I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 206
Episode 4
“Before we start, I want to make sure. “What kind of special training exactly are you talking about?”
“Why do you look so anxious? A special lesson in what you need most right now. “I will teach you all the techniques you can use at that conference hall.”
Ban Seo-jin even winked and spoke cheerfully, but I only became more and more anxious.
Surely you’re not telling me to go and kill all the leaders there?
The conference hall became a sea of blood.
The reporters were astonished.
And I got dizzy when I imagined that scene being broadcast live.
And I am isolated from my mother. I’m also cut off from my friends.
“What are you thinking about when your face turns so pale?”
“Murder is not allowed. A moderate, non-violent method…”
“Look at this guy. Do I look like a crazy person who just kills people?”
Yes.
I could barely swallow this one word that was rushing out of my throat.
But Ban Seo-jin grinned crookedly, as if he had already read the answer in my expression.
Still, he didn’t seem angry.
“I’m going to teach you about acting. You are here now.” “What would you do if I let you into that conference room?”
“What are you doing?”
“With that calm face, you say things like, ‘Everyone gets along well over there,’ and you hear all kinds of harsh words, and eventually Seo Ji-han next to you explodes and cuts everyone off. You want to avoid that kind of tragedy, right?”
“Yes, yes. Yes!”
I can imagine it so well.
It’s me who says, ‘These people are so annoying!’ It might end up like that, but Seo Ji-han probably won’t.
Ah, anyway, this isn’t important right now.
“So, let’s practice. Speaking evilly!”
“Evil…”
Despite my shocked reaction, Ban Seo-jin began talking passionately about what would happen in the future.
“I’ll teach you how to take control so you can win even if the whole world calls you trash!”
“Oh no, not to that extent….”
“Act skillfully, like someone who has been fighting public opinion for 30 years!”
“Look, I haven’t lived for 30 years yet. And Seojin Ban hasn’t lived for 30 years either.”
“You subtly contradict everything. It seems like you don’t need special training. Okay, if you don’t like it, just quit.”
“yes?”
I was momentarily taken aback when Ban Seo-jin, who had been pushing me, suddenly changed his attitude and tried to back out.
This guy is really good at pushing and pulling.
Oh well, what can I do?
I can’t trust him, but his way of getting out is quite amazing
…. “Moa. I’ll help you practice too.”
“Sister! I’ll help you too. Your sister needs help and I can’t be left out!”
While I was hesitating, I don’t know why, but Seo Ji-han and Yoo Eun-dam also participated in this project.
But Eun-dam, you were making an expression that said ‘It would be fun’ so blatantly.
In the end, I couldn’t refuse their enthusiasm and ended up nodding.
This part . Just by looking at it, you can tell that I need special training.
Still, it wasn’t a bad thing.
They knew their personalities objectively better than I thought.
That’s how I learned three things to successfully break into the international conference where dungeon ownership was negotiated. Special lectures were set up:
Seo Ji-han’s training on getting rid of scum,
Ban Seo-jin’s training on how to look like a murderous maniac with a grin
on his face, Yoo Eun-dam’s training on how to pretend to be polite
, and by evening, even Ban Seo-hu, who heard the news, joined in, increasing the number of instructors. .
I just hoped that this ship would not go into the mountains.

