Leveling
26

Yoo Jinho was stunned.

"Hyungnim, I'm not even done yet."

I don't think I should listen to him anymore to get the gist of what you're asking for"

Jin Woo cut it off strongly.

It's not that he doesn't like Yoo Jinho.

He was strange, but he was energetic and sincere.

The young man was different from the image of a very wealthy heiress he had seen in the media.

However, Jin Woo has no intention of messing around as a Hunter with a rich boy, who

perhaps consider the Dungeon as a playground.

"Well, if that's all you want to ask, I'll go."

"H-hyunjinim!"

Yoo Jinho frantically tried to stop Jin Woo.

“Hyungnim! Just 20 times, no, just 19 times! ”

"To where? Dungeons? "

"Yes! I'll of course make sure you get a big compensation"

Yoo Jinho practically begged.

Jin Woo tilted his head.

There are two reasons why people become Hunters: Money or Duty.

Yoo Jinho doesn't seem to fit in with either.

The young heir doesn't need the money from Dungeons, and if it's a sense of duty that

taking him there, he would not ask others to do all the work for him.

Maybe he's looking for a bigger thrill than extreme sports?

Not strange, because he's a kid from a rich family, who has all the needs and

giving every refuge there, will become bored with a safe life and

uninspiring.

"I think there's a lot of people in this world"

This was Jin Woo's opinion of the young man until now.

But compared to what Jin Woo had thought before, he saw a light of determination

the strange thing behind Yoo Jinho's eyes.

"Did he have any other purpose?"

Instead of the “ decent compensation” the young man offered, which attracted Jin Woo's interest

is the specific number of the 19 Raid.

His mind began to plan something.

'Wait ... If the last Dungeon was his first Raid, and now he needed

nineteen more Raid ...'

Damn it can't possibly want to be ...

Jin Woo reaches a conclusion, and is stunned by it.

"Are you thinking of obtaining a Guildmaster License?"

"Yes, hyungnim!"

Fortunately, he did not order coffee.

He would definitely spit while drinking it, right now.

"You want to be a Guildmaster.You?"

"Well, it's complicated, hyungnim ..."

Yoo Jinho's face flushed even more than before.

"Please listen to me, hyungnim."

"..."

Confused about what he would do, Jin Woo lost his curiosity and sat back down.

"All right, let's hear it."

After all, the 1 hour he gave had yet to pass.

He was able to at least listen to the story of the young man.

Yoo Jinho followed him and sat opposite him again.

"As you said, I want to obtain a Guildmaster License."

It wasn't difficult for Hunter to obtain a Guildmaster License.

It could be obtained only after a Hunter performed 20 Raid times.

After meeting that requirement, Hunter only had to take a simple written test, the,

they will be granted a license.

Of course, no one wanted to join a Guild without a renowned Hunter, and if they were

unable to maintain the minimum number of members required for a Guild,

The guild will be disbanded.

Yoo Jinho continued,

"It hasn't been made public yet, but in reality, my father wants to create a Guild"

"Yoojin construction company wants to create a Guild?"

"Yes"

Yoojin Construction is one of South Korea's top construction companies.

Despite their name, their activities were not limited to construction only.

The company is known to have influence in many areas of business, and more recently, it has,

they even began to engage in Hunter-related business, and produce

much money.

"And such a company wants its own Guild?"

Seeing Jin Woo's interest, Yoo Jinho continued excitedly,

"Father wants to gather a powerful Hunter and develop a large Guild, and through

Guild, he wants to do all kinds of Hunter-related business"

If a company wants to run a business related to Hunter, a cooperation

Guilds are very important.

After all, it required the provisions of a large Guild to obtain the magic nucleus,

the corpses of monsters, magic crystals and other treasures from Gates Rank-B or Rank-A.

"So he wanted to cut out the middleman in the process."

"You're on target, hyungnim!"

With their strength, there would be no problem for Yoojin Construction to create a Guild.

The problem was who would manage that Guild.

"Right now, father wants to hire a Rank-S Hunter as a Guildmaster, and make an older brother

my man as a Guildmaster representative to operate the Guild as a business branch ... But ..."

Jin Woo caught a bit of what Yoo Jinho said.

Dad's current plan has minor flaws.

The strength of Guildmasters in Guilds was absolute.

If a dispute arises between the company and the Hunter they employ, it will

the destruction of their plans.

In that line of thinking, there is another option: make someone who will never

betraying that company, becoming a Guildmaster.

For example, the son of the chairman.

And Chairman Yoo Myunghan has Yoo Jinho as his son.

"... Compared to my brother, my influence or achievements are not enough to

become the Guild Leader.It is his idea to move the company towards the related business

with Hunter, and it has made huge profits for the company”

At the young age of 31, Yoo Jinho's older brother was already an accomplished businessman.

Compared to him, the younger brother of the man was only a 22-year-old university student,

putting aside the fact that he was a Rank-D Hunter.

It was clear that the chairman intended to hand over the affairs of the Guild to his eldest son.

While his elder brother was unable to become a Guildmaster as a non-Hunter, he was already

showed great results in business areas related to Hunter.

