“It’s very nice to see you again. You’ve…… survived well.”


  Hearing Sungjin speak, Baltren respectfully replied,

  “That time, the Heroic club you’d given me at a very low price allowed me to get through the early Chapters without much trouble. Of course, as the time passed the raids became more difficult…… but thanks to the club I was able to get much higher contribution points in the starting Chapters, which greatly helped me survive. It’s all thanks to you I was able to make it this far.”


  In response to Baltren’s thanks,

  “No, you should give thanks to your leadership and decision-making abilities,” said Sungjin humbly. But he did feel that Baltren was also somewhat right in saying that.

  From his experience, in the starting chapters Heroic tier items would drop only if the Hidden Boss was killed and the raid reached 100% completion, and even then it would only drop for the hunters who managed to obtain a minimum of 20~30% in raid contribution. So out of 100 points total, the hunter would have to have 20 to 30 points at the very least; it would be difficult for any brand new hunter, who was busy trying to adjust to his circumstances, to achieve such a result.

  Even if someone were to monopolize everything (more specifically if everyone else in his team had all died in the raid), the Hunters who didn’t yet have a clear understanding of how Rewards were calculated would probably avoid going out of their way to seek out more monsters. So obtaining a Heroic level item from Sungjin at Chapter 1 was a major blessing. Just by having the exceptional weapon, he had started off a few steps ahead of others.

  Baltren suddenly scratched his head and apologized,

  “I’m sorry, but……”


  Sungjin looked confused.

  “I sold the club to the weapons shop when I found something better,” Baltren said.
