#272, The way out
“… … .”
Wu Kingdom hesitated for a moment and then slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box.
“Hey. If you can bribe them with a top-quality artifact… , I guess it’s a trillion-dollar project?”
“No, I mean, I can explain everything.”
“It’s an excuse. “Don’t sell it, use it well.”
“yes?”
“Oh, Chief, do you need money?”
“There is a great need right now… .”
“Do you want to be rich?”
“that… , of course. “Is there anyone in this world who doesn’t want to be rich?”
“yes. When you become rich, you no longer have to worry about your boss, you can get rid of everything that sucks, you don’t have to work in the first place, you have everything you want, you can spend a lot of money and go on trips, and you can post a picture of your foreign car on Instagram to get attention and live like that. You can. “Do you also dream of a life like that, Director Oh?”
While I was talking, I sat down and motioned for the Wu Kingdom to sit down as well.
“… … yes. Well, a few things are included.”
The Five Kingdoms answered as they sat down.
It wasn’t as bad as I expected, so he looked more anxious… .
However, I had no intention of blaming him from the beginning.
Because it was all expected.
Although the scale is very different from now and the position has changed, wasn’t the original job of the Five Kingdoms as a ‘service arm’, oiling the stomachs of snail-like European civil servants to make things easier?
“That’s why I’m asking.”
“… … ?”
“When you get rich, will you leave me?”
“yes?”
“If you have money to spare even after spending your whole life playing, there’s no reason for you to stay under me.”
“Oh, no? “I’m not working under you to make money, am I?”
“Then what is it for?”
“that… royalty… , loyalty. Otherwise, why would I have stayed at the farm when the chairman lost contact with me for two years? Of course, CEO Ka and CEO Park continued to pay my salary back then, but I am someone who earns that much no matter where I go.”
“Right… .”
“… What is it? That reaction? “You don’t believe me?”
“believe. However, if what you say is true, I don’t think you need to become rich.”
“why… ?”
“What do you do when you have a lot of money? I don’t have time to write. I have no intention of watching you sit around spending a lot of money… Also, since I am not a European employer, it would be best not to expect a few months of vacation. As long as it’s useful, I’ll keep rolling it around. Oh, of course, if you get married and have children, there will be someone to take care of you, but before that… “I don’t know if I’ll have time for a relationship.”
“haha… .”
The Five Kingdoms let out an awkward laugh with a black, dead face.
‘Only use those teeth on someone you can relate to.’
As I smiled and went into hardening, the Five Kingdoms attempted to escape.
“But even if it’s because you’re busy when you’re young… “Shouldn’t I also prepare for retirement?”
“hmm… . yes. But you don’t need to worry about that. My employee has reached retirement age and is retiring. Are you going to let me worry about his retirement? You don’t have to save even a single penny. “I’ll entrust you with a pension trust so you don’t have to worry until you put shit on the wall and close the coffin lid.”
“… thank you.”
“So, our loyal Chief Oh, there is no need to be rich.”
“… … .”
“Don’t be too greedy.”
“yes… .”
After watching the dejected Five Kingdoms for a while, I thought I had teased them enough and took out the business I had come for.
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t do anything in the future.”
The Five Kingdoms looked bewildered, as if they couldn’t believe what was coming out of my mouth.
“… “Can I keep taking it?”
I smiled and nodded.
“If up until now it was just to fill your stomach, now it means giving yourself room to catch people.”
After sending the link to the player community to the Oh Kingdom, he continued.
“Enter the link I just sent you.”
“… “What is this?”
“There is a group of people who call themselves ‘players.’”
I thought a bit about whether showing the player community was a good thing.
I thought that if I gave a vague explanation to the quick-witted Five Kingdoms, it would get out of control later when he found out about something individually.
So, I chose to show it all openly, but dramatize it slightly.
“Literally… , they think the world is a game and they are gamers who enjoy that world. “You can think of it as the concept of a group.”
The Five Kingdoms, who had been following some posts while listening to my explanation, widened their eyes.
“What the fuck… ! These are complete idiots, right? “It was these guys who kidnapped and murdered the executives of the World Fighters Association.”
“okay. To them, murder and robbery are just a game. There are thousands of crazy people like that, no… “Maybe tens of thousands.”
“I see that this is an automatic translation site for the Setting Bureau… “It seems like they are all globally mixed?”
“that’s right. There are about 2,700 Koreans alone. “I still don’t know how many foreigners there are.”
“her… ! But if this is a community only used by those players… , I will never be able to catch you with just this.”
Listening to the Oh Kingdom speak, it seemed like he had never even heard of the ‘330414’ group.
“First of all, we know the identities of all those in the country. Even so, the problem is that it is difficult to make a blanket decision.”
Kingdom Oh looked a little excited and shouted as he held out a screen displaying a bulletin board.
“no! My identity has been revealed. What’s difficult about it? Just grab it and hit it. “There’s evidence here!”
“With that, can you identify who among the 2,700 people did it?”
“First, we have to catch anyone and narrow down the scope.”
“Is it the Fifth Republic? And right now, public power can’t catch them. “Out of those 2,700 people, there is no one below grade A, and at least 20% are grade S.”
“Phew! Wow! Keck… “Keck.”
Oh Kingdom, who was drinking water as if he was feeling stuffy, pounded his chest in frustration.
“… … Ah-oh. It’s the neck. Even if you add up all the S-class people in the world, there are less than 1,000, so why are you so serious in saying something that doesn’t seem like something?”
