    The office of the Superintelligence Management Agency under the Ministry of Defense of Japan became noisy.

    "Damn it! The Americans made 200,000 dollars."

    "We run even more!"

    "It''s over budget!"

    In a few chats, the already charged amount was exhausted.

    Suzuki! Hurry up and report it to the chief!"

    Suzuki jumped out and Daigo thought about it before proceeding with charging.

    "It''s a report of a preliminary action! Chat up."

    "How much?"

    Super chat sent with donations is different from regular chat.

    It was good to draw people''s attention as the message popped up with the flashy effect.

    The chat effect differs depending on the amount of support, but the most spectacular is 10,000 yen. More than that, everything is the same.

    "What to see! Ten thousand yen!"

    no. Super Chats under 100,000 yen are not even read."

    "Consistent with utter disregard!"

    "Chick show!"

    At the words of the team members, Daigo struck the desk.

    "Wicked Joshenjing! 1 million yen! Raise it!"

    Tata Tak.

    Team members hurriedly posted a chat.

    It was a message that cost a whopping 1 million yen.

    シKU sponsored 1,000,000.

    [I am ready at any time. If you invite me to your guild, I''m ready to go right away.]

    - Aigoo, thank you for 1 million won in Japanese. Are you ready... .

    "It''s a reaction!"

    "Okay! You saw our message!"

    "You did it!"

    The cheering words of the team members were buried in the words of Dong-soo that followed.

    - Igo Franco, thank you for your support of 300,000 won.

    "Chick show!"

    "I ended up reading our message."

    manager. no. The upload speed of other Super Chats is too fast."

    Daigo''s fists trembled.

    Evil Korean.

    It''s not 10,000 won, it''s 1 million yen!

    You mean you don''t even know the currency of Japan!

    No, if you see that smiling face, you may be doing it on purpose.

    manager! We also have to aim for stability."

    "You need to revise the message so that it can be read in one breath."

    "How much is the fix?"

    "It''s hard to go below 100,000 dollars."

    Fixed sponsorship history as if it were a trophy at the top of the chat window.

    There are three fixed chats as if ranking.

    $200,000, $140,000, $90,000.

    $100,000 is over 10 million yen.

    I wondered if it was worth spending that much money just to deliver a message, but that wicked Joseon guy was making fun of me again.

    - Oh, thank you so much for your support. Well, more people are looking for Suho than my story. Haha, I can''t tell you all the stories, and since the people who donated are sincere, I can tell you about three things.

    He put up an auction for the top three fixed chats.

    Indeed, when he finished speaking, Super Chats in various languages were breaking new records. 100 million, 120 million, 200 million, 240 million... .

    "Me, me!"

    Daigo grabbed his back.

    The brains of that vicious Jo Senjing are full of capitalist monsters!

    "Chick show! 100 million yen!"

    "Am I really bored?"

    "It is an investment for the future of the Japanese Empire!"

    Daigo is convinced.

    There may be more trust because there is a pilot case of Lee Seong-woo. There is a saying that they are Korean Awakenings that are trusted and used.

    It is a country where even the awakened people cannot protect themselves with too little land and national power, but strangely, high-quality manpower who will surprise the world occasionally appears.

    ''Gate of the New World? Heh, you idiots.''

    Korea does not know the value of irregular.

    It doesn''t matter if it''s an uncertain gate. It doesn''t matter if he''s a dungeon returner.

    After all, the gate is a treasure.

    ''If you have the power, you can take it anytime.''

    The generated gate doesn''t even run away.

    What really matters is the value as an irregular.

    Lee Seong-woo, who is ranked No. 1 in the world, is Japanese.

    And how about the dazzling growth of the Awakened who claim to be his disciples and belong to him?

    If you get one very strong Irregular, you will have dozens of hundreds of disciples.

    An F-grade mercenary cleared a 5-star dungeon.

    How great are the hidden secrets?

    Stupid Korea broadcast this fact live to the media.

    ''The amount has nothing to do with it.''

    Isn''t this an opportunity to take Korea''s national power and add it to Japan?

    You can invest anything.

    "Japan is consolidating its dominant position in East Asia."

