Ordinary Art Factor [EN]: Chapter 83

“What’s going on?”

“It happens sometimes. Passing the buck.”

“What does?”

“This industry is all about subcontracting. To get paid, you have to keep going up the chain, but if it gets cut off in the middle….”

It was obvious, and it seemed like the ‘gapjil’ [abuse of power by someone in a superior position] I was thinking of was right.

“Let’s go in together. One phone call will do it.”

“Aren’t we bothering them?”

“Bothering? Well, someone might be bothered. Heh heh.”

My father gave a strange smile and stood up, and we entered the prefabricated container together.

Office supplies were scattered around, but it didn’t look like there had been a fistfight. Two men in their early 60s were smoking with a man in his mid-40s.

“Hey, Han, who’s that?”

“Huh, a face I’ve seen somewhere.”

“Looks just like Han. Is that his son?”

“Yeah. My eldest son. An Awakened.”

“Heh heh. Han. That’s not a funny joke… Oh, oh!”

“I’ve seen him somewhere… I just can’t place it….”

“H-Han Jiwon, the support Guild Leader of the Jeju Regional Defense Guild!”

The man in his mid-40s, who had been staring blankly at me, shouted the answer.

“I told you. The guy you see on TV is my eldest son. Haha, hahaha.”

My father’s hearty laughter echoed in the container office, and I quietly took out my phone.

“The ordering party is the Jeju branch, right?”

“Yes, yes. It’s a project ordered by the General Affairs Department of the Support Management Team.”

“Okay. Just a moment.”

Everyone was looking back and forth between me and my father, and I made a call to someone.

“Yes. It’s me… Yes, of course, something’s up. I’m in a very interesting situation right now. The support team is led by Team Leader Go Yong-seok, right? What’s wrong with him? No. Shouldn’t he be managing and supervising how his subordinates are working? … Where am I? I’m near Ara Elementary School, but why? ….”

I finished the call after about five minutes and hung up.

My father, who had been watching from the side, asked, curious.

“Who were you talking to? You were just calling the team leader’s name?”

“The branch manager.”

“Huh? The branch manager?”

“If it’s the Jeju branch of the Association, isn’t the branch manager the top dog? You have to call the top dog to get things done quickly. It’ll be taken care of within 30 minutes. Let’s have a cup of coffee while we wait.”

“Huh? Uh.”

While my father, with a slightly surprised look, sat on the sofa, I turned on the coffee pot.

As I tore open the mix coffee packet and prepared a paper cup, the man in his 40s, who had been quiet until now, finally came to his senses and hurriedly took out his phone to make a call.

Shortly after.

Less than five minutes after the call with the branch manager ended, Team Leader Go Yong-seok from the Association’s support team called, but I ignored it.

After that, there were a few more calls from unknown numbers, but I still ignored them all.

Before 30 minutes had even passed, the first to arrive was the president of the construction company that had received the subcontract.

“…I will make sure the payment is made immediately.”

“Hey~ that’s not right. Then you’re paying with your own money, Mr. President. Right?”

“Yes. Of course, that’s true, but we’ll get it later anyway….”

“That’s not what I want. Just wait a moment.”

After the president of the subcontracted construction company, the director of the company that won the project came to the office, and later, the General Affairs Manager of the Jeju branch support team, and even Team Leader Go, came.

“Mr. Han Jiwon. There was a slight error in the administrative procedures….”

“The inspection of the project hasn’t been completed yet.”

“An error in the administrative procedures? That’s the Association’s fault, so you should pay consolation money. And the inspection of the project? The branch does the inspection, right? Why are you taking your anger out on others for the delayed inspection? This… this is not good. Is this all the Jeju branch is capable of? Really? I’m suddenly, like, disappointed….”

“Pay the consolation money and do the inspection right now! What are you doing! General Affairs Manager. Don’t prepay the project cost to the ordered company!”

“Yes? How can I do that here… I have to submit a request.”

