Steel eating player chapter 73
〈Secret Police Bureau-2〉

======================

Lee Hyun-wook informed Woo Sung-moon that the location of Okita Kaito’s escape was the basement of the Taesan Guild office building. Thus, the government was planning to have the Taesan guild monitored.

‘Of course, it is difficult to destroy Taesan with this alone.’

It was impossible to turn the 3rd largest guild in Korea with one evidence.

If Taesan’s side catches it as something they don’t know, it will stop.

However, as much as the government’s sharp eyes will turn to them, they will not be able to move arbitrarily,’I will be able to do my job with them tied up like that… … .’

Lee Hyun-wook’s handbook that organized what would happen in the future, the next date on the list, was approaching.

By the way… … Woo Sung-moon’s side has made an unexpected proposal.

At first glance, it was a grand name for the Special Secret Police Bureau. Woo Sung-moon asked Lee Hyun-wook to take the lead of the organization now. Even when it passed the legendary item’Fugin’.

Lee Hyun-wook was somewhat confused by the outrageous proposal.

“Can you explain what kind of organization it is and why I should be in charge?”

Accordingly, Woo Sung-moon began to explain the necessity of such an organization.

At the time of the 4th wave, it was not known to the public that the unidentified forces that attacked the 1st Battalion and that they moved as if they had become one with a monster, but only the government agencies including Woo Sung-moon knew. Therefore, the government was also secretly investigating the case.

However, just a few days after that, the “demon summons” and “attempt to assassinate the saints” occurred.

“This made it clear. A huge, unknown force is targeting this country.”

In fact, it wasn’t targeting this country, but the whole world, but it didn’t matter.

“But we don’t know who they are, so we’re going to create a secret investigation agency to pursue those forces. It’s now tentatively called the Special Secret Police Bureau……I want you to take over.”

Woo Sung-moon wasn’t aware of it correctly yet, but now, he was saying that he would chase Villain. And he made a bold decision to entrust the handle of the organization to an outsider, Lee Hyun-wook.

Well, in recent years, the government’s surveillance network has not been functioning properly.

If Lee Hyun-wook did not appear, it could have been a real big failure… … .

It was Lee Hyun-wook who even traced the escaped Okita Kaito.

‘… … No matter how much a national intelligence agency is, it can’t be faster than me by knowing what they really are.’

Thus, Woo Sung-moon put aside his pride and expressed his intention to lean on Lee Hyun-wook.

“Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, I can give you the right to do nothing.”

In a way, Lee Hyun-wook was honestly a bit embarrassed by the unconventional suggestion that he would outsource the role of counter-intelligence agency.

‘Because Woo Seong-moon’s full support following Saint-nyeo… … .’

In an instant, Lee Hyun-wook’s huge wings were attached to both shoulders.

‘But Woo Sung-moon… … The sense of purpose is very clear.’

Only the comfort of the Republic of Korea, if it fits in it, will be the best help, but if it deviates a little, it may turn around or become a hindrance, so moving according to taste was limited.

If a saint is a compliant wing, then Woosungmun is a wing that only flies in the direction he wants.

And when I become the person in charge of this, it becomes awkward for Lee Hyun-wook to move personally.

Being part of a large organization is inevitably subject to the interference of a higher rank.

‘Even if it doesn’t, there are many things to do in the future. That’s an opportunity I can’t give up.’

‘So this suggestion should be accepted in a reasonable way.’

Lee Hyun-wook seemed to be worried, then opened his mouth.

“Thank you for placing me high enough to entrust me with such an important task. but… … . I don’t think I’m sitting in the general seat of the director. I don’t have that ability.”

“Hmm…… didn’t you completely command the Steel Company in Wave 4 already?”

Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.

“I was lucky enough to deal with such a temporary incident, but in the long run, isn’t it another problem to drag the organization? I was active on the battlefield, not my desk.”

“Mr. Woo, please give me a position in the secret organization where I can play an appropriate role. Then, as a freelancer, I will usually do my job and come out when necessary.”

Woo Sung-moon pondered for a moment at the words.

‘Also… … It’s really a sure will to be a perfect freelancer.’

Woo Sung-moon just said that he was a “freelancer” or a “contractor” when he made the proposal, but the appointment of Lee Hyun-wook as the head of an organization was intended to make the government put all his minds on the government in some way.

However, Lee Hyun-wook avoided even the subtlety of Woo Sung-moon.

‘However… … It is enough just to bring out Lee Hyun-wook’s cooperation.’

