Chapter 52: Press Conference
The news of Jun-woo's press conference was rushed by broadcasters.
Various guild officials also came, and people from the Association also came.
In particular, most of the Association members, including the Alchemy Association president, attended.
The location was on the first floor of Jun-woo's construction site, which was being extended.
People began to sit on the chairs provided.
Cameras were placed everywhere.
Jun-woo showed up at 2 pm as promised.
Jun-woo, who walked to the podium, looked around once and put his mouth on the microphone.
"First, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the bodyguards who died while protecting me and pray for their well-being."
Jun-woo bowed his head once.
Jun-woo raised his head and said.
"I asked for the press conference because I thought there would be a lot of questions about me, so I prepared this place to explain. If you have any questions, I will answer them."
Reporters hurriedly raised their hands.
"Reporter Golden Flower?"
"I'm Choi Il-Hyeon, a reporter from the Golden Flower Newspaper. First of all, congratulations on your safe return."
"Thank you."
"The Adamantium watch made by Lewis had almost the same effect as the producer G. Is Lewis the producer G?"
"Producer G is the pseudonym I used before I was imprisoned."
"Ah… thank you."
At Jun-woo's reply, the hall became noisy.
"This is reporter Lee Jae-jun. You described it as confinement. How did you manage to stay there for so long?"
"The Galactriko leader had a special ability to disappear. The Galactriko leader does not disappear now because I have the leader's items."
"Can you show me which item it is?"
Jun-woo took out a small button from the item window.
Of course, the number of uses was 0, and the value was reduced to a million gold, a useless item.
However, the camera zoomed in on the useless item, and the camera was taken.
Jun-woo said after putting the button back into the item window.
"You can go to another dimension by pressing the button. I stayed there for 125 days."
"Did you have enough food?"
"Yes, we have enough water and food, so we don't run out of water for several years."
"Could you please use that item a little while ago?"
"All right."
People's attention was drawn to Jun-woo's answer.
Jun-woo took out the button and said.
"It disappears when you press the button."
When Jun-woo pressed the button, as Jun-woo said, Jun-woo, who was on the podium, disappeared without a trace.
A buzzing sound spread through the hall.
Daehan's deputy master Choi Shik-Hyeon asked Golden Flower's deputy master, who was sitting next to him.
"Do you know where I went?"
"No, not even a warp… he’s really gone."
In fact, Jun-woo had simply gone down to the underground workshop by changing the location.
After looking around to see if the robots were doing well, Jun-woo returned to his seat after the skill cooldown had passed.
People's eyes widened when something that didn't exist appeared.
"thanks for showing me."
Jun-woo put the button in the item window.
The question continued.
"Are you a blacksmith? Are you an alchemist?"
"It's a special little blacksmith."
"Can you tell me about the rating?"
"I will leave that up to you."
Reporters were busy raising their hands.
"I heard that you will stay in Korea. Aren't you afraid of the Dark Star's threat?"
"As I showed you, I have a button. They would be in vain even if they said they would come back. And because they will know I am alive, I believe there will be quick cooperation between the guilds in Korea, Japan, and China."
"Is there any specific reason for staying in Korea? I know he has a close relationship with Fabregas."
"Korea is the country where I was born and raised. Although I was humiliated by the criminal organization due to my lack of strength, I will do my best in Korea to ensure that such a situation does not happen again."
In fact, the biggest reason Jun-woo stayed in Korea was because of the Quest.
"Do you have a guild that you have set aside?"
"I plan to create a guild soon."
At Jun-woo's remarks, the hall became noisy again.
Typing speed increased.
"What is the purpose of creating a guild? Do you have anything to do with Dark Star?"
"The reason for creating the guild is to protect the region, protect the people, and cooperate with the guild to protect Korea."
It was a formal response to the establishment of the guild.
The reporters raised their hands, but Jun-woo had time to finish.
"I will no longer take questions. And I have one thing to tell you here. On the 111th day since I was imprisoned, I kidnapped the Dark Star's deputy master, Yuma Yamazaki, who was called the King of Destruction of Japan, using a button."
