A fishing boat moving leisurely along the moonlight reflected in the sea.
There were several men on the fishing boat, looking all around with tense expressions.
Then a man said
“Captain.”
The man called the captain answered with a nervous expression.
“why.”
“Captain… Is this really okay? I saw earlier that there were only a lot of boxes in the tank… .”
Said the captain with a firm expression on his face.
“Quiet. Don’t you want to make money? It’s not normal to give them enough money, of course.”
“That, that… .”
“I don’t even know what it is. I didn’t even tell you.”
“If it’s a drug or something… .”
“Then you should know more!”
The captain whispered to the man.
“That way, even if something happens later, it won’t end with just carrying around! We did what we were told without knowing what it was!”
Then the man nodded his head with a persuasive expression.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Said the captain, looking at the three masked men quietly standing in the middle of the fishing boat.
“Just do what they say. okay?”
“All right.”
How much time has passed
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a light flashes three times in a row.
Said one of the men in the mask who saw it.
“Go. There.”
The captain quietly answered the man’s words.
“Yes, yes!”
The fishing boat headed to the place where the light was shining like that.
And there stood a single boat with all the lights turned off, just like the fishing boats they were on.
But at that moment.
Boo-woong!
With the sound of ripping the wind, someone jumped up from the opposing boat and landed on their fishing boat.
“Hey, Hunter!”
The movement was unbelievable for a human being, and both the captain and the crew had an intuition that he was a hunter.
The man with yellow hair and white skin spoke in Russian.
– What?
Then one of the men wearing the mask answered in Russian.
– on the tank.
– Can I check it?
-of course.
A Russian hunter who entered the tank like that.
In the meantime, the fishing boat that continued to approach the other side came to a complete stop until it reached complete distance.
“Ugh.”
At a glance, the other side’s boat was riddled with a dozen men with harsh expressions.
The Russian Hunter, who had entered the tank, came out and said, while the captain and crew were trembling with fear.
-Confirmed. stuff is good
-Of course.
– Shall we shake hands to commemorate the first deal?
Two people holding hands like that.
However, the two of them are holding hands and standing still like a mangbu-seok.
“What are you doing?”
“I don’t know. Don’t ask me.”
But then.
– ね!!
The Russian Hunter said with a groan.
– Stop it! lost!
At that moment, the man in the mask freed the hands of the Russian hunter.
The Russian Hunter said with an interesting expression.
– Hey, there were some really great people behind this, right? I’m guessing this is level 4?
Then the man in the mask answered.
– It’s the first time, so I’ll skip it, but if I’m rude again, I’ll make the deal a no-brainer.
At a glance, it looks like a Russian hunter has been pushed back in a grip battle.
“Hey, this one is also a Hunter.”
It is also a level hunter that looks one step higher than the other hunter.
It was then that the captain and sailors relaxed a little.
-Sorry. I was just joking around. Apologize for what you just did.
– Money?
The Russian hunter beckons, and the person on the other side of the ship throws several bags.
The Russian hunter who received it handed it to the man in the mask and said.
-check it. Because it was all in dollars.
The man in the mask, who opened the bags and checked the amount, nodded and said.
-Okay, no deal.

‘Whoa.’
Kim Jin-goo was a hunter who started a coup with Jang Pan-ho and defected to South Korea with Jang Pan-ho.
‘Wait a minute. I’m going to the rescue.’
Every evening, I remember the comrades who lost their lives one by one and were captured with the palace in front of them.
Then a Russian hunter spoke to me.
– Is it possible to order additional quantities?
According to Jang Pan-ho, Kim Jin-goo joined an unknown organization called Heukho.
At first, they are sad that they have to borrow the power of an organization that does not know this reality, but as time goes by, expectations arise.
-of course.
It is taking root in various parts of South Korea, as well as exchanging countless transactions with foreign guilds and powers.
If they were frogs in a well that only existed in North Korea, the Black Tiger was a world first aid organization.
– Next time, I’ll ask for 300kg as an entry-level model.
A Russian hunter who without hesitation orders close to 20 billion Korean won.
This is enough for the amount that he and his comrades have entrusted to him.
How many transactions were not assigned to the Panho organization, and it was impossible to even fathom how huge and great the Black Tiger organization in charge of such transactions was.
If you can help these people, it will definitely be of great help.
So I desperately need help.
They must prove their worth of use to complete the revolution.
-i get it.
-great! At this price, you’re saying it’s much more convenient to just buy and sell? We ask well. masked man.
