nKill The Hero – Chapter 249 – Losing the Rabbit (2)

nThe news quickly spread around the world.

nThe two great guilds compete for the 7 Floor dungeon in France!

nIs this the first round between the Messiah Guild and Saviour Guild?

nWho will take the first step towards saving the world?

nIt spread so quickly that it was obvious that someone was manipulating the media.

n-So the Messiah Guild and Saviour Guild are competing for the 7 Floor dungeon that appeared in France?

n-It’s a really nice competition made in good faith.

n

n

n-Right, I’m thankful that they’re competing like this.

nAnd the public seemed to be enjoying that fact.

nThere was no reason not to enjoy it.

nNow, the two guilds who received the most support and love from the world were competing more actively to save the world.

n-Who do you think will win the bid?

nㄴThe Messiah Guild definitely has an edge. The reputation they’ve built up so far is on a completely different level.

nㄴI’m not sure about that. The Saviour Guild cleared the 7 Floor dungeon faster, didn’t they?

nBasically, everyone was wondering who would come out on top between the two guilds.

nIn other words, it was a big event that was bound to be well received.

nIt was literally an event.

n“We suffered a bit.”

nAn event that didn’t occur naturally, but was organised by someone.

n“The Messiah Guild’s press team really did a good job.”

nUpon realising this fact, Oh Se-chan’s subordinate could only scratch his head embarrassedly as he muttered.

n“I didn’t expect them to secretly prepare like this. It seems that they’re really determined this time.”

nOh Se-chan responded simply.

n“This is a matter of life and death, so they would obviously be determined.”

nOh Se-chan was calm as he said these words.

nAs he’d said, it was natural that the Messiah Guild had no choice but to do something like this, and there had been no flaws in their actions.

nAnd since the dice had already been thrown, what had happened couldn’t be helped.

nSince that was the case, it was better to think about something else instead of the dice.

n“So does this look like a trick?”

nFirst of all, Oh Se-chan wanted to know whether the Messiah Guild was truly willing to attack the A- rank dungeon that appeared in France.

n“We’re still trying to confirm it, but it seems to be genuine. Among the 7 Floor dungeons that have appeared so far, the A- ranked dungeon in France is the highest. Unless an A ranked 7 Floor dungeon appears, it’s unlikely that they’d change targets.”

nAnd according to their investigations, the Messiah Guild was truly determined to attack the dungeon.

n“First of all, in this situation, wouldn’t the team that obtains the right to attack get a step ahead?”

nThis was because it was worth it.

nAfter all, the public’s attention was already locked onto this confrontation between the Messiah Guild and the Saviour Guild.

nAnd in such a situation, the value of being one step ahead of the other could not be put into words.

nThere were currently countless powers and capitalists weighing the situation at the moment.

n“It’s also a matter of face. The Messiah Guild would never be the challenger.”

nMore importantly, the Messiah Guild was the champion.

nA champion who never had any challengers!

nIn such a situation, not only had a challenger appear, but they had even hit them, so would they leave this challenger alone?

n“They’re not good people in the first place.”

nMoreover, the Messiah Guild was one that would do anything possible to safeguard their values.

nThe expression radical was not enough to describe them.

nFrom the Messiah Guild’s perspective, this was a good opportunity for them to trample the Saviour Guild.

n“They would never let it end easily.”

nSo they would naturally face the Saviour Guild with their full power.

n“Well, we didn’t intend to let it end easily either.”

nOf course, the Saviour Guild didn’t intend to stay put either.

n“Now then, let’s start lobbying.”

nAlong with those words, Oh Se-chan, who had just risen from his seat, had a smile similar to a fisherman who had confirmed that the fish had bitten his bait.

n…

nWho were the owners of the dungeon gates?

nIf you were to ask one hundred people on the street this question, they would all give the same answer.

nThey belong to the government.

nAnd that answer was true.

nHowever, if you were to then ask them how the government distributes the rights to the dungeons, most of them would not be able to answer.

