“ruler. Let’s make kimchi.”
A child in a hospital uniform smiled and said at my words.
“Kimchi~.”
Click, click.
After all the pictures were taken, the child’s mother came up to me and grabbed my hand and said,
“thank you. Thank you very much.”
I replied with a smile.
“no. We live in a world where we all live together, and we have to help each other.”
I disclosed the efficacy of light bombardment, saying that it can be a hope for critically ill patients who are in such a critical condition that it is difficult to even attempt surgery.
Naturally, the government, which had been severely burned with snow white fruit, opposed it, but the seriously ill and his family were enthusiastic.
The hope that the mysterious items from the mysterious dungeons brought to them, who were in a predicament enough to mobilize all kinds of folk remedies with the spirit of catching even straw, was just as strong.
They actively said that they could be mobilized for clinical trials, and I also contacted several pharmaceutical companies and made research proposals.
Of course, there are countless obstacles until it is registered as an official drug, but I am not trying to make money from this anyway. If the efficacy is clearly proven through clinical trials, the blast will become the hope of patients, and I will become their savior, giving it away for free.
As soon as I started the safety test, I selected candidates for preliminary clinical trials, and selected those with particularly unfortunate stories from countless applications.
And this kid is one of those chosen ones.
He was born with a serious heart disease, but was unable to receive proper treatment due to family circumstances.
The child’s mother said with tears in her eyes.
“Thank you so much for helping me with the cost of surgery.”
I said with a smile.
“If Junghwan endures well and is treated, I will be satisfied with that.”
As I left the photo zone behind the child’s mother, who continued to thank me, a woman appeared in front of me and started glaring at me.
“Hmm? oh Reporter Kang Ha-in of the Jingi Daily.”
It was reporter Kang Ha-in, who was doing my interview.
“What did you come here for? oh Because of the light explosion?”
“···Yes. I’m here to investigate.”
Shall we play a little?
“The blast blows away a person’s reason and strengthens their physical abilities. Then, if you put it to sleep under general anesthesia and operate, you can only get benefits without any side effects. In that sense, it will be a ray of hope for critically ill patients. That is, it is in the public interest.”
I said with a smile.
“So I decided to use this for everyone, not money, so I went ahead with this business.”
And raising the corners of his lips, he said.
“I’m not getting a single penny.”
“ね…”
Kang Ha-in looked at me and said.
“Don’t you feel guilty about making poor people fall into lawlessness?”
remorse of conscience
“They are being taken advantage of. to you.”
A very good journalist.
It’s also very hypocritical.
This is the style I hate the most.
“What did I do or didn’t do? Are you talking about thinking about countermeasures?”
“···I beg your pardon?”
“They say they have been taken advantage of. to some bad guy But thanks to that bastard, he earns money to start a family and educate his children.”
They don’t pay any attention until they gather in the land to trade snow white fruit, and now I’m sick of pretending to be good.
“Then how do they make money when the bad guy is gone? Are you thinking about that?”
“…for now, the first thing to do is to help us get out of the yoke of illegality.”
no.
Wrong.
What they need is not the consolation of the hypocrites, but the Congos from deceivers like me.
Just like I did in my previous life.
“Do they really think so? Anyway, I’ve heard some interesting comments. Please look forward to this article about the explosion.”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Just like last time, precisely based on facts. Reporter Kang Ha-in.”
While building myths with the madness, I continued to throw plausible issues and distract people from the black market.
At the same time, the media continued to highlight the situation of the people in the back alleys, making the situation even more confusing.
The government doesn’t know that the reason the media is publishing articles about snow white fruit is the pressure on the government and a plea to leave it alone.
High-ranking government officials are also well aware of this.
It’s not something that gets blocked just because you want to stop it.
For those who have already lost their taste, snow white fruit is the only medicine that can restore their taste, even temporarily.
Also, there must be a fear that prominent figures from all walks of life will be entangled in the crackdown.
If that happens, the social impact will be enormous.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t ignore the public’s attention, so I can’t do this either.
While the government hesitated, more and more people flocked to the black market.
Some people want to make money with snow white fruit, and some people buy it.
Where there are so many people, it thrives.
