Episode 160

Things were progressing steadily.

It was all thanks to the emergency press conference.

After the press conference, the association people respected Suho but also kept an eye on him. Although Suho was already popular, he had now become almost like a ‘hero’, so they could not treat him carelessly.

The most representative change that resulted from this was the work environment.

For example, it was not only impossible to give unreasonable instructions, but it was also difficult to arbitrarily reject Suho’s suggestions if they were for the good of the people.

It was exactly the situation Suho wanted.

So, the projects proposed by Jeong Cheol-min were also largely passed.

I’m talking about things like the training of the Special Agent 2 Team’s exploration team members through Infinity.

Of course, support came from Nexus.

The application for the Okay support from Office Manager Kim Ik-gang was covered immediately after application, and Nexus was able to build a good image once again through this opportunity.

– As expected, number one in the industry.

– Nexus has been a pioneer ever since they brought An Su-ho in ㅋㅋㅋ

– What are Hexagon and Prime doing these days?

└ Don’t compare me to those hole-in-the-wall stores.

└ Hexagon and Prime ㅋㅋㅋ So small level ㅋㅋㅋ

But the greatest achievement among them was the Seal Gate conquest project.

After receiving the project report, the head of the detection department, Maduwon, furrowed his brows and asked back.

“… … You’re going to attack the Seal Gate?”

“Yes, Deputy Manager An Su-ho will be running in person.”

“Yes, Deputy Manager An Su-ho will run himself, but he won’t run alone.”

“No, Deputy Manager An Su-ho will run alone.”

“What? Wouldn’t that be too dangerous?”

“It’s more dangerous to go with your teammates. And you don’t have to worry too much because I will conduct a thorough analysis with you and try to come up with a strategy.”

“No, the Seal Gate is a place that other large guilds gave up on because they couldn’t analyze it, so what are you two going to do… … No, that’s right. If you’re doing a good job, why would I bother? You already conquered two places?”

“Yes, that’s right. If you look at the Dark Valley we conquered last time and the attached data… … .”

“No, no, that’s fine. I’ll give Deputy Manager An Su-ho authority as well, so tell him to go about his business comfortably from now on.”

“thank you.”

Originally, it was a sealed gate that could only be entered upon the order of Jeong Cheol-min, but now Su-ho also has direct authority.

In other words, now whenever and wherever Suho wants, he must immediately open the Seal Gate door.

That wasn’t all.

Gaining authority over the Seal Gate also allows you to decide whether or not to be notified of the results of your raid.

This was a bigger deal than I thought.

The fact is that in some cases, it can be used as a strategic card to attack the Seal Gate.

So, we have placed embargoes several times so far.

‘At this point, it’s almost as if all the problems have been eliminated.’

There’s even a bill being pushed to change the ownership of loot, so once the bill is changed, all the restrictions will really disappear.

That’s why Suho decided to start doing things he had been putting off.

It all started with stats.

“Check the status window.”

[ An Su-ho ]

– Lv: 112

– Class: Crusader

– Trait: <New Blood><Hercules Candidate>

– Strength (O): 38

– Stamina (O): 14

– Horsepower (O): 31

– Sense (R): 77

– Bonus stat: 0

The level is already 112.

But the stat colors haven’t been unified yet.

Of course, this alone was an incredibly fast growth rate, but that was by the standards of the average person, and by Suho’s standards, it felt a bit slow.

‘I guess I’ll have to redistribute my stats first.’

At this point, stat redistribution can only be done by borrowing the power of items.

And since Suho knew how to combine the items, he immediately called Choi Yoon.

– … … Is that all you need?

“Yes, for now.”

– Okay, I’ll look into it and get back to you.

“Thank you. I’ll wait for your call.”

– Oh, and by the way.

“yes?”

– You were great at the press conference.

Choi Yoon’s praise.

Suho chuckled at those words.

“Yes, thank you. Can I have your autograph?”

– Oh my, what about the autograph? I’ll take back what I said about it being cool.

Choi Yoon quickly hangs up the phone at Soo Ho’s prank.

Suho smiled and turned his gaze to the pile of documents in front of him.

I plan to do something else while waiting.

‘There’s a lot to do.’

Stat redistribution items are items and work is work.

In particular, since there were a mountain of things to take care of in addition to conquering the Seal Gate, Suho began adjusting his schedule for maximum efficiency.

How many hours had passed like that?

When the outline of the schedule adjustment was somewhat visible, I received a call from Choi Yoon again.

– I found them all.

“Already?”

– I’m Choi Yoon. This isn’t even my job. But there’s a problem.

“What’s the problem?”

– I think I can get two of the three items you mentioned, but the remaining one seems a bit difficult.

“What’s the remaining one?”

– The gavel of a foolish judge.

“Why is there a difficulty level?”

– I found the only owner in the country, but he doesn’t want to sell it.

“Why?”

– I just don’t want to sell it.

To create a stat redistribution item, you need three items.

1. The Strange Sociologist’s Bookmark

2. The eraser of a scolded civil servant

3. The gavel of the stupid judge

None of them have any special functions.

Like the ‘Nameless Thief’s Socks’ that I collected while making Muumuu in the past, these items were just concept items with no options or anything, and were called collectibles by the world.

Because it looks pretty even though it doesn’t have any options.

