029. Review
What makes a winning team?
This was the question I had been most concerned about before returning, and now I have a vague idea of the answer, but to some extent.
‘I can’t help but think this way because Hunter’s League is a 7v7 team game.’
Since each person has 1/7 of the stake, it is a difficult game to win alone.
And after much thought, this is the answer I came to.
First of all, a window that can lead any game situation to an unexpected situation. One crack. And top-tier players with skills that follow that crack.
That’s the base.
First of all, since I can be active here, I just need top-tier players who can match my abilities and breathing.
Of course, it doesn’t end there… … .
‘The rest is a matter of balancing abilities and tactics.’
Naturally, as a hunter, the most important thing is the superpower you have. It’s also important to have them in harmony.
Even if a team of 7 combines their superpowers and only has a powerful one-pattern attack tactic, they will still be in the top ranks. Of course, it would be difficult to win multiple times with that.
The real problem is that it’s really hard to get any more combinations than that.
It’s not like you can just recruit a player just because you want to, and the club’s financial resources are limited.
‘Then which team should I choose now that I have the overwhelming information advantage after returning?’
It was difficult to choose one team.
Each team has a different peak and their form goes up and down. It won’t be easy to keep moving to the team you want.
What I came up with after much thought was… … .
‘After all, the best thing is to have ‘my team’ where I can freely recruit players… ‘
If we do that, we will be able to build a team with great potential through a long-term plan by recruiting outstanding prospects.
The question is whether that is possible.
Since I’ve already gone through regression, I thought I might as well try creating a team.

“I… … We also have a deposit of 300 million won! Same thing. We will negotiate the annual salary separately. You can also say that you want more conditions!”
‘Is the upper limit 300 million won for the deposit and some options? … Actually, the money isn’t that urgent.’
Now that I have made up my mind, the important thing is not the amount of money. It is the question of how many team members I can bring in and form.
The problem is that even if you get pulled in once, there is a variable that means there is no guarantee that you won’t get out again…
Still, I think it would be better to just say what you want.
“Then how about this? I want to team up with the guys I want. Is that possible?”
At those words, most of the scouts’ expressions frowned.
Perhaps it is because it is a condition that is difficult to meet, even though it was expected to some extent.
‘The money is only for Lee Chang-hyun, and asking him to recruit the team members he wants… That’s impossible.’
Most of the scouts thought the same thing. That’s why no one was willing to speak up.
Phew… … Even though he showed outstanding skills, is this the end?
From their perspective, he may be unique and will likely do well until Part 3, but he is an unproven player to use in Part 2 and Part 1.
Of course, it would be burdensome to readily hand over something that falls under the team’s authority.
So the conversation after revealing that wasn’t very fruitful.
“… … I think that’s the end of the negotiations for today. If you change your mind at any time, please contact me.”
“Haha… … This is true. I’ll contact the manager and see if he can come up with better terms. I’ll contact him first.”
“Yes. Okay.”
After saying those words, the scouts who had been gathered in groups of three or four to chat started to rush out.
The scouts didn’t look that bright, probably because they couldn’t have imagined that a rookie would come out this strong.
‘Well… … If it were a normal rookie, that would be an exceptional treatment, but… … .’
It’s true that it doesn’t really have much merit for me. It’s something that can’t be helped.
‘… … .’
But there was one scout who did not leave and continued to endure.
Everyone else has left, so you’re the only one left. Do you have some kind of special offer prepared?
“Do you have anything else to say… … .”
“As you may have heard earlier, I am Lee Jong-gyu, a scout for Team PER… … I am contacting you separately because I think I can fulfill the conditions you mentioned to some extent.”
PER? What team was it? I can’t quite remember. It seemed like it was a team that barely had one team left in the 3rd division.
‘Part 1… … No, if it was even included in Part 2, there’s no way I wouldn’t remember it… … Anyway, it’s highly likely that it’s not a proper team… … .’
As his expression became subtle, Lee Jong-gyu continued to speak, fidgeting.
“We don’t have a large team budget, so we can’t offer as much in signing bonus as other teams, but one thing is certain: we can form a team centered around Chang-Hyeon.”
“You’re forming a team around me? Then what about the other players on that team?”
Even the teams that had unconditionally offered good conditions were shaken by that story. However, Lee Jong-gyu paid no attention and continued speaking with a bitter expression.
“Most of our team’s players will have their contracts expire next season. It is currently unclear whether they will renew their contracts. That is why we can actively listen to Chang-Hyeon’s opinions when recruiting new players for the team.”
Hmm… … That’s how it happened. It seemed like the team’s financial situation wasn’t that great. Well, it didn’t matter anyway. What they needed right now was the power to control the team as they pleased, rather than money.
