The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 17

Operation seminar room.
It was full of hunters who attended to hear this subjugation briefing.
And in the meantime….
“No matter what, isn’t this a bit much?”
“I know yeah. The cleaning team is going to attack you. “It’s too much, really.”
“Tsk, my budget was taken away and my job was taken away. Now it looks like my job will be taken away from me.”
“What can I do? It’s my fault that I didn’t get on the line. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to the cleaning team. Oh, you lucky bastards.”
“Hey hey. I will listen. “Speak quietly.”
The dungeon cleaning team is awkwardly stuck.
Han Sang-hyuk, who was always energetic, is now depressed.
Moon So-yeon was half-fazed, and Team Leader Park tried to pretend that nothing had happened, but…
“Stop shaking your leg.”
“Ah… that’s right. “I’m sorry.”
Everyone is in a state of extreme tension.
Actually, it feels like I’m in a tiger’s den. No matter how much the cleaning team’s status has improved these days, the operations team is still an operations team.
Just a few days ago, as a janitor, I couldn’t even exchange a single word with them, so it’s natural for me to be sensitive to them since I’m in the same place.
‘Well, it’s full of CB-level guys…’
While scanning the seminar room, I noticed something strange and opened my mouth to Kim Min-ju.
“But aren’t the kids here part of Operation Team 1? “If it’s a multi-zone dungeon, you’re assigned to one team.”
I remembered participating in this subjugation 10 years ago.
Actually, rather than participating… I was the leader of the punitive force in the first place.
Since I was in Operation Team 1 at the time, I naturally thought that Operation Team 1 would be in charge this time as well.
“that’s right. “It was originally our team’s strategy, but from what I heard, it seems that Team Leader Lee Soo-yong handed the entire project over to Team 2.”
“…Hand over the project? why? “I must have prepared for at least two months.”
“well. “It seems like something was said between the team leaders… but I don’t know the details.”
“Live, live, star… Tsk, I only feel sorry for the kids on Team 1.”
“There was already quite a bit of backlash, but since it was decided from above, there was nothing we could do about it. Luckily, I was able to participate through tie-in sales.”
“luck…?”
Oh my, I am so useless and humble.
Being the leader of such a large-scale subjugation is not a matter of luck.
A leader of a punitive force is a person who has the skills to command the entire punitive force on the field, excluding team leaders.
This is proof that he is the best hunter among the current team members.
‘Well… it looks like you’re doing well.’
I smiled without realizing it.
“Anyway, I’m sorry. “I didn’t want to get you involved with the operation team, but the team leader was so abusive.”
“…it’s okay. “I came here to find out what you plan to do with us.”
Although I pretended not to do so on the outside, I was actually happy on the inside.
[Overcommitment – Conditions for unlocking: Signing of joint projects with other departments]
I never thought an opportunity like this would come at once.
Clackclack.
“Oh sister. So what do we do? “You’re not really participating in the subjugation, are you?”
“I don’t know either. The team leader just told me to bring him in. Maybe they’ll explain it during the briefing. “Oh, there you are.”
Kim Min-ju’s gaze moved to the podium in front of the seminar room.
Just then, a man in a black suit appeared holding documents.
“iced coffee.”
Touch the microphone with your finger a couple of times while speaking in a low pitched voice.
“hello. “I am Lim Dong-bin, the leader of Operation Team 2, who is in charge of planning the operation for this Yeongdeungpo multi-zone dungeon conquest.”
When I confirmed the man’s identity, my expression instantly became distorted without me even realizing it, and veins appeared in my eyes.
‘That bastard…’
Fist clenched. My body was shaking.
“Junwoo…?”
“teacher? “Why are you doing this?”
“…nothing.”
I felt like I had caught the attention of my teammates, so I took a deep breath and tried to control my excitement.
But anger doesn’t go away easily.
This is someone I know.
Beyond knowing, I cannot forget.
