Chapter 34 – Dungeon Clearing Contest (4)
Seo-joon and Man-cheol were on their way back after disposing of the corpses.
Of course, if I overdo it, I could go around one more dungeon, but that was literally overdoing it.
“Sea Pearl. There is no place where it does not sting.”
“mister. You worked really hard today.”
Mancheol tapped his shoulder and waist a few times and said as if he was tired of it.
“You mean we have to do this for another week? I don’t know if I’m going to die like this.”
“Do you have times when you act tough too?”
“Eomsal is a plague. Have you ever driven while making a route? Even though it looks simple, this is quite a pain in the ass, dude.”
“haha. It is.”
Seojun couldn’t help but admit it.
He was able to do this because he knew better than anyone else that not only Seojun’s raid speed, but also Mancheol’s virtues.
“But if you think about the money you earned, you won’t say that?”
“How much did you earn?”
“wait a minute. Let me do the math.”
Seo-joon took out his smartphone from inside his arms and checked the price information he had registered with the previous auction house.
After a rough calculation, the expected profit from one dungeon was about 300,000 won.
It was an extremely low amount compared to the amount of profit Seo-joon could get from a single kobold corpse that he had raided in the past, which was about 300,000 won.
This includes carrier fees, auction house fees and taxes. If you take away this and that, there is really nothing left.
However, it was not a bad profit for Seo-joon and Man-cheol, who only had to share it.
“If you exclude the auction house fee and tax… it will come out to about 7.8 million won? If you divide it 5 to 5, you can split 3.9 million won each.”
Seojun nodded his head in satisfaction.
If it was 3.9 million won, it was a profit comparable to a tolerable monthly salary, and it was about 27 million won in a week.
It’s not just 27 million won, it’s 27 million won allowed by the cause and effect of the transcendent academy.
Maybe you can earn more than that.
Suddenly, Mancheol shook his head and said,
“What is 5 on 5? Make it 7 to 3. Of course you are 7. You did all the raiding and transporting work, so why should I have 5 shame?”
Seo-joon said as if what he was talking about,
“Your uncle did the dismantling work. What an important job that is. You drew a route and even drove it.”
“So there are three. Originally, it was going to be 8 to 2. Just do what I say. Otherwise, I won’t do it tomorrow.”
At Mancheol’s determined words, Seojun kept his mouth shut.
Seo-joon persuaded Man-cheol several times, but Man-cheol did not show any momentum to break his opinion.
“… all right. Then 30% of 7.8 million won… It’s 2340000. Since the number is ambiguous, I’ll just give it 250. Is this okay?”
“what? Why are the numbers suddenly like that?”
“Just pretend you can’t win. It was a profit that I couldn’t have earned if it wasn’t for Mr. Whatever you do, think of it as the price of gas.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
Mancheol nodded as if he didn’t hate it.
Seojun smiled.
Then Seo-joon suddenly came up with a question and asked Man-cheol.
“By the way, uncle.”
“why.”
And for some reason, Mancheol answers with a not very good expression.
Seo-joon cautiously asked Man-cheol.
“You’re not really… surprised?”
“surprised? what are you surprised do you mean money? astonishing plague. Only hyeonta come to life.”
At the same time, Mancheol murmured, “I don’t know if it’s good or bad to earn money a day, which is earned by working a full month.”
Seo-joon said with a smile.
“no. no. Not money, but the image of me doing a dungeon raid today.”
“The way you do a dungeon raid?”
“yes.”
Seojun nodded.
That would be the case, and the appearance of Seo-jun today was quite different from the Seo-jun in Man-cheol’s memory.
It’s been a little over two months since I haven’t seen full season.
No matter how much Mancheol said he didn’t know much about Hunter, he couldn’t have imagined that he had changed this much in two months.
Of course, there were times when I caught a manticore on the spot, but what I saw now was a different feeling.
“Oh that.”
Mancheol also nodded as if he understood what Seojun was saying.
and say
“I saw it. you fight.”
“yes? Am I fighting?”
“It’s an academy contest.”
“Ah…”
Only then did Seo-joon understand why Man-cheol wasn’t surprised.
At that time, I told Mancheol that I was going out, but I thought he didn’t come because he didn’t contact me.
“If you come, please contact me…”
“What kind of contact. It’s just a burden on you.”
Seo-jun kept his mouth shut at Man-cheol’s words, which seemed indifferent.
Mancheol was always like this.
Mancheol always cheers behind the scenes even though his words are ticklish.
Although Seo-joon was well aware of Man-cheol’s personality, he was even more grateful to Man-cheol for some reason today.
I don’t know if that’s why, but Seo-joon told Man-cheol what he had been thinking about before.
“mister. Now that this has happened, why don’t you set up a transport company? I think it would be nice if you were my exclusive company.”
“A carrier? I? pestilence. where is the money No, more than that, are you already at that level? Enough to use a separate agency?”
