I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 43

Episode 043

Moreover, the content was very simple.

– As a member of the Baekgwang Guild, cooperate with dungeon raids and operations.

There were a few side clauses here and there, but the main content was this one line.

There is no information about repayment of collected items, nor is there any information about forcing activities.

Ugh, with so much freedom, a lot of people gathered together and then all left.

Well, it’s nice because it doesn’t bother me, but how on earth do you run a guild?

“There is no provision for repayment of collected items, so what kind of money is used to run the guild?”

“It’s all the guild leader’s personal property.”

Assistant Manager Kim shrugged his shoulders. The

more I listen, the more I understand what they mean when they say that this guild might disappear soon.

It doesn’t matter.

By the time the guild disappears, the media’s interest in me will have faded.

That’s it . That’s enough.

Joining the guild was done by simply signing a contract. It

was a very simple process.

Afterwards, we had to go through an additional process such as measuring damage, but that didn’t take long.

“Oh, and you two, please take this.”

I took out an envelope from my inventory.

It was an envelope with money that I had previously received from two people at a cafe. I

had kept the envelope untouched since that day.

When I put it on the table, the two people waved their hands with embarrassed faces.

“More . “It’s okay if you don’t return the seeds.”

“that’s right.”

I shook my head and pushed the envelope of money in front of the two people.

“It’s because I want to give back.”

“We gave it to them because we wanted to give it to them…”

We argued over the envelope between us for a while.

In the end, the money envelope ended up back in my inventory.

With both people making the same argument, it was impossible to win.

And Seo Ji-han was watching us with a happy face.

No, why do I keep doing that…

Anyway, that’s how I joined the Baekgwang Guild.

“Wow, that’s really amazing.”

It’s so amazing.

After joining the Baekgwang Guild, reporters came to see me asking how they knew where I lived.

Although I was staying in a suite, the information seemed to have been leaked because the hotel itself was of a lower standard.

We moved hotels the very next day.

Since I no longer need to eat Kergis’ horn, I rented a standard room where I normally stay.

I thought it would be easier to avoid attention this way.

But it was the same there too.

Less than six hours after checking in, a reporter came to the hotel lobby.

In the end, it was impossible to avoid coverage.

Then we have no choice but to change our strategy.

I don’t know why, but it seemed like the media intentionally didn’t mention the Baekgwang Guild.

It’s not just my heart.

When I searched for ‘Baekgwang Guild’ on the internet, there were only a handful of articles that came up.

At least, these are the posts posted on the hunter community.

It seems like the higher-ups are trying to bury the Baekgwang Guild.

Seo Ji-han also said he thought the same thing.

And I said that cases like this are more common than you think.

So, how about talking about Baekgwang Guild in an interview?

If the guess is wrong and an article about Baekgwang Guild spreads, it would be good for the guild to be promoted, and vice versa.

I took action right away.

‘I received a request to join the Sky Guild, but I declined and joined the White Light Guild. It’s a new guild on the rise, and the guild leader seems to be a nice person. I hope many hunters come to the new guild.’

I conducted an interview with roughly this tone, and the results were beyond my imagination.

I don’t know if it was because I was disparaging the Sky Guild or because I was praising the White Light Guild, but my interview was never published in the news.

I think my opinion was quite annoying to the higher-ups.

Thanks to this, I was able to buy a house and no longer stay in hotels.

The place I am currently staying is a high-rise penthouse with a panoramic view of the night view of Seoul.

When reporters came every day, I couldn’t find a proper house for fear of my address being robbed, but now that won’t happen.

While going through all the commotion, the air, which was still cold, suddenly took on the warmth of spring.

The sun was already getting faintly hot with summer in it, just like the Korean spring that is quickly disappearing.

Under that sunlight, I am flirting with Seo Ji-han again today.

“It really didn’t come out at all. How many interviews did I do? half dozen? seven?”

– I think I did about ten.

“Right? You did a lot. But there aren’t any articles. Look, the recent article ends with the story about preventing the Guam dungeon explosion. But do you know what’s even more surprising?”

– What?

“Now I don’t even get requests for interviews. Wow, creepy.”

Seo Ji-han burst out laughing as I held his shoulder and trembled dramatically.

After Guam, we became a lot closer.

There are more than one reason.

To be honest, I’ve been hanging out with him longer than my family recently, and I’ve learned for sure that he’s completely different from what I’d heard through rumors.

