Level 1 Player

Chapter 21 Players Association (2)

It wasn’t difficult to monitor the cubs.

Maybe it was because they hadn’t figured out the situation yet, and they were sitting together and waiting for the man.

‘What is the purpose?’

Hyunseong wondered why they had targeted him and why Shin Yoon-a came to him.

‘It’s not like I got a unique skill.’

Hyunseong is the only one who knows the existence of unique skills.

‘Is it because of the Seowoo Guild and the trio?’

The only organization that caused trouble with Hyunseong was the Seowoo Guild.

The contact with Shin Yoon-ah was only when the trio was dealt with.

‘How should I deal with it?’

If Seowoo Guild is the main culprit in this case, how should it be dealt with?

How should she respond if she asks Shin Yoona and she asks if she herself has handled her trio vote?

Her mind was complicated.

‘I have to be strong.’

She said that was the most important thing.

He also needed a place to become a shield until he became strong.

This danger came directly to you.

However, there was also the possibility that she would target her family rather than herself.

‘The Seowoo Guild won’t give up.’

The Seowoo Guild, realizing that her operation against herself had failed, may play tricks on his family.

‘Somehow, we have to find a solution.’

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t find a solution.

It seems like she has Shin Yoona a favor to her, but she says the opposite, that’s all.

She was more likely to ask Hyunseong to show her status window, as Shin Yoona knocked down her trio.

What if Hyunseong refuses?

Shin Yoona, who she now favors with her, was also likely to become an enemy.

‘The Players Association is not a trustworthy and just organization.’

Aside from stealing player’s personal information and location information, looking at what Shin Yoon-ah is doing now, it was never an organization that only did legitimate work.

‘Damn it.’

Her mind was complicated.

She thought that all problems would be solved with just the player.

It was because the player was the object of envy for Hyunseong, who was going back and forth between the nogada boards.

But even in the player’s world, there were classes.

After she became a player and acquired her unique skills, she became more dangerous.

“Have you been waiting long?”

Shin Yoon-ah’s voice was heard in Hyunseong’s troubled ears.

“no.”

“These guys received orders from the Seowoo Guild. You were asked to cripple Hyunseong. They probably tried to recruit Hyunseong later, pretending they didn’t know. Since we have cleverly identified the client’s identity and collected evidence, we can feed the Seowoo Guild with this incident.”

“is that so?”

As expected, the Seowoo Guild was behind it.

“Let’s go right away.”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong got up and went out of the dungeon.

The case was settled in an instant.

The players directly from the Players Association flocked to Shin Yoon-ah’s phone call from the goblin dungeon.

After that, players directly under the Players Association who entered the Goblin Dungeon dragged all those who attacked Hyunseong.

“Do you have a moment?”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong nodded.

* * *

The place where Shin Yoon-a took Hyunseong was the branch of the Players’ Association.

“Then why did you come to me?”

Hyunseong asked the question first.

“Because of the trio case.”

I did it anyway, but it was.

“How did you know I was in the goblin dungeon?”

“You have read the dungeon access log.”

Of course I thought it would.

“Isn’t that illegal?”

“no. The Players Association has the right to view the dungeon access records of its members at any time as needed.”

Guilds and associations were also different.

The guild finds out in an illegal way, but the association finds out in the official way.

“At the time of the triumvirate incident… … .”

Shin Yoona explained her investigation process step by step, she revealed, after which she moved to find the player who handled the trio.

“This time it was Choi Hyunseong’s turn. Since it was an unofficial investigation, I tried to sneak into the dungeon and figure out my skills before coming out. But an accident happened. We apologize once again for not intervening right away.”“You wanted to see my limits.”

At Hyunseong’s question, Shin Yoona nodded her head.

“Yes, I was convinced when I saw the skill I used on Jang Woo-hyun at the end. The fact that the person who killed the trio is Choi Hyunseong.”

“Is it a crime for me to hunt the trio and hide that fact?”

“Of course it is not a sin. I found Choi Hyunseong at the Players Association to give him a reward.”

“A reward?”

“Yes, it is a reasonable reward for handling the triplet. And I have one suggestion.”

“Is the offer a recruitment?”

“That’s right.”

It was as expected.

‘How can I refuse… … .’

You may be kind to yourself now, but the moment you say no, you may turn hostile.

In the state of having an enemy called Seou Guild, is it even with a national organization called the Players’ Association?

