Chapter 149
I didn’t know how to react to this .
In the first place, dungeons up to level 5 were blocked and I was managing the Red Holes . If I wanted to then I could block the level 6 dungeons right now because I had enough reward points .
To grab my collar when it wouldn’t be enough to bow down to me . This guy…… .
As I kept my mouth closed it seems Joo Sae-yoon thought I was scared as he continued coercing me with bloodshot eyes .
“Promise! To not do it!”
I was wondering what to do but I thought it would be better to use other people that to use my own hands .
As I lightly swung my hands, the hunters around us all crowded around . I had used the Conscript skill one more time .
Even if it was the stubborn Joo Sae-yoon, he wouldn’t be able to prevent himself from being flustered while surrounded by hundreds of hunters .
“What are these bastards……?”
“What is what . They’re people that came to get rid of the guy that’s rampaging in someone else’s territory . ”
I said while letting out a laugh .
“These……! Do you not know what happens when you provoke a government associate?”
He acted in a confident manner but I could feel his voice tremble minutely .
Cho Young-gu who interfered belatedly opened his mouth while grumbling .
“Ah . So noisy when we’re eating . The ‘government associate’ over there . Do you not know where this is? Do you think someone will know if we killed you and buried you here?”
Joo Sae-yoon’s face puffed up to the point of exploding .
“You, you guys don’t seem to know how much of a problem this will become . I will explain one more time…… . ”
*Places hand* .
“Huh? Let go of me? Whose body are you putting your hands on right now!”
“If you don’t want things to get rough then follow obediently . ”
“Hey fuck! Let go of me I said!”
Hunters gathered . Cho Young-gu strangled his neck while others held his limbs from both sides causing him to choke and flail .
However, even as the same level 6, Cho Young-gu had overwhelming more power . This was the difference between a guy that raised his level with items and a hunter raised ability through real combat .
In the end Joo Sae-yoon had no choice but to get pulled away .
“You bastards! You all better resolve yourselves! You won’t be able to get even close to dungeons!”
I could hear him being violent even as he was being pulled away .
Ahhh!
The sound of something getting further and something hitting the ground could be heard .
It seems they threw him under the hill .
Eum Young-hyeon glanced back and opened his mouth .
“He didn’t die right?”
“Probably . ”
I shrugged and continued my words .
Thinking about it, this guy kept a neutral stance the entire time . It seems he thought I would take care of it on my own .
“Either way, does General Eum have something to say to me separately? I think the only thing the government team has to say is that ridiculous things that guy just now said . ”
“I got dragged here by that guy . I just wanted to say my thanks . My life got saved thanks to you after all . ”
“Yes?”
“Why are you surprised when I said something obvious?”
“Right . I wonder why I was so surprised . When it’s so obvious . ”
There were not many normal humans so Eum Young-hyeon’s thanks felt extremely foreign . To be honest, reactions like Joo Sae-yoon’s seemed more obvious after all .
“I want to repay you for this but I don’t have something give you in particular so contact me later sometime . ”
Eum Young-hyeon passed me a business card . On it, Team Mercenary, Yellow Sea Region Team Leader Eum Young-hyeon was written .
“You’re part of Mercenary?”
“That is so . ”
“Um…… Do you know someone called Eum Hyeon-joon?”
“It’s my younger brother . ”
“The difference in age is…… . ”
“He’s the youngest of 5 brothers and sisters . He’s a guy that has been brought up while constantly adored . ”
“Ah…… Yes . ”
He wasn’t a person that went well with adorable though .
Either way, there was a reason Eum Hyeon-joon got into Team Mercenary I see . I thought that his abilities were lacking but was it something like a parachute? (Kyle: ‘Parachute appointment’ in Korea is a closely related person that has a high position in a company/business helping someone get in . Basically corruption…… . )
“I hope that you won’t misunderstand . I didn’t recommend him or anything, I was surprised as well when he got into Mercenary as well . ”
“Haha . I didn’t think anything like that . ”
“Your expression seemed to be thinking just that . Well, it’s fine if it wasn’t . ”
It wasn’t like my face was an electronic display that showed everything I was thinking or something .
Whew, I let out a sigh like that and shook my head when I matched sights with An Gyu-bum .
Come to think of it, this guy was glaring at me since a while ago . Did he come because he had something to say? Exchanging greetings with our relationship is…… No, I don’t think we have anything say anymore . It’s not like he has a grudge with me after all .
Well, he did seem to be angry the entire time . Should I say that I have completely forgotten about him while checking the Effort skill’s abilities .
I instead felt refreshing thinking about how he couldn’t tell the real potential of the skill and mocked me .
“Why did you come here?”
“Where did you buy that?”
“What are you talking about . ”
“The van over there at the back . I have heard that there’s not a single place in the world that can create vehicles that can withstand hunters’ attacks . ”
“Ah . The van . That’s not for sale . ”
“So how much is it . ”
He’s talking like some oil billionaire .
Did you think I would sell this?
“1t . ”
“Okay . I’ll buy it . ”
“I wasn’t even planning on…… hm?”
Wait a minute .
What did this guy just say?
