Chapter 173: Chapter 173

Although there was a minor misunderstanding, Suho began negotiations with Lim Tae-gyu in earnest.

Suho's original plan was to buy back at a low price the dungeon access rights that the Shinigami Guild, which was struggling with a manpower shortage, could not handle.

However, there was a big variable here: the financial difficulties of the Reaper Guild had become much worse than Suho expected.

Lim Tae-gyu had already sold all of the dungeon access rights held by the guild.

"...So you really don't have any?"

"okay."

"Really at all?"

"That's right."

Tae-gyu Lim explained the situation with a shy expression.

"Our guild decided to operate as a small mercenary group for a while. "Most of the money from selling the strategy went to the cost of equipment."

"...."

Suho flinched slightly at this part.

A class A weapon that Lim Tae-gyu lent to Su-ho before going to the Glacier Dungeon.

The 'Reaper's Bow (replica)' was taken away by the ice elf Sirka who left with his mother, and there was no way to return it to him.

Fortunately, Lim Tae-gyu had no intention of asking for the bow back.

The reason he lent the bow to Su-ho in the first place was because his son Lim Do-gyun belonged to the Woojin guild that Su-ho led, so he gave it to him in the hope that his son would be safe at least a little.

Until Lim Do-gyun left Woojin Guild, he was willing to continue lending.

"okay. It just worked out well. Since you are now a guild leader, I will take this opportunity to briefly explain guild operation. Do-gyun, you are also the vice president, so please listen."

Tae-gyu Lim gave very realistic advice to Su-ho and Do-gyun Lim.

The point was ultimately 'money'.

"In the first place, for a guild to monopolize an entire dungeon, it requires a larger investment than expected. "Without a doubt, the place where the most money is spent is the right to conquer the dungeon."

In other words, in order to win the fierce bidding competition between guilds, the financial power of the guild is required.

The more so-called 'bullets' there were, the more advantageous it was.

"But purchasing a strategy ticket is not the end. Aren't you supposed to recoup your investment in that dungeon? "To do that, again, a lot of money is needed."

"Labor costs?"

"okay. "Seeing as how quickly you understand, I see you've put off being a beginner now."

Lim Tae-gyu nodded his head and continued his explanation.

personnel expenses.

In other words, the labor costs required to call in external services such as mining and collection teams are also significant.

Of course, most of those people were E or D level, so their ransom was not high.

But there were more than one or two of them, and the bigger problem than anything else was....

"I have to give those people the day's wages in their hands when they leave work. However, if the guild's reserves become tight due to purchasing dungeon access rights, it means that they cannot even think of calling for services right away."

No matter how great a hunter he was, he didn't make money as soon as he entered the dungeon.

The structure was such that money could only be deposited into the bank account by selling the corpses of demonic beasts, magic stones, and minerals acquired in the dungeon.

However, even if you dug up minerals in a dungeon, you could not sell them right away that day.

It took at least two days, maybe a few more days.

"From here on, it's a real business area, so it's a completely separate area from hunting monsters."

All of Lim Tae-gyu's explanations were correct.

But in fact, there was no need for Suho to worry about this.

It was decided that Su-ho's uncle, Yoo Jin-ho, would handle such chores in the future.

"however."

There was a reason why Lim Tae-gyu bothered to give these explanations to Su-ho.

"..."I guess your guild doesn't need to hire services like other guilds do."

His eyes turned to Guardian's shadow soldiers who were frantically using pickaxes.

With a very dejected expression.

Boom boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

[Two sets! I can see my hands! If the quantity is less than 1 trillion, it will be out of my hands!] freeweb novel. com

[Keeeeek! Where does someone like the eternal second-in-command come from?]

[Ugh! That damn second-in-command!]

Quay and Ver were leading the shadow miners and competing for mining.

Lim Tae-gyu was unable to hide his dejected expression at the fierce and tremendous sight.

"..."I knew very well that he was a summoner, but I never thought he would be like this."

While others were going bankrupt in real time, the sight of this guild gradually reviving was just disappointing.

However, my feelings were complicated because it was a guild where my son was the vice president(?).

Of course, if he found out that Quay, who was playing with a pickaxe more excitedly than anyone else in front of him, was the one who ruined him, he could have vomited blood right here and there.

Sometimes what you don't know is medicine.

'hmm. But has Suho been able to summon this many summoned beasts in the past?'

I couldn't help but wonder this question.

'Could it be that you were hiding your power back then? There would be no reason to do that.'

It was impossible for Lim Tae-gyu to reach the truth that Su-ho was a special hunter who gradually grew as he leveled up.

Because such a thing was far beyond the scope of imagination in the first place.

Suho nodded his head and asked Lim Tae-gyu.

"Anyway, what you're saying is that you really don't have any access to the dungeon. "Then can you do me one more favor?"

"What please?"

"Currently, our Woojin Guild's reserves are 1 billion. Since I have already come down to Busan, can I buy a dungeon for the Knights Guild with this money?"

"You're asking me to act as an intermediary. "That's not difficult."

It was Lim Tae-gyu who quickly nodded his head at those words.

