Level 1 Player

Chapter 51 friend

Kang Seon-young pressed her forehead firmly.

“All 316 people are people who have nothing to do with Choi Hyunseong?”

“Yes, President of the Association. No matter how closely we researched, we didn’t have a face-to-face relationship until Choi Hyunseong was accepted as a member of the team.”

“okay. Stop it.”

“Yes.”

The information team member went out.

‘What the hell does that mean?’

Kang Seon-young stared at the paperwork that contained the roster of 316 people she had named on the kill team.

But she couldn’t come up with an answer if she said so.

What all 316 people have in common is that they are low-level players who have not even made their first job change.

Of course, among the chicks, they stand out in their own way.

But what does that mean?

Among the chicks who have just graduated from the player academy, there are many players who have the potential to grow into rankers.

The problem is that it is very rare that the shoot grows well and grows into a giant tree.

‘Even if you try to think of it as an investment for the future, the efficiency is too low.’

Rather than investing evenly in 316 low-level players with high growth potential, it is better to invest heavily in one high-level player.

It can be used immediately as power, and since it has already grown, there is little chance of it growing in the middle or breaking the body or mind in the middle.

Even if you look forward to 10 years and invest with the mindset of nurturing the farm, it is more beneficial to support middle-level players.

Because they have some outline, and you can see results faster by investing a similar amount.

Crucially… … .

‘It’s completely grazing.’

Hyunseong never visited a player he had visited once more than twice.

They only belonged to the killing team, but their hunting was different.

Before or after meeting Hyunseong, nothing has changed.

‘If it’s like this, I might leave later… … .’

The reason why the Players Association does not over-invest in newbies is related to the contract period.

Newbies need a lot of money to invest.

However, the contract period ends when it becomes usable after some growth.

So, the player association puts a condition in the contract to sign a contract with the player association rather than another guild if the conditions are the same when renewing the contract.

Players with no prospects are discarded, and well-developed players are treated appropriately and captured.

Although it is very rare, even if you are a newbie, if you have a high growth potential, they will definitely support you and tie you up with a long-term contract.

Even if you work hard like this, if you grow up well, you often leave before the contract period is over.

Organize your own party and work independently.

‘If you invest like this, you can be completely seized.’

Among the 316, if a really well-grown case comes out, there is a high probability that he will hit Hyunseong in the back of the head and become independent.

‘Why the hell are you doing this?’

As Kang Seon-young, who did not know the existence of a legendary class job and a monarch, it was inevitable that he would be frustrated.

To be honest, Kang Seon-young thought Hyunseong would put his entourage into the kill team.

Right now, my father is not a player.

Choi Hyunseong’s girlfriend Woo Shia, who lives in the same house, was also a player.

There is also Baek Woo-shin, who was released from slavery with Hyunseong’s help.

But none of them made a team member.

Rather, only those who had nothing to do with it were selected as team members.

‘It must have some purpose.’

Kang Seon-young stared at the documents with the list and tried to find common ground between them and Hyunseong.

But he couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he looked at the roster.

* * *

Hyunseong and Lucia diligently hunted hero grade monsters to build up achievements.

His father and Baek Woo-shin also grew up quickly.

And the growth rate of low-level players who came under Hyunseong was quite fast.

In fact, it was normal.

Hyunseong basically selected only those who stood out to some extent.

It was said that the basic basis was relatively superior to players of the same level.

In addition, they were obsessed with rapidly growing, whether for economic reasons or personal greed.

Hyunseong’s support was added to this.

There was no way it couldn’t grow so fast.

Of course, the 6% increase in all stats due to the monarch’s flag effect also exerted considerable power.

But even taking that into account, the growth rate was very fast.

He was preoccupied with hunting like a madman.

Hyunseong thought simply.

It is said that a desperate person has a chance, so he works hard.However, there was a hidden reason that neither Hyunseong nor the person who hunted hard did not know why they were crazy about hunting.

These were the words Hyunseong threw as if passing by, ‘Hun hard,’ and ‘I hope you become a high-level player soon.’

It was just a polite word during a conversation.