It was like a death sentence as a player.

But he had to.

“I have no intention of joining any organization.”

Hyunseong quietly expressed his refusal.

“I thought you would. But first, let’s hear the conditions. The down payment will be set at 100 billion won, which is the amount suggested to the Seowoo Guild. In addition, you can receive many benefits by becoming a player directly under the Players’ Association. From tax relief measures to free equipment rental… … .”

From Shin Yoon-ah’s mouth, the benefits for the players directly under the association flowed out one after another.

Hyunseong, who had been listening for a while, opened his mouth.

“Of course, this is a condition for opening the status window, right?”

“no. You only need to pass one test.”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong’s eyes widened.

“A test?”

“Yes, it is simple. All you need to do is to give an honest answer without lies in the presence of the person I designate.”

‘Are you an Inquisitor?’

Among the skills of the players, there are all kinds of skills.

Among them, there were skills that were not very helpful in battle, but rather helpful in modern society.

One of those skills is the contract of truth.

Players with this skill were highly effective enough to be selected as special agents by the police or prosecutors.

This is because, if you use the skill Contract of Truth, you can perfectly discriminate between the truth and lies of what the other person is saying.

If the skill target tells the truth, there is no change.

But if you tell a lie, a red light comes out of your body.

The common people called the players with the contract of truth skill the inquisitor.

“Why are you even trying to recruit me? To be honest, is it not possible to recruit high-level players under those conditions?”

Shin Yoona shook her head at Hyunseong’s question.

“A high level is also a high level. High-level players with really good skills cannot be recruited under these conditions. I don’t know if it’s just a joke with a high level and inferior skills.”

“Is it because of the 20-level rule?”

“I cannot deny that it is not.”

“I don’t know how to break the 20-level rule. If it turns out to be true, would you still hire me?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Shin Yoona’s eyes fluttered slightly.

But it was only for a while.

“of course. The fact that you have become this strong in three months alone is enough to make it worth investing 100 billion won.”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong quietly closed her eyes.

‘I know I’m special.’

I tried to hide the specialness by purchasing a space, but it was already too late.

The Seou Guild knows it, and the Players Association knows it.

If the information has spread to this extent, it must be assumed that other large guilds also know it.

‘I am alone.’

Individuals cannot withstand the pressure of large guilds.

If Hyunseong is overwhelmingly strong, she doesn’t have to worry.

Because neither the giant guild nor the player association can do anything about Hyunseong.

But it may not be in the distant future, but not now.

The current Hyunseong is weaker than the god Yoona who sits in front of her, let alone a giant guild, and Jang Woo-hyun, who was overpowered by such a god Yoona in one shot.

‘I need a shield.’

He needed a strong shield to protect himself and her family from threats from other guilds, including the Seowoo Guild.

Although the Players Association was a rotten organization, it was a national organization anyway.

It can be enough to become Hyunseong’s shield.

Player associations have public power.

The decision to grant or cancel the establishment of a guild is also made by the Players Association.

You can restrict access to the dungeon or arrest the player who caused the problem.

The Players Association is an organization that even has the authority to forcibly recruit players in times of national crisis.

It boasts the best power in Korea on a single scale and has an influence that even large guilds cannot recklessly.

If you become a player directly under the association, even a huge guild will not be able to do useless tricks.The down payment of 100 billion won and other benefits were also not bad.

Hyunseong opened his closed eyes.

“Have you made a decision?”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s question, Hyunseong nodded.

“Once we have an honest conversation, let’s try to negotiate again.”

“Great choice.”

* * *

“I will use the contract of truth skill. Do you agree?”

“Yes, I agree.”

“When the skill is cast, you will be prompted for consent. Just click Yes there. A contract of truth.”

The inquisitor cast a skill.

– The contract of truth skill has been cast. Will you accept the skill?

-[Yes No]

clicked yes

‘It’s embarrassing.’

At the same time as choosing Yes, the interrogator’s magic penetrated into Hyunseong’s body.

It was quite unpleasant to feel the magic of other people staying in his body.

As soon as the skill was applied, the interrogator went out of the room.

And Yoona Shin’s question began.

“Is it true that you woke up three months ago?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know how to break the 20th level rule?”

“no.”

“I know that players are around level 140. But why are you hunting in low-level dungeons?”

“… … .”

The questions kept coming.

‘It’s okay.’

The conversation with Shin Yoon-ah was surprisingly not that special.

