The next day.
Hunter Market in Gangnam.
Sang-woo was purchasing skills at the heritage store he had visited last time.
The skills he chose were basic skills.
───────────────

[Messenger (Lv. 1)/Cast type]: Sends a voice to the target.
───────────────
Very basic psychic skills related to magic.
The price is 2.5 billion each, 500 million each.
There was a skill that I liked very much and bought with extra expensive money.
─────────────── [Emotion (Lv.
1
)/casting type]: Grasp the information of the item.
───────────────
Appraisal skill!
As a skill that gives basic information about equipment or material items, it was a skill that was so popular that even with that skill, you could make a living doing appraisal work.
However, the price of the skill was a whopping 3 billion.
Sang-woo spent 5.5 billion won in an instant.
In the end, I wanted to buy skills like heal skills and magic arrows, but I couldn’t and had to finish shopping.
The payment was solved with an unlimited limit card that Kang Jun-mo had issued in advance.
“Come again!”
After shopping, the store clerks came out and bowed to Sang-woo and Kang Jun-mo.
After leaving the Hunter Market, the two decided to stop by the JM Agency office for a while before heading to Park Won-tae.
Sang-woo immediately opened the skill ball in the car and learned it.
“I finally learned the emotional skill. What do you have to feel?”
“Let’s appraise that cursed sword.”
“Oh right. But I guess that’s what it’s like to judge. But since I’m on Jeju Island right now, I’ll have to look at the alter ego and tell them to bring it.”
After talking about this and that, I arrived at the office before I knew it.
The office was now located in Gangnam.
It was moved to a larger place instead of the existing shabby officetel.
Currently, a total of two floors were used, including the top floor of a six-story building and the floor immediately below it, but a sales team manager with sales experience had come in to focus on selling monster corpses.
In addition, a new accountant to take care of the settlement came in, and now he is all-in with Sang-woo, so Kang Jun-mo alone had difficulties taking care of other hunters except for Sang-woo, so a management team was created to take care of the hunters.
It was still a bit small, but growth was accelerating as rumors about Sang-woo spread and hunters inquired about a contract with JM Agency.
When I stopped by the office on the 6th floor where I was working for a while to say hello, the employees who remained in the office jumped to their feet.
“hello! CEO.”
“Hello, Jung Sang-woo Hunter is also here. Long time no see.”
“nice to meet you. I am Jeong Sang-woo.”
“Hello Mi-jeong over there. This is Jung Sang-woo Hunter.”
“ah! hello! I heard a lot. The one next to you is your alter ego!”
The eyes of the staff looking at Sang-woo were as if they were looking at a celebrity.
It’s a shame because it’s the number one contributor to the sales of a fast-growing company in six months.
Kang Jun-mo left after a brief greeting.
“I stopped by for a while because I had work. Let’s have a party next time. See everyone.”
I left behind the envying eyes of the staff and came down to the 5th floor.
Then, a space with a clean white background, like a pharmaceutical company’s laboratory, unfolded.
It was Kim Woo-hyun’s laboratory, where various reagents and materials were arranged in beakers and test tubes.
And there was Kim Woo-hyun, who was working hard wearing a military cap.
As soon as the door opened, Kim Woo-hyun lifted his head to check who had come.
“Have you come? Is your agent here?”
Since he was accustomed to that lukewarm response, Sang-woo greeted him with a smile.
“Hello Hunter.”
“hi. How are you?”
“no. As you can see, I am tired.”
Kim Woo-hyun’s white face, which was already white, was especially white because he was only indoors and didn’t see sunlight.
Because of this, her red lips stood out exceptionally.
“Take it easy. see some sunlight But what did you put on your lips?”
Only then did Kim Woo-hyun raise his head and stare at him.
“Bargin! And you’re working hard to make potions for your alter egos?”
“That’s the case, but you also make a lot of money instead. then what happened Don’t you know about symbiosis?”
In fact, Kim Woo-hyun’s potion played a significant role in Sang-woo’s ability increase.
Sang-woo supplied monster material items to Kim Woo-hyun, and he was able to grow rapidly by feeding his alter egos various stat-boosting potions, such as strength potions, stamina potions, and endurance potions.
For this big picture, Sangwoo wanted to recruit Kim Woohyun and put a lot of effort into it.
Of course the alter ego.
“Ha… It’s stupid that I signed a contract with JM Agency because I was hooked by an alter ego. Whew.”
There is a saying called three highs and lows.
It is an old saying that Liu Bi visited the thatched-roofed house where he lived three times to attract Zhuge Liang.
Sang-woo made every effort to recruit Kim Woo-hyun.
By sending an alter ego.
He found out the house over the phone, went to the house, and left the clone in front of the door all day.
At first, it was Kim Woo-hyun who firmly refused.
However, Kim Woo-hyun, who was not aware of this even though he was an alter ego, eventually accepted the contract as Sang-woo (?) kept coming to him.
Unlike his sharp appearance, Kim Woo-hyun had a weak heart.
Instead, it was a condition to cancel the remaining contract with the Silvermoon Guild.
The Silvermoon Guild insisted that they did not pay even a single penny for Kim Woo-hyun’s down payment of 10 million won for various reasons such as management expenses, so they had no choice but to pay 10 million won and bring Kim Woo-hyun.
Of course, from Sang-woo’s point of view, the money was less than a day’s worth of hunting.
“Okay, did you bring the ingredients?”
“Not yet. Since I got trollking blood, it will be uploaded soon through the company.”
Then Kim Woo-hyun sighed heavily.
“Then, when do you get Iron Spa Toy King Bone Powder and Ogre King Bone Powder?”
The ingredient Kim Woo-hyun was looking for was actually an ingredient item for the newly acquired toxicology recipe.
───────────────

