< Dungeon destruction (1) >
A few days after Sang-woo was discharged.
The safe house in the basement of Sangwoo’s mansion in Yongsan has been completed.
“Now look around.”
Duvert corrected his hard hat and called for Sang-woo.
The dusty work clothes he was wearing made me feel that he put a lot of thought into this work.
“…was it just a family home? oh my god.”
Sang-woo admired the interior of the safe house.
The safe house located underground was 10m thick and surrounded by super-reinforced mana alloy.
Therefore, upon hearing that story, Sang-woo remembered the dark and gloomy air-raid shelters he had seen in the movie.
However, from his point of view, there was no big difference in the interior or structure of a normal home.
“On the outside, but internally, they are structurally interlocked to ensure strong durability. Each room is made of a mana alloy that has strong mana absorption and is very resistant to physical shock. In particular, the material of the MT-1002 series, which is rumored to be a luxury product among mana alloys, was used, and the arrangement and structure of the room were also designed in a shock-resistant form by applying a honeycomb structure…
” started talking about it.
After hearing his words, Sang-woo let them go and looked around the house.
A spacious living room, kitchen, bathroom, terrace, and even an artificial outdoor garden.
All Safe Houses were composed of two floors, and below the living space were all spaces for various entertainment facilities such as a swimming pool, VR game room, movie theater, club, and karaoke room.
In addition, even though it was underground without sunlight, the lighting was installed in every corner, so it was very bright.
‘That’s what was advertised on TV. A mana light that is said to be semi-permanent. There is nothing missing.’
Of course, no furniture was brought in, so it looked almost empty.
‘Furniture, you just have to buy something and fill it up.’
So, Sang-woo checked all the safe houses in a very satisfied state.
“thank you. Mr. Dubert.”
“Heh heh not. It was me who was always picking up small pieces of equipment, but designing a building for the first time in a long time gave me a new feeling. Anyway, the safe house has a well-made support, so you can tell the construction company who will design the ground floor about it later.”
“yes. All right. By the way, Mr. Dubert’s work is finished, so now you want to go sightseeing, right? There are some great restaurants I know of.”
“Um… Unfortunately, I think we have to go next time. It’s been a while since I’ve been emptying my company studio, and while building the Safe House, I also came up with the idea to restore the Earthquaker. So I guess I’ll have to get back to work soon.”
“Oh, I see. Too bad. all right. Shall I send it to you right now?”
“Then thank you for me. Please.”
“Yes~”
Sang-woo opened the sub-space and moved Duvert to Heritage.
That’s how Duvert left.
‘Good. Now, if you build only the ground floor, My Home is complete.’
It was to build the perfect home of his dreams.
Although he had a lot of money, having a house to settle in was another matter, but that dream was finally just around the corner.
‘First of all, the construction company contacted the place they were looking for and started working… Rather than that, the dungeon is the problem.’
Sang-woo remembered the dungeons around the Safe House.
The house he is currently building is located in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu.
It was one of the representative wealthy villages before the cataclysm.
However, after the cataclysm, most of the country house owners were vacant due to the structure of the building, which was vulnerable to monster invasion.
Above all, because of the four dungeons located inside Hannam-dong, real estate prices plummeted.
‘Of course, real estate prices have stabilized and risen now, but.’
Now, security has improved considerably, so the probability of being attacked by monsters in Seoul is very low.
Therefore, the geographical advantage of Hannam-dong, located in the middle of Seoul, played a part in maintaining real estate prices.
‘Still, there are dungeons, so I’m worried. I’ve moved my family to a nice house, but it’s a big deal if a monster break breaks.’
There is a safe house and there are security guards, so there is no big danger, but people don’t know that it’s a job.
Families could be hurt over something really trivial.
So Sang-woo decided to get rid of the buds that would cause such an unfortunate incident in the first place.
‘I have to destroy all the dungeons around my house.’
He remembered the woman who terrorized the dungeon core while hunting in the portal to the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China.
She completely destroyed the portal by destroying the dungeon core.
‘Did you say it’s an anti-system? I don’t condone their terrorism, but I think I’m okay with the idea of getting rid of the portals and finding peace.’
In the current world, portals and dungeons were maintained to some extent without being destroyed, and monsters emerging from them were periodically hunted.
The banner put forward by the World Hunter Association is that the portal must be maintained for research and the growth of the world as a whole.
However, the anti-system rebelled against this social system.
< If all the portals are removed, the danger will disappear in the first place! >
was their argument.
However, many Hunter Associations ignored the opinion of the Anti-System, which was a minority, and they practiced their ideology by secretly terrorizing and destroying dungeons.
