- Volume 2 Episode 4

Gi Chul-min's explanation seemed to give him a rough idea of ​​how things were going.

All in all, it seemed certain that there were more opportunities than running a sleigh pot or running a raid.

However, it was also considered dangerous.

That is probably why Ki Chul-min hesitated after accepting the offer.

Jung Daesik watched Jung-gong work several times as a porter.

The reason they hire dealers from outside is to save power.

This is to reduce the effort of catching miscellaneous mobs and to reduce damage when boss mobs appear.

To put it bluntly, it's a shield.

Blinded by the high pay, many dealers followed, but the chance of them surviving was only half.

In the case of a real garbage raid, they hardly cared for the lives of the dealers.

They treat it as a tool they deserve to sacrifice for themselves, and they go in to make money and come out as a corpse.

It would be nice if it turned into a corpse.

If the hunt failed, most of the bodies could not be brought out.

There were many cases where the body was deliberately left behind.

This is because if you become a missing person rather than a dead person, you can delay the payment of the promised remuneration.

It even voided the contract itself.

It's okay if you get rid of them for not working with such a dealer in the first place.

It's very dog-like.

However, not all raids went like this.

Usually, the raid is a place that many hunters envy, and the external image was very important.

After becoming an extended reality world, the role of hunters is to take responsibility for the safety of citizens from monsters, so this is because they have become public figures such as police and soldiers.

In addition, as it is closely related to government agencies, it is impossible to take actions that are against the law or against social morals.

The biggest reason is that, again, it can be sanctioned by a nationally authorized enforcement hunter.

National Certified Enforcement Hunter.

These characters, so-called 'executors', were like a kind of secret word.

These were all made up of level 5 or higher hunters, and when they were given a mission, they would take on the role for a while, and then return the authority as soon as the mission was completed.

Nothing concrete was known about this authority, but it seemed almost invincible.

There were rumors that it was possible to mobilize some soldiers and police, and that the equipment and talents of the raids registered in the state could be borrowed and used at will.

Because they could receive support from the state, even if they were all-out and violent, the name Executioner was a feared target for illegal raiders and hunters.

There were no cases where the executor was dispatched for any reason, but if they did, it was supposed to be the end.

As a result, the execution rate of the executors was quite high.

This is because the government has a strong attitude towards the Awakened Crimes.

Korea had a higher level of hunters than any other country in the world.Naturally, there were many problems that resulted from it, so a rather extreme solution was needed.

Of course, the executors do not mobilize for the illegalities and crimes of all Awakened people.

Appointments of executors were quite rare.

The process was too complicated, and in most cases, it was difficult to select an executor.

However, it was true that the presence of the Executor created a self-cleaning effect within the Awoken.

Before the state steps out and sends an enforcer, it is to take care of each other and check each other.

Choi Hee played a big role in this.

She had been an executor before she too became as famous as she is now.

She was originally part of a large raid that was said to be the best in Korea.

As a charge captain, she was trusted by the engineering commander, but one day, her comrades seized the weapon of the raid and ran away, and she was taken aback.

After that, as if she was covered in something, the companion appeared here and there in the dungeon, killing famous hunters and stealing her equipment.

She sent as many as three Executors from the Council of Executors to slay him, but all failed.

It was because the killer, armed with excellent items, became stronger than ever before.

The incompetence of the Executive Council was criticized, and the raids, fearing the appearance of hunter-killers, took refuge, and eventually the dungeon exploded.

Then, the executive committee pulled out the card that had been saved until the end.

That was Choi Hee.

Through her process, Choi Hee sets out to defeat her hunter-killer, and succeeds in her mission.

It was later known that she and he had a close relationship with Choi Hee.

In fact, the Executive Committee knew immediately that Choi Hee had the power to defeat him.

However, she had been hesitant to appoint her as her executor for fear that she might fail her mission because she was swayed by her affections.

In the end, with that in mind, she was able to solve the situation only after she made Choi Hee her executor and let her go.

This story is to the extent that no hunter knows about it.

Even the general public was familiar with the fact if they were even a little bit interested in Hunter.

Widely known as the 'Hunter Serial Murder Case', this incident gave Choi Hee more powerful abilities, and she made her name in the Hunter world.

She has since grown to an SS rank and she is now praised as a superstar.

Jung Daesik withdrew the thought because her thoughts had gone too far.

At that moment, an acquaintance that Ki Cheol-min was going to meet appeared.

* * *

"Hey, Ki Chul-min!"

The man who appeared as he wandered around said his name was Song Si-gun.

Shi-gun Song, who had hit Ki Chul-min on the back with a loud puck, said with a smile.

"You acted like it wasn't going to come out, but did it come out anyway? It seems like money is a pity?"

It was an unpleasant tone, but to his surprise, Ki Cheol-min smiled condescendingly.