< It is finally the opening day of the International Dungeon Conference. Currently, there is news that representatives from each country are arriving in Korea one after another, but before the conference officially begins, there is still no information about this conference. Could you briefly summarize it for people who don't know? Professor Kim?〉 At the top of the news screen, the phrase 'Special programming for the International Dungeon Summit' was firmly embedded. The announcer conducting the broadcast had a much brighter expression and a cheerful tone than usual. It was going on. It was intended to instill in people watching the news the awareness that something very good was happening. < Yes. As many of you know, after the last dungeon monster tragedy, all dungeons around the world were destroyed. Just one. Except for one place. It is a dungeon located in the East Sea of Korea.〉 〈 The only dungeon in the world is in Korea! That is really good news!〉 〈 As a result, Korea has been designated as the venue for the International Dungeon Conference. It is called IDC for short.〉 〈This is the moment when Korea stands tall as the center of the world's dungeons. It is truly an honor!〉 Ban Seo-hu, who was watching the broadcast, sneered at the announcer's exaggeratedly happy attitude. An international dungeon conference. Why is it not the Seoul Dungeon Summit, the Dokdo Dungeon Summit, or the East Sea Dungeon Summit? These types of conferences were usually named after the venue. Like the Potsdam Conference held in Potsdam and the Yalta Conference held in Yalta, the name of this conference also had to be named after a Korean region. Of course, you can name the conference whatever you want at the time, but this conference has more regional characteristics than any other conference with a place name. It would be more awkward to bother taking it out. Just looking at the name, it seems like a conference where people around the world discuss dungeons in each country. They very intentionally left out the fact that this dungeon was located in Korea. Of course, the name ‘Korean Dungeon Ownership Summit’ might feel strange even to them. Since there is a dungeon in Korea, the dungeon belongs to Korea. But why hold an international conference to discuss ownership? This was a territorial invasion meeting. Discussing who will use the land and resources that clearly belong to the owner? It was nonsense. However, not only the media around the world but even the Korean media did not mention this. There was no way people wouldn't notice such blatant extortionist intentions. The most unfair was Korea, and the most absurd was Son Mo-ah. Although there is no actual ability to access the dungeon, Korea has consistently claimed ownership of the dungeon on its soil. The position that Son Mo-ah has maintained until now is that he is only ‘illegally occupying’ the dungeon and that the actual owner is the government of the Republic of Korea. However, since the situation was like this even before the situation calmed down and the dungeon was retrieved from Son Mo-ah, there was no way for Korea to own the dungeon. Even if it's Son Mo-ya who doesn't show up, the reason she can't bear to say it's unfair in Korea is because she knows what's at the next level. War. There is something that people who have watched the war in the Middle East say jokingly. The reason Korea can still remain Korea is because it does not produce oil. All you have to do is attach a justification. Resource hunting by powerful countries was already rampant in the name of fabricated justice. It was to the point where we should have been thankful that we were trying to achieve this peacefully through talks. 〈Then Professor Kim. Is there any information about what items will be discussed at this meeting? 〉 〈Everything is confidential, so not much is known. However, since the purpose of the meeting is so clear, it is possible to make predictions.〉 〈Is it also ownership?〉 〈It is predicted that usage rights, not ownership, will be discussed. Matters such as what form of access will be taken and how the products will be divided.〉 〈But I understand that the dungeon is currently blocked by the terrorist Son Mo-ah. Is there a solution to this?〉 Seohu Ban frowned slightly in discomfort. I frowned. The ownership issue is quietly overlooked, and negative public opinion is being formed by calling Son Mo-ah a 'terrorist'. 〈The method of containment is the barrier. It is also a barrier created with a very high-level skill. It seems like that too can be solved. If all the hunters around the world work together, they can destroy at least one barrier.〉 〈I see.〉 〈Yes. I can do it now, but I'm not doing it on purpose. Once the details are decided at the meeting, the barrier will also be dealt with.〉 The attitude of the dungeon as if it was already mine was very annoying to Seohu Ban. 〈Some say that the ownership of this dungeon belongs to Korea and Son Mo-ah. What do you think about this opinion? Professor Kim.〉 〈That’s nonsense. This is the legacy of the entire planet. It is even more absurd for an individual to own this, and it is even more absurd for one country to monopolize it. It's selfishness of the extreme.〉 To say such a thing while taking it for granted that individuals own the oil and precious metals that rise from the earth. The more I looked at it, the more shameless I became. The video continued under Ban Seo-hu's gaze. < okay. After listening to it, I think what Professor Kim said is correct. I believe that even a small number of people who are opposed to this will one day be able to understand this.〉 〈The content is a bit difficult, so the lower the level of education, the less likely they are to understand these public aspects. But in the end, you will understand that it is for everyone's benefit. Professor Kim has just made those who object to this territorial invasion into 'undereducated idiots who do not understand the public interest.' Now, if you talk about this, you're being an idiot. Ban Seo-hu stuck out his tongue at the clever way of saying it. 〈They say the talks will begin soon. I am very excited to see what benefits Korea will gain and what new history will be recorded.〉 Looking forward to it? How much of a share will Korea gain in this summit? No, this idea is meaningless in the first place. In the end, everything belongs to Son Mo-ah. 〈Then, we will continue the process while watching the on-site video.〉 The screen changed and people were seen shaking hands or greeting each other in what appeared to be a conference room. These were the people in charge dispatched from each country to obtain the right to use the dungeon. Everyone's face was shining with ambition and anticipation. The moment Son Moa arrived, the useless desires that were about to be scattered were shining brightly.
