Return To Level Up

Chapter 99

Jason gathered the current Defenders members.

William, Spencer and Jennifer sat down at the round table.

Jason looked at them and said in a serious tone.

“This party is a failure.”

William nodded broadly.

“right. It’s not just a failure, it’s a huge failure. At this rate, we will spend the power and the wrong person will eat the fruit.”

It was the Guardian who was a wacky guy.

In fact, the person Jason was paying attention to the most in Guardians was Ha-jin Kang.

He received information that Ha-jin Kang is a buff ability.

There were quite a few buffers among the Awoken, but it was really difficult to find a good buffer.

According to Jason’s research, it is so good that no other buffer can match it.

So, once he was subsumed, he gradually grasped the tendency and tried to use it appropriately.

The guild called Guardians that he owns was also delicious.

But things were going strangely.

In a way that Jason never expected.

“Is that person named Kyung-Min Yoon taking the initiative alone?”

“On the surface, it was.”

“What is the surface area? So does that mean it’s actually different?”

William shook his head.

“It means you don’t know. On the surface, it is clear that he is running wild by himself like a goby, but without the guild master going crazy, he couldn’t have given his subordinates that much authority.”

“Then, in reality, Ha-jin Kang is leading the way, but it must have been disguised with Kyung-min Yoon.”

“It’s like that.”

At William’s words, Spencer and Jennifer nodded.

No matter how you think about it, it makes more sense.

“Then, even if you recruit a person named Kyung-Min Yoon, it won’t be very effective.”

“I can make it work a little less hard.”

At William’s words, Jennifer stepped forward.

“It will probably be difficult. Because Ha-jin Kang is not normal.”

Let her all look at her at her, Jennifer was talking to her.

“He is someone who has endured my skills head-on. You probably have a lot of mental strength. And people with strong mental strength are not shaken by such small numbers. Probably double or triple preparation.”

All of her nodded at her words.

When Jennifer’s skill is properly applied to a man, its power is beyond imagination.

The people in this place knew it, so they had prepared one or two preparations in advance.

If I don’t do that, I’m anxious and it’s difficult to be with her.

But it was really surprising that he endured it head-on.

“There must be a contingency plan… or a straight wick, or both.”

And that means neither side should look at the other easily.

“Anyway, the first party we prepared is over the water… What do we do now?”

It is inevitably necessary to revise the existing plan.

Originally, they were going to officially announce the existence of the Defenders from now on and start their full-fledged activities.

But to do that, the power of the people who invited them to the party that day, or more precisely, the organization behind them, was needed.

It was necessary to start right away, and it was necessary to continue activities in the future.

Because I was trying to use them to form a subordinate organization of the Defenders, commonly referred to as supporters.

“For now, the announcement has to be delayed.”

“It should be. It will be no different from other giant guilds like that if you step out now.”

That was difficult. The Defenders have to explode while monopolizing all the attention and topics in the world.

That way you can maximize your impact.

Jason thought for a moment. In fact, what they have to do now is quite obvious.

“Start investigating the Guardians. Shake it down to the smallest dust.”

“It would be fun. Let’s do this on our own.”

A sense of humor flashed in the eyes of the four people sitting at the round table.

Right now, the leader of the Defenders is Jason, but it wouldn’t be strange if it changed at any time.

They have always been competitors.

After one dungeon raid swept the world, more Awoken appeared.

Of course, Awoken was still rare, but it is not as difficult to see Awoken than it used to be.

Because the Awakeneds fought every time something happened, the famous Awakeneds had risen in popularity to the point of being second to that of a celebrity.

Hwang Soo-young was a prime example.

She said the reason for her popularity was her healthy and beautiful appearance.

Although the party was a little bothered by her popularity.

What Hwang Soo-young wanted was strength, not popularity.

She was always engrossed in hunting, and because of that, she was a style that took pleasure in seeing her level go up.

As the number of awakeners increased, the magic-based items from the dungeon spread to the world, and various studies were conducted, the world was gradually changing.

Once he succeeded in researching energy using manastones, he was able to extract energy without any pollution.

It will take some time to commercialize it, but it is highly likely that it will be accomplished sooner than expected, as large companies are clinging to it.

As the world changes, companies have no choice but to pursue change.

Because there isn’t much you can do in the world right now other than dungeons.

The world was accepting the dungeon so quickly.

All of this was thanks to the dungeon raid.

As a result, a lot of dungeon-related materials were released in the world, and research using them was being actively conducted like never before.

In fact, many companies have been interested in dungeon research for several years.

There are also quite a few related products.

Now that a huge amount has been released from that foundation, it has blossomed in full bloom.

And the moment we entered this full-fledged dungeon era, there was a company that stood out the most.

It was the Guardian.

The Guardians were a guild made up of the Awakened, but they were also engaged in dungeon-related businesses.

