Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius - Chapter 117



Episode 117 Appetizer Like a Mountain (1)

“The demons who kidnapped Shinhye… “The sooner we can subdue the Red Cross, the better.”

As soon as Kang Seo-jun gained Park Tae-ho’s trust, he enthusiastically briefed him on the importance of suppressing the Red Cross Society.

“There are more than one plot they are plotting. The longer the subjugation is delayed, the more they will proliferate like cockroaches. If we do not stop the Red Cross Society before it becomes too powerful, it will become a major obstacle to the future of Taishan.”

From noble mtl dot come

Of course, the reason Kang Seo-jun said this was to use the Taesan Group to rob the Red Cross Society.

But that didn’t mean he was just lying.

In reality, if left unattended, the Red Cross Society will grow to the point where it will become a major threat not only to the Taesan Group but also to the Republic of Korea in the future.

If you pull out the roots before that, you can have one less thing to worry about later.

‘We will use this opportunity to significantly improve our specifications and eliminate headaches in the future. ‘Kill two birds with one stone.’

“Hmm…”

Taeho Park was lost in thought while stroking his chin.

It wasn’t that I was worried because I didn’t believe Kang Seo-jun’s words that the Red Cross Society needed to be quickly defeated.

These are words spoken by a granddaughter-in-law from the future, so what he says must be true.

If possible, it would be better to actively accept it.

But the timing was not good.

Currently, all of Taishan Group’s main forces are concentrated in the “Top”.

In this situation, waging an all-out war with the Red Cross Society, a huge demon organization, was a burden for the Taisan Group.

‘You can’t defeat the main force on the front line of the tower.’

No matter how important it was to subdue the Red Cross Society, conquering the tower was just as important.

Because all the resources that could shake up the world situation and balance came from there.

‘Not even for a week is possible. If the supply of resources stops at the front line, Taisan Group will be eliminated immediately.’

It was already the Hwangryong Group, the Seongjin Group, the Kuyamoto Clan, and the Taesan Group, which had many competitors.

Even if it is an insignificant Mine organization, increasing the number of front lines in this situation will definitely be a burden for the Taesan Group.

“Seup… Hmm…”

But that doesn’t mean I can ignore my granddaughter-in-law’s words.

“Grandfather! The subjugation of the Red Cross Society is something that must be prioritized more than anything else right now!”

It would be foolish for a granddaughter-in-law from the future to ignore something that is so important.

‘And…’

I was so busy that I had no choice but to postpone it, but one day I had to definitely take revenge on the ‘Red Cross Society’.

In this world of hunters, prestige was as important as honor.

Even though the youngest member of the Taesan family was kidnapped by demons and almost died, if they left the demons alone without punishing them, how much less contempt would the world have for the Taesan Group.

‘What happens to those who touch Taishan… We need to clearly set an example… Hmm…’

Park Tae-ho’s worries deepened.

“Hmm…”

‘My worries are deepening.’

Kang Seo-jun whetted his appetite by reading Park Tae-ho’s inner thoughts with 《Eyes of Providence》.

I felt like I needed to persuade them a bit more to reach a conclusion.

“Is it because you’re worried about the tower?”

-Nod.

Taeho Park nodded silently.

“Then, would you please listen to my plan? There is no need to worry about the tower. It does not mean that we should focus all of the tower’s power on the Red Reverse Cross right now.”

“… Not moving the tower’s power? Aren’t you talking about an all-out war?”

“Yes. I am thinking of a guerrilla war, not an all-out war. All I need for my plan is your grandfather. Just one week. If you help me personally for just one week, I just need you.”

“A week? Me myself?”

“Yes.”

Honestly, this plan is meaningless unless Park Tae-ho directly helps.

Even with the support of the Taesan Guild, they could not overwhelm the demons with their vague [A] ~ [B] Level power.

Of course, they will be helpful to some extent, but if you attack the hideout with them, there will definitely be a lot of casualties.

It wasn’t Kang Seo-jun’s style to wantonly sacrifice his allies like that.

Obtaining maximum benefit with minimum sacrifice.

That was Kang Seo-jun’s style.

“Hmm…”

Taeho Park stroked his beard and exhaled his nose.

“Seojun. I’m not ignoring what you said, but… That’s a bit difficult. Don’t you know that? The tower needs me.”

Park Tae-ho was the most important force among Taesan’s major forces.

If he is left out of the tower, Taesan Group will not be able to demonstrate its skills in this attack on the tower.

Kang Seo-jun said he only needed to help him for a week, but even that week was quite a long time in the hunter world.

In fact, the tower strategy that Taesan Group participated in this time was a stratified strategy that could pour out a large number of items of [Epic] Grade or higher.

In such a situation, if Park Tae-ho is absent from the tower for a week, Taesan Group will hardly be able to play an active part in this attack, and this will lead to severe losses when distributing loot.

And the gap created by that loss would not be easy to make up again.

“I know what you’re worried about.”

Of course, as always, Kang Seo-jun had a way.

“Are you right in worrying that you won’t be able to grab important items in the tower?”

“… I think you are reading my mind.”

