Han Young-tae was a so-called dungeon fan.
A dungeon fan who knows nothing about monster types and dungeons.
Naturally, a hunter who hunts monsters in and out of such dungeons was also one of his important interests.
“Are the rumors that Guild Leader Yeom Chang-soo and Guild Leader Joo Yong-seop are going to have a fight?”
From time immemorial, whether in sports or anything, there has been a constant debate about who is stronger and who will win.
In particular, as the topic became impossible to realize, such as a virtual confrontation between a celebrity of the past and a celebrity of the present, the debate became even hotter.
In that sense, the confrontation between Yeom Chang-soo and Joo Yong-seop was enough to make people like Han Young-tae heat up.
Both of them are hunters with one of the best skills in Korea, they are strong, and they formed a strange rivalry.
However, the barriers in reality were not formidable for their confrontation to take place.
As both of them, as representatives of a guild, the side effects to bear in case of defeat were too great, and the government could not stand still and watch the confrontation between the two important figures.
Han Young-tae raised his cell phone with a sad expression and said.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”
Han Young-tae habitually accessed the video site.
His hobby is to show off his dungeon fanatic knowledge to others in a video about the hunter’s virtual showdown.
“Hunter with only weapons VS Hunter with only armor? It’s tough, it’s tough. This is unconditional.”
Although Han Young-tae was also an unawakened public, he was proud of his dungeon-related knowledge.
It was because Han Young-tae was a true devotee to the extent that he knew the types of special equipment and their functions one after another.
Han Young-tae wrote a comment on his cell phone.
“Currently, weapons and equipment are made of materials from monsters. Then, of course, the intensity will be the same. If that’s the case, then, of course, a weapon specialized for attack has an advantage. Although there is no armor, the hunter’s body itself is strengthened, so he will be able to withstand a few clumsy fists. Of course, the result may differ depending on whether it is a special weapon or not, but under the assumption that it is a normal situation, a close-up win is unconditional.”
As soon as I finish writing the comments, the counter-comments run down the line.
Han Young-tae defeated such counter-reviews one by one, boasting his knowledge.
“Foolish bastards.”
Of course, there were some who couldn’t accept it until the end and came out ugly, but edifying them is also one of the fun of the comment debate.
In such a fierce battle for comments, a comment suddenly came out of nowhere.
-crazy. Yeom Chang-soo vs Joo Yong-seop are out!
Han Young-tae laughed at that comment and said.
“At fishing level.”
Han Young-tae’s skill was not low enough to be caught in such low-quality fishing.
However, comments with similar content keep running below it.
“···uh?”
Han Yeong-tae, who had the thought that it might not be normal fishing, hurriedly searched Yeom Chang-su and Joo Yong-seop in the search bar.
And it’s the first video I’ve ever seen.
In the video, there were two men wearing masks, and Han Young-tae recognized at once that they were Yeom Chang-soo and Joo Yong-seop.
“Is it… is it real?”
Han Young-tae clicked the play button with a pounding heart.
and.
thud!!! bang!!
It was a dream come true.
A blood-splattering real battle of superhumans who have far transcended human limits.
Han Young-tae stared at the video, not knowing that saliva was flowing from his mouth.
“Wow… that’s crazy.”
Even though it’s just a video, the tremendous power you can feel from one punch of a fist makes you goosebumps.
After a bloody battle for 15 minutes, the winner is the red mask.
It was Yeom Chang-soo.
-I won!!!
Han Young-tae screamed without realizing it.
“Woah aa!!!”
Then there was silence for a while, then the screen switched to a black screen and the subtitles came up.
-This video is a match that was played in compliance with all safety regulations under the agreement of both sides.
A subtitle that brazenly mentions safety regulations, even though it looks like someone has given them safety regulations.
Han Young-tae hastily pressed the restart button.
And Han Young-tae, who started video analysis using the hyper-analysis skills he had acquired while practicing dungeons.
“···Stadium. It’s not an ordinary stadium. A form I’ve never seen before. Maybe it was made with the hunters fighting in mind. And since the lights are on, it could be a stadium dome stadium in an indoor space…and.”
Han Young-tae closed his eyes and focused on the sound.
“In between the shocks, you can hear people cheering. I mean, a lot of people intuitionally watched them play in this stadium.”
