NOTICE: Many of the novels have been removed because they might cause violations, which we were not aware of earlier.
Han Hyun-jung’s personal office, which seemed to be well over 79,100
pyeong in size, was itself a huge training ground.
Not only were there training facilities that implemented virtual dungeons using VR, but there were also a variety of recovery facilities.
It was so luxurious that it seemed like hundreds of billions of won had been spent on just one office space.
Security was certainly tight.
It took five layers of security checks to even get into the office from the outside.
Moreover, the security door itself was incredibly thick.
It’s to the point where it feels like even if you were to add a little lie and detonate a bomb right in front of the door, the inside would be fine.
“Coffee? Ade? Which would you like?”
“I’d like to drink coffee.”
“Would you like some Mana Coffee?”
“If you give it to me, I won’t refuse it.”
Mana Coffee.
It is literally a drink that combines mana potion and coffee.
It is known that the essence of mana, which is difficult to extract, is made into a concentrate and mixed with coffee.
The efficacy is similar to that of nutritional supplements.
Although not dramatic, eating it consistently will help restore mana as well as increase your total mana.
The cost of drinking a cup of Mana Coffee is at least 500,000 won.
She was spending the price of a bottle of expensive liquor to treat her guest, Sang-hyeon.
Sang-Hyeon also knew its value, so he carefully accepted the teacup that Han Hyeon-Jeong offered him.
“Eat it. It’s good for your health.”
“Thank you. This is my first time trying Mana Coffee.”
“Haha. It works well. I’ve been drinking two cups a day for a year now, and thanks to coffee, my mana has increased by 50.”
“Is it a pure effect?”
“That’s right. Since there are no other means of mana growth assistance, there was no need to calculate the variables.”
“It’s like my mana went up by 1 point every week.”
“Yes. Investing about 400 million won and earning 50 mana a year. It’s a very profitable business. Of course, it’s a bit difficult to obtain, though?”
Han Hyun-jung was right.
Of course, most players weren’t interested in Mana Coffee.
First of all, it had to be imported from overseas, but it was not easy to obtain because the customs clearance process was complicated.
Moreover, since mana did not increase dramatically right away, there was a lack of visible change.
Players accustomed to short-term effects and stimulation are still stingy with long-term investments.
Of course, this trend will begin to change in the next two or three years.
This very woman.
This is because Han Hyun-jung started promoting various growth supplements such as Mana Coffee.
Under the systematic promotion and appeal of numerous influencers, after a few years, eating and drinking these supplements became a trend.
“It’s delicious. It seems like you added some extra flavor.”
“That’s right. I really like the hazelnut flavor, so I added a little syrup.”
“It seemed like that.”
“Oh, right, Mr. Shin Sang-hyun. I have something to ask you. How do you feel about receiving the attention of the Lord Shinjwa?”
“… … ?”
Sang-Hyeon looked at Han Hyeon-Jeong quietly at the mention of the new seat that came up right away.
I wasn’t embarrassed, because I was sure she had seen it.
Thinking about it the other way around, Sang-Hyeon thought that it wouldn’t be strange at all if Han Hyeon-Jeong had made a contract with Shinjwa.
Considering her future growth curve, which will show a rapid upward trend, it was only natural.
“What is a new seat?”
Sang-Hyeon asked naturally.
There is still no word about the new throne, not even in the player community.
It is also a time when players who have made a contract with the Gods must keep their mouths shut and keep their secrets.
In a way, Han Hyun-jung broke the unwritten rule. Of course, as the contractor, she would be of the mindset that it doesn’t matter if the existence of the new seat is known.
“You really don’t know?”
“Is it different from the constellations?”
“Ah, you know about constellations. Constellations, gods. Everyone calls them by their own names, right? I call them gods.”
“I see. Constellations… …! Truly, they are beings that I can never stop talking about.”
Thanks to Sang-hyeon’s clever answer, Han Hyeon-jeong could only take a sip of coffee.
It seemed like it had floated.
In her eyes, she thought that if she was like that, the gods would be interested in her at least once.
“That turned out to be a pointless joke. I’m sorry. Anyway, the reason I wanted to talk to Sang-Hyeon was simple.”
She got straight to the point.
She was known in the past for not beating around the bush, and it seems like she’s been like that from the beginning.
“Let me hear it.”
“Do you have any intention of signing a sponsorship contract with Hyunjung Corporation? Not a sponsorship, not a guild membership, not a vague partnership or anything.”
Sponsor. It’s sponsorship.
It is similar to the practice of athletes receiving sponsorship from a specific company and wearing clothes or shoes with the company’s logo on them.
Player sponsorships go a bit further here, with players being listed alongside their interviews with reporters or when their activity log is logged.
What if Sang-Hyeon, who is currently a member of the SH guild, a one-person guild, checks the article after the media interview?
Shin Sang-hyun (25 years old, SH, Hyunjeong Corporation)

It is displayed like this.
It is exposed in a very meaningful position, as it is placed right after the name of the guild you belong to.
‘The proposal itself is fine.’
There were plenty of merits.
First of all, the organizations related to Han Hyun-jung were absolutely not criminal organizations or organizations with a bad reputation.
At least having a name associated with Han Hyun-jung will be beneficial in the future, but it is unlikely to be detrimental.
“What do you think about the amount?”
“5 billion won a year. How about that?”
