The hides piled up in the warehouse in Dangjin were returned to Korea through Japan and China and imported by companies that entered into agreements with the government.
Of course, in the meantime, the amount of leather collected by the government from all directions is also added, which is an incredible amount.
The government publicized this fact extensively.
He said that he airlifted a large amount of foreign imports to stabilize the market price, and that the price will stabilize soon.
In addition, the government entered into media play in earnest, saying that this incident occurred due to the control of the quantity of some guilds.
Of course, the guilds did not stand still.
Yeom Chang-soo and the guild leaders insisted that they just focused on other items and did not intentionally stop supplying them.
A de facto skirmish between the government and the hunter.
And the result was a draw.
“The price has dropped a lot.”
When the amount of my stock was released in large quantities through the government, the merchants who were locking their items were startled and released the stock, stabilizing the market to some extent.
Of course, since most of the amount released is from the lower dungeon leather, the upper dungeon leather is still controlled by the guilds, but the government has to release the items obtained separately in addition to my own, so the momentum is inevitably dampened.
Still, the price is still much higher than usual, so this match is nothing short of a draw.
And in this battle, the only winner is me.
“Certainly, as the number of hunters increased, the income also jumped several times.”
The kiosk was once my main source of income.
However, as the development of Jeongin grew, the canteen sold at only 10 billion units lost its merits, and it was only used occasionally as a warning to those who recklessly follow me.
“If it’s 60 billion, it’s not bad.”
It made a profit of 60 billion won in just one play.
In the future, these things will happen indefinitely, and if they keep accumulating, you can earn an astronomical amount of income.
Even with clean money.
Then I got a call from Jaejin Lee.
“Oh, Jaejin.”
– This time, it was decided with a metal material.
“metal? Hey, I put precipitation.”
Dungeon metals are the second most useful after crystals.
When these metals were made with existing metals and alloys, they boasted overwhelming strength and were essential materials that were not used anywhere from weapons to daily necessities.
Of course, a huge amount of money will come and go that can’t even be compared with leather.
“okay. I’ll have to collect the metal this time.”
Even so, I have been constantly maintaining a certain amount of metal inventory due to equipment manufacturing.
If the price of metal goes up, the price of equipment will also go up, so take this opportunity to brush it off.
The target, of course, is the government.
Of course, if this repeats, the president’s dissatisfaction with me will accumulate more and more, but he will not be hostile to me in earnest.
Even if I don’t step in, if the price skyrockets anyway, the amount will be locked from the merchants, not me.
From the president’s point of view, it would be rather comforting to know that there is always a quantity that can be controlled even if it costs a little more.
“I like my sister and my brother-in-law. Eat pheasants and eat eggs.”
Of course, all of this is possible because I have built a solid platform called Dangjin Dungeon City.
In addition, if the complex casino of Gangneung Dungeon, which is about to be completed, is completed and attracts overseas hunters, the ripple effect will be stronger.
And this ripple effect will be projected directly into my influence.
“great. Let’s move.”

The government pushes legislation for regulation, and the guilds keep trying to disrupt the market through volume control, and the government and guilds check each other without making any concessions.
However, something strange started to appear in the process.
“The guilds are getting bigger?”
Usually, the top guilds in Korea are the most elite members, and there is a strong tendency to pursue the elite.
That’s right, because one high-level hunter is more powerful than dozens of low-level hunters in terms of income and skills.
If you have a low-level hunter anyway, you can’t even take them into a higher-level dungeon, so there’s no reason to worry about them, and most of all, they thought it would have a negative impact on their elite image.
“Yes, high-ranking guilds are recruiting low-level hunters, mainly the Firebird Guild.”
I thought with a look of interest at the secretary’s words.
‘Did these gigantic guilds form?’
Obviously, lower level hunters are of no help in higher level dungeons.
However, it is different if the conflict with the government is in earnest as it is now.
Even though the items brought by a low-level hunter fell far short of that of a high-level hunter, they could definitely influence the market.
And I have proven it myself.
So it’s called size.
It’s good that lower-level hunters can have a higher-level guild sign, and higher-level guilds can be called lower-level hunters and have greater influence and power.
‘That’s right, it’s completely organized after being called big like this.’
I thought for a while and said.
“How are you recruiting?”
“Once applicants are accepted, they are selected through their own selection process.”
Hue is the goat
Guilds that do not randomly select despite their size.
It must be his pride that he would not hire anyone, no matter how low-level Hunters are.
I muttered with my eyes shining.
“Is it time to start the academy properly?”
Until now, the academy was regarded as a training center for novice hunters and a gateway to obtaining certifications.
