Kenus Guild Office.
A man was watching a YouTube video.
───────────────
< A mother in one shot? The power of explosive skills ! _ You can see that the upper body is blown off... └ㄹㅇ It's 1 room behind └Who knows what skill that is └└That light is a bit similar to Light Flare among magic skills. However , the video recorded 200,000 views in one day, as if the power was too different . The man ended the hologram image displayed on the smart goggles. The hologram in front of me disappeared and Park Won-tae's face was revealed. He asked Siwoo Yoo, who reported on the YouTube video. “This is what Jeong Sang-woo did. Contact?” “I haven’t come yet.” “Um... I thought I would be contacted right away, but it turned out to be an accident.” I thought he was simply an alter ego, but to think he had this ability. The case of an F-class hunter catching a C-class monster was something that only happened in Cataclysm. Now, each guild will pay attention to Jeong Sang-woo. My head was throbbing. He rubbed his temples and opened his mouth. “I need to meet you in person. Secretary Kim.” A cold-looking beauty dressed in a suit entered. “Contact Jeong Sang-woo and set up a schedule.” “The earliest schedule is next Tuesday. Shall we set aside time for that?” "no." Park Won-tae shook his head. "Right Now." * * * The shock when the alter ego exploded was enormous. Part of the ghost platform at Sinseol-dong Station collapsed. Although he barely escaped the danger of burial, Sang-woo broke both legs and had to be hospitalized without moving. When Sang-woo first opened his eyes, he tried to get up from his seat, ignoring his casted leg. “Keuk-.” I felt a sharp pain in my legs and it was difficult to walk even a single step. In the end, Sang-woo decided to stay in the hospital for more treatment. 'If it wasn't for the legs...' Sang-woo was in a hurry because he had to find a cure for his brother. So, I tried to use the healer service that resides in the hospital. The price was outrageous. The cost of receiving the most basic Cure skill for one minute is a whopping 300,000 won. '... After all, healers are nobles.' Still, Sang-woo received the most basic cure magic for 10 minutes, spending 3 million won to recover quickly and hunt. It worked. Because the pain is pretty much gone. This drastically reduced the length of time required to be hospitalized for more than one or two months. But it wasn't 100% condition. Normal hunting would be impossible in this state. 'If I get better and hunt, it's only 200,000 to 300,000 won a day. Receiving more recovery skills and accelerating discharge is not profitable.' Sang-woo tried to calm his impatient mind and calmly thought about it. what would be in his best interest. 'But if it's an alter ego, this level of pain would be okay.' Sang-woo decided to train mana breathing in the hospital room and hunt and train his clone. Sang-woo stayed at the hospital for several days and recuperated. Sang-woo, who had been breathing mana the whole time in the hospital room, opened his eyes. I was in a good mood today. As expected, the regenerative power that began to increase little by little seemed to help him recover. 'Status window.' ────────────── [Jeong Sang-woo] [Ability level] Strength: 0.820 → 0.850 Quickness: 0.643 → 0.660 Stamina: 0.776 → 0.791 Endurance: 0.670 → 0.688 Horsepower: 1.084 → 1.153 Vitality: 0.327 → 0.336 Regeneration: 0.416 → 0.423 [Skill] [Spelling (Lv.3)/Casting type] [Enhanced alter ego (Lv.4)/Permanent type] [Family/Casting type (Lv. 3 )] .3)] [Meditation/Casting (Lv.5)] [Mana Breath/Casting (Lv.19)] [Shooting/Permanent (Lv.3)] [Running/Casting (Lv.19 )] .1)] ─────────────── As the skill of mana breathing grew rapidly, magic power increased by almost 0.1 in a few days. And there were other abilities that the clones raised while hunting. However, he is still only an F-class hunter whose average ability has not exceeded 1. '... not enough. I have to train more and get stronger and go around the upper dungeons.' At this rate of growth, we have come a long way. It was around the time when he was making up his mind to leave the hospital and return to the hunting grounds. There was a man who suddenly opened the door of the hospital room where Sang-woo was hospitalized. It was Park Won-tae, the leader of the Kanus Guild, the third largest guild in Korea. "hello. I'm sorry for coming suddenly." "it's okay. I was contacted through the secretary.” He had accepted a visit from his secretary in the morning. Seeing the famous hunter I saw on TV and awakening programs right in front of me gave me a strange feeling as if I were seeing a celebrity. But he didn't express himself too much. 