Jungcheon (2)

“It reveals the performance well enough to describe it, but does not reveal too much unreasonable strength… Can you understand that?”

“Accurate.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded satisfactorily to Junho Jeon, who was good at summarizing.

“Then I will adjust the raid time a little bit arbitrarily. I have to make an alibi for Cha Shin Hyeon without considering teleporting.”

"all right."

“Oh, and I’m going to quietly cover up the betrayal of the two directors who betrayed me, but aren’t you offended by it?”

“It doesn’t matter, but why?”

“If you report their betrayal as it is, wouldn’t it be possible to know that in an 8-3 situation, 3 were fine and 80,000 were all dead? Rather than that, Cha Shin Hyeon overcame the numerical superiority with Cha Shin Hyeon's performance in about 5-6, I think this is appropriate. and… If the story leaks in the future, there will be a morale problem for the guild members.”

“It must be so. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”

Cha Shin Hyeon generously agreed.

It must have been painful for Jeon Jun-ho or Lee Ji-hye, but in Cha Shin Hyeon's head, the names are only vaguely remembered as traitors A and B.

We only went to the Taeyang Festival together once, and there is no contact other than that. He didn't care what he did with the extras that died in one room.

Rather, they can't openly call the traitor a traitor, and have to turn them into a victim.

Jeon Jun-ho bowed his head while trying to smile.

“Thank you for your cooperation. Thanks to that, I think I will be able to work on persuasion a little more easily.”

“What kind of cooperation is this? It won't be easy either way, but please do your best.”

After mutual coordination, the conversation was almost finished.

“Ah, over there.”

Before the end, Lee Ji-hye sneaked into her.

“ There is one thing I would like to hear from Cha Shin Hyeon.”

"what?"

“If an integrated guild is born, shouldn’t the name be changed?”

“Again, talking about it… … .”

Jeon Jun-ho muttered a little with a troubled expression next to him. Cha Shin Hyeon asked what was going on.

“Aren’t you going to keep the guild name of Dawning?”

“If that happens, the image is too much like a merger. The scale and power of Twilight are larger than Dawn, but if the guild name is Dawn, there will be opposition from ordinary hunters who do not know the circumstances.”

“Well then, what are you going to change?”

“It should be a name that will satisfy both of them.”

“So what is it?”

At Cha Shin Hyeon's urging, Lee Ji-hye smiled triumphantly.

“Think about it. Dawn is the time for the sun to rise, isn't it? Twilight is when the sun goes down.”

"right."

"Then what's in the middle? The time when the sun is in the middle of the sky. It is the middle heaven!”

“… So you’re going to name the new guild Jungcheon?”

“No, I don’t like that.”

Jeon Jun-ho grumbled while Cha Shin Hyeon asked a question with an angry expression. Lee Ji-hye pouted her lips.

"why?"

“Initially, the name “Dawn” was a name against the twilight. The confrontation is also gone, do I need to hang on to it? Better to use a new name that has nothing to do with both.”“Then the sense of belonging can disappear.”

“They are merged anyway, but in the midst of chaos, you have to bear that amount. And if I write ‘middle’, does the sense of belonging strengthen? What is the logic of adding dawn and twilight and dividing it into two to get a middle heaven?”

The two clashed. Cha Shin Hyeon sighed and said.

“It’s up to the two of you to decide what… … .”

“It is because opinions are divided on a one-to-one basis. Jungchun, are you okay?”

“Please say no.”

Jun-ho Jeon asked for help, but Cha Shin Hyeon coolly slapped him in the back of the head.

“I don’t think it’s too bad.”

"also!"

"Yes? Are you serious?”

“The mid-point between dawn and twilight is a bit of a stretch, but it can be attached, and there is a feeling that the middle of the sky is the best.”

Asking for help was a mistake. Crayfish are on the side, and Cha Shin Hyeon, who is more deeply immersed in Moorim's classic sensibility than Lee Ji-hye, could not give a trendy answer.

"still… this is a bit... … .”

“If you don’t like it, convince the deputy guild leader, not me. It's not even my guild, so two people should name it. I will not care.”

Judging by Lee Ji-hye's raised nose, it seems like a relationship has already occurred, but Jun-ho Jeon wisely didn't tackle it. He knew who the target was.