“The person with the authority to approve it right above you is me! Above me is the branch manager! Don’t you know the branch manager is coming here right now? Handle it immediately!”

“Yes, yes.”

The General Affairs Manager takes out his phone and hurries out.

Remote work? I don’t know about that, but someone under him will write the documents. I don’t need to worry about it.

“Ah~ this guy. That’s not it.”

In the end, even the branch manager showed up.

“I’m disappointed. Disappointed.”

“No. That’s not it. We’ve known each other for more than a day or two, why are you doing this? Anyway, is this your father? Haha. Nice to meet you. I’m Han Tae-hwan, the Jeju branch manager of the Korea Awakened Association. You’ve raised your son really well. I have a son too, but he’s over 40 and still not married, so I have a headache….”

The branch manager, who was acting friendly to me, approached my father and treated him like an old friend.

Well, their ages are similar, and my father is showing a hearty laugh to someone he’s meeting for the first time. Suddenly, the atmosphere becomes warm, and even Team Leader Go Yong-seok joins my father.

“Son.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s stop and get up. The Association and the ordered company will take care of everything.”

“I’ll watch the deposit being made.”

“Hey. The branch manager said so, would he not keep his word? Isn’t that right? Branch Manager.”

“Haha. Of course. The payment will probably be processed within an hour or two. By the way, how about dinner tonight? I feel like I’ve caused you trouble, so I’ll treat you.”

“Haha. No. I’m going to have dinner with my son for the first time in a while. Let’s have a meal next time. Branch Manager.”

“Yes. I understand. I can’t ruin a father and son’s dinner time.”

“Then, I’ll see you next time. Sorry for the trouble.”

“No. It’s our fault. If it wasn’t for Han Jiwon, it wouldn’t have been resolved even now.”

“Haha. Then I’ll be on my way.”

“Yes, yes. Go carefully.”

I roughly wrapped things up and left the temporary office.

The site manager, the president of the construction company, the director of the ordered company, the team leader and general affairs manager of the Jeju branch support team, and even the branch manager came out to see me off. No, if I disappear, these people will leave too.

In the end, the payment was not deposited into my father’s account. I only received a promise that it would be processed as soon as possible.

As I walked to the parking lot with a slightly bitter feeling, my father said one word.

“Eldest son.”

“Yes.”

“…Thank you.”

My father’s one word.

I don’t need anything else, that one word was enough. The gloomy mood disappears completely.

Shortly after.

Just as I was starting to drink soju [Korean distilled rice liquor] with side dishes at a nearby raw fish restaurant.

‘Woong… woong.’

It’s my wife.

“Yeah. What’s up?”

‘Honey. I’m looking at a 1,800-pyeong [approximately 5,950 square meters or 1.47 acres] lot on the Oedo coastal road, and the scenery is amazing. What should we do?’

“Coastal road? … How much per pyeong?”

‘Just a moment. The real estate agent is here. I’ll switch you over.’

‘I’ve switched the phone. This is Park Jin-soo from OO Real Estate. Are you, by any chance, Han Jiwon from the Jeju branch of the Defense Guild?’

“Yes. This is Han Jiwon.”

‘Oh my gosh! It was real! I’m honored!’

Are there fakes who act like me? Anyway.

Oedo coastal road… it’s perfect for fishing. The area is a bit large, but.

“…Go ahead with the purchase. And a construction company you know… Ah! Never mind. Please proceed with the purchase as soon as possible.”

“Yes, yes. I understand. I will do my best.”

In the end, I couldn’t ask how much it was per pyeong. No, there’s no reason to ask.

A detached house on the coastal road… and that much space….

“Dad.”

“What?”

“Can you build a house?”

“Well….”

“Let’s build about three three-story detached houses ourselves.”

“How many pyeong is it?”

“1,800 pyeong.”

“…Why only build three houses on such a large piece of land? Build more and sell them… No. Ahem. Are you paying for the materials and labor?”

“Of course. Open a business in your name this time, Dad.”

“What kind of business?”

“A construction company.”

“Where do I get the money… are you paying for it?”

