The Hunter That Eats Artifacts - Chapter 4

[One thing I want to eat now] (2)

He grabbed his head with both hands and pressed his temples with his thumbs.

He wondered how bad the headache was.

“Do you want to eat artifacts?”

Kang-hyun tried to keep his mind on his limbs.

“I want to eat artifacts!”

His heart rang like a lie, and the artifact pulled like crazy.

“What is this?”

That feeling like drinking a lot of alcohol and then pulling something big.

Just like the smell of warm fish cake broth outside on a cold day.

That is what he felt at that moment.

Kang-hyun’s body wanted an artifact.

“Am I crazy? Did I even dream while still stunned?”

He pinched his cheeks.

“Ouch.”

It was excruciating.

This time he waved his head to wake up.

“Aigo.”

He was just dizzy.

No matter how much he thinks about it, this is reality.

“Relics! Relics! I want to eat artifacts!”

But how can he be filled with the thought that he wants to eat artifacts?

The idea that he wanted to eat relics was like the temptation to eat on an empty stomach.

“This is not the time,” he said to himself.

Of course, it was not Kang-hyun who could not stand such temptation.

Kang-hyun shakes off his thoughts and checks his body first.

The limbs were all attached, and no scars were visible on his face and belly.

That only means he had safely exited the gate.

“Is brother, okay?”

Lee Dong-joon first came to his mind when he got up.

“Ugh!”

When he tried to get out of bed, the throbbing pain rose over his body.

Kang-hyun bit his molar tightly and endured the pain.

He hooked the ringer on a moving iron rod, grabbed the rod, and then stood up.

As the field of view increased, a note attached to the bedside caught his attention.

“Uh? This is Dong-joon’s handwriting, right?”

He reached it out by his other hand and checked its contents.

[The rescue team came and saved us. Do you know how high I am within the association? So, do not ignore your brother in the future! And your belongings are in the closet. Call me when you wake up.

– Dong-joon.]

Writing a sentence saying that you are more like a relative than your own.

Kang-hyun stopped laughing.

Lee Dong-joon always seemed to be a weird person.

“This man, he was awakened before me.”

He saw a lot of bullshit, but his brother seemed fine.

Choi Kang-hyun sat on his bed again without knowing if he was relieved.

He looked around the hospital room.

It was a single room that could be used alone.

“The daily fee here would be quite expensive.”

Well.

The salty stone could not spend money in the hospital room.

If he has Lee Dong-joon’s personality, he would have said this, “It is not a hotel, it’s not a date with a woman. Whether it is a single room or a six-person room, they are all in the same hospital.”

When he thinks about it, his brother was never.

His head was shaking again.

For him, an E-class interpreter, the association was willing to spend money.

“Well, it doesn’t matter if I do not have money.”

There was no need to worry.

“Hmm.”

Kang-hyun quickly organized his thoughts.

Bang Sang-cheol and Cheon Tae-young were threatened by life and hid in a secret room. He remembers that he caught the sarcophagus there, and he loses his mind.

He closed his eyes and tried to remember what happened afterward.

“Hmm.”

That is precisely what Kang Hyun can remember.

Kang-hyun seemed to have been rescued by the association rescue team since he was stunned.

He did not know what happened to Sang-cheol Bang and Cheon Tae-young.

Of course, it was also a matter of finding out.

The important thing is that he and Lee Dong-joon are alive and off the gate.

He looked out the window.

The bright sun was shining.

He turned his head to check the time.

The clock on the wall was pointing at 10:50.

“10:50 am?”

It was around 1 pm when he entered the gate. It means that one day has already passed by time.

Kang-hyun forcibly got up and went to the closet.

Relying on a moving ringer rod, it was worth walking.

Fortunately, the pain he felt in his head, and the body gradually subsided over time.

“Is it going to be fast? I hoped that I could be discharged soon if I did well.”

Choi opened a small closet in the hospital room; it squeaked.

Clothes and a smartphone on it came into view upon opening it.

“Well?”

The funny thing is that a small note is also attached to the smartphone.

He checked the note.

[One day has already passed. The doctor said your consciousness would return by today. Be sure to call when you wake up.

-Dong-joon]

Looking at another note from Lee Dong-joon, he was relieved.

When all his worries disappeared, he found himself madly hungry.

At the same time, the appearance of the artifact naturally came to his mind.

“Why am I doing this?”

Like a metal drawn by a magnet, Kang-hyun’s body was hungry for artifacts.

“I’ll turn to it. Really.”

First, he packed his wallet. He needs to check that out.

Kang-hyun suddenly recalled what happened in the dungeon.

“Is there great energy flowing out of the sarcophagus?”

He wondered if this was related to the events that occurred in the dungeon.

“Stop checking if you are curious.”

“Let us go to the artifact shop.”

Kang-hyun approached the door.

It was then.

Someone knocked and opened the door.

“Uh? Are you awake?”

The man at the door was slightly surprised and smiled.

“You?”

Kang-hyun looked at the opponent with surprised eyes.

A very famous person was standing in front of him.

“I’m Ki Chun-woong, the guild leader of Lucca Guild, nice to meet you.”

He reached out and asked for a handshake.

Ki Chun-woong introduces himself with his mouth.

Do you think some people do not know Ki Chun-woong and Koreans?

If you face the President, you could see on TV; you will probably feel the way it is now.

Meeting Ki Chun-woong is like reaching a star in the sky.

It was a strange feeling.

Of course, I was not nervous.

“Yes, nice to meet you. I am Choi Kang-hyun.”

Kang-hyun held out his hand and shook hands with Ki Chun-woong.

