Starting with the hunter who posted on the Internet, I gave the guild members a similar mission, and at the same time allowed only the hunter who performed the mission to use the secret dungeon.
Of course, some of them knew the contents of the mission and were reluctant, but all of them primarily chose only those whom the guild leaders would accept relatively docilely, and the merits of the secret dungeon were so great that there was only a difference in time. .
“Is it helpful?”
All it took was three or four jobs per person, but the number of guild members was quite large, so it was a great help in making up for the lack of work.
“I have to do it regularly.”
Just keep working.
If you don’t listen, you’ll be banned from entering again.
Instead of working only three or four times a month, if they can use secret dungeons that are several times more efficient, there is no reason for them not to.
It’s not the first time I’ve ever done it anyway.
There is little risk anyway, and their main mission is virtually security guard, and they are not regularly assigned to one mission, but continue to roll over to another, so the possibility of them reaching key information is zero.
“great. It’s starting to take shape.”
Now, only the Hunter of the Black Tiger who will control and command all these things is mass-produced and needs to be established.
“Next is now a B-grade dungeon.”
The last dungeon for which I know the strategy.
Then I got an extension phone call from the secretary.
“Yes.”
-Chairman, Chairman Yoo Jeong-hak of Daon Investment has arrived.
“Chairman Yoo?”
Chairman Yoo Jeong-hak was very helpful.
Isn’t it because of Jung-hak Yoo’s advice that he made the Jung-in group a group company right away?
I’ve been busy with business, so I haven’t been able to meet you properly other than on the phone, but this time, I came to see you in person.
“See you.”
After a while, Yoo Jung-hak, who came into the chairman’s room with the secretary, raised his hand and said,
“Chairman Jung, long time no see.”
* * *
Yoo Jeong-hak said, taking a sip of tea.
“It was hard to see my face, so I came to see you.”
“Haha, sorry. I’m so busy.”
“I know, I’m not blaming you. It’s just that.”
“Are you sure you didn’t come here for something?”
Then Yoo Jung-hak said with a smirk.
“What happened? I’m just here to play. I’m not going to start a business any more at this age. Just think of the old man because he was lonely, so he went out for a drink and stopped at a friend’s house.”
“It’s a friend’s house, haha.”
“Aren’t you a lot richer than me now? In the original world, the rich man is the older brother. Still, we can’t call him hyung, so let’s move on to being friends.”
Yoo Jeong-hak leads the story with a sense of weight and comfort.
This was one of the reasons why I kept Yoo Jeong-hak close even though he was an outsider.
“Oh, there is one. The Allied Forces.”
“A convulsion?”
“Yeah, we have a meeting soon. Well, aren’t you going to sign up again this time?”
National Federation of Entrepreneurs.
It was a gathering of one of the leading company owners in Korea.
Jung-hak Yoo has occasionally invited me to join, but I have been refusing it because most of the people who gather there are older presidents.
“I say it all the time, but it’s all about getting together and having a cup of tea and talking about the latest trends. The only difference is that the people gathered are among the best in Korea. Still, it helps a lot in business.”
“Hmm… .”
“In addition, a lot of relatively young people have recently joined as members. Of course, not as good as you.”
Shall we go?
Isn’t it a place you wouldn’t even be able to dream of if you were in a previous life?
I don’t think it would be a bad idea to sign up once as a souvenir.
If you don’t like it, you can’t attend after that.
I keep recommending that I like Yoo Jeong-hak, but it’s a bit odd to just say I don’t like it.
I nodded and said.
“It is.”
Then Yoo Jeong-hak said with a surprised expression.
“really? Are you joining?”
“Yes. Let’s go and experience it.”
Then Yoo Jeong-hak said with a bright smile.
“Yeah, well thought. Even if you don’t, there are a lot of people who are curious about you. Oh, it won’t happen, but don’t worry if a strange teasing guy comes out. I’ll take care of everything.”

The FKI meeting was held by renting the entire auditorium of a five-star hotel, as the members of the FKI held.
At first, I regretted joining because there were reporters and the meeting was going in a rather stiff atmosphere, but when the first part ended and the second part started, private conversations without reporters changed my mind.
“This time I invested… .”
“Shall we try?”
Various sources that ordinary people can get even if they turn on the lights come out like a daily conversation here.