Han Young-tae, who comprehensively analyzed the video like that, said.
“This is real. Whoa!!”
and shouted
“I’m jealous!!!”
What the hell did the spectators gain in their past lives to intuit this legendary game?
“Where is this stadium? Where are you?!”
Reporters flocked to the Busan Dungeon, where only members of the six guilds and government officials normally resided.
“Guild Master Yeom! Just say one word!”
At the reporters’ words, Yeom Chang-soo said with a confident expression.
“What do you mean?”
“The person in the video. Are you not yourself?”
Yeom Chang-soo wants to proudly proclaim that he is the person in the video.
But that’s why there’s no point in wearing a mask.
Besides, I’m already enjoying everything as a winner, so there’s no need to stimulate the Cheonmu Guild.
Yeom Chang-soo shrugged and said.
“I don’t know either. First off, not me.”
“Anyone can see that you are the Guild Leader Yeom.”
“Oh well. I do not know either.”
Yeom Chang-soo looked at the guild members and shouted.
“let’s go!”
“Yes!”
Then, the guild members enter the dungeon with Yeom Chang-soo with a heightened expression on their faces.
Whoever looked at it, it looked like a winner.
And then.
“uh!? Cheonmu Guild!”
With the appearance of Joo Yong-seop and the Cheonmu Guild, reporters flocked to the Cheonmu Guild this time.
“Master of the guild! Are you the person in the video?”
Then, Joo Yong-seop’s face is distorted.
“···no.”
Then a reporter came out and said:
“You played a great match, but unfortunately lost…”
Wow!
Before the reporter could even finish speaking, the cell phone in Joo Yong-seop’s hand was smashed.
Then all the reporters shut their mouths like honey-eaten idiots.
Joo Yong-seop looked at the reporters with flaming eyes and said.
“I said no…”
“Ah… yes.”
Joo Yong-seop looked at the guild members and said.
“let’s go.”
However, unlike the majestic Firebird Guild, the members of the Cheonmu Guild, who seem to be somewhat embarrassed, respond weakly.
“···Yes.”
That’s why Joo Yong-seop, who was hurting the reporter, murmured.
“f*ck…”
The result of the match was shocking to Joo Yong-seop, who had always maintained his coolness, to the point of swearing at him.
Because I never dreamed that I would be defeated by Yeom Chang-soo, who was looking down at me.
“certainly. I will definitely take revenge.”
At first, he led this match to go on, and his anger grew even at Jeong In-soo, who used him.
But after the match, Jeong In-soo said:
I’ll help you.
He said that the result of this match was not because of Joo Yong-seop’s lack, but because of his lack of experience in combat with people.
Jung In-soo said that the guild had already developed a special attack martial arts training and developed it according to the hunter by supposing a battle between hunters, and said that he would help with the special attack martial arts training.
Joo Yong-seop sharpened his teeth and said.
“I will definitely pay you back for this insult.”
The confrontation between Yeom Chang-soo and Joo Yong-seop became a hot topic even for the upper class.
In particular, rumors quickly spread around the people who directly observed the match.
“It was really spectacular. I didn’t know that the Hunters would have that much power.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil, who was attending a meeting with his chaebol friends, said with their eyes shining.
“Is that enough?”
“yes. what is it There is a sense of bliss that comes from the place.”
A sense of superiority that only a select few can enjoy the game that everyone wants to see in a secret place that no one knows about.
Even Gu Yong-gil, who lived his whole life as a member of a chaebol family, had the envy of people, it was the first time he had experienced it.
“Isn’t that the event was hosted by Jeong In, Development and CEO Jeong?”
“right.”
“Come to think of it, Jungin’s development has really grown a lot. It’s been like this in just a few years. What are the sales?”
Then a friend tilted his head and said,
“I don’t know for sure because it’s unlisted, but maybe it will be over 1 trillion won?”
“Hey. great? Doesn’t this mean that our family is also caught up?”
Those present at the meeting burst into laughter.
“How easy would that be? 1 trillion in sales and 10 trillion in sales are the difference between heaven and earth. Where are one or two medium-sized companies that can’t get over that wall?”
“It is.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil shook his head at the sight of his friends.
“CEO Jung is not someone to look down on like that. And 1st?”