How can I forget the guy who stole several of my achievements when I was a new recruit?
It’s not just me. I’ve seen countless times where people just spoon-fed a project that everyone else had prepared.
‘Tsk, I can roughly understand why the project was handed over to team 2.’
It is clear that they took advantage of the turbulent atmosphere in the first team these days.
“Kim Min-ju, do you know that team leader by any chance?”
“no. We sometimes say hello when we see each other, but this is the first time we’ve had a conversation. “There wasn’t much interaction with other teams to begin with.”
“Just in case, don’t try to become friends. “Because there’s nothing good about being involved with that guy.”
“…yes?”
Kim Min-joo asked back because he didn’t know what to say, but he didn’t bother to explain the situation.
Just avoiding that bastard is enough. If you get involved for no reason, it will only hinder your growth.
“The expected subjugation time for this operation is 24 hours. As everyone knows, once you enter a dungeon, you cannot leave until all areas have been conquered, so keep this in mind. “If you do not wish to participate in the operation, please let us know by today.”
As Team Leader Lim Dong-bin’s briefing began, the hunters’ eyes became quite serious.
“Since the subjugation time lasts 24 hours, the monsters that have already been subdued will begin to rot in the meantime. If the gas starts to be released, the subjugation will also be hindered. “The third cleaning team here will take care of that part.”
And the mission of the cleaning team was revealed.
Of course, it wasn’t a direct subjugation with hunters… but it was still an operation worthy of ridicule.
Suppression and cleansing take place simultaneously?
This is just saying that the hunters of the 2nd team are incompetent and it is impossible to subdue them in a short time.
‘Back in my day, it took 6 hours to get the job done.’
Of course, I didn’t even think about joint operations with the cleaning team, and there was really no need for it.
“How do you feel? “The cleaning team can do it, right?”
“Oh well…”
Team Leader Park looked at us before answering.
Looking at the atmosphere, there was no particular reason for anyone to refuse.
It was a great opportunity for the cleaning team to interact with the operations team.
Additionally, it is more efficient to work in real time rather than working all at once after the subjugation.
And it is a golden opportunity for me to unlock it as well.
If not this time, when will we be able to operate in conjunction with other teams? And the cleaning team.
“sorry. “I can’t do it.”
But the words that came out of my mouth were not like that at all.
I’d rather not do it than shove my performance down that bastard’s throat.
***
After the briefing is over.
The seminar room was empty after everyone left.
Kim Jun-woo also left first, but the cleaning team still remained there, showing signs of disappointment.
“Why did you refuse? Opportunities like this are rare…”
Moon So-yeon said in a low voice.
“therefore! I tried to bite the bullet by offering performance bonuses. “Were you really scared?”
“Ah… Junwoo is afraid of dungeons?”
“No, no. I definitely saw that bastard, but his hands kept shaking. “If it’s not because I’m scared, what can it be?”
Han Sang-hyuk spoke with a confident voice.
Of course, no one listened to what he said.
Meanwhile, Minjoo Kim, who was lost in thought for a moment, turned his head towards Team Leader Park.
“What do you think, team leader?”
“They seem to be worried about us.”
“I agree too.”
Kim Min-ju and Team Leader Park nodded together.
“You may not know because it is only briefly explained during the briefing… but in fact, it is an extremely dangerous operation. Because you are joining a subjugation that goes on non-stop for 24 hours. “To be honest, I also wanted to stop him.”
“is it so. He must have known how dangerous this job was. With Junwoo’s personality, there’s no way he could pretend not to know that… I think he drew the line because he was afraid that we would accept it without knowing what was right.”
Team Leader Park helped out with a serious expression.
Moon So-yeon and Han Sang-hyuk felt embarrassed for no reason.
To what extent can he be a good person?
“…Well, if that were the case, would you at least say so? “It always makes people misunderstand.”
“Still, it’s like Junwoo.”
Moon So-yeon smiled.
