Korea in the world (2)

    "I just came to see the boss."

    "Yes, this is our boss."

    As much as Son Jin-woo''s embarrassment, Han Dong-soo''s embarrassment grew as well.

    "Great."

    "Nyaaaah."

    The cat, which had been hanging out in the warm sun, stretched its legs out.

    "What''s going on?"

    "Huh."

    He looked like a cat, but he didn''t get used to it when he spit human words. Son Jin-Woo revealed his purpose in the appearance of being full of annoyance.

    "Thank you for saving me. I''m here to say thank you."

    swish, swish.

    Suho, who turned into a cat, wags his tail softly.

    "It''s not free, but what thanks."

    "Ugh."

    "Go and see."

    As if annoying, the cat laid its head back on the floor.

    "Nyaaaah."

    Stretching out for a long time seemed like a pleasant way to sunbathe.

    "Then let''s go."

    "Oh, yep."

    "I pray for the endless development of the Guardian Guild."

    Even though the formal greeting and handshake, Dong-soo was nervous and received it.

    ''I shook hands with Son Jin-woo!''

    Even if it''s not the story of his life with a star on his shoulder by repeating special promotions, his sacrificial spirit and patriotism are recognized by everyone.

    I respect you.

    A representative awakening person in the Republic of Korea who healed the loss of Lee Seong-woo, and a true soldier who chose honor rather than money.

    Dongsu''s tension stems from respect for soldiers who have served the people for a long time, and longing for an idol that everyone has at least once.

    brother.

    "Nah."

    Sigh.

    Of course, Park Soo-ho, who is now transformed into a cat in front of him, is a greater person than Lee Seong-woo.

    A person who suddenly appeared, ignored all awakening grades, and suddenly became a champion, and lifted the dark cloud of threats that the world had not yet resolved in Korea.

    "Brother, I think the side effects were severe. Please change quickly."

    "Nah, are you bothered?"

    Sigh.

    You can''t beat it just because it looks like a tiny cat.

    That little cat''s claw could cut his throat.

    "Are you there, Mr. Park?"

    Dong-soo shook his head at the regular visitors for the second day.

    "Yes, there you are."

    "Hey! cute.

    Hong Se-hee came closer and hugged Suho, who had turned into a cat.

    "Nyaan!"

    Suho jumped at the sudden hug.

    Papa.

    On the cat''s body, yellow, white, black, and all other colors were intertwined to form a cluster.

    "Nyaaaah."

    "Meow."

    "Ha ha ha."

    "Yaah."

    21 howling cats.

    One person sitting blankly and shaking his head.

    "Ugh. It was so annoying that I almost slept for 3 nights and 4 days."

    ''Transformation 2'', a skill that can combine the characteristics of various animals.

    For the experiment, Suho borrowed the power of several animals of the same species. If they experimented with wolves, they were afraid they would take the initiative, so I purposely searched for a low-level group.

    Five hours ago, I found a group of stray cats of level 1 to 3, tamed them all and transformed them all at once.

    I experienced the extremes of indolence and annoyance.

    "Uh, why are you here?"

    "Brother, you decided to stop talking."

    uh. I''m still dizzy Why did you come?

    It''s hard to just say it''s good, but in the Transformation 2 skill, it was difficult to control the mixed ego. If I made a mistake, I almost lost the initiative even though I borrowed several low-level beasts'' powers.

    When it transformed into a union of 21 cats and 1 human, its appearance became almost that of a cat rather than a half-human and half-human.

    It seemed like it would be a fun skill to try out various combinations if you were careful about the dizzying situation like just before.

    Hong Se-hee said with a regretful taste again.

    "I must return to the guild now."

    "Yeah, go."

    "Chi."

    Why?

    "Will you accept me if I come to that guardian guild?"

    Of course.

    " ."

    Hong Se-hee clenched her fists at Suho''s cool answer.

    ''My brother allowed it.''

    As the representative awakener and executive officer of the KH Guild, he cannot easily leave his body, but once he received permission.

    I know. I''m here to say goodbye.

    "Yeah, see you next time."

    "Yes, see you soon."

