I Got A Legendary Sniper Rifle - GLSR Chapter 15 (Part 1)

The next day.

Lee Hyun visited a hunter supply shop located quite far from his home.

There were shops closer by, but he didn’t want to risk exposing his location, and this one was also larger in scale.

‘Ever since I cleared the Gaechun Intersection Gate, there’s definitely been an increase in people around my neighborhood.’

After news spread that the gate at Gaechun Intersection was cleared in a One Shot—

People began treating Gaechun-dong like some sort of holy site.

Not only was there the “Gaechun Challenge,” where people took certification photos at the intersection and posted them on social media—

There were even shady individuals wandering around Gaechun-dong claiming they’d find the One Shot no matter what.

Of course, it made no sense—how would they find One Shot if they didn’t even know how he looked?

Regardless, the creepy atmosphere drove Lee Hyun to walk all the way to a different district.

On the way, he cashed in about half of the F-grade Mana Stones he’d been collecting.

Roughly 1.2 million won worth.

Thanks to a few inflated sales using his S+ grade perk, he had a lot of Mana Stones, but if he sold all of them, it might draw suspicion.

‘I’ve only been a hunter for about two weeks. If I sell over forty Mana Stones, it’s going to look strange.’

There was a need to pace himself.

Later on, once he starts regularly hunting monsters, low-grade Mana Stones would appear frequently anyway. In time, he’d be able to sell them without drawing attention.

Still, this was already a significant step.

This was income substantial enough that he could confidently tell his parents that he’s working.

And it would only grow from here—certainly not shrink.

Ding—

As he opened the door to the hunter supply shop, a bell rang out clearly.

“Welcome!”

The store clerks inside greeted him as they saw him enter.

The cheapest items were displayed at the outermost area, with more expensive and higher-quality gear showcased further in.

‘Heavy armor will just get in the way anyway. I’ll just put together something basic with the cheap stuff.’

Just as he’d planned, Lee Hyun examined the goods displayed at the front.

They definitely looked a bit crude, but they didn’t seem like they’d be a problem.

Better than standard military gear, at least.

And while these were considered “cheap” for hunter gear, they still cost hundreds of thousands of won apiece.

According to rumor, hunters who awakened while in the military trembled as they put this stuff on…

Lee Hyun was shaking too—after all, he was pouring his severance pay into this.

He picked out arm, thigh, and shin guards, a vest that looked like body armor, a helmet styled like a hat, and a lightweight dagger.

The typical beginner assassin set.

‘Well, the dagger should come in handy at least.’

Lee Hyun nodded in satisfaction as he held the dagger, finding its grip reasonably comfortable.

The blade and handle were definitely better than the greatsword he used in the military.

Guess that’s the worth of money.

It would’ve been even better if he could mount it under his Mana Rifle.

At any rate, it was a painful expense—but not wasteful.

This much gear was necessary to avoid suspicious stares on the public floors.

He headed to the counter with his selected equipment.

The employee behind the counter saw what he was carrying and smiled brightly, nodding.

“Wow, congratulations~ Looks like you recently awakened as a hunter!”

To anyone watching, it was clearly a gear set bought with excitement before entering the Tower for the first time.

Of course, wealthy hunters start with far more expensive gear, but for everyone else, this was pretty standard.

And once you actually start climbing the Tower, it’s normal to upgrade over time.

Lee Hyun flinched slightly but gave an awkward nod.

“Yes, well… that’s right.”

‘It hasn’t been long, after all.’

It was definitely too soon to say he’d been at it for a while.

The employee, nodding and smiling, began scanning the items.

Prices quickly surpassed the hundred-thousand mark and were now stacking up in the millions.

‘Whew. Without my severance pay, this would’ve been impossible.’

Before long, the employee beamed.

“The total comes to 5.3 million won!”

“……”

“We also offer installment plans!”

“……No, that’s okay. I’ll pay in full.”

Lee Hyun politely declined the clerk’s kind offer.

It’s not like he was short on money right now—no need to pay interest.

“Do you also buy items here?”

“Yes! We do item purchases! What would you like to sell?”

Since the store catered to hunters, it also bought their items.

It offered slightly lower prices than formal vendors, but the quick turnaround and immediate cash made it worthwhile for many.

The clerk wasn’t expecting much.

A freshly awakened hunter—maybe he brought some goblin bones?

Many people cleared the first floor with borrowed gear or received support items from other hunters.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyun, staring blankly at the number “5.4 million,” pulled something out of his inventory and placed it on the counter.

Thud—!

“???????”

The employee’s eyes bulged at the grotesque object slammed onto the counter.

Not just its horrifying appearance—but its sheer size left her breathless.

“Wh-what is this…???”

“Oh, that’s the Berserker Goblin’s Greatsword.”

“O-oh, I see!”

The item’s identity was no small matter.

Why did a Berserker Goblin’s Greatsword—said to rarely drop on the 10th floor—come from this guy?

Who would just casually give away something like this to sell?

‘T-that can’t be right!’

At least, the clerk had never seen it happen before.

Items like that were expensive and rare enough that hunters often kept them as trophies.