“Why are you looking at me with such an expression? I said that I would buy it though . ”
“N, no, wait a minute…… . ”
This was the first time someone surprised me so much after Soo-ah .
Was 1t some house’s dog’s name .
“If it’s difficult immediately you can contact me later . ”
After saying so he sent his business card flying .
Checking it, it was certainly his business card . What . Was this guy being serious?
“Well…… I will think about it . ”
It was confusing somehow . Of course, that amount of money was something that surpassed my imagination . There was nothing to lose . I just had to buy another one after all .
But something felt off . A trillion for a single vehicle? Logically speaking, no matter how good it is that’s not a price one would pay .
In that sense, the portable bed that he bought was the same . To buy that at 10b . If he had such money, it would be cheaper to have a house on a truck .
I wonder why he was messing around with the money so much when it was pointless .
Just because he had a lot of money?
No way . Guys with a lot of money were usually stingier with their money .
There was no way a rich person would spray money into the air just because they had a lot of money . Guys with such personalities would be dropped from the potential heir list from the beginning .
From the point of view of those that are maintaining their fortune, such a guy wouldn’t be able to rise as the owner of a company after all .
Even if An Gyu-bum seemed to have middle schooler syndrome, he wasn’t an idiot .
I thought that there was definitely a reason to it .
“Let me ask something . ”
“What is it . ”
“Where are you planning on using this?”
“What will the guy selling it do knowing that . ”
“I’m not going to sell it if you don’t tell me the reason . ”
An Gyu-bum’s expression crumpled up .
“Collecting cars is my hobby . Is that fine?”
“Ah . It’s quite a believable story . ”
In any case, I understood that he didn’t want to tell me .
Joo Sae-yoon was able to return with his body intact .
Since they rolled him down the hill to go well, it probably worked to disgrace him . It was something I heard from someone but it felt quite refreshing .
The 3,000 hunters separated themselves appropriately and started pursuing the Chungho Group .
The government team also started leaving the base to earnestly pursue . They will have bloodshot eyes chasing around Chungho Group escapees trying to see how gets more achievements .
With this, it can be said that the forest was taken care of .
The first thing I did after the forest work was over was using the Mystic Dungeon to find out the location of the next ruin . I was able to check the location of the next ruin with the blinking red dot .
The location was…… .
The Bering Strait that connected Alaska and Russia . A new land that rose like the Yellow Sea . It was a land that was being called New Alaska .
I had thought that it would obviously be in the Yellow Sea and was looking at the region with a blank expression . It wasn’t like there was no direct path to it but it was a situation where we had to cross China and go through Russia .
We had to cross the borders of two countries so it was not an easy path to travel . I didn’t have a passport in the first place too .
The Strengthening Stones and bonus EP was certainly a considerable profit but I thought about if there was enough merit to be worth crossing two borders .
On top of that, that region was a place Russia and America were competing over .
From America’s point of view, it was a perfect chance to complete their ambition of connecting their land to the Bering Strait . If that happened, they would be able to escape their situation of being an internationally isolated country .
Also, Russia was struggling to use this to rip off money from America .
That’s why there was a struggle as competitive as Korea versus China happening there .
Jumping in there and searching for the ruin was not something I felt inclined to do .
I decided to think about it slowly for now .
No, I was planning on resting .
We decided to return to Seoul to rest .
“Wheeew . ”
Soo-ah stretched her body like a cat .
She was agile on top of being flexible . She eats food like a pig so I had no idea how she maintains that figure .
“Hm? You’re already up?”
“Is this your house?”
It has already been 3 days since returning from the Yellow Sea .
In that time, Soo-ah had been here as if living in my house .
“Because my older sister brought her boyfriend over…… . ”
“I think you said such an excuse before as well . ”
“It’s a different boyfriend this time . ”
“Are you making your sister a debauchee?”
“Ahaha . ”
Soo-ah laughed awkwardly and continued .
“But where are you going in the morning?”
“Looking for a house . ”
“Ooh…… You’re finally moving to an apartment?”
“No, I think an apartment would be overdoing it . So I’m planning on going to a detached house . A large land as much as possible . ”
For now, there were two parasites and it didn’t seem like they were going to live while caring about others’ opinions .
I think it would be better to just use a bit more money to get a large detached house instead .
Since my main job was monster hunting there was no need to be in the crowded Seoul downtown .
That’s why I was aiming for a large house in the outer region of Seoul .
It was plot of land that was originally an elementary school that was modified and used as a house . It had a large schoolyard and although it was a bit run down it also had a gymnasium that could be used to do sports in .
Conveniently, I had a lot of money piled up . The close to 7,000 items that I had were all given to the market and since there were so many I got a message saying that it will take a few days for the money to come in .
Even so, I had gotten 300b as the first payment . They said that altogether a total of close to 2t will come in…… .
It didn’t feel real at all . At this point, it didn’t feel like money but some random number .
Right . I also bought 20 yoplaits and threw them away after only licking the lid .
It was rather moronic, but I always wanted to try it once .
“I want to go as well . ”
“I will also go . ”
Edward who was sleeping while stuck to the ceiling opened his eyes .
I didn’t get used to that no matter how many times I saw it . Either way, if I moved to another house we wouldn’t bump into each other so it should become more comfortable .
