The director of the Central Hunter Bureau of China was amazed at the contents of the meeting he had heard from the Chinese ambassador to Korea.
“The relationship of trust has been broken, so you’re going to replace it with another guild?!”
There were several secret guilds in China, but the Eight Dragons Guild was a group that the Hunter Guild made especially hard.
The most elite guild composed only of talented people with the best skills and who have completed ideological verification.
But you’re going to drive the Eight Dragons guild out.
“So, which guild did Insoo Jung choose?”
“that… that is… .”
A subordinate said, biting his lip.
“This is the Hwacheon Guild.”
“Hwacheon Guild? Hwacheon Guild for a second… .”
The chief was shocked and said.
“Maybe that Hwacheon Guild?”
“… Yes.”
The chief slammed the table and said.
“shit. Why the hell are these guys?!”
The emergence of beings with phenomenal powers called Hunters.
This was both a blessing and a curse to the world.
Especially for China, which has been controlling its people forcibly.
It was too obvious that an existence with powerful force would pose a great threat to the existing powerful.
Therefore, China has been conducting an investigation into each of them while implementing a policy of encouraging hunters on the surface.
Especially for top-level guilds and hunters.
Among them, the Hwacheon Guild was one of the subjects of attention that the director recognized as soon as he heard it.
“The reactionary bastards… .”
When the first dungeon attack was started, the government monopolized all the by-products. Eventually, a boycott movement like Korea took place and opened it up to the public. One of the guilds that led the boycott movement was the Hwacheon Guild.
After that, the Hwacheon Guild was completely out of sight of the Chinese government, criticizing the government’s Daehunter policy in private, although not openly opposed to it.
Would you like to invite such a reactionary guild to Korea?
“no way!”
They are the ones who put their own interests ahead of the national interests and boycotted them, and there is no way they can follow the government’s instructions and steal information as quietly as the Eight Dragons.
“I’d rather not send anyone if they didn’t send them. They can’t!”
China accepted Korea’s proposal not because it was not confident enough to attack the boss, but to minimize damage.
The problem with boss attacks is that you can’t know their special skills or characteristics until you directly face them.
In China, there were about 100 top-level guilds that could challenge the boss with an overwhelming population, but how many hunters would die in the process?
Now, the key force and vanguard of the dungeon industry, which is slowly becoming the mainstream, are the guild members of this top-level guild, and the death of these people inevitably leads to a decrease in national competitiveness.
So, even if it takes some time, I chose the safe road of Korea, but when things go like this, the story is different.
“But what happened to the fake skill stone?”
“That’s fine with me… .”
“I thought Jung In-soo was doing a self-made play to kick out the Chinese guild… .”
He said it wasn’t the Eight Dragons Guild, so if there was any possibility, it was Jeong In-soo’s own play.
But suddenly, if it was a guild other than the Eight Dragons Guild, it came out saying that it would be fine.
The fact that the Eight Dragons Guild is a secret guild in China is one of the secrets known only to the high-ranking officers of the Hunter Bureau and the top government officials.
Since only one dungeon businessman can’t find out about this secret, it is concluded that it is not a self-made play due to vague hate for China.
“Maybe it is because of that. Recently, a hunter has not posted information on social media.”
The chief said with a frown.
“That idiot… .”
The exact method of attack was not disclosed, but the hunter posted a photo stating that his guild succeeded in attacking the boss.
Thanks, I had a hard time fixing this.
“You suspected that it was an information leak, so you made your own play? So you want to replace it with another guild?”
“I think there are plenty of possibilities.”
“Well… It makes sense.”
If so, there is a way.
The important thing for Jeong In-soo right now is that it was an alternative guild other than the Eight Dragons Guild.
“Contact the ambassador and ask him to recommend a guild for our side.”
“What if I strongly insist on the Hwacheon Guild?”
“Is that possible? No one knows we’re running a secret guild. For example, the Korean government also accepted the Eight Dragons Guild.”
The director’s rational judgment that if the Korean government had known that the Eight Dragons Guild was a government-affiliated guild, the proposal would not have been accepted.
“For Jeong In-soo, there is no difference between the Hwacheon Guild and our other guilds. So, proceed in the direction of selecting the recommended guild.”
* * *
“Hmm.”
A Chinese ambassador suddenly came to me and presented a list of recommended guilds.
“How is it?”
The Chinese ambassador probably doesn’t know because I’m managing my facial expressions.
how excited i am right now
‘You mean all these guilds belong to the Chinese government?’
To be honest, how do I remember all guilds belonging to foreign governments?
All I remember is the strongest guild among them, the Eight Dragons and some guilds.
