Ji Dong-won, who returned to Korea a day earlier than Jun-woo, was called to the Strategic Planning Office in the morning.
Four other team leaders in the Strategic Planning Office, including vice-master Choi Shik-Hyeon.
As soon as Ji Dong-won entered, he greeted them.
“Hello, this is Dongwon Ji, a new guild member.”
Choi Shik-Hyeon nodded.
“There’s nothing to be nervous about. Just tell me what kind of dungeon it was, how you solved it, and things like that.”
“Yeah! Vice Master. First of all, the dungeon gate was a cave.”
Dongwon Ji talked in detail about the topography of the place and what happened there.
Choi Sikhyeon asked in the middle.
“How did Lee Jun-woo think there was a boss there?”
“You decided you couldn’t get to all the places in time. And you picked two possible locations, and it seems that you first returned to where the miners were.”
“mine worker?”
“He was a miner with skills to cut the ground defense. I had a skill that helped me break through the wall, so I went back to the starting point, and there was the boss.”
The female team leader intervened and said,
“I would not have received any professional training, but I understood the dungeon’s structure well. Did you know that only the boss ran away because he couldn’t find the boss?”
He waved his hand as if it was not Ji Dong-won.
“no. It was something you didn’t know at all. You’ve been asking me a lot.”
“okay? Do you feel good?”
Choi Sikhyeon asked.
“What did Jun-woo Lee do after that?”
“You broke the wall with the miner.”
“wall?”
“Yes, when a miner uses a skill that reduces the defense of the ground, Master Jun-woo Lee shoots there and throws an explosive skill along with a golem that shoots shells.”
“Damn a wall with a gun? Do you have enough mana?”
Since firearms fire by compressing mana, they could not fire indefinitely.
Ji Dong-won also replied with a curious face.
“I was very excited about it too. You’ve been shooting for almost an hour. Oh, and the gun was also very unusual. It seemed like a new invention, perhaps.”
“So, what did you find?”
“They broke through the wall, and I and the other two hunted and looked for special places but couldn’t find anything special.”
Choi Shik-hyun knew what happened in the dungeon through Ji Dong-won.
In addition, Jun-woo’s skills, fighting style, and strength could be inferred to some extent.
In case of a dungeon gate or crack, I had to ask for help, so I had to know in advance.
Choi Shik-Hyeon, who finished his duties, left the conference room, and as soon as Choi Shik-hyun came out, an employee came to him with documents.
“Vicemaster, this is the dungeon gate briefing material.”
Choi Shik-hyun received the documents and looked through them once.
The location where the dungeon gate occurred, the grade level limit, and information about the people who entered were written there.
Choi Shik-Hyeon thought that the party did not want to brief everything about the location of the occurrence, the story of the miner, and the condition of the four people.
It was the place where Jun-woo was working to find the pillar.
“I wrote the details. This time with the blinds. Destroy the related documents and rewrite the report.”
“Okay, Vice-Master.”
“And set up a briefing time when I tell you.”
“I will do that.”
Choi Shik-hyun thought of Jun-woo and was thinking of asking his doctor.
Solving a unique-grade dungeon gate was something to be admired by people.
Think of him and proceed blindly, or let the public know everything. Choi Shik-hyun waited for Jun-woo.
* * *
Jun-woo, who entered the Aegis Guild building, heard the story of Choi Shik-Hyeon from Jeong Hye-Yeon.
“I’ll call you.”
He did not know what was happening, but as soon as Jun-woo entered the master room, he called Choi Shik-Hyeon.
“This is Jun-woo Lee. What are you doing?”
“I had a hard time coming here. It’s no different because I must brief the public about this dungeon gate.”
Jun-woo was just wondering because he didn’t know how it was going.
“Ah yes. What should I do?”
“I’m calling you because your doctor thinks it’s important whether you’re going blind or revealing everything.”
“What happens to the blinds?”
“I mean not giving information about level restrictions, where it occurred, or who entered it. And if it’s blinded, the broadcasters won’t cover it anymore.”
Jun-woo answered without hesitation.
“Blinds, please.”
Jun-woo’s level, location, and related stories could be known worldwide.
“I knew it would. Then I will prepare and brief you.”
“Thank you for caring for me.”
“Then rest.”
Jun-woo felt that Choi Si-hyun was a kind person because of Choi Shik-Hyeon’s consideration and kindness.
As Choi Shik-Hyeon said, a briefing was held a few hours later.
A spokesperson for the Daehan Guild briefed me about the dungeon gate.