“Yes.”

“You can’t start a construction company just because you have money. Related….”

“I’ll invest 10 billion won. Is that enough?”

“…Are you serious?”

“Yes.”

“To invest a quarter of the amount you have….”

The 40 billion won from the Seoul City Hall Class 3 clear reward and the auction proceeds that my wife mentioned.

I have to reveal that it’s not that someday, but not now.

“I just had an idea. Since it’s on the coastal road, let’s bring in seawater and create a reservoir about 3~5m deep and 500 pyeong in the middle, build a gazebo in the center, and there….”

“Fishing?”

“That’s right.”

“Fish farm?”

“Natural.”

“You’ll need someone to manage it, too?”

“Let’s build a couple more houses. Night fishing from the gazebo at night….”

“Since it’s 1,800 pyeong, let’s go with exactly 800 pyeong. The depth should be over 7m. In the summer, the edges should be covered with about 1m of sand so you can swim, and if you want wave generators, seaweed, and oxygen, you need to find a company that does aquariums….”

My father starts talking about this and that with an excited look.

The sea fishing I went to with my father since I was a child.

I still remember what you said back then.

Your dream is to go night fishing in front of your house by the sea.

Since it’s a coastal road, you can go out in front of the house, but it’s more atmospheric to fish from the gazebo and have spicy fish stew with soju… That’s it. My mouth is watering, let’s stop.

What did I order? Rockfish? Black porgy? I have to order the spicy fish stew in advance, too. Spicy fish stew is rockfish. Of course….

Like father, like son. When a common point comes out, ideas spring up.

Still, to do this, you have to be rich, so it’s possible.

A few days later.

I went to see the site my wife was talking about.

A large plot of land spread out in the direction of the sea based on the Oedo Ilju Road.

Originally, they were going to run an orchard, but they pushed it away, changed the use, and planned to build a building, but I don’t really believe it. What kind of frozen orchard near the sea without a windbreak? It’s not a rain cover (greenhouse) either. Don’t lie.

“What’s the total amount?”

“It was 2.17 million won per pyeong, but I matched it to 2.1 million won. In addition….”

“Just the amount.”

“Including fees and various taxes, it’s 4.1573 billion….”

“Can I put in 4.2 billion won?”

“T-Thank you.”

“Can you make a road from that Ilju Road to here?”

“You have to check with the city hall… it will be possible. No, it is possible. Shall we proceed?”

“Yes. And connect it so that you can go back up to Ilju Road on the back side. So that vehicles can enter easily.”

“I understand.”

“Let’s start with the groundworks. Call a excavator and heavy equipment and build five buildings with one basement floor and three above ground… Huh? Just a moment.”

I was looking around the land with the real estate agent when I suddenly had a strange thought.

Of course, building a building is something that people and equipment do, but the groundworks and the so-called reservoir of 800 pyeong….

“Don’t tell anyone. Zullut, summon all Drakan!”

“[Tring! Summons 520 Zulluts (Defense + Attack 200%).]

[Tring! Summons 380 Drakans ((Defense + Attack 200%).]”

“Heok!”

“Dig 4m deep from that side to that side, and over 10m deep from that side to this side. Break anything in the ground, whether it’s rocks or stones. The dug-up soil is… um, dig first!”

As soon as I finished speaking, hundreds of Zulluts and Drakans scattered in all directions.

Zulluts stabbing the floor with long gauntlets and Drakans firing cannonballs at rocky areas.

The real estate agent who came with me couldn’t close his open mouth at this absurd situation.

But what about the dirt? Should I call heavy equipment after all?

The next day.

I paid the real estate agent the full amount in a lump sum and called all the warrior-type Awakeners among the guild members.

As soon as they arrived at the purchased site, they opened their mouths wide.

“H-Hyungnim [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend]!”

“Guild Leader!”

“Why?”

“Is this okay? If other people see this….”

“So what. My summons? Unit? Anyway, I’m using what I summoned as I please, who’s going to say anything? It’s not like I’m harming other people. It’s okay.”

