Hoarding in Hell Novel

Tang, Tang!

The flame flickered briefly within the dark rocky cave. The kobolds, waiting for their victims in the burrows, fell down in an instant, bleeding.

A few rushed at them wielding clubs, but the crews in black uniforms calmly and mechanically shot them down one by one.

"Wow, this really works."

"Shh."

One of the operators mumbled in surprise, and the other immediately gave the warning.

The crew moved forward quietly. It was different from the usual raid where passionate shouts, swear words, and spirits resounded. It just quietly pushed into the cave like a cold killing machine.

Among them, the cross-wearing crew at the forefront—who didn't say a word but memorized military hand signals perfectly—was overwhelming.

The crew wondered about his identity, but it was their virtue not to ask questions.

About three hours later, the crew finally reached their destination. Found the kobold chief over the corner, the crew waited quietly and gave instructions by hand signal.

The kobolds were waiting for the slinger to prepare for the continuous noise of the pistol.

The advent of ranged weapons was one of the biggest changes that hunters felt after entering Difficulty: Easy.

One of the crew, leaning against the corner, pulled out a flash grenade and threw it. When the flash bomb fell in front of them, the eyes of the kobolds who were preparing the slinger were focused.

bang. A flash of light, accompanied by a huge explosion, blinded the kobolds. The crew went straight in and shot and killed the kobolds carrying slingers one by one.

The still-blind kobold chieftain began to wield his club in a frenzy.

But for a moment, when the gunfire focused on the kobold chief, the kobold chief, who became a beehive, struggled and collapsed powerlessly.

The crew exchanged glances. Then the cross-wearing crew cut off the kobold chief's ear and showed it to the bodycam he was wearing.

The kobold chieftain's ears were placed in a plastic bag, and the crew immediately placed their hands on the hearthstone and returned together.

***

A field shooting range for the front-line military bases.

After seeing the video handed over by Hyunmoo, Park Gyu was silent for a while.

"That's it. Chief Secretary Park Gyu."

"...Did you say they were all incapacitated personnel?"

"Why are you doing this? Aren't they the Special Forces members that Chief of Staff Park Gyu selected directly?

A member of the cross.

Park Gyu remembered the member who had a remarkable performance.

He was the only operator who had no hesitation in firing guns as well as his pistol handling skills. Of course, his ability to grow might have played a part.

Park Gyu didn't say anything as if he was still thinking. Hyunmoo grinned and snapped his fingers.

A blindfolded kobold was dragged towards the military shooting range. It was the one the crew had captured while returning home.

Hyunmoo checked that the pistol in the box was loaded and handed it over to Park Kyu.

"Let's shoot it yourself."

Park Gyu's eyes fluttered. However, he didn't want to appear weak in front of Hyunmoo, so he finally grabbed a pistol and approached the kobold. He then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The gunshot didn't ring out.

"You have to remove the safety device."“……”

If you were a soldier, you would use an excuse that you had never fired a pistol, but Park Gyu was unfinished. But Hyunmoo didn't bother to point it out. Because Hyunmoo was also unwritten.

Hyunmoo released the safety device himself, but Kyu Park hesitated again.

He had already used up his courage by closing his eyes and pulling the trigger once.

Even if he is a monster, there are very few people he can directly kill. Among modern people, there are some people who can't even kill a little bug, let alone a big beast.

Therefore, the rate of becoming a hunter among talented people was not very high.

Gyu-do Park's experience of killing animals is probably all about fishing.

He hesitated before handing over his pistol from the officer next to him. But Hyunmoo grabbed the hand.

“I wish I could do it myself.”

In Hyunmoo's eyes, Park Gyu felt a strong pressure. Hyunmoo decided to pat him on the back. After clasping his hand and pointing the pistol, he used 'Domination' on Park Gyu.

It was hard to even notice that he pulled one of his fingers.

His gunshots resounded, and the monster with his head pierced fell on the spot.

"Good job."

Park Gyu took a deep breath. Hyunmoo smiled broadly.

"This is a level 18 kobold from a 2-star dungeon. Chief Secretary Park Gyu is also a full-fledged hunter."

It was half sarcastic. However, Park Gyu couldn't listen to Hyunmoo properly because he thought he had just ended his life.

It was not a feeling of guilt, but a kind of pleasure from a sense of domination. People like Park Gyu could easily get into hobbies like hunting.

'If you want to control the capable people, you probably want to use that power yourself.'

Hyunmoo had no intention of stopping it. Rather, I was thinking of encouraging it.

"Chief of Staff Park Gyu, how are you? Can you feel the power now?"

"Um? Oh, uh. That's great. You said you made this in the Almighty Ryeon?"

Park Gyu was also interested in the warhead itemization business that D&W was trying to make, like a power control theorist.

He succeeded in making it, but he, too, gave up, knowing it would require a huge budget. However, it is said that Hyunmoo succeeded in mass-producing this magic bullet.

"It's amazing. No other country overseas has succeeded in mass production... How?"

“Through reasonable cost savings.”

How would Park Gyu react if he told him that he was mining with almost free labor from a mine where crystal moss was gushing out indefinitely? But he didn't need to talk about it.

Park Gyu didn't like how Hyunmoo seemed to be hiding something, but his heart was already floating.

If you can arm the privates with this, there is no need to rely on unfaithful and free-spirited hunters.

And the pleasure that he had just killed a monster still lingered in his hands.

"I said that I would only deliver this to Korea. Yeah. What are the conditions?"

"First of all, you know, it's not cheap, and it's not manufactured in large quantities."

Park Gyu narrowed his eyes. How much do you think this bastard is going to rip you off?

“But… I am trying to get 250,000 won, which is just the price, out of my heart for the country.”

"In one magazine?"

"Just kidding. One shot."

