Episode 137
Ricky Harlis threw the torn contract on the floor.
“It’s unfortunate. “I thought you would understand the ideals of our great nation.”
Chairman Jeong Zhi clicked his tongue as if he was truly disappointed.
“Please find another partner. “Of course, if we can withstand sanctions from the World Players’ Association.”
She said sarcastically, and that was the end of the conversation.
“Please return safely. “I won’t go out to meet you.”
As Chairman Zheng Zhi gestured, one player guided them.
Ricky Harlis and Taehyun followed.
I think I walked for about 15 minutes.
After passing several barriers, a huge space appeared.
All there was was a warp gate installed in a space the size of a laboratory.
Ten employees were watching them and manipulating the magic stone.
What was different from the general appearance was that the size of the warp gate was excessively large.
‘Chairman of the Zhengzhi Association. ‘You put a lot of effort into it, right?’
While Taehyun was thinking about that.
“This way.”
The man in charge of guidance extended his hand toward the warp gate.
When the ten employees activated the installed magic stones, gray magic power was activated.
“This is the warp gate leading to the Beijing branch. “Once you cross the gate, a representative will be waiting for you.”
Despite the man’s words, Ricky Hallis crossed his arms and quietly looked at the gate.
It was an expression that said he didn’t like something.
“Hmm~”
“Why are you doing that?”
The man in charge of guiding asked, tilting his head.
“hey.”
“… … ?”
“this. “Isn’t this the warp gate to Beijing?”
“that is… what… ?”
With an expression as if the man was saying something.
I winced.
I took a step back.
That was enough.
“I’m Ricky Harlis. This gate. No matter how you look at it, it’s suspicious, right?”
“What are you talking about… .”
Ricky Harlis clicked his tongue.
and.
puck.
Without hesitation, he kicked the man between his legs.
It is too fast to respond unless it is at the national power level.
There was no way that a man who looked like he was now B-level would be able to avoid such an attack.
“Ugh… .”
The man trembled, rolling on the floor without even being able to scream properly.
“Is this the crisis you were talking about?”
She looked at Taehyun and asked.
“Well, that could be possible.”
Taehyun shrugged his shoulders.
“Hmm… If you thought I was going to die just like this, I’m disappointed… “You can’t be stupid enough to fall into this trap in the first place, right?”
“Only you can do that.”
Taehyun’s words were sincere.
Ricky Hallis is called the world’s best magician.
Unless you are as skilled as her.
‘Even if we were informed of the danger in advance, it would be difficult to notice that something was strange.’
She was a woman with good sense.
Even though Taehyun did not reveal detailed information, he noticed that the gate in front of him led to the Guangzhou Dungeon.
“then. “I didn’t receive any special help, so I guess I’ll just assume there was no suggestion?”
“You’re more business-oriented than I thought.”
“After all, he comes from a country that represents capitalism.”
She smiled, thinking that she had regained control in her relationship with Taehyun.
at that time.
Beep- Beep- Beep-
The space began to close with an alarm sound.
As if this was unexpected, the ten employees shouted in a panic.
“W-what!!”
“It’s a different story!!”
“Chairman of the Association!!!”
“Open!!!”
“Why are you doing this!!”

“Hey, open the door!!”
A familiar voice came from somewhere as if responding to a call.
He was the president of the Jeongz Association.
[Surely he is the best magician.]
I couldn’t see his face, but I could tell he was laughing just from his voice.
“President of the Zhengzhi Association. Can you take responsibility for your actions now?”
[It’s responsibility. What do you mean?]
“oh. Have you forgotten who I am?”
Ricky Harlis asked in a somber voice.
He was implying that he could blow up the entire research center if he wanted to.
Not doing so was the utmost patience considering that it could escalate into a diplomatic issue.
However, Chairman Jeong Zhi had decided not to hide this any longer.
[Ricky Harlis. He is like a child who trusts in his own strength and is fearless. I give you one last chance. An opportunity to serve our great nation.]
“I guess I went senile for a while.”
She answered with a giggle.
[If you knew what the gate in front of you is, you would think differently, right? If they had gone in quietly, they wouldn’t have had to lose their lives… It’s a shame.]
“Tongue, President of the Association!!”
“Please save me!!”
“please!!!”
“Isn’t it different!!”
Unlike the shouts of the lab employees, Chairman Jeong Zhi’s voice was calm.
[It’s all for the good of the country. I will remember your sacrifice.]
“You’re crazy.”
Taehyun, who had been silent, shook his head and said.
[Didn’t you promise? I said I would show you Venom of Gray Disease. When I make a promise, I’m the kind of person who always keeps it.]
With those words, the warp gate was forcibly activated.
The magic power available in the laboratory was concentrated in a closed space.
Zuuuuu.
The gravitational force generated from the gate began to absorb the area.
“There are so many different things.”
Ricky Harlis gathered magic power in his hands.
The intention was to destroy the laboratory and leave like this.
but.
An unexpected message appeared before her eyes.
‘Can’t use the skill?’
“It’s a modified form of the skill ‘Black Hole’.”
Taehyun said, tracking the magic felt in the space around him.
The feeling of discomfort I felt the moment I came here.
That was because of the skill ‘Black Hole’ installed all over the place.
“Wow, it’s really varied. you. “Is there some way?”
Ricky Harlis asked expectantly.
If I continued like this, I would be forced to enter the dungeon.
but.
