“Ummm…”
The chef came down to Dangjin Dungeon City with his bodyguards under the direction of Chairman Nowon-gu.
After passing through the main street lined with splendid new buildings, the chef came into a back alley full of container houses, where he could feel a different atmosphere from the outside.
“Something in the atmosphere…”
Dangjin Dungeon City is the city with the second highest number of hunters among the cities where dungeons exist.
In fact, with a population of only 7,000, it is at the level of a small town rather than a city.
Anyway, as it is such a Dangjin city, the hunters and shop owners who come and go in the new building on the main street certainly felt a sense of leisure, but this place was a little different.
Something stagnant and dark.
So the chef walked further inside with the bodyguards.
“Container house marked with …B.”
It was a way of distinguishing the places that sold snow white fruit, which I heard from the president.
Among the many container houses, look for a container house with a B on the door.
The chef, who had been walking around for a while, said with his eyes shining.
“found.”
Container house marked with B.
As the chef quietly approached and knocked, a man’s voice was heard from inside.
“Come on in.”
So the chef opened the door and entered.
There was nothing in the container house, just a middle-aged man sitting next to the safe with a desk and chair.
“What did you come here for?”
At the middle-aged man’s words, the chef said carefully.
“Maybe Snow White…”
Then the middle-aged man quietly put his finger to his mouth and said,
“Shh.”
“Suck!”
“You have to be very careful. Anyway, you are looking for it.”
“···Yes.”
The middle-aged man looked up and down at the chef and said.
“Didn’t you come out of the crackdown?”
“Absolutely not.”
“How to prove it?”
The chef said in a quiet voice.
“…how can I prove it?”
I can’t prove it, and I can’t give you a certificate of membership in the Senate group.
Then, for a moment, the middle-aged man looked at the chef and smiled.
“What. That’s it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a crackdown. Let’s see… 200,000 won per gram at the current market price.”
Not 100g, but 200,000 won for 1g.
“2… 200,000 won?”
Then the chef said with a puzzled expression.
“Is 200,000 won worth just 1g!?”
“Why doesn’t it make sense? Do you not know supply and demand? A lot of people want it, but if there isn’t a lot of it, it’s expensive.”
The middle-aged man said with a serious expression.
“Drink if you don’t like it. There are a lot of people who want to buy it even if it’s not yours.”
“ね…”
It was as the middle-aged man said.
The easiest way for rich people to get snow white fruit is to ask a hunter to secretly bring it out.
However, the cost of requesting a hunter was not cheap, and it was checked at the entrance of the Yongin dungeon and taken away.
Of course, if you keep trying, you will be able to save it.
However, considering the time and incidental costs incurred in the meantime, 200,000 won seems cheaper.
Another way is to destroy the confiscated items and bribe officials who inspect them.
However, the problem is that if this happens, bribery, not the Food Sanitation Act, will be applied from then on, and the level of risk is different.
If you could buy it even for 200,000 won, it would be much safer and simpler to just buy it.
“ha. Okay. I will buy it.”
“You thought well. How much do you want me to give you?”
“As much as possible.”
Is money a problem for Chairman Nowon-gu?
The chef has been instructed to buy as many as possible regardless of the amount.
But the problem arose elsewhere.
“Let’s see…the remaining stock is 20g…is it okay if I purchase in bulk at once, but it’s ok?”
“20····20g?!”
The more you buy, the more you pay?
I understand that there is a shortage of supply.
But only 20g.
When Chairman Nowon-gu eats a lot, 20g is just two days’ worth.
Of course, Chairman Nowon-gu now eats sparingly, so it is enough to last a week, but it is still far below the amount the chef expected.
“Are there any more? Enough money!”
“I see that you are mistaken, but money is not the problem. There is no stock. quantity. Why don’t you sell me because you don’t want to sell more?”
Finally, the chef sighed.
“ha. Give me that at once. Instead, please contact me the next time something comes up.”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said.
“We do not operate a reservation system. I don’t know when the stock will come out again, so how do I make a reservation? Besides, there should be one or two people like guests. Anyway.”
A middle-aged man held out his hand and said.
“Give me money.”
“Anything?”
“If there was a crackdown, I would have been confiscated, but how could I have left things here? If you pay in advance, I will tell you the container house where I left my belongings and the location of the keys tomorrow, so go and take them.”
Jang Cheol-ho runs a point organization to avoid police crackdowns.
With such advice from Cheol-Ho Jang, I formed my own point organization.
First of all, I recruited a few dungeon goods market merchants that I noticed.
These are people who fear me and know better than anyone that money is money.
So you never betray me.
You know very well that if you betray me, you will no longer be in business like Altoran.
With such people as the center, he stretched out branches to the people in the back alleys and made them into front-line merchants handling dozens of snow-white seasonings.
trust in them?
