“Is this a large-scale quest?”

-Yes, it is. I’m guessing so too.

“What is the reaction of the person concerned?”

-I asked a question, but it was more suspicious to not be able to answer anything.

“right. It was difficult to say. Because there are so many interests involved.”

Perhaps because of expectations, Lee Jung-ho’s voice grew louder.

‘If we handle this case well, we will be able to earn trust again.’

It was an excellent opportunity.

Park Yu-myeong had asked him to take responsibility as if he was going to throw him away at any moment.

It was a rebuke to the extent that the existing position was shaken.

Somewhere in his heart, he might have decided to cut him off and save someone else.

‘Absolutely not. How did I get to this place?’

Lee Jung-ho captured his heart.

If this information is certain and we can only get a clue about a large-scale quest, then everything will be fine.

Large-scale quests were a matter of great interest.

Knowing just days, hours, or minutes earlier than others can make a big difference.

And that difference leads to profits.

Park Yoo-myeong’s position was shaken by the failure of the acquisition of the Frostbale Corps.

Under such circumstances, this large-scale quest would be the perfect relief pitcher.

“Absolutely catch it. That information, we have.”

-all right.

“He is a public servant who takes bribes anyway, so he won’t listen to us. But first, just give me enough time so that the flies don’t get involved, and tell me to leak the information.”

– Yes, I will.

“Any other information?”

– There is one. I’m not sure because it’s just information, but I’ve heard reports of several new dungeons being created at the time the giant sinkhole was created.

“therefore?”

– The time difference is so exquisite that even the government is suspicious of it.

Hearing those words, Lee Jung-ho’s expression completely changed.

He was different from before, when he was about to die.

There was nothing more to hear.

This information was enough to make a decision.

The rest you just have to check yourself.

“Good. This time I am responsible for your bonus. So, first, we get that information properly, and we decide which dungeon to search.”

-Yep! thank you

“Instead, we have to choose the dungeon we are going to go into. Even if you choose just one, you will find a bonfire. Do you know what I mean?”

– Don’t worry. I’ll do it right.

Lee Jung-ho clenched his fist in a sense of triumph that he had done it right.

If you do this right, you can regain the trust you lost.

Not only that, but you can also get an opportunity to rise to a more important position in Samhwa Group.

It had to be dealt with properly.

certainly.

Do-hyeon was standing on the roof of a building.

It was a place overlooking the headquarters of the Frostbale Legion.

Unlike before, the current Frostfoot Legion was full of vitality.

“I did as you said.”

Seon Woo-hyuk approached Do-hyun’s back.

Dohyun turned his eyes away from the scenery and turned back.

“The movement under Samhwa Group is unusual. Human and material resources are flocking to Incheon Metropolitan City.”

It was high-quality information that could not be accessed at all through internet news.

“What else?”

“The rumors abound that it might have something to do with a giant sinkhole. However, since it is a rumor, no one seems to be convinced yet.”

“You think it’s a rumor?”

Seon Woo-hyuk had a respectful attitude from start to finish.

On the other hand, Do-hyeon was speaking to Xiamen with an arrogant tone that was not polite.

If anyone had seen this spectacle, they would have been amazed.

It was a corps that was in ruins, but the Frostbale corps was once a famous place.

But does Do-hyeon, who doesn’t have any position, speak against the young monarch of the Frost-Beared Corps?

However, Dohyun’s attitude was dignified.

Because that was the content of the transaction between the two in the first place.

Do-hyeon offered the deal to Seon Woo-hyuk, risking the revival of the Frostfoot Corps.

Instead, Seon Woo-hyuk decided to call himself Do-hyeon’s limb.

Externally, the monarch of the Frostfoot Corps was Seon Woo-hyuk.

However, in reality, it had nothing to do with Do-hyeon.

In this regard, Seon Woo-hyuk did not express any dissatisfaction.If it wasn’t for Dohyun, the corps would have completely disintegrated.

He seemed satisfied with being able to protect the corps even in this way.

“I can’t say for sure. I hate to admit it, but the capabilities of our corps are limited to this level. If you try to investigate further… … .”

“It’s going to be difficult to step on your back.”

“… … .”

It was a bittersweet word.

But it was also true.

The fallen legion was barely alive.

Loyalty of those who belonged decreased, and information was highly likely to leak.

This investigation alone must have barely been accomplished.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know what was going on.

Dohyun decided to cut off his words there.

Anyway, this corps will only grow bigger.

I had no choice but to put my regrets aside for now.

“So, did you check the location?”

“yes. We will send the coordinates to your smartphone.”

“What did I ask for?”

“I have prepared that too.”

Seon Woo-hyuk held out the black briefcase he was holding.

Then he unlocked the lock and saw what was inside.