“… There's no need to finalize a name until the integration is officially announced anyway, so let's do it slowly. Are you fine?"

“Well, it is.”

Jeon Jun-ho's proposal was agreed by Lee Ji-hye.

“Looking at the stories like this, it seems that important conversations with me have come to an end.”

Cha Shin Hyeon smiled faintly.

“Let’s just get up.”

“Oh, yes. Take a look.”

“I will get back to you soon.”

"then."

After greeting, Cha Shin Hyeon left the Yeomyeong headquarters.

From now on, it was theirs.

* * *

Three days later, I got a call from Lee Ji-hye.

To hear the detailed progress of the work, he found time to visit the office.

“The persuasion ended safely.”

Lee Ji-hye said with a bright face.

“Of course it took me a while to accept that the Twilight Chief was dead in the first place.”

“Did you take it well?”

“What can I do if I don’t accept it?”

There is a chill in her smile with a bright smile.

“I couldn't believe it and burst into anger, but that couldn't lead to violence. Knowing that, I came here.”

They were the elite hunters who oversee each region or assist the high-ranking hunters, but they were in the 40s level anyway. There is a large wall between the level 60 and the level.

Lee Ji-hye and Jeon Jun-ho, just the two of them, were able to deal with all the manager-level hunters gathered in the secret meeting room. Because the other person is also well aware of this, we have no choice but to suppress our emotions.

“To put it a little exaggeration, twilight is a twilight kite. Thanks to Jun-ho Jeon’s diligent running after the incident, everyone who can help from outside is on our side.”

Dawn's proposal was gentle, but there was also a threat behind it. If you decline the offer, the dark side of Twilight will be exposed and your reputation will suffer a fatal blow.

Even if I wanted to argue that the evidence was fabricated, it was already too late. Autopsies and on-site investigations of the corpses were completed in secret cooperation with the special police.

I don't want to make a big deal right now, so I keep my mouth shut, but if Twilight opposes the evidence, it will show the power of public power.

“Actually, there must be a problem of attacking high-risk dungeons.”

"Yes. As the disappearances of the board of directors were prolonged, even the managers at the senior level were increasingly anxious.”

The crime was first committed by twilight, and it lacked justification and was a problem in terms of practicality. It was difficult to refuse the woman's extended hand.

“Actually, it’s difficult to become a high-ranking hunter, but for hunters less than that, it doesn’t matter if the sign is at dusk or dawn. It’s the same with being a salaried worker.”

The hunter's guild operates in such a way that the guild retains part of the monster's profits from the dungeon and gives part of it to the guild members as salaries.

Changing the sign of Twilight to Dawn does not reduce the number of dungeons. It was not difficult at all to keep Fay the same, and most hunters were not dissatisfied with that alone.

“Some of the bone marrow may be dissatisfied that Dawn has defeated Twilight, but they don't have the courage to talk about it in front of them. And since I decided to use the name Jungcheon, I was looking at my face as much as possible. It sounds like you're full if you kick it."

“What, did you finally decide to go to the middle?”

“The guild leader is still in the opposite position. So he tentatively called it Jungcheon. Even the hunters on the twilight side didn't seem to have any complaints... … .”

“Maybe it’s because you haven’t been able to express your objection.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grinned.

“Anyway, I’m glad it went well. It takes a bit more heart to fine-tune the details.”

"Yes. It won't take long though. It is not an exaggeration to say that the director level or higher, to be honest, exists only for high-risk dungeon raids. Other than that, he behaves arbitrarily.”

“Hey, I mean I did.”

“Oh, no, it’s not that Cha Shin Hyeon is like that.”

Lee Ji-hye hurriedly clapped her hand.

“It means that it has almost nothing to do with guild management. In fact, even if the brains have evaporated, the twilight has only worked well for the past three weeks, right? Since we have been promised the cooperation of important executives, there will be no problems in management.”

“Then I’m glad. If that’s the case, can I just attack the high-risk dungeons as I was asked last time?”

"Yes. Can you take a look at this?”

It was spread out on B4 paper on the table. It was a South Korean mission without the North Korean part.

