Level 1 Player

Chapter 197 partnership

‘I still haven’t heard from you.’

I thought I'd get a call by now.

but it was still quiet.

That was then.

Wow!

A text arrived on Hyunseong's smartphone.

The content was simple.

I would like to meet you in person and talk to you.

A bright smile appeared on Hyunseong's lips.

‘It’s over.’

If you meet and talk in person, you will never be able to refuse Hyunseong's offer.

"Cairo."

“Yes, Master.”

“I’m preparing, Marcos is going to apply for a mercenary job.”

"all right."

When Hyunseong applied for a mercenary job via text message, he replied that he would hire him right away.

‘Since smartphones have become widespread, this is convenient.’

If it had been before, Marcos would have only talked to each other by purchasing the items Cairo had sold and complaining.

However, the spread of smartphones has greatly accelerated the speed of information exchange between dimensions.

“I was hired.”

Wrath!

As soon as Cairo finished speaking, a bright beam of light erupted, revealing a player.

‘Weak.’

Marcos had a stat that was only at the level of a few hundred levels.

“Nice to meet you, Marcos.”

Hyunseong smiled and greeted me.

“Ah, yes, it’s nice to meet you too, Cairo.”

At Marcos' words, Hyunseong smiled and opened her mouth.

“Cairo is this guy. My name is Choi Hyunseong.”

"Yes? What is that?”

Marcos, who thought Hyunseong was Cairo, had a somewhat bewildered expression on his face.

“I will postpone that explanation a little later. What matters now is our partnership.”

At Hyunseong's words, Marcos' eyes twinkled.

“It is. You said you could help me, and I'd like to know more about that.”

“For now, we cannot release the business suspension itself. That's the realm of the system. But we can give you the same effect as if the suspension was lifted.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a proxy sale.”

"Yes?"

“Reach out your hand.”

At Hyunseong's words, Marcos held out his hand.

Hyunseong handed over 1 trillion points to Marcos.

"Ugh!"

Marcos was terribly surprised.

The total of the points Marcos had earned so far was only 500 billion points.

However, twice as many points were delivered at once.“As you can see, level 1 players can exchange points with each other. Then it is possible for me to sell Marcos’s items for you.”

"Ahhh!"

“I know that you had a sales competition with a person named Saukrani a while ago. I'll fight for you. Cairo has been selling goods for a long time, so there will be no suspension of sales.”

“Is that really true? He seemed like a huge refusal, didn't he?"

“If Cairo gets a sales suspension, I will use other first-level players to fight Saukrani to the end. There are thousands of level 1 players under my command. So you don't have to worry too much.”

When Marcos heard that the number of level 1 players under his control reached thousands, his mouth widened.

He realized that his opponent was a tycoon that far exceeded his expectations.

“And if you find out the dimensional coordinates of a person named Saukrani, I will punish him directly on behalf of Marcos-sama.”

“Is that really possible?”

"of course. I have already won numerous dimensional wars.”

Marcos flinched at the word dimensional warfare.

But he soon came to his senses and opened his mouth.

"If you're that strong, why didn't you invade the dimension I'm in?"

“The reason is the existence of a safety barrier. The safety barrier is… … .”

Hyunseong calmly explained the safety barrier to Marcos.

And finally added.

“Even if there were no safety barriers, I would never have invaded Marcos-sama's dimension. It would be much more beneficial to hold hands than to fight each other.”

Hearing Hyunseong's words, Marcos calmly nodded his head.

“Would you mind giving me some time to think?”

"of course. It's important, but you have to be careful with your decision. Oh, and one more thing, I am willing to pay the down payment from Marcos-sama at the same time as the partnership.”

“A contract? Wasn’t 1 trillion points a down payment?”

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

At Marcos' question, Hyunseong burst into laughter.

“How can such a penny turn into a down payment? If Marcos-sama wants it, I am willing to give it hundreds or even thousands of times.”

At Hyunseong's answer, Marcos's soul was half gone.

“Marcos?”

