Level 1 Player

Chapter 17 seeds of discord

Aaaaaaah!

Red-maned wolves roared fiercely and rushed from all directions.

Hyunseong slowly fired his skills and swept away the crowd of red-maned wolves.

Before long, the red-maned wolves that were around were cleaned up.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

In the place where the red mane wolves had died in a pile, the piled up magic stones were neatly devoured by the jet-black subspace.

In the past, it was one thing to recover the Mana Stones after the hunt was over.

However, after the subspace was created, such a thorny problem was solved neatly.

It was like having a warehouse-type pet that automatically acquires and stores items that have fallen on the floor in the game.

Hyunseong simply bought the subspace skill to deceive the amount of Manastone.

However, surprisingly, the subspace skill also helped increase hunting efficiency.

Was it because of that?

Hyunseong was able to achieve the purpose in a shorter time after purchasing the subspace.

-Unbelievable Achievements – Legendary Rank

– You have hunted 10,000 high-level monsters, Red Mane Wolf, alone.

– Achievement Reward: Title [Red Mane Wolf Slayer – Legendary Rank]

‘It’s finally graduation.’

A satisfied smile hung on Hyunseong’s lips.

‘Let’s finish here for today and organize our items.’

I was exhausted because I had hunted too hard to get the title of Slayer.

Hyunseong opened a subspace as he headed towards the dungeon entrance.

In the meantime, he was so absorbed in hunting that he didn’t even check what the space had eaten.

You don’t have to worry about magic stones.

However, it was good to use the skill book or item right away.

‘This is a duplicate.’

The duplicate skill book was put back into the subspace.

‘Ohh!’

Hyunseong’s eyes twinkled.

It was a new skill book.

Winds of Regeneration – Normal Rating

-Passive skill book

-Increases wound healing speed.

-Passive Skillbook Wind of Regeneration – Do you want to acquire a normal rank?

-[Yes No]

‘It’s finally here.’

Among the general grades, it was a skill book that was sold at a fairly high price.

It was a skill that the general public as well as players with a high frequency of injury could learn and watch regardless of their position.

‘It hasn’t come out for a while.’

Hyunseong clicked yes.

At that moment, the magic of the skill book was absorbed into Hyunseong’s body.

With him, an absurd message appeared before Hyunseong’s eyes.

-Passive Skill Regeneration Wind – You have failed to acquire a normal grade.

‘what?’

Failing to acquire skills?

I’ve never heard of such a case.

But the message did not end there.

-Passive Skill Book of Immortality – The only rare grade has absorbed the Passive Skillbook Wind of Regeneration – Normal grade.

-Passive skill Book of Immortality – Unique Rare rank has grown.

‘what’s this?’

Hyunseong opened the status window with an absurd expression and pressed the book of immortality.

Book of Immortality – Unique Rare Rating

-Passive skill

-Doesn’t die unless the head is completely destroyed.

-All wounds heal slowly unless you die instantly.

– This is a growth skill.

The content was the same as before.

Nothing has changed.

‘But apparently the Book of Immortality has grown.’

I was quite frustrated because I didn’t know how to develop the Book of Immortality skill.

But now the answer is out.

‘You are absorbing skills that increase recovery.’

Wind of Regeneration, a general grade skill, is a backward compatible version of the only rare grade Immortality Tome.

The lower version skill was eaten by the higher version skill.

‘But how much have you grown?’

There was no way to know how much the effect had improved.

Hyunseong made a small cut on his finger with a vampire sword, just in case.

The wound began to heal slowly.

‘There is no difference.’

Hyunseong’s face was distorted.

‘How the hell do you have to eat to grow?’

Wind of Regeneration is an expensive skill book that costs at least 30 million won.

However, there is no change in performance after eating such an expensive skillbook.

‘The fuel economy is very bad.’

I felt cramped as to what time period to develop the book of immortality.

Hyunseong, who had escaped the red mane wolf dungeon, turned on his smartphone.

It was to call his mother.

Wow!

But as soon as I turned on my smartphone, the phone calls started coming in.

It was an unsaved number.

‘Is it spam?’

However, it was a number starting with 010 that was not registered in the spam call blocking application.

‘Let’s get it.’

