Episode 19
Association (2)
“if… “Are you not willing to work for your country?”
“yes. Absolutely not.”
I answered straight away without thinking for even a second. Sanghee just blinked, as if he had never thought that the answer would come out so immediately. But he soon came to his senses and spoke to Jeong Do again.
“No, let’s at least listen to the story… .”
“Oh, I don’t. I will not. “There is no work.”
Sanghee couldn’t understand such a fierce rejection. No, why on earth do you just say no without even listening to what I say? It is said that the younger generation has a strong tendency to think negatively about the country, but I never thought they would reject it to this extent.
At that time, Seongtae, who was watching from the side, spoke up.
“I guess it’s because of mandatory duty.”
“ah!”
Compulsory work.
If you become an employer belonging to the state, you are required to work for the state for 3 years. If you listen to this point, you might wonder what kind of crazy person would want to belong to a country, but surprisingly, the number of users belonging to a country is large.
Of course, in the early days of the cataclysm, there were very few users who wanted to belong to a nation. In very rare cases, unless a person was deeply patriotic, he or she would choose a hundred guild. It was said that as employment difficulties continued, more people were taking the civil service exam, but that had nothing to do with employers. Employment difficulties are literally stories of people who cannot find employment. There were guilds everywhere that needed users.
Users preferred guilds where they could earn much more money and choose what they wanted to do on expeditions. However, just because the guild only chose what it wanted to do, the country could not do the same. Even if it was something that others avoided, someone had to step up and do it if it had to be done. That was the role of the state.
But there weren’t enough users to do the job. Because they all went to the guild. So, after careful consideration, the government came up with a policy.
If you become a user belonging to a country.
Awaker fee of 300 million won waived!
Of course, there were some strict conditions attached, such as having to have at least one year of experience working at the same company, but compared to the barrier of 300 million won, it was like nothing. The announcement of this policy attracted a large number of people who wanted to become users but did not have money.
Naturally, the guild complained. What kind of discrimination is this! Do you think that someone saved 300 million won because it was easy?
However, after the news came out that users belonging to the country would be required to serve the country for three years, complaints disappeared. No, rather, I began to feel sorry for users belonging to the country. In particular, people who had completed military service supported the government’s policy, saying, ‘This should be recognized!’
In any case, this is how the country was able to solve its manpower shortage. Although there was a perception that users belonging to the state were slaves.
The reason Jeong Do gave up his studies was because of his image as a slave. He had also served in the military. They were the last generation to serve compulsorily!
Sang-hee spoke calmly to Jeong-do again.
“Calm down user. “I think there is a misunderstanding, but since the employer has already paid 300 million won for the awakener fee, the 3 years of mandatory service does not occur.”
“… is that so?”
If so, is it worth listening to the story at least once? Sanghee, who sensed a change in attitude, continued.
“There are many benefits to working as a national employer. Typically, taxes are very low. In addition, you will be able to use government-run facilities for free. The most important thing is that we continuously provide dungeons tailored to the user’s level.”
“Hoo… .”
The benefits are better than you think. In particular, the fact that dungeons are continuously provided is a huge advantage for low-level players.
“Instead, you must clear dungeons designated by the government four times a month. And 70% of the loot from that dungeon belongs to the country… .”
“I don’t.”
Say that first! Then I wouldn’t have to listen to anything else. To some extent, I grumbled internally.
And in the first place, I couldn’t belong to one organization without knowing what kind of information would come out through the <Information Draw>. You must have as few restrictions on your actions as possible to be able to deal with any information that comes out.
No matter how good the conditions are, it is right to refuse users belonging to the country.
“yes. All right. “Then I guess there hasn’t been any talk until now.”
As Sang-hee smiled bitterly and coolly walked away, Do-do asked this time.
“You give up surprisingly easily?”
“Well actually. I also suggested it, but I thought it wouldn’t work. “There’s no need to tarnish your image by being soggy.”
“You thought it well.”
“Instead, I would like to make another suggestion.”
“… which?”
“I don’t know if you know, but the appearance of dungeons has been increasing rapidly around the world recently. So, I would like to request you to explore the dungeon.”
I’ve heard of it. Dungeons have been on the rise recently, two weeks ago to be exact. It is said that thanks to this, the price of dungeons plummeted and the number of digits was reduced by one. Some were making a fuss that it was a sign of a second cataclysm.
“We need a lot of manpower. “It’s still okay, but if this situation continues, the number of users may not be able to keep up with the dungeon.”