But those words unwittingly stimulated their minds and bodies.

Therefore, even though he had a lot of spare time, he was more passionate about hunting.

Hyunseong seized the opportunity and thought that he was hunting really hard, and thought that low-level players would also have the motivation to hunt when they took the opportunity.

This had a positive effect on both Hyunseong and low-level players.

Hyunseong exited the dungeon after hunting.

And he turned on his smartphone, which he had turned off.

There was a missed call.

“uh?”

Hyunseong immediately pressed the call button with a surprised expression.

-Hello.

The voice of my friend Yoon Seong-ho, whom I hadn’t heard for a long time, came through the handset.

“How are you?”

– I’m fine. But why didn’t you change your number and give us your new contact information?

Hyunseong’s question was followed by a friend’s bruise.

“I was a little busy.”

-Child, no matter how busy you are, if your contact information has changed, you should have sent a group text message.

“I’m sorry. But how did you get my number?”

– Uncle, you said you woke up? So, did you get well?

“Have you met your father?”

Hyunseong and Yun Seong-ho have lived in the same neighborhood since childhood.

Thanks to that, starting with Yoo Ji-won, we went through elementary, middle and high school together all the way to university.

Hyunseong’s father and Seong-ho’s father also got along very well and lived happily with each other.

So Hyunseong and Yun Seong-ho called each other’s father uncle instead of father.

– No, I didn’t see you in person, but he said that he had a drink with his father and uncle yesterday. So I called my uncle to say congratulations and asked for your number.

‘It looks like your father has had some free time. Have a drink with a friend.’

Hyunseong thought so and smiled pleasantly.

However, the fact that my father met Yoon Seong-ho’s father yesterday and had a drink was greatly influenced by Hyunseong.

Hyunseong didn’t know, but his father and Baek Woo-shin were also under the hidden effects of a legendary-grade occupation lord.

Father and Baek Woo-shin were focused only on hunting.

That’s what my mother was worried about.

That’s why Hyunseong said, ‘You’re well now, but take a little break. I go on a date with my mom and meet some friends.’

Upon hearing this, Hyunseong’s father unconsciously thought, ‘I was too indifferent.’

So he went out on a date with his mother and called a friend the next day.

Then he met Yun Seong-ho’s father.

– Let’s have a drink after a long time.

A smile spread across Hyunseong’s lips at Yoon Seong-ho’s words.

“OK. When will I see you?”

– I’ll see you today.

“I get it.”

Hyunseong hung up after Yoon Seong-ho had set a time and place.

“I think you are a friend.”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong nodded his head.

“Yes. I didn’t care, I didn’t even think of contacting my friends.”

After awakening as a player, he changed his phone number due to friction with the Seowoo Guild.

And I didn’t tell you about the changed contact information, in case my friends would be harmed.

After that, he had a hectic time growing up as a player.

He bought an elixir and had some spare time after his father was cured, so he thought that he should contact his friends.

But before he could even put it into action, the monster wave exploded and he had a crazy time.

And he was obsessed with the desire to become stronger, and he devoted himself exclusively to hunting.

“Your lord also needs some rest. A bowstring that is pulled too tight is bound to break.”

“Are you going to go home right away, Lucia?”

“Yes, you have to go in now to watch the main broadcast of the drama.”

“Then go get in my car. I can go by taxi.”

Hyunseong handed over his car key to Lucia with those words.

Lucia quickly adjusted to his life in Korea and got his driver’s license in no time.

“I’ll drive you to your appointment.”

“It’s in the opposite direction, so if you give me a ride, I can’t watch the main show of the drama. Hurry in.”

Lucia’s expression hardened slightly when she said that she couldn’t watch the main show of the drama.

“Then let’s go in first.”Lucia did not give a single specification and immediately started the car and started off.

“Is the drama that much fun?”

Hyunseong tilted her head, grabbed a taxi and headed to the meeting place.

Hyunseong arrived at the bar earlier than the appointed time and ordered snacks first.

The side dishes were Kimchi stew and egg rolls, which Hyunseong and Yun Seong-ho enjoyed in the past.

‘I’m nervous for nothing.’

