Level 1 Player

Chapter 100 Japanese government tricks

The message that Deok-gu has grown has continued.

‘Did the spirit even grow?’

There was no such thing as a grade for Toungi and Deokgu.

It’s just the spirit of thunder and the spirit of fire.

That’s it.

The first thing Hyunseong learned when he signed a contract with Tungi was the one legendary active skill Elemental Skill.

In the case of Deokgu, he didn’t even give him any skills.

‘What the hell do you get better when you grow up?’

Hyunseong looked at Deokgu, who frantically devoured the essence of flame.

That was then.

– The flame spirit of Deokgu has been upgraded by one level.

‘Is the level higher?’

Hyunseong looked at Deokgu with a puzzled expression.

His outward appearance had not changed at all.

‘Let’s see.’

Hyunseong looked inside Deokgu.

‘It doesn’t seem to have changed much, except for a slight increase in the total amount of mana that can be accumulated. uh? Mana consumption has decreased.’

Deok-gun and Toung-i are spirits.

Of course, just summoning it consumes mana.

In a non-combat situation, the mana consumption is quite low. Therefore, it was difficult to even notice that the mana was consumed if he was not consciously aware of it.

However, now that Hyunseong’s remaining horsepower is so low, it was immediately felt that the amount of horsepower required to maintain Deokgu’s summons was reduced.

‘Does the efficiency increase even in battle?’

It is meaningless to reduce the mana consumption only in non-combat situations.

But what if the magic power consumption decreases in combat situations?

That meant that Hyunseong’s power itself rose significantly.

“No one steals it, so eat it slowly, Deokgu.”

Hyunseong stroked Deokgu’s head and smiled.

He thought it was a complete bummer because only the material items came out, but he managed to get his own harvest.

And the loot wasn’t just the essence of fire.

‘There are quite a few legendary items.’

There were a total of 6 Legendary grade items.

A much larger amount of items came out than when you normally hunted a legendary monster.

If there was one disappointment, it was that the number of skillbooks was not very large.

‘There are only two. Let’s check it first.’

Hyunseong picked up the skillbooks.

[Blessing of the Lava Giant – Legendary Rank]

-Passive skill book

– Physical attack resistance is greatly increased.

– Skill attack resistance is greatly increased.

– Resistance to fire attacks is greatly increased.

-Passive Skillbook Lava Giant’s Protection – Do you want to acquire Legendary rank?

-[Yes No]

‘The armor of the God of Heaven will absorb this.’

For a legendary rating, it was a decent spec.Hyunseong chose yes.

-Passive skill Lava Giant’s Blessing – You have failed to acquire the legendary level.

-Passive skill Heavenly God’s Armor – The only myth grade has absorbed the passive skillbook Lava Giant’s Protection – Legendary grade.

-Passive skill Heavenly God’s Armor – Unique myth grade has grown.

It was also as expected.

Hyunseong looked at the following skill book.

[Wrath of the Lava Giant – Legendary Rank]

-Active skill book

-Emits a fire breath with strong heat.

-Active Skillbook Lava Giant’s Wrath – Do you want to acquire Legendary rank?

-[Yes No]

‘Fire Breath?’

it was special

However, it was going to be absorbed by the Book of Flames anyway, so there didn’t seem to be anything special about it.

Hyunseong chose yes.

-Active skill Lava Giant’s Fury – Failed to acquire Legendary rank.

-Active skill Book of Flames – The only semi-mythic rank has absorbed the active skill Lava Giant’s Rage – Legendary rank.

-Active skill Book of Flames – The only semi-myth grade has grown.

The Book of Flames also absorbed the rage of the lava giant with ease.

‘When are you going to raise this guy to myth level?’

In the meantime, he ate several skill books, but he didn’t budge.

‘Well, maybe someday I will grow up.’

He continues to devour the skillbook, so he will definitely grow.

‘Attack power must have gone up a little.’

Although it did not grow to the myth grade, it ate one of the legendary grade skillbooks, so the relatively poor book of flames would have slightly increased the attack power.

-Woof woof!

While Hyunseong was learning the skill book, Deokgu’s meal was all over.

“Did you eat enough?”

-bruise!

Deokgu replied vigorously.

Hyunseong smiled and stroked Deokgu’s hair.

In my mind, I wanted to go into the dungeon and check the changed appearance of Deokgu.

But I’m so tired.

Also, it was not a situation to go to the dungeon for a test.

Now that he’s done the case, it’s time to do some post-processing.

‘What should I ask for?’

He protected the island of Honshu, the mainland of Japan.