Someone in your acquaintance may have changed your number.

If you receive a spam call, hang up as soon as you receive it.

“Hello?”

-Hello, Choi Hyunseong.

‘Who is it?’

It was the first voice I heard.

– My name is Dae-Woong Seo, the 2nd support team leader of the Seo-Woo Guild.

The moment he heard the word Seowoo Guild, Hyunseong’s face became firm and contorted.“I would have told you not to contact me unless you were willing to accept my requirements.”

-Are you talking about the 100 billion won contract?

“That’s right.”

– I will accept it. Let’s meet right away and sign the contract.

Hyunseong was not a bit bewildered at the opponent’s acceptance.

“Are you serious?”

-of course. There can be no lies in this big money transaction.

“I am still hunting, so it will be difficult right now. Can you send me the contract first?”

– I’ll send it to you right now.

“Then we will contact you after confirming the contract.”

Hyunseong hung up the phone with those words.

After a while, the contract flew in by text.

‘It’s hard to rest.’

Hyunseong led his tired body toward the lawyer’s office.

Upon arriving at the lawyer’s office, Hyunseong showed the lawyer the contract with the contract amount deleted.

“This is a very good contract. Welfare benefits are also pretty good. However, there are quite a few provisions that can be bitten when the opponent comes out maliciously.”

Hyunseong’s eyes twinkled at the lawyer’s words.

“What are the provisions that can be bitten when it comes out maliciously?”

“For now, this is the part. If the actions of a guild member damage the dignity of the guild, the contract can be terminated. In fact, this is a rather unreasonable provision as it is entirely at the discretion of the guild leader. In addition, the contract can be canceled if the skills and mentality of the guild members are poor. This clause is the same.”

Simply put, it meant that Hyunseong could be expelled by just changing the thinking of the guild leaders without clear standards.

“I don’t know how much the down payment is, but the penalty is quite high. If the contract is canceled due to the fault of the contractor, 10 times the amount of the down payment must be compensated.”

‘These motherfuckers.’

I did it anyway, but it was.

A deadly poison was hidden in a contract full of sweetness.

“From my point of view, if you amend the penalty clause to the full amount of the down payment and ask for the unreasonable clause to be deleted, I don’t think there will be any loss even if you sign the contract.”

‘There is no need to go to another lawyer’s office.’

I was thinking of going to another lawyer’s office if I had only said good things about the contract.

But it didn’t seem necessary.

Wow!

Then Hyunseong’s smartphone rang.

The caller was Jinseong Ko, the first scout team leader of the Seo Guild.

‘I have to tell you for sure.’

I thought that I would have to deal with the wretchedness of the occasional contract.

“Can I call you for a moment?”

“of course.”

Hyunseong got up and answered the phone.

“Hello?”

-Oh, Choi Hyunseong, how have you been? That contract. Do you have any intention of negotiating with 50 billion won?

As soon as he picked up the phone, Jin-Sung Ko talked about the business urgently.

And Hyunseong’s head began to spin rapidly upon hearing Jinsung’s words.

“Is that amount difficult? The down payment I wanted was 100 billion won, not 50 billion.”

– Hahaha, I know that well. But you have to think about practical issues. It is said that the Seou Guild is a huge guild, but it is difficult to accept that amount of money. Even 50 billion won is the amount I was only allowed to take due to the circumstances of the upper management.

“Let’s think about it.”

-Yes? Is that really it?

Go Jin-Sung asked in surprise.I poked it without expecting it, but surprisingly, a positive response came back.

“Yes, can I get the contract before that?”

-of course. We will send it to you right away.

Hyunseong hung up the phone.

And soon after, the contract arrived.

“Could you please take a look at this too?”

“You seem like a really good player. That’s good.”

For the lawyer, the longer the consultation time, the more he could be paid, so there was no need to decline.

Hyunseong sent the contract with the down payment part erased to the lawyer.

“Well… … .”

The lawyer, who thoroughly read the contract that Hyunseong had sent, made a mysterious expression.

“Is the contract written by the same guild you sent me by any chance?”

“How did you know?”

At the lawyer’s question, Hyunseong asked with a surprised expression.

