Chapter 50: Progress (4)
Chapter 50: Progress (4)
When South Korean President Han-Chul Joo appeared, people near Lewis's office booed him.
"Right!"
"The Scarecrow President."
"We didn't pick!"
"I don't need a president like that!"
Knowing that he would be criticized, Joo Han-Cheol walked to Lewis's office.
A series of incidents indeed raised public criticism.
Criticisms poured in, like a president who abandoned his people, an incompetent president, and a puppet of Korea.
Joo Han-Cheol exhaled a shallow breath when Jun-woo was nowhere to be seen in front of Lewis' office.
I had a feeling that things were not going to go well.
"It's Jun-woo Lee!"
Then, Jun-woo came down the stairs and appeared.
Joo Han-Cheol quickly walked with a slightly relieved face.
The shutter sound of reporters interlocked with other sounds.
As the street got closer, Joo Han-Cheol opened his mouth.
"Thank you for coming."
"Shall we go in first?"
"Let's go in."
As Jun-woo entered the representative room, Joo Han-Cheol followed.
The two stood looking at each other.
Joo Han-Cheol opened his mouth first.
"He is an incompetent president. It may not be resolved, but first of all, I apologize like this."
Joo Han-Cheol bowed his head deeply.
In fact, there was little the President could do.
At best, they only have the authority to convene a guild in a national crisis. In reality, the President was a person who performed diplomatic activities on behalf of the country, no, the guild.
The only thing he did wrong was that he didn't get the cooperation of China and Japan.
Other war situations were to be dealt with in consultation with the guild, and the President did not have the authority to lead and command.
In most countries, the guild was strong in the federalist tendency to protect and manage each region.
So did Korea.
Daehan was the center of Seoul, Geumhwa was in the direction of Incheon, Yongho was in Uijeongbu, Pungrim was in Songpa River Street Hanam, and Water was in Gwacheon Seongnam and Uiwang Suwon.
And in the presidential voting method, only guild members belonging to a guild at level 5 or higher protecting the region could exercise the right to vote.
The right to vote was too much for the normal, who accounted for 70% of the people.
For that reason, Daehan, which has the most voting rights, has been alternately serving as President for 15 years.
The President is merely a formal post. Choi Jeong-han of Daehan, who runs the largest guild, moves to the Republic of Korea.
To Jun-woo, Joo Han-Cheol was only the face of Korea and Choi Jeong-han's spokesperson.
Jun-woo calmly suggested a seat.
"Sit."
"Yeah."
The two sat facing each other.
"I'm glad you looked okay."
"Thank you."
"I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for me there alone. I'm really sorry, and I'm sorry again."
It was Joo Han-Cheol, who appeared as a low-key character.
Jun-woo asked Choi Jeong-han a question he couldn't ask.
"Did you not think I would be there?"
"As time went on, I thought it could be. But they are too strong a group for Korea to deal with. Do you know the situation in Ukraine?"
As Jun-woo looked at him as if wondering, Joo Han-Cheol continued.
"A similar thing happened in Ukraine. It was a war with European criminal gangs. After a fierce battle, Ukraine was victorious, but the damage was severe. In the aftermath of the war, the power to stop the crack was lost, and the power to stop the backflow of the gate was gone. Because of that, the people of Ukraine died, and it became a country that had to get help from Europe."
"Are you saying that Korea could be like that too?"
Joo Han-Cheol answered without hesitation.
"It sounds like an excuse, but it's true. After the Ulsan Gate backwater incident, which caused countless casualties, Japan and China spared no support for South Korea. Against this backdrop, Japan did not help Korea, using Japan's scudo and China's political hardship as an excuse. There were obviously guilds who came out to help, but their power alone could not minimize the damage."
Unlike yesterday, Jun-woo listened to Joo Han-Cheol calmly.
"Sorry. We couldn't go to war to save Lewis, who might have been dead. We just hoped they would return after the quest was over."
Korea was a powerless country.
During the Ulsan Gate incident, Korea's Unique+ lost two people, making it even weaker.
Jun-woo nodded his head slowly.
"I know what you mean."
"I want you to ease your anger a little."
