Youngest Leader vs Veteran Leader
Yang Jung-geun, who caught everyone’s attention, stood up on the raised desk in the center so that as many participants as possible could see him.
“I think a lot of people know me. I am Yang Jung-geun! Former Dream Gold Clan Master!”
Yang Jung-geun began his speech in a loud voice.
“This is someone who has conquered more dungeons than anyone else here, has caught more monsters than anyone else, and has commanded more hunters than anyone else! “If there is anyone who can refute this, please come out!”
At those words, everyone turned to look at each other. But no one came forward.
Even people who looked at Yang Jung-geun’s outrageous behavior with disapproval did not come forward.
Yang Jung-geun looked around at the quiet people and nodded with a satisfied face.
Then he continued speaking in a more confident voice.
“What we need to do now is for 240 people to work as one to catch the thieves! “That way, no one dies and everyone can pass the preliminaries!”
“······.”
“There are probably people who are curious now. “People who don’t even want to move together and think they can catch thieves on their own.”
Seeing some people nodding their heads, Yang Jung-geun made direct eye contact with them and shouted.
“Do you know who among those ten thieves is? “There’s Kim Jin-seong!”
“······!”
When Kim Jin-seong’s name came up, the participants looked around and started chattering.
“Exactly 10 of the guys I flew with today are not here! I’m sure they are thieves. And Kim Jin-seong was definitely on the same plane as us!”
As Yang Jung-geun finished speaking, the voices of the participants grew louder.
Of course, I thought everyone would be gathered in the same place, but after listening to Yang Jung-geun’s words, I realized that there were really only a few participants.
“Really?”
“Now that you think about it, is that right? “I thought I couldn’t see a few of the people on the plane earlier…”
“What’s certain is that Kim Jin-seong rode with me. “I was chatting with Seol-daun the whole way on the plane.”
Seeing no end to the murmur, Yang Jung-geun shouted loudly again, turning attention to himself.
“If you didn’t listen to me and went searching separately, imagine that you met Kim Jin-seong! Are you confident that you can survive against that monster? Put your hand on your heart and be honest! uh?”
“······.”
No one could answer.
In fact, although no one is saying it, it is a public fact that everyone is looking at Kim Jin-seong, the ‘person with the ability to absorb’, as the number one person to watch out for.
“What we need to do now is not to keep each other in check and go around separately, but to form a large party and hunt them down one by one!”
At some point, only Yang Jung-geun’s voice could be heard in the hall.
“Only when more than 50 people play cooperatively like cogs can they catch a monster as big as Kim Jin-seong. Do you know what I mean?”
“······.”
“Then you need someone to command this many people, right? “Who should do that?”
pop! pop!
Yang Jung-geun pounded his chest with his palm and shouted.
“There is none other than me, Yang Jung-geun, who once led the greatest sacred clan in Korea. We all agree on this! is not it?”
Yang Jung-geun raised his head stiffly and looked around. It was as if his eyes were telling him to come out if he was dissatisfied.
The gaze of Yang Jung-geun, who once commanded the Incheon region as the master of Dream Gold, had returned at this moment.
“Everyone, just for today, believe and follow my words! “I will lead you all through the preliminaries!”
“······.”
“Yeah, I know you guys hate me! But aren’t we all ‘forced laborers’ anyway? Is it meaningful to consider the severity of the crime here? Isn’t skill what’s important now? is not it?”
After finishing his speech, Yang Jung-geun pointed in front of him with his finger.
“Those who will follow my words, gather around me here!”
Everyone looked at each other at those words, and soon began to act according to their thoughts.
At a glance, the number of people gathered near Yang Jung-geun was the largest.
‘Wasn’t Dream Gold Party Play famous once? Yang Jung-geun, who commanded them, is trustworthy.’
‘Personally, I don’t like him very much, but in the current situation, he is the only person I can trust as a leader.’
‘And you’re a B-class hunter, right? Even if you look at his power alone, he is someone who will definitely help you if you work with him.’
And about 60 to 70 people began to gather at the exit furthest from Yang Jung-geun.
“I never believe anything that bastard says.”
Among them, a man who appeared to be in his late 30s whispered to everyone around him in a quiet voice.
“That bastard, even during the Dream Gold days, he was famous for killing subordinates he didn’t like without even realizing it.”
“omg···.”
“A bastard like that is talking about cooperative play? “He’s the kind of guy who can stick a knife in our backs at any time?”
The man soon started telling everyone his opinion.
“Let’s not do that, let’s move separately and kill one guy quickly. “You said you would let everyone pass as long as they were involved in killing you, right?”
“How are you going to find it?”
“There is a way.”
The man continued speaking with his voice lowered.
“My name is Deokgu Lee. Deokgu Lee. “Do you know anyone?”
“Lee Deok-gu…? ah!”
“ah!”
As soon as I heard the names, I remembered who some of the people were.
“Isn’t he the one who broke through the first barrier in Group B of the preliminaries?”
“Radar skills!”
“that’s right. After all, everyone knows!”
Deokgu Lee explained to his companions.
“That’s right, I’m a radar expert. “It can detect all living things within a radius of a few hundred meters.”

“oh···!”
“Now you know why I suggested we get together separately, right?”
The eyes of the companions looking at Lee Deok-gu instantly changed into trusting eyes.
Lee Deok-gu, who confirmed the look in his eyes, continued.
“Let’s quickly plan a proper strategy and kill one guy in an instant! Let’s get through the preliminaries quickly. Now then, let’s all gather together.”
* * *
“Mr. Lee Deok-gu?”
Jinseong Kim asked, looking at the participant next to him.
