I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 509

◈ 509. [Side Story] The art of negotiation (not)

A few days later.

Dungeon District 8 Grand Theater.

Legion Commander White Night – I met this Jiangshi Richie, whom I decided to call ‘Black Night’ on the monster front, and sat down in a chair to make my request.

“Coming to think of it, I think the sincerity you showed me was a bit lacking.”

《… What?”

The dark night raised a voice that sounded like it was absurd. But I calmly dug my ears with my little finger.

“No, this side would have to risk the lives of an entire army to catch another one of you who is sitting in the tower over there, but if you just slay an army of rogue birds and back down. huh? I guess this one is also a bit out of balance… … .”

“Suji doesn’t fit… you said If you get rid of another me, after that, I and my men will become your allies… … .》

“No look! Mister Grand Emperor!”

bang!

When I suddenly hit the table in front of me with my hand, Dark Night shrank in surprise.

Among the monsters under the command of the Demon King, I can assure you that I will be the first to treat the strongest magician, the Great Emperor of Magic, in such a carefree manner. I just can’t get used to it

I frowned, scratched my voice, and pointed with my finger.

“To put it bluntly, we don’t have a strong relationship to trust and do business until the end, right? To be honest! There is no such trust between us yet. right? uh?”

“Then what is it? What are you asking for?”

“Please show me a little more sincerity.”

I smiled and stretched out my hands in front of me.

“So that this side can believe in you more and risk its life for you.”

《… .》

“Aren’t we going to be friends with each other later on anyway? No, what is an ally? no no! not an ally A clan that can risk their lives for each other! Aren’t we supposed to be blood allies?”

I naturally went to the seat next to Dark Night and put my arm around her shoulder and put my arm around her shoulder.

The sudden change in my attitude made Dark Night unable to come to its senses. I kept pushing.

“It will be like family blood, but before that, let’s go through a few more stages of confirmation.”

《… Don’t go round and round, tell me. What exactly are you

asking for? ”

The Wasp Corps is one of the monsters that have not invaded the monster front yet, but it is difficult to deal with later.

I grinned at the mention of them.

“Get rid of them too.”

“what? Hey, this side has done enough to stand out just by getting rid of the monster army. If I move further, the Demon King might keep an eye on me… … .》

“No, that’s your situation~”

I loosened my arms as if I had never worn a shoulder strap, then stepped back and dug my ears again.

“They said something about rebelling against the demon lord, but you only care about things like this? Monsters always kill each other anyway, don’t they?”

“I’m number 3 in the ranking! The exercise of my skills is bound to attract attention! At least these days, the demon king is focusing on his own business and doesn’t pay attention to the outside world, but if I keep moving like this… … .”

“Ah~ okay, okay. I can’t do this, right?”

I cut off Dark Night’s words and waved my hand.

“Then it can’t be helped. okay. Let’s make it happen.”

“Let’s do something that didn’t exist… No way our deal?”

“No, when did I say that? Just let my offer go. Well, I guess I’ll have to rethink our deal… … .”

I muttered and got up from my seat.

snap!

Dark Night urgently grabbed my sleeve.

《Wait!》

“Uh huh. let go i am a busy person If you don’t have any more sincerity to show, let me go quickly. Because I have a lot to think about.”

The black night gnawed at his teeth. I reluctantly exhaled it.

《… I’ll do it. you can do it Eliminating the wasp army, right?》

“Now I can talk a little bit.”

I smiled. Although the face above the nose was not visible due to the amulet covered by the dark night, it seemed to be quite heated.

But what if you get hot?

Won’t you listen to me? huh?

‘Following the extermination of monsters, extermination of pests. It’s a black night seed that’s used sparingly.’

In front of me calling for pleasure inside, the black night slowly chewed and spat it out.

“I hope you do the job of killing another me properly. … If I fail, I will pay more terribly for treating me like this.”

