Proof of Value (6)

* * *

KRW 161.6 billion.

After disposing of all the orange magic stones, it was the balance recorded in Ganghu’s bankbook.

Considering that second-grade items are usually traded at around 100 billion won, the purchase was no problem.

at las.

I was able to realize the purchase of items that I had been thinking about before.

“It’s a pity we’re breaking up, oppa.”

“I can see you again.”

“You wouldn’t see the dungeon without it, right?”

“I can’t deny that.”

When it was time to part ways with Kang-hu, Ban Se-yeong put on a look of regret.

Normally, such feelings are hidden, but Ban Se-young seemed to have no intention of hiding them from herself.

“I’ll pick a dungeon that’s good for Sehyuk and dig it up.”

“Seyeong-ah, I’m listening.”

“Help me, brother! huh?”

“Keep your chin up, man!”

“Ho-ho-ho.”

Kang-hu smiled slightly at the banter between Ban Se-young and Jeon Se-hyeok.

It was so nice to see that.

Of course, it didn’t look good on me. I’m not used to jokes.

Anyway, Kang-hoo broke up with Ban Se-young after promising the next one.

And Jeon Se-hyeok was introduced to the VIP market in Busan.

He said that it is a special market that can only be entered by verifying that he has more than 50 billion won.

It’s a kind of balance verification, but he said it was worth recommending because there were so many good quality items.

‘Busan recognized the VIP market. Because there are many items coming in from overseas.’

It was a setting that was also in the original, so it wasn’t new.

If you do your best, you should be able to find a decent 2nd class weapon. However, the key is whether there is a dagger.

1 hour later.

While waiting for the opening time of the VIP market in the evening, Ganghu was in a nearby hotel.

I contacted Sangmi Yoon.

To finish reaching level 100, it was because Yoon Sang-mi was the fastest alternative for now.

Were you waiting for a call?

Yoon Sang-mi answered the phone before the signal even ended. It was so fast that I wondered if I had received it by mistake.

– Huh, brother? Are you in touch faster than you think?

“I know. The work ended earlier than expected. Is the dungeon clearing still valid?”

– What do you mean? Hey, Seongyu Jeong! It’s an empty seat to go with you. How can it be invalid?

“Why are you taking it so seriously?”

– Quit-quick. You don’t know who took it seriously?

“… … .”

Come to think of it, Yoon Sang-mi was right to play a joke.

Is it because of worn out emotions? It seemed that he had not read the joy and mischief contained in it.

Because it is also a characteristic of the human Xin Ganghu, who can’t help it, Kanghu shook his head as if resigned.

And it turned the topic.

“I’m going to buy one item here in Busan and go up on the KTX right away. Where can I go?”

– It’s on the outskirts of Daejeon. I’ll let you know the location when my brother leaves.

It felt like I was going to Daejeon often these days.

Still, it was close to the metropolitan area and the security was pretty good, so I didn’t mind going in and out.

If you look at the power map that makes up the Daejeon area, it would be no surprise if it exploded at any time.

Paradoxically, peace in the Great War was maintained thanks to the tight balance of power.

“I’ll call you around dawn.”

– all right. I need to get some sleep

“Take good care of your condition.”

– I’ll wait.

“huh.”

The short call is over.

There seemed to be no problem in clearing the dungeon, so reaching level 100 was certain. It’s just a matter of time.

Then, a text message came from Jeon Se-hyeok.

It was a meticulous guide on the location of the VIP market and related matters.

Even Kang-hoo knew everything about it, but he understood it once again.

To certify a balance of 50 billion won or more. And the VIP market only deals with items of 3rd grade or higher.

In a word, it means that there are many leisurely guests. You may meet an unexpected relationship.

“Was it about now?”

Suddenly, a memory came to mind, and Kang-hu searched for keywords on the desktop in the room.

It’s ‘Hell of Judgment’.

It was about a large-scale dungeon raid that was presumed to be posted by the Jeonghwa Guild soon.

As expected, recruitment posts and related videos were uploaded.

It was Jang Si-hwan, a presence that made me feel strange every time I saw it.

[Respected and beloved Hunters. hello? It’s lacking, but I’m Jang Si-hwan, who is in charge of the representative of the purification guild.]

[The huge portal found in Ground Zero three months ago led us to an unknown world.]

[We decided to call it Judgment Hell. Where death happens casually, this must have been hell.]

At first glance, listening to Jang Si-hwan’s words, he seems quite frightened about the dungeon.

The reality was different.

It was a completely intentional comment.

In order to stimulate the curiosity and desire of hunters who enjoy challenges and adventures, they ‘pretend’ to be frightened.

This is because the Purification Guild needs a mercenary who will rush like a moth to a fire, feeling the stimulation rather than being afraid of danger.

In fact, it is an announcement to get a cannon fodder, but few hunters will grasp the nature of it. maybe not at all

[This huge and unknown unknown world is not a world that only our purification guild can handle.]

[I want to provide hunters with opportunities to take on challenges and grow together by sharing trials and tribulations.]

[wait. We are looking for heroes to participate in the attack on Judgment Hell with our Purification Guild.]

The reaction was explosive.

I don’t know if the comments on the video were for work or sincere, but they were all praised by Jang Si-hwan.

It was an unfamiliar reaction that the Jeonghwa Guild was really great for giving them the opportunity to do it all on their own.

