Jung Daesik opened his mouth wide at the unexpected story.

Seeing his reaction like that, Jeongyeon Lee laughed as if it was funny.

“Most monsters are poisonous, so they are not suitable for consumption. But as you know, there are many types of monsters. Some are suitable for eating. Some are very beneficial to health. In the case of the United States, research in this area is already quite advanced.”

"Anyway... How do you eat monsters?"

"Oh, you don't know. There's no such thing as dragon meat, so it's almost impossible to sell."

Among hunters, he knew that dragon meat had greater value than diamonds.

But when he was a porter, he thought of it as stamina and food.

It is human psychology to eat anything that is good for the body.

But Jung Daesik was reluctant to eat monster meat. It wasn't just because of the myth that the hunters who were isolated in the dungeon and ran out of food became monsters by eating monster meat. In fact, among the porters, they heard strange rumors and ate monster meat and died or fell ill.

"Most of all, there is no need to raise monsters on Earth. If you can secure a safe dungeon, you can raise it there. Farming the dungeon. Of course, there will be periodic boss mobs and attack problems, but at least it can be used as a garbage dump. In fact, it is said that imported waste is publicly thrown away from India and Iran. Japan and Russia are also contemplating dumping nuclear waste, which was a troublesome mass, into dungeons."

"No, do you mean that you know how monsters will react to radiation and do such dangerous things? It's a well-known fact that monsters are stronger against radiation than humans. ....."

"It's just that there is such a discussion. What I want to say is... You hunters think of monsters as enemies to be killed, and I don't know what kind of devil's den you think of dungeons, but the view from the outside is different. Sooner or later, dungeons It could be a silver gold mine. If you want to make money, it's good to be aware of this trend."

Should I say that I am adaptable quickly or that I have no fear?

Jung Daesik thought that humans were confused as to whether they were wise or stupid.

It wasn't long before the first Monster Break happened.

It's only been 10 years since the world of extended reality began.

But the world was changing rapidly, and the pace seemed to be accelerating.

'Definitely different from the first monster break, the second monster break we had last time didn't have much of a shock. People have already gotten used to monsters. It's come to the point that I think of it as a way to make money.'

Aside from the strange feeling of not knowing what it was, I felt like I was making money.

If a monster-related business takes place, of course, the person who has information about the monster will be able to take the lead.

It must have been for the same reason that other countries, including Korea, began to raise their enthusiasm for monster research.

Jung Daesik thought as he recalled his ingenious abilities.

He said, 'If you continue to upgrade your observation skills, you will be able to obtain a lot of information without having to research and catch monsters. It's not just observation. If you acquire more efficient skills through the shop upgrade, you will be able to identify monsters faster than anyone else and use that information.'

Jung Daesik asked his mouth, thinking that he should study this part if he had a chance.

The time had come for the vehicles in front of him to pass through the dungeon and the Jeep Jung Daesik was riding through.

After a terrifying feeling as if all sensations had disappeared at once, the next moment Jung Daesik was out of the dungeon.

And he was surprised.'no?'

The entrance to the dungeon was about to burst with people.

Most of the dogs were reporters who came out to cover the story.

A photo line was installed at the entrance of the dungeon, and there were a lot of reporters standing outside with cameras.

The flash went off non-stop, almost blinding my eyes.

'What kind of mess is this?'

I heard that Na Dong-il was attracting public attention, but I didn't know it was this much.

No, even for that reason, it's a bit strange.

Dongil Na and Choi Sun, the protagonists of this disappearance case, had been taken out of the dungeon before.

They must have been rushed to the hospital, so reporters had to follow them.

But I still couldn't figure out why they were encamped here.

Seeing the bewildered Jung Daesik, Jeongyeon Lee whistled and blew.

"You're very passionate about coverage? Jung Daesik, I'm going to have to work hard today."

"Yes? Why me?"

To Jung Daesik, who was puzzled, Jeongyeon Lee said as if she was asking because she really didn't know.

"These people all came to see Jung Daesik, right?"

"Me?"

"If not, why are you doing this all the time?"