At that time, the Russian Hunter said with a look of regret.
-right. Did you ask to rescue someone from there?
‘… Person?’
– He was right there on our side. So I brought it. It’s an apology for the rudeness I had earlier and a gift to say goodbye to the future.
As the Russian hunter applauds, the men on the other side bring an Asian tied up from somewhere on the boat.
By the way.
“Put this down!!”
The emergence of Asians with a North Korean dialect.
Kim Jin-goo’s pupils shake.
– There was one on our side. know? The coup that took place in North Korea. I’m one of those participants.
‘comrade… !?’
Russian hunters with one of their comrades who escaped through China and Russia.
-After I caught it, I kindly explained it to you. I will send you to South Korea. But you can’t believe this guy! And even when he tried to escape, he struggled, so he had no choice but to tie him up tightly.
The Russian Hunter looked at Kim Jin-goo and said.
– How do you like it?
Jang Pan-ho said:
The Black Tiger organization will help rescue the comrades.
And that was true.
In order not to show Kim Jin-goo, he nodded his head and said, pretending to be as calm as possible.
– It’s a nice gift.
-okay?
– Please continue to ask. for each other.
-great!
A North Korean hunter was dragged to the front of Kim Jin-goo when the Russian hunter gestured.
Kim Jin-goo whispered to the nervous North Korean hunter so that no one else could hear him.
“Now calm down.”
Then the North Korean hunter was startled and sharpened his teeth.
“Are you from the State Security Agency? Or friendliness?”
“It’s not… .”
“When I die, I die, I never said anything to you!!”
At that, Jingu Kim said with a slight smile.
“Calm down. Did you have to lose your strength before you even met comrade Panho?”
Then the North Korean Hunter’s mouth slowly opened.
“Stand, please.”
Jingu Kim whispered quietly.
“Welcome. comrade.”

Supply to those who maintain high-priced policies due to lack of market channels, and supply to those who cannot secure sufficient quantity due to insufficient supply.
In this way, while balancing the world’s supply and demand for snow white fruit, they use their power to bring North Korean hunters to South Korea.
In particular, the hunters gathered in this way are better because they can be used in secret operations because they are smuggling rather than the official route.
“Gathering hunters like this… .”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Overturn North Korea.”
Pan-ho Jang, who in his previous life was a behind-the-scenes authority manipulating the new North Korean government from behind, is now a pawn in the Black Tiger organization.
“Hmm.”
By the way, what should we do to overturn North Korea?
“Is it possible by simply strengthening the power of North Korean defectors?”
The biggest reason they succeeded in advancing to the nose of the President’s Palace was that they secretly infiltrated Pyongyang and staged a surprise coup.
But this time the number is much smaller, and even in South Korea, we have to break through the armistice line and push up to Pyongyang. Is that really easy?
I thought for a while and said.
“It will be difficult.”
When the Panho Guild from South Korea crossed the armistice and arrived in Pyongyang, it must have already been fully prepared.
Even if we were lucky enough to devour the palace, it must have been after the entire Kim family had escaped.
So, in order to take advantage of the Hunter’s strengths, he has to sneak in secretly and overthrow everything in an instant in Pyongyang.
What you need is… .
“skill.”
Skills for stealth infiltration are required.
I said with a puzzled look.
“Is the skill not enough?”
As time passed, each guild made some progress on their own interpretation of the skill stone runes, but the number of skill stones circulating in the market was still very small.
In the end, they say that I have to solve it within the skill stones I have accumulated over the years… .
“Even a hat is not enough.”
Then you just have to think of another way.
“Or are you raised in North Korea?”
Although North Korea is still focusing its efforts on finding traitors, there are still quite a number of hunters participating in the coup.
The idea is to regroup them again, have them grow their power within, and then proceed with the work in South Korea and North Korea at the same time.
However.
“… It’s also difficult.”
Due to the closed nature of North Korea, it is by no means easy for me and Pan-ho Jang to establish a proper power outside.
“Can’t there be something good?”
After thinking for a moment, I opened my eyes and said.
“… No. Which one do you choose between the two and sit down?”
The Kim family is like North Korea’s Jung In-su, or me.
Because only they have a route to get information.
Therefore, the Labor Guard is North Korea’s Jeongin Guild, and the coup force that took place with Jang Pan-ho can be compared to other guilds who feel jealous of such information monopoly.
So how do we break this relationship?
“As long as information is no longer a monopoly.”
It’s me, things that are only in my head as future knowledge anyway, so I don’t have to worry about leaks, but the Kim family is a fake Jung In-soo.
