Beep!
When the tracking device on Kim Woo-jin deactivated with a beeping sound, Oh Se-chan’s subordinate made an OK sign with his fingers .
Lee Jin-ah, who had appeared without any disguise was dumbstruck .
“You’re a real scumbag to come to a private meeting with a tracking device and a wire(1) . If I were Isaac Ivanov, then you would’ve been killed already . ”
Instead of answering, Kim Woo-jin changed his clothes and headed to a parked van .
The van, which had half opened doors, was filled with electronic equipment like in a spy movie .
“Get in . ”
Kim Woo-jin got into the van and the doors were closed the second that Lee Jin-ah got on as well .
Krrr!
Following the loud sound of the engine, the van began to move .
The conversation began when the muted sounds of other vehicle engines could be heard as the truck started driving on a highway .
“Before we start this meeting…”
It was Lee Jin-ah who started talking .
“Would it have killed you to tell me about it earlier? Huh? I only found out about it this morning . ”
It turned out that Lee Jin-ah had only been briefed on the day’s schedule that very morning .
“Dammit, I still remember . ”
Oh Se-chan had called Lee Jin-ah in the morning and told him that he had to get up because he had to meet Kim Woo-jin at the meeting location .
“When I woke up and heard that, I told Se-chan to not mess with me and he cursed me . But tell me honestly, anyone would have said the same thing wouldn’t they?”
It was natural for Lee Jin-ah to not believe it because it was not something that one would expect .
From the standpoint of someone who knew the truth, it was strange for Isaac Ivanov to send his teammate to interview Kim Woo-jin to join their party .
“Isn’t it riskier this way?”
After all, there was a risk .
“Isn’t it? You’re Isaac Ivanov aren’t you?”
Kim Woo-jin and Isaac Ivanov were the same person, but if they were to attack a dungeon together, then naturally they would need to be seen together .
This was a new flaw that could be exposed .
“I’ve prepared in advance . ”
That is why Kim Woo-jin had made his own preparations .
“There’s a call from the boss . I’ll put him on speaker . ”
In addition, it wasn’t just Kim Woo-jin who’d prepared .
-I didn’t get a chance to say congratulations back then because I was too busy . So Congratulations on clearing the dungeon . And also acquiring Merlin’s Wand while you did it .
“Let’s do the greetings later . Are your preparations complete?”
Oh Se-chan was also preparing for when Isaac Ivanov moved together with Oh Se-chan .
-You mean the doppelganger? It needs a couple more improvements . They should be done by the start of next year .
A doppelganger .
The masks that Kim Woo-jin and Lee Jin-ah used, had been improved to the extent that they could now cover the entire body instead of just the face .
“Can it be completed by January?”
-You could even use it now as long as you weren’t too rough with it . All I’m talking about are the improvements . The unit price will go down a little bit more if we can improve it . Although we can still use it if necessary, it is a bit too expensive .
Of course, it was expensive .
It was made from the body parts of a Doppelganger, a monster that was incredibly difficult to encounter .
Even the unit price of the masks that Kim Woo-jin and Lee Jin-ah used all the time was quite high .
If they made it so that they had to cover the entire body, then the price would be dozens of times higher .
“Thank you . ”
Knowing that, Kim Woo-jin expressed his gratitude .
-Anyway, it’s pretty expensive .
And Oh Se-chan kept emphasizing that part .
“I’m forever grateful . ”
-It’s expensive . It costs money . And you’re the one who’s going to use it .
Kim Woo-jin responded to him after a long sigh .
“I’m sure that I’ll successfully clear the next dungeon, so you can bet on me again like you did last time . ”
Those words made Oh Se-chan shout immediately .
-Hey, Lee Jin-ah you bastard! You’re there aren’t you? Why did you tell him! You little shit!
Oh Se-chan’s shout shocked Lee Jin-ah who had been listening to the conversation from the side .
“Hyung, I didn’t tell him anything . ”
-Huh?