I don’t need anything like that.
They are the poorest people I have chosen for myself.
What is important to such people is not punishment, but whether there is a reward to offset it.
“Anyway, if you crack down on it now, you will end up with some fines for confiscating snow white fruit powder.”
It is difficult to get the fruit from the dungeon after breaking through the checkpoint, and the punishment for distribution itself is very weak compared to the amount of money earned by the Beksul fruit as it falls under the Food Sanitation Act.
So the real key is to avoid confiscation, not fines.
So, the method I chose was to receive an advance payment and notify only the location of the item.
In this way, even if you are caught in a crackdown, you can at least protect your belongings, and if you can only protect your things, it’s not a big deal.
I said with a smile.
“Do whatever you can to crack down on it.”
Of course, if this situation continues, we will try to revise the law on the distribution of Beksul fruit through amendments to the law.
However, the limitations were clear.
The reason is simple.
Because the location of customers who are looking for snow white fruit is the people who control the Republic of Korea.
Even the lawmakers themselves, the lawmakers themselves, are not from the upper classes who are not free from this snow-white fruit.
In the end, like in previous lives, the punishment for the distribution of Beksul fruit will never rise above a certain level.
For the same reason, he would be hesitant about the crackdown itself.
Because Korean celebrities will come out one after another trying to catch a few snow white fruit merchants.
Anyway, the punishment for the snow white fruit is weak.
Nevertheless, the reason I created this organization was not only to take the snow white fruit, but also to take preemptive measures against various illegal items that will continue to appear in the future.
Shouldn’t the distribution take place immediately if an organization is formed in advance?
I said, gazing again.
“In my mind, I would like to receive 1 million won per gram, but…”
In fact, in the current situation, even if you call for 1 million won instead of 200,000 won, the person who will buy it will buy it.
However, the moment they decide that it is better to find another route because the amount is too high, people start exploring other routes.
In other words, if the situation really gets to the extreme, there will always be people who take risks and try to save them by any means, such as bribing public officials.
So no trouble
It’s the same as how I made the outpost public and took control of the traffic network inside the dungeon.
It’s a little vague that the guilds make a forward base, and it makes me think that it’s better to just buy it and buy it safely for 200,000 won rather than pioneering a different route.
And the more that perception continues to spread, and as the number of items increases, the black market becomes stronger and stronger.
Illegal is illegal, but it is indispensable and at the same time a necessary evil without a substitute system.
It was the black market I was looking for.
“How much stock do you have left?”
Before it became illegal, I collected 1 ton of seasoning for snow white fruit.
Blanching, drying, and powdering reduced the amount, but the amount that cannot be ignored is that when converted to 200,000 won, the amount is 200 billion won.
“Still, it’s not bad if you buy 10 times longer.”
Of course, 200,000 won is only the final consumer price, and the amount that actually falls into my hands is about 140,000 won, which is about 140 billion won, but considering the 15 billion won I invested in Beksul fruit, it’s a huge business.
“How obscure is this?”
In the early stages of market formation, rumors spread less and only 50 kg per month were being supplied.
deliberately to frustrate merchants and customers.
However, if the market is activated in earnest, the supply will increase even more, so no matter how much you save, you will not be able to last more than half a year.
Before that, it is necessary to create an organization that can reliably supply snow white berries.
“Drugs and gamblers.”
An organization that smuggles in seasonings from outposts.
But if you think about it, wouldn’t it have been possible to supply snow white fruit in this way in a previous life?
Obviously it’s illegal and there are inspections, but the supply has been surprisingly steady.
taken from noblemt l
Moreover, at that time, the guilds were operating the outposts in a closed manner, so it is even more likely.
“Anyway···”
I said with my eyes shining while holding the materials I had prepared.
“Shall we gradually organize the organization?”
Hunter Oh Ki-hwan said while humming.
“Hung Heung Heung.”
Days like dreams that have unfolded since waking up.
What do you do when you say that your monthly income before awakening is similar to your daily income?
there in particular.
Oh Ki-hwan licked his lips and said.
“ah. I’m craving some medicine.”
The presence of drugs was even more so.
The greatest pleasure that can be given to a body that has become numb to stimulation.
What do you do when you have a lot of money?
After all, life is meant to be enjoyable.
“Let’s be patient. You were supposed to go tomorrow.”
I had an appointment to do medicine at the outpost tomorrow, so I have to be patient for now.
However, someone approached Oh Ki-hwan and talked to him.
“Hunter Oh Ki-hwan.”
“uh? President Jung.”
The person who spoke to Oh Ki-hwan was none other than Jung-in’s representative, Jeong In-soo.
And Lee Jae-jin standing next to Jeong In-soo.
“What are you doing?”
Jeong In-soo said with a smile.