Despite Hyunseong's call, Marcos could not give a proper answer.

He was just muttering to himself with a blank expression on his face.

“Thousands of times… … then… … Thousands of points... … . If that's the case... … .”

Hyunseong calmly waited for Marcos to come to his senses.

He gave a whole lot of 1 trillion points as a gift without any conditions.

After that, he promised a huge sum of tens of trillions of points.

He was determined and shook Marcos' heart.

“Hey, I’ll just go back. And I will get back to you later.”

At Marcos' words, Hyunseong smiled and nodded his head.

“You do that. If you need a consultation, please feel free to contact us. You can call or text me.”

"all right. Then come on.”

Wrath!

Marcos disappeared with a bright halo.

'I think I'm almost over.'

Hyunseong looked at the half-caught fish and looked at the place where Marcos disappeared.

* * *

Marcos, who returned from meeting Hyunseong, couldn't sleep properly for several days.

It is because his heart was shaken by the word of trillions of points.

‘If you have trillions of points, you can become the best player right now.’

Then he can Jailbreak those who looked down on him and ignored him.

He was also able to get out of the dreadful poverty right away.There is only one problem.

The principle that nothing is free in the world struck me.

‘You will definitely get a fee.’

Sales agency fee.

That will probably become a new source of income for Hyunseong.

To put it mildly, Hyunseong was an investor who invested in him and wanted to get a profit, not a philanthropist who wanted to give him unconditionally.

'If you invest thousands of trillions in me, I'll try to get hundreds of trillions of points in profit.'

That was the natural world.

‘What should I do?’

The reason the opponent offered a large amount of points was to protect the market he had occupied and to obtain a middle margin.

‘It will be easier if you accept it.’

However, Marcos' gain is reduced.

‘Even if it’s difficult, will I try to solve it with my own strength?’

But it takes too long.

Marcos was suspended for three months, and the suspension could be 30 or 300 months.

Ding Dong!

Then someone rang the doorbell of Marcos' house.

'Who is it?'

Marcos got up from his seat with a puzzled expression.

At the same time, he activated the detection skill.

'Damn it.'

Marcos' expression hardened.

This is because the players who used the stealth skill were besieging Marcos' house.

"Who are you?"

Marcos asked in a calm tone.

“I came from the Troller Guild.”

“What happened to my house?”

“You haven’t answered my previous offer yet.”

“After thinking about it a bit more and making a decision, I will contact you separately.”

“Don’t do that, let’s talk first… … .”

The person who came out of the Troller Guild hesitated for a while and then disappeared.

However, the players who used the stealth skill did not disappear.

‘It’s about monitoring my every move.’

What if Marcos gives a bad answer to the Troller Guild?

Watchers could have turned into assassins.

'Damn it.'

Both in the system shop and in real life, there were too many people targeting him.

'Thousands of points.'

Not hundreds of billions, but tens of billions.

What if you get those points?

Even if the entire troller guild attacked, he would not be able to control himself.

‘I don’t have time.’

The system store was suspended from sales.

In reality, a huge guild is aiming for them.

What if I can't increase my strength right away?

‘You could be in a position to become an item vending machine.’Things would have been a little better had it not been for the suspension of sales.

One stop selling and an enemy called the Troller Guild was weighing on Marcos.

‘You have to make a decision.’

Marcos swallowed dry saliva and stood up.

made a decision

Marcos texted Hyunseong.

After a while.

Wrath!

Marcos, engulfed in a bright light, disappeared from his room.

* * *

“Nice to meet you, Marcos.”

Hyunseong greeted Marcos with a smile.

“Can you give me 5,000 trillion points as a down payment?”

Marcos asked Hyunseong without saying goodbye.

"Of course it's possible. If only you could sign the contract.”

“I want to see the contract first.”

At Marcos' words, Hyunseong nodded and showed the soul's contract that he had written in advance.

Marcos read the contract meticulously.

Overall, the contract had no major problems.

Marcos hands over the goods to Hyunseong.

Then Hyunseong sells the things Marcos passed on.

