Chapter 41

“…200?”
I couldn’t believe it.
Whiz! Puck!
Once again, the monstrous fox’s front paws struck. Ming Hu checked his shaved health.
“This is ridiculous.”
This time, 250 health was taken off, a bit more than the first time. But that was it.
“It’s just a difference in armor.
The only difference from before was the armor, and it made a huge difference.
Puck!
The late arrivals began to pounce on Ming Hu with their front paws. Ming Hu watched in disbelief as his life force was sapped by the beast foxes.
‘That’s less than one…’
Less health was lost to one enemy before armor than to four now.
Puck!
The monster fox stopped attacking. It wasn’t because she was fed up with Myung Hu’s unflinching behavior.
Sigh
Ming Hu raised his head and smiled at the stunned fox, still poised to attack. He then quickly threw a punch at the monster fox in front of him.
Puck!
-Chew!
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
The monster fox collapsed, revealing a level-up message. Ming Hu smiled at the message, then turned and punched the monster fox again.
Puck!
-Chew!
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
The monster fox, struck by the fist, died with a roar.
-Chew!
-Chew!
Just then, the two remaining monster foxes awoke from their stunned state and moved away from Ming Hu. Perhaps the sight of the dead monster foxes earlier had caused them to do so.
-Chew!
-Chew!
The two remaining monster foxes stared at Ming Hu and roared. They seemed to be talking to each other.
Sigh
When the story was over, the monster fox leaned down and prepared to pounce on Ming Hu. Ming Hu breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the monster fox. He thought it might run away, but it was not afraid.
Dada!
The crouching monster fox began to run toward Ming Hu at breakneck speed, and at the same time, the other monster fox leapt into the air.
Dada!
Ming Hu ignored the monster fox as it jumped into the air and rushed toward him, looking at the monster fox as it rushed to pick him up.
Eek! Puck!
The monster fox’s head slammed into Ming Hu’s body. Ming Hu eventually floated into thin air, just as the monster fox had intended, but with a smile on his face.
-khee hee hee…
whisk
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
Ming Hu didn’t just appear out of thin air. He punched the monster fox in the head the moment he was struck by it.
-Chew!
Wham!
Floating in the air, Ming Hu saw a giant forepaw flying toward him. It was the forepaw of the monster fox that had jumped into the air. It was going to hit him anyway. Ming Hu relaxed and watched the paw fly toward him.
Boom!
The moment he was struck by the monster fox’s front paw, Ming Hu’s body fell quickly to the ground.
Thump!
Falling to the ground with a slight thud, Ming Hu quickly rose to his feet and threw a punch at the monster fox that had fallen in front of him and was about to launch its forepaws at him again.
-Chew!
[Level Up!]
The monster fox let out a short roar as it collapsed to the ground, dead.
Sigh
Ming Hu glanced around and began circling the corpse, picking up items.
-You have acquired the hide of a monstrous fox.
-You have mastered the Steel Tail of the Monstrous Fox.
-You have acquired the hide of a monstrous fox.
.
.
-You’ve mastered the Steel Claws of the Monstrous Fox.
“Four hides, two tails, and two claws, if you sell them…”
The hide was 230 gold, the tail was 130 gold, and the claws were 140 gold.
“1460 gold, not counting the claws for the quest… 1180 gold…ha.”
When Ming Hu calculated the price, he couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh: 1180 gold for 1180 million won in cash. Even excluding the commission, it was more than 10 million won. Ming Hu still couldn’t believe how easy it was to make 10 million won.
“But it’s good, not bad.”
Ming Hu closed his inventory and opened the Character window.

“I still have to catch the monster fox.”
He leveled up seven times in no time. Ming Hu debated whether or not to take the bonus stats, but eventually closed the character window.
“Let’s go find the next one.”
Jumbled
Ming Hu started walking to find another vacant lot.
Swoosh swoosh
-Chew!
As Ming Hu walked through the bushes in search of a clearing, he smiled slightly at the roar of a monstrous fox. It sounded a little far away, but not too far.
Jumbled
Ming Hu began to walk toward the sound.
Sigh
“…!”
When Ming Hu arrives at his destination, he is dismayed to find himself in an empty lot.
-Chew!
-Chew!
.
.
.
-Chew!
There were ten monster foxes roaring and debating in the clearing. Of course, that didn’t faze me too much.
The sight of 10 monster foxes gathered together in a discussion was quite a sight to behold, but that wasn’t the only thing that baffled me.
“Really? I see.”
The reason for Ming Hu’s great panic was her, Gumiho, the woman among the monster foxes.
‘…’
Ming Hu stared at Kumihō wordlessly. Unlike when they met at the water’s edge, Kumihō was dressed.
“…ha.
Of course, the clothes didn’t take away from her figure, and with just a bit of covering, not all of it, she was even more mesmerizing than she was at the water’s edge.
“Huh? Hold on.”
Just then, Gumiho stopped the monster fox’s roar. Ming Hu felt a momentary sense of strangeness and quickly ducked.
“That’s weird.”
At the sound of Gumiho’s words, Minghu swallowed hard, then stopped and held his breath.
-Chew!
-Chew!
The monster fox roared again. Ming Hu breathed a sigh of relief and quietly raised his head to look out into the clearing again.
-khung?
“Yikes!”
However, at the sight of the monster fox’s face as soon as he raised his head, Ming Hu couldn’t help but let out a shout, and at the same time, he swung his fist at the monster fox’s face.
Puck!
-K..Hung.
[Level Up!]
The monster fox fell. Ming Hu swallowed hard and looked out into the clearing. Nine monster foxes and Gumiho were watching him.
“Holy shit!”
Suk da da da da da da!
Ming Hu quickly turned around and began to run away. He was not afraid of the nine monster foxes, but he was afraid of Kumihō. His attack had nothing to do with his armor. It was his physical defense that went up with his armor. Not magical defense.
-Chew!
Dada!
Behind Ming Hu as he fled, he heard the roar and footsteps of the monster fox. He could feel it getting closer, but that didn’t stop him, so he kept running.
-khee hee hee?
Dada!
“…”
A moment later, Ming Hu turned his head at a sound beside him. A monster fox was running at his pace, looking at him from the side, and the moment he saw it, Ming Hu realized.
“You’re on your own.”
I didn’t hear anything behind me.
Dada!
Realizing that he didn’t have to run, Ming Hu stopped running. When Ming Hu stopped, the monster fox followed suit.
-Chew!
The monster fox roared with a grin. It seemed to be laughing at Ming Hu’s escape.
“…”
Ming Hu laughed as he heard the laughing face and roar of such a monster fox.
-khee hee hee?
The monster fox shook its head at Ming Hu’s reaction, but when it saw Ming Hu’s fist coming up, it lifted its front paws and swung at him.
“Heh heh.”
Ming Hu laughed at the paw flying toward him. Then, ignoring the paw that came flying at him, he walked forward and punched the monster fox in the face.
