But contrary to my expectations, Han Jae-young, who had been concentrating on gathering information for a while, quickly regained his senses.
“Let’s do that.”
He even nodded his head very cheerfully.
No, this is how you’re accepting it?
When I stared at Han Jae-young, who was so dumbfounded, Han Jae-young shrugged his shoulders.
“After hearing it roughly... ... If I’m going to survive anyway, I’ll have to fight that ‘enemy of humanity’, so it’d be the icing on the cake if I could get support from the system.”
It was Han Jae-young’s typical rational behavior, but... ... .
I still didn’t like it.
Of course, I thought that a fairy half-blood like Han Jae-young would eventually accept the quest, but he was so easily convinced.
“What’s with that unnecessarily positive response? Aren’t you angry?”
“Huh? Who on earth are you talking about?”
“Well... ... .”
Of course, I was going to say it was the system, but I kept my mouth shut.
Well, the system is actually more of a swarm intelligence than a self, so getting angry was useless.
Even if you know it in your head, it’s just because you’re angry.
Han Jae-young even went a step further.
“Didn’t Da-on accept the quest for this reason?”
No way.
I didn’t have the right to choose, and I was forced to participate!
... ... But saying that out loud would be like spitting in my own face.
Isn’t it obvious that I dragged Han Jae-young in because I didn’t want to do it?
Of course, looking at the current situation, it seems like I dug my own grave.
“... ... Okay.”
I sighed deeply.
I was just trying to see Han Jae-young panic with the water ghost operation... ... .
My prediction was completely wrong.
And it seems like the system’s evaluation passed without a hitch.
As evidence, this system ssage appeared.
- The opponent accepted the quest invitation.
- The user, ‘Han Jae-young (Special)’, is registered as a party mber for the ‘SAVE THE WORLD’ quest.
- The current number of party mbers is 3/3.
Now, I’m even considered a party... ... .
I... ... am one of the party mbers of the quest to save the world... ... .
“Bam!”
- Master! The building is collapsing?!
No... ... no... ... .
I was so surprised that I feebly patted Leo’s back, whose tail was swollen.
I just can’t believe this reality.
I... ... was a demon king in my previous life, but now I’m a party mber of the party to save the world... ... .
How did I end up like this?
“Oh, that’s strange. By the way, 3/3... ... is that telling the status of survivors?”
Han Jae-young seed to be watching with interest, as if he was seeing the sa ssage.
Looking at that little rascal, I felt a little regretful for recomnding this quest to Han Jae-young, but I soon gathered my courage.
‘I had to involve Han Jae-young anyway.’
Considering that the system requires ‘emotions,’ I couldn’t involve a dog or a cow, so I thought Han Jae-young would be a good fit.
Besides, I’m currently serving my mandatory military service, so I need permission from the head of the organization, Han Jae-young, to search for fragnts.
Up until now, I’ve used weekends or used vacation days to fill in the gaps... ...but I can’t continue to use these stopgap asures.
However, if I involve Han Jae-young like this, I won’t have to use weekends like I used to.
Can’t I use Orbis’ fragnt search during work hours?
‘Yeah, it’s beneficial for too.’
I decided to console myself like that, since I couldn’t stand seeing Han Jae-young dislike it.
... ... Still annoyed though.
“Then, should I go find the remains of the enemy of humanity? The system seems to indicate the location.”
Yoo Han-ul answered calmly.
“The current location according to the system is China. It’s in the Suzhou area of Jiangsu Province.”
Han Jae-young frowned.
“China...? And there’s no direct flight to the Suzhou area. It’s hard to get a visa... ... Suzhou is one of the places where the central ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) governnt has lost control.”
That was exactly right.
In the case of China, it was originally a country that the central governnt strongly controlled... ... but after the dungeons appeared, things changed a little.
The powerful people who appeared in each region began to exert their influence.
Since the land area is so large, there were so many dungeon breaks that each region had no choice but to deal with them on their own.
I heard that there are many places where the powerful people in each region act like de facto lords, just like in the old days.
