The Black Mamba Guild gathered in the conference room.
I can do simple conversations myself, but this is business, so I had a meeting with an interpreter.
“First of all, tell us about the level of information about the bosses that the Black Mamba Guild currently knows. That way, I think we can keep going.”
The Black Mamba guild leader Chris, who was silent for a moment at my words, said.
“Although it is unofficial, it is said that they have successfully attacked the Lightning Stalker boss.”
“Five?”
already got it?
Also, is America American?
With the status and money of the world’s most powerful country, it was like the United States, absorbing hunters from poor countries like crazy.
Perhaps the reason the Lightning Stalker was chosen as the first target was because it was the first boss the Jungin Guild attacked.
“That’s great. But if it’s informal… You mean you haven’t revealed it to the world yet?”
It’s obvious why
In order to monopolize the information of the Black Mamba Guild alone.
“Seven guild members were killed in an unexpected wide-area attack, and it is said that they were able to obtain a countermeasure through their sacrifice.”
“What would be the solution?”
Chris, who was silent for a moment, said to the interpreter as he realized that hiding it was meaningless to me anyway.
“that… It is said that it was a method using a lightning rod.”
It’s also the simplest.
People are not stupid, and once they experience it, there is a way to deal with them.
Nevertheless, the reason people hang their heads on my information is to avoid such trial and error.
“Anyway, we couldn’t disclose the information we obtained so hard to anyone… .”
okay.
Originally, this was normal.
How did you get this information and share it with other guilds?
It is information obtained based on the sacrifice of the guild members.
That’s why guilds in their previous lives became more and more secretive and moved independently.
But I threw a bomb at those guilds.
I’ll give you the information so you can come and work.
Chris looked at me intently and said.
“Anyway, they say they are very happy that the Black Mamba Guild was chosen. To be honest, he said that if he hadn’t been chosen, he would have been outraged because of his resentment.”
The situation is that they are getting information day by day because they were sacrificed 7 people each, but someone was chosen just because they were lucky.
It makes me angry.
And this is true for all other top-level American guilds except Black Mamba.
“Anyway, I can’t help but ask this again. Chris Guild.”
I said with a smile.
“What did the US government say? After you get all the attack information, can you share it with the government?”
Of course, this would be the default.
Chris puts a bewildered expression on my fastball.
Just looking at the reaction will give you the answer.
I shrugged and said.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. Because it was done with that in mind in the first place. As long as the information is not leaked within the period as stated in the contract, you can do whatever you want from then on. It’s all over the U.S., no matter what. However… .”
I said with a smile.
“Is that really beneficial to the Black Mamba Guild?”
Chris said with a meaningful expression on my words.
“What do you mean by that?”
“This is the information I learned from coming to a distant foreign land as a representative of the United States, but it would be a bit of a waste to share this fruit with other guilds who made no effort at all.”
In previous lives, the guilds had a parallel structure in which each independently collected attack information.
The saying that each guild is an independent entity.
Then, each guild gathers information through collaboration and succession, and eventually, the strategy information is completed from the bottom to the top.
But when I start sharing strategy information, the structure is completely reversed.
From guilds that have already completed information to guilds in Korea.
Then, a pyramid of information sharing that leads from Korean guilds to overseas top guilds and from overseas top guilds back to other guilds abroad.
You can’t completely control the information anyway.
However, if this structure is fully established, it will be possible to control the speed of information disclosure.
“We made a promise to share information with the US government, so we will keep it, but we will solve the boss attack information one by one.”
A structure in which information is slowly released from me at the top of the pyramid.
There’s nothing wrong with guilds like the Black Mamba Guild in the middle of the pyramid.
The later the information is released, the more the Black Mamba Guild’s profits are maximized, and having the information itself is a great strength to the Black Mamba Guild.
Chris said with a smile on his lips.
“They say they like it.”
And as their power grows, my power to choose the middle layer of the pyramid will inevitably be maximized as well.
It is no different from my existing businesses, especially the black market point organization.
The middle legs move for their own benefit, and that movement is ultimately my benefit.
“good.”
I reached out to Chris and said.
“Let’s do it well.”
Chris also took my hand and said.
“He said it was a very good time.”
“Ah, and I have some equipment needed to attack the boss… It’s a special one, so it’s a little expensive.”
These are foreign workers who have been airlifted from abroad.
After all, I will go back to my home country after work, so where is the need to take care of everything?
If so, you should also purchase the equipment you need to work on your own.
Honestly, like a lightning rod spear?
It doesn’t cost a few hundred.
The basic concepts are not difficult items, so if you order them anywhere, you will be able to make them quickly.
The problem is the terms of the contract.
