Only I Have Two Towers Episode 219

 

The Runner’s Idea

 

Seoul Central Player Hunter Bureau.

 

“There’s a call from the Blue House!”

 

“Tell them to wait a bit.”

 

“We already told them to wait earlier?!”

 

“Tell them to wait longer. We just saw it too, so what do they expect us to do.”

 

External Cooperation Team Leader Im Woo-gang frowned.

 

‘Did I skip my prayers today?’

 

No.

 

I did them right after waking up.

 

Please let today be a peaceful day too.

 

But God had abandoned Im Woo-gang.

 

The System Message that appeared before his eyes as soon as he came to work.

 

That message heated up not only the Player Hunter Bureau but the entire world.

 

“There’s a call from the Director!”

 

“Tell them to wait… Ah?! Don’t hang up! If you hang up that one, we’re all dead!”

 

After taking a deep breath, he picked up the internal phone.

 

“Yes. External Cooperation Team Leader Im Woo…”

 

# Team Leader Im Woo-gang.

 

“Yes, yes.”

 

# Why do you carry your phone around? You’re not going to answer it anyway, so just break it.

 

Im Woo-gang closed his eyes after checking his phone.

 

12 missed calls from the External Cooperation Bureau Director.

 

Putting it on sleep mode because of calls coming from all directions was the problem.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

# You don’t need to be sorry, just do well. If we mess this up, we might all have to pack our desks. How’s the situation?

 

“All Hunter Bureaus from every country have given consistent answers. They say they won’t do anything. They’re not planning to make a fuss over just one new layer appearing.”

 

# Bullshit.

 

“It is bullshit. Mid to high-grade consumable items are running dry in all countries’ shops. Everything from resource recovery to stat enhancement potions and even secretaries. They’re hard to find in auction houses too. Famous brand shops have already pulled their items early. It seems like they’re trying to make large-scale sales contracts.”

 

# Most of the demand would be from that country’s Hunter Bureau, right?

 

“Yes. They’re using aliases, but it’s definitely the Hunter Bureaus. Only Hunter Bureaus can move that kind of money in such a short time.”

 

# Cunning foxes. They’re desperate to clear it first somehow.

 

This is a world where the number of cleared layers is national pride and the players you possess equals national power.

 

The Fortress of Rakshasa, the Unique Layer that the system announced to the entire world as never having been conquered.

 

If they were the first to clear this place?

 

It would be excellent national promotion.

 

Not to mention monopolizing the clear rewards.

 

# What do you think we should do, Team Leader Im Woo-gang? Fight fire with fire?

 

Im Woo-gang took a deep breath and spoke.

 

“I think fighting fire with fire would be too reckless. Even if we threw South Korea’s entire GDP at it, it would be hard to keep up with other major powers.”

 

# So you’re saying we should just sit back and do nothing? They’re going to sweep up all the stock in our country too.

 

“Let them do it. But at prices inflated several times over.”

 

# Ho. We don’t know about clearing the Tower, but let’s try inflating our GDP while we’re at it?

 

“Yes.”

 

Heavy silence flowed from the other end.

 

In the time it took to swallow once.

 

# Team Leader Im Woo-gang.

 

A somewhat calmer voice came through.

 

“Yes, Director.”

 

# Who gave you that fox-like idea? Team Leader Im Woo-gang is a bear. They’re right next to you, aren’t they? Put them on.

 

Cold sweat ran down Im Woo-gang’s back.

 

Excuses were impossible.

 

External Cooperation Bureau Director Yoon Se-won, nicknamed the thousand-year-old fox.

 

Once she caught the scent, it was right to confess everything.

 

“I’ll put them on.”

 

“!?”

 

Jin Yun-ho, who was sipping coffee, silently waved his hands.

 

Even for someone as experienced as him, Yoon Se-won was scary.

 

He hadn’t planned to come forward anyway.

 

# Team Leader Jin Yun-ho, right?

 

Another moment of silence flowed.

 

Jin Yun-ho squeezed his eyes shut and took the phone.

 

“Hello, Bureau Director. How did you know I was here too?”

