Level up With Your Character - Chapter 168
Only Ranovel
Chapter 168
Chapter 18 Sweeping (1)
Rich people often talk.
If you focus on what you love, work hard, and become the best, money will naturally follow.
So don’t chase the money, let the money follow.
To be honest, I didn’t understand that until recently.
When I stood as a dungeon guard, I was paid according to the time I worked, and even after becoming a hunter, I made profits according to the amount of item sales.
Occasionally, at the request of the Hunter Office, he cleared the dungeon and received a raid fee, but that was a fair price for his efforts.
I made a lot of money, but it didn’t feel like the rich people talk about money following me. It felt like a reward for the work I did myself.
however.
Now that I have overcome the Divine Shield and Luminas and have even defeated the Demon God’s Thought Body.
I couldn’t help but feel it.
$50 billion. 65 trillion won in Korean currency.
This is because he received money equivalent to 10% of Korea’s annual budget as a reward for clearing an EX-class dungeon.
65 trillion won.
In case of a successful EX-level dungeon raid, it was decided to receive a total of 5 trillion won in compensation, which was 13 times higher than before.
In fact, I couldn’t believe it when I heard about it from the King of Saudi Arabia in the royal palace conference room.
This is because I wondered if the amount of 65 trillion won was too excessive, no matter how much I was the main figure in resolving this situation.
In fact, there has never been a single person in human history who has received that amount of money for a single remuneration.
To be honest, when I heard the amount of compensation, I was happy, but I felt burdened.
But the King of Saudi Arabia.
“It’s okay if you don’t feel pressured, Hunter Han Sang-woo. We rather think that this is not enough. If Hunter Han Sang-woo and the guild members of the Lord’s Guild hadn’t been there, Saudi Arabia would have fallen to Ruminas.”
Rather, he said that this was not enough, and he reassured me that I did not have to be burdened.
Actually, you don’t have to worry about it.
Middle Eastern oil tycoons have so much wealth that they have to be counted out when lining up the world’s richest people. And although 65 trillion won is a large amount of money, it is not so large that it is excessive compared to the total operating amount of hundreds of EX-level raid parties.
but.
The truth is that this amount was not only given to me, but also to Dark Darkness, Magic King, and Yeonjin.
In the world, they are known as hunters belonging to the lord’s guild, not summons, so they received 325 trillion won instead of 65 trillion won, including the characters’ remuneration.
It was not immediately paid in cash, but it was paid in the form of a bill that could be immediately converted into cash along with various goods, stocks and bonds, but I did not need that much cash right away.
Is this what money follows?
No matter how much I thought I was following too much, I also learned that I have to work as much as I received.
<[Emergency] World Hunter Union, EX-level dungeon cleared successfully!>
<[Breaking News] Riyadh, the Saudi capital, is invaded by Ruminas. Emergency evacuation of the King of Saudi Arabia <[Shock] The head of the Divine Shield and the head of Ruminas are revealed to be the same person... . Investigating details>
Since the issue of this case is so big and important, I needed a general manager to take responsibility and organize it, and I was selected as the right person.
Surely I was the only one who could sort it out.
Excellent hunters from all over the world gathered, but most of them were Divine Shield Hunters, and they had a history of being manipulated by Selina, so they couldn’t entrust their work.
Although the Union Hunters have been restored by Sei, it is still difficult to act immediately due to the distrust and aftereffects of the Divine Shield Hunters.
So, even after the EX-class raid was over, I stayed in Saudi Arabia for a while to take care of incidental tasks.
Becoming a monster, he was in charge of the overall progress of the tasks necessary for the current situation, such as tracking down and killing the Luminous Hunters hidden throughout Riyadh, and investigating the Divine Shield Hunters who had come to their senses.
Of course, these things were unfamiliar to me because they were things I hadn’t done before, but they weren’t too difficult.
It was enough to leave the investigation of Divine Shield and Luminous to Li Xiaopeng, and ask Shin Dae-hun and the rest of the entourage to distribute them to the media.
After entrusting Li Xiaopeng and Shin Daehoon with some tasks, I focused on other things.
There was a lot to do.
First of all.
“Guys, aren’t you tired of being out there?”
“yes. It’s all right, lord.”
“This is enough, Master.”
“Rod, you don’t have to worry about me.”
“I’m having fun, boss! People are just asking to take pictures!”
“I’m fine too, warrior. It’s a new experience, so it’s fresh.”
[Loyalty Achievement 6]
[Achieving 1,000 hours of character summoning time – 3%]
It was the performance of the newly opened [Loyalty Achievement 6].
Unlike previous achievements where characters had to be summoned at the same time, this time it was only necessary to achieve a total of 1,000 hours of character summoning.
Even if you cancel the summoning in the middle, the time is cumulative, but I summoned all the characters except Jegi.
It was not necessary to maintain simultaneous summons, but filling the maximum number of summoned characters was advantageous for the quest, and to avoid suspicion from others, the characters who were active in this case had to continue to appear like normal hunters.
I used the break between breaks to digest various schedules with the characters.
And the second one.
“Then, from now on, we will start an auction of items dropped in EX-level dungeons.”
It was an item auction from the Demon Legion dungeon.