‘Owning the dungeon would be the best.’

Since I almost flew away, I thought, ‘Is it okay to accept half of the dungeons on Honshu Island?’

It was a demand that would be terrifying if Prime Minister Akunabe and other Japanese cabinet members heard it.

But Hyunseong didn’t think it was overdone at all.

‘Half of it is conscientious.’

A catastrophe that could destroy Japan was prevented without any loss of life.

Not all of the dungeons on Honshu Island, but only half will be required.

This was a conscientious request in consideration of the Japanese government.

Having decided on the reward list, Hyunseong went down the mountain.* * *

– Choi Hyunseong player, defeat the monsters that occupied the crater of Mt. Fuji!

-The Japanese hero who prevented the destruction of Japan!

-What would have happened if the volcano of Mt. Fuji caused the second and third eruptions?

– Choi Hyunseong player succeeded in winning the title of guardian deity of mankind!

As soon as Hyunseong finished the Lava Giant raid, there was a stream of articles from around the world.

Most of them were compliments on Hyunseong.

However, there was something different about the Japanese press.

-The first volcanic eruption of Mount Fuji caused thousands of casualties!

– Tens of thousands of people who lost their homes in the earthquake!

-Damage caused by belated monster suppression, couldn’t it have been prevented in advance?

He did not directly attack Hyunseong.

However, he continued to report news of the primary damage to Mt.

It was only natural to report it because it suffered damage.

But he did something strange.

In general, when disasters caused by monsters occur, governments of each country intentionally reduce the damage situation.

Conversely, players who hunted monsters will float.

This is to prevent people from falling into confusion and anxiety.

Rather, we have been busy promoting that this will never happen again with such great players.

However, the Japanese media are currently taking the opposite course.

And this abnormal flow of the Japanese media was immediately delivered to Hyunseong.

“So, you’re doing this because you don’t want to be rewarded, right?”

Hyunseong asked Inukuso, the Japanese dimensional gate management minister and president of the Japan Players Association.

“Yes, especially Prime Minister Akunabe and cabinet officials are strongly wary of your master’s growing influence in Japan. Whether the Mt. Fuji Lava Giant Raid was successful or unsuccessful, the attitude of the Japanese press would have been critical of the owner.”

At Inukuso’s words, Hyunseong’s face lit up with anger.

“Do these things do such an ungrateful thing to the person who twice prevented the country from going extinct?”

This was like repaying the favor with the enemy.

To prevent this volcanic eruption, Hyunseong took the risk and jumped into the volcanic crater infused with lava.

You say that to Hyunseong like that?

“It is the Japanese rulers who reciprocated the master’s good will with malice. The vast majority of Japanese people are actively supporting the Master. Please consider this.”

Hyunseong calmed his anger at Inukuso’s words.

“I know that. But I can’t leave them alone anymore.”

He did not know what he was going to do by inciting the people through the media.

Fortunately, unlike in the past, with the development of public opinion through the Internet, media reports are not the only means of information.

However, since it is also true that it has a significant impact on the vast majority of the people, it was necessary to properly take care of it.

“Let’s unpack the data we’ve collected so far. It’s not about me, it’s about corruption.”

Hyunseong gave the order.

“Master, the information I have collected so far is not small, but the destructive power is too weak. It’s impossible to get Prime Minister Akunabe and other cabinet members out of office if it’s just an apology.”

“I know. But it could scratch their image.”

Those who claim to be working for the country did something stupid.

It’s a common occurrence.

It usually ends with an apology or denial.

But Hyunseong was thinking of starting with that and gradually increasing the work.

“Then I will do as instructed.”

Inukuso bowed his head politely and stepped back.‘I’ll change the frame.’

The Japanese government is framing the conflict between the national interest and the interests of Hyunseong individual.

If it goes like this, Hyunseong can’t win.

If the Japanese government is put under pressure by force, the objective will be achieved immediately.

However, if that happens, the support of the Japanese people will be lost and the people of the world will lose their hearts.

It is okay for the Japanese government to hand over ownership of the dungeon as a thank you.

However, it should not be a composition that Hyunseong is forced to take away.

We need to change the composition of the frame to corrupt politicians and people.

‘I will take ownership of the dungeons on Honshu Island and make them dedicated to me.’

There are also Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island dungeons, so I conscientiously tried to be half satisfied.

However, the Japanese government took the initiative first.

Even in order to fix the Japanese government’s burlesque hair, it seemed like he had to accept all the dungeons on Honshu Island in return.

* * *

“What is the public’s reaction?”

Prime Minister Akunabe asked the head of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office.

