Return To Level Up

Jeong-in was immersed in her troubles with a confused expression. She just left because she was Kang Ha-jin.

“Do you want to do your own research in A-Market?”

In fact, she was a little outrageous. Remono's fangs were originally owned by A-Market.

Buying it and reselling it with a huge profit, and doing research here again, is this a reasonable thing to say?

But if you think about it otherwise, it was a reasonable enough and good opinion. It was also something that would never have been possible if it wasn't for Kang Ha-jin.

If Ha-jin Kang hadn't stockpiled all of Remono's fangs, A-Market would have sold it out with a small profit.

“The possibilities are good enough.”

She did not have the authority to make decisions on Jeong-in. However, she was able to influence the decision-making process to some extent.

And that will come back to her with great achievements later.

Research on Lemono's fangs is not yet on track.

The basic information spreads as soon as it spreads, and the thousand fangs I bought last time were sold evenly to all research institutes.

In this situation, if A-Market establishes its own research institute and conducts research by bringing them together, it will probably achieve very quick results.

‘Then what does Hajin Kang gain?’

If she accepts the terms, she said Kang Ha-jin would make an exclusive deal with her A-Market.

That means she can keep prices from skyrocketing if she negotiates well.

Jeong-in shook her head to shake off her thoughts. For her, the important thing now is whether or not the agenda can be passed.

She stood up from her seat with a determined expression.

* * *

As soon as Ha-jin Kang left her A-market, people rushed to her as if she had been waiting.

She said that her man, who arrived first, quickly handed her a business card.

“I came from the Sungwon Group dungeon business team,” she said. Could she give me a moment?”

Before Kang Ha-jin could even receive her business card, those who arrived a little late quarreled and offered her business cards.

“This is the Sky Guild. Thank you for giving us a chance too!”

“This is the Doha Group Dungeon Business Team! Please take my business card too!”

Ha-jin Kang retreated slightly as she suddenly felt the momentum of people rushing in with her business card.

“Let’s change seats. It hurts other people.”

Then the crowd gathered around and looked around. She was swept away by a sudden rush from the member's group, and she couldn't react soberly.

Thousands of tourists were watching this place with surprised eyes. And I saw a lot of people who were annoyed because the road was suddenly blocked.

“Ah, let’s go over there first. There is a pretty big tea house over there.”

When someone came forward and offered to guide, Ha-jin Kang followed him. Then the rest of the people moved.

It's a fairly large tea house, but it was a place that provided a fairly large conference room.

However, not everyone could fit into the spacious conference room. Because so many people gathered.

So, only one representative from each organization was seated in the conference room. Still, the conference room was full and some had to stand.

Hajin Kang sat in the chair and looked around them.

Surprisingly, everyone was an Awakened. Of course, the level wasn't that high. Because the person with the highest level here was level 81.

That level 81 man opened his mouth as the representative. Anyway, just before they entered the conference room, they kissed each other to arrange things later.

“The reason we waited here for Ha-jin Kang, you guessed it, is because of Remono’s fangs. I want to buy it.”

When Ha-jin Kang looked at him without answering, he quickly continued.

“I will pay the price to your satisfaction. Please sell the whole thing instead.”

Everyone gathered in the conference room focused on Kang Ha-jin. Their eyes were unremarkable.

“A-Market called for $10,000 each.”

As soon as Ha-jin Kang's words fell out, everyone spit out small swear words.

"crazy!"

“These bastards are very determined.”

The price they thought was less than half that. But they thought it was possible. Until I just listened to Kang Ha-jin.

“I can't believe it. That's an outrageous price.”

Kang Ha-jin laughed at those words.

“Can you please me enough?”

he bit his mouth. Now, to satisfy Ha-jin Kang, you have to call in more than $10,000 each.

‘A-Market inflated greed. If you want to please him here... you'll have to call me twenty thousand dollars.'

However, he judges that Remono's fangs are worth less than $10,000. It will be the same for others.

“Then we’ll talk again later when we’re ready.”

Hajin Kang left those words and stood up.

The people gathered in the conference room only looked at the back of Ha-jin Kang as he went out, becoming dumb with honey.

* * *

Hajin Kang left the tea house and walked towards the entrance of the dungeon.

‘It’s fun.’

She found a familiar face among those gathered today.

He was related to the one that Ha-jin Kang had in mind as his second target after he had dealt with the chisel.

Ha-jin Kang's second goal was to become the successor of the Cho Won-young and Je-young groups.

Although the rankings in the business world are not so high yet, it was the Jeyoung group that rose to the top of the list of chaebols in Korea as the dungeon business boomed.

It was because of the potion business that the Jeyoung group rose to the top spot.

But right before that, there was a project that became a stairway, and that was the Ganghwa Stone project.

‘It’s really fun.’

It is not known whether Cho Won-young is involved in this or not. But either way, the result will be the same.

The Je-young group that Ha-jin Kang knew was not a group of people who chose methods and means to achieve their goals. And it was the same with Jo Won-young.

‘How are you going to come out?