“no. I, too, was quite surprised by the current situation. “China’s capital is really scary.”
“… … .”
She glared at Taehyun as he emphasized capital.
A look of criticism as if it was because of the business talk a little while ago.
Taehyun ignored it and looked around.
‘Are these people overflowing with rotten money?’
Black Hole is a rare skill even among S ranks.
It would be a huge price just to have it contained in a relatively less powerful scroll.
It is not enough to implement something like that in the form of an installation in space.
The power felt seemed to be equivalent to ten scrolls.
I once again realized how much effort President Jeong Zhi had put into it.
‘If this continues, I will force your way into the dungeon.’
After being sucked in for a moment, there were five people left.
Jijijijijik.
I would plant my feet on the ground and hold on, but I couldn’t keep doing this forever.
However, you cannot just go into a dungeon and proceed with the strategy.
There’s an SS-rank monster over there.
If there was a ‘Gray Disease Venom’, it would be impossible to attack it with just Taehyun and Ricky Hallis in their current state.
‘no. Even if the strategy is successful, it is impossible to deal with the Chinese players outside one after another.’
It must have been a pinch.
If you didn’t know the true intentions of Chairman Jeong Zhi.
Taehyun took out two bottles of potion from his arms.
“These are potions worth 15 billion each.”
“… … ?”
Swish. Hwiik.
Taehyun threw the two bottles of potion into the gate.
After a while.
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
A noise came from the gate that seemed as if it would engulf the two at any moment.
Manpower began to weaken.
“What did you do now?”
“Nothing special. “This is a potion that lures the monsters in the dungeon this way.”
“what?!!”
Ricky Harlis shouted.
[What a crazy guy!!!]
The same was true for Association President Jeong Zhi, who was watching through a screen installed somewhere.
Are you trying to lure a monster by throwing two bottles of potion at the gate?
There’s no way something like that is possible.
They both thought that way.
But Taehyun thought differently.
‘thank god. There are guilds like Alchemist in New Korea.’
The near future.
Alchemist has grown beyond the top four guilds in New Korea and into the top five in the world.
Although their technological capabilities are not receiving much attention now, that knowledge was not going anywhere.
Tae-hyeon requested various special potions from Seo Sang-ik based on his memories from his past life.
It provided not only the cost but also the idea and possibility of the product.
Alchemist was slowly developing potions that met the needs.
Wooooow.
Along with the noise, something appeared at the gate.
[Chwiik?]
It was an orc with a gray body.
An E-class monster most often seen at the beginning of the Abyss.
The five employees who saw the appearance of the monster breathed a sigh of relief.
You cannot use skills with a black hole floating in the air.
But I thought I could handle something like an Orc.
“Oak?”
“I lived, I lived… .”
“Did God help me…?” .”
[Chwiik, Chwiik, human. Uncomfortable. Chwiik.]
The Orc, who had completely passed through the gate, looked around.
“In an unexplored dungeon… “There are orcs?”
Ricky Harlis muttered doubtfully.
“It’s probably not an ordinary orc.”
After a while.
“Do not come!!”
An employee threw a kick at an orc approaching him.
Although he was a researcher, he was a C-level awakened person.
At his kick, the orc’s body broke and flew away.
“uh?”
“You’re weak… ?”
“Is it really an E-rank orc…? ?”
The remaining four researchers looked puzzled for a moment.
[Chwiik. human. kill. Chwiik.]
Gray magic seemed to overflow from the orc’s body, and then attacked the body of the researcher who attacked him.
It was ridiculously fast.
“W-what!! away!!!”
The employee covered in magic struggled.
It was already a belated resistance.
Gray spots sprouted from his body and his eyes became bloodshot.
‘also. There’s no way something like an orc is still alive.’
Taehyun widened his distance as he saw the employee whose skin had turned gray.
The same was true for the other four employees.
They were distraught and scattered in all directions.
One of them reminded me of the identity of the orc.
“S-No way… Parasite?!!”
“A parasite?!!”
“Damn, avoid!! “It’s infected!!”
“Nonsense!!”
However, it was already too late.
The gray magic power that consumed the body of the C-class employee attacked the remaining four researchers one by one.
In an instant, five employees became hosts to the parasite.
Chairman Zhengzhi’s voice rang out once again.
[S+ grade monster parasite. It is a parasite that uses the body of another living thing as a host. He’s not someone you can deal with when you can’t even use his skills.]
Even though I was embarrassed by Taehyun’s sudden behavior just a little while ago.
It was Chairman Jeong who regained his composure with the advent of Parasite.
‘He’s definitely a troublesome guy.’
Parasite.
The power I have is nothing special.
If you don’t get rid of it at once with its persistent vitality, it will constantly become parasitic and repeat regeneration.
That’s why it was given an unusual grade of S+ even though it wasn’t grand.
Ricky Harlis clenched his fists with a stern expression.
As it is a magician class, it mainly relies on skills to fight.
However, in a situation like this, it seemed like close combat should be kept in mind.
“That’s fun.”
Taehyun, who was looking at the status window, grinned.
Even when there was a black hole, ‘predation’ could be used.
Ironically, you can’t use Predation right now.
Two new skills were flashing in the status window.
‘I don’t know what it has to do with it.’
There was no need to save.
Tiring.
[Skill Monster Eyes (AA) has been activated.]
At the same time, my vision turns red.
Taehyun’s eyes turned red.
