Chapter 31: (2): Season 1: Preparation

Hyun-seok trembled his head.

Just thinking about that day makes him nervous. It was a challenging day to handle both women, despite Cyclops being Cyclops. Just when the peace seemed to settle, Min-seo came running and wailed loudly. Whether there was a contagious effect in her crying, peace also burst into tears, and Hyun-seok had to exhaust himself to comfort the two. No matter how familiar Hyun-seok was with women, he didnt have the ability to calm down two women who were crying so sorrowfully.

Cyclops was a creature that falls under the category of impossible accomplishments, a bug-level monster that far surpasses the specifications of the normal mode

Experts are conducting research and investigation to determine the value of the Red stone, but the exact value has not been measured

The theoretical value predicts that Redstone can generate enough power to cover Seouls daily electricity consumption, but considering the precedent of Greenstone, it is uncertain how much error there may be

After slaying the monster Cyclops, which exceeded the specifications of an impossible accomplishment, Redstone appeared. It was a great achievement for the 80 slayers who formed the task force, but what followed was a bit problematic. Fortunately, Cyclops didnt drop any items. If it had dropped items, it would have been difficult to determine how to distribute them. The item obtained after slaying Cyclops was a single Redstone.

The exact value of Redstone is unknown, but it seemed to be an item with considerable value as the government collected it under the Unions guarantee.

Park Sung-hyung provided 100 million won from the Union to the slayers who participated in the slaying, excluding the 80 members of the task forceapproximately 10 supporting and healing slayers. It was both a compensation for their help, as they risked their lives, and a policy to encourage other slayers.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Park Sung-hyung also gathered the 80 members and had a conversation with them. To summarize his words:

The current negotiations with the government regarding the price of Redstone are underway. If we negotiate quickly, we can get a lower price, but if we take our time, we can get a higher price. What do you think is better?

Hyun-seok asked.

Brother, you took the 100 million won that was announced to be given by the Union to the supporting and healing slayers from your own pocket, didnt you?

Yes, thats right.

People didnt know, but the 100 million won given to the supporting and healing slayers, excluding the 80 members, was from Sung-hyungs own pocket, despite being announced as provided by the Union.

Its not a small amount even if its 100 million won.

In fact, a while later, Cyclops appeared in the California Great Plains in the United States, and fortunately, it was in the plains, so the United States successfully hunted Cyclops by mobilizing powerful weapons. It wasnt a limited situation like in a city. Thanks to that, they were able to concentrate firepower. The exact data didnt come out, but the cost of hunting a single Cyclops exceeded 200 billion won.

Whats unfortunate is that the individual hunted with concentrated firepower didnt drop any items.

Whats more interesting is that after the United States successfully hunted Cyclops, there were rumors that Cyclops was not as strong as expected. There were rumors that Korea deliberately exaggerated and spread the word as an advertisement. These rumors started circulating among Japanese netizens. The voices mocking Korea became louder. They said that Korea made a fuss and acted as if they were in danger, even though it was unnecessary when the United States easily -from the perspective of netizens- slayed Cyclops.

Lets look at some of the general reactions:

Hahaha, thats just how those Korean kids are.

The 80-person Vanguard team? Hahaha, hilarious.

Their military strength is such a joke that they cant get out of being a backward country.

Of course, there were also comments like We should be cautious and prepared because it could happen to us too and Koreas military strength is no less than Japans, but still, there were quite a few responses mocking Korea.

In contrast, Yamamoto, the Union Chief of Hedeyas in Japan, was uneasy.

I dont want to admit it, but Koreas slaying level overwhelms Japans. Especially that man is a person we must never provoke. We dont know when he might be a great help to us. And even if they are classified as the same monster, Korean monsters are much stronger than ours. Can we defeat them?

If it appeared in Korea, the probability of it appearing elsewhere was high. Regardless of the mockery of Korea on the internet, anyone who has thoughts or even a slight interest in slaying knows how high Koreas slaying level is.

And Yamamotos concerns turned out to be a reality, not a groundless fear.

Appearance of Cyclops. Over 70 slayers were killed.

Successive reckless slaying. More deaths! Over 140 slayers were killed!

Near the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Bombing is impossible!

The Japanese government. Extremely high alert. How will Japan overcome this crisis?