Hyunseong just answered yes or no and it was all over.

She didn’t answer any vague questions at all.

“Do you have any unique skills?”

Then suddenly a sharp question came.

“You must answer this question.”

“Yes.”

Hyunseong answered briefly.

‘Do you know the unique skill?’

Hyunseong thought that the unique skill was only possessed by himself.

But that doesn’t seem to be it.

‘It won’t be a unique skill like mine.’

What if there was a person who had the unique skills ‘selling’ and ‘purchasing’ before Hyunseong?

Maybe he couldn’t get stronger as fast as he is now.

“Is the reason for hunting low-level monsters related to unique skills?”

“Yes.”

“Can you give your unique skill to another player?”

“no.”

Hyunseong’s unique skill was not something he could do without giving it to others.

“Did you use your unique skill to avoid the 20th level rule?”

At the moment when I thought that I should exercise my right to remain silent while listening to Yoona Shin’s question, the magic of the interrogator, who was slowly escaping, completely disappeared.

skill is over.

“Yes.”

A lie came out of her mouth naturally.

Since the contract of truth skill was over, she didn’t have to answer the truth.

“The skill is over.”

“Do I have to do it one more time?”

Shin Yoona shook her head at Hyunseong’s question.

“I don’t think you need to. She didn’t have any more questions to ask, and so far she’s been telling the truth. And she’s a rough guess, but she really has a unique skill set.”

Shin Yoona said with a bright smile.

Her tone and expression were subtly different from before.

From the beginning, Shin Yoon-a has maintained a hard and public attitude.

Although she smiled, she had a strong sense of publicity.

But she wasn’t now.

She was staring at Hyunseong with her eyes as she looked at the old man.

“Does Shin Yoon-ah have any unique skills?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Shin Yoona nodded her head as if it wasn’t something to hide.“Yes, I can’t tell you what skill it is, but I do have one.”

“I am not the only one who has a unique skill.”

Hyunseong said with a slightly disappointed expression.

“You don’t have to be disappointed. A unique skill is literally a unique skill that only one player has. And all the players with unique skills made it to the top.”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong was slightly surprised.

‘Everyone said they made it to the top?’

If so, isn’t that saying that Shin Yoon-a is also one of the top figures?

Hyunseong didn’t know much about Shin Yoon-ah.

She simply assumed that she was a member of the association and a high-level player.

But now that I see, she seems to be unique among high-level players.

“There are some restrictions on what information about players is available to the public,” she said. Just because you’re a high-level player doesn’t mean you know everything. In particular, information about players with unique skills is kept strictly confidential according to the National Security Act.”

“Is it okay if you talk to me like that?”

If the National Security Act comes out, isn’t it a top secret among top secrets?

“ Hyunseong also has unique skills. Well, in fact, no matter how much it is, in principle, I shouldn’t even reveal the fact that I have a unique skill. But it won’t be a big deal since we’ll be in the same association anyway.”

“Didn’t I tell you that I was going to be a member of the association?”

“Oh, what about this? From the moment you say whether you have a unique skill or not, it is as if the choice is gone.”

“What do you mean?”

Hyunseong asked with a firm expression on his face.

“You don’t have to be too sassy. It means scouting Choi Hyunseong at the national level, not the association. There is probably no organization in Korea that will offer more generous conditions than this.”

Shin Yoon-ah’s words were true.

She has a down payment of 400 billion won.

2 billion won per year.

Accommodation and vehicle provided.

Family security system provided.

Manastone sales revenue distribution 8: 2.

Item sales revenue share 10: 0.

Free rental of rare items.

Skillbooks and items can be purchased at duty-free.

Here’s to tax exemptions.

It included benefits that could never be granted if it was not at the national level.

There were no major obligations.

Working in the emergency standby group was generously overpaid.

If an incident occurs and it is sent to a rescue operation or a monster sweeping operation, an appropriate dispatch allowance will be paid additionally.

It also guarantees all rights to monster corpses, magic stones, items, etc. processed during the operation.

“Come on, sign it.”

Shin Yoona smiled and handed Hyunseong her pen.

In fact, it was a contract that could be said to be almost spread out.

Even if the Players Association signed such a contract and signed Hyunseong, I wondered if there would be anything left.

The only thing Hyunseong provides to the association is the distribution of magic stones, and even that, 20% is the association’s share, and Hyunseong’s share is 80%.

