048. Contract (3)
“I think I will decide whether or not to join the management team according to the terms of the contract.”
The challenger management team was quite suitable for achieving what I wanted at the moment.
Do we have to say that we agree with each other?
Lee Ha-yeon, the team leader of the newly created ‘Challenger Management Team’, has to embrace the challenger.
A challenger like me had to be able to use the dungeon and not be too tied to the guild at the same time.
As I had to return to the tower in a hurry, it was better to sign a contract in advance.
‘That way, when I need it later, I’ll be able to use the guild’s dungeon right away…’
Lee Ha-yeon nodded and opened her mouth to see if she recognized that fact.
“As expected…then can you tell me what conditions you want?”
It’s a condition…
“First of all, I’d like you to give me the right to refuse the convocation order coming down from the guild.”
“What else?”
“It seems that actions in the tower will not be involved at all, and Baek should be able to use the guild’s dungeon.”
“Hmm… I think we can handle refusing the summons order and not getting involved in the action within the team leader’s authority. Just…”
“Just?”
“Baekeun Guild’s dungeon is not that easy to use. Of course, if there is a track record, the use
of the dungeon will be easily permitted…”
understood.
Baek is the guild’s dungeon, meaning that only a few can suck honey.
‘That’s probably only promising or promising hunters.’
That’s a level that can’t be solved with the authority of the team leader.
But…
“It would be a different story if I let the superiors know that I have the skills to use the dungeon.”
“…You know better than I thought. yes you are right Things change when there are results.”
“Then can you protect me from refusing to be summoned and not getting involved in the actions in the tower?”
“Sure. Because the ‘Challenger Management Team’ was created to support challengers.”
The challenger management team’s proposal was more attractive than I thought.
‘I thought it might be an unreasonable request…’
Perhaps because of the relationship on the 4th floor, Lee Ha-yeon seemed to be trying to listen to my request as much as possible.
Should I say that I can understand and embrace whatever it is?
My heart started to tilt to some extent, and I opened my mouth soon.
“I will join the challenger management team as long as I can make a record of using the dungeon.”
Lee Ha-yeon smiled wide as if she was surprised by those words.
“Is that true?”
“I’ll have to see the contract tomorrow and decide, but for now, that’s it.”
Anyway, as long as I can achieve what I want, there are no bad conditions for me.
He readily agreed under such thorough calculations, but Lee Ha-yeon’s reaction was not.
“…I’ll make sure you don’t regret this decision.”
There was sincerity in his voice, which seemed to be moved.
“I would appreciate it if you could prepare to make results right after the contract is over.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. You should be able to prepare the gate you want to attack in no time.”
At those words, I felt satisfied and burst out laughing inside.
‘Things are going better than expected.’
Was it because he achieved most of what he wanted within a day after returning home?
The second return felt more satisfying than I thought.
***
The next day, I went straight into a cafe, where we were supposed to meet.
‘It would have been nice if there was an environment where we could sign a contract yesterday…’
Unfortunately, that’s too much greed.
Lee Ha-yeon has Lee Ha-yeon’s schedule, and it is not easy to prepare a gate that can be attacked.
In general, scheduling a gate attack takes quite a bit of time.
However, Lee Ha-yeon was able to prepare such a gate in one day because she is in the position of team leader with that much ability.
Time is precious, but I’m not the only one.
‘There’s still some time before we return, so there’s no need to be in such a hurry.’
Yesterday things worked out better than I thought, so I felt relaxed.
Since most of what I wanted was achieved, there is nothing strange to think of it as a short break.
After waiting for a while, someone entered the quiet cafe.
Lee
Ha-yeon was the woman who entered with her daughter… her long, straight hair slipped back.
She soon looked around, spotted me, and came over startled and sat down.
“Han Seong-yoon, are you sure you’ve been waiting all this time?”
“What have you been waiting for? I have more time than I thought.”
“I came prepared early, too… This is disrespectful.”
“No way. It looks like you’ve been busy.”
I’m not exaggerating, Lee Ha-yeon’s complexion wasn’t very good.
Her eyes were watery, and her long, straight hair was still damp, probably because she hadn’t had enough time to dry her hair.
Traces of it were left here and there, as if to prove that he had been so busy.
“Haha… is that so? You might look a bit overworked.”
Lee Ha-yeon said that with a bitter smile, and then took out the documents.
“try reading this please. This is Han Seong-yoon’s contract that I wrote yesterday. The one next to it is an industry standard contract, so compare it.”
He accepted the contract, opened it, and began to read it.
Palak palak…
‘Wow what is this?’
My eyes widened when I saw the terms of the contract written in it.
‘The basic annual salary is 500 million, and even the things I get in the dungeon are all my own.’
Even though money was said to be irrelevant, they seemed to have paid a lot of attention to all of the unconventional conditions.
Hunters usually sell magic stones and all by-products inside the dungeon through guilds.
As a result, it became customary for the guild to take some of the manastones according to the contract ratio….
