Episode 381 Spring of the Sun (1)
The 21st to 29th floors of the Tower of Trials are areas ruled by two great powers.
Empire and Wulin.
This means that only players who have received permission to move the stairs from both forces can cross these stairs and go to the 30th floor.
And of course… … .
Jinhyuk and the players belonging to Goinmul Corporation were free from those restrictions and were able to freely cross the stairs.
Currently, players belonging to the Titan Guild were gathered in a secret underground bunker located in Washington, USA.
“Whoa….”
“hmm…….”
A long sigh followed in the conference room.
Lying down on a soft chair was a man of solid build with long blond hair all white.
It was Snyder, the leader of the Titan Guild’s top internal strategy team and an S-class ranker.
In addition, on the other side of the screen, rankers from Japan’s ‘Samurai’ and China’s new guild ‘Heavenly Soul’ were seen, including the Olympus guild, which suffered a major blow to its image due to the 20th floor raid.
Everyone attended the meeting to discuss important issues.
Snyder opened his mouth, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
“In the end, in order to climb up the 20th floor with ease, you need permission from player Jinhyuk Kang.”
Yes.
Each guild also wanted to monopolize the tower’s various resources and numerous opportunities.
Faster than anyone else.
However, that dream had to be abandoned by the enormous power of Goinmul Corporation.
then… … .
The next best option is to sympathize with that force and aim for the second-in-command position.
“It will be difficult to persuade him with anything. Even if you give him hundreds of millions of dollars for the right to go to the upper levels of the tower, it will be a loss.”
“Well, even if it were me, I wouldn’t share it with anyone. Unless you’re an idiot, the same goes for anyone.”
Monopolizing information is common sense among common sense.
There was no way that Kang Jin-hyuk, no one else, knew that.
“Or, how about recognizing Goinmul Corporation as an equal relationship at the national level?”
Extraterritoriality and full autonomy.
In short, it means promising to be treated the same as the head of a country.
Due to enormous capital and lobbying, the 7 major guilds already enjoyed such authority, but Jinhyeok, who was so uninterested in power struggles outside the tower, did not pay any attention to such matters.
“Sure, that might be kind of attractive.”
“Because you can’t just stay in the tower forever.”
Everyone nodded, saying it wasn’t a bad offer.
After fighting a battle in the tower, you have to return to reality and lead a life outside the tower.
Although it is a kimchi soup, there may be a case in the distant future where all stairs of the tower are conquered.
If you think about that time, the conditions put forward by the 7 major guilds are not light at all.
Because it meant that an individual would have national-level power in his or her hands.
“That’s ridiculous!”
As soon as I finished speaking, someone intervened.
Anger and jealousy oozed from his hard face.
Master of the Gandhara Guild. ‘Nirasha’.
He is an Indian ranker who gave up everything to become stronger after being defeated by Jinhyeok in Empire.
“It looks like Nirasha doesn’t like you.”
“Of course! Everyone holds that scumbag up as if he is something, but he’s a complete fraud! Besides, what’s so nice about being nice to a guy who only knows how to stab other people in the back? If you don’t want to get hit hard later, you should pay attention to what I say. sun.”
Nirasha was usually cool-headed and cold, and was nicknamed the Ice Witch.
But, you’re so excited that you don’t even use honorifics.
It looks like quite a lot has accumulated.
“I heard that India lost a lot of rankers, and that was true.”
Yang Qian, who represented Heavenly Soul, clicked his tongue.
“It is foolish to try to ruin a great cause due to personal feelings. In fact, how many times has Jinhyeok Kang saved us from danger? He is not a competitor, but a benefactor. It is a huge gift that cannot be repaid even if we spend our whole lives. “He is a hero who bestowed grace.”
Takeshi, the samurai guild’s false prophet, also defended Jinhyeok.
In fact, the biggest reason for holding this meeting was Takeshi’s future vision.
“In the future I see, Jinhyeok Kang must be there.”
For the future of humanity.
If I had to pick just one person, it would have to be Jinhyuk.
Takeshi represented the samurai and drew a line.
“Everyone is right. We can’t give up the overall interest just because our guild is disappointed. The meeting with player Jinhyeok Kang will proceed as scheduled.”
“Just wait and see. This decision. You will definitely regret it.”
Nirasha smiled coldly.
“Regret? So, you’re saying that taking that side is the way to not regret it?”
Snyder asked back as if he was dumbfounded.
“Well, we’ll find out in a little while. Who was in line wrong?”
‘Apostle of Balance.’
‘Thousand Ages’, a collection of ‘Hinduism’ and ‘Vedas’ created by the great deities of India, including Shiva.
and.
One of the apostles they finally chose a few days ago was Nirasha.
“You are so proud to have been chosen by a god. Even if you don’t be so sarcastic, this project will be completed successfully. Even if you don’t, I have at least one secret move prepared.”
At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to one side.

One corner of the conference room.
There was a person sitting who gave off a somewhat unique atmosphere.
Just one chance.
If Jinhyuk rejects this offer… … .
At that time, you can use this card.
＊＊＊
Three days have passed since the 20th floor attack was completed.
The request received from Ragnarok is to obtain materials to protect Yggdrasil.
Among them, the one Jinhyuk was in charge of was a special item called ‘Fountain of the Sun’.
