Chapter 39

“Ha… It’s finally over.”
Back in Himise through the portal, Ming Hu let out a short sigh and muttered to himself.
“Hmph.”
He smiled and opened his inventory.
“Thirty thousand…”
The inventory was filled with 30,000 gold. That wasn’t all.
“I don’t know how much Unique will sell for, but… A billion just for the gold alone!”
By buying and selling items, he earned a whopping 130,000 gold. Realizing that he didn’t need to carry that much gold, Ming Hu automatically sold 100,000 gold through an NPC in the auction house. He also put his uniques “Howling Fox” and “Black Touch of the Cunning One” up for instant auction.
“Hah, now I don’t have to worry about money, I can go crack some quests.”
Ming Hu opened the Quest window.
<Tilto's Favor1
Tilto is building something these days. But to make it, he needs the steel claws of a monster fox, which are as hard as steel. Capture the monster foxes, collect their steel claws, and bring them to Tilto!
[Monstrous Fox's Steel Claws: 0/30]
Difficulty Level: D
Quest Reward: ???, Tilto's Favor2
After confirming the quest, Ming Hu closed the quest window and smiled as he looked at the Claw Key taking up a spot in his inventory.
Jumbled
Ming Hu soon left the village and began walking toward the Great Fox's cave in the fox colony.
Jumbuck
Arriving in front of the Great Fox's Cave, Ming Hu stopped walking, glanced at the cave, and started walking again.
"What is it?"
When Ming Hu arrived at the cave, he couldn't help but wonder. At this point, the great fox should have jumped out, but it was too quiet.
Jumbled
Ming Hu continued on into the cave. It was very quiet in the cave. Only the sound of his own footsteps could be heard.
"Who caught…?"
Halfway through the cave, Ming Hu wondered if the great fox had been hunted, otherwise it wouldn't have been so quiet so far.
"But… I don't know anyone here who can…"
But this was Himise. It didn't have as many users as Demesne, so who could have caught the Great Fox? That was the moment.
Jabbering…
"…?"
Ming Hu stopped in his tracks at the sound of footsteps coming from the far end of the cave and glanced ahead. It was definitely not the footsteps of the Great Fox.
Zap…zap…zap.
"Hmm?"
The footsteps grew closer and closer, and Ming Hu was soon able to spot the two Yin Yungs, but it was dark and he couldn't tell much more than that they were two people.
"Is this a user?"
Ming Hu began to walk again.
"Huh?"
"Hmm?"
"…?"
But soon, Ming Hu was forced to stop walking again, for he knew that the two Inyoung were the ones who knew.
"You! I see you here!"
"Hello."
"…"
The two Inyoung who walked out of the cave were Wolcha and Luna.
"Are you done?"
"Yes. Done."
"Hmm, well, what about that quest I told you about?"
Ming Hu smiled at Wei Cha's question. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
"I was looking for it even if I wasn't."
"…"
In response to Ming Hu's answer, Wei Cha smiled wordlessly and extended a party invitation to Ming Hu. Ming Hu accepted the invitation and smiled at the quest sharing window that soon appeared in his field of vision.
<Gadagu's Experimental Material A
Dr. Kadugu, the village chief and doctor of Himise, is conducting various experiments. He needs many ingredients for his experiments, but it takes too much time for him to get them. Take his place and get him the ingredients he needs!
[Bear's gallbladder 0 of 50].
[The Great Fox's Inner Circle: 0/10]
[Qinglang's Liver: 0 /5]
Difficulty :E
Quest Reward: 1 Wellspring of Enchantment Potion
"Is that a potion that gives you a permanent mana boost?
According to Wolcha's words, the Wellspring of Power Potion would be a permanent mana boost. Ming Hu swallowed hard and checked the items he needed for the quest.
'The bear's gallbladder. I think it's better to live.'
Gallbladder is no longer a burden. I'd rather pay for it at the butcher shop than hunt for it.
"The Great Fox's inner circle…must be hunted.
The inner circle of the Great Fox costs 200,000 won each. While it's no longer an unaffordable amount for me, I was still concerned about spending $200 for a single quest.
'Cheng Lang's liver is…' Let's see the price.
You don't know if the beef has blue liver or not. If it didn't, you could hunt for it, and if it did, you could look at the price and decide whether to buy it or hunt for it.
"Ugh, why?"
Just then, as Myung-hoo was thinking about how to get the quest materials, he heard Wolcha's voice in his ear.
Sigh
Ming Hu lifted his head to look at Wei Qi, who was standing next to him, Luna poking him in the side, and Wei Qi was looking at Luna with an apologetic expression.