She’s a friend I haven’t seen in almost 5 years.

That’s why her heart raced like crazy.

She probably wouldn’t have had her heart raced like this when she attacked a legendary monster.

‘We should meet more often in the future.’

Hyunseong is different from the past.

I became strong, financially prosperous, and mentally relaxed.

Occasionally, meeting friends and having a drink during recess is not a burden.

‘Lucia said it needs a decent rest.’

After waking up, it occurred to me that she had been running too frantically.

No, even before waking up, he was running like crazy.

But in the past, they could not afford it financially, physically, and psychologically.

But not now.

You can enjoy your leisure time as much as you like.

daughter!

The door opened with the sound of a bell, and Yoon Seong-ho, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure, appeared.

Yoon Seong-ho looked around the inside of the store.

“Seongho!”

Yoon Seong-ho turned his head at Hyunseong’s call.

Then he came over and sat down on a chair.

“Hey, why do you have such a good color? Anyone who sees me would know that I am ten years older than me. Have you been living in a skin shop instead of working hard all this time?”

At Yoon Seong-ho’s words, Hyunseong laughed clumsily.

His father only talked about what he had awakened, and it seems that he didn’t talk about what Hyunseong had awakened.

Hyunseong also thought there was no need to reveal it.

“Besides, his shoulders are perfectly wide and his muscles are angled.”

“This is the power of the Nogada muscle.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Yoon Seong-ho was fed up and burst into laughter.

“Let’s have a drink.”

“Auntie, here’s a soju and a beer!”

At Hyunseong’s words, Yun Seong-ho raised his voice and ordered a drink.

Soon, one soju and one beer came.

Kimchi stew and egg rolls, which I made in advance, were also served.

Looks like the timing was right.

“Wheat making is amazing to me again.”

Yun Seong-ho ran out of wheat.

As soon as the wheat was completed, Hyunseong and Yun Seongho took a one-shot.

“Wow, this is delicious!”

Yoon Seong-ho exclaimed.

“What are you doing these days?”

In response to Hyunseong’s question, Yun Seongho held out a business card from his wallet.

“Ohsung Trading Player Sales Team?”

Hyunseong asked with a surprised expression.

I didn’t know that Yun Seong-ho was engaged in something related to the player.

“Hey, are you surprised? I am the man, the five-star man.”

Yoon Seong-ho said with a proud expression on his face.

He was mistaken that Hyunseong was surprised that he belonged to Ohsung Trading, one of the affiliates of the conglomerate Ohsung.

I wasn’t surprised by that, but Hyunseong skipped it.

“Aren’t you going back to school?”

“I will not.”

Hyunseong answered Yoon Seong-ho’s question immediately.

In Korea, universities are not the halls of knowledge, but the halls of employment.

From the perspective of Hyunseong, who does not need a job, there was no reason to return to university.

“Why, your uncle awakened as a hunter, so you can pay for college tuition. Ah, is it difficult because you are still in the beginning?”

Yun Seong-ho asked alone and came to a conclusion by himself.

Yoon Seong-ho was originally like that.

I was fed up and laughed.

“Is your work life worth it?”Starting with Hyunseong’s words, the conversation continued.

Hyunseong also shared stories with Seong-ho Yoon about her work life and recalled her memories of her school days.

‘good.’

A smile spread across Hyunseong’s lips.

Hyunseong and Yoon Seong-ho met after nearly five years.

But there was no awkwardness at all.

It’s as if we met in 5 days instead of 5 years.

The story went on and on and on and on and on.

“Ah, I’m going to die because it’s hard to get a job. In particular, I think sales jobs are more likely to die because their base pay is low.”

What Yun Seong-ho does is purchase the mana stones and monster corpses that players have obtained from hunting.

Basically, players belonging to the Five-Star Guild sell the corpses and magic stones of the monsters they hunted to Five-Star Merchandise.

However, it is not possible to secure the volume required by the large conglomerate Ohsung Group.

So, at Ohsung Trading, we operated a sales team that purchased magic stones for players who were not affiliated with the party.

The main target of sales were players who were not affiliated with the guild but were active as a party.