Hyunseong's gain was commissions from the middle.

“The commission is over 20%.”

Marcos said with a slightly stiff expression.

20%?

Isn't that too much?

“I am willing to make any changes if you wish. However, the amount of the down payment may be reduced by that much.”

“How much is the contract amount?”

“Yes, I am not digging and trading, am I? For me, 5,000 trillion points is not a small number of points. In addition, I have to fight a bloody contest with a guy named Saukrani. How long will it take for me to recover a down payment of 5,000 trillion points with a 20% profit?”

Even Marcos, who had been thinking for a while, understood it to some extent.

5,000 trillion points is a down payment, not an advance payment.

If you give up the 20% rate, Marcos can get 5,000 trillion points right away, and 80% of the profits from selling things in the future.

No matter how well Marcos' electronics sell, it will take an incredibly long time to earn 5,000 trillion points at 20% profit.

“If you want, we can lower the down payment and raise Marcos’s ratio to 80% or more.”

At Hyunseong's words, Marcos pondered over and over again.

I wasn't worried about whether to sign a contract or not.

‘Would you like to lower the down payment and raise the rate? No, I need points to be strong right now. rather… … .'

Marcos, who had finished contemplating, opened his mouth.

“Give me 1 point as a down payment. Then we will raise Choi Hyunseong’s ratio to 30%.”

Marcos made a deal... … .

"Well… … great."

Hyunseong called for a call.

“There is only one condition.”

Hyunseong's expression changed in a strange way.

“Conditions?”

The rice is cooked and turned into rice.

But what are the conditions?

‘Are you asking for more points?’

However, if it were, I would have called for a higher point from the beginning, and would not have added the word condition.

“Please be afflicted with the skill I am casting. After that, please answer my questions.”

“Is that skill a contract of truth?”

"That's right."

“Do you think I played a prank on the soul contract? It's really annoying. Did you not write the contract together? If in doubt, take another look at the Soul Contract!”

Hyunseong raised his voice with a displeased expression.

"no. I just want to check something. If you accept my terms, I will increase the commission rate by 20% for 10 years. How are you? From Choi Hyunseong's point of view, this is a condition where there is nothing to lose. You only need to answer my question once.”

Whether it was because Hyunseong raised his voice with a displeased expression on his face, or because he knew what he was saying was quite rude, Marcos made a big deal.

At the same time, he secretly provoked Hyunseong.

It's like saying if you haven't committed any crimes, call right away.

Hyunseong could have called right away.

But he instinctively felt it was time for him to make a deal.

“Ugh.”

Hyunseong hesitated with a worried expression on his face.

“Why? Have you ever stabbed anything?”

Marcos asked Hyunseong provocatively.

“Please extend the period to 30 years. And give me the freedom to choose the time period for adjusting the fee rate. Then I will accept it.”

At Hyunseong's words, Marcos hesitated this time.

To triple the duration means to triple the duration Marcos loses.

What if Hyunseong could freely set the deadline for adjusting the fee ratio?

Naturally, it will be reflected temporarily when sales peak to maximize profits.

Hyunseong's gain was equal to Marcos' loss.

“I will. Instead, if you can't answer my question, conversely, give me a 20% rate increase for 30 years."

Marcos, who was still struggling, put a deal to Hyunseong in the opposite direction.

“Hahaha, there’s nothing wrong with me. In my mind, it is to the extent that I wish that the deadline was extended to 300 years instead of 30 years.”

Hyunseong exclaimed with a slightly trembling voice.

“Then do you really want to do that?”

"Yes?"

“I mean, would you really like to increase the deadline to three hundred years?”

At Marcos' words, Hyunseong put on a bewildered expression.

But still, inside, I cheered.

“Didn’t you say three hundred years first?”

At Marcos' words, Hyunseong hardened his expression.

“If you don’t get stabbed, accept it.”

Marcos pushed Hyunseong away.

"under! I don't know what the hell you're asking, but I'm sure you'll benefit greatly! But Marcos-sama will incur great losses!”

