The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter Chapter 59

Building near Jamsil Station.

Ares Guild Office.

“A janitor was appointed as the head of the operations headquarters?”

A man with a lumpy body let out a loud voice.

Seok-Hyeon Cha of Mechanical Class.

He was the head of the ‘Ares’ guild, the number one guild in Korea, and the person ranked second in the official domestic rankings.

“Is that so? “There’s really nothing going on.”

Yoo Ji-woo, Cha Seok-hyun’s long-time friend and guild leader of Korea’s 5th largest guild ‘Aphrodite’, answered.

Ranked 1st in the domestic sniper class.

Ranked 9th in the country, she was also a hunter of equal skill to Cha Seok-hyun.

In this way, the upheaval of Korean associations, including ‘Association Gate’, was rapidly spreading not only among the general public but also in the same industry.

“Hahaha! Clearly, a catastrophe is a catastrophe. “I never thought that old man’s den would change like that!”

“Is this something to laugh about?”

Yoo Ji-woo continued speaking harshly.

“Everyone is in a festive mood because the cleaner has taken command. “Some are saying that if we move now, it could ruin the association.”

“What are you talking about?”

“What is it? You’re not from the control team or a hunter, you’re a janitor. “Now that such a person has been promoted to the head of the operations headquarters, I believe the association will stumble.”

“Hmm… that’s strange.”

Cha Seok-hyun crossed his arms and shook his head.

“what?”

“As for that general manager, the way I see it is that if you catch him, he’ll eat you, and he’s not someone who will never be eaten.”

A groundless statement.

Like this, Cha Seok-hyun mostly left his judgment to his intuition.

The important thing is that his intuition was always right.

Because of this, Yoo Ji-woo also showed interest as if it was interesting.

“Hmm, I wonder what kind of person you are to say something like that.”

“Well, maybe we’ll have a chance to meet again soon.”

Cha Seok-hyun smiled.

Kim Jun-woo’s story was an issue not only in the guild but also among independent freelance hunters.

A small bar in Itaewon.

A man who was reading the newspaper in that dark place without any hesitation looked at the phrase written in the headline and let out a chuckle.

“She’s a janitor… it’s a coincidence.”

The man said that and sipped his drink.

Yang Min-ho’s

wizard class.

Official world ranking: 59th.

Hunter ranked first in the official domestic rankings.

Although he was officially registered as a freelance hunter, he had a different name in the industry.

At that time, the man’s cell phone rang.

“Yes, I’m Yang Minho.”

A middle-aged man’s voice was heard on the other side of the cell phone.

“Are you talking about a request?”

“Hmm…”

“Well, it’s possible… but the unit price for that is a bit high.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Yes, then let’s give it a try right away.”

Yang Minho hung up the phone and raised his drink again.

Another job of his was to work as a troubleshooter for money.

Hunter ordinary politician.

Intimidation, kidnapping, and political manipulation.

It doesn’t matter who requests what.

As long as you gave them money, he would handle any request neatly, and because of that, they called him ‘the cleaner.’

Support Team Hunter Management Office.

Aide Shin Soo-ji came here to announce that the previous proposal to expand research facilities had been passed.

“So it passed?!”

As expected, Lee Ah-young was startled as soon as she heard the report.

“The budget must be enormous… I heard you’ve read the plan?”

“Roughly speaking. “Honestly, I’m embarrassed too.”

Aide Shin Su-ji also scratched his head.

Lee Ah-young was confused as to whether she should like this or not.

Of course, expanding the support team’s research facilities was essential in the long term.

However, it was difficult to even bring up the story because support for the support team had so far been treated as ‘useless expenditure’.

But didn’t that person finally become the head of the division? Lee Ah-young thought this was an opportunity to at least speak out.

However, it was literally just a story being told, and it was a plan sent without much expectation… I never thought it would be passed so quickly.