Then Kim Woo-jin said .
“I was just talking, I didn’t think it was actually true . ”
-H-, huh?
Only then did Oh Se-chan, who realised that Kim Woo-jin had tricked the truth out of him, change the subject with an awkward laugh .
-Haha, right . Anyway, our relationship is based on trust and faith so we should continue believing in it . Ah, so what’s your schedule for today? Are you going straight to the dungeon?
“We’ll have a meal before we start the dungeon .
-A meal?
“The money I spend today will be covered by the Phoenix Guild . In a way, it is an entertainment expense and there’s no way that Park Yong-wan would hesitate to give it . ”
Oh Se-chan was dumbstruck at his words .
-You really intend to suck him dry . Not even a real dog would suck on a bone so much . Did he have bad luck in his past life? Or did he sell his country in the future?
When he heard this, Kim Woo-jin simply smiled slightly without answering . Beside him, Lee Jin-ah spoke hesitantly .
“So what you’re saying is that I can eat as much as I want today right?”
“That’s right . ”
“Can I have beef?”
“As much as you like . ”
“Can I have Korean beef?”
“That’s not a bad idea . ”
At that moment Lee Jin-ah shouted to the driver .
“Take us to the most expensive Korean beef restaurant nearby . ”
Kim Woo-jin smiled slightly as he saw him acting more excited than ever .
-Hey, Jin-ah! Don’t forget to pack up the leftover meat alright? At least 10 servings should be packed away .
“Ah, of course . I’ll also bring some ssamjang(1) . ”
-Right, I trust you Jin-ah .
“Trust me . ”
-I really believe you . Make sure to bring the expensive parts .
“Naturally . ”
-And you can’t forget the lettuce and other side dishes…
Kim Woo-jin stopped paying attention as the conversation between the two became much deeper and more serious .
“Please give me the dungeon report . ”
Instead, he asked Oh Se-chan’s subordinate for the report of the dungeon that would be the location for the test .
“Yes, here it is . ”
The subordinate immediately handed over the report .
“That’s a good attitude . As your interviewer, I’ll give you a pass! From now on, you will be our new teammate!”
Then Lee Jin-ah, who had finished discussing his plans with Oh Se-chan, spoke to Kim Woo-jin .
However, Kim Woo-jin shook his head .
“I won’t pass . ”
“Huh?”
“I failed this test . ”
“What bullshit is that? Don’t you have to pass this time to join the party?”
At Lee Jin-ah’s words, Kim Woo-jin looked at him like he was the one who was talking nonsense .
“If I fail this time then Park Yong-wan will invest more in me . ”
“What?”
“It’s better to spend money on someone retaking an exam than train someone else . ”
That was when Lee Jin-ah realised what he was talking about .
‘If Kim Woo-jin died, even hell might refuse to accept him . ’
Lee Jin-ah sincerely felt that Kim Woo-jin who was calmly reading the dungeon report in front of him, was a truly vicious person .
Of course, Lee Jin-ah didn’t know .
[Survive the Black Orcs for 6 days!]
– Floors: 3
– Difficulty: B-
– Maximum Number of Entries: 60
– Requirements: Level 80 or below
– Conditions: Survive the Black Orc Chiefs and their horde for 6 days .
– Reward: None
‘I need to reach level 80 in this dungeon . And Lee Jin-ah Blessing of the River Styx skill needs to go up by another rank . I’ll raise it somehow . ‘
That Kim Woo-jin, who was reading the dungeon report in front of him at that moment, was much more vicious than he thought .
‘If Lee Jin-ah’s Blessing of River Styx is too low, then even he would not be able to survive against the Hatchling . ”
And that Kim Woo-jin was preparing to take him to a place that was even worse than hell .
“But I need to check again . Can I really eat as much meat as I want today?”
“Sure . ”
“Kuh! So it turns out that you’re a good guy after all .
Kim Woo-jin gave Lee Jin-ah a smile .
Ignorance was truly bliss .
