Title: Wow, Chae Jise did it again yesterday

If Chae Jise hadn’t pointed out the poison pill clause, we might have missed it.
It was so subtle that even lawyers from major law firms took several reviews to notice… She was just attending as an observer but ended up making such a significant contribution.
└ What’s a poison pill clause?
└ It’s an unfavorable or disadvantageous clause. Basically, she caught something that could have scammed us.
└ Did you hear her Q&A in English and Spanish towards the end? They say she didn’t use a translation item.
└ I knew it. Chae Jise didn’t get into Korea University for nothing lol. It shows how smart and hardworking she is.
└ I heard through the grapevine from an acquaintance who’s Chae Jise’s classmate that she barely sleeps these days. She’s preparing everything meticulously.
Chae Jise did her job well.
Due to the drastically changed world and chaotic situation, there was much more to do than the initial plan of putting her forward as a ‘figurehead’. The responsibilities and weight she had to shoulder or take on kept growing.
It was a schedule that would be difficult for one person to handle alone, but far from making mistakes or showing signs of fatigue, she achieved excellent results every time and gained a good reputation.
-[Exclusive] Chae Jise establishes ‘Solaris’ guild. Fellow hunters express full support…….
-[Interview] Chae Jise researches future direction for hunters with Korea University’s Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation…… ‘Dreaming of the future in the post-Gate era’
Unlike how some people initially underestimated her for being young, Chae Jise established her own position by connecting her network, academic background, and personal abilities.
Connections with Korea University alumni, professors, and seniors built during her civilian days.
After becoming a hunter, relationships formed with various colleagues through her position as a healer.
She skillfully blended all of these with her own abilities, effectively utilizing them to create a guild and start businesses.
……And it became a huge success.
Title: Does Chae Jise see the future or something?
Content: If anyone’s interested in investing, follow the stocks Chae Jise buys.
Everything Chae Jise has touched so far has been a massive hit.
Invested in the web novel market as soon as the Gate Crisis hit and made it big
Then invested in the Elemes brand, which awakened as an SS-class crafting type, and it exploded
Now she’s invested in the potion manufacturing company Stelle, and it’s become an enormous success…
There are many more investments that have paid off big time. If we include investments we don’t know about, she’s probably beyond most chaebols [large family-owned business conglomerates].
Don’t buy crypto or stocks, just buy whatever Chae Jise is buying. Or just invest in businesses related to what Chae Jise has started. I’m going all in right now.
I guarantee this post will soon become a sacred site
└ Yeah… These days, everyone I know who invests in stocks knows. Chae Jise is good at investing. How has she not failed even once so far?
└ She must have a good eye for it
└ Does she really have precognition abilities? lol
└ She must be a regressor… There’s no way someone could succeed at everything like that without being a regressor.
└ Talking about regressors lol. Even with the Gates open, realistically, how could there be regressors? lol Stop reading so many web novels
└ She must have made a lot of money… What’s she planning to do with it?
└ Hey, I hope no one recklessly follows Chae Jise’s investments based on this post. While it’s true Chae Jise has succeeded a few times, there’s no guarantee it’ll continue like this
└ The comment above is right. Investments should be made carefully…
└ Maybe Chae Jise is just lucky
└ (OP) lol Anyway, I’m going all in. I’ve said my piece
(6 months later)
└ Visiting the sacred site. Please help me win the lottery and keep my family healthy
└ Visiting the sacred site. Please help me pass the Hunter Civil Service Exam this year ㅠ
└ Wow, so how much wealth does the OP have now? If I had invested just 10 million won then, how much would it be now?
└ I didn’t have 10 million won then… but if I had invested even just 1 million won after seeing this post ㅠ
└ If you didn’t sell midway, it must be a huge win
└ To think Chae Jise would be this successful in investing lol. It’s grown over a hundredfold in just a few months. Now even if you want to follow her investments, you can’t.
Everyone knows now, so whenever Chae Jise does something, people flock to it automatically ㅠㅜㅜ
└ Brother… Just one chicken… Please… My account number is…
└ Visiting the sacred site. Please help me get into the International Hunter High School this time
└ Visiting the sacred site. Please let me awaken…
In truth, Chae Jise really did have precognition abilities. The core strength of both Chae Jise and Chae Jiseok, the two siblings, was their precognition ability.
But that was a closely guarded secret. Without telling anyone, she made good use of her precognition skill and multiplied her money tremendously through aggressive investments.
“……Isn’t she unofficially the wealthiest hunter?”
“There’s a rumor that her wealth surpasses even the world’s No. 1 ranker.”
“Is she obsessed with money? Why is she so fixated on investing?”
“She might be more materialistic than we thought. Didn’t she invest heavily in luxury sectors like Elemes and hunter-exclusive department stores?”
Between praise for her business acumen and criticism for her apparent obsession with money.
Envious eyes were fixed on her, wondering ‘Let’s see how long her success lasts.’
‘It won’t last long.’
‘Was her dream to be a chaebol instead of a hunter?’
‘Is money her real goal while pretending to be righteous?’
‘What is she planning to do with all that money she’s hoarding?’
Just when curiosity reached its peak, Chae Jise held a press conference.
“……As many of you know, I’ve accumulated quite a bit of money.”