“They say they will provide extensive support not only to the expansion, but also to the control and cleaning teams. “It also takes up next quarter’s budget… ha, what on earth are you thinking?”

Aide Shin Su-ji shook his head.

Lee Ah-young, who was watching this, smiled.

“Why are you smiling?”

“no. “There was a time when I was like that too… I thought.”

Aide Shin Su-ji tilts his head.

“You’ve never worked with Director Suzy, right?”

“…Yes. I have been at the administrative headquarters ever since I joined the company. “Well, I heard a lot about it through rumors.”

“Then it’s hard to understand.”

“yes…?”

“Even though I don’t quite understand… he’s not the type of person to do things without thinking.”

“Isn’t that what everyone does?”

“Yes, of course. But that person is on a different level.”

Aide Shin Su-ji looked like she didn’t understand.

“That person is looking ahead of what others are seeing. “Sometimes I wonder just how far I’m looking.”

“Ah… where is there a person like that?”

“Just looking at this incident, it’s like that. “This gate was all planned from scratch by the director?”

Shin Su-ji was silent.

I had met and talked with Director Lee Ah-young a few times for work, but this was the first time she had praised someone to this extent.

“Furthermore, when you were part of the cleaning team, how much did you care for your colleagues around you? Anyone who messes with their own comrades is a person who will not be able to see them even if they die. I can never tolerate injustice. Anyway, he is a capable person….”

Lee Ah-young’s praise never seemed to stop.

“I know it’s rude to ask such a question, but…”

At that time, Shin Su-ji’s aide, who had been listening quietly, cautiously opened his mouth.

“Aren’t you sure you like it, Chief?”

“I like it.”

An answer without any hesitation.

On the contrary, Shin Su-ji’s aide who asked the question was embarrassed.

Then Lee Ah-young smiled.

“As a person.”

With a slight smile, Lee Ah-young sat down and stretched.

“Anyway… I’m glad it passed. “I wanted to study that guy quickly.”

I looked at the vacuum tube installed in the corner of the management office.

Inside, the time stone was emitting a soft yellow light.

Aide Shin Su-ji was also momentarily distracted by that mysterious light.

“Bank item… right? “An item that can only be handled for research purposes.”

“that’s right. “Do you understand?”

“Approximately. But is that such a dangerous thing?”

“I don’t know either.”

Lee Ah-young shrugged her shoulders.

“yes yes?”

“I’ve only heard about it, but this is my first time actually seeing it. “Loop dungeons sometimes appear, but not all dungeons drop time stones.”

“Still, wouldn’t it be possible to find data on items that are designated as dangerous by the International Association?”

“If you were Suzy, would you disclose that information?”

“Ah…”

He nods as if he understands right away.

“Of course, there is at least some data on other bank items. It is said that Lee Neung-seok can forcibly give abilities to people who do not have them.”

“…That doesn’t seem very special.”

“The point is that it can be given to more than just people.”

Granting abilities other than humans?

I had no idea what kind of effect it would be.

“And on the other hand, it is said that the anti-neungseok removes this ability… and the dimension stone is said to be able to create dungeons at will. “Well, there’s everything.”

“Hmm.”

Aide Shin Su-ji gave an appropriate answer.

It wasn’t a story of particular interest.

“But there is no data on just that. “I have no idea what it is.”

“…How amazing.”

“That’s why I proposed expanding the lab. “I want to see what it is.”

“okay.”

“It was too TMI with such a busy person.”

Lee Ah-young clapped her hands and said.

“Oh, it’s okay. “It’s not that busy.”

“Eh? “I heard they are carrying out large-scale scouting this time.”

“That’s true, but… the head of the department is handling it all himself. “He hasn’t even come into the office since yesterday.”

“That’s like him. “Why are you so eager if you’re going to leave in a month anyway?”

Anyway…

Lee Ah-young smiled bitterly.

***

Jamsil, Songpa-gu.

It had already been 30 minutes since I wandered between high-rise buildings under the scorching sun.