“But… if there are people who really want to participate, I’ll talk to the team leader.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. “That bastard thought of us so much that we strapped him on, but he can’t just go out recklessly.”
“Yes? “It wasn’t something I really wanted to do.”
“ha ha ha! That’s right, it’s not like Junwoo doesn’t know how he feels. It’s unfortunate, but it can’t be helped. “Our team is not participating in this operation!”
Team Leader Park concluded.
Of course, no one had a different opinion.
“Fighting, even if it’s my sister.”
Moon So-yeon clenched her fist towards Kim Min-ju. However, Kim Min-ju looked like he was contemplating an answer.
Then soon.
“I’m afraid I might fall too.”
He also expressed his intention to leave the operation.
“yes?! That’s not possible! “You are the leader of such a large operation!”
“That’s right! If you’re doing it because we’re out of it, think again…”
“No. It’s not something I’m particularly swept away by. Actually, I didn’t like it either. I don’t have the confidence to do well and I don’t think it’s time yet. “More than anything, the teacher said that it would be no good to be associated with that guy.”
There was no doubt that it was an opportunity too big to be undeserved.
After all, isn’t this the position of leader of a large-scale punitive force?
However, it is true that he is not confident, and more than anything, Kim Jun-woo goes so far as to say so.
From Kim Min-joo’s perspective, he naturally had no choice but to be cautious.
“Well, in times like this, I should listen to the teacher. Who else can I listen to?”
***
Operation Team 2 Office. The time when everyone left work.
Team leader Lim Dong-bin was left alone guarding the office.
“Seniors!”
An unwelcome guest who just happened to arrive.
It was none other than team leader Lee Soo-yong.
“I heard you were fucked?”
Team leader Lee Soo-yong looked very excited.
Thanks to this, Team Leader Lim Dong-bin became even more uncomfortable.
“…If you’re going to start a fight, get out of there.”
“What did I say? I told you that I wasn’t someone you could mess with. What kind of person is that person? “Everyone has already figured it out.”
Team leader Lim Dong-bin’s sigh rang out for a long time.
There is no other reason for bringing in a cleaning team to such a major project.
Conditions given to team leader Soo-yong Lee.
In order to show the cleaning team an example, they had to participate in this subjugation.
But….
“You paid a performance bonus, but now you’re backing out? “Did you really notice?”
“I heard that even Kim Min-ju was missing. Then what did you say? “Is this operation possible without Operation Team 2 Kim Min-ju?”
“…What do you think of us?”
This is a project that was taken away by going to unreasonable lengths. If you make a mistake, you must take full responsibility for it.
So I had to succeed no matter what.
However, at the current level of Operation Team 2…
“…you can just ask for cooperation from a private guild.”
“Do they have money to scout?”
“There’s some left over from this quarter’s budget.”
“It won’t be enough? “I recently spent 200 million won.”
“No shit….”
Team leader Dongbin Lim jumped up from his seat.
It was recently reported to the cleaning team that the operation team’s budget had been drained.
However, I thought that unless something special happened, it wouldn’t have much of an impact…
‘I couldn’t have expected it to happen like this…’
Team Manager Lim had an expression of disbelief.
How meticulous is this guy?
It seems they didn’t call it a big name line for nothing.
“That’s right, you’re a brat with no operational experience…”
Team Leader Lim clenched his fists.
Team leader Lee Soo-yong opened his mouth, trying hard to suppress the twitching of the corner of his mouth.
“You might just be lucky.”
“what?”
“I told you to rest when you fell, so don’t force yourself to do anything and then end up getting hurt. Instead, find another way… Okay, I’m sure you will take care of it. Anyway, I don’t know anymore~.”
“hey!”
Team Leader Lim called Team Leader Soo-Yong Lee who was leaving the office and stopped him.
“Why? You’re not telling me to take it back now, are you?”
“Let’s borrow the general manager’s line too.”
Team leader Lim Dong-bin’s eyes became sharper.
