Chapter 173 Dark SpiritYoon Tae-seong quietly returned to Korea after resolving some legal problems due to smuggling.
Celebrities forget everything if they don’t appear on TV for a few months, and nobody cares. Yoon Tae-sung was once famous as a hunter, and it was a big issue, but no one was interested.
Even if it wasn’t Tae-seong Yoon, it was because there were many hunters who had already become famous.
However, just in case you didn’t know, Tae-sung Yoon’s immigration process went very quickly without anyone knowing. It was a VIP service that the president of a large corporation could receive.
“Tae Sung-ah.”
“Long time no see? It’s late, but congratulations on becoming the director.”
The director of the dungeon management was a ministerial-level official.
“What congratulations… This seat is a headache.”
If it was a ministerial level, of course, it was a battle to win each other. It was the same as the position of the dungeon manager, but now it has become a position where we try to avoid each other.
The minister has to directly lead the work, and there are many responsibilities that he has to take responsibility for, and there is a lot of work to be done.
There were only three people at the airport: Haejun Park, his secretary, and Dr. Choi Sohee.
There were 4 people in the car.
“What the hell are you doing in America? I saw it as a news or article, but now there is an uproar in the NIS.”
Since he is registered as a level 3 dangerous person, an alert was delivered to the National Intelligence Service after formally going through immigration procedures.
Naturally, the intelligence agencies of various countries must have known that Yoon Tae-sung had entered Korea.
“Ah… is that it? I’ll have to file a complaint with the CIA.”
Well, there are several purposes.
It is also a means of giving a warning to the intelligence agencies of each country, and it is also possible to know the whereabouts of Yoon Tae-sung.
Still, I’m not a terrorist, but I wonder if it’s necessary to register as a dangerous person.
‘Or something… he’s probably warning me.’
We got rid of the Black Walk, but anyway, he was the one who caused the big events in America.
‘Thanks to this, the NIS won’t be able to argue, right?’
The NIS must have figured out the reason, and the CIA must have issued a warning to the NIS. So there would be no disturbance.
“First of all, it would be better to register for a license at the association. The team continued to use Taeseong’s old house. I think it’s the concept of an office and a hideout. Other than that, do you have any more questions?”
When making a phone call through satellite, we simply exchanged business.
Korea changed a lot while Yoon Tae-sung left Korea. Well, since I remember my past life anyway, I don’t have any questions about it.
“I do not know? You have to know something to ask questions.”
“Overall, nothing has changed.”
“Oh, I want to see the power suit in person, is it possible?”
Just by looking at this, you can see how advanced the creation of artifacts has been.
A straney that non-awakened people can use haste and strength, and have magic defense as well.
Looking at this, I thought that the rune network was well planned. Thanks to that, the number of people who die in the dungeon will be much less anyway.
“Come to the central research center at the headquarters later. Although there are some issues to improve, it is difficult to disclose it right now.”
The car was parked at the Seoul headquarters of the Hunter Association.
Park Gyu-tae created the association for personal gain and against the dominance of the Dungeon Management Bureau. However, in the end, the association could not escape the dominance of the Dungeon Management Bureau.
I’ve done it before, but I can’t help it.
This is because the Dungeon Management Bureau manages the dungeon and is the center of dungeon attack.
This was also true of many PMCs.
“Then see you later. Being the director has too many meetings.”
Ministerial level usually dictates direction rather than practice. He also conducts many meetings with the president.
However, the current dungeon management director has to give instructions even on the job, so Park Hae-Joon is a busy person even though he is busy.
Choi Min-hee is left.
“How was Africa?”
“Well, it wasn’t quite as bad as I thought. It wouldn’t hurt to open a branch of the bureaucracy. But will there be hunters who will send troops there?”
“There are now quite a few hunters belonging to the Management Bureau. Let them go first. It is important to reduce the number of active hunters anyway.”
This naturally shortens the rotation time for hunters to attack the dungeon.
“The interval at which the dungeon’s rank increases is too short. It’s already a rank 5 dungeon… Originally, now is the time when rank 3 dungeons should start appearing.”
“I wondered if it was because of me, but I don’t think it was.”
“Is it because of me? I shortened the development time of artifacts too much. Actually, the power suit was the last artifact I studied in my previous life.”
“Well, there’s no point in blaming it now. But it won’t be as easy as it used to be.”
The dungeon develops quickly, but Taeseong Yoon develops faster. Moreover, he also had one incredibly great object called an elixir in the subspace.
At the last minute, this is something that can create a huge opportunity.
While talking, I filled out and submitted the documents for license registration, and it was Yoon’s turn.
“hello? nice to meet you Are you registering for a Hunter License? First of all, congratulations on becoming an Awakened.”
It was a registration, not a license renewal. Because Yoon Tae-seong deleted the old license.
To be more precise, it can be called re-registration.
“The attribute is healing? Healers are very precious these days. Would you like it?”
The employee spoke to Yoon Tae-sung while typing on the keyboard.
She considered Yoon Tae-sung to be a lucky person who had just awakened.
As in the early days, there are people who are awakened by the awakening dungeon, and there are cases where they are awakened accidentally while attacking the dungeon. Of course, in the latter case, a skill-tree can be developed only when there is a first-class skill book. The advantage is that you can choose the properties yourself.
After entering the basic information, Tae-Sung Yoon stood in front of the giant machine. It looks like a machine that does CT scans, but it’s bigger and more complex than the first scan it had before.
