Return To Level Up

Chapter 31

The head of the Jeyoung group’s information office and the director of the Awakened Person’s office stood with a very tense expression on their faces.

In front of the two of them was Jo Won-young, who was appointed to take over the group, although it is unknown when.

“It’s not just a failure, it’s really ruined, right?”

The two of them couldn’t even say they were sorry, and only broke out in a cold sweat.

Jo Won-young tilted his head and looked at the manager. There was a slight smirk and discomfort on the corners of his eyes and lips.

“I lost five capable Awoken because it wasn’t enough to disable three squads of scarecrows. Can you give me an excuse?”

“Sorry.”

“Are you acknowledging your incompetence?”

“I didn’t really understand my opponent’s capabilities. We will make sure that nothing like this happens again in the future.”

Jo Won-young’s lips twisted a little more.

“Ohh. Are you passing the department over to the information room?”

After saying that, Jo Won-young turned his head in the opposite direction this time and looked at the information manager.

“Do you know how much money and time I spent creating the sub-organizations?”

The head of the intelligence department bowed his head.

Of course I know. He did it all by himself.

“Since I cut it up and ate it, what do I do with this? What happened to the Awakened with that special skill?”

“Tracking was blocked by the blown off subsystem.”

“Ha! It’s not funny. Now, can you give me an excuse? The other side transfers the department to the information room, do you have anything to say in the information room?”

“I was too obsessed with figuring out the opponent’s location rather than figuring out the opponent’s capabilities. We will make sure that such mistakes are not made again in the future.”

Jo Won-young smiled brightly.

“So… to put it back, the Awoken didn’t fight properly, is that this?”

Although they were explicitly encouraging the conflict between the two, the two victims had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and bow their heads.

However, what happened this time was very painful.

“Are you aware that the atmosphere at the Awakened Management Office is not good these days?”

“Yes. I know.”

The two answered as if kissing at the same time.

Still, the problem was serious. The Awakened Management Agency eventually attracted the black market.

Jo Won-young speculated that there must have been someone who manipulated the Awakening Management Agency from behind.

If not, this was too much of an oversight.

Entrusting the dungeon to the black market?

Jo Won-young stopped thinking about the black market and looked at the two of them alternately.

“Now then, tell me what you plan to do.”

The two were more nervous than ever before.

“First, shall we listen to the words of our head of information?”

“We will create a sub-organization again.”

At that, Jo Won-young laughed.

“For what money?”

“Yes?”

“You need money to create a sub-organization. When you take a seat, you only get operating expenses, but where will you get the huge amount of money that will go into that?”

The head of the information department became a honey-eaten dumbass and looked at Cho Won-young blankly.

Where did you get the money and where did you get it from? Of course, the Jeyoung group should support you.

Because it is absolutely impossible to form a sub-organization with the information room budget alone.

“For the time being, all funds will be directed to potion research. This is my grandfather’s decision, so there is no change.”

The intelligence officer’s face turned pale. Those words were nothing more than a foreshadowing that the status of the information room would decline significantly in the future.

Jo Won-young turned to look at the manager. It meant it was your turn now.

The manager swallowed a dry saliva and spoke calmly.

“We will recruit new talent and replenish the scarecrow.”

“And then?”

“Yes?”

“After that, what are you going to do? End with that?”

“After that, I will focus on training.”

“Aha, training. Training is important. Yes. But you know I’m not asking because I want to hear the obvious, right?”

The manager was sweating profusely.

Jo Won-young looked at the head of the management office and the head of the information office alternately and said.

“Aren’t you going to catch that bastard? Yes? Do you just cover it up like this?”

“Oh, no.”

“Catch that bastard and get down on your knees before me. And two guys with special skills, make sure to secure them. Do you know?”

The two of them felt it when they heard it. that this is your last chance

As the head of information and management went out, Jo Won-young stroked his chin with a serious expression.

“I am very annoyed.”

Suddenly the plan went awry. If it had been the same, it would have been on a full-fledged track.

But at some point, things started to go awry, and now I’m in so much trouble that I don’t know how to fix it.

“I don’t know anything else, but I really need that Singular Awakener.”

Finding that information was a result of coincidence and effort.

It wasn’t the information I wanted, but in the end it was information that could change the life of Cho Won-young, or the future of the Je-young group.

So far, the Jeyoung group has moved according to that information.

Creating the information room and its sub-organizations, finding and nurturing awakened people with special skills through the sub-organization, and supplying magic suppressors were all a result of that.

It was also because of this that Jeyoung Group is now investing a lot in potion manufacturing.

“The blood of a few high-level Awoken went into it, and we can’t just leave it alone.”

Jo Won-young bit her molars tightly with eerie eyes.

Ha-jin Kang was reading a report on the research on ganghwaseok received from A-Market.

This was one of the conditions that Ha-jin Kang proposed when he decided to exclusively deal with A-Market and Lemono’s fangs.

This was her third report.

In the last report, there was information about the prototype reinforcement stone. However, this time, the description of the reinforcement stone, which developed it several stages, was written lengthily.

“After all, A-market was the answer.”

By holding on to Remono’s fangs and supplying it exclusively, the pace of development of enchantment stones was completely different from before the return.

In addition, the performance of the enhancement stone has improved even more than before.

The reinforcement stones that were finally sold before the return could be applied five times, and if you did all of them, about 10% of the basic stats grew.

That alone is surprising, but this time it seemed like it would happen sooner or later.

‘Maybe we’ll get past that by the time we get the next report?’

There was room for further development before the return, but the research was limited because Remono’s fangs could not be obtained.

But this time it will be different.

A-Market was reassessing the value of Ganghwa Stone. Perhaps after some time, the value of Ha-jin Kang, who monopolizes fangs, will change drastically.

Hajin Kang decided to use the changed values ​​to build a foundation.

Originally, it was a decision to choose later, but there was no reason to postpone it since the value of the enchantment stone has risen.

Perhaps the A-Market will welcome it with open arms.

Before the return, the A-market enjoyed a boom, but fell sharply after the second disaster.

After the first disaster, it began to stagnate, but after the formation of a team centered on Ha-jin Kang, it took a sharp downward trend.

There was a company called DM at the center.

And DM was a company run by the family of Spencer, one of Ha-jin Kang’s team members.

In a word, Kang Ha-jin’s team was at the center of world dominance.

“Maybe it was then, but not now.”

After Kang Ha-jin read all the reports, he set fire to his hand and burned it.

He thought that he would have to meet Jeong-in soon.

After finishing a few more of his little things, Ha-jin Kang went to meet In-hyeok Myung and In-hyeok Myung.

Dong-Hoon Dong was now obsessed with making new equipment.

Since the last time they made a locator that allowed them to blow up the Jeyoung group’s intelligence sub-organization, it seems they’ve broken a wall that’s been blocking them.

He was making excellent equipment that could not even be compared with the ones he had made so far.

So, Dong Hoon can just leave him alone.

Ji-hye Kim and her party were now hunting with each other, focusing on unpopular dungeons.
