Episode 240 Norway (1)

‘Jung Yu-ri will be able to continue to grow steadily in the future because she has Kang Bok-hwa and Master K.’

When I first had to think about this issue, the first thing that came to mind was Jeong Yu-ri.

But even now, she was experiencing explosive growth with the support of her adoptive grandparents.

It would fly better if you gave it wings, but it’s a hunter that already has good wings.

‘Takashi rejects. He lacks trust regardless of investment value. It’s not a good picture.’

In terms of efficiency, it would be nice to push Takashi, but there is no such thing as 100% in everything in the world.

Even though Takashi seems interested in her now, he could turn his back on her at any time.

‘Youngho Ahn also has to.’

An Young-ho, who is receiving full support from the Ricou Guild, is also excluded.

Since he has the solid support of his maternal uncle Fumiya Suzuki, there is no need to try to find a separate way out.

‘Jeon Se-hyeok and Ban Se-young… … .’

It is true that the relationship between the two people has become quite deep.

However, it is difficult to see it as a perfect community of destiny, and Ban Se-young is a gunner with many shortcomings.

If you’re going to push Gunner, Ayane is right.

Of course, her faith is less profound than Takashi’s, so they can’t be more than business partners right now.

‘Dongjae would be better.’

If you organize it, only one person comes out.

Park Dong-jae.

Although Park Dong-jae is being sought after in many places, there are few cases where the essence is truly substantial.

Park Dong-jae will have no regrets when it comes to making money. They say that even hell can bring a capable buffer.

The problem is growth.

In order for Buffer to continue to grow, it is ultimately better to belong to a team that operates with a small number of elite members.

This is because the amount of experience gained increases, but the teams that Park Dong-jae looks for are often multi-team teams.

This is because the more members there are, the greater the total amount of power that increases when attack power is increased by a buff.

Besides, if you are going to pay for buffers and bring them in from outside, it is true that you need a lot of participants to get the most out of it.

Park Dong-jae, you go wherever you are asked to go without saying anything, so you won’t show it, but you will definitely feel regretful about your growth.

It was always comfortable for Kang-hoo because he could play as two people as if he were one when he was with Park Dong-jae.

It maximizes your combat capabilities while eliminating the need to order anything separately.

After making up his mind, Kang-hoo immediately called Park Dong-jae.

I thought he wouldn’t answer the phone because he seemed to be in a dungeon, but Park Dong-jae answered the phone like a knife.

– brother?

“I’m getting a phone call.”

– Where did you install the CCTV? How did you know I just came out?

“Looks like you just came out of a dungeon?”

– Perfect! I was just about to come out and check if I had any calls on my phone when my brother called me!

“The timing was good.”

– What’s going on, bro?

“There’s a dungeon I want to go to with you… … .”

– Definitely call! Where? Where should I go with my brother?

Before I could hear the whole story, Park Dong-jae expressed his intention to participate. Does he know what kind of dungeon it is and say he will do it unconditionally?

“Norway side.”

– First, call! I’m finally going with my brother again! Do you know that? Every time I go to a dungeon or something, I always set aside a day.

“Why is that?”

– Why would you do that? I was just clearing my schedule so I could go right away when my brother contacted me about going somewhere.

“… … .”

I really didn’t know that.

I knew from hearing him say that Park Dong-jae prioritizes his promises and plans with himself.

I also learned that he never forgot the person who saved his life and that he always lived with a grateful heart.

But I didn’t know that you would prepare to this extent.

– Going to dungeons with my brother is the most comfortable. It’s tiring to just empty your head and do the buff shuttle.

“You’ll get more tired if you move with me.”

– I’m the type of person who gets less tired when I use my head. And when I move with my brother, I get more nervous and can concentrate better. I also enjoy organizing the buff board.

Even though I can’t see his face directly, I can already feel Park Dong-jae’s excited voice and expression.

When I went to the mask with Kang Hoo and Park Dong Jae, I liked the feeling of always having a buff and fighting while facing my limits.

Since both sides were satisfied with cooperative play, the story seemed to be picking up speed.

Then, after Kang-hoo gave a brief story and information about the dungeon he would be going to, Park Dong-jae called to meet him.

Since Kang-hoo had already reached an agreement with the Guru Guild, there was no reason to delay.

We immediately decided on a meeting place.

Since I have to go to Incheon Airport to catch an international flight to Norway anyway.

It seemed that both he and Park Dong-jae had to go up to Seoul first. The meeting would take place there.

* * *

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae met at a bus terminal where it was easy to catch an airport limousine to Incheon Airport.

The relevant information had already been shared before we arrived, so we were able to discuss it right away when we met.

In fact, the information shared with Park Dong-jae was known to the public and was of no use to Kang-hoo.

Besides, this dungeon had so many internal attack routes that a specific attack method didn’t really matter.

And only the attack routes that don’t matter to the outside world are revealed.

Information that could have been of great benefit was intentionally hidden.

For a dungeon-owning guild that doesn’t necessarily need to do good deeds for others, this is a natural way to share information.

Kang-hoo intended to use the route that he had personally written as the original author, which would bring in a lot of profit.

To be honest, it’s a scam.

However, it would have been strange to tell Park Dong-jae everything in detail, so I just said it in a general tone.

I got the high-level information through an acquaintance, and there was a lot of room for internal gain.

