Episode 99

Establishing a cooperative relationship with GGG.

There were no immediately tangible changes.

“Should I let you know when I need materials?”

“We’ll send them via private jet.”

Look at that scale.

Renting a cafe is nothing compared to this.

President Baek shook his head.

“Cargo transport will be fine.”

“If it’s urgent, that’s what we’ll do for you.”

The detailed aspects of establishing the cooperative relationship will be discussed separately.

Complex matters are left to the working-level staff.

I have no intention of stealing President Baek’s work, so please handle it well.

“Are you returning right away?”

“Oh my. You seem to want to see more of me.”

Um, ma’am.

I was just asking out of courtesy.

“I plan to stay for about two weeks before returning.”

She said if she came just to see me, the purpose would be too obvious.

Officially, this is a visit to secure routes for expanding into East Asia.

So she plans to have meetings with other guilds too.

“I’ll also do some sightseeing in Korea while I’m here.”

Her long finger pointed toward me.

“If you have time, I might ask you to be my guide?”

“Master is busy.”

【That, that, that human! How dare she make advances toward my Lord!】

At this moment.

The opinions of the two vassals who growled at each other daily became one.

You two.

Isn’t it a bit much to only get along at times like this?

We can joke around during business.

I missed the hint earlier and got flustered, but this time is different!

“Haha. Even as a joke, that would be an honor.”

“I’m being serious though?”

This isn’t right.

* * *

Before Executive Sofia returned to her country.

We ended the meeting after promising (feat. getting hooked) to meet once more.

“I’m surprised.”

President Baek expressed admiration.

“About what?”

“Hunter Park is starting to understand business now.”

Who, me?

“Didn’t you naturally create an opportunity for additional negotiations with Executive Sofia?”

No, I didn’t.

I said I’d leave the practical matters to you, President!

【My Lord’s schemes are growing deeper.】

“Phew. I thought Master was falling for that fox-like woman.”

It’s neither, so please be quiet.

“Oh right. Starting tomorrow, you’ll have attendants.”

“Attendants?”

“Their basic job is being a driver, but you can ask them to do anything you need.”

Attendants.

What kind of luxury is this.

“You don’t need to go that far.”

“As I mentioned before, Hunter Park’s time is very valuable.”

“Mmm. But public transportation is convenient.”

I glanced at him, but his expression didn’t look like he’d budge at all.

Yes.

Let’s do as you say.

“Shall I escort you home?”

“No. To the workshop.”

“Quite some time has passed.”

We waited for Sophia at Incheon International Airport.

Then moved locations for the meeting, and it was already afternoon.

By the time we reach the workshop, the shadows will be quite long.

“I have a lot to do. I can just sleep a little less.”

“Don’t overdo it too much.”

“Yes.”

I need to recover the depleted forces to some extent before attacking gates again.

Since there was also the incident of being attacked by Chinese Hunters.

I plan to build up at least that level of forces.

“I’m sorry. If I had been more careful, that incident wouldn’t have…”

“Everyone came out safely.”

Right.

Come to think of it, I wonder if the Support Team friends are okay.

They got caught up with me wholesale and faced life-threatening danger.

They might have lost heart.

“Ah. The Support Team Hunters said they’ll continue working.”

“They all have strong resolve.”

“The pay is good, isn’t it.”

What a cold capitalist conclusion.

After working all night and continuing to hammer until the next day.

—3 Tigris

—4 Armed Zombie Warriors

I was able to craft additionally.

Tigris took more time since the workload was double.

I tried to enhance Sir Isra too, but he refused.

【I have no doubt that my Lord will soon have dreams!】

“You Iron Head! It’s a spec upgrade to protect Master!”

【You have a physical body, so you’re comfortable.】

“So who told you to act expensive even in dreams?”

【Gah! Mage. Don’t arbitrarily judge my wishes!】

“I won’t modify Sir Isra right now.”

【My Lord! Thank you!】

I have to respect his wishes.

“Still though. Master.”

“It’s also difficult to adjust the reagents yet.”

To enhance Sir Isra further, I’d need to insert doped muscles.

But he can’t get bulky like the Armed Zombie Warriors.

“I need to inject reinforced muscle partially.”

If I strengthen the whole body, I won’t be able to utilize Sir Isra’s characteristic agile movements.

【As expected of my Lord! You’ve analyzed my strengths perfectly!】

“If I focus on it, it’ll be done within a week. If it’s not resolved by then, I’ll modify you.”

【Grrrowww. My past self. Please project your appearance to my Lord!】

There was also an unfunny incident.

[Arcturus Spear Technique skill is being added.]

[Arcturus Spear Technique]

Grade: C+

Classification: Warrior class

Restriction: Cavalry type

This is the spear technique learned by cavalry belonging to the Arcturus Empire’s regular army.

It specializes in mounted charges.

C+ grade.

After investing a reasonable amount of research time, a decent skill emerged.

“Tch.”

Ingrid made a displeased expression.

【Behold, Mage. See who is truly helpful to my Lord!】

“Just wait until the magic corps numbers increase. You Iron Head!”

【Hahaha. Look all you want. You can look right now too.】

“Grrrr.”

【My Lord. How long must I maintain this body?】

“Ah. You were here too.”

How should I modify the self-proclaimed archaeology expert to make proper use of him?

A style that targets enemy openings with agile movements.

Among the currently craftable undead list, the most suitable would be…

“A Ghoul, perhaps.”

“As expected of Master. I think that’s an appropriate selection.”

