I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 30

Chapter 30

– Wow, does she even write down the recipe? It certainly benefits me. In the future, it will be possible to start mass production, – said the guy.

Song Hoon grabbed the pendant, which hung in the air: it did not fall because it was affected by magic. Then he looked towards the stairs leading to the first floor. Right now, Sung Hoon was in the basement of the house, where he had set up a room for training mana.

However, here he not only conducts training. Here, the wizard also established magic circles required for various things.

With the pendant in hand, the guy climbed the stairs and called his mother:

– Mom!

– What, son? She said.

The woman, as always, watched serials in the living room.

“Try this on,” Song Hoon handed her his piece.

– Hmm? What is this suspension? It looks unusual, – my mother looked at the pretty little thing with interest.

– I made it myself. Using the skills of the Awakened One, the son explained.

Mom was slightly surprised at what she said, but then she laughed.

– Then this thing also has some kind of power, as shown on TV? She suggested.

“ Yeah, ” Song Hoon nodded slightly.

He handed over the pendant and moved to the refrigerator.

– Really? – the woman twisted the gift in her hands, examining it from all sides.

– Of course it’s true. Now the world is going crazy, and you, too, could be in danger, which is why I made this call for you. So be sure to wear it, okay?

– Son … – tears appeared in my mother’s eyes.

– Well, why are you crying again? Can’t a son take care of his mom?

– But still … I have nothing to pay you with …

– Mom, don’t say that! Why do you …

While they were talking, the doorbell rang. Someone has come.

– Mom, did you order something?

– There is nothing.

– Then who is it?

“Well, whoever he is, thanks to him for saving me from this situation. Fuh … Mom is so easy to touch, “the guy was glad to be distracted.

– Who’s there?

“Song Hoon, this is Lee Gi Suk,” he heard the unexpected visitor’s voice.

On the intercom screen, he saw the executive director.

***

– You are very busy, how did you manage to find the time and come to us? The visit surprised Song Hoon.

“This is something worth coming for yourself,” the man explained. – Oh, thank you, – he thanked the boy’s mom.

They were in the living room of Song Hoon’s house. Mom gave them tea. Lee Gi Suk introduced himself to her, she smiled and bowed her head slightly, then returned to her room.

“She’s fully recovered,” Lee Gi Suk looked after her.

– All thanks to the mandrake. I’m still grateful for that, “the guy said.

Lee Gi Suk waved his hands.

– No, you are always welcome! We help each other.

– But still, from the position of my son, I am very grateful to you. By the way, why did you come? Only a week has passed since our penetration into the dungeon.

It’s been one week since they cleared the yellow monkey dungeon. Normal Awakened Ones would not have had time to restore their mana to the end during this time.

– Take a look at this.

Lee Gi Suk showed him the documents.

– This … – the guy read the first page. – An assignment to close a rank 1 dungeon?

The first line of the document indicated a dungeon formed in the Gangnam area, next to which there was a mark “Not cleaned”.

“Yes,” the executive director nodded. – As far as we know, you have not yet reached level 50.

– This is true. Last time I only reached level 35.

So far, the level limit in this world was 200th. Based on this, Song Hoon still had a long way to go.

– But you will not deny that your abilities are much higher than this?

“So…” Song Hoon looked at the document again. – The government asks me to clear this dungeon?

– Yes. As you can see in the documents, this dungeon is much more dangerous than the previous one. Even Team Alpha …

Lee Gi Suk never stopped talking, but they both knew what would happen at the end of this conversation.

“… Would have died. Even Team Alpha could have died in this dungeon. ”

– We made a lot of attempts to clear the dungeon. This was done not only by our people, but other companies as well. Even the army got involved in this task. A lot of information came from them. You can find it on the next page.

Song Hoon flipped through the document. On the second page, he saw a photo of an object unknown to him – either a crystal, or a stone, similar in shape to a diamond. Nearby it was written: “The Stone of Return.”

– What it is? Sung Hoon looked inquiringly at the executive director.

“This item allows you to get out of the dungeon without clearing it,” explained Lee Gi Suk.

– I wonder how you found out? Sung Hoon asked.

The world is huge. What does not happen.

– The team of another company found out about it. They said that such a stone can be found in the dungeon itself. But this is impossible without the Awakened One, who has intelligence skills.

“Oh, that’s how. So this is a dungeon item? Well, of course. This is the good nature of the Akasha system towards humans. She will not let them die just like that, “the guy thought.

“The existence of the Hearthstone was reported three days ago. After that, a rule was introduced that in each group there must be an Awakened One with intelligence skills.

– To escape if something happens?

– To her.

– Hmm, information is spreading much faster than I thought …

“Humanity in this world is simply outstanding. In a past life, everything went much slower. ”

“Because of this whole dungeon situation, the world summit even decided to arrange an urgent meeting.