They didn’t tell me what I would get, because unless I was seeing the future, it would be strange to know.

However, after hearing the whole story, Park Dong-jae’s expression was a bit strange. It felt like there was an uneasy corner?

Kang-hoo asked.

“What’s with your expression? Are you not feeling well?”

“No, that’s not it. Brother, is it okay for me to receive such excessive consideration and benefits?”

“ah.”

Only then did Kang-hoo realize the meaning of Park Dong-jae’s expression.

He feels sorry that he is receiving more consideration and help than he needs. He is truly a pure-hearted guy.

“When I see you, I always feel like you’re taking care of me and looking after me the most. But I feel like I can’t give you back that much. That’s why I feel bad.”

“I understand how you feel. But instead of thinking negatively, why don’t you go together and pay for the meal more than usual?”

“That’s true too.”

“Don’t end your thoughts with, “I’m sorry for being indebted to you.” Change your thoughts to, “I owe you something, so I should repay you properly.”

“Good point, bro.”

“It’s not like you’re taking care of the other person because they want you to feel sorry. Look at the other person’s heart, not yours.”

“Yeah, I’ll keep that in mind.”

“And to be honest, I like battles where I’m the center of attention, and I like going solo.”

“I know that very well.”

“You are a buffer that makes me shine brighter than one, while at the same time, you are by my side as if you are not there.”

“… … .”

“I believe in your talent and value your worth. That’s why I want to see you in the long term and keep you going for a long time.”

“and…….”

Before he knew it, Park Dong-jae’s eyes turned red, and soon he started shedding tears with a flushed face.

It didn’t seem like it would be particularly tear-jerking, but it seemed to have touched the boy quite a bit.

It didn’t feel strange.

Rather, I was jealous.

Because it seemed like Kang-hoo himself didn’t have a pure heart that could be warmed by such words.

“That’s why I’m ‘investing’ in you. I’ll increase the value and get a lot out of it. That’s my idea.”

Park Dong-jae was unable to speak for a long time.

Judging from what Park Dong-jae has always said, there were many places he looked for as a buffer.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard such direct and heart-wrenching feedback about him.

Of course, Kang-hoo was sincere. Park Dong-jae must have felt that sincerity and felt a resonance in his heart.

Park Dong-jae quickly wiped away his tears with both hands and answered.

“I will definitely repay you with my life for the time you saved my life! I will definitely repay you somehow!”

“Don’t plant death flags. Saying you’ll pay with your life, saying you’ll protect me even if it means dying. Throw away those flags.”

Kang-hoo frowned.

This is because in the original work, there were many instances of death flags like this being directed at supporting characters who were ‘scheduled’ to die.

So Park Dong-jae’s words sounded a bit more sensitive. He shouldn’t die. He should be helped while he’s alive.

“Yes, that’s right! I’m not going to pay you back with my life. I’m going to live long enough to buff you more, right?”

“Yeah. Plant the survival flag like that.”

“Okay! By the way, I’m really nervous. I’ve never even been to Europe before.”

“It’s the same for me too.”

Kang-hoo laughed.

Norway is a place I’ve only seen on travel TV shows, but I’ve never actually been there.

I was curious what it would be like.

South Korea is currently in a state of political chaos where it is impossible to predict what will happen even an inch ahead.

I wonder if other countries are like that too?

Since it was a journey to a country that wasn’t covered in depth in the original, I was half excited and half thrilled.

Anyway, the important thing is to intercept Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong’s chance. Now is the time.

* * *

The departure proceeded at lightning speed.

Thanks to the consideration of the Gru Guild, the two were assigned first class seats and were able to begin their journey comfortably.

And before leaving the country.

In a phone call with the Gru Guild, Kang-hoo suggested that Park Dong-jae join them when they later requested a dungeon raid from the Gru Guild.

From the perspective of the Gru Guild, there was absolutely no reason to refuse a buffer that was hard to obtain even with money. So, they accepted right away, and thanks to that, they had another appointment with Park Dong-jae.

Perhaps because there weren’t many passengers flying direct to Norway, there were only two first class seats available.

Thanks to this, the two were able to eat a hearty in-flight meal and have a comfortable conversation.

If there had been many passengers, I would have kept quiet, but now, apart from the crew, there were only two people.

Kang-hoo heard about Park Dong-jae’s recent activities. He was definitely popular. It seemed like there were a lot of places calling him.

Even though Park Dong-jae never met Kang-hoo in person, he was aware of all the movements that were revealed or discovered.

Jeon Se-hyeok and Ban Se-young naturally shared information with each other, so they also knew that Kang-hoo killed Go Kyung-ho.

“brother.”

“uh?”

“My brother’s every move is so cool and amazing. Honestly, I worry more.”

“Is there anyone you don’t worry about?”

“Honestly, I’m not worried about Sehyuk or Seyoung. They have their own supporters, and there are more forces supporting them than you might think.”

“I know that.”

“But you move completely on your own. Even though you cooperate strategically, you don’t have anything like trusting someone with your life on the line, right?”

“Good point.”

“That’s what I’m worried about. Up until now, you’ve always responded perfectly and prepared. But if an unexpected variable arises, there won’t be anyone else to protect you.”

Park Dong-jae was pointing out Kang-hoo’s unique insularity, which is both his characteristic and his weakness.

Surely that was true.