In fact, when tax exemptions are included, it was a contract in which Hyunseong had no choice but to benefit unconditionally.

However, if there was no provision.

-Contract period: life

– In case of breach of contract terms, 10 times the down payment will be paid as a penalty.

-In case of breach of contract terms, all benefits provided free of charge, including duty-free benefits, are calculated for a fee and collected.

A life contract, the so-called slave contract.

In fact, the conditions themselves are so good that the word “slave contract” fits easily.

As soon as he signs the contract, Hyunseong becomes an asset worth hundreds of billions of won.

The part that Hyunseong has to sacrifice financially is only 20% of the total magic stone profit.

The 20% was actually a gain, not a loss, considering the tax exemption benefits.

Working in emergency standby is also a good way to make money while resting.

There was no loss in the emergency response, as reasonable compensation was paid.

However… … .

‘It’s not forever.’

The contract period was too long.

Also, the terms of breach of contract were too vague.

The moment he accidentally violates any of his obligations, Hyunseong becomes a calf with a crotch.

“Aren’t all players directly affiliated with the association signing contracts under these conditions?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Shin Yoona nodded her head.

“of course. If everyone scouted in this way, no matter how much the player association was going to go bankrupt. The reason for presenting such excessive conditions is because of Choi Hyunseong’s unique skill.”

“Yes? My unique skill?”

Hyunseong asked with a puzzled expression.

“The rule of the 20th level is invalidated, right? Even if you catch a low-level monster, the level goes up and you get magic stones. You can literally level up indefinitely. It’s an opportunity to have players who are bound to be the best in the world, but it’s stupid to miss out on saving money.”

completely bummed out.

But it was misleading enough.

No, it was rather comfortable for Hyunseong if he misunderstood me like that.

‘It’s also true to some extent.’

Hyunseong can acquire points regardless of the 20-level rule.

In a way, the invalidation of the 20th level rule could be said to be one of the additional effects that come with Hyunseong’s unique skill, as he gets stronger using points.

“Can I change the contract term?”

“Do you like the period?”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s question, Hyunseong nodded.

“Do you know how many players around the world have unique skills?”

“I don’t know.”

I also found out today that there are other players with unique skills besides myself.

“I don’t know for sure, but the government’s judgment is that there are fewer than 80 people.”

80 people.

As a percentage of the population, it was 1 in 100 million.

The population of Korea is 50 million.

Considering the ratio, it is a situation where you should not even know the existence of your unique skill.

“Until Choi Hyunseong showed up, I was the only one with unique skills in Korea.”

‘It is very rare to have a unique skill.’

It may not be as good as Hyunseong’s unique skill, but the other unique skills also seemed to be incredibly special.

“There is no way that the unique skill holder you have just found can be taken away from another country or taken away by a private guild. So, the terms of the contract were drastically raised and the term was changed to life. Let me know if you want anything. I am willing to listen to you.”

“I want to change the contract period to one year instead of life.”

“You know it’s an impossible request, right?”

The Players Association was not a hogu, and there was no way they would listen.

“Instead, we will drastically reduce the down payment. I think giving 10 billion won, which is 1 in 40, would be enough.”

“It’s still the same.”

“Then how about two years?”

“I will raise the down payment more. So do it for the rest of your life.”

The two opinions were fiercely opposed.

One party wanted a life contract and the other wanted a short-term contract, so it was impossible to reach an agreement.

“Compulsory contract period of 2 years. Let’s make a $200 million contract. Instead, if there are no major problems with each other until the end of the contract in two years, the Players Association will be the top priority. If you reject this offer too, I would rather not sign a contract with the Players Association.”

Hyunseong issued an ultimatum.

“Are you thinking of asylum in another country?”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s question, Hyunseong shook her head.

“Is it possible? I just don’t know much about player associations and I hate being permanently subordinated.”

“As you can see from the conditions, there are more benefits than obligations, right?”

“Is that so?”

It’s an advantage right now.

But over time, things change.

Hundreds of billions of dollars?

For Hyunseong now, it’s a lot of money that it’s hard to imagine.

But will it be the same for the future Hyunseong?

It was very likely not.

I was blinded by the big money right in front of me, so I couldn’t get a mortgage for the future.

What Hyunseong needs is a shelter that will serve as a shield until he develops strength.

Of course, he can extend his contract and stay there if he likes it.

But he couldn’t sign a life contract without seeing it live.

