Chapter 47: Progress (1)
Chapter 47: Progress (1)
Countless crowds followed Jun-woo.
Somehow, Jun-woo led them to the office of Lewis.
Jeong Hye-Yeon, who was in Louise's office, came out with a face that looked like she was about to burst into tears and ran to Jun-woo, who was approaching her.
"SIR!"
"long-time ."
Jeong Hye-Yeon hugged Jun-woo tightly and cried.
"Ugh Are you okay now? Sir?"
"Oh, yes, it's fine. Let's go in ."
"Ah, yes ."
Eumeria, who looked at it from behind, frowned slightly.
"Dad is popular."
"What is that girl?"
"It will be on our side. But it's too weak."
Jun-woo went into Lewis's office and looked back.
Seeing Leon with one more head sticking out, Jun-woo gave the order.
[Leon, Eumeria, I will send someone to you, so go to the cafe over there and sit quietly.]
Thanks to the alchemist's knowledge, Jun-woo could command the golem he had made with just a ritual.
Leon and Eumeria went straight to the cafe and sat down.
After sitting without an order for over twenty minutes, a staff member approached me and asked.
"Are you a guest over there?"
Leon and Eumeria looked at the staff.
"Can I help you with the order?"
Leon asked.
"order?"
"Yes, sir. You have to order a drink and drink it."
"Oh yeah? Give me that too."
"If you say that Are you talking about iced americano?"
"yes."
"Can I have one?"
Eumeria replied.
"Yeah."
Coffee was made, and the staff called for Leon and Eumeria, but they only looked out the window.
"The guest over there ."
The staff brought coffee and put it on the table as if nothing special.
"How can I help you with the calculations?"
"Calculation?"
"Gold, cash, or credit cards are acceptable."
They had no gold.
Instead, there were countless crafting materials.
"Can I give you adamantium?"
"The guest material item is ."
Leon took out an adamantium and held it out.
"If it's not enough, I'll give you more."
"Oh, no thank you!"
The price of Adamantium rose to over 5 million gold.
A thousand cups of coffee was enough to drink.
"If you need anything more, please tell me!"
Leon looked around at the people around him and put his mouth to the straw-like them.
Upon inhalation, all liquid in the cup disappeared instantly, leaving only ice in the cup.
"Oh, it's delicious. Give me one more!"
At Leon's sudden cry, the eyes of the cafe people turned to Leon.
"Feel free."
And some people laughed.
"Bon appetit."
"Wait, just give me four more."
The staff hurriedly brought 4 of them and put them on the table.
Eumeria also took out one of them, drank it, and nodded.
"It's delicious."
Leon frowned and looked at Eumeria.
"Why are you eating? I did it differently."
"Didn't you see the boss sharing something?"
"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry."
Leon drank 12 cups of coffee while sitting.
"Give me that, that, that!"
Leon started eating cheesecake and chocolate cake without any choice.
"Well Shall I stop eating?"
Leon stopped only after 30 plates of cake pieces had piled up on the table.
Then a woman approached.
"there Leon-sama, Eumeria-sama?"
"Who is it?"
"Who are you?"
The woman was Jung Hye-Yeon's friend and Lewis's counselor.
"Ah, I'm Na-Rin Park, who works as a counselor for Louise. The representative told me to take the two of you to the hotel."
"yes?"
Jun-woo gave the order while looking at the cafe through the window sill.
[Leon, Eumeria. Let me follow a person named Na-rin Park.]
Immediately, Leon and Eumeria rose.
"Let's go."
"Yes, this way ."
Jun-woo sent Leon and Eumeria to the hotel and asked Hye-Yeon Jeong.
"Hyeyeon, have you ever taken tutoring?
Hyeyeon Jeong was a graduate of Seoul National University.
"Yeah? Yes. I once did a little part-time job."
"Have you tried it in the lower grades of elementary school?"
"No, middle and high school students That's why ."
"I'd like to ask you for some tutoring. No, education."
Jeong Hye-Yeon asked, seemingly puzzled.
"Education?"
"Yes, have you ever heard of homunculus?"
"Yes, I have heard of it."
"I made it."
Jeong Hye-Yeon reacted in disbelief.
"Yes?!"
"I'd like to ask you to teach me for a few days. Because the only person I can trust is Hyeyeon."
"ah Yeah ."
"Let's go."
Jun-woo took Jeong Hye-Yeon to the hotel.
In the hotel room, Leon and Eumeria looked at Jun-woo and Jeong Hye-Yeon as they entered.
"Dad, who is that person?"
"I told you to call me Hyung, Leon."
"Ah, mistake."
"He will educate you."
