Episode 76
belt ring.
– Joined the guild, [Peace]!
– You have completed the achievement, [Join Guild]!
– Acquire 10 points as an achievement reward.
‘Is this also an achievement?’
Whenever a system message like now pops up, I feel like I’ve become something of a hero. achievement achievement. It’s a pretty grand package for joining a guild to make money.
‘Well, it’s good for me.’
Even 10 points is a good reward, but after hearing the words of team leader Choi who succeeded him, I had to suppress the corners of my mouth that kept rising.
“The down payment will be processed within today. Other matters such as residence or other issues… … “A down payment of 500 million won, a fixed salary of 50 million won per month and a settlement ratio of 70%.
Houses, cars, and dozens of other items provided by the guild.
I’ve already confirmed it several times in the contract, but hearing it like this gives me a new feeling.
“I am a dragon.”
Just three months ago, I could never have imagined that my life would turn out like this.
To be a Shanseo Jamrong in Moorim, and a hunter earning hundreds of millions of dollars in real life.
“manager.”
“In the case of equipment rental, except for my collection… … yes?”
“Please give me a slap on the cheek. If it’s a dream, I’ll wake up quickly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes flashed.
puck!
Not ‘mate!’ but puck?
I muttered as I touched my tingly chin.
“He hits you without hesitation.”
“You’re the kind of person who can’t refuse a request.”
“I don’t think I asked you to use your fist.”
“You didn’t say not to use it.”
If it wasn’t for the newly created [Toughness] ability, I would have become ugly.
‘right. This human B-class hunter.’
The fist he stretched out without even preparing was thrust into his chin. strength and hitting point. It is perfect.
“Isn’t it normal to be slapped though?”
“There are exceptions. How are you, are you feeling better?”
“… … It sounds very good.”
“That’s good. Wouldn’t it be better to make a good first impression by meeting someone sober?”
I asked back at Team Leader Choi’s unexpected words.
“First Impressions? Who are you going to see?”
“Who would you be?”
Chief Choi smiled and continued.
“Other guild members.”
“ah.”
Only then did I recall a fact I had forgotten.
That a minimum of three people are required to create a guild.
“Then shall we depart soon?”
Chief Choi pointed out the window. A sleek black limousine was sliding into the parking lot in front of the cafe.
“Congratulations.”
The main character with a profound voice that would appear in a coffee CF was Deacon Kim. Dressed in a suit even on a hot summer day, he was skillfully driving a limousine.
“Ah yes. thank you.”
Strangely, words do not come out easily in front of this person. Is it because of the image of a butler seen only in dramas?
‘No. If that’s the case, Team Manager Choi adds more.’
After thinking for a while, I concluded that it must be because of Deacon Kim’s unique atmosphere. Maybe it was the unfamiliarity of riding a limousine for the first time in my life.
‘It’s a limousine.’
The inside was spacious and had all sorts of items. For example, a small refrigerator that Team Manager Choi just touched.
“Would you like to quench your thirst?”
“That’s good.”
It was a thirsty car.
“water? alcohol?”
“Do you have any alcohol?”
Chief Choi nodded.
“Yes, whatever you want.”
“Ah, then I’m a somaek. Half and half.”
“… … I’ll give you some water.”
There was not a single common brand on the mineral water bottle that Team Manager Choi handed over.
When Team Manager Choi said that they had been airlifted from somewhere in the Himalayas, I stuck out my tongue.
‘It must be filthy expensive.’
There is no such thing as money. Still, after taking a sip, it was refreshing.
gulp.
belt ring.
– You consumed [Essence of the Himalayas].
– Intelligence increases by 1 for an hour.
… … That’s why you’re wasting money. In fact, this is how wealth redistribution takes place and the economy revitalizes. hmm.
As I was contemplating how many to pack, the limousine stopped. Butler Kim said in his characteristic grave voice.
“Im here.”
As soon as you get out of the car, your mouth opens wide at the sight.
High-rise skyscrapers. The exterior walls sparkled even without sunlight, as if they had been magically treated, and guards dressed in uniforms were waiting at the entrance.
“wow. wow.”
Team leader Choi approached me as I let out a series of exclamations.
“Nice, right? It is no exaggeration to say that all the branches of the top 100 guilds in the country are gathered here. There is also a branch of a large overseas guild that Taekyung knows just by hearing the name.”
I answered without taking my eyes off the building.
“The price of land must be exorbitant.”
“Yes. It can also be called the center of gates near Bucheon.”
“Like Gangnam in the past?”
“Both Taekyung and I didn’t live in those days… … All I know is that if I had done more, I would have done more, not less.”
It has been a long time since the value of land has changed.
It was even before I was born, but middle-aged hunters who lived in the era before the cataclysm would sometimes recount the stories of those days, soaked in memories.
‘In the old days, if you had a house in Gangnam, you would hear the sound of a golden spoon.’
‘They said there was a Bundang on top of Heaven as a joke, so that was the land of gold dust.’
‘Was it that expensive?’
‘It was expensive enough to throw up. Until the monsters attack.’
After that, I know the story.
In the early days of Cataclysm, well-developed cities and densely populated areas were the first targets of the monster armies, and humanity was helpless.
Today’s Gangnam and Bundang are cities that have already been destroyed and rebuilt. After the Cataclysm, the real goldfoil lands were divided into two types.
‘Safe zone, and gated area.’
The safe zone can be said to be the best residence for the general public with a near-zero probability of occurrence of a gate, and the area with a high concentration of gates is a place that meets the optimal requirements for a hunter guild to settle down.
