Both Park Ji-hoon and his familiars need to become stronger.

The method is easy.

Park Ji-hoon’s stats increase when he kills or defeats female or female-type monsters due to the effect of the female hunter skill, and his familiars become stronger simply by defeating enemies thanks to the familiars.

Then the answer is clear.

Enter the gate and kill a lot of monsters.

“And what remains in this world is the gate.”

Of course, in Korea, which has a small land mass, gates above rank A do not appear that often.

However, gates below rank B are easy to find domestically, and gates above rank are filled with weak countries that need international help.

“However, you should avoid gates where undead or death demons appear if possible. The moment the master’s identity is discovered, the Immortal King may make his move.”

“Hmm, it’s difficult.”

It would be okay as long as it wasn’t shown that Park Ji-hoon was the one who usurped Shilpa’s control.

For example, as long as he doesn’t openly bring Shilpa and go on a rampage, or take away the demons of death under the Immortal King’s command… or something like that.

However, just in case, the opinion was that it would be better to avoid gates that were likely to be related to the Immortal King.

“That’s true, but I don’t think it would be a good idea to take too much time.”

In the end, if you know that this side’s power is not as great as you think… That is, if you know that the strongest hunter is at least the level of a 4 knight or slightly stronger.

The Immortal King will definitely lead his entire army to open a special gate that cannot be measured.

Although there is an element of anxiety about Park Ji-hoon, he shouldn’t keep dragging his feet like that.

“There is a need to upgrade specs efficiently.”

Park Ji-hoon thought deeply.

Efficient spec upgrade.

Is there any way?

‘Catch all the female monsters at random?’

Honestly, that would be the best, but then Park Ji-hoon becomes stronger alone.

No matter how strong you are, it is meaningless if the forces that will fight alongside you, that is, your familiars, do not become stronger.

That’s because it’s a huge army with overwhelmingly strong individuals and corresponding power.

‘The familiars must also become stronger.’

Familiars must also participate in battles to increase their stats and rank.

However, the efficiency of a single gate is absurdly low.

‘Should I use that method in the end?’

Park Jihoon sighed deeply.

Actually, I didn’t really want to use this method.

An efficient gate processing method designed by Michael Gordon in the ‘Monster Army Project’.

Each familiar is sent to a different gate.

By doing so, you can defeat the monsters within the gate separately, improving growth efficiency, and at the same time, you can deal with dangerous gates without risking the hunters… that is, humans, as was the original purpose of the AM project.

Of course, Park Ji-hoon treats his familiars like an army and has no intention of using them as consumables to eliminate dangerous elements.

No, it was something he was reluctant to do from the beginning out of fear that something might happen to his beautiful familiars.

However, no matter how pretty it is, if you keep wrapping it around inside, it will eventually stop growing.

If you don’t grow, you will eventually be unable to deal with risks at critical moments.

So far, if it continues to be dangerous, we put it in a subspace, and Park Ji-hoon solved it all by himself.

You can’t do that forever.

In order to prepare for bigger risks, you have no choice but to take small risks.

“Yes, I have decided.”

Park Ji-hoon nodded his head firmly as if he had made a promise.

“Go to Aspace and tell all the kids to gather together.”

He decided to trust his familiars.

“So, is this how the basic team works?”

“Yes, let’s structure it like this first. After that, I will go in and adjust it myself.”

Park Ji-hoon conveyed his opinions to his familiars.

They understood Park Ji-hoon’s meaning and naturally agreed with him.

Anyway, they were Park Ji-hoon’s women and at the same time they were hunters or monsters.

These were people who were ready to work hard to achieve a higher level and stronger power.

With the help of guild master Shin Ji-yeon, the familiars were divided into teams.

Even if you could summon a servant, there were too many risk factors to let him enter the gate alone.

Two teams were created centered around Shin Ji-yeon and Chen Mei.

Shin Ji-yeon’s team consists of Shin Ji-yeon, Trene, Rouge, and Tinya.

The Chen May team consisting of Chen May, Syra, Brianna, Karr, and Serena.

Since Shilpa could have been tracked by the Immortal King if she entered the gate, she was excluded from this spec-up plan.

Although Chen Mei’s team had one more player, Shin Ji-yeon’s team was balanced by adding Trene, the strongest familiar except for Shilpa.