"Do you have more to say?"
"I heard that you decided to stay in Korea. If you wish, we will have bodyguards in place until you are stable."
Jun-woo replied.
"I will hire the bodyguard myself. However, if there is any problem, I will ask for your active support this time."
"I will definitely do that."
Jun-woo remembered yesterday's events slightly.
Daehan was too big a guild in Korea to start a grudge just because he didn't save him.
And there will undoubtedly be moments when you will need their help if you need it.
"And please tell the Master that you're sorry for what happened yesterday. It was the first day I went out, so I think I was angry and rude. We will see you soon and apologize."
At Jun-woo's words, Joo Han-Cheol drew a satisfied smile.
"The Master of Daehan will surely understand."
"Thank you for coming."
"Thank you for staying in Korea. On behalf of Korea, I apologize and thank you."
Jun-woo lightly lowered his head at the same time.
Joo Han-Cheol left, and Jun-woo thought of Dark Star.
They were a powerful group, as Joo Han-Cheol said.
Liu Wei, Wu Long, and Zhao Ming of China. Japan's Takane. Vietnam's Bragen. Korea's Kwon Do-hyeok and Master Lin Qiao.
Their power was strong enough to make Asia tremble.
In particular, they may have trembled in fear in front of Master Linqiao's power.
One by one, you can do it .'
Jun-woo got up from his seat.
I got a call from Choi Ji-ho and was about to leave the room to go to the workshop, but the phone rang.
-beep.
"Sir, Sakaguchi from Japan has wanted to meet you for a long time ."
It was the first name I heard.
Jun-woo went out to the waiting room.
"I will go out. And in the future, if anyone comes to visit us outside of business, please tell them to go back."
Countless greetings were made over the two days.
I didn't want to spend any more meaningless time after being President.
"Okay, Sir."
Jun-woo went down the stairs.
A man in his thirties, about 175 cm tall, with his hair braided back, was standing right in front of the entrance.
When he saw Jun-woo, he immediately bowed his head.
"Nice to meet you."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Sakaguchi, who protected Yoroshi-sama, a unique Japanese swordsman."
Yoroshi was a famous Japanese heavy sword craftsman.
There was even a saying that if you were going to make a heavy sword in Japan, you should visit him.
However, he was kidnapped on the way from Tokyo to Osaka to visit his grandson.
"What did you come here for?"
"I want to protect you because it should never happen again that a craftsman-like Yoroshi-sama is kidnapped."
"What is your grade?"
"This is a level 110 sword with a unique level. I protected Yoroshi-sama for 7 years, which is the mark of the guild with Yoroshi-sama, Okhotsogen."
Sakaguchi showed the photo he had brought and the guild mark on his right shoulder.
Photos that appear to have been taken with Yoroshi were listed by era.
He seemed to want to tell them that he was by no means a strange person.
"All right. We'll talk about the details later. Can I ask for your bodyguard from afar?"
"I will take your name."
Sakaguchi bowed his head and walked into the crowd.
As soon as Jun-woo moved, Leon, Eumeria, Sakaguchi, and Yoshimura followed.
Besides that, many people worked tirelessly to follow Jun-woo.
As Jun-woo increased his speed, people could not follow one by one and stopped breathing.
Jun-woo put on a hat and a mask and ran to the scene.
When we arrived at the site, construction was in progress.
Ji-ho Choi, the construction manager, came up to me, took out a piece of paper, and gave an explanation.
"Once it is done this way. As requested, the entrance door has not yet been built and covered."
Jun-woo showed the blueprint he had brought and said.
"We are going to use the web here."
"Oh, are you going to use the warp to enter?"
Jun-woo calmly responded to Choi Ji-ho's cautious question.
"I think so."
"Ah, yes. Then I will."
At that moment, Imina flew up from the center of the pitted playground.
Phut!
When he burst mana around his body, the dirt on his body and hair was neatly scattered and settling down.
Lee Mina said as she fell in front of Jun-woo.
"Huh, construction man. You can't eat my share."
Choi Ji-ho replied as if he was embarrassed.
"Sure ."
Imana glanced behind Jun-woo and asked.
