Chapter 34: spend money and eat money (1)
"Eutcha!"
Lokhan immediately scooped them up and put them in. He uses the tool because he knows he can get an electric shock if he just sticks his hand into it.
It was only a stun effect, and the level of the fish wasn't that high, so I couldn't expect another explosive level, but this was enough.
Lokhan swept away all the fish that came to his senses and returned to the village.

[You have completed Endless Research 15.]
"That's great. How did you know you had all of these?"
Rokan handed over the items he had taken to Materian, completing Materian's series of quests at once.
Materian was very surprised, but unfortunately he did not give the title.
"The next request is… … Well, it's still too much for you. Come back when you grow up a little more."
and issued a congratulatory order. The reason was that the level was too low.
He could have been furious at Materiaan's attitude of saying something different after ordering all the chores to be done, but Rokhan calmly accepted it. Because it was expected enough.
Instead, he took out the essence of the lake from his inventory and pushed it out.
"No, this is"
Materian immediately recognized the essence of the lake. Like a magician sensitive to mana, he felt the mana of the lake.
He took it as if stealing the essence of the lake, touched it here and there, and then looked at Rokhan.
"Hmmmm, how did you get this precious thing?"
"I caught the knight of the lake."
"Hear the knight of the lake… … You seem to be better than you think."
And his eyes lit up. When he confirmed that Lokhan's skills were beyond what he saw, his thoughts changed.
"Then, could you please do me another favor?"
'bingo!'
At Materian's subtly asked question, Rokan let out joy in his heart. He was able to receive the quest in advance, which was only available when he reached level 100.
'This reward was the 'Investigator's Ring'
The rewards of scenario quests were better than those of normal quests. The money and experience rewards were good, but the items given every time you passed a certain quest branch were so great that you could use them all the time even after raising dozens of levels.
What Rokan is aiming for is the investigation team member's ring. It was a rare item that could be obtained by reaching level 100 and performing some kind of quest.
"Just leave it to me."
So, Rokan readily gave an answer. If you get the investigation team member's ring, your growth will gain more momentum.
[Contemplation of death][Quest]
Materian believes that it is necessary to know about death as well as life in order to properly cure curses and diseases. Bring him the item containing the power of death.
Hakinne, a member of the disappeared investigation team, knows about the item containing the power of death.
-Success condition: Token of death 0/1
-Reward: 3 gold, large amount of experience, investigator's ring, title 'Investigator'
"Then please."
Rokhan happily accepted and left the wizard guild.

The place where Rokan headed straight was the auction house. In the quest, he tells you to find Investigator Ha Kinne, but he already knows that you can't find him anywhere.
"Searching for auction items, Harkinne's journal."
Instead, the pages of his journal were dropping all over the field.
However, the number of pages to get was random. If you don't have luck, you can get the same page over and over again, or you can go round and round because only one page doesn't come out.
That is why this quest, later called the 'Journal Quest', caused many people's anger.
'Yeah, I won't.'
So, Rokan coolly gave up collecting Harkinne's journals. Instead of giving up hunting and collecting on his own, he scoured the auction house and immediately bought each page.
It was a time when everyone was trying to earn even a penny by selling japtem, so I was able to purchase 11 pages out of 15 at once.
Only 4 pages left.
If it's less, it's less, but it's a number that doesn't know how many days it will take for someone who can't do it, so Rokhan was at ease.
Instead of laboring, he decided to visit the auction house from time to time and collect the remaining pages. Even if it's not them, there are quite a lot of things that you have to do.
"Now then, shall we organize the things we have opened?"
There were two main things that opened up.
The first is a real estate auction. However, there was still plenty of time until the scheduled time. The guilds must have been sweet, but Lokhan, who had the goods, did not need to be impatient.
As for money, thanks to Blood Chaser, there was enough money, and it was enough to buy consumables.
Then it was time to deal with the rest.
It was the killing of Blood Chaser.
"Open the homepage, open the comments and message box."
When I checked the comments and notes, there were quite a few comments from users who left with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
And among them, the most up-to-date information was found and confirmed.
"What is this?"
The location of the Blood Chaser written in the comments is a forest goblin village where people who have not reached level 50 are hunting. Apparently, he went to take his anger out on the wrong place after being slapped by Rokhan.
If it wasn't 'Yanghak', also known as massacre of civilians, there was a high possibility that it was fishing aiming for Rokan, but it didn't matter anyway. If it's a trap, destroy it entirely.
"I might be able to catch this."
Fortunately, it was not far from the village, so I set my direction and started running with all my might. It would have been nice to use the rune book, but unfortunately it wasn't in a pre-saved location.
"Stealth."
And one thing. I did not forget to use the stealth skill built into the cloak of stealth.
It's been quite a while since Rokan posted, and there have been quite a few reports, but since there was no activity from Rokan at all, they must have been caught off guard.