“You were the leader of the players who broke through the walls of District 1 in Group B of the preliminary round…?”
“that’s right. “He was sitting next to me.”
Jinseong Kim nodded after hearing the participant’s answer.
“Then you should be even more careful. In fact, we have to go into this game thinking that everyone who was on the same plane as us was a tagger.”
“······.”
“Thank you for the information, Pungbitgaram.”
The expression of the participant called Pungbitgaram changed.
“Did you know me?”
“of course. “You performed so well as an ‘acting talent’ in Group B.”
“···Tsk.”
Pungbitgaram will take away the bitter taste.
Kim Jin-seong spoke to him with a smiling face.
“If we are all to survive for a long time this time, we really need Pungbitgaram’s strength. In fact, I think I’m the second strongest person here.”
“Then what’s the first thing…?”
Instead of answering, Kim Jin-seong only smiled thinly.
Pungbitgaram’s eyes widened at that sight, and then he too burst into laughter.
“that’s right. This is Jinseong Kim. “Honestly, I can’t deny it.”
Other participants also nodded at those words.
Although they were not saying anything, they all acknowledged that Kim Jin-seong was the strongest among all the participants.
“We don’t have time, so let’s keep talking.”
Kim Jin-seong turned everyone’s attention to the map spread out on the table.
“As you can see, there is an underground passage in addition to the above ground passage. “If you include the sewage system, there are a total of 4 underground floors.”
As Kim Jin-seong’s fingers moved, all the participants’ eyes followed.
“Then shall we now discuss who will go down to the basement and how many people we will send?”
* * *
Kim Jin-seong’s meeting was broadcast to viewers around the world on TV.
– Oh Kim Jin-seong!
– Are you doing well? lol
– How can he speak so well?
– He’s the youngest over there, but he’s blatantly acting as the leader haha.
– What does age matter? My skills are great.
– ㅆㅇㅈ
An internet broadcast chat room where chats responding to Kim Jin-seong’s leadership are coming up at a rapid pace.
The PD, who was checking the chat room and the monitor alternately, opened his mouth.
“I think I could edit this scene with Kim Jin-seong and the scene where Yang Jung-geun was giving a speech earlier and make a clip of it.”
“Is it good? First of all, just seeing Kim Jin-seong and Yang Jung-geun, two people with stories, caught in one scene will definitely attract aggro.”
While the two PDs were discussing their opinions, Baek Jun and Jang Seung-wook, who were standing behind them, were also talking while looking at Kim Jin-seong.
“Kim Jin-seong’s personality has changed a lot since a month ago? “I definitely took off my immature and youthful appearance.”
“It’s really changed a lot.”
“I think I’m starting to feel like a top predator… even at such a young age. “It’s amazing, really.”
Baekjun was smiling happily while listening to Jang Seungwook’s admiration.
From Baek Jun’s perspective, who had been watching Kim Jin-seong since Fight Club, Kim Jin-seong now seemed like a completely different person.
‘I don’t know how much more I’ll have grown by the time the finals are over.’
The growth Baekjun expected now was not growth in skills, but inner growth.
I don’t know how much more mature and strong he will become, but what is certain is that Kim Jin-seong is currently growing in the right direction in all aspects.

[This is an announcement to the participants who took on the role of a thief. There is one minute left until the game starts. Finally, please check your equipment and prepare for departure. I’ll say it again…]
“Okay, everyone is ready, right?”
When Kim Jin-seong turned to everyone and asked, everyone nodded with a nervous expression.
Kim Jin-seong, who saw that everyone was extremely nervous, immediately moved to the center of them.
“If you follow the plan, there will be no problem.”
Everyone looked at Jinseong Kim with nervous faces.
“As long as you follow my instructions.”
As soon as Kim Jin-seong finished speaking, the tightly shut exit door began to slowly open upward, accompanied by a loud siren sound.
As if they had been waiting, the 10 thieves ran out at once.
They all began to disperse in the direction they had planned in advance.
“This is thief number one. Everyone, please tell me everything you see around you.”
Kim Jin-seong, who was running straight, opened his mouth like that with his earphones turned on.
Then, the voices of scattered people were heard reporting one after another.
[This is number 2. There are a lot of abandoned houses and broken stone debris. I think there are potions and weapons inside the abandoned house.]
“Take everything you need. “Be sure to take all the things you think will be useful as a tagger.”
[All right.]
While listening to the answer, Jinseong Kim picked up the HP potion that was lying in the corner of the stone rubble.
After throwing it on the floor and breaking it, reports continued to ring in his ears as he continued to run.
[This is number 3, as expected, there are a lot of abandoned houses and what appears to be broken castle walls. It looks like some medieval castle was bombed.]
[No. 4, No. 4. Monsters are already starting to appear.]
[Same as number 5. The monsters I have discovered now are ghouls, man-eating birds, and vine monsters… they are really diverse.]
“Everyone, avoid dealing with monsters. “If you leave it alone, you can further delay the approach of taggers.”
[All right.]
While giving such instructions, Kim Jin-seong himself appeared to be swinging his sword straight ahead.
Suddenly. A man-eating bird that was attacking him with a sound split its body in half.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 20 Vis Creama points.
▶ Acquired ‘reproduction’, a characteristic of the opposing monster.
▷ Raw food: You will not get sick even if you consume food raw.
Kim Jin-seong asked while clearing the notification window that popped up in front of him.
“What about number 6?”
[There are a lot of monsters here too… ugh!! What, what?!]
Participant number 6 suddenly screams while speaking.
Jinseong Kim asked urgently.
“are you okay? What happened?”