"Are there two more? Do you know?"
"It's a bodyguard. You don't have to worry about it."
"Oh, a celebrity, too."
"Can I come in?"
Choi Ji-ho answered.
"Yes, you can come in. The work is done on the inside."
Jun-woo lightly jumped into the pit.
And disappeared.
A look of wonder was etched on the face of Imina, who was following her.
Where have you gone?'
Jun-woo placed portable light bulbs everywhere in a dark space where no light enters.
The space was similar to the old underground workshop.
Jun-woo installed a web to prevent mana from leaking in the underground workshop and took out 4 robots that were sleeping in the item window.
The class leader robot was the first to speak.
"Hello, President."
"I want to start working, class manager."
Said the Captain Robot.
"Nice to meet you."
"Yeah, nice to meet you. Leader."
The captain and the function looked around, went to the location where the firearms were placed, and seemed to check their items.
"Come on, let's start over. First of all, boss, look at this."
"Yes, sir."
In the meantime, Jun-woo showed the class leader 100 copies of the clock blueprints for each Skill's cooldown.
"I'm going to make all of this at once."
[Hearthstone Clock Blueprint]

-Category: trinkets
-Material: 3 adamantium
1 crystal crystal
1 slime liquid
1 black powder
1 Intermediate Spirit Stone

*Increases stamina by 13 when held in the item window.
-Value of blueprint: 520,000,000
-Value of item at design time: 2,058,000,000
"All right."
"I'll put the ingredients down here."
Jun-woo put down the materials needed for the watch.
It was a structure in which only the auxiliary robot had to die if the clock was made.
"Only the assistant will be busy. I'll have a job left, so I'll have to accept a production request We are preparing ingots so that we can make them at any time."
"Okay, sir."
The four robots began to move in unison.
They put charcoal in the fire pit, lit a fire, and we're busy.
Gang! Gang! Gang!
So, the workshop that lays Jun-woo's golden eggs went back.
As Jun-woo climbed up, Lee Minna, looking around, approached her with widened eyes.
"How did you do it?"
"It's for security reasons, so I can't tell you."
Lee Min-a looked at Jun-woo with a puzzled look.
"Unfortunately Guild?"
"Guild see it once. First of all, I need to get a production order. I'll go see it anyway. Keep helping."
"I know. Should I bring a lot of gold instead?"
"By the age."
Imina followed and grumbled.
"Aren't there any guild member benefits?"
"Nothing. How much is the commission benefit and priority for item production?"
"You don't make robes, do you?"
Jun-woo was not a tailor who made leather or robes.
Having a skillful robot do it might be okay, but it would be a waste of money since you won't be able to use the welding function.
"What is that There is nothing."
"Eh? Only the sheet metal guild members will overflow."
"Goes."
Imina replied with a sharp point.
"song."
Jun-woo went up and bowed his head to Choi Ji-ho.
"Then, please."
"Yes, thank you for always entrusting me."
As Jun-woo left the scene, he picked up the phone and called Jeong Hye-Yeon.
"Hyeyeon, please notify the website that you are only receiving production requests from Epic+."
"Yeah? Yeah! Sir."
"And are you learning Leon and Eumeria well?"
"Ah, yes, Leon-sama is a little But Eumeria-sama is really smart. If you teach it, you will remember it immediately and learn it quickly."
"okay?"
"Yeah, he's brilliant."
Hearing that Eumeria is smart, Jun-woo smiled for nothing.
"Teach me well. And I will take the Epic+ deal for the time being."
"Yes, sir."
Epic+ was different from Epic in scale.
If the highest-end Epic armor price was about 240 million gold, Epic+ started with 500 million gold from the bottom.
A lot of gold and items could be the target of crime.
It might have been a significant amount for Normal's Jeong Hye-Yeon to receive and trade.
So Jun-woo had a wish that Eumeria would deal with Jeong Hye-Yeon in the future.
The homunculus created by Jun-woo felt like his own family like never before.
Leon and Eumeria were beings who could not think of betrayal, so it seemed like they could leave anything to them.
[let's go. Leon, Eumeria.]
As Jun-woo moved, they followed.
