Chapter 14. An Oddball Player (2) (2/2)

“Huh?” shi+m Deok-Gu’s eyes widened as he read over a coaze, he handed the paper over to Seo Jun-Ho “How about this?”

“Let ely, the for was refreshi+ng to his eyes

But the request was far fro

“Huh So it’s a request frohter with a ter that can cure it is the Cinder Fox’s core”

The Cinder Fox Seo Jun-Ho’s brows furrowed at the name

“That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while”

“You killed one before, didn’t you?”

“Yeah I almost died”

It hadn’t even been half a year since he becaames at the time

“Are there still Gates with Cinder Foxes? I only encountered one during all my time as a Player”

“Yup In Korea, no less” shi+m Deok-Gu respondedSeo Jun-Ho looked surprised when he heard shi+m Deok-Gu’s words “Really? Why did I not know until now?”

“That’s because you were so focused on Uncleared Gates”

“It has a Cinder Fox but it’s not Uncleared?”

“It only appeared 3 o so it doesn’t quite meet the requirements”

Uncleared Gates had to meet two conditions One, it had to be at least 6 months old Two, in that time span, it had to have at least 5 failed attempts

“It’s easier to just show you” Deok-Gu tapped twice on Vita and a display appeared

[Burning Dunes]

Required level: 5-15

Party cap: 30 people

Clear condition: Defeat the Cinder Fox

Difficulty: Hard

Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes sparkled as he read over the description

“This is gonna be harder than the one I caught before” There was a reason that Seo Jun-Ho concluded this way “The Cinder Fox I caught before required levels 10 through 20 and had a party cap of 50” This time, the requirements were stricter

shi+m Deok-Gu shook his head “Not necessarily”

“Why not?”

“The standards for Players have gone up So did ite better?” Seo Jun-Ho asked before he nodded slowly “Well, that’s probably true I haven’t seen any Players in action since I’ve come back” All he saw so far were the Players fro they are these days’

Were they as strong as shi+otten?

“I’eneration Player Didn’t that mean that he was everyone’s sunbae?[2]

‘I want to see how ’[3]

Seo Jun-Ho waved the commission form in his hand “I’ll do this one I want to see htened “Really?”

“Yup Why do you look so happy about it?”

“Oh, that’s…”

He didn’t knohat shi+s were always clear to Seo Jun-Ho He gave up onexcuses and answered “I actually know the person who sent the commission”

“Really? Are you two close?”

“Not really I didn’t even know that he sent one” That made sense Deok-Gu looked shocked when he first saw it “You know Myungho Group? He’s the CEO” Deok-Gu explained

“Oh? So he’s old man Choi Man-Hyuk’s son?”

“He’s the second son Choi Pil-Ho You probably haven’t ht?”

“WellI suppose when he was bragging about his sons” Seo Jun-Ho stared at the for Schedule afor me”

The next day, Seo Jun-Ho made his way to the association President’s office as Deok-Gu had ordered

‘Huh?’

He paused as he opened the door There was another person in the office aside froth black hair

“Ah, you’ve colanced at shi+m Deok-Gu, and he nodded “I’ll introduce you This is Cha Si-Eun She will be yourtoday”

“My name is Cha Si-Eun! Please take care of me!”

“Yes, likewise” As he took in her cheerful greeting, Seo Jun-Ho realized as going on

‘I see She’ll be in charge of my interpersonal work’

No matter how close he and Deok-Gu were, that was a personal relationshi+p If the association President personally assisted a Player, it would clearly be suspicious

‘It’s a good thing that he’s separating his public and private lives’

Rather than annoyed or sad, Seo Jun-Ho only felt more confident in shi+ho Group CEO, correct?”

“Yes, President” The corner of shi+m Deok-Gu’s mouth twitched as Seo Jun-Ho switched over to a formal tone

“Ms Cha Si-Eun over here will escort you She’s very capable, so you’ll find yourself relying on her in the future”

“I-I’m not thatThank you for your kind words” Cha Si-Eun looked at Seo Jun-Ho as she responded with a timid voice “ThereThere are 32time, so we should leave within 6 ht now,” Seo Jun-Ho said

“Ah, alright!” Cha Si-Eun’s heels clicked as she escorted hiood results!” shi+hed as he waved from his seat
