My Range is One Million

Chapter 56: Justin Point

Everyone besides the battle observers was rescued and everyone was dazed as they wondered why they were so late. Joonghwi and the others did show up late but after they had accepted the request, they immediately went to work.

They had saved them, even the few who fell into the water and prayed that everything would turn out okay. The monster had taken half of their trailer which limits the space that they could use. But even so, they had managed to load the monster inside their truck before they went on to prepare for their mission.

Those who survived went back to their bus and they resumed their trip towards Justin point. Six hours had passed and they made their way into its vicinity, everyone was relieved that their long dangerous trip would finally come to an end.

Their work before couldn’t be compared to what they had done over to the advanced base 716. There were a few monster scales, Kobultu scales that appeared around their area. Those monsters thrived through the underground tunnels and they have high reproduction rates, thus, a public order was given to hunt them. It was the type of monster that could be hunted without risks, that’s the reason why Justin point is the most place for beginners.

Moreover, on the north side of the base, there were rare monsters up to the fifth tier lined up for sale in case visitors shows up and if they would ever have any trouble, Korea and America could unite for a small period of time. As for what other says, It was like a hunter paradise that was currently occupied by numerous clans.

“It looks amazing.”

“Doesn’t the Kolbultu monster look cute.”

They had progressed more and more each day. There were small Kobutlu’s scurrying around the area and their hunters worked their hardest to kill it, they were admirable.

“Isn’t this like a level up heaven?”

Their experience with the oaks had helped them a lot. Hunting a Kobultu would seem worth much less but if one were to compare the two, the Kobultu was much faster and possessed powerful bites and claws. They would go wild and attack anyone who tries to get close making the oaks seem docile and easy to defeat.

“Jaehwang, are you not interested?”

“Yes.”

“It’s... interesting.”

Jaehwang said as he continued to sharpen his knife with care without giving his attention to anything else. He felt like he didn’t have a goal to be here and the dust was everywhere, almost getting in their eyes.

“...It could still be difficult to catch monsters here...”

He held up the monster’s wing with a pole that was then filled with hot air and he used that to pluck its feathers to make an arrow shaft.

“Isn’t it difficult even with two of the wing coverts?”

He plucked the feathers one by one before he turned his head towards its tail feathers which were the part that he needs the most. He disregarded the things that he didn’t need and soon enough, they heard the sound of a monster dying from a distance.

“Wow... That sound expensive...”

He looked sad for a second and then he went back to focus on gathering his feathers. A lot of them were scattered on the floor and one might be surprised that these costs a few hundred dollars per piece.

“Aren’t those features usually about 500 dollars each?”

“Yeah.”

Jeahwang finished up and gathered the feathers and the nails of the monster. These were high priced interior materials but it’s claws compared to the others that he got was very rare and expensive. Joonghwi did a great job of finishing it off when it landed but if it wasn’t for Jaehwang, things could have gotten terribly wrong.

Mingyeon was also a Gagseog and she seemed to had received positive remarks with her job recently.

Clickclick...

He took a rest from making his arrows and the spirit then asked him a question.

-Are you going to make that arrow?

-Yes.

Jaehwang made lots of special arrows during his time in the Alousu. The tail feathers he currently had were a little thicker than the ones he had before and he had taken care of the monster’s claws so he could use it for the arrowheads. He makes sure that the items that he makes were made of pure natural items to avoid failure if he ever tries to enchant it.

-Well just go to a workshop then, that’ll make things easier.

-Right. But, as a member of the hunting army, they should know about the arrows I use.

-Gosh, you sound like an old man.

Jaehwang laughed. She had a point with her suggestion since the quality of the arrows made from the workshop would be better than he was currently working on. The materials that he had now was very expensive and he figured that it would be the best time to make use of his crafting skills. His father had taught him everything he knew about arrow making so he decided to make it everything on his own.

-I didn’t know that it was this fun before you know...

It was a good way to kill time in his incredibly long bus ride and using the claws as its tip made it very strong. He didn’t need to use up much of his energy and he could cut it into any shape that he wants.

-Ha... Whatever you say. If I were to do what I wanted then... I would want to watch some drama soon...

-I know... I know...

He would usually lend her his tablet to let her watch some dramas but she can’t materialize herself when other platoon members were around.

At first, he thought that it was a waste of time and he did try to convince her to think the same way. It never worked in the end but they had reached a compromise of two hours per day.

He took out his tablet and plugged in the earphones so the spirit could watch while crafts his arrows.

