“Did you call? president.”

I put down the ledger I was looking at and said with a smile.

“welcome. Jaewoon.”

Originally, he was an employee who had been paying close attention, but because of Jae-jin Lee’s presence, Jae-woon Lee has become a talent that must be made into my own person.

“Is your brother doing well?”

Jaewoon said, bowing his back.

“Thanks for your attention, I am doing very well.”

“It’s good. I called Jae-Woon Lee to talk a little more seriously.”

Then Jae-Woon Lee said with a nervous expression.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes. But if it’s too heavy, the conversation doesn’t go well…”

I brought out the soju and snacks I had prepared in advance and said.

“Let’s have a drink and talk.”

I said as I clashed the glass with Jaewoon Lee.

“for.”

“for!”

Lee Jae-woon, who drank soju at once, looked at me and said.

“If you’re serious about me…”

I said with a smirk.

“I was going to have a few more drinks and talk, but you’re more urgent than you think?”

“Ahaha. I’m just curious what’s going on.”

I said looking at Jaewoon Lee.

“Jaewoon.”

“Yes. president.”

“money. Do you like it?”

Jaewoon Lee said with a bewildered expression at my sudden words.

“Yes? oh that. that is···”

“You can be honest. It’s only natural that people like money.”

Jaewoon Lee said after hesitating for a while.

“I like. no. To be precise, you can’t hate it.”

Lee Jae-woon said with a bitter expression.

“If you don’t even have money… the next thing is hell.”

Jae-Woon Lee, who supports his younger sibling with only one income, without parents.

Is there anything more important to him than money?

I said, slowly pouring soju into a glass.

“you’re right. Especially.”

I said raising my glass.

“Even more orphans like us.”

Jae-Woon Lee said, startled by my words.

“We…?”

“Yes. Looking at the situation, it seems that Jaewoon and Jaejin are either orphans or something similar to that. Is that right?”

Then Jaewoon said, nodding his head slightly.

“Yeah… to be precise, our parents abandoned us and left. When I was a kid.”

Also.

“Still, you know the faces of your parents. I’m from an orphanage, so I don’t even know the face. haha.”

“ah···”

“it’s okay. I’m used to it and I’m not really curious about it.”

I said with a smile.

“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. Do you know this word? Happiness cannot be bought with money. However···”

I said raising the corners of my lips.

“You cannot live in poverty.”

taken from noblemt l

Money is not the absolute benchmark for happiness.

Not everyone who is rich is happy.

But at the same time, it is also the lower limit of happiness.

Living a happy life without money is almost impossible in Korea.

Just like my previous life did.

“Was I really as rich as I am now? no. I was also an office worker like Jae-Woon until recently. However···”

I said looking at the dungeon outside the office.

“It changed my life completely.”

“········”

“It was truly a heaven-given opportunity for me. I was the one who made good use of that opportunity.”

I said with a smile.

“Then, if I offered Jae-Woon a similar opportunity… would you be willing to take it?”

Jaewoon Lee said with a firm expression on my words.

“A chance…?”

“A chance to succeed. opportunity to go higher. And . . . a chance to be happy.”

Jae-Woon Lee sits down without a word.

I said, pouring soju into Jaewoon Lee’s glass.

“Today, I paid 2.3 million won to the last hunter customer and bought the item. How much do you think my share there will be?”

“I do not know.”

“5 percent, or 115,000 won.”

Originally, I was given 10%, but as competition became fiercer, I had no choice but to lower the margin.

Of course, there are hundreds of hunters in Dangjin alone, so if you add them all up, you get a huge amount.

I said with a smile.

“I know roughly the number of hunters I deal with in a day, so you know what my daily income is, right?”

Jaewoon’s eyes fluttered violently.

“Ummm… it’s me.”

Thousands of thousands of dollars a day at a glance.

Hundreds of millions of dollars per month is ridiculous.

Of course, most of that amount is currently invested in the purchase of slime slime, so the amount of money that actually falls into my hands is small.

“Is that all? In addition to that, the sales from numerous stores and the proceeds from the shopping malls that are currently being made. To be honest, what are the Hunters doing? It’s funny. why? ‘Cause I’m making so much more But there is a problem.”

“Is it a problem?”

“My body is one.”

I said with a smile.

“Where was the dungeon? In Seongbuk-gu and in Gumi. You never know how many more there will be in the future. But I have only one body and the time is only 24 hours. So in times like these, what you need is a companion.”

“Companion···”

“I need a partner who can share my interests and rejoice with me. This is the opportunity I was talking about.”

I said with my eyes shining.

“Jaewoon Lee. Do you want to formally learn to work with me? It accompanies me by my side and sometimes moves on my behalf. It could be a branch of the gated goods store or it could be another business, but I promise you this one thing.”

I said to Jaewoon Lee, who swallowed dry saliva.

“The salary I am receiving now is that I will be able to make enough money that I cannot even see it.”