I mean, there were a lot of hunters who went to the front line right away after they got the license.
But that’s not the only purpose I created the academy, isn’t it?
“The entrance gate of talent.”
The giant guilds in their previous lives nurtured hunters through their own training system.
We are going to integrate this into one academy.
Rather than cultivating them directly, the academy finds and recruits talent.
It is as if the company measures the level of talent through an educational institution called a university.
In the case of Hunter, there is a clear result of the physical ability test, so it will be easier to identify.
If this becomes completely mainstream, the academy becomes indispensable for hunters.
And I, who owns the academy, will be the biggest beneficiary.
“The problem is that we have to give up some of our talents… .”
Talents that stand out in the academy now are actively recruiting into the Jungin Guild.
Thanks to this, the 2nd Army of the Jungin Guild, which was weak, gradually became more and more elite and was growing smoothly.
Among them, the supply of talent through the academy was successful enough that some Hunters joined the first team with a tremendous growth rate.
However, if the current state is maintained, the academy will be nothing more than the private training facility of the Jeongin Guild, just like the training facilities the giant guilds had in their previous lives.
“It’s fair… .”
Therefore, in order to make the academy public for all guilds, fairness in the competition for talent recruitment is essential.
But should the academy be made public while giving up the advantage of the talent monopoly?
After thinking for a while, I said with a bright eye.
“I have to.”
Talent recruitment is clearly successful.
However, not all talented people grow as expected.
Because there were a lot of hunters in the Jeongin Guild who suddenly stopped growing and became like Gyeryuk.
Also, given the current status of the Jungin Guild, it is obvious that it will have an overwhelming advantage in fair competition.
If the guild alone, who is clumsy, tries to monopolize everything, and the guilds create individual training centers and disperse them as in their previous lives, they may lose their monopoly advantage.
So, I would rather put a sign on fairness and open it up to everyone.
Besides, my goal is not simply to make the Jeongin guild the strongest guild, isn’t it?
The power and influence that encompasses all guilds.
A world where no one can disobey me.
And for that, I need a reason why they have to resist me.
So what makes the academy an irreplaceable essential to providing them with well-trained talent.
For that, I have to give you something to give.
I said raising my phone.
“It would be good to start with the Cheonmu Guild.”
* * *
“after… .”
Joo Yong-seop of the Cheonmu Guild looked at the application form and sighed deeply.
“It’s not easy.”
The size competition was triggered by the Firebird Guild.
When confronted with the government, the guilds realized that the existence of low-level hunters, whom they had only seen lightly, was surprisingly helpful, and were rushing to recruit low-level hunters.
But no one can bring it in.
There is a name value that they have built up in the past.
Of course, there were also guilds that literally brought in anyone and only increased their size, but that just ended up being a mess.
Joo Yong-seop judged that it is much more important to strengthen the guild by selecting a hunter who seems to have growth potential, even for low-level hunters.
So, I started selecting new guild members in earnest… .
“Too many. And there is not enough data.”
taken from noblemt l
Most of the applicants presented their hunting experience and a diploma from the Hunter Academy.
However, the hunting experience is just a hunting experience, and the academy diploma merely proves that this hunter is capable of activities up to a certain level of dungeons.
It was impossible to judge their potential value.
I don’t know if there is any physical test data from Hunter Academy, but it was rejected because it was personal information and academy data.
In the end, applicants have to listen to the test results or process at the academy with their own mouths, but I don’t trust them at all.
Inevitably, the guild members have to stick to themselves and verify their abilities, but it takes too long and the probability of a crash is too high.
“Should we make one like Jeongin Development?”
Chunmu Guild’s own hunter training institute.
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly got a phone call from Jung In-soo.
“Yes, CEO Jung.”
– Master guild, how are you these days?
“I am a little busy. To recruit new guild members.”
-Five! If not, that’s why I called you, but it’s fine.
“What… .”
-Why didn’t you contact me first when you were recruiting new guild members? You know I’m running the academy.
“Academy?”
-Yes. Would you like to come and have a briefing session soon? Then we will provide test data only to Cheonmu Guild applicants.
Then Joo Yong-seop opened his eyes and said.
“Are you providing data?”
Isn’t that the best proposal that can solve all the problems the Cheonmu Guild is currently experiencing at once?
-That’s right. Because I can’t just sit and watch the alliance guilds get dumbfounded. Instead, the Jeongin Guild was not in the mood for hunting or giving special lectures, but if the main guild leader conducts special lectures a few times, it will be of great help. If it is a special lecture from a top-notch hunter like the head of the main guild, students will also be welcome.
