed to the Weapon-Eater were Practitioner sword, rough longsword, and broken pieces of old sword. He has never been seen or heard about the Ancient Rune Sword before.

 

‘’ It can’t be the Practitioner or Long sword, since the names are totally different. So the only thing left is the sword pieces…… does that mean if you collect them, it will become the weapon of Ancient Rune?