“If the conditions are the same, I will unconditionally renew the contract with the association. There is nothing to lose as an association, right? Can’t you think of it as a two-year internship contract?”

“Hey, it looks like it will be an internship contract with G and E.”

Shin Yoona sighed and muttered.

Instead of interns looking at the company to renew the contract, the company started looking at the interns to renew the contract.

“Well, it’s not up to me to decide. I’ll report it to the superior first.”

“Anyway.”

Shin Yoon-ah, who had been away for a while, returned.

“I will listen. Instead, there are conditions.”

“What are the conditions?”

“It is a condition to open the conditions to the Korean Players Association unconditionally when a request for scouting is received from a player association or guild in another country. Also, under the same conditions, the contract with the Korea Players Association must be renewed unconditionally.”

“I will.”

Hyunseong politely agreed.

“Sign it.”

Shin Yoon-a presented the revised contract.

“Yes.”

Hyunseong signed the amended contract.

After sharing her contract with each other, Yoona Shin held out her right hand toward Hyunseong.

“I wish you all the best in the future.”

“of course. For a while, though.”Hyunseong and Shin Yoona smiled and shook hands.

“Since you signed the contract, you need to change the item first. Are all the equipment you are using now rental equipment?”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong shook her head.

“Swords and cloaks are rare.”

“Then it would be better to change everything except those two.”

“all right.”

“Let’s go exchange equipment with me first.”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong stood up.

Hyunseong arrived at the Players’ Association headquarters in Seoul with Shin Yoon-ah.

Then the shopping started.

‘There is really nothing missing.’

Rare-grade equipment that is likely to cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars was neatly displayed.

“Is it possible for everyone to be able to rent these equipment if they are directly under the association?”

“It is not. The rank of the item that can be rented is determined by the player’s rank. Oh, of course, Hyunseong is an exception.”

“i See.”

Hyunseong looked at the equipment slowly.

‘It’s not as good as I thought.’

I didn’t really like it because my eyes were raised thanks to the items I saw in the purchase window.

‘I have to choose moderately.’

Hyunseong chose equipment with good options.

“I think this should be enough.”

“Then let’s go. I have to mend it to fit Hyunseong’s body type.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll let you know how things go inside the Society while the equipment is being repaired. I will also tell you where Hyunseong’s agency was assigned.”

affiliation and assignment.

The fact that I had been tied to the Players Association for two years was clearly realized.

‘I have to pick mulberry for two years.’

I was thinking of actively using the shield and tax-free benefits that are directly under the Players Association.

“Where was my affiliation assigned?”

“The inspection team. Well, horses are the inspection team, but their main task is to resolve any accidents or disputes between players in the dungeon. There is a shortage of manpower, so the inspection team has to help the support team as well.”

“Can I do that? I don’t know if it’s a low-level dungeon, but even if it’s a medium-level dungeon, I think it’ll be difficult for me to solve the problem.”

“ Don’t worry, we will request to be dispatched considering Hyunseong’s current level.”

“all right.”

I roughly expected it to be.

“And since I am Hyunseong’s direct supervisor, if you encounter any difficulties while performing your duties, please tell me right away.”

“I will. Oh, can I tell you about the problem before the contract?”

“Say whatever you want.”

“The information on the amount of mana stones I hunted and the amount of sales was passed on to the Seo Guild. He even handed over my hunting position in the dungeon.”

“I will deal with that case together with this case. I will be able to set a solid example for the Seo-Woo Guild.”

“Aren’t you surprised? Did you know about the symbiotic relationship between the association staff and the giant guild?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Shin Yoona nodded her head.

“It’s old money. In my mind, I want to uproot it right away, but I can’t reach that point. I’ve touched it once before, but it was wiped out due to lack of evidence.”

Shin Yoon-ah was definitely special.

Even though Hyunseong signed a contract with the Players’ Association, it’s a two-year contract, not a life contract.

Rather than openly divulging about what could be called the arrogance of the Players Association, it was something he had to hide.

But Yoona Shin was honest.

She said that without hesitation, she confided in the details of the Players Association, which could adversely affect the extension of the contract in the future.

‘It’s definitely different.’

Until just a few days ago, Hyunseong thought the Players Association was completely rotten.

But it didn’t seem like the roots were all rotten.

“ I will also assign you a place for Hyunseong-san.”

“Ah, but it’s because I’m not the type to seriously hunt in a dungeon. There is no need for accommodation.”

