Hoarding in Hell Novel

"It's America."

Helen pondered Lee Seo-yeon's words and fell into her thoughts.

She is the closest to a representative of the Starving Stars.

The Starving Star had yet to have a representative, but few doubted that Helen was the representative of the clan. And a lot of things happened before she got there.

"Lee Seo-yeon, do you know where the starving star gets its power?"

"It draws its strength from a great desire that cannot be satisfied."

Therefore, the starving star is the most powerful star in modern capitalist civilized society. In fact, they exercised considerable influence in South China and elsewhere.

"Yes. Of course, in the United States, the country with the most desire in the world, it would be right if our starving family members prevailed."

But there was no starving star in America. Even if there were some family members, it was very weak.

"It's amazing when you consider the desire and greed they have. The US isn't as good as China, though."

It was ironic that China, a communist country, was full of greed.

"And as far as I know, there are very few stars that have taken root in the United States other than us. It's almost disinfecting. There is a suspicion that a conquering star appeared in Iraq, but now it's hard to find any traces of it. But you say As it is, there is a high probability that there must be something to keep the stars in check."

"Yeah. Because of that, it is assumed that it is the base of a group called the Alliance, racing for the best future."

“…Lee Seo-yeon, this is not normal.”

Helen leaned forward with a serious expression on her body.

"I said that Lee Ji-tae belongs to the family of a leading star. That star is also a very powerful star. You can't be vigilant about the broken star. In addition, the allies you found out, whether strong or weak, are serving their respective stars. What does this mean? Ana?"

Seo-yeon Lee nodded her head, but she didn't answer.

Helen wasn't really asking anyway. She is just a monologue to Helen to organize her thoughts on her own.

"The 'teacher' of the alliance is making his subordinates to give up victory on their own. It means that they entrust all their futures to the teacher, even giving up their own faith and life. It's impossible. What is the future that you believe is more right than that?"

"I know that the alliance is not a group that has such a strong binding force."

"So it's even weirder."

Helen said with a frown on her face.

"I can't make such a loose organization with such strong secrecy and belief. I don't know how they got it back. I'm missing something. With Kang Hyunmoo and the alliance, it feels like something... is out of line."

What allies do is say, 'Why are we fighting? The problem is the ball. If there is no ball, there is no need to fight,' and it's like getting rid of the soccer ball.

This is just absurd for players who can only earn money or careers by winning games.

The problem is that there are not many people who assimilate with the teacher's beliefs.

Professor Maria Keller of Chrome has a similar philosophy.

But she's only stopping the game from progressing by a powerful individual named Adam Poltra. It does not have the power to seize the constellations of the stars.

That doesn't mean you can't have Adam Fort devour all the stars. If that happens, Adam Fort will be the only person left in the world.

Because of this, Helen highly valued Adam Fort's personal strength, but she was not very wary.

"For now, I'll have to monitor the US as much as possible. Well done, Seo-yeon Lee. For now, focus on raising your own power rather than other missions. I'm also interested in your growth. Maybe I can become an apostle in the shortest time among our family There may be, but there are still a lot of empty seats."

Seo-yeon Lee hid her secret feelings and bowed her head with a smile. Helen smiled as well.

This is what she says, but it doesn't mean that both parties don't trust each other anyway.

The one who takes advantage of each other, eats and eats, and hits the back of the head at the most appropriate time will survive.Helen saw that Seo-yeon Lee was still useful and did not pose a threat, and Seo-yeon Lee thought to increase her strength as much as possible by walking the tightrope between Helen and Kang Hyunmoo.

She said, "The day I become an agent, I'll definitely have you by my side."

"I just don't know what to do with this great grace."

The two exchanged greetings that were not even in their hearts and promised a future day.

***

Highlands near Barunurt in southeastern Mongolia.

It was a quiet and open grassland area where a single wind suddenly came, but not as much as it is today.

The gray-haired wolves were running fast.

The smell of humans was coming from the direction they were pursuing.