"I guess that's what you want too?"

His prediction was correct.

These days, there are quite a few dungeons in Busan that are difficult to clear.

Because of this, the Knights Guild was also experiencing a manpower shortage to the extent that it hired several mercenary groups, including the Reaper Guild.

As a result, the right to conquer the dungeon could be transferred for a fairly low price.

"But will you be okay?"

"What?"

"Because of this, all the reporters in Busan are flocking to Haeundae to interview you. Moreover, in Busan city now... ...."

"Oh, that's okay."

Suho shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.

and.

* * *

"thank you!"

'...hmm?'

Park Jong-su, the president of the Knights Guild, was smiling broadly and holding Lim Do-gyun's hands and shaking them.

"Thanks to the hard work of the Woojin Guild, this situation was able to be resolved smoothly!"

Wow!

Along with that, cheers poured heavily towards him.

'...'Hmm?'

"In that sense, on behalf of Busan City, I would like to give a plaque of gratitude to Hunter Lim Do-gyun, Vice President of Woojin Guild, for resolving this situation."

"...?"

Suddenly, it was Lim Do-gyun who was receiving a plaque of appreciation from the mayor of Busan.

Papapapapapapang!

Camera flashes exploding from all directions dazzled his eyes.

Lim Do-gyun thought.

'Who am I?'

If you ask who it was, it was the Vice President of Woojin Guild.

'Where am I?'

Busan City Hall.

In the middle of the event hall where appreciation plaques are awarded.

It was the center of all spotlights.

Haeundae, off the coast of Busan, was one of Busan's core areas.

If this place collapsed, Busan could have suffered an economic blow in many ways.

However, Woojin's guild, who had resolved the dangerous situation, said that they would 'specially' stay behind and attack more dungeons in Busan, and in the end, even the mayor of Busan showed up in person with a plaque of appreciation.

Of course, these appreciation plaques were useless items that did not make any money and could not be sold even on the second-hand market.

But it had its own meaning.

Now Woojin Guild can proudly operate in Busan City as a trustworthy guild directly certified by the Mayor of Busan.

"But it looks like CEO Seong Soo-ho is very busy. "Hehehe."

"yes. Our boss has now entered the dungeon... ...."

To the Mayor of Busan's subtle question as to why the president did not personally attend such an auspicious occasion, Lim Do-gyun struggled to answer while suppressing the feeling that he was about to cry.

Yes, it was a dungeon.

Although it was a shadow dungeon.

Seong Su-ho, who was supposed to be here, left all the troublesome work to Lim Do-gyun and suddenly went back to doing daily quests.

"Hehehe. Well, it's okay. Are the hunters busy for a day or two? Well, Vice President Lim Do-gyun, since the appreciation plaque awarding ceremony is over, please go to our office. "I have prepared a contract related to conquering the dungeon."

"...yes."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Vice President Do-gyun Lim is the son of Hunter Tae-gyu Lim? "Maybe it's because he takes after his father."

Lim Do-gyun, who was suddenly surrounded by high-ranking people, followed behind the knight guild leader with a face like a corpse.

in real time...I was feeling dizzy.

However, in a completely different sense from Lim Do-gyun, there was also a huge crisis ahead of Su-ho.

* * *

"what...."

Suho, who entered the shadow dungeon to do the daily quest, couldn't help but be scared.

Ammut, the master of strong body techniques... ....

[Hehehe. Can you feel the difference in power?]

For some reason, Ammut was twice as big as usual!

The pyramid is getting bigger too!

Moreover, for some unknown reason, an unusual black light beam was shooting out from the top of the pyramid.

However, the biggest problem was that Ammut did not just increase in size.

Coo coo coo coo...!

[Then let's start training.]

"Now, wait a minute. "It seems like the atmosphere has changed a lot compared to usual?"

[Ah, nothing to worry about. Because I already got permission from your dad.]

'What on earth!'

Nerves... ...It was written!

The state of the gravitational field pressing down on my entire body was also very unusual!

At that time, from a distance away, Ver was nodding his head with an extremely happy smile.

[It's okay to go through hardships when you're young. As hard as it is, the reward is definitely... ....]

'The reward is the same anyway!'

Suho was disgusted and started doing his push-ups.

Tdu-duk!

"Turn it off!"

And both arms were broken at once.

Whirling!

Then, a bandage flew out and wrapped the arm, and today's Chi Gangseojutsu training began in earnest.

"Aaaah...!"

[Khahahahaha!]

And so the torture, or rather the training, twice as much as usual began.

[The level of 'Skill: Tenacity' has increased!]

[Physical defense +140% → +160%]

Even when engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Xavier, his quiet tenacity skills improved immediately.

And after some time.

The reward arrived in front of Su-ho, who was lying on the floor like a rag with his limbs tattered.

[The following rewards are available.]

Reward 1. Status recovery

Reward 2. Ability points +5

Reward 3. 2 random boxes

"..."Has the reward increased?"

The daily quest reward, which originally gave +3 ability points, had been changed to +5.

There are also two random boxes.

But why?

I wasn't thankful at all.