At first, there were people who made and sold simple meals for foreigners, but as the number of such stores increased one by one, the market began to take shape.
Under this circumstance, snow-white berries were more secretly traded.
If you go to a certain store after trading the snow beksol fruit, they give you a bag containing the seasoning for snow white fruit, or mix it with food, and it has become a place where the illegal and the legal are mixed.
As the market is activated, some people find jobs and work there, and the market has become an indispensable element for backstreet people.
Naturally, the government passively watched the situation as the market grew rapidly, and as the market grew rapidly, the government was terrified and tried to send a crackdown team, but the interests of merchants and customers, the transaction method and the scale, which were already entangled like a spider’s web, were determined by the crackdown team, an outsider. It is impossible to root out.
A few market vendors confiscated and punished small amounts of snow white seasoning by crackdowns, but they did not say where they got the seasoning.
The one who doesn’t speak makes more money.
In addition, if all the people in the back alleys had already gathered around the market, they would almost be branded as a traitor if they reported information they knew to the crackdown team.
Of course, some merchants fell for the conciliation of the crackdown team and talked about where they got it, but the upper line had already disappeared the moment the merchant was caught.
In the end, the crackdown team had no choice but to return without much income.
And again, the market reopened as usual.
It was the beginning of a full-fledged black market.
Of course, it’s still just a small seed germinated.
“Are there any problems with supply?”
Oh Ki-hwan, who is in charge of one of the three seasoning organizations, said to me.
“No problem. It’s more relaxed with additional staff coming in.”
I additionally gathered druggist and gambler hunters and sent them into Yongin Dungeon, and now the three organizations have a total of 80 people.
I said looking at Oh Ki-hwan.
“Can I do it?”
Oh Ki-hwan said with a smile at my words.
“What do you say?”
At first, it started as just a threat, but the job is easier than I thought and the money is many times higher.
With the addition of new manpower, there is more room for the hunters to start enjoying life.
Besides, aren’t they hunters who easily fell into temptation from the beginning and became addicted to drugs and gambling?
There are plenty of snow white fruits that the upper classes praise for their heavenly taste, can they just pass it on?
Naturally, they tasted the snow white fruit one by one, and in the end, most of them also fell in love with the snow white fruit.
Now, when I tell them to leave, it’s not strange to me to ask them to stay.
I said with a smile.
“It’s good.”
“However, it is a little difficult because the checkpoints have been strengthened these days. I haven’t been caught yet, but there are rumors that an x-ray checkpoint will be installed soon.”
“Hmm···”
x-ray checkpoint.
Of course, there is nothing that cannot be avoided.
However, the process only becomes more complex and difficult.
The best thing to do is to buy checkpoint officials.
After all, civil servants are also a kind of job to earn money.
Who is a public servant these days, united with patriotism for the country?
If you poke a few billions of dollars, someone will surely fall over.
The problem is that it’s hard to find anyone.
“I am friendly with the checkpoint staff. I’ll do some research to find out the name. You have to observe carefully, and if you find a good one, you have to pick one.”
Or there is a way to airlift it from overseas.
D-class dungeons aren’t just in Korea.
They send hunters to a country with a D-class dungeon among third world countries with poor security and airlift from there.
Countries that restricted the import and export of dungeon goods were gradually lifting the restrictions as the situation stabilized, so it is quite possible.
“All right.”

Money is piling up
As the population grows, the building continues to be built, but despite this, income exceeds expenditure, and funds accumulate.
“Anything worth investing in?”
If you think about it, there seems to be a tendency to neglect other things recently, focusing on snow white fruit.
Yin and Yang must be in harmony.
No matter how much money you make in yin, if you are going to use that money in the end, it is easy to launder money if you have a quantity of that size.
“Hmm… are there any new items to come out of the dungeon for a while?”
Some boss monsters have pretty decent by-products, but they’re too small to make a lot of money.
“Something that is routine and always necessary.”
I pondered for a moment, then said with my eyes wide open.
“···equipment?”
The quality of equipment has always been one of the important concerns of hunters because it is directly related to life as well as hunting speed.
Of course, we do not spare money on equipment investment, so if the quality is certain, the return is high.
But there was a problem.
“Am I competitive?”
I’ve never even worked in a machine shop.
