Chapter 216
Seoul City Hall, Fissure Management Division Office.
It was the afternoon, and employees were gradually returning to the office after a quick lunch. In the break room, Do-Jun and Hyuk-Soo were chatting about various topics when Cheol-Soo walked in, carrying three cups of Americano from a chain coffee shop. He handed one to each of them before settling into a seat.
“Chief, what’s that...?” Hyuk-Soo asked, noticing Cheol-Soo holding another bag containing three packs of trading cards. The label on the packs read Hunter Battle, a card game that had recently become wildly popular among children.
After pulling the packs out of the bag, Cheol-Soo muttered with mild annoyance, “My son asked me to pick these up on the way home. Apparently, they’re a must-have if you want to fit in with the other kids these days. Funny how kids glued to their smartphones are suddenly into card games like this again.”
Each pack contained ten cards, ranging from F-rank to S. True to its name, Hunter Battle featured cards inspired by Hunters and monsters, each with a rank, skills, and attack power displayed beneath their names.
Cheol-Soo opened one of the packs, then muttered in disappointment, “This one’s a bust. The highest I got is a C-rank Orc Warrior.”
Do-Jun picked up a card from the table. Unlike the others, it featured a Hunter rather than a monster. The name on the card was Choi Kyung-Man, a D-rank Hunter well-known for his popularity on MeTube and other streaming platforms.
“Do your kids play this too, Do-Jun?”
Do-Jun scratched his chin. He’d heard of Hunter Battle a few times but hadn’t seen it at home. Yoon-Hee wouldn’t be interested in such things, and Karsiel probably wasn’t either.
“Not that I know of.”
But if anyone did... it would probably be Yong-Yong, Do-Jun thought.