“In order to really do business, the liver and gallbladder have to be removed. Besides, the players’ children are so high in their nose that even those who have just changed their jobs for the first time, who are naked, are arrogant.”

Yoon Seong-ho, working as a salesperson, confided his hardships as if he was arguing.

“Your father could help you with that.”

“uncle?”

“Your father is also a player.”

“Oh, it is not.”

Although he answered, Yun Seong-ho’s expression was not very bright.

Yun Seong-ho knows Hyunseong’s father as a low-level player who has just awakened.

He actually said he was still low-level.

However, the amount of Manastones produced was more than a combination of several medium-level parties.

“I will tell my father. I tell you to dispose of the magic stones.”

“Do that. There are many scammers on this floor. I will buy it on the best possible terms.”

Yoon Seong-ho answered, thinking that he should help rather than receive help from Hyunseong’s father.

‘You’ll have your mouth wide open later.’

Hyunseong, who had guessed Yoon Seong-ho’s inner feelings, smiled bitterly inwardly.

Hyunseong couldn’t help directly.

Because Hyunseong was a player directly under the association, and he had to hand over all the magic stones he earned through hunting to the association.

If you wanted to steal a manastone, you could steal it as much as you wanted, but then the manastone becomes a treasure.

There was nothing good for Hyunseong or Yun Seong-ho if they had to deal with stolen goods.

Hyunseong and Yun Seong-ho continued to drink and talk.

Wow!

At that moment, Yoon Seong-ho’s smartphone rang.

Yoon Seong-ho’s face, confirming the caller, was firm and wrinkled.

“Who are you?”

“The player I talked about before who does the right thing.”

“Why is he calling you at this hour?”

“I was calling you to pay the bill instead of 100% of the cost of your drink.”

“You say you won’t make much money by catching him anyway? Just throw it away.”

The person who called Yun Seong-ho was the party leader of a level 150 party.

The problem is that this guy omits all the incentives that fall to Yun Seong-ho for various reasons.

Like now, they call at night and have them pay for their drinks instead.

Nevertheless, the reason why Yun Seong-ho couldn’t throw it away was because of the rare-grade manastone quota system allotted to individuals.

“Mistress, the allocation of rare-grade manastones this month has been moderate.”

Yoon Seong-ho made a worried expression for a moment and then turned his smartphone to silence.

“Oh, did you throw it away?”

Yoon Seong-ho shook his head at Hyunseong’s question.

“Can you? I’ll just call tomorrow morning and say that I didn’t answer the phone because I went to bed early.”

At Yun Seong-ho’s words, Hyunseong snorted and burst into laughter.

“Well done. And don’t call him for nothing tomorrow, just call my father and ask him to sell you some magic stones.”

Father and Baekwooshin were already hunting monsters with a rare level of over 100 levels.

Even though he hunted low-level monsters as much as possible, his level rose too quickly due to his overwhelming stats and skills.

Because of that, his father and Baek Woo-shin obtained fewer achievements than Hyunseong had expected.

But it was unavoidable.

Because there was no way to intentionally lower the level or reduce the experience given by monsters.

Perhaps tomorrow, after talking to Hyunseong’s father on the phone, the problem of quota of rare-grade gemstones that has been bothering Seong-ho Yoon for the past time would have been easy to solve.

“Hey, it’s a rare-grade manastone, not a regular-grade manastone? It looks like you don’t know much about magic stones… … .”

daughter!

“Hey, Yoon Seong-ho!”

With the sound of the store door opening, a voice filled with magical power erupted.

The faces of the customers in the store turned white.

Hyunseong’s face was distorted.

It was strictly forbidden for players to use skills against ordinary people.

“Uh, Park Hyung-wook, party leader?”

Yoon Seong-ho jumped up from his seat in surprise.

“Are you deliberately chewing my phone?”

A man named Park Hyung-wook came to Hyunseong and Yoon Seong-ho, spewing out magical energy.

“No, it’s not that I didn’t know the phone was coming because the drinking party was noisy.”

“I saw everything outside. Checking your call and putting it on silent.”

“sorry.”

