SSS-Class Villain Life

17 – Teamwork

A month has passed since I met Gwang-eui.

For a month, Kanghyuk had only focused on beating the villains. It was because he wanted to earn a lot of experience and money while gaining new skills.

However, now, a month later, Kang Hyuk’s level was still the same despite defeating eight additional villains. He made quite a bit of money, but his level has been stagnant ever since he acquired the [Magic Ring Creation Skill]… !

Because of this, Kanghyuk was currently in deep trouble.

Is there any way to break this plateau? Is there really no way to level up much faster than now?

“… Oh, I see.”

around noon.

Kang Hyuk, who was browsing the website of the Public Security Agency, suddenly came up with an idea and tried accessing ‘Black.com’.

Black.com was a community site for villains.

Villains bought and sold stolen goods here, exchanged requests, and also recruited team members.

Even if it’s a crime that can’t be done alone, if you recruit a team member, it’s natural that you can try it enough. So, it could be seen that the act of recruiting team members at Black.com is still quite active.

‘Tsk tsk, a team for villains… ! But from my point of view, it’s just delicious food.’

Kanghyuk’s eyes flashed.

The moment he entered Black.com, he was completely determined.

From now on, he intended to commit a ‘team kill’ against the villains recruiting team members.

Until now, Kanghyuk had been dealing with the villains that the Public Security Agency had informed him of, one by one. However, after doing this, it felt like the level was rising too slowly. In terms of travel time and preparation time, three or four days per person were basically wasted.

But instead of doing this, from now on, what if the whole party wipes out the villains at once? If so, wouldn’t Kang Hyuk be able to level up a lot in a short period of time?

Of course, this method had its advantages as well as its disadvantages. Because Kang Hyuk’s life could be in danger if he dealt with the villains all at once… !

However, Kang Hyuk was in the position that there was nothing to shy away from. It was because he had become a combat veteran after defeating countless villains.

If it’s him now, even if several D-class villains attack at the same time, he should be able to deal with it!

Also, now he had a magic ring that allowed him to use a shield ten times a day. If he had this ring, he certainly wouldn’t be in great danger.

‘Still, it’s a bit dangerous with more than 5 people. So, I need to find a party consisting of three or four D-class villains.’

Kang Hyuk started browsing the site.

As befits a site for villains, the atmosphere of the site was very dull. However, Kang Hyuk was in the position that it had nothing to do with it. After all, he had a different purpose.

“… That’s right.”

Then after a while!

Finally, Kang Hyuk was able to find a job posting that was perfect for him.

The title of the job posting was [Recruiting a kidnapping party], but to summarize the content, it was [recruiting a team member to kidnap a B-class hero together].

‘Recruit three D-class villains who are skilled in combat… If kidnapping is successful, 20 million won will be paid per person… !’

Kang Hyuk touched his chin.

Under these conditions, there was certainly nothing bad. If it was three D-class villains, he could have dealt with him well enough.

‘Good. Let’s get in touch right away.’

Kang Hyuk started writing a note.

The contents of the note were very simple.

It was just about wanting to join the team.

Beep!

[Anonymous92110: You want to join the team?]

Not long after I sent the note, I got a reply from the person posting the job posting.

When Kanghyuk replied [Yes], the publisher immediately asked.

[Anonymous92110: If so, please state your tinnitus.]

[Anonymous112693: Tinnitus?]

[Anonymous92110: I guess this is our first time working as a team. It is the basic of the basics to reveal the tinnitus.]

‘hmm.’

Kanghyuk rubbed his chin and shook his head.

It’s this name… !

Here, it was necessary to borrow a real tinnitus. If I put on a false name, I could have been suspicious.

[Anonymous112693: Ah. I call it the D-class Villain Destruction.]

[Anonymous92110: Ugly… ? If it’s ugly, then it’s terribly ugly?]

[Anonymous112693: Uh huh.]

[Anonymous92110: Oh, excuse me. wait a moment.]