“This is Lee Jeong-Seok, the spokesperson of the Daehan Guild. Several guild members protecting Seoul gathered at Songpa Gate because of the unique dungeon gate. However, the cooperation between the guilds was able to solve it safely. In the future, Daehan will work with several guilds to block cracks and dungeon gates. Thank you.”
The briefing was delivered as concise breaking news.
The only thing the people, who would have been trembling in fear, needed to know was the news of the resolution.
Besides, each broadcaster had to not deal with this part because it was blinded.
And it was the first time that a unique grade dungeon gate was blinded in Korea.
A unique dungeon gate occurred in Korea only 7 out of 41 years ago.
Even in the future, there will be anger on the internet and on youtube, but Jun-woo wanted to hide it as much as possible.
This is because there is a work in progress on the plaza of the Earth.
* * *
Dark Star’s Japanese vice-master Takane always kept an eye on Jun-woo’s every move.
Jun-woo’s growth would one day become a big problem.
Jun-woo, who is not at the highest level yet, will continue to be given quests, and Takane had that in mind.
According to the intelligence, Jun-woo went to and from the Songpa Gate, and the location seemed to be hunting in the square of the land.
In addition, when the blinded Korean unique dungeon gate occurred, Jun-woo passed the Songpa gate.
Perhaps the reason for the blinding process was because of Jun-woo’s request.
After hanging up on the phone, Takane called Dohyuk Kwon, a Korean.
“Do you know that it is Earth Square?”
“I have heard of it.”
“Looks like Lewis went there to see if he had something to point out.”
“There is a golem hunting ground. It’s good to collect minerals, and people come and go according to the price of minerals.”
“Any special corner?”
Kwon Do-hyeok told us a story he had heard when he was a member of a guild in Daehan.
“Ah, I think I heard a bit about the pillars. I heard that there are hidden pieces that have not been resolved.”
Jun-woo had a precedent for stealing the Garak Trico goblin leader’s button.
It is unknown whether it was because of the Quest or solved out of simple curiosity. Still, the legend-grade Quest must have a unique corner.
“Pillar?”
“Probably, my older brother, who was a member of the Poongrim Guild below me, would know. Shall we find out and contact you?”
“Look out.”
“All right. Then I will quit.”
Kwon Do-hyeok, who hung up the phone, immediately called the person who was a member of the Poongrim Guild and asked about the pillars.
Kwon Do-hyeok informed Takane of what he had heard.
“They said they gave up because they couldn’t penetrate the ground while looking for other pillars.”
“yes? Did any of your men find Lewis?”
“Has he already killed him?”
“I know you didn’t kill me. Maybe it was Ram who found it?”
Asking for responsibility, Kwon Do-hyeok reported that he killed the subordinate who found Lewis.
The subordinate who was unfairly killed was one of the less helpful subordinates.
“How did you know?”
“It’s not important. A friend named Ram, can you enter Korea?”
“Yeah.”
“Go to that pole, find out what’s going on, and call him, a mobile operator. Can you get around well on your own?”
“All right. I’m a good friend, so pretend you don’t know.”
“Don’t worry, mobile magicians are precious.”
Kwon Do-hyeok, who hung up the phone, called Ram and a former member of Poongrim’s guild and talked about the land square.
Ram looked at the pillar’s location on the Earth Square map and put the map into the item window.
“I’ll go, Captain.”
“Yeah, be careful. Never stand out of Lewis.”
“You have to be careful. You will know my face.”
So Ram headed back to Korea.

A notice was posted on the Lewis website.
[Notice from Lewis. We manufacture and sell customized auto mail. It is an automail made of Adamantium, and the cost varies depending on the person and the standard, so you can expect about 10 billion gold or more. The effect is to increase defense and decrease intellect by that much. Please inquire for details.]
Automail was the primary source of income for alchemists.
The price was different for each alchemist, and the Adamantium Automail did not exist until now.
Due to the high technology, the price was on the high side.
There was a bit of a rip-off, but the percentage was not higher than that of other alchemists.
Despite the high price, inquiries started coming in quickly.
The first reservation was a guild member of Poongrim whose wrist was severed while hunting.
Jun-woo met him in the trading room, and he took off his gloves and showed the condition of his hands.
The hands were iron hands made of Titanium.
When I peeled it off, I saw a cross-section of the wounded hand.
“How much will it cost?”
“I’ll see you.”
Jun-woo grabbed his wrist and closed his eyes.
His original wrist came to mind, and authentic materials entered his mind searching for a location.
Jun-woo, who opened his eyes, said.
“Since the site is small, you can think of 8.2 billion won.”
“What do you think the effect will be?”