It contained everything that Do-hyun had told Seon-woo-hyuk.

“I have put all the magic stones left in the Legion. And it was hard to get, so I couldn’t get as much as I asked for.”

“… … .”

It was the magic stone and the player’s blood sample.

People’s interest in the barely revived Legion was great.

It must have been difficult to deal with the public eye, paying attention to the entry and exit of the subordinates.

“sorry.”

“it’s okay. This is enough.”

Seon Woo-hyuk was quite resourceful.

Even under adverse circumstances, he did what he expected, so his resourcefulness will shine when the conditions get better.

Dohyun was handed the briefcase and made a satisfied face.

Getting the magic stone to be used for the skill ‘Original’s Papyrus’ for free was a great harvest.

‘Are there only one B-class, and all the others are C-class?’

Fortunately, the quality guaranteed B-class magic stone was mixed.

The number of C-class magic stones was also quite high.

‘About 14, well.’

Dohyun nodded his head.

Considering the 10% reduction in mana consumption thanks to the title ‘The Long Runner’, he had enough money for his next plan.

‘The blood samples are for 10 people.’

The biggest benefit was getting a blood sample from the player without a trace.

It was thanks to the Frostfoot Legion.

At first he had to use the blood of Sega’s sinners, but now he can get samples from good players.

As time went on, better samples of players could be obtained.

“Then I’ll just go.”

“Oh, I have one last request.”

“… Yeah? You tell me.”

“It’s nothing. I think I will be working on the Incheon side for a few days, can you make a spot for a gunman there?”

“Gunman… mean?”

A decent player is a gunslinger?

Seon Woo-hyuk’s eyebrows narrowed as he asked a curious question.

*

A quiet park in Incheon Metropolitan City.

Originally, this was a sparsely populated park.

However, now they are under the control of the police and military forces due to the infestation of the dungeon, and even more people could not be found.

At dawn, an old car was parked near the park.

‘It’s more difficult to deal with ants than I thought.’

It was Dohyun who was in the car.

Dohyun was running a battle simulation while activating the ‘Papyrus of the Original’ skill inside the vehicle.

The dolls were fighting a fierce battle in the papyrus.

Thanks to the blood samples supplied through Seon Woo-hyuk, the number of dolls also increased to twenty.

And the monsters the dolls were dealing with were ants widely known in Dungeons & Monsters.

This ant was nothing special when dealing with each one.

Along with goblins, it was considered as one of the two great mountain ranges for hunting suitable for beginner players.

Therefore, as long as the team breathes well, they can hunt without difficulty.

The problem was that Dohyeon mostly worked alone.

So even if he runs the battle simulation with papyrusHe was doing only hunting alone.

‘There is no sign of increasing the number of ants a doll can deal with at one time. Is the quantitative offensive stronger than you think?’

The risk of a single ant was less than that of a goblin.

The special feature was the level of formic acid that bursts out from the inside when the ant skin was pierced with a weapon.

This formic acid could dissolve human skin.

‘You can only deal with up to 30 per doll.’

At first glance, this was a satisfactory result.

But as Do-hyeon, he was infinitely dissatisfied.

This meant that safety could not be guaranteed if more than 30 ants appeared.

The phrase “96% chance of death for a level 4 extra” lingered in his mind.

“Sheesh.”

Dohyun clicked his tongue.

Ants were monsters that sacrificed themselves for the sake of the group.

There is no way to escape if you rush in with your own death neglected.

In fact, the dolls who fight simulation battles were struggling.

It was not at a satisfactory level for a battle simulation that had been running a few days ago.

In addition, the formic acid that comes out every time an ant is killed narrows the area where the player can stand on the battlefield.

It was an easy opponent, but he could have gone straight to the goal if he was careless.

‘If it were those monsters, I would have been able to compete more than this.’

Do-hyeon remembered Jo Ja-hyun and Dan Eun-seol.

Different levels of talent meant that.

‘Well, if you gradually increase the number of dolls and manage the quality, you will be fine.’

Dohyun struggled to comfort herself.

It was impossible to be satisfied with the first drink.

If you can get magic stones from the Frost Legion and get high-quality blood samples from players, the gap can be narrowed down enough.

No, it does not stop at narrowing it down, but it can be jumped over depending on the situation.

Just like in the Tower of Trials.

‘If it’s at this level, it shouldn’t be a big deal in this dungeon. I can only be satisfied at this level.’

Dohyun got his luggage and got out of the car.

The performance of the battle simulation run in the skill ‘Papyrus of the Original’ was not very satisfactory.

But he believed that time would solve it.

“Then, shall we go?”

widely!

Do-hyeon opened the old car door and pushed it back.

Then he grabbed the gun that was leaning on the side of the vehicle and went out.

His face was covered with a phantom mask as usual.