Koo Yong-gil knows the true face of CEO Jung to some extent.
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a smirk.
“Is that really that much?”
“···okay?”
“CEO Jung is a person who has more hidden things than revealed like this stadium. snow-white fruit. Would this be enough to give you a feeling?”
“Ah… Snow White. That’s right. There wasn’t much to mention, so I forgot.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil took a sip and said.
“He’s a person who has nothing to do with being friendly. I’ll just tell you this much.”
“Hmm… is that so?”
Then a friend said
“ah. By the way, the game isn’t open again? I want to see it myself.”
At that, Gu Yong-gil said with a smile.
“Do you have to show me well?”
“What?”
Hue is the goat
Goo Yong-gil told his friends about the future operation of the stadium created by Jeong In-su.
They were all elite courses, so I could immediately see what that meant.
“…is that very attractive?”
“It’s a VIP…”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a relaxed expression.
“There is only one way to join. How to get recommendations from VIPs like me. There’s no other way to get in. Even I don’t know where the stadium is yet.”
“What? Do you even know where it is?”
“okay. That’s why CEO Jung is a thorough person.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a smile.
“So I have more credibility. Anyone interested anyway?”
Then both you and your friends raise their hands.
“me! Recommend me!”
“me too!”
Some media have complained that it is illegal, but it is not the mainstream media, and the players in the game keep their mouths shut saying that they are not themselves. What should I do?
There is no money involved, so legally speaking, the crime of assault or the Hunter Special Act should be applied, but the parties are denying each other.
In order for the assault or the Hunter Special Act to be applied, the investigation requires that the person or someone report it, but the investigation requirements themselves cannot be established because the parties leave the assault itself and deny that they are not themselves.
Of course, some people with nothing to do were reported based on the video, but in a situation where they say they are not the parties, who will be considered as the perpetrators and victims of the assault and will be investigated?
That is to say, the police have nothing to do with it.
The general public is clamoring for a bit, but as time passes, it will be regarded as just an incident and will be forgotten.
Anyway, the existence of the stadium where the hunters compete was known through the video.
However, only a very few of the upper class can get there.
And the people on the letters of recommendation that I now have in my hands were the very few who would be candidates.
Originally, it was planned to operate in a way that only one person could be recommended for every 3 months per VIP, but this time, as an exception, we decided to accept recommendations from up to three people.
Now, based on this recommendation, it is judged whether it is acceptable or not, and after signing up, a new recommendation is received 3 months after the original plan.
The reason for the three-month period is simple.
First of all, there is a limit to the number that can be physically filled in with an eye patch.
Security is essential until you are seated.
However, the small number of VIPs was not necessarily a bad thing.
Isn’t there a saying by a famous catering businessman?
If there is no business, reduce the table.
The narrower the entry hole is, the more anxious people get.
Keeping the tio to a minimum makes it a dream social place for the upper class.
“Wow!!!”
The heat of the stadium, which began to receive guests in earnest, was really hot.
Because the showdown of dreams that everyone had only imagined was taking place from time to time here.
There are literally all kinds of matches that can be played, such as a hunter with only weapons, a hunter with only armor, and a team match between 10 and 10.
furthermore.
“under!!!”
At Joo Yong-seop’s fist, the hunters go out as a group and fall.
“Whoa. Whoa.”
I said with my eyes shining.
“It’s right.”
I thought that Chang-soo Yeom, who enjoyed the match, was turning into a player, but on the contrary, Yong-seop Joo actively participates in the match in the underground arena.
Of course, it wasn’t about money.
Although we are paying the players generous fight money with the entrance fee received from the guests, to be honest, the top-level hunter, Joo Yong-seop, is not at a satisfactory level.
The reason why Joo Yong-seop participated in the match was to gain practical experience.
Real-world experience against people, not monsters.
Joo Yong-seop is perfecting the special attack martial arts he learned from the Jung-in Guild based on his actual experience here.
“Hmm···”
Even though he was defeated by Yeom Chang-soo, one of the top hunters, Joo Yong-seop, participated in the game from time to time and showed off his overwhelming skills, so the VIPs couldn’t help but be more enthusiastic.
“It’s fast…”
The Jungin Guild didn’t want to participate in this match, but after seeing Joo Yong-seop, I changed my mind a bit.
