Chapter 109: Homecoming

Day 2 of the Saudi trip

The transaction was carried out smoothly and cleanly. The fact that not only the king but also the main royal family members had awakened amicably must have played a major role.

‘The money transaction is clean.’

While enjoying delicious food and leisure at the hotel party hall.

The Ilsung executives arrived at the palace. They had asked him to call them as soon as the first day’s deal was done, and fortunately, it seemed they had rushed over as soon as they heard.

Well it’s time to get a good taste of oil money.

The executives entered the party hall cautiously, their shoulders hunched.

He gestured towards them.

“This way.”

All the Saudi ministers were waiting, near Kim Minwoo.

Having discussed everything in advance with the awakened royals, he introduced the executives to the ministers.

“Here are the executives of Ilsung. You can talk to them about business. I appreciate your cooperation.”

“Of course.”

“Please trust us.”

The ministers approached the executives with wide grins.

Their faces were filled with warm smiles like they were ready to give away their wallets.

This was because their bodies had changed overnight through awakening.

The moment they consumed the potions in large quantities, their physical abilities skyrocketed, almost to the point of rejuvenation.

The once sagging waistlines were gone.

The once creaky knees were no more.

It was a change that was close to a Body Reconstuction.

All this was possible thanks to Kim Minwoo’s help, even the King had said so. And on top of that, they were told to prioritize giving Ilsung business.

‘I guess I should really milk this for all it’s worth.’

‘I have to give them a lot of business.’

Ilsung Group was not just some mediocre company; it was one of the most well-known companies in the world.

It meant that the company was one that would at least do its part well if given the job.

The ministers’ eyes sparkled as they looked at the executives.

* * *

“......Oh my god.”

Is this a dream or reality?

That was the feeling the executives were having.

Originally, they would have had to pull out all the stops to win a contract in the Middle East.

But now it was different.

Not only did those arrogant ministers approach them with bright smiles, but they were also spitting out “okays” like vending machines whenever they spoke.

“Oh, you want to take on the plant construction contract? That’s great. We just happen to have a place that needs one built....”

“We just happen to be about to build a new building, so how about taking on the super high-rise building project?”

“We’re about to start a new housing complex....”

The Saudis were saying they would paint everything from construction to appliances and furniture with Ilsung.

It was like a dream, a fantasy.

The executives, who had finished a brief meeting, went to find Kim Minwoo.

“M-my lord. What on earth is going on?”

“Did it go well?”

Gulped.

Swallowing their saliva, the executives said.

“......It seems like the Saudi royal family is going to give us all the new construction projects. The estimated amount is around 200 trillion won!”

“Well, that’s not bad. There’s no need to give a separate rebate, just give a courtesy gift. I’ve already talked to the king about it.”

That was the price for awakening other people besides the king. It was a fair price, so there was no need to give a rebate.

Well, it’s still polite to give a simple gift, though.

“Huh....”

The executives looked at Kim Minwoo blankly, as if looking at an incomprehensible being.

When they first went to Saudi Arabia, they wondered why they were even going.

But now in one day, he had won business worth nearly 200 trillion won. He was truly a god of sales.

On top of that, they would have the royal family’s protection, so any pesky flies that got in the way of their business would be wiped out from the start.

‘He shouldn’t be an Awakened...’

‘Shouldn’t he have inherited the company?’

If Kim Minwoo led Ilsung.

It was enough to make one think that Ilsung could become a global company that commands the world, not just a company that dominates Korea.

There was a reason for this thought. Ilsung’s growth had been incredibly rapid since Kim Minwoo began to actively participate in the company.

―The royal family pushed it through with their power. It can’t be helped if it’s not that

―Is this what he did in just two days?

―Oh yeah; Kim Minwoo even left Saudi Arabia without staying any longer and left xDxD

―Normally, I would stay for a few more days and build relationships a little more, but what’s the matter?

―(Reason for leaving) I need to level up ????.

―He’s so cool \0/

―Oh lol, I can’t help but level up.

So when Kim Minwoo returned.

The airport was already bustling with reporters.

“Mr. Kim Minwoo! I heard you had a private meeting with King Abdullah! Can you tell us what you talked about?”

“As I said before I left, I went to talk about business. Fortunately, the talks went well.”

“What on earth did you talk about to get a contract worth 200 trillion won....”

“We had a lot of good talks.”

Kim Minwoo smiled broadly and said.

It was a tacit nuance.

Don’t ask any more.

‘Well, it will come out eventually.’

The king and the Saudi royal family.

They had not yet awakened despite their age.

But after he visited, they all awakened?

They would vaguely guess what he gave them in exchange for the Saudi contract.

‘Oh, he helped me awaken.’

He could roughly guess how big a wave this would make.

Right now, the rich people who haven’t awakened all over the world would be impatient.

If he awakened dozens of them, they would think that he has a special ability to figure out the awakening conditions.

It was obvious that it would be a huge pain.

As long as they weren’t as rich as King Abdullah, it wasn’t worth contacting them one by one.

So he made a rough agreement with the king.

The gist was simple.

He would go and ask the king to announce his awakening in a few days.

And the royals should wait a while and then reveal themselves one by one.

The king readily agreed to this.

Of course, this alone would not dispel all suspicion.

‘At least it will be less of a hassle for now.’

Sensing the nuance, the reporters changed their questions.

“What was it like meeting King Abdullah?”

“He was a very kind and generous man. Thanks to him, I had a great time.”

Kim Minwoo, glancing at his watch, said.

“I think I should get going. It’s time to level up for the country. Well, that’s it.”

To be precise, it was more for his own personal advancement than for Korea. But anyway, wouldn’t it be good for Korea to save face by coming in first place?

‘I guess I’ll have to grind some A-rank gates.’

He needed to hit 251 before the qualifiers. For leveling up grind, gate grinding was the best.

[A-rank gate, you have entered the Roaring Earth!]

Roaring Earth.

As the name suggests, it is a place where fire-type monsters roam.

‘There are a lot of mobs too....’

And decisively.

―Coo.

[‘Whitey’ shares attributes with its owner!]

[You can use ice properties!]

He could sweep away the monsters with their opposing properties. It was around this time that he was hunting around the gate after summoning his undead and grinding.

[The average level of the Skeleton Squad has reached 101!]

[The Skeleton Army grows!]

[A special skill has been learned!]

[Title, ‘Master of the Dragon knight’ effect is activated!]

[You are the first Necromancer on Earth to unlock the potential of Skeletons!]

[The job change system is activated!]

‘Huh?’

He tilted his head at the message that popped up in front of him.