After retrieving only steel, I cleaned up the scene and entered the EX-level dungeon again with the porters in consultation with the Saudi Hunter Agency.
The dungeon of the Demon Legion was a one-time dungeon, so it would disappear if no one was left inside the dungeon.
Fortunately, there were Union Hunters who took shelter from the Divine Shield and Ruminas raid, so the dungeon did not disappear and the items remained.
I escaped by collecting hundreds of items with the hunters and porters.
Hundreds of items.
The grades ranged from Advanced to Mythic, but there was only one Mythic item among them.
[Long Sword of the Demon Legion Commander]
[Rating: Myth]
[Effect: ATK +560]
[Skill: Lv 3. Earth Split – Discharges an enormous aura that splits the ground. Consumes 100 mana.]
[Skill: Lv 2. Throwing Storm – When thrown, the sword spins and emits a sharp wind of aura. Consumes 70 mana.]
[Skill: Lv 1. Recovery – Recall and retrieve the sword wherever it is. Consumes 1 mana.]
A sword with a black blade exuding vicious energy.
It was an item that was dropped by a strong demon legionnaire.
Inside the longsword, the skills he used were loaded, and each skill had the highest level of attack power, and also had the ability to retrieve the sword.
Is that why?
“Whoa, you must buy that one.”
“Crazy, a long sword has 500 attack power? Where else would something like this come from?”
The allied hunters who participated in the auction all salivated as they watched the long sword of the Demon Corps commander.
Other auction items did not attract much attention.
All of them are hunters who are called the best in their respective countries, and as much as they wanted something, they didn’t even look at advanced or lore grades.
Occasionally, a bidding competition would occur when a hero grade item appeared, but it was not that severe.
For fairness, only hunters who participated in EX-class dungeon raids or their agents could participate in this auction, so it was an atmosphere of buying items you really needed.
Time passed like that, and the long-awaited end.
The long sword of the Demon Legion Commander that everyone had been waiting for came back.
Prices have risen sharply since the beginning.
“I will start with 100 billion won.”
“200 billion.”
“400 billion.”
“600 billion”
Scary to say, the host offered prices here and there.
It’s not a small unit, but it’s a price that doubles.
To be honest, personally, I didn’t think it was too much.
Others seemed to think it was rather cheap.
“group 1.”
“I will change the unit to 1 trillion won from now on.”
“Article 2.”
“Article 3.”
The price continued to rise, reaching the 3 trillion won offered by the Saudi Arabian government as a reward for success.
Nonetheless, everyone did not stop bidding, so the hunters who participated in this auction seemed to judge that the reward for this raid was sufficient with just that long sword.
No, he seemed to think it was worth more than that.
“Article 9.”
“Article 12.”
“Article 15.”
Prices skyrocketed.
The amount far exceeds the annual budget of most local governments in Korea.
But did I say that the world is wide and there are many rich people?
In particular, since this is a place where only the best hunters in the world gather, money seems to be just overflowing.
“Article 18.”
“Twenty trillion!”
Prices continued to rise.
But then, the heat that had been in full swing cooled down with a low sigh in an instant.
Article 20.
Since then, no one has raised a hand.
At that moment, I quietly opened my mouth.
“Article 50.”
More than double the highest ever made.
OK.
“… … .”
The auction house fell silent for an instant.
The silence didn’t last long.
“… Hunter Han Sang-woo called for 50 trillion won. Does anyone have one?”
“As expected, Hunter Han Sang-woo also had an idea.”
“Then it is right to give it away. You are a hero of mankind, so you deserve it. He can’t be competing with someone like that.”
“That’s right, and there won’t be anyone else to call for that much? A whopping 50 trillion.”
Starting with the host, everyone quickly grasped the situation and removed their hands.
The reasons were several.
From the opinion that the sword should be given to me, the hero of mankind, to the opinion that the price was reasonable.
The alliance hunters and agents who participated in the auction house looked at each other and talked in whispers, and then did not proceed with the bidding.
“With this, we will close the auction. Hunter Han Sang-woo received the bid for the long sword of the Demon Corps commander.”
That’s how the long sword of the demon corps commander came into my hand.
“Congratulations, Hunter Han Sang-woo. The best sword has met the best master.”
“Congratulations too. And thank you. If it wasn’t for Hunter Han Sang-woo, I wouldn’t have been able to save my life.”
“Huh! So do i. Hunter Han Sang-woo, if you don’t mind, can I take a picture? It was an honor to raid together!”
Hunters at the auction house came up to me and congratulated me by shaking hands and asking for photos.
Requests for handshakes pouring in countless times.
I wanted to respond to everything in my heart, but I couldn’t afford it.
Because there was still work to be done.
“Thank you for all the congratulations. I have work to do with the photo and handshake, so I’ll do it next time. Enough… .”
“Get out of the way, everyone! The boss is passing by!”
“I will take you outside, lord.”
“Whoa. There are too many people, so I feel like cursing.”
“Shall we kill them, Master?”
“… Look at the face of the hero and bear with it, assassin.”
Escorted by the characters, I left the auction house and moved to my hotel room.
And after putting the longsword of the Demon Corps Commander into the inventory.
