Chapter 151: Hot Stock (4)

Hundred Thousand Swords Mountain

When Yeongwoo heard that Dogo was the owner of the Hundred Thousand Sword Mountain, he was captivated, recalling the first day of the reset.

It was because the name evoked memories of the “Mountain of Swords,” which supplied weapons all over the country.

‘Could it be that the weapons back then were also provided by Dogo?’

As Dogo was a war weapon manufacturer, it was entirely possible.

Supplying weapons to a planet scheduled to open its gates due to the reset would undoubtedly be helpful from a marketing perspective.

Rumble...!

Eventually, thunder roared from the sky, indicating that something was about to happen. With a beam of light, Lemu, who had lost in the contract competition, soared into the sky.

Piaaaat!

As Dogo’s shareholders jeered at Lemu, who was quickly moving away, he ascended into the sky with a cubic shape.

–Boo! Lemu!

–Booo...!

–Lemuuuu!

–Get lost

‘It seems since they are a weapons company, they are extremely belligerent.’

Yeongwoo shook his head nervously.

Of course, the shareholders were quite upset.

They almost lost in the bidding competition.

But with the chairman’s dramatic intervention, they managed to turn the tables, causing the shareholders’ morale to soar.

‘It seems like even those giants change in front of the chairman.’

As Yeongwoo shifted his gaze back to the chairman, he noticed Dogo, the founder, looking up at the sky.

Then...

Quack!

The same sound he heard on the first day of the reset echoed again.

The sound of the sky tearing apart, with tens of thousands of feathers falling.

Quaaaaa...!

All sorts of weapons began to pile up on the ground, making the same sound as a train passing on a railway.

The sight was reminiscent of the “Mountain of Swords.”

The only difference was that the equipment piling up here started from at least the Unique grade.

“Ch... Chairman... This...”

As Yeongwoo looked at the Hundred Thousand Sword Mountain with wide eyes, Dogo slowly flew up to the mountain and said:

–What you saw was a product made to mimic the Hundred Thousand Sword Mountain.

Upon hearing this, Dogo’s shareholders elaborated.

–It’s also a product that we generally provide to our customers.

–Calling the Hundred Thousand Sword Mountain in the Tier 4 contract is an honor.

—Praise be to Dogo...!

“Oh...”

The intergalactic war weapon brand Dogo.

In fact, Earth was just one of the many customers for them.

‘So when I used the Morning Star, Dogo was the first to detect it.’

Seeing that Earth was a Tier 4 contract site, the contract between Dogo and Earth was also Tier 4.

In other words, until the appearance of the individual known as Jeong Yeongwoo 07, Earth was not significant to Dogo.

‘So Earth... or rather, are those council members the ones who have contracted with Dogo?’

As Yeongwoo pondered this, Dogo, who had reached the top of the Hundred Thousand Sword Mountain, reached out his hand into the air.

Swish.

Then, from inside the mountain, a shimmering light emerged, and a single sword rose among the myriad of equipment.

‘Oh, that...’

That was the mythical-grade equipment promised by the Dogo chairman.

–Take it. With this, the first promise has been fulfilled.

(Special clause) [Owner of the Myth]

– Upon the signing of this contract, the headquarters must provide you with one mythical-grade equipment.

Special clause fulfilled.

As Dogo snapped his fingers, the unknown sword that had risen above the Hundred Thousand Sword Mountain flew towards Yeongwoo like an arrow.

Shaaaat!

“....!”

Naturally, Yeongwoo thought the sword would hit the ground and stepped back.

Shaaaat!

But to his surprise, the problematic sword, instead of falling to the ground, remained suspended in the air.

“Wow...”

Each of them were unique effects that felt rather ominous.

And following that, detailed tooltips for each effect appeared.

【Authority Obstruction】

|Weakens the authority of transcendents.

【Contempt for the weak】

|This sword’s attack can only be blocked with mythic or higher equipment.