“It’s okay.”
“right?”
There is still no information for me to move directly, but I think I can understand why Jung-hak Yoo continued to recommend joining.
what is it
Should I say that I can grasp the general flow of the Korean economy at a glance?
Then an old man came and said,
“Nice to meet you, Chairman. I am Nowon-gu.”
Honorary Chairman Nowon-gu of the Sangwon Group.
It was my first time seeing him face to face, but he was a very welcome person to me.
That’s right, Chairman Noh Won-gu was a serious VIP customer who could not eat without the beksul fruit.
“Nice to meet you. This is Jeong In-soo.”
“Yeah, is this your first time seeing your face?”
At that time, Chairman Nowon-gu whispered in my ear.
“Are you really out of touch by the way?”
In the early days of the black market, it was an open secret that I distributed snow white berries.
Now it’s all turned over to the Black Tiger.
Of course, that would be the most important to Nowon-gu, the top VIP customer.
Because there is no overlap in business.
“Yeah, completely out of touch.”
“Then what is being distributed now?”
“I don’t know for sure. Well, it could be a remnant of the organization I was running, or it could be a whole new organization.”
“okay? Still, there was a sense of stability when Chairman Chung tied the knot in Dangjin, but it was a bit disappointing.”
I said with a smile.
“Anyway, Chairman Noh, this topic is a little… .”
“Oh sorry. I’m glad I didn’t know. Anyway, let’s see. Call me if you need help.”
So, starting with Nowon-gu, people related to me came to me one by one and talked to me.
“I heard the story from my nephew. nice to meet you.”
From the chairman of LK Group, which is bisecting the slime processing business along with the development of Jeongin.
“Haha, Chairman Jung!”
Jo Han-gil of the Daein group who entered the dungeon industry with excitement and eventually joined hands.
In addition to that, even businessmen who are regulars in the underground stadium.
So, little by little, people flock around me.
‘Looking this way, my network is still quite good.’
what is it
A feeling of being recognized in a different way.
‘not bad.’
I feel like I am part of the mainstream society.
‘Is this why the hunters are active in joining the Black Tiger?’
I knew it, but when I actually experienced it, it wasn’t a bad feeling at all.
Now, I am confident that I will not lose, no, I will overcome no matter who I am with, but apart from that confidence, I am a little proud to be able to have a meeting in the same place with people who are loud in society.
‘Besides, no one is arguing.’
Isn’t that a scene that appears frequently in movies and novels?
The scene where the existing chaebols are wary of the emergence of new unicorn companies and try their best to undermine what they have achieved.
But the people I met were different.
‘Well, you’re a businessman. Prioritizing efficiency.’
Even if you have such thoughts in your heart, no one dares to express them.
Because there is nothing more ineffective than making new enemies by making noises that you shouldn’t be doing.
At the same time, it also meant that me and the Jungin group had grown to the point where they had to hide their true feelings.
‘I have to participate often.’
But then the president sighed and said:
“By the way, I’m worried about the Hunters.”
The president looked at the members and said.
“It’s still like this now, but what will happen if more hunters emerge and stronger hunters emerge… I don’t know if it’s just being dragged away, let alone control.”
Then many presidents nodded their heads and said.
“That’s right.”
“I’m worried.”
It is understandable that the presidents do that.
From a manager’s point of view, social instability is a big risk factor.
Besides, the rise of the physically powerful Hunters, which cannot be solved with money, will be a threat to those who are in the top position with money.
“What do you think, Chairman Jung?”
But suddenly a question comes to me.
“Is that what you mean?”
“Among the people here, Chairman Jung is not the best expert on dungeons and hunters. What do you think will happen in the future?”
Then all the members’ attention is focused on me.
‘how will we do it.’
Shall I froze in moderation?
It doesn’t change anything just because I say it anyway, doesn’t it just bother me?
But then I shook my head and thought.
‘No.’
The Korean economy moves according to the thoughts of the people here.
In other words, the more I appeal to the strength and ability I have here and the more they see me as a helpful person, the more deeply I can be involved in the movement.
I thought for a while and said.
“If it were me, I would save my words for now.”
Then the president said with a surprised expression.
“What do you mean?”
