My Subordinates Are Insanely Competent

00032 #2 – My minions know no fear

#2 – My subordinate knows no fear(7)

The information merchant’s hideout has a very narrow structure.

A narrow passage through which only one person can pass at a time even if there are multiple intruders.

When traps such as blades or poison stings were triggered, the path that was inevitable was complicated and continued for about 5 minutes.

‘If the trap is triggered, it will actually last more than 30 minutes.’

Even in the worst case scenario, there is enough time to escape from enemy attacks.

He was an information merchant who was thoroughly prepared as much as he had committed a bizarre thing like a test.

Naturally, my expectations were getting higher and higher.

Information merchants also have a water supply.

The lowest level information merchants pick up street rumors, process them, and sell them.

Those who dream of becoming information merchants belong to the lowest level.

The value of information is limited to simply obtaining information that can be heard anywhere, whenever you want.

Low-level intelligence merchants gain access to hard-to-reach rumors and secret information and sell it.

The majority of information merchants belong to the lower ranks.

The value of the information is at a level that can be helpful for a full-scale quest or labyrinth exploration.

Intermediate information merchants can penetrate the truth hidden behind information and sell high-quality information, or control the flow of information according to their own intentions and induce long-term sales.

Only one out of 20 low-level intelligence traders can rise to the level of intermediate intelligence traders.

The value of information is outstanding enough to cause a trend in an area or trigger a specific event.

‘And this guy is a high-level intelligence trader or has a very high chance of getting to that level.’

Senior information merchants process the ‘flow’ of information, create countless storylines, and mass-produce and sell information with information. At this point, there is nothing in the world that cannot be sold.

Only one out of 20 intermediate information merchants can rise to the level of advanced information merchants.

The value of information can have a ripple effect around the world if it perfectly coordinates information in one area or induces an event that will have a ripple effect on a country.

“It’s okay to be happy. You’ve won a huge lottery. This is the first time that I have truly acknowledged that I am a customer. Lina, not even that child became my client.”

At the end of the stairs, as I approached the iron gate, I heard the voice of an old woman.

This time around, I was surprised.

I never thought that the assassin, Lina’s undercover would be uncovered.

‘Compared to the intelligence agents of any large organization or the state agents, you are highly alert and excellent.’

If you were a senior intelligence trader, you could do just that.

Low-level information merchants are scattered in every alley, and they are cheap bastards who blow information out of the box if you just stab them in silver. Was it to the extent that the luxuries, who like to talk, were caught off guard by the information?

From the lower level information merchants, the number is greatly reduced. We are seriously concerned about personal safety and pay attention to information trading. There are no more than four hundred people in one city.

There are fewer than 20 intermediate information merchants in one city, and most of them belong to a specific organization or lord. Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people even to make contact.

There is at most one senior intelligence merchant in a city.

No group can oppress them by mobilizing their physical force, and such an action is regarded as a challenge, and useful information flows into the hostile forces, causing great commotion.

Such a great high-level information merchant accepts the other person as a customer, not a user of information, and provides services by showing his true face. This is truly amazing.

‘Opportunity granted only to the head of a large organization, a hero-level strong man, and the highest level of the country’s top leaders.’

I was recognized as a great person to stand shoulder to shoulder with such giants.

He took the experience of his previous work and showed his insight based on it.

It received great reviews, but from my point of view, it was just natural.

coogong.

Fit geek.

A thick steel door that seemed to be intact even after being struck by the magic opened.

“Come in.”

The candles in the luxurious candlestick swayed in the wind. It was a candle holder with a very static and heavy atmosphere.

The sight of the shadows moving along the dancing candles felt quite unusual even to me, who was accustomed to the culture of the labyrinth city.

Beyond the luxurious and mysterious atmosphere, there was a man wearing a robe that gave the impression of a luxurious yet restrained upper hand.

“Impressive atmosphere.”

“I put a lot of effort into directing. For a long time, I thought it would have been in vain because I had not seen anyone but me, but thanks to that, it was not in vain.”

“If possible, I want to see the face beyond the robe.”

The informant giggled and laughed.

“Do you want to know the face of this old, ugly old woman? Stop it. Your eyes won’t be happy. Rather, it would be nice if there were no wrinkles on the forehead.”

“This is an opportunity to see the face of a valuable senior intelligence trader. I can see the existence that there are even rumors that it is not a human, but a dragon, but I wonder if they want the off-white color.”

“Chuckle. Also, you are special. Very different from the others. I can’t see the pride and greed that a man of that age would have instinctively, and the bravado and arrogance that go beyond fractions.”

The information merchant said with a smirk.

“good night. Let me show you something special.”

slurp.

The robe lifted, revealing the face of a senior intelligence trader.

For a moment I doubted that I had seen anything in vain.

young.

She also had a pretty and pretty face.

An appearance that is very different from the voice of an old woman who is roughly split.

But the sound of laughter is coming from right in front of you.

It must have been this woman’s voice.

“Strange.”

The information merchant made a dissatisfied expression.

“It’s even a little disappointing to see that there is no change in my expression even after looking at myself. Aren’t you surprised?”

“no way. I feel like I have been possessed by magic.”

“Chuckle. You just didn’t show it? That’s great equanimity. I like it more and more.”

The information merchant is a beautiful woman who wonders if she will be able to become like that when she is old enough to see her beauty blossom.

