He had to go to work starting tomorrow, but he had no intention of wasting a single day.

To be precise, it was to buy time to hunt.

The guild leader said that he would have a lot of personal time, but it shouldn’t interfere with his work.

It was his idea that he would do what he had to do as much as he was in a position of responsibility and take care of personal responsibilities.

While figuring out the work of the local university and the detailed tasks of each department, Tae-jeong skipped lunch and immersed herself in studying.

and late afternoon.

A familiar face came into the office.

“brother.”

“Come here, I’m going to study.”

“I heard you for a while. I just wanted to congratulate you. I bought this on the way.”

When she handed out a dainty potted plant, Taejeong smiled and placed it on one side of her desk.

“It’s pretty. Thank you. Anyway. Are you doing well at school?”

“yes. I made friends too.”

“Are you a man?”

“There are men and there are women.”

“hey. If you have a boyfriend, tell your brother right away.”

“I’m not that kind of friend, oppa too. Is Sae-ah doing well?”

“I’m busy with work, what? ’cause I’m here now You will be busier.”

“Your sister seemed fine. Is there anything going on between you two these days?”

“Small things are black again. done did you eat. Shall I buy you some food?”

“I already ate. By the way, does she keep in touch often?”

“What sister?”

“You know that pretty sister who lives next door. Was it Joo’s sister? That sister was drinking too much.”

“I just see you occasionally. Anyway, if you’re not going to eat, go and study now. My brother is busy right now.”

“yes. okay. I’ll contact you.”

Several hours have passed since So-young left and focused on her work again.

He, who had been sitting like a stone statue, stretched out and stood up.

“OMG. I took a rough look, but it’s a lot more work than I thought.”

The local colleges that Tae-jeong identified were in charge of two major tasks under the Management Planning Headquarters.

Managed auction bids for certain external projects and solidarity and cooperation with the local community.

If you go deep, you can see that there are almost 100 businesses that you are working on.

In simple terms, it meant that it was one of the guild’s funding lines.

“I think this is too big of a seat, but I’m running out of time.”

the next morning.

Tae-jeong, who went to work, had no choice but to stick her tongue out at the payment documents piled up on her desk.

It was as high as five or six books piled high.

It was huge from the start.

A cursory glance revealed that most of them were about budget.

maintenance, support, and more.

To a hotel, a restaurant, a villa, even a school you’ve never been to.

He was about to sign an autograph, wondering if he had managed to upload it well, but he shook his head and called the staff who had submitted the approval one by one to report the details.

It was because he couldn’t use the guild’s money roughly.

“This staff hotel here in Namyangju is right next to the dungeon, and it has already been repaired 11 times? It seems like a money-eating machine, why do you keep maintaining this?”

“It’s symbolic as it’s the first employee hotel built by our guild, and in the case of field dungeons, it’s a one-month outing. I know I can’t work without it.”

“Anyway, billions of dollars are going in here every quarter. What do you think of putting a new one in a safe zone rather than spending it up to something? No matter how symbolic it may be, let’s see… Almost 50 billion won has gone into it so far, but looking at the reference photos, how can this be called a hotel? Compared to the fortress hotel, it’s almost like an abandoned building. Did the former regional captain say anything?”

“Actually, that building was raised by the guild leader himself. You knew the problem, but you couldn’t help it… … .”

“ah… Guild Master. I see. Then what… I’ll tell you how I do this later. And I think you can do the local service here. Is there one of our ships in Incheon Port? This boat… There is no record of departure for one year. It seems that the maintenance cost alone is in the billions per month. What is it for?”

“That ship is a transport ship used during the expedition to the Chinese continent.”

“If it was ‘used’, do you mean it is not used now?”

“In the past, there was a guild-led project to open a road to China to bring in new resources. However, soon after, the new Chinese government declared exclusive contracts with some domestic guilds, and since then they have been strictly banned from entering the country. So right now I can’t enter unless it’s a contracted guild, so I’m just keeping it.”

“It means that it is being neglected. Well, I’m going to look at this again later. Well, I think this is the last one, so let me ask you one question. Do approvals come up like this often?”

“no. What you see now are payments overdue for two months. These are things that have been piling up while the regional commander was away.”

“You seem to have been promoted two months ago, right?”

“It’s not like that, but the former regional chief passed away in an accident two months ago. Originally, the seat should be filled right away, but it was delayed because of preparations for the Yeongji War.”

“ah. by accident… I understand for now. Then there is no more payment for today, right?”

“yes. Probably won’t be for a while. If it is not an urgent issue, most of the time is available, so it is a system that is usually raised through regular meetings, but if you check it through the secretary, you will be able to get a rough idea.

A month has passed quickly since the inauguration.

