263. The Last of the Shingaga (5)
“I, really, is this what I’m seeing real?······?”
The eyes of the public security hunter who received the documents trembled without mercy.
It was not because the proposal was too unfavorable to China.
On the contrary, the proposal made by Shin Se-hee was very advantageous to China.
She swallowed hard and checked the documents again to make sure there were no problems.
‘In this case, we will exclude the name of Utopia and replace it with the Chinese Public Security Hunter Association. In return, we will appoint Yu Won as the new landlord of Guangdong Province······.’
Even reading it again, it was an offer that I had absolutely no reason to refuse.
No, on the contrary, I liked the picture.
The husband, who could not stand to see Liu Jin, a landowner in Guangdong Province, commit atrocities, so he asked for help from the public security hunters, and they cooperated to finish it off.
In other words, it was possible to bring Utopia’s activities to China as they were.
‘Even Yuwon······. He’s retired now after getting married, but he’s still a hunter with a good image.’
Former A-class hunter Yuwon.
A veteran hunter who has completed numerous missions in a male body.
If it could just be like this.
Through this incident, the status of the Public Security Hunter Association, which had fallen, was restored, and it also gave me something to say about self-purification within China.
Stop.
The hand of the police hunter who was about to stamp the document stopped.
Rather, the proposal was so good that I was now beginning to have doubts.
She asked Shin Se-hee.
“What, what, why are you doing this to me······? Isn’t this of no benefit to Utopia?”
When she asked, Shin Se-hee pointed to a corner of the documents.
“Please look here.”
The public security hunter narrowed his eyes and read the sentence written on that part.
It was a part I had read a little while ago.
“Hmm, I will appoint the designated hunters as resident hunters in Guangdong Province······. I will give them priority for requests from the Chinese Public Security Hunter Association······. Hmm, these people······.”
The Chinese public security hunter tilted his head as if he still did not understand.
The 31 hunters that Shin Se-hee wrote down were all skilled hunters who were well-known in their own right.
There was absolutely no problem writing them down here.
‘Is there a reason why these were written here? What does Utopia have to do with them?’
As she looked through the hunter list with questioning eyes.
Shin Se-hee lowered her voice and spoke.
“······We owe them a debt. We received quite a lot of magic stones. You can probably find out if you check the magic stone transaction history.”
ah.
‘So you made a deal with these hunters. The original purpose was to smuggle magic stones!’
As China is a vast country, it produces a large amount of magic stones.
Doesn’t the export of mafic stones form a major part of Chinese industry?
‘These Chinese hunters acted as distributors for Utopia’s smuggling of magic stones into China?’
The police tracker’s eyes widened.
Naturally, smuggling of magic stones by foreign hunters is illegal.
Because there is no tariff.
‘But that doesn’t mean it’s a big enough sin to be overlooked.’
It’s just a backroom deal where they’ll plant these in Guangdong Province in exchange for lowering the tariff on these magic stones.
It’s nothing compared to what China will gain.
Rather, seeing this made the public security hunter even more trustworthy.
‘I rather like it.’
Shudder.
The Chinese police hunter suppressed the laughter that threatened to burst out and nodded seriously.
“Yes, well······. I think I can accept this much. Hmm, Utopia Party. Thank you for the deal.”
“Yes, please take care of it.”
thud.
So, stamp the document.
The conversation with the China Public Security Hunter Association has ended.
*
The place where the Chinese public security hunter left.
“Hahaha, Jin Yuha. Even I never thought of this!”
Shin Se-hee looked at me with a very excited face and said.
“Hahaha, revealing the small flaw of smuggling magic stones and covering up the real purpose.”
Shin Se-hee’s eyes sparkle as if stars are about to pour down.
“Appointing the Indian Rain Hunters as resident Hunters in Guangdong Province and giving them priority in missions! With this, we will be able to gradually exert influence in China!”
Let her say so.
The other party members also looked at me with surprised eyes.
“Indeed, Nureongi. Was that what you intended······.”
“Well, China and we aren’t on good terms. But the Indians are crazy people who follow the Jinyu religion······.”
“Wow, you’re amazing······. I just got goosebumps······. Your swordsmanship, your beauty, and now even your brain······.”
“oh my god.”
Well, I couldn’t help but look away with a flustered face at the party members’ excitement.
‘Uh, um, that wasn’t my original intention······.’
There was no particular reason why I made concessions to China this time.
Because I gained so much from this expedition.
I’m saying this because I feel like it would be unconscionable to take any more from here.
First of all, the red belt tied around Kang Do-hee’s waist right now.