“S-Still.”

“Stop talking nonsense, change your clothes, and pick up a shovel.”

“Yes?”

“Did you come to play? I’ll give you a daily wage, so pick up a shovel.”

“…I, I’ve never done construction work before?”

“You’ll get used to it. And you’re a warrior. You have to use your strength at times like this. When else are you going to use it? There’s nothing special about clearing dungeons either.”

“…H-Hyungnim.”

Most of them, including Gil-soo, who is so upset, have a blank expression.

Of course, it would be okay to use heavy equipment to handle it, but it would be nice to finish quickly if we put our hands on it quickly.

And I gave you a ride on the bus. If a person receives a favor, they have to repay it. Of course, of course. Heh heh.

“Hoo, hoo.”

“Heok, heok….”

“The grace of the goddess Idea! Personal Heal!”

“Ah~ really! Han-deuk, stop giving me heals!”

“Stop talking nonsense and dig quickly. If you don’t finish by today, think for yourself.”

“Hyungnim!”

“If you don’t finish to that side by sunset, you’re expelled.”

“Aaaack~!”

“The grace of the goddess Idea! Personal Heal!”

“Hey~ you ssaekkya [vulgar term, similar to ‘bastard’ or ‘jerk’]!”

“Want to die?”

“Aaaack, aaaack~!”

Because the warrior-type Awakeners were exhausted after 3 hours, I ended up calling all the guild members.

Healers and cleric-type Awakeners were excited to give heals and blessings to the warriors, and the mages dug up rocks and the ground with the Zulluts and Drakans. The ground was torn apart by fire magic, and the rocks were broken.

After all, Awakeners are better than heavy equipment at building a house.

A week later.

After the groundworks were finished, full-scale construction began.

Of course, I didn’t waste time on the structure and design of the detached house, it was all in the architectural office. Samples.

Choose the most luxurious, practical, and beautiful structure and put it together, and that’s it.

Isn’t it a world where you can’t do anything if you don’t spend money? Staying up all night is their job, not mine. Heh heh.

My father is showing interest in building a house in earnest, and my mother comes to see it with my wife every day and then leaves.

Seeing that my wife is spending time exploring restaurants these days, I should prepare a restaurant or a restaurant for her later.

Why would I save money when the reason I earn it is to spend it with my family? Saving is a waste. It just turns into nothing.

You have to spend as much as you earn. That’s how money circulates, and that’s what makes the economy go round.

The next day, afternoon.

I briefly stopped by the guild office to hear reports on the team clearing the 7-star dungeon and the city’s operation of the 6-star mech dungeon. With some time to spare, I was about to head home when a man in his mid-40s spotted me near the entrance and hurried over to speak.

“Excuse me, are you Guild Leader Han Jiwon of Jiwon Guild?”

“Yes, I am. What can I do for you?”

“Ah, finally I’ve met you. I’m Go Taek-geun, the chief of staff for the chairman of the Korea Awakeners Association. We spoke on the phone once before. I came down to Jeju myself because I couldn’t reach you.”

“Okay. So what do you want?”

“As I mentioned before, our chairman would like to meet Han Jiwon…”

“As I said before, tell him to come down if he wants to see me. Goodbye.”

“…Jiwon, Han Jiwon. I’m telling you again, this is the chairman! The chairman of the Korea Awakeners Association!”

So what? You heard what I said. Are you deaf?

I ignored the chief of staff shouting behind me and went inside.

How annoying. I should order some bossam [steamed pork belly] and have a shot of soju [Korean rice wine]… It’s only 4 PM. I’ll eat later. Heh heh.

A few days later.

We moved to the new Jiwon Guild office. No, we moved to the newly purchased building near Nohyeong Rotary.

Including the existing Jiwon Guild members and the three team leaders who came down from SG Guild, Hongchan finally came down from Seoul.

“Is everything settled?”

“For now, yes. And Seoul will be a branch, right?”

