All Stat Slayer - A.S.S Chapter 42 (part 2): Season 1: Preparation

Lately, Hyun-seok has continuously felt that the Slayer world exhibits a strong tendency for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. Strong Slayers slay stronger monsters and rapidly become stronger, while weak Slayers slay weaker monsters and experience slower growth. And this trend will only become more prominent. Perhaps the phrase “the strong get stronger, the weak get weaker” might be more fitting than “the rich get richer, the poor get poorer,” but in any case, Hyun-seok is a typical example of the rich getting richer. With stats that exceed the standard, he is a representative case of becoming significantly stronger by accumulating achievements in a short period.

Even if the daily Monsters were to attack Hyun-seok relentlessly, his health points (H/P) would not decrease significantly. That’s because the difference in power is so substantial. In the future, there could be such a significant difference in rankings between Slayers from other countries and Korean Slayers. In that sense, it may not be a loss but rather an advantage to remain in the Korean Union from the very beginning. Of course, there is no guarantee that it will result in immediate loss or that it will definitely happen in the future, but that’s the idea.

By the way, Hyun-seok discussed this issue with his father, Sek-won. He only mentioned the facts that were already revealed, excluding the fact that he is a Platinum Slayer. Sek-won, his father, actively supported the idea of Platinum Slayers staying in the Korean Union. He praised him, saying, “That’s right. As a man, you should uphold loyalty.”

Pyeong-hwa spoke up.

“But, oppa… Are you really going to quit your job?”

“Yeah.”

In reality, if it were known that a Platinum Slayer was working for Hanjeon, people would ridicule him. It would be incredible that he hadn’t resigned yet. The money he recently earned alone is an amount that ordinary people can’t even dream of. He hasn’t sold it yet, but the Green Stones he obtained from EZ Mode alone amount to several hundred.

“Oh, by the way, Pyeong-hwa. Are you managing your items well?”

Hyun-seok doesn’t need items. His entire body is a weapon and shield. The only item he ever had was ‘Sea Support.’

“That…”

“I heard something about being able to enhance items with Monster Stones.”

“Yes, there are people of that class.”

With the differentiation of classes, a class that enhances items has emerged. Of course, it is not a highly acclaimed class. To enhance items, you need Monster Stones of White Stone or higher quality, but finding such Monster Stones is not easy. The situation is slightly better with White Stones. However, at the current level of enhancement-class Slayers, they need Green Stones to achieve proper upgrades.

No matter how high the level of Slayers has become, the number of Green Stones that drop in a day is barely a hundred or so. Even considering the continuous demand in various fields such as medicine and industry, a hundred is an extremely limited supply. If sold to the government, they would be worth 130 million won, but these days, illegal routes have become quite active, and transactions for 150 million won are not uncommon. It would be a tremendous loss to entrust items to someone who claims to be an “enhancement Slayer” and risks being scammed.

In fact, there have been cases reported in the news of individuals claiming to be enhancement-class Slayers and running away with a few Green Stones. Since each Green Stone is worth 150 million won, even if someone managed to buy a few, it would result in a tremendous profit (?).

“Well… It seems like those people of that class have gathered and opened a store. They must be trustworthy because they have a lot of reservations.”

“I see. It’s not a bad business model. It’s not dangerous, and as they work, they can improve their skill levels through repetition.”

He thought it was a decent business. By accepting commissions and working while improving their skill levels, it was a win-win situation.

Hyun-seok was enjoying a relatively peaceful afternoon with a slight affection. He had conversations with Pyeong-hwa about various topics they hadn’t discussed before, and every time Hyun-seok spoke, Pyeong-hwa covered her mouth and burst into laughter, sometimes loudly and sometimes softly.

“Why do you muffle your laughter and pretend to be coy when you could just laugh out loud?”

“I-I’m not doing that.”

Hyun-seok retorted in a slightly impatient tone, as if throwing it out abruptly.

“Just laugh comfortably without pretending to be coy. I think you look the prettiest when you laugh without caring about appearances.”

He was enjoying a relatively peaceful afternoon, but then a breaking news alert came in. A new monster had appeared. Generally, if it’s referred to as a normal-mode monster, it would be trolls, twin-headed trolls, or weak cyclopes that appear in dungeons. In other words, monsters with impact values of around 4,000 to 5,000 are considered standard for normal-mode.

Typically, the impact value and strength of monsters are proportionate to their size. Twin-headed orcs are slightly larger than orcs, trolls are slightly larger than twin-headed orcs, and twin-headed trolls are larger than trolls. And cyclopes are even larger than twin-headed trolls.

• Breaking News! Enormous Monster Appears!
• Giant turtle-shaped monster makes an appearance!
• Gyeongin Expressway, a den of terror! Severe congestion!
• 13 consecutive collisions on Gyeongin Expressway! 7 fatalities! 13 injuries!

A new monster appeared on Gyeongin Expressway. It was said to be incredibly colossal, reaching a size of 5 meters. Considering that the impact value and strength are proportionate to the size, it could potentially be stronger than even a cyclops.

• Slayers from all over the country flocked to hunt the monster.
• Elite Slayers from all over the country gather on Gyeongin Expressway.
• Concerns about excessive danger are growing…

And astonishing news came in once again. For some reason, Slayers continued to gather and confront the gigantic monster.

• Hundreds of Slayers engage in slaying. No casualties or injuries! A sign of successful slaying?
• Giant Monster. Can they succeed in slaying it?

Several hours passed, and more news arrived. However, this time, unlike before, the news was not favorable.