“Hmm….”
Jinhyuk, who was walking along near Seokchon Lake, stroked his chin.
It was nice to finally enjoy a holiday outside the tower, but now that I was about to go to a troublesome place, there were many things to think about.
‘For the first time in a while, I’ll have to relax and sort out a strategy first.’
The Spring of the Sun exists in a labyrinth located on the 23rd floor of the tower, and obtaining the key to enter this place was extremely difficult.
Moreover, even if they succeeded in entering the inside, the gate guardian guarding the labyrinth would not suffer any damage unless the attack pattern was specific.
‘It means that Thor and Loki didn’t entrust it to me for nothing.’
In the first place, the two did not even know the exact location of the Spring of the Sun.
By the way, Cheon Yu-seong, when will this idiot come?
It’s already been an hour since I said I would only feed stray cats.
I hope it ends up like this and gets eaten by hungry cats… … .
But that was exactly when I thought about it.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … Squeak.
A black Mercedes S-Class stopped next to Jinhyuk.
It was a special vehicle that seemed unusual at first glance, even being equipped with bulletproof equipment.
Shake!
When the door opened, a man with stylishly blond hair appeared.
It’s a face I know.
Because I’ve already seen it several times through the media.
‘Snyder’ from Titan Guild.
He is an S-class player with long-distance sniper skills.
Smile.
Snyder, with the softest smile on his face, took out a business card from his pocket.
“Nice to meet you. Player Jinhyeok Kang, I belong to the American Titan Guild….”
“I enjoyed watching the video of him in action in the Bellemos Labyrinth. His ability to keep boss monsters in check from a distance was truly outstanding.”
“……No, did you see that?”
Snyder put the business card back with a humble expression.
“Because I carefully check the trends of the top rankers.”
“It’s truly an honor. I never imagined that player Jinhyuk Kang would be interested in it. Haha. Are you just shrugging your shoulders for no reason?”
“So how does a large American guild reach this far away?”
“that is…….”
Snyder looked around.
Because it was so early, there weren’t many people, but there were people jogging from early in the morning.
If you continue talking, you run the risk of being noticed.
Not just anyone else, but especially Jinhyuk.
“Why don’t we go somewhere else and talk? We’ve rented out a floor of the hotel.”
“I’m sorry, but there’s someone waiting. I don’t think I’ll be able to leave.”
“I can’t help it. Then… I’ll just get to the point quickly.”
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Snyder quickly spoke.
“I heard that Goinmul Corporation currently has authority over stairway movement from the Empire and Wulin.”
I knew it.
I thought I would bring up that story.
Well, once the 20th floor was surpassed, it was only a matter of time before a large guild contacted me.
“If you want passage to the upper levels… you probably know that it doesn’t cost anything in return, right?”
“Anyway, would you have come with a small amount of money from us? If you give us what we want, we will guarantee you a blank check, extraterritorial rights, and a visa that allows you to work freely in any country.”
Snyder added a quick word.
“If possible… it wouldn’t be a bad idea to obtain citizenship of a powerful country that can accommodate Kang Jin-hyeok.”
Whether it’s 1 trillion, 10 trillion, or 100 trillion.
All you have to do is write in numbers and submit it, and it will be converted into dollars.
The remaining two powers were also too many privileges for one individual to have.
So much so that I accepted it without even thinking about it.
however.
That’s a story that only applies to ordinary people.
“Hmm. If it’s money other than coins, I’m not interested. And since there won’t be a force that can touch me right now, the same goes for the rest.”
To Jinhyuk, all of that felt meaningless.
“B-but…!”
“For example, if I commit a crime in the United States… can you detain me there?”
Short and light question.
However, the weight of that question was by no means light.
Even if we mobilize the full power of the Titan Guild, will we be able to subdue the monster in front of us?
No, even if we mobilize all the rankers from not only the Titan Guild but also the large guilds that gathered three days ago?
… … It won’t be easy.
The results were definitely unspeakable.
“Jinhyuk Kang… I already know that you are a great player. There was also a strong recommendation from Mr. Takeshi.”
but.
“According to the official count, the Goinmul Corporation consists of only about ten people. Do you really think that it can maintain its maximum power with just these people?”
“I think you’re completely mistaken…”
Jinhyuk chuckled.
“The reason we have so few people is because there is no need to increase the number.”
A small elite.
If each person has hundreds or thousands of capabilities, there is no reason to inflate the size.
“…….”
Snyder kept his mouth shut after hearing the exact words.
The sword saint that everyone is reluctant to face one-on-one, Cheon Yu-seong, and Saint Teresa, who saved Amsterdam. There was even a silver-haired ranker called Ellis.
The members of Goinmul Corporation were all unrivaled.
‘I wasn’t expecting to be naturalized as an American… … ‘There’s no room for negotiation at all?’
no.
It’s not over yet.
For times like this, didn’t you prepare a hidden card that can stimulate your opponent?
“I can’t do it… I didn’t want to go this far either…”
Snyder nodded toward Mercedes.
OK.
It rattled.
The door opened and someone appeared.
“……!!??”
Lee Chae flashed across Jinhyuk’s eyes.
Because the character Snyder brought in was someone who should never have been here.
fantasy, game,