Woo Sung-moon knew that this man would not neglect the threat posed to this country.

On the other hand, Lee Hyun-wook also thought that it was a significant advantage to belong to the Special Secret Police Bureau.

‘In simple terms, it means that you can have a tremendous information advantage.’

It would be a great weapon above all to keep the villains from taking control of the land.

‘Yes, before the 4th wave, when Woo Sung-moon was alive, the villains could not easily penetrate.’

After the 4th wave, the Republic of Korea shook and Woosungmun weakened, and Villain took over this land.

However, the worst domino, called the 4th wave, was stopped by Lee Hyun-wook.

‘If so, from now on, that domino… … Conversely, I knock it down.’

With this strength, it could have completely eliminated the villain’s forces from this land.

“Sergeant Lee, all right. If so, I would like you to act as the head of the subordinate department of the organization.”

Woo Seong-moon reached out and Lee Hyun-wook met.

“Yes, I will do what I can to make sure that no force can shake the country.”

It wasn’t something that came from my heart, but it was certainly something I liked Woo Sung-moon.

Meanwhile, Kim Gang-seok, who was listening to the conversation, stuck his tongue out.

‘Lee Hyun-wook… … You’ve completely left my hand… … .’

Now, Lee Hyun-wook, who once thought he was a talent to raise as an officer, was embarrassingly a huge tycoon. On the other hand, Kim Gang-seok was proud, but he felt some kind of bitterness.

***

And the very next day, a seizure search for the Taesan guild office began.

‘Woo Sung-moon properly pulled the knife.’

The title was’Bunch Accounting’. I couldn’t tell why Okita Kaito’s last location was detected here. It meant that all cards were drawn out from the beginning.

‘I will continue to fight psychologically, but I will cut it down little by little.’

If Woo Seong-moon decides to harass the Taesan guild, he will be able to shake it off very persistently.

‘Okay, in the meantime, I do my job.’

Lee Hyun-wook was planning to devote himself to developing his own growth and trustworthy power relatively comfortably. Of course, if the government asked for assistance, he would have to run, but not immediately.

Lee Hyun-wook opened a notebook after a long time.

-October 11th, Guro-gu, Oak Gate, and potential items will appear

‘How can I do well… … Can I get this?’

Lee Hyun-wook remembered all the benefits he could take in the future and wrote it down.

However, most of them were forced to give up for various reasons.

This Gurogu Orc Gate item was the same, but I came up with a way to solve it.

‘I have to go out somehow today.’

Lee Hyun-wook was now free to leave the camp. As he cooperated with the head of the agency directly under the president, there was no need to be bound by rules like a soldier.

That afternoon, Lee Hyun-wook visited Shin-gil’s 〈Guild of Hope〉 office.

“Hyung, hasn’t anything happened in the meantime?”

The Hope Guild has met with Zumonarae, who has become the parent guild, and once said that they were put into the dungeon attack as their auxiliary role… … Other than that, there was no job to do.

“Well, the guild body suddenly increased, and I am worried about whether I can handle this…”

In a few days, Park Chul-soo felt desperately that his shoulders were getting heavier.

“You don’t have to worry about money even if you don’t know anything else.”

“haha… … That’s a really strong word, thank you.”

Soon a huge amount of money will come in.

Most of the rewards taken during the 4th wave were Lee Hyun-wook. Of course, some compensation will be paid back to those who fought with him at the time, but anyway, his next $90 million—about 100 billion won and three hero-grade weapons, and… … .

‘… … Crab Volg, that legendary item is also given.’

However, it was delayed somewhat, as distributing such a large sum was not going to happen within a few days.

‘And there’s even support from the Saints’ side, so there won’t be any damn thing because you don’t have money.’

Lee Hyun-wook said that, but Park Cheol-soo’s expression did not improve.

“By the way, Hyunwook, I have a few things I want to discuss with you… … .”

“Huh?”

“We, we have grown in size, but I don’t know if my sales force will be able to…

In simple terms, the guild’s job meant’the right to attack the dungeon’.

And it’s not Park’s fault in the first place. It was difficult for small and medium-sized guilds to obtain a “dungeon attack right”. Giant guilds are dominating almost all pies, and small and medium-sized guilds only subcontracted under them. In fact, examples were “porter”, “gunman” or “dungeon dismantling group” as a mischief.

In other words, the Guild of Hope was also destined to continue such a role.

By the way… … .

“Oh, I was just going to say this, but I’ll probably get a dungeon ticket within three to four days.”