After that, the publisher didn’t say anything for a while.

why no answer?

Would you rather have a different name?

In fact, the D-class villain Chu-goe was the villain Kang-hyeok killed two weeks ago. His head was severely damaged, so his body was not accepted by the Public Security Agency. Because of this, the current Chu-goe was in a state of ‘missing’, not ‘death’.

[Anonymous 92110: Destroy D-class villain. Is Gangnam your main activity area?]

However, Kang Hyuk was just about to click on another job offer.

When the publisher suddenly asked a question, Kang Hyuk replied as he knew.

[Anonymous112693: No. It is Yongsan-gu, not Gangnam-gu.]

[Anonymous 92110: Why did you go to Yaksu Station two weeks ago?]

[Anonymous 112693: It was to visit the ‘Kim Jeong-Hoon Secret Service’.]

In fact, Chu-goe was killed by Kang-hyeok on his way home after visiting Kim Jeong-hun’s agency.

Kang-hyeok wondered how this guy knew that far, but he soon understood. If he had any acquaintances at Kim Jeong-hoon’s secret agency, he would be able to confirm that Chu-goe had been there.

[Anonymous 92110: What did you do after leaving the agency? I’ve been out of sight for two weeks.]

[Anonymous 112693: I just had a personal matter. Should I tell you what I ate for breakfast and who I slept with at night?]

[Anonymous92110: That’s not it.]

[Anonymous112693: So, is the identification process finished with this?]

[Anonymous92110: Yes.]

‘It’s simple.’

Kang Hyuk let out a smile.

In fact, it could be seen that the job posting publisher’s ‘identification verification’ was very clumsy.

If the identities of the team members are ambiguous, it may be that the safety of the entire team may be compromised… !

However, recruiting a team member at Black.com in the first place was something that had to be taken at some level of risk. For that reason, the current publisher seemed to think that this was enough. This kind of risk was always taken in normal times.

[Anonymous92110: Did you read the whole thing anyway?]

[Anonymous112693: Yeah. Are four D-class Billots going to kidnap a B-class hero?]

[Anonymous92110: Exactly. As for the other details, let’s talk about it when we meet face-to-face. I’ll call the meeting place and time, so don’t be late.]

Afterwards, the publisher who called the meeting place and appointment time deleted the job posting he posted.

Apparently, the other two team members had already been saved. He could have been unable to join, so from Kang-hyeok’s point of view, he could see that he was really lucky.

“Good. When everyone is gathered together, it will be dealt with at once.”

Kang Hyuk muttered as he touched the magic ring on his ring finger.

He was really looking forward to it.

***

Two days later, the promised date finally arrived.

After finishing all preparations, Kanghyuk took a taxi and headed straight to the meeting place.

The meeting place is an old abandoned factory located on the outskirts of Gyeonggi… !

“… I see you are here.”

After a while, Kanghyuk got out of the taxi and muttered as he looked around.

He must have been the last to arrive, and many people could be felt inside the abandoned factory. Kanghyuk put on the mask he had prepared and opened the rusty iron door.

What a profit!

“… You are here.”

When Kang Hyuk entered the factory, three people greeted him.

One was a skinny man wearing a red skull mask, the other a woman wearing a fox mask, and the third a stern-looking middle-aged woman with her face exposed.

“Ugly. Am I right?”

“That one?”

“The leader of the team, D-class villain Red Skull.”

It seemed that the person who exchanged notes with Kanghyuk was the Red Skull.

Kanghyuk nodded, then turned his eyes to the woman and the middle-aged man. It’s as if you guys should hurry up and introduce yourself.

“Just call me Fox.”

“It’s Lecter.”

“… .”

However, the other two seemed to have no intention of revealing their names.

Do you think this is a bit of a loss?

‘what… It doesn’t really matter in the first place.’

Kanghyuk shrugged and stood on the left side of the Red Skull.

Anyway, these guys were just prey for Kanghyuk.

These bastards would never see the sun tomorrow.