    Hong Se-hee left, and Su-ho bought a bottle of water from the achievement shop and drank it. My dizzy head feels a little refreshed.

    Dongsoo, who had his mouth wide open until then, opened his mouth.

    "Wow, that''s Hong Se-hee, right?"

    "Oh, that''s right. Why?

    "No, it''s very different from the broadcast image, isn''t it?"

    Hong Se-hee, who frequently appeared on TV shows because of her S-class skills and outstanding looks.

    Like her nickname, the iron-clad woman, the cold and arrogant image went nowhere.

    I was confused which one was her real personality.

    "What does that matter? But why are you here?"

    "You were helping your brother with an experiment."

    "Ah, right."

    Called to record the progress of the experiment.

    Because Dong-soo can leave a video just by watching. The experiment of the Transformation 2 skill was enough.

    "Let''s go to the DMZ after a long time."

    Yes? now?"

    okay. You''ve only seen part of it last time.

    The demilitarized zone is wide.

    It is not necessary to tame all the beasts, but I wanted to have a variety of friends. There were predators that formed a territory in each valley and every winding mountain.

    I wanted to diversify the species and increase the options for Transformation 2 even more.

    "Are you ready?"

    "What preparations do you need?"

    No waiting for the car.

    Suho was changed to a giant eagle by imitation.

    "What?"

    Hook-like claws grabbed Dong-soo and leapt with powerful flapping of his wings.

    *"Chief. This is the construction progress report."

    "Chief Kim has a lot of trouble."

    The director praised Kim Mi-so and read the report.

    The layout of the main buildings and the progress were described on the map containing the appearance of the guardian guild.

    As the head of the returnee management team, his main job was to keep up with the trends of all returnees in Korea, but recently he seems to have gone all-in to support Park Soo-ho.

    "Um, so, isn''t it time for team leader Kim to be promoted?"

    Yes? Promotion?"

    "Heh, what are you surprised about? It''s just right for the newly established District 13 branch, so shouldn''t there be a branch manager who does a good job?

    Where is District 13?

    This is a city that will be newly formed around the guardian guild.

    In the end, it was the same role as Park Soo-ho''s current role in interim coordination in order to identify trends and maintain close relations.

    good. I take it."

    "As expected, Team Leader Kim is cool. Should I call you the branch manager now? haha.

    Anyway, promotion is promotion.

    That''s basically what the administration does.

    private military enterprise. Watching the guilds, asking for cooperation, and helping each other defend the city well.

    It is still only a field, but if the guardian guild is properly established, citizens will flock to this area.

    There is a monster that can destroy a 7-star dungeon in just 3 minutes, so it''s a matter of thinking about which district in Seoul is the safest.

    "It''s going to start on the ground, but it''s going to be fun."

    Occupy a wide field and make it a city.

    It''s the Awakened Management Bureau''s Reserve Area 13 branch, which will play a key role.

    "You were here."

    "Hey, General Son."

    When the director and Kim Mi-so saw Jin-woo Son, they were warmly welcomed.

    "Okay, are you okay?"

    "Thanks to you, I am alive. I heard you asked the Guardian Guild directly. Thank you.

    "Ouch, what did I do?"

    "I will compensate all the damage caused by me."

    Well? It''s a penny compared to what you''re worth.

    3.3 billion per episode, 76 attacks.

    2508 billion was spent.

    With that money, he saved 5 S-class Awoken, including Son Jin-woo, and 16 A-class Awoken.

    Considering the cost of their lives and what they will do for the country in the future, it was a cheap price.

    Out of the 50 trillion-won defense budget, it was really cheap to achieve this level of achievement with just 250 billion won.

    "How would you like some money? It would be over 1 trillion... ."

    Huh? How do you calculate it?"

    "Didn''t you preserve all the profits you would get from the dungeon?"

    Son Jin-woo and the director are puzzled, but Kim Mi-so solved their lack of communication in the middle.

    "The settlement amount for this advance team is 32 billion won."

    Yes? So many?"

    "The information analysis team is analyzing the attack video, and the space alone is 10 times more than that of a 6-star dungeon."

