- Kyah, a man who never backs down
- So reliable! Great Jurim!
- Hallyu Ban 2, let’s go~
Yeah, but the moment he starts selling Gru toys, you’ll come crawling like dogs to buy them~
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Fuck, Gru toys hahahahahahaha
We were all saying he was so cool and badass until yesterday, and now he’s making Gru toys in just one day hahaha
[Title: Hallyu Ban 2 Might Actually Be a Good Thing?]
Just listing what they fundamentally can’t do:
Doan G Innovation, which joined SSPED
Creato Reactor
Changer (a.k.a. Gru toy)
If they can’t buy these? Then who’s really losing?
[Comments]
- What a relief~
- For real, haha
[Title: But How Much Is a Creato Now?]
Title says it all
[Comments]
- Now it’s 1,500 each
What kind of coin is this? It was definitely 100 yesterday
Wow, fuck, I should’ve just bought yesterday. How much would I have made selling today?
If there are any listings up, buy today. Research institutes and corporations are going crazy trying to buy them, so the price will keep rising for a while?
Burning 1,500 on a single Grade F? *Hiss*...
Fact) A would’a-could’a bird (someone who whines “should’ve bought then” or “should’ve sold then” during a bull or bear market) never buys in their life
Fuck, hurts like hell, getting one-shot

A middle-aged man leaned back against a plush chair.
Creak. The bleak sound of the chair sliding backward echoed through the office.
The subordinate, who had been observing his superior’s every movement with acute sensitivity, merely bowed his head even lower.
[“Do you think my China, this great nation, should hear such insulting words from a thieving nation that stole our prized asset?”]
Hu Weigang, Minister of the MSS, threw the newspaper down onto the desk.
The newspaper, which featured On Jurim’s face prominently on the front page, was heavily crumpled.
He picked up a pottery liquor bottle, took a swig, and trudged toward his subordinate.
[“I must go see the Chairman now. Overcome with shame, would I even have anything to say?”]
It was clear that the responsibility for proposing to bring Yi Soyeon over with an enormous sum would fall entirely on him.
[“I have nothing to say. I am sorry.”]
Watching the subordinate bow his head repeatedly, Hu Weigang ground his teeth.
[“You guaranteed that Yi Soyeon could never be produced in Korea.”]
Yet it was clear that she had left crucial research data behind in Korea.
If that weren’t the case, there was no way Korea would be talking about mass production so quickly.
Furthermore, Korea was currently working with Amakusa. Their talk of belittling Chinese items must not have been entirely false.
That fucking idiot Takahashi Norio.
He clenched his fist. He couldn’t afford to end up like that stupid Prime Minister of Japan.
[“Do not worry about that. A guest will visit Yi Soyeon.”]
[“Do you think the Chairman would be curious about Yi Soyeon’s well-being?”]
Unlike Yi Soyeon, whom they could move against at any time, Korea’s On Jurim was not so easily handled.
Sun Jianping, reading his superior’s intentions, knelt on one knee and looked up at him.
[“Making a petty nation know its place is also the virtue of a great nation. If you permit me, I shall go and deliver a lesson to those who do not know their standing.”]
[“On Jurim?”]
[“Compared to a great nation flourishing by the day, he is merely a paper tiger of a petty nation.”]
[“Kekeke! A paper tiger? Keke……”]
He was indeed a young hothead who had never met On Jurim in person.
But his spirit showed the will and capability of a new generation.
Of course, he knew there were risks. If it were revealed that China had secretly dispatched a special forces unit, it would escalate into a national conflict.
But.
[“That is an answer to my liking. Then prove it.”]
He knew there were times when one had to rush in like a moth to a flame. Limits could only be surpassed in such moments.
With a small spark of expectation, Hu Weigang sent his subordinate out.
Soon, team members lined up before Sun Jianping as he stepped outside.
[“Permission has been granted. From now on, we begin the tiger hunt.”]

As if anticipating an attack from China, Hyeonak had said they were moving mainly with Team 1 these days.
