Chapter Title: Constellation Gallery EP. 29
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After taking down Pimuk, four-figure sponsorships started pouring in.
Laughter bubbled out uncontrollably.
The warm support was part of it, but really, it was the Constellations' reactions.
Catching Pimuk brought in four-figure sponsorships.
Laughter kept leaking out.
The heartwarming support was part of the reason, but precisely, it was because of the Constellations' reactions.
They get cursed at and laugh it off like it's good.
As expected, to them, it's just entertaining play.
That thought made the laughter turn bitter.
"Uncle...?"
Tulip still had a worried face.
"You fought chugging potions alone, right...?"
"Not like that."
"Don't lie! I remember exactly how you were."
Her voice was full of conviction.
"Uncle, you're in better shape now than before that monster appeared... You think I wouldn't notice?"
"Can your Medicine skill see that too? Nice."
"Uncle!"
"Fine, I chugged a bit. For fatigue."
Tulip's eyes reddened.
"A cheapskate like you... chugging potions for us... soloing the monster too..."
"Tulip..."
"Don't brush it off with lies!"
"No, drop the cheapskate part."
"......"
Tulip's tears receded.
"Anyway, it's over and I'm fine, so no melodrama. Go back to sleep."
"How...?"
"Close your eyes."
"Not what I meant! What if they come again?!"
"It's fine. They won't. Gut feeling."
Precisely, inference via Constellation Gallery.
So close to certainty.
Still, the surprised pair couldn't sleep easy.
"Force it. You're a doctor. Make the best sleeping pills and split them."
"You sleep, Uncle."
"I'm on watch."
Morning came.
They somehow slept, and I let them wake naturally.
Recovering their Vitality was priority.
With my Vitality at 10, my mind was clear even without sleep for days.
Sleep wasn't the issue. Constellation Gallery was.
'Ugh, post some useful info already.'
No useful info from tossing through the gallery all night.
Not that I dug deep.
I'm such an idiot.
Found the nonsense from gallery idiots hilarious, stared at that till morning.
Gallery had tons asking what Pan Hunter did all night.
Misunderstandings he was planning solo or感動 guarding allies sleepless.
More sponsorships thanks to that.
But so what.
No real info gained.
"Ugh! Go die, you moron!"
I was smacking my head when.
"Uncle...?"
"Ah, sorry. Awake? Was I loud?"
"No, your wake-up method was weird anyway. What time is it?"
"Dunno. Monster smashed the clock."
"Right, the monster! Thanks to you killing it, we got 5,000 Gold reward! Thank you!"
"Use sparingly."
Kang Harin woke late, we ate breakfast.
"Thanks from the heart yesterday. Gun didn't work on that monster, you took it down."
"Want to say eat hearty for last supper, but don't overeat."
"Why?"
Kang Harin and Tulip both had question marks.
Embarrassed by praise, changed topic casually, but why? Need to bullsh*t.
"Might puke in battle."
"Ah......"
"Joking. Eat up."
"You killed my appetite, Uncle..."
Ate, did dishes.
"Uncle, you told us to shoe up like home, why dishes?"
"Plates, utensils. Inventory them."
"I'll do dishes!"
"Nah."
Kang Harin stepped up, but I stopped her, turned away.
"Pack extra clothes too. Might wanna change. Rip or sh*t."
"I'll pack!"
Kang Harin stuffed Tulip's bags of clothes into her Inventory.
Utensils and essentials too.
"Ready to go? Nothing missed?"
"Yes!"
"But Uncle, where to?"
"Clear Archer achievement first."
"Achievement?"
"Yeah. Slayer achievement. Wonder what it gives this time."
Kang Harin's eyes widened.
The sight before her was blindingly fast and intense, like a flash.
Notifications stacked endlessly before vanishing.
Source: Yoo Juhan.
'Overnight... way... way stronger.'
That guy gets stronger every time I see him.
First time smashing monster with frying pan.
Mart, pushing monsters like waves.
And now.
Monsters shooting arrows at him.
But he wasn't even parrying—dodging visually.
At insane speed.
Every sword swing danced and sparkled, monster numbers plummeted.
In this brutal reality, that sight was uniquely beautiful. Like aurora on a dazzling day.
'Can I get that strong too...?'
Owes him big.
Wants to repay somehow.
Kang Harin clenched her fist.
Vowed.
To become meaningful firepower.
🎁 Reward:Random Consumable Chest x1, 10,000 Gold
"Cleared it. Expected more from reward."
"Why?"
"Similar to Ghoul one."
No 'region rank up' like last time?
Then, Slayer birth raised rank; now Slayer exists?
'If I'm right...'
Grab Gold/rewards max while possible.
Pimuk-like could appear anytime.
Achievements easiest/important.
But if monster types fixed till rank change, no more unknown achievements.
To farm Slayer achievements reliably, need region move.
Issue: Unknown early zone end/next info.
'Head to one early event zone, clear Slayer first.'
I looked at Kang Harin.
"Can you make a car by chance?"
"...Pardon?"
"Make anything, right? Short-term too much?"
"I'll try! But need materials at least."
Materials take time.
Shop no car?
Guns illegal in Korea sold; legal cars must be.
Opened shop hopeful.
[Search: Car]
List up, cheapest.
Captured my eyes.
[Tico - 115,000G]
"What the fuck."
Crazy bastards, 100k Gold per car.
Keys separate?
Grab keys, pick up car on street.
Yeah, Tico key cheap AF?
[Tico Car Key - 110,000G]
"Not buying, you bastards."
Turned to Kang Harin again.
"No choice, do that then."
"That?"
What are these crazies saying.
"You know that. Thermoforming."
