지부에서 crystal값 아끼자고 사냥한 것도 웃기다
I was reading a webtoon and then I couldn't understand this sentence "지부에서 Crystal값 아끼자고 사냥한 것도 웃기다". The context: the main character is a hunter who fights monsters and inside those monsters there are crystals he later then can sell to 지부 for the price of 100.000 won. But the hunting was poor and he needed the crystals so he went to 지부 to buy them. But they were selling it for 200.000 won which was twice the original price. I know the context is weird and I'm really sorry for that! Even without the context what it could mean? 기름값 아끼다 - is to save up money on oil right? and 사냥한 것 - the rhing they hunted?

Question

Answer

기름값 아끼다 = save money by using less oil (because the oil being used translates to money).
사냥한 것 = 1) the thing they hunted, 2) the fact that they hunted.  Your example has the #2 meaning.

지부 is either a branch unit (like 지사 or 지국) of an organization (지=branch, 부=part) or a place name.

So "지부에서 Crystal값 아끼자고 사냥한 것도 웃기다" = It's funny that we hunted in 지부 to save money on Crystals.  It sounds like if they could obtain Crystals by hunting, it would be that much money saved since they wouldn't have to buy them.  So they went hunting for them in 지부 and now they think it was funny for whatever reason.

Answer

지부에서 crystal값 아끼자고 사냥한 것도 웃기다
It is also ridiculous that they hunted in order to save the cost for the crystal in the branch.
사냥한 것 : the action of hunting; the fact that they hunted