    Now that China is divided, this is a golden opportunity to seize the hegemony of East Asia. The construction of an empire that spans the continent may be accelerated.

    "The Americans have paid two million dollars in a row!"

    The majesty of the only great power now that China has collapsed.

    The top three fixed positions were all filled with messages from the United States.

    Damn it! Don''t be pushed by the Americans."

    The fierce competition between Super Chats continued for a while.

    *

    MIC! Charge quickly."

    "Yes, charging to the limit is over."

    The account was full of money, but it would fly away in a few chats.

    zone! Come on send a message You can''t lose it to Jack again this time.

    Jack is the director of the CIA.

    For those who steal talent from time to time, they can''t lose it this time.

    I sent.

    "This guy should definitely be recruited from our association."

    10 years after the Cataclysm.

    Irregulars with interesting skills have appeared after a long time.

    I''m greedy

    Recruitment competition is not just between countries.

    Institutions, associations, guilds .

    Hundreds of millions of dollars is just an investment for a stab at it.

    uh? We are making the closing remarks."

    What? So what about the message?"

    The answer was coming from the screen, not the subordinate.

    - Message delivery will be uploaded as the next video. Then hello everyone!

    Pot!

    The live broadcast has ended.

    With the screen turned off coolly, there was silence in the office.

    *

    Trees that give off an atmosphere that may have passed for decades grew densely close together.

    The supremely artificial and natural wooden wall completely isolated the inside from the outside.

    It''s difficult to film with a drone because you don''t know when the portal will open, two units are stationed nearby, and any flying is prohibited.

    "There is nothing to dry."

    It is not unreasonable for reporters who are lounging around and lurking around them to spit out rants.

    The company tells me to get something, but Park Soo-ho, who is not tired, is locked up in a wooden castle and has not been seen for two months.

    "What deal did you do with the government that you are hiding like this?"

    He must have promised a great price.

    So, he''s not showing his appearance in the media and he''s probably chirping rather than chirping.

    A pickup truck familiar with their radar network stood out.

    "It''s a lunch box."

    "That guild is also very special."

    "It''s unique and nothing special."

    Except for Park Soo-ho, who is running the issue, it is just a clan with F-class people who don''t see much.

    "It''s embarrassing to even call it a guild."

    Park Soo-ho''s ability?

    It''s noisy, but part of it has yet to be revealed.

    The fact that he cleared the 5-star dungeon is great, but it is unknown whether he achieved it entirely by his own strength.

    Most evaluations were that he might have died if he hadn''t been with Choi Soo-young, the highest awakening person in the sensing series, also called Monster Raider.

    There is no information released for a month after returning alive from the dungeon, so only conspiracy theories are coming out.

    "If you find out what the contract was with the government, wouldn''t it be a scoop?"

    "You say that."

    Even now, some reporters are excitedly writing novels based on speculation, but articles that aren''t fact-checked haven''t won the public''s persuasion.

    The number of views is still good, but compared to the initial interest, it is waning.

    What the public wants is one thing.

    Awoken who will surpass Lee Seong-woo!

    The Awakened, who was ranked No. 1 in the World Awakened Rankings, is climbing up with the flag of Japan.

    For Koreans who like No. 1, Seongwoo Lee can be said to be a kind of trauma. Therefore, I hope that a new Awakened will appear and stand before his name.

    Public interest in Park Soo-ho was based on this expectation.

    uh? There''s a new article. It seems that Japan and the United States have a lot of contact?"

    "Wow, donations are no joke."

    Did I say Dongsu TV?

    A YouTuber who luckily met the issue maker.

    The trick is the bear, and the money is taken by Amon.

    "Come on, analyze it!"

    Journalists are busy.

    His short live broadcast will be analyzed and interpreted by reporters, and dozens of articles will be lined up.

    *

    At the only entrance to Namu Castle, staff dispatched from the Association were stationed there. It is to control not only reporters but also scouts from other countries from entering the country.

    Junho received their checks as if he was familiar with them.

    "It''s a lot of trouble."

    "Hey, what are you up to today?"

    "Turn around. Would you like to eat with the rest of us later?"

    "Hey, that''s good. I will contact you."