At Lee Hyun-wook’s words, Park Cheol-soo’s eyes widened.

“… … Huh? Where did you have something to bid on an unowned gate?”

“No, it’s not a bid.”

“Then, where are you going to get the right to attack the dungeon? There’s no corner that comes to mind…….”

Lee Hyun-wook took something out of his arms.

-Fire: Catherine YO

That was Yu-na’s business card.

“What, the Cheonghwa Guild…… Catherine Yu, is the head of the Seoul attack?”

Lee Hyun-wook called her number.

Several calls go… … ,

– Yeah-

As expected, an elegant voice, Yu Yu-na, answered the phone.

“Catherine, this is Hyun-wook Lee. Remember?”

Then, he seemed a little embarrassed by the momentary silence, perhaps unexpected contact.

-Oh, who is this, isn’t Seoul’s savior? How did you reach out to me? Ah- I guess you’ve got a lot of name now, I’m thinking of joining our Cheonghwa Guild… … .

“haha… … It’s not.”

After all, it seemed that he did not break his will to scout Lee Hyun-wook.

-… … So, what is it?

“We made a bet, you remember?”

-…….

Red Gate, which was opened in Cheongdam-dong, at that time, Lee Hyun-wook and Yu Yeon-na made a bet.

Which side of Cheonghwa’s attack team or AMT’s special attack platoon catches the boss monster first—

The winner of the bet was Lee Hyun-wook, and Yu Hyeon-na was resentful and told him to say what he wanted.

And Lee Hyun-wook hasn’t mentioned the requirements yet.

“Because I have something I want to ask for as a reward for that bet.”

***

It was clear why the Cheonghwa Guild was called the No. 1 guild in Korea.

It has the most players and closes the most gates each year.

And Yu Yu-na, head of Cheonghwa’s Seoul Strategy Division, oversees the strategy team in the area in charge of Seoul.

Lee Hyun-wook was sitting in her office now.

“… … So now, are you asking me to hand over the right to attack the dungeon?”

“Yes, that’s right. You only need one.”

Lee Hyun-wook demanded her right to attack one dungeon as a reward for the bet.

“Hah, why the hell… Did you even set up a guild?”

Lee Hyun-wook shrugged and did not explain.

“Catherine, I remember you proudly told me to say anything last time. The attack right is okay?”

“… … Do you know how much money you make in a dungeon and say so easily?”

At that, Lee Hyun-wook leaned on the sofa and nodded.

“Ah, did you think Cheonghwa’s bet was not at this level? I’m a little misunderstood.”

It was something that gently stimulated her vanity.

“What, what? When you were praised as the savior of Seoul, you seem to have been a little contributing.”

The sharpening of her tone meant that she had properly stimulated vanity, and in other words, her peculiar desire to conquer had begun to soar. In other words, Lee Hyun-wook properly stabbed.

“…….”

Yue-na seemed to worry for a moment, then put down the teacup nervously and folded her arms.

“Ha- No matter how much, it’s a little bit like giving over a whole dungeon attack ticket. Two for a joint strategy with us, how about this? For a new guild, it’s better to have more experience, right?”

Lee Hyun-wook looked like he was worried for a moment.

The remains, and what this woman cares about wasn’t the item from the dungeon.

It was very famous for the number of dungeon attacks per year, that is, sticking to the achievements within the guild.

‘In other words, I am passionate about competing with my brothers.’

The Cheonghwa Guild’s succession competition was famous for being fierce.

In that respect, Yu Ha-na seemed to hate her performance diminishing even a little.

On the other hand, it might be possible to try to pick up Lee Hyun-wook by putting in a talented person during a joint attack… … .

‘Whatever the reason, this is better.’

Thanks to Yue-na’s trick, it seemed that he would eat 1 dungeon and 2 dungeons.

“… … good. It was a bet, so please be careful. It’s because we’re the first strategy.”

“Oh, yes. I will help the new guilds to see and learn.”

After reaching the agreement, Lee Hyun-wook stood up.

Shortly after he returned, Yoshino called someone.

Some big man came to her office.

“Married couple, did you call?”

“……Team leader Moo-han Park, what’s the ranking now?”

“I, B-tier 1 tier, 151st.”

In other words, this man was the 151st most powerful player in Korea.

He was the highest ranked player among the players under the control of Yu Yu-na,

As a fighting player, he was able to fight one-on-one with Ogres, and he possessed tremendous power.

“Well, in a few days, you’ll have to enter the C-level gate.”

