The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 179

"Miss, there's a guest from the People's Council."

"Again?"

Yi Ha-yeon furrowed her brow.

Ever since Sung JiHan had decided to select 20 players to participate in the battlefield of chaos from within the waiting guild, people from the number one guild in China, the People's Council, had been coming continuously.

"Guild Master, nice to see you again."

A middle-aged man with a greasy face entered the guild master's office with a smile on his face.

Jang Seung-chong.

One of the top officials of the People's Council in China, who had competed with Robert Gates for sponsorship when Sung JiHan obtained the Phoenix Wing.

Originally, he wasn't supposed to come all the way to Korea himself.

"You are still as beautiful as ever...! You are even more beautiful in person than on screen."

He had come personally without asking his subordinates, claiming to be a fan of Yi Ha-yeon.

"It's a shame that you are dating Sung JiHan. I'm really disappointed."

While saying that, Jang Seung-chong glanced at Yi Ha-yeon.

Yi Ha-yeon's expression turned cold under his greedy gaze.

This man is really annoying.

"Please get to the point."

"Haha, it's the same as I mentioned yesterday. I want to include the Five Players, including the Heavenly Demon King Lin, back into the waiting guild."

The People's Council, who had said they would leave when they left, now said they would come back naturally when the situation in the battlefield of chaos changed.

Yi Ha-yeon shook her head from side to side.

"I have to give you the same answer as yesterday. I'm sorry, but there are no vacancies. Please apply next time when there is an opening."

"Why don't you create a vacancy? It's just a matter of letting the players from other countries leave."

"It's impossible due to the contract."

"If you terminate the lease contracts with other players, we will collect all the penalties from them. We will also double the lease fees."

The People's Council seemed to be financially well-off.

Jang Seung-chong tried to persuade her with money, but Yi Ha-yeon rejected it outright.

"I appreciate the offer, but I have to consider our relationship with other guilds. It would be difficult to accept."

"Hehe... You should also consider our relationship with your guild. Wouldn't it be better for neighbors to get along well?"

"Weren't you the one who left first?"

Yi Ha-yeon confronted Sung JiHan and left.

Now, instead of apologizing, the People's Council was demanding that she give up her position with confidence. Yi Ha-yeon was speechless.

"There may be conflicts between neighbors for a while. However, since we will continue to meet each other, wouldn't it be beneficial for both of us to get along well? Among the players who have signed lease contracts, I heard that guild members from Italy and Australia have signed contracts early and are paying lower lease fees. Let's terminate the contracts with them and work with us."

Jang Seung-chong even specified the players to terminate the lease contracts with.

Yi Ha-yeon sighed and looked at Im Ga-young.

"It seems difficult to accept your offer. Ga-young, please see him off."

"Come this way."

"Haha, how amusing. It's a chance for both of us to benefit. It's a shame. See you again tomorrow."

Jang Seung-chong left the guild master's office with a smile until the end.

Not long after, Im Ga-young came back in.

"Was everything okay?"

"He even asked if I had a boyfriend. He said he owns three hotels in downtown Seoul and asked if I wanted to stay with him."

"Damn crazy bastard. I don't know why he's so good at Korean."

"Maybe his ex-wife was Korean."

"Did he have four kids?"

"No, he only has one child with her."

Then how many ex-wives does he have?

Yi Ha-yeon said with a sigh.

"I don't want to meet that man again tomorrow... Should we go on a business trip?"

"I strongly agree."

"Let's finalize the list of 20 people and leave then."

Sung JiHan plans to select 20 people for the battlefield of chaos.

Originally, the list included the name of Cheonma Wangrin.

Regardless of nationality or anything else, they were selected in order of the players with the highest growth potential.

In addition to Wangrin, there were also some non-guild members among the players Sung JiHan selected.

"I should have just chosen as you suggested at that time..."

From the perspective of the guild master, Lee Ha-yeon suggested selecting from the guild members to give them merit. But when Jang Sung-chong came to the guild, he regretted suggesting that for no reason.

"No, you've come this far... I have to go all the way as a guild member!"

