The Hunter System
Chapter 38 - Rufino Company
"B-bro... I-this...who exactly is the forger who made these items for us?" thomas asked with his hands still trembling after he finished checking the entire status of the raid equipment the System had made.
"I can't tell you. He asked me to keep it a secret" said Alvin, who then smiled stiffly.
["Hmmm.."]
'...'
Thomas nodded slowly. He could understand why the forger wanted to keep his identity a secret.
"She must have asked to be kept secret because she wanted to live quietly" Thomas thought. He asked it only out of curiosity after seeing the quality of the products made by the forger and it did not matter if the forger did not want to be known.
And again, he does not need to know because Alvin has said that the forger will always make products for their company.
Although Thomas actually misunderstood, but what he thought was not entirely wrong. People with such abilities will certainly be highly sought after by many hunters to be able to make equipment with special orders.
Thomas then looked at an initial engraving that was at the bottom of each blade of the sword and spear, as well as at the inside of all sets of armor that read 'Mina'.
'What is this initials forging name?'
Alvin followed Thomas's gaze, then asked System. He was also curious about the initials of the name.
'What's your name?'
["I carved it just so that your company's products have good selling points. It would be great if a handmade product had the initials of the manufacturer's name."]
'so... I thought it was your name. But, what if from now on I call you Mina?'
["..."]
Alvin and the Hunter System : "..." [".."]
'Rimi likes it sometimes, right?'
.........
"Well, I've fulfilled my promise. I'm leaving now" Alvin told Thomas, who was still staring at the name engraving on a mantis-skin armor.
"W-what? What about the prices?"
"You're the marketing manager, right? Arrange as you please as long as it can make a good profit for us."
Alvin immediately left Thomas after he said goodbye once again.
He finally returned to the Dungeon after 3 days busy taking care of the management system of the company he founded.
However, on the sidelines of his busy life, he still continues to carry out daily, weekly and monthly quests to strengthen his passive status.
......................
Alvin, Raymond and six other hunters who have signed contracts as a team of monster corpse transporters and magic crystal miners finally arrive at a location that Alvin knows will be a gate.
This was the first time they had worked together officially after signing a contract.
They arrive there with 6 company-owned transport trucks driven by six contract hunters, while Alvin and Raymond drive their company SUV.
"Bro, where's the gate?" raymond asked puzzled when he saw nothing as they had arrived at the location that the car navigation showed.
"Look on the left" said Alvin, pressing a button on the transparent screen in front of him.
Raymond turned his head in that direction but found no gate there either, while Alvin was out of the SUV.
He immediately went down and ran after Alvin.
"In ma... Woo-wwww!!!"
Alvin and Raymond were both shocked when they saw a black magic circle that then formed a Dungeon gate suddenly appear before him. But Alvin could quickly hide his surprise.
"W-what...? How can."
"Let's go in" said Alvin without regard to the shock of Raymond and the six miners' hunters who were still glaring and gaping wide when they saw the Dungeon gate that had suddenly appeared before them.
.........
After they were all inside the Dungeon, Alvin closed the gates again.
That of course made everyone who was still recovering from their shock, back in shock. They thought that they were trapped inside the Dungeon like Miranda and her comrades.
"Don't worry. I'll open the gate again when we're out" Alvin said. He could capture the fear of his comrades from their faces.
Alvin then took a drawing book that he had provided, then drew a map of the Dungeon with the help of the System.
"Bro! How can you do that?"
"But..."
"..."
"h-huh. I'm sorry..."
"This is the map. You guys mine first the magic crystals while I hunt the monsters."
.........
Alvin had already completed the raid even faster than his comrades mining magic crystals throughout the mining sites within the Dungeon.
Having a very good status, of course, it was not difficult for him to do again to finish off all the monsters in the D-level Dungeon, even though he did it without poison skills at all.
In addition to wanting to train his fighting techniques using Warrior and Assassin jobs, the System also forbade Alvin from using poison skills if his opponent did not make him very troubled.
Poison skill will make all the corpses infected with poison which will later make the system hassle neutralizing it. The poisons should not be left behind at all in the corpses of monsters, as it would be very bad for the hunters who would later buy raid equipment from their company.
.........
Raymond and the six hunter miners also finally understood why their contract value was so high.
During these two whole weeks, he finally knew that the value of the contract was really in line with the fatigue they had experienced after Alvin took them away to the 3 Dungeons every day, without a day off.
The relentless raid also made their storage depot very full and the System had to go the extra mile to skin the corpses of the monsters, sort out the bones and flesh, and the system had to go the extra mile to skin the corpses, also forging the raid gear that Alvin needed for his company.
.........
"Why doesn't Rimi give me the main quest again?" alvin asked the System, as he was checking his status.
["You must reach level 61 first to obtain the main quest. Rimi will adjust your abilities before giving you a main quest."]
Alvin nodded slowly. He recalled the level of difficulty he faced with each main quest.
"The next main quest will definitely be harder if I have to wait until level 61, right?"
["Look at it later,"] said the System who then chuckled. ["Focus just level you up with Dungeons from the gate identification map."]
"I know that. But.., the accumulated experience point was a bit slow because the Dungeons were only C-ranked down," Alvin complained.
The last time he did a quest from Rimi, he was already at level 55 and now he is only at level 59 despite having done a raid for 2 full weeks.
["That's great, right? You can take your warehouse down before we're gonna take it seriously."]
"Work seriously? What kind of job do you mean?"
["You'll know later. That's why we came from the future. You think we came just to help you get rich?"]
"..."
Alvin could have realized that. It's just, he didn't want to ask. He knew that it was impossible for a system as advanced as the Hunting System and the Intelligence System to be sent to the past just to play around. They must have had a goal and Alvin guessed that it was a big thing and probably very dangerous.
Alvin just wants to enjoy the process first before doing the work he has to do with the System later.
.........
"You're daydreaming?" vina asked, when she saw Alvin looked pensive while staring at the freezing room where the corpses of monsters were piling up.
"No. I'm just thinking it looks like we have to find a bigger place for storage" Alvin said. He was thinking about it before talking to the system that was working in the inventory.
Vina laughed a little hearing that.
"You're an adult, aren't you? You can already think about the company." said Vina who finally laughed again after ending her sentence.
"Tsk... I'm 25 years old, okay? And I'm only 2 years younger than you."
"Oh, maturity is not about age. A few months ago you didn't even think about your future properly. Didn't you notice?"
Alvin grunted in annoyance. He did not respond to that speech. He actually always thought about his future very seriously to become a professional hunter. It was just that, he had no power whatsoever at the time other than determination and continued to work hard despite the many insults that hit him almost every day.
"By the way, why did you choose Rufino's name as the company's name?" ask Alvin.
He was a bit confused when he found out his brother finally used their surname as a company name, while they had previously discussed that they would not use initials, let alone surnames as company names to avoid their existence known to the Lewis family.
"After I thought, it was a name that the Lewis family would not have guessed. With his arrogance, Norman Lewis certainly wouldn't have thought our Rufino company was the company of the same person he was looking for."
Alvin nodded small.
"You're right..."
