157

 

The situation that followed wasn’t much different.

 

Most converged between B and C grade.

 

When Shin In-seon, classified as an ordinary person, recorded a C grade, even the Association President personally came out to check the measuring device.

 

The observer seats, which had initially protested suspecting equipment malfunction, fell quiet at some point.

 

Even if it were an equipment error, they had no choice but to accept the fact that these people had already surpassed the standards of ‘porters’ as they knew them.

 

Unlike the observer seats, the atmosphere in the live chat was the complete opposite.

 

↳ Look at those citizen group faces turning sour lololol

 

↳ Wait, isn’t that person an ordinary doctor? How did they get C grade?

 

↳ If they’re a B-grade Hunter, why are they working as a porter?

 

↳ You got it backwards. How did a porter become a B-grade Hunter?

 

“This concludes the Association’s official measurement.”

 

The examiner declared the end with a bewildered expression.

 

↳ It’s a shame it’s already over.

 

↳ Measure Han Sang-in too! I want to see an S-grade Hunter swing a sword!

 

↳ Check this out, annihilating an orc legion is insane.

↳ Last year’s video can’t satisfy me anymore.

 

Just when it seemed like it was over, boxes covered with tents were brought onto the platform where the measuring stone had been lowered.

 

I slowly walked onto the platform and grabbed the microphone.

 

↳ ??? Looks like there’s something else?

 

↳ Is Han Sang-in going to show us some bare-handed strength demonstration?

 

“Now that the Association examination is over, we’d like to begin Ashin’s internal measurement.”

 

The tents on the platform were removed one by one.

 

What was inside wasn’t artifacts or weapons worth showing off on the live stream.

 

It wasn’t armor, nor was it another measuring device.

 

It was universal carts resembling yogurt carts, various supply equipment,

 

and an ogre’s corpse.

 

“Ashin is a guild that started with porters. Let me show you how a guild that took supply requests instead of dungeon raids became South Korea’s top guild.”

 

As soon as I finished speaking, the supply team moved.

 

It was a familiar motion.

 

They took out equipment from the universal cart and used laser butchering knives to separate the ogre’s corpse.

 

Broadcasting the butchering process without any filter was a considerable risk.

 

It was cruel in itself, and could violate broadcasting guidelines.

 

↳ Are they really butchering it?

 

↳ Isn’t this going to get cut?

 

↳ At least put a 19+ rating on it.

 

The real-time chat had a similar atmosphere.

 

But once the butchering began, such concerns cleanly disappeared.

 

↳ Wow, how can it be done so cleanly like that?

 

A single chat appeared in the chatroom that had stopped as if frozen.

 

The ogre corpse was instantly separated into by-products you’d see at a butcher shop or leather workshop, without a single drop of blood splattering.

 

It was a broadcast made possible by quickly moving past unpleasant scenes with laser butchering knives before anyone could notice.

 

There was also a small incident where the ogre’s wooden club fell in front of the observer seats.

 

↳ Of all places, it had to fall there lololol

 

↳ They did that on purpose.

 

↳ Look at Congressman Jeong Seong-ho’s face turning pale lololol

 

↳ Dude. It’s not even a monster, just a piece of wood the monster was holding, why are you so terrified lololol

 

With master-level skills already revealed, no viewer thought that was a mistake.

 

The ogre’s butchering was completed in an instant.

 

Neatly organized by-products.

 

↳ Wow… and they even separated the ogre blood separately, that’s insane?

 

There were some viewers with quite keen eyes.

 

Congressman Jeong Seong-ho and the citizen groups, now lacking the strength to say anything, just stared blankly at the platform.

 

But what I had prepared still had more to come.

 

A screen came down and a video began playing.

 

A desolate dungeon.

 

Two universal carts advancing while stirring up dust storms.

 

↳ Wow, seeing yogurt carts in a dungeon creates serious cognitive dissonance lol

 

Monster colonies appeared along the way, but no one was shaken.

 

The supply convoy charged into the colony without stopping.

 

The front trunk of the Universal Cart opened, and missile batteries emerged on both sides with mechanical sounds.

 

Arrows fired from the Armored Divine Machines devastated the colony and carved out a supply route.

 

The screen turned black after showing the successful emergency supply, with a single phrase appearing.

 

[Ashin, a perfect guild that respects and considers each other’s opinions.]

 

↳ lololol I thought B-rank porters would just fight, but they’re firing missiles lololol

 

↳ Respecting opinions. (while pulling out cannons)

 

↳ It’s not a supply guild, it’s a defense contractor guild…

 

↳ Is that really a supply vehicle? Isn’t that a surface-to-air missile?

