Episode 129. Goinmul Corporation General Meeting of Shareholders (2)
“The contents of the General Meeting of Shareholders are simple, although the words were grandiose. Information that I knew while I was in the tower. All you have to do is report to me the trends of where you belong.”
Anyway, the people here were forced to obey through the oath of allegiance or the ‘stigma of love’. The interview was intended to be conducted individually.
This is because building a wall of information between each other served as an advantage in the future.
‘More than anything else, if employees share too much information, they may have useless thoughts.’
If your stomach and back are tingling, you will think about something else.
What is the welfare of the company?
What is the salary of the employees next to you?
Etc.
There was the danger of some very scandalous and nasty back stories coming and going.
In order to prevent all of that, you need to thoroughly isolate each other.
you are the most capable If you can make them believe that you are the most useful among you
, and if you can make them envy and envy you…
then you will be able to create a perfectly controlled snitch society.
‘Whoops. I’ll suck the sweet water in and brew it and eat it about 13 more times before handing over the bones as sweet potato snacks.’
I intended to roll it very thoroughly as long as I could breathe.
Just as King Sejong treated Hwang Hee-jeong-seung.
***
Jinhyeok went under the rock and made a suitable spot.
Two flat stones to use as chairs.
Two cups of tea brewed from roughly plucked grass around.
That’s enough.
Am This is a luxurious entertainment venue comparable to Ohsung Electronics’ shareholders’ meeting.
[The 2-star barrier ‘Dimension Severance’ is activated!] An
isolated world unfolded as sight and sound were blocked.
After a while, the first batter, Ho Tae-sik, came in.
He looks very nervous, as if he had come for a job interview.
“I’m not interested in trivial gossip, so tell me only the big things. What happened in the meantime at the Awoken Society?”
“Ah, not too long ago, the president of the Association, Han Sang-jin, had a birthday.”
birthday?
Jinhyuk’s brow wrinkled slightly.
What’s the old man saying about his birthday? How about making birthday bread cool?
“Is it over?”
“Oh no. It can’t be! This is information that came out recently… In fact, due to the appearance of the Tower of Ordeal this time, house prices in Seocho, Gangnam are expected to rise significantly. Demand for real estate is explosive as players from all over the country flock to it. If you wish, the area to be reconstructed in advance… hehe.”
What is it?
this is increasingly obnoxious
Now, while doing it, a public official releases inside information to speculate in real estate?
Do you mean to receive a tax audit sooner or later?
“Ugh. There isn’t much good information out there. Probably our Taesik assistant manager. You may have to leave sooner or later.”
The company is stumbling these days.
We plan to drastically reduce unnecessary personnel.
Then, the tone of Ho Tae-shik’s voice changed at once.
“Wait a minute! 7th floor!”
“The 7th floor?”
“Yes…yes! Jang Seok Jang, who leads the Dangun Guild’s 2nd raid this time, said that he was attacking the 7th floor, but his progress was slow because of the intense cold. what is it? They say you can resist the cold if you get some feathers.”
If it’s a feather… maybe?
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
Whoa.
Now some useful information has popped up.
‘I’m thinking of getting a phoenix feather to prepare for the cold on the 7th floor.’
If it is a feather that raises the body temperature due to the protection of the flame, the raid team will be able to fight smoothly even in the severe cold.
The Dangun Guild aimed for that and headed to the northern end of the 7th floor.
‘Befitting Korea’s strongest guild, it looks like they have some information on how to conquer the 7th floor.’
Besides, if it’s Jang Eun-seok… I’ve seen it once.
A player who was discussing with the announcer about the 4th floor.
‘He’s the guy I surprised by suddenly triggering a zombie wave.’
Of all the many rankers, the fact that he was chosen as the engineering chief
…
this thing is going to be fun
It wasn’t that he had a grudge against Dangun, but it would be polite to raise a spoon when the table was set to this extent.
Jinhyeok traces his memories of the 7th floor and learns the current level of the Dangun Guild and how to obtain the Phoenix Feather. And even drawing it all on one drawing paper.
I literally started to envision a scenario considering all the variables.
***
Next up was Takeshi.
It’s quite nice to meet this guy after a long time…
“Ohhh…! It is truly an infinite honor for the noblest being in the tower to call such a lowly human…!”
Damn, cancel what you just said.
“It would be nice if you could just keep your mouth shut.”
I feel like I’m going to die from embarrassment, so please stop using weird rhetoric.
“Kuh hmm! sorry.”
“It’s done. Of course you got what I asked for at the temple, right?”
“of course. How dare I make a mistake when this is someone’s request?”
Takeshi carefully activated the subspace inventory.
It was a sword imbued with strange energy that appeared along with the brilliant mist.
Appearance with the blades on both sides dyed white.
The sword made of iron has been preserved for a long time, but its sharpness has not faded.
That’s right.
This sword, called the Heavenly Cloud Sword, was one of the most important sacred relics in Japan.
‘I have a pair of dragon swords and fangs, so I won’t be able to use them, but…’
Exchanging them with other items of a similar grade will do their part toktok.
There was one thing I really wanted at this point.
An item that cannot be obtained by ordinary means.
“Thank you. Make sure you use it well.”
This is sincere.
If he had really taken Takeshi’s life in the temple, he would have regretted it forever.
good.
