Chapter 121

Kim Yoo-Na’s eyes widened .

“This……? Is this ‘that’ as well?”

“Yes . ”

Kim Yoo-Na agreed on Hyun-Soo’s plan to gain control through food .

It was possible because she worked with Hyun-Soo for a long time .

Hyun-Soo also assumed that Kim Yoo-Na somewhat had an idea about his skill .

‘There’s no way someone as quick-witted as Kim Yoo-Na wouldn’t know . ’

But she never asked him directly or hinted at it, so all he did was assume .

She was surprised by the tangerine that Hyun-Soo gave her .

She knew about his cooking skills since she ate his food before, so she wasn’t expecting this at all .

“So that’s why they acted that way . ”

She thought things were working out on their own because they reacted so passionately and didn’t know this was the reason .

“It’s not an ordinary tangerine . You did something to it, right? I’m assuming it’s related to what you wanted to tell me . ”

“Yes, that’s right . Regarding the potions that are being sold at the black market, I’m thinking about making a more systematic approach . ”

“The potion that are being sold? Are you thinking about selling them through a different method?”

“I’m still thinking about it, but it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead . ”

Getting the result you want right away was difficult .

That’s why it’s important to take one step at a time even if it takes longer .

Then you’ll be able to reach your goal during the most important moment .

“What kind of plan is it?”

She was no longer focused on the tangerine .

She turned into a serious businesswoman .

“I’m planning on putting a grade on the potions . It would be divided into low rank and high rank potions . I’m thinking about making the low rank potions cheaper so that more people will purchase it . High-ranked hunters will most likely go for the high rank potions, so it wouldn’t bad to offer those to them . ”

“Are you thinking about making them limited editions?”

“Yeah, because all they have if money . And if it’s limited, it’ll make them want to buy it even more . They’re not interested in ordinary potions, so using that method to sell potions to them wouldn’t be that bad . ”

“I agree . Selling ranked potions…not a bad idea . No, it’s actually great . ”

She mumbled while looking down at the tangerine that was in her hand .

“The world is changing, but the hunters are still in the same spot . There are a lot of A rank hunters that are unable to overcome the S rank barrier . Excluding those hunters, everyone else is changing . ”

Colorful portal .

An odd transformation that didn’t exist before .

Skilled hunters tried hunting it, but they ended up failing .

‘Evolution or selection . ’

What Kim Yoo-Na said was simple .

They didn’t know what kind of danger they were facing .

Will this evolution stop here or will it grow bigger that it’ll eventually get out of hand?

If they don’t change with that evolution, they’ll fall behind…

‘That’s us . ’

It wasn’t just the FE clan .

The FE clan and other groups .

The last would be mankind .

When the portal first appeared, it affected a large amount of the population .

Before hunters appeared, people predicted that the world was going to end .

But there was one reason why mankind and civilization didn’t die out .

Evolution .

And change .

In order to go against the mysterious portal, hunters were the result of the change .

And Kim Yoo-Na was talking about another evolution .

A change for evolution .

And the preparation stage for that change .

She was pointing that out .

“In that sense, I support your decision . I’m not saying it from the business aspect . As a human and a member of the human race, I want to thank you for it too . ”

Kim Yoo-Na bowed .

‘The reason wasn’t even that grand . ’

An amazing task for the human race .

He didn’t have the time to do that .

He didn’t have that kind of strength and wasn’t in the position to do something like that .

‘I don’t know what will happen in the future, but she’s thinking highly of me when all I’m trying to do is survive . ’

All this time, Hyun-Soo lived to survive .

He wanted to live a better life to be exact .

That’s why he was doing everything he could in order to make money .

A life where he could live happily without being pressured by others .

He thought it wasn’t a bad life since his family had been living a long, difficult life .

He endured all of that and came this far .

‘But a comfortable life…we still have a long way to go . ’

Even the rich had their own problems .

But the people here were trying to get more and take away as much as they could .

It was a cold world because they didn’t care who got hurt during the process as long as they were okay .

It was probably the same everywhere .

But seeing people unsatisfied with what they had and stepping on others to get more was an unpleasant sight .

That made Hyun-Soo look towards the top of the world .

There were other reasons, but that was one of the reasons .

‘And this plan will help me reach that goal . ’

Out of all the hunters, there were only a few high-ranked hunters .

Most were low-ranked hunters .

Low-ranked hunters usually make a big deal before entering a portal .

Was there really a need to give them potions?

‘I’m not working for charity . ’

It was like planting seeds into a field .

