Episode 166
The words spoken at the S-class appointment ceremony went viral.
Lost Land Expedition.
It is a monster eradication operation that takes place every year like an annual event.
Prevent further erosion of eroded land
The act of doing it was the same as weeding.
but.
The expedition being pursued in my name this time was a little different.
“There is a possibility to restore the eroded land!”
Interstellar Union Yongsan Branch.
On the top floor, in the branch manager’s office, Martin gave an impassioned speech.
“I was the one who asked you to form an expedition, so why do you seem more motivated?”
“It’s natural. Merchants never wait.
“It’s a way to never miss a meal.”
“Opportunity…is it?”
I sat down with a shocked expression on my face.
2nd Lost Land Expedition.
There were rarely more than two Lost Land expeditions in a year.
No matter how well you do, the best you can do is maintain the status quo.
Once carried out, a huge amount of materials and funds were consumed.
On the other hand, the only effect of forming an expedition is to maintain the current situation.
As the week progressed, it got even weirder.
“Branch leader. Aren’t you taking things too seriously?”
“Is there a problem?”
“The cost of consumption is large and there are risks.
“The benefit to cotton is small.”
The Gaia Former is a prototype.
There is no guarantee that the land fused with the gate can be returned to its original state.
“Of course I know. Who do you think I am?”
I answered without hesitation.
“Pudgy dwarf.”
“Hmm. I am the former branch leader of the Interstellar Alliance.”
“Ah. Yes. Ghosts who are crazy about money.”
“…Don’t do that. Anyway, I decided this was worth the investment.”
I touched my chin.
Interstellar Federation.
They are the best group of merchants in the multidimensional universe who never do anything to lose money.
‘Even though he looks like a tough guy, he’s actually a great guy.’
I forgot.
The branch leader of the Yongsan branch where the tower is located.
Yongdamhohyeol, it is a hot spot where attention from various levels is focused.
The fact that he overtook numerous competitors in the Interstellar Alliance and settled down in the Yongsan branch is proof of his outstanding ability.
“Let’s hear the basis for investment.”
“First is our free mercenary.”
Martin pointed at me with his stubby thumb.
” me?”
“Thanks to your last misdeed, you gained a reputation for being a fan of justice.”
“That’s a ridiculous joke.”
Sheesh.
I clicked my tongue.
Am I, a demon lord in my previous life, a fan of justice after reincarnation?
…That’s a ridiculous joke.
“Isn’t this a joke? This time, donations came in from various organizations in the name of Hunter Mincheol.”
“What a sponsorship.”
“Jupiter, Dujiang, and many other large corporations have decided to support the supplies for this expedition.”
“Since when do companies start doing charity work?”
“It means that the brand called Mincheol Hunter is that valuable.”
Martin presented an advertising plan.
Clothing, beverages, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Many fields hoped that I would become an advertising model.
“Do you know your worth?”
“Uh, yeah”
He answered in a shaky voice.
I knew it became famous after an Internet article came out, but I never dreamed that companies would actively take action.
“That being said, let’s also listen to the second reason.”
“Of course it’s Gaia Former.”
“Because it’s a prototype, it may not be successful.”
“If it succeeds, even better.”

A machine that can restore the fusion state of the ground and the gate to its original state.
Gaia Former is already in the upper echelon
It was pretty well known.
Since several countries in Europe, led by the UK, had mobilized hunters of class A or above, it was even more strange that they were unaware of the abnormal signs.
“This expedition is meaningful in itself.”
“Then it doesn’t matter whether there is a Gaia Former or not.”
“No. If we succeed in restoring the old land, the synergy will explode!”
The size of the expedition was much larger than initially thought.
It is the result of Martin’s behind-the-scenes efforts to mobilize the media and contact business executives.
‘If that happens, opportunities to contact warlords will naturally increase.’
Near Kaesong.
And the North Korean warlords who control Hwanghae Province.
If a large group of hunters moves near a warlord’s territory, they will respond in some way.
‘I could really give you a good punch.’
Hehehe.
The tip of the mouth curved upwards.
“Isn’t this the picture Hunter Mincheol wanted?”
“You should eat some soybean water too.”
“A merchant must seize the opportunity when it comes.
That’s the law.”
I’m not denying it.
Thanks to Martin’s active involvement, things went much easier.
Should I say that he is also the branch leader of the Interstellar Alliance?
‘The direction you look at is different from mine.’
In my previous life, even during Deimos, I was in the position of a ‘king’ giving orders.
Looking far away and giving direction.
Only with competent subordinates under him can he move smoothly in the direction indicated.
Martin and Ellie.
I always feel like they are all capable subordinates.
at that time.
Buuuung-
My cell phone rang.
It’s a familiar number.
“I’ll answer the phone in a moment.”
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
-S-class hunter who loves world peace. Can we talk over the phone?
No. 1 in the domestic business world.
It was Cheon Ji-yeon, the youngest daughter of the Shinsung Group.
“Huh. That’s quite a long modifier.”
-You must have done so extravagantly.
“The reason you called to ask how I was doing was
I don’t think so?”
-Ho Ho. I want to meet you sometime.
“Okay. Then let’s go to where you are.”
I hung up the phone and looked at Martin across from me.
“The more sponsorship, the better, right?”
“Sure.”
“Okay. Then I’ll try my best too.”
I smiled and got out of my seat.
Rice Rice Rice Rice
Holy Guild Building.
The second time I stopped by, I received formal guidance and went in.
‘At first, I was in no mood.’
I remembered rushing out after hearing that my younger brother had destroyed part of the test room.
The highest point in the building.
Cheon Ji-yeon was treated privately at the Sky Lounge overlooking Seoul.
Cheon Ji-yeon is the master of a large guild.
came out in comfortable, invisible clothes.