But the decisive moment was the night out in Guam.

Because when people share bad things, they become closer.

– If you are buried like this, it will be good for you.

“Good. “I will be living as an unemployed person with a lot of money, so I feel burdened if I get all the attention for no reason.”

– I’m not unemployed.

“This is unemployed.”

I don’t get a salary from the guild, nor do I go to work.

He is unemployed and has nothing to do until he gets permission to attack the dungeon.

Seo Ji-han said that it is unlikely that the permit will be issued, so I will continue to be unemployed in the future.

Still, for the past few days, I’ve been going to the guild, measuring damage, and chatting with the assistant manager and assistant manager, but that’s now faded away.

Moreover, the two also said that they did not go to work every day, but three days a week.

A high salary, no need to go to work three days a week, and a work environment where you can chat with close former co-workers.

The guild leader, who is the president, is positive without any measures, but he is not the kind of person who particularly cares, and most of the time, he is not present in the company.

Wow, if it were me in the past, this is the best company I would have drooled over.

I understand why these two people keep going even though they say they might fail.

“The damage measurement has been completed and the hunter profile has been completed, so once you have decided on a team to play with, all you have to do is show up for a few training sessions.”

-There’s no need to go out.

“Yes. A team cannot be formed until permission for the attack is given.”

My rank according to the damage meter was C.

This is the maximum output of the hand-fired Chungwangpo.

It would have been stronger if I had shot him in the head, but it’s a bit disappointing.

Still, thanks to the item, my magical power increased, so it seemed like I was barely at a level where I could kill a B-class monster with one hit.

If it were weaker than this, I would have wondered how I could catch a B-class monster, but I’m glad I did.

It seemed like if I shot it without the item, it would be roughly D-level.

“But I was ranked C. “Is this hard?”

– so so. If you just look at the damage, there are quite a few hunters like that. But what’s important isn’t the damage.

“sure?”

– It’s fast. Magic hunters usually die while gathering strength.

“ah. “Is that why you told me to practice shooting with my hands instead of my head?”

If you shoot with the head, the firepower increases, but the time it takes to gather power increases.

If the skill of shooting with your head feels like Chuuuuungwaaaangpooooo!, then using it with your hands is Chungwangpot! This feeling?

I’m sure if it was a real fight, I’d be cold and die.

– Well, for various reasons.

“Hmm, by the way, what was Seo Ji-han’s damage rank?”

– me? I only know the records taken shortly after awakening.

“How many?”

– SSS level.

“and.”

As expected, the #1 ranking is different.

When I honestly admired him, he scratched his cheek and awkwardly looked away.

– Huh, that was a time when there was no Revenge of the Dead skill. It will probably go up even further if you use the Revenge of the Dead skill.

“Revenge of the Dead? What was it? Oh, the skill you got from eating a piece of Demon King Silagis? “That skill that increases attack power by adding up the damage received to the body?”

– huh. When we conquered Silagis, we had a hard time because the damage wasn’t very strong, but we took out Kergis in almost one hit. That kind of firepower didn’t exist during Silagis. After all, the most important thing in boss battles is damage.

“is it so?”

Since I was a new hunter with very little experience and he was a beginner hunter with over 5 years of experience, not a single word he said was very helpful.

He said this is common knowledge to most people, but it probably isn’t.

I don’t think everyone knows boss strategy tips.

– yes. Because it matters whether the attack works or not. Kergis also had almost no effect on my normal attacks.

“I did.”

I remembered the sight of him and Kergis continuing their boring battle for a long time.

I thought that the one who got tired first would die, and I thought it would probably be Seo Ji-han, but the result was Kergis’ death.

There is such a big difference in the results whether there is one room or not.

– When conquering Silagis, there was a buff that increased the attack power of auxiliary hunters, so I was able to catch it.

“I see. Wait, you asked me to catch the boss! “Aren’t you asking too much from a C-class damage hunter?”

– You are at C level now. How long do you think you will maintain C level damage? If you dope it with a magic power increase potion and fire a Chungwang Cannon with your head, you should be able to get Class A damage.

“Yes, it’s Class A. “They say you have to surpass SSS level to even hurt the boss monster.”

– There is a way. curious? Shall we go catch the boss?

Seo Ji-han suddenly smiled slyly and whispered.

No, why did the words suddenly jump in that direction?