Sanghee took a moment to catch his breath and continued speaking.
“The association requests expeditions only for users who do not belong to any organization. Because there is also an aspect of supporting their training, the dungeon price is borne by the association. Instead, you have to pay 30% of the magic stones obtained from the expedition. Unlike state users, there are no obligations. “If you don’t like the expedition, you can refuse it.”
“Hmm… .”
It’s not a bad story. No, it’s actually very good. There were limits to saving dungeons as an individual. However, since the association said they would take care of it, I wanted to ask Jeongdo for a favor. Even if you take 30% of the magic stones, even if it is a magic stone from a low-grade dungeon, it is far short of the dungeon price. Jeongdo nodded his head.
“It’s good. Oh, how do I find team members for an expedition that requires more than two people?”
“Similarly, you will participate together with people hired by the association. Or, you can seek relief yourself.”
“I will accept your request. “Do you want to sign the contract now?”
“If the association finds a dungeon that suits you, we will contact you. “You can come then and proceed with the contract.”
“All right.”
The story is over. Thinking that way, Jeong-do tried to get up from his seat, but Seo Sang-hee didn’t move.
“uh… Is there any story left?”
“yes. “There is one more thing I would like to tell you.”
I was somewhat nervous. What important story awaits next after the dungeon fraud case and expedition request?
Sanghee spoke in a low voice as if she was embarrassed.
“that… Do you want to sell WarX?”
“… … .”
“If possible… “In installments.”
Sanghee, who felt the two men’s puzzled gaze, blushed and lowered her head.
* * * * * *
“Then rest comfortably.”
Sanghee, who came out after greeting Jeongdo, looked very excited.
“… Is it that good?”

“It’s okay because you’re a tank, but a dealer lives by the weapon and dies by the weapon, man. Moreover, the Orc Lord’s War X… Hehehe.”
Seongtae shook his head as he looked at Sanghee, whose mouth was about to twitch.
As the two people passed through the hospital hallway, a woman walked from the other side.
Seo-yoon Yoon.
She came to visit Jeong Do.
She opened her eyes wide as if she was surprised to see Seongtae, but then lowered her head slightly.
Seongtae also slightly bowed his head in response and then passed each other.
Grumble.
Seo-yoon soon disappeared into the hospital room where Jeong-do was hospitalized.
“Huh. She’s an incredibly pretty girl. who is this? Are you even a user lover? “He looks older, but he has good skills.”
After saying that, Sanghee flicked her little finger flippantly.
“… “I don’t want to talk about other people’s love stories.”
“Ah-oh. This boring guy. You said that the woman is still… .”
Sang-hee was talking next to Seong-tae, but Seong-tae didn’t listen.
‘I’m a lover… .’
In his view, it seemed clear that Seo-yoon liked Jeong-do as a member of the opposite s*x.
‘But what about the opposite?’
At least I wasn’t sure about Seongtae.
next day.
Jeong-do was discharged from the hospital. As a result of the examination, no abnormalities were found. One thing that was surprising was that other students were in worse condition than those exposed to War Cry in the places closest to them.
‘Probably thanks to the <Resistance> skill.’
Thanks to this, Jeong Do was discharged from the hospital a day earlier than the other students. She has no training schedule since she only has the academy graduation ceremony left. In other words, today’s level is very generous.
‘hmm… ‘I can’t get used to it.’
Have you ever been this relaxed since joining a guild to become a user? At times like this, I had no idea what to do. I tried contacting Seo-yoon, but she replied that there was work at home today.
While walking around the streets, an advertisement advertising the user’s weapon caught his eye.
[You too. I also got one. Dragon bamboo spear!]
‘Okay, let’s go shopping.’
Except for King Panacea, he had no worthy armed forces. He used the basic equipment supplied by the academy. Now that you have graduated from the academy, you will need to customize your own equipment.
‘Now that I think about it, Team Leader Seo Sang-hee deposited the money for War X?’
Yesterday, when she asked her to sell War It was a part she knew how much she coveted.
At that time, Jeong-do was about to move to the user shopping mall.
Tiring! A text message arrived.
[hello. Gentle user. I am contacting you because I heard you have been discharged from the hospital. Find a dungeon of a level that suits you and request an expedition. If you have any thoughts, please visit the association. – Seo Sang-hee]
“Anyway, I guess I can’t be a nobleman.”
Jeongdo turned around the same way he had headed towards the shopping mall and headed towards the association.
His steps toward the association seemed very light.