 

# Team Leader Im Woo-gang is a bear, so he doesn’t listen to others well. Except for one person, Team Leader Jin Yun-ho, with whom he has very strong camaraderie. You know too, right? That our Team Leader Im trusts you absolutely. I don’t like it though.

 

“I, I see.”

 

# Now then, tell me. Why did you give him that idea? Normally you would have been clamoring to clear it. Demanding we cooperate with other companies to pull in items immediately, of course. This is quite unexpected.

 

Sweat dripped from Jin Yun-ho’s forehead.

 

Sharp. Keen. Felt like it would cut. Really.

 

“Could this be off the record? If this gets out, other departments will obviously go crazy. Making important decisions based on what outsiders say.”

 

# Of course. Starting now.

 

“I got a call from the Runner. He told us not to respond to the Fortress of Rakshasa. And if the Hunter Bureau has consumable item stock, to raise prices several times and sell to other countries.”

 

# What’s the basis?

 

“Two things. First, he said the number of consumable items won’t affect clearing. He said those Rakshasas have revival abilities beyond these consumable items. The Runner said if someone can clear it, they’ll clear it without consumable items, and if someone can’t clear it, they won’t be able to even with thousands of consumable items.”

 

# What about the second?

 

“The Runner said he wasn’t certain about this, but the Fortress of Rakshasa might not open after 72 hours.”

 

# What? What does that mean? Is the system going to change its word?

 

“He said he’d contact us again about that later.”

 

# Huh… The Runner isn’t even affiliated with the Hunter Bureau, right?

 

“Yes.”

 

# But Team Leader Jin Yun-ho still believes in the Runner?

 

“Yes. That’s right. Completely.”

 

# Bureau Director Lee Chang-gi, who cares for Team Leader Jin, would be the same? Oh, surely not Strategic Operations Director Han Ji-won who supposedly switched sides too?

 

“I’ll give no comment on that.”

 

# Haha… These people are complete gamblers. Going all-in on a hand that’s opposite to the entire world? Is that a rational judgment?

 

“Yes. I’m always rational. And going all-in on that hand is also an extremely rational judgment.”

 

# How can you be so confident?

 

“By my standards, rationality means betting on a card with 100% win rate. By the same standards, irrationality would be having such a card and betting elsewhere.”

 

Yoon Se-won’s voice couldn’t be heard.

 

Only the sound of regularly tapping the desk could be heard.

 

# It’s too scary to ignore, but the fruit is too sweet to turn away from.

 

It was hard to imagine.

 

The global status that the Korean Player Hunter Bureau and External Cooperation Department would gain if this reverse bet succeeded.

 

# Okay. Team Leader Im Woo-gang?

 

“Yes, Director!”

 

# Let’s bet on the 100% card too, shall we? Pack your bags in advance. If we’re wrong, we’ll all have to take responsibility.

 

“Ah, understood!”

 

Jin Yun-ho sighed and sat down.

 

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t anxious about the uncertain situation.

 

But he believes.

 

The Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok who has an absolute win rate.

 

Guwun-ri, Yesan-gun, Chungnam.

 

Yoo Jin-hee and Oh Min-hee, who were on their way to school late, stopped walking.

 

“What? Is there construction somewhere?”

 

More than ten large trucks approaching from far away.

 

It was a sight rarely seen in peaceful Guwun-ri.

 

“Huh? They’re coming this way?”

 

The convoy of trucks that had left the road turned onto the path where the two were.

 

For some reason, the lead vehicle gradually slowed down.

 

It seemed like it would stop in front of Yoo Jin-hee, then the window rolled down.

 

“Hey, Miss Yoo.”

 

“Huh? What? Why are you riding in there?”

 

“Are you a delinquent? What time is it and you’re going to school now.”

 

“Today’s a day we can go late though?”

 

“Who are you to decide that.”

 

“The school decided it though?”

 

“Hello!”

 

“Oh? Min-hee, hello.”

 

“Ooh! Mini, hello! You’re doing this.”

 

“I wasn’t doing that. Min-hee, is today really a day we go late?”

 

“Yes! Every Wednesday we can arrive at school by 12 o’clock!”

 

“I see.”

 

“Why don’t you believe me!”