    I went to Suho''s lunch box delivery for the past time, and I''ve become quite friendly with the association''s staff.

    Burr.

    The truck passed through the gates and slowly traversed the forest road filled with tall trees.

    "Hey, this place changes every day."

    The trees stretched out to obscure the sun, and two large wolves roamed around as if searching for when they came.

    Dong-soo caught it all in his eyes.

    "Coming here is like a different world."

    It seems to have grown haphazardly, but it is a forest that does not feel cramped because it grows sparsely in a fairly spacious space. The bushes under my feet are also of a suitable size.

    It is a landscape that cannot be found in fields where destroyed buildings and damaged nature are left unattended.

    This is the only place that seems to have escaped the war and is peaceful.

    An unusually large tree in the middle of the forest.

    A strong stem that cannot fit seven adults around its arms rises about 30 meters high. It was full of green light as if it was a shelter for tree spirits, but the glittering appearance made it seem like a tree was breathing.

    "Are you here?"

    Suho, who was lying on a flat flat under the tree, got up.

    It looks clunky, but it''s a fairly spacious wooden plank.

    "Is this made of wood?"

    "Then it''s a tree, what is it?"

    Dong-soo muttered a question after hearing nothing but bruises.

    "Wow, I thought you could be some kind of elf."

    Seriously, would an elf show such majesty?

    I didn''t care for the forest, but made it at all.

    "Hurry up."

    I took out the still warm dulchigi and tofu kimchi, and took out the makgeolli box.

    "Hey, it''s makgeolli."

    Suho was already salivating with anticipation.

    "Do you have any of us?"

    Suho blinked his eyes at the empty seat as he looked at Choi Soo-young and the association''s staff walking around.

    "Uh, sit down."

    The glasses were filled in an instant and a toast was exchanged.

    "Hey, it''s killing me."

    I couldn''t drink this good drink for over a thousand years.

    It''s not worth sharing though.

    Sharing good food is fun, and there is no need to be greedy like living alone in the world.

    I''m tired of living alone now.

    "It really feels like you''ve been on vacation anywhere."

    "Before the Cataclysm, I used to go to the valley a lot to play."

    "I miss you."

    Although most of Korea''s territory is mountainous, it is not easily accessible.

    Monsters and predators are different from wild animals and mosquitoes in their risk.

    Few people risk their lives just on vacation or hire dozens of guards.

    "The valley is nice. Next time, we should make the valley a territory."

    At Suho''s words, Sooyoung corrected.

    "You can''t make it a field so arbitrarily."

    "Isn''t this abandoned land? Why are you blocking me when I say I''ll take care of it?

    "Because it was abandoned."

    Soo-young spoke quickly before Su-ho hung up.

    "Why is the field dangerous?"

    monster?

    "It''s a very low-ranking minority."

    "Then looters?"

    "With the exception of a few very vicious bastards, they''re just bastards."

    then?

    "It is the fact that the state has given up its defenses."

    Excluded from the top priority defense target.

    Land and facilities... .

    "The real danger is that the bomb might drop at any moment."

    If a portal explodes nearby, firepower will be poured out indiscriminately towards the dense monster army.

    There is no evacuation broadcast in the field.

    "Ugh."

    If I draw a line and pick it up as a field, it is not my land.

    Sooyoung smiled and pointed around.

    "Are you really happy? This is the territory of the guardian guild recognized by the state."

    land placed under the protection of the state.

    If the Guardian Guild does not protect properly, the firepower of the army will be concentrated here.

    Before that, it gives you a ''notice'' so that you can evacuate sufficiently.

    Choi Soo-young, who took another glass of makgeolli and drank it, was startled.

    Well?

    Dimensional energy is detected.

    ''surely?''

    His gaze turned to Suho, but the only place he was with was a glass of makgeolli.

    ''Find me before you?''

    When Sooyoung felt a presence, Suho had already identified the collision point and moved.

    A space that is distorted and distorted like air is folded.

    When he went, Suho is standing in front of him.

    "Put the equipment down."

    Yep.

    At Choi Soo-young''s command, the 11 detection teams moved quickly.

    It is a sign that a portal will be created soon.