[ Belt of Spirit ]
A magical item that increases the training efficiency of a striker’s awakened skills by 30%.
In the original game, it was an item that could be obtained by defeating Ryujin with a low probability.
Since it’s reality and not a game, it can be brought to life with certainty.
To Kang Do-hee, who only used striking and did not use any other equipment, it was an item more valuable than any other artifact.
And the second one.
Shin Se-hee’s hidden piece.
[Shinga Bodyguard]
Originally, you would have to go to various gates and sites to find the scattered dragon balls, obtain them one by one, and obtain their obedience.
I got them all in one go before they scattered and got them in one lump.
There is also a family called Shinga.
All the materials and assets there were transferred to Shin Se-hee.
Now, there was virtually no reason to worry about money.
Up until this point, the rewards were already overflowing.
I stared blankly at the pure white magic stone in my hand.
[White Horse Stone]
Shasha Pong, who had a deep shadow on her face since we first met, gradually regained her appearance befitting her age after reuniting with her father.
– Thank you, Jin Yu-ha!! Ah, from now on! I will bury my bones, my bones in the Indian prayer service!!! I will never let those who curse Jin Yu-ha be left alone!!!!
Shasha Pong clenched his fists and spoke with a gleam in his eyes.
– He, and Ho, if you ever······. Ju, if you ever come to China, please, please contact me! Je, my number!!!
Shasha Pong put a crumpled piece of paper in my hand and ran away.
I smiled lightly as I looked at Shasha Pong’s back.
-······.
And Shasha Pong’s father, Yuwon.
He looked at me blankly with a serious expression.
thud!
He immediately knelt down and bowed.
– Daehyeop, I have received a favor that I cannot repay!
– Oh, oh, oh, don’t do that!
I was embarrassed by him and tried to wake him up.
He was stubborn.
– No. If it weren’t for the Great Swordsman, Shasha and I would have already been dead. How could I raise my head in front of the benefactor who saved my daughter and me and even laid the foundation for us to start over!
Then he placed the white stone in his hand.
– I will live my whole life in gratitude, but I know this is not enough. However, I do not have the ability to pay the price of salvation to the Great Swordsman today, so I will give this… to the Great Swordsman. It is our family heirloom!
So Yuwon handed me the white horse stone.
Even severing what was originally connected to one’s own mana.
– Okay, I’ll take it! Hey, lift your head!!
That’s how I was able to obtain the white stone.
‘Hmm, it’s true that I had half-aimed at it when I first helped Shashapon······.’
It really felt special to get my hands on this.
This is an item that can really only be obtained through gacha.
Even with an extremely rare probability of 0.01%!
‘Anyway, so I thought it would be unconscionable to ask for more, so I tried to do something good for China······.’
I was startled.
Guangdong Province was now in a state of chaos.
The bugs that were gathered to deal with the Shinto flower ran rampant, and the landowners changed in an instant.
The surrounding areas, already oppressed by Ryu Jin’s evil deeds, were eyeing Guangdong Province.
It was a perfect time to take over Guangdong Province.
But if we continue to employ the hunters who worked under Ryu Jin and Shin Do-hwa, they’ll have to be a little dirty.
At that moment, what suddenly occurred to me was that my fan club Hunters were just waiting nearby.
And that’s why I brought up the story of smuggling magic stones.
The intention was to just pay taxes and take it proudly.
As soon as Shin Se-hee heard the story, she wrote the scenario herself.
‘······Hmm, I don’t know. It’s good, it’s good.’
Well, if that was beneficial, wouldn’t that be a good thing?
While I was rolling the white stone in my hand like that, I was organizing my thoughts.
A voice heard from the side.
“Huh, junior······.”
He was a senior in autumn.
“yes?”
“Th-That, that, will you give it to me?”
She spoke without taking her eyes off the white stone.
Senior Autumn is fidgeting like a puppy that needs to go to the bathroom.
I nodded and smiled.
I have to give it to you.
Unlike other magic stones, this white magic stone can be recharged freely and has exceptional efficiency.
Of course, there are endless things you can do with this white stone.
It is also true that there is no one more suitable for the position.
“Yes, I will give it to you.”
Im Ga-eul’s expression brightened at my answer.
but.
“Not now. Later.”
“······What, what!?”
“I have something to test right now.”
“Me, later when!? When?”
But Senior Autumn ran up to me and grabbed my arm.
“Huh, junior?”
I turned my head towards the party members, pretending not to hear.
“Okay, let’s wrap this up for now and go back quietly like we came.”
“When are you going to give it to me?”
So we were able to successfully wrap up the Shin Ga episode and return to the Academy.
“No, when are you going to do that─!!”