“Um, okay? That’s a bit difficult… … .”

“Is it because of the emergency standby service?”

“that’s right. I need to organize a manpower, but it must be a bit difficult.”

Shin Yoona pondered for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“Please tell me the location of the dungeon you hunt every time. We will then assign a mission to the nearby Players Association branch. The hotel will give you a separate card. Pay for your accommodation with that.”

“Can I do that?”

“Of course not. Players who are directly affiliated with other associations will be upset that they will give you special treatment if they find out. So please keep it a secret. Officially, it will be dealt with with frequent change of work locations.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“If you look good like this, you will be able to renew your contract after two years.”

At Shin Yoon-ah’s words, Hyunseong gave an awkward smile.

Shin Yoon-a took Hyunseong with him and explained the composition and position of the association.

In the meantime, I received a call saying that the repair of the equipment had been completed.“That’s right.”

Hyunseong put on the new gear and said with a bright face.

I wore general-grade rental equipment that did not fit my body properly, and when I put on the rare-grade equipment that fit my body, I felt light as if I could fly away.

“Get this too.”

Shin Yoona presented one of her player registration cards.

“This will prove that Mr. Hyunseong is directly under the Players Association. He’s got the power to enforce and inspect, so he won’t have an unpleasant experience like before.”

It would be nice to have a background for sure.

Shin Yoona then ended her explanation after giving a few caveats.

“Can I go now?”

“Yeah, as long as you stick to the emergency standby hours, you shouldn’t have any major problems. Emergency calls are seldom triggered, so you don’t have to worry too much. But when an emergency call is triggered, you must answer it.”

“all right. Oh, but when will the down payment come in?”

“I’m already in. I had to make a deposit for the contract to take effect, so I rushed it. You must have something to spend money on.”

“Yes, I want to buy some skill books.”

“That’s a good idea. There is a skill book store inside the Players Association, so I will guide you.”

Hyunseong was guided by Shin Yoona and moved to her skill book store.

‘It’s important to be strong.’

With only the profits from hunting, Hyunseong and his family can live comfortably.

20 billion received as a down payment.

I was thinking of investing that money in purchasing the skillbook.

“It’s not as much as I thought.”

Hyunseong said with a sad expression on her face.

Most of the general grade skill books were for sale.

Rare grade skillbooks existed at the level of beans sprouting in drought, and hero grades were not for sale at all.

“The skill book is not something that comes up very often. The supply is short compared to the demand, so when a good skill book comes out, it goes on sale right away. Also, compared to the official auction house, the association’s skill book store is a bit smaller.”

“I’ll have to buy one even if I have one.”

Hyunseong immediately pressed the buy button.

‘It’s definitely good to have a tax exemption.’

The skill book was really cheap because it can be purchased without tax.

It felt like I was in a discount store with a half price sale.

Hyunseong bought all the skills he didn’t master.

“Is it okay to buy so much? It wouldn’t be very effective.”

A tank has stamina, a warrior has strength, an archer or assassin has agility, a wizard has magic power, and a healer has mental strength.

This is the most important stat for each position.

However, the stats are always insufficient, and of course, he has no choice but to invest a lot of stats in his main skill.

Considering the efficiency, it was beneficial to save money and purchase a higher-grade main skill than to purchase a non-mainstream skill in bulk.

“These are all useful skills.”

Hyunseong replied with a smile.

Efficiency was not a consideration for Hyunseong, whose all stats were at a similar level.

It’s because you can get the right effect no matter what skill book you buy.

“Actually, Hyunseong is not in a situation to save money. Still, it is good to consider the efficiency of active skills. Passive is automatic, so it’s not a waste, but there are many cases where the active skill is learned and not used a few times.”

“I will be careful. Thanks for the advice.”

Hyunseong bought quite a lot of skills.

However, since most of them were general-grade skills, he consumed less money than expected.

Hyunseong learned all of his purchased skillbooks on the spot.

“Are you done?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’m done with my job now.”

“Thank you for your kind explanation. Let’s just go in.”

“I’ll see you off. I have to show you the assigned vehicle anyway.”

“Oh, right.”

vehicle benefits.

I forgot.

Hyunseong came out of the player association with Shin Yoona.

What was assigned to Hyunseong was a large domestic sedan.

“It is covered by insurance, so you can think of it as your own car and drive it comfortably. If you would like to change to a private vehicle, please let us know in advance. When you return the vehicle, it is a small amount, but the vehicle subsidy goes out.”

