The problem was that Jung Daesik’s greed didn’t stop there.

He was contemplating whether there was any way to fully arm them with his magical powers like entropy.

He said, ‘You can make your troops stronger by purchasing items, enchanting them, and constantly preparing new weapons and equipment. But it costs a lot of money. The price of a weapon made of mysterious metal is truly astronomical. In fact, even if you try to save it, you can’t. Because the full body armor made of adamantium or mithril is equivalent to the SS level just by the value of the material.

If you can afford it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to arm yourself with such an item… but ultimately you have to put my magic on it. Then, of course, the performance of the weapon will go up even more, and I can do a multifaceted attack as I mean it.’

A group of hunters who deal with monsters, including raids, have their own positions.

It is divided into tanks, dealers, buffers, healers, etc. according to the characteristics and direction of their abilities.

However, the higher the grade, the greater the experience, the more various positions were to be covered.

No matter how good a tank is, if it can only defend and can’t attack, it’s like half a tank.

Of course, it is better to be good at at least one than to have a clumsy defense and a clumsy attack.

But what if you can do both?

It would be perfect.

The reason Jung Daesik was in the spotlight as a duelist and tripleist in the first place was because of the advantage of being able to play multiple positions at once.

It was for the same reason that Kang Young-hoo selected only those who were capable of multiple positions and formed the Foreign Legion.

That is what Jung Daesik was aiming for.

If each member of the Fenrir unit has the ability similar to an all-in-one, the unit or raid that Jung Daesik will create in the future will be the strongest in the world.

For that to happen, the form of ability must not be fixed.

However, even if there is nothing impossible with intellect, it is impossible for each member of the unit to become multi-talented by crushing their innate individuality.

Another form of fluidity was needed to make each position an all-rounder that could be digested while maintaining their individual characteristics.

Jung Daesik thought that the case of raising entropy as an ego weapon could be the answer.

‘No matter what kind of weapons the troops have, if they are implemented, changed, released, or manipulated by putting my magic on top of them, various types of attack and defense will be possible. It means that depending on the direction in which I am giving magic power, the members of the unit can become all tanks or all dealers. Alternatively, they can fight while defending their positions.’

To do that, it required vast amount of magical power and a high level of skill to arm all of its members.

Of course, you would have to have a lot of money to have that kind of ability.

In addition, Jung Daesik wanted to set aside an emergency fund for emergencies.

In an urgent situation, there should not be another situation such as not being able to acquire new skills because of lack of money or not being able to upgrade skills.

‘My problem was money in the past, money in the present, and money in the future seems highly likely.’

Jung Daesik suppressed a deep sigh.

But then, a call came from the engineering commander.

He was briefly prompted to come up to his office and Jung Daesik stood up.

‘What’s going on?’Jung Daesik moved and went up to Kang Young-hoo’s office.

There, Kang Yeong-hoo had the car ready in advance and was waiting.

“Um, are you here? Sit here.”

Jung Daesik, who sat across from Kang Young-hoo, immediately asked about the business.

“What’s going on?”

“Looking at the skill level of the Fenrir troops, it was really surprising. To see that everyone’s rank went up in a month… I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but the Titan Raid bulletin board is noisy with that story.”

“Is that so?”

Jung Daesik shrugged it off.

The uproar that occurred on the bulletin board had already been heard through entropy.

Anonymous bulletin boards were completely devoid of hives.

From writings lamenting that he would have volunteered for the Fenrir unit if he had known this, to suspicious writings that Jung Daesik was using illegal potions.

There were all kinds of stories.

Jung Daesik was secretly enjoying this situation because he was rejected by Solji Park once when selecting Fenrir troops, and there weren’t too many applicants in the troop selection process.

That seemed to be the case with the Fenrir troops as well.

In particular, in the case of Ki Cheol-min, who had suffered death and joined the Fenrir unit, when he entered the headquarters building, his gaze was different.

There were some members who sarcastic about Ki Cheol-min trying to join the Fenrir unit with all his might.

Thanks to Kim Tae-hee’s declaration of surrender, there were even openly sarcastic sarcasms, such as whether they had no pride in joining the Fenrir unit.

However, in the end, Ki Cheol-min made the right choice, so the words that despised him had disappeared.

Everyone looked at him with envy when he passed by, or avoided the look of shame, so he arrogantly raised his chin and walked around with sarcasm.

In any case, all of these achievements are the result of all the Fenrir troops sacrificing their time and money and working hard.

Jung Daesik said proudly because it was a proud achievement without a single bit of dishonesty.

“It’s thanks to everyone who worked hard so as not to go against the expectations of the Chief of Engineering.”