“It’s around here…”

I looked at the map on my phone and the surrounding area to check.

Then it soon stopped in front of a building with a familiar street number.

‘It’s right here.’

After checking the location again, I went straight into the building.

When I took the elevator and arrived at the 12th floor, I saw the ‘Ares’ logo painted on the front door of the office.

‘It’s like the number one guild.’

At that time, I was staring at the logo that seemed childish at first glance.

“Oh, you’re here.”

A woman came out of the office.

“Nice to meet you. “My name is Heo Jin-ah from the accounting department.”

“This is Kim Jun-woo, who contacted me.”

“Come on in. “The CEO just came to work and is waiting for us.”

I followed her into the office.

Inside, it had the atmosphere of an ordinary company. About 20 employees were sitting at their seats and working.

“You can go into this conference room. “Would you like a cup of tea?”

“Oh yeah. “I’d like something cool, please.”

As I entered the conference room alone, the rugged man who had been waiting first stood up and shook my hand.

“Hey! Nice to meet you!”

That man, who looks like a gorilla, is the representative of the Ares Guild and the current second-ranked hunter in the country.

I am Cha Seok-hyeon, the guild leader of the mechanic class.

“This is Cha Seok-hyeon. Even if it wasn’t, I wanted to meet you at least once, but now that you’ve come to visit me in person, I don’t know what to do!”

Well, we didn’t have that deep of a relationship in my past life… but he was someone I had met a few times.

Anyway, the fuss is still there.

“Nice to meet you. “This is Kim Jun-woo, head of the Seoul Operations Division of the Supernatural Dimension Association.”

“It’s cancer. It’s cancer. “Is there anyone on this floor who doesn’t know the general manager?”

“Is that so? “I don’t remember doing anything notable.”

Then Cha Seok-hyun laughed out loud.

“You are too humble. “It’s even weirder if someone who used to be a janitor becomes the head of the operations headquarters, but the rumor doesn’t spread.”

Anyway, guild bastards are still interested in the affairs of the association…

“Honestly, I’m a bit curious too. “What on earth were you doing in that old school hangout?”

“well. “There’s nothing really worth saying…”

I trailed off because I didn’t have anything else to say.

To be honest, I’m a bit surprised that I’ve become so famous.

Cha Seok-hyun laughed out loud again and immediately moved on to another topic. He was quick-witted despite his size.

“The information you contacted us has been well received. “You’re scouting?”

“yes. “There is some work going on internally at the association, so there is a lot of vacancy in operational personnel.”

“But it’s still an association, isn’t it? “I don’t think we’ll be able to fill it in a hurry just because a few people are vacant.”

“It’s not to the point of causing any problems right now, but… according to information from the control team, it seems like an underwater dungeon will open in Incheon Port soon. “I’m trying to prepare in advance for what I’ll have to cover anyway.”

Hmm, he crossed his arms and let out a light breath.

“But is there any reason why you chose our guild?”

“There was no other choice. “Isn’t it the number one guild in name and reality?”

“ha ha ha! Didn’t you have a conflict with our assistant guild leader last time? “Of course I thought it was something out of the ordinary.”

For a moment my eyes narrowed.

Just as I was wondering if I had ever met the Ares assistant guild leader, I belatedly remembered the incident from the interview for the cleaning team.

Shin Tae-hwan was the assistant guild leader here.

“Well, I tend to distinguish between public life and life.”

“ha ha ha! okay.”

Cha Seok-hyun smiled and nodded.

I took out the documents I had brought with me and got to the point.

“This is a scouting contract. If you read it, you will see that it is a pretty good deal. “If there is a waiting list for a job transfer…”

“I’m sorry, but I will decline.”

Cha Seok-hyun nodded.

It was before I had even taken out all the documents.

“…yes?”

“I’m sorry to tell you this after making you come here, but I think it will be difficult to proceed with the scouting.”

What on earth is this….
