I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 56
Episode 056
Fortunately, they were used to this kind of thing.
Hunters who knew nothing about politics were unaware of how the world was going and were blinded only to immediate profits, so they were gradually turned into tools.
Under the name ‘Guild Member’.
The task of monopolizing dungeon access permissions and almost engulfing this new faction.
And this work will be the end of that work.
The first generation guilds that were still struggling to survive were tenaciously maintaining their reputation.
They are strangling the situation by gradually excluding them from being permitted to attack dungeons, but in the end, this may change at any moment due to those who are driven by a useless sense of justice and want to expose the current situation.
This job was about completely eliminating that risk.
The scenario they planned was like this.
Permission to attack dungeons is given equally to small guilds.
This refutes the protest that large guilds have a monopoly on dungeon attack permission.
Unfortunately, the small guild’s strategy team was wiped out in the dungeon.
As expected, as it was a small guild that was too clumsy, we were not properly prepared and ended up in an unfortunate situation.
In large guilds, there has never been a single casualty accident like this, but this is why small guilds should not be given permission to attack dungeons.
To prevent this kind of misfortune, dungeon raids should be focused on well-established large guilds.
The reason the Dungeon Management Office had originally granted permission to attack only large guilds was because they were concerned about such accidents.
As articles with this tone pour in, public opinion will eventually flow in the direction that only large guilds should attack dungeons.
All you have to do is add a little more fuel to the fire, create a related law in the National Assembly, and pressure it to pass.
Of course, there are still some annoying flies left, but they will soon be over.
The beginning was Seo Ji-han.
In addition, the disobedient ‘strong hunters’ were expected to break out surprising news and gradually become criminals.
The public’s jealousy toward strong hunters is enormous.
There will be no one who will take their side.
Even if there was one, I wouldn’t be able to raise my voice in the barrage of articles.
“But there’s Mr. Ban on the strategy team. From what I found out, he is a relative of the Sky Guild leader.”
“Banseohu?”
The ‘president’s’ eyes narrowed. It meant he was uncomfortable.
Baek Gwang-hyeon nodded, sweating profusely.
“That’s right.”
“Is there a possibility that the leader of the Sky Guild noticed something and planted a snare?”
“I don’t think that’s the case. “It seemed like we didn’t have a good relationship.”
“Hmm, don’t worry about it. The sky guild leader will change soon anyway.”
“yep.”
For a moment, Baek Gwang-hyeon imagined himself sitting in the soon-to-be vacant seat of the Sky Guild leader.
In the future, many seats will become vacant and people will be needed to sit there.
If only I could show it off now…
“What else?”
“The rest are mostly small pieces. “Ah, do you know Son Moa Hunter?”
“who?”
“The hunter who saved a lot of people in Guam with zero deaths. He’s very popular…”
“I’m not sure. I think I’ve heard about it. Well, it’s better if he’s famous and popular. If a well-known hero jumps into a small guild raid and then dies, wouldn’t the animosity grow even greater? You made the right choice.”
“thank you.”
Baek Gwang-hyeon quickly bowed his head, and everyone nodded in satisfaction.
The ‘president’ looked around them, smiled kindly and raised his glass.
“This was a long introduction. Let’s have a toast at this point. Let’s clean up all the bugs and enter the Korean dungeon. “Once we have the Hunters in our hands, the new world is now ours. A level of power we have never had before will be waiting for us.”
Everyone raised their glasses with a slightly inspired expression at the president’s words.
There were some who pretended not to, but everyone had an expression of anticipation.
“Then, for the sake of the new world.”
for!”
Beyond the drops of alcohol speckling in the air, no one was worried about the future.

I overslept.
As soon as I opened my eyes and checked my phone, I was startled.
However, I was not that surprised because I had slept so late yesterday.
Fortunately, I was summoned . There was still time to spare. I
was lucky that the dungeon entry time was in the afternoon.
Oh, did you expect something like this and asked me to come in the afternoon?
Well, anyway, I’m in good condition because I slept well.
– Did you sleep well?
I came out to the living room and saw me sitting on the sofa. I looked back.
I’m watching TV again today.
I seem to like home shopping quite a bit.
Oh, 30,000 won for 10 packs of duck bulgogi is fine.
I want to buy it, but if I buy it now, it’ll rot in the refrigerator for a month and there’s no one to receive the delivery, so I can’t. .
There was a straw doll hugging a remote control on the living room table.
The clothes the straw doll was wearing today were black jeans and a sweatshirt.
It was wearing something different from yesterday.
Did you change it yourself?
“I slept a lot.”
– How are you feeling?
“Is there anything wrong? I’m good. I’m not in any pain.”
– Good.
A robot vacuum cleaner whizzed by next to us while we were having a daily conversation.
It was an extremely peaceful scene.
Well, let’s eat something first.
I warmed up some ready-to-eat food from the refrigerator and had a meal.
Next was washing.