It’s a peek.
Judging from the fact that he didn’t even make a formal remark about giving more because he was the highest, it didn’t seem like it was a serious offer.
He just wanted to see if she was willing to accept the sponsorship offer. Sang-Hyeon read her mind right away.
‘Then let me give you exactly the answer you were thinking of.’
Sang-Hyeon smiled faintly.
As expected, she is a clever, fox-like woman.
“That’s more than enough for me.”
I was joking on purpose.
She also just tried to poke him, so Sang-Hyeon also pretended to feel pain after being stabbed.
“Hohoho. You’re so mischievous.”
“What’s so mischievous?”
“If you don’t like the price, just say so! Isn’t that a very transparent rejection?”
“I don’t think that’s something I should hear. The one who stabbed me first and showed me the inside was Han Hyun-jung.”
“You’re sharp, Mr. Shin Sang-hyun.”
“I don’t have a hobby of beating around the bush, so I’ll be honest. Even now, if I put my mind to it, I could make 5 billion won in a few days.”
Sang-Hyeon said calmly.
It is the truth without a single lie.
Even today, if you sell 4 Platinum Artifacts in the Hyunjeong Market, you can secure at least 4 billion won.
This is why I can’t help but laugh at the condition of 5 billion won per year.
“Okay. That was a very basic suggestion just now. Now, the important part is coming up.”
“hmm?”
“If you give me the certification for the constellation that Sang-Hyeon has a contract with, the amount of the donation could change completely.”
‘How clever, this lady.’
Her tactic is to create expectations of a large sum of money and extract key information from the player. It seems plausible.
Seeing her so firmly armed with capitalist logic, I could see why she was successful.
‘It’s true that you’re interested in me, but you haven’t completely judged my worth. It’s incomplete.’
Sang-Hyeon read the situation accurately.
If your proposal is not specific and is conditional, it means you don’t know yourself well yet.
It seems that since I saw his face in person once, I wanted to stamp my eyes on him. That was exactly the feeling.
“Thank you for the drink. I think there will be another time when we can talk about more specifics.”
Sang-Hyeon stood up first.
If she had been really desperate, she would have tried to hold on to Sang-Hyeon, but as expected, she kept an ambiguous distance.
“I have high expectations for the future. Please put in a lot of effort to promote national prestige. Aren’t our country’s players hot?”
“I must be faithful to the work given to me. I don’t know about promoting national prestige… … Well, I guess I’ll get a chance, right?”
He answered with a smile.
Anyway, since I had met and made connections with people who were sure to grow rapidly in the future, it seemed like it would be helpful in many ways.
Sang-Hyeon was sure that the coffee he had with her today would not be the last.
“See you again next time.”
“I am welcome. If you wish.”
After wrapping up the greetings, Sang-Hyeon went outside and took the elevator to the Platinum Floor.
Although it was just a short tea time, we had an expensive conversation that could not even be converted into monetary value.
Relationship with Han Hyun-jung.
I thought it would be really useful.
one side.
Han Hyun-jung, who confirmed that Sang-hyeon had left in the elevator, pressed the button on the desk table.
Then the wall clock in the corner of the office started to move, and a person appeared inside it.
It was a secret space inside the office that even Sang-Hyeon was unaware of.
The person who came out was a woman with long, black hair that had settled calmly and covered half of her face.
Her appearance, with only one eye, half a nose, and half a lip visible, was clearly not ordinary.
“Yeon-ah.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Collect more detailed information about Shin Sang-hyun. Other than the general information known to the public.”
“It takes a considerable amount of money to obtain information about the Association or Eden Guild. Everyone is very talkative.”
“It doesn’t matter. When have you seen me save money?”
“Let’s get started right away.”
“Get to know everything. Especially the people you’re close with. You can’t be alone forever.”
“All right.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lee Yeon, Han Hyeon-jeong’s confidant and so-called ‘shadow warrior’, disappeared without a trace.
“It is true that Shin Sang-hyun’s growth trajectory is different from other foreign cases.”
Han Hyun-jung’s gaze deepened.
She was sure.
I don’t know about Shinjwa, but I’m saying that Sang-Hyeon must have made a contract with a pretty rare constellation. The synergy would be good.
And with that level of growth, there was a very high chance that the new king would be interested.
“Shin Sang-hyun is definitely a player that Shinjwa should pay attention to. Do you agree with me?”
When Han Hyun-jung spoke to someone, a response came right back.
【The Immortal God nods. However, he says that the intentions of the other gods, who are extremely sinister, are not easy to guess.】
“Haha, should I just take the seat that made the contract with me? Anyway, I need to look into it a little more deeply.”
The immortal throne that she contracted with.
The power that Shinjwa gave to Han Hyeonjeong was the ability to be immortal. Of course, there was a major premise: not killing.
No one should be killed.
* * *
‘4 billion… … It’s chewing gum. Isn’t that a small amount of compensation for the guy who tried to kill me?’
Sang-Hyeon, who finished selling artifacts on the Platinum Step, was delighted to see his balance increase significantly.
Balance of 10.6 billion won! It was the moment when I surpassed the balance of 10 billion won, which I had never achieved in my previous life.
After returning, less than a month had passed before he had surpassed 30 years of his previous life.
A life that has definitely changed!
Life in regression was definitely different.
Wealth, fame, and even growth!
There was nothing missing.
