Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3)

When a human being has death right in front of them, their true nature inevitably ends up revealing itself, and Kim Seojun had experienced such desperate situations countless times.

It wasn’t something he had been born with.

Kim Seojun was fairly good at judging people.

From his perspective, Major Lee Hyena was, all things considered, a fairly decent person.

He could also tell from talking with her.

For starters, the simple fact that she was carrying out a solo mission on planet Amotia demonstrated that, at the very least, she acted with a certain sense of duty.

‘No matter how important the mission is, no one enters a planet alone.’

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

And Psykers like that were less common than one might imagine.

She did everything she could to look after Kim Seojun and Private First Class Park Boseop.

Kim Seojun had dared to express several opinions that perhaps weren’t his place to give precisely because he knew all of that.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right.”

However, that was an answer even Kim Seojun hadn’t anticipated.

He had only stretched out because he knew he had room to stretch his legs.

“Are you delegating all command authority to me?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It meant that, from that moment onward, Lee Hyena would obey Kim Seojun’s orders.

Handing over command authority was that extraordinary of a decision.

It didn’t simply mean, ‘Do whatever you want!’

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Military law wasn’t so ridiculous that such a trick would work.

Furthermore, this wasn’t some trick to free herself from any responsibility for the crimes they might commit.

‘She isn’t trying to pass the responsibility onto me either.’

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

And Lee Hyena wasn’t calculating enough to come up with something like that either.

Of course, that wasn’t the only reason.

She had made that decision because she trusted Kim Seojun’s abilities.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It seems she’s mistaken me for a Psyker.’

However, from Kim Seojun’s perspective, there was another reason that wasn’t insignificant either.

“Thank you.”

It was undoubtedly an important reason.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It doesn’t hurt me either.’

The possibility was more than sufficient.

Considering the abilities Kim Seojun had demonstrated up to that point, it was perfectly natural to reach the conclusion that he was a Psyker.

Furthermore, it was fairly common for Psyker Agents to conceal their identities or do similar things.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps it could cause him problems in the future, but in Kim Seojun’s mind, there was no ‘future’ at that moment.

It was much more convenient for them to think, ‘So he’s a Psyker!’ than for him to have to explain every detail.

From Kim Seojun’s perspective, there was no reason to reject that misunderstanding.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then, from this moment onward, we’ll head to the enemy stronghold.”

There was only one thing he had to do now.

At least, that was all it appeared to be at first glance.

Planet Amotia was a wasteland.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was why there were also a large number of mines, and those mines became excellent hideouts for those engaged in clandestine activities on the planet.

However, if there had truly been nothing there, so many countries wouldn’t have desperately tried to develop it despite it being an Orange-grade planet, in other words, a place infested with Mog.

Beneath that ground were abundant deposits of all kinds of valuable resources.

Within those labyrinthine places were spaces that had previously been used as shelters and could be reused without any problems as long as they received an adequate power supply.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

That place not only had facilities capable of opening even supply crates with extremely strict security systems, but also defensive facilities capable of withstanding possible external intrusions.

That was precisely why the thieves used Hongyuan Mine, which the Chinese division on planet Amotia had closed after finishing its exploitation, as a hideout.

In other words, intrusions by the owners of the supplies.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was only one problem.

Normally, they also kept a very close watch on the surrounding area.

In truth, that was perfectly natural.

Psykers weren’t among the threats they had prepared against.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Psyker would probably respond with a smile.

“It seems you take me for an idiot!”

If someone brought a valuable Psyker all the way there and told them.

“Psyker, it seems someone stole a supply crate. artist Could you recover it for us?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Clear.”

That was why, the instant Major Lee Hyena appeared, the defenses of Hongyuan Mine, controlled by the Chinese soldiers, were left completely defenseless.

Crack!

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Clear.”

Bang! audit Bang!

And that wasn’t all.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rather than simply playing an important role, he was achieving results even more terrifying than Major Lee Hyena’s.

Kim Seojun, who had entered with her, also played an important role.

No.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The ability was affected by density.

‘X-Ray Vision really is an absurd skill.’

However, X-Ray Vision wasn’t omnipotent.

Because the value of X-Ray Vision inside a winding, labyrinthine mine was impossible to describe.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Naturally, there were also times when he couldn’t see through high-density materials like iron.

When foreign substances were suspended in the atmosphere, he could see through them because their density itself was low, but when it came to materials like rock, there was a limit to what his vision could penetrate.

Even so, its usefulness remained enormous.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

One opened the way and the other finished them off.

In particular, the combination of Major Lee Hyena and Sergeant Kim Seojun was extremely powerful.

There couldn’t be more perfect teamwork.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thanks to that, the situation ended quickly.

