Chapter 44: Trampling those with Gold Spoons (7)

[Would you like to take Germuz into your household? Yes/No]

[If you accept then the conditions for Mission 8 will be automatically achieved . ]

In the meantime, such messages showed up .

Kang-jun nodded as he received the cloak from Germuz .

"From now on, you will be part of Sovereign Lucan’s household . ”

“I will swear my loyalty to you, Lord . ”

Germuz took off his helmet and bowed politely to Kang-jun .

[Germuz has joined your household . ]

[Germu will become your faithful subordinate in the world of Hwanmong . ]

At that moment, a glowing light surrounded Germuz and his body was restored .

Kang-jun was also covered in a brilliant light .

[Mission 8 has been accomplished . ]

[A large amount of experience has been given as compensation and you have gained two levels . ]

It wasn’t just one, but two levels! Lv16 .

Thanks to this, Kang-jun’s body was neatly restored .

[1,500 nodes will be given as compensation . ]

[Five Essence of Wind will be given as compensation . ]

1,500 nodes and the rare Essence of Wind!

‘Keirun should know about this . ’

As a result, he had 3,500 nodes piled up in his second base .

With this much money, wouldn’t he have caught up with Jung Kwang-hyeon who had the advantage of tremendous resources?

No . Maybe Kang-jun was still losing when it came to resources .

Colt mentioned that Jung Kwang-hyeon collected hundreds of nodes in taxes every time he entered the world of Hwanmong .

A five-storey building! It was six floors if he included the basement . Therefore, that was over 2,000 nodes received as taxes every time . This was all without having to kill a monster .

Huge resources! High quantity of troops! The power of a golden spoon was terrible .

However, Kang-jun had the Heaven’s Blood Sword Style and the ogre Germuz .

Furthermore, he was Lv16!

Despite Jung Kwang-hyeon having the ability to summon orcs and goblins with his huge resources, Kang-jun was no longer afraid .

To be honest, Kang-jun didn’t see Jung Kwang-hyeon as an opponent anymore .

Rather, he was scared of sovereigns with a more terrifying power! Those people who existed in the high rise buildings! The problem was surviving a war with them .

Kang-jun touched the cloak Germuz gave him and stared in every direction .

Numerous buildings stretched out endlessly like the sea!

Various single family homes! Villas! Commercial buildings! High rise apartments . . . !

The skyscrapers seemed to reign high in the sky above everything else .

Kang-jun’s expression changed as he gazed at the skyscrapers .

'Is there a sovereign in such a place? Or is there really something like a dragon?’

The thought of a sovereign made him sweat .

Would a tycoon in reality become a sovereign in Hwanmong?

Even though they were all golden spoons, they were on a different standard from Jung Kwang-hyeon .

They would have infinite resources and a huge supply of troops for raids . He wouldn’t be able to resist .

If so, would he rather face a dragon?

That also wasn’t possible . A dragon had absolute power in a fantasy novel so it might be scarier than a sovereign .

The conclusion was clear .

A tycoon sovereign or dragon boss! They were formidable existences that Kang-jun might encounter one day .

The only way was to become stronger! If he wasn’t stronger than them, he would die .

'There is no support . The strong will survive . Until the end!’

Kang-jun grabbed the cloak tightly .

Germuz watched Kang-jun staring at the skyscrapers . Determination filled his eyes and he said to Kang-jun .

“Lord! I don’t know what Lord’s goal is but please consider me your spearhead . I will keep fighting for you until my time of death . ”

Kang-jun just smiled .

"I have high hopes for you Germuz . And I am grateful for this cloak .

Germuz scratched his head .

“Kukuk! I didn’t get any effect from the cloak so I just wore it to look cool . Obviously there would be a large difference if a sovereign wore it . Go ahead and try on the cloak, Lord . ”

"Yes . "

[Cloak of the Wind . ]

-Rating: Only one

-A sign that you are a sovereign in Hwanmong .

Agility + 5 when worn .

When using Aura of Wind, it's black magic energy consumption will be reduced by 20% .

-Sovereign Title: Xiphos

The cloak that Germuz took was a sovereign token for the sovereign called Xiphos .

However, Germuz killed him and the sovereign token ended up in Germuz’s hands .

However, he was a monster so the sovereign token had no effect on him .

That’s why he tied it like a scarf or handkerchief around his neck .

Once Kang-jun wore the cloak, it adjusted nicely to his size .

A blue cloak that emitted a soft light .

Kang-jun’s agility rose by five points after he put it on .

Agility: 20 (+5)

Thanks to the Cloak of the Wind, he had the agility of someone who was Lv21 .

His body was in the best condition and the increase in agility made Kang-jun feel as light as a feather .

Anything else? Suddenly, one of the actions of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style started to be vividly imprinted in his mind .

Susuk! Sususuk!

Kng-jun moved his body according to the actions . He just thought about it but his body moved naturally .

Then his sword cut the space in front of him .

Paaaat!

Then a new message appeared .