“Oh, really. don’t you believe me what am i?! All of you nightmare corps commanders from the 10th to the 4th are jojin people. Believe me. I’m done! take responsibility! I’ll fuck you up again!”

I waved my arms overly, showing off my chest. The dark night was watching me like that.

***

The next place I stopped by was the Dungeon District 8 Magic Tower.

White Night, the master of the Magic Tower whose consciousness was transferred to a mechanical device – In the Monster Frontline, I met this robot lich, whom I decided to call ‘Soya’, and I made an additional request, just like I did to Dark Night.

《To clean the dungeons in District 8… … ? What are you talking about?”

The skeleton inside the magic panel monitor was puzzled. The shiny round hair looks like a well-cooked sausage.

I chinned.

“I know you have taken control of all the dungeons. Didn’t you infiltrate the control system of this mage tower?”

“How can you not… … No, even if you know, that’s an unreasonable demand.”

Soya shook her head slightly on the screen.

“In case another me attacks. Currently, all the power of the Mage Tower is being used to defend the Mage Tower. But if I extend my influence to other places around me, the Mage Tower’s defense will weaken.”

“So? Won’t you listen?”

《It’s not that I won’t listen, but after getting rid of the other me, I don’t need to focus on defending the Magic Tower, so naturally exerting influence on the surroundings… … .》

“I need your influence right now… Awesome. okay.”

I waved my hands and stood up.

“Then it can’t be helped. okay. Let’s make it happen.”

“Let’s do something that didn’t exist… No way our deal?”

“No, when did I say that? Just let my offer go. Well, I guess I’ll have to rethink our deal… … .”

I repeated what I said to Heukya without making a single mistake, but Soya showed the same reaction.

“for a moment! … okay. do as you say I’ll organize the three surrounding dungeons and hand them over to you.

”

The skeleton in the screen stared at me openly calling for joy.

“Don’t forget to kill another me instead. I have already cooperated with you enough. Don’t forget that fact too.》

“Well then. can you forget We are already blood oaths, blood oaths!”

I went to the side of Soya’s mechanism and hit the main body with my hand. Soya was startled, but he didn’t pay much attention.

After leaving the Mage Tower, the party members were waiting at the entrance of the Mage Tower.

As I smiled and walked out, Evangeline covered her mouth and asked.

“So how did it go?”

“That’s a success!”

When I answered with a shrug, the rest of the party opened their mouths in amazement.

“Wow, you’re ripping off a monster… .”

“Which one is the real monster… .”

“Uh huh. it’s a scam Call it the art of negotiation.”

Whether it’s black night or shooting, I need me to kill each other.

The time limit is about a month before the next defense, Stage 25, begins.

Until this time, I either attack Soya’s tower or defeat Black Night on the day of the defense battle. One of the two ends in a decision.

In other words, until then, they both have to crawl on me.

The first principle of negotiation.

The more desperate side has no choice but to bow down. The more scared side has no choice but to back down. So, I decided to just drop my boat and leave.

You could call it a kind of ‘Madman Theory’ where you deliberately act like a madman and get out of the way.

“Today is just the beginning.”

I raised a smirk evilly and glared at the two sections of the dungeon where the two liches were located.

“Take a good look. How far will I suck those two forward?”

***

Since the other side has shown enough sincerity, this side will pay back with an even bigger blow.

That’s what it means – to ask for more sincerity!

Get one, ask for another!

It is a voice phishing method that was popular in Korea in the 21st century.

– Yes customer. You saw the product page and inquired. you’re right. It is a product with a regular price of 1 million won, but we have to empty the company warehouse, so we are currently selling it at 800,000 won.

– Currently, there are only two products left in the headquarters warehouse. If you deposit 100,000 won as a deposit to this account, we can confirm your reservation.

– Yes, the customer’s reservation payment has been confirmed and the product has been confirmed. Could you please deposit the balance of 700,000 won? yes sure As soon as payment is confirmed, we will ship the next day.

