Chapter 30

11. Non-polar (1)

Three days later, Thursday morning.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had been contacted by Lee Ji-hye the night before, left the house on time for the appointment.

Unexpectedly, the meeting place was Mt. Moral Dungeon.

Of course, it was not about meeting inside the dungeon, but about meeting outside.

‘Maybe he didn’t touch the inside of the dungeon.’

They look a little ugly, but the armored rhinoceros is not his blood and flesh, but money and experience. Lee Ji-hye wouldn’t be stupid enough to touch her. maybe.

Feeling the rancher’s feelings about the fenced ranch, Cha Shin Hyeon caught a taxi.

“To the entrance of Dodoksan Park.”

“Yeah, I see!”

Since it is quite a distance of over 10 kilometers, the foot of the driver stepping on the accelerator is light. The taxi departed quickly.

‘I have to get a license too.’

Looking out the window, Cha Shin Hyeon thought.

He has been through a lot of these and other things, so it feels like a long time ago, but he actually left Moorim less than two months ago.

In the past, adapting to the modern era was the top priority, so there was no need to roam far. Enemies outside of Seoul are about to go to the tutorial dungeon of Mt. Chiak.

Oh, Moral Mountain is also bright.

If you only travel in Seoul, you don’t need a car. Seoul’s public transportation is world-class.

So, the license was pushed back from the priority list, but it doesn’t seem bad to get it now. Just a few rounds of the Moroccan Dungeon will give you money to buy a car.

While I was thinking about various things, the taxi arrived at its destination just before 10 o’clock.

After returning the taxi, Cha Shin Hyeon happily flew away.

‘The time is right.’

Ogi came towards the park, but to get to the dungeon, you have to go over the mountain to get out.

Mt. Dodo wasn’t even a high mountain—even if it was high, the result would be the same— but Cha Shin Hyeon climbed over it in an instant.

The location of the dungeon was not thoroughly hidden like a military secret, but it was not widely known either. It is difficult to ask civilians to take them to the front of the dungeon entrance.

This was the reason why the Hunter had to have his own car.

As we crossed the mountain, we saw four buildings that were located in the middle of nowhere. As interest in rural life increases, mobile homes are gaining popularity.

The four houses form a square shape and are arranged at intervals of about 10 meters, and the inner ground surrounded by the houses is fenced like a zoo. What was surrounded by a fence was the entrance to the Mt. Moral Dungeon.

A silver-gray sedan I saw a few days ago was lying in the parking lot. The presence of the two can be felt in the building in front of them.

Cha Shin Hyeon chose the house and entered it.

“welcome.”

Lee Ji-hye greeted me.

Donghwan Oh, who had been sitting and resting for a long time, got up from his seat in a modest posture like an automatic doll when his guests arrived.

He guided Cha Shin Hyeon to the chair.

“Sit down.”

“thank you.”With a brief return, Cha Shin Hyeon took the chair.

Oh Dong-hwan was placed behind Lee Ji-hye on the right.

“Would you like some tea? I have something specially prepared for Cha Shin Hyeon.”

“okay? I wonder what it is.”

“Donghwan, please.”

“Yes.”

Donghwan Oh went to the kitchen to boil water. Even though the kitchen was just a small space with a sink in it.

Meanwhile, Cha Shin Hyeon looked around slowly from left to right.

“It’s my third time coming here, but it’s the first time I’ve been inside the building.”

“It would be. Unless you are a member of the Amuncho Guild, there will be no entry.”

“From the outside, it looked quite plausible, but…”

Cha Shin Hyeon put on a slightly disappointed look.

“When you step inside, it just feels cramped. It looked pretty good when it appeared on TV from time to time.”

“It’s a container that is loaded onto a truck and moved around. If it’s wider than this, can you fit it?”

Lee Ji-hye shrugged her shoulders.

“Still, it is enough to live alone or for two or three people to rest. It’s reasonably priced, and much quicker than building a house properly. It’s not like Hunters use it for nothing.”

“Hmm.”

There were only a few guild members in Hagi, but it was funny to compact the ground and raise the building. It would be a reasonable choice in its own way.

While we were talking, Donghwan Oh got into the car.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was in charge of the clean scent, stood out from his eyes.

“Gunsan Eunchim?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Lee Ji-hye was single.

– I thought you would recognize it right away. How many years have you lived in Moorim?

-It was one of my favorite cars. But why the sound?

– He doesn’t know that I’m a returnee. I don’t even know about martial arts. It’s better not to talk about things that you find strange.

Lee Ji-hye explained while looking at Oh Dong-hwan for a moment.

She silently nodded her head and Cha Shin Hyeon took a sip of tea.

-·······················································································?

It’s normal to have a warm smile, but his brow furrowed softly as if he couldn’t see it.

– The taste is a little strange.

The taste on the tip of the tongue is subtle. I thought and chewed the finest beef that melts in my mouth, but it feels like the meat is a little tough. However, it is too similar to say that it is not Gunsan Eunchim.

-Are you yawning?

– Because it’s the best!

Lee Ji-hye was furious.

– You get it directly from the farm.

– Then why does it taste like this?

– Moorim and Earth are different. The soil may be different, and it is natural that the farming methods are different. Wouldn’t it be strange if the tea tasted exactly the same?

Moorim is similar to, but different from, China of the past. This was a fact that I confirmed while scouring the Internet after returning to Earth.

Geographically, it could be said that it was China, but humanistically, there were many different aspects. Just as alternative historical novels use history but differ from reality, so did Moorim.

Therefore, Jihye Lee’s saying that Moorim and Earth are different made sense.