“Overall, the idea of ​​helping the victims prevails.”

“Of course it is.”

Prime Minister Akunabe smiled with a satisfied expression on his face.

It is true that there are many supporters of Hyunseong in Japan.

However, the media did not directly attack Hyunseong.

I just sent out an article at the level of suggesting that we should give priority to the damage situation and help them, and that we should work harder to prevent this kind of damage.

Hyunseong was the only one who could try to prevent this from happening.

Secretly, Hyunseong should have worked harder.

However, not many people have realized this yet.

“The criticism is pouring in from the Japanese dimensional gate management department.”

The Japanese public blamed the incompetent Japanese players rather than blamed Hyunseong.

“It’s not a bad trend either. This time, we have to hit Inukuso too.”

Inukuso is a talented person.

He is also a patriot who loves Japan more than anyone and is friendly to the Akunabe regime.

He also holds the title of the hero who saved Japan.

There is only one problem.

It was the fact that he was too friendly towards Choi Hyunseong.

It was because of Hyunseong’s breath that Inukuso became the Minister of Dimensional Gate Management in Japan in the first place.

“I don’t think Minister Inukuso will be dismissed for this kind of work, do you?”

Prime Minister Akunabe burst into laughter at the words of the head of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office.

“I have no intention of being completely overthrown. It will be enough for me to just take responsibility for this and resign from my post.”

“Are you going to keep your position as president of the Players Association?”

“That’s fine. Shouldn’t you be the president of the association to properly play the role of a hunting dog? In a way, it’s back to where it was.”

Prime Minister Akunabe thought that it was wrong in itself for player Inukuso to become minister.

The player is nothing more than a well-trained hound.

He must never look beyond his master’s seat.

Since the Inukuso is a well-trained hound, he did not bite his master.

But it was dangerous to put a hunting dog in a position that could bite its owner.

“It is a wise decision.”

The head of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office agreed with Prime Minister Akunabe.

He also judged that it was dangerous for players to enter the realm of politics.

rumble!

At that moment, the door to Prime Minister Akunabe’s office opened and an agent from the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office rushed in.

“Hey, what rudeness is this in front of the Prime Minister?”

The head of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office rebuked his subordinate.

“It’s a big deal! Aki’s corruption allegations have been raised.”

Prime Minister Akunabe and the head of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office hardened like stones at the words that came out of the agent’s mouth.

“Come on, man, what did you just say?”

Prime Minister Akunabe asked, stuttering.

“The allegations of corruption in the private school foundation run by Mrs. Aki have been raised.”

Prime Minister Akunabe’s body staggered.

“Are you okay, Prime Minister?”

The head of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office supported Prime Minister Akunabe.

“Stop it.”

“Yes?”

“I mean, stop it by any means you can! I know it’s not just me when this blows up, I don’t know!”

“Yes! Prime Minister!”

The head of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office quickly responded to Prime Minister Akunabe’s wrath, and then ran off with Subha.

“Why the hell all of a sudden… … .”

Prime Minister Akunabe had his head throbbing.

The private school foundation managed by his wife is the heart of the Democratic Party’s slush fund.

It would be better if it ended with the moral deviation of his wife, but if done wrong, the Democratic People’s Party itself, the core of the Akunabe regime, could collapse.

Prime Minister Akunabe had to resolve the situation as soon as possible.

But Prime Minister Akunabe did not know.

It is the fact that even at this very moment, new corruptions are popping up one after another.

Evidence of corruption against the Akunabe regime has been pouring out like a flood on the Internet.

– Huge amount of money invested in Aki’s private school foundation!

-The blood tax that went into the private school foundation goes back to the Democrats!

-Secret contract recording between the chief cabinet secretary and a large corporation revealed!

– Abusive language to a secretary 10 years older than a member of the Democratic Party of Korea!

– An affair with a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who said he would take maternity leave!

Starting with Aki’s corruption in the private school foundation, numerous corruption problems have surfaced one after another to the point of being bombarded.

There was a huge wave.

It wasn’t just internet stinging information.

A list of evidence and transcripts of the corruption committed by the Akunabe government were clearly organized.

The position of the Akunabe government, which was firmly in power, was shaken.

Media companies that had close ties with the Akunabe government intentionally blocked the report.

Then the suspicion grew.

– Big events should be prevented by bigger events.

At the direction of Prime Minister Akunabe, Japanese media outlets all at once reported extensively on what Hyunseong had requested for compensation.

– Choi Hyunseong Player Japan’s guardian deity or usurper?

-Is it justified to claim ownership of half of the dungeons that exist on Honshu Island?