 

↳ It did carry by-products. Anyway, it’s a supply vehicle.

 

The chat window went wild.

 

Though I don’t know why the Association President looked surprised too.

 

I mean, he’s the one who went to the Armored Divine Machine production factory with me…

 

I shook my head at that sight.

 

With a simple closing greeting, I dropped my final bombshell and made my exit.

 

The live screen turned black and music began playing.

 

↳ Isn’t it over?

 

↳ The music is too grand for exit music?

 

Viewers who thought it was over and were about to leave sat back down, sensing something unusual in the atmosphere.

 

And when they saw the text appearing over the black background, the chat window exploded like crazy.

 

↳ Crazy?

 

↳ Is this real?

 

↳ Wow, they did the fitness center live just to do this.

 

[Ashin Guild 2nd Guild Member Recruitment Notice]

 

***

 

The moment the recruitment notice was revealed, Ashin’s website crashed.

 

Screenshots of the job posting revealed during the live stream quickly spread across social media.

 

The fact that Ashin had posted an official recruitment notice after such a long time was newsworthy enough, but the preferred qualifications were a bit unusual.

 

↳ Hahahaha wait, are those really the preferential conditions?

 

↳ They call themselves a supply guild, but now they’re supplying rocket delivery too? lol

 

[Preferred Qualifications]

 

– Those with experience as yogurt salespeople.

 

– Those who have worked as delivery drivers or in logistics delivery.

 

– Those with great interest in Martial Arts training.

 

↳ Isn’t it because Ashin’s supply vehicles are yogurt carts?

 

↳ Wait, guys. I checked Ashin’s website, and they’re really hiring actual delivery drivers, not just Guild Members?

 

↳ Bullshit no

 

↳ I’m quitting my job to become a delivery driver.

 

↳ Quitting x, getting fired o

 

↳ What’s Martial Arts?

 

↳ Didn’t the Porters awaken by learning Martial Arts?

 

↳ If that were the case, China would be the world’s #1 Hunter nation.

 

The unique preferred qualifications were like pouring gasoline on a spark.

 

[Ashin Guild’s Unprecedented Recruitment Notice… But Why Delivery Drivers?]

 

[Quitting Company to Become Delivery Driver. Surge in Resignations.]

 

[‘Yogurt·Delivery Preferred’… Logistics Industry Stirring. Possibility of Cooperation with Ashin Guild?]

 

I chuckled while reading the article headlines.

 

“What do you think about the logistics industry stirring?”

 

I looked at the Association President sitting across from me.

 

He’ll soon become the unofficial manager of the logistics industry.

 

“Don’t make silly jokes. I’m only doing the merger and acquisition, while Elder Shin Yong-bok takes the management authority.”

 

“Still, you’ll be the largest shareholder until then.”

 

The Association President handed me a document.

 

“So are you really planning to recruit Guild Members?”

 

“I will recruit some. If I give Jin-woo any more administrative work, he might die from overwork. Though I plan to fill most positions with Four Devas Goblins.”

 

Since they had learned Hao Sect’s Martial Arts, it was necessary to expand the Four Devas Goblins’ range of activity into human society.

 

Disguising as objects was good, but to obtain more detailed information, they needed to operate as people.

 

So I planned this theatrical large-scale recruitment.

 

“Isn’t it too much for show?”

 

I smiled slightly at the Association President’s words.

 

“Hearing that from the pioneer of showmanship feels like a compliment.”

 

When acquiring and merging logistics companies, I planned to absorb countless delivery drivers and logistics systems as they were.

 

There was no need to deliberately harm truly fast delivery systems like dawn delivery and same-day delivery.

 

However, I decided to push that timeframe even further.

 

Instant delivery where you could receive items within 6 hours of purchase.

 

Of course, it was thanks to Golden Township’s power.

 

“Even if they’re not Guild Members, many people would be satisfied just getting hired as delivery drivers at partner companies.”

 

My real purpose from the beginning wasn’t to build a rocket delivery system.

 

The selected personnel might not know, but they would be provided with artifacts as part of their benefits.

 

Though they were artifacts that the Demon Cult goblins had shape-shifted into…

 

Delivery drivers travel nationwide 24 hours a day without rest.

 

And that could be built into an information network that operated day and night.

 

After the Yun Seo-won of the Holy Guild incident, I felt the need to establish some degree of surveillance system.

 

Moreover, since it was the artifact goblins doing the information work, the risk to the unknowing delivery drivers was minimal.

 

“Have you decided on a name?”

 

I slowly read through the documents.

 

“Asin Logistics would be good.”
