Relife Player 344

[Chapter 105]

[Catch Your Player]

November of the 10th year of the Seon calendar, not long before the 11th year of the Seon calendar.

In a situation where the situation was gradually stabilizing, an incident occurred that stirred up public opinion again.

[Breaking News] Myungwang Clan, defeated in the Clan War. Give the yolk land in Seodaemun-gu to the regional alliance clan… .

[Comprehensive] Seodaemun-gu Association “We will continue to maintain a 0% tax rate for residents.”

Seven clans that are rated as S rank in Korea.

Among them, the Myungwang Clan, which is rated as S+ along with Zenith and Regulus, was defeated by the Seodaemun-gu Alliance Clan in the clan war.

.

The story that the super-large clan that had dominated Seodaemun-gu until now was defeated by a small clan alliance was tantamount to bringing about the weakening of the Myungwang clan.

Even though it was only a few administrative districts of Seodaemun-gu, Seodaemun-gu was the yolk of the Myeongwang Clan.

Moreover, Seodaemun-gu could be said to represent the Myungwang Clan among the jurisdictional districts owned by the Myungwang Clan.

Some of those areas are lost.

It was obvious that the Myungwang Clan had a crack in its status, and other clans took advantage of this opportunity to rush to destroy the Myungwang Clan.

“I, Clanlord…, Eunpyeong-gu Alliance applied for a clan war for next month today. Also, small clans belonging to Myungwang Clan’s jurisdiction, such as Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, and Chungcheong-do, are showing a movement to form an alliance and apply for a clan war.” “…Yes…, I got it.”

Do Wan-jun, the 2nd zodiac <Gwansangsi> and also the Myeongwang Clanlord.

He listened to the report from the sub-lord and closed his eyes.

He leaned back against the back of his chair and raised his head toward the ceiling, feeling his heart choke.

I can’t believe that the Hongeun-dong area was taken away.

According to the rules of the Mana Management Organization, a clan with the qualification to manage local security had to accept another clan’s Clan War application at least once every three months.

A clan that had policing authority over a region could collect taxes for policing reasons within the region.

In addition, the representative clan could collect a certain tax rate from the clan belonging to the region.

It was a law that such rights could not be granted to only one clan.

However, Myungwang Clan showed their skills and won the clan wars.

Of course, until the Seodaemun-gu allied clan secretly incorporated a clan belonging to another district and applied for a clan war.

It was a very quiet operation, so even Do Wan-joon did not expect it.

There must have been collusion beforehand.

It is also not a coincidence that the Myungwang Clan started a clan war in another area at the same time to diversify its forces.

It was clear that someone was at work.

The problem was not knowing who the opponent was.

Super-large clans originally had many enemies.

“We also apply for a clan war in order to regain the lost area in 3 months.” “Yes, I understand. However, as the Clan Road and Seodaemun-gu associations lowered the tax to 0%, complaints from residents in the jurisdiction are growing rapidly.”

Sublord speaking carefully.

Do Wan-jun frowned.

In the meantime, the Myungwang Clan had entered into an agreement with the S-ranked clans and was collecting 10% tax to maintain public order.

A cost burden for residents.

However, in order to run a clan, it wasn’t that much of an expense.

The problem was that people didn’t think so.

“…It’s an obvious trick.”

Do Wan-joon scratched his head with a displeased face.

The ulterior motive of the Seodaemun-gu alliance was obvious.

While making the local people doubt the quality of the Myungwang Clan, they are trying to identify the Myungwang Clan as evil with public opinion.

At first, there could be dissatisfaction within the alliance because the tax rate was not collected, but the idea of ​​raising the tax rate at will was good in our eyes once the power of the Myungwang Clan was completely absorbed.

If you are a person who is blinded by money, of course you will.

In the end, how long you can hold out is the key… .

As Do Wan-jun knew, the Seodaemun-gu Alliance had invested quite a bit of money in this Clan War.

As long as it couldn’t collect taxes from the residents, the coalition could be said to be unable to use one of its important funding lines.

Rather, for Hong Eun-dong’s security, he had to work as a stage singer.

How far can the clans in the alliance last?

Will the players who have joined the coalition be able to maintain peace without any benefit?

“Allied bastards…, find out where they are getting their money from.” “all right.”

Do Wan-joon, who was deep in thought, said.