“Overall, the form of the contract is the same. It was only partially different. The toxin clause is a little less this, but overall it’s similar. Still, the penalty is 5 times, so I am a little more conscientious.”

Put simply, both meant contracts with a lot of toxin clauses.

“Why did another contract come from the same guild?”

Hyunseong asked the lawyer.

There were some guesses, but I wanted to make sure.

“It is presumed that there is an infighting in the guild that wants to scout you. If you send a separate contract, the faction fight seems to be quite serious. This is an advantage for you. If you play tightrope in moderation, you can sign a contract on better terms.”

“Can you make a new contract based on the first contract and remove the toxin clause?”

“Of course it is possible. There have been over 100 modifications to the contracts between players and guilds I have been in charge of. Trust me.”

“Then I wish you well.”

Shortly thereafter, a contract was created with the toxin clause removed.

“Very good.”

A bright smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips, who accepted the contract.

After leaving the lawyer’s office, Hyunseong searched for information about the Seowoo Guild.

‘Very badass.’

The faction struggle of the Seo Guild was so serious that it was exposed to the outside.

‘Guild Master Ma Ji-hoon and Secondary Guild Master Seong-woo Ra… … .’

Among Seo Dae-woong and Ko Jin-seong, who was the guild master faction and who was the sub-guild master faction, even Hyunseong could not know.

But he didn’t have to try to find out.

With just a few phone calls, the inside of the Seo Guild can be a mess.

Hyunseong first called Seo Dae-woong.

-This is Seou Guild 2nd support team leader Seo Dae-woong.

“This is Choi Hyunseong.”

-Oh, Choi Hyunseong! Have you made a decision?

“After a lot of thought, I think the down payment is too small. Is it possible to make a contract of 200 billion won?”

– It’s difficult for me to give a definitive answer right now. But I think it’s probably possible.

“Then 300 billion?”

A little silence followed.

-Are you kidding me right now?

Seo Dae-woong’s voice rose slightly.

“no. In fact, I also contacted Jinseong Ko, the first scout team leader of the Seou Guild. It seems the two of you didn’t get along very well… … .”

Hyunseong clouded his tail.

– I will set you on a higher condition than Go Jin-Sung.

A satisfied smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips upon hearing Seo Dae-woong’s words.

Hyunseong, who immediately hung up the phone, called Ko Jin-seong this time.

-This is Jinseong Ko, the 1st scout team leader of Seou Guild.

“This is Choi Hyunseong.”

-Yes, Choi Hyunseong, have you reviewed the contract?

“It was very positive. In fact, I was going to contact you to make a contract right away.”

– Then see you right away. I will run to the place where Choi Hyunseong is right now.

“But I don’t think there is a need for that.”

-Yes? What is that?

“I just texted you a contract. Let’s check that first and continue the story.”

-all right. Please wait a moment.

Some time passed.

But Go Jin-Sung was speechless.

“Did you check?”

-Ah yes.

Jinseong Ko answered Hyunseong’s question with a shaky voice.

“Next time, please unify the internal opinions and send the contract. And when I think about it, 100 billion won in down payment seems like a very small amount.”

-Yes? What is that?

“Two billion dollars. No, that’s too little. 300 billion.”

– Hey, Choi Hyunseong! Are you kidding me right now?

“If you don’t like it, drink it.”

Hyunseong hung up the phone with those words.

And after about 5 minutes, I sent the audio file that I modified the conversation with Seo Dae-woong according to Hyunseong’s convenience to Ko Jin-seong.

In today’s world, editing voice files was not a task.

Then he removed the phone’s battery.

‘I have to change to a smartphone or a new one.’

It looked like they had to sleep or take a deep breath while the two of them clashed and quarreled.

* * *

A month has passed.

Hyunseong used Ah space to quickly increase his title without attracting attention around him.

As the points piled up, his appearance, which had the appearance of a middle-aged man, was also regaining his original appearance.

that time.

Seo-Woo Guild’s sub-guild master Jeong Seong-Woo was in a very difficult situation.

“Where the hell did you go?”

In an angry voice, Jung Sung-woo urged Seo Dae-woong, the second support team leader.

“They are not showing up at all in the dungeons we are managing. I’m looking for someone to release… … .”

Seo Dae-woong curled the tail of his horse.