Information related to boss attack is prohibited from leaking outside until the contract period is over.
Of course, the production of equipment used for attack was also classified as a confidential matter in a broad sense.
Then, of course, isn’t it the default to take extortion?
I said with a smile.
“We will serve you at 200 million won each at a low price.”
* * *
So, starting with the United States, the top foreign guilds came in one after another.
Every time they came in, I had a meeting and made a plate by telling the same story I did to the Black Mamba Guild.
And the 11th guild that finally entered the country.
It was the Chinese Eight Dragons Guild.
“The Eight Dragons Guild. nice. famous guild. A famous guild.”
It was a very famous guild in a previous life.
on the bad side too.
The Eight Dragons Guild, like other guilds, is strong enough to be counted in one hand in terms of quality and quantity in China.
However, if you look into its internal circumstances, the Eight Dragons Guild was different from the other guilds.
The reason was simple.
That is, the members of the Eight Dragons Guild are all hunters secretly selected by the Chinese government.
In other words, if other guilds are private companies, the Eight Dragons Guild is effectively a secret public company of the Chinese government.
Of course, I’m pretending not to be right now, but I’m shivering.
The reason I know this is that in the future conflict between the Chinese government and the Chinese giant guilds, the Eight Dragons guild sided with the Chinese government, and all those facts were revealed in the process.
Anyway, for that reason, it must have been chosen over other leading guilds in the selection of guilds to go to Korea.
It’s the best hand they can move to their liking.
I said with a smile.
“Are these guys going to steal back-professional information?”
What country is China?
It is China that openly copies it and insists that it is not.
It will probably be the same this time.
Once the information is stolen, it will be actively used by driving the information to guilds secretly created by the government like the Eight Dragons Guild.
“If caught, I have to get rid of it. You definitely have to set an example.”
China’s retaliation or economic sanctions?
I’m sorry, but that’s for the government to take care of and it has nothing to do with me.
If I have to say that my business in China is import/export of dungeon goods and a fake factory, that is only a very small part of my overall business.
Of course, I’ll let them go if they’re surprisingly strict with their contracts, but no matter how you think about them, they’re not like that.
I smiled and got up from my seat.
“Shall we go and hear what he has to say?”
* * *
The executives of the Eight Dragons Guild had already arrived in the conference room.
“Nice to meet you. This is Jeong In-soo.”
When the Chinese interpreter was trying to interpret my words.
One of the Eight Dragons guild executives spoke to me in Korean.
“Nice to meet you. This is Jo Young-ha, the 3rd team leader of the Eight Dragons Guild.”
Jo Young-ha, an executive of the Eight Dragons Guild, speaks a Korean-Chinese dialect.
“You are a Korean compatriot. haha.”
“Yes.”
“Then it will be easier for us to talk. The content is simple.”
I grabbed the paper I had prepared in advance and started reading it.
“No information leakage until the end of the contract period. After that, you know. The skill stone and all by-products are exclusively developed by Jeongin. Expulsion for breach of contract.”
I said as I put the paper down on the table.
“That is all. Do you have anything more to say?”
Other guilds, including the Black Mamba Guild in the United States, even if I don’t remember everything from my previous life, I don’t remember everything, and as the future has changed, I don’t know what will happen in the future, so it’s right to maintain a good relationship as much as possible.
But these guys are the ones who never had anything to do with me from birth and never develop into a good relationship.
Why do I need to explain things kindly to these people?
Information leak rate?
After all, these guys are the government’s bastards.
Even if I don’t tell you, the information leak rate will naturally slow down, as it is obvious that the information will only be distributed to the pro-government guilds.
When I finished the story in a hurry, Jo Young-ha said with a bewildered expression.
“Well, is that the end of it?”
“Yes. After all, we all know each other, but what do you have to say? Oh, the special equipment needed to defeat the boss is 200 million each.”
“Uh… .”
Jo Young-ha, who turned his head and whispered to the guild leader of the Eight Dragons Guild.
“Our guild leader has something to talk about with CEO Jung, can you spare some time?”
What to say to me separately?
It’s obvious what you mean.
A number of countries have already tried to contact us in a similar way.
“I will continue to live in Korea. I don’t need it because I have enough money. I have no intention of accepting any conditions.”
After all, this situation happened because I am Korean.
Of course, getting information from another country’s point of view is also gaining, but the best thing is to take me back to my own country.
patience.
To become a celebrity invited by world powers.
It’s a long time to live in the world.
Anyway, am I leaving Korea because I’m crazy?
Here’s how much I’ve built.
Besides, I am an outsider on the overseas side.