[The power of the heavenly sword that can break down everything . Who can stop this sword . . . ]

[The skill Heavenly Cut has been learnt . ]

[Heavenly Cut]

A powerful slash attack against a single target .

-The higher your strength and agility, the more powerful the attack will be .

-Can be used with a sword .

-Consumes 40 black magic energy .

Restrictions: Muscular strength 18, agility 25 .

"T-this?"

Kang-jun was pleasantly surprised .

A skill?

It was unmistakable . Heavenly Cut was an attack skill .

'I finally have an attacking skill . ’

It could only be used if he had 25 agility points but that was possible due to Cloak of the Wind .

His muscular strength was 19 so that was also sufficient .

However, it consumed a huge 40 points of black magic energy . It must be very strong to consume that much black magic energy .

It was a skill that he couldn’t carelessly use .

Still, it felt reassuring to have a special skill like that .

[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over . ]

[The door to Hwanmong is closed . ]

Before he knew it, it was time to return to reality . Kang-jun closed his eyes as the space around him distorted .

The 5th floor of the Yugang building .

Jung Kwang-hyeon woke up and got out of bed . He shouted nervously .

"Shit! They didn’t win!”

While Kang-jun was fighting the ogre Germuz, there was a fierce battle between Jung Kwang-hyeon’s side and the troops at Kang-jun’s first base .

Once Jung Kwang-hyeon entered Hwanmong, 35 orcs and 15 goblins were waiting .

He had three stage 3 barracks .

One research institute .

More importantly, he had 4,300 nodes! This was due to the new taxes and compensation from the mission .

'It is sufficient even if I don’t have Colt . Today I will smash everything . ’

Despite failing to buy the Dafeng building, he had determined the location so it would be over today .

Jung Kwang-hyeon was convinced that he would win with an overwhelming force .

Jung Kwang-hyeon had played many strategy simulation games when he was younger .

[Goblin archer]

Resources: 10 nodes

[Orc]

Resources: 25 nodes

-It is possible to summon if you have 1 charisma points

‘The low grade units are the goblins while the upper grade units are the orcs . ’

He immediately started summoning orcs at all three barracks . At the same time, he was confident that Kang-jun would only have low grade troops .

‘Huhu, Sovereign Lucan doesn’t receive any taxes . Therefore, his money is very low . He probably only has one barrack so the summoning rate of his troops will be slow . ’

That was what Colt used to say . Therefore, Jung Kwang-hyeon was sure that he would overwhelmingly win .

However, the fight turned out differently .

The first troops he sent to scout were wiped out by the sudden appearance of a minotaur and intermediate gnomes . In addition, they used guerilla methods by attacking and retreating .

In the end, he had to focus on defense rather than attack .

Of course, he continued to summon orcs . He managed to call 80 orcs and 10 goblins .

Just as they were gathered for an assault, the door to Hwanmong closed .

"Shit! I missed it . ”

On the other hand, he felt uneasy for some reason . He never expected that Kang-jun, who lived in the goshiwon, would have a strong subordinate like the minotaur .

‘That is the only way . I need to quickly buy the building . ’

He immediately called the realtor . Yesterday he had used the punishment field, so the realtor should have some results by now .

-This is realtor Han Min-soo .

“How did it go?”

Jung Kwang-hyeon asked curtly . Han Min-soo trembled and replied .

-The owner of the building flew to Jeju Island . I flew down to Jeju Island late last night . I will be meeting with the owner in a little bit . I will unconditionally conclude the deal .

As expected, it was necessary to step on his spirit just once . A satisfied smile appeared on Jung Kwang-hyeon's face .

“Give them 3 . 2 billion . I will sign the contract tomorrow when the owner comes back . If that fails then you will die . ”

-Yes, Boss-nim .

Indeed, the building owner appeared the next day like Han Min-soo said . Jung Kwang-hyeon swiftly signed the contract .

Jung Kwang-hyeon was now the owner of the Dafeng building .

The next day .

Jung Kwang-hyeon finished the ownership transfer of the Dafeng building .

At the same time, he closed down the goshiwon while offering the residents compensation . They were given a refund of 500,000 won so no one complained .

There were only three rooms left . Rooms 401, 406 and 413 .

They were contracted to Kang-jun . The problem was that he couldn’t be found! He couldn’t nullify the contract without the consent of the other party .

‘Cowardly bastard! Did he run away scared? It is no use . You will meet your end in Hwanmong tonight . ’

As soon as Jung Kwang-hyeon owned the Dafeng building, he could see Kang-jun’s current status through the 3D map as well as receive taxes from the area .

It was only a matter of time until he won .

Meanwhile, Kang-jun was at the Eco Studio Apartment . He signed contracts with Rooms 309 and 318 . Hayun was also staying here .

During the day, he focused on selling underwear at the market and he rested at night .

He received a call from the realtor that Jung Kwang-hyeon had bought the Dafeng building, but he didn’t care .

The game was already finished . The time for the decisive battle had arrived .

[The door to Hwanmong is open . ]

[You have entered the world of Hwanmong . ]