“That’s right. We’re supposed to be the defense guild for the Jeju region, so the headquarters should be in Jeju. There are a lot of promises to keep.”

“Then here? Only 100 members need to be stationed, as per the guild’s initial condition?”

“Yeah. I don’t think it’s really necessary, but a condition is a condition. And when will the Awakener Act be changed? I heard it passed?”

“Do you think laws change overnight? There’s a grace period.”

“Grace period, my ass. We’re not ordinary people. They won’t come to their senses until another dungeon breaks out. Tsk.”

*Knock knock.*

“What?”

“Guild Leader, you have a visitor. It’s, well…”

“Who is it? If it’s someone strange, send them back…”

I was talking to Park Jimin, the priest-type guild member who serves as my secretary, when someone pushed her aside and came in. A man in his late 60s and four Awakener men accompanying him. What’s this?

“Haha… you’re hard to meet. I’m the chairman.”

“…So?”

“Insolent! Can’t you get up to greet me!”

“You think you can get away with anything just because you run a small guild!”

What is this? A group of lunatics?

The head of the association’s support headquarters I saw last time seemed like a decent person.

“Ha… I’ve seen all sorts of things in my life.”

“Ji, Jiwon. Still, watch your words. He’s the chairman…”

“Why are you like this, hyung [older brother/male friend]? And you, mister.”

“What, mister? You little…!”

“You need to taste some pain to come to your senses!”

“Ha… seriously.”

Suppressing the bubbling anger, I stood up and said one thing.

“Since you’ve come all the way here, come this way. And the rest of you hangers-on, wait outside.”

“Wh, what!”

“You! How dare you!”

“Stop!”

The chairman approached me, stopping his entourage.

You can tell what the boss is like by looking at the people below him. I don’t know if they’re bodyguards or secretaries, but with all this nonsense they’ve been doing, I’ve really held back a lot.

“It’s also our fault for coming without an appointment, so let’s move on. Didn’t you tell us to come? You should stop too.”

“…….”

The chairman sat down on the best seat on the sofa where I had been sitting and clicked his tongue. Is he asking for tea?

I used the intercom to ask for green tea and black tea, then gestured for the four hangers-on to leave.

As the hangers-on, their faces completely flushed, closed the door and left, the chairman burst into a hearty laugh.

“Hahaha… those guys are no pushovers either. But they’re treated like leftovers here.”

“Leftovers? They’re not even fit for dog food.”

“…Haha, hahaha. Your jokes are too much.”

The chairman looked at me with sharp eyes that didn’t suit his age.

“It’s not a joke, it’s the truth. Should I show you?”

I stared back at the chairman.

I have a personality that bounces back the more you push me. I’m flexible when I need to be, or, to put it badly, I have a petty personality.

“What brings the chairman all the way to Jeju?”

Hongchan hyung interjected, trying to lighten the tense atmosphere.

“You’re the SG Guild Leader. I heard you did an M&A [mergers and acquisitions]? I hope you know what you’re doing, but isn’t that a bad choice?”

“Well, I don’t know yet, but there’s a high possibility it’s the best choice.”

“Is that so?”

Damn it. What’s going on here? Doing this in front of the person involved.

“Since we all seem busy, let’s get straight to the point, Jiwon Guild Leader.”

“…Go ahead.”

“Well, whatever. I want you to proceed with clearing the Seoul City Hall 3-star Bio Dungeon with a few other guilds.”

“Are those few guilds Sasung, LC, and Jilpung by any chance?”

“You’re right on the mark.”

“No thanks. We’ll do it ourselves.”

“Are you going to say that even though the chairman has come all the way down to Jeju to say this?”

“Even if the president of this country came, I wouldn’t do what I don’t want to do. Especially if a proxy comes and gives me an order that doesn’t sound like a request.”

“…Ha. You’re just a naive bumpkin who grew up in Jeju and doesn’t know your place. Tsk tsk.”

“You’re just a senile old man who grew up in Seoul and can’t tell left from right. Tsk tsk.”