“Clear.”

Bang! alpha Bang!

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The fact that they had broken into the place had surely already been transmitted to the Chinese headquarters on planet Amotia, and there was no doubt they would immediately send troops.

Of course, the real beginning was precisely that moment.

After those shots from Kim Seojun, there was no longer any sign of anyone anywhere.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The two took only everything they could carry with them.

Fortunately for them, the Chinese soldiers had organized the supplies very well and stacked them neatly inside the warehouse.

Kim Seojun and Major Lee Hyena headed to the warehouse where the stolen supplies had been gathered.

“Let’s gather everything quickly and get out of here.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, I saw it.”

“Sergeant Kim.”

Excessive greed always ended up causing problems.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was an enormous supply crate there.

Because they understood.

“It looks like Psyker supplies.”

However, the instant both of them saw a supply crate that still hadn’t been opened, they couldn’t help but stop.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, it wasn’t difficult to be certain of its identity.

If it had been an ordinary supply crate, they would have dismantled it long ago.

Naturally, it didn’t have any sign saying something like.

‘This belongs to a Psyker, don’t touch it!’

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The value of a Psyker’s supplies was incalculable.

At that, Lee Hyena hesitated.

But not only was it still intact, there were also clear traces around it showing that, until just a few moments earlier, they had been trying to open it by every possible means.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, trying to take it from there would, in many ways, mean giving in to greed.

For starters, it was too large.

And most importantly, even if they managed to take it with them, they didn’t even know whether they could open it.

Transporting it itself wouldn’t be difficult, but because of its size, they would have to give up an equivalent amount of food, ammunition, or other supplies.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

In the case of Psyker supplies, for security reasons, some crates were configured to detonate a bomb if someone tried to force them open.

Kim Seojun thought the same thing.

Rather, trying to force it open could cause an accident.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

For several reasons, he was prepared to let it go.

‘I can’t even see the inside clearly with X-Ray Vision.’

‘Is it a combination lock?’

Not even Kim Seojun could check what was inside.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

And above all, biometric authentication had the disadvantage that it could only be opened if the authorized person came in person.

Surprisingly, that was a fairly commonly used system.

However, the moment he confirmed that the lock on that safe was a combination type, one that opened by turning a dial until the correct numbers were entered, his expression changed.

The safest method was biometric authentication, but that type of system wasn’t very durable.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Keys could also be lost.

A combination lock, on the other hand, had certain advantages in those respects.

If that person died or ended up in a situation where they couldn’t move, the system became useless.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Can I see through this with X-Ray Vision?’

Of course, it didn’t matter which system they used.

What mattered was something else.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kim Seojun didn’t hesitate.

For Kim Seojun, who possessed X-Ray Vision, a combination lock could be a ridiculously simple security mechanism.

Surprisingly, he began to see the inside of the dial in detail.

He immediately used X-Ray Vision.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kim Seojun didn’t hesitate.

The inside of the security mechanism itself.

He began turning the dial.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

In movies, it was common to see someone discover the combination by listening to the sound the dial made as it turned, so that mechanism had been designed precisely to eliminate even that possibility.

Even as he turned it, the dial barely made any sound.

Rrrrrr.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

But Kim Seojun didn’t care about the sound.

Every time he reached a certain number, he could see something fit perfectly into a notch in the disc behind the dial.

Because he could see it.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

He stopped there.

After repeating that process ten times, it happened.

And turned it again.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Psssssssh!

“Fuck.”

The supply crate began to open with a loud sound.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

At that instant, the startled voice of Major Lee Hyena could be heard. action She had been checking the supplies some distance away and therefore didn’t know what Kim Seojun was doing.

“Get behind me!”

She immediately approached Kim Seojun and shouted.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

She had interpreted that sound as a bomb or some other dangerous device exploding or activating.

“Ah.”

Of course, it didn’t take her long to understand what had actually happened.

She positioned herself in front of him to serve as his shield.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment she understood, Lee Hyena’s face began to stiffen.

And the other half from disbelief.

“H-How?”

Half from embarrassment.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You got lucky?”

“I got lucky.”

As she looked at him with that expression, Kim Seojun said.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s my ability. arcade I have X-Ray Vision. athlete I won’t explain anything else.”

Lee Hyena looked at him with an expression that practically said, ‘Do you really expect me to believe that?’

Kim Seojun immediately replied.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

And that wasn’t the time to ask questions about Kim Seojun’s abilities either.

Lee Hyena was surprised when she heard the answer, but it didn’t take her long to accept it.

After all, when it came to a Psyker, nothing they did would seem strange.

“First, let’s check what’s inside.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

There were three pistols, three assault rifles, and one sniper rifle.

