Chapter 3 Part 4

The secretary looked at Kyung Hoon admiringly.
If it was anyone else that had received a report like this, they wouldn’t have been able to handle it and come to a conclusion about the situation.
Other vice presidents would usually take it as luck and move past it. Even the secretary himself would have thought that way if Kyung Hoon hadn’t pointed out the oddness of the situation to him.
‘Now that i heard about the situation, I feel very stupid that I didn’t realize it myself.’
If Kyung Hoon had said that it was pure luck that Hyunsuk was able to achieve all of this, the secretary would have believed him and let it slide. That’s how thoroughly Hyunsuk was controlling his number of things found.
The secretary’s curiosity for Hyunsuk rose.
‘If he really was able to control it all by himself… he’s super strong…’
He scanned the list to find Hyunsuk’s age.
‘21 years old… absolutely incredible…’
When the secretary felt the eyes of Kyung Hoon land on him, he snapped back into reality. He turned his head in the direction of Kyung Hoon and bowed his head slightly.
“Then I will get on with the plan immediately.”
Kyung Hoon nodded and waved his hand indicating to the secretary that it was okay for him to leave.
As soon as his secretary left, Kyung Hoon looked down at the list again.
“There’s no way that I was the only one to have seen this list… I wonder who else has seen it.”
As he was mumbling, his lips curved into a smile full of confidence.

Chang Soo was sitting in a quiet little coffee shop with his group. Hyunsuk wasn’t present.
It had been one month since they last saw Hyunsuk. It meant that it had been a month since they ate the green jelly. Including Chang Soo, the rest of the group had taken the green jelly yesterday.
“I should start finding a way of sorting it out. No? Until when are we going to be hunting thunder dragonflies like slaves to Hyunsuk?”
At Chang Soo’s words, everybody started fidgeting. What he said was true but at the same time, it wasn’t true to him.
“What’s wrong with your reactions? You’re not saying that you’re okay with this situation, right?”
“The thing is… Well the situation…”
Myung Suk was looking around the table and opened his mouth. Chang Soo tried to calm down and looked back at Myung Suk.
“Just think about how we were when we weren’t with him.”
Chang Soo shut his mouth. Even if Myung Suk didn’t say those words, Chang Soo already knew.
If they thought about how they were back then, they were like trash.
Of course even now, it was hard to say that they were good guys, but they were better than they were back then.
Even if they acted like trash, they weren’t able to obtain any magical stones from the dungeons. But because of Hyunsuk, they had come this far within one month.
“And just compare us from then and now. Although the hunting is hard and he makes us work, we make at least $5,000 a day.”
But if they thought about the amount that Hyunsuk took, it really was unfair.
But if they also compared them to the way that they were living, dealing with that wasn’t too bad. Back then, the most magical stones that they’d find were 5.
Also, the ones that they were able to obtain, only held about 500 power points at max.
The 500 power point magical stone was one that wasn’t rare at all. Amongst the players, it was a given that a player would be able to obtain one at least once in their lives. The selling price wasn’t that high either.
If a magical stone had over 1000 power points, it was worth at least $1,000,000. But one with 500 power points was worth only $10,000.
Of course there were other items, but come on, how much would that all be worth when added up?
At the end, each person wouldn’t even be able to take home $10,000 each day.
But think about it now. Of course the job was hard and arduous, they took home at least $5,000 everyday. It meant that in one month, you were able to make over a $100,000 even if there were some resting days.
How many players would be able to say that? If you thought about it that way, Hyunsuk was allowing them to live their dream life.
Chang Soo glared at his group for giving him a reaction of that sort.
“So are you all saying that you guys want to continue living as slaves like this?”
In all honesty, they weren’t living their lives like slaves. They were working hard and honestly earning their living, but Myung Suk could not bring himself to say that.
There was nothing to be gained by fighting with Chang Soo.
The atmosphere became uncomfortable very quickly. Chang Soo scanned his eyes around his group.
Chang Soo had to approach them carefully. If he ran towards them with a spear, they would quickly turn his back on him. He had to watch what he said.
“I’m not saying this lifestyle is bad. Of course it’s good that we’re working hard to make an honest living.”
Almost as if Chang Soo’s agreement brought them comfort, everyone turned their eyes on him and listened.
When Chang Soo saw that his plan was working, he fought to keep the anger rise from his chest. He already knew that their hearts had turned on him a long time ago. But there were many ways to turn them back onto his side.
“All I want is a little equality.”
They stared back at Chang Soo with their eyes wide open almost as if they were asking him what he was talking about.
Chang Soo spoke with an unhappy expression, “Are you guys all really thinking that this situation is fair? We’re the ones playing the bait in Hyunsuk’s games. Think about exactly what he’s doing carefully!”
At those words, everyone started to slowly nod their heads.
Truthfully, playing the bait wasn’t easy. The thunderbolts that the thunder dragonfly threw out were extremely dangerous and could kill them.
On the other hand, the only thing that Hyunsuk had to do was stay hidden and then kill the thunder dragonfly while it was being distracted by the others.
Of course it required a lot of strength and skills in order to successfully slay the dragonfly, but it was the safest and easiest job of it all. Even the group members couldn’t deny that.
But the thing was, Hyunsuk took the most out of all the obtained things. Also, the group members didn’t know how much money Hyunsuk made because they weren’t able to confirm how many magical stones Hyunsuk extracted from the creatures.

At least he was the villain of the story before he went back in time. Now he might just be some kind of joke character.