“But actively listening to opinions… … is that too vague? Then, in the end, isn’t there nothing guaranteed? And… … are the only players I can bring if I want to be rookies? Then, in the end, it’s a team made up of only rookies… … What can I trust and go for… … .”
Of course, that doesn’t mean the conditions were all that good.
Because he vaguely presented me with conditions that were ‘pretend’ to be advantageous to me. Of course, it didn’t seem like he had any intention of deceiving me, but I had to get this straight and move on.
‘If I had considered this carefully before returning, I might have been able to participate without having to open ‘Mankai’ through a contract.’
Anyway, Lee Jong-gyu was lost in thought after hearing those words.
It seemed that the team situation was what it was, and that he had no greater decision-making authority. However, as if he still hadn’t let go of his foolishness, Lee Jung-gyu continued speaking urgently.
“Owner… How about meeting with the owner? Our owner is currently keeping a close eye on Lee Chang-hyun. He’s even telling us to bring him in no matter what the conditions are.”
When Lee Chang-hyun didn’t budge at those words, Lee Jong-gyu left his business card in front of Lee Chang-hyun and left.
“Then… … I hope you will consider it positively. Even if it’s just meeting the captain.”
“Okay, let’s think positively.”

Silence flowed through the private room where I was left alone.
A team that can choose one or two team members for a fairly large contract fee. Would it be better to have a prestigious team in the 3rd division, or a team in the bottom of the 3rd division that can intervene in the selection of new team members and gain real power from the team manager?
That would probably depend on what you’re doing.
‘Of course, it’s almost like it’s been decided what I should do.’
Lee Chang-hyun closed his eyes in quiet silence.
***
After thinking for a moment, the person I met outside was Kim Do-jun.
“How was it? Did you get a harvest?”
“Were you waiting?”
I didn’t really pay attention because I came into the private room alone, but it seemed like he had been waiting outside the whole time.
‘Or maybe Dojun also came out while talking about the contract.’
“Uh. Well, I’m a member of the Seoul City Academy, unless I’m going to be going this season. I was just waiting outside for a bit. Are you a free agent?”
“for now?”
“Have you decided on a team?”
“What are the conditions?”
Kim Do-jun’s eyes were shining as if my contract was his own.
‘Well… … it’s someone else’s business, but it must be interesting.’
I think I would have been curious too. Since we are both in the same industry, I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal to tell you.
“The signing bonus alone is 300 million won. The annual salary is separate. Isn’t this normal?”
“Wow… … sir”
Kim Do-jun couldn’t close his mouth.
I think it’s probably a bit different from the amount Kim Do-jun is receiving at the academy. That’s an institution for nurturing promising players, and this scouting incident is actually about putting him into actual play in the third division league.
“So, have you decided which team you’re going to join?”
“Well… … .”
That was still undecided.
I would like to pool my soul and money together through coins, stocks, lottery tickets, etc. to take over a team, but… … I didn’t have enough time.
Even so, to buy a team, you would need some seed money from the start, and there were a lot of problems to solve.
The only alternative is the PER that matches the new team members who are coming in as ‘rookies’ to me… … but I also have doubts about whether it is possible to form a decent lineup of 7 people with only rookies.
The conclusion was still a mystery.
“The conditions are that good?”
“As a special condition, I was asked to match up with a team member.”
That is, he wanted me to be completely at the center of the team, so it wouldn’t be easy.
Even among rookies, if you think they are capable, there will be competition to recruit them right away, so it will be difficult to select the player you want.
“Hey… … Are you crazy? No matter how hard you’ve worked, you’re a rookie and you want your teammates to adjust to you? What will happen to the other teammates?”
“So, it’s a tricky condition.”
“Ha… … Let’s stop talking. Let’s stop talking.”
Kim Do-jun seemed to think that I had set excessive conditions and lost out on other teams.
… … Excessive conditions?
‘If I think about it, it’s somewhat true, but… … .’
The point was, if I could show better skills, it could be a different story.
If he has only just now shown some special abilities and potential as a sniper, what if he is seen as a ‘real’ talent who is immediately a special starter in the 3rd division league, or even more than that?
Then, the team will definitely have no choice but to give weight to what I say.
I wondered if I had missed this simple thing. That’s what I was thinking.
“You have a point.”
“Are you finally going to give up that condition?”
It was kind of funny to see Kim Do-jun acting so cheerfully as if it was his own business. I don’t know if I should call it worry or meddling. Either way, he’s not a bad guy.
If you look at the compatibility, it was actually pretty good. For a sniper like me, a close range dealer like Kim Do-jun, who was strong and fast, was really good because he could give me an opening to attack with a quick sword.
“What do you mean give up?”
“then…….”
Kim Do-jun’s expression suddenly became strange.
“It’s simple. If you feel like you can’t meet my requirements right now, why don’t you just become more expensive?”