The wolves have lost their appetite. It's been more than two days since I last drank blood.

Seeing that there is not a lot of smell coming from it, I felt like I was going to devour it after a long time.

Eventually, they arrived at their destination, but there was no human form to be seen. It seemed like it had recently moved.

Just as the boss wolf was about to re-order the chase, gunfire erupted from somewhere.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

The eyes of the wolves turned to the direction the gunfire erupted. Suddenly, a huge explosion struck their place.

The body of the wolves jumped up in the explosion, but the boss wolf was not surprised. The gnome transformed his body in an instant and let out a roar.

"It's an army of men!"

The wolves were startled, but then smiled cruelly.

Artillery is meaningless to them. Their chief was an apostle of the roaring star, and the wolves were monsters.

The soldiers were nothing more than prey to them, who had already defeated countless remnants of the Mongolian army.

The head wolf howled first.

It was an attack signal.

However, the howling of the wolves did not continue. The head wolf realized only then that the wolves that were directly hit by the shelling were not getting up.

Soon came the wolves shattered in smoke and dust.

Whirrily Lirik-

In the distance, gunfire and the sound of shells falling could be heard. Soon a vivid purple warhead caught his eye.

***

The highlands, devastated by the bombardment, were dyed black.

The hunters were busily roaming around and even ended the orders of the werewolves who were barely putting their lives on the line.

Werewolves in perfect shape were hard to see. What the Hunters were doing was only the finishing touches.

"I don't know if you'll feel the effect enough."

And on the ruins, Kang Hyunmoo and buyers from all over the world were walking together.

Most of the buyers came from the North Chinese government, which had lost a lot of talented people.

Most of them were looking at the remains of the monsters with expressionless expressions.

As these were the people who visited to buy anti-monster weapons, most of them were talented or well-versed in dungeons.

I knew that Korea was leading the research on anti-monster weapons, but I didn't know that it had already succeeded in developing shells.

Of course, this was not an achievement achieved only by Do Won-kyung and Yu Min.

Difficulty: The finished product made by Hyunmoo in Hell was reverse engineered by merging D&W Industries, an item research facility, and Grimore Labs.

"About how many star monsters can you face?"

"I know it can inflict damage up to a 4 star. A 3 star can inflict a fatal wound, and a 1 or 2 star is a fatal blow."

Bullets have a limited range of damage. However, the bombardment can pierce any armor and cause additional confusion.

While the monsters were in chaos, the way the hunters entered and finished was the way to minimize damage and amplify the effect.

It is traditional, but because it is traditional, its effect is also guaranteed.

Buyers complained about higher performance than expected.

Werewolves are monsters that appear from at least 3 stars. But Hyunmoo showed how to finish them off with no damage. The effect was not exaggerated, but one problem remained.

"I saw the effect. Mr. Kang Hyunmoo. But the price is a little... burdensome. It is more than 10 times the price of an artillery support vehicle of the same class that is not for large monsters, but even the cost of shells is 50 times more..."

"As you know, the difficulty level has recently increased."

Hyunmoo cut him off and decided to encourage him a little.

"Everyone must have seen the monsters appearing from the sky tower start to form a group and achieve a national scale. Inside the dungeon, an organized defense facility is already being built."

If it is not simply a tribal level, but a state-to-state battle, an insignificant country may be annihilated.

It was a time when mankind had to view monsters not as industrial resources or experience, but as enemies of mankind.

"It is best to have a means to replace a capable person at a time when even one capable person is precious. Would you like to save a little money on that?"

Of course, to Hyunmoo, it was just a means of business.

The buyers looked lost in words.

As Hyunmoo said, it was not the time to save money. Since the Almighty Ryeona monopolized all production and sales anyway, it was inevitable to raise a budget, so we decided to haggle a little more to get one or two more.

“What is the defective rate? As long as the price is the price….”

"There are no defective products."

"Yes? But..."

It was then. Suddenly, a commotion spread among the hunters walking on the bombardment area.

