chapter 290
290 – Unconventional Compensation
Meng Seongyong waved his hand once
“Rather, I recommend that you join the White Knight Guild. However, the condition is that you keep in contact with us from now on and share the information you gain. And if the opportunity arises, I am thinking of holding meetings at regular intervals.”
“It’s an organization that operates behind the scenes without anyone knowing.”
“Yes… We are working behind the curtain. If you accept that, we will allow you to continue the service we are providing now.”
“… Huh? Service?”
Yeonhee asked what that meant, and Maeng Seongyong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled satisfied.
‘It looks like you’re talking about a tail.’
It’s been a long time since Jogiman has been following us.
However, at some point, the guy who was following us fell into a dazed state and was often unable to chase after us. We already knew that that period was after the last promotion match.
“Didn’t you know that there was someone following behind you?”
“Huh?! Well, then we were being followed?”
‘Yeonhee’s acting has also improved a lot.’
I have told Yeonhee many times that we need to hide our abilities, especially my detection abilities.
‘You can’t easily reveal your bottom line.’
“That’s right. I’ve given him some work to do since we last met. He’s probably been reporting to the client that you’ve been running around dungeons on a daily basis. LOL!”
‘That was something I was very thankful for. However, it means that after the test, the association followed in our footsteps…’
Of course, it may not have been done for a bad purpose, but you should not blindly trust the association.
“Wow… I didn’t know that. Thank you.”
Yeonhee’s eyes sparkled as if she really didn’t know, and Maeng Seongyong smiled in satisfaction.
“There is no need to know who ordered the follow-up. You shouldn’t tell them. If you hear about the subject for no reason, you will only be suspicious when you meet them in person. Acting naturally is the top priority. “
Of course, I thought the same thing, so I didn’t tell Yeonhee who it was that ordered her to follow him.
Nod-
The corner of Yeonhee’s mouth she twitched ever so slightly, as if she thought her acting was working, but even Maeng Seongyong did n’t notice
“But that’s something we could have responded to at some point. Are there any other benefits? I don’t know what we can gain by participating.”
“Hoo- It feels very different from what is known. After all, people have to experience it to know. Haha-“
As Yeonhee delved into the core logic and logic, Maeng Seongyong burst out laughing and pondered something.
“I will share some of the by-products of the great monster.”
“…?! G, G, really?! How much?”
‘Crazy?! Since it was said under oath, there can be no lies. They would give the by-products of a great monster to intermediate hunters like us.’
I don’t know how active we will be in defeating him, but our contribution will be minimal compared to other hunters. But you can definitely receive such a treasure.
‘I have to do this no matter what.’
The by-products of ordinary monsters of a lower grade than the great monsters are also used to make equipment for S-class hunters, and I had no idea how amazing equipment could be made with materials obtained from the great monsters.
‘At least it will be possible to produce equipment comparable to Hyun Joong-gil’s beloved sword…’
The sword that Hyun Joong-gil used not long ago when he cut down the monster ‘Spiny Hippopotamus’ with a single sword. I know that it was made by refining the ‘Great Monster’s Claw’ that he received as a reward for his contribution in subduing the Great Monster in the past.
Its value is indescribable.
“I will try my best to match at least the orb or staff you are holding, as well as the armor.”
‘One piece each of weapons and armor… It’s a truly unconventional offer. But I guess I’ll have to push a little harder for this opportunity.’
I conveyed my intention to Yeonhee through Ran, who was riding on my shoulder, and Yeonhee nodded and spoke again.
“Contribution.”
“Hmm?”
“I want to receive more shares depending on my contribution.”
“… Fuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha haha!!”
With our current strength, I’m not sure if we’ll be able to perform well and be evaluated as a contributor, but you never know when that time comes.
He laughed for a while, wondering what Yeonhee said was so funny, and then said with a serious face.
“But if you gain something, you also lose something. How about this? I’ll take the offer you just mentioned. Instead, if you don’t make the minimum contribution, you will be deprived of the right to distribute the by-products that I originally proposed. How about this?”
“… That’s too much.”
“No. Isn’t that too much? Rather, it is too much for you to receive distribution rights among the early awakeners and top hunters.”
‘That’s what you suggested…’
In any case, will Yeonhee receive the lottery that is basically guaranteed, or will she aim for a bigger prize? I stood at a crossroads.
After touching her chin for a moment, she nodded her head and accepted Maeng Seong-yong’s offer for her.
“Good! Mmm! Good!”
I don’t know what he liked so much, but Maeng Seong-yong seemed to really like Yeon-hee.
‘You have eyes for people.’
It is unlikely that Yeonhee is given preferential treatment simply because she is the only class. Perhaps it is because of this insight that he is given such an important role despite being of a relatively low rank.
I think this person’s influence may have played a role in attracting low-level hunters like us.
“I will provide you with a means of communication soon. And I believe you will know your role without even telling you.”
“Yes. Spreading and stopping the cubs… Is that what you want?”
“That’s right. By then, your summons will be several times larger than they are now. Of course, I also look forward to the performance of your friend next to you. The biggest bonus in attracting you this time is actually the skeleton next to you. “
‘Because of me? Are the lecturer’s opinions reflected? Hmm… I appreciate your words, though. It’s a bit burdensome…’
Maeng Seongyong smiled at me, showing his healthy teeth
Afterwards, we exchanged unimportant small talk with Maeng Seong-yong and left.