If you could recruit Jae-Woon Lee and Jae-Jin Lee, what would be 10 million won and 20 million won a month?

not worth it at all

When a top-level hunter signs a contract with a guild, the unit of down payment is tens of billions of dollars, but that’s a lot of money.

“You know? my style.”

Even when I was a regular employee, I spent several million won at a time during the operation, but if I called and met him in person like this, wouldn’t it be enough?

“How is it? Would you like to try it?”

At my words, Jaewoon Lee bowed without hesitation and said.

“Of course, sir! opportunity given by the boss. I will try hard.”

“good. Then, starting tomorrow, don’t go to the field and follow me like an attendant. I will teach you one by one.”

“Yes!!”

“ah. Previously.”

I pulled out a document from under the desk and held it out.

And on the paper it was written:

– Dangjin General Hospital.

“I don’t want to have any problems in the middle of work, so I go and get a health checkup. Everything from head to toe.”

Jaejin Lee in his previous life did not have an older brother.

Considering Lee Jae-jin’s fame and Lee Jae-woon’s influence on Lee Jae-jin, it’s strange that there are no rumors.

Then, what happened to Lee Jae-woon in his previous life, the most probable thing was, of course, an abnormality in health.

So I did a health check…

“Is there anything wrong?”

“Yes.”

Fortunately, no abnormalities were found during the examination.

Then there are no obstacles now.

It’s either a health problem or an accident. It’s an accident. At the time I met you, I’m living a different life from my previous life, so the probability of the same thing happening is zero.

“It’s good. So, starting today, Jae-Woon Lee will work as my assistant.”

At my words, Jae-Woon Lee said with an ambitious expression on his face.

“Yes! Then what should I do?”

“First of all, there is nothing different from usual. It’s the same as buying slime slime and managing the store.”

“ah. that. okay.”

“Wait slowly. While preparing to seize the opportunity whenever and wherever it comes. What···”

I checked the date on the calendar and said with a smile.

“Somehow, I have a feeling that the opportunity will come sooner than I thought.”

and a week later.

-The 4th gate has appeared!

E-class Jecheon Dungeon.

It was the 4th dungeon in Korea that was created in a small town near Jecheon.

-Korea is the country with the 10th largest number of gates in the world…

The announcer’s remarks feel a sense of power compared to when the first gate came out.

“It came.”

I thought it was time to get out.

I said, gazing again.

“I wanted to buy some nearby land in advance, but… that’s too risky.”

I’ve already bought a piece of land right next to Dangjin Dungeon.

But again, buy the land next to the dungeon in advance?

As if you already knew it was going to be there?

This is too dangerous.

Once may be a coincidence, but twice is inevitable.

To avoid people’s suspicions, I deliberately did not even step toward Jecheon.

“okay. Let’s be satisfied with the land of Dangjin.”

In fact, in terms of the value of the land, there is no place like Dang.

At first glance, I think that the higher the dungeon you go, the more expensive the land will be, but it’s the complete opposite.

why?

The number of hunters is in the form of a pyramid, and the number decreases exponentially as you go up.

A dungeon with one hunter earning 100 million and a dungeon with 1,000 hunters earning 100 million.

It is not clear which one will be more active in consumption and urbanization.

Just because you earn 1,000 times your money doesn’t mean you spend 1,000 times as much.

“Now we can move slowly.”

In fact, there is no big difference between the E-class dungeon and the F-class dungeon in terms of the hunter’s income.

The monster gets a little stronger and something better comes out with crystals and by-products?

On the contrary, there are statistics saying that the faster you catch an easy monster in an F-class dungeon, the better your income.

However, there was a decisive blow in the E-class dungeon.

It was the equipment.

I said with my eyes shining.

“Let’s buy some equipment.”

Unlike F-class dungeon equipment, which is simply scrapped and used as scrap, E-class dungeons have a very rare chance of producing equipment with special abilities.

Special equipment that directly aids in hunting, such as weapons that strengthen the power and emit electric current, or armor with enhanced defense.

Of course, like an E-class dungeon, its performance is not very good, but in the early days, these equipments were treated as myths from legend.

Of course, the price was great as well as its rarity.

The problem is that when the E-class dungeon was just created, people didn’t even know that it had a strange ability, and they scrapped everything just like the F-class dungeon equipment.

Outwardly, it looks no different from other general equipment, so I just took it all and melted it.

Then, a few weeks later, the existence of the special equipment and how to distinguish it are known, and the hunters are frantic to save this special equipment.

Of course, I already know the distinction.

“Jaewoon!!”

Jaewoon Lee came into the office at my call and said,

“Yes! president!”

“I’m going on a business trip, so be prepared.”

“A business trip?”

“Do you know how to drive?”

“Yes.”

I handed Jaewoon the car key and said with a smile.

“The destination is Jecheon. Let’s go make money quickly. Because it seems like the opportunity I was talking about has come.”