At first glance, they seem to listen to the central governnt, but because of their distance, the political battles are quite intense.
Except for Beijing, a traditional political region, and Shanghai, a comrcial region that actively attracts foreign investnt, most of them are influenced by the guilds that belong to the strongest hunters in each region.
“So, to enter China, I need Hunter Han Jae-young’s help. I think I need to persuade our governnt... ... .”
“You want to persuade them? That’s impossible. How are you going to persuade the Korean governnt? They would never give a visa, except for the United States.”
“That’s the problem.”
The Korean governnt was already reluctant to allow S-class hunters to go abroad.
According to the World Hunter Association Agreent, hunters must serve in their country of birth, but they can also change their nationality when the period is over.
In addition, in East Asia, China is the one that tries the hardest to recruit foreign hunters who have completed their mandatory service.
The Chinese governnt wanted to seize control over each region, so they wanted to recruit strong hunters, and other regions were no exception.
As a result, it seems that even the hunters closest to Korea naturally received offers with considerable compensation.
The Korean governnt, which had already experienced a talent drain once, could not help but be sensitive to this.
‘They don’t want to lose their talents even though the Korean governnt is not doing anything for them.’
Even in the case of Yoo Han-ul, if he were to move to another country, there was no way to stop him in Korea.
Han Jae-young shook his head with a frown.
“Besides, it’s not just a governnt permit problem... ... I want to stop you from hastily going to China right now. There are more than a few hunters who have lost contact with China after receiving money.”
It wasn’t particularly surprising.
When they first t, Yoo Han-ul had also said this when explaining his mandatory service.
- Actually, about 4 years ago, about a dozen hunters who went to China for ransom lost contact.
‘In particular, there is almost no information in Korea about how the Chinese hunter community actually works.’
Since the land area is so large, few people knew much about the Chinese hunter community, except for the capital, Beijing, and the comrcial city, Shanghai.
Because of China’s unique guanxi culture, it is not easy for foreigners to grasp the whole picture.
Isn’t that all? The culture of prioritizing one’s own country has beco even more solid since dungeons appeared.
There are even rumors that the World Hunters Association is not exerting its influence properly, and there are even areas that have blocked foreigners from entering.
“Since the quest has co out, I should go, but it is not an easy place to go without any information. At least take so ti to gather information and then... ... .”
“No, it is better to act as quickly as possible.”
I shook my head at Han Jae-young’s words.
“Just recently, Yuhan-ul dealt with one of those fragnts.”
Dividing the soul into six.
It’s easier said than done, but honestly, it’s not sothing to do.
Because if the divided clone is hit by an external attack and disappears, the main body will also be affected.
No matter how divided the soul is, the fundantals are the sa.
Just as Leo, Robo, and Rai can be summoned even if they are in different dinsions, the fundantal connection is not broken.
And in the case of Theo Jovanovic this ti, it didn’t seem like a very important clone... ... .
Even so, the main body must have been affected the mont this fragnt disappeared.
“If you’re going to hit the opponent, now is the ti.”
If the fragnt of Orbis is currently in Soju, there must be a reason.
In Theo Jovanovic’s case, he inherited Theodora’s legacy and acquired considerable capital, connections, and fa in Europe.
Because that helps Orbis himself.
That is, the reason he sent one of his clones to that area was because he had sothing to gain from China.
And I had a rough idea... ... .
“Even if you say that... ... Even if I have a good relationship with the Korean governnt, immigration permits are a separate issue... ... .”
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
I slowly opened my mouth to Han Jae-young, who was showing his reluctance, and Yoo Han-ul, who was keeping his mouth shut.
“So... ... I thought of a thod.”
“Oh, let hear it.”
“First. Forge a passport and enter the country illegally.”
“Oh... ... ”
Yoo Han-ul stared at .
In fact, I had already told Yoo Han-ul this thod.
“Why are you looking at like that? I told you this is the easiest way.”
- The ‘Good deeds bring blessings¿’ quest is in progress.
