"What?!"
Jinwoo looked at Min-Jun in shock. "You joined the Hunters?!"
"What's wrong, Oppa?" Sung Jin-ah looked at Jin-Woo unhappily. "Don't be so loud at night!"
"But, Jinah, Min-Jun has joined the strongest guild in Korea!"
"It doesn't matter! Minjun-oppa is always Minjun-oppa!"
Unlike Sung Jinwoo, who made a big deal out of it, Sung Jinah didn't really pay much attention to Min-Jun's status as an S-Rank Hunter, or the fact that he had joined the strongest guild in Korea.
As long as he lived well, that would be her happiness, and because of that, she kept feeding him. "Eat more, Oppa."
"Hmm..."
Min-jun just kept eating without worrying about getting fat, since he had the "Manager," which would control his body's metabolism and keep him in perfect condition all the time.
When he thought about it, he realized that the "Manager" was really a valuable ability, since, despite being a little plain, it was effective and multifunctional, helping him in areas outside the battle.
This was also the reason why he could relax and eat dinner with Jinwoo and Jinah, even though his days as a Hunter would start soon.
By using the "Manager," he collected archery techniques from around the world, from the earliest times to the modern era, which helped him analyze and combine the best techniques for each situation.
More importantly, in the worst case, he would let the "auto-pilot" mode do all the battles as his mind wandered into an anime that he wanted to watch, or read the book that he wanted to read.
Wouldn't he be afraid to lose?
Please, with the "Manager," his battle would be even more efficient, with no errors.
Yet, it was boring, so when he thought about all of the things that he had analyzed, he felt that he could analyze all types of archery techniques, especially when his weapon, the Logic Arc, could change its form.
"But..." Jinwoo didn't even have the mood to watch how close Min-Jun and Jinah were. Instead, he felt that it was okay for them to be together, as he had known Min-Jun for a long time, and considering how dangerous his job was, he did not need to be afraid if he died, as Min-Jun was by Jinah's side, yet the fact that Min-Jun became the Hunter Hunterd everything.
Despite being the weakest Hunter in the Hunter world, Jin-Woo had been working in this industry for so long that he knew how dangerous it was.
"Are you sure that you made such an easy decision to join the Hunters Guild, Minjun?"
"What do you mean, Hyung?" Minjun looked at Jinwoo with a doubtful expression as he wasn't sure what Jinwoo wanted to say.
"They might promise you a lot of things, but won't you be worried that they are going to use you?"
Before Minjun even answered, Jinah rolled her eyes and answered, "Oppa, please, do you think Minjun-oppa is stupid?"
"....." Sung Jin-woo.
Min-jun was smart, and his admission to one of South Korea's most prestigious universities showed that his IQ wasn't low.
What about Jin-Woo?
"But, being a hunter is different! It's filled with danger!"
"But, Minjun-oppa is an S-Rank Hunter!"
As the two somewhat argued over his decision to enter the Hunters Guild, Minjun sighed and said, "100 billion won."
"....." 2x
Yup, those words quickly silenced the two of them.
"What if I tell you, I can get that amount easily in a month after I join the Hunters Guild?"
"..." 2x
"....you are joking, right? Oppa?" Jinah's expression was so funny, as she couldn't believe what she had heard, but could Minjun even be lying?
Jin-Woo couldn't even say a proper word, or rather, he didn't even say anything, since if he could get 100 billion won, would he still care about anything else?
"No, it's too troublesome to work by getting the 100 billion won monthly, as I don't need that much, and for me, as long as I have enough, it is fine."
What was the use of a lot of money in this world?
In the world of Solo Leveling, it was the strength of one's ability that mattered, and he couldn't care less about a small amount of pocket money, such as 100 billion won.
After all, with that amount of money, what could he buy?
A hospital, a building, a company?
When the gates and dungeons appeared all of a sudden and destroyed the infrastructure, he was afraid that he would go bankrupt already!
"When I was awakened as an S-Rank Hunter. I have two paths before me. First, to become a civil servant since the Korean Hunter Association wished for me to be the defender of Korea."
"...you don't want to?"
"If I become the defender, when do you think I can go home?" Min-jun smiled wryly. "Do you not miss me, Hyung? I might be forced to do all the missions that those hunter guilds don't want to do and might die somewhere with just a few million in salary."
"...."
"On the other hand, since I joined the Hunters Guild, I have the protection of all its members, and it is the only guild in Korea that has two S-Rank Hunters. As I am an archer, I am sure that the guildmaster will put me in the rear area. More importantly, they let him finish my study, and I can get the best training, skills, equipment, and other conveniences, including a share of the profits from the dungeons.
"Lastly, and more importantly, the guildmaster bought me this building and the hospital where the aunty is."
"Ah..." 2x
Those last words that came from him finally made them realise why Min-Jun decided to join the Hunters Guild.
Jinwoo and Jinah's mother was in the hospital, losing her consciousness due to a rare disease that was born after the existence of gates, Hunters, and mana emerged in this world.
The hospital fee was expensive; this was the reason why Jin-Woo forced himself into the dungeons despite being the weakest.
"Don't worry. Aunty is in the best room and under the watch of the best doctors. It is also under the watch of the Hunters Guild, so if there is a danger, such as the dungeons or the gate emerging, they will come instantly."
Minjun then looked at Jinah and said, "So, go and become a doctor, so you can help me manage the hospital."
"I LOVE YOU, OPPA!"
"....."
Jinwoo didn't stop the two, and was at a loss for a while, trying to process what Minjun had said, and felt at a loss by the difference between them, since while he scraped on the ground, trying to collect a small salary by killing monsters, which was practically almost killing himself daily, Minjun got everything instantly.
Still—
"What about the other guilds?"
"They just offer me a salary, and expect me to work like a slave."
"....."
Yup, the Hunters Guild was the best.
"So, Hyung, do you want to join the Hunters Guild, too?"
When his words fell, the room was all quiet.
