The Skill Maker

Chapter 117

“Anyways, you guys are the only clan that managed to clear the colorful portal . ”

Kim Yoo-Na looked over at Hyun-Soo .

Hyun-Soo also looked at Kim Yoo-Na when he felt her looking at him .

An odd feeling that he couldn’t quite describe enveloped him .

“More people will try to work with you guys and I’ll get even busier…hm…and now we’re back to where we started . ”

“Stop complaining, Mr . Herhim . I have a hard time believing that you get tired . ”

Was that a good thing?

When Herhim intercepted, the odd feeling that he felt between him and Kim Yoo-Na completely disappeared .

After that, they made small talk .

Kim Yoo-Na made a “That’s understandable” face and listened to Herhim .

And then, Herhim focused all of his attention on Riri .

‘I’m sure he told me to come because he wanted to see Riri . ’

Herhim stated a different reason, but Hyun-Soo was sure that Riri was the reason .

After they finished talking, Herhim approached Hyun-Soo while him and Kim Yoo-Na were getting up .

He looked inside Hyun-Soo’s hood with a disappointed look and then spoke to him .

“Jeez, these rumors . It looks like you did that on purpose, so would it be okay if I help you out?”

“That’ll be great . ”

If Herhim gets involved, things will work faster . A more detailed rumor will spread .

This was exactly what Hyun-Soo wanted .

A large treasure will definitely attract moths .

But it was hard to tell whether they were an ally or a foe .

One thing he was sure of was that those moths couldn’t become allies .

He would gladly welcome them with open arms if he could filter out the foes .

On top of that, he’ll be able to see who’s side they were on .

“Then, leave it to me . I won’t let you down . ”

Herhim extended his hand out .

Hyun-Soo smiled while shaking his hand .

He smiled brightly .

***

Being the only clan to clear the colorful portal was an amazing thing .

In many ways, things have become chaotic inside and outside of the clan .

“Ack, there’s too many . I really don’t like this . ”

The members complained while imagining a quiet life .

“It’s uncomfortable…… . ”

Another member complained while the cafeteria was being invaded .

“I feel like a caged animal at a zoo . ”

Just from her looks, Katrina looked younger than 20-years-old, but she put her head down and released a sigh .

“There’s nothing we can do . This is the price that we have to pay for becoming famous, so just endure a bit longer . ”

Eugene comforted the members that escaped to the Center Room to get away from the guests .

They had no choice but to reveal a section of the base .

It seemed like the members didn’t even like that because they didn’t look that happy .

“Endure it?”

Katrina stood up as if she was asking how she was supposed to endure it .

“What are you going to do if you don’t?”

“We need to build a different space for them! Our base is precious! We have to protect it!”

Katrina blurted it out out of anger, but someone else agreed .

“Oh, that’s a good idea . We have some land left anyways . ”

“Right . We have the land we took from that old man . ”

They had a really big land .

They were using part of the land as an airstrip, but it was pretty far from the base .

Everyone’s eyes widened when they recalled the empty land between the airstrip and the base .

“Do you think Yoo-Na will agree?”

“I don’t know . Let’s just try it . ”

“Yeah, our mental health is important! Maintaining a good condition is the most important and we can’t do that with all these people . ”

And moments later, the discussion to build a new building was over .

Hyun-Soo slightly lost his sense of reality while watching them .

‘They’re just showing off their money…… . ’

That’s what it sounded like from his point of view .

Honestly, there were a lot of people .

There were people trying to make a good impression and guilds that came to propose an alliance .

It did feel like the number of visitors increased .

But if that was the level of their strength, then it wasn’t all that bad .

‘Yeah, this is a pretty bourgeois clan . ’

A ranked hunters were equivalent to a one-man company .

The amount they spent was well over the amount that Hyun-Soo assumed .

Hyun-Soo was almost the same level as them, but it was still difficult for him to take it in .

Hyun-Soo has been saving up by selling potions and from the reward money the clan received through the hunts, but he still had a long way to go .

“If we start now, when will it finish?”

“I don’t know . The more money we spend, the faster it’ll finish . ”

“Then we won’t have to endure this situation for much longer . ”

It was obvious that they were going to spend money without any hesitation . The rich were on a different level .

“I hope they finish the airstrip soon . No matter how much money we spend, there are limitations with that one, so…”

Hyun-Soo didn’t know that they’ve been wanting this for a long time .

The airstrip was still under construction .

He’s seen them display a satisfied smile whenever they heard that the airstrip was coming along fine .

“I’m sure thing swill become comfortable once it’s finished . ”

“Of course . Once we have an alliance, they’ll be visiting often and it’s a hassle for them to constantly be at the airport . It’ll be better if they just fly out from here . ”

The members looked proud .

They were now looking at Hyun-Soo .