– A Japanese hero? Choi Hyunseong player is not Japanese.

-Is Japan’s wealth passing to Korea justified?

-Occupiers of Kyushu and Shikoku, covet Honshu!

The media published a lot of provocative articles.This was to divert public attention from the corruption of the Akunabe government to Hyunseong.

Concerns about Hyunseong’s whether the media’s efforts were working have grown increasingly louder.

At that time, Hyunseong officially posted an article on the homepage of the guardian deity of mankind.

– This is the player Choi Hyunseong. There were a lot of people who were swearing at me after seeing the recent article about the transfer of Japanese wealth to Korea. We want to tell you the truth about him. Kyushu Island and… … .

Hyunseong posted the Korean original text and the Japanese translation at the same time.

Naturally, even Japanese people could read it without a separate translation.

The content of the article was simple.

The profits from the dungeons on Kyushu and Shikoku do not go to Korea.

All are being reinvested in Kyushu and Shikoku.

The Japanese government’s announcement that it demanded half of the dungeons on Honshu Island is false.

The Japanese government first made such a proposal.

He is currently thinking about it, and even if the ownership is transferred, he plans to reinvest all the proceeds in Honshu Island like the dungeons on Kyushu and Shikoku.

As Hyunseong’s article spread, Japan plunged into even greater chaos.

The hand was split in two and a fight began.

Although they were divided, the voices in support of Hyunseong were much louder.

Those who criticized Hyunseong were only a handful of marrow-in-laws.

The majority of Japanese people wondered why the media suddenly fell for the Japanese benefactor, Hyunseong.

At that time, rumors circulated that the Akunabe government had brought in Hyunseong to cover up their mistakes.

The Japanese people split up and started fighting.

The whole frame was woven into whether the corruption of the Akunabe government was real or fake.

Hyunseong’s issue of ownership of the dungeon on Honshu Island has already been completely buried.

The Akunabe administration eventually raised the white flag.

He made a public apology through the media.

At the same time, he promised an investigation without a sanctuary.

But it was an apple with no kernel.

The Akunabe regime did not admit their faults.

I just apologized and apologized for causing an uproar.

Investigations without sanctuary were also highly unlikely to proceed properly.

They just temporarily covered their eyes to hide the anger of the people.

The Akunabe government, please, hoped that this uproar would end at this level.

At that time, Hyunseong visited the Japanese Prime Minister’s residence.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

Hyunseong suddenly visited without any prior appointment.

Prime Minister Akunabe was not a bit perplexed.

“Why did I come? I’m here to collect the credit.”

“Others, what about the foreign currency?”

“You have to pay the price for saving Japan by preventing an additional volcanic eruption on Mount Fuji, right?”

A cold sweat was forming on Prime Minister Akunabe’s back after hearing Hyunseong’s words.

The original plan was to manipulate public opinion to prevent Hyunseong from demanding proper remuneration.

However, even if the plan went awry, it went terribly wrong.

The public was no longer interested in Hyunseong’s remuneration.

Some radical followers even insisted that Hyunseong hand over all of Japan’s dungeon ownership.

The logic was that Hyunseong, the savior of Japan, was more reliable than the corrupt bureaucrats.

He also claimed that when Hyunseong manages all of Japan’s dungeons, he can settle things faster and safer when problems like Monster Waves or Legendary-grade monsters appear.

The problem was that the number of Japanese people who responded to this crazy sound was not small.

Of course it wasn’t the truth.Taking Korea as an example, during the 2002 World Cup, it was similar to what many people agreed with the joke that even if he ran in the Korean presidential election, he would win.

If there was one difference, Hyunseong really had the power and justification to take away all of Japan’s ownership of the dungeon.

This is a situation where a simple joke can become a reality.

So Prime Minister Akunabe tried to prevent it due to public backlash.

However, since the people took the side of Hyunseong first, Prime Minister Akunabe was in a situation of pardon.

‘I can’t help it.’

Half of the dungeons that exist on Honshu Island.

This was a bigger loss than losing ownership of the dungeons on Kyushu and Shikoku.

“all right. I will give you half of the dungeons that exist on Honshu Island.”

Prime Minister Akunabe raised the white flag with a somber expression.

“You can’t do that. If it wasn’t for me, wouldn’t I have been able to use the dungeons on Honshu Island anyway? Just pass them all.”

However, Hyunseong’s subsequent words had no choice but to make his complexion pale.

“Are you talking about everything?”

At Prime Minister Akunabe’s question, Hyunseong nodded.

“That will never happen!”

Prime Minister Akunabe strongly objected.