‘If I do this a few more times, I’ll bring a list of guilds belonging to China and donate it?’
Information is money and power.
China’s secret guild list?
There are customers all over the world who might want this.
Not only the United States, but also guilds with anti-government tendencies, etc.
Of course, I have no intention of selling this right away.
But it’s perfect for later use as a negotiating weapon.
I said with a sullen look.
“Why do you recommend these guilds?”
“First of all, I want to say that they are a proven guild that has good skills and will not cause any problems when they come to Korea.”
The verification will be a verification of your thoughts.
“For now, I will consider it.”
* * *
I took the time to receive the list, and I grabbed various pods and started to refuse.
This guild has a small number of people, this guild lacks skill verification, etc.
In fact, it is not wrong to say that the Eight Dragons, the strongest of the secret guilds of the Chinese government, have been defeated, so the rest of the guilds have no choice but to fall one step further.
I rejected all the guilds that the Chinese ambassador gave me.
I said with a smirk.
“You mean these are all Chinese secret guilds?”
Four top-tier guilds comparable to the Eight Dragons Guild and other trifles.
Still, the Chinese are Chinese, and while the Korean government is complaining about not being able to recruit hunters, they have several top-level guilds.
Is this the power of a government with absolute power?
it’s great it’s great
“By the way, it’s been quiet since your last offer.”
Perhaps because there is no guild to present as an alternative now?
There is only one way the Chinese government can do it now.
I’m just re-suggesting what I’ve pointed out.
Reinforcing quality and quantity through consolidation.
Anyway, if there is no alternative guild now, there is no need to look at the Chinese government any more.
I said with a smile.
“ruler. Then, shall we move slowly?”
* * *
The Hwacheon Guild was a large guild with only 700 guild members.
Among them, there are about 100 top-level hunters, making it one of the top guilds in China in name and reality.
The guild leader of the Hwacheon Guild was always dissatisfied with the government.
The high tax rate imposed only on hunters, as well as various other regulations.
Before I woke up, I would have accepted and lived in such a world, but now that I have the power, my thoughts have completely changed.
“Why the hell was the Eight Dragons Guild chosen?”
In particular, the fact that the Eight Dragons Guild was selected in the selection of a guild invited by Korea recently heightened Son Wi-jin’s dissatisfaction.
If you get boss information from Korea, you can use it as a weapon to get a lot of concessions from other guilds and become one of the top guilds in China.
However, it was the Eight Dragons Guild that was ultimately chosen in such a selection battle.
Eight Dragons Guild?
Obviously, a top-level guild is a top-level guild.
However, the Hwacheon Guild is also definitely lacking compared to that, or rather, it is stronger than that, but they are rejected.
It would be nice to know the reason, but the Chinese government did not disclose the reason, so the Eight Dragons Guild left for Korea.
“Why? It’s because we protest and don’t listen to the government.”
Son Wi-jin raised an impression at the deputy chief’s words and said.
“shit.”
“Besides, did you just quietly let it go because it was called the Eight Dragons Guild? Look, mana, this and that, I will do all kinds of interference. We just want to do our own thing.”
The deputy chief said with a bitter smile.
“Even if the Eight Dragons guild gets information, the government can’t wait to give information to a guild that looks like us who hate it.”
“ha. I’m annoyed.”
Son Wi-jin said as he raised the papers.
“Should I try again? .”
So far, the Hwacheon Guild has successfully attacked two types of boss monsters.
However, in the process, the Hwacheon Guild had no choice but to lose many of its companions, whom it had been with since the early days.
The sub-guild chief shook his head and said.
“I am the opposite. Let’s pick and catch only those who succeeded in attacking and develop their skills first.”
“… That would be right.”
It is natural that it is much safer and faster to select and catch only the boss monsters that you have already acquired information about.
Therefore, most guilds, including the Hwacheon Guild, were operating by selecting and catching only the boss monsters while thoroughly hiding the strategy information after successfully attacking one or two types of bosses.
“How is the skill stone research going?”
“Once I specified the two letters.”
The deputy chief pointed his finger upwards and said.
“With reinforcement.”
The vice guild chief lowered his finger again and said.
“weakening.”
Reinforcement and Weakness, which are the letters that appear the most in passive skill stones.
“Five! already?”
“By the way, these two letters were repeated the most in the skill seat, so I could roughly guess. but… .”
“but?”
“The problem is that we still don’t know which of these two letters is strengthening or weakening.”
He knew that the two letters meant strengthening and weakening, but he did not know which of the two letters was strengthening or weakening.
Son Wi-jin said with a disappointed expression at the words of the deputy guild leader.
“what. It is still far away.”