Hyeyeon Jeong greeted me with an awkward smile.
"Ah, hello ."
"Brother, aren't you too weak to educate us? Are you hiding your mana?"
Jun-woo smiled softly.
"It's not like that. You don't even need to know about this world. You have to know what not to do."
"Um, okay."
"Listen well. I think it is me."
Eumeria replied.
"Okay, sir."
Jun-woo looked at Eumeria with a smile and asked.
"Eumeria, how about coming out?"
"like! There are many things I don't know, so I want to know them one by one."
"thank god. He will help you a lot."
"Yes, I will study hard."
"Then I'll take care of you, Hyeyeon."
Hyeyeon Jeong nodded her head with a worried face.
"I'll try."
And looking at the two of them, he said awkwardly.
"Come on, please. Leon-sama, Eumeria-sama."
"yes."
"Thank you."
Jun-woo looked at his watch and said,
"Then I'm getting training. Don't come out until I call you, and stay here."
"Okay, bro."
"Okay."
As Jun-woo went outside, Eumeria looked at Jeong Hye-Yeon and asked a question.
"Are you and the boss a couple?"
"Oh, no. It's an employee, an employee. Just a staff."
Eumeria said with a bright smile.
"Uh, staff. Like that. Well then, please!"
"Yeah! Eumeria-sama, first ."
Hyeyeon Jeong was at a loss as to where to start.
* * *
There were many reporters and people still standing in the hotel lobby.
As Jun-woo walked between them, the reporter hurriedly asked.
"Were you really locked up in Mt. Gwanggyo?"
Jun-woo looked at the reporter and paused, then answered once.
"Yes, that is correct."
In response to Jun-woo's answer, the reporters began to press the shutter.
When I heard the answer, I thought it was an opportunity, so the question became urgent.
"Are you just out?"
"You said you were in another room. Could you show me?"
"What items did you go to another space?"
Jun-woo walked without answering.
"You've been locked up there for a long time. Don't you resent the government and large guilds?"
Jun-woo didn't answer and ran slightly in the empty direction.
The reporters who could follow them followed, and the ordinary reporters who couldn't keep up sighed.
Jun-woo, who returned to Lewis's office, met Walker.
"I'm glad that you look okay."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Jun-woo was able to hear a little about Jung Hye-Yeon in the past.
"No, I was just doing business. In fact, I secretly bought the Magic Stone."
Magic stone was Jun-woo's primary material.
The number of magic stones Jun-woo will use in the future will be enormous, as he will be used for many robots and homunculus.
"Ah, Ma Jeong-seok Well done."
"Please don't be too resentful. Still, I gave up a lot of money to move to Scudo."
"It's resentment. Thanks to you, I was able to get out safely I owe you a lot. Thank you."
Jun-woo bowed his head to Walker once.
"Like I said, I was just doing business. I think the lost part will be filled enough with this one day. And since there was no battle, Yokichi-sama said that he would return a lot of ingredients, so don't worry too much."
"I don't know how to repay you. Please also say thank you to Fabregas."
Walker asked with a satisfied smile.
"Can you give me a thank-you note with a deal with Fabregas?"
"You mean a deal?"
"It's a deal based on the priority of production."
Priority was usually to make the guild's request the first priority when receiving a production request.
"As you know, countless items are destroyed daily on the front lines, and recipes are sometimes obtained. The work of Russian blacksmiths is always saturated, but in terms of skills, some things are lacking compared to Korea and Japan, and it takes a long time to receive a request. Could it be possible?"
"Oh, I will. Instead, I would like only Epic + Rating. Instead, in return for this incident, I will not receive any commission from the members of the Fabregas Guild."
It was too wasteful for Jun-woo, who had reached level 94, to create an epic.
"Thank you so much for doing that. It will definitely be of great help to the wires. Thanks to you, I will give the Master a shout-out."
"Rather, I thank you for driving the work."
From Epic+ and above, it was a good thing for Jun-woo, who had to expand his business to the world because he lacked a sense of work if he received a request only in Korea.
Walker secretly looked at Jun-woo and asked.
"Perhaps Are you planning to join Fabregas and go to Russia? My mind is focused on the front lines, so I can't say it's better than Korea, but If it's Fabregas, I'll be able to protect Jun-woo."
Jun-woo answered that part without any hesitation.
"Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't speak Russian. sorry."
Jun-woo had no intention of going abroad.
There were many things I wanted to do while remaining in Korea.
Above all, all the quests created in units of 10 levels had to be solved within the gate that did not deviate significantly from Seoul.
Clearly, this was closely related to his occupation and the region.
That was the biggest reason why Jun-woo couldn't leave Korea.
