Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 180
180. Unexpected guests
Min Do-jun asked with a puzzled look at the face he was seeing for the first time.
“Who are you?”
“Hello. I am this kind of person.”
The person speaking awkward Korean handed me his business card.
When Min Do-jun received the business card, a strange thought came to his eyes.
‘Overlord Guild Sales Team Leader?’
The name didn’t catch my eye.
Just by looking at his title, Sales Manager, I could tell why he had come.
‘Did the Overlord Guild come to recruit me?’
Min Do-jun also knows a lot about the reputation of the Overlord Guild.
Because it was a guild that maintained the undisputed number one position even before the regression.
Number one not only in the US but worldwide.
Perhaps that’s why the sales manager’s face was overflowing with confidence and composure.
“Are you Hunter Min Do-jun?”
“yes.”
“That’s my business card. You see? The Overlord Guild wants you.”
Min Do-jun, who was frustrated with his awkward Korean, spoke in English.
“If it’s going to be like this, you should bring an interpreter.”
“Huh? You speak English?”
“yes.”
It wasn’t just the other person who was surprised by his fluent English skills.
“Wow. Mr. Dojun, you speak English well!”
When Hong Se-yeon praised me with a flushed face, I felt embarrassed for some reason.
“Let’s go in and talk.”
He opened the door to the guild office and let the two men in.
“Wow, this is Dojun’s guild. It’s done so neatly.”
Even though Hong Se-yeon was drunk, she walked around the office and looked around.
Meanwhile, Min Do-jun guided an unexpected guest to the sofa.
“Please sit down.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“So, what is the purpose of your coming to me?”
I had a rough idea, but I asked to make sure.
The sales manager spoke with a much more relaxed expression than when he spoke Korean.
“We would like to recruit a hunter to our Overlord Guild.”
“Is that why you came all the way from America to our guild?”
“Yes. I tried to contact you in advance and come see you, but you didn’t answer. So I bought a ticket to Korea right away. I didn’t even realize it was dawn in Korea. Haha… … .”
“If that’s the case, why don’t you stay at a hotel and come back when it’s daylight? Why are you standing in front of the guild like this?”
“If our guild leader is going to wait, why don’t you wait in front of the door? That would show your sincerity… … .”
‘What’s the point? You look so pathetic.’
Min Do-jun, who clicked his tongue inwardly, did not fall for the other person’s intention of making him feel needlessly sorry in order to steer the conversation in a favorable direction.
“Have you ever heard of our Overlord Guild?”
“Yes. He’s famous.”
It is a well-known fact among most hunters that Justin Walker, ranked number one in the world, is a member of the Overlord Guild.
“So do you know how much Justin Walker was offered as a signing bonus?”
“no.”
The sales manager held up two fingers.
“200 billion. This is the amount offered as a deposit for a mere two-year contract. The conditions are 9 to 1.”
“… … .”
“But if you come to our guild, we will give you exactly twice that amount, 400 billion. This is an unprecedented amount no matter where you go.”
The sales manager raised his two fingers to four and examined Min Do-jun’s expression.
‘You’ll definitely be surprised.’
But Min Do-jun’s expression was indifferent.
The sales manager was rather embarrassed by that sight.
‘You weren’t surprised when he said he’d give you 400 billion? Hey, no way. You must have a poker face… … .’
Although he rationalized that it was just a poker face, Min Do-jun wasn’t really surprised.
It wasn’t what I expected.
It was simply because I had no attachment to money.
‘If I have money, it will overflow, so what does it matter if I get hundreds of billions?’
In a situation where he already had legendary items worth hundreds of billions of won and EX-grade weapons that couldn’t be bought with money, there was no reason for Min Do-jun to be tempted by money.
‘But if it’s the Overlord Guild, I guess I’ll have to think differently.’
What moved me more than the money was the fact that it was a guild that Justin Walker belonged to.
‘It’s not a bad idea to move to a guild for revenge.’
If you join the guild, you’ll be able to meet your target of revenge, Justin Walker, more often.
