#463. My mind has changed.
* * *
“Ugh, I’m dying…”
“I’m on the verge of dying now. I already feel like a zombie.”
“If you’re a zombie, shut up like a zombie and do your job. It’s already hard, but don’t make it harder with nonsense.”
“That’s a 28-year-old zombie… These days, zombies are running, talking, and dancing.”
“Think more. I’ll ask the Nightwalker Guild to make you a really unpaid slave.”
From scale armor to turban gauntlets.
A man who was devoted to work in a fairly unique outfit even by player standards.
A junior girl who boasts one of the best fighting skills among players who supply large amounts of money, and the deputy guild leader of the Infinity Guild.
Nam Nam-moon suddenly stopped handling the paperwork.
And he frowned.
“No, but no matter how you think about it, it’s strange.”
“….”
“We are players, not government officials or company employees, right? But why do we have to set up a nationwide supply plan?”
“….”
“These days, production workers have been complaining. They don’t know if they are players or human factories.”
“…”
“I can’t even remember the last time I went to a dungeon. huh? Because of that, I can’t even buy new items, and my hands are shaking.”
“….”
“Chulsu, why don’t you answer? Are you chewing on me?”
Snug.
The boy, Cheolsu, did not answer.
I just picked up a pen and wrote letters on a piece of paper.
[I heard that if you talk about it, you’ll turn me into an unpaid slave?]
“…You want me to turn you into a paid corpse?”
“If you have the confidence to do this mountain without me, would you kill me?”
“Turn it off.”
Nam Nam-moon raised the white flag.
Cheolsu is a talented person who holds an important position.
As much as his ability to handle business is unmatched, he could not fill the void if he had fallen out.
The guild has the most diverse talent among the 7 major guilds because it does not accept only players from a specific category.
It was the strength and weakness of the Infinity Guild that there were no replacements as each individual had a large proportion.
‘I miss Chief Park’s house…!’
When Park Hyeon-gun, the chief of staff, was there, everything went well even if I left everything to him and just wandered around the dungeon.
Why did that talented person disappear overnight?
And why did he have to deal with documents related to the Republic of China and the Holy League as well as domestically?
When you sigh in unanswered questions.
As expected of a major supply player, Nam Gi-mun’s sharp hearing heard some murmur.
“…!”
“Finally…”
“Come on… contact me…”
The guild office building is soundproofed as much as it was made by beating the skills of an architectural player.
Nevertheless, when Nam Ki-mun opens his eyes wide at the clearly audible commotion.
Sigh.
The door to the office opened and a man appeared.
A white suit with no wrinkles.
Hair covering one eye.
Even luxurious monocular glasses.
If you are a member of the Infinity Guild…
or at least, Nam Nam-moon jumped up when he saw the man that every player should know.
“master!”
The owner of the Infinity Guild.
One of the Seven Great Lords.
And a man who had been confined underground for nearly a year and had only come out once.
Looking at Infinite Lord Lee Chun-gi, Nam Nam-moon…
No, not just that, but the other guild members who were gathering in the office and processing paperwork were all surprised but happy.
“Are you finally back?!”
Their joy was natural.
As with all guild masters, especially in the 7th guild, the monarch was not a simple representative.
In some cases, a ruler who can even control the life and death of guild members with a single word, as well as taking it for granted.
Indeed, the king of a country…
no, in a sense, a monarch who is more than that.
That’s why the Infinity Guild couldn’t be active while Lee Chun-gi was living in seclusion.
But finally, the two thousand flags came out.
For the guild members, it felt like they were servants welcoming a king who had disappeared for hundreds of years.
“I have no intention of returning yet.”
So it was.
This is why Nam Ki-moon unknowingly put on a dumbfounded expression at Lee Chun-ki’s plain reply.
“…then why did you come?”
“The supplies have run out, but they can’t be replenished, so I’m here to check.”
“yes?”
Hearing that, he put on an absurd expression for a moment.