nSome of them would mention the bidding system and say that the one who offered the most would win the bid.

nBut that wasn’t true.

nMost countries did indeed use the bidding system, but the ones with the higher bid wouldn’t necessarily win.

nTherefore, it wasn’t enough to say that the rights to the dungeons were determined by the bidding system.

n“Actually, it’s more of a screening than a bidding system.”

nIf a name had to be given to it, it would be more appropriate to call it a screening system.

nBut there wasn’t any clear indication anywhere on the screening criteria.

n“Naturally, it’s those government officials who set the standards.”

nIn other words, it was up to the government.

nIt was no problem to bid for any dungeon as long as the dungeon wanted you to do so.

nIt was the same for 7 Floor dungeons.

nWhen the Saviour Guild demanded a higher price to attack the dungeon, the Messiah Guild expressed its willingness to attack, and the Saviour Guild later revealed its willingness to attack as well.

nIn response to that, the French government said that they would select and announce the winning bidder after their internal consultations.

nThe consultation period was quite long.

n“So they’re going to give it to the kid who acts the cutest in front of them?”

nThis was done so that the two guilds could properly display their sincerity during the consultation process.

n“That’s right.”

nLee Jin-ah then shook his head and said.

n“If you had accepted it from the start then you would have cleared the dungeon and gotten the Death Knight skill instead of having to go through all of this, right?”

nThe look in Lee Jin-ah’s eyes was similar to a mother-in-law finding fault with her ugly daughter-in-law.

nIn addition, Lee Jin-ah’s words about Kim Woo-jin’s mistakes were correct.

nIf he had accepted the offer before, he would have obtained the right to clear the dungeon as well as the Death Knight skill page.

n“And I could’ve enjoyed the French cuisine in the restaurant.”

nNaturally, they could have also enjoyed the food that was served in the best restaurant in France.

n“A free meal flew away just like that.”

nAnd it was free!

n“I knew you’d messed up the moment we left.”

nKim Woo-jin didn’t respond to Lee Jin-ah’s words.

nInstead, he simply looked at a map on the desk while writing something with the pen in his hand.

nThen Lee Jin-ah walked over to him and said.

n“What’s that?”

n“A map of the Paris subway.”

n“A subway map? Why that?”

n“As you said, we have to show our sincerity to the French government.”

nLee Jin-ah tilted his head at those words.

n“Are you going to get them to support the Saviour Guild by using the Subway Station?”

n“It’s more than that.”

nKim Woo-jin looked at what he’d written before saying.

n“Cleaning.”

n“Cleaning? You mean cleaning the subway station of Paris, France? Holding the banner of the Saviour Guild while picking up a cigarette butt with a pair of tongs so that they’ll vote for us?”

nAfter saying that, Lee Jin-ah clicked his tongue.

n“Hey, I, Lee Jin-ah, am a man. If you want me to fight an Ogre, I’ll do it. But I will never do something that isn’t manly!”

nKim Woo-jin responded simply.

n“You’ll get your heart’s desire.”

n“Huh?”

n“What we’ll be cleaning in the subway is monsters.”

nIt was then.

nFrench news took the place of the show they were watching on TV.

n-21 people have been buried following the appearance of an Ogre who then destroyed the subway station, the government…

nEven if they couldn’t understand french, it was possible to figure out what was going on by watching the images and videos.

n“So when a monster appears, we’ll go hunt them in the subway stations that could possibly collapse?”

nSo Lee Jin-ah was able to see the scene that he would have to witness in person soon.

nThen he spoke carefully.

n“Why don’t we just have a signing exercise instead? I’ll work hard to get at least 10,000 people. I should have a bit of fame in France, shouldn’t I?”

nLee Jin-ah said his request very earnestly.

nNaturally, Kim Woo-jin ignored Lee Jin-ah, took out his smartphone, and made a call.

n“Who are you calling… huh? Huh!”

nAnd when the call was picked up immediately, question marks couldn’t help but appear on Lee Jin-ah’s face.