– Oh, I’m really sorry, customer. When we checked the warehouse again, the product we thought was there was already out of stock. We will refund you immediately.

– I want to refund the customer, but the company system has to process it as a refund by direct debit withdrawal, so I need to fill the total amount of 1.5 million won. So, if you make an additional deposit, the refund will be made at midnight today… … .

– I’m really sorry, sir. Due to an error on the bank side, I need a total of 300 for the current direct debit withdrawal refund… … .

– Increased to 500… … .

– Did you receive the apology call from our boss? yes i’m really sorry If you deposit 10 million more… … .

– … .

– Well done, Hogang!

… Well, it’s a voice phishing strategy that proceeds step by step with this process.

Has anyone been fooled by this?

Surprisingly there is! Just like the magic masters right in front of you!

If you take a step back, it’s easy to notice that the other person is cheating, but in reality, it’s surprisingly not so.

Most of all, the complacent mind of ‘I can’t believe I’m being scammed’ makes me unaware that I’m being scammed.

‘Could it be that I, the great emperor of magic, am being fooled by a human like this?’

This unconsciousness slows down the grasp of reality. The reality that you are stepping into the mire of fraud… … !

“what? I already got rid of the wasp corps as you requested. But again?”

“You want me to defeat the immortal boar army this time?! Hey Player! The army I killed as you requested is already four! But are you making such a request again?!”

“Do it in moderation! If this happens, the entire army of monsters and I will have to fight before even rebelling against the demon lord! What are you thinking… … no hey! sit down! I didn’t say you wouldn’t listen! Don’t go!”

I used the darkness to intercept the troop of troublesome monsters in advance and

< I cleaned ten dungeons in the area as you requested. All you have to do is go and clean up and collect your reward... ... what? Any other equipment left in the Mage Tower? uh... wait for a sec. I’ll look for it.” “Would you like more items... You already took all the equipment items stocked up here in the Magic Tower. I have nothing more to give... ... what? A consumable item stored in a warehouse? That far?] 《Magic Research Scroll? I have some leftovers, but I'm going to take them and use them... ... ?” “Wait a minute! It's hard to take that far! Are there difficulties in the operation of the magic tower itself? no i won't! I'm going to give it to you, but let's talk for a moment... ... !] Clear a dungeon for free using Soya. In addition, I have been scratching the equipment, items, and various scrolls. Do it. give me more give it all Oh just 'give'! 《I can't stand it anymore, player!》 Unable to bear it, the dark night summons a giant eyeball in the air and 《How far are you going to play with me... ... ! If you come out like this, I have no choice but to cancel the contract!] Soya activated the magic tower's defense device and aimed at my neck. "no? Don't hate me~" I calmly dug my ears. "What are you doing? kill me now In the next few days, I will kill you again. What if I kill you before then? Then you know that everything you've done is in vain, right?" 《Kuh... !” “Yeah~ Kill it~ Your wish will be gone and I will die as well~” As soon as they came out like this, both Black Night and Soya had no choice but to step back. Even if it's because the things I've done and the investments I've made are a waste. I can't help it now. It has become a situation where I am led. 'You must be completely out of your mind to be roasted by the earth-style gaslighting scam, right? uh?' The monster corps are being organized one by one. And looking at the dungeons in District 8 that were cleared on their own and the items piled up, I patted my stomach even if I didn't eat. shit. “But my lord.” Lucas, who was checking the criminal records accumulated in a matter of weeks, pointed out sharply. “This method is certainly useful, but... Aren’t you close to getting rid of either black night or shooting night?” "yes." It's like extreme pampering. It's just eating using these two to the limit. In the end, the essential problem of the current situation - how to get rid of this powerful lich archmage, the answer to the question is not different. That's why they prepared separately while they were having a good time playing with each other like this. “Call the gamble club.” Calling the gamblers party for the first time in a while, I grinned. “Time to move the Joker card.”