Of course, considering the current point in time, there was a bit of exaggeration.
However, considering the deceased character’s combat sense and item settings, which knew most of the compatibility even though it did not meet the grade requirements stipulated by the NPCs – it was not necessarily an exaggerated story.
“Whether you believe it or not, that’s not important. I will catch and punish them, but there is no way to find the people who are hiding by laundering their identities. They are crazy, not stupid. “They will never go out of their way to reveal themselves, and if they realize they are being hunted, they will definitely disappear.”
I decided to hunt down players, but the biggest obstacle was that even I couldn’t recognize the players.
A player would definitely check my name (name) above my head at least once, so I might have noticed it if I just ran into it, but there was no way I would have noticed it even if I passed by on the street.
It is impossible to accompany Gu Chang-soo 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
“So that community should never be made public. No, you shouldn’t show that you know.”
There was no way the Five Kingdoms knew about the systematic pros and cons, but they understood what I meant in the sense that they were a secret organization.
“Hmm. If they close the community, it would be a no-brainer. “If we want to understand their movements until the very end, we cannot use the information we get from there to set a trap.”
“yes. As I said before, I will be the one to hunt them down. All you have to do is become an escape route for those who are trying to hide.”
“It’s an escape… ?”
“I said they were all people whose identities were revealed. “They all have the same license registration date, 330414.”
Perfect!
The Five Kingdoms snapped its fingers.
“Ah, 330414! “I saw it a lot in the posts earlier, so I was wondering what it meant.”
“What will happen if I start hunting them?”
“They will either gather around and try to join forces, or they will try to launder their identities.”
“okay. But there’s really no way to catch those who personally wash it or ship it overseas. So, before that, let’s prepare an easy and convenient way in advance.”
“ah… ! So, way out! Haha! I came here thinking it was a way to survive, but it turned out to be the gates of hell. Hahahahaha!”
The Five Kingdoms held their stomachs and laughed as if they couldn’t bear it because it was so fun.
‘… Was this the point to laugh like that?’
Anyway, this kid is completely unknown.
“anyway… That’s the situation now. We’ve put them in a group of note, but we can’t treat them like criminals simply because of their license number. In any case, they are also citizens of this country, and we cannot conclude that all the hunters who registered on that date were those crazy people.”
“That’s right.”
“Right now, a dungeon crime investigation team is being formed, but in the end, they have no choice but to focus on the active criminals. Still, if they continue to be bothered, it will definitely become an issue. So, first, create an organization where normal people like ‘Numberman’ can receive relief. “If you represent someone with your sign now, you won’t be able to tackle them in the first place.”
“Ugh… ! understand.”
“You understand?”
“It’s about becoming a gate that allows you to come out into the sun. “They act as if they are representing those who have been wronged, but behind the scenes, they receive and launder the dealings of those so-called players.”
“uh. That’s true, but in the process, we need to distinguish those who are truly wronged.”
“hmm… , Of course it is, but how can I distinguish it?”
“They will assign a separate person in charge of that. “Come in.”
I called the guy waiting outside.
Grumble!
Gu Chang-soo entered with a puzzled look on his face.
“Who are you?”
The Five Kingdoms asked me, but I just looked at Gu Changsu.
It meant introducing it directly.
“… It is called Gu Chang-su. “He is an unfair person who starts with 330414.”
It seems that Gu Chang-soo also heard our story outside the door and made a mental note to introduce himself.
I said, turning my gaze to the Five Kingdoms.
“Did you hear? But he’s not really an unfair person, he’s one of the players. What should I say… . Just think of him as a repentant sentient being. “To you, you are a promotional model for Yang Ji-hwa.”
The Five Kingdoms looked at Gu Changsu with wary eyes and spoke to me.
“… … In short, you’re a traitor, aren’t you?”
He grabbed the heads of the five kingdoms.
Perfect!
“Oops!”
“What kind of traitor do you think you are when you first met? To the person’s face. Tsk.”
“… “Isn’t it because he was on the same side that he was able to distinguish between those crazy people?”
“I’ll tell you in advance that the two of you may meet without me in the future, but I’m guessing he’s somewhere between A1 advanced and the beginning of S class?”
Before I finished speaking, the Wu Kingdom’s complexion turned pale.
However, Wu Kingdom quickly regained his composure and shook Gu Changsu’s hand with a smile on his face.
“uh… Well, that’s what I meant for a laugh. Haha. These are the five kingdoms. really. “Please sit down.”
“… … .”
As Gu Changsu sat down in silence, Wu Kingdom handed him a glass and lifted the bottle.
“haha. Let’s have a drink and relax. “Are you sincere about what you said to the person the Chairman brought in?”
“… … .”
From my perspective, Gu Chang-soo was just being shy, regardless of whether he was in a good or bad mood, but it seemed like the Five Kingdoms would quickly put an end to that.
“Then today, you two can have a drink and get to know each other. “I have work to do again, so I have to go.”
As I stood up, Oh Kingdom urgently grabbed my pants.
“Shoes, Chairman? Well, unless it’s urgent, let’s do it together. “It’s been a while for us too.”
“Urgent.”
widely!
I shook off the hands of the five kingdoms and left the room.
It wasn’t just an excuse, because a message had arrived from Joo Ja-heon a little while ago.
(Stefan: How are you? He asks me to stop by when I feel a little calmer.)