“Probably increases your defense by 1 or 2, and your intellect decreases that much. And when the health drops below 10%, it can be destroyed.”
The effect was definitely different from other Automail.
In the case of titanium automail, defense increased by 1, intelligence decreased by about 6, and it could be broken when health fell below 17%.
But it was also costly.
Poongrim’s guild member asked.
“When will it be finished?”
“I think you should come by tomorrow. I will contact you when the time is right.”
“then… Please.”
“Okay, wait a minute.”
Jun-woo took out a paper and a pen.
And he opened his mouth to remember something.
“Ah, the amount is paid in advance.”
“Ah yes… … .”
On the spot, Jun-woo received gold and immediately started making the blueprints.
The shape of the wrist was quickly drawn on the paper.
The parts began to be drawn, and the guild members of Poongrim looked at it as if it were a strange thing.
Jun-woo, who was drawing a picture, said.
“Give me your hand again.”
Jun-woo took his hand and closed his eyes.
Like a doctor examining a patient, Jun-woo designed Auto Mail with care.
It was a devotion incomparable to the time he made Yoshimura’s bridge.
After more than an hour of work, the blueprint for his wrist automail was complete.
“It’s over. Thanks for your efforts.”
“Thank you. Thank you very much.”
“Sure, don’t worry. I will contact you tomorrow.”
Personal time will be reduced a little, but I could expect a higher return than a flying car.
Besides, it was a bonus to build a little friendship with the guild members who came to make Automail.
The following person to come in was a member of a guild in Daehan, and his right arm was made of titanium automail.
“I heard about the dungeon gate. Thank you for coming.”
“no. If you can, you should go in.”
Jun-woo was thinking of going in without hesitation if he had a chance next time.
The reward for the first dungeon gate was indescribable.
“Still, you worked hard, but take a break. You are so workaholic.”
“You have to earn a lot. There are a lot of places to go.”
“Haha, I don’t know if this prevents me from talking and working.”
“It’s okay, there’s no problem at all. Give me your hand again.”
Jun-woo closed his eyes and examined the right arm to be made.
After waking up, Jun-woo drew a blueprint.
“Hey, you’re really good at drawing.”
“Isn’t everyone who works on blueprints good at drawing?”
“Ugh, no. The British alchemist who made that Automail was so bad at drawing.”
Jun-woo glanced at his auto-mail on the desk and asked.
“Who did that?”
“Have you heard of Jacob?”
“I have seen the books he wrote.”
“It was made by that person, but he said he died two years ago. It worked well for about three years, but it was bittersweet to say that he died.”
“How did you die?”
“Looks like he was assassinated.”
“That… … .”
“I think they have been targeted because they have a lot of gold, and there are a few expected assassins, but who hasn’t been revealed.”
Jun-woo nodded slowly.
“There is a button, but I hope Sr. Lewis will always be careful.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“Still, I’m glad that there are so many people around. I heard that the Japanese who joined me this time also have good skills. How did you come to Aegis?”
He seemed to know the details of this dungeon gate incident.
“I came here because I was recruiting.”
“Haha, you look good. Well, you have that much ability, and Aegis will grow even bigger in the future.”
“Thank you.”
Jun-woo said as he put a period on the blueprint.
“It’s done.”
“Oh my gosh, you did a great job. I have a lot to say. Please take good care of me, Sr. Lewis.”
“Of course. I will contact you.”
He bowed his head and went outside.
Jun-woo puts the created blueprint into the item window.
There was a limit of two automails that Jun-woo could make as a blueprint in a day, so he couldn’t accept any more guests.
-beep.
“Sir, may I come in?”
It was Jeong Hye-Yeon.
Hyeyeon Jeong said as soon as she entered.
“Sir, I have been getting a lot of inquiries about not making low-cost automail. I think I should notify you. What should I do?”
If you made an automail from iron ore and Titanium, the time would be reduced that much, and a lot could be made.
However, in terms of profitability, it was not compared to Automail using Adamantium.
It’s not that much of a difference, but people who don’t have money might be better off using the entry-level Automail.
“Please let me know that you have no plans to sell Automail made of iron ore and titanium.”
“Okay, sir.”
They don’t sell it, but there must be people who need Automail.
“Instead, I will use a portion of the auction proceeds. Titanium entry-level automail will be made free of charge to those who need it and will take place over three days. I think 5 days later would be a good time. I’ll pass on what you need. Please prepare.”
Jun-woo was going to do some kind of charity project.
A portion of the auction proceeds was going to be used for those who were damaged by the monsters, so it seemed like it would be good to show it somewhat transparently.
