Chapter 84

There was no way to know that such a temple had been installed in Choi Yeonseung’s realm anyway. It could be noticed later when Choi Yeonseung’s household members or minions used the Elf's Shining Bow, but...

Choi Yeonseung was thinking of feigning innocence.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says you’ve got a big problem.]

‘What is it? Everything should be fine.’

[It says that none of the incarnation of training’s minions can learn ‘Elf's Shining Bow.’]

‘......’

That’s right.

Elf's Shining Bow was a 4th-circle magic spell. Since its creator was a constellation, who intended to give it to his household members, it was ranked A-. High-ranking skills were usually rare and powerful but difficult to learn. Among Choi Yeonseung’s current subordinates, Odaigon was the only one who could learn it.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

The orcs? It wasn’t even certain if they even knew how to use magic.

The Mount Hua Sect? They didn’t seem very good at magic either...

‘Well... I’ll have someone use it later.’

Choi Yeonseung passed over it. There was nothing to lose since it had already been installed!

***

The Blood Fortress now looked much better. The bloody and ugly river was gone, and the crazy huge fortress had disappeared. Its ground was barren and its surroundings were still empty, but the development had given him hope. He also created a temple building. When Choi Yeonseung plowed the ground and created a new decent-looking area.

“What comes into mind when you see this vast land?” Choi Yeonseung asked the orcs.

“L-Let’s see...”

“I’m not sure...”

The orcs were puzzled. The constellation asked them what they thought upon seeing this vast land. It was their first time experiencing this.

‘Shouldn’t we answer with anything?’

‘Yes.’

The orcs put their heads together and pondered over it. What answer did their new master want?

Garagoncha, the first one to learn the Green Dragon Axe Technique, slapped his knees. “I understand, Master! This vast land must be filled with slaves!”

“Hey. You’re pretty smart!”

“He’s always been that way!”

The orcs praised their companion for giving such a good opinion. The constellation would be very satisfied.

“... What made you think of such an ugly and bloody idea? What I was expecting to hear was farming.”

“... Farming?”

The orcs were once again shocked. Their race wasn’t built for farming. That’s why they ate other people's things or wild animals. Telling them to farm flustered them. They couldn’t figure out what he meant.

“What does Master mean?”

“L-Let’s see. What does this mean? Perhaps he’s trying to determine which of us is the stronger and more tenacious warrior...”

“Hey. You’re too smart!”

Other orcs marveled at Garagoncha’s terrifying intelligence. How could he be so smart?

“So farming is a way to pick out warriors?”

The only way that the orcs knew to pick out warriors was to cut, stab and hit each other. But farming?!

“We’ll be cutting and plowing that big piece of land. Isn’t that no different from fighting the earth itself?”

“Ohh...”

“Garagoncha...!”

Choi Yeonseung curiously listened to their conversation. Even if he talked like a dog, they still understood him perfectly!

‘I just told them to farm since this place has nothing.’

This realm would remain useless if they left it as it was, so Choi Yeonseung planned to produce and sell products here. He couldn’t keep ripping off soul stones from other constellations! Moreover, if they harvested something great, Choi Yeonseung could use it for cooking...

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ admires you. It says it really can’t keep up with your ideas.]

He didn’t have anything to sell, so he decided to start farming. It was a really amazing idea. A constellation of the common people!

[It says you’ll do well in politics...]

‘I think you should stop observing Earth.’

Choi Yeonseung opened the Space Pocket Necklace and rummaged inside. Most of its contents were precious monster meat. The orcs flinched as the smell of meat wafted out.

“That smells delicious...”

‘I’ve got plants in it, but I can’t grow any of them.’

The Abyss had no seasonings, so he had many plants that could be used as substitutes. He couldn’t use poisonous mushrooms. Farming required seeds, not these mushrooms.

“Let’s do this for now.”

“Ah, right. I got a call from Changsik.”

“Changsik hyung?”

Hwang Gyeongryong pouted when Choi Yeonseung seemed surprised.

“Hey. Who do you think has been feeding, helping, empowering, and supporting you this whole time?”

“I didn’t even say anything. Why are you so narrow-minded?”

“N-No. It isn’t that I’m narrow-minded. I’m telling you not to play with him because he’s cheap.”