‘It’s still too early, though.’
The sales manager folded four fingers with an embarrassed expression as he looked at Min Do-jun, who was not responding.
“No, I guess you’re not surprised?”

“What do you mean?”
“I’m talking about the deposit. A huge sum of 400 billion won is unprecedented in history… … .”
“Aren’t you giving it to me because I’m worth it?”
“… … .”
“Besides, I already have a guild that I founded. So if you ask me to come to another guild, does that mean I have to close down my guild?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Considering that penalty and my future value, it’s only natural that they’d ask for 400 billion won. It’s not surprising.”
The sales manager couldn’t help but feel bewildered by his confident, almost arrogant demeanor.
‘Does the guild leader really think this guy is worth twice as much as Justin Walker?’
If you give this much money to a newbie in a small country like Korea, you wouldn’t even be able to say thank you, but you would have such an arrogant attitude.
‘Is being number 1 on the Infinite Tower that great?’
I know you beat Justin Walker, but wasn’t that just a simulation against a hologram?
I thought it was a hasty decision to double the deposit just for that reason.
‘It’s not like it’s my money… … .’
All he had to do was to complete the contract with the hunter in front of him as instructed from above.
‘400 billion… … I’m jealous.’
With that much money, any hunter in the world would have no choice but to join.
As he thought about that, the sales manager unconsciously took out the contract from his bag.
“This is a contract. If you sign your name here, 400 billion will be deposited as per the terms… …”
“What are you talking about? I haven’t even said anything about signing up yet.”
“Huh? Oh… … I made a mistake. But aren’t you going to sign up anyway?”
“Think about it.”
Min Do-jun thought deeply about what he said.
‘There’s no point in signing up right now and meeting Justin Walker.’
If you can’t even beat Shin Kyung-min right now, there’s no way you can take on the world’s number one ranked player.
‘It’s too early to meet him.’
If you want revenge, it won’t be too late to meet up after killing the other five people except Justin Walker.
‘The fact that the Overlord Guild approached me first must mean that they saw the Infinite Tower’s records. As a result, they set my value at twice that of Justin Walker.’
Then, even if time passes and your value decreases, at least you will have a place in the Overlord Guild.
‘If that’s the case, there’s no need to rush in now.’
Whether it’s now or later, if you can get in, it’s better to go prepared.
“I was just thinking about it.”
“yes…….”
“I will hold off.”
“Huh?”
The sales manager opened his mouth in surprise, as if he had assumed I would sign up.
“Does that mean you’re not going to join?”
“No. It’s not that I won’t do it, it’s that I’m holding off. It’s not that I don’t plan on doing it, but not right now.”
“Can I ask why?”
“It’s been a while since we created the guild, so I think it’s too early to move. Also, since this is such a sudden offer, I’ll have to think about it slowly. I’ve been so busy hunting these days that I don’t have time to think about it.”
“Well, then the conditions can change? The 400 billion is just for when you sign up now, but later on… … .”
“Even if that happens, there’s nothing we can do. We’re moving guilds, so shouldn’t we be careful?”
“still…….”
The sales manager continued to persuade me, as I could not return empty-handed after coming all the way to Korea.
But Min Do-jun’s stubbornness was strong.
“I have nothing more to say.”
“… … .”
“Once I make a decision, I will contact you first.”
The sales manager sighed inwardly as he returned with only the mediocre result of a hold.
“Okay, then… … .”
He took the contract and went out the door, glancing at Hong Se-yeon.
“I’ll be going now. Hunter Min Do-jun. Have a good time with your girlfriend… … .”
As I turned my head after saying those words, I felt a hand grab my shoulder.
“This person is not your girlfriend, but the master of the Baekryeon Guild. If you’re going to talk, then you must know something.”
The sales manager’s face turned grave as he felt strength in the hand that was holding his shoulder.
“Ah… … I, I was careless. I’m sorry.”
“I just stopped by after finishing up some business, so please keep your mouth shut so no rumors spread.”
“Yes, yes. Of course.”