n…

nWhen the dungeon gate first appeared, and when they first learned the characteristics of the dungeon gate, everyone couldn’t help but nervously ask a question.

n“Will the subway be okay?”

nThe more populated a city was, the more complex the subway would be, so was the subway going to be okay?

nOf course, it wouldn’t be okay.

nThe dungeon gates that appeared on subway tracks were not easy to deal with, and the monsters that appeared out of them could cause all sorts of disasters depending on their types.

nThere were two ways to handle this.

nOne way was to simply collapse the subway, the other was to shut down the areas that were difficult to manage or collapse.

nThese were methods used in Paris, France.

nThe subway of Paris, which originally had 14 routes, had changed significantly after the world became a game.

nNevertheless, there were still many stations and many problems.

nAnd these problems only got bigger overtime.

nHigher floored dungeon gates began appearing, making it hard to manage the subway properly as stronger monsters began appearing from them.

nEventually, the French government made an announcement on October 29th, 2024.

nUse of the Paris subway has stopped!

nA major monster sweeping exercise has been initiated!

nIt will not stop until all the monsters and dungeon gates have been cleared!

nIt was the moment when the iron horses of France, which had been running for more than a century, stopped.

nThe French government then commissioned each guild to clean up the monsters in the Paris subway.

nThe French Guild Federation has difficulties negotiating with the French government!

nThe French Guild Federation demands more reliable treatment!

nBut the French guilds demanded a higher price from the French government.

nThe French guilds, who had already passed the point of no return, intended to use this opportunity to drive a wedge.

n-Those sons of bitches! They’re threatening the French government with the lives of French people!

n-Dammit! Is there anything we can do? Can’t we ask the players from Italy or Germany for help?

nㄴThey’re all a part of the European Guild Alliance so they’re all the same!

nThe French people’s opposition naturally skyrocketed, but there was truly nothing that they could do about it.

nThen a sudden reversal occurred.

nThe Saviour Guild begins sweeping the monsters in the Paris subway!

nThe Saviour Guild becomes France’s saviours!

nThe Saviour Guild began cleaning the Paris Subway.

nOf course, everyone knew why they were doing this.

n-Is this how they are bidding for the dungeon?

nTo step over the Messiah Guild and obtain the rights to the dungeon.

n-What a refreshing sight.

n-So there is a guild in the world that deals with monsters in order to bid for dungeons.

nOf course, from the perspective of an ordinary person, it was truly an admirable act.

nIn particular, the reactions of the French citizens, who were dealing with a major crisis due to the guilds’ strike, was particularly intense.

n-Those French guild bastards aren’t even worth half of the Saviour Guild!

n-Bring the Saviour Guild to France!

n-This is how it should be done! Just give the management rights to all of our dungeons over to the Saviour Guild!

nThey protested heavily against the French guilds while also praising the Saviour Guild.

nOf course, there were still some who tried to make rational judgements about the situation.

nCan the Saviour Guild really clean up the Paris subway?

nCleaning the subway is different from a dungeon attack!

nNo one disregarded the Saviour Guild’s capabilities, but wiping out the monsters in the subway was definitely different to clearing a dungeon.

nIn fact, unlike dungeons, there were many cases in history where people died in subways because the tunnel collapsed or other such accidents.

nThe enclosed space of a subway was not like the open and wide environments in dungeons which would allow them to use their abilities as they pleased.

n

n

n-By the way, does the Saviour Guild even know anything about the Paris subway?

n-Is there anyone among them who even likes Paris cuisine?

nMore importantly, it would definitely be a problem if they were to try something like that in Paris when there weren’t even any French members in the Saviour Guild.

nThe public opinion that it was just an unreasonable attempt in order to win the bid for the dungeon began to increase.

nOf course, this public opinion didn’t last very long.

nThe moment one name appeared, everyone accepted the fact that it was possible.

nKim Woo-jin makes an appearance!

nKim Woo-jin, “I alone am enough to clear the subway”!

nIt was the player who was most likely to perfectly clear the subway.