If Korea in my previous life was hell for me, Korea in my present life is really me.
I never leave Korea.
If you have a lot of money, this is a better place to live than anywhere else in the world, but where do you want to go?
Jo Yeong-ha was once again bewildered by my words.
“Yes? no… what is that… .”
I said waving my hands.
“If the fact that you just said you have something to say is not something like coming to China, I will take the time. But if that’s true, let’s move on. Because it’s annoying.”
Hue is the goat
Guild leader of the Eight Dragons Guild said with a firm expression on whether he had heard the story from Jo Young-ha.
“It’s not like the guild leader, but he seems to be very busy, so he said he’ll just skip it today.”
Five.
Are you pretty stupid?
In fact, he said it in a cheeky tone on purpose to provoke his anger, but he is surprisingly patient.
These guys stole information, anyway, it’s cumbersome to find and prove it, so I was going to send it out as an excuse if I just quarrel with it, but it got a little annoying.
I got up from my seat and said.
“Thank you for your consideration. Actually, I’m really busy. haha. Anyway, I’m sure you’ll keep the contract. If you breach the contract… .”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“I’m really going to get kicked out.”
* * *
“You cheeky bastard!!”
Eight Dragons Guild Guild Leader Cheon Unbi said as he sharpened his teeth.
“How dare you come to us like this?”
The Chinese government issued two orders to the Eight Dragons Guild.
It was to send them to their home country as soon as they got the information, and to recruit Jung-in guild and Jeong In-soo.
Of course, in the latter case, the order was not given with great expectations.
Because Jeong In-soo had already built up his own power in Korea, and Korea could not give up the Jeong-in Guild, the top guild in Korea.
However, regardless of whether the expectations were low or high, Jung In-soo’s behavior was insulting.
Jeong In-soo, who conducted a one-sided meeting, fired only what he had to say like a rapid-fire cannon, as if he was notified.
“Hold on, guild leader. Here is Korea.”
The Eight Dragons Guild has more than 1,000 guild members, including low-level hunters.
If this was China, even Jeong In-soo would not have acted like this.
But this was Korea.
And Jeong In-soo is a person who exerts a huge influence on Korean hunters.
“Once you get what you want, it’s never too late to show the Jailbreak.”
“after. I know.”
Cheon Woon-bi looked at the vice guild leader and said.
“Did you send it to your home country?”
Attack information on a boss monster given to the Eight Dragons Guild after the meeting with Jeong In-soo.
“Yes, I sent it.”
“great.”
The Eight Dragons Guild delivered the data to their home country without any hesitation.
Cheon Woon-bi said with a cold expression.
“For now, be patient. But that moment when all you gain is exhausted. Don’t make me regret that you provoked me.”
* * *
As a result, foreign workers began to work in earnest.
The foreign workers actively attacked the boss with the special equipment they bought from me.
And as a result.
“nice!!”
When all the foreign workers enter the dungeon, one hunter at the monitoring station catches up, so they can’t even sneak it out.
Thanks to this, an incomparable amount of skill stones was poured out compared to when there were only six guilds.
“Five! This is good.”
As the amount increases, so many good skill stones come out.
I smiled and classified the skill seats into three types.
There are three types: good skill stones to give to the Jeongin Guild and its ally Cheonmu Guild, moderately useful skill stones that can be sold back to other guilds at a high price, and garbage with the worst effect that can not be used even if given away.
The ambiguous moment in which the characters on the skill stone are revealed one by one when the strategy information is fully revealed later after collecting it one by one.
Selling Skill Stones makes a huge profit.
“Okay, okay. Just looking at it makes me hungry.”
Also, bringing in foreign workers was the correct answer.
“Will there be more coming?”
If all the countries that are currently negotiating with Korea come in, the amount will increase even more.
By the way, by then, no matter how big the Busan dungeon is, wouldn’t there be a shortage of bosses?
Now, the only thing provided to the guilds is one way to attack a specific boss.
Of the dozens of bosses, you have to pick and catch only a specific boss, but how easy is that?
“Shall we differentially release information as we did for Korean guilds?”
A person who signed a late contract will receive the information later, and a person who received it early will receive more information.
Instead of providing the same boss strategy information to new guilds, we’re giving existing guilds an additional boss strategy.
I thought for a moment, then shook my head and said.
“no. This is not enough.”
When making a worker work, a stick is important, but a carrot is also needed.
“Let’s give extra points to guilds that catch a lot of boss monsters and release the information little by little.”
If that happens, you will be able to select more boss monsters than other guilds, so you will have to work harder.
Besides, there will be competition, so you will be more eager to find the boss.
“Don’t rest, work. I will give you overtime pay.”