*Thump.*

The chairman slammed the table with his fist.

“Summon all Dark Assassins!”

[Ding! Summons 4 Dark Assassin entities.]

*Bang! Crackle.*

At the same time, the guild leader’s office door burst open and the four hangers-on rushed in.

With a white flash, their greatswords were summoned, and I recognized the Dark Assassins.

“You! You’re a cocky brat who’s lost all sense of fear…”

“If you say another word, your head will be rolling.”

“Ji, Jiwon!”

“Forget it! I can just wipe out these five here and bury them.”

“Kuh-heuk. You!”

“Kuh-heuk.”

The four hangers-on were about to move, but blood started flowing from their necks.

Four Dark Assassin entities invisible to their eyes.

Behind the hangers-on, a long greatsword was resting on their necks. The slightest movement would tear their skin and cause blood to flow.

What’s the point of being warrior-type Awakeners? Invisible assassins are holding greatswords to their necks.

“Do you think you’ll be safe after this?”

“You keep talking to yourself, did you not hear what I just said? I said I’d wipe you out and bury you, right?”

“The Korea Awakener Act isn’t so lenient, is it? Do you think your family will be safe?”

“Dead men tell no tales. I don’t think it’s something an old man like you should worry about?”

“Is that so? Then go ahead and try.”

Oh ho? That’s quite the nerve.

“Really? Then let’s do it.”

I looked at the Dark Assassins and told them to wound the hangers-on’s necks….

“Kuh-heuk.”

“Keo-heuk.”

“Wa, wait!”

Of course. Why put on a tough act for no reason?

People who have a lot are afraid of losing it. Whether it’s wealth, power, or honor.

Those who have nothing are ignorant and brave.

I never had anything to begin with. Nothing.

How dare you bring up my family? You old geezer. You’re screwed. You son of a bitch!

“What? Writing your will?”

I looked at the chairman as if nothing was wrong.

The chairman’s trembling eyes told me his current state of mind.

“I, I was wrong.”

“Too late. Let’s take care of the hangers-on first, then it’s your turn, mister. Hyung, go outside and send everyone back.”

I gave Hongchan hyung a subtle hint as he looked at me, and he hesitated before leaving.

“Everyone, walk this way. Slowly, very slowly. Little by little… yes, like that.”

I recognized the Dark Assassins as the hangers-on walked. After having them sit on the sofa, I looked at the chairman.

“Is that what they told you to do? To get themselves a piece of the pie by having you squeeze us in on the regen clear? Because once they get in, they can keep getting in?”

“…Th, that’s right.”

“Why didn’t they come themselves, and you came instead?”

“They asked me to. They said you’re too difficult to deal with.”

That’s probably it. They broke up so badly during the dungeon clear, what face would they have to show now? Moreover, their pride isn’t what ordinary people think it is.

That aside, what did this old man think of me to act like this?

“Do you know who I am?”

“I know roughly. Han Jiwon, the Jiwon Guild Leader of the Jeju region defense guild. A summoner and elementalist. The summonable units are Zulluts and Drakans, a dozen or so, and without the mages…”

“Haa~ Mister. Have you not seen the Idea Mirror video that Sasung bought at auction this time?”

“…That’s right.”

“What about TV or the internet? I’m quite well-known in the country, you know?”

“Most media reports are exaggerated or full of nonsense…”

“Ha….”

That’s why it’s like this. What exactly did those gold spoons [people born into wealth] say to make you act like this?

“Guild Leader, we’re ready.”

“Okay. Dispose of the weapons, blindfold them, and put them in the car. If they move even a little, their heads will be split vertically. Keep that in mind.”

“Kuh-heuk.”

“Wh, where are you taking us? Are you not afraid of the power of the association and the law!”

“Afraid? I’m more afraid!”

After tying up the struggling hangers-on, the warrior-type guild members, surrounded by the chairman who was sweating profusely, moved to City Hall.

Shortly after.

As dusk began to fall awkwardly, even a drizzle started to come down.

Good setting, good atmosphere.