Hajin Kang thought that he should acquire a skill or item related to detection as soon as possible.

‘And we need an intelligence hunter.’

It would be ideal if I could do everything by myself, but in reality, that's impossible.

So Kim Ji-hye was brought in.

It's still believable, but it shouldn't be reassuring. Hajin Kang always acted with the situation in mind.

When we almost arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, people from the tea house rushed to this place.

Hajin Kang left the dungeon without looking back.

Outside the dungeon, their crews were scattered everywhere. Since it is impossible to contact outside the dungeon, they have no choice but to act as they have been predetermined, but their choice was followed.

There weren't just one or two people following them, and as they moved around like that, the meaning of following disappeared.

Ha-jin Kang dragged the following people around for a while, and then went into a nearby apartment complex.

In a fairly large apartment complex, there are many places to temporarily cover yourself.

Ha-jin Kang with a tail behind him walked around an apartment building a bit.

And in an instant, I accelerated and ran.

The current level of Hajin Kang was a whopping 136. Strength, agility and stamina exceeded 100.

Although the level is 136, the basic stats alone were comparable to the level 200 Awakeners with high potential.

When such a strong Ha-jin decided to run, the speed of the moment was tremendous.

He passed two buildings in an instant and turned sideways. Then, he ran in a direction that did not overlap with the movement of those who followed and crossed the fence surrounding the complex.

What followed was a thousand miles.

He lowered his stance slightly, hiding his face over the low wall, and ran quickly.

Those who missed Kang Ha-jin were scattered all over the place, but by that time, Ha-jin Kang had already left.

* * *

Jeong-in hung up her phone and clenched her fists.

"done!"

When she actually made her offer she was reporting to the superiors, and she was a little impatient. Although she judged that she had no choice but to accept, she did.

Frankly, A-Market is a business that focuses more on sales than research.

Research was carried out by other companies or government research institutes, and A-Market only had to use the results.

It was impossible to replace the huge and sophisticated distribution network that was created around the world and the huge quantity that had been rapidly accumulated from the beginning of the dungeon to now.

The A-Market Board of Directors accepted A-Yeon Jung's proposal very quickly.

In addition, Jeong A-yeon became the head of the Ganghwa-seok project.

“It’s a natural result, but it feels really good.”

Her heart was pounding.

Remono's fangs, which are the main material for enchantment stones, were essential to succeed in researching enchantment stones.

And if A-market decides to do research on its own, it gets almost the only way to procure it.

So it was foolish not to accept it.

If the research is successful in that way, A-Market becomes the only entity capable of crafting reinforcement stones.

The monopoly of Ganghwa Stone, what a sweet word.

"that's enough."

Once, the thousand fangs that Ha-jin Kang sold last time were scattered around the world at research institutes.

You have to recruit the main researchers there.

“Before that, we need to set up a laboratory.”

Jeong A-yeon smiled softly as she looked at Remono's fangs, which were packed in a sturdy steel box.

She started working right away and quickly got everything in her hands.

It was not difficult for her to recruit a researcher. She also succeeded in obtaining the results of her research so far in each laboratory.

A-Market was not a company that pursued perfect morality. Rather, it was closer to the farther away from morality.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

It was really nothing to them to divulge the research results.

All of them were integrated and new research was started at A-Market's research institute.

As A-Market decided to pour money and resources into it, the results began to pile up at an incredible rate.

And finally the prototype came out.

* * *

Huge conference room.

People were sitting around a round table large enough to occupy half of the conference room.

They were the directors of A-Market.

This is how we got together because a prototype of Ganghwa Stone was released today.

Five crystal cases were placed in an orderly manner in the center of the round table, and inside each case was a jewel the size of a shiny nail.

“It seems to be of considerable value as a jewel.”

Everyone nodded in unison at someone's words. In particular, the eyes of the female directors were particularly dazzling.

Ganghwa Stone had a very mysterious light. Not just one color, but dozens of colors at the same time and alternately, I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

“It seems to be sucked into the soul. It’s really beautiful.”

Finally, the evaluation of the appearance was finished. Because there was something more important than that.

“Now, let’s check the report we all shared.”

Reports on the efficacy of ganghwaseok were clearly arranged in a single document.

“It’s amazing. Those five reinforcement stones are all different!”

“Is it even more surprising that you have no control over the outcome? If you can’t make exactly what you want, you can’t maximize your profits.”

“Not all studies have been completed yet. Now it's the start. This is only the first result. There is a lot of room for improvement.”

He expressed his opinion everywhere.

The bottom line was that it shouldn't be made and sold like this. A little more refinement was needed.

These enhancement stones could be absorbed into the item very simply by injecting magical energy.

If you use this on Awakened equipment, the performance will slightly increase.

However, the effect of the reinforcement stone was not only that.

These enhancement stones increase one of the Awakener's stats by 1.

“How far can we improve performance?”

“The possibilities are still so wide open that it’s hard to say for sure. However, he said he was confident that the next result could be at least 10 times more effective than this.”

After those words, there was silence in the conference room for a while.

They decided to focus a little more on research on reinforcement stones.
