Chapter 48: (2): Season 1: Preparation
- Inha Guild. 16 days of battle. Miraculous survival!
- Yeon-su, who revealed his appearance to the Platinum Slayer after transferring the rewards!
- The Slayer who defeated the top-tier Slayer, Ha Jong-won. Is his true identity Kim Yeon-su?
Inha Guild cleared a new type of dungeon. They thought it was just a training dungeon, but it turned out to be different. After the training, a boss monster appeared. It was clearly a different type of dungeon from before.
Interestingly, there were speculations that the Slayer who defeated Ha Jong-won in a perfect game of PvP might be Kim Yeon-su. It was because that Slayer was included in Inha Guild for this dungeon clear. The female Slayers, including Hong Se-young, didn’t seem like they could defeat Ha Jong-won. So, the only ones left were Hyun-seok and Yeon-su.
In that case, it seemed that people were speculating with great emphasis on the famous Yeon-su. Hyun-seok was seen as a lucky person, the guild leader of Inha Guild who had famous Slayers like Jong-won as his friends, or as someone who had far more people who didn’t know him than those who did. On the other hand, Yeon-su was already a famous Slayer, which made a difference.
Of course, those who were top-tier Slayers or high-ranking government officials knew Hyun-seok’s true identity, but the general public didn’t.
- 100 Yellow Stones!
- Acquired 100 Yellow Stones! Valued at 200 million won each!
They earned 20 billion won in one dungeon clear. Although more than 80 percent of it ended up being owned by Hyun-seok due to the party system applied in the dungeon, he had long since become indifferent to materialistic things.
“I don’t know about elsewhere, but let’s divide it 1/N in our guild. At least for the time being.”
However, Yeon-su opposed. Yeon-su decided to stay in Inha Guild through this temporary cooperation. Hyun-seok, who needed a defensive Slayer anyway, clearly saw Yeon-su’s skills this time. If he hadn’t been there, there might have been casualties. He had enough skills to join Inha Guild. Although he had great skills, he was stubborn in such matters.
“No, that’s absolutely not acceptable.”
Yeon-su strongly insisted that most of the rewards should go to Hyun-seok, and he would be grateful even if he only received the achievement rewards instead of the Yellow Stones.
But Pyeong-hwa opposed as well.
“Oppa has suffered the most, so I can’t agree either.”
If Pyeong-hwa felt a little resentful towards Hyun-seok, it was understandable. However, she fully understood Hyun-seok’s situation and knew that she was not as important to him as Min-seo. So she didn’t show any signs of resentment. In desperate moments, not being chosen meant disappointment and sadness, but she was determined to work harder and appreciate what she had.
Hyun-seok spoke up.
“I don’t know how it sounds, but I can easily earn money in the range of billions. It won’t make much of an impact. I have the Monster Detector, and if I just go solo slaying, this money won’t make a significant difference.”
Everyone agreed with his words. It wasn’t bragging. It wasn’t showing off. It was no different from saying, “Yesterday’s menu was kimchi stew.” Hyun-seok indeed had the ability to back it up. After all, even when 300 billion won was offered in the United States, he didn’t budge. It meant that 300 billion was an unrealistic amount to mention when it came to Hyun-seok.
“But even though money doesn’t have a big impact on me, it can have a significant impact on the people around me. This time, Kim Yeon-su kept Pyeong-hwa safe. I’m deeply grateful for that.”
Hyun-seok continued.
“Unless there’s anything special, I’ll continue with the 1/N distribution. It can be considered Inha Guild’s policy. I believe that if you all do well, I will do well too.”
However, Kim Yeon-su’s resistance was fierce. He seemed quite stubborn in such matters. They engaged in a back-and-forth struggle of giving more and not accepting, a friendly dispute—more like a heartwarming compromise of trying to concede rewards to each other—until a decision was made.
“It has been decided to use the difference between the distribution based on contribution and the 1/N distribution as the guild’s funds. However, while it takes the form of a common fund, each person can use their share personally unless there is a special reason. Is there anyone with objections?”
Everyone agreed with Hyun-seok. With the 1/N distribution and the distribution based on contribution, it was natural that the rewards would differ. Currently, Hyun-seok’s power held a significant portion within the guild.
So, they would first distribute the rewards based on the differential distribution, and the remaining amount would be turned into the guild’s common fund for management. If someone needed money, they could freely use their share. As for the common fund, it could only be used with the agreement of the guild members, and Se-young and Pyeong-hwa would manage it together.
As the policy was decided, they received a contact from Korea Union Chief Sung-hyung.
“Hyun-seok. I found what you asked for a while ago. Wow, there’s not much quantity.”
“Oh, really? Is it from that auction you mentioned before?”
“Yes. I made sure it would take place in Korea this time by putting in some effort.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. Just by staying in Korea, you’ve already made a significant contribution to me, or rather to Union. Consider this a minimum show of sincerity.”
Several formalities had passed between them. There was a separate request that Hyun-seok had made to Sung-hyung before. It was an almost impossible task to accomplish alone.
‘Superior martial arts. Finally, the quantity has been resolved.’
Hyun-seok’s face brightened.