And their image of coercive practice was very bad.
Something that has already been defined as a terrorist or a social evil.
‘But thanks to that, I knew that the portal would completely disappear when the dungeon core was destroyed. I should use it.’
That’s why Sang-woo was thinking of meeting the head of the Korean Hunter Association.
Can’t we just find the dungeon core and destroy it?
Not like that.
These dungeons are already low-level dungeons that have some demand.
Because of this, many hunters were periodically hunting inside the dungeon.
What if Sang-woo destroys the dungeon core in that situation?
‘Becoming a lost child in multiple dimensions.’
That’s why Sang-woo’s plan was to officially obtain a demolition order and destroy the portal.
And for this, Sang-woo was scheduled to visit the Korea Hunter Association with Jun-mo Kang today.
At that time, a report came in from the alter ego that it had arrived at the Hunter Association.
‘Okay, you’ve arrived. Shall I focus on it?’
Sang-woo focused his consciousness on his alter ego, who would have moved to the Hunter Association with Kang Jun-mo.
* * *
“Um… Jeong Sang-woo Hunter. The request is understandable, but I think it will be a bit difficult to listen.”
Oh Byeong-hoon, president of the Korea Hunter Association, expressed disapproval.
As expected, Sang-woo, who connected to his alter ego, asked.
“I did think you would probably refuse. I’m just curious as to why. Why?”
“As you know, there are quite a few monster by-products from the four dungeons in Hannam-dong. Even if it’s just a year’s supply, it’s a considerable level, and the economic effect that it ripples through can’t be ignored. In addition, because of the geographical advantage, many hunters use dungeons, and if a forced demolition order is issued… public opinion will not be good.”
“Hmm… How about a monetary reward? With a year’s budget for each dungeon.”
Yes, it’s low-level dungeons between F-D ranks.
Because he was Sang-woo, who had been investigating with Kang Jun-mo, he knew that the economic effect of these low-level dungeons in a year was at most 10 to 20 billion.
‘Catch at least 10 billion each and 40 billion. It wouldn’t be bad to just give away 40 billion and go for safety.’
40 billion won.
However, from Sang-woo’s point of view, it was just a number that could be earned in a few months.
‘Because I’m living safety for the rest of my life.’
That’s why I put in this deal.
And Kang Jun-mo, who was next to him, helped.
“As you know, cash right now is more important than small amounts of money in the future. You can get your money rolling by reinvesting it. Above all, isn’t the economic effect attributed to the country or the Hunter Association? Since you are going to give it to the Hunter Association, Hunter Jung Sang-woo’s proposal will be a really good choice for the Hunter Association.”
“Ghmm… but a little…”
Oh Byung-hoon thought hard about whether he was worried.
Silence flows for a while like that.
He opened his mouth as if he remembered something.
“Then how about this?”
“Which one?”
“It is to help restore the North Korean region.”
The name of love and hate, North Korea.
At the time of the cataclysm, North Korea defended against the monsters through an army equipped with numerous conventional weapons.
However, thanks to the appearance of S-class monsters that conventional weapons did not work and the nuclear bomb exploded in the country, North Korea brought itself into crisis.
Above all, the leadership, who did not properly grasp the situation at the time, plotted a rebellion against the Kim regime, and due to this chaotic internal situation, the organizational system collapsed and they walked the path to self-destruction.
Since then, North Korea has turned into a den of monsters.
At the time of the cataclysm, most of the monsters had been driven out with the help of world hunters, but the whole thing was in ruins, so it was impossible to restore it.
Most of the portals throughout North Korea are also in a state of monster break.
Therefore, perhaps thanks to the mines and guards that existed along the Armistice Line, the fact that the monsters no longer moved south was enough to detect.
Of course, there were occasional expeditions in Korea or large-scale aerial bombardments, and there are often raid groups or guilds that secretly go to North Korean dungeons, so the number did not increase significantly.
And now, Oh Byeong-hoon brought up the idea of recovering such a dangerous North Korean area.
“Recovery of the North Korean region?”
“yes. In fact, the above has already been planning the restoration of the North Korean region for a long time. However, the implementation has been suspended so far because of the low profitability compared to the cost. However, starting this year, we plan to carry out the restoration step by step in the direction of removing the portals and monsters prevalent in North Korea.”
“Ah, I understand. In a word, you are asking for help in defeating the monsters in North Korea.”
“you’re right. Also, I would like to ask for your help in setting up guards around the dungeon portals that are likely to be profitable in North Korea. How are you? If you help us, we will approve the demolition order to remove the four dungeons in Hannam-dong.”
In addition, permission for administrative disposition from the competent administrative office was required, but with the permission of the head of the Hunter Association, seeking the rest of the permission was a piece of cake.