It was hard to say which of those seeds will grow, but among the few that does grow a lot, they’ll provide a nice shade for Hyun-Soo .

‘Many a little, makes a mickle . ’

He was forced to include the low-ranked hunters .

It was also because he was reminded of the time he was a low-ranked hunter .

He wasn’t like Kim Yoo-Na who was a leader of a large group, but he wanted to assist the low-ranked hunters a bit .

There was a reason why having a lot of people was beneficial .

The more people a group has, the more power they have .

If Hyun-Soo’s potion helped them, then that optimistic mindset will help them someday .

It didn’t matter if they had limited strategies against the high-ranked hunters .

But it was better to kill two birds with one stone .

“If things work out according to your plan, then the potions will aid them . When a hunter grows, the chance of them changing increases as well . It’ll increase the hunters’ overall level . ”

“Yeah . I’m not sure how much it’ll affect them, but it’s better than nothing . ”

If a hunter’s level increases even just a little bit, it’ll make the hunt a lot easier .

Then they’ll be able to earn more experience .

Like Kim Yoo-Na mentioned, it can increase a hunter’s overall level .

‘But this is just an extremely optimistic assumption, of course . ’

Wouldn’t it be nice if things went the way he wanted?

Problems and changes that Hyun-Soo never expected could occur .

Kim Yoo-Na also knew .

But despite of Hyun-Soo’s decision, she displayed a happy, beautiful smile .

“I’ll fully support your decision . Profit is important, but that doesn’t mean profit makes up for everything . ”

“Well, I don’t think we have to worry about profit since we have the low-ranked hunters . We can get profit elsewhere . How’s that tangerine?”

“This tangerine?”

She looked down at the tangerine that was in her hand .

“It’s a bit different from the food you made before . The hunters’ reacted really well while eating the food . ”

“It was good, right?”

“Yeah . I have never eaten a tangerine as sweet as this one . ”

She ate a variety of fruits other than the tangerine and among them, she’s never eaten a tangerine that was this sweet and had this much sugar .

“Can you check your energy?”

“Excuse me? The energy in my body? Why should…!”

After Hyun-Soo asked, Kim Yoo-Na started concentrating and stopped talking .

She then opened her eyes .

She couldn’t talk because she was so surprised and just blinked while looking at Hyun-Soo .

‘It’s obvious she’s reacting that way since the tangerine was filled with energy . ’

Hyun-Soo didn’t say anything and just thought Kim Yoo-Na looked cute .

‘Let’s see . ’

He activated Interface and saw that her total energy increased .

It was a small percentage, but she was lucky .

‘Things will work out easier than I thought . ’

“Hyun-Soo? How did…this happen?”

Energy moved inside her body and she was able to feel a larger amount of energy moving within her .

It was a small amount, but as she carefully checked herself, she was able to notice the small change within her .

She was able to easily find out the reason .

The tangerine in her hand .

It was so sweet that she couldn’t stop herself from putting the whole thing in her mouth . It was the same tangerine that Hyun-Soo gave her .

Full of surprises .

That’s what Kim Yoo-Na thought every time she saw Hyun-Soo .

Hyun-Soo always thought ahead of Kim Yoo-Na .

When she believed that she figured something out, he offered something more and surprised her .

‘Was that why?’

It felt like whenever they got close, they grow apart and when she gets the courage to take a step forward, he becomes far away .

Shake, shake .

Kim Yoo-Na shook her head and threw away her thoughts .

Now wasn’t the time to think about things like that .

“What do you think?”

He already knew the answer, but still wanted to ask .

“There will…definitely be a war . ”

Hyun-Soo’s potion alone was enough to create chaos .

But a potion that will increase the energy’s max limit?

Any hunter that desired power would want it .

A potion that increases one’s stats or recovers one’s stamina couldn’t be bought .

But there’s a potion that increases the energy’s max limit?

Hunters that aren’t able to overcome the S rank wall will desperately want it .

Those that are thirsty will do whatever they can to quench that thirst .

Even if it meant that they had to cut their skin open and drink the blood .

Hyun-Soo noticed her worried expression .

‘……I’m a pretty lucky guy . ’

Hyun-Soo already knew how people were going to react once they release this .

He expected bad reactions as well .

There was going to be a lot of people that wanted it .

Kim Yoo-Na was a hunter too .

It’s possible that she would want one too .

She could’ve asked what Hyun-Soo did to the tangerine .

But her face wasn’t filled with greed, desire or curiosity . She was just worried about Hyun-Soo .