Because of Lee Ha-yeon's suggestion, there was a surge of interest in the guild, and he finalized the list of guild members that day.

Due to the limit on the number of members in the waiting guild, the list ended with 10 talented individuals from Platinum.

"Owner, the guild member list has been finalized!"

"Yes, I will go and see."

Sung JiHan looked at the list that Lee Ha-yeon had finalized and nodded.

"Is this our guild member list?"

"Yes, please choose the remaining 10 from the list you provided. Can't we deduce from that list?"

"That's right."

The list of 10 individuals, including Balran of SSS rank and talented individuals with SS rank gifts.

Perhaps because promising individuals were sent to the waiting guild from all over the world, the selection was very splendid.

Among the remaining talents, 10 more can be deduced.

"Should I choose based on their gifts?"

In that case, the first person to be chosen would be Cheonma Wangrin.

Sung JiHan took out a pen and circled his name.

Lee Ha-yeon, who was watching from the side, cautiously opened his mouth.

"Owner... Are you planning to choose Wangrin?"

"Yes, I thought of choosing based on their gifts. It's better to take talented individuals."

"Ah, I see..."

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no. Owner, can I take a few days off then?"

"A vacation?"

"Yes, I won't go far, just rest at my house in Sword Palace."

Lee Ha-yeon, who never thought of taking a break and came to the guild every day, asking for a vacation.

When Sung JiHan looked at him with a puzzled look, Im Ga-young explained beside him.

"Lately, an annoying middle-aged man keeps giving work to the young lady. She seems to need some rest."

"Middle-aged man? Who is that?"

"The Vice Commander of the People's Council."

"Someone from the People's Council came?"

"Yes, he's asking for them to take back their people."

Are they asking to join the guild again after asking to reveal their martial arts origin?

Sung JiHan smirked.

"Did you at least apologize to the guild?"

"Apologize? What's that? He just said to make room by kicking out other guild members and he'll give more money."

Without even a minimum apology, they think that money can solve everything.

"It won't work."

"Just ignore him when he comes. Don't engage with him individually. Ha-yeon is the boss, and they are just followers."

Sung JiHan erased Wangrin's name from the list.

"Even if he offers to pay 10 times more, don't accept it."

"Yes!"

"And when that man comes, just kick him out right away. Don't bother dealing with him individually. Ha-yeon is the boss, and they are just followers."

"Yes, from now on, I'll do that right away!"

When Sung JiHan organized the traffic like that, Iha Yeon's eyes sparkled.

As expected of the number one guild in China, he didn't care at all.

I should follow that stance.

"Well then, I guess I don't need a vacation!"

"You should take a vacation. People need to rest a bit."

"No, I want to personally drive them away. Hehe..."

Perhaps because she had been stressed by Jang SeungChong all this time.

Iha Yeon smiled at the corner of her mouth.

And the next day.

"W-What are you doing, Guild Master? Chasing away someone like me who came as a representative of the People's Council...!"

"The list has been announced. So please don't come anymore."

"H-How dare you ignore the proposal of our People's Council, a guild from Korea?"

"Yes, I'm ignoring it."

In addition to Im GaYoung, Iha Yeon called several bodyguards.

She immediately issued an order to expel Jang SeungChong.

"Especially if it's someone from another People's Council, I have no intention of negotiating with you, Jang SeungChong. How many times do I have to go through people? Did you even harass GaYoung?"

"Cough...! When did I do that...!"

"You looked at GaYoung and said let's go to the hotel, didn't you?"

He coughed in response to Iha Yeon's remark and looked around.

The situation where the large bodyguards were all staring at him.

He seemed to have no intention of negotiating at all.

"...You will regret it."

In the end, he uttered only those words in a depressed state and left the waiting guild.

"Ah, that old man finally left."

"He said we would regret it. What do you think he's going to do?"

"I don't know, but let's do whatever we can."

As Iha Yeon returned to the guild master's office, she spun the mouse wheel with a satisfied face.

"As you said, Gab is here."

[Participation list for the Chaos Battlefield, confirmed!]

"Did they choose based on the gift grade? The 20 people selected by Sung JiHan are all outstanding promising players."