“Nothing else, but I made an outpost in Yongin Dungeon. But there are not enough people to work there. So I am trying to recruit Oh Ki-hwan.”
Oh Ki-hwan was surprised at the word Yongin Dungeon.
“yo. this. Yongin Dungeon?”
Although gorillas were attacked and it was relatively safe only in that area, Yongin Dungeon was not a consideration from the beginning for hunters like Oh Ki-hwan who were just satisfied with their lives.
“Yes. We need hunters who will stay there and guard the outpost 24 hours a day.”
even 24 hours?
“Of course, I think it will be three shifts, so it won’t be as difficult as I thought. The money will be generously paid. The income will probably be higher than it is now.”
At Jeong In-soo’s words, Oh Ki-hwan waved his hand and said.
“I am grateful for President Jung’s suggestion, but I don’t think it’s something I can do. I really like Dangjin Dungeon right now.”
Then Jeong In-soo said with a smile.
“What do you like so much about?”
“Uh… the facilities are clean and the points are good, anyway. I don’t have enough skills and, above all else, I like to play, so staying in the dungeon for such a long time…”
Then, Jeong In-soo approached Oh Ki-hwan and pretended to be friendly and hugged his shoulder.
“You like to play?”
Oh Ki-hwan said with an awkward expression at the sudden shoulder movement.
“···Yes.”
“How do you like to play?”
Jeong In-su whispered quietly into Oh Ki-hwan’s ear.
“Are you drinking and playing?”
At Jeong In-soo’s words, Oh Ki-hwan’s head slowly turned toward Jeong In-soo.
“Now…what…”
However, Jeong In-soo did not respond to Oh Ki-hwan’s words and quietly recited something.
“June 15th at 14:00. 18th at 18:00…”
Jung In-soo suddenly keeps mentioning the date and time.
Oh Ki-hwan, who was listening to the date, turned pale.
“west. no way···”
Jeong In-soo raised the corners of his lips and said.
“Isn’t it okay to talk out loud? Come to my office.”
“This… this is…”
After watching the video I played, Oh Ki-hwan’s complexion turned pale.
“You look so happy.”
It was a hidden camera video of Oh Ki-hwan and other hunters taking medicine inside the outpost.
I said while pointing my finger at Oh Ki-hwan in the video.
“Isn’t this Ogi-hwan? Ouch. do it once and do it again If it’s too much, it’s not good for even a hunter, no matter how much. You have to think about your health.”
Oh Ki-hwan looked at me and said.
“Hidden Cameras?”
“It’s not just a hidden camera, it’s just CCTV. for security. It’s just hidden.”
“Isn’t that what you mean!! For what purpose did you shoot this video?!”
I said with a smile.
“What is your intention? I just got caught while filming it.”
Oh Ki-hwan looked at me and said.
“Are you threatening me…? Hunter me!”
The very moment when Oh Ki-hwan is about to get up from his seat.
Jae-Jin Lee placed his hand on Oh Ki-Hwan’s shoulder as he got up.
and gently press down.
“Ugh!!!”
Jae-Jin Lee, a hunter who only goes through F-class dungeons and has systematic training as well as overwhelming talent, is already moving from E-class to D-class in his previous life.
Oh Ki-hwan was not Lee Jae-jin’s opponent.
“sit down.”
When Jae-jin Lee gave him a light push, Oh Ki-hwan sat down on the sofa again.
Oh Ki-hwan only realized that.
The fact that he is on the verge of being amnesiac and that he cannot overcome this crisis just by being a hunter.
Lee Jae-jin, who lowered Oh Ki-hwan, said quietly.
“Be quiet. And be quiet.”
I saw Jaejin Lee like that and said with a smile.
“Jaejin. let it go It looks like we’re making real threats.”
Then Jaejin Lee nodded and took a step back.
“Ugh.”
I said to Oh Ki-hwan, who was trembling.
“What will happen if this data goes to the police? oh By the way, I have quite a few connections with the prosecutor, so I can stab the chief prosecutor right away.”
“that. that···”
Drugs were used publicly among the hunters, but that was only when they became one established power with a huge guild.
“Drug habit. By the way, all the records of ticket issuance are left, and even the video. Even if I use a lawyer from the chief judge, I wouldn’t be able to get out of this. hey What if I’m sorry If you eat well and play well and then suddenly go to jail, it must be very difficult for someone who likes to play.”
Oh Ki-hwan bit his lip and said.
“me. I’m hungry! It would be a huge loss for the nation to see Hunter go to jail…”
“Do you think I’ll leave it alone and watch it?”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“If it was going to be so soft, I wouldn’t even show it in the first place.”
“Ugh…”
Oh Ki-hwan finally bowed his head and said.
“My. What can I do…”
I said with a smirk.
“I think we’re ready to talk a little bit now.”