It would mean they had some defenses prepared.
But that was fine. Since there were more than one or two dungeons to clear, he had heard they were split into two teams today.
Today’s targets would be fewer in number.
At Sun Jianping’s hand signal, the armed team members entered the dungeon gate.
They immediately used stealth skills, took out prepared pills, and chewed them with their molars before swallowing.
Even though their mana would explode in an instant, everyone controlled it like veterans, ensuring none of it leaked out.
Sun Jianping nodded and looked around. The dungeon was covered in thick fog.
They decided to move toward the boss room as planned.
Taptaptap!
Sun Jianping’s heavily silenced footsteps led the way, and behind him, the hidden team members began making successive taptaptap sounds.
At this speed, it wouldn’t even take ten minutes to reach the boss room.
It was just as the running Sun Jianping gripped his sword.
Taptaptap.
Taptaptap.
‘What?’
One by one.
The footsteps were disappearing.
The moment he realized that.
Tat, tat!
Tat!
The running sounds couldn’t continue and all vanished.
Sun Jianping stopped, turned around, and sent a radio transmission.
- Where is everyone now?
- ….
But no answer came.
Waiting for a silent reply, Sun Jianping realized he was trembling in fear.
Cold sweat flowed endlessly from his temples.
Was it possible to make team members disappear like magic without the slightest warning?
Then what about me?
Why am I unharmed?
It felt as if he were being toyed with by a god.
Just as he thought that and turned his head toward the sky.
Sun Jianping witnessed it.
The thing glimpsed in the fog was so enormous that he couldn’t see its top even when he craned his head high.
It seemed to mimic the human form, yet had twisted limbs and a hideous face.
Countless limbs were tangled together, and at their ends, his team members hung limply, one by one.
The monster lifted a team member it had been holding in one hand, then slowly turned its head toward Sun Jianping.
[“Ah…….”]
At that, it mimicked Sun Jianping’s voice as if smiling.
“Ah…….”
His heart froze at the scraping voice.
The monster he was witnessing seemed like a being created from terror itself.
While he stood unable to even breathe.
“It’s the Gatekeeper of the 90th floor.”
A man’s voice speaking slowly came from somewhere.
“It’s a monster that is a curse incarnate—a being that ‘can disappear, but cannot die.’”
It was an existence that vanished when snuffed out like a candle, and appeared when lit.
“We cleared it because of that, but I ended up keeping it……”
He fiddled with the watch strap on his wrist as he revealed himself from beyond the fog.
Jurim smiled faintly.
“Turns out there’s a use for it like this.”
[“Aah…….”]
Above Sun Jianping, who had slumped down with a thud, his team members began falling one by one.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Black forms piled up one after another.
It was an incomprehensible sight.
Facing the man he had looked down on as a paper tiger, overwhelming fear that left him unable to even wield a weapon swept over him.
Standing before him, Jurim stared intently at Sun Jianping’s chest with an annoyed expression.
Meanwhile.
“Big Bro’s not messing around today……. Noona, we’re in trouble. I think we need to run a sanchi check on Dan right now (a mental strength stat check; if it drops below a certain level, he panics).”
“What’s a sanchi check?”
“Is that thing even human?”
Gidan, Nayeon, and Serhi, who had been watching from afar, spoke in succession.
“Isn’t it possible he’s not human?”
When Nayeon spoke seriously, Serhi retorted as if he had expected her to say that.
“He probably got experimented on somewhere?”
To that, Gidan let out a grunt of agreement.
“That might be better. Isn’t it scarier if he’s a pure one-hundred-percent human with no signs of anyone tampering with him?”
Then, when Jurim turned his head, the three clamped their mouths shut in unison.
He pulled one side of his lips up in a sneer and raised a micro transceiver.
The body cam Sun Jianping had brought captured Jurim’s face.
It was all probably being transmitted to the MSS.
“Did you enjoy the show?”
It was only a one-way transmission from Jurim’s side, but that was enough.
“Then now it’s time to settle the score.”
Because from now on, everything was the winner’s due.