"Aww!"

"Watch out, you boss!"

The apostle who served the Roaring Star, Bad Erden, struggled with a roaring pain. An unexploded cannonball was lodged deep in his eye.

As the giant claws razed the surrounding land, the hunters retreated in awe. At the moment when buyers wondered if they would panic, Hyunmoo disappeared on the spot.

Then, he appeared in front of the boss werewolf and kicked the shells in his eyes at once. Soon, the back of the werewolf's head shattered and disappeared with a loud roar that shook the earth's axis.

After wiping his feet roughly, Hyunmoo went back to the buyers. Then he said it again.

"There are no defective products."

"...no, just."

"There is not."

Buyers signed the purchase contract with a half trembling and half uneasy feeling.

From as little as three or four to as many as a hundred or so, the price was paid in various ways, including cash, bonds, real estate, and some treaties.***

After the buyers returned, Yu-min came to Hyunmoo.

"You worked hard. Oppa. It must have been difficult to run a business by yourself."

"Buyers like this when the president runs the business himself."

“It seems that the last part was similar to a strong sale, not sales.”

Yumin said as he looked around the devastated surrounding area.

"How about the contract I got from the North Chinese government? Did they just sign it?"

"Well, that's a matter of life at stake right now... You must have thought that it would be better to hand over a land full of monsters to us."

Unlike other countries, the North Chinese government did not receive a single penny of cash.

During the Pyongyang Restoration War, he had no intention of plundering any more because he ripped out a huge sum of money while selling magic bullets. However, this time it received a significant amount of territory in northeastern China.

Like most of Mongolia, it had been devastated by the tower, and North China had no power to restore it.

It was suggested by Hyunmoo, who had to just watch it fortified by monsters.

Permanent lease of land in Inner Mongolia including Manchuria to 'Kang Hyunmoo' under the condition of supply of magic bullets and hundreds of artillery support vehicles.

It was the last pride of China to use the expression 'permanent rental'.

Some decided that it would be better to sandwich Korea between the problematic Mongolia and China than to embrace a vast wasteland.

"But if that happens, the land in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region that was leased to 'Kang Hyunmoo' is much larger than Korea. Would you like to build a country?"

"No, I have to rent it out here and there again with the Korean government. Being the owner of the building is the best. It's one of the greatest hopes of the future for Koreans."

“…this is something different from the owner of the building, um…”

Yumin shook his head as if giving up on his thoughts.

“We also have to think about the Pyongyang issue. We tried to make ‘Demon King Kazat’ the worst evil in the world, but it’s ambiguous because we seem to be effectively blocking it…”

Pyongyang is currently a magical area that no one but Kang Hyunmoo can enter.

Although Hyunmoo brought his family from Difficulty: Hell with him, basically, because the fine dust of Difficulty: Hell was curled up, no one could get out of it when he entered.

But apart from that, as Hyunmoo is blocking the 'Demon King Kazat', other governments no longer see Pyongyang as a threat.

Since North Korea was an uninhabited land anyway, it is the same as now and then.

It just feels like trash being pushed under the carpet.

Hyunmoo laughed at Yumin's words.

"He has other thoughts. Kazat has other things to do, so he's busy."

Hyunmoo decided to call Ha-hyun and ask him about his recent situation.

Hyunmoo was constantly checking the situation in hell by calling in one of his household every day.

In some areas, there were clashes, and there were those who broke into the crossroads, but basically, they were more busy dealing with the most menacing forces than Hyunmoo.

But Hyunmoo couldn't keep his hands on the situation at all.

"Hahyun."

The gap in the space that summoned the family was torn. However, as time passed, Hahyun did not appear.

As soon as Hyunmoo was puzzled, he suddenly reached out his hand with difficulty. Hyunmoo quickly grabbed her hand.

But there was nothing behind it.

Hyunmoo had a hard expression on his face, raising Ha-hyun's hand, which was nothing under his elbow.