“Where did you think you were going?” asked Ki Chun-woong.

Since they met at the door, he did not even know it was a natural question.

“It’s nothing special. But what are you doing here?” he answered.

“Can I sit down? I don’t like to stand and talk at the door.”

“Oh! Yes, you do.”

Kang-hyun led him to the luxurious sofa in the room.

Suddenly, a man that looked like his secretary came in with fruit and a flower basket in both hands.

“Put it over there.”

“Okay, Mr. President.”

The secretary, who placed the fruit and flower basket under the direction of Ki Chun-woong, greeted him sharply, then went out and closed the door of the hospital room.

“Sit.”

Kang-hyun sat down, facing Ki Chun-woong.

Looking at the imposing body’s SS-class hunter, it seemed to know who provided the single-room ward.

Of course, that was expected.

“Did you consider the use of this single hospital room?”

When asked by Kang-hyun, Ki Chun-woong said with a slightly sorry face, “Of course. We must bear it. How are you feeling? Are you sick?”

“It’s a little throbbing and greasy, but overall okay.”

“Good thing.”

“First of all, I sincerely apologize for having experienced something unfortunate due to our company’s guild members.”

Ki Chun-woong got up and bowed down.

“Uh?”

Kang-hyun felt embarrassed.

There are about 500,000 hunters in Korea.

Among them, E, D, C, and B hunters are approximately 450,000, and A-Class hunters are about 45,000.

In other words, the number reduced from the S-class hunter called the unique class.

From the S level, it was meant that they were state officials.

But now, the person who just apologized to Kang-hyun by bowing down was an SS-class hunter. He is a tremendous person who ranks 1st in Korea and 10th in the world.

A great man was admitting his mistake in front of him.

Should it be said that it is a position that cannot found in ordinary chaebols?

Are Korean heroes different?

National Hero Ki Chun-woong.

Kang-hyun felt tight and clogged with his straight-forward and sincere attitude.

After completing the apology, Ki Chun-woong sat down and talked again.

“Lucca will pay for all the medical expenses as well as hospital expenses. If you leave the hospital, I will give you enough cases.”

Kang-hyun looked at Ki Chun-woong.

If this were the case, it would have been enough for the legal team of the Lucca company to step up and deal with it.

But Ki Chun-woong is different, isn’t he?

When this incident became noisy, it was evident that Lucca Guild would be seriously damaged by the images he had made so far.

That is why the President went out for himself.

Kang-hyun nodded and said, “You and Dong-joon want to shut up.”

In the words of Kang-hyun, Ki Chun-woong opened his eyes wide and said, “You are quick to judge. I was really surprised. Ah! Of course, I won’t do any force you. I just want to tell you that I feel very responsible for this.”

Ki Chun-woong was much hairier than he had seen on TV.

If you are talented, then you are talented.

What kind of chaebol in Korea can you show like Ki Chun-woong?

Maybe because of his confidence?

He is a man who started with bare hands and put Lucca Hunter Guild company at the top of Korea.

In addition, Lucca was also listed in the top 50 companies in the world.

In other words, the world’s chaebol chairperson directly acknowledges their mistakes and reads the victims.

In any way, it was a part that felt a bit unreal.

But that doesn’t mean there’s a reason to shrink.

“Is the police and association investigation finished?” Kang-hyun asked proudly.

“Not yet. However, we have already released a black box recorded by Lee Dong-joon. It recorded all the contents about you before you lost your mind.”

Kang-hyun nodded.

It was only a matter of time before the facts were revealed without the need to investigate if the conversations so far were recorded.

“I apologize once again for any inconvenience caused by this incident.”

“Thank you.”

“But Choi Kang-hyun, they said that you were 21 years old. Is it true?”

“Yes.”

“You look mature than I am.”

“Didn’t I look like a kid?”

“No. It does not mean that. Should I say that I really like your personality?”

“Are there such personalities in the world?”

“I’m not saying anything, but I’m really happy to see the hunter in front of me.”

“I understand with praise.

“Of course, it is a compliment. Choi Kang-hyun Hunter?”

“Yeah?”

“If you leave the hospital, you will have a meal with me.”

“A meal?”

“When I look at talent again, I can’t stand still.”

“I’m that knowledge hunter?”

“A person’s mana doesn’t necessarily identify him or her. I see the potential of Choi Kang-hyun hunter. So please don’t refuse and eat with me.”

Is there anyone in the world who feels bad about being the world’s largest conglomerate chairman and the best hunter to find out about his true value?

It was normal when he felt good.

“What potential did you see from me?”

Strangely, Kang-hyun did not like how it sounds.

Of course, there was no need to show emotion.

“Yeah. Well, let us do that.”

He just accepts his courtesy.

Ki Chun-woong stood up.

“I must go.”

Kang-hyun also got up from his seat.

“Yeah. Please.”

“By the way, although this is a hospital, you can order anything you want. Don’t be burdened if you want something to eat, order it to eat.”

Well, it was strange, but one thing he wanted to eat right now was not food, but artifacts.

“I’m really going crazy,” Kang-hyun thought to himself.

Kang-hyun and Ki Chun-woong separated at the door of the hospital room.

He watited for Ki Chun-woong to disappear.

A little time passed.

He hurriedly opened the door and left the hospital room.

The destination is a relic souvenir shop in the hospital.

Kang-hyun dragged the portable ringer hanger and arrived at the relic souvenir shop in the basement of the general hospital.

He went inside the store.

<Capture the artifact.>

<Identify the relics that can be analyzed.>

A letter appeared in the field of view with a strange alarm.

“What?”

He did not even know it himself.

It was because of a phenomenon that he had never experienced before.