    If you simply think about it, the map is 10 times bigger, so you can earn 10 times more monsters and 10 times more bloodstone.

    "Heh heh, Park Soo-ho, this friend hehe."

    Didn''t you get only a tenth of the profits you get from 7-star dungeons?

    Son Jin-woo clenched his teeth.

    ''I am definitely in debt.''

    It was enough to pay tribute to his overwhelming fighting power, but his motives could not be said to be pure.

    Didn''t Park Soo-ho admit it to himself?

    The price is 10 times different, but can you say that you paid the price? It was given after receiving minimal effort and expenses.

    ''Park Soo-ho.''

    When claiming ownership of the 7-star dungeon, I thought he was a mercenary who didn''t care about the national security.

    ''I''ll have to apologize properly next time.''

    Son Jin-woo and the 77th Special Forces, who had a glimpse of the director, saluted toward the forest where the yawning cat was lying before leaving.

    ''The life I got as a spare.''

    I will pay this debt by saving others.

    "Where shall we go, Captain?"

    The 77th Commando Squadron has almost freedom of operation when it comes to attacking dungeons. Son Jin-woo pointed out the small towns most vulnerable to the rapidly increasing 6-star dungeon.

    "I''m going to Andong."

    Bourneung.

    Military trucks of the 77th Special Forces left the Guardian Guild in a line. Reporters waiting in the field captured their appearance on camera.

    "Everyone withdrew, but what is the guardian guild doing?"

    "Seoul is in uproar, isn''t it?"

    "Would you like to see some pressure knights?"

    "Hey, Arthur. Park Soo-ho is now a national hero. I just touched it and it hit me back."

    "Sheesh, you don''t know that with strong power comes great responsibility."

    "Reporter Kim. Don''t provoke me with nonsense."

    Guilds in Seoul were struggling due to the sudden surge of dungeons. In the eyes of the reporters, it seemed that Park Soo-ho, who was capable, did not move simply because it was not under his jurisdiction.

    If you have the ability to clear a 7-star dungeon in 3 minutes, wouldn''t it be able to quickly annihilate an urgent 6-star dungeon?

    "Aww, you should also learn to be humble when you are doing well. Isn''t this too high of a nose?

    "It''s all a while."

    "It''s too much to do. Where can you find such a closed guild? Journalists should be treated appropriately."

    "What should I do? Let''s wait a little bit.

    It''s not just the journalists who are ostracized.

    I just don''t like all the outsiders swarming around.

    He hated seeing unauthorized people sneaking around in his territory.

    Whatever the hospitality, it was the center of a topic that was receiving national attention, so the enthusiasm for the coverage was hot, and 90% of the vehicles roaming around the guild were journalists.

    Mansu Kang, who was expelled, was one of them.

    Kang Man-soo, who turned on his laptop and looked at foreign news articles, rubbed his eyes.

    uh?

    I thought I translated it wrong, so I searched the dictionary to find the meaning, but the interpretation was correct.

    Elder.

    Why?

    "Russians say they use nukes again?"

    Huh? where are you?

    Kang Man-soo answered with a shaky face.

    "Manju."

    where?

    "Manju. Thousands."

    "Isn''t that under Chinese jurisdiction?"

    One of the seven divided China to be exact.

    It was Manchukuo territory.

    right.

    "Is that all?"

    Yes?

    "Are you just translating? Find another source."

    Russia would not have foretold the use of nuclear weapons for no reason. Even in other countries.

    Kang Man-soo and a senior reporter started searching for articles from Russia and Manchuria with interesting faces.

    "Wow, there isn''t a country that doesn''t have a bad mood right now."

    The more I dug the foreign news articles, the more serious the atmosphere was felt. 7-star dungeons, 6-star dungeons that have increased dramatically, and dungeons with lower grades.

    Some countries that could not afford it have already collapsed.

    In Japan, where Lee Seong-woo disappeared, where did the initial confidence go, all national capabilities are concentrating on the disappearance of the Sapporo Dungeon.

    While the world was in turmoil, only Korea was spending quiet days. Kang Man-soo had an ominous feeling that this stillness was like a harbinger of a typhoon.