Washing properly for the time being . It seemed like it would be difficult, so I washed it thoroughly with care. To be
honest, I’m more worried about this than eating or fighting.
I think I can handle it without washing for about 3 days, but I feel uncomfortable rolling around in the dust and sweating. Well, I’m not going to have fun, so I’m not
going anywhere. I’ll have to accept it to some extent.
I searched the market to see if there were any items that could help me wash or sleep in the dungeon, but I couldn’t find anything that stood out as groundbreaking. A magic bathtub that automatically
replenishes water,
or something like that, but it doesn’t mean that your body will be clean automatically. I thought there might be an item that dissolves.
But I didn’t get much benefit.
Still, I bought a few water-type magic scrolls on the market that were relatively cost-effective.
It’s an F-class attack magic scroll that fires a ball of water when you tear it, but its attack power is very low. It is said that most people use this scroll when they need water.
I bought it for emergencies just in case. If
you are in a dungeon and want to wash so much that you can’t stand it, wouldn’t you use it?
Well, the more water, the better.
Fill your stomach, wash your body, and finally leave the house. The time has come.
Of course, I was thinking of moving to the area near the Dungeon Management Office using the movement scroll.
I took Seo Ji-han’s soul stone, I took care of all my personal belongings, and it’s clear that I didn’t miss anything, so let’s go now. Oh, I
‘m really going.
I moved in a slightly excited mood. I tore the scroll.
**
At first glance, the Dungeon Management Office was a luxurious building made with a lot of money. I
was thinking of a rather old-fashioned design like a city hall or community center, but I was a little taken aback when I saw a building that looked as nice as an opera house.
– Dungeon Is this your first time coming to the management office?
“There must have been something to come.”
– Didn’t the company contact you when you were working on the market?
“Most of the time, we contacted you by email or in writing. And since we didn’t have much to do with dungeon-related work, we thought about contacting you once a year or not.”
Unlike other times, I kept my voice low and whispered.
Even though I was wearing Bluetooth earphones to disguise calls, this was the dungeon management office where superhumans called hunters frequented. I
noticed that no sound was coming from the earphones I was wearing. I didn’t know there might be a hunter with special hearing ability.
– Why do you speak so quietly?
“I’m a little scared that something I’m talking about might be caught.”
– Ah, the hunters?
“That’s right, let’s refrain from talking for the time being…”
Seo Ji-han also nodded as if he understood.
While we were discussing this, someone suddenly spoke up.
“Hey, aren’t you going in?”
My heart almost jumped out.
I thought there was no one around, but someone appeared behind me.
Someone did it and it was Ban Seo-jin. Our team’s close range attack hunter.
“Oh hello.”
“Why are you so surprised?”
That’s because you don’t even show your presence.
Ban Seo-jin probably didn’t really expect an answer, but he tapped my shoulder and passed by.
I hurriedly followed him.
I passed through the lobby of the Dungeon Management Office, which was as dazzling as the outside, and went inside to find everyone already gathered.
Just like in the previous preliminary convocation, no one was late.
Are you surprisingly honest people?
Oh, or maybe everyone was that desperate to conquer the dungeon.
Anyway, if it wasn’t for Ban Seo-jin, I would have wandered around the building.
She walked around the Dungeon Management Office without any hesitation, as if she had been here several times before.
I thought he might be a surprisingly sociable person, as there were sometimes people who recognized his face and waved at him.
“You’re here.”
Baek Dae-man, who was sitting on a chair, suddenly stood up.
Next to him was Noh Mirae, with a gloomy expression on his face. It’s dull today too.
Still, he nodded and said hello.
Noh Hee-mang didn’t even say hello and was slumped in the chair in an awkward state, and at a glance, she looked like she was in bad shape.
– I guess I drank a lot yesterday.
Seo Ji-han, who was closely watching Noh Hee-mang’s cooking, clicked his tongue and said.
Once you enter the dungeon, you cannot drink alcohol for a while.
So I guess he drank all night.
Even though it was quite far away, I could almost smell the alcohol.
Even so, drinking the day before the attack.
As if I was the only one who thought this, Ban Seo-jin was also looking at Noh Hee-mang with disdain.
Will it be okay?
This team has people like that as auxiliary hunters.
By the way, everyone came very dressed up.
All four people except me were dressed in very formal attire.
I was wearing cool combat uniforms that I didn’t know where I got them from, but I felt a bit complacent as I was just wearing waterproof everyday clothes.
Seo Ji-han said it was okay, so I just wore the clothes I bought at the supermarket. If I had known it would be like this, maybe I should have searched the market for combat uniforms or something like that.
However, Seo Ji-han clicked his tongue as if he had a different idea.
– You brought it with you while going to an easy place like Vargis Dungeon. Tsk tsk.
Oh, is that so?
Well, although it was a combat uniform, it was not an item at all, but just regular clothes.
Hey, clothes are all clothes.
Comfort is best.