“This car is good enough, well.”

Hyunseong smiled and took the car key.

“Then be careful.”

“Yes, see you next time.”

After saying hello, Hyunseong left the Players Association.

* * *

“No matter how you think about it, two years is too short.”

A middle-aged man with red hair like a blazing flame stroked his red beard and murmured.

“Do you feel sorry for not being able to sign a life contract?”Shin Yoon-ah asked with a piercing expression.

“Of course I am sorry. She should have been caught.”

“I thought I was going to hit him at a cheap price.”

“no it’s not!”

A middle-aged man shouted in a voice full of her resentment.

“Hey, even in the case of you, you raised the terms and conditions of the contract. What do we mean by a perpetual contract?”

“At first, it was cheap. If I hadn’t told you, I wouldn’t have raised the terms of the contract. Oh, I should have signed a fixed-term contract like Choi Hyunseong from the beginning.”

“Are you and Choi Hyunseong the same? It was the first time we were like you. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even have known there was such a thing as a unique skill.”

“So you should have done better.”

“You did good enough! Choi Hyunseong’s contract was also reflected in your opinion and gave a lot of concessions! If it wasn’t for you, I could have signed a life contract with a down payment of 100 billion won!”

“In that case, the information would have leaked out and it would have been stolen by the player associations of other countries or other guilds.”

“You threatened me! I’m going to leak the information to the player associations of other countries!”

“When did I do that? I said it was very likely.”

“Do I not know you?”

“If you know me so well, you know what I’m thinking right now, right?”

“I do not know.”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know, and please change me to a two-year contract.”

“That’s never going to happen. To be honest, if you hadn’t objected, I would have signed a life contract with Choi Hyunseong at any cost.”

“Villain.”

The middle-aged man’s expression was horribly distorted at Shin Yoon-ah’s poignant evaluation.

“Am I saying you like me? It’s all for the country. From the perspective of Choi Hyunseong, there is nothing wrong with signing a life contract with the association.”

“From a personal standpoint, it’s better not to do it.”

“Hey, what sin did I commit in my previous life to have something to do with that?”

“If you don’t want to be involved with something like that, please cancel the contract.”

“No.”

“Shit!”

Shin Yoona kicked her tongue and got up from her seat.

“Where?”

“Go to work.”

Shin Yoona left her association president’s office.

‘ Hyunseong doesn’t have to suffer like me.’

Shin Yoona also suffered a lot because of her contract problems during her middle and low-level days.

He didn’t want Choi Hyunseong, who can be said to be her direct junior, to follow the hardships he went through.

He didn’t want to be the kind of person whom he used to curse so much.

She, of course, had a tendency to be a little overly caring, even with that in mind.

But what can I do, something that I keep worrying about without even being conscious of it?

* * *

Hyunseong, who was out of the Players Association, once sent money to his mother.

For the next 10 years, he had to pay such a large sum that he would not have to worry about his father’s hospital bills.

After that, he headed to the official government auction house.

He was in order to purchase more skill books.

She also needed to purchase a large quantity of wound healing skillbooks, which she could only purchase one at a time because she was watching Shin Yoona.

‘You have to grow the Book of Immortality.’

If you buy and learn a lot of skill books related to wound healing, it will be of great help to your growth.

‘Let’s see how much we need to eat to grow.’

Even if there was a limit to pouring all the down payment, I was thinking of growing the book of immortality.

Upon arriving at the auction house, Hyunseong first looked at skill books related to wound healing.

‘uh?’

A skill book came into Hyunseong’s eyes.

Nature’s Resilience – Rare Rating

-Passive skill book

– Speeds up wound healing.

A fairly precious wound healing passive skill was up for auction.

Of course, the auction price was quite high.

‘You must buy it.’

Although the Book of Immortality is the only grade, it is a rare grade skill anyway.

Naturally, if you absorb an equivalent rare-grade skill, your growth will be accelerated.

‘It may not be absorbed, but it is a skill that is not bad to have anyway.’

Hyunseong immediately bid for the auction.

‘I’ll have to buy another one.’

Passive skills were unconditionally bid regardless of grade.

In the case of active skills, according to Yoona Shin’s advice, only rare-grade skills were bid.

‘Shall we do point shopping now?’

After finishing shopping in reality, Hyunseong opened a sales window.
