The top floor of the Phoenix Guild headquarters was originally an ordinary office, but it had been decorated so much that it now looked more like a penthouse .
It was so enchanting, that fantasizing that it could be their home was one of the guilty pleasures of all those who managed to enter it .
However, the expression on the face of the owner of said penthouse was anything but happy .
“So you failed?”
As he said this, Park Yong-wan stared at Kim Woo-jin who was standing in front of him .
His eyes, colder than ever .
Any ordinary person would be terrified by the sight .
This player, Park Yong-wan, was already a monster that could not be dealt with using modern weapons .
“Didn’t I order you to pass somehow?”
“Sorry . ”
So it was only natural for Kim Woo-jin to bow his head to him .
However, Park Yong-wan frowned when he saw this .
“If it weren’t for the fact that you were the one who advised me to invest in Isaac Ivanov, I would not have even bothered to see your face . ”
“Sorry . ”
“I don’t want your apologies, let me hear your excuses . You didn’t even prepare an excuse, did you?”
Only then did Kim Woo-jin lift his head and start speaking .
“He recognized the power of my poison . But he criticized my lack of versatility . ”
“Is that your only excuse?”
“I was asked if I could help when I was needed . ”
When he heard those words, Park Yong-wan relaxed a little .
“So that means he’s keeping you as an option?”
“Yes . ”
Park Yong-wan’s expression also softened a bit .
‘So it’s not that he’s not interested . ’
To be honest, when Park Yong-wan first heard that Kim Woo-jin had failed to join Isaac Ivanov’s party, he’d wondered what to do with him .
Whether to throw him away, give him to someone else, or sell his services .
“Hmm . ”
However, now that he’d heard the whole situation, it seemed that Isaac Ivanov did not completely give up on Kim Woo-jin .
“A sub…”
As he’d said before, Isaac Ivanov was willing to take Kim Woo-jin if it was necessary .
This meant that although he wasn’t in the first group, he was still treated as though he was in the second group .
In other words, this meant that if he could show something more, it was possible for him to join the first group .
‘What should I do?’
Of course, Park Yong-wan did not intend to start investing more in Kim Woo-jin for just that reason .
Park Yong-wan was the type of person who would not hesitate to get rid of something or someone after they had become useless .
At least, that was what the type of person that the Park Yong-wan, that Kim Woo-jin knew, was .
A human being who made decisions based only on his own interests without hesitation .

It was for this very same reason that he had been able to sell his country without hesitation .
“It seems that Isaac Ivanov is likely to…”
So Kim Woo-jin pulled out another card that he’d prepared .
“…leave his current guild . ”
“What?”
And Park Yong-wan’s expression changed completely due to how shocking this card was .
“What are you talking about?”
“I heard him mention the addition of tanks and wizards during conversations he had with his teammate in Russian . Their conversation was about needing a new tank and about needing more firepower . ”
“They want to recruit more party members?”
“As far as I can tell, they don’t intend to get any support from the Mokosh Guild that they’re a part of . That’s no different from leaving the guild isn’t it?”
At that moment, Park Yong-wan began doing calculations in his head .
‘This…’
Isaac Ivanov’s value had grown beyond description, so many guilds were coveting him at this point .
No, it was more than simply coveting, they were willing to pay a tremendous price just to get the name Isaac Ivanov associated with their guilds .
How much would it be worth if they got a chance to recruit Isaac Ivanov?
But Park Yong-wan soon shook his head .
‘No, Isaac Ivanov is unlikely to move to another guild . Otherwise, he would have done so by now . ’
When you look at his past actions and the progress that he’d made, the chances of Isaac Ivanov joining another guild were extremely low .
‘He won’t leave his guild . Instead, after forming his own party, it’s highly likely that he’ll keep acting the same way . ’
It was highly likely that Isaac Ivanov would continue attacking dungeons as a party together with other guilds .

At least, that’s what Park Yong-wan thought .
‘That’s why he tested Kim Woo-jin . ’
Furthermore, he could now understand why Isaac Ivanov was interested in Kim Woo-jin .
‘Right, he’s preparing to enter 4 Floor dungeons . In 4 Floor dungeons, there are a lot of monsters who can’t be handled with just physical force . ’
When he reached this conclusion, Kim Woo-jin’s value in Park Yong-wan’s mind increased a little .
“If you have one more chance, are you confident that you can pass?”
Kim Woo-jin responded to his question without hesitation .
“It is absolutely impossible for me right now . ”
“And when you level up?”
“It’s not something that kind of problem . Isaac Ivanov’s strength is on a different level compared to mine . It’s not something I can reach simply by leveling up . ”
“What if you had better items?”
“If you have such items then it would be better to just give them to Isaac Ivanov . ” (TL: hehe)
Park Yong-wan nodded at the cold yet rational answer .
‘He understands the situation well . ’
If Kim Woo-jin had declared that he could do it with poor determination, then Park Yong-wan would have abandoned him immediately .
However, even at such a time, Kim Woo-jin was able to make a cool calculation .
He had tried to figure out just why he failed to pass the qualification test .
“Then what do you think?”
This meant that he must know how to pass .

“It’s true that my poison adds to Isaac Ivanov’s ability . But he wants more than that . He doesn’t want one plus one to equal two . He wants a synergy that makes it become three . ”
Park Yong-wan smiled at his words .
‘It seems that I am quite lucky . ’ (TL:…you forgot the ‘un’)
With that smile on his face, Park Yong-wan picked up an envelope from the desk in front of him .
“This was supposed to be your reward when you passed . ”
From it, he pulled out a golden skill page .
[Corpse Poison(屍毒)]
– Condition: Emissary of the Underworld
– Required Level: Level 70 or above
– Effect: Quickly decompose a corpse to create poison . The higher the skill rank, the stronger the corpse poison, and the faster it’s created .
It was a unique skill, Corpse Poison .
“This is an advanced payment . ”
Park Yong-wan handed the page to Kim Woo-jin as he said .
“You must pass . There is no other option . ”
However, Kim Woo-jin did not take the skill page but instead asked a question .
“But how are you going to get a chance from Isaac Ivanov?”
“That’s what I need to worry about, you just focus on what you need to do . ”
These words were basically the last notice .
Only then did Kim Woo-jin stop asking questions .
“I will change Isaac Ivanov’s mind somehow . ”
He then accepted the skill page with overflowing determination .
