Return To Level Up

Chapter 33

Disease Absorption was a skill that sucked in the opponent’s disease.

It was a skill that unilaterally forced the sacrifice of the skill holder. Because the body has to accept the disease it has absorbed.

“He said he would give me 10 billion won if I absorbed the illness of the president of a large corporation. Of course I refused. It was a disease that even the Awakened could not endure.”

After that, Jihye Kim could no longer enter the dungeon to hunt her.

It was impossible for her to apply for hunting once. She couldn’t even save a team trying to hunt her down with her.

And because she was close to Kim Ji-hye, Lee Ji-young became the same.

She naturally flowed into the black market, and after struggling for quite some time, she met her present companions one by one.

Most of them were helped by Ji-hye Kim and Ji-young Lee, so everyone was very close.

“Actually, we were all giving up on leveling up. Although it was tight, the goal was to somehow survive. But that was the limit.”

Debt from her hard work was a problem.

It was the guilds of the giant guilds who lent them money.

When the pressure on debt was getting stronger, Ha-jin Kang appeared.

Thanks to him, I paid off all my debts and now I am living a life like a human being.

For them, Hajin Kang was a benefactor. And every time we got together, we made a promise that we would never betray him no matter what happened in the future.

Ha-jin Kang, who was listening to the story, suddenly had an idea that came to her mind, so she said.

“How did you find out about the black market?”

“Yes? Black market? If you just work on this floor, you will come to know it naturally.”

“Naturally? Did you play with giant guilds? The president of a large corporation is also involved.”

“Does that matter?”

“It’s a relationship between a giant guild and a large corporation and the Awakening Administration and the exchange of a lot of things.”

“Isn’t that what everyone knows?”

“And the black market is sustainable because the Awakening Administration, giant guilds, and large corporations acknowledge their existence.”

“Yes? Hopefully.”

“When you become aware of the existence of the black market naturally, it means that you were either induced to know about it or neglected.”

“then······.”

“Perhaps the people who are targeting Mr. Jihye deliberately linked him to the black market.”

Kim Ji-hye’s eyes widened.

If the Awoken wanted to avoid their interference and earn money, there was no answer other than the black market.

And the black market was a completely different world of shadows, no matter how much they condoned their existence.

They would have wanted to be able to control Kim Ji-hye even after she ran to the black market.

To do that, it was necessary to limit the relationships that Ji-hye Kim had on her black market. within their control.

Kim Ji-hye’s complexion turned pale. If that were the case, they may already know her location and situation.

“Nothing is certain yet, so no need to be surprised in advance.”

“However······.”

“First, let’s create a guild and think about countermeasures slowly. Still, it would be much better to go out into the sun than to wander the black market.”

That is definitely the case.

Kim Ji-hye kept her silence for a while, and then looked at Kang Ha-jin with her pitiful expression.

“Are all guild members here?”

Hajin Kang replied with a smile.

“From now on, we have to recruit more. If there is anyone you would like to recommend, please do not hesitate to tell us.”

Everyone thought in their minds to see if there were any good people. Silence lingered for a while, not remembering quickly.

Then, Lee Ji-young asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

“What is the guild name?”

Hajin Kang said with a smirk.

“Let’s build it from now on. If you have a suitable name, please recommend it.”

They all had awkward smiles on their faces.

Isn’t the most difficult thing to name? Moreover, it is more difficult because it cannot be duplicated with other guilds.

The meeting continued after that.

As time passed, everyone became more and more talkative. Then, later, a heated discussion took place.

At that meeting, a big frame for the guild was drawn.

However, Hajin Kang could hardly concentrate on the meeting.

She pulled out her memories of the guilds she would face in the future, and looked to see if there were any useful memories to use when dealing with them.

There were many more interesting memories than I expected. And once the memories came up, they caught up with their tails and summoned more memories.

Running a guild was actually not that easy.

Having a guild master, a guild member, and a base were not the end.

A person to run the guild was absolutely necessary.

Starting with administrative tasks, he needed someone to handle countless tasks, including finance, manpower management, and establishing relationships with other guilds.

Of course, it wasn’t something I could do alone.

Ha-jin Kang had someone he had in mind when he decided to create a guild.

As long as you recruit that person, no matter how much your guild grows in the future, there will be no problem at all.

Even if the guild carried out various businesses, he was a person with the ability to take on all of them.

It was not necessary when going alone, but it was a necessary talent to go together.

Kang Ha-jin was on the way to meet that person now.

There was no need to investigate where he was. He went down to the countryside and lived in seclusion until the first disaster.

He lived in the mountains of Gangwon-do, where Ha-jin Kang had visited before his return.

Among the guilds that Ha-jin Kang visited briefly before joining the last team, there was a place called Dungeon Breaker.

It was a guild that started small after the first disaster, but grew rapidly and eventually became strong enough to threaten other large guilds and large corporations.

Ha-jin Kang entered when he was about to grow up, and the person who was running the guild at the time was Kyung-min Yoon, the person he’s visiting now.

And the guild master was annihilated together with the guild members while attacking a dangerous dungeon, so even in a situation where the dungeon breaker was destroyed, he prepared to raise the guild again.

It was even very successful.

Until the Jeyoung group, Taesan, and the Awakening Administration joined hands and systematically interfered.

Anyway, there is no such future now.

Unlike before their return, the Jeyoung group will not become the first chaebol in Korea, and Taesan will also be just a gangster, and the Awakened Management Agency would not be able to step forward without them.