As Min Do-jun let go of his hand, the sales manager, who had been bowing, hurriedly disappeared.
‘I have to make this clear. There was almost a misunderstanding.’
As Min Do-jun returned to the office, shaking his head, he saw Hong Se-yeon sleeping on the sofa.
‘When did you fall asleep again? Tsk.’
Min Do-jun, who clicked his tongue, took out a blanket from the storage room and covered her.
It was a blanket prepared in case you ended up sleeping in the guild.
‘I’m going to kick the blanket off in the morning.’
Min Do-jun also brought a blanket and lay down on the sofa across from him to sleep.
If you want to conquer an S-class dungeon, it would be better to save up some stamina.
* * *
The Overlord Guild was a world-famous guild, but behind it all was the number one ranked guild, Justin Walker.
Justin Walker’s popularity has skyrocketed, with many people flocking to the Overlord Guild to see him.
But it was a huge mistake to think that you could see hunters when you went to the guild.
Most hunters would head straight home after finishing a raid, and Justin Walker was no different.
There is no reason to stop by a guild where there is nothing to do.
Justin Walker has returned to the guild after a long time.
Because there was a call from the guild leader.
“Are you here?”
Guildmaster Adam waved his hand at Justin as he entered the room.
“Why did you call me?”
“Are you always so stiff when you see me? Do you have to call me only when something comes up? I just called you to talk. Please sit down.”
“… … .”
Justin sat down on the sofa obediently at Adam’s words.
“Are you hunting well these days?”
“yes.”
“I heard before that he single-handedly fought off dozens of them and saved the advance party from danger.”
“yes.”
“You did well. But don’t overdo it. If you do that and get hurt, who will suffer?”
“It was my loss. But I didn’t push myself too hard. Thanks to that, I was able to monopolize the experience points.”
“Is that so? Well, that’s good. Hunters, your body is your asset. Please try not to overdo it as long as you don’t get hurt.”
“I will do that.”
“by the way…….”
Adam slowly brought up the main topic.
“Have you heard the news?”
“What news?”
“You haven’t heard yet. The number one ranked player in the Infinite Tower. We’ve decided to recruit him to our guild this time.”
“… … .”
“I also bet twice as much as Justin’s deposit. It’s confidential, of course, but I think it’s worth it.”
“Why are you telling me that? You can just do as the guild leader wishes… … .”
“I thought I should tell you in advance because you might feel bad if you hear it from someone else.”
Just then the cell phone rang.
Adam smiled when he saw the caller.
“You’re the sales manager. I sent you to Korea to recruit that hunter as soon as possible. I was thinking of calling you anyway, but it looks like you’ve successfully concluded the contract.”
Adam, who answered the phone, said with a cheerful expression.
“What happened, Michael? Of course you got the contract, right?”
-That, that’s… … .
The sales manager, prepared to be scolded, reported in detail the conversations he had with Min Do-jun.
It didn’t take long for Adam’s once bright expression to harden into stone.
“I see. I understand.”
Justin asked, watching her hang up the phone with a stern expression.
“Why are you doing that? Did you refuse the contract?”
“No. I put it on hold.”
“hold?”
“They say they want to make a careful decision, but… doesn’t that mean they actually don’t have enough money?”
“400 billion is not enough?”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have put off the opportunity to join a world-class guild, right? You have pride, right?”
Adam, who thought it was some kind of secret meeting, made a displeased expression.
“It’s unfortunate, but Hunter Min Do-jun will regret his choice for a long time. When it comes to pride, we’re no pushovers either.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I have no intention of raising the price. I have no intention of adjusting it to your needs.”
“then……?”
“I heard that our guild members received a group text message saying that Hunter Min Do-jun will be joining as the final party member.”
“That means… … .”
“It just so happens that the two of us are going to conquer the same dungeon. It makes things easier. Hehe.”
Adam picked up the cell phone.
“I need to contact that guild member right now. I have something I need to entrust him with.”
“What are you doing… … .”
Instead of answering, Adam smiled meaningfully and called his guild member.