Of course, there is no way to know how to make it and how to make it more efficient.
“Ummm…”
Of course, having a dungeon market and merchants has merit in terms of cost saving, but in the end what matters is the outcome.
I pondered for a moment, then said with my eyes wide open.
“I don’t necessarily have to set it up myself.”
If I don’t have the confidence to do it myself, it’s enough to find someone who is good at it.
“What famous makers have you had in your past life?”
From specialized weapons makers to armor makers, and other bizarre auxiliary equipment makers.
There were a lot of companies that dealt with hunter equipment.
Among such manufacturers, the company that reigned as one of the top manufacturers in Korea.
“Seyun Precision.”
Seyun Precision, which started as a small ironworks and grew into a leading equipment maker.
Now that the dungeon has just been created, Seyun Precision is still a small company.
What if you find the company and acquire it?
“No.”
I don’t know how the company grew.
If it’s different from the future after taking over at the best, wouldn’t it be futile?
“Equity investment? I don’t think it’s bad if it’s an equity investment.”
Hue is the goat
Great.
this is it
I went through the list I had made to select the company to request the gorilla equipment for the last time Jungin Guild.
“…isn’t it?”
taken from noblemt l
Most of them are relatively large companies, so Seyun Precision was not on the list.
I turned on the internet and searched for Seyun Precision.
“we are here.”
Seyun Precision.
The location is Seoul, and the representative is Jangseok Woo.
In a previous life, that Seyun Precision was right.
“great. Invest here.”
So I arrived at the place I found through an internet search.
“Hmm.”
Is it correct to call this a company?
Seyun Precision was literally just a small ironworks.
I carefully opened the door and went inside.
“Excuse me.”
Inside the ironworks, a middle-aged man was cutting iron plates.
The man who turned his head to my appearance and looked back at me.
It was Jangseok Woo, the representative of Seyoon Precision.
“who are you?”
I handed the business card to Jangseok Woo and said.
“hello. I am Jung In-soo, the representative of Jeong-in Development.”
“Development of Jeongin?”
Jangseok Woo, who took the business card, tilted his head and said.
“I’m hearing this for the first time.”
First time hearing this?
“It’s a company that pulled out other equipment, don’t you know?”
“Equipment?”
“I even donated that light bomb…”
Then Jangseok Woo shook his head and said.
“ah! I remember seeing that news. Are you a gentleman who does a good job?”
what.
you don’t know me
no way···
“So what did you come here for?”
“Uh…doesn’t Hunters make equipment?”
Then Jangseok Woo opened his eyes and said,
“Hunter gear? I don’t make things like that?”
Now I know why Jangseok Woo didn’t recognize me and wasn’t on the list.
It was because Woo Jang-seok was doing work that had nothing to do with this industry in the first place.
“···under.”
did you come too early
A person who has no intention of making hunter equipment in a small ironworks that even recommends investment.
‘It’s ambiguous.’
He must have jumped into the hunter equipment business for some reason, but I don’t know why.
At most, I invested money here, but with that money, I may erratically increase the size of my current business.
‘Should I wait a bit?’
Or do you change your first plan and hire Jangseok Woo?
However, there is no guarantee that Seyun Precision’s success is due to Woo Jang-seok.
Then the door of the ironworks opened and a man entered.
“father. What’s going on? There were a lot of people in black suits outside!”
“uh. Taehyung.”
is your son
Woo Tae-hyun hurriedly came in and blocked the front of Jang-seok Woo and said.
“What are you?”
“I am just a visitor. I have no intention of doing any harm.”
Taehyun Woo said looking at the bodyguards with me.
“If you think otherwise, you will regret it. My name is Hunter.”
huh?
Is your son a Hunter?
What the hell happened?
After all, your son is a Hunter, right?
Then the story will be a little easier.
I also handed Taehyung a business card and said,
“Nice to meet you. I am Jeong In-soo from Jeongin Development.”
Then, the son’s eyes widened to the size of a king drop.
“I. Jung In-soo?! Dangjin Jeong In-soo?!”
Also, Woo Tae-hyun knows him.
I said with a smile.
“Yes. I am Jeong In-soo. I came to visit my father for business, can we talk for a moment?”