Now the next thing…
Jinhyeok, who sent Takeshi out, called Min Jeong-woo and Lee Yu-ri, who were waiting outside.
The two handed over some useful information along with the trivial stories that had happened in the meantime.
After that, Kim Hee-woong gave a regular report on the operation of the Black Crow Guild.
Andrea also had a conversation about the ‘mental ward’ on the 5th floor.
“The Colosseum and the mines were eventually pierced, but we are in good health. Thanks to that, players are also reluctant to enter the psychiatric ward.”
“That is fortunate.”
Certainly, like a boss monster, Andrea was incomparably stronger than before.
Alice’s advice must have played a big part.
If you continue to defend your territory in this way and grow your power, someday you will be able to exert your influence on a much higher floor than the 5th floor.
‘It’s still a long way from reaching the level I want.’
okay.
He had to become a presence that would not be pushed aside even on the upper floors of the tower, rather than struggling on single-digit stairs.
That’s why I entrusted the 5th floor to Andrea.
“Thank you for coming a long way as part of it. Then see you later.”
“no. He is Jin-hyeok, who made me live my second life.
Andrea politely bowed her head.
Oh… I hope someone living in a rented room in the ring over there sees this.
It’s the boss level of the same tower, but how are they different?
[what! You insulted me!]
Braham’s ring vibrated at the perfect timing.
Jinhyeok pretended not to hear and stuffed his ring-wearing hand into his pocket.
Does this guy even use the law of interest? What happened is getting more and more clever.
A few minutes later, the last batter, Melena, came in.
“…”
A face that was hardened with a lot of tension.
After being brutally beaten on the 3rd floor, Jinhyeok was more feared than any other subject to Melena.
In addition, since he was even marked with the ‘stammer mark’, he had no choice but to stay still.
“haha. don’t be too nervous Sit comfortably. There is also tea there, so please have some.”
It smells bitter, but it’s okay to eat it.
It seems to have a small amount of poison, though.
“…thank you.”
Melena cautiously sat down.
When I first came here, I thought I had recovered some of my painful memories.
The moment I met Jinhyeok right in front of me, my whole body trembled like a rat standing in front of a snake.
Trauma once experienced is not easily healed.
When the relationship between the superior and the subordinate was firmly established, Jinhyeok brought up the main topic.
“Are there any special movements on the Mine side lately?”
For the past few months, I’ve been busy worrying about China and Moorim.
It was because his nerves were as sharp as they would be after the skirmish in the elven village.
“There is one thing I must tell you anyway. In fact, the guys at the top of the tower came to our location.”
“…if it’s at the top of the tower?”
“I don’t know. Exactly how many floors are there? But they were vampires with silver hair and red eyes. Really… it was so strong that it gave me goosebumps. I could never have imagined that the demons I picked out in my own way would be swept away so futilely.”
silver hair.
red eyes.
vampire.
When the three keywords were placed in one sentence, an earthquake occurred in Jinhyeok’s pupils.
This was nothing but surprising.
Because they meant only one thing.
Burr!
Elise, who was in her pocket, reacted violently to the extent that it could not be compared to before.
‘I understand, but bear with me for a moment.’
You have to be calm here. Haven’t you heard all the information yet?
“It is a duo consisting of two men and two women. According to them, they are blood relatives belonging to the Decassus family.”
If it’s Decassus…
Jinhyeok’s expression hardened even more.
“Keep talking.”
“He stormed right into our church and made a suggestion. If you help them, they’ll hand over the artifact we’re looking for, or something.”
“The ‘renegade bracelet’ on the 11th floor…”
“Yes. That’s it. Our high-ranking person definitely wants to get his hands on that bracelet.”
“Then what do the blood relatives want?”
Jinhyeok asked the most important thing.
OK.
“They said that the criminal of the clan who was imprisoned in the ruins escaped. He said he needed the help of the demons to catch him. The name must be Elles. Wasn’t it Alice? Was that a rough name?”
A familiar name came out of Melena’s lips.
is it.
I expected it to some extent, but if the reason for the blood relatives on the upper floors of the tower to come down here, it must be Alice.
‘I really heard the real exhaust information.’
This is the most important piece of information I’ve heard today.
The decision to hold a general shareholders’ meeting to hear stories about various forces was a wise choice, even if you think about it again.
The phoenix feather on the 7th floor and the renegade bracelet on the 11th floor.
Finally, to the blood relatives belonging to Decassus.
The schedule for the future has just been decided.
“Can I ask you one thing before you go?”
Melena, who was getting up from her seat, hesitated.
“Ask anything. I personally prefer proactive employees.”
“If it’s a shareholders’ meeting… you mean we have rights to the company too? When the company grows, dividends come out, and when it goes down a strange path or is exploited, shareholders gather and speak out.”
Melena cautiously opened her mouth.
Yes.
A shareholder is the owner of the company.
In other words, it is a position that can put pressure on management.
“you’re right. Everyone here is a proud member of the company. You can assert your rights and speak out for welfare.”
Jinhyeok did not deny it.
but.
“Because our company is far from the law.”
It’s good to have complaints.
But it’s better to keep that thought to yourself.
Even if you pretended to see molars in your mouth, they would immediately cut you down.
That was the founding ideology of the Goinmul Corporation and the policy to move forward.