At this level, even if each party does not summon servants, it is a level of power that surpasses that of most B-ranked engineering teams.

Considering the summoning of servants, it will easily surpass even an A-rank party.

For reference, Park Ji-hoon decided to move alone during the spec-up plan.

Even without familiars, he can already exert S-rank level power on his own, and is even stronger than most S-ranks.

There was no need for a party, and it was decided that not having anyone would help increase the specs.

“Then everyone, be careful. For your information, there is a high probability that you will be going on a business trip abroad… probably mainly to the United States. I also talked to Uncle Gordon about everything.”

To upgrade specs, at least C rank.

There is a high probability that you will go through more gates.

However, if as many as three parties, including Park Ji-hoon, are sweeping C-rank or higher gates in Korea alone, that could be a problem.

It is already a country with a large number of hunters compared to the population, but if you monopolize even the small gates in a small area, there will be severe opposition from other guilds.

So, Michael Gordon of the United States, with whom he had a personal partnership.

And with the help of the Vietnam and China Hunter Associations, which were indebted to us, we decided to move internationally.

“Don’t get hurt. If you think it’s dangerous, run away. Got it?”

Jihoon Park gave a final request to his familiars.

“You are my servants and my force… but before that, you are my women.”

It seemed like trash since it was a statement made to a group of women, but the familiars nodded with frowning expressions as if they were moved.

“Don’t worry, senior! There is no way I would hurt pretty girls!”

“According to Zuuren’s orders.”

“Understood, Master!”

“Hehe, they say they care about us so much.”

Although they are called familiars, the party is made up of monsters.

Of course, in general terms, there was no way it would ever be accepted.

However, if the person behind it is Park Ji-hoon, it is a different story.

“Hunter Park Ji-hoon’s familiar… It’s a different story if an A-rank hunter is also attached as a watchdog.”

“Spend as much as you want.”

Park Ji-hoon’s name value in Korea is literally at the level of a free pass.

The association, hunters, and the public have come to a level where, when they hear his name, they just understand it, no matter how strange it is.

Not to mention the hunter associations in China and Vietnam who benefited from them.

In the United States, Michael Gordon’s power was strong and the government and association wanted to build a friendly relationship with Park Ji-hoon, so it was easy to secure gates in each country.

Shin Ji-yeon’s team’s first assignment was a gate in a city in Gyeongsangnam-do.

The rank is B.

The monster that appears is a wyvern.

It is a monster that has trouble flying, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.

Anyway, here there is Trene, whose basic ability is to fly, and Tinya, who can levitate using spirit magic.

Aerial combat wouldn’t be that difficult.

Chen Mei’s team arrived at the gate in China’s desert region.

Likewise, the monster that appears in B rank is Red Hobgoblin.

Among hobgoblins, it is a powerful species that has evolved to specialize in combat.

This team also includes Brianna, who is also a goblin.

For your information, when I asked her, she didn’t feel like she was of the same race and didn’t seem to mind if I had fun beating her to death.

And so the first debut match of the party made up of familiars began.

They took a step forward with nervous expressions, completely leaving Park Ji-hoon’s arms and walking in on their own.

Meanwhile, Park Ji-hoon…

“Let’s see.”

Before him, inside the gate, was a demon wearing an eye-poppingly revealing and erotic outfit.

There were a lot of succubi flying around.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you should get distracted.

A succubus is a fearsome high-level monster that places even the weakest low-level succubus at B rank.

It is a monster that can lead even an A-rank hunter to a goal if they let their guard down.

In particular, this gate is A rank.

This is a very dangerous gate where a high-level succubus comes out.

A normal hunter would stay alert and take action seriously rather than being fooled by pretty looks.

But Park Ji-hoon was different from other hunters.

“Wow, you look terrible today too!”

It’s not just that I’m relaxed, I’m completely distracted.

Truly good prey.

“Kyahaha! Stupid human!”

“Did you come here on your own to trick us?”

Naturally, the succubi rushed towards him.

It is destined to die as it has its vitality sucked away.

but.

Tiring!

[Face a female monster. ]

[Skill ‘Alpha Male’ is activated. ]

[Stats increase. ]

He was smiling.
