History's Strongest Manager

It was still the middle of July when the sun was hot. But Aran was a night that wasn't affected by the weather, and Kang Jun was wearing a cap.

Aran eventually asked, impatient.

“Manager.”

“Yes, Mr. Aran. ”

“Why did you become a hunter? ”

It was the first time that Aran purely questioned Kangjun. Aran wanted to ask why he became a hunter in the first place rather than ask why he was a manager.

“Like everyone else, it's one of two reasons, in my case.... ”

Despite the weekdays, there were a lot of people who still believed in Shilin.

“I hated monsters. ”

It was a clear reason, but there was no clearer reason. There are hundreds of thousands of reasons why you don't like monsters and why you want to kill them, but basically there's only two of them.

You want to risk your life to make a lot of money, or you just hate monsters.

It was either. More specifically, "I hate monsters who want to risk their lives and fight monsters. '.'

“So now you don't hate monsters? ”

The question was whether Hunter changed his mind after he quit.

“I still don't want to. Though it changed... ”

Gangjun muttered, yawning.

“I just don't like the rain. Something like that. ”

You may hate rainy weather, but it's a matter of mood, not hatred of rain or resentment of rain. Gangjun's hatred and anger were diluted. At least Kang Jun insisted. Kang Jun smiled at Aran who was worried. Aran's current attitude was similar to that of Gangjun in the past.

Gangjun hated, hated and resented the beast.

However, Kang Jun did not say anything to Aran. It was meaningless not to hate monsters. Aran is in her own right mind.

There are usually two reasons why you want to be a hunter: You don't like monsters, you want to make money.

But there was one more thing Aran thought.

I want to protect people from monsters.

In this heroic notion, people become hunters. There are those who are really childish and childish and no one mentions it, but there are those who want to be hunters for that reason. And their representative presence was the template.

At that time, Aran looked at Kangjun and admired the image of an apostle of justice. However, Kang Jun said he hated monsters and became a hunter.

Kang Jun told me not to lie, so I didn't know what I was looking at. Aran thought that Kangjun would want to protect people. For some reason, I hated Gangjun's evil appearance.

Above all, he felt sorry for the fact that a hunter this strong was a manager.

“You don't want to be a hunter again, do you? ”

“Yes.”

Kang Jun replied like a knife.

“Why?”

From here, Aran regrets spitting it out. This was a very forward question. After all, they were a relationship between the manager and Hunter, and now they've gone too far into the private sector. Aran bites his lip, regretting what he said. Kang Jun smiled bitterly.

“I'm a little tired. ”

Aran can't nod easily at that. It was because I didn't know what it contained. I wanted to ask him what made him tired and what made him tired, but Aran couldn't open his mouth.

“And at this point, it's not going to work. ”

“Efficient?”

“Of course, you need the best fuel to run the best equipment, right? ”

“Yes.”

Gangjun's dilemma.

“Excellent equipment costs tens of millions of KRW each time you fight, and sometimes it costs more. ”

In response, Seo Aran opened her mouth. Gangjun is a human, and it was imperative for a human to attack a higher rank dungeon. And superior equipment, of course, only works if you put quality cores, ethels and cubes in it.

“On the other hand, how about knights, mutants, and Awakeners? ”

“…… I see what you mean. ”

Hunters who are not human also become stronger in the flesh. Awakenings didn't have combat devices, including the Orb, but they didn't have any big problems. The Night was a friend of Gangjun's, Maria, who could fight without an armor coat. Mutants were the same.

However, Kang Jun had difficulty crossing human limits. It took enormous funding to target the top monsters, and even if they succeeded, there was a king who would lose money for repairs if one of the equipment was destroyed.

“I quit from a very capitalistic point of view. ”

“Yes... ”

Seo Aran seemed to understand why Kang Jun quit Hunter. However, no matter how much I think about it, it sounds like an excuse to Aran. I know there's a reason, but it's not the only reason. Aran thought so.

They came back after buying the groceries they needed at the market. Both of them climbed up the hill of Xinrim, full of baskets. They don't talk to each other because they feel awkward somehow.

“Mr. Aran.”

“Yes.”

“I would have regretted being a templar. ”

With no sound, Aran tilts his head. Aran did not ask why he said that. Kang knew what was wrong with the templar group and was willing to explain it.

“I'm good enough now. ”

“Well, that's a relief. Honestly... I'm sorry. ”

“ ……. ”

They walked silently and soon arrived at the entrance of the studio. Before opening the gate, Aran stared at Gangjun. Instead of opening the door, he stared at Aran looking at himself. Aran opens his mouth for about three seconds, hoping to see each other briefly.

“I'm good enough now. ”

It was a word that was no different from the last one. At that, Kang Jun smiled comfortably.

“Really?"

“Really.”

Gangjun went in first, and Aran followed. Kangjun mutters as he climbs the stairs.

“I'll make you some meat for dinner tonight. ”

“Tomorrow morning, please. ”

“ ……. ”

When it came to meat, Aran became quite serious.

“If you eat too much meat, you'll be healthy... ”

“Please.”

“Yep.”

It wouldn't be a problem for me to do that. After all, the expense could be solved by corporate cards.