“Aren’t you the only one with the ability to do that? Find it by all means!”

Seo Dae-woong bowed his head as if he was apologizing to Jung Sung-woo’s roar.

But that was only the outward appearance.

‘I don’t know what to do… … .’

The Seou Guild has been split in two due to a faction battle between the guild leader and the sub-guild leader.

Of course, sharing information is not easy.

Also, no matter how much the Seowoo Guild, the state-managed player dungeon access records cannot be viewed at will.

The fact that the guild leader faction was able to quickly obtain personal information about Choi Hyunseong in the early days was because it was so lucky.But not now.

Whether it went down to the ground or ascended to the sky, the deeds themselves have completely disappeared.

“You didn’t join another guild, did you?”

“Probably not.”

“Perhaps not? Are you saying that now? I don’t want to see you, so get out now!”

“Yes!”

Seo Dae-woong quickly withdrew at Jeong Seong-woo’s cry.

“Damn it… … .”

Jung Sung-woo bowed his head with a look of pain in his head.

The contract and voice file sent by Hyunseong were the starting point of the problem.

The Ma Ji-hoon faction started running around saying that Jung Sung-woo approached him prematurely and ruined the work.

The Jeong Seong-woo faction sparked an uproar that Ma Ji-hoon failed to do his job properly and blamed them for what happened.

As a result of this incident, the feud between the two factions, which had been accumulated for a long time, exploded.

The Ma Ji-hoon faction blamed Jeong Seong-woo for all the failed recruitments in the past, and severely criticized it.

The Jeong Seong-woo faction also did not lose and criticized Ma Ji-hoon, the guild master, for his lack of ability.

As a result, the current Seowoo Guild was split in two.

The problem is that the contract and audio file that Hyunseong manipulated has become a weakness of the Jeong Seong-woo faction.

Jung Sung-woo claimed that the contract and voice files were forged, but the trend has already turned.

The general guild members turned to the side of the guild master Ma Ji-hoon as a whole.

‘I need to find it quickly… … .’

You have to convince Choi Hyunseong, who started the problem, to join the guild.

Even if that was the case, Jihoon Ma could be held responsible for the failed recruitment in the past.

* * *

Hyunseong, who split the Seowoo Guild in two, was busy hunting peacefully today.

‘The points you get from hunting are pretty good too.’

Hyunseong invested 14 to 15 hours out of 24 hours hunting.

As a result, purely hunting points alone exceeded 600,000 points a day.

The points given by each animal are small, but they are quite a lot of points because they are gathered together to be called Taesan.

Sales of electronic products are currently at a standstill.

However, battery sales continued to be strong.

In particular, as sales of electronic products accumulated, the sales of batteries ignited.

Contrary to the expectation that sales volume would decrease as time went by, it actually increased.

‘If you go like this, it will be soon.’

As battery sales skyrocketed, in just a month, Hyunseong’s appearance was that of an early 30’s.

If the current sales volume were maintained, it was likely that he could return to his original form within a week.

If there’s one problem… … .

‘There are too few sales windows.’

Only 10.

As battery sales accelerated, a problem arose.

I put batteries in the subspace and when a sale message pops up, they supplement it after the hunt is over, but it wasn’t too much trouble.

He decidedly couldn’t do it, even if he wanted to replenish it when supplies ran out while he was sleeping.

‘It would be nice to be registered in bulk like a game.’

For example, if it is a system that can register 10,000 batteries and set the price per unit, it is inevitably convenient for Hyunseong.

Unfortunately, there was no such function in the sales window.

‘I can’t take out the electronics… … .’

Electronic products give you a lot of points at once.It doesn’t sell well, but if it sells, it gives Hyunseong a big point.

Batteries are sold only when electronic products are sold.

The electronic products Hyunseong sold were tablet PCs, smartphones, and game consoles.

It originally sold more varieties, but has narrowed it down to the top three for efficiency.

‘Are you going to change something when your rank goes up?’

In the case of other sellers, they placed hundreds or thousands of items and sold them in bulk.

A representative figure was re-commerce, which focused on selling elixirs.

The number of items registered under the name of re-commerce was so vast that the end could not be seen.

‘When are you going up?’

Hyunseong’s current accumulated points are less than 5 billion won.