“Then what? Did you think you’d be able to spot it right away after a few tests? It should be said that it is the skill stone we have collected so far.”
As they conducted research only with the skill stones they had collected, the research speed was of course slow.
The key to character interpretation is to compare and contrast large numbers of samples, and this large number of samples becomes a stumbling block.
Because none of the guilds were selling skill stones to the outside world.
But there was one exception.
It was the true guild of Korea.
“I don’t know, but Korea will lead the way in the field of skill seats. Because one group monopolizes the largest number of samples, the research speed will increase exponentially.”
“It would have been much faster if the guilds worked together to study… .”
“It is. Shall we go ahead with it?”
Son Weijin thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
“I wonder if those greedy bastards are willing to vomit what they have, but it’s worth a try. Ha, it would have been much easier if we went to Korea.”
Coalition is difficult because the interests of each are conflicting.
In a situation where each person’s information and the number of skill stones are all different, on what basis can a fair research be conducted?
Then, what if the character was interpreted through research and a good skill stone was found?
Even at this point, my back hurts.
Whether the skill stone is owned by the guild that acquired it or whether it belongs to the whole alliance will become a conflict again.
However, if the Hwacheon Guild goes to Korea and acquires a large amount of information, the story is different.
Using the overwhelming amount of information as a weapon, rather than a horizontal relationship, it is possible to forcibly close any conflicts as a field of association.
“Let’s stop talking about it. It’s already over.”
But then the Hwacheon Guild office staff knocked and said,
“Guild leader, I got a call from Korea and he said it was Jeong In-soo, the CEO of Jeong-in Development.”
At that, Son Wei-jin raised his head and shouted.
“What?! Jung In-soo? Development of Jeong-in?”
“Yes. I want to change my phone, what do I do? .”
“Turn it back now! right now!”
Son Wi-jin quickly picked up the office phone.
“This is Wijin Son from the Hwacheon Guild.”
-Nice to meet you. I am the interpreter for Insoo Jung. It is no different, but CEO Jung said he would like to invite the Hwacheon Guild to Korea, so I contacted him.
Son Weijin said with wide eyes.
“korea? invitation? no way… .”
-Yes. You are thinking of the Hwacheon Guild as a partner to follow in the footsteps of the Eight Dragons Guild.
“Eight dragons… What do you mean by succeeding in the guild?”
-ah. So what happened… .
* * *
A new guild was chosen as the mutual trust was broken due to suspicions that the Eight Dragons guild used fake skill stones to steal the skill stones, and the target was the Hwacheon Guild.
The interpreter, who heard Wi-Jin Son’s story, said:
“I will definitely do it. They say they will never do such tricks and promise to ensure thorough security.”
That’s right.
If it comes, it is unconditional profit, but who would refuse this?
“Then please tell me. But there is one problem. I chose the Hwacheon Guild, but the Chinese government keeps recommending the wrong guilds, so my position is quite embarrassing.”
“All right.”
As the interpreter delivered the story, Sohn Wi-jin’s voice began to resonate.
“What do you mean?”
“Well… I’m not swearing directly, I’m just saying damn, damn it.”
and how long has it been
When Son Wei-jin said something, the interpreter said:
“The government says there are several reasons for doing so.”
I said with my eyes shining.
“Putting on… have?”
Now things are pretty much settled.
The Chinese government already sees the Hwacheon Guild as a target of concern, and the Hwacheon Guild is also aware of that fact to some extent.
Then, if you pump the Hwacheon Guild a little, from now on, the two of you will fight and I will just watch from behind.
“I liked the Hwacheon Guild and wanted to invite him to Korea. However, the Chinese government is lukewarm and the Hwacheon Guild has some advice, so both sides have to come to an agreement. If that’s resolved, please tell me that you’ll invite me right away.”
The interpreter talked with Son Wi-jin and said,
“They say they will figure it out and they will do the rest.”
“like. End the call.”
“Yes.”
The call with Son Wi-jin ended like that.
It doesn’t matter if China finally refuses, or even if the Hwacheon Guild finally reaches an agreement through a deal with the Chinese government.
Through this work, it is possible to instill pressure on overseas guilds that they may be replaced if an accident occurs.
The Hwacheon Guild won’t be able to leak information recklessly so as not to miss the opportunity that has come.
Now, foreign workers will be more alert and work harder.
Also, if there is violence outside, it may be replaced, so I will use the stadium more and more.
“I’ll just leave.”
“Yes. Come in.”
So I sent the interpreter back and said with a smile.
“ruler. Then China was settled.”
The plate is fully woven.
So now it’s your turn to make money.
“Do you want to make a lot of money?”
