Was it because his voice was too loud?
The old man heard it and beca enraged.
W-what did he say? What about the skeletons?! Say it! You dared to make fun of my summons!
Hm.
Did it co across as too harsh? But what about it?
They might look strong to diocre players but were just cute toys to veterans.
Dont use your voice from behind the screen; co show yourself right now!
In video calls, only your direct conversation partner could see your face, while unrelated parties could only hear the voice. Of course, this could be changed if both parties agreed to it.
Are you fine with it?
Teresa asked him.
It is fine. It looks like I contacted you at a troubleso mont, but this looks interesting.
Jin-hyuk nodded his head.
[The video call has been converted to an open call.]
With that short system ssage, a man with a strange mask appeared.
And silence took over the hall that had been filled with a raucous commotion.
T-that mask!
Ruins! The one who attacked the ruins is you!
Oh my. I didnt think anyone had your contact! But Teresa knew you?
It was natural for them to be unable to control their excitent. A player who hid his identity behind a mask. So many people had been looking for him, but none had found a clue.
Everyone wanted to catch the promising player before others got to them. This was a common thought shared by those here.
Teresa was working with him, so there is a high chance that the person doesnt belong to a guild yet.
Then it ans that the person who gets him first is the winner.
Coin, items, or money can be poured out to get him.
Of course, bringing him is enough to change the face of the guild completely.
Maybe this is the last chance I can get.
The representatives of each guild gulped as they looked at each other. They looked like they were just waiting for the right ti to pounce.
At that mont.
How amusing.
The old man stepped forward.
Right. I heard about it too. I wonder if you are the one who played an active part in the ruins on the 1st floor. But this boss we are attacking is different.
In the ruins, the power of each individual monster could be strong, but their numbers werent many.
On the other hand, the 3rd-floor boss had monstrous strength along with subordinate monsters serving under it.
This ant that there was a fundantal difference between this task and conquering a ruin.
Hmm? Then are you saying you can? No matter how many enemies there are?
Jin-hyuk asked while touching his stomach.
Right. Having a large number of summoned beasts is my specialty
A large number of summons
Summoned beasts here ant the skeleton, right?
He admitted that there were quite a few here.
But
It must be difficult with that fake staff, though.
W-what?
Its only half done, right? I see that the Adult Heart and the Shroud Soaked in Oil were omitted.
T-t-thathow do you know?
How do you think?
That is because it looks different from the real Staff of Greed. The finished product with all the right ingredients would have a red gem studded under the skull on the right. Above all, the quality of skeleton soldiers is too low.
The finished item youve seen it?
The old man mumbled in shock. The shock must be too much. Even his beard was shaking.
Curious? If you want, I can tell you where to find the rest of the ingredients,
Really? Where ahem!
The old man almost completely gave in to his desires but managed to hold himself back.
Because even a single word said here would be acknowledging his defeat.
Jin-hyuk, who saw that, smiled bitterly as if he knew this would happen.
After all, the opponent was an empty shell with no power.
At least he was using his head and tried to take a share from the guilds by fooling them with words of plausibility.
Just looking at his half-completed staff, his intentions here were evident. There was just a shallow intention of stealing items or coins under the guise of a down paynt.
As things were becoming slightly strange, the old man grit his teeth.
Fine. For now, I will leave you. No matter who you are, I will surely repay you for this sha.
Wow old man. It is the first ti I have actually seen soone like you.
what?
No. Arent you a bit embarrassed when saying that? I will surely repay you for this sha if such a line was written for an ani from the 90s, the broadcaster would co to beat you.
If he had just vanished, Jin-hyuk wouldnt have cared. But, the problem with this guy was his mouth.
You!
The old man glared at Jin-hyuk as if he wanted to kill him, but it was only for a mont.
Phat!
The shadows rose up.
The next ti we et in person, we will see if you can be as relaxed as you are now and those here, be mindful of this. The fact that we are the only force with strength.
The figure of the old man was then swallowed up by the darkness.
The hall fell silent once more.
So much had happened in such a short span of ti that everyone there needed a mont to process it.
It doesnt matter if you leave the task to fail in the hands of such a clumsy person, but personally, I dont think that is a good option.
Jin-hyuk shrugged his shoulders at Patrick.
I know. But we had no options.
Why was there no other option?
Jin-hyuk said again,
Leave it to . I will take care of the job without having to work together with the demonic humans to attack the tower.
Y-You dont an it.
Patrick was shocked.
Was it possible to attack the tower alone?
If it wasnt said by the player who solo-conquered the ruins, these words would have been considered a bad joke.
Jin-hyuk nodded his head without hesitation.
It is possible.
Because this was why he had gone to the underground floor.
T-then how do we pay you for it
You dont have to give anything.
