Only I Level Up: Ragnarok - Episode 173
Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 173
Although there was a minor misunderstanding, Suho began negotiations with Lim Tae-gyu in earnest..
Suho's original plan was to buy back at a low price the dungeon access rights that the Shinigami Guild, which was struggling with a manpower shortage, could not handle..
However, there was a big variable here: the financial difficulties of the Reaper Guild had become much worse than Suho expected..
Lim Tae-gyu had already sold all of the dungeon access rights he had in the guild..
“……So there really isn't any.?”
“okay.”
“Not really at all?”
“That's right.”
Lim Tae-gyu explained the situation with a shy expression..
“Our guild decided to operate as a small mercenary group for a while. Most of the money from selling the game tickets was added to the cost of equipment..”
“…….”
Suho flinched slightly at this part..
The A-class weapon that Lim Tae-gyu lent to Su-ho before going to the Glacier Dungeon..
‘The 'Reaper's Bow (replica)' was taken by the ice elf Sirka who left with her mother, so there was no way to return it to her..
Fortunately, Lim Tae-gyu had no intention of asking for the bow back..
The reason he lent the bow to Su-ho in the first place was because his son Lim Do-gyun belonged to the Woojin guild led by Su-ho, so he gave it to him in the hope that his son would be safe at least a little..
They were willing to continue lending until Lim Do-gyun left Woojin Guild..
“okay. It just worked out well. Since you are now a guild leader, I will take this opportunity to briefly explain guild operation. Do-gyun, you are also the vice president, so listen to it..”
Lim Tae-gyu gave extremely practical advice to Su-ho and Lim Do-gyun..
The point was ultimately ‘money’.
“In the first place, for a guild to monopolize an entire dungeon, it requires a larger investment than expected. Needless to say, the place where the most money is spent is the right to conquer the dungeon..”
In other words, in order to win the fierce bidding competition between guilds, the financial power of the guild must be.
The more so-called ‘bullets’ there were, the more advantageous it was..
“However, purchasing a strategy ticket is not the end. Aren't you supposed to recoup your investment in that dungeon? To do that, it takes a lot of money again..”
“Labor cost?”
“okay. Seeing that you understand so quickly, I guess you've taken off the rookie look..”
Lim Tae-gyu nodded and continued his explanation..
personnel expenses.
In other words, the labor costs required to call in external services such as mining and collection teams were also significant..
Of course, most of those people were E or D level, so their ransom was not high..
But their number was not just one or two, and the bigger problem was that…….
“Those people must be given the day's wages in their hands when they leave work. However, if the guild's reserves become tight due to buying dungeon access rights, they cannot even think of calling for services right away..”
No matter how great a hunter he was, he didn't make money as soon as he entered the dungeon..
It was a structure in which money was deposited into the bank account only by selling the corpses of demon beasts, magic stones, and minerals acquired in the dungeon..
However, even if you dug up minerals in a dungeon, you could not sell them right away that day..
It took at least two days, maybe a few more days..
“From here on, it's a real business area, so it's a completely separate area from hunting monsters..”
Tae-gyu Lim's explanation was all correct..
But in fact, there was no need for Suho to worry about this..
In the future, Su-ho's uncle Yoo Jin-ho will take care of such chores..
“however.”
There was a reason why Lim Tae-gyu bothered to give these explanations to Su-ho..
“……I guess your guild doesn't need to hire services like other guilds do..”
His eyes turned to Guardian's shadow soldiers, who were frantically using pickaxes..
With a very helpless expression.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
[2article! I can see my hands! If the quantity is less than 1 trillion, it will be out of my hands.!]
[Kieeeeek! Where does someone like the eternal second-in-command come from?!]
[Ugh! That damn second-in-command!]
Quay and Ver were leading the shadow miners and engaging in a mining competition..
Lim Tae-gyu could not hide his dejected expression at the fierce and tremendous sight..
“……I knew well that he was a summoner, but I never thought he would be like this..”
While some people were going bankrupt in real time, it was just disappointing to see this guild gradually revive..
However, my feelings were complicated because it was a guild where my son was the vice president(?)..
Of course, if he found out that Quay, who was playing with a pickaxe more excitedly than anyone else in front of him, was the one who ruined him, he could have vomited blood right here and there..
Sometimes what you didn't know was medicine.
‘hmm. But was Suho able to summon this many summons even before??’
I couldn't help but suddenly have this question..
‘Were you hiding your power back then? There would be no reason to do that..’
It was impossible for Lim Tae-gyu to reach the truth that Su-ho was a special hunter who gradually grew as he leveled up..
Because such a thing was far beyond the realm of imagination in the first place..
Suho nodded and asked Lim Tae-gyu..
“Anyway, what you're saying is that there really isn't a single right to conquer the dungeon. So can you do me one more favor??”
“what request?”
“Currently, our Woojin Guild's reserves are 1 billion. Since I've already come down to Busan, can I buy a knight guild dungeon with this money??”
“You are asking me to act as an intermediary. That's not difficult.”
It was Lim Tae-gyu who quickly nodded at those words..