【My Lord’s insight is excellent.】

My two vassals showed intense reactions to my thoughts.

【I don’t want that, great Lord.】

Well, he says he doesn’t like it.

“What’s the reason you don’t like it?”

【Ah. Don’t Ghouls devour corpses?】

“It’s not about becoming a Ghoul, but modifying you to feel like one.”

【Please make it something cooler! Like Madam!】

Then you should show your face in my dreams too.

Since he says he doesn’t want the gaunt appearance like a Ghoul, what can I do.

Try to find someone who respects their familiars’ opinions like I do.

As I reinforced additional forces, confidence began to well up.

My fingers were also getting itchy.

I was curious how much power Tigris, a cavalry-type undead, would demonstrate in actual combat.

I’ve rested long enough at this point.

I immediately called President Baek.

―I was just thinking you’d contact me soon anyway.

“When can I start entering Gates?”

―It’s possible right away.

Our Boss.

Can he read my mind or something?

―I canceled several of the Gates we had won bids for.

“Isn’t there a penalty?”

―Given the recent troubles, the Rift Management Agency was understanding.

That’s fortunate.

The Gate conquests I had applied for extensively due to Mir Guild’s restraint.

Because we won the conquest competitions, the workload had increased tremendously.

Even after completing more than half, there were still over ten left, right?

It’s fortunate that the Rift Management Agency is being considerate of our situation.

―Which Gate would you like to conquer?

“Let’s go to the one that seems most difficult to conquer.”

―I’m not sure if this should be called good luck or not.

President Baek’s tone was peculiar.

What’s going on?

―We just won a bid for a Gate, but the difficulty is quite high.

“That works out well.”

A high-difficulty Gate.

It suited Tigris’s first combat debut.

How much power would an undead heavy cavalry demonstrate when charging?

Ehehehehe! I’ll trample them all.

―It’s a B-grade Gate, so I wonder if you’ll be alright.

Wait.

B-grade?

* * *

[Achil Zone Plains]

[Grade – B]

[Entry Restriction – B ~ C(15)]

This is the Gate we won the bid for from the Rift Management Agency this time.

Didn’t they say B-grade Gates that I can enter at my level rarely come up?

“I pulled some strings.”

President Baek said proudly, then made an “oops” expression.

“That’s not it. Are you really sure you’ll be okay?”

“I’ve rested sufficiently and recovered my forces.”

“Didn’t you lose many minions in the last battle?”

“I’ve become stronger than back then.”

It’s not empty words.

The Knight Order Members are all at full capacity.

Tigris, the undead heavy cavalry combining Armed Zombie Warrior and blood-drinking horse, has also joined.

My grade rising to C and the increased crafting efficiency is a bonus.

The enhancement effect of the Fragmented Soul Stone was added on top of that.

One flaw is that I couldn’t replenish magical forces.

“Hohoho. Just trust me.”

Since Ingrid accounts for over 80% of magical power, it should be fine.

“Oh right. There will be companions this time.”

If it’s about the Support Team friends, that’s nothing new.

President Baek shook his head left and right.

“They’re Hunters dispatched from the Rift Management Agency’s Inspection Department.”

“Huh. If they’re coming from there, there’s no need to give us the conquest contract, is there?”

“Didn’t Chinese Hunters intrude during the last conquest?”

A Gate with a maximum of ten people.

Hunters from the Rift Management Agency will enter together to prevent incidents like last time.

“They won’t help during hunting though?”

“Yes. I emphasized that they shouldn’t interfere, so you can rest assured.”

Of course you would emphasize that.

I thought I might take the bus, but I was wrong.

The first time meeting the support team since the Chinese Hunters’ attack.

“We’re sorry, big brother.”

“We couldn’t be of much help.”

“We’ll try harder too, bro!”

“We’ll endure even the intense training.”

Everyone’s fired up with determination.

【Hahaha. I like those eyes filled with resolve.】

“Good. I’ll teach you even more harshly.”

The two vassals also seem excited.

While we were exchanging light greetings, a Rift Bureau employee approached.

“Nice to meet you for the first time, Hunter Park Min-ho.”

“Ah. Yes. Nice to meet you.”

“I’m Lee Seong-won, supervising today’s hunt. Please take care of me.”

They said they wouldn’t help with Gate conquests though.

Well, I’m grateful that these busy people came out saying they’d protect me.

After briefly exchanging names, we entered the Blue Rift.

“Big brother, the residents of this Gate are said to be Trolls.”

“I heard from the Boss.”

“Since they have strong endurance and excellent regeneration, we need to take them down in one blow.”

The epitome of regenerative power.

Troll blood is said to have the effect of enhancing potion effectiveness.

Besides that, it’s traded at high prices due to its high utility as magic catalyst and such.

“Krooooo!”

Not very gentlemanly, I see.

Not long after entering the Gate, we encountered a Troll.

A 4-meter giant.

Its gray skin was bumpy like stone and looked extremely tough.

[Death Space]

Tigris suddenly emerged from the shadows.

“Trample it.”

“Groooo!”

Five Tigris charged straight forward with determination.

The Hunters dispatched from the Rift Bureau gasped in dismay.

“It’s dangerous to face a Troll head-on!”

“Its strength is comparable to A-rank monsters.”

“You might lose your summoned beings meaninglessly.”

Don’t worry too much.

Those guys.

They’re not that weak.

The moment the Tigris group collided with the Troll.

Bang!

Crash!

“Huh?”

Deflated sounds leaked from the mouths of the dispatched Hunters.