Yun Seong-ho’s waist was bent 90 degrees.

“I have time to drink and I don’t have time to answer my calls, right?”

“no. Sorry. Please forgive me. I haven’t seen this friend in so long… … .”

“Shut up! Who are you making excuses for now?”

Park Hyung-wook interrupted Yun Seong-ho.

“Don’t even think about getting a mana stone from our party in the future.”

“sorry! I have sinned to death! Forgive me just once!”

Yoon Seong-ho shouted in a loud voice and bowed even more deeply to Park Hyung-wook.

His head fell below his waist.

“I’m sorry, does someone you know act like that?”

Park Hyung-wook tapped Yoon Seong-ho’s head with his finger and said.

It is an act that only feels insulting on the surface, but does not actually harm it.

However, in Hyunseong’s eyes, it was clearly visible that the magical energy that came out of Park Hyung-wook’s fingers was scattered throughout Yun Seong-ho’s body, giving a strong shock.

“ha!”

Hyunseong felt deep anger.

A friend I met after 5 years.

He was having a great time with such a friend.

However, he was invisibly harassing his friend, as a little bastard appeared and was not enough to ruin the good mood.

“Get out of here, you bastard.”

At Park Hyung-wook’s words, Yoon Seong-ho picked up his bag.

And he sent Hyunseong an apologetic look.

“Seongho.”

“I’m sorry, Hyunseong. Here I will calculate. See you next.”

“I don’t need to follow that bastard for nothing, so just sit down.”

Hyunseong stood up with those words.

Yoon Seong-ho’s expression turned to earthen.

Park Hyung-wook, who heard the conversation between Hyunseong and Yun Seong-ho, had a blank expression on his face as if he was bewildered by the unexpected development.

However, Park Hyung-wook, who had a blank expression on his face, quickly turned into anger.

“what? pup? Did you say that to me now?”

Park Hyung-wook grabbed Hyunseong’s neck with a face like a thug.

As Park Hyung-wook’s hand went up, Hyunseong’s body also went up into the air.

“Party leader, you can’t do this!”

Yoon Seong-ho ran and grabbed Park Hyung-wook’s arm.

“You are so tight.”

Park Hyung-wook pushed Yun Seong-ho with those words.

Then Hyunseong looked down at Park Hyung-wook and opened his mouth.

“Hey.”

“what? Hey?”

“Can the player use force on ordinary people or not?”

“under!”

Park Hyung-wook snorted at Hyunseong’s question.

Even in this situation, I now understand why that guy, Yoon Seong-ho’s companion, wasn’t afraid.

Park Hyung-wook released the hand that was holding Hyunseong’s neck.

Hyunseong’s body came down to the ground again.

“Of course you shouldn’t. I never wrote it.”

“How many eyes do you have here?”

At Hyunseong’s words, Park Hyung-wook burst into laughter.

“Has anyone here ever seen me use violence?”

No one came forward.

Rather, they secretly averted their gaze for fear that sparks might set on them for nothing.

“I don’t think anyone is there.”“I saw it.”

“Who do you think will believe you? It’s no use calling the police. The original opinion of the parties to the case is not reflected. And do I use force because I’m crazy? If not, there are plenty of ways to help people like you.”

Park Hyung-wook gave a fishy smile.

“Yoon Seong-ho, don’t think about receiving a magic stone from me in the future. I’ll tell all the party leaders I’m familiar with, so you better be prepared. and you.”

Park Hyung-wook pointed at Hyunseong with his index finger.

“You better be careful at night. Because you never know when you will become half-bodied without even a mouse or a bird.”

“Are you threatening to hurt me now? Assaulting and intimidating ordinary people, using skills and magic outside the dungeon, and even threatening injuries… … . Would this be enough to disqualify a player and receive more than 20 years in prison?”

“what?”

Park Hyung-wook’s expression was colored with embarrassment.

The opponent was too arrogant.

Park Hyung-wook’s gaze turned to the smartphone in Hyunseong’s left hand.

“You bastard like a mouse.”

Park Hyung-wook was sure Hyunseong was recording.

Park Hyung-wook stretched out his hand.