– What is this world summit?

– The presidents of interested states decided to get together. However, most countries have enough of their own problems, so they will not gather physically, but will simply hold a video conference, “Lee Gi Suk said and, hastily sipping a sip of tea, burned himself. “Oh, it’s all because of the experience,” the man said, embarrassed.

– Drink, take your time.

– Yes thank you. In general, due to the current situation around the world, there is a large death toll. The exact number is not yet known, but some cities have been completely destroyed by monsters.

“Uh-huh …” Song Hoon shook his head.

This is a really scary situation, but the guy suddenly had other thoughts:

“Is this really such a huge problem?”

He remembered his past life. The world that Song Hoon remembered was even worse than it is now.

– If you look at the third page, you will read about the consequences that will happen if you do not clear the dungeons. Especially what formed in the city center. Then the economy will be destroyed not only in this area, but also throughout the country, “Lee Ki-suk continued to say excitedly.

“And the concerned government needs the help of our group? The guy asked, grinning.

– Yes. Your team is the only one that has cleared the dungeon without serious injuries or casualties, explained the executive director. “Plus, they say the yellow monkey is much stronger than other dungeon bosses.

“Hmm… HD Group wants me to do this, right?” Song Hoon asked bluntly.

– Yes. And this time we even urge you. This is a challenge where the lives of millions are at stake!

“Yeah, that’s a problem…” agreed the wizard.

But although this is a matter of life and death for an entire nation, even for huge sums of money, not everyone will die. However, Sung Hoon certainly didn’t think his life was in danger.

“Well, I think I can handle it. If they say that the yellow monkey is much stronger than other bosses, then there will be no problems. But I don’t know what kind of monsters live in the first rank dungeon, and this territory is unknown … However, with the help of this task I can do everything faster. ”

Song Hoon put his thoughts in order.

“Okay, I’ll agree, but on my own terms. And I also need a team that I can trust. ”

“I’ll do it,” he said after thinking it over carefully.

– True? Lee Gi Suk asked, delighted.

– But not for nothing.

“If I get the materials I need with this assignment, I can reduce one year to a few months.”

– If you need something …

“Okay, let’s see…” Sung Hoon interrupted, and then paused, trying to figure something out. – About five hundred billion. Yes, it seems that this should be enough.

– What? Lee Gi Suk’s eyes widened in surprise.

– Kernels. The government is providing me with five hundred billion won magic cores, and I will clear five dungeons.

Sung Hoon smiled, and Lee Gi Suk fell silent at such a huge demand.

***

– As you already know, I have many abilities. And one of them is creating items.

Lee Gi Suk sat in a sedan provided by the company. He rubbed his eyes, remembering a conversation that happened shortly before.

– The ability to create items is really a very valuable skill …

With it, you can fill an item with mana, or improve the skills and characteristics of the person who uses it.

Awakened with the ability to create items are less common than Players with combat skills, and without them, humanity would have a hard time trying to cope with all the challenges of the system using science alone.

Therefore, the value of such Awakened Ones is very high. However, Players with top-notch combat skills, who also have a high level, are still a priority. Since each of them can cause significant damage, most of them are directly related to national defense.

While the man was thinking, his phone rang.

– Yes, Lee Guy Sok is listening.

– Mr. Lee, how did your conversation end?

It was the director of HD Holdings, Park Dae Suk. His voice was heard in the receiver.

– He asked for additional conditions.

– What are they?

– It requires five hundred billion won cores. As we assumed, he admitted that he possesses the skill of creating items. However, he is going to make something for himself from the cores.

“Hmm… Does it mean that he creates objects like his cube? – asked Park Dae Suk.

– Yes. As he said, this is equipment that he creates for his own safety, – confirmed the executive director.

– Clear. Sounds like an excuse. What do you think the government will answer?

“I think they will have no choice but to give him what he wants,” Lee Gi Suk said his opinion.

Five hundred billion won. This is the price of two modern combat aircraft. Song Hoon now literally demanded to be paid an amount equal to their value.

If it were a top-class Awakened, then that kind of money could be paid. After all, their value was like a national weapon.

However, Song Hoon was only level 35 right now. And he estimates his worth at five hundred billion won?

The answer is yes.

After all, besides Song Hoon, no one can handle it right now.

– Only he is able to clear the first rank dungeon. According to our report on future military expenditures, we are allotted about two trillion won per year to clear ten dungeons. Isn’t five hundred billion a cheap price to pay for an early solution to the problem? – Lee Gi Suk reasoned.

– Yes it is. But when did politicians count money rationally? If they don’t have their own profits, most of them will sell their country … But this time, I think it will be like this guy said. All problems are due to this stupid level limit.

– Yes, but not only because of this, public opinion is getting worse over time. If politicians are asked to spend only five hundred billion to clear these dungeons, they will be in favor with both hands.