The first things they saw were firearms, and there was a considerable variety.

The two checked the Psyker’s supply crate at the same time.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, there was nothing strange about that either.

Instead, all the remaining space was filled with ammunition.

There was no suit.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

If their suit was still intact and the rest of their equipment was in good condition, there was no reason to request another suit.

It was much more common to request consumables such as ammunition and firearms.

Supplies were, literally, additional items that a Psyker requested during a mission or training.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Naturally, the weapons used Gauss technology, and the ammunition consisted of special projectiles manufactured for those Gauss weapons.

Their value was enormous.

Furthermore, even with only that, the value of that supply crate exceeded anything an ordinary person could imagine.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, there was one thing in particular that caught his attention.

‘Could that be……’

A can of cola designed for space that was sitting in one corner.

From Kim Seojun’s perspective, it was enough to make his eyes linger on everything.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment he saw it, a memory from quite some time ago appeared in Kim Seojun’s mind.

The moment she heard the name Hawk Eye, Lee Hyena’s expression changed.

“Have you heard anything about Hawk Eye coming here?”

Then he asked.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘America’s best sniper.’

That was how overwhelming that name was to those who lived in space.

She was stunned.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

There wasn’t even any country marking on the outside.

Of course, what they had in front of them was nothing more than supplies of a relatively common level.

Because Hawk Eye was the best sniper among all the human beings who existed in space.

“Sergeant Kim Seojun, are you saying these supplies belong to Hawk Eye? shadow How can you be sure?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Furthermore, Hawk Eye wasn’t an ordinary Psyker.

He belonged to the United States, held the rank of Colonel, and possessed power that surpassed even what corresponded to that rank.

There was absolutely no clue that would allow them to connect them to the name Hawk Eye.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, there was a simple reason why he had asked that question.

Kim Seojun knew that as well.

He wasn’t someone they would send to a mere Orange-grade planet.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“Cola?”

“There’s cola.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the memory of the second time he had encountered a Behemoth.

Of course, that didn’t mean Kim Seojun had personally met Hawk Eye during the process.

As he spoke, an old memory appeared in Kim Seojun’s mind.

Hawk Eye had been mobilized to hunt that extraordinary monster, and the United States Space Defense Forces, including Hawk Eye, had managed to hunt the Behemoth.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

His company commander approached Kim Seojun and told him.

Far from meeting him, at the time Kim Seojun had been too busy fleeing from the Behemoth.

He only learned what had happened after the battle ended, when he returned to the space station aboard a rescue ship.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hawk Eye had seen the desperate escape Kim Seojun had pulled off back then.

‘I suppose flooring the accelerator with a Behemoth behind me and a general sitting beside me really was insane.’

“Seojun, Hawk Eye says you’re a fucking lunatic!”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was when Kim Seojun discovered it.

And he had also sent him a gift.

That gift had been a cola.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, cola wasn’t something only Hawk Eye could obtain.

“Hawk Eye likes cola.”

Hawk Eye, that existence whose name alone was known and whose face wasn’t even public knowledge, enjoyed drinking cola.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, nothing was certain.

So Kim Seojun ended his explanation there.

“That’s all. action I’m not sure. anchor I only asked just in case.”

In any PX, there were enough cans to make someone sick of seeing them.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kim Seojun simply thought.

Because if Hawk Eye was there, there was a high probability that planet Amotia had become a far worse hell than they imagined.

‘……Please, don’t let him be here. voyage Please.’

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sergeant Kim! sphere You said those were Hawk Eye’s supplies! apple If we steal that……!”

Regardless of that, Kim Seojun’s hand moved toward the supply crate.

At her warning, which basically meant, ‘If we steal this, we’re fucked!’, Kim Seojun replied.

Seeing that, Lee Hyena flinched.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right. aspect The ones who stole them were the Chinese soldiers. antique If we leave them here, they’ll simply end up becoming the property of the Chinese military.”

Then he added.

“It’s not certain that they’re his. arctic And I don’t intend to steal them either.”

“You don’t?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment she heard that, Lee Hyena’s gaze wavered.

Kim Seojun continued.

“So I’m merely collecting them to return them to their owner.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course, some problems may arise during the process of returning them.”

“But it won’t be our fault.”

Then he looked at the corpses of the Chinese soldiers scattered around them and finished by saying.

Kim Seojun paused briefly.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The radio sounded.

Nor did she have time to.

At those words, Lee Hyena could no longer say anything else.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 12: I Became a Looter on My Second Day as an NCO (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

— We’re fucked! avalanche A Tank Bug has appeared!

Park Boseop, who was waiting outside, spoke hurriedly.

— Major! acid Sergeant!
