I Became A Mechanic - Chapter 78: Songpa Gate (3)
Chapter 78: Songpa Gate (3)
Some of the battle scenes there were released to the world by CCTV installed throughout the blasting site.
The miners testified of their attack. Oh, Cheong-Gil of Poong-rim meekly confessed to the crime and testified that the incident with Dark Star was accidental.
However, various speculations and conspiracy theories that they have cooperated with Dark Star since they were stationed at Mt. Gwanggyo did not stop spreading.
The criticism was out of control, and as a result, Poong-rim, which had been associated with Asia’s largest crime guild, was dishonorably disbanded.
Of course, the two captured Dark Star guild members were given the death penalty. The guild members of Poong-rim also cooperated with international crime guilds, so it was the death penalty for any reason.
Oh Cheong-Gil, a unique classmate who confessed his guilt, prevented cracks and backflows, and defended the country, also had difficulty avoiding the death penalty.
Oh Cheong-gil, who had feared that he would become a weapon-bearer, was discouraged.
Oh Cheong-Gil quickly decided to leave the gold and items he had for his family.
On the other hand, Baek Jin-seong was thinking of moving a man with his gold and items.
He was the only man not in handcuffs in prison.
Seok-Jun Kang, 27 years old, is a unique + grade male.
Kang Seok-Jun was born inside the gate.
Kang Seok-Jun’s parents hid through a gate in Daegu when a crack occurred.
He went into the mountain at the gate, gave birth to Kang Seok-Jun there, and decided that the Earth was dangerous, so he lived there.
Then, when Kang Seok-Jun was 20 years old, a reflux phenomenon occurred, and a boss monster came to the mountain where Kang Seok-Jun lived.
Kang Seok-Jun, who lost his parents to the boss, beat the boss monster alone and came out of the gate.
Kang Seok-Jun, who could not quickly adapt to modern civilization, killed a person who argued with him like a monster.
To capture Seok-Jun Kang, the Daegu guild attacked him, but they could not compete with him.
At that time, the number of guild members in Daegu who died because of Kang Seok-Jun exceeded 80.
The Daegu Guild alone could not catch him, so Choi Jeong-han and Choi Shik-Hyeon quickly descended from Daehan.
Kang Seok-Jun was captured by guild members in Daehan and imprisoned.
Upon learning that he was a gate-in, Choi Jeong-han allowed him to receive an education in prison so that he could adapt to modern civilization.
Because his power was unique+, the leaders decided that if he was to be reformed, it would be helpful to Korea and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
Seven years passed, and he was a model prisoner, so his older brother was commuted and was about to be released in three years.
And even today, Kang Seok-Jun is constantly receiving the edification program.
Kang Seok-Jun yawned as if tired and looked at the incoming teacher.
The teacher smiled brightly and stood in front of the screen board.
“Hello, did you sleep well?”
“yes~”
“That’s fortunate. So, let’s start the class. The person I will tell you about today is a man named Junwoo Lee. He is a Korean hero who has recently been respected by the people.”
The teachers educated Seok-Jun Kang in many ways, especially about those who are respected by the people.
Kang Seok-Jun was also a government-level edification program that wanted him to do the same.
Because he had personal time to watch TV, to some extent, Kang Seok-Jun knew about Lee Junwoo.
“I am going to teach you about him today. First of all, he was a Normal-class blacksmith. But somehow, he got a unique+ or legendary class job.”
Kang Seok-Jun reacted to the word legend.
“Legend?”
“I’m not sure. But his deeds are surprising enough. First of all, he is an alchemist. He is dedicated to helping people with no reward… ….”
The teacher informed them about what Junwoo had done.
“Even in a crisis, I mustered the courage to enter the dungeon gate.”
Kang Seok-Jun yawned and entered the class.
And when it was time to exercise, Kang Seok-Jun went to the playground.
The playground was relatively small, and the sky was obscured by titanium and adamantium iron bars.
Still, the sunlight came in, so Kang Seok-Jun stared blankly at the sun.
Then Baek Jin-seong came.
As Baek Jin-seong approached, the guard in charge next to Kang Seok-Jun stopped him.
A prison guard was permanently attached to Kang Seok-jun.
“What happened?”
“Oh, I was wondering if we could talk for a moment.”
“Conversation with death row inmates is forbidden.”
“Wait a minute… ….”
“Go away.”
“Ah… ….”
The fact that the prison guard was attached was a variable for Baek Jin-seong.
He couldn’t tell the story itself.
Then Kang Seok-Jun said.
“You want to talk.”
“But this man… ….”
“I know, bro.”
“All right.”
The guard took a step aside and watched them.
Baek Jin-seong hurriedly approached the front and smiled hard.
“Nice to meet you. It is called Baek Jinseong of the Poong-rim Guild.”
Kang Seok-Jun answered bluntly.
“By the way?”
“Perhaps… I was wondering if you could help me.”
“How?”
“I know you can get out of this place if you want to. Why don’t you leave this place with the four people who came this time and me? Four are Epic+ rated, and one is unique. If you just help me, get out, I’ll give you all five of us gold and items… ….”
“Shall we escape?”
Baek Jin-seong responded quickly.
“Yes, you do not need to be locked up here. Why don’t you go abroad with me? Korea just wants to take advantage of you through edification.”
Kang Seok-Jun smiled timidly.
“Brother.”
The guard came.
“Does this person want to escape?”
Baek Jin-seong was startled.
“Go away.”
“… … .”
“Well, it’s obvious.”
If ten of the prisoners were on death row, all ten suggested that Kang Seok-Jun escape.
But no sweet words could move Kang Seok-jun.
Kang Seok-Jun wasn’t even thinking about escaping; even; even if he did, he didn’t need anyone’s help.