Not only is it not enough to receive data, but also a special lecture opportunity to directly check their abilities.
In fact, isn’t it just a spoonful to the academy where everything is already completed?
“I’ll do it.”
It’s stupid to say no to this.
There is no need to recruit directly, and why not just pick up applicants from places where data has already been accumulated?
-okay? Then catch me and come back soon. I’ll tell you.
* * *
Regardless of the course, hundreds of students gathered in the auditorium at the word that the Cheonmu Guild’s Joo Yong-seop was coming.
“Our Cheonmu Guild is currently one of the leading guilds in Korea and is at the forefront of dungeon attack. Of course, in terms of skills, we are not pushed by any other guild. In addition, the Cheonmu Guild is a transparent… .”
Joo Yong-seop continues to explain the vision and future of the Cheonmu Guild.
It was a scene reminiscent of a company briefing session except that Joo Yong-seop and the students in the auditorium were hunters.
I looked at it and said with a smile.
“Good.”
Currently, the system has not yet fully settled, so this format was inevitably taken.
From then on, instead of accepting applicants as they do now, the guilds will be direct love calls to the elites.
It is a natural picture that the upper guild concentrates on recruiting elites, and the lower guilds focus on recruiting lower-level hunters.
And at the top of that, there will be the Jeongin Guild.
In addition, they established their own academic relationship by operating the elite class that is currently being piloted in earnest.
All guilds continue to produce Academy Elite Course graduates.
Joo Yong-seop, who finished the explanation at that time, said.
“So our guild is looking for hunters who will grow together with us, not just expansion. You will never regret it. Come with us.”
At Joo Yong-seop’s words, the students began to gossip.
“Isn’t it okay if I join the Cheonmu Guild?”
“Fine? Your eyes are too high because you only see the guild you love every day? Do you think you could have gotten a recruitment offer from the guild leader of Cheonmu Guild here or somewhere?”
Positive student responses.
“Anyway, the guild that is close to my level sucks, so should I try to apply?”
* * *
The presentation was a success.
Since it was the first briefing session and the name of the Cheonmu Guild was worthwhile, many students applied to the Cheonmu Guild.
And Joo Yong-seop, who was provided with data about them, was satisfied.
“I’m going to pick 10 people like this.”
Elite talents, all showing high growth.
Among them, there were hunters who were personally keeping an eye on one or two of them, but… .
“They are all good people.”
It’s a law that should cut off a good start.
For now, I’ll just skip it this time.
Instead, once the system is fully established, we should induce a full-fledged recruitment competition regardless of alliance guilds.
“Are you satisfied?”
“of course. Thanks to the high quality of the applicants and the accumulated data, the selection process was incomparably easier.”
The number of academy students maintaining the level of hundreds of students on average because there are many hunters who just complete the course they want and leave.
Therefore, regardless of the course, everyone attends the briefing session, but once the system is established in earnest and the number of students increases, from then on, it operates like a real school.
The academy produces graduates, and the guilds pick those graduates.
Then I got a call from someone on my cell phone.
“Well? Guild leader Yeom Chang-soo?”
Then Joo Yong-seop, a rival, said with a firm expression.
“Is this the guild chief’s phone call?”
“Yes, excuse me for a second.”
I picked up my phone and pressed the call button.
“Yes, Guild Master Yeom.”
-CEO Jung, I heard that Joo Yong-seop allowed me to hold a briefing session at the academy. Is that correct?
I glanced at Joo Yong-seop and said.
“you’re right.”
– This is a little embarrassing. I thought we weren’t normal.
What if it’s not normal?
anyway what
I know what the job is.
-Can we visit the Phoenix Guild once?
“Well… .”
Consideration for the alliance guild is enough for the first briefing.
In order to make it public, all guilds must be accommodated regardless of peers.
“There is no reason for me to refuse when an outstanding guild like the Firebird Guild will provide opportunities to students. I will set a date for you.”
– Really? I put this on for an hour. Even if it wasn’t, I was rotting my head because of getting new recruits, haha.
“no. I’m glad it was helpful.”
After finishing the call, Joo Yong-seop got up from his seat and said.
“I’ll just go.”
“Are you going already? Have a meal and go.”
“I think we need to hurry up the contract, so it is.”
Joo Yong-seop wants to finish the contract in a hurry after Yeom Chang-soo’s sudden appearance.
Competition is good.
Fierce competition is the driving force behind development.
Even the competition takes place on the platform I made, can it be better than this?
In the end, the fiercer the competition between them, the more I benefit.
I said with a smile.
“That’s right.”
The Academy started off smoothly with the Firebird Guild and the Cheonmu Guild.