‘Well, before that, Kyung-min Yoon will never go to Dungeon Breaker.’

Kang Ha-jin thought of his old days and moved his steps. Yoon Kyung-min was living alone in a village quite far from the village, in fact, in a mountain village.

He lived in a shabby wooden house at the foot of the mountain, and in winter he had to endure the literally stinging cold.

Yoon Kyung-min lives in the mountains like that, and then goes through his first disaster, barely surviving and moving to Seoul.

And then he is lucky enough to meet the Dungeon Breaker’s Guild Master.

To be honest, the Dungeon Breaker was lucky, though.

After walking for a while, Ha-jin Kang arrived at the house where Kyung-min Yoon lived. No, he got to where the house was in sight.

Yoon Kyung-min was sitting on the bench in front of the house and reading a book.

As Ha-jin Kang continued walking in that direction, Kyung-min Yoon took her eyes off the book and looked at Ha-jin Kang. And with a puzzled expression, he tilted his head.

Soon Ha-jin Kang arrived in front of Kyung-min Yoon.

“who are you?”

At Yoon Kyung-min’s question, Kang Ha-jin took out a business card he had prepared in advance and held it out.

“My name is Hajin Kang.”

With a puzzled expression, Yoon Kyung-min checked the business card that Kang Ha-jin had given him.

“Guardians… Guild Master?”

“Yeah. Master of Guild Guardians. I’m here to scout you.”

“Yes? me? In the guild?”

Yoon Kyung-min looked at Kang Ha-jin with an incomprehensible expression.

“If it’s a guild, isn’t it a group where awakened people gather to hunt in dungeons?”

“Yes.”

“Then I think you came here by mistake, but I am not an Awakened person.”

“I know. What I want is the management ability of Mr. Yoon Kyung-min.”

“Uh, operation? I don’t have any talent for that either. No, I don’t have any experience other than talent or something, and I’ve been in the business once…”

“There is. So just trust me and follow me. Our guild doesn’t have many people yet, but it’s pretty good.”

“No, I…”

Kang Ha-jin cut off Yoon Kyung-min’s words.

“Winter is coming soon. It’s a little cold here in winter, isn’t it?”

“············· There is not much It is very cold.”

Cold isn’t everything. Even if it snows, it’s just the end.

Yoon Kyung-min’s expression darkened at once as he recalled the dark memories of last winter.

“I heard that this year is colder than last year, are you okay?”

“What are the conditions?”

Kang Ha-jin chuckled. We got good talent very easily thanks to the cold winter.

“It is probably a difficult condition to receive anywhere.”

You’ll be running a guild that will wipe out dungeons from the Earth.

Guardians was the name of the team that Ha-jin Kang belonged to before returning.

This time, Kang Ha-jin was going to end the war with the dungeon with a guild of the same name.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Yoon Kyung-min and Kang Ha-jin came to Seoul. And he couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

“Uh… So you mean there’s nothing?”

“No. It will all happen soon. Because Yoon Kyung-min will do that.”

An expression of being deceived by Yoon Kyung-min’s face came to mind.

I didn’t know that there were only business cards, and there was only one card from Ha-jin Kang, the guild master, and nothing else.

He didn’t even apply for a guild, and he hadn’t found an office to use as a base for the guild.

“Uh… do you have the money? To establish a guild, you need a registration fee of 500 million won and a deposit of 1 billion won.”

“Isn’t it necessary to prepare a base to register for a guild? First, we buy the building.”

Kang Ha-jin said so and held out a bankbook to Yoon Kyung-min. Yoon Kyung-min got a passbook and checked his details.

“Ugh!”

His eyes popped out in surprise. There were 500 million in the bank account.

“Hey, is this really money for the guild?”

“why? Too little?”

Yoon Kyung-min shook his head. less! That’s 500 billion!

“First, buy a suitable one from the building. The location doesn’t matter anywhere, but it would be nice if it was as close to Jongno as possible.”

Hajin Kang really said nothing insignificant. Actually, 50 billion is not a small amount of money, but from the perspective of Kang Ha-jin, it was not a big deal.

He already earned more than 80 billion won from selling Remono’s fangs, and considering the businesses that Ha-jin Kang will be doing in the future, 50 billion won was only a penny.

If you start a subspace business, you will make a lot of money right away.

In that sense, Kyung-Min Yoon was a really important talent. Because Ha-jin Kang is a person who has to take care of and manage all the businesses that Ha-jin Kang will do in the future.

“The building must also have a workshop, so consider purchasing it. The number of guild members is still under twenty, but we plan to gradually increase it to at least 100, so consider that too. If you don’t have enough money, just tell me.”

“Uh, I see. But how much more can you use……”

“Anyway. It doesn’t matter if it’s 100 billion or 200 billion.”

Yoon Kyung-min looked blankly at Kang Ha-jin. He had so much money, but he couldn’t understand why he wanted to create a guild and enter the dungeon to do dangerous things.

“Guild, do you have to make one?”

At Yoon Kyung-min’s question, Kang Ha-jin made a puzzled expression. Yoon Kyung-min saw that expression and spoke quickly.

“With that amount of money, you can do other things and make a lot of money much safer. No matter how Awakened, the dungeon is a dangerous place.”

Hajin Kang smiled at that.

“My goal is to eliminate all dungeons from this world. Now that I hear what you are saying, I am telling you because I think it would be better to know in advance.”

Yoon Kyung-min looked blankly at Kang Ha-jin. And it occurred to me that he was probably making the stupidest expression he’d ever made in his life.
