Rewards (1)
When he came to his senses, he was in a hospital. A single room with only one bed. Looking at the light outside the window, it seemed to be late morning or afternoon. Since he usually woke up very early in the morning, you could see how tired he was.
‘I don’t have any strength in my body.’
The aftereffects of <Dragon Blood Awakening> were greater than expected. It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t move, but I felt like I couldn’t do excessive exercise. I felt like I would fall asleep if I stayed there, so I raised my upper body with some difficulty and called up the status window.

“Wow.”
I suddenly lost sleep. This is what it means to feel full just by looking at it. It was impossible to even think of it as a level 14 status.
In terms of pure ability, it is the highest among C-class. If you add the boost effect of King of All Diseases, it is an ability that can go up to B level.
What about the skills? It was difficult for others to obtain one, so they had to pay thousands of dollars to obtain skill stones, but Jeong-do possessed a whopping 10 skills. Each one is unique and powerful. It was steadily getting stronger.
smart.
A nurse came into the room with a light knocking sound. When she saw that Jeong-do had woken up, she looked surprised.
“You’re awake. please wait for a moment. “I will bring a guardian.”
“Oh, wait a minute!”
Jeong-do called the nurse, but she left before he could speak, closing the door.
“… … .”
He also has a short temper. I sighed slightly and thought about who would come. The most likely person would probably be Seo Sang-hee.
A moment passed and a knock was heard and a voice was heard.
“Calm down user. “Can I come in?”
As expected, Sanghee came.
“yes. Come on in.”
The door opened and she came in. Her face was tired, as if she hadn’t slept a wink all night.
‘I’m sorry for no reason.’
He was probably going through a hard time trying to undo what he had done. When Do-do was thinking that, Sang-hee spoke up.
“I’m glad you’re awake. He suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital… “He was fine and had no injuries, so I just rented a hospital room.”
“I am indebted to you. thank you.”
“no. I should say thank you here. Many people survived because the user blocked the brakes. thank you.”
After those words, there was a moment of awkward silence between the two. Sanghee seemed to want to say something, but was hesitant. Jeong Do was the first to speak up after seeing that.
“You came to see the CCTV, right? If you have any questions, please ask. “We will cooperate as much as possible.”
There was no way there was no CCTV on a street like Seongsu Bridge. Jeongdo fought knowing that fact. It was also easier to prove that he had caught the kobolds.
“Thank you for your kindness.”
Sanghee bowed lightly to Jeong Do and then asked him directly.
“Did you see the criminal’s face?”
“no. When I ran to it, the warp scroll had already been torn apart… However, it is clear that they are both men.”
Actually, I knew everything except the face. Because I confirmed it with observation skills. However, he did not necessarily reveal that fact. Because it was obvious that even if I told them, they would only ask me how I knew.
“A man on a warp scroll.”
Sanghee asked again while writing down the words in his notebook.
“Why were you there? “Have you heard anything in advance?”
Are you still asking this? It was a question I had expected, so I gave the answer I had prepared.
“It’s a coincidence. As you know, team leader, I was attacking a dungeon in Gangnam that day, right? “After that, on my way back, I ran into them by chance.”
“… really? The timing was great. “It’s as if I was waiting and then discovered it.”
Sang-hee asked Jeong-do back with a doubtful expression.
“Is there any particular reason why you think so?”
I had been anticipating from the day before that I would be asked this question if the situation arose. So, that day, I hid as much as possible by moving to the blind spot of the CCTV. There was no way it could have been captured on CCTV.
“That’s not it… ha.”
I thought he might know something. Are you saying it was a mistake? Sanghee let out a sigh of regret.
“… … .”
There wasn’t really anything to say about it. All she knew was that the break would happen. Because I didn’t know anything else.
“I’m sorry for asking as if you were interrogating me. Because the situation is the situation.”
Sanghee bowed his head slightly.
“are you okay. I understand. “Can I ask you something too?”
“yes. ask.”
“Is it karma?”
I flinch.
Sanghee was momentarily taken aback by Jeongdo’s fastball, but soon answered.
“There is no evidence… “For now, we consider him the top suspect.”
Karma Guild.
This group, which was more of a religious group than a guild, was famous for being very radical. In particular, the Karma Guild in the Middle East frequently committed terrorist acts in the name of holy war. However, the entire Karma Guild could not be stopped. This is because Karma claimed that they simply believe in the same God and have no connection with a group that commits terrorist acts. Just like the relationship between IS and Islam that existed long ago.
“The previous two breaks were in the experimental stage. And yesterday’s break could be seen as full-blown terrorism.”

