YM778.TV Chapter 172
It wasn’t possible for a normal adventurer to capture a level 50 Gorgatris alive .
It might be possible to kill it in a raid, but it would be impossible to capture it alive and bring it to Earth .
“How about if it’s a giant guild or a clan?”
“Also impossible . There’s a limit to adventurers . For example, is it possible for a caveman to kill a modern-day soldier?”
“That bad, huh…?”
“That’s the difference between a Lord and an adventurer . ”
“Hm… Looking at you makes me believe that . President Moon, that cheeky old man… Looks like he’s gotten himself a Lord as his partner? Maybe I should be a little more careful from now on . ”
“Careful?”
“Don’t we have a new competitor now unlike before when we were almost monopolizing South Korea?”
“Hmph, what competition?”
Kang Chul-In smirked .
“There is no competition for me . ”
“Huh?”
“Who dares to?”
“Ha…”
“ . . . ?”
“Sometimes, it’s not very good to be that confident . ”
As if he were talking from experience, Old Man Kwon gave advice .
“The world is wide, and there are many strong people . I, myself, also thought that I was definitely the strongest in South Korea . That changed when I met my sworn brother . Oh, I’m not saying that you should look down on yourself . I’m just saying that sometimes you need to know to lower yourself, and that you shouldn’t look down on…”
“Old man . ”
“Huh?”
“How many lords do you think are stronger than me?”
Kang Chul-In’s sudden question startled Old Man Kwon .
“You mean your rank?”
Old Man Kwon seemed to speculate for quite a bit of time, and opened his mouth cautiously . He knew that Kang Chul-In was a Lord, but he didn’t have any information on the Lord rankings .
“Maybe 15th…?”
“1st . ”
“Kuk!”
“I’m 1st on the Overlord rankings . ”
“Huk…! You were an Overlord? A-And, you’re ranked 1st?”
Old Man Kwon was extremely shocked .
He knew how strong Kang Chul-In was, but he didn’t know that he would be the strongest .
“You disappoint me . I didn’t think that I would need to tell you myself for you to know that . ”
Kang Chul-In spoke, his face stiff .
“N-No!! I-It’s just a misunderstanding . ”
“No, I know how you think of me now . ”
“I told you, it was a mis…”
“Looks like I’ll have to go look for a new partner . One that doesn’t think lowly of me this time . ”
“N-No, it was my fault!”
Realizing he had made a mistake, Old Man Kwon begged .
“Huhu . . . Huhuhuhu…”
Old Man Kwon laughed embarrassedly, and tried to appease Kang Chul-In’s anger .
“Hm… What can I do to make it so that you’re not angry at me anymore?”
Old Man Kwon offered .
“If you can calm down, there’s nothing I can’t do . Come on, just tell me what you want . I’ll do it for you . ”
“Ferrari . ”
“ . . . !”
“I don’t have a Ferrari in my collection . ”
Old Man Kwon realized---
Dammit!
That he had been baited .
It was the 3rd time now, after having to give Kang Chul-In a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, and a Bugatti supersport .
“I-Is that so? Haha… There can’t not be a Ferrari in your collection…! S-So, the model that you want…?”
“LaFerrari . ”
“U-Ugh…”
Old Man Kwon was startled .
“P-Please forgive me this once… A LaFerrari is practically impossible to…”
“I thought I saw a LaFerrari in the parking lot? Are my eyes weird?”
“ . . . !”
“I need to guess whose car that is, then . I mean, the president of the company’s car is a porsche, and someone else rides a LaFerrari? I wonder how great that person is, then, for them to…”
“Here you go . ”
With trembling hands, Old Man Kwon handed something towards Kang Chul-In . It was a car key, with the logo of Ferrari on it . Even though Old Man Kwon was a Porsche maniac, he also owned a LaFerrari .
“Thanks . ”
Laughing, Kang Chul-In took the car key from the old man .
“Don’t worry about Pangaea World . They’ll die off soon enough . ”
“Alright…”
Maybe because he had just been ripped off a LaFerrari, Old Man Kwon’s voice was powerless .
“And also the competitors . ”
“Right… You’re the 1st ranked Overlord, so you’ll take care of them yourself . ”
“Finally…”
Kang Chul-In added .
“You don’t need to be so focused on monopolizing the market . ”
“Hm?”
“Even though we are monopolizing the market right now, in the long-term it won’t bring good benefits to us, or to the consumers . Sometimes, we need a running-mate in order to compete with us . And…”
Kang Chul-In added .
“There aren’t any normal people that aim for a monopoly . All of them were human scum . ”
It was something sincere that came out from his heart, aimed at some other people .
