The Hunter System
Chapter 28 - Second Business Partner
Stab... Stab…!
Raymond fell to his feet when he saw the head of the lizardman who almost killed him being pierced by Alvin's spear.
Raymond had only wanted to spy on Alvin's activities in one location because he was very curious about the power that Alvin had.
However, when he saw how Alvin could kill all the monsters in the first location very easily, without realizing it, he instead continued to follow Alvin to several locations where the monsters existed.
Alvin of course knew that Raymond had been following him from the start but he pretended not to be aware of Raymond's whereabouts and left it alone.
Alvin also accidentally lets one lizardman escape to later open Raymond's hideout, also wanting Raymond to know how dangerous this Dungeon is.
In addition, he also has a plan and needs Raymond's help to carry out the plan.
......................
Alvin thrusts his hand at the pale-faced Raymond who was nearly killed by the lizardman.
“You okay?” alvin asked as he pulled Raymond to his feet.
Raymond nodded quickly. He was very nervous when he was almost killed when he tried to fight with a lizardman.
He had also lost his dagger and had to get into the bushes to protect himself from those C rank Dungeon monsters.
“Y-yes.., I'm fine.” Raymond.
He suddenly realizes that Alvin may be suspicious of why he might be there. “I actually..”.
“I know you've been following me since at the first location.”
“Y-yes... A-what?!”
“Already. You can come if you want. I now want to go to the location of the boss of this Dungeon.”
With a face reddened in embarrassment, Raymond finally nodded slowly.
“Y-yes..”.
......................
“Bro, what exactly is your rating? You know, the lizardman is a monster that should be in a C rank Dungeon. So...”
“Means I'm taller than that,” says Alvin casually. He felt he did not have to cover anything from Raymond if he wanted to get Raymond on his side and do the thing that suddenly flashed through his mind during the raid.
Glup…
Raymond became very nervous. He has been thinking about it since. He also knew how many high rank hunters it would take to conquer a C rank Dungeon.
Raymond suspected that Alvin was at least A-rated and could not have been lower than that.
“But..., why are you hiding your rank? There are many large guilds who would be interested in signing you if they knew your true rank. You also do not need to do an illegal raid like this anymore.”
Alvin knows that too. The large guilds would also definitely protect him from the pursuit of the S City Association. But, he still had not thought of joining a guild because there were still things he had to do first.
“I still haven't thought of joining a guild.”
“Do you have a plan?”
“Yes. And I want you to join me" said Alvin, who then stopped his steps and turned to look at Raymond.
Raymond fell silent. He was second-guessing what kind of plan Alvin had and also why he needed a low-ranking hunter like himself to join.
“Do you want to create your own guild?”
Alvin laughs.
“I don't have such a plan. Creating your own guild is really very troublesome.”
Alvin then looked back, in the direction where he had left the lizardman's corpses.
“You saw those monster corpses?”
Raymond stared at the road they had been on, then nodded.
“Are they not very profitable if we sell them on the black market?”
Raymond's surprised. He also actually had thought and regretted if the bodies were not brought out and sold.
In fact, the corpse of a C rank Dungeon monster could be worth up to 250 dollars per corpse. That price was even higher than the corpse of an E rank Dungeon monster boss that only cost 200 dollars.
Glup…
Raymond thought about how much he would make if he could take out all the monster corpses and sell them.
“You're right,” Raymond nodded slowly. “So...., you mean... You want me to bring all the corpses of the monsters out of the gate?”
“Ya.”
“But, we don't have carts to lift them all.”
“I want you to think about how to get them out. The value of all those monsters is about 75,000 dollars right? That doesn't include his boss. If you come out with only magic crystals, at most you will only get 10,000 dollars.” Alvin smiled after ending his sentence.
Raymond knew that. All the hunters had once learned how much money they would earn both from mining magic crystals and from the corpses of monsters.
Different Dungeon levels, it will also differ in income.
Moreover, this was a C rank Dungeon. When else would he and his friends benefit greatly from a C rank Dungeon?
They might only be able to escape when they found out that they entered a C rank Dungeon. Perhaps only this time he and his companions were lucky to be able to obtain the corpses of monsters from high ranked Dungeons.
“How much is the division?” ask Raymond at last.
Alvin cheered in his heart, but tried to keep his facial expression to look ordinary.
“I'll take half of the profit from the sale, you and your friends take half. That was also true with all his magic crystals.”
“A-what? But.., at least not for the magic crystal. We still have to pay 10% of the proceeds from the sale to the person who provided the information on the existence of this Dungeon gate.”
Alvin doesn't really matter if you only get 10% from the sale value because he actually did not need a monster corpse below B rank anymore because the raid equipment he currently had came from a B rank Dungeon.
Can get 10% alone is enough for him than he keeps the bodies in the inventory that will only make the system angry with him because it is considered to have stored garbage.
But, he needed a lot of money for his future savings.
“Do you think you would be able to get all the magic crystals from this Dungeon if I wasn't here? Or, it's possible that those monsters will ambush you if I don't make the map right?”
Raymond was silent again. What Alvin said is absolutely true.
Alvin continued, “For the buyer, you don't have to worry about it. I have someone who will buy all the results of our raid and loot.”
“You have a link too?”
“Ya.”
“Who exactly are you?”
“Tsk... I also have a condition. You and your friends should never ask that question again if you still want to work with me.”
“What?! Do you want to continue working with us?!”
“You don't want to? You just need to find information on the gate that the Association has not yet retrieved. I'll do a raid and you guys will transport the monster corpses and do the mining. Does that not interest you?”
Glup…
Raymond flinched not because he wasn't interested. He was surprised because Alvin who he rated was in the A rank range was even willing to cooperate with hunters in the middle of nowhere like him.
There are many benefits to him. He does not need to worry anymore if they will be in financial distress.
“A-I will talk about it to my friends.”
Alvin smiled broadly.
“Good. Now, haul all the monster corpses out of the Dungeon. I'll kill his boss.”