Just take your smartphone and destroy it.

Then the evidence disappears.

widely!

Park Hyung-wook’s right hand, which was moving toward Hyunseong’s left hand, stopped in mid-air.

Because Hyunseong grabbed Park Hyung-wook’s right arm with his right hand.

“uh?”

“Hey, are you going to commit theft now?”

At Hyunseong’s words, Park Hyung-wook’s confident expression was colored with embarrassment.

“profit!”

Park Hyung-wook struggled to get his right arm caught by Hyunseong.

He used all his magic power.

However, Park Hyung-wook’s right arm did not even move a little.

“F, player? how… … ?”

Park Hyung-wook muttered as if he couldn’t believe it.

Park Hyung-wook is a level 157 attacking dealer who focuses on strength stats.

Normal people can never defeat Park Hyung-wook by force.

But for the same player, things are different.

Even if it is a player with a much higher level than Park Hyung-wook.

However, Park Hyung-wook couldn’t believe that Yoon Seong-ho, who he usually thought was just like Hogu and Kobong, had an acquaintance with a high-level player.

If he had such a network, he did not need to receive such humiliation from him and receive mana stones.

“Why, is there anything different about me being a player?”

At Hyunseong’s words, Park Hyung-wook’s head twisted.

“Hahaha, you were in the same industry. Didn’t you tell me earlier?”

A sullen smile appeared on Park Hyung-wook’s face.

“I will sign a resale contract with Yoon Seong-ho. I will talk to the party leaders who are close to me and convince Yoon Seong-ho to drive magic stones.”

“What kind of talent is this guy who will soon be disqualified as a player and only have to go to jail?”

Park Hyung-wook’s expression turned white at Hyunseong’s words.

“What are you talking about so harshly? There is no need to pretend to be the same player, right? You are going well.”

“Nope?”

“My eldest sister is the deputy leader of the first team of the Seowoo Guild. If he fights with me, it won’t be any good either.”

Hyunseong was shocked at Park Hyung-wook’s words.

He’s not his real sister, he’s not his cousin, he’s his first cousin.

In today’s world, if you were your first cousin, you were almost like no other.

Crucially, if it is a relative or brother that you really cherish, why would you leave it like this?

Seeing that Park Hyung-wook did not hand over the magic stones his party had hunted to the Seo-woo Guild, he never seemed to be a close friend.

Even if the relationship was close, it didn’t matter.

What does the first team leader of Seou Guild mean?

After the deputy guild leader Jeong Seong-woo and his faction were expelled, the Seo-woo guild was eventually pushed out of the top 10 guilds in Korea.

“So what do you say?”

“Are you sure you want to join the Seo-Woo Guild?”

“I don’t think the Seo-Woo Guild will set up an angle with me for something like you?”

“My eldest sister is the closest person to the guild leader Seowoo.”

With those words, Park Hyung-wook put his left hand into his pocket and pulled out his smartphone.

Then he cleverly searched the address book with his left hand and pressed the call button.

-Hello.

“Sister, it’s Hyungwook!”

It seems that Park Hyung-wook’s words were not false at all.

When you see the other person answering the phone.-Why did you call me?

A cold voice with no emotion.

They don’t seem to be very close friends.

– You didn’t call to say that you should join the Seou Guild again, did you? I clearly said before that you can recommend your guild to the Seowoo Guild only when your level rises a little, or at least a certain level compared to the same level.

“Ah, sister, that’s not it. Actually I… … .”

Park Hyung-wook diligently explained the situation.

‘It sounds like a voice I’ve heard somewhere… … .’

Hyunseong tilted his head.

The voice is not unfamiliar.

It was definitely a voice I had heard somewhere.

-under! 야, 이 새끼야, 내가 네 보모냐? Why are you calling me for a problem with another player?

‘Obviously, where did you hear that?’

As Hyunseong tilted his head, Hyungwook Park slapped hard.

“This player completely ignored Seo Guild. So you got into an argument with me. And when I told you about my sister, I wasn’t afraid of anything like the Seowoo Guild… … .”