However, because the external image of the Jeonghwa Guild was so good, there were parts that sounded plausible.

“The purpose is obvious, but it is a temptation that cannot be given up. I don’t even want to open my eyes and give it a chance.”

Ganghu’s goal was clear.

Afterwards, in the invasion of Hell of Judgement, Sihwan Jang experiences another growth through a chance.

You will get two very meaningful opportunities.

In short, it was a splendid stage that the writer openly created for the growth of the main character in the original work.

I didn’t mean to just let this go.

Of course, it is natural to take it unconditionally.

Even more so, if the target to benefit from was the one who would eventually become the enemy, he couldn’t give up all the more.

“The interview is a problem.”

Kang Hu frowned.

Mercenaries recruited from outside must go through an interview process.

In the process, some personal information will naturally be transferred, and all records will remain in the database.

If you stand out in the attack, there is a very high possibility that the Purification Guild will be interested in you.

You will also receive attention from Jang Si-hwan and Chae Kwan-hyung. So there were parts that I was concerned about.

“But go for now.”

Kanghu diligently moved his mouse and began preparing to insert the mobile application form.

The method was simple.

All I had to do was include a pseudonym, a photo, and a bit of career introduction and level information. It would be nice to have class information as well.

The rest is up to the person in charge to decide during the interview process.

“If you use too few, you may be eliminated from the document review, so should you write down the types of skills a bit more?”

If you hide your hand too much, you may not even be given a chance at all.

It’s a pity that I have to disclose some of the skill information, but it’s not like I’ll live without using skills for the rest of my life anyway.

Kanghu started writing down a list of skills that he thought it would be okay to reveal.

Probably the paper interviewers probably won’t believe this. would consider it impossible

That was what Ganghu was aiming for. Then, even out of curiosity, he will call himself to the actual interview site.

that time.

Outside of Sangmi Yoon’s perceptible range, a man quietly followed her.

‘It’s true that he has strong power, but he doesn’t have the agility to match.’

Maintaining the proper distance, Yoon Sang-mi seemed unaware that she was being followed.

In the meantime, he finished talking on the phone with someone, and the man instinctively sensed the connection.

The man’s true identity was a solver.

The traces of mana that were deeply buried in Yoon Sang-mi definitely matched the traces of mana found in the Gimcheon Haebanggu.

If the relationship was that close, I thought there was a high possibility that the person on the phone this time was also him.

Then the picture becomes simple.

You just have to wait.

He was sure that as long as he kept Yoon Sang-mi within surveillance distance, the other person would show up sooner or later.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Interesting. I want to face you soon. It’s been a while since he’s the first one to make my heart pound.’

The corner of the solver’s mouth went up awkwardly. In its own way, it was an emotional expression that was brought out to the maximum.

I wanted to stick to one quickly.

I couldn’t kill him because there was a request from Shin Jun-ho, but in other words, I had to kill him.

It means that it doesn’t matter if you struggle to your heart’s content in it.

“… … .”

The fixer licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and disappeared into the darkness again.

Yoon Sang-mi still seemed to know nothing.

He is specialized in hiding his presence. If you find out, that’s even weirder.

* * *

That night.

‘It’s kind of picky.’

Kanghu was entering the market after going through the VIP market procedures, including checking the balance at the entrance and taking a face photo.

Living up to its reputation, the VIP Market used an entire 10-story building.

The name of the owner of the building and the person in charge of running the VIP market at the same time was Kang Bok-hwa.

It’s not a name like the current generation, but a woman’s name that seems to be middle-aged even with a guess.

It was an unfamiliar name to Kang-hoo. It was clear that the name was never mentioned in the original work.

Anyway, when I went inside, I could see quite a few foreign hunters from the lobby.

There were quite a few hunters from the United States or Germany, not to mention Japanese and Chinese.

In particular, there were a lot of hunters who looked like magic, and among the items sold, the proportion of magic-type items was high.

After overhearing the conversations between customers, it seemed that Kang Bok-hwa had brought in a lot of goods from abroad.

‘This is almost the same concept behind the scenes… … Who is it?’

I couldn’t guess at all.

In order to bring items to be sold in the VIP market by air from overseas, it is not possible to have a decent amount of capital.

Of course, it wouldn’t have been bought with full price, but it might have been brought in through proxy sales.

In the end, this wasn’t usually expensive because you had to put 20% of the appraised value as a deposit.

If you want to get a second-grade item and sell it as a proxy, you have to pay a deposit of 20 billion and bring it.

Everyone was dressed to the fullest, so no matter where you looked, you could see a sense of luxury.

“… … .”

Many hunters’ eyes were focused on Kang-hu, who came in clumsy clothes that did not suit his dignity.

In a good way, it was focused, and in a bad way, it was closer to ignoring it.

Of course, Ganghu didn’t even care.

Battles can take place here, and the current clothes are specialized for battles that can happen at any time.

but right then

In the front, a man was drinking a glass of champagne, hugging a woman’s waist, and greeting the hunters around her. All hunters facing the man bowed their heads.

wanted someone

So the moment I glanced at his face, his true identity was immediately revealed.

‘okay. It would be disappointing if a guy like that wasn’t in a place like this.’

Ranked 3rd in the Purification Guild.

It was Shin Tae-seok.