Baek Jin-seong looked at the two wide-eyed and knelt down as if begging Kang Seok-jun.
“Please… If you let me go, I will give you everything I have.”
“Just die.”
Kang Seok-Jun’s leg kicked Baek Jin-seong’s stomach.
Swoosh!
Baek Jin-seong’s body flew away in a parabola and rolled on the floor.
Baek Jin-seong, whose prosthetic leg and prosthetic arm had fallen off, fell on the floor and hurriedly crawled toward the prosthetic leg.
Kang Seok-Jun asked the guard next to him.
“Hyung, do you know Lee Junwoo?”
“I know.”
“Are you really a legend?”
“I do not know… I am just guessing.”
“He made people’s hands and feet. I wish I could make mine, but this feels uncomfortable.”
It was Kang Seok-Jun looking at the iron fingers.
It was an Automail made in place of the wrist cut off by Choi Jeong-han in the battle seven years ago.
“I heard they sell good Automail.”
“I will buy it when I go out. Until then, you won’t be killed by Dark Stars or anything else, will you?”
“Maybe… Is that right?”
Kang Seok-Jun nodded his head and yawned loudly.
“Ha… I feel sleepy. I’m going to sleep.”
“Go on.”
Kang Seok-Jun returned to prison with the guards.
Baek Jin-seong talked to Kang Seok-Jun if he had a chance after that day, but Kang Seok-Jun just kicked Baek Jin-seong every time.
10 days passed like that.
News of their execution spread quickly in the Report.
And during that time, Poong-rim was utterly dismantled, and the guild members were dispersed and absorbed into several guilds.
Poong-rim’s Master, Choi Baek-san, went to the countryside to take a break, and vice-master Oh Jeong-soo joined Aegis at Junwoo’s request.
Most of Poong-rim’s employees became Aegis employees, and Aegis guild buildings were established in Gangdong and Hanam.
The Songpa Gate also came under the control of Aegis, and Junwoo started investigating the Songpa Gate.
The gate management staff brought documents showing the daily sales of gate usage fees, the salaries of the bodyguards assigned to each hunting ground, and the salaries of the gate management guild members.
Junwoo glanced at it once and looked at the schematic diagram of the Songpa Gate.
The gate at the entrance was found in a field, but there were mountains on either side.
Besides that, there were many mountains everywhere.
The mountain was a factor that unnecessarily increased the travel time.
Going up and down the mountain, there was a lot of terrain like that at Songpa Gate.
It seemed that the number of users of Songpa Gate would increase just by making a way through the mountain to an important famous hunting ground.
As the number of users increases, the revenue from usage fees will increase, but Junwoo wanted more people to use the gate than that.
Hunting could be risky, but ultimately the gate was a place of growth and opportunity.
As many people grew up, Korea’s national power would also increase.
“Where is the popular hunting ground?”
The staff who managed the gate quickly answered Junwoo’s question.
“First of all, there are Rainforest and Tree Forest to the left from the gate, Oak Village to the north, and Haunted Forest and Haunted Tower to the south. If you go further… ….”
Junwoo looked at the map once.
On the map, the name and Level of the hunting ground were written along with the terrain.
Most of the time, it felt like a mountain was blocking the way.
“How would you feel if we dug a tunnel in the mountains, here and here, in these two places?”
In response to Junwoo’s question, the staff seemed to be puzzled.
“Tunnel… Eul?”
“To be able to go back and forth comfortably.”
“It would be good for users, of course, but… It takes time and time to dig up that much land… The cost… ….”
The technology was equipped through blasting work.
Even if it takes a lot of time, if you clear the gates, you can significantly reduce the travel time.
Above all, the road to the land square also had to be drilled someday, so Junwoo called Jeong Dae-nam, who was resting.
Jeong Dae-nam asked with a surprised face.
“Yeah? Tunnel construction?”
“Have you ever tried it?”
“no… You only know how to install supports, but you’ve never built a tunnel before… ….”
“Try it now. There will be a lot of work ahead.”
“Yeah? Yeah… ….”
Junwoo called the construction wizard Ji-ho Choi and discussed it with Dae-nam Jeong.
Jiho Choi said.
“It’s not difficult to build a wall as long as you drill a road. Drilling through the mountains is a problem.”
“Let’s try it one by one. It will definitely help the development of the gate.”
“Yes, just leave it to me.”
Junwoo looked at Jeong Dae-nam and asked.
“How are all the miners?”
“Ah, yes… ….”
“Why don’t you all join Aegis?”
Jung Dae-nam was bewildered at Junwoo’s question and asked.
“Yeah? ah… may I?”
“of course. I have a lot of work ahead. I would like the two of you to take over the gate reclamation project.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you!”
Thus, Junwoo’s Songpa gate reclamation project began.
Jeong Dae-nam led the miners through the mountain blocking the way to the hunting grounds.
The tunnel construction was carried out similarly to the blasting site using an excavator and explosives.
The ore from the mountain was passed on to Junwoo, but the clearing business was a loss-making business.
However, Junwoo did not stop and called many construction wizards to try to clear the gate.
In the area near the gate, things like roads began to be laid. Stones and stones obstructing the way to the main hunting grounds were neatly arranged. The road was applied so that people could run comfortably.
Junwoo’s efforts were well received by gate users.
The number of Songpa Gate users increased daily, and the Aegis Guild building continued asking for guild membership.
As the area to be managed increased, more guild members were also needed. Aegis posted a recruitment notice for guild members again.
People from all over the country and worldwide flocked to the Aegis building to join.
Junwoo was loved by the people through the Automail charity project and became a person trusted by the people by solving the dungeon gate.
Because of that, the crowds gathered in the Aegis Guild building were enough to fill the surrounding roads.