───────────────
A potion recipe was created to strengthen bones and skin.
Because of this, Sangwoo has recently been collecting ingredients for the recipe.
Because I had to become even a little stronger to deal with Class A.
“That’s just to take care of the Kanus Guild and go. And anyway, now I have to get A rank soon…”
“I heard that you are going to make potions and strengthen them. Class A is dangerous!”
“I got it, I got it. Why are you screaming like a girl? I’m going to get the ingredients.”
Kim Woo-hyun’s face turned red at those words.
Kang Jun-mo laughed awkwardly at the two of them.
‘Hunter Kim Woo-hyun is a woman…’
Yes.
Kim Woo-hyun was a woman.
She has a pretty face and small body, so if you look at her consciously as a woman, she looks like a woman, but she dresses like a man, has short hair, and has a husky voice, so you might mistake her for a man.
Kang Jun-mo, who confirmed the gender of Kim Woo-hyun written in the contract while signing with JM Agency, knew the fact.
Kang Jun-mo couldn’t directly ask why, but he guessed that the reason Kim Woo-hyun dressed like a man was because she was an orphan and had to survive in a harsh world to protect herself.
However, Sang-woo was treating Kim Woo-hyun like a man, probably not knowing that fact.
‘Um… this is embarrassing. Because of the confidentiality clause in the contract, it’s difficult to come out and tell them.’
Besides, Kim Woo-hyun never asked me to reveal that he was a woman.
Kang Jun-mo just stayed still.
“…Anyway, since you’re busy, take some potions and go. Do not interfere with work.”
“Nung~ Nung~ But where is the potion?”
“It’s over there.”
At the place Kim Woo-hyun pointed at, there were piles of potions made by her.
Potions labeled by type.
Sang-woo tried using his newly acquired appraisal skill.
’emotion.’
───────────────
< Muscle Potion >
A potion that has strength-enhancing effects.
-How to use: Drink a potion.
───────────────
Because he was using the familiar skill window, an information window appeared in Sang-woo’s field of vision, which was shared with No. 2.
But it was very simple.
“What is it to you? It’s pure nonsense.”
There was no explanation of the side effect of melting muscles or that it was made of poison.
Perhaps because of the low emotional skill level, it seemed that all the information was not visible.
‘I’ll have to write diligently.’
With that thought in mind, Sang-woo checked the status window before using the potion.
──────────────

Quickness: 10.487 → 10.540

───────────────
It has only been a day, but the sum of all the stats raised has risen by almost 0.3.
Sang-woo was pleased and made the alter ego #2 next to him eat the potion.
After No. 2 ate two or so strength potions stored in a syrup container,
[Your strength has increased by 0.001.]
A message that your strength has increased came to mind.
And Satisfaction appeared on Sangwoo’s face.
“As expected, this has the same effect as the jewel. Now number 2. Drink all the potions here.”
Then No. 2 began to gulp down the potions like crazy.
[Strength has risen by 0.001.]
[Attitude has risen by 0.001.]
[Poison resistance has risen by 0.001.]
…
And in the meantime, do you get EXP from hunting in Jeju Island?
[Regeneration has increased by 0.001.]
[Regeneration power This has risen by 0.001.]
…
Messages announcing growth came to mind without a break.
‘Oh, I’m out of my mind.’
It was a pity that the system didn’t have a function to turn off notifications.
So Sang-woo patiently waited until No. 2 finished the potion.
No. 2 did well, but after eating about 200 potions, his body condition became dark and mushy, and he became strange and was reverse summoned.
However, there are still about 500 potions left.
Sang-woo made alter ego No. 3 eat a potion this time and summoned a new alter ego without hesitation despite the presence of others.
Have I forgotten that the alter ego appears naked?
However, the alter ego that appeared before long was not naked.
Sang-woo’s alter ego slowly appears.
Surprisingly, the alter ego was wearing the same clothes as Sang-woo.
