New skill (3)
“A skill? Well, since you will be earning in billions a month now, you will need enough.”
“yes. So I tried to buy it on Hunter Web, but the skill was very expensive.”
“Hunterweb is a bit risky. There are a lot of scams.”
“Ah…”
“Appraisers who have the skill to appraise item information are rare. You need to be careful when trading things like skill scrolls, skill goons, magic books, and secrets. So it’s better to use Hunter Market in Gangnam safely. Would you like to take a look?”
At Kang Jun-mo’s suggestion, the two immediately moved to the Hunter Market located in Gangnam.
Hunter Market is the name of the business, and it was the most famous among the places that sold items for hunters and awakened people. As the first company to transform the hunter market, where barter trade was prevalent, into a neat department store, it operated in the form of a department store and had everything from equipment to underwear.
The Hunter Market, which we arrived after driving for about 30 minutes, was a skyscraper.
“I came a few times when I was young, and every time I see it, it’s high.”
“It’s probably because there are a lot of hunter equipment and monster materials that are large. Hunter, please go in.”
The Hunter Market was overflowing with people. The first floor is luxury goods and luxury goods made using monster by-products.
When I went up to the 7th floor in the elevator using magic stones, the Skill Hall appeared. There was no solicitation like a department store, but each company was selling skill spheres and skill scrolls neatly arranged.
stand out among them.
[Heritage]
It was a brand heritage that made a name for itself by selling luxury items.
And although it is a luxury brand company, it also sold small items.
“Shall we take a look here?”
Sang-woo entered the heritage store with Jun-mo Kang.
Unlike other stores, skill spheres of various colors that looked like glass marbles were displayed in the store. The store showcases were divided into [Physical] and [Physical] classes, but most of the [Physical] classes were skills that could be obtained simply by training.
“… It’s a furniture making skill. I also have cursive handwriting skills. This is 2.99 million won.”
There were no people looking for it because there was no need to buy and learn the skill. However, due to its rarity, it has a high price point.
‘Something like a sprinting skill seems okay. But it’s expensive.’
I saw a few things that were useful among the physical sciences, but those skills were expensive, so for now, it’s a piece of cake.
Sang-woo, who only had it on his bucket list in his heart, was looking for telepathy-type skills, so he looked for supernatural skills.
Also the price was expensive.
The basic price range is 10,000 won.
In the case of the ‘Light’ skill, which simply illuminates a small sphere of light, it had a high item drop rate and despite its relatively low rarity, it was around 10 million won, so it was said.
‘For things like light skills, you can just buy a 30,000 won LED lantern. I get 10 million won for this.’
It was a time when he couldn’t afford to live and was looking for telepathy-type skills while mumbling. A pretty store clerk came over and said hello.
“welcome. Are you looking for something?”
“Uh hmm. Do you have any telepathic skills?”
“Are you telepathic? wait a minute.”
The employee, who simply searched for item data on the store computer, eventually guided them to the location of telepathic skills.
“From here to there, these are all telepathy-related skills. The skill description is attached here under the name tag.”
“thank you. I’ll take a quick look.”
The store clerk went back to greet another customer and Kang Jun-mo asked Sang-woo as if he was curious.
“Hunter. But why do you need telepathic skills?”
“Ah, that’s because I want to share my view of what the alter ego is doing. You have to know what’s going on when you give orders.”
“I’m sure it is.”
Sangwoo eventually found the ‘Familiar’ skill among the telepathic skills.
───────────────
< Familiar Skill >
Description: If you use this skill with an animal or pet summon, you can share the senses such as sight, smell, and hearing with the target.
Caution: Not for use on humans! There may be monsters or animals that are not applicable!
Price: KRW 129990000
───────────────
‘Found it.’
But the price is outrageous. Maybe the price has been added through the distribution process?
‘You can’t write to people. But the alter ego is not human.’
Sang-woo thought it would be okay because his alter ego was like a mana organism.
Kang Jun-mo was puzzled when Sang-woo was looking at the familiar skill.
“This is a familiar skill.”
“I think it will apply to your alter ego for some reason.”
“… um well.”
Kang Jun-mo seemed a bit ambiguous.
It’s true that an alter ego is summoned, but it’s ambiguous to call it ‘soo’.
Regardless of whether or not Sang-woo saw the skill ball he wanted so much, the desire to use it grew rapidly.
In the end, I couldn’t suppress it…
“Agent, is it possible for me to pay?”
shouted
* * *
Sang-woo, who received an advance payment of 50 million won from Jun-mo Kang and added a 3-month installment plan to purchase the skill, returned home immediately.
It was because I wanted to use the skill ball quickly.
Upon arriving home, Sang-woo immediately opened the box.
Skill balls carefully wrapped with bubble wrap.
“Now, let’s look at the manual.”
I put the skill sphere aside for a while and read the manual.
───────────────
[Heritage]
[Product Name] Skill Ball
[Usage] Inject mana into the skill ball. Users who cannot control mana, press the power button of the enclosed skill ball activator while in contact with the skill ball.
[Notes on returns/exchanges] Returns/exchanges are not possible after using the skill ball. If there is something wrong with the product upon visual inspection, please request a return/exchange before use.
…
───────────────
Currently, Sang-woo is out of mana control, so the only thing left is to use the activator.
‘Is it like this?’
He took out the skill ball and took out the enclosed remote control-shaped activator.
After that, I quietly held the skill orb in my left hand and pressed the power button of the activator with my right hand.
Then, the skill sphere suddenly started emitting light.
