The top floor of the Phoenix Guild headquarters was originally an ordinary office, but it had been decorated so much that it now looked more like a penthouse .

It was so enchanting, that fantasizing that it could be their home was one of the guilty pleasures of all those who managed to enter it .

However, the expression on the face of the owner of said penthouse was anything but happy .

“So you failed?”

As he said this, Park Yong-wan stared at Kim Woo-jin who was standing in front of him .

His eyes, colder than ever .

Any ordinary person would be terrified by the sight .

This player, Park Yong-wan, was already a monster that could not be dealt with using modern weapons .

“Didn’t I order you to pass somehow?”

“Sorry . ”

So it was only natural for Kim Woo-jin to bow his head to him .

However, Park Yong-wan frowned when he saw this .

“If it weren’t for the fact that you were the one who advised me to invest in Isaac Ivanov, I would not have even bothered to see your face . ”

“Sorry . ”

“I don’t want your apologies, let me hear your excuses . You didn’t even prepare an excuse, did you?”

Only then did Kim Woo-jin lift his head and start speaking .

“He recognized the power of my poison . But he criticized my lack of versatility . ”

“Is that your only excuse?”

“I was asked if I could help when I was needed . ”

When he heard those words, Park Yong-wan relaxed a little .

“So that means he’s keeping you as an option?”

“Yes . ”

Park Yong-wan’s expression also softened a bit .

‘So it’s not that he’s not interested . ’

To be honest, when Park Yong-wan first heard that Kim Woo-jin had failed to join Isaac Ivanov’s party, he’d wondered what to do with him .

Whether to throw him away, give him to someone else, or sell his services .

“Hmm . ”

However, now that he’d heard the whole situation, it seemed that Isaac Ivanov did not completely give up on Kim Woo-jin .

“A sub…”

As he’d said before, Isaac Ivanov was willing to take Kim Woo-jin if it was necessary .

This meant that although he wasn’t in the first group, he was still treated as though he was in the second group .

In other words, this meant that if he could show something more, it was possible for him to join the first group .

‘What should I do?’

Of course, Park Yong-wan did not intend to start investing more in Kim Woo-jin for just that reason .

Park Yong-wan was the type of person who would not hesitate to get rid of something or someone after they had become useless .

At least, that was what the type of person that the Park Yong-wan, that Kim Woo-jin knew, was .

A human being who made decisions based only on his own interests without hesitation .

It was for this very same reason that he had been able to sell his country without hesitation .

“It seems that Isaac Ivanov is likely to…”

So Kim Woo-jin pulled out another card that he’d prepared .

“…leave his current guild . ”

“What?”

And Park Yong-wan’s expression changed completely due to how shocking this card was .

“What are you talking about?”

“I heard him mention the addition of tanks and wizards during conversations he had with his teammate in Russian . Their conversation was about needing a new tank and about needing more firepower . ”

“They want to recruit more party members?”

“As far as I can tell, they don’t intend to get any support from the Mokosh Guild that they’re a part of . That’s no different from leaving the guild isn’t it?”

At that moment, Park Yong-wan began doing calculations in his head .

‘This…’

Isaac Ivanov’s value had grown beyond description, so many guilds were coveting him at this point .

No, it was more than simply coveting, they were willing to pay a tremendous price just to get the name Isaac Ivanov associated with their guilds .

How much would it be worth if they got a chance to recruit Isaac Ivanov?

But Park Yong-wan soon shook his head .

‘No, Isaac Ivanov is unlikely to move to another guild . Otherwise, he would have done so by now . ’

When you look at his past actions and the progress that he’d made, the chances of Isaac Ivanov joining another guild were extremely low .

‘He won’t leave his guild . Instead, after forming his own party, it’s highly likely that he’ll keep acting the same way . ’

It was highly likely that Isaac Ivanov would continue attacking dungeons as a party together with other guilds .

At least, that’s what Park Yong-wan thought .

‘That’s why he tested Kim Woo-jin . ’

Furthermore, he could now understand why Isaac Ivanov was interested in Kim Woo-jin .

‘Right, he’s preparing to enter 4 Floor dungeons . In 4 Floor dungeons, there are a lot of monsters who can’t be handled with just physical force . ’

When he reached this conclusion, Kim Woo-jin’s value in Park Yong-wan’s mind increased a little .

“If you have one more chance, are you confident that you can pass?”

Kim Woo-jin responded to his question without hesitation .

“It is absolutely impossible for me right now . ”

“And when you level up?”

“It’s not something that kind of problem . Isaac Ivanov’s strength is on a different level compared to mine . It’s not something I can reach simply by leveling up . ”

“What if you had better items?”

“If you have such items then it would be better to just give them to Isaac Ivanov . ” (TL: hehe)

Park Yong-wan nodded at the cold yet rational answer .

‘He understands the situation well . ’

If Kim Woo-jin had declared that he could do it with poor determination, then Park Yong-wan would have abandoned him immediately .

However, even at such a time, Kim Woo-jin was able to make a cool calculation .

He had tried to figure out just why he failed to pass the qualification test .

“Then what do you think?”

This meant that he must know how to pass .

“It’s true that my poison adds to Isaac Ivanov’s ability . But he wants more than that . He doesn’t want one plus one to equal two . He wants a synergy that makes it become three . ”

Park Yong-wan smiled at his words .

‘It seems that I am quite lucky . ’ (TL:…you forgot the ‘un’)

With that smile on his face, Park Yong-wan picked up an envelope from the desk in front of him .

“This was supposed to be your reward when you passed . ”

From it, he pulled out a golden skill page .

[Corpse Poison(屍毒)]

– Condition: Emissary of the Underworld

– Required Level: Level 70 or above

– Effect: Quickly decompose a corpse to create poison . The higher the skill rank, the stronger the corpse poison, and the faster it’s created .

It was a unique skill, Corpse Poison .

“This is an advanced payment . ”

Park Yong-wan handed the page to Kim Woo-jin as he said .

“You must pass . There is no other option . ”

However, Kim Woo-jin did not take the skill page but instead asked a question .

“But how are you going to get a chance from Isaac Ivanov?”

“That’s what I need to worry about, you just focus on what you need to do . ”

These words were basically the last notice .

Only then did Kim Woo-jin stop asking questions .

“I will change Isaac Ivanov’s mind somehow . ”

He then accepted the skill page with overflowing determination .