-Ha, now that the size has decreased, even beggars are ignoring our guild. change it

As Hyunseong was thinking hard about the main character of his voice, Park Hyung-wook’s smartphone came in front of him.

Lee Soo-hee’s sister

When I saw the name stored on my smartphone, I remembered it.

The player who gave Hyunseong a business card during his first hunt.

He was the person who made a bad relationship with the Seowoo Guild.

– Hey, are you really saying what that bastard said?

Lee Soo-hee’s voice came through the speakerphone vividly.

Hyunseong let go of the hand that was holding Park Hyung-wook.

At this, Park Hyung-wook looked at Hyunseong with a very energetic expression on his face.

Hyunseong took the smartphone from Park Hyung-wook’s hand.

– Why no answer? Hyungwook Park, did you change your phone?

“It’s been a while, Lee Soo-hee.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Lee Soo-hee’s words were cut off.

Park Hyung-wook also had a slightly bewildered expression on his face.

-Who are you?

“This is Choi Hyunseong, the leader of the new player association team.”

Hyunseong used the name of the new team instead of the word kill team.

The Kill Team has become so famous for its Legendary Raids.

Even the general public is aware of its existence.

-… … .

A quiet silence followed.

Lee Soo-hee knew who Hyunseong was.

For Lee Soo-hee, Hyunseong was a guy who had two guilds and wouldn’t be cool even if he changed it.

Thanks to Hyunseong and the Players’ Association, the deputy chief of the guild, Jeong Seong-woo, was driven out, but the damage was too great.

Lee Soo-hee and Seo-woo, the guild leader, aimed at Hoshitamtam Hyunseong.

It was not simply because he wanted revenge, but because he coveted Hyunseong’s ability to ignore the 20-level rule.

However, in less than two years, Hyunseong’s presence has grown so much.

Imoogi Raid, Orc Warchief Raid, Orc Shaman Raid.

The one who took part in all three raids and killed the orc warchief and orc shaman.

Seou Guild also dispatched players to three legendary monster raids.

That is why he knew Hyunseong’s power and influence better than anyone else.

“Lee Soo-hee, are you listening to me?”

-Yes! I’m listening!

Lee Soo-hee answered with a strong voice like a new recruit who had just entered the training camp.

“Lee Soo-hee’s younger brother, who is now in front of me, assaulted and threatened the general public, used skills and magic outside the dungeon, threatened to injure the public, and committed theft.”

-… … .

Silence ensued again.

Hearing Hyunseong’s words, Lee Soo-hee’s expression probably turned white.

Even if a player commits only one of those crimes, the punishment is several times stronger than that of the general public under the Player Aggravated Punishment Act.

“But I think this person believed in the back of the Seowoo Guild and did that. If the younger brother of the deputy leader of the Seo-Gu Guild is this ignorant, how different are the members of the Seo-Guild? I think I should give a special thanks to the Seowoo Guild by making a suggestion to the president of the association, what do you think?”

– That child and the Seowoo Guild have nothing to do with it! It’s just that crazy man selling my name!

“Well, that would add libel to the charge. Are you going to file a complaint against Park Hyung-wook for defamation?”

– Well, that’s… … .

“Ah, you were in a hurry… … .”

– I’ll put it in! I will file a complaint for defamation right away tomorrow morning!

“Then I will know that and hang up the phone.”

drop!Hyunseong pressed the end call button and held out his smartphone to Park Hyung-wook.

However, Park Hyung-wook was not in the mood to receive his smartphone.

After hearing all of Hyunseong’s and Lee Soo-hee’s conversation, Park Hyung-wook had a blank expression on his face like a man who lost his soul.

Hyunseong put the smartphone in Park Hyung-wook’s hand.

Then he took out his smartphone and called the player association inspection team.

Shortly after the call ended, the players’ association inspection team members arrived.

Hyunseong presented the recording file as evidence, and Park Hyung-wook was arrested and taken away.

Park Hyung-wook was more likely to receive a heavy sentence under the Player Aggravated Punishment Act, along with his player disqualification.

“Hey, I’m drunk.”

Hyunseong muttered with a look of exhaustion.

