Chapter 9: (2): – Season 1: Preparation

Chapter 9: (2): – Season 1: Preparation

After hearing the story, the police officer sympathized with Jong-won but said that they had to abide by the law. Hyun-seok patted Jong-wons shoulder and suggested that they just let it go since it wasnt that much money, and it would be better for their image if they just paid 4 million won each from their income. The temporary guild members watched on as they received an unexpected 16 million won in income without doing anything. They agreed to contribute 4 million won each towards the cause, which surprised even the initially opposed Chae-rim.

Dont you feel unjust? I helped them out, even though I could have died doing it. I didnt even hear a thank you. What kind of situation is this? Jong-won protested.

But its the law! We have to follow the law! the woman who had yelled at Jong-won earlier raised her voice.

No, that ajumma is right. Lets see!. (Ajumma is a Korean word that is most often used to refer to middle-aged or older women since referring to an elder by name without a title in Korea is not socially acceptable. )

Hyun-seok sighed and rubbed his head. Jong-won was known for being hot-tempered and stubborn, even though he had mellowed out over the years. He was even rumored to have been called crazy dog at school. Even those who were known for using their fists in school wouldnt mess with Jong-won.

What? Ajumma? I am ready to throw a punch! Hit me! Hit me!

I cant give it to you because its unfair!

Ill sue you. You should live according to the law! Follow the law!

Suddenly, the woman threatened to sue, and started to poke and prod, but Jong-won didnt back down and hit back.

Sue? Bring it on! Who would be afraid of that!

The fight that started like that caused a nationwide stir. The fight that took place at the police station was broadcasted from beginning to end. Interestingly enough, the person who filmed the video was none other than Sim Hyung-jae, one of the three people involved in the fight.

Whether he thought it was a rare video or was naive, he posted the video on Facebook, and it quickly became a nationwide issue, surpassing 10,000 likes in no time.

This is such a ridiculous and forced logic.

Its like rescuing someone from the water and then demanding they hand over their bag.

The point is, since theres a law like this, it means helping someone in danger is not the issue.

Secondly, the abundant state of resources due to the lack of absolute numbers of slayers. (Weve set the number of slayers active throughout the country at about 4,000. This number is subject to change.)

Thirdly, the absence of a slayer rights organization.

Fourthly, the current guild structure.

Regarding the guild structure, most of the powerful guilds are currently run by companies. It can be said that there arent many guilds established by slayers themselves, except for temporary guilds. At least for now.

In that situation, the price set by the government is deemed essential for obtaining the consent of the companies running large guilds. In other words, the price of 100 million won is the result of an agreement between the government as the buyer and the companies as the seller. I wont explicitly state what this means. I purposely avoided mentioning it in the work. I thought it wouldnt be easy for slayers belonging to companies to raise objections to the price agreed upon between the government and the companies.

Price controversy (?) I will extract some of the contents of the unpublished 11th part.

In fact, the average annual power consumption in Seoul is about 47 million MWH. To express this in an easy-to-understand number, its about 47,000,000,000,000 W/H. If we roughly divide this by 365 to calculate the daily power consumption, it exceeds 100,000 MWH even with a rough calculation. (The exact number is omitted.) If we consider it as 1% of that, it would be 1,000 MWH.

Based on residential electricity consumption, the supply price of electricity is 120 won per 1 KWH. Since 1 MWH is 1,000 KWH, 1 MWH costs 120,000 won. Therefore, even with this simplified calculation, it amounts to about 120,000,000 won.

If the efficiency is good at 2%, it would be 240,000,000 won. At the very least since we omitted the exact calculation it would be 120 million won, and with a slightly generous estimate, it would exceed 200 million won.

This is not all of the content. I mentioned in the review that it is for rough reference only. You can check the details in the 11th part.

Prequels/recommendations/comments/coupons would be a great help. Thank you for your support.
