The national competition finally opened.
When I went down to the waiting room of the underground stadium, the British guild was sitting with a stiff expression.
“Are you ready?”
At my words, the British guild chief came up to me and said something, and the interpreter started to interpret it.
“From the moment I came down, I knew it was unusual, but what is this facility and who is that audience?”
“Ahh.”
I waved my hand like it was nothing.
“This facility is a stadium that I made for the actual practice between the Jeongin Guild and the Korean Guild. And they are precious spectators who will watch your showdown. People with heavy mouths and videos are prohibited, so you don’t have to worry.”
It’s impossible to shut the mouths of all those people.
Perhaps the results of this match will spread implicitly around the upper classes.
But what does that matter?
What is important to them is the cause of keeping their pride relatively safely and as quietly as possible.
I said with a smile.
“Anyway, I wish you victory.”
There is no point in explaining them at length.
As long as you’ve come this far anyway, giving up on the game means losing.
After giving such encouragement and leaving the waiting room, a hunter in charge of today’s match came up to me and said,
“What level do you want the game to be?”
Normally, the level of competition in the underground stadium was virtually unlimited.
It’s a stadium built to burn the inherent desire for violence of the upper class, but shouldn’t we have to do that?
If it was an ordinary game, I wouldn’t have done it so secretly in the first place.
It was not uncommon for blood to splatter, and broken limbs were not uncommon.
Of course, if you win that much, you are guaranteed a level of profit that is different from hunting, so you are working as a player.
Anyway, normally, their games will order the same level, but… .
“Moderately. Minimize injuries.”
After all, the fact that there is a big match between England and France is enough to attract people’s attention.
The players themselves are most concerned about their injuries, but there is no reason to antagonize them by overplaying the game.

Moreover, as many countries will enter this stadium in the future, it is necessary to create an environment where they can enter with confidence.
“All right.”
* * *
“Long wait!!”
The narrator of the underground arena shouted loudly.
“Today’s protagonist will appear!!”
The narrator pointed to the door on the left and said.
“With the Lions Guild of England!!!”
The door opened and the Lion Guild appeared.
This time, the narrator pointed to the door on the right and said:
“The Jean-Claude Guild of France!”
So, the two guilds, the main characters of the day, finally appeared.
“There will be a total of 20 players, 10 on each side! players! Come on up to the game!”
The two guilds with hardened faces went up to the playing field and started to confront each other.
The narrator raised his hand high as everyone watched them with excitement.
“ruler! game!”
And he shouted as he lowered his hands vigorously.
“Start!”
* * *
Joo Yong-seop, the guild leader of the Cheonmu Guild, visited the stadium after hearing the news that the national match between Britain and France was being held.
“Hmm… .”
As time passes, new boss monsters are gradually being released one by one, but guilds from new countries continued to flow in.
In other words, a certain degree of competition is continuously maintained.
In addition, the pride of being the representative guild of each country and the time to attack.
Their conflict was foreordained.
“Is it my guess that CEO Jung designed everything?”.
Not only did they receive more types of boss data than them, but they didn’t even check the attack time, so the Cheonmu Guild was able to be free in that niche.
And that means that if Jeong In-soo does not take care of the Cheonmu Guild, he may be in the same situation as them.
The world was definitely changing with the advent of dungeons and hunters.
And the subject of that change is the Hunter.
The world is gradually entering a new era as the hunters come out with items from the dungeon.
However, I have a strong feeling that it is Jeong In-soo who is making such a change.
It is said that one individual created a planned city only for hunters and raised and placed these floor merchants, and now it is exerting influence even on high-ranking officials in the political and financial circles.
Joo Yong-seop raised his head and looked at the enthusiastic audience.
“… The number of spectators has increased.”
The audience grew more than when they played the game for a real experience.
Among them, Joo Yong-seop and familiar celebrities were also included.
Everyone is famous in the political and financial world or in a specific field.
They just make friends and enjoy the game, but in the end, they too cannot be free from the influence of Jeong In-soo, who created and hosted this stadium.
“Great people are great people.”
He has a lot of wealth, but honestly, he doesn’t compare himself to the chaebol.
On the other hand, the influence that has taken root in various parts of society is truly absurd.
And the influence will become stronger as the number of hunters increases and the strength of the hunter becomes stronger.
In other words, as the hunters grow, Jeong In-soo, who conceived the change, will also benefit.
Hunters and Jung In-soo have already become inseparable.
“Ugh!!”
One of the guild members of the British guild was attacked and fell off the playing field.
“Disqualified!”
The British guild members protested against the referee’s knife-like shout, but the game continued.
At that time, the sound of people talking next to Joo Yong-seop.
“Today is a bit like a knife. Usually, there were many games without disqualification.”
Then the man who seemed to be a friend said:
“okay?”
“uh.”
“I came here for the first time today. Just looking at this now is so much fun.”