Moohan Park couldn’t hide his surprised expression.

“Yes? Why would I be there… … .”

Suddenly, he was told to attack a gate that was not suited to his level, so he had no choice but to worry that he would be relegated out of his eyes.

Yue-na explained to him what he did.

Then, Moo-han Park’s face spread out.

“Ah! Commander of the Iron Company… … Wow, is that person doing a joint attack with us?”

“Yes, it’s an F grade, but let’s take a closer look at how the hell can do such great things.”

Lee Hyun-wook is currently an F-class player, but it is only known that he has a certain level of ability increase by accumulating achievements, and that he is an out-of-level growth characteristic has not been revealed yet.

“Haha— What would be different if you accumulated a few achievements?”

Park Moo-han was in a state of contributing all at once.

“Manager, I don’t believe that F-Class can do that. Steel rain… … haha… … .”

The commander of the Steel Company is paying the steel rain. The rumors have already spread, but in the fourth wave area, all electronic equipment has been jammed, so there are no data left.

So, quite a few’rankers’ were still suspicious of the ridiculous performance of the F grade.

“… … Manager Park, don’t be vigilant. You said I was a special mission?”

“Oh, of course! I’ll always be nervous! How great would an F-class be?”

Yu Hyeon-na nodded, but did not shave Lee Hyun-wook like Park Moo-han.

He had already ignored the man several times, but, as always, he only became embarrassed.

‘That person, something different… … It’s F-class, didn’t you cheat?’

***

Three days later, an oak gate occurred in Oryu 1-dong, Guro-gu.

However, not all oak gates were on the same level. It was a dungeon with more than 1,000 boss monsters, presumed to be the “warchief”, as the “Orc Champion” appeared during the first eruption.

For a safe attack, 80 players with an average of C grade 1 or higher were required.

Lee Hyun-wook pointed to the gate and obtained the first joint attack right according to the contract with Hae-na.

‘This gate holds an unexpected treasure. Hephaestus’ hammer… … .’

I thought I could get that latent item someday.

However, I was thinking of using a different route, not ‘farming’ directly.

As it is the area that the Cheonghwa Guild is in charge of, Lee Hyun-wook will not be able to fit it.

‘By the way, there will be opportunities like this… … .’

And at 3 pm, the guild’s attack team arrived in front of the Orc Gate.

Including Lee Hyun-wook, Lee Jung-jun and his colleagues, total 18 players.

On the other hand, the Cheonghwa Guild who came first had a total of 51 target teams.

“… … No, only 18 people make sense?”

They looked toward the guild of hope with eyes full of caution.

“Damn, I should have recognized it from the time I said that a guild with no name is wearing it…….”

From the moment the two groups started to “join together,” they were not able to see each other well. Also, the fact that they were quite good at fighting with a new guild without a name was very bad.

“So who among them would be the best hero of that steel company? Remember the face?”

“Well, hey, looks like that man? Isn’t that…….”

Of course, the name Lee Hyun-wook made them interesting, but even though it is 18 people… … .

When they were complaining about it, a scene that they couldn’t understand unfolded.

“… … What else is that?”

Beep— Beep—

Somehow, a trailer loaded with containers was pulling into a narrow alley.

“No, what the hell did you bring that big truck?”

Really, it looked like I couldn’t understand them all.

“Wow…… it’s crazy, really…… who is using the trailer to attack the dungeon?”

“It’s my first strategy, so I’m scared, so I’m afraid I’ve got all this and that? It’s a characteristic of beginners.”

When entering the’dungeon’ inside the gate, it was foolish to put in a lot of things.

It is not known what the environment is inside, and materials that weigh a lot are literally luggage, so the attack team takes the least equipment and the least bulky food.

At that time, the container on the trailer opened slightly.

“Oh, I can see it!”

Cheonghwa’s attack team could see the inside.

There were twelve square metal boxes inside it.

“Did you just see that? What was it?”

“I don’t know, it’s my first time seeing it… Isn’t it just like a moving box?”

That wasn’t the end.

Then another trailer arrived.

And in it… … .

“Wow, that’s all living armor, right?”

“Okay, I think it’s well over twenty… Why do you need that?”

Living armor, which seemed to stop working, was equipped with a whopping 22 units.

However, no matter how much I thought about it, there was no way to use them. Even if a magician with a considerable grade used the “control magic”, he couldn’t do more than three at the same time.

“What, something weird…….”

They were expected to soon face a strategy they had never experienced before.
