Evolution Theory of the Hunter - Chapter 201

Chapter 201

I may be deprived of my dungeon. That’s what Sunghyun Kim says. This was an absolute headache.

I bought the dungeon in North Korea was because it offered privacy. However, if it had been stolen like this, it was impossible to hunt as comfortably as it is now.

“So is there a solution?” I asked. I would not have been prepared without this.

“There are two,” he answered slowly and swallowed.

“The first is to buy a pass and using it. But it would cost extra money.”

I had already paid for it once. Of course, it wasn’t cheap, but it was an appropriate amount at the time. However, I am hesitant to pay additional money there.

“To be honest, this is not my problem, either.”

“Of course, it’s our fault. Therefore, I plan to compensate as much as possible. But I don’t think Jeon Sang-min wants money.”

“I do.”

Some money is not important to me now. In the end, I knew I could get the money to convince Ju Yong-hae.

I chose to ignore the legitimate contract and get in.

There is a saying that goes, ‘It is better for me to lose money than to give my enemy more.’

“Anyway, the way to buy with money is a pass. What’s the other way?”

“The second is to use it to deny the request of the President.”

“Isn’t that what you’re doing?”

“Of course, there will be real pressure. Ju Yonghae has an army.”

“It means that we must have the strength to stop it.”

Sung-Hyun Kim may have a lot of money, but the Northern Peninsula is poor. They had to sell dungeons to me. There can be no power against Ju Yonghae.

“That’s why there is a secret treaty with the Korean government. It is a condition of helping the North Korean Peninsula become independent from China on condition that all rights to dungeons are handed over.”

I acted as if I hadn’t heard anything.

This is state-to-state confidential information. Telling me something like that means I have something they want.

“Nowadays, there is a lot of mess at the National Level. That’s why I want to be a big shot.”

“What does that mean?”

“It is literally an opportunity to escape the influence of the North Korean Peninsula.”

“Isn’t this good enough to put such a risk?”

As mentioned before, China is a great power. They accumulated a great deal of wealth through Agriculture, and because of it, they have a powerful influence on the whole world.

Still, it is true that North Korea does not have too much support from its ally. Residents of this place still have hungry people.

In addition, the profits from Hunter were not used for the welfare of the North Korean Peninsula but were taken by the Central Party. In fact, North Korea is being treated as abandoned land, even in China.

“Well, everyone who heard of the situation here must know.”

“It wouldn’t be that easy.”

“This is the only chance.”

That’s right. North Korea’s only chance to escape from China’s grasp is the chaos in China due to the defeat, and the red hole in the West Sea.

“That’s a huge burden for us. Team Delta is just a raid team.”

However, it is suicidal that fewer than 100 hunters are involved in a national conflict.

“A concrete plan is already in place. Military issues have also been negotiated with the Korean government.”

Of course, it was an open secret that the South Korean government continued to make plans to restore North Korea.

However, it wasn’t because the main customer of Hunter Market was China. But now that China has been provocative, the justification for regaining North Korea had more importance.

When I heard Kim Sung-hyun’s explanation, I had a question.

“But why do you need my strength?”

“To be precise, it is a good opportunity. Hunters usually don’t intervene in these fights.”

Seohae was related to the actual benefits of the hunters, so it could be mobilized with reasonable compensation. However, North Korea is another matter.

The number of hunters who intervene in the justification of recovering Goto is small.

“If the condition is that the control of the entire North Korean dungeon is handed over to the Korean government, doesn’t that include those rights over the dungeon I have?”

“Of course yes, there is a story about the long-term lease of a raid team that participated in the rights of the dungeons in the Northern Peninsula for the raid team to participate. And my intention will be reflected in the selection of the team.”

“I think it’s a good opportunity, and we have to take advantage of it.”

“I know the power of Jeon Sang-min. It’s almost equal to Team Delta’s power.”

“Have you done a background check?

“I just came out of the Internet. It will be a good opportunity, anyway.”

“What are the conditions?”

“Right to 10 dungeons around Pyongyang. Of course, including your dungeon right now.”

“Good.”

Ten dungeons. It was never written down.