Tae-jung, who had learned the overall work and figured out how the local university worked, realized that this position was not as tight as he thought.

It is a local area where business trips and outings are more frequent than other ministries, but in reality, there are few things that you have to do.

It’s only about attending monthly meetings or signing approval documents that come up.

Of course, if the budget didn’t come down, there were times when we had to schedule meetings with various organizations over several days.

However, according to staff, such cases were few and far between.

I mean.

It meant time was running out.

“great. I’m done figuring it out, so let’s do some of my work now.”

[Nordic trap]

Rank: Blue 8

Difficulty: Good

Caution – Monster Bomb Drop by Irregular Trap.

Attack. Cross the stone bridge by knocking on it.

Do not leave the area until all monsters per trap have been captured.

Team size and composition are very important.

Even though it is a wave type dungeon, the range per area is narrow, so make a party with a focus on melee.

There is a very rare chance that a nordic heart will drop.

Market value 3.5 billion.

Taejeong, who was looking through the materials requested in advance, picked up a tablet and left the office.

Then Park Se-ah, who was waiting, stopped what she was doing and stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“To hunt. Please wait for the car on the first floor.”

“yes.”

Taejeong, who came out of the building, took Kim Hyung-sik’s car, which arrived shortly after, and headed to Wonju, Gangwon-do, where the dungeon was located.

An empty lot in the old town that we arrived at.

I saw a brightly shining gate and 4 hunters guarding it.

As Tae-jeong approached, the hunters who had been contacted in advance greeted him holding the knife angle.

“hello! It’s an honor to meet the new regional captain!”

“Nice to meet you. Have a hard time.”

“Yes!”

He entered the gate past the hunters with strong military discipline and entered a huge space.

An endless white space with a checkered floor.

It was a space that I couldn’t even imagine how big it was except for the portal that was visible far away.

“If this is not checked on the floor, it would be perfect for getting lost.”

For a while, I was inspired by a place I had never seen before.

He soon summoned an exoskeleton leg.

“I told you to move one space at a time.”

The area of each check was a square measuring 50 meters by 50 meters.

Traps are random, and when activated, you must clear the monsters and move on to the next cell.

Otherwise, irreversible things could happen because they could not handle the growing number of objects.

But that’s about normal hunters… … .

Taejeong’s case was a little different.

Because he’s a hidden mechanic player.

“Then let’s start slowly.”

After he finished speaking, he started running with all his might towards the front.

His new model, which bounces 2 or 3 meters per step and moves away quickly.

A light shone in front of him as he passed the first section and entered the second section in an instant.

Dozens of giant monsters appeared at the same time.

But there was no conflict.

It was because Tae-jung, who made a turn right away, ran to the left, ignoring them.

Soon after, dozens of monsters appeared in front of Taejeong, who arrived in another room, emitting light.

But this time, too, he turned without looking back and started running towards the other square.

After Taejeong deliberately set off the trap while wandering around the square, about 200 monsters were already chasing him fiercely.

The distance between the two gradually narrows.

Seeing that their speed was greater than expected, he summoned an additional booster and sprinted across the land.

An endless checkerboard and a horde of monsters popping out and joining in line with it.

In this space, which had already stepped over 100 squares, more than 2,000 monsters were swarming.

Still, Tae-jeong had no intention of starting the hunt.

‘It’s still a long way, with this much.’

Tae-jeong wanted to step on all the traps here if she could.

If you enter the next portal anyway, there is only a boss, so you have to pick as many mulberries as possible here.

To do so, a minimum quantity of 10,000 units was required.

It’s only at that level that you’ll be able to level up meaningfully.

After walking around for a long time, he suddenly realized that all retreats were blocked.

It was because the size of the rest of the monsters that had been summoned so many had increased to the extent that they exceeded his radius of action.

When I checked the time, 50 minutes had already passed.

For 50 minutes, they walked around stepping on traps to die.

As if he thought he was done now, he immediately summoned a blaster and soared high into the sky.

Monsters who can no longer chase him and stare blankly at the sky.

Their number reached 15,000.

“great. That’s enough of the ingredients, and now let’s try mixing it up to make it taste good.”

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of bullets of light energy fired from his muzzle per minute.

It fell like a shower and began to melt away the monsters that were constantly raising their heads.

Tata Tang! Tattang! Tata Tata Tang!

[Acquire 700,000 EXP.]

[You have killed Andrea.]

[Acquire 870,000 EXP.]

[You have defeated Doran.]

[Experience… … .]

[Level up… … .]

The monsters being swept away helplessly and the constant experience notification sounds.

Despite being smashed in piles, there was nothing the guys without ranged attacks could do.

The only choice is to hit and run.

At the thrill of pleasure, Tae-jung exclaimed inwardly.

‘This is it.’