I don’t know how Hongchan hyung explained it, but a play that wasn’t quite a play, led by Handeuk and Gilsu, along with the team leader-level guild members, began.

“Guild Leader. Is it that place again this time?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you sure it’s okay? Isn’t this the first time with an executive from the main association?”

“Who cares? We can just say they went to the dungeon and died. Did you bring the mirror?”

“Yes.”

“That’s the decisive evidence, so record it well. You’ll take the blame if you mess up.”

“Understood.”

“Mmph~ Mmphmm!”

“Mmph….”

The sounds of the hangers-on and the chairman being gagged could be heard from behind.

Handeuk and Gilsu, along with Jihye and Mihae, Choi Eunji and Kim Eunhee, and other team leader-level guild members, moved together, so the bound hangers-on and the chairman didn’t look strange to ordinary people.

Moreover, the Dark Assassins had sharp greatswords on their necks. Struggling would only add more wounds to their necks.

5 minutes after entering the Jeju City Hall 6-star Mech Dungeon regen clear.

After entering the mech dungeon we operate, we removed their blindfolds and restraints before starting the recording with the Idea Mirror.

It’s a rigged game, but we pay attention to the details of the supporting actors’ performance.

It would be strange if the supporting actors disappeared while blindfolded. Not that I have any intention of doing that anyway.

“Summon Probe! Create Crystal! Create Gateway! Create Acceleration Core, Drakan Core, Land Core! Produce Shuttle!”

I quickly went through the tech tree, summoning Probes and producing Shuttles. After producing three Shuttles with plenty to spare, I loaded the hangers-on and the chairman, who were making blank expressions, and headed towards the multi [resource gathering point].

25 minutes after entering the Jeju City Hall 6-star Mech Dungeon regen clear.

“Summon all Zulluts!”

[Ding! Summons 520 Zulluts (Defense+Attack 200%).]

“Wipe them out!”

Before 10 minutes had passed since we discovered the first multi and summoned the Zulluts, we destroyed the multi, and the chairman and hangers-on finally spoke.

“Oh, my god!”

“Unbelievable!”

“Hu, hundreds of Zu, Zulluts!”

“…Kuh-heum.”

Why are you so surprised already? We haven’t even started yet.

I told Handeuk earlier. Today, we’ll only look after the hangers-on. I’ll proceed with the clear alone.

1 hour and 10 minutes after entering the Jeju City Hall 6-star Mech Dungeon regen clear.

After destroying the second multi in a similar way to the first, we moved to the main base.

“Mu, Multiple Defense Towers!”

“Then it’s a 6-star or higher?”

“How can you solo a 6-star or higher dungeon….”

Oh ho~ The hangers-on’s explanations are diverse and good. I glanced at the chairman, who was trembling, wondering what he was thinking. Is it senility?

“Summon all Zulluts, Drakans, Grub Tanks, and Torkans!”

[Ding! Summons 488 Zulluts (Defense+Attack 200%).]

[Ding! Summons 363 Drakans (Defense+Attack 200%).]

[Ding! Summons 14 Grub Tanks.]

[Ding! Summons 17 Torkans.]

The dungeon floor, viewed from the Shuttle, was completely covered in white light.

Hundreds of units appeared in an instant.

The hangers-on, seeing the units other than the Zulluts for the first time, were only able to exclaim in shock.

Still, for now,

“Destroy everything except the Nexus [the core building]!”

Hundreds of Zulluts and Drakans charged towards the Multiple Defense Towers, followed by the Torkans and Grub Tanks.

1 hour and 40 minutes after entering the Jeju City Hall 6-star Mech Dungeon regen clear.

“We’ll just mine minerals.”

“Okay.”

Handeuk took the rest of the guild members except for Gilsu to mine minerals, and the four hangers-on and the chairman were sitting on the dungeon floor.

It’s been like this ever since we got off the Shuttle.

They occasionally look at me or at the destroyed Nexus. And they also look at the Zulluts and Drakans surrounding us.