-Ah... No matter how much I watch it, it’s always great.

-I know but try to keep it down a little.

-Yeah, sure, whatever.

He didn’t see anything with his head facing down so he squinted his eyes. The spirit was on his opposite side and then someone sitting close by noticed the monster’s claws.

:Woah... I could be wrong but, you have a very unique hobby. Even guys usually find this disgusting...”

Hyejin sat beside him and looked the the nails on his hand. Now, Jaehwang could see the drama but it wasn’t enough to keep him interested. Seeing every bit and pieces of the show that the spirit watched annoyed him since the character’s likes and dislikes were very much obvious.

“...”

Jaehwang never answered her and so she went over towards his seat to see the drama that distracted him. She was a woman first and a hunter second, she had liked such shows and she had really missed watching them. It turned out that it was the thing that she just needed.

Especially now that every female platoon member would blush when they look at him. To them, Jaehwang was much more interesting compared to the guys in those shows. Both of them then got distracted by the drama but they got their focus back when they heard Joonghwi speak.

“Aren’t we going to eat?”

A female platoon member was surprised by the time after she checked her watch. Three hours had already passed.

“Who’s turn is it today?”

“Uhh... Today’s turn is...”

“Yours.”

Yuri raised her hand. The girls were in charge of the cooking but that soon became an issue of gender discrimination so the guys ended up helping them to clean and prepare the platoon’s meals. They had divided their work and achieved a new level of effectiveness.

Yuri was a reliable member but her cooking skills weren’t the best. If her cooking wasn’t so bad then maybe they would accept her on her offer to cook more often but that didn’t seem to be possible.

“I’ll cook today.”

Everyone then looked over towards Jaehwang in surprise.

“Oh... You could cook?”

“Not really.”

Jaehwang said shaking his head. He wasn’t really quite sure.

“Then why?...”

“Because I want to eat, so I’ll cook.”

Joonghwi shook his head and approved of Jaehwang’s request. They weren’t excited to see his cooking abilities but he volunteered so they had to take the risk. They were hoping his skills were at least average.

“You can try it this time. Ask Yuri if you need anything...”

“Got it.”

The military bus stopped and after installing the barricades, Yuri helped him to prepare. Yuri stayed by to help when he needed it. He asked her for vegetables and she told him they were in the fridge.

“Even if you fail... I want you to know that its okay”

He reached for a pack of monster meat from out of the fridge and carefully examined it. It was a piece of the monster that had been cut off after the raid. He had no experience with cooking those kinds of meats. Yuri then went and asked him about it.

“What’s that?”

“Monster meat.”

Jaehwang then grabbed a long kitchen knife sliced it. Some parts of it were tough and hard to eat but some parts were unbelievably chewy and soft.

“Wow... Monster meat is...”

Monster meat wasn’t anything new to Yuri but one needs a license to even be able to prepare the meat of a high ranked monster. The meat could be toxic and unknowingly eating them could send someone to the hospital.

“Do you have a license?”

“No.”

“...”

Yuri became nervous after she heard Jaehwang’s answer. This was not the best place for someone to get food poisoning.

“The meat from this type of monster isn’t toxic. I’ve inspected it to be sure.”

She still felt a little anxious but she just shook her head and went along with it.

“...Okay.”

Yuri’s reaction wasn’t anything new so he moved on and started to chop the ingredients. He instantly sliced up to ten kilograms worth of food and after a clean cut, blood came out all over the cutting board.

Yuri was amazed.

“What’s the name of what you’re cooking?”

“The monster steamed seasoner.”

“Could you teach me? I have a lot to learn about cooking...”

Jaehwang then looked at her and agreed.

“I usually drain all the blood out of the meat before I cut it but we don’t have a lot of time so I’m going to do it like this. I’ll cut some gingers and garlic before I grind them to bits.

“Wow.”

Yuri stuck by his side to offer some help and learn in return. She prepared the ginger and garlic while Jaehwang went to get something from the fridge.

Jaehwang then brought something that wasn’t a formally registered. It was shaped like a weed but it was a common food here in the Alousu. He figured that it would turn the dish into something amazing, it had a rather sweet aftertaste and expects it to be quite refreshing.

He didn’t teach Yuri about this one yet since he thought that it would still be difficult.

Tatattatag... Clickclick...

He cut it up perfectly and placed it on the seasoned grill. Then he added water and sweet soy sauce after he added a Japanese apricot. They both then added the mix of ginger and garlic together.

Justin Point, The end.