In other words, if this proposal was accepted, there would be no problem with demolition.
Sang-woo met Kang Jun-mo’s eyes.
He nodded quietly.
‘Not bad.’
Kang Jun-mo’s eyes seemed to say that.
Sang-woo had the same idea.
He answered Oh Byeong-hoon’s suggestion.
“Okay, President. We will help you recover the North Korean region. You do.”
“Oh really? If Hunter Jeong Sang-woo can help, it will be a great help. All right. We will approve it right away.”
After that, things went smoothly.
Sang-woo and Kang Jun-mo obtained the approval of the Korea Hunter Association’s demolition order and went to the Yongsan-gu Office to apply for an administrative disposition to demolish the dungeon.
Occasionally, there were cases where, like Sang-woo, an administrative disposition for portal removal was requested due to problems such as business and construction, so there were no major problems as the relevant procedures were prepared.
* * *
A few days after that.
There were only a few days left before the start of university.
Sang-woo was able to safely finish the dungeon demolition case thanks to Kang Jun-mo handling it for him.
But there were some problems.
“The dungeon in Namsan Park is owned by the Comet Guild? Did you know that dungeons cannot be privately owned?”
“Externally, but in practice, there are frequent cases where the guild illegally monopolizes and uses them. The same goes for the meat ginseng dungeon in Namsan Park. So I think you should have a talk with the Comet Guild.”
Although all administrative dispositions for demolition have been received, it is necessary to talk about the dungeon exclusively occupied by the Comet Guild.
Sang-woo gradually became annoyed.
‘Ha… I thought it was over. This is really annoying.’
At least thanks to Kang Jun-mo’s help, all the minor procedures were easily resolved, but even this important task could not be entrusted to him.
In the end, he had to step in on his own.
“I can’t. Let’s go right away and negotiate.”
“All right. However, it is difficult right now and we have to schedule a meeting with the Comet Guild.”
“Okay, agent. Then, please schedule a meeting.”
“yes.”
Fortunately, when Kang Jun-mo contacted the Hyeseong Guild, they were able to schedule a meeting that day.
“The Comet Guild already knew about the administrative disposition of dungeon demolition. Perhaps over the past few days, the Comet Guild has thoroughly prepared for negotiations.”
“It doesn’t matter. I already got permission to demolish it.”
“Haha, it’s alright. Still, I think you should prepare your mind.”
“yes. Do not worry. Shall we depart then?”
“yep. Then we will move right away.”
Sang-woo, no, Sang-woo’s alter ego got on board in Kang Jun-mo’s new luxury sedan.
Kang Jun-mo and his alter ego start like that.
At the same time, Sang-woo was already moving other alter egos.
‘We have to destroy them all while negotiating with the Comet Guild. Let’s see… It’s a low-level dungeon, so sending one at a time would be enough.’
Finally, the effect of the enforcement of the administrative disposition has been activated immediately.
Therefore, while Sang-woo was negotiating with the Hyeseong Guild, he had the intention of destroying all 3 of the 4 dungeons.
And the clones followed his orders and ran to the three dungeons located in Hannam-dong.
PABABABABAK-!!!
The three alter egos arrived at the dungeon at breakneck speed.
each one in charge.
As we approached the dungeon entrance, we saw a guard post.
And when alter ego No. 12 arrived at one of them, the soldiers stationed at the guards pretended to know.
“Are you here? Jeong Sang-woo Hunter.”
“yes. I came with an order to demolish the dungeon.”
The soldier smiled brightly at the words of Sang-woo, who connected to No. 12.
It seemed that he was overjoyed at the fact that his boring work place would be destroyed(?).
“Ha ha yes. I know. We have already received an order from the upper level and have been instructed to evacuate inside the dungeon.”
“Aha, then can I wait a bit?”
“Yeah, there are two teams left. If you wait a little bit, everything will come out. Oh, there he is.”
As soon as the words ran out, about a dozen hunters came out through the portal.
“To leave suddenly.”
“What is going on?”
“uh? It’s normal!”
“Where are you? Oh really.”
“Wow, that’s cool.”
“Should I ask for your autograph?”
Regardless of the chatter of the hunters who had exited, Sang-woo asked the soldier in charge.
“Is everything out?”
“yes. All Hunters who have entered have now exited. You may come in.”
“Okay. Then please do not allow anyone to enter the portal.”
“yep!”
Alter Ego 12 runs like the wind as soon as the horse falls and disappears into the portal.
and after a while
The portal, which was brightly shining in various colors, lost its light and faded.
Sueuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
After a while, it completely disappeared.