“Seongho, let’s go second.”

Yoon Seong-ho, who had a blank expression on his face at Hyunseong’s words, came to his senses.

“Hey, were you a player? Are you affiliated with the association?”

“uh.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“I was just about to do it, but he intervened earlier. Let’s go get some more drinks. We’ll talk about the details the second time around.”

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

Hyunseong and Yoon Seong-ho moved.

It became known that Hyunseong was a player, but Yoon Seong-ho’s attitude did not change at all.

Rather, he asked a quick-fire question to see if he had a lot of questions.

Hyunseong liked Yoon Seong-ho like that.

He’s a friend we can talk to as if we met a few days ago, even if we meet after years.

He is a friend who always treats him the same regardless of his ability, wealth, or status.

That day, Hyunseong drank with Yun Seong-ho until 3 in the morning.

Hyunseong could drink more, but Yoon Seong-ho couldn’t stand it.

There were some troubles in the middle, but it was a very enjoyable day.

The White House in Washington, D.C., USA.

A conference hosted by the current president of the United States, Wilson, was in full swing.

“The simulation results are based on the combat power of the legendary monsters that have appeared so far.”

“Even if there is only one dog per week, the damage to human life and property is enormous. But isn’t that too exaggerated? Didn’t Korea handle the 3 legendary level monsters well? And without much damage.”At President Wilson’s question, the CIA director quickly spoke up.

“That was because it allowed for a quick and early suppression. In Korea, it takes less than an hour to gather all the rankers scattered across the country. On the other hand, my home country takes at least six hours or more, assuming that only a few of the rankers are summoned.”

The fact that the land mass is too wide becomes a very troublesome problem in this case.

“Besides, Korea also suffered a lot of damage from dealing with three legendary monsters. In particular, the sacrifices of the rankers were great.”

“Is it because of the wide-area attack skill?”

“That’s right. In addition, legend-grade monsters that live in groups such as join-type and orc-type monsters are much more difficult to deal with than single-acting entities such as Imoogi, as they carry a large number of hero-grade monsters.”

“My head hurts.”

President Wilson squeezed his temples with both hands.

The existence of legendary-grade monsters that appeared along with the Second Cataclysm put a considerable burden on the United States, the world’s most powerful country.

“A lot of high-level players aren’t very helpful when it comes to raiding Legendary tier monsters. To be helpful in raids, you have to be at least a ranker.”

“You can see it well if you look at the case of China.”

China was the country where they tried to deal with the legendary monster Imoogi with rankers belonging to the local government used in their country rather than the rankers used on the international stage.

“In addition, in view of the battle patterns of the Orc Warchief Raid and the Orc Shaman Raid, it is absolutely necessary to have an out-of-standard strongman that exceeds the skill of a general ranker.”

“Being strong outside the norm… … . Someone like the Choi Hyunseong player Jason reported?”

“That’s right.”

President Wilson quietly closed his eyes at the words of the CIA director.

The report posted by Jason, who now heads the UN Players Alliance, was truly shocking.

“Did you say that the estimated level was at least 500?”

“Yes, it is judged that the maximum level is 600 or higher, and the minimum level is 500 or higher.”

“Is that theoretically possible?”

After the 2nd Cataclysm, the level of the monsters in the dungeon went up as a whole along with the appearance of legendary monsters.

For example, before, the level of hero level monsters was from late 300 to early 400, but now, hero grade monsters estimated to be mid to late 400 are appearing one after another.

But that happened recently.

Until then, the maximum level of hero-grade monsters was in the early 400s.

Players tied to the 20-level rule could not level up beyond mid-level 400.

Therefore, the average level of the rankers was 400, and the level of the strong people who were evaluated as out of standard did not exceed 450.

However, Choi Hyunseong’s estimated level reached a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 600.

“They were questioned and CIA Northeast Asian agents began an investigation, and a surprising finding emerged.”

“What is that?”

President Wilson asked curiously.

“Player Choi Hyunseong is said to have a unique skill that allows him to bypass the 20th level rule.”

At the words of the CIA director, the faces of President Wilson and his aides turned to stone at once.