Hyunseong exclaimed.

“I’m fine.”

"all right. Then we do it.”

Hyunseong accepted Marcos' terms.

Actually, Hyunseong didn't need to act.

I didn't lie, I didn't deceive Marcos.

But Hyunseong acted on purpose.

It was because he had a rough idea of ​​what question Marcos was going to ask.

Hyunseong threw the bait just in case, and Marcos asked.‘Well, it’s better to clean up the doubts and go.’

If you have any doubts, you may have a relationship later on.

In addition, he did not want to miss the opportunity to eat 50% of the total sales for the past 300 years.

“Then I will cast the skill.”

At Marcos' words, Hyunseong nodded.

Marcos has cast the contract of truth skill.

- The contract of truth skill has been cast. Will you accept the skill?

-[Yes No]

Hyunseong chose yes.

Marcos' magical energy penetrated into Hyunseong's body.

You could have forced it to stop.

However, Hyunseong meekly accepted Marcos' magic.

“I will only ask you one thing. Have you ever had any direct or indirect involvement in any of Saukrani’s actions?”

‘It was also this.’

Hyunseong's prediction was correct.

"There is not."

In response to Hyunseong's answer, Marcos' expression asked with bewilderment.

“Is that really true? Have you never had anything to do with a person named Saukrani, either through your subordinates or through anything?”

“I was unaware of the existence of a person called Saukrani until this incident happened.”

At Hyunseong's answer, Marcos put on a disappointed expression.

“Then why just before?”

At Marcos' question, Hyunseong smiled and opened her mouth.

“Isn’t there one question? You seem to be asking too many questions?”

At Hyunseong's words, Marcos realized that he had been fishing.

But he had already spilled the water.

“Okay then, sign it.”

Hyunseong held out the revised soul contract to Marcos.

With a frown on Marcos' face, Hyunseong wrote his name on the contract of the soul.

Wrath!

After signing, the contract of the soul was divided into two and permeated into the bodies of Hyunseong and Marcos.

"I hope to go along well."

Hyunseong smiled and held out his hand… … .

“… … .”

Marcos held Hyunseong's hand with a look of chewing astringency.

* * *

‘I was deceived.’

Marcos noticed that he had been deceived by Hyunseong's acting.

But there were no regrets.

‘Because I was the one who tried to deceive the other person first and was overly greedy.’

Marcos had suspicions that Hyunseong and Saukrani might have been holding hands.

In fact, the timing was so tight that he couldn't help but doubt.

After rejecting Hyunseong's offer, Saukrani began to attack.

As the business was suspended due to Saukrani's attack, Hyunseong made a deal with generous terms.

In fact, from Marcos's point of view, even if Hyunseong and Saukrani were holding hands, there was no way to resist.

Saukrani's attack was ruthless, and Marcos, whose sales volume was low, had no way to counter it.

Also, even if Saukrani was defeated and business resumed normally, Marcos's growth would be limited without Hyunseong's cooperation.

A jewel of exchange.Hyunseong sold electronics and alternating current jewellery separately.

Thanks to that, it was possible to apply alternating current jewels to the electronic products Marcos sold.

But what if Hyunseong stops selling AC's jewelry?

After that, what if you put the exchange jewel on all the products you sell and then release it?

Among the electronic products Marcos sells, those that require multilateral communication are inevitably useless.

Therefore, Marcos meekly accepted the contract of the soul while doubting that Hyunseong and Saukrani were holding hands.

Then he made a bet just in case.

If Hyunseong and Saukrani really joined hands, they were going to benefit from the condition that they split more ratios.

What if that was your mistake?

It was a pity, but he thought he was giving a greater benefit to Hyunseong, the benefactor who saved him from the crisis.

but… … .

‘It’s a waste.’

I was deceived by Hyunseong's acting and dedicated 20% more profits for 300 years.

What if I had received a 20% rate as a down payment?

'I may have received 2 points as a down payment instead of 1 point.'

That was really sad.

Marcos shook his head, shaking his head to shake off his disappointment.