In other words, it’s like my backwards compatibility.
“If information is released on a large scale and the strength of the Labor Guard is destroyed… You can increase the power of the coup d’état. The same goes for skills. The upper guilds aren’t going to interpret it to some extent anyway. At this time, if some of the runes are revealed, skills with bad activation conditions will be skipped and put on the market, right?”
Would you dare to absorb even the obvious one-time skill?
It’s much better to sell and make money.
Anyway, what I need right now is the skill itself required for infiltration, not the activation condition.
One-time use is fine.
Activation conditions that are not conducive to battle at all, such as stiffness immediately after activation, are also good.
After all, it’s a stealth skill for operations, not combat.
I closed my eyes for a moment and started thinking.
“What I get with the control of information and what I get when I release it.”
The strategy information is in fact already a public good of the upper guilds.
Therefore, it is impossible to get the same profit as before with this.
Runes are a bit of a waste, but I think it will be okay if they come out relatively well and selectively share only negative characters?
There is a sharp inclination towards the additional disclosure of the scale between public and private.
“okay.”
Anyhow, when a B-grade dungeon comes out, all the current information will be outdated.
Besides, the reason I’m targeting North Korea now is to prepare for the future when my future information runs out.
If you can only embrace and control a national platform called North Korea, what else do you have to fear?
For that purpose, this kind of investment is well worth it.
I said with a bright smile.
“Would you like to become a great person at this time?”
* * *
Numerous reporters gathered for the research presentation of the Jeongin group.
I looked at those reporters and said,
“I have been collecting countless skill stones and investing endlessly to interpret these characters, which we call runes. But my money is not that important. Also, unlike the amount of money that is earned, the hunters who participated in the research sacrificed their bodies for nothing.”
A secret research institute that I have been using as an excuse for analyzing my strategy and researching dungeon items.
Because of this, people rate this secret lab as my most powerful asset.
Of course, where it is, how many researchers it is, etc., people wanted to know about this secret lab, but no one had a clue.
When I mentioned such a research institute, the reporters said with their eyes shining.
“Five! laboratory.”
“What are you going to present today?”
But it was very natural that they could not find it.
Because that secret laboratory is just a virtual device to freely bring out the future knowledge in my head.
“Thanks to this, the Jeongin Lab has succeeded in making a significant interpretation of the runes. Now, it’s enough to filter out most of the skills with some negative effects. Of course, in the case of active, there are many cases where even after learning the skill, they still do not know what skill it is… Anyway.”
I exclaimed with a firm expression.
“When I heard the report from the institute, I was worried. Is it really right to take advantage of this? Even at this time, many people who are testing skill stones with negative effects with their own bodies are suffering damage!”
As we slowly got closer to the main topic, the reporters began to be engulfed in excitement one by one.
“Stand, please.”
“No. it won’t be The Jeongin group invested trillions of money… .”
I hit the podium and shouted loudly.
“Jeongin Group is not a company I grew up alone! Because there were people! It’s only because someone bought our stuff that we’ve grown so much! Before the Jung-in group, there is a society, and before there is a society, there is a person, right? Then, as a member of society, you should pay the minimum amount in return!!”
“Oh oh!”
Reporters fire flashes and take pictures.
I shouted at them.
“The runes I found out after much trial and error in the lab. Among them, the runes that have been clearly interpreted will be revealed first.”
At my words, the reporters raised their hands and said, “You and I.
“I have a question!!”
“Korea Daily… !!!”
I raised my hand and said.
“I will not be taking questions today. After all, it’s just an announcement. Details will be posted on the website.”
After the presentation, I came down to the podium under the guidance of the bodyguards.
I called Yoon Sang-deok everywhere.
-President. I watched it live. How cool are you? haha.
“It was nothing… Are you ready for that?”
-of course. Interpreted and prepared in different languages.
I draw the runes, and Yoon Sang-deok discloses the attack data of the C-class dungeon anonymously on the Internet.
The information that the top guilds of each country had been hiding is spread all over the world.
Due to this information, guilds that could not even dare to attack C-class dungeons will take on the challenge, and guilds that have only caught certain bosses will now have a foothold to compete with the top guilds.
And the same goes for North Korea.
In this way, they weaken the strength of the North Korean Labor Guard, increase the power of the North Korean hunters, sprinkle runes, and use the vast amount of money to buy all the skills necessary for infiltration among the skill stones that will be circulated in the market.
I said with a smile.
“Start right away.”