Even if all other conditions were the same, I wouldn’t plow the fields with a hoe and pick the leaves as carefully as before, so it’s understandable that the taste is different.

– Well, so is he. Anyway, thank you for your consideration, since you let me taste something similar.

Even the pseudo(?) Gunsan Eunchim is better than coffee. With that in mind, Cha Shin Hyeon savored the tea. Lee Ji-hye did not send any more notes and enjoyed the tea ceremony.

A peaceful silence passed between them.

“Once you get used to it, it’s fine.”

After half emptying the teacup, Cha Shin Hyeon spoke with her voice instead of full tone.

Lee Ji-hye received her words gracefully.

“That’s fortunate. Gunsan silver acupuncture that you will be able to encounter in the future has no higher quality than that. If you can’t accept the taste, it means that you are parting with a famous tea forever.”

“I’m glad my tongue isn’t that sensitive. Anyway, I guess I didn’t call it to show you the taste of Gunsan Eunchim.”

Cha Shin Hyeon put down the teacup.

“Are you saying that the conditions to present are ready?”

“Yes. Donghwan, would you mind leaving your seat for a moment?”

“Yes.”

Donghwan Oh followed the instructions without saying a word.

He bowed his head politely to the two of them and went outside.

As her door closed and her presence receded, Lee Ji-hye opened her mouth.

“First, let’s talk about the most basic and important money. Didn’t Cha Shin Hyeon say that he was going to join Yeomyeong?”

“right.”



“So Dawning is trying to provide you with some sort of dignified maintenance as a concept of her sponsor. She’s thinking about 10 billion a year.”

“… … 100 billion? Ten billion won?”

“Yes. Are you lacking?”

“No, it’s not like that…”

It is not difficult to find a famous sports star making tens of billions of dollars a year. In fact, Cha Shin Hyeon’s ability cannot be converted into money, and 10 billion is small compared to his infinite ability.

However, just because her abilities were infinite, did not mean that her uses were infinite.

Before going to Moorim, I was in the middle class. At Moorim, he never worried about money, but he never spent a lot of money. Because he was the type of person who preferred to practice rather than luxury and pleasure.

Until she returned to Earth, she was living on her sister’s money.

To such Cha Shin Hyeon, 10 billion won was a very, very large amount.

“Isn’t that enough to say that it’s a luxury expense, not a dignified maintenance fee? If you don’t, you might end up being tied down by the taste of money.”

“It would be great if Mr. Cha Shin Hyeon was a snob to the extent that he spent 10 billion won in one year and started asking for money again. It will be easier to control.”

Lee Ji-hye grunted.

“Anyway, don’t you have any problems with the donation part?””No problem.”

“all right. Because today is the 26th… … We will deposit by July 1st. Future donations will be deposited on July 1st of each year. Are you okay?”

“call.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had blown away his worries about money in the future, happily nodded his head.

He even showed a sense of using the new generation words he learned from the drama.

Lee Ji-hye, who made a note of the fixed matters, was her words.

“Then, secondly, it’s about owning the dungeon.”

“possession?”

“Yes. High-ranking hunters basically have one of their own dungeons. A dungeon with a risk of 2 or 3 lower than the appropriate level, which is usually enough to clear alone without too much difficulty.”

“Are you wearing another wallet?”

“… … It can be used for that purpose if you need a power supply, but usually it is used as a training center concept.”

Basically, it is a hunter to raise his level while fighting monsters, but that doesn’t mean that training is unnecessary.

In particular, in the case of a skill that has not been learned for a while, it was suicide to use it against a monster in an inexperienced state. It was necessary to practice alone.

The ‘dungeon lower than one’s level’ was a good training ground in that sense. If you deal with poor monsters, you won’t get hurt, and it’s okay if you fail to control your skills. There’s no one to get hurt and no one to break.

And when it comes to high-ranking hunters, there is one secret skill that you want to hide from others. The dungeon without eyes was the best practice ground for even practicing such a thing.

“There was such a thing. In fact, I think it would be useful to have at least one such place.”

“So, first of all, we are going to provide this dungeon, which has lost its owner, to Cha Shin Hyeon as a training ground. You can still level up here, right?”

“right.”

“The risk of this dungeon is 6, so please use it up to level 30 and return it to us after that. Then we will provide more advanced dungeons again.”

“Hmm, I think it’s fine.”

The purpose of the dungeon is twofold.

It is a place where you can level up and earn a stable income by harvesting monsters at the same time.

This was a dungeon where you could earn 50 million won a month, but if you get 10 billion won, you don’t have to worry about that (?) 5,000. Then it is only meaningful as a level-up location, and there was no reason to reject it if you changed it to a better dungeon after level 30.

“As long as you don’t tell me to lend it to you and take it back without a word.”

“I’m trying to build a relationship of trust, but I wouldn’t do it… … If you want to be sure, we can even transfer ownership of the dungeon to Cha Shin Hyeon. Then we can’t touch it.”

“Can you do that?”

“If you want, I will. I just need one procedure.”

As she continued to talk, Jihye drank her tea as if she was thirsty.

Mopping her lips, she continued her explanation.

“Under the current law, dungeons cannot be owned by individuals. Only officially registered guilds can become owners.”

“Well? High-ranking hunters say they own the dungeon?”

“All other high-ranking hunters belong to Dawn or Twilight. Although they are the real owners of the dungeon, on paper, Dawn or Twilight is the owner. But that’s not what Cha Shin Hyeon wants, is it?”

“Then it’s impossible, isn’t it?”

“Yes. As I said, private ownership is impossible.”

Lee Ji-hye gave a simple answer.

“So, if Cha Shin Hyeon creates a guild, it will be resolved.”
