Chapter 230
The family sat at the dining table eating dinner. The TV was on, showing the news.
⌜Breaking news: The S-rank Great Fissure in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province, has been successfully cleared just eleven hours after the operation began. Led by Hunter Lee Kang-Hyun, the team eliminated the S-rank monsters, Wyverns, and exited the Fissure safely. As you can see, the public’s fervent reaction continues to resonate.⌟
Tonight’s dinner was chicken soup.
Do-Jun scooped a spoonful of thick, milky broth filled with ginseng, jujubes, garlic, astragalus, and antler, then tasted it as his thoughts wandered. Lately, Yoon-Hee’s cooking skills had been improving remarkably. He mused that at this rate, she could open a restaurant and find great success. Looking up, he saw Yoon-Hee engrossed in her smartphone while glancing at the TV.
She said, “Father, look at this. The real-time search rankings are full of S-rank Hunters!”
It seemed the aftermath of the Great Fissure operation was widespread. As Yoon-Hee said, the top twenty search rankings on the portal site were dominated by the names of S-rank Hunters.
Do-Jun smiled faintly and replied, “I see.”
Yoon-Hee showed him her phone screen with sparkling eyes, saying, “My friends are going wild too.”
Her Academy peers had a group chat with over twenty members, made up of freshmen from Class B. It was abuzz with admiration for the S-rank Hunters, filled with chatter about aspiring to become Hunters themselves or enthusiastically participating in fan club activities.
Yoon-Hee moved closer to Do-Jun in a conspicuous manner, showing him something else on her phone: a list of online fan clubs dedicated to S-rank Hunters. Starting with Kang-Hyun, it included other Rankers like Jun-Yeol, Ae-Kyung, Min-Hyuk, Young-Ho, and Min-Ji. Each fan club boasted a staggering number of members—Kang-Hyun’s alone had over ten million, with the others having at least one million each.
“I see that you’re a member too,” Do-Jun remarked.
Yoon-Hee blushed deeply, even though it wasn’t strange at all for an aspiring Hunter to admire S-rankers and join their fan clubs.