Know. Park Gyu just tried to think positively as much as possible.

But 25 million won per foot, isn't it too much?

D&W's item bullets released on the market are traded at about 900,000 won at the Korean exchange rate. As D&W stopped production, it's still running great.

Considering that, it's less than 1/3 the price, but it's still a crazy price. This is even more so when you consider that the 5.56mm NATO rounds used by the South Korean military cost 400 won per round.

"...cheaper?"

"If you purchase in bulk, you can also reduce the cost, so it is possible for 240,000 won."

That's a lie.

Crystal moss is the most important part of making magic bullets. Other than that, the actual cost was not much when adding up the price of raw materials and technology costs.

In other words, Hyunmoo was outrageously raking in national security as a bait.

However, Park Gyu was not an easy opponent. He made a rational decision by carefully calculating D&W's technological prowess, the price of item ammunition in the market, and the exclusive rights that only Korea could have, and the price of magic stones.

"Okay. First, I'll buy 10,000 shots."

thank you. Hogan... … No, customer.

Hyunmoo chuckled. However, it was not that Park Gyu made an unreasonable judgment.

With 10,000 rounds, it is only 25 billion. It's not a lot of money for the country. It's also a product that has gone through practical tests, so it can be sold at a higher price abroad if you have a car.

It was clear that Park Gyu bought it with the intention of filling his pocket with it.

But Hyunmoo was looking bigger.

Soon the beekeeping will start.

In addition to the Hunters, the restoration of Pyongyang requires an enormous number of soldiers. Tens of thousands of soldiers armed with magic bullets would need an additional millions of rounds to move.

In addition, as the difficulty increases in the future, there will naturally come a time when greater firepower is required. At that time, the capable people couldn't save all the people.

When an opponent that is difficult to kill with a pistol comes out, automatic rifles or machine guns will also be developed, and the consumption of ammunition will increase exponentially.

It will not end as a one-shot like the original history, but it will become a market that will dominate the world.

"Really, Chief Secretary Park Gyu, you need to purchase a pistol separately."

Park Gyu's face contorted. But Hyunmoo's purpose wasn't just money.

"But... if you add a little more conditions, there seems to be room for more bargaining on the price of ammunition and pistols."

"Condition?"

Hyunmoo finally got what he wanted out of his mouth.

"Please give up some of the command of the troops during the Northern Expedition."

In an instant, Park Gyu's face suddenly changed, and he had a lot of things to say. But Hyunmoo stopped him and continued.

"Anyway, general soldiers should take the guidance and advice of the Hunters. Don't drive them all into Taeseong, and ask us to do it too."

Words are guidance and advice, but in reality, they are no different than commanding in a monster battle.

Hyunmoo was aiming for it.

Park Gyu was still dissatisfied, but he was at a level of understanding. However, Hyunmoo's demands did not end there.

“And we need the conscripted capable people I mentioned earlier, as well as skilled Special Forces non-commissioned officers and officers.”

Park Gyu grimaced at his face.

"Special forces? So far..."

"Isn't there such a unit? It is a non-existent unit that is not officially affiliated with the military, is not a citizen of this country on the surface, and has no official name.""Where in the world is such an army?"

"Indeed, it makes sense. Exactly such a unit is needed. A unit that even in the country denies its existence. Because they need me."

"Too many movies..."

"Park Gyu, Chief of Staff."

Hyunmoo said with a smile, clasping his hands in some places.

"If you don't have one, please make one. You're telling me you need me right now."

***

Outside the shooting range, Hyunmoo's Bugatti, which had been driving to the premises, was parked.

All the passing soldiers passed by looking at the Bugatti with a mixture of longing and jealousy.

Then, at one point, Hyunmoo opened the door and got into the car, and his expression grew deeper and deeper in an instant.

No matter how you look at them, they were the same age as them, but they had no choice but to contrast perfectly with those who work for a penny.

In Hyunmoo's car, a man who had been traveling with him was waiting for him.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Priest John. One pig bothered me."

A 4-star level 50 hunter who accompanied him during the truncation dungeon flood.

John, who is both a priest and a veteran, was in the car. Johan seemed a little surprised by Hyunmoo's words.

"Is it a pig? Do the South Korean military use pig targets at the shooting range?"

"It's true that I want to hang it on the target, but I didn't hang it.

John tilted his head as if he didn't understand Hyunmoo's parable.

However, Hyunmoo didn't want to explain to John what he thought of his country's chief of staff. Rather, I decided to go into a more practical story.

"Well, how do you feel about using a gun? Compared to what you've used before."

John was holding a licensed pistol. It was a pistol made by D&W.

Hyunmoo didn't see John writing it in the truncation dungeon himself, but he did see it clearly in the video.

It was also the moment when Hyunmoo started to be greedy for D&W.

"The pistol is lighter, so the repulsion is a little strong, but the power was very good."

It was John who was wearing the cross in the video I showed him to Park Kyu.

"That's all right, isn't there a special bullet that I gave to Ms. Johann? I wonder how it was."

Hyunmoo gave John a special white horse bullet.

John nodded his head with a slightly stiffer expression than before.

"That was... an amazing performance. I knew that it was possible to put attributes in there... very few weapons, but it's amazing that it can fit even such a bullet."

"What attributes did Priest John contain?"

"Well, I don't know if I did it right, but I tried infusing it with healing powers. It gave off a bit of light, but the shot didn't heal the wound. Looking at the examples of some modifier weapons, I think it's probably a light attribute. ."

light property. No matter how diverse the types of attributes are, there are certain monsters that are suspicious of certain 'attributes'.

Even if they were attacked by the same attack, there were cases where they were strong in some attacks and weak in others.

"How do you look good?"

Johan answered Hyunmoo's question without hesitation.

"This is a weapon that will change the times."