In general, small talk is.
“Are you meeting anyone?”
“…Yes?”
“No, I have a nice youngest nephew-“
“I have no thoughts. Never.”
“······.”
It was that kind of conversation. Worthless that you don’t even need to remember.
After politely greeting Maeng Seong-yong, we checked to see if there were any shortcomings in the conversation we had just had on the way home.
“I think I could have ripped it off a little more, but I’m so bad at speaking…”
I practiced pulling out bones and refining the shape, and cheered up Yeonhee as she expressed her regret.
In fact, it was a very good negotiation by my standards, but Yeonhee seemed too nervous and she promised to do better next time.
When Yeonhee arrived home, she didn’t get much sleep and woke up only late in the afternoon.
In the meantime, I was practicing swordsmanship and pulling out bones, and when Yeonhee woke up, I told her that I had a place to go.
“Um, that neighborhood in the alley the other day?”
Nod-
A few days ago, the place where I shared deep skinship with Yeonhee. This is because it reminded me of the insidious group that had been detected there.
“Come with me! I’m stronger now!”
Today, after gaining enlightenment and growing to the next level, she shows confidence like never before.
‘Hmm…’
Because of the existence of the earring artifact, I readily agreed. She jumped up and down with joy.
After completing the preparations, I picked up Yeonhee and flew straight to where the guys were.
He then landed on an officetel and activated [Mimicking].
When I transformed into a humanoid, Yeonhee stroked my face with her hand and then took me into her arms.
“Ah… Good.”
I hugged Yeonhee, who had been struggling for a few days, and she kissed her forehead and then looked at her mini map.
However, the closest insidious group was marked 20km away, and the area was kept clean.
‘…Where did it go?’
Although the time zone is different from then, this is where up to a hundred people were encamped.
It was strange that not a single person was present, not just a momentary absence.
Once we entered the building where they were located, we were greeted only by a clean and organized office space.
“No dust has accumulated. It looks like it’s only been a few days since it fell out.”
“Yes.”
Was the organization here ‘Blue Eyes’ or were they related to ‘Tao’?
I narrowed my senses to the building as much as possible and looked around.
“Hmm – ‘Inbam’ and ‘Jinhwasu’…”
“Can you feel that?”
“Yes… I think I understand now. The scent remains faint.”
I think the guys here were probably members of the ‘Do’ organization.
“The scent… Is connected. It seems like the drug ingredients were flowing little by little as they moved around.”
“Really? Can you follow along?”
“Yes.”
Since they had just left, I was lucky enough to track them down by following the scent.
And the place we arrived was where the insidious group that had been detected on the mini-map was located.
‘Of course it is. It didn’t go far.’
However, their numbers had decreased significantly, and there were not many products related to the evolution tree left.
‘You could have stored it in a subspace and left the rest outside.’
(What are you going to do?)
Yeonhee asked me in a whisper.
Normally, I would have killed them one by one right away, but since she was there, I unconsciously felt hesitation in her actions.
Yeonhee looked at me like that and whispered with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
(I’m fine. Those bad guys. Let’s not forgive them.)
Nod-
The place they were in was a container-type building disguised as a repair shop with a fairly large site, and it had five exits.
‘Lan, give me the possibility of [Rock Wall].’
After Lan soon realized the potential of my rock attribute magic, he became more and more lazy and the summoning was cancelled.
(I just turned it off.)
Nod-
30 minutes brings possibilities.
Although his abilities were greatly reduced due to [Mimicking], With Yeonhee’s summons, it was not difficult to subdue lower-level hunters below E level.
It’s just that these preliminary preparations were necessary to quietly suppress them.
[Rock Wall]
Drurrrruk-
– Huh?! What, what!
– The enemy!!
They realized they had been attacked, but they panicked because all the exits were blocked by huge rocks.
Soon, when they saw that a halo of light was forming around them and huge Lizardmen and Orcs were being summoned, they were frightened and fired their skills.
But.
Titty teasing─!
“Kruk?”
The Orc looked at them with an expression as if this were all your power, and quickly overpowered the ‘Do’ members.
“Quaa!! Oh, we didn’t do anything! Really! Are you really—?”
As soon as he is suppressed, he begs for help as to what is so bothersome.
‘There’s no need to ask.’
Because I had already experienced it several times, I knew that questioning it was pointless.
Suddenly—!
– Obtained ‘Fragment of Contaminated Elixir of Life’. (8/100)
The guy who was earnestly insisting on his innocence flew into the sky and dropped a fragment of his elixir of life.
“If you’re going to lie… You should first erase the scent of Jinhwa Water that has lingered on your body.”
I shook my head and cut off the heads of those tightly bound by the summoned beasts one by one.
Suddenly-!
Seo Geo-eok─
‘Be thankful that it kills you with a single sword.’
– Obtained ‘Fragment of Contaminated Elixir of Life’. (19/100)
In the end, they all were killed without leaving a single one behind.
‘Everyone has a new cell phone. Is this an order from the leader?’
The fact that the leader of the ‘Do’ was injured while trying to return my skill may have led to this result.