“It’s not like that. Where else would you go to see the guild battles of top guilds abroad? You know it’s all thanks to me, right?”
Perhaps this friend invited a friend next door.
“You know, you know. I’ve been wanting to come here ever since.”
And then.
thud!!!
The guild leaders of both guilds began to face each other on the playing field.
“It’s a great battle!”
The spectators began to focus on the game again.
Looking at the audience, Joo Yong-seop said.
“The audience, the players, and the system. At least, as far as I know, there is no substitute for this stadium.”
Is there anyone else in Korea who can run a stadium like this other than Jeong In-soo?
To this question, Joo Yong-seop could speak firmly.
No.
This underground arena is absolutely impossible to establish unless you have the influence over the Hunters and the connections in the political and financial circles.
How many hunters want to be a place to play in front of others?
Even a newly awakened hunter is overflowing with pride as a hunter himself.
Now that it is money, there are fans who send support, and as it becomes more and more sports, the hunters themselves claim to be athletes.
“… He’s someone I don’t really want to turn into an enemy.”
Those who do not want to be turned into enemies should be turned into allies.
Joo Yong-seop, convinced that it was a good decision to hold hands with Jung In-soo once again, stood up and said,
“About this. Let’s go back.”
Joo Yong-seop visited the stadium today to understand the level of British and French hunters.
And the conclusion he came to was that he was no different from what he was before coming to this arena.
Kids who fight only by believing in a strong body without proper fighting skills.
Of course, with this match, he may realize the importance of technology and devote himself to it like himself.
So, before the gap closes, we need to push further.
In order not to be eliminated and to stand above others.
* * *
The match ended successfully.
Existing VIPs expressed some dissatisfaction with the boring game rules, but they were satisfied with seeing the Hunter National Competition in front of their eyes.
The winner of the match is France.
Thanks to this, the French VIPs who invited them to the VIP network were enthusiastic, and the British VIPs vomited their anger.
Well, there are only a few people, but in the first place, in everything, the beginning is important.
Now, starting with them, rumors will spread abroad little by little.
And as the number of overseas VIPs increases, the status of the stadium will rise and my influence will grow stronger.
Anyway, the British Guild, who lost the match, protested.
He said it was because he wasn’t the most elite, and he declared to France to have a revenge match.
France was proud of it and accepted it.
Now, if other countries participate in the war, there will be no shortage of things to see while the guilds are in Korea.
“I’ve never had a game like this in my previous life.”
In previous lives, Hunters did advance to martial arts such as boxing.
In fact, it has become quite popular.
But, arguably, many-to-many or many-to-individual fights in the underground arena.
Also, there was no game with unlimited rules that spattered blood.
Only foreign guilds were exceptionally strict with rules to prevent injuries, but other than that, it was practically just a horse race, and it was like a real fight.
Being able to see such a real fight in person is a special thing that only this underground arena has.
And this uniqueness attracts the upper class to this place.
“Now, who is the next batter?”
India or Pakistan?
China or Japan?
Any country is fine.
The more matches, the better.
At that moment, with a smile like that, I was thinking about the next batter.
“Well?”
Come to think of it, is it really necessary to weave only the countries that are hostile to each other?
The reason guilds choose the stadium now is because of their pride.
The pride of never going back.
If that’s the case, I think it’ll take care of itself if I just lay a plate here, right?
“Huh?”
If I intervene in a trivial dispute and turn it into a game, wouldn’t it be accepted because of my pride?
It goes without saying that fighting is the best way to go.
What is there to be hesitant about when the government has also tolerated it?
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“okay. Let’s start a serious fight.”
* * *
“Do not block the road in front, get out of the way!”
At the words of the Brazilian Guild, the Argentine Guild opened its eyes and said.
“What? Move?”
A very minor dispute between the two guilds.
It was light enough to pass through.
taken from noblemt l
Minor quarrels like this have always happened.
In fact, neither side had any intention of turning this into a fight.
Therefore, the reaction of guilds from other countries who knew about it was also bittersweet.
“It’s a start again.”
“It was a hot fight like England and France.”
However, at this time, a guild member of the Jeongin guild suddenly intervened.
“Calm down. Fighting here can be a threat to the general public. So how about making a reservation for the stadium?”
Then the two guild leaders panicked.
‘No, you don’t want to fight?’
‘You were just arguing a little!’
But that doesn’t mean I can’t express this.
“Uh… .”
When the Brazilian guildmaster hesitated, the Argentine guild leader shouted.
“We don’t care!”
The Argentine guild leader pretended to be ambitious because of his pride, but in fact passed the choice over to the Brazilian guild leader.
In this situation, how can the Brazilian guild leader back down?
“We don’t care!”
It doesn’t matter if you do or not
If you really want to mediate, dry it properly here.
However, that was not the purpose of Jeong In-soo in the first place.
Hue is the goat
Guild member Jeong-in, who was given instructions, nodded and said.
“You both accepted it. good. I’ll set a date for you.”