They will take risks against the loyalty of the hired Hunter.

"And you want to convince your father to make you the Guild Leader?"

"Yes, that's right, hyungnim."

If that young man only hired a high ranked Hunter and obtained a License

Guildmaster, that would be no different from purchasing a license.

But what if he went with low-ranked Hunters like himself and

completing 20 Raid?

This might move his father's heart.

Yoo Jinho has to show that he can lead the other hunters.

His gamble.

Once he became a Guildmaster, he could place an S-Rank Hunter as a Vice Guildmaster

and gather other skilled Hunters.

As long as one of the Guild leaders was skilled, it would be enough for the other Hunters.

For all this to happen, he needed 20 Raid.

Special with low rank Hunter.

“Hyungnim, please! I beg your help! ”

Yoo Jinho lowered his head deeply.

If it wasn't for Jin Woo, he would have lost his life twice on his first Raid.

Once from a spider, and the second from Hwang Dongseok.

He needed a reliable ally.

"I can trust hyungnim."

For Yoo Jinho, Jin Woo is a very honest person.

He was someone who would coldly kill his enemies without blinking, he said,

but it will not in vain threaten the lives of the weak.

Protective efforts that will not forcibly take something that is not earned.

Rank-E Sung Jin Woo is the perfect candidate for his plan.

But Sung Jin Woo doesn't need Yoo Jinho.

So he asked,

"What's in it for me?"

Yoo Jinho lifted his head and happily pulled out a manilla envelope

which he had prepared.

Inside is a blueprint for a building.

He handed it to Jin Woo.

“This is the building we will build for the Guild Office.The estimated value is about 30 billion won”

Although the Association did its best, it was likely that a Break Dungeon had always existed in the country.

Thus, the area where large Guilds maintained their headquarters had value

the ground increased explosively.

A person's life is the most valuable asset.

Even the presence of a small Guild nearby would increase their safety, and if so

Large guild?

“If I become a Guildmaster, we will use it exactly one year until the Guild becomes

then, I will submit this deed to hyungnim.Of course, we will confirm

agreement so that the company will not be able to withdraw in any way"

Building worth 30 billion won only for 19 Rank Gates Rank-C ...

Jin Woo smiled, though,

"Do you want to say that your value of becoming a Guildmaster is worth it?"

"That's right, hyungnim."

On that day in Dungeon Rank-C, Yoo Jinho learned that anything could happen in Raid.

Getting in with a weak Hunter could result in his death.

On the other hand, if he hired the famous Hunter, his father would not be convinced in any capacity.

But Jin Woo is different, he is a Rank-E Hunter who defeats Rank-C bosses and some

Hunter Rank-C alone, with no major injuries.

"Hyungnim is at least Rank-B. .. maybe even bigger."

With his help, going through 19 Rank-C attacks would be very easy

Guildmaster, 30 billion won't mean anything.

All that remains is Jin Woo's answer.

"I don't think he'll turn down such an offer."

Yoo Jinho carefully tried to read Jin Woo's expression.

'What should I do?'

Jin Woo falls into contemplation.

30 billion won.

That's a very large number.

If winning the lottery means one and a half billion won, he must win the lottery

20 Times to get that amount.

On top of that, the value of the building would only rise with the presence of Guilds operating from it.

Ordinary Hunter would immediately pick up the paper and sign the offer.

But Jin Woo is no ordinary Hunter.

“Only I can be like this”

He is the only Hunter who is able to keep growing.

As long as he continued his quest and leveling up, he would someday reach

S-Rank, no, higher than that.

"If I become a S-Rank Hunter, 30 billion is nothing."

Only the contract fee for Hunter Rank-S alone was already in the tens of billions.

No celebrity or sports star could compare to the value of the S-Rank Hunters.

This was a world where the number of S-Rank Hunters signified the influence and power of a country.

Thus, the treatment to the S-Rank surpassed imagination.

So at this moment, the most important thing for Jin Woo is not money, but progress.

And to grow his strength, being alone was the best.

"I must minimize the unknown factor"

Hunting together would reduce his experience points, and it would also be difficult to act on

under the gaze of others.

Even in the last Dungeon, he had to make sure Yoo Jinho was quiet to make sure he wasn't

something's bothering him.

There will also be headaches to match his schedule with his teammates.

No matter how he looked at it, his shortcomings were too much.

"I can always get more money."

Regretting, however, Jin Woo decides to decline the offer.

'Wait.'

Suddenly, he thought of a way to earn money and ensure its growth

at the same time.

"If I could do that ..."

He raised his head and found Yoo Jinho's nervous eyes staring at him.

Jin Woo slowly opened his mouth,

"I have one condition."

Yoo Jinho's face was immediately filled with happiness,

"Whatever it is! Tell me, hyungnim! ”

Jin Woo wonders if he will still smile after hearing her condition.

He held his own smile.

"Only you and I.Only the two of us will enter Dungeon”

"Huh?"

Yoo Jinho was shocked.

"H-hyungnim, forgive me if I'm wrong ... But did you say that it was only you

and I'll clear the Rank-C Dungeon?"

"You've got it."

Yoo Jinho's face paled like snow.