Walker seemed to have his own ideas, so he didn't recommend it anymore.
"Haha, I see."
Jun-woo looked over Walker's right shoulder.
Initially, there was no guild mark on Walker's shoulder.
But it happened.
If the silver shield was Fabregas's guild mark, Walker's guild mark had a + over Fabregas's security.
"By the way, Mr. Walker, what's your relationship with Fabregas?"
"Ah, now you can think of it as doing diplomatic work in Fabregas. I got a dwarf's pocket and went around a lot as a material dealer, so I'm working on a related job. We created this guild because we can no longer accept Fabregas' guild members."
"ah okay."
Although Jun-woo did not know, Walker was a very trusted person within Fabregas.
Walker looked at Jun-woo's hair and said as if wondering.
"Looks like you've been through a lot. I can see some gray hair at the root."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Then let me rest. On behalf of Fabregas, I wish you all the best in the future, Jun-woo."
"Thank you again."
Walker left, and Jun-woo looked at his hair in the mirror.
Soft gray hairs were growing all over the place at the root.
Is it because I haven't been able to eat well?'
beep-
"Sir, people have come from the Blacksmith Association."
"Tell me to come in."
The executives of the Blacksmith's Association entered Jun-woo's representative office.
The President of the association was nowhere to be seen.
Jun-woo knew the reason at first glance.
The President of the Blacksmith's Association tried to apply pressure on the 5th guild to save Jun-woo.
However, three of the vice presidents were Daehan, and many other blacksmiths of the 5th guild, so they did not follow the association president.
The blacksmiths said they were trying to save the dead, accusing the association president of being old and ultimately impeached.
They were the blacksmiths who came here now.
People with the marks of Daehan, Gold Coin, and Water Guild came in.
Lee Sang-Baek, vice president of the association and blacksmith of Daehan, opened his mouth.
"I'm sorry. We thought you were really dead. Otherwise, we would also have agreed with the association's President."
"How is the president of the association?"
"You should win the lottery. They're the ones we're going to kill. I'm really sorry."
They were constantly apologizing.
Jun-woo said bluntly.
"It should never happen again."
"Sure. Don't do that, And Don't leave the studio in a remote place A place is a place, so I watched with my eyes open so they would take care of it."
The vice president of the Geumhwa Association came forward to help.
"Secret workshops in the mountains are dangerous. How about moving to the city center?"
I had to rebuild the workshop quickly.
He hadn't yet decided where to go.
Then, Lee Sang-Baek's phone rang.
"What? I see."
When I hung up the phone, Lee Sang-bank said,
"Can you turn on the TV for a moment?"
Jun-woo turned on the TV in the office.
On the screen was Joo Han-Cheol, the deputy master of Korea and the President of Korea.
"My fellow citizens. I would like to express my deepest apologies for not being able to quickly rescue Korean producer Lee Jun-woo by mistaking the body. In the future, the government will select a special production area to prevent this from happening and cooperate with the five major guilds to protect the producers so that there are no problems for the producers. Once again, I would like to congratulate producer Lee Jun-woo on the safe survival of the military, and I would like to express my deepest apologies."
Silence followed for a moment.
Lee Sang-Baek repeatedly apologized.
"We're really sorry too ."
Lee Sang-Baek looked at Jun-woo's face and said cautiously.
"I know I need to build a new workshop, so how about going over there? It's been a saying for a long time, but now it seems like it's going to be implemented."
When I thought that I was working with the blacksmiths of the 5th guild and making them under their protection, Jun-woo felt disgusted.
They turned away from themselves, and they were a people who would rather have died.
Jun-woo answered calmly.
"I will take care of the workshop. Great success is achieved when it is made in a place that is comfortable for you. Isn't it? Seniors."
They coughed a little at Jun-woo's words that seemed to stand up.
Lee Sang-Baek nodded and said.
"Hmm I don't either However, please don't stay too far from the city center."
Jun-woo didn't really want to hear their advice.
"All right. I have been pushed back by a lot of things, seniors."
"ah yes. I'm going to stop. Anyway, congratulations on your safe return. I'm delighted. It cools well See you again."
"Go in."
Jun-woo lightly lowered his head.
As they went, Jun-woo thought about the location of the workshop.
The mountain has a dangerous side, so I thought of going into the crowded city center.
Jun-woo looked towards Songpa, managed by the Poongrim Guild, the fourth largest in Korea.
His level 80 and level 90 quests were related to the Songpa Gate over there.
-beep.
"The president of the Sewing Association has come."
-beep.
"The president of the Handicrafts Association has arrived."
People came and went without a break.