There is no better place to gain practical experience in fighting between hunters than here.
“In the end, if you want to gain power, you have to win the battle with the hunters and guilds.”
To do this, practical experience is essential.
“… at all. Shall we make this a place for a mock war between guilds?”
When there is a conflict between the guilds, the war is made here, not in the dungeon.
Of course, the place is too small for that, but that’s something you can gradually increase.
From the guild’s point of view, isn’t it a better choice to fight here rather than a war that might lose your real life?
At the same time, it will also provide a great attraction for the upper class, making the stadium’s location even more solid.
A place to resolve disputes between individual hunters or guilds, as well as a playground for the upper class.
Not bad.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“It was also well made.”
I just made a secret arena, but there are countless things that come out of it.
It also gives me a lot of options.
At that time, the audience screamed as Joo Yong-seop knocked down the last hunter and raised his fists.
“Joo Yong-seop is cool!!”
“the best! best!!”
I muttered as I looked at the audience and Joo Yong-seop.
“Anyway, I’ll think about it gradually… and the atmosphere must have matured slowly…”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Shall we introduce betting?”
I didn’t gamble to reassure people, but I tried to convince people what to do, but that was literally just a random word to reassure them.
Hue is the goat
Gambling should not be missed on such a good board.
At first, it was about making a light bet among the audience among acquaintances, but I intervened in earnest and grew the game.
Among them, there were people who purely wanted to watch the game, but there are a small number of people who want to participate in betting anyway.
It’s a gutsy business of telling you to leave if you don’t like it.
Because there are a lot of people who want to come in on their behalf anyway.
In any case, although there was some minor backlash, most others welcomed the decision.
The upper classes have nothing to regret if all of them are money.
They bet money on the hunters they supported, cheering them on, and getting more and more into the game.
Naturally, the sales of the stadium increased vertically, and I began to gradually expand the size and platform of the stadium by giving a portion of it to the players.
Then, fighting money was paid to the extent of being able to live only as a player, and hunters who hoped for a real full-time player appeared, and the stadium became more and more stable.
As a full-time player appeared regularly, a fan base supporting him was created, and the underground stadium became a sport.
“It’s fine.”
Now, a few months later, the stadium is filled with new VIPs, and from then on, it’s open to business.
crackdown?
If we crack down here, the Republic of Korea could be shaken, but is it possible to crack down on it?
And before that, the Dangjin police had already fallen into my hands, and the prosecutors were unable to come out.
Even as a government, it would be beneficial to just pretend not to know.
If the guilds’ simulated wars are added to that, who can touch this?
“Um… can we make another stadium?”
Since there is only one stadium now, players compete in it.
But if we create and activate stadiums in other places, wouldn’t it be possible to create a competitive structure for each stadium from then on?
A big match between the champions of the Gangneung Stadium and the champions of the Dangjin Stadium is good to bet on a title like this.
“okay. let’s make more We’re turning every stadium into a team.”
Anyway, in Gangneung, the land is currently being plowed for the construction of a resort, so it will be much easier than digging and making it secretly like in Dangjin.
I was thinking about plans like that when someone knocked on the door.
“president. This is Jaejin Lee.”
“uh. Jaejin. come in.”
Jaejin Lee came into the office like that.
“What’s up?”
“It’s not something else, but I came here to ask for your opinion because I thought it might be okay to prepare for the boss attack.”
I said with a smile.
“Finally… Boss.”
It is true that I have a lot of knowledge about dungeons, but after all, I am an ordinary person who has never entered a dungeon.
In the future, the dungeon will become more and more dangerous as you go on, but I couldn’t completely solve everything until when.
Therefore, the boss dungeon timing was instructed to judge by the Jeongin Guild, but Jaejin Lee and the Jungin Guild finally made a decision.
“great. Shall we prepare then?”
“Yes.”
As always, the boss will give you a reward that is commensurate with the difficulty.
Especially from the C-class dungeon boss, it gives a special reward.
And the reward plays a decisive role in which the balance of power is tilted toward the hunter.
Of course, if you preempt that reward at the beginning, the Jeongin Guild will have a different level of power than other guilds.
I said with a smile.
“Let’s eat them all. As always.”