“no. not now That will happen later.”
“What else do I say? Then go and tell me, dude. Stop getting sick already.”
Seojun burst out laughing.
“Think about it, though. I don’t think there will be any problem with starting a carrier if you have enough experience. I will guarantee the work.”
“Are you saying that I’m going to stick with you after all?”
“Instead, you can make the fee cheaper. Shouldn’t you touch the dragon and play football with the lich skull?”
“Sea Pearl. It is like that again.”
The two giggled.
Day 2 of the Dungeon Clearing Contest.
Seojun and Mancheol made reservations for dungeons and conducted raids without fail.
Like yesterday, Mancheol is in charge of the circulation and disassembly. Seojun was in charge of the raid and transport work.
And is it because of the speed due to this thorough division of labor and efficiency?
“Ah… you two are rumored dungeon dismantlers.”
It had only been a day since the fire and contest had been held, but in some dungeons, there were supervisors who recognized them.
“Are you a dungeon dismantler?”
“Patience. What kind of bizarre word is that?”
Then the supervisor waved his hand and said.
“Oh, it doesn’t mean anything different, it’s not just raiding dungeons, it’s called dismantling them. In fact, stories about the two of them are circulating intermittently. At first, I thought it was impossible, but I saw it with my own two eyes…”
The supervisor nodded.
Seeing the supervisor like that, Seo-joon had nothing to say and just laughed awkwardly.
“Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you. There are no other problems, so you can continue doing what you are doing.”
So, Seojun and Mancheol continued to work.
And it took about 15 minutes from the raid to the dismantling.
It was 5 minutes shorter than yesterday, which took an average of 20 minutes.
It’s a dungeon anyway, so it was there anyway, and the monsters that appeared were also similar.
The more they continued, the more they accumulated know-how, and the speed naturally increased.
As a result.
[1st place: Seojun Kim – 73 (+41)]
I was able to raid 9 more dungeons than yesterday.
Seo-jun lowered his gaze slightly to check the other participants.
[2nd place: Lee So-yeon – 36 pieces (+20)]
[3rd place: Park Jeong-ju – 21 pieces (+7)]
[4th place: Lee Ha-yeon – 17 pieces (+6)]

overwhelming performance compared to other participants.
At least, Lee So-yeon, who was in second place, was catching up.
However, it was an overwhelming gap of 37 points with Seojun, and it seemed impossible to close the gap as it is now.
“At this rate, winning won’t be a problem.”
“Sea Pearl. If you don’t win, that’s why this tournament is weird.”
Then, Mancheol answers with a dying expression.
It would have been a natural reaction since most of the day was devoted to dungeon raids.
Because even the sleeping time was reduced, Seo-Jun is also dizzy, but Man-Cheol is so sad.
At least, the money he earned was good, and he was holding onto it because of Seo-jun’s request, so it was hard work that wouldn’t be strange even if he hit him right away.
It was a fact Seo-joon was well aware of, but he couldn’t let Man-cheol rest.
Although the gap has widened, it is still only the second day of the contest.
And Seo-jun’s overwhelming performance was not only due to Seo-jun’s raid speed, but also Man-cheol’s movement plan.
If there is no full season, maybe 60% of the current grade will be only.
Then Seo-jun thought that it would have been a pretty fierce fight with Lee So-yeon, who is now in second place.
‘It was good that I proposed to you.’
Again, an unforgettable contest.
Seojun said with a smile.
“There are five days left. Cheer up, mister!”
“Sick. I won’t tell you to rest, even if you die.”
“Instead, if you win, I’ll give you a big treat. Oh, how about the 2 million won adult drink you mentioned the other day?”
“Can you afford it? Do you eat something really expensive?”
“sure. I’ll buy them all. Bring Suyeon too. I want to see your face for the first time in a while.”
“He’s still underage!”
Seo-joon and Man-cheol broke up laughing like that.
but.
Things did not go so smoothly.
Day 3 of the Dungeon Clearing Contest.
Seojun and Mancheol started raiding and dismantling today.
“…”
The time when I was about to leave for the next dungeon, watching another overseer Hei ascend without fail.
“Um…”
Mancheol’s expression suddenly distorted.
Seo-joon asked Man-cheol why he wanted to.
“Why are you like that?”
“Take a look at this.”
Then Mancheol showed Seojun the screen he was watching.
It was only then that Seo-joon, who received the screen, could understand why Man-cheol had such an expression.
“Aren’t there any dungeons that can be reserved?”
There was no dungeon to choose from around the dungeon that Seo-joon had reserved.
At least the nearest dungeon was at least an hour away.
Seojun looked at the dungeon list in more detail.
It could have been a mere coincidence.
However, to say it was a coincidence, there was a severe phenomenon in which reservations were concentrated only near the place where Seo-joon made a reservation.
“Does it smell slightly?”
“Iknow, right.”