I scoffed at the system ssage.
“It’s illegal, so it’s a problem? But if you think about it, this is ultimately for the good of humanity, so shouldn’t it be praised?”
-!
The system ssage blinked several tis.
In fact, I’ve gotten away with the ‘Do good deeds and you’ll be blessed’ quest for my own self-preservation, but this isn’t exactly cheating the system.
Even if it’s a law, it’s a law made by each country’s governnt for their own benefit, so following it isn’t necessarily ‘good.’
It’s worth considering which side conflicts with the system’s ultimate goal of ‘humanity’s survival.’
‘Besides, it’s not hard to forge a passport, and illegal immigration is a piece of cake if you put your mind to it.’
He was quite the expert in such illegal activities.
- The system is troubled.
Han Jae-young shrugged, not knowing that I had told the system.
“I don’t know if it’s praise... ... but if you just consider the possibility, it’s not impossible. The only remaining problem is that the governnt is tracking the whereabouts of S-class hunters, but there is a way to avoid that.”
“Han Jae-young Hunter... ... I ca here to ask you to stop Da-on, but what if you go along with that?”
“Hey, it’s true that it’s an easy way. The immigration officers have been trying to block hunters from illegally entering the country recently... ... but if Daon decides to lie, there’s no way to stop it. How are we going to stop it?”
That’s what I’m saying.
In the first place, since the mont you awaken as a person with special abilities, you gain the right to use your inventory, border control is basically half-opened.
The only better way is to leave the immigration control at the airport to soone with the sa special abilities...
Even so, it’s unlikely that a high-ranking hunter would take on such a low-level job, so it’s easy for hunters above a certain level to illegally enter the country if they want to.
When I asked Jas Chen about ways to illegally enter China right away, he ca up with a series of ideas.
“... ... But I want to choose a thod that doesn’t commit any illegal acts as much as possible.”
Yoo Han-ul said stiffly.
That’s why I didn’t want to move with this kid.
But he’s a mber of the sa party!
‘If that kid hadn’t tackled , I would already be in Soju.’
“Bam!”
Leo let out a slightly aggressive cry, as if he was reflecting my mood.
Of course, that wasn’t enough to threaten the warrior.
“We don’t know what will happen in China, but it’s hard to deal with it while illegally entering the country. Thinking back to New York last ti, that’s the case.”
Han Jae-young seed to be listening to Yoo Han-ul’s words.
“Hmm... ... If it was definitely illegal entry and not a dinsional disaster, it would have been hard to get Estella’s cooperation.”
“That’s right. Given the nature of the quest, you’ll inevitably have to fight soone, and it’s fine if it’s not in a dungeon, but if there’s damage to property or civilians... ... .”
I don’t know why he’s looking at while saying that.
“As a criminal who entered the country illegally, you won’t have a chance to defend yourself.”
I didn’t like it very much, but Yoo Han-ul’s story had so rit.
In any case, if you go to another country without any information, it’s better to secure at least so legitimacy.
‘Yes, I expected this.’
In fact, before coming here, I had already discussed with Yoo Han-ul once after seeing that the location of the fragnt was in China.
That’s why Yoo Han-ul asked Han Jae-young to ask for a favor and co here again.
I agreed for now.
The system is basically likely to take Yoo Han-ul’s side, so I can’t just win.
I needed a third party who could confirm that Yoo Han-ul’s proposed plan was unrealistic.
And it worked out just as I thought.
“Okay, then... ... Yoo Han-ul, it’s impossible to persuade the Korean governnt by involving Han Jae-young and officially visit China as you said. Do you admit it?”
“... ... I admit it.”
“And there’s also a risk to forging an ID and entering the country illegally. If that’s the case, then there’s only one way to go to China.”
Han Jae-young tilted his head.
“What is that thod?”
“It’s receiving support from the system.”
-?
I was forced to accept ridiculous quests, so I have to take everything I have to take.
I demanded confidently.
“System, open the dungeon leading to China.”
This is all good deeds for humanity.
Perhaps.