A baggy t-shirt and slightly torn jeans.
Her red hair that reaches her waist is tied with a rubber band, and her hands are wearing silver leather gloves with silver studs.
“You go to work wearing quite unconventional outfits.”
“But Hunter Mincheol is more conservative than I thought.”
“It’s very different from the image I have of the CEO of a large company.”
I scratched my cheek.
The Holy Guild is no different from a company.
There are hundreds of people working in the building, and many of them are ordinary people who are not hunters.
“My father doesn’t like it.”
I think I would hate it if my daughter walked around like that.
For the first time, I understood the feelings of the chairman of a large company.
“How is your brother doing?”
“Ah, I guess you haven’t heard about Minjeong Hunter.”
“I came back from the tower.”
“She achieved first place with an overwhelming score in the hunter exam held two weeks ago.”
I wasn’t really surprised.
Minjeong’s potential exceeded that of an S-class hunter.
‘Because I also taught you martial arts.’
Reverse view.
It is a martial art of Shaolin Temple.
There was a synergistic effect as it matched well with the mana my younger brother possessed.
“I believe in my younger brother who has great qualities.
Thank you for entrusting me with it.”
“What? It’s lucky if the troublemaker doesn’t cause an accident.”
“Hoho, that’s not an empty remark. If this continues, the country’s 8th S-class hunter may come out of our guild.”
Holy Guild.
This is praise from the leader of one of Korea’s three largest guilds.
For no reason, my cheekbones went up a little.
I held back the urge to laugh.
‘God has eyes to see people.’
It felt good to feel itchy in my chest even though it wasn’t my compliment.
After listening to the story, it seems that Minjeong’s evaluation is quite excellent within the guild.
but.
He has a talent that reminds me of the warriors of humanity.
Although I personally inspired him and taught him martial arts, he understood some of Yeok Geun-gyeong’s feelings in a short period of time.
‘There’s nothing to worry about.’
My younger brother’s personality is a bit dirty, but
I don’t think there’s been an accident yet.
“If you ever get into an accident, please tell me.”
“I need to ask you a favor, what are you saying?”
“I mean it.”
I kept emphasizing ‘accident’, remembering Minjeong’s dirty personality.
Drinks were prepared while we chatted.
I took a sip of coffee and looked into Cheon Ji-yeon’s eyes.
It’s different from what I was talking about about my brother.
There was a sharp light.
“Are you saying this is the point now?”
“Hoho. I thought you already knew everything.”
“Honestly, I didn’t expect you to be greedy in a sacred place.”
Hwarang, Geumsan, and Shinseong.
Among the three major guilds in Korea, Shinsung is the only one willing to participate in this expedition.
“Do you know that? The expedition is suffering significant financial losses.”
The Lost Land Expedition is very risky.
However, the benefits that could be obtained were not large.
Collect by-products from the corpses of monsters while maintaining supply for a long period of time?
It’s not easy.
“Then why do you want to participate in the Divine?”
“I heard you are borrowing some interesting items from England.”
“Now it’s a prototype.”
“If it succeeds, it will be a huge issue.”
“What if I fail?”
“It’s not a loss since I can get points from Hunter Mincheol.”
“You’re quite outspoken even in front of me.”
Although the content was playful, one could not sense any servility in Cheon Ji-yeon’s attitude throughout the conversation.
“I think this expedition is an opportunity.”
“Is this a chance…?”
“Shinseong is Dongajul, which will surpass Hwarang and Geumsan and stand tall as the number one guild in the country.”
“I think you overestimate me.”
“Restoration of the Lost Lands and becoming the 8th guild to have S-class hunters in the country. Wouldn’t this be enough?”
Is it because he is a direct descendant of the owner of a large company?
Martin was like that, but Cheon Ji-yeon also viewed the game broadly.
There was no reason to refuse.
“Good. Then, can I hear to what extent the Holy Guild can mobilize you?”
“Sure.”
3 raids.
The number of combatants is 150.
Hunters participating in the expedition are level B or higher and veterans with at least 5 years of experience.
commissariat.
By-product collection.
In addition, various materials are provided.
Although Shinsung is called one of the top 3 guilds in Korea, they invested with the risk of losing a lot of money.
“Park Min-soo, the S-class hunter of the Holy Guild.
“Isn’t it?”
“Yes. He was also interested in this expedition.”
The pride of the Holy Guild.
Park Min-soo, one of Korea’s S-class hunters, was also included in the expedition list.
‘It is not empty words to say that we will stand tall as the number one company in the country.’
It was a huge investment.
Holy Guild’s active participation.
Once this news becomes known, many guilds that want to increase their reputation will also express their intention to participate in the expedition.
“This feels like a huge debt.”
“Hoho. Considering Mincheol Hunter’s hard work before, it’s not even a debt.”
Cheon Ji-yeon subtly mentioned the Munsusan Gate incident.
A gate that caused a mutation.
It was a dangerous situation in which many casualties might have occurred if I had not stepped forward.
When I mentioned debt again, I felt a new emotion.
“For further details, please contact Branch Manager Martin.
Please discuss.”
“I understand. It would be quicker to talk to the practitioners.”
The story went well.
Although we came here expecting the Holy Guild to invest.
Jiyeon Cheon’s investment exceeded expectations.
at that time.
-Guild leader. I brought the person you mentioned.
A voice came from the intercom.
Cheon Ji-yeon opened her mouth as if she had been waiting.
“Please ask me to come in.”
“Who else decided to come?”
“Hoho. You probably know someone.”
no way.
When I heard that it was someone I knew, one side of my heart went cold.
As if she didn’t disappoint my expectations(?), a mysterious woman stepped into the sky lounge.
“Uh. What are you doing here?”
A guy born with the qualities of a warrior.
It was my younger brother.