The dungeons on Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, and Honshu Island are all owned by Hyunseong?

It was as if Japan had taken away all the dungeons that existed in its country.

No, it wasn’t just the dungeon that was the problem, it was something that could lose all of the country’s security, economy, and territory.

“Absolutely not?”

Prime Minister Akunabe nodded his head at Hyunseong’s question.

“Did you know that the dimensional gate that opened on Mt. Fuji has not been sealed yet?”

A cold sweat formed on Prime Minister Akunabe’s forehead at Hyunseong’s question.

The crater of Mt. Fuji is not yet fully stable.

So, the work of making the dimension gate into a dungeon had not yet begun.

“Who is preventing more monsters from coming out of the dimension gate now?”

“ This is Choi Hyunseong player.”

Hyunseong was dealing with the flame golems that periodically pour out of the dimension gates.

Without Hyunseong?

The fire golem might become a lava golem, and the volcano of Mt. Fuji might erupt again.

No other players will be able to step out until Mt. Fuji’s volcano has entered the stabilization phase.

Volcanic fields are the worst environment for the player.

On the other hand, the lava golems received a buff from the volcanic environment, and their combat power increased rapidly.

Hyunseong had a hard time catching only one legendary monster.

So what about the other players?

It was difficult to form a proper formation in an environment full of lava.

If you make one mistake, you have to dive right into the lava.

“What would happen if I went back to South Korea out of resentment at Prime Minister Akunabe’s disrespect?”

A disaster that was barely prevented may recur.

“Think about what Prime Minister Akunabe has done to me in the past? Wouldn’t that be enough justification for me to return to Korea?”

Prime Minister Akunabe bowed his head at Hyunseong’s words.

Hyunseong, who was guarding the crater of Mt. Fuji, is returning because of Prime Minister Akunabe?

It’s not just a matter of stuttering.

You could be beaten to death by the angry Japanese people.

“That is not fair. The Japanese people, and the whole world, will condemn Choi Hyunseong’s actions.”

Prime Minister Akunabe hung up on Hyunseong’s honor.”well? Will the Japanese people think that way even after seeing this?”

Hyunseong turned on his smartphone and played the video Inukuso had collected.

A conspiracy to tarnish Hyunseong’s honor and to undermine him.

Shouts insulting and slandering Hyunseong.

“If I disclose this to the media, I think the Japanese people will understand me too, right?”

No, beyond the level of understanding, I would immediately disband Prime Minister Akunabe and the cabinet to relieve Hyunseong’s anger.

“Hey, you Inukuso!”

Prime Minister Akunabe sharpened it.

The only person whose voice and appearance do not appear in the video.

It was only Inukuso among the cabinet members.

“Isn’t this the time to curse Inukuso?”

Prime Minister Akunabe’s mind flashed at Hyunseong’s words.

“We will hand over all ownership of the dungeon on Honshu Island.”

“You should have come out like that.”

A satisfied smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips.

“Oh, and don’t touch Inukuso. Don’t even let me resign as Minister. Do you know?”

“I will.”

Prime Minister Akunabe clenched his fists and answered.

His nails dig into his palms and bleed.

But Prime Minister Akunabe felt no pain.

It was only forcibly suppressing and suppressing the boiling anger.

“Are you going to drag it for a long time? I’ve prepared the paperwork, so why don’t you sign it right here?”

Hyunseong held out the papers.

Prime Minister Akunabe had no choice but to suppress his anger and sign the documents for his fans.

Hyunseong left the prime minister’s residence.

“Inukuso, you bastard!”

Prime Minister Akunabe shouted and shouted at the whale whale.

“You dare betray me! Sell ​​your country!”

As the name suggests, I thought it was a hunting dog that listens very well to words.

However, Inukuso was not his hunting dog.

He was Hyunseong’s hound.

“Never let go.”

What to do with Hyunseong was impossible with Prime Minister Akunabe’s abilities.

However, he could never forgive Inukuso who sold the country.

Prime Minister Akunabe vowed to kill Inukuso at any cost.

rumble!

At that moment, the door to the office opened violently and the head of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office rushed in.

“Sir Prime Minister! It’s a big deal!”

“What’s going on, but?”

“Po, the mob is coming! You must leave now!”

“A mob? What does that mean?”

The shouts of the angry crowd could be heard in Prime Minister Akunabe’s bewildered ears.

“Catch Prime Minister Akunabe!”

“Let’s beat Prime Minister Maekukno Akunabe to death!”

“Wow!”

With the shouts of an angry crowd, the Prime Minister’s residence turned into a mess.