‘That’s an understatement…….’
“If it’s not too presumptuous, may I ask why you’re so interested in investing? Is there a reason you’ve amassed so much wealth?”
“Yes. In fact, that’s why I called this press conference.”
After a moment of silence, Chae Jise opened her mouth. How she planned to use the money she had accumulated so far.
“I want to use it to repair the damage we’ve suffered from the Gate Crisis.”
“Pardon?”
“It’s still not enough, but I hope it can be of some help in recovery efforts.”
It wasn’t just empty words.
That very day, Chae Jise established her own welfare foundation and used money generously to help people who lost their homes in the Gate Crisis.
People without a place to sleep, those who became penniless overnight, families torn apart.
The group that received the most support was minors who lost their parents in the Gate Crisis. Young heads of households who lost everything in an instant and were dropped into a world of monsters.
‘……Just like my case.’
Hyun Habin rested her chin on her hand as she sipped her orange juice.
The days when she lost her parents and was left alone, struggling to get through each day.
Days when she was full of misplaced pride and wariness, unable to even think of asking for help, enduring alone and struggling through each day.
[Hyun Habin-nim, you’re also eligible for support. Would you please visit our foundation?]
At the moment she was about to give up. An unexpected warm help.
The support money she received through the foundation from Chae Jise, whom she had never met at the time, was truly a ray of comfort.
‘Of course, as soon as I made money, I returned every penny I received to the foundation.’
It was Habin’s style to always return exactly what she received and end things cleanly. However.
‘……A benefactor is still a benefactor.’
Chae Jise was the only person Hyun Habin called a benefactor.
Habin awkwardly cleared her throat, ahem, avoiding eye contact as she slipped a bite of cheesecake into her mouth. Ahezar chimed in.
[Oh ho, Chae Jise, so she was a human who did such good deeds. A hero is not far away indeed.]
‘You’re saying something right for once, Jaljal.’
[Ahem, I feel strange. It seems like a compliment, but also not…….]
Ignoring his puzzlement, Habin mulled over the word ‘hero’ that Ahezar had mentioned.
Hero, pride, light.
People around the world call Fides the ‘hero’ of humanity.
Koreans call Kang Taeseo the ‘pride’ of South Korea.
They are the strongest. Because their feats of defeating monsters and maintaining order are impressive and cool.
But Chae Jise is called ‘light’, not a hero or pride.
Not everyone called her that, and some might think it was just a nickname because of her blonde hair.
However, Habin knew exactly what that title meant.
‘You could use all that money for guild expansion or other personal uses. How did you come to decide to use it for damage recovery?’
‘I heard that Jise-nim also lost her parents in the Gate Crisis and lives alone with her younger brother. Did you choose to donate out of empathy?’
Amid the flurry of questions, Chae Jise answered like this:
‘I thought everyday life was important.’
‘Everyday life?’
‘It’s not just about fending off monsters. Sleeping properly, eating properly, living with loved ones. If we can’t protect that, we can’t say we’ve truly protected the world.’
Not a hunter who saves the world, but a hunter who saves everyday life.
In that sense, Chae Jise’s nickname ‘National Healer’ had a dual meaning.
It meant both the top-ranked healer position and a hunter who greatly contributed to people’s recovery of daily life.
Until Korea fully recovered its functions as a nation, Chae Jise’s support projects were truly salvation for people who had long lived in broken daily lives.
Campaigns to build houses for those who lost their homes, free meals, and various other support projects.
It’s because of the people who received help then that even now, posts criticizing Chae Jise don’t appear carelessly on HunterNet.
Title: Don’t badmouth Chae Jise.
Content: Did you see yesterday’s interview?
When a reporter asked if she wasn’t tired from running the guild, charity work, and participating in international conferences without sleep,
She smiled and said, ‘I’m a healer, aren’t I? I can just heal myself’…. ㅠㅜㅠㅜ How can you criticize such a person without reason?
└ lol You’re so intense. Did Chae Jise build your house or something?
└ Yeah… She did…..
└ Ah….
└ lolololol This is why this happened…
That’s why posts comparing Fides vs Kang Taeseo or Kang Taeseo vs Chae Jiseok might appear occasionally, but Chae Jise was never mentioned in critical posts or comparison posts.
She was truly untouchable.
As a result, when posts about her younger brother Chae Jiseok appeared, they were often bundled as the ‘Chae siblings’ and received praise and defense, which says it all.
“Anyway, that’s why I really like you too, unni. I’m a fan, seriously. Saying we should save everyday life, not the world. That was truly a great quote.”
At Habin’s high praise, Chae Jiseok cautiously interjected.
“……Fan? You’re really a fan of our nuna? Really?”
Chae Jiseok looked back and forth between Habin and Jise with an incredulous expression.
“Why? Is there a problem?”
“No, it’s just… I’m having trouble adjusting to the idea of you claiming to be someone’s fan.”
Habin frowned as if disappointed.
“Huh, Chae-ssi. Despite how I look, I’m someone who clearly likes what I like. I’m a fan of the Netflix CEO who brings us interesting dramas, a fan of the YouTube CEO who gave us an ocean of videos. And you know what, I’m going to be a fan of that new café owner I just discovered. Their chocolate latte is insanely delicious.”
“…….”