If there is a mastermind behind this plot, he will provide funding to keep the coalition from collapsing.

I had to find out who was behind them and drive them out, whether in the sun or in the dark. At the same time, I had to cut off the funding line.

Fortunately, Myungwang Clan was sponsored by the Youngwon Group.

The Youngone Group, which quickly grasps the flow of ‘money’, will not only be able to easily find out who is behind this incident, but will also be able to apply pressure.

However, Do Wan-joon, who contacted the vice chairman of Youngwon Group, had to bite his teeth.

The vice-president, who acts as the president’s representative on behalf of the president who fell into a coma, refused his request.

“…Are you saying you’re going to come out like that!? If the president knows, absolutely go…”

[See this? hey. What the hell are you talking to me like that, huh? Why are you asking us to help you after you’ve been beaten by dog ​​bones?]

“…”

[Are you still not able to grasp the situation? If you gave me money in the meantime, I would work for that price. What the hell are you doing! hang up!]

Currently, the Youngone Group is in the middle of a succession dispute.

Among them, the vice-president, who is regarded as the next president, had previously regarded the president’s shadow, the Myungwang Clan, as a thorn in the eye.

Therefore, the Vice Chairman is planning to use this opportunity to change the clan sponsored by Youngone Group.

These guys were related.

Do Wan-joon, who was pushing another successor in Youngwon Group, realized that he had fallen into a trap by the opposing forces.

[…] I am really sorry.]

And that the successor he was pushing for couldn’t do anything about this.

It seemed that even a weakness had been caught.

Do Wan-joon finally sighed and hung up the phone.

Starting this month, Youngone Group plans to drastically reduce its sponsorship.

For the time being, the Myeongwang Clan will not have any disruption to the clan’s operations, but considering the endless clan wars, the funds will quickly run out.

When that happened, the Myungwang Clan was over.

The clan he created with Bang Yeon-ji, a <Florist> who no longer exists in this world, disappears.

We have to find a way out somehow.

However, Do Wan-jun did not give up.

Even if behind the Seodaemun-gu Alliance Clan is the vice chairman of Youngone Group, his forces, and the support of other business groups that support them.

Still, I won’t give up.

King Myung (冥王), the king of the dead, never disappears.

If you guys want to come out like this—

Do Wan-jun opened the safe under the desk.

What was in the safe was the secrets that Youngwon Group had been hiding, which he had collected in preparation for such an event.

And stocks of each affiliate of Youngone Group secretly collected through borrowed-name accounts.

——Even the King will come out like that.

Do Wan-jun let out a spleen smile.

As if the paper in his hand was a list.

It was then.

A call came in.

Someone made a call to the smartphone that he had been calling.

“Who are you?”

unknown number.

He answered the phone and listened.

Before long, a still young voice came over the smartphone.

[—My name is Do-jun Yoo.]

☆

Player Academy regular meeting.

All the instructors in charge gathered in the conference hall were silent as they read the plans on the table.

“Grumble…”

someone grunted.

With that sound, several instructors broke silence and spoke.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to do that too?”

“Although the situation is like this, aiming for a chance to rebound with this…”

Currently, public opinion had a negative perception of Player Academy.

Besides, the trust in the player has not been restored.

In such a situation, news spread that the Myeongwang Clan had been defeated in a clan war by the Seodaemun-gu Alliance a few days ago.

The media packaged the defeat of the mega-clan as if it were an anecdote about Goliath being killed by David.

The Myeongwang Clan, which collected 10% of the tax, and the Seodaemun-gu Alliance Clan, which declared that they would work for 0% of the tax without pay.

Public opinion was saying that players should reduce the benefits they receive from the state.

So you guys don’t make good money? Then, have you been taking the 10% tax rate so far?

The Myungwang Clan and other super-large clans were being treated as tax thieves, and the Player Academy was also in a similar situation.

Just in time, a broadcasting station corresponding to one of the terrestrial broadcasting stations sent a program plan to the academy at such a time.

“No matter how much, let’s shoot a variety show…! Do you think we’re players or something else!?”

“You’re a different person…, you’re a celebrity. Ugh, I knew you were boring, but you could go out and talk like that and get stoned.”

“There are so many cases where players appear on broadcasts these days. Looking at that, I don’t think it’s too bad for players to appear on broadcasts.”

The intent of the program was to show players who they are and to give people a familiar image of them.