A woman with short hair, attractive features, and s*xy lips speaks in the voice of an old woman.

Even because of that heterogeneity, I don’t feel any s*xual desire.

attractiveness as a woman?

Rather, I only wondered if the bizarrely twisted monster was covered in human skin.

“Information merchant. I know you want something from me. But first, I want you to be satisfied with seeing each other’s faces and pass on the information.”

“great. Instead, there are special rules for trading information with me. Transactions are always prepaid. If the price paid is less than the desired information, the information will not be delivered.”

If you don’t even know the value of the information you want, you don’t even want to trade.

The extravagant behavior of choosing customers is an attitude that cannot be seen without some confidence in money.

Prior to that, if she had only unlocked all of the information she had, the Alphonse Kingdom would fall into great chaos and collapse, so it was enough to pick and choose the subject that provided the information.

“30 silver. Current location of usurer Bardon.”

“What is the standard for pricing?”

“10 silver for the search for a specific person. 10 silver additional allowance for dark house workers. Real-time location 10 silver.”

The information merchant nodded with satisfaction.

“After 30 minutes, I will give you the location information from this side in an appropriate way. If you want a deal again, let me come to you. There is no other information dealer who can handle a man like you but me.”

“i get it. When the time comes, I will not forget it and come to you.”

“Chuckle. He’s also a fun guy.”

The laughter of four years is more interesting, man.

It’s funny how funny

‘The time has come…’

As soon as they left the information merchant’s hideout, notifications poured in like a hail of rain.

[Class C Achievement Elite Customer Achievement!]

[You passed the Advanced Intelligence Merchant’s exam for the first time and perfectly. A senior intelligence trader who was so impressed by this amazing performance even recognized you as a customer.]

[Access to the high-level information merchant’s hideout has been granted.]

[The senior information merchant has allowed us to meet face-to-face.]

[Insight increases by 2.]

[Intellect increases by 1.]

[Charm increases by 1.]

[Acquire speech skills.]

[The level of speech skill rises sharply by achievement.]

[The proficiency of the speech skill has become advanced proficiency.]

Establishing relationships with senior information merchants and expressing trust.

Increase of abilities and acquire skills.

All of this is just an incidental benefit.

[You drew trust from an important person without the support of the system. He even actively proved his competence in the process.]

[Special titles are given by settlement according to a series of actions.]

[You have acquired the title ‘The Prospect of the Dark House’.]

prospect. This is a title conferred upon recognition by a person with strong force or power, or outstanding influence in any field.

Naturally, the difficulty of acquisition is insanely high, and if you do not acquire it early, it is not appropriate to hear that you are a prospect, so you will lose the qualification to acquire the title.

To put it bluntly, if you don’t acquire it within one year of the game time after the first play, the opportunity to acquire it is lost.

‘You sewed the first button right.’

At this point, I’m sure only a few top-ranked players have won the prospect title.

It was a great opportunity that I would not have had if Lina hadn’t introduced me to a senior intelligence trader.

“boss! it’s okay? I’m surprised you disappeared all of a sudden!”

“No need to worry. I only came here to get the approval of a senior information merchant for a while.”

“Ugh! Boss, that’s great! Did you see Big Mama’s face? yes?”

oh At first, that guy had a grandmother’s voice.

Is it called Big Mama?

It’s a nickname that won’t even make you smile when you think of his face, but he’s definitely using it because he wants it.

If camouflage is the goal, I’d say it’s a huge success.

I really don’t think men will flirt until they’re old enough to be curly and grandma.

It’s not that I don’t get the fuss, it’s that I don’t want to get it, so I can’t help but admire it even more.

It is a conscious act to avoid leaking useless information by being seduced by the attraction of the opposite s*x.

It is possible for a human with that skill to adhere to such a stoic attitude because he is suppressing all desires with pure mental power.

Considering that he is a human being in a position where he can make even a slim man squat under his feet if he wants, it can’t help but be surprised.

“It would be corrected.”

“really? thank god. Big Mama is a good person, so I was worried.”

“Enough to live another 60 years.”

“So many!?”

“If you eat well and live well without worrying about worries, you may live another 100 years.”

It’s not a joke, it’s the truth.

Somewhere in the labyrinth, there is also an elixir that extends lifespan.

If you are an advanced information merchant, there is nothing you cannot save.

“Is Big Mama a sub-race? It’s been a long time!”

“That’s it, let’s fill our stomachs for a while.”

We picked a suitable restaurant.

Lina was wearing a gloomy gray robe, so there was no needless attention.

If it was really frustrating, the restaurant owner inquired.

“Why is that human being like that indoors in midsummer?”

“If you look at your face, you die.”

Crime guild members.

There might be blood battles that kill each other on the roadside, but there’s no way you can’t hide your face.

But somehow the shopkeeper’s complexion turned pale.

[Wilhelm Meyer’s infamy increases by 1.]

“No, I didn’t mean to kill you. How can you be a prey for this guy?”

“Hey!”

[Wilhelm Meyer’s infamy increases by 1.]

“I’m not going to kill you. Do not crumple your face in front of the head of the table.”

“Aww”

[Wilhelm Meyer’s infamy increases by 1.]

I wrinkled my brow.

okay.

This bastard must be making fun of me right now.

“go away. Before I hit it and kill it.”

The store owner screamed and ran out of the store.

…No, in this case, you have to turn off to the kitchen.

If you leave the store and run away, what should we eat?