‘One view point is enough.’

Marcos went shopping happily.

I bought all the elixir and raised the stat to the limit.

After that, I bought a skill book and learned it with fun.

Armor, weapons, and accessories were also set to full.

The first achievement was released and the stats continued to increase.

‘Everyone is dead.’

After finishing the setting, Marcos stood up.

The troller guild that had tormented him in the past.

I was going to show them a Jailbreak.

* * *

‘There are a lot of strange items.’

Hyunseong's mouth widened and opened.

The electronics that Marcos passed on were really diverse.

Also, there were a huge variety of cultural products such as movies, dramas, games, and cartoons.

‘It will grow rapidly.’

What if Saukrani didn't tackle it?

What if Marcos met an assistant like Gespit?

He may have grown to a level comparable to Hyunseong in the shortest amount of time.

But now it wasn't.

'thank God.'

He made Marcos his partner with only one point.

In addition, he blocked the way to meet helpers like Geth Pitt.

“Electronics have their limits.”

Since Marcos became a business partner, no matter how much profit Marcos made by selling electronic products, he could never surpass Hyunseong.

This is because Hyunseong takes 30% of Marcos' profit.

In addition, although there is a time limit of 300 years, you can bring 50% of the profit whenever you want. Of course, it's a growth section now, so I plan to use it later.

Also, Hyunseong holds the jewel of exchange.

Profits generated through the exchange jewel do not go to Marcos.Hyunseong and Guest share a good meal.

‘The jewel of exchange will account for more than 70% of the total sales.’

No matter how much Marcos sold electronic products and cultural goods, the moment he used the multiplayer function using the exchange jewel, the profits had to be passed on to Hyunseong and Gespit.

'If that's dissatisfaction, you'll have to rewrite the soul contract.'

In many ways, it was a contract with nothing to lose to Hyunseong.

* * *

Hyunseong started a dimensional war again after signing with Marcos.

I felt like I was flying because I succeeded in making Marcos, who was almost a strong competitor, into a partner with ease.

As a new product was introduced, the supply of points had to increase.

Hyunseong actively engaged in dimensional warfare and diligently expanded its territory.

Then I got a text from Cairo.

Master, please save me!

'what?'

I thought Cairo would never send a rescue text.

‘Let’s go.’

Hyunseong hastily opened the dimensional gate.

Wrath!

What unfolded in front of Hyunseong, who passed through the dimensional gate, was a large-scale war.

Numerous enemy players attacked the home dimension of Cairo.

The undead army led by Shizura and the former kings and lords were desperately defending it, but the enemy force was too strong.

‘If it wasn’t for Shizura, I would have collapsed sooner.’

The difference in power between the allies and the enemies was huge.

Fragile! Whoops!

Hyunseong used the Black Dragon Magician and the Book of Flames.

At the same time, Shizra's undead army and his subordinates were also given the power of the Black Lightning Shinma Ball and the Book of Flames.

“The Lord has come!”

“Wow!”

“Now I live!”

“Sweep it all away!”

The allies, who had been given power from Hyunseong, started a counterattack.

‘You have to catch the boss.’

In such a large-scale invasion, there was a high probability that the overlord himself had stepped forward.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

At that moment, a powerful magical flow was felt in the distance.

Shoo! Shoo!

Hyunseong used his space movement skill one after another to move to a place where a powerful flow of magic was felt.

“Hey hey!”

“Yes, you bastard, stand there!”

When Hyunseong arrived at the place in question, Cairo screaming and running away, and the enemy player chasing after him came into view.

"master! That's him! That guy!”

Cairo, who found Hyunseong's appearance, raised his voice vigorously.

“That guy is Saukrani!”

After hearing Cairo's words, Hyunseong understood why the sudden massive invasion had occurred.

And he was definitely aware.

'In order to continue to benefit from the contract I made with Marcos, I must get rid of him.'

Fragile! Whoops!

Hyunseong, who covered each other's body in flames and black magic, drew a dragon blood sword and rushed towards Saukrani.