The childishness of this man, who was over 50 years old, impressed Choi Yeonseung. This person was really consistent!

“Changsik doesn’t have much. He has a lot of money, but the Korean Association bullies him, and he has little influence among the hunter clan.”

“Shouldn’t you help him, then?”

“......”

Whoops!

Hwang Gyeongryong realized that he had used the wrong approach. Choi Yeonseung was the type to help if he heard something like this. He couldn’t just leave it alone.

“... O-Of course, he’s doing well as a director right now, so you don’t have to worry.”

“I saw an article about him the other day. He seems to be getting criticized a lot...”

“Hey! He’s an A-grade hunter! Why are you worrying about him?”

That was true. An A-grade hunter would always be rich enough to be a quasi-tycoon. If they put their mind to it, they could make as much money as they wanted.

“You came over as soon as the match was over. You can have fun or rest a bit. The Icarus clan training is going to be tough... Ah. No.”

Hwang Gyeongryong was about to speak, but he hesitated. Even if the Icarus clan had stricter training and rules compared to other clans, it meant nothing to Choi Yeonseung, a training-crazed bastard!

... Wasn’t that Choi Yeonseung’s nickname 30 years ago? The Icarus clan’s training would be like a sweet drink to Choi Yeonseung.

“I didn’t come here right away. I went to the Abyss and did some training.”

“Oh. Really? I want to see it as well.”

“I’ll take you there later.”

“Ohh... Can you protect me?”’

Hwang Gyeongryong was delighted. He would be able to see the Abyss thanks to his younger brother. People couldn’t easily step foot in the Abyss unless they were a madman or had a death wish. Many people had jumped into the gate enthusiastically to explore the Abyss, only to go missing without even breaking through the first floor. The best they could do was become a constellation’s household member and see parts of it. He hadn’t expected this opportunity!

“I came here for a different reason...”

Choi Yeonseung talked about the future he saw. Hwang Gyeongryong grew serious upon hearing about it. Just like any 1st generation hunter, he was sensitive to things like monsters jumping out and harming people.

“... In Las Vegas?”

“Yes. Please give me support. I’ll go and stop it myself.”

According to the future, it was obvious that the dungeon clear had failed. Choi Yeonseung had to go and finish the job. It was an opportunity to gain fame, wealth, items, faith... Above all, Choi Yeonseung was a 1st generation hunter. He wouldn’t stand idly by as monsters emerged nearby.

“... Hey. I can’t.”

“?!”

Choi Yeonseung was surprised.

“What’s going on, Hyung? Monsters are coming out, but you’re refusing? You’re not going to wait to gain more profits, are you?”

If he waited until the dungeon had cracked open and destroyed the monster after the uproar and commotion, he would get more fame and attention. However, Choi Yeonseung didn’t want to do that.

The pride of a constellation—no, his own pride!

“What do you see me as? That didn’t even cross my mind!”

“Then why?”

“Las Vegas isn’t under my jurisdiction...”

“......”

Hwang Gyeongryong was a powerful hunter and the chairman of an enormous group. He had also been entrusted with the authority over LA by the government. Other clans had also been entrusted by the government, albeit not on a similar scale. In return for stopping monsters from appearing in the city and managing safety and security, they would be granted enormous rights in that location!

Las Vegas was being managed by a different clan. If a hunter belonging to Hwang Gyeongryong’s clan entered it and said, ‘I’ll kill some monsters’, a fight would immediately break out.

“No... If it boils down to a battle over jurisdiction...” Choi Yeonseung muttered, troubled. It wasn’t on this scale, but even 30 years ago, there were quite a few fights and competitions between hunters.

We will enter this dungeon first. There is a limit on the number of people, so you should come after we’re done. We will deal with the monsters released here...

However, it was even worse in the United States compared to the cases in South Korea’s small territory.

“All I can do now is to go over there, explain the situation, and convince them...”

The question was how to convince them that their clan hunters were so weak that they wouldn’t be able to kill the monsters.

“Hyung, you said you went to the sauna with the president. Can’t you persuade them?”

“...Hey. You know how eccentric hunters are! Even those incapable of stopping the future you mentioned won’t listen to dirty words.”