"I'm late with the introductions, this is my wife, Luna."
Wolcha then introduced Luna, who was standing next to Myung-hoo.
"Oh, hi, I'm Myung-hoo."
"Hi!"
Luna smiled brightly in response to his greeting. There was a moment of silence after the greeting, and then she spoke, the lunar gap falling exactly between them.
"I can tell from your quest materials, but do you happen to have any?"
At Wolcha's words, Ming Hu shook his head.
"I don't have one, but I'm sure I can get one soon."
"Oh? Is that so?"
The answer was so unexpected that Wolcha looked a little surprised. Ming Hu looked at Wolcha and continued.
"If it's gallbladder, they sell it at the butcher shop… and Nathan knows a place with a lot of great foxes, so we should be able to get it soon. As for Qinglang's liver… I'll have to think about it…?"
When Ming Hu finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"…"
"…"
Wolcha and Luna stare at themselves blankly.
"Are you sure?"
Wei Cha swallowed hard and said to Ming Hu. Ming Hu couldn't help but wonder at her words. What is real?
"Which one are you referring to?"
At Myung-Hoo's question, Wolcha swallowed hard again and said, "I'm sorry.
"That I know where the great foxes are plentiful."
He said something about the Great Fox. Ming Hu nodded and said.
"Yes."
"Is it close to here?"
"Yes, but I need one item."
The Gumiho Forest was very close. Of course, you won't be able to get there unless you have the Claw Key, the key to the Gumiho Forest.
"…Is that an item called a claw key?"
"Yes."
Ming Hu nodded again in response to Wei Cha's question. At Minghu's answer, Weiqi and Luna looked at each other and sighed.
"…?"
Ming Hu stared at them and shook his head, and then it dawned on him why they were reacting the way they were.
"I need 10 end tables, so I need 20… I'm waiting for regen time to get them.
There is only one Great Fox that appears in this cave. It doesn't keep coming back, and once you capture it, it takes a certain amount of time to become a Rizen. This doesn't mean that you'll get the inner circle every time you catch it. It has a high probability of appearing, but not a high enough probability to guarantee it.
"How did I get 16 of them… ha."
Ming Hu realized that he was right, and he could feel it in the way she looked at him as she muttered to herself.
"Can you tell me where it is?"
"Yes, let's go."
Ming Hu walked past Weiqi and Luna and began to walk toward the end of the cave, with Weiqi and Luna following behind him.
Bam!
"Here it is."
Arriving at the place where the keys were used some time later, Ming Hu pointed to the place where the claw keys were used and said.
"Oh."
"Ugh."
At Myung-Hoo's pointing, Wolcha and Luna let out a short sigh, their expressions filled with regret.
Sigh
Ming Hu looked at Gwenqia and Luna and pulled out a claw from his inventory. He inserted the claw key into the hole and said, "I'm going to use it.
"You can do this."
Swoosh!
Magic flowed from his claws as before, creating a portal. Ming Hu looked through the portal and saw Weiqi and Luna. Weiqia and Luna stared blankly at the portal.
"You have the claw key, right?"
Ming Hu asked Wei Cha and Luna. Without a word, Weiqia and Luna took out their claw keys.
"I'll go first."
Jumbled
After seeing Wei Cha and Luna's claw key, Ming Hu started walking toward the portal.
Siaak
Passing through the portal and arriving in the forest of Gumiho, Ming Hu smiled at the familiar sight.
"Ha… Is this the place you told me about?"
Some time later, Wei Cha, who had followed Ming Hu into the forest of Gumi Lake, asked Ming Hu. Ming Hu nodded and said, "I'll tell you what.
"Yes, but you'll have to be careful because there are a lot of big foxes around here."
In his case, he wasn't afraid of the big fox anymore. The monster foxes weren't particularly scary either, but it was different for Wolcha and Luna.
Sssssssssssss
That was the moment.
-croak?
-croak?
No sooner had he finished speaking than three great foxes came running through the bushes. When Ming Hu saw the great foxes, he recognized Wei Cha and Luna.
"…"
"…"
Weiqia and Luna stared at the great fox in wonder. As Ming Hu watched Weiqi and Luna stare at the great fox, he realized that this time he would have to catch it.
"Wow."
"Listen!"
But the sight of Luna raising her sword and Wolcha raising his giant shield forced Ming Hu to abandon that idea.
When Wolcha and Luna stared at the great foxes, it wasn't because they were scared; they were overjoyed that three of them had shown up.
"Jump on the moon car!"
"Ugh!"
Wolcha and Luna start to run toward the three big foxes.