‘Collectible items are literally similar to collecting pretty props.’

Suho asked.

“Is the owner by any chance a hammer collector or something?”

– Huh? How did you know?

“Then that’s right… I’ll meet that person in person and negotiate.”

– hmm…….

“Why are you like that?”

– It’s okay if we meet in person, but please don’t let our names be mentioned during the contact process. The hammer owner is someone who is in a competitor company to our guild. And he’s a high-ranking official.

ah.

Only then did Suho understand why Choi Yoon had said it was difficult.

– If it were a normal person, I would have tried to negotiate somehow, whether it was giving money or something, but since it was the other party’s agency, it was hard for us to do anything. Our relationship with them is not very good.

okay.

From the perspective of the union, a group that values individual interests above all else, it would not want to cause trouble with a competitor over a simple transaction.

Even if the client is the swordsman An Su-ho.

Suho asked after thinking for a moment.

“What is that person’s name?”

– My name is Song Kang-cheol. My affiliation is Raid and my rank is Vice President.

Song Kang-cheol.

After searching through his memories, Suho was able to recall who he was.

‘Yeah. Come to think of it, there was a guild called Raid.’

If Union is the largest underground guild in the country, Raid is in second place.

Of course, it was only ranked second, but its scale was similar to Union.

Then, later on, there was a great war between Union and Raid, and from that war onwards, Raid went into decline and was eventually completely absorbed by Union.

Suho asked.

“Was there no one else besides Song Kang-cheol?”

– Yes, I checked all the shops and private transactions in the country, and there definitely weren’t any. It’s common sense that collectible items are almost always discarded if there’s no demand for them.

“Have you tried contacting Song Kang-cheol?”

– I tried to do it indirectly by having someone do it. But that person was such a hammerhead that he would never give it up. So I couldn’t negotiate any further and just gave up. That person’s wit was so amazing that I knew that provoking him for no reason would only end up being disadvantageous to the deal.

“So anyway, you can’t save me the hammer?”

– Sorry. Even our CEO won’t allow this. No matter how much I pay, I get tired of being involved in raids.

Suho thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

“Okay, I understand. But you’ve worked hard. I’ll meet that guy named Song Kang-cheol in person. But can you at least give me his position?”

– That’s not difficult. But as I said before, our name is missing from this deal?

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

– I’ll send you the address by text.

Suho has a favorite saying.

Knock and it will open.

Even if a collector has a strong desire to collect, wouldn’t there be room for negotiation if it’s a guardian with whom he has no emotional relationship, rather than a union?

furthermore.

‘Is there anything in this world that cannot be done?’

No matter what, it’s the person who has the hammer.

If the interests are aligned, I will definitely pass it on.

‘In fact, I will accept it even if our interests do not match.’

Soon, a text message containing Song Kang-cheol’s location arrived on Su-ho’s cell phone.

***

The place Suho, who had finished preparing, drove to was none other than Euljiro.

Raid’s headquarters was located in Euljiro, and Suho got out of the car after changing his face with the reverse technique.

Then, as they headed to the Raid headquarters building, the staff at the front desk on the first floor welcomed Suho.

“What brings you here?”

“I came here because I wanted to meet Vice President Song Kang-cheol.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“No, I just came to find you.”

“wait a minute.”

The front desk staff made a phone call to someone, nodded a few times, and then spoke to Suho.

“I’m sorry. It’s our vice president’s policy not to make sudden visits.”

also.

Because of the location, I thought we wouldn’t meet right away.

Suho said, handing over his business card.

“I’m here on behalf of Mr. An Su-ho. Will it still be difficult?”

“An Su-ho? Are you the swordsman An Su-ho?”

“yes.”

The female employee’s eyes widen when she sees Suho’s business card.

Then I called again and a few minutes later I got a positive response.

“Please come up.”

Suho smiled at the permission that came right away.

As expected, the power that business cards have in society is great.

Suho boarded the elevator with the guidance of a female employee and was soon able to get off at the floor where the vice president was.

The elevator was directly connected to the office, not a hallway.

It was the moment Suho got off the elevator.

Ss …

The sound of rushing wind.

It was something that came from the sky.

Suho instinctively avoided it.

thud!!

A large hammer struck the spot where Suho had been.

Suho, who had avoided the hammer, narrowed his eyes and asked.

“What is it?”

“Oh, you’re avoiding this?”

Muscular body with bushy hair.

The yellow gold teeth that were placed instead of fangs on the sunglasses were the same as those on Song Kang-cheol that I saw in the Library of Memories.

He said, lifting the hammer again and resting it on his shoulder.

“I tested it to see if some kid would sell the name of the swordsman, but it seems he’s not really an idiot. What about you?”

“Isn’t that too rude? I should have clearly revealed my identity.”

“Is that the swordsman’s business card or yours?”

An unexpected answer.

I see.

You could think of it that way.

Su-ho, who understood Song Kang-cheol’s way of thinking, nodded and summoned the club.

Song Kang-cheol asked after seeing Su-ho’s club.

“What are you doing?”

“proof.”

“what?”

“Prove it, you ask? If you get beaten up, you’ll admit it.”

“Haha! You’re a funny guy? Okay, I’ll gladly accept that challenge.”

At that moment, without saying who would go first, the two people rushed at each other.