-----------
A week passed .
-After the opening of the Pangaea World, an amazing average of 300,000 people have come to visit . It is said that there are at least 50,000 foreigners that have also come to look…
-The city of Seoul will place more police in order to protect the many people visiting Pangaea World, and would like to ask people to temporarily stop visiting Pangaea World .
Although South Korea and the world focused on Pangaea World, the Kang Chul-In family was quiet about it .
Since Pangaea was her hometown, Pangaea World was nothing to Arshelly . To her, the place called ‘school’ was far more interesting than Pangaea World .
Even though Park Sun-Ja was originally somewhat interested, she also stopped paying attention seeing that both Kang Chul-In and Arshelly didn’t seem to care whatsoever .
I’ll return in 2 days .
This was the first thing that Kang Chul-In thought as he opened the door to his house .
He was planning to take care of internal affairs, personal training, and also hunting for items .
Basically, it meant that he would throw away all interest in hunting Rothschild down, and prepare for the upcoming dragon hunt .
I’ll need to call that idiot .
Kang Chul-In thought of the pushover, Dorian .
“Wow! This is so tasty!”
He heard a somewhat familiar, and boisterous voice somewhere . It seemed that person was eating something .
“Oh, is it good?”
Park Sun-Ja’s voice could also be heard .
“Yes, it’s amazing!”
“Hohoho~! It makes me happy that Dorian likes it . ”
Speak of the Devil . . .
“Is it possible for me to visit here often?”
“Of course~! Actually, my son doesn’t have many friends . Maybe it’s because of his somewhat cold personality, but it would be great if you came to visit and take care of him . ”
“Pft… I knew it . That guy’s personality is absolute tra---, I mean . . . s-sorry . ”
“No, it’s alright . It’s not like his personality has ever been good… But Dorian, please take care of him, and stay near him, okay?”
“Of course! Haha! Actually, even this time I helped Chul-In out a lot . That guy actually relies on me a lot, even though he doesn’t seem to realise it . Hahaha!”
And Kang Chul-In’s response to that---
Where does this idiot think he is?
Wasn’t good .
“Ah~! This is really good . Amazing . ”
Not realizing that the Grim Reaper had come, Dorian continued to eat his gan-jang gejang, or soy crab .
“What are you doing in my house?”
Kang Chul-In growled .
“Oh, I’m eating . Kang Chul-In, your mother’s cooking is amazing! Ah~! British food is absolutely terrible compared to this . Can you let me take some of the… Wait a minute…”
Tak…
Finally discovering that Kang Chul-In was here, Dorian accidentally dropped the chopsticks and spoon he held .
“S-Son?”
Park Sun-Ja also had a startled expression on her face when she discovered Kang Chul-In .
“I’ll go to the shop since I’m a little busy . You two have a nice time~!”
Park Sun-Ja quickly left .
She had betrayed Dorian .
“K-Kang Chul-In?”
“Absolute trash…? I didn’t think that’s what you thought of me . ”
“N-No…!”
“And . ”
Kang Chul-In grabbed the back of Dorian’s neck, and spoke .
“Where do you think this is, for you to be taking food home?”
“W-Well… we’re friends…”
“Soy crab… does that even fit a British person’s tastes?”
“It tastes good . I mean, Britain’s food is the world’s verrrrrrrry worst . ”
“Whatever . ”
“H-Huh?”
“I need to have a conversation with you . ”
“U-Uh… Alright . ”
Without realizing what was in for him, poor Dorian followed Kang Chul-In .
10 minutes later .
“Sob… Sob…”
His eyes now completely swollen, Dorian licked his spoon while sobbing .
Seeing as how he could still eat after going through the ‘mental training’, it was obvious that Dorian was quite ‘tanky’ .
“H-How could you…?”
“Yeah, but who told you to come inside my house, take my food, and curse at me?”
“I mean…! We’re friends… Huk… Sob… I, I-It hurts…”
“Stop eating . Have you been starved before or something?”
“So mean… Hmph…”
“Why are you even in Korea?”
“Oh, that?”
Suddenly laughing, Dorian took out a ticket from his pocket and shook it in front of Kang Chul-In’s eyes . It was a VIP entrance ticket for Pangaea World .
“Tada!”
“ . . . ”
“Huhu… I bought it for 450 USD on the black market . ”
“Idiot . ”
“Huh?”
“They say that no matter how expensive it is, you can get it for half the price . ”
“ . . . ”
“Stop being a pushover . ”
“Hmph…”
Realizing he had been tricked again, Dorian looked depressed .
“Not to mention,”
Speechless, Kang Chul-In looked at Dorian .