Uh?
Let go in alone. If you lock the entire area down so no other players can co, I dont care about being paid.
At Jin-hyuks words, Patricks mouth dropped.
It was from shock at how lenient the terms were.
Why are you even doing this?
That is.
Jin-hyuk glanced at Teresa.
I just want to do the right thing for the sake of humanity and my colleagues.
As soon as he said those words, Jin-hyuk had to pinch his thigh.
Ah, damn it.
Just saying that makes my legs go weak.
That old man from a mont ago must have felt like this.
However, unlike Jin-hyuk, who didnt like his own words, the other representatives looked at him kindly.
Teresa bit her lip.
Her lips kept twitching.
Haha. This is as the representative of the guild, I have nothing to say.
So cool.
You are a true hero. We also need to reflect on ourselves.
Ha. I started with that mindset. I dont know how we ended up like this.
Admiration and resilience.
The representatives of the large global guilds were now reflecting on their own selves. Just one word and they were misunderstanding everything by themselves.
It is fine if I act like this.
His reason for not accepting a down paynt wasnt for the sake of humanity. It wasnt even for the aim of taking care of the guilds.
Jin-hyuk glanced at the cara.
[Currently, all screens and conversations are being recorded.]
A player who gave up all rewards for the sake of mankind, how much could they benefit from such a phrase?
He didnt know for sure, but itll likely be several tis more than what the guilds would have offered as a reward.
You idiots that will be the down paynt!
I am not the kind of person who misses the big things to go after little things.
Think about it.
How much would these guilds even be able to give him a down paynt at this early stage of the ga?
Maybe one low-level relic?
Or coins?
If I have ti, I can get those things by myself.
However, a solid position in the publics eyes with all the benefits derived from it was a sure gain.
Furthermore.
First broadcast function. If soone succeeds in the solo raid that failed for the others!
Just the thought was thrilling.
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
Jin-hyuks heart started beating with a pleasant rhythm as if it was celebrating knowing the lottery numbers for the next week in advance.
And. If I succeed this ti, I would like to see you all and have a al together.
O-of course.
We are looking forward to it.
I wish that day would co.
Everyone added their own words with hope on their faces. They looked genuinely happy.
But no matter how happy.
only I can do it?
Jin-hyuk gulped and wiped his mouth.
Is this what it felt like to see a young chicken tap its feet in front of a pot of boiling water and ginseng?
Wow! Imagine what I could get with just copies from the abilities of two or three more rankers.
This was aweso.
[The video call has ended]
When Jin-hyuk disappeared, everyones eyes turned to Teresa.
Like wolves aiming for the sheep.
Miss Teresa, could you tell about the man you spoke to?
Na, age, nation. It doesnt matter if it is a little thing.
Huhu, didnt the European side get gains this ti? This ti make concessions to us.
Should I say that A rank dungeon will be passed over to you if you step back this one ti?
W-what are you saying?
Oh my. Why are you angry? Ah well. The person who loses always raises their voice.
Wow.
Another heated discussion. In the middle of it, Teresa bit her lip.
Mr. Jin-hyuk you idiot.
She didnt even know what to do now.
Things turned out a lot better.
Jin-hyuk stretched out his hands.
Thanks to the demonic humans help, he gained a reputation in front of the large guilds.
By now, they must be fighting with each other to get more information about him.
Hmm. I feel a bit bad for letting Miss Teresa take care of it, but
I will buy her a al to make up for it.
It was then
Haa. Haa. Haa. Are you going to kill ?
Elise turned towards him with a gasping face.
Ah, right.
She was forgotten.
During the video call with Teresa, bugs were still climbing up, so he made her deal with them.
As a result, she had used up all her remaining magic and was on the verge of fainting.
It is fine to see you complain about sothing else for a change. If you were really going to die, you wouldnt have the energy to complain, but this is fine seeing you all fine.
D-di you that would comfort ?! This this is a slavery contract!
Elise looked helpless.
What?
But to feel remorse, one had to have a conscience.
Tch! What do you see as? Do you think I am ssing around? Anyway, I was thinking of buying a Magic Supplent from the coin exchange and giving it to you.
Although it was the cheapest one, it didnt matter since Elise couldnt see the coin exchange. What would she even be able to do if he insisted it was the most expensive one?
But
Sorry, but such supplents dont work for .
Elise shook her head.
What?
Didnt I say that you cannot dosticate ?
W-what is that
Huhu. Dont worry. I will take back the mana Ive used up.
Elise smiled brightly, and her teeth shone.
Why does this sight feel ominous?
It definitely felt wrong
When he had t the first ti, she had said
Tasty and your blood slls delicious, right? She said those two things.
Man. This was dangerous.
Jin-hyuk took a few steps back without even realizing it.