‘For example, a snack bar in front of an elementary school.’
There are about 100 gates in Bucheon alone. Many of them are low-level gates, but in terms of numbers, they are densely populated areas that are among the top 10 in Korea.
‘This is the center.’
You can tell just by looking around the high-rise buildings. The fact that it is a neighborhood where most small and medium guilds cannot even set foot.
‘This kind of wealth.’
It was the time when I looked at Team Leader Choi with awe.
“Let’s work hard and move to a place like that.”
“I will give my allegiance… … yes?”
“yes?”
“No, yes?”
“Why is that?”
Shiva, why do you ask because you don’t know?
After barely swallowing the words that had filled his throat, his voice leaked out.
“You said everything arrived?”
You] have arrived.”
I turned my head to the butler Kim.
“Deacon Kim. Is this right?”
“you’re right.”
Butler Kim nodded without hesitation.
“But Hunter seems to be looking in the wrong direction.”
“direction?”
“yes. I think you can turn your head a little to the right from that position.”
As he said, I turned my head and opened my mouth after a moment of silence.
“What is that crumbling building?”
The building, which was located alone among luxurious high-rise buildings, looked exceptionally small and old.
Butler Kim kindly explained.
“A supermarket, to be exact.”
“More precisely, it looks like a hole-in-the-wall shop.”
I narrowed my eyes and glared at the collapsing hole-in-the-wall store. The yellowed sign read:
[Sunine Soupe]
“Who is Suni? Even the name is cheesy.”
“It is your grandmother. Lived here for 70 years.”
“Come to think of it, it’s very sophisticated.
A name that seems to last forever.”
“He passed away two months ago.”
“Ah.” “Why are you doing this to me?
“Because he was extremely stubborn, he refused to accept any large amount of money offered at the time of redevelopment of densely populated areas. Later, other guilds had already established themselves… … In the end, we bought it through the bereaved family.”
“So you’re saying that Suni’s super is our guild house?”
“Exactly.”
With mixed eyes, I looked at the half-collapsed Soonie Super.
The guild house is the face and signboard of the guild. No matter how expensive the land in the neighborhood is, it’s like that… … .
‘No. A new guild like this is amazing.’
It’s just that the expectations were too high.
On this floor where all kinds of scams are rampant, the sincerity that Team Manager Choi showed me is enough to trust and follow.
“Chief Choi.”
“Yes, Tae-kyung.”
I grabbed Team Leader Choi’s hand.
“I will try really hard.
It doesn’t matter if the guild house is Shun’s super or Shun’s building.”
Team leader Choi answered with a trembling face.
“Thank you for noticing.”
“There is a saying like that. The beginning is weak, but the end will be great!”
“It is still very large. Deacon Kim, how much did it cost to purchase the site for that store?”
Deacon Kim replied.
“A little over 2 billion per pyeong.”
“… … 2 billion per pyeong?”
“yes.”
After a moment of silence, I opened my mouth.
“The beginning is grand, but I believe the end will be even grander.”
Team leader Choi and Deacon Kim’s eyes are pierced like arrows. It was at that moment when the two of them stared at me with expressions wondering if there was such a bastard.
profit. thud!
[Soonine Supe] A signboard with decades of history, written clearly in Hancom font, was nailed to the ground.
“… … Remodeling will make it all right.”
As team leader Choi muttered in a mosquito-like voice, the super moon opened and a person appeared.
“Oops, this fell again.”
A man of supernatural strength grunting and lifting a fallen signboard with one hand. I was blown away by the appearance of a completely unexpected person.
“Uncle Kkeokjeong?”
Lim Kkeok-jeong, a kind middle-aged E-class hunter, spotted us and waved with a bright smile.
“Oh, Tae Kyung!”
what is this. What happened?
While I was dumbfounded, Lim Kkeok-jeong approached and tapped me on the shoulder.
“How are you children? You said you were C-class?”
“No, why are you here?”
“Ha ha ha! why is there Is it wrong for the guild members to be in the guild house?”
He burst into a hearty laugh and continued.
“I was lying motionless in the hospital, and suddenly team leader Choi came over there and said that. Are you thinking of joining the guild? Needless to say, it was okay.”
Team leader Choi, who was looking at the signboard with sad eyes, added a word.
“I think you are a trustworthy person.”
“Young people are loyal. Over there, Mr. Kim is also reticent, but he is a really nice person. Not to mention Miss Song.”
“No, wait. Wait.”
what is the situation now
I asked in the most calm tone possible.
“How long ago did you join?”
苗.
Chief Choi intervened again.
“I think you are a trustworthy person.”
“Young people are loyal. Over there, Mr. Kim is also reticent, so… … I will turn
“I heard that before. Then what about the others?”
”huh?”
“Where are the other guild members?
Surely there are not all four of us here?”
“Of course not.”
Lim Kkeok-jeong, who gave a sharp answer, added,
“Miss Song went shopping. You’re throwing a welcome party.”
“Miss Song? Could it be that he is the end?”
“huh. There are five of us including Ms. Song. I left an hour ago, so it’s time to come back soon.”
The words that followed were unheard of.
‘Five people.’
is this a dream?
It was Lim Kkeok-jeong’s roaring cry that woke me up as I watched the collapsing Soon-i-ne Super with a blank face.
“Oh, there you go. Song Yang! here it is, here it is! Here comes the newcomer!”
I turned my head to follow Lim Kkeok-jeong’s gaze.
The last guild member and founding member of the Supermini Guild.
‘She’ was there.