【challenger】

|Combat abilities increase dramatically when fighting beings of higher rank.

‘Crazy. Mythical-grade equipment transcends the concept of ordinary equipment.’

Although “Contempt for the Weak,” which prohibited even confronting the sword, was an insane effect, what caught the eye more was “Authority Obstruction.”

‘Do you need mythical-grade equipment to maintain dignity in front of transcendent beings...? But isn’t this sword a weapon to fight against those transcendents?’

Yeongwoo became lost in thought.

Because Dogo deliberately chose this weapon from the Hundred Thousand Sword Mountain.

Even if mythical-grade equipment was precious, would the chairman have only this sword?

‘He had other mythical-grade equipment, but he deliberately handed this one over for a reason.’

Then what was the reason?

‘I’ll have to ask next time I see him.’

Yeongwoo thought to himself, as one agreement had not yet been fulfilled, giving him a reason to summon Dogo again.

(Special Agreement) [Expensive Beads of Sweat]

-「Dogo」 will obtain an encyclopedia.

– If you choose a type, Dogo will acquire one within two days.

– In case of failure to meet the deadline, the headquarters will pay a penalty of 100 million Karma.

Although he could immediately issue a encyclopaedia search warrant, Yeongwoo’s thoughts were different.

‘I’ll be going to the dungeon again tonight anyway. So, it won’t be too late to request it after checking what encyclopaedia comes out from there.’

Therefore, the remaining tasks for today were.

‘Meeting the merchants in Seoul and Paju to gather more equipment and find out about my father.’

At least until entering the nighttime dungeon, that was the main agenda.

Swoosh-

The tracking mark still in sight was still pointing south, towards Uijeongbu.

‘If Uijeongbu is such an ominous neighborhood... then it’s better to start looking for my father. He might end up dead before I even get to see him.’

As Yeongwoo pondered alone while looking south, Choi Jongseon approached cautiously.

“Now you’re really leaving... I mean, going?”

Jongseon had initially thought she would finally see Yeongwoo off, but she changed her mind.

Because of the kinds of things that the orphan Strongest Sword had brought, Yangju City was no longer at a level where it could be considered a city.

“The story about Gangnam earlier. Is it true? That you’ll give me a home and a job if I go there?”

“Yes. Of course.”

To reassure Jongseon, Yeongwoo temporarily changed his title to ‘Gangnam’s Strongest Sword.’

“Seoul is quite different from what you think. It’s quite systematic and political...”

But thanks to that, when he was around the level of Gangnam Strongest Sword, finding a place for a friend in Gangnam wasn’t a problem.

“You can live in Gangnam and commute to work in Gwangjin-gu at the time of mutant emergence. I’ll take care of the mutants in Gangnam and move on, so it won’t be too dangerous.”

The ‘danger’ that Yeongwoo mentioned referred to when reinforced mutants appeared in Gwangjin-gu.

As long as he survived while organizing Gangnam, he could handle any mutants that appeared in Gwangjin-gu.

“Are you sure?”

It was a story that Jongseon could not easily believe, but there was no other option in her current situation.

Isn’t it impossible to raise a child in this ruin?

And even though the orphan in front of him was a lunatic, knowing that he had some faith also helped her calm down.

“...Okay. Let’s do it that way for now.”

“Yes. You won’t regret it.”

“Then are we moving to Gangnam now?”

As Jongseon looked to the south, hoping for a comfortable future, Yeongwoo shook his head.

“I’ve said it from the beginning. I’m someone who’s on my way to Uijeongbu to find my father.”

“What do you mean? No, no way.”

“It’s the same way anyway. I’m just going to briefly meet my father on the way.”

“But that’s Uijeongbu...?”

Entering the worst lawless city with a child.

Seeing Jongseon’s horrified expression, Yeongwoo showed her “Bastard” and reassured her.

“I promise. I won’t let a drop of blood spill on the baby.”