'Looking at the business card I gave at that time, I must have needed something.' I thought it might be a scout proposal or something related to my alter ego. Of course, I didn't think he would personally go out to scout the F-rank Hunter. “I’m sorry for bringing you here like this. As you can see...” Sang-woo pointed to the leg that still had the cast off. “Because this is how it is.” "it's okay. You have to move first from the side you are originally unhappy with.” The head of a guild felt sorry for an F-rank Hunter. Sang-woo was trembling. “Do you have anything to say?” “I will speak directly. Jung Sang-woo, I need your alter ego.” “Is it self-immolation?” Park Won-tae explained why Sang-woo's self-immolation was necessary. The situation of the Kenus Guild Attack Team 1, isolated in Odin's Tower, and the only solution is the clone technique. Sang-woo, who had been listening to everything, felt that the situation was just right. If he was the usual Sangwoo, he would have just offered to help. However, seeing Park Won-tae asking for it, I rather calmly think about the situation. what would benefit you. “You saw it right. you're right. My alter ego is not an illusion, it is tangible.” "thank god. If so, you should be able to use your alter ego to enter Odin's Tower. Please help me. Please.” “The clone technique is the only solution…” Sang-woo continued. “I'd like to help, but contracts aren't my specialty. Please make detailed negotiations through my agent.” It is natural to leave contracts to professionals. he chuckled. Park Won-tae was taken aback by Sang-woo's unexpected reply. However, was it because of Eul’s position? “... I will. I will contact you." I immediately agreed and went back. 'Are you too arrogant? No, my nose is three.' Sang-woo tried to prick his conscience, but he soon regained his composure. After Park Won-tae left. Another guest came to the hospital room. "teacher." It was Hayeon. She is wearing a school uniform as if she came right after school. I put the fruit basket I brought on the table next to the bed in the hospital room and sat down in a chair. Sang-woo stood up in surprise at her sudden visit. “Ha Yeon-ah. You don’t have to come.” "no. sir You're sick, but you have to come visit me. How are you feeling?” “It’s okay. I'm almost done. I plan to get tested again today or tomorrow and be discharged.” “Oh, I’m glad. But isn't Sam a total weakling? Being beaten by monsters.” “Do you want to fight?” Hayeon laughed bashfully. Seeing that smile, Sang-woo was able to forget about his brother for a while and laugh and chat with her brightly smiling woman for a while. It was comfortable and enjoyable. But ironically, there was an uncomfortable feeling inside. '...But we should talk.' Sang-woo, who had been listening to Ha-yeon for a while, made up his mind and opened his mouth. “Here, Ha Yeon-ah.” “... Because my grades went up a lot, right? why?" “I’m sorry to say this, but I think I should stop tutoring.” A story that seemed too heartless to convey by phone or text. Sang-woo finally brought up the story that he had been putting off and putting off. At those words, silence fell in the hospital room. “… Because of your younger brother?” "huh. Because I have to pay for hospital bills and find a cure. Now I have to earn money in earnest. I have a father, but now I...” Hospital bills amounting to tens of millions of won a month due to the use of the mana-intensive intensive care unit. The annual salary of his father Jung Sung-hyun, an ordinary office worker, would never have been able to afford it. Sang-woo continued. “Because he is the head of our family.” Hearing that, she lowered her head without making eye contact. “I will tell you, Mrs. Are you crying...?" Hayeon's shoulders shook. Sang-woo put his hand on Ha-yeon's shoulder, thinking that Ha-yeon was crying. And offered words of comfort. “Ha Yeon-ah…don’t cry.” “... giggling. I was deceived~ I didn't cry. It was Hayeon who was playing with her fingers while lowering the lower eyelid. “I can’t help it when they say they’re going to kick a pretty student like me. what." Ha-yeon brushes her hair and pretends to be pretty. Sang-woo smiled at the sight because it was absurd. “I’m sorry to say