“Right now, guild leader Lee Jae-jin of the Jeongin Guild is waiting outside, because Jaejin has very bright ears. Of course, as it is a 5-star hotel, the soundproofing is good, but that’s just for the general public. Jaejin. When you hear it, knock on the door.”
Then Jaejin Lee knocks on the auditorium door twice.
When the presidents heard the sound, they were astonished and said.
“Can you hear that sound outside?”
Jae-Jin Lee, who hears and responds accurately even when speaking in a low-pitched voice that people can hear in the soundproofed auditorium.
“The ability of Hunters goes beyond common sense. Needless to say, considering the skills. So you have to be careful with what you say. There are people like that everywhere.”
I said with a relaxed expression.
“Anyway, you asked what would happen in the future, but I think this is the trend of the times. An irresistible flow of time. Hunters have grown rapidly with each new dungeon appearing. That will always be the case. So we have to admit it first. The power that Hunters have. It’s not about controlling that power, it’s about their own means of trading on a par with the money we have.”
taken from noblemt l
Most presidents buy hunters with money and use them as bodyguards.
it’s the same for me
But that’s a saying that only applies to low-level hunters.
“Hunter will become even stronger. In the era of capitalism, money was the measure of power, in the era of the hunter, money and the skill of the hunter are the measure. Unless we acknowledge this, Hunter and we will have no choice but to keep fighting. And one of them will collapse.”
As I said to the presidents, Hunter’s power will now be established as one of the axes of power.
And having secured countless such powers, I become a new power in a new era.
I said with a smile.
“Of course that’s the case, so don’t worry too much about it. Just like no one hates money, Hunters are also members of society who need money, so they need us too. That is, coexistence is possible. If you just admit it. Besides what… .”
I turned to the presidents and said.
“As a member, if you are a member of the same association and have any difficulties, would you mind helping me?”
Even if I add all the hunters that the presidents pay money for, it wouldn’t work for me.
From the vigilantes and the academy to the Jeongin guild, the number of hunters directly or indirectly related to me is enormous.
This fact is implicitly revealed to the presidents.
I talked about coexisting with the Hunter, but to them, coexistence with the entrepreneur Jung Insoo is more relatable than the direct coexistence with the Hunter.
In fact, it was intentional and deliberately mentioned coexistence.
At my words, the presidents laughed one by one.
“That’s reassuring.”
“I’m going to have to be close with Chairman Jung from now on.”
“ha ha ha.”
First of all, the presidents laughed lightly.
But will the same reaction occur even after the next dungeon appears?
‘Look forward.’
Soon everyone here will say sorry to me.
* * *
After successfully making my FKI debut, I started to think about countermeasures for B-class dungeons in earnest.
“how will we do it… .”
There are two ways.
As before, taking advantage of the strategy information to maximize profits and turning the B-class dungeon into a secret dungeon.
“If you turn it into a secret dungeon, you have to give up that much.”
First of all, there is no way to officially raise the Jeongin Guild.
I worked hard to keep a distance from the Black Tiger, but I can’t push the Jeongin Guild, the core of my power, into the Black Tiger.
Besides, foreign labor… No, it is also a problem that it becomes difficult to profit from the monopoly of materials through foreign guilds.
“This is the last time, so we have to play the game properly.”
Secret dungeons can be created later.
Now it’s time to get the most out of it.
“The purchase of land is a pass.”
Anyway, the higher the dungeon, the less the gain you can see as a land price.
It is a corporation that becomes money when consumption increases, but the number of hunters who can consume it is limited.
So, take advantage of the dungeon itself.
I said with my eyes shining.
“ruler. Come on out.”
* * *
quiet afternoon.
Urgent news hit South Korea and the world.
A new class of dungeons that appeared from all over the world.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“It came out.”
A new class of dungeons that have appeared after a long time since C-class dungeons.
And naturally, calls come to all my cellphones.
Then I heard the voices of the secretaries outside.
“Jeong-in’s group secretary… Ah, because the president is busy right now… .”
I turned the phones to silence and turned them over.
“Wait. I need to clean up a bit and move on.”
All eyes are on me, regardless of government, corporations, and guilds.
If so, you should use it.
It’s the last chance I’ve been given.
I’m going to finish everything here.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“I’ll pull out the bone marrow and eat it.”