I may not need it right away, but just having the dungeon will bring in money. There was a time when being a landlord would the best job. Owning a dungeon means that you can keep getting huge profits that could not compare to what a landlord is getting.

I briefly explained what happened today to the team members.

Everyone was surprised that I accepted the offer.

“North Korean independence?”

Cho Young-gu glanced as if the thought was embarrassing. He had never thought of such a thing.

“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.”

“What a sad phrase. Aren’t we supposed to be dying together? You still can’t trust us?” Mr. Kim murmured.

Apparently, without me, each individual’s mind seemed to be different.

“If I can go with my older brother, anything is fine.”

“Me too.”

Yeon-kyung, who became curiously active, replied to Sua.

Park Han-beom and the rest of the team immediately agreed.

“Hmm… … That may not be easy.”

But surprisingly, Han Jun-suk shook his head.

I was curious about his opinion because he was a man who was usually not against my opinion.

“Why?”

“Of course, if it is the ability of the team leader, it will be possible. To be honest, I’ve never heard of an 11th level dungeon. The fight against Lee Hee-seung, the teacher of the past….”

“What is that teacher?”

Sua interrupted her. Han Jun-seok coughed and spoke.

“Anyway, if I just complete the farming there, I think it’s hard to win even if it’s Hee-seung Lee.”

“But why is it difficult?”

“I am concerned about the safety of the team members.”

“Ah.”

Jun-Seok Han is in charge of the overall operation of Team Delta on my behalf. That’s why he had all the problems I had been worried about before. And among them, the safety of the team members was the top priority. It was also a matter I had directed.

“If North Korea stands up, it will be difficult for the Central Party to react quickly. However, it is possible to get rid of some backgrounds. That would make it difficult for current team members to face them. We still need more time.”

“If those guys deal with me… … .”

“Our presence itself holds back the team leader. It will be difficult for him to fight while protecting us.”

“Well, then I can’t help it.”

“Sorry.”

“Let’s do farming in all level 11 dungeons.”

“Yeah? That makes no sense…”

In my words, Han Jun-suk’s eyes widened.

“When we are away from the team, we had to be self-reliant. But going together is a way to get stronger much faster, and you don’t have to hold back too hard.”

Of course, in the beginning, I will have to carry them. However, once they are on a certain level, they are able to get to level 11 themselves. 

The reason was simple.

One-on-one battles between humans and monsters favor monsters, but 10-to-10 battles favor humans. The more humans gathered together, the more they could be influenced by each other’s skills and items.

“We are a team. The stronger you are, the stronger I can become. You don’t have to think of me and any member of the team separately.”

In my words, Han Jun-suk’s eyes shook greatly.

“Only thought is that he shouldn’t hold back the team leader. That’s all.”

“Fine. Because of that, Kim was able to lose weight.”

“It’s because I didn’t say anything. … .”

Mr. Kim came to my side and grumbled.

“That’s been too hard for Mr. Kim to do.”

Cho Young-gu sided with his friend Han Jun-suk and all the rest of the team members approached Jun-Seok Han’s side and said a word to Mr. Kim.

“Jun-seok, I think you are thankful. If it weren’t true, it would have been blocked by a blood vessel.”

“I think the same thing.”

“I really sympathize.”

As Sua, Park Han-beom, and Yeon-kyeong said one by one, Kim’s face turned rose-red.

“To be honest… … It’s time to try a little harder now.”

Kim was unable to stand and sat down.

“These guys… … Isn’t it really too much? I am the oldest, though.”

“Ah. Don’t worry about it. Sooner or later, we’ll give you a uniform similar to that worn by your workers. If you wear it, you’ll be as healthy as you were in your 20s.”

In my words, Kim’s eyes opened wide.

“Is that for real? Tell me it’s true, boss?”

“Do what you do. As you do.”

“If it really is, I will be your son from tomorrow. really.”

“Who really is the oldest? I look young, doing what I do.”

“Hey. This is it. You look old too. Why is it hard to stand every morning these days.”

“What are you talking about? In front of the kids!”

Soo-ah closed her ear and cried. However, Yeon-kyung’s face was already burning red.