“Why are you even going there in the first place? You’re a Lord, not an ordinary human . ”
“I mean, there could be some monsters or plants that even I don’t know . I thought this could be of some help when I write my encyclopedia . ”
“That encyclopedia of yours…”
“Hmph! You were the one that told me you were interested in the first place to approach me!”
“I don’t remember . ”
“Hmph! You liar!”
Dorian pouted .
“Anyway, I came just since I was on the way . So, you wanna go with me to Pangaea World the day after tomorr . . . ? A . . . Aghhh!”
Noticing Kang Chul-In’s terrifying expression, Dorian started to run for his life .
----------
Two more days passed .
Kang Chul-In still wasn’t interested in Pangaea World .
Vrooom!
Riding in a supercar that had a V12 engine attached to it, Kang Chul-In raced through the road… this was not an accurate description .
Dammit, the traffic .
Seoul’s traffic conditions were terrible for a supercar to race through freely .
Wiing!
While Kang Chul-In was bored, a random phone number called him .
“I don’t need any mone---”
-It’s me!
But unexpectedly, the one that called him was Dorian Explorer .
“What’s up with this random phone number?”
-That’s not the problem right now!
“Then what is?”
-Who made Pangaea World? Was it you?”
“I’m not interested in losing money . ”
Kang Chul-In cut off Dorian’s words .
-Really? Then who was it?
“What do you mean by that?”
-This place--- It’s amazing! There are even monsters that are level 60!
“Level 60?”
At that moment, Kang Chul-In was confused .
A level 60 monster, all of a sudden?
Was that the true capabilities of Pangaea World?
-It’s amazing! There are a bunch of high-level monsters everywhere! Wow… they made this place really well . If it wasn’t you, then who made this theme park? Is it a Lord that you know? If it is, can you introduce me to them? Please?
At that moment, Kang Chul-In nearly doubted Dorian’s words .
A bunch of high-level monsters are there? Is that even possible?
Kang Chul-In had previously thought that it was at the level of a zoo, but apparently that wasn’t the case .
It was obvious that the person behind Pangaea World was an extremely powerful and rich Lord that had completely prepared for this .
“Are you for real right now?’
-Yeah, I’m serious . There are even a lot of Level 50 monsters here! Wow… how did these people even manage to bring all of these monsters in here?
“I’m going . ”
-You’re going to come?
“I need to take a look at it myself . ”
Saying that, Kang Chul-In immediately turned his car towards Yongsan, where Pangaea World was located .
Why?
South Korea wasn’t a big market .
Listening to Dorian’s words, it was clear that there was even more money used to build this ‘Pangaea World’ than he thought .
But no matter how much he thought about it, he thought that it was a waste of money .
He might be able to understand if this was built in the U . S, China, or even Japan, but South Korea? What was the reason?
He needed to take a look at it himself .
Vroom!
And luckily, the road started to clear up, allowing Kang Chul-In to accelerate .
------------
“Hmph!”
Riding in a BMW i8, Kwak-Jung stared at the Ferrari that was in front of him, and snorted .
“Stupid Ferrari… Stupid rich people… They only know how to spend their money since they have good parents to take care of them!”
Kwak-Jung was angry, since he had been awarded the White Rain Fan instead of the Ferrari that he had desired so much . And now that he was looking at a Ferrari on the road, it had made him pissed .
“Brother, chase it!”
Kwak Jung-Mi, who was sitting next to him, said enthusiastically .
“Hey… that’s a Ferrari . ”
Kwak-Jung spoke, depressed .
“With this car, I can only bite it’s dust . ”
It was true .
Even though the i8 was a good car, it wasn’t able to compare to a Ferrari in terms of speed .
“Brother! Is that the best you can do?”
“Huh?”
“Brother, aren’t you an adventurer?”
“W-Well, yeah…”
“Then aren’t you supposed to be good at driving too?”
It made sense .
After all, an adventurer had better specs than a normal human: better vision, reaction speed, reflexes, and more .
“Hmm…”
“Chase it!”
“S-Should I?”
“You can do it!”
At Kwak Jung-Mi’s cheer, Kwak-Jung grabbed the handle harder .
“Fine! Whatever, stupid Ferrari . ”
Since the car itself was lacking, Kwak-Jung tried to make up for it in terms of pure driving skill .
“Go, Kwak-Jung! I choose you!”
“ . . . Am I a pokemon or something?”
“Go already! That person’s already leaving!”
Kwak Jung-Mi shouted, pointing at the Ferrari .
“F-Fine…!”
Kwak-Jung started to chase the Ferrari .
Although, he had no idea that the person who was in that Ferrari would be someone he would regret chasing after .