The person in charge was Kyung-Min Yoon.

The Guardians have been preparing steadily before the dungeon world opened up like this.

It was armed with great things that were unbelievably great to have prepared in such a short period of time, but the important thing was that they prepared in advance.

The Guardians sold a variety of products based on magical powers, but none of them were luxury items.

So he built a sales network to a few wealthy people, and used auctions for much more valuable items.

In fact, that alone was not enough to announce the name of the Guardian, but it was overflowing, but the Guardian was preparing another bomb.

With a pounding heart, Yoon Kyung-min carefully examined the objects placed side by side on the table.

Each was a bracelet, a ring, a necklace, a belt, a handbag, and a backpack.

Not only the workmanship, but also the designs were very stylish and beautiful objects.

“finally······!”

From the moment Yoon Kyung-min heard from Kang Ha-jin, he was finally able to start the long-awaited business.

The items placed on this table are handcrafted by artisans. And in the process, the secret method taught by Ha-jin Kang was added to create a subspace.

Hajin Kang was really thorough in the security of the subspace production method.

In this life, he repeatedly promised that he would never reveal the space production method like Hogu, so he managed it more thoroughly than usual.

Only the strong Ha-jin could process the core material, and if they made and delivered a lot of material, they used it to create a subspace.

He could have made it to mass production, but decided to keep it scarce for the time being.

So now, I made a subspace using a fairly large space magic stone.

Later, when the subspace spreads more widely, we planned to create a space that could be easily stored using the crumb magic stones.

The subspace using the crumb manastone was very useful.

First of all, it is possible to secure a myriad of small storage spaces because the size of the Manastone is small.

If you apply it to your equipment, you can get a lot of different effects.

For example, a belt with dozens of daggers stored there.

Hajin Kang did not end there, and was also conducting research that had not been done before.

He was studying how to apply the manastone of space to attack or defense.

Ah, the concept of space was a little different, so the research was not easy, but there was still a possibility, so he was constantly working on it.

Anyway, today was the day to start selling subspace.

Items on this table will be sold through an auction.

It was a method of conducting an auction at the same time as the announcement.

Attending a party in England was a big help. Because I was able to use them to make a strong publicity.

“Now, shall we go?”

The time has come. Kyung-min Yoon grabbed the items and opened the door of the auction house.

At the time of the announcement of Subspace, Ha-jin Kang was meeting A-yeon Jeong.

She came with the final version of the reinforcement stone developed by her A-Market.

Finally, Ganghwaseok appeared after completing its final evolution.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I used almost all of the remaining ingredients to make this. They said there was no room for improvement.”

In fact, no one knows, but how many more Lemono’s fangs would be needed to do that.

As long as the resources are limited, it is decided to stop at the level that can extract the maximum efficiency.

“Awesome.”

Hajin Kang looked down at Ganghwaseok placed on the table with admiration eyes.

The shape was so different that it was impossible to tell that Remono’s fangs were used as the material for this reinforcement stone.

It was just a small jewel with a pure black luster.

[Enhanced Stone][A gem made by maximizing the attributes contained in Remono’s fangs. You can draw the power within by ingesting it. The effect diminishes with each repeated intake. Can be duplicated 30 times. When consumed, all stats increase randomly from a minimum of 30 to a maximum of 60, respectively. The number that rises is completely dependent on luck.]

It was awesome.

No, I just can’t describe it in words that are amazing. That means that the stats go up from 30 to 60 at least.

In addition, if you consume just one, all stats will increase. From a minimum of 30 to a maximum of 60.

You can use it over 30 times!

But that explanation needs to be read carefully. The effect of enchantment stone decreases each time it is used and can be used up to 30 times.

That means, if you consume the 30th reinforcement stone, your stats are highly likely to increase by only 0 or 1.

No, it certainly will be.

At first it will go up 30 or more, then 29, then 28…

Still, if you add up those numbers, you could literally boost your abilities.

And only strong Hajin had the materials to make this enchantment stone.

“Do you know exactly the effect of this enchantment stone?”

“Once I checked it with an appraiser, I found out that it can be used over 30 times, that the ability level goes up every time you take it, and that if you take it repeatedly, the efficacy decreases. I think we should hire a more competent appraiser.”

The level of appraisers working in A-Market cannot be low. They probably have many of the best appraisers in the industry.

So, hiring another appraiser is probably just a saying.

Hajin Kang filled the memo pad with information about Ganghwaseok.

“I’m giving it as a courtesy for the help I’ve been helping so far.”

As Ha-jin Kang held out the memo, A-yeon Jeong’s eyes widened when she saw it.

It was a more detailed emotion than any other appraiser.

She looked at her notes and Hajin Kang alternately with her surprised eyes.

“Hey, did you have emotional skills?”

Kang Ha-jin chuckled.

“It is similar. Now, shall we proceed with the contract slowly?”
