Chapter 21

“Huh.”
Ming Hu, who had been running around to catch the monster fox, could only stop walking and let out a short sigh.
“How come I don’t see one?”
After my second monster fox, I didn’t kill a single monster fox. It wasn’t that I didn’t encounter any monster foxes per se, I found tons of vacant lots and saw monster foxes. The problem was that there were more than three of them in every clearing.
“If there were only two of them, I’d try to do something with a single blow.”
With only two, I could take out one with a single blow and see how I would fight the remaining one, but three was too much for me. Even if I could take out one with a single blow, it would be quickly overwhelmed by the combo of the next two.
“Huh.”
Ming Hu sighed again and opened his character window.

“It’ll melt in a second for three, right?”
Given the battles so far, I would have melted in an instant against two of them, let alone three.
“Shouldn’t we have just gone hunting for the big fox?”
I felt a little regretful. But after all this time, he figured he had to save something, so he closed the character window and started walking again.
Squeak
“…!”
Soon enough, Ming Hu made his way through the bushes and found a clearing, and when he saw what was inside, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Two!
There were two monster foxes sleeping in the vacant lot.
DuribunDuribun
Just in case, Ming Hu scanned the clearing carefully, but there were no other monster foxes in sight.
Jumbled
Ming Hu quietly stepped into the clearing and began to walk toward the monster fox. As he walked, a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
“I can’t believe you’re sleeping!
Not only were there two of them, but they were both sleeping. Ming Hu thought that he could easily take care of one of them. Soon he was in front of the monster fox, and he shook his fist at the monster fox and shouted, “I’m going to kill it.
“Strike!”
Puck!
-Chew!

[Level up!]
The monster fox collapsed under the blow, accompanied by numerous leveling messages. As soon as it fell, Ming Hu quickly began to run toward the remaining Monstrous Foxes.
-Khee hee hee hee?
Waking up to Ming Hu’s shouts and the screams of the dead monster fox, the monster fox tilted its head when it saw Ming Hu running toward it, and it swung its forepaws at Ming Hu, who was now in its path.
Boom!
Ming Hu smiled as he saw the front paws flying toward him. The monster fox didn’t seem to have gotten the hang of things yet.
Puck!
Ming Hu didn’t dodge the flying monster fox’s front paw, but took the blow and stepped forward, simultaneously throwing a punch at the monster fox and shouting, “I’m going to kill you.
“Strike!”
Puck!
-Chew!

Once again, the monster fox collapsed, accompanied by numerous leveling up messages. Ming Hu looked at the fallen monster fox and turned around to look at the first one.
“Is it the sleep?”
The hunt was much easier than I thought it would be. It was no easier than catching one, no, it was incomparably easier.
“Let’s just pick up the temp.”
Ming Hu muttered something like that and started picking up the dropped items.
-You have acquired the hide of a monstrous fox.
-You’ve mastered the Steel Claws of the Monstrous Fox.
-You have mastered the Steel Tail of the Monstrous Fox.
Jumbled
“Huh?”
As Ming Hu circled the corpses and picked up the dropped items, he couldn’t help but smile with a twinkle in his eye when he saw the item dropped by the first monster fox he killed.
“Ring!”
It was unmistakably a ring, though he would have to pick it up to be sure. Ming Hu pushed aside the other dropped items and reached for the ring.
-You have acquired the Ring of Stun.
“Oh…?”
After confirming the ring’s name in the item acquisition message, Ming Hu picked up the remaining items and checked the ring’s options.

Limitations: None
Magic Defense: 100
50% Stun Immunity
On hit, has a 50% chance to Stun enemies that attack you for 5 seconds.
The ring was painstakingly crafted by an ancient wizard and is of great artistic value.
“…Huh?”
After checking the ring’s options, Ming Hu momentarily wondered if his eyes were mistaken.
non-non-non-non
He rubbed his eyes and checked the ring’s options again, but they hadn’t changed, and a smile slowly began to form at the corners of his mouth.
“Awesome!”
Whether it’s the stun immunity or the 50% chance to stun enemies for 5 seconds on hit, a unique is a unique is a unique, and once I realized that, I immediately equipped the ring.
“All we need is this… and we’re good for tailing.”
Ming Hu was always worried about tail attacks, but now he doesn’t have to be. His stun immunity has been increased by 50% and his stun time has been cut in half, meaning that if he was stunned for 2 seconds, he will now be stunned for 1 second, which means he only needs to take 2 hits from 4 paw attacks instead of 2.
“Plus, there’s the option to take a hit…”
The ring had an amazing option that had a 50% chance to stun enemies that attacked you for 5 seconds. The duration of the stun varied based on stun immunity, but unless you had 100% stun immunity, it meant you would be stunned for any amount of time.
“Would three or four be okay?”
Ming Hu thought about it. The stun time was reduced, and it could be reversed.
“Hmm.”
But in the end, he could only shake his head, for he had no idea what the monster fox’s tolerance to stun was.
“I’ll have to experiment. If my tolerance is low enough. Hmph.”
Ming Hu smiled wickedly as he decided to find the monster fox and conduct an experiment. He opened the character window.

“…”
Checking his character window, Ming Hu was speechless. It wasn’t because he was over seven thousand strong.
“It’s 16 up…that’s going up too fast.”
His level was rising so quickly and easily that other players would froth at the mouth if they knew, but rising quickly and easily wasn’t a bad thing, so Ming Hu soon smiled and invested all 160 of his bonus stats into power.

“Hmm. It’ll be over 10,000 degrees soon.”
Ming Hu muttered to himself as he looked at his strength, which had risen by 1600. At this rate, he would soon surpass 10,000.
“Let’s go!”
Ming Hu closed the character window and began to walk away.
Sigh
As he paced, Ming Hu looked at his hands. They were hidden by the knuckles of his cold scream, but the thought of the Stun Ring made his hands clench.
“Why don’t we just go to where the three are and experiment right away?”
After some time and thought, I realized that three would be no problem. After taking out the first one with a single blow and realizing that it wouldn’t be too risky to experiment with options against the second, Myung-Hoo left the clearing and started walking around looking for another clearing.
Squeak
“…!
Just then, as Ming Hu was searching through the bush for a clearing, the sound of shaking bushes behind him made him stop and turn around.
Squeak
-khee hee hee?
Ming Hu smiled at the monster fox that soon came into view. The monster fox, perhaps angered by Chapter’s smile, quickly rushed forward and swung its front paws at him.
Puck!
The front paw struck. But the option didn’t trigger, and the monster fox swung its forepaws again and again, and Ming Hu stared at them as they flew toward him.
Puck!
The moment the first left forepaw struck Ming Hu, the monster fox froze in place, as if time had stopped, poised to swing its forepaws. The option popped. Ming Hu looked at the stunned fox and counted the seconds in his mind.