The red dots and squiggly letters reminded me of the insurance company's terms and conditions, but it was easy to read by the two people who could see ants crawling on the ground from a few dozen meters away.

“As of this morning, these are the locations of all high-risk dungeons in our country. Areas marked in red are areas that cannot be covered by Jungcheon's ability. We can mobilize middle-class hunters.”

“… A lot more red?”

Cha Shin Hyeon mumbled tremblingly.

The total number of dungeons is 64.

Among them, the number of red dungeons reached a whopping 40.

“You don’t mean to ask me to go back to all of this, right? Even if I go around once a day, it’s over a month?”

“Hey, I don’t make such a frivolous request. And the share of me and the guild leader is missing.”

“So the three of us have to go around 40?”

“… Yes."

“In the past, how many did one person take charge of?”

“Usually about five or six a month… … .”

“How many people did you want to keep alive?”

Cha Shin Hyeon shook her head nervously.

“If it were you, wouldn’t Jun-ho Jeon not be able to rotate a lot? I can't hit you with a ball."

"Yes. Considering the consumption of stamina and MP, even if you run as much as possible, once every three days. Ten a month would be the limit.”

“You also have to train a new high-ranking hunter.”

“… Yes."“It’s not even a fuss.”

Lee Ji-hye bowed her head as if she had no face. Cha Shin Hyeon smirked.

“If you turn around like that, you might be able to run a few a day… … .”

Since they have infinite stamina, agility, and magical power, spinning is not a problem at all.

I just don't like going in and out of dungeons like that. She's not even a cleaning robot, so what is she going to do?

“There is no time limit, so I will go as far as I can. Would that be okay?”

"Yes! Thank you very much."

Ji-hye Lee expressed her gratitude with the momentum to make a big bow.

She grinned bitterly as Cha Shin Hyeon murmured in her mind.

‘If this is the case, the level-up seems to be sluggish before the end of this year.’

He has already reached level 65 in Chuncheon Dungeon.

High-risk dungeons refer to the places where hunters of level 50 or higher go, so even if you go to high-risk dungeons that are a bit weak, the level will not go up.

From then on, hunting becomes more like simple labor. You can make a lot of money by collecting monsters, but that doesn't make Cha Shin Hyeon attractive to Cha Shin Hyeon, who is more interested in level than money.

‘Should I go towards raising Eunseol’s level? … .'

Well, if you think about it, the time has come when the level will reach a stagnant state even if there is no request from Lee Ji-hye. There are hardly any dungeons in Korea that match his level.

In a way, he may have come to a situation where he could eat a lot of even small (?) experience points by taking on high-risk dungeons. As a bonus, she can freely choose her sister's hunting grounds.

'A bastard.'

In the end, it turns out that it was Park Tae-hoon's fault for touching himself and causing Satan. Because of him, the high-ranking hunters have completely died, so this is not how it looks.

Groaning inwardly, he opened his mouth.

“If you and Junho Jeon decide which dungeon to take on and tell them, I will do the rest. When it's decided, shoot an email or something."

“I will.”

"then… Oh right."

As she was about to finish the conversation, Cha Shin Hyeon remembered something.

“I’m just asking this just in case.”

"Please speak."

“Have you never been followed by me?”

"Yes? Are you sorry?”

Lee Ji-hye tilted her head at the random question.

“Are you telling me to follow the master swordsman?”

“Hmm. Who is Jeon Jun-ho?”

“He doesn’t know Shim Gum, but he knows very well that he shouldn’t go against Cha Shin Hyeon’s heart. He wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.”

“Well, I guess. I asked because I could do such a thing with good intentions.”

“It seems there are criminals who follow suit with good intentions.”

“It’s not. A secret escort or something.”

Cha Shin Hyeon shrugged. Of course, there was no way two people who knew his skills well could do something useless without permission.

Lee Ji-hye removed her playfulness and she asked seriously.

“The reason you’re asking is because you have a tail, right?”

“About two days? It's a bit clumsy for a follower... Based on Moorim's standards, maybe that's the case. Anyway, if it's not you, it's obvious who you are. There is no one who can direct such a thing at twilight.”

Cha Shin Hyeon made a dry cynicism.

“Is it China?”