In order to emphasize ‘familiarity’, he said he wanted to feature high school seniors who are fresh and will soon go to active duty.

“Once it’s aired and the viewership ratings are good, let’s film it regularly. I don’t think it’s bad, right?”

“What is that? After all, I’m not saying that I’m going to use the kids as a material for ratings. If it’s fun, I’ll keep making it, and if it’s not interesting, I’m just going to throw it away, right?”

“I think it would be rather good. It’s an opportunity for high school seniors to imprint themselves on the public by showing their faces on TV.”

“Well…, you can’t just consider the positive effects. Haven’t you heard of the devil’s editing? If you do it wrong, you can appear on a broadcast and come out only getting cursed at. Then it might be traumatic for the kids.”

“But even children who haven’t been noticed will get more attention if this broadcast goes on.”

“Rather, I wonder why I hadn’t thought of this until now.”

There were instructors who opposed it, while there were instructors who supported it.

Just as they were filming a variety show about players for the first time, they carefully exchanged opinions.

“If it’s for public opinion… it’s the correct answer.”

“But in a way, aren’t we cleaning up the Myeongwang Clan’s dung?”

“…From what I’ve heard, it seems that it was a plan that came out before. Then, due to an incident that just happened in Hoengseong-gun, public opinion turned against the academy…”

“Huh? Looking at it now, there is also the fact that the 031st group, which will be additionally selected this year, appears on the broadcast in handwriting to heighten the interest of the people.” “I think that’s a bit irrational… but if you do something wrong, there’s a risk of being criticized for not thinking about dead students anymore.”

The debate continued.

without ending in either one.

In the end, they decided by majority vote.

The result of the vote with a show of hands—.

“—How does it fall so quickly?”

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not giving up… Ah, that guy didn’t do it.” “Hey, Lee Gukjong! What are you doing without raising your hands!?”

The votes for and against were equal.

The instructors looked at Lee Gook-jong, who had not raised his hand yet, who had recently become the instructor in charge.

Lee Guk-jong was perplexed.

You haven’t made a choice yet.

oops, i don’t know

The instructors’ eyes stung.

In the end, he raised his hand with the feeling of shouting and seeing.

on the positive side.

“—Then, we’ll give permission to film variety shows featuring academy students.”

The instructor who served as the representative declared.

A vote by one person decides whether or not to film the program.

“They say that while filming the academy students, they also film the inside of the academy… There won’t be any problems, right?”

“That’s something that needs to be thoroughly done in advance… and we also have a few things to prepare for. To show the audience what the students’ skills can be like…”

“But there are only 50 students participating, right? Maybe it’s because it’s a 4-week pilot program…”

“It looks like the announcement will be sent to the 3rd graders, and the production team will select the rest… Huh, really.

The instructors looked through the planning documents and checked how the entertainment program was structured.

Then, the production team found that the student they wanted was listed on the last page.

“‘I really want Ryu Yeon-hwa, Noh Eun-ah, and Han Chang-jin from <The Sid> to debut in the player industry next year.’… Did the rumors spread not only to the industry but also to the entertainment industry?”

“I don’t know if this is why celebrities come out of the academy.”

“”””ha… .””””

The instructors who were positive about the broadcast soon changed their expressions and sighed.

Let’s say that Han Chang-jin is like that.

The problem was Ryu Yeon-hwa and No Eun-ah.

“…I don’t know much about broadcasting, but I don’t have to worry about ratings.”

“To be honest, their visuals are no joke. Sometimes when I see them, it makes me want to be born with a face like them.”

“Yes, maybe you’d be better off being reborn… kuh…!”

“Anyway. I think it’s going to be a headache in many ways when the two of them appear on the air, but I think it’s better to talk to them in advance.”

The instructors all nodded.

Ryu Yeon-hwa and Noh Eun-ah’s looks were widely rumored in the industry.

Not only in the industry, but also in politics and business.

In particular, in the case of Eunah Noh, engagement proposals flew all the way to the academy.

… there will be no problem?

The instructors were a little worried.

It seemed better to ask the two of them in advance.

I feel like I have to make up my mind.

“But the broadcast seems to be interesting. If there was a broadcast like this, I should have looked for it right away.”

Actually, Lee Guk-jong was not worried.

He didn’t even think that he caused a storm.

Anyway-.

“Then I’ll have to post a notice.”