“We judge that too.”
“Are there any measures?”
Sanghee sighed again at the question.
“We’ll have to discuss it a little more, but I’m thinking of including Class B or higher users in the patrol. And we need to send official letters of cooperation to other guilds as well.”
For now, that seemed to be the only way.
“And the monster you defeated.”
“Oh. “That was it.”
A group of 311 kobolds. Just cleaning up after it would have taken a considerable amount of time.
“Currently, all corpses are stored by the association. Oh, and don’t worry about processing or storage costs. “The association is not so incompetent as to charge such a thing to a hero who prevented a major accident.”
“… thank god.”
The degree increased the level of favorability toward government agencies in one’s mind by 1.
Sanghee said with a grin.
“You will probably suffer quite a bit for a while.”
“yes?”
“We said we would handle it as secretly as possible, but we can’t handle that many monster corpses without being noticed. Many companies and processors will probably be looking for you.”
“ah… .”
Monster corpses are very useful.
As firefighting uniforms made from the skin of monsters, which are resistant to fire, became widespread, the rate of firefighters dying on duty plummeted, and the blood of monsters such as trolls revolutionized the medical field. It was only natural that tough leather and hard bone would be used as materials for weapons used by users.
However, it was that difficult to obtain.
Monsters are subordinate to the dungeon. Therefore, the monster’s corpse and equipment disappear along with the dungeon, but there is a low probability that only those with magical power will remain. Like the WarX sold to Sanghee.
But Dungeon Break is different.
The moment the dungeon explodes, the monsters are freed from their servitude, and the monsters that die outside leave behind everything. So, in the early days of the cataclysm, dungeons were intentionally left unattended to cause breaks, but this is now strictly prohibited under international law. It was a natural measure as there were so many disasters caused by brakes. Of course, there were only two crazy countries on earth that did not even care about international law. China and North Korea. Of course, those two countries were extremely abnormal cases, and ordinary countries were at least outwardly abiding by international law.
In this situation, as the corpses of over 300 monsters appeared, it was obvious that the companies would turn on their eyes and come find the extent.
“congratulations. “You became rich overnight.”
“I have no idea how to handle it. “Because there are too many.”
Sanghee thought for a moment about those words and then said.
“Why not entrust all the monsters to an auction company and conduct an auction? “There will be a lot of people who want to buy it anyway.”
“Hmm… .”
Certainly, selling that many monsters one by one is cumbersome and time-consuming. It would be better to run through the dungeon one more time at that time. I decided to do as Sanghee said.
“Could you possibly handle it for me? “I will pay for it.”
Sang-hee responded as if he was a little disappointed at Jeong-do’s words.
“As I said before, the Association owes a great debt to the users of Jinjeongdo. A policy has come down from the top that says we will accommodate whatever the user requests. Don’t worry about cost at all. We will also set taxes at the lowest level.”
“… thank you.”
In Jeongdo’s mind, the association’s favorability rose by 1 again.
“Then rest in peace. Let’s go now. “Please come visit me anytime if you need anything.”
Sanghee said that and left. Jeong-do was left alone in the hospital room again.
“Whoa.”
Even just talking makes me feel tired. Due to the aftereffects of the Hemolysis Awakening, my physical condition was definitely not good. I decided to take enough rest today and think about the future.
Right then.
“I’m glad you seem to be working hard.”
“who!?”
I quickly turned my head in the direction where the voice was coming from.
There was a woman in a maid outfit with platinum blonde hair that reached her waist.
Winry Machina.
The agent of the macrocosm has reappeared.
“uh?”
“It is an honor to meet you again. “Mr. Jinjeongdo.”
Winry gently held both ends of her skirt and lifted it, giving a graceful greeting. However, I was so embarrassed that I didn’t even think to say hello.
“uh… how?”
“There is no place I cannot go if I want to. You seem a little confused. Would you like some water?”
As Winry said that, there was already a cup of water in her hand. What kind of magic is this? No, the other person is a real agent of the universe. It’s ridiculous to even talk about magic over something like this. In a daze, I took the water Winry offered and drank it.
Jump, jump, jump.
“Whew. It’s been a while, Winry. So what’s going on here?”
The degree to which he came to his senses looked at Winry and asked. Although it had been a long time since I had seen her, she still did not look like a person. Not only her looks, but even her voice. Oh, come to think of it, wasn’t Winry a human?
“Of course.”
Winry said with a gentle smile in response to the question. It was a sweet voice that could not be considered human.
“It’s to give compensation.”
And even what he said was so sweet.