They were able to obtain the land for the airstrip because of Hyun-Soo .

If Hyun-Soo didn’t guide them through the seven doors, they probably would’ve still been stuck in that maze .

“Hyon-Ssoo, hide well, okay?”

“Yeah, yeah . ”

“We can’t let someone steal the clan’s lucky charm, so hide well . ”

Katrina patted his shoulder as if she was comforting a child .

Hyun-Soo thought she was being ridiculous, but just let it go .

She probably just as annoyed as the others about the guests .

‘I think Mr . Herhim involvement worked out really well . ’

He didn’t know why, but there were people that asked for Hyun-Soo .

Why?

Hyun-Soo was curious, but before he could find out, the members kidnapped him and dragged him to the Center Room .

‘Maybe the information was leaked elsewhere…’

If it wasn’t the black market, then there was only one other place .

Clan Xeon .

‘Hm…… . ’

Hyun-Soo thought for a moment .

He predicted on how things were going to turn out .

After making a few predictions, Hyun-Soo carefully reviewed those predictions .

‘Not bad . ’

Having leaked information was a part of his plan .

In the end, this was proof that things were working out like he had planned .

“It would be nice if the building was finished on the same day the guests arrives . ”

“I think that’ll be hard, but…let’s use more money . ”

“Yeah, let’s do that . ”

The quiet base was now filled with people and the members were annoyed by that .

But in a few days, people that received official invitations were going to visit the base .

It was like a press conference to reveal the information, but it was technically an invitation .

There was a good chance that everyone was coming for different reasons, so they’ll probably stay for more than two days .

There was a reason the members were reacting this way .

The base was big and grandeur and the space inside was spacious as well .

There was plenty of room for the guests .

But they didn’t like the fact that outsiders were invading their comfort zone .

‘Well…it’s not that I can’t understand them . They’re not just ordinary guests . They’re like hyenas that’s trying to gain something from the visit . ’

There probably weren’t going to be a lot of guests that visits just for information .

The clan used to be a small group and was hidden from the others .

There were several people that wanted the clan’s power .

‘I wonder . ’

Hyun-Soo was already excited .

***

Kyuuuu .

Riri flew up . She must’ve been having fun because she sounded happy .

The reason was simple .

“Is that……?”

“Oh my . It was true . ”

“I heard about it, but didn’t think it was true…… . ”

It’s because most of the people were looking at Riri .

‘I think she actually enjoys the attention . ’

Is it because she’s still young?

She was like a child that wanted attention and compliments .

It’s only been a few months since she hatched out of the egg .

‘But do monsters have the same growth rate as humans?’

It didn’t seem that way, but since he didn’t know anything, he couldn’t say anything .

That’s probably why Riri was being treated with importance .

Because they’ll be able to research the monsters more deeply .

But to Hyun-Soo, Riri was an annoying being that never left his side .

Kyuuuuu .

Riri caught the attention of the guests as she flew around the base .

At first, she refused to leave Hyun-Soo’s side, but now, she was really enjoying it .

“Cute…… . ”

“I want to raise one too . ”

A small smile appeared on Hyun-Soo face when he saw their reaction .

It was what he wanted .

Riri was a one of a kind in the entire world . Of course there were going to be a lot of people that wanted her .

Hiding a rare treasure wasn’t a bad idea, but revealing it to everyone was a good method too .

A lot of people will look and because of that, they won’t be able to act carelessly .

‘I can filter out the enemies . ’

Riri was the only monster in the world that has been trained .

Everyone would be envious .

But that didn’t mean that they were going to act fairly to get her .

‘I’ll know if I keep an eye out . ’

Hunters from all over the world gathered to get information .

There were a lot of people that Hyun-Soo was concerned about .

There were high-ranked hunters that were invited based on their personal success, but most of them were from guilds or groups .

Hyun-Soo watched them closely .

Kyuuuuuu, kyuuuu!

Riri flew as if she was going to approach the hunters, but just flew past them .

Of course everyone was going to look at Riri .

Hyun-Soo just stood still and watched them .

***

“I don’t like that there’s too many people…”

“Ugh, I think I’m going to vomit . ”

The same conversation from a few days ago came up again .

The construction that they poured their money into had its limitations, so it hasn’t been finished .

However, the construction was almost done . It was a culture shock to Hyun-Soo .

But the members next to him were actually complaining about it .

“Why is it taking 12 days to finish it?”

Katrina mumbled while making a crying face .

Out of all the members that put their money into this construction, Katrina paid the most .

Since the FE Clan was a small, hidden clan, not many people knew about the members, so the hunters assumed that Katrina was a local .

They must’ve thought she was cute because she was standing between guys with large frames .

But Katrina was busy complaining and running away from the guests .

“Oh, Hyon-Ssoo, have you heard?”