this, but have you taken any medicine?” “Wow! do you want to die It's a joke. joke. Anyway, thank you so much sir. lol." "me too. It was my first tutoring, so thank you for following along.” "What is it. sir no, it's me now Hmmm. anyway! Like someone you'll never see, what is that!” “No, I think it’s the last time.” Sang-woo spoke seriously. Ha-yeon then slapped Sang-woo on the shoulder. Pair- "Ouch." “What is the last one? Just try not to contact me.” It was Hayeon who was glaring at me. "okay. I'll do it in my spare time." “It’s fine, brother. If I don't contact them, they will enter Kyungkook University and beat me, but..." "Kyungkuk University? But I'm thinking about dropping out of college..." "Yes? quit? No!" Hayeon screamed. “It would be a pity to quit. Take a leave of absence and come back later.” “Um… that would be better. okay." “Well, I’m also going to be a hunter later, so go ahead and reserve a seat. I also need to find a cure for my brother.” "uh? Didn't you, Hunter, give up?" “Who is it? My mom and dad say so much that I only want to go to college and become a hunter.” “...stubbornness.” "hey!" Ha-yeon tries to pinch Sang-woo's arm. Sang-woo desperately defended himself by holding the hands of Ha-yeon who was trying to pinch him. Two people confronting each other with their hands intertwined and their hands intertwined. Sangwoo gave strength to his clenched hands. The knuckles of her fingers tightened, giving Ha-yeon pain. “Ouch- stop it! Surrender Surrender!” While arguing like that, Sang-woo's first and last tutoring ended warmly (?). and in between. In front of the hospital room where the two of them were, Kim Woo-hyun was walking around. 'Shall we just go...' Kim Woo-hyun was also caught up in the shock of the suicide bombing and was hospitalized. Fortunately, Kim Woo-hyun's injuries were better than Sang-woo's. Since then, his body has recovered to some extent, and he has now visited Sang-woo's hospital room to thank him. 'No, but he's a benefactor who saved my life, so I should say thank you, right?' I hesitated several times whether to enter or not. how worried were you I finally made up my mind and carefully opened the door to the hospital room. The view of the bed at that time. It was Jeong Sang-woo and Jang Ha-yeon, holding their hands together as if they were about to hug each other (?). 'omg!' Surprised, Kim Woo-hyun closed the door without being noticed. Then, dragging the IV stand, he quickly returned to his hospital room. Kim Woo-hyun lying on the bed in the hospital room. '... is that your girlfriend? It's very pretty.' For a moment, that thought crossed my mind. However, Kim Woo-hyun soon turned off his nerves and went to sleep. * * * The next day. Sang-woo, whose leg condition was considerably better, headed to the lobby to go through discharge procedures. There was a familiar silhouette. It was Kim Woo-hyun, who looked small for a man. First, I went behind him as he was going through discharge procedures and tapped him on the shoulder. "hey." “Ommaya-!” Kim Woo-hyun is startled. Seeing that, Sang-woo was even more perplexed. “What are you so surprised about?” “I’m a Nam Director!” “I was startled that you screamed like a little girl. But are you okay?” "... uh." "okay? thank god." Sang-woo smiled and handed over his smartphone. 'what? Are you gay? No, I have a girlfriend.' Not knowing what that meant, Kim Woo-hyun was looking at his smartphone and Jeong Sang-woo alternately. “What is this?” “Ask for my number.” “Bur number?” “Yes, I want to be friends.” "... okay. What is the number?” Woohyun Kim dialed the number on his smartphone with clumsy hand movements. 'Am I... doing this?' Kim Woo-hyun, who dialed the number, felt awkward and returned the smartphone. Sang-woo, who returned the smartphone, made a phone call. Then, the phone rang in Kim Woo-hyun's pocket. "thank you. that's my number Save it.” "Ah Okay." Kim Woo-hyun answered dumbfounded and then stiffly turned around and tried to leave. “Hey, don’t ask for my name.” “Oh right. what is your name?” “Jung Woo. you?" “I am Kim Woo-hyun....” “Your name is cool. I'll contact you." "uh. And…” “And what.” “Thank you for saving me!” Kim Woo-hyun quickly turned around and left the hospital. 'He's a timid guy.' Thinking so, Sang-woo immediately turned off his mind and saved the number on his smartphone in the phone book. < Self-destruct potion maker-Kim Woo-hyun >
‘Let’s get along. men and horses.’