A few days later, Kang Jun stood in front of the market with three members of his team. The position was a bypass, and the position was free to move as long as it did not leave the jurisdiction. There were many people passing by the market, most of whom were carrying ethel devices or wearing armor coats.

This was no ordinary market.

“This is your first time at the Crystal Store, right? ”

“Yes!”

For the first time in my life, my obvious support responded vigorously. What was in front of them was not so different from the usual supermarket by appearance. However, the items handled were completely different.

The Crystal Store was the place to start selling items with Ethel, Core and Cube as the main elements. It was soon a place where Ethel Sword and Armour Coats were sold. And there's one more thing.

“You also need to know about crystal trafficking in order to do your part properly. Of course, the management will take care of it, but it's better if you know how to make money and sell it more expensive, right? ”

“Yes!”

The Crystal Store was also a place where hunters could sell energy crystals. The three of them followed Kangjun into the store. The ground floor was where all the goods were sold, and the basement was a trading area where crystals could be sold.

There were seven such crystal stores in Seoul. Hunter sells crystals and barges in to replenish them. That's how many floors of brothels there were in the basement.

“Fifteen hundred. Fifteen hundred. Who wants to bid? 1550. Do you have 1600? So at 1500 per 3 S rank Ethel crystals.... Ah, 1600! ”

At the nearest auction house, the S rank Ethel decision was put up for auction. The S-rank Ethel crystal had just crossed 16 million won per person. As well as the most unrealistic price, Seo Aran opened her eyes wide.

“Workshops are primarily for people who buy advanced decisions. We have to process it to make advanced equipment. Selling less than S rank energy crystals is the same. ”

There were similar auctions going on everywhere.

“Lesser crystals can be sold to the government, sold to a workshop, or both. If you do a national trade, it's three percent off the market that day, and in the case of workshops, it's a normal market rate or a little bit more. The Frank core rate is…. There it is. The price today is 5720 won. ”

The light panels attached to the ceiling of the basement were flowing with the energy crystal quotes of today. Today's F rank core price is KRW 51720. What he currently has is 45 cores of C rank and 18,619,200 won, assuming the price is measured at the base price of F rank, all sold in line with the market price. If you bought a government here, you would lose about 550,000 won.

The display board also describes today's auction items. Today's biggest prize was a bunch of S-rank cubes. The S rank cube was worth something, so it must have been sold for a minimum of 100 million.

“Some managers sell in workshops pretending to be Crystal Dealers, and others are profitable. ”

“Hmm."

“How much is that...? ”

“If you sell in bulk, your profit will go from hundreds to tens of millions of won. ”

“Oh, right…. ”

After Kang Jun's words, I nodded my head firmly. Although Kang Jun did not work with management, he knew that there were those who worked that way. After going through the noisy section of the auction house, the workshop officials sat at each store.

“Aye, give me some more. ”

“If you're not working, go to the government supply depot. Don't hold a busy man. I don't know, but in this state, the government buyers would go from the market to the offshore. The standard is 50,000 won, not anymore. ”

“What kind of flaw is this? You have to pay ₩ 53,000!”

Bargaining has been causing a commotion. The workshop was trying to hit the price, and the hunters were using the tools to sell them at a high price somehow. In the chaotic crucible, the four men, including Kangjun, stood dumbfounded like fallen ducks.

The middle-aged man and Hunter eventually had to sell all their cores for 50,000 won. Aran tilts her head as she looks at the hunter returning to the brow.

“Does it matter if the crystal has a defect? ”

“Sometimes there are impurities. The workshop wants a pure core, so it's too busy.... It's not that I can't use it. You can go crazy.”

Kang Jun looks around at the group and smiles.

“Now I'm going to show you how to bargain. If you bargain well, you can make 10 million won, and if you don't, you can sell what you can get for 9 million won. We don't want to go to the government supply depot unless we have to. It's a life-threatening crystal, and if you give it to the government for a cheap price, it kills you. Right?"

All three nodded their heads. Gangjun took out the C rank core from the core box and held it in one hand.

“I'm going to sell one of these. Watch this."

All three of them were staring at Kangjun with their eyes wide open. Gangjun just walked confidently to the store where one hunter was hit by the price. The merchant crouches his chin, glancing at Gangjun and looking at what's going on.

“It's a C rank core, and I want to sell it for 54,000 won. ”

“Hmm.”

He took a thumb-sized blue decision from Kang Jun and looked around. And then it took me a while to put it in the discriminator.

“C rank core, right. ”

The merchant said briefly, then glanced at Gangjun and asked again.

“Is the payment in an account? Cash?”

“I'll get you an account. ”

Kang Jun recited the corporate account, and the merchant nodded his head and immediately finished the calculation. After confirming the payment made by the merchant in the name of the corporation, after disconnecting the receipt, Kang Jun returns to the party. He then presented the receipt and showed that he sold one core of C rank for 54,000 won, totaling 432 won.

The C rank core was worth eight F rank cores.

“Well, it's a lot easier than I thought. ”

Choi Gina and Seo Aran frowned. I wanted to show them a bargain, but they didn't seem to have any bargain. The merchant simply sent an OK sign for the price that Kang Jun called.

But he just hit the price on the previous Hunter.

“You're teasing me, right? ”

“This must be some kind of conspiracy, too. ”

All three looked like they were possessed by a ghost.