At Jun-woo's words, people's eyes widened once again.
"And I killed Yamazaki Yuma there. Dark Star has not revealed it yet, so it seems the world doesn't know, but it's true."
Daehan's deputy master Choi Sik-Hyeon looked at Jun-woo with wide eyes.
"Are you a legend? … ."
"Is it true that you killed Yamazaki Yuma?"
Jun-woo said leisurely.
"We welcome the challenge of criminal organizations at any time. Like Yamazaki Yuma, I will take them one by one and kill them myself."
Jun-woo continued.
"Finally, a watch will be on sale on the Lewis website tonight, and you'll find various other items in the future. Thank you."
As Jun-woo walked away, reporters hurried to run.
"Did you really kill Yamazaki Yuma?"
"How did you kill Yuma? Did you do it alone?"
"What kind of things are you planning to sell in the future?"
Murata smiled and looked at Jun-woo from afar.
"You're cheating once and for all."
"That's it. But the only people who know about it are my brother and me, right?"
"You'll have to do a good job of enlisting, Yoshimura."
"Oh, of course. You have to be careful with your mouth, so the bomb doesn't go off in your body."
Murata looked out of the building.
Countless people were coming from all directions.
"They are coming."
"Aren't you a legendary producer? In a way, it makes sense."
A crowd of people looked around and entered through the entrance on the first floor.
"Where can I sign up for a guild?"
"I haven't heard the details yet."
"Get out of the way, get out. I said first."
As people poured in, Na-rin Park exclaimed.
"I haven't heard from you yet! Please come back."
Despite Na-rin Park's call, they did not back down.
From that day on, the building went up quickly.
And two days later, the guild was founded, and its name was Aegis, an English name.
The guild's Master was, of course, Jun-woo, and the first deputy master was Shin Shin-Seung, the president of the Blacksmith's Association.
Only Jun-woo and Shin-Seung had the right to join the guild, and Lee Mina, who could detect mana, helped Shin-Seung and went out with the guild members.
Said Lee Mina.
"Try to hit it with all your power."
A man who came to take the test hit the stone standing next to him with all his might.
"Saab!"
"Skills as well."
The man hit stones with his skills.
Lee Mina restored it to its original state as the stone smashed and landed.
"Yes, I saw it. It's below the standard. come next time, next minute."
The man shook his head and left, followed by a woman in her early 20s.
Lee Mina confirmed the application.
A 20-year-old, level 32, class was a magician, and his occupation was a detective.
"Did you write about your occupation as a detective?"
"Ah yes! I specialize in sensing."
"Well… Now, this is ten."
Lee Mina summoned a fireball in her right hand.
And slightly lowered the mana.
"How old is it now?"
"7?"
"Now?"
"8."
"Now is it?"
"It’s five."
It was similar to the figure she had thought, so Lee Mina took out a fireball and looked at her again.
"Do you have any skills to show off?"
"Running?"
The woman started running around the exam hall.
Her running speed was fast as if she had taken agility, and the wind wrapped around her legs as if she had used a skill.
"Stop. What exactly is your job title?"
"that… It's a beginner's test."
Magic that was not at max level was not selected.
Even at max level, Magic could be required to join a guild only if it possessed characteristics or had high stats in a particular case.
However, it was a clear advantage that her detection ability was excellent.
"Can you show me more?"
"No, there is, but… there… … ."
When the woman hesitated to speak, Lee Mina said as if frustrated.
"Speak comfortably."
"that… There is something down here."
Lee Mina's eyes, who had been bored, gleamed with vitality.
"What do you mean?"
"that… It's not exact, but I think there's something."
Web wizards blocked Jun-woo's underground workshop from leaking mana 24 hours a day.
All six underground vents were also hung with webs.
It was a 10-layer web that even a warp could not penetrate.
But she pierced it and sensed it.
This was something that even a unique+ level wizard could not do.
"Successful. Talk to the Master later for more details."
"Eh? Thank you!"