* * *
Two days later.
Sang-woo and Kang Jun-mo visited the Kanus Guild office building.
“Can I sign here?”
“yes. There and Yogi. Yes, it is finished.”
After consulting Kang Jun-mo and signing the contract, Sang-woo and the people from the Kanus Guild exchanged the contract.
Park Won-tae stood up and asked for a handshake.
“thank you.”
“I am.”
Sangwoo held his hand tightly.
Sang-woo benefited greatly from this contract.
The main terms of the contract were as follows.
───────────────
· A: Jeong Sang-
woo · B: Kenus Guild
1. 1 billion down payment.
2. 100 million won each time you send an alter ego into Odin’s Tower.
3. A sells the information inside Odin’s Tower to E first.
3. If A requests, the cost can be paid in the lowest level of jewels instead of cash. However, the type of lowest-level jewel must match the intention of A as much as possible, and it is paid at a rate of 10 jewels per 1 million won in cash.
5. In order to improve A’s abilities, ‘Park Won-tae’, the leader of B, guides ‘A’ for 2 hours at a time.
…
───────────────
It was a very good condition.
It was because the Kenus Guild fully accepted Sang-woo’s conditions even if it was unreasonable.
Kang Jun-mo, who was negotiating the contract in place of Sang-woo, said this.
“That means Kenus is on a shit line.”
They say the timing was good.
However, they could not agree on the conditions for Sang-woo’s biggest goal, the Elixir.
‘It would have been better if the condition was to rescue the elixir or mandragora if the first team was rescued, but that was realistically impossible.’
Those items, which might be the cure for Ji-woo, her younger sister, were almost non-existent and cost hundreds of billions of won, so it was impossible to include them in the terms of the contract.
No matter how great the Kanus Guild Attack Team 1 was, it wasn’t worth it.
Such an agreement would inevitably face opposition from within the guild, no matter how humane Park Won-tae may be.
Of course, in the first place, the expectations placed on Sang-woo’s alter ego were only about delivering relief goods, so that didn’t happen.
Still, Sang-woo was able to create a good source of regular income through this contract.
It was a condition that every time you send an alter ego, you get 100 million won.
If the Kanus Guild wants to insert one alter ego every day, Sang-woo’s expected profit for one year is a whopping 36 billion won.
‘Of course, the Kanus Guild won’t do that.’
Still, Sang-woo was happy because the idea of ‘purchasing an elixir’, which was thought to be impossible to achieve at hundreds of billions of dollars, seemed to be becoming a reality.
‘And if everyone raises their stats with jewels… S-class hunters have a chance.’
S-class hunters full of monsters with stats exceeding 100.
Their average annual salary was in the hundreds of billions.
By that time, I didn’t know if I would be able to get the elixir myself instead of buying it.
So rather than the immediate money of 100 million won or 1 billion won, Sang-woo put in a clause called ‘Jewel’ for his own growth.
‘One billion… I guess I’m a bit older now.’
Sang-woo was a little unfamiliar with himself proceeding with a contract worth billions of dollars casually.
I wonder if he felt a sense of alienation from the changed appearance of himself, who was a gamer in the corner of the room.
Now is the time to reap the fruits.
“Then can I get the down payment? With jewels.”
“I have prepared it. Please follow me.”
Park Won-tae took the lead.
The anticipation in Sang-woo’s eyes was young.