Seojun nodded.
“It seems like a check is coming in anyway… Damn it. There are so many different things that get in the way.”
“It is not certain yet. Let’s start with the dungeons we can go to.”
Seo-joon returned the smartphone to Man-cheol and got on the truck.
However, the same phenomenon occurs in the next dungeon and the next dungeon.
I was forced to spend most of my time traveling.
[1st place: Kim Seo-joon – 83 (+10)]
[2nd place: Lee So-yeon – 61 (+25)]
[3rd place: Lee Ha-yeon – 31 (+14)]
[4th place: Park Jeong-ju – 30 (+9) )]
Because of that, I could only do 10 dungeon raids on the 3rd day.
“It sounds really strange.”
After hearing the situation, Seoyoon also nodded as if it was quite strange.
However, he seems to be reluctant to say that he is not sure yet.
“It’s not weird, that’s for sure. Lee So-yeon. It’s that guy’s trick.”
On the other hand, Man-cheol pointed to Lee So-yeon as if he was almost certain.
Of course, there is no evidence of this, but I could tell from the circumstances that it was Lee So-yeon’s trick.
And in fact, Seoyoon also kept quiet, but it wasn’t much different from Mancheol’s thoughts.
“It is possible to know who has reserved which dungeon through the app, but it is difficult to determine with just that. First, I will file a complaint with the organizers.”
Seoyoon said that, but it wasn’t the way she expected it.
It was because I knew what kind of answer I would hear.
“Patience.”
Mancheol also grumbled that he didn’t know that.
Seo-joon picked up his smartphone and checked the rankings of the participants once again.
[1st place: Kim Seo-joon – 83 (+10)]
[2nd place: Lee So-yeon – 61 (+25)]
[3rd place: Lee Ha-yeon – 31 (+14)]
[4th place: Park Jeong-ju – 30 (+9) )]
83 Seo Jun and 61 Lee So-yeon.
Followed by 3rd and 4th.
So far, it was Seojun’s unrivaled move, but the contest still had four days left.
If things like today are repeated, the gap will narrow in an instant.
If you’re wrong, you could miss out on winning.
“mister. I’m sorry, but I think we’ll have to put off dismantling until we can close the gap.”
“okay. First of all, winning is important. never mind me But no matter how fast you raid, the distance can’t be helped. I’ll try to organize the route as much as possible, but if there’s an
obstruction like this…” Seo-joon nodded at Man-cheol’s mixed worries.
It was also because the physical distance could not be reduced unless the axis method was used.
“That’s what I thought.”
Seo-joon continued to speak with his eyes shining.
“How about doing this?”
Day 4 of the Dungeon Clearing Contest.
People were huddled together in a park in Seoul.
They were talking to each other with their smartphones in their hands.
“Hey, it’s nice to talk to everyone, but I’m nervous. Because when a guy named Seojun Kim makes a reservation for a dungeon, you have to reserve the dungeons around him.”
“Don’t worry. It’s because I’m staring at you.”
“Can’t we just do it like yesterday?”
People continued to talk.
But that guy named Seojun Kim. What do you do to be able to raid dungeons like that?
See if you have good skills.
Is this possible with only skill?
Or maybe he was cheating too. After all, what do we know?
Well… thanks to that, it’s nice to receive and eat soybean paste.
belt ring.
notification sound then.
“Everyone focus! That bastard reserved the dungeon!”
At the same time as someone shouted, a man climbed up on a bench and shouted.
“Remember! Just like yesterday, I’m making reservations for all the dungeons an hour away from him. If it suddenly rumbles, it will be suspicious, so divide it during the 10 minutes he raids!”
“okay. You know how to do it.”
“That’s true. Make sure to deposit the money.”
And people who operate smartphones.
however.
“uh…?”
“what?”
Suddenly, a strange reaction erupted from one side.
The man on the bench tilted his head and asked.
“Why are you doing this?”
“No, this… Can I make a reservation like this?”
“Can I make a reservation? What do you mean?”
The man who received the man’s question showed his smartphone screen and said.
“The dungeon he reserved. Is this right next to the dungeon Lee So-yeon booked?”
“what?”
The man on the bench almost took out the man’s smartphone.
Then, right next to the name Kim Seo-joon, the name Lee So-yeon appeared.
“what? Then if we book all the surrounding dungeons, won’t Lee So-yeon be able to raid as well?”
“Is that so? Wouldn’t it just be okay if we canceled the reservation when Lee So-yeon finished the raid?”
“Didn’t you know that according to the rules, if you reserve a dungeon, you cannot cancel it for 10 hours unless you complete the raid? It’s not like we went to a raid for nothing.”
Everyone kept their mouths shut. It was certainly because the regulations had such a restriction.
This is also true because without such restrictions, the competition itself could be ruined by repeating cancellations and reservations.
“Damn it!”
The man on the bench hurriedly called somewhere.