Weiying-
By the time that few seconds had passed.
The skill orb that emitted light disappeared without a trace.
And
[A familiar skill has been created.]
Sang-woo finally learned the familiar skill.
───────────────
[Familiar/Caster type (Lv. 1)] Shares the senses of the target subjugated object. Depending on the level, the sensitivity range increases.
-Current cast range: 1km
───────────────
‘Finally learned!’
Sangwoo read the skill description in detail.
I couldn’t help but be disappointed.
‘The only skill range is this?’
The distance is only 1 km.
This would have made it of little use.
‘If you raise the level, the distance will increase a little. Let’s try it.’
Sang-woo called in No. 2, who was exercising in a nearby park.
Then, he used his familiar skills.
As soon as I had the mind to use the skill, the energy in my body drained. However, the movement of mana was a little different from when using clone technique, and the feeling was different.
Contrary to the concern of ‘what if the familiar skill does not apply to the clone’, the familiar skill was normally eaten by the clone.
As soon as the skill was used, Sang-woo, who was looking at No. 2 in a training suit, shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
After that, his vision distorted as if he was being sucked into somewhere, and before he knew it, Sang-woo himself, wearing a shirt and jeans in a familiar room, began to appear in front of him.
‘Is this number 2’s field of view?’
No. 2 looked at Sang-woo even though there was no command, and occasionally looked around.
Looking at it from the point of view of No. 2, Sang-woo was amazed.
A mysterious floating sensation slightly different from one’s own vision.
Sang-woo ordered No. 2 to move.
‘Turn left.’
Number 2 turning to the left.
It was different from moving directly.
Human beings move intuitively by the neural response of the autonomic nervous system without going through thought, but No. 2 had to direct command to move.
Sang-woo tried jumps in place, push-ups, and sit-and-stand.
Number 2, which is often followed.
‘You don’t have to specify the action in detail. As usual, if you give a command in a large category, it will be understood. If that’s the case…’
Sang-woo instructed No. 2 to go to the park and exercise.
Then, No. 2 opens the front door and goes to a nearby park.
Eventually, No. 2 arrived at the park and started running through the park.
It wasn’t the level of slow jogging. After running for about 1-2 minutes, No. 2 is out of breath.
No. 2’s shortness of breath was immediately conveyed to Sang-woo.
‘Why is it so hard?’
Because he shares No. 2’s senses, Sang-woo, who is seeing No. 2’s vision with his familiar skill, was also very difficult.
It feels like you are running.
‘I can’t eat this for a long time. I have to use it to check the status occasionally.’
Sang-woo, who performed several tests remotely using the Familiar skill, canceled the use of the skill.
Then, the original sensations of his own body were properly felt.
I felt languid and exhausted for some reason, as if the energy in my body had escaped somewhere.
‘This seems to be secretly consuming mana.’
Among casting (active) skills, the familiar skill was close to the continuous casting (channeling: the caster cannot take other actions to maintain the effect for the duration) skill.
It was a little drowsy, but Sang-woo tried the skill on No. 1, who was training in martial arts at the gym.
When I looked at the distance between my room and the gym through the map app, it seemed like it was less than 1km away.
When I used the skill, I felt the energy draining from my body.
Then, I felt the magical power of the familiar skill flowing through the indescribable connection link between Sang-woo and No. 1.
Soon, Sang-woo’s vision wavered and a new background unfolded in front of him.
◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎
The floor is covered with mattresses.
This is the Hyper Martial Arts Gym.
Right now, Sang-woo is watching through the eyes of No. 1.
And the view was rapidly changing.
Number 1 was running forward.
And then, a tall wall came right in front of my eyes.
‘what!’
Surprised that they might bump into each other, No. 1 reached the wall and jumped as hard as he could, stepping the opposite foot toward the wall.
Then, when his feet touched the wall, he soared upward using the reaction of the forward force.
No. 1 soared nearly 1 meter.
At the same time, he reached out and placed his hand on the edge of the wall.
Then, No. 1 raised the other hand as well, using the power to push off the wall with both feet and the remaining momentum, he stood up on the wall in an instant.
“Wow, you do this in one go. It is also an ace.”
A familiar voice from below gave a loud compliment.
When No. 1 looked up, it was coach Lee Jong-hoon.
“Now, Sang-woo, come down. Do you have any luck when you come down? When you jump down and land, you can use the falling technique you learned earlier. If you do one two three, run. One, two, three!”
Then, No. 1 jumped from a height that seemed to be about 2 to 3 meters.
‘Ahh!’
Sang-woo, who shared his sights, was frightened because he had a fear of heights, but No. 1 jumped down without hesitation, and as soon as his feet were about to touch the floor, he curled up and rolled and cast a fall.
And then No. 1 landed safely without any shock.
“bravo! That’s awesome. You are doing really well. Haha.”
Lee Jong-hoon gave a thumbs up and clapped.
It was then.
My vision became dizzy and I felt like I was about to vomit, and then the connection with Unit 1 was terminated.
◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎
Sangwoo noticed that the Familiar skill was forcibly terminated.
‘Did I run out of mana?’
Along with a terrible sense of exhaustion, I felt tired as if I was about to die.
A phenomenon that occurs when all mana in the body is exhausted.
But Sang-woo was smiling.
Because that didn’t matter.
‘Aren’t No. 1’s alter egos only good at shooting?’
Sang-woo caught a glimpse of another possibility in No. 1’s body movements and excellent motor skills.
his eyes shone