"You know my plight. It's me, thank you for calling me from the raid."

"Yeah, well thought out. Opportunities like this are rare. Because it's me, I'm calling for you.

"I know. Thank you, hey. I'll buy you a drink after work."

When Ki Cheol-min said yes, Song Si-gun clapped his hand.

"Ugh, I'm skipping the flea liver. How can I get you to drink alcohol? Besides, my mouth is classy. I only drink liquor.

Song Si-gun was very cheeky as his name suggests.

Ki Cheol-min seemed to be okay with making noises of scratching inside all the time.

After all, like Jung Daesik, it was clear that he was a people who could leave out both the liver and the gallbladder for profit.

Ki Chul-min decided to enter the temporary crew position he had offered, and introduced Jung Daesik.

"This is Jung Daesik."

Song Si-gun took a look at Jung Daesik from head to toe.

Information about Jung Daesik ended there.

He'd probably judged him as a no-brainer when he saw his cheap tempered aluminum gear.

Jung Daesik said, "Nice to meet you," and bowed his head, but kept his chin up and pretended not to listen.

"Oh, yes. Nice to meet you."

Although his attitude was quite unpleasant, I didn't think it was wrong.

The first criterion for judging someone is their appearance.

Jung Daesik was no different in that regard.

Even if Jung Daesik was a member of a thriving raid, a low-level hunter who was likely to roam around would have seen it under his eyes.

On the other hand, there was also a subtle confidence on the other side of the mind that did not care much about Song Si-gun's attitude.

At first glance, it may not look like much, but Jung Daesik's skills are no longer inferior.

He already has three classes of abilities and can play almost any position.

He was more than 7th grade just by looking at the grade... No, it was not inferior to even a 6th grade.

He was confident enough.

Ki Cheol-min was not even asked by Jung Daesik, but he saw the ode and spoke.

"If there's still room left, why don't you take this person as well?"

"Hmm... I don't know about that."

"Isn't there a shortage of dealers anyway? Normally, dealers are overflowing, but now everyone is busy with Monster Break. They must have already wiped out all the useful ones from other raids?"

"You're going through my recommendation, right? But it's difficult because I don't know my skills."

"If it's a skill, I guarantee it. Didn't you hear about the S23 dungeon yesterday? You caught three Cerberus. Three."

Song Si-gun looked a little surprised, but he tried to erase that sign.

And he bluffed, "It's worth catching Cerberus."

However, he shrugged his shoulders and said, whether it was true that Chul-min Ki strongly recommended it and that there were not enough people.

“Let’s talk to our team leader first.”

He left for a while.

In the absence of Song Si-gun, Jung Daesik spoke to Ki Chul-min.

“I never really asked for a recommendation.”

At that, Ki Chul-min smiled.

He had a very peculiar smile.

His eyes were curved like a hahoe mask, and he looked like a villain in some way.

"It wasn't even free."

"...Well then."

"I gave you the bridge, so you have to pay a fee. How about 10% of your income?"

Jung Daesik hated it.

"It's ridiculous! What commission are you going to take 10%?"

"Uh-huh, aren't you a porter? Isn't the brokerage commission also 10%?"

"Is that and this the same?"

"Don't hate it."

Ki Chul-min was sassy.

Jung Daesik was conflicted.

Kick off Ki Chul-min's offer here and find another raid?

However, the other raids had already finished recruiting dealers and were generally starting out.

Jung Daesik, who had no ties to any raid, seemed too late to seize the opportunity.

Only small and medium-sized raids still remained, and most raids looked new, lacked numbers, or had little equipment to look at at a glance.

That's why they haven't been able to find dealers yet, and they're wandering around.

The conditions they offered for such an attack would have been poor.

Clearly, there was a high possibility that the payment could not be done properly even if it was a daily wage system or distribution was made.

At that time, Ki Chul-min twisted his lips and said sarcastically.

"By the way, the raid I'm going to is one of the top 30 raids in the country. Zodiac, have you ever heard of it?"

When it comes to the Zodiac, Jung Daesik was famous enough to know the name of the raid.

It is a large corporate-type raid with twelve teams.

He is also famous for eating dealers, but he went on a lot of hunting and achieved many achievements.

In particular, Zodiac's Chief of Engineers was one of those who obtained the most powerful weapon since the beginning of the extended reality world.

Although not currently active duty, the weapon was still in his possession.

It was also said that he was that strong.

In any case, the word zodiac made me feel bad.

Jung Daesik changed his face and spoke with a straight color.

“It’s 5%. No more.”

"...Yeah, well. Okay."

Ki Cheol-min accepted Jung Daesik's words, and after waiting for a while, Song Si-gun returned.

And he smirked at both of them.

"Come here, our team leader will see you."
