Chapter 40

A cubicle. Four men were sitting around a table, facing each other, talking.
“When do we start?”
“Can we not start?”
“I think that might work.”
“…”
The three men said nothing, watching the man who listened in silence.
“Huh.”
Just then, the man who had been listening wordlessly let out a sigh. The three men who had been watching flinched and focused their gaze on him.
“Hang in there, the ship will come in soon enough. And build up your strength. You can’t keep it as you are.”
“…Yeah.”
“Okay.”
“Uh.”
The three men, who had been paying close attention to the man’s words, swallowed hard and replied.
“Well, that’s it for today’s meeting!”
Sigh
Hearing the answer, he stood up and walked out of the room.
“…”
“…”
“…”
As the man left, the men in the room began to look at each other and sneer.
“What do you guys think?”
The first to break the silence was the largest of the men.
“What?”
“…?”
The two men looked at the man with puzzled eyes and asked, “What is it?” The man opened his mouth with a frustrated expression on his face and said, “What is it?
“What the Kaiser said.”
“You mean it’s not time to start yet?”
“You want me to wait a bit?”
“…after”
After listening to the two men, he shook his head and sighed.
“You idiots, how much is the Kaiser making now?”
At his words, the two men looked at each other’s faces, shook their heads among themselves, and then looked back at him.
“I make 50,000 gold a day.”
“Yes! 50,000 gold a day!”
When she got the answer she wanted, she smiled broadly and continued.
“But the Kaiser just told us that we can earn a ship if we wait a while, and that means 100,000 gold a day, not 50,000 gold a day. And I told you to build up our strength, we’re not going to be able to defend it as we are!”
“Right.”
“So what’s your point?”
At the two men’s words, the man smiled and rose from his seat.
“Let’s go hunting.”

-Crack!
-Crunch!
-Crack!!!
-Crunch!
Four great foxes surrounded Ming Hu, roaring. There was no one else around. Weiqia and Luna went to the village first because of the time.
“I think he’s going to run first.
Ming Hu was looking at the great foxes and thinking about how to catch them. To be honest, it wasn’t much of a thought, since he only had to attack them once.
-Crunch!
A great fox roared and began to run toward Ming Hu.
-Crack!
-Crunch!
-Crack!!!
Was the roar a signal? The rest of the great foxes began to charge toward Ming Hu in unison. Ming Hu smiled as he saw them rushing toward him, and he broke into a run, running toward the one closest to him and punching it.
Puck!
-Crawl…
Sigh
The great fox stopped dead in its tracks after being struck by Ming Hu’s fist. Seeing that the great fox had stopped, Ming Hu quickly turned around.
whisk
As he turned around, he heard the sound of a falling body behind him. Ming Hu rushed toward the remaining Great Foxes that had arrived nearby and began punching them.
Puck! Puck! Puck!
All of the great foxes that were struck by the punch stopped in their tracks and began to fall in the order in which they were struck.
“Hmmm, I guess experience doesn’t suck anymore.”
I caught quite a few and never got the level up message.
“Yeah, but I can’t even get a few kills on a monster fox.”
Jumbled
Ming Hu began to rummage through the carcass of the fallen Great Fox, and then, with a bright smile on his face, he began to claim the dropped items.
-You have acquired the pelt of the Great Fox.
-You have mastered the Order of the Great Fox.
.
.
.
-You have mastered the Order of the Great Fox.
“Now 18!”
There are 18 of them, including the one you just acquired.
“Let’s just collect the next two.”
The number of eunuchs required for the quest is 10. However, given that this is a recurring quest, Myung-Hoo decides that it’s not a bad idea to start collecting the eunuchs now, so he decides to collect 20.
Jumbled
Ming Hu started walking again in search of the Great Fox.
-croak…?
-croak?
Soon afterward, Ming Hu was able to reach a clearing. There were three great foxes roaming around in the clearing.
Dada dada dada dada!
Ming Hu rushed toward the Great Fox and threw a punch at him.
Puck!
-Crawl…
The great fox, struck by the fist, died instantly.
Sigh
Ming Hu quickly turned his gaze to the two remaining Great Foxes.
-croak
Dada dada dada!
A great fox roared and ran toward Ming Hu.
Wham!
The great fox’s front paws flew out. Of course, Ming Hu didn’t dodge. The Great Fox’s attacks were so ticklish that he could be hit a thousand times and not die.
Puck!
-Crawl…
whisk
The Great Fox, who had just struck Ming Hu with his forepaw and was preparing for his next attack, was killed by Ming Hu’s fist, which came in just as he was preparing to strike again.
“…Hmm?”
When Ming Hu saw what was left of the Great Fox, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
-k..lung..
A great fox stood still, pondering. It seemed to be deciding whether to approach or flee.
“…Hmm.
Once a tiger fox has gotten away, its speed is tremendous. If the Great Fox escaped, Ming Hu would be unable to catch it.
Jeez.
-k…ugh!
Just in case, Ming Hu took a step toward the great fox, who quickly took a step backward in surprise.
“…”
Ming Hu thought for a moment, then turned and walked back to the bushes.
-croak? (What is it?)
The Great Fox was puzzled when Ming Hu, who had been walking toward him, suddenly turned around and went into the bushes.
-Crrrr. Krrr (Thank goodness, but… black.)
The Great Fox began to pace toward his fallen kin.
-Crawl. Krrrrr. Crouch!!! (Again, toot toot, I’m sorry, I’m determined, I’m going to avenge you!!!)
Soon, arriving at the carcasses of his friends Toto and Tutu, the great foxes roared in a low voice. It was then.
Sigh
The swarm flinched at the sound of something moving in the bushes, then looked toward the source of the sound.
“I was going to go back.”
The herd swallowed hard at the sight of Ming Hu emerging from the bushes.
-크..크르릉.. (도, 도망쳐야 돼.)
The swarm started to back away, but its legs weren’t moving properly.
“Where are you going to run!”
Ming Hu charged at the swarm, who closed their eyes as the fists flew toward them.
Puck!
Shake.
The swarm fell and Ming Hu quickly began circling the carcasses of the Great Foxes, collecting the dropped items.
-You have acquired the pelt of the Great Fox.
-You have mastered the Order of the Great Fox.
.
.
-You have mastered the Order of the Great Fox.
“Done!”
When Ming Hu had gathered all twenty eunuchs, he exclaimed aloud, and then he closed his inventory, looked into the forest, and pondered for a moment.
“Why don’t we go catch a monster fox while we’re at it?”
A little further on, the monster fox begins to appear.
“Let’s grab some armor to experiment with as well!”
As Ming Hu pondered what to do, he eventually started walking toward the center of the forest.
Jumbled.
After walking for a while into the forest, Ming Hu soon came upon a clearing and stopped, looking into it.
“Four…
There were a total of four monster foxes in the clearing. Two were sleeping and two were hanging around.
“Shall we go?”
Ming Hu stepped into the clearing. As he entered, two monster foxes spotted him.
-Chew!
-Chew!
Upon discovering Ming Hu, the two monster foxes used their roars to wake up the two sleeping monster foxes, who then began to charge at Ming Hu.
“…”
Ming Hu watched the monster fox rush toward him and stood still, waiting for it to attack.
Whiz! Puck!
The monster fox’s front paw then slammed into the left side of Ming Hu’s body. Ming Hu quickly checked his health after being attacked by the monster fox.
“…!
After checking his health, Ming Hu was surprised to see that it had been reduced.