Her name was So-Hyun Jeong, a woman to be assigned as a detective in the Aegis Guild building.
At that time, Jun-woo received a production request from the trading room on the first floor of the guild.
Since all the rooms were being recorded, the transaction proceeded quickly.
"Thank you. Thank you very much."
"Come back in two days."
"So fast?"
"Yes, I am waiting for the next person."
"Ah yes! Then please."
The Golden Flower guild member nodded and left.
Then, a guild member from Daehan came in.
"Hello?"
"Good day. Please sit."
"This is such an honor. Even just a handshake… … ."
When Jun-woo lightly held out his hand, he took both of them and bowed his head.
"Haha… It's also the blacksmith's hand. The calluses."
"Shall we trade?"
"Ah yes! Gloves. Please look here."
Jun-woo handed over 95% of the collateral that the employee had chosen.
"Excuse me for my intrusion, Lewis."
"Sure. Go on."
"Yeah! See you next time!"
Jun-woo accepted requests from Daehan and members of the five powerful guilds in Seoul.
First of all, most Epic+ was their request.
And as the rumor spread, the neighboring countries, Japan, China, and Russia, also made requests.
Inquiries for Epic+ continued to come in despite the high fees.
After receiving all the promised items, Jun-woo checked the watch and started reading the book.
The book was about drones.
-beep.
"Boss, it's time to sell watches. Would it be okay if I let the waiting people in?"
"Yeah."
Jun-woo closed the book and started selling watches.
Although the watch was worth 2 billion gold, it was sold out all three days after it started selling.
"I will write really well."
"Yes, thank you for your purchase."
One by one, they quickly bought watches.
After selling all the watches, Jun-woo left the trading room and entered the master room.
An elevator going down to the basement was connected to the master room on the first floor.
Jun-woo got on the elevator and went down.
As the elevator opened, a thick iron plate appeared in front of him.
Jun-woo took out a silver card from the item window and put the card in.
Then, the light was emitted from the thick iron plate, and the door opened.
As Jun-woo entered, the door closed.
It was a door he made through a blueprint that worked well.
‘Is it working? I'll have to tell Eumeria next time.'
This door was made by Jun-woo for the entrance of Eumeria.
Smash! Smash! Smash!
And in the underground workshop, work was carried out based on the hot heat.
Jun-woo looked at the creation of an auxiliary robot to use the prepared 80 billion gold.
[Lv.5 auxiliary robot creation]
-Rank: Legendary+
-Active: You can create a secondary robot to help you craft it.
– Craftable List: Evolutionary Blacksmith Robot x2
Function robot x1
Assistant robot x1
task leader robot x1
Since there is gold, you can see how things change when you reach level 5.
‘It seems that the number of boss robots is increasing, and the effect is improving?'
[Evolutionary blacksmith robot material]
-4,000 iron ore
– 3,500 titanium
-300 Adamantium
– 100 Mithrils
– 1 top-grade magic crystal
– 30 Greater Golem Soul Stones
[Ingredients Required for Evolution]
-3,000 iron ore
– 3,400 titanium
– 290 Adamantium
– 1 top-grade magic crystal
– 30 Greater Golem Soul Stones
Looking at the materials used to make it, for a moment, Jun-woo thought that although a magic stone is also a magical stone, a golem's soul stone could be his essential item.
Because the Quest given at level 90 was to collect 100 golem soul stones.
[Collect Golem's Soul Stone.]
-Description: Countless golems inhabit the Earth Square. A lot of the ingredients you need are there. Before you reach level 100, try to collect soul stones.
-Method: Before reaching level 100, catch the Golem in the Earth Square and acquire 100 high-grade or high-grade soul stones.
-Reward: [Stat Bonus +10] [Basic Book of Magical Engineering]
And the reward seemed to be the knowledge of the job that the system would grant for the first time.
Rather than raising the auxiliary robot level, Jun-woo raised the skill level of the self-destruct robot and the cannonball robot one by one in 40 billion increments.
Now, rather than the build-up to earn money, it seemed that the Quest had to be completed quickly.