Nam Nam-moon, who soon had a blood clot on his forehead, glared at the other guild members.
“Hey kids! No matter how busy you are, you should have packed the supplies you need to go to the guild leader! Who is in charge of that?”
“He’s the deputy guild leader.”
“Yes, I will take this bastard from the deputy guild leader right now…! huh?”
“Did you forget? It’s important, so you took it to take care of it yourself.” Nam
Ki-
moon asks, ‘Really?’
To him, Cheolsu and other guild members nodded their heads and replied ‘Really’ with their eyes.
And after a short silence.
Nam Nam-moon opened his mouth with a clearing of his throat.
“Keuhmm, I guess there was a little mistake. I’ll take responsibility as the deputy guild leader, so don’t worry, master.”
“Even if you’re not the deputy guild leader, if you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility.”
“So you are responsible?”
“If you are sincere, please present an item to the deputy guild leader. If you sell it, it seems to be largely settled.”
“Hey, that’s not it!”
Seeing Nam Gi-moon freaked out at being told to give away his items, Cheol-su muttered that his responsibility was nothing more than words.
Lee Chun-gi moved on.
Then, sitting on the desk where Nam Nam-mun was originally sitting, he opened his mouth.
“Give me the papers.”
“yes?”
“If the guild’s work is pushed like this, it seems that there is a problem, so I will take care of the work for a few days and go back.”
“Oh oh!”
Nam Nam-moon looked as if he had come back to life, and the other guild members couldn’t hide their joy.
A few days, of course.
Considering the amount of work that could not be solved even with the mobilization of more than a dozen people, it was tantamount to peeing on the floor.
It means that it would have been if it had not been for Lee Chun-gi to spend those few days.
Parala Larak.
『High-speed Thinking』 『Parallel Thinking』 『Documentation』 『Skillful Administration』 『Detective’s Reasoning』 『The Master of Everything』, etc.
When Lee Chun-gi uses numerous skills to process a mountain of documents at super-speed.
The guild members were amazed.
And I felt proud.
It is something no other monarch can imitate.
It was a miracle that could be shown because it was Lee Chun-gi, which could combine thousands of skills to demonstrate near-all-around ability in any field.
That’s why he is an infinite lord.
He was a monarch known to have the most infinite potential among players of over a billion units.
Anyway, the overdue work was handled quickly, and Nam Nam-moon’s face brightened that much.
tall.
while processing paperwork.
That is, until Lee Chun-gi stopped his hand when he found something underneath it.
“…Deputy guild leader, can you explain what this is?”
“Oh, that’s…”
He made a puzzled expression for a while.
Nam Nam-mun, who found Lee Chun-gi looking at him, made an excuse with a sorry expression.
“I was going to tell you about it before, but Master said he wasn’t interested, so I couldn’t tell you.”
“…”
Lee Chun-gi recalled.
In the past, when Nam Ki-moon came to convey a request for cooperation from Leviathan, he cut off the story of an important contact and sent it back.
At the time, I thought it didn’t matter.
Whether it is the top of a country of a great power.
Whether it’s the contact of the other five lords.
Because I had no intention of caring.
But…
Sreuk.
Lee Chun-gi slowly reached out and picked up the envelope.
After being silent while looking at the seal engraved on the envelope, he quietly opened his mouth.
“I have changed my mind.”
“yes?”
“This means that we will officially return to guild management from now on.”
“Are you sure?!”
Nam Nam-moon was both delighted and embarrassed.
It was because it was not like Lee Chun-gi to repeat his words.
However, Lee Chun-gi didn’t care about his gaze.
He just muttered in his heart as he touched the invitation with the pattern of the watch that came to him.
‘Did he finally start moving?’
* * *
When Limon and Charlotte left the bar.
The sun had already set in the dark sky.
as if to fill the void.
Charlotte languidly opened her mouth as they walked along Rushmore City, illuminated by artificial lights from lamps to electric lights.