“No worries. Stand in the middle and the machine will measure the horsepower. Well, it’s grade 1, but you still need to measure it. If you use a skill, you can measure the skill’s grade and attributes.”
It’s a bit of a weird feature.
‘Is it possible to grasp the flow of magic by using a skill and understand its attributes? You made something great.’
“Now, let’s measure the horsepower first!”
oo…
The machine started to run, and the monitor displayed the measured horsepower of Tae-seong Yoon.
7
“Uh…why is this happening? I’m sorry, but I’ll measure again.”
She worked the machine again.
“Ai, why are you doing this?”
Of course, this machine was exorbitantly expensive. is this broken? Who will be held responsible for that? It is the staff who are in charge of the irony who suffer the most.
“What happen?”
Choi Min-hee asked.
“The machine keeps malfunctioning.”
“What kind of malfunction?”
Choi So-hee designed this machine. So I can’t help but wonder.
“I know this machine quite well.”
“Oh, is it? It keeps coming out as a 7th grade in the horsepower measurement.”
“A grade of 7……?”
I heard that Tae-Sung Yoon attacked a level 5 dungeon alone.
By the way, you’re already level 7?
‘Are you too fast?’
Choi So-hee, who had seen many hunters, thought that this rate of development was impossible even if she attacked the dungeon every day.
‘What the hell are you doing to get to level 7 already?’
There were many facts that Choi Choi didn’t even know about, such as the absorption technique or alchemy’s magic absorption.
Surprisingly, Yoon Tae-seong was also trained in mana core, so when attacking the dungeon, the speed of magic power development was slightly faster than others.
“It’s not a malfunction, so you can just record it as it is.”
Is it possible that she, who is in charge of registering and renewing licenses, does not know the exact facts?
Currently, the highest is level 4.
But is it not a malfunction? Licensing forgery is legally punishable by fairly strong penalties. Because this is a little different from other certifications.
“Since counterfeiting is illegal, it must be measured accurately. Ai, why is the machine in trouble when I work!”
“This person has previously revoked the license and then re-registered it. And because I’m the one who designed this machine, I guarantee it’s never a malfunction.”
Who designed this machine?
A great man has come. If this is enough, the head of the division… No, shouldn’t the president of the association come in person?
“Hey, wait a minute. This is not something I can decide.”
So she just contacted the head of the Seoul headquarters.
Fortunately, I was in a position of the general manager, so I knew about Dr. Choi So-hee’s face.
“Hey, what’s going on here at the Central Research Institute?”
“Well, it’s not something special, there is someone to register for a license.”
First, I was interested in Dr. Choi So-hee, then greeted Yoon Tae-sung. His eyes widened in surprise.
He was the person who still remembered Yoon Tae-sung’s face.
“It is such an honor to meet the best hunter in Korea.”
Fortunately, he was a person who had good feelings for Yoon Tae-sung.
“Yeah, Minjoo? What’s wrong with these people…?”
The staff explained the malfunction of the machine.
“Wow! This is the person who made this machine, so there’s no way he’s not aware of its malfunction. Just issue the license as it is.”
As he spoke, he was very surprised.
Currently, the association’s network is shared with many countries. At the heart of it was the World Hunters Association of France.
There were quite a lot of shared data, such as the Hunter’s rating, strategy, and monster types.
‘It’s 7th grade… wasn’t the highest grade currently at 5th grade?’
Of course, Korea does not have a level 5 hunter yet, but there are very few hunters who update to level 5 in other countries.
But suddenly, there was a level 7 hunter in Korea.
Isn’t this just the shepherding of national prestige?
As the level of the hunter in their country increases, of course, the status of the association also rises.
“By the way, are you really level 7?”
The words came out more carefully.
It’s the grade, and the Hunter himself must know more. He says he can see his stats when he enters the dungeon.
“Yes, that’s right.”
‘But how does a machine figure out the 7th grade just right? Heck, even if the mana core’s magic is strong, level 8 would be unreasonable.’
It was a whopping double the difference, so no matter how much mana core it was, it was difficult to overcome. It’s only fair to say that within the same class, cores are more efficient than circles.
The license came out soon. It was an ID that sparkled like a diamond.
The general manager was very moved by the issuance of the license.
Of course, the license did not simply judge the level of magic power, but the opponent was Yoon Tae-sung.
‘I’m going to issue the world’s first … not gold and diamond licenses myself!’
After the association’s work was over, Choi So-hee looked at Yoon Tae-sung with strange eyes.
“Is level 7 really possible under the current circumstances?”
“I was lucky.”
“It is never possible by luck.”
Does Choi Min-hee not know this?
I couldn’t tell you about the absorption method, and there was no need to tell me. After all, only Yoon Tae-sung can use it.
“It’s thanks to alchemy’s magic absorption. You can become stronger little by little by absorbing the magical power of the Spirit Stone.”
Of course, this is a method that no one else can use. Only those who have mastered the skill book called the basics of alchemy can use it, or, like Yoon Tae-seong, must fully understand and imprint the structure of the runes.
“Ah… did that really happen?”
“Is there any reason why people who use skills without awakening find it strange?”
Although she hadn’t used many skills yet, Choi So-hee was able to use some first-class skills by using the Magic Stone.
“I tried that too, but it didn’t work. Instead, we could make the artifacts more efficient.”
During the conversation, Choi So-hee suddenly came up with an idea.
“ah! What would happen if we applied that magic absorption to the power suit?”
Tae-Sung Yoon has never seen a power suit and doesn’t know the exact structure, how do they know? Choi Min-hee herself knows best.