“…”

“That’s right. You’re right. If I’m not here, you’ll definitely suffer a loss when it comes to distribution of loot. Moreover, what we’re targeting right now is targeting the 67th floor stratum. The Sungjin Group is also participating, and Hwangryong and Kuyamoto are also participating. This is where the loot comes in. If there is a loss, Taisan may be eliminated from East Asia.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Let me explain.”

“…I’ll listen.”

“Anyway, you won’t find any valuable items in the 67th floor dungeon. At best, it’s hard armor and weapon materials.”

“… Hmm. Even if it’s as you said…”

Items are important, but the contribution to conquering the tower itself was also important.

Contribution was also an important factor that influenced the right to speak within the Hunter Alliance.

“Yes. I know that it is important to participate in the strategy and increase your contribution. However…”

Kang Seo-jun licked his lips once and continued speaking.

“If Grandpa invests in me this time, I can promise you 100 times more loot than you can get from conquering the 67th floor strata stock. No, 10,000 times more loot.”

“… Huh. You. “Were you exaggerating too much?”

“Grandpa, I’m not exaggerating. I know the locations of all the hidden pieces in the tower. Once I grow up to the point where I can enter the tower, the Taesan Group will be able to grab all the loot.”

“… !”

“And I have a special growth mechanism. The more mines I catch, the faster I can grow. If Grandpa helps me for just a week, it won’t be that far before I reach the top.”

“…Huh! That’s what you were aiming for. You spoke as if you were only thinking about Taesan’s future… In the end, you also had a desire for your own growth. Were you planning on using me for that? “

“My growth is Taesan’s future. Grandpa.”

“… Hehe!”

Taeho Park laughed as if it was absurd.

But he didn’t seem to feel bad.

He said with a gentle smile.

“Well, it’s not wrong. My son Taejin, you will lead Taesan next time. I have already seen it on parchment. “I can trust you.”

Thanks to the item 《Record of Destiny》, things went very smoothly.

“Good.”

Tae-ho Park spoke loudly.

“I will follow your plan for a week.”

“Haa… ! Thank you!”

Wow!

Kang Seo-jun did not hide his joy

Park Tae-ho smiled at the sight of Kang Seo-jun.

“It was something that had to be dealt with at some point anyway. This is an opportunity for you, but it’s also an opportunity for me. It’s as if the information I needed came rolling in.”

Park Tae-ho stood up from the head table and patted Kang Seo-jun on the shoulder.

“Time is of the essence for both of us, so let’s start tomorrow. You can complete all the necessary preparations before then, right?”

“Of course. I’d like to leave right away at 6 o’clock tomorrow morning. Is that okay?”

“6 o’clock is good. It’s just the time for this old man to get ready to go out. As he gets older, he loses sleep in the morning.”

“I see. That’s good. Then, I’ll come visit you here tomorrow.”

If you tell Shinhye in advance, she’ll probably send a pickup vehicle.

“Hmm? You’re coming back then? Were you planning on going back to the dormitory today?”

Taeho Park tilted his head.

“It’s been a really long time since I last met Seoyoon, so why? Let’s spend some time together.”

“Ah.”

Park Tae-ho is probably talking about sleeping with Park Seo-yoon.

Kang Seo-jun also wants to do that, but not right now.

If you sleep here, you won’t 100% sleep well at night.

If I lie down in the same bed with Park Seo-yoon right now, I’m sure I’ll be tricked until the sun rises tomorrow.

For an ordinary person, one bout would be 30 minutes, or at most an hour, but since the awakened body is special in every way, once it was done properly, it could be played continuously for 7 to 8 hours without stopping.

If that happens, it’s just a matter of condition management and everything else.

I have to go rob the hideout of the Red Cross Society tomorrow, but I need to take care of my condition.

Of course. I was taking care of my condition and had no intention of sleeping all morning.

“I have a lot to prepare for tonight. And there is one more thing I would like to ask you.”

“Please?”

“Yes. I would like to receive items from the mansion’s underground warehouse.”

-Sigh.

Taeho Park smiled at those words.

He looked like he was wondering why he wasn’t talking.

“Take whatever you want. You will take it as you please. You already know the password, right?”

“Yes. I will thank you.”

“Anyway, it’s family property, so there’s no need to bow your head like that. It’s in common with us. Then, I’ll rest first. You do your business, too. See you tomorrow morning.”

Taeho Park said hello and left the restaurant.

Park Shin-hye and Park Seo-yoon had already left a while ago, so now the only person left in the restaurant was Kang Seo-joon.

“Then…”

Everyone went back to rest, but Kang Seo-jun’s day wasn’t over yet.

Kang Seo-jun left the restaurant and went down to the basement of the mansion through the stairs in the lounge.

Kang Seo-jun soon arrived at the third basement floor and walked aimlessly through the dark hallway.

There was a large safe door at the end of the hallway.

The Taesan family’s safety.

There was an item inside that could make Kang Seo-jun grow.

“It’s perfect as an appetizer before eating the Red Cross Sashimi.”

There was no day or night or cooldown in Kang Seo-jun’s growth.