“Hmm, after all, there was no useful information.” […I don’t think it’s something
to say after spending
all that much money, right?]
[The rich sister’s face is really expensive…]
When Yun Na-gyeong makes an expression that she will die of envy at the money she spends like the world’s richest person.
Charlotte asked casually.
“What were you going to do now?”
“I’ll have to wait for a while.”
“Do you think they will bring us useful information?”
“Whatever it takes, it’s good. Even if it wasn’t, it would stir up the pond just as much.”
“It’s really like a hunting dog to like jumping into the pond and catching fish rather than using a fishing rod.”
“Because I have a bit of a dirty personality.”
Even though I spent a lot of money, I couldn’t get the right information.
Charlotte wasn’t sorry.
Limon laughed softly.
Since they have already tasted the money, the gunmen in Rushmore City will be gathering information related to the Liberation Brigade with their eyes open.
The movement of the liberation brigade would be limited as well.
It was worth the money just because I was able to buy time until I caught them myself.
Of course, there is a possibility that the remnants of the Liberation Brigade may have already stolen the Seven Arks and fled, but…
‘As expected, that would be impossible.’
Indy Jones is the greatest archaeologist of the 20th century.
As much as he robbed numerous ruins, he was a great man who was fluent in all mysteries, from magic to witchcraft.
Would such a man have made his inheritance easy to obtain?
No matter how high-level the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade are, and even if they have clues left by Jones, it will be impossible in at least a few days.
Having seen Indy Jones’ diary, Limone was convinced.
That’s why Limon was able to laugh leisurely.
That is, until they wandered around looking for lodgings to stay during their further search.
“…There are no vacant rooms here either?”
“Sorry, sir.”
“If you want to kick us out because we’re white, why don’t you just say it out loud?”
“Can’t you give me a room without a fairy, even if the guest isn’t white?”
From luxury hotels to unmanned hotels operated by an automated system and even cheap motels.
Limon was dumbfounded as he couldn’t find a vacant room even though he searched all the lodgings in Rushmore City.
“So you didn’t ask if I had a reservation for you.”
“I didn’t know it would be like this.”
Limon was trembling.
For just a moment ago, he had never imagined that he would have any problems finding lodging.
Rushmore City is a city in the middle of the wilderness.
Compared to the size, the floating population is small, so it was only natural that the room would rot because there were not enough rooms left.
That’s why Limon couldn’t understand it even more.
“Does it make sense that all the hotels in the city are full when there is no festival? That includes suites and penthouses?”
“What if it actually happened?”
“….”
When Limon, who was speechless, frowned.
Charlotte, who was holding her smartphone with one hand, said languidly.
“This is how I can only wait for the reservation to be canceled and a room available.”
[Will there be an empty room in such a timely manner?]
“Who knows. If you wait a little bit, maybe we can rent a room.”
[Of course, if you’re lucky, that might be the case.]
While nodding in the unmanned vacuum cleaner.
Yuna-kyung suddenly tilted her head.
[…Do you have a room?]
“Why is that?”
[No, that’s… I was wondering if it would be a bit inconvenient for two people to sleep in one room.]
“What would be inconvenient. You won’t be kicked out just because you have a hound and a stupid bird.”
[Wait, rich sister? What did you just call me ,
the blue bird of dreams and hopes?
It was when Charlotte, who was fiddling with her smartphone, lightly tapped the LCD screen.
“I can’t help it.”
It seems you don’t like it.
Limon sighed.
Then he turned around and headed out of the hotel lounge.
“Follow me, boss.”
“…Where are you going?”
“I don’t know if it’s still intact, but I know a place that could be used as a lodging.”
Limon takes the lead, saying calmly that it will at least be better than staying up all night in a hotel lounge.
It seems that this is unexpected.
Or maybe it’s interesting.
Charlotte, who was looking at Gigsi Limon’s back, eventually put her smartphone in and followed him.
“The guest suddenly canceled his reservation, so we got a room. If it’s okay with a double bed room… What are you doing already?”