In fact, the match was concluded unexpectedly even though neither side had any intention to fight.
In this way, the underground stadium was gradually transformed into a global arena.
* * *
We bring the arena as a solution to all conflicts that can interfere with guilds as well as individual disputes as a guild.
Thanks to this, a national competition that is held every day.
The stadium is good, but in the end, the most important thing is the skill seat, so reservations are overflowing even though there is a rule that a rematch can be played after at least 10 days with an opponent who has played once.
Thanks to this, the stadium has reached a level where VIPs can watch the game at any time.
Of course, as the number of matches increased, the amount of bets also increased, resulting in quite a bit of income.
Since the stadium was created for influence in the first place, income is only an additional factor, but it is good if you make money.
However, inducing conflict in this way has an unexpected effect.
“… Did it really make you dry?”
Traditional rivalries such as England, France, India, and Pakistan played really fiercely, but guilds from other countries that did not have a direct relationship with each other brought them to the arena and had a match even if there was a minor dispute. did.
Somehow, I became a real mediator.
“Are these buying the body?”
When we build our pride by saying we’re good at each other, we always avoid putting real plates on each other.
I said with a smirk.
“Well, it’s not as bad as this again.”
Even if it’s not like that guild anyway, there are quite a few countries that have a real antagonism.
If this happens, stop yelling at the chief of staff saying that it is an effect from the stadium.
See it.
He said that when I did what I was told, everyone became quiet.
Anyway, it’s pretty straightforward in many ways.
I said looking at the match list.
“Let’s see. In four days, China and Japan will join.”
The two countries that I thought would be the first to play, but surprisingly, the match was caught very late.
Frankly, personally, I was predicting Japan’s victory.
Of course, the Yamato Guild rose to that spot with pure skills, but it is not the Chinese Eight Dragons Guild.
In order to be selected for the Eight Dragons Guild, not only have skills but also loyalty and belief in the government must be supported.
Of course, the number of hunters who meet all these conditions is bound to be small, and inevitably, even if their skills are a little lower, if their loyalty and belief are certain, they will be selected.
And to fill that gap, it must have gone through a lot of work, from equipment to driving dungeons.
Perhaps being dispatched to Korea was also part of such work?
A task to make it superior to other guilds.
“Anyway, I decided to watch the matches in China and Japan… What else should I do?”
That’s when I was going to continue working like that.
“CEO!”
Secretary Kim said knocking on the office door.
“Did you see this news?”
“news? Come in and talk.”
Then Secretary Kim comes into the office and hands me a cell phone.
“China… ?”
The content of the article was simple.
That is, the Baobao Guild, one of the guilds in China, succeeded in attacking the boss, but one of the guild members disclosed the fact to SNS without permission.
However, the problem is that the boss they attacked is one of the boss monsters that I have provided strategy information to to overseas guilds.
okay.
you might have caught
To be honest, how many Chinese hunters are there, but how many bosses can’t you catch if you push through at the expense of the victims?
In Korea, there are only six top-level guilds that can attack D-class dungeon bosses, but estimating from the difference in population, the number of guilds in China exceeds dozens and reaches 100.
A guild that found a strategy for one or two types of boss monsters, regardless of whether there were victims or whatever method was used?
there will be unconditional
But like the Black Mamba, he just hides that fact.
The Chinese government accepted my proposal not because they were not confident enough to attack the boss, but because they wanted to get information safely without losing any more valuable pro-government hunters.
Anyway, the attack itself is not a problem.
The problem is this Baobao Guild itself.
“These cubs… .”
The Baobao Guild is a secret guild of the Chinese government like the Eight Dragons Guild, which has been on the side of the government in a previous life along with the Eight Dragons Guild.
“I knew you were going to steal it, but it’s too fast, isn’t it?”
Currently, there are 4 types of boss monsters revealed to overseas guilds.
Although there is a difference depending on the performance, on average, they were released one by one every week to 10 days.
Naturally, according to the degree to which guilds from new countries enter, we are releasing them sequentially so that the competition is as fierce as possible.
Anyway, this information leaked through the Eight Dragons Guild.
“There is no official position for the Baobao Guild, and the SNS is down?”
From the looks of it, it seems like he was trying to keep security, but I thought it was leaked without permission by a guild member like an idiot.
The problem is that if you remain silent like this, there will be no evidence and you will not be able to expel the Eight Dragons Guild.
“Hmm… .”
I expected it to be like this, but when I actually did it, I felt bad.
I pondered for a moment, then said with my eyes wide open.
“It doesn’t have to be tied to an information leak, right?”
Just like I tried to provoke them on the first meeting and kick them out right away, I’m kicking them out for other reasons.
Of course, China will object.
But that’s for the government to do, not mine.
However, an idea suddenly came to mind.
“Well? Wait, this can make China shut its mouth. At the same time, I can also make the Korean government indebted.”
I snapped my fingers and said.
“This is it.”