“On the contrary, that's what you want too.?”
his prediction was correct.
These days, there are quite a few dungeons in Busan that are difficult to clear..
Because of this, the Knights Guild was also experiencing a manpower shortage to the extent that it hired several mercenary groups, including the Reaper Guild..
As a result, it was possible to transfer the right to conquer the dungeon at a fairly low price..
“But will it be okay??”
“What?”
“Because of this incident, all the reporters in Busan are flocking to Haeundae to interview you. Moreover, in Busan city,…….”
“Oh, that's okay..”
Suho shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal..
and.
* * *
“thank you!”
‘……hmm?’
Park Jong-su, the president of the Knights Guild, was smiling broadly and holding Lim Do-gyun's hands and shaking them..
“Thanks to the hard work of the Woojin Guild, this situation was able to be resolved smoothly.!”
Wow-!
Along with that, cheers poured heavily towards him..
‘……Umm?’
“In that sense, on behalf of Busan City, I would like to give a plaque of gratitude to Hunter Lim Do-gyun, Vice President of Woojin Guild, for resolving this situation..”
“……?”
Suddenly, it was Lim Do-gyun who was receiving a plaque of appreciation from the mayor of Busan..
Papa papapapapang!
Camera flashes from all directions dazzled his eyes..
Lim Do-gyun thought.
‘Who am I?’
If you ask who it was, it was the Vice President of Woojin Guild..
‘Where am I?’
Busan City Hall.
In the middle of the event hall where appreciation plaques are awarded.
was the center of all spotlights.
Haeundae, off the coast of Busan, was one of Busan's core areas..
If this place collapsed, Busan could have suffered an economic blow in many ways..
However, Woojin's guild, who had solved the dangerous situation, said that they would 'specially' stay behind and attack more dungeons in Busan, and in the end, even the mayor of Busan showed up in person with a plaque of appreciation..
Of course, this kind of appreciation plaque was a useless item that did not make any money and could not be sold even in the second-hand market..
But it had its own meaning.
Now Woojin Guild can confidently operate in Busan City as a trustworthy guild directly certified by the Mayor of Busan..
“But it looks like CEO Seong Su-ho is very busy. Hehehe.”
“yes. Our boss is now in the dungeon.…….”
When asked by the mayor of Busan why the president did not personally attend such an auspicious occasion, Do-gyun Lim answered with difficulty, swallowing the feeling that he was about to cry..
Yes, it was a dungeon..
It was a shadow dungeon.
Seong Su-ho, who was supposed to be here, left all the troublesome work to Lim Do-gyun and suddenly went back to doing daily quests..
“Hehehe. Well, it's okay. Are the hunters busy for a day or two? Well, Vice President Lim Do-gyun, since the appreciation plaque awarding ceremony is over, please go to our office. We have prepared a contract related to conquering the dungeon..”
“……yes.”
“Oh, by the way, I heard that Vice President Do-gyun Lim is the son of Hunter Tae-gyu Lim? Perhaps because he takes after his father, he has a handsome figure..”
Lim Do-gyun, who was suddenly surrounded by high-ranking people, followed behind the knight guild leader with a face like a corpse..
in real time… … I was feeling dizzy.
However, in a completely different sense than Lim Do-gyun, Su-ho also faced a huge crisis..
* * *
“what…….”
Suho, who entered the shadow dungeon to do the daily quest, couldn't help but be scared..
Ammut, the master of Gangseojutsu,…….
[Hehehe. Can you feel the difference in power?.]
For some reason, Ammut was twice as big as usual.!
The pyramid is getting bigger too!
Moreover, for some reason, an unusual black ray of light was shooting out from the top of the pyramid..
However, the biggest problem was that Ammut did not just increase in size..
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo……!
[Then let's start training.]
“Now, wait a minute. It seems like the atmosphere has changed a lot compared to usual.?”
[Ah, nothing to worry about. Because I already got permission from your dad..]
‘What on earth!’
Nerves... … was written!
The state of the gravitational field pressing down on the entire body was also very unusual.!
At that time, from a distance away, Ver was nodding his head with an extremely happy smile..
[It's okay to go through hardships when you're young. As hard as it is, the reward is clear…….]
‘The reward is the same anyway!’
Suho was disgusted and started doing push-ups..
Tdu-duk-duk!
“Shut up!”
And both arms were broken at once..
Whirling!
Then, a bandage flew out and wrapped the arm, and today's Chi Gangseojutsu training began in earnest..
“Wow……!”
[Hahahahaha!]
And so the torture, or rather the training, twice as much as usual began..
[‘Skill: The level of ‘Toughness’ has increased.!]
[physical defense +140% → +160%]
Even when engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Xavier, his quiet tenacity skill improved immediately..
And after some time.
The reward arrived in front of Suho, who was lying on the floor like a rag with his limbs tattered..
[The following rewards are available:.]
Reward 1. Status recovery
Reward 2. Ability Points +5
Reward 3. 2 random boxes
“……The reward has gone up?”
The daily quest reward, which originally gave +3 ability points, was changed to +5..
There are also two random boxes..
But why?.
I wasn't thankful at all..