As it turned out, all the attention of the reporters was focused on this side.

Jung Daesik suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

It was the first time in my life that I had received the attention of so many people.

Despite closing his window, he was nervous and his head was dazed, and his expression hardened.

The vehicle of the Titan Raid was barely able to get out of the road due to the crowds surrounding the entrance to the dungeon.

After the jeep stood in place for a while, the photo line crumbled down.

As the police officers controlling the reporters were at a loss as to what to do, the reporters clinged to Jung Daesik's car like ants.

" Jung Daesik! Lower the window, please!"

"Show me your face, Jung Daesik!"

"Just one word please!"

"Wait a minute, answer the interview!"

All the cars were shaken at the request of reporters.

The other crew members who didn't see them got out of the car and tried to push the reporters away, but they were as strong as if they had boiled some wild ginseng.

"Mr. Jung Daesik!"

It hurt my ears at the sound of their calls, and above all else, it seemed like I couldn't stand still because the surroundings were completely in chaos.

Jung Daesik hardened his heart and opened his car door.

And he got out of the car.

"......"

I don't know why, but the moment he got out of the car, there was a moment of silence.

Whether it was really that Jung Daesik was not expected to appear, the reporters were silent at the same time.

But for a while, the flashes went off without a break, and reporters burst into microphones, cell phones and recorders, and started yelling at each other.

" Jung Daesik! How did you find the missing people?"

"You said you dealt with the monsters that swallowed the missing, is that true?"

“Are there any chances of going all-in-one as a triplex?”

“You were a porter not long ago, but how did you suddenly become strong?”

I got out of the car and stood in front of the reporters, but I didn't know what to say.

It was my first time to appear in front of the press, and I was not very talkative, so it was really difficult.

But then, suddenly, the reporters split on both sides like the miracle of Moses.

When I looked up for some reason, to my surprise, Choi Hee was walking between them.

She stood next to the astonished Jung Daesik.

And she looked around her troupe once with a dignified look.

Truly, he had overwhelming charisma.

All the reporters shut their mouths at once in Choi Hee's gaze.

They had been running wildly, but they became as meek as sheep.

Choi Hee, who took her initiative in an instant, finally smiled when the reporters became quiet.

She was the million-dollar smile of Hee-hee Choi that she had often seen on TV.

That smile brought a smile to the reporters' lips, and Choi Hee spoke calmly.

"Thank you for your great interest and encouragement in this disappearance even amidst the hustle and bustle of construction. Thanks to the many people who have given hope, my sister Choi Choi and Na Dong-il, who is contributing to the hunter society, can be safely rescued. there was."

Choi Hee bowed her head, and Jung Daesik did something to sit still, so she slightly lowered her head.

Then she lifted her head up and she said as Choi Hee blinked at her Jung Daesik standing next to her.

"Mr. Jung Daesik here played a huge role in the rescue operation. It has been an indescribable grace. Thank you."

Choi Hee took a step back and she bowed her head politely to Jung Daesik.

Jung Daesik also hurriedly responded, and Choi Hee stayed there for a while as if waiting for reporters to take a picture.

Soon she lifted her head again and spoke her as she looked around the reporters.

" Jung Daesik did his best to defeat the mighty monsters and rescue the missing people. He's just returned to Earth from a hellish place after accomplishing something that no one else could have done. You should get plenty of rest. The rest of the story can be heard at a later press conference at the Titan Raid Headquarters."

The reporters did not respond much when they told me to go and ask questions at that time and let them go quietly today.

Choi Hee naturally turned her body and opened her car door.

Jung Daesik was drawn to her action and got into the road car.

Then she closed the car door after Choi Hee got on.

As soon as the traffic was cleared in front of the car, the cars started moving.

As the car drove off the road, Jeongyeon Lee saw Choi Hee and said with admiration.

"After all, you are amazing! Indeed, you are a superstar."

Jeongyeon Lee met Choi Hee up close and was a little excited.

Choi Hee gave her a light glance.

But for some reason, her face was very pale.

Sweat was dripping from his forehead, Jung Daesik asked curiously.

"Where do you like it? The complexion..."