It seems like it will pass soon, but you need to reach 10 billion points in order to raise your rank.

It’s not even halfway there yet.

‘You have to work harder.’

Selling goods is not something that Hyunseong can do with his efforts.

But hunting was different.

The more time you invest in hunting, the more points you earn.

‘I need to increase my hunting time.’

That was the only way.

‘Magic Missile.’

Whoops!

yep!

The Toad Man who was hit by the skill died.

Kyaaaaaah!

At the same time, the Toadmen, angry at the death of their colleague, rushed to Hyunseong.

Long tongue and poison.

In addition, Todd Man, who secured mobility with his excellent jumping skills, was a fairly demanding monster.

But on the contrary… … .

‘Fireball.’

weak against fire.

Whoops!

The Todd men who rushed to Hyunseong were all engulfed in flames and ended their lives.

Left!

Those who came closer swung their vampire swords and dealt with them.

Aaaaaaah!

After the hunt was over, Aspace ate the Manastone.

– The registered item has been sold.

– The registered item has been sold.

– The registered item has been sold.

… … aftermath… …

The moment Hyunseong was about to move to the next hunting ground, a message for selling items appeared.

‘Looks like someone swept the batteries.’

Customers who bought electronic products had a habit of stocking up on batteries.

Hyunseong opened a sales window to replenish the batteries.

That was then.

-I received a complaint from the buyer, Crow, who purchased the seller Choi Hyunseong’s items. If complaints persist and accumulate, the seller’s rating may be reduced or business may be suspended. Please be careful. Would you like to read the complaint?

-[Yes No]-I received a complaint from the buyer, Crow, who purchased the seller Choi Hyunseong’s items. If complaints persist and accumulate, the seller’s rating may be reduced or business may be suspended. Please be careful. Would you like to read the complaint?

-[Yes No]

… … aftermath… …

There were a lot of complaints.

‘what?’

I felt something ominous.

‘Let’s check the message first.’

XX Battery – General Grade Complain

– In the future, try to sell it at half the price of the current sale price. The sale time is exactly 12 hours from now. You will regret it if you don’t listen to me.

XX Battery – General Grade Complain

– In the future, try to sell it at half the price of the current sale price. The sale time is exactly 12 hours from now. You will regret it if you don’t listen to me.

… … aftermath… …

All complaints were identical.

‘what’s this?’

Is it a consumer revolt?

I felt puzzled.

Fortunately, the suspension of business did not fall as before.

The number of items Hyunseong has sold so far exceeds thousands.

It is not at the level that there will be a problem just because there are 6 complaints right now.

However, if this type of complaint continues, there is no choice but to suspend business.

‘Crow… … .’

Hyunseong looked at the products posted by a seller named Crow.

Starting with Elixir, skill books, weapons, armor, accessories, etc.

It was a subject that had nothing to sell.

He looked at the list where he had purchased his items, just in case.

‘what?’

Crow’s purchase of Hyunseong’s items was the first and last record of battery sales just before.

There were no records of purchases of game consoles, smartphones, tablet PCs, and spare batteries.

‘Why?’

Hyunseong thought that a customer who was constantly purchasing batteries to use electronic products had a complaint due to tantrums.

But that wasn’t it.

Complaints were also funny.

‘Are you going to sell it for half the price now? At the time he was notified? why me?’

The selling price moves according to the laws of supply and demand.

Hyunseong is the exclusive seller.

It is in a monopoly position to hold and shake the price.

Of course, if the selling price is so high that buyers continue to complain, and sales drop, they may drop the price.

But now, the items Hyunseong posted are selling very well.

In particular, in the case of battery sales, the fire was well-lit as customers flocked to buy-in.

It is not that there were no complaints after Guest and Baekhwa.

Complaints came in immediately after the sale of electronic razors, Polaroid cameras, and Tamagotchi.

They said that they sold these useless items at a price of 100 million points.

After the complaint, the electronic razor, Polaroid camera, and Tamagotchi were sold in small batches, but not a single one was sold shortly thereafter.

The same was true for other items.

All items except game consoles, smartphones, tablet PCs, auxiliary batteries and batteries received complaints.

And as if promised, not a single one was sold.