In the meantime, I thought that Lokhan, who appeared after breaking his stealth, would be a pretty fun surprise.
Lorkhan added power to his spurring feet and started chasing them.
* * *
"Those bastards are here again!"
"I'm going crazy that there's anything to eat! If I die this time, it will already be the fifth time!"
The first thing that greeted Rokhan at the Forest Goblin Village, which took about 10 minutes to arrive at, was the shouts and screams of the players.
The Blood Chaser, who had been beaten by Lokhan, was repeatedly raiding the level 40 hunting grounds as if to vent his anger, harassing low-level users.
'It's good science, that's good.'
Level 40 was not low compared to the entire load, but it wasn't high either. Even if you forcefully enter the secondary city to try to get ahead somehow, you are still the lowest in Trinsic.
Of course, not all Blood Chasers were above level 50, so it would be a worthwhile fight, but the fight was going one-sided in terms of the number of people and the fact that Blood Chasers took a surprise attack and attack first.
'They still haven't come to their senses.'
After observing the situation for a while while maintaining stealth, Rokhan gave a cold assessment.
It wasn't that he was blaming Blood Chaser for his schooling. PK is also part of the game.
What Rokhan rated them low was the complacency of the guys who rushed out leaving the support line behind them.
Maybe it's because they think there's no one around here to touch them, but even a small team would be very stupid to try to go against them.
"Leaf Attack."
As if there was nothing more to see, Rokhan jumped in.
The moment the attack skill was used, the stealth was automatically released, and the complexions of the priests and archers who were ecstatic in the rear turned blue. They too were among those slaughtered by Lorkhan.
"It's him!"
"crazy! It was true that you pretended to kill me."
The bewildered ones squealed, but fighting was not fought with snouts. Even at that moment, Rokan was in the middle of winning a series of kills while demonstrating a dash.
"Bounce!"
Rokhan was no longer their opponent. Because they felt it so badly, they chose to flee instead of fight.
"Where! Heh heh heh!"
But Lokhan couldn't just let goblins like treasure goblins go. When I shouted a war cry, they stood still with their eyes wide open just as they were about to run away.
"Throwing! Leaf Attack!"
I knew this would happen, and I had plenty of throwing weapons ready.
A leaf attack following a throw. Even if he couldn't get a kill in one shot, the blood chaser couldn't come to his senses at the hand ax throwing aimed only at his legs to slow down his movement.
"yes!"
"Well done!"
"I knew it would be like that one day!"
"But who is that person? … "
"I know! I heard that you killed the blood chaser on the bulletin board... … But it was real."
They met a miserable end amidst the delightful laughter of the low-level users they had been hunting before.
"If it appears again, please report it on the bulletin board!"
Rokan, who slaughtered them in an instant, shouted at the users who were being slaughtered while taking the items they dropped without even stretching his back.
Obviously, it was not intended to protect them. The intention was to hunt down Blood Chasers, which were no different from walking bonuses, and to increase pockets.
However, ordinary users could not know that. They liked it because it benefited them, and they only cheered for it, considering it like an apostle of justice.
"Bulletin board, okay!"
Of course, if you stray here, you will treat it like a Hogu and try to exploit it, but the opponent is Lokhan. Are they just using each other?
"thank you! Please destroy them!"
"That's right, Rokan-nim, they say they're in the dwarf field right now! Go ahead!"
"A dwarf field, thank you!"
I even received information from the field, saved the location in the rune book so that I could fly back at any time, and then moved straight to the dwarf field.
They might spread rumors and warn the insiders of Blood Chaser, but I thought I could do at least one or two more surprises.
"If I had known it would be like this, I would have marked it in advance."
If he had saved the nearby hunting grounds, he wouldn't have had to run around like this. I felt sad, but it's okay. You can actively save it from now on.
The hunting grounds of the users that they could touch were limited anyway, so if they saved it now, they would be able to use it for a while.
"Stealth."
Lorkhan went back to stealth and started moving behind them.
* * *
"Keep!"
"Someone do something with that bastard!"
"Then what do you do!"
"How to stop that"
"Please give me some time! I changed my equipment today!"
The Cloak of Stealth dropped by Blood Chaser really played a big role. It was because only thief-type jobs were able to use stealth skills in The Road.
And such people were only strong in one shot right after the stealth was released, but the durability of the battle was not good.
But Rokan
He slaughtered the Blood Chaser with overwhelming force that would make his mouth hurt to say the least. Such Lokhan appeared exquisitely enough to be hateful, and the wizard, archers, and priests were killed and the battle started, so the one-sided victim had no choice but to be the Blood Chaser.
'Hehehe! You're sucking honey properly!'
And the rumor spread quickly through the bulletin board. The bulletin board heated up as dozens of users who received his help posted comments on Rokan's kill post he enthusiastically posted.