There is no such thing in this contract, and all the by-products inside the dungeon are mine.
In other words, there is no guild taking anything.
It didn’t make sense if you consider the original hunters’ contract terms.
‘The convocation order can be rejected at any time, and there is no interference at all in the tower
.
It’s not satisfying, it’s to the point of astonishment.
It was written that it could be used conditionally about the most important ‘use of dungeons’.
‘Can I use all the dungeons owned by the guild if I clear the C-class dungeon in solo play…?’
That means….
Soon, the level of the gate that Lee Ha-yeon will give me for proof is also C-level.
I thought it would be nice to be able to use a higher level dungeon, but…
‘I’m lucky.’
After reviewing the contract, I smiled and opened my mouth.
“There doesn’t seem to be a problem with the contract.”
“I’m glad then. It’s worth the hard work.”
Lee Ha-yeon smiled proudly, and then asked a question.
“By the way, don’t you have a hunter license? If not, I will temporarily give you a gate pass…”
“No, I have. When I returned before, I went to the Hunter Association and won it.”
“That’s nice. Now, even in the association, it is difficult to obtain a hunter license because they are looking for challengers with their eyes on them.”
Knowing how to do that and obtaining a license in advance was a pretty good number.
‘There’s nothing wrong with preoccupying anything.’
If it hadn’t been for that, it might have been a pretty annoying situation even now.
Immediately after signing the contract, I looked at Lee Ha-yeon.
“Since the contract is over, can we go to the gate for proof of performance right away?”
“Sure. There is a C-class gate nearby, so I will go there.”
“All right.”
“I will be there as an observer, so that doesn’t matter, right?”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”
I got up from my seat and smiled lightly.
‘This is probably the last dungeon raid this time.’
The second return was already being completed.
***
Mt. Cheonbo in Nogyang-dong, Uijeongbu.
“I have arrived. There is a gate here.”
It wasn’t long before Lee Ha-yeon got out of the car and said that.
I, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also got out of the car and put on my equipment.
‘It’s a gate in a mountain area…’
It was a bit unusual, but I soon drew attention and moved after Lee Ha-yeon.
Even if it is a temporary gate, should it be called a gate?
There were several managers attached to the gate of Cheonbosan.
Of course…
“Ah, Baek must have been the guild’s Lee Ha-yeon. Confirmed.”
I was easily identified, so I was able to easily pass by those I managed.
That’s it…
“Well, I’m telling you this before going inside…”
“…?”
“If you go inside, I won’t assist you unless there are special circumstances.”
“For the sake of fairness, you’re only going to be an observer.”
“yes that’s right. Even if the performance is not proven, it will be difficult.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
It is not that I have overcome difficulties with the help of others before.
So it didn’t matter much to me whether someone helped or not.
Lee Ha-yeon, who saw me on the 4th floor, would know better.
“I knew you would.”
Lee Ha-yeon nodded in satisfaction and briefly explained.
“Once armed and inside, the proof of performance begins. Since it’s a temporary gate, you’ll catch the boss and come out, so you’ll have to keep going until the end.”
I didn’t feel like I needed to hear any more explanations.
There was nothing special.
“All right.”
In the end, all you have to do is annihilate all enemies as you have done so far.
***
Ugh…!
After passing through the gate and entering the dungeon, I saw a hill full of grass.
“hmm.”
It could be seen as a bit of a difficult terrain.
Dungeons with open stages like hills progress in such a way that monsters swarm around them.
That’s why the upcoming fight could be a melee…
‘If you think you have to protect the person behind you, it might be a bit difficult.’
Although he is an observer, Lee Ha-yeon is not excluded from being targeted by monsters.
Considering her powerlessness, she wouldn’t be fighting in a very good environment.
At that time, Lee Ha-yeon also opened her mouth after receiving my gaze as if she realized what was going on.
“I have nothing to worry about. There are artifacts supported by the guild. When attacked, the shield will automatically activate.”
As if there was nothing to worry about, Lee Ha-yeon showed off a necklace with a blue jewel hanging around her neck.
“Then there is no situation that I should protect…”
“There probably isn’t. It’s called the ‘Empress Necklace’, so it’s an A-class item… because it absorbs a lot of shock. It has a slight stealth effect.”
“That’s great. Thanks to you, I can fight without worry.”
“Oh, of course, if aggro is attracted, it can be seen as helpful, so it will be quite far away.”
It was then.
Key eh eh eh…!
I turned my head at the sound of scratching cries that came from around me.
“Oh…”
There was a turtle with black flames spewing out of its mouth and shining eyes.
‘Is it a flame maw?’
It was a pretty nasty monster that some people even called ‘Little Devil’.
It looked like a turtle, but it moved quickly and the fire it spewed out was powerful.
Even though their durability is better than most monsters,
they are shunned.
Rather, in such a situation, I felt happy and grinned.
Now, the time has come to grow like a storm again.