 

“Every time you open your mouth it’s a lie, how can I believe you. Oh right.”

 

He took out the spy Gant’s cloak from his bag.

 

Jinhyeok threw it through the window.

 

“What’s this dirty cloak… Huh?! A unique cloak?!”

 

Yoo Jin-hee’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

 

It even had the unique effect of reducing presence and aggro.

 

An option absolutely necessary for summoners.

 

“Wow! I’ll use it well, oppa. What’s the occasion.”

 

“Keep it as a family heirloom. Well then, good luck. Min-hee, bye!”

 

“Take care!”

 

“Wait! Since you’re here, give me some pocket money before you go!”

 

“Don’t say crazy things. How long has it been since I gave you a million won. Bye.”

 

The lead truck whooshed away.

 

Yoo Jin-hee smacked her lips.

 

Today she’d have to be satisfied with the cloak.

 

And just as she was about to continue on to school.

 

A sports car at the very back of the truck convoy stopped.

 

The driver’s seat opened and.

 

“Uh…?”

 

“Huh?!”

 

Yoo Jin-hee and Oh Min-hee’s eyes widened.

 

Eyes that grew incomparably larger than when they saw oppa Jinhyeok.

 

What appeared through the open door was an unmistakable face.

 

It was a super influencer that anyone who used Instagram would know.

 

“Wowwww! It’s Jin Seo-hee! Older Sister! I’m a total fan! I press the heart every day!”

 

“Me too, Older Sister! You’re so pretty!”

 

Jin Seo-hee smiled naturally, as if accustomed to this reaction.

 

“Thank you. You’re Jinhyeok’s younger sister?”

 

“You know our oppa? No way! If you have any dirt on him, please shake the carrot! I’ll take care of oppa for you!”

 

Jin Seo-hee burst into laughter.

 

A younger sister with a completely different style from Yoo Jin-hyeok.

 

“I don’t have any dirt, we’re close friends.”

 

“Close…?”

 

“Yeah, close.”

 

“Wow. No way.”

 

“What are your names, friends?”

 

“Yoo Jin-hee!”

 

“Oh Min-hee!”

 

“Pretty.”

 

Jin Seo-hee smiled.

 

Yoo Jin-hyeok’s real younger sister.

 

Having met like this, she couldn’t just leave again.

 

“We friends should buy something delicious to eat after school, right?”

 

As Jin Seo-hee took out her wallet, Yoo Jin-hee and Oh Min-hee looked at each other’s faces.

 

A major jackpot event.

 

Jin Seo-hee handed over a check and casually opened her mouth.

 

“Does oppa have a girlfriend?”

 

“Probably not. But he has brought girls home. Two of them.”

 

A mouth that opens even for a single 5,000 won bill.

 

There was no way to resist in front of a check.

 

“Two?”

 

“Yes! One was a ranker Player older sister.”

 

That was Cheon Se-yeon.

 

“One was a foreigner but I’m not sure. The ranker older sister was really pretty too, but that foreign older sister was really… unbelievable.”

 

Yoo Jin-hee shook her head with a dazed face as if drunk on a dream.

 

Beauty aside, that aura was unbelievable.

 

She could guarantee it was the most incredible person she’d ever seen in her life.

 

“Is that so? I see.”

 

Yoo Jin-hee received the check.

 

“Thank you! I’ll buy something delicious with my friend! Older Sister, could I possibly follow you on Instagram?”

 

“Me too!”

 

“Of course. Jin-hee and Min-hee, right? I’ll follow back right away.”

 

“Thank you!! Jackpot!!”

 

“Kyaaaaa!”

 

The two clapped their palms together in joy.

 

Jin Seo-hee smiled and waved at them.

 

“Then get to school safely.”

 

“Take care!”

 

“Goodbye!”

 

Jin Seo-hee got in her car and let out a quiet murmur.

 

A foreign older sister. Who could that be?

 

She thought for a moment then shook her head.

 

This wasn’t the time for that.

 

According to Jinhyeok, now was a once-in-a-lifetime money-making chance for Generosos and Yeongsanghoe.

 

Let’s hurry.

 

She couldn’t miss this opportunity.

 

Vrooooom!!