"Including Balan, who had trouble with Sung JiHan, the list is considered fair and impartial."

"Why was the SSS-grade Wang Lin excluded? Chinese netizens are strongly protesting against Sung JiHan!"

-Well, who are the ones who left first and why are they trying to come in? LOL

-For real, did Sung JiHan do such a ridiculous thing to find out if he's from the Mu Gong or Sa Gong faction?

-And the Chinese guys, they were just saying that Sung JiHan should be disqualified from representing the Chinese team along with Japan.

-So, LOL, they put it out there and said "pick us"...

Announcement of the Chaos Battlefield list.

While the World Battle Net Federation recruited warriors and supporters with levels close to 200.

The 20 people Sung JiHan chose were all promising players who were well-known names among Battle Net fans.

In addition to being from the Waiting Guild.

Players who were selected based on their gift grade, future pillars.

Looking at the list alone, it definitely felt like they were chosen purely based on their abilities, and it was fair.

Except for one person.

There was a lot of talk about excluding Wang Lin, one of the top promising players.

-Sung JiHan shouldn't do this if he's thinking about humanity. He should give everyone a fair chance!

-Is he already trying to restrain Wang Lin's talent? Banz is really narrow-minded.

-Does it make sense to replace Wang Lin with an SS-grade gift?

-Sung JiHan, apologize quickly and revise the list!

Especially the Chinese, following Sung JiHan and the battle tube of the Daegi Guild.

They started to come into Yoon Se-ah's battle tube and leave all sorts of malicious comments.

- Ah, why are Chinese people so shameless? LOL

- Do you think we would vote for someone like you?

- And choosing the roster is up to Sung JiHan, why do they think they can dictate everything?

And then, Korean people started to reply in opposition.

A war broke out in the internet world.

But Sung JiHan.

"Here we go again."

After skimming through the protest comments, he immediately turned a blind eye.

Now that the team was fully formed, he only had one thought in mind: to clear the battlefield of chaos.

The expedition team began to coordinate in the virtual training space provided by the World Battle Net Federation.

Meanwhile.

In the People's Congress meeting room.

"Why... why didn't it work?"

Wang Lin entered the meeting room with a disappointed expression.

Then, Zhang Sichong, who was the main negotiator, defended his failure with a cough.

"Ahem! Those people were shameless. They chased me out, the representative of the People's Congress!"

"Huh, the Korean guild tried to treat us like that..."

"They are so arrogant."

Believing Zhang Sichong's words, they criticized the Daegi Guild.

They started to use all means to secure a position for Wang Lin, the top talent in China.

"Wang Lin's position. Instead of the Chinese player selected by the World Battle Net Federation, can't we put him in?"

"We have set a level restriction in the federation, so that is impossible. Unless Wang Lin reaches level 180..."

"Well, before that, let's finish the battlefield of chaos."

It was impossible for Wang Lin, who had recently been promoted, to reach level 180.

Zhang Sichong listened to the conversation and then opened his mouth with a meaningful expression.

"How many of our players have been selected?"

"About 60."

"Then... let's make them intentionally fail..."

"What...?"

"Until Wang Lin is selected, let's intentionally lose."

Didn't he say he would make the Daegi Guild regret it?

Zhang Sichong proposed such a dangerous gamble.

"With 60 people, we can easily ruin the game. We can ask them to put in Wang Lin while intentionally losing."

"Hmm..."

"Isn't it too risky?"

"Yes. If this is revealed, we will face criticism from around the world."

"Then, are you willing to be in this situation? We have to show them our true colors."

Being chased away by Yi Ha-yeon was so embarrassing.

Zhang Sichong strongly advocated for intentional losses.

Wang Lin frowned as he listened from the side.

"This doesn't seem possible..."

Knowing Sung JiHan's personality, he wouldn't just let that happen...

"Well... then let's try somewhere else."

"Yes. We can't just let this happen!"

But the People's Congress, which already had a tough personality.

Thinking that their representative had been humiliated by the Daegi Guild, they decided to pursue an absurd method.

Wang Lin had an anxious expression.

"It's over..."

He could only watch this unfold.