“okay…….”

Jung Daesik thought Kang Young-hoo would ask how he made the Fenrir troops strong.

Then he was just going to reply that it was possible with another ability he had acquired.

If he was asked if he could do the same for other members of the unit, he was ready to say no.

What Jung Daesik could cover was limited to the Fenrir troops he was determined to lead to the end.

Jung Daesik isn’t even the commander of the titan raid, and he can’t lead the entire titan raid.

As if trying to see through his heart, Kang Yeong-hoo did not ask the question.

Instead, he said something else.

“Hey, are you all-in-one?”

It was a slightly different story than I had expected, but I expected that the word would come out soon.

Jung Daesik nodded his head calmly.

“That’s right.”

“That’s right. So I guess I could make the Fenrir troops stronger.”

“Yes.”

Kang Young-hoo raised the corner of his lips slightly.

“This, I’m in trouble. It’s been a while since I wrote a new contract, are you planning on writing it again?”

Last time he was promoted to lieutenant general, Jung Daesik rewrote his contract with the Titans.

From the same conditions as the other commanders receive, to the tax exemption from Jung Daesik and additional conditions for the possibility of an all-in-one.

He readjusted everything and negotiated a new contract.

However, it wasn’t long before Jung Daesik became an all-in-one, so for Kang Young-hoo, he had no choice but to bring up the story of the contract renewal even as a courtesy.

But Jung Daesik dismissed those worries.

“No. It doesn’t matter if the terms of the contract remain the same.”

“okay?”

“But, there is one thing I want to ask you.”

“Is that something?”

“If I create a raid in the future, please allow me to take the Fenrir troops out. That is, to guarantee the independence of the Fenrir troops in the future.”

Kang Yeong-hoo nodded his head meekly without any resistance.

It was as if Jung Daesik would have expected such a word.

“It’s a talent you’ve developed with your own abilities, so you should take it with you. There’s no objection to that. As long as the prerequisites for getting the support of the Titan Raid are valid.”

“That part will be fine.”

“Okay. Then there’s nothing I can do about it.”

It seems that the story is over with this, but Kang Young-hoo dragged his time by rubbing his clasped hands.

Jung Daesik waited without urging because he wanted to say something difficult to say.

About the time I sip my tea because I couldn’t wait, Kang Young-hoo finally opened his mouth.

“Choi-hee, no. How about Kim Tae-hee?”

“Yes?”

Kang Young-hoo said with a frown on his forehead.

“You know what Kim Tae-hee’s purpose was to join the Fenrir unit.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“Do you think he’ll be able to fulfill that purpose?”

“If that’s all-in-one…”

Jung Daesik tried to answer that it was impossible.

Then he recently remembered what he was envisioning.

He puts on his own magical power, making it all-weather.

Maybe it’s closer to an all-in-one.

If so, it might be possible to satisfy Choi-hee’s wish, so Jung Daesik paused for a moment and then said cautiously.

“I can’t give you a definitive answer, but it may be possible in a similar way.”

Then Kang Young-hoo made a very strange expression.

She seemed to be happy that Choi Hee’s wish could come true, but she also seemed to be saddened.

Kang Young-hoo hurriedly hid the expression of the mixed emotions.

As soon as she returned to her usual expressionless look, he loosened the clasps he had placed on her lap and said.

“She’s good for her, okay. See you.”

“then…….”

Jung Daesik nodded his head and got up and left the office.

As he climbed the elevator, he reflected on his thoughts, and he felt that there was something between Kang Young-hoo and Choi Hee.

I don’t know how Choi Hee’s side is, but at least Kang Young-hoo’s side…

Jung Daesik thought casually.

‘Rivals?’

Jung Daesik was taken aback when he remembered the word and shook his head when there was no one there.

‘What an absurd idea. The commander-in-chief is a rival. It can’t be! At first, I had no feelings for Choi Hee. If you have feelings, rather…’

Jung Daesik came up with the best face without realizing it.

But when I think of her, she couldn’t think of Choi Hee as separate from her.

The two were sisters and seemed to be more closely related than normal sisters.

Choi Seon-eun seemed to have complicated feelings for Choi-hee, but it seemed to show the closeness of the two women.

Jung Daesik forced his dizzy heart.

‘Now is not the time to be indifferent to whoever the opponent is. The best thing to do is just to get to know a colleague, nothing less, nothing more. Choi Hee is also just Kim Tae-hee, a member of the Fenrir unit to me now. All she wants from me is to be strong.’

Jung Daesik saw the right time and decided to tell Kim Tae-hee his idea.

Then, how she would react, she was very much looking forward to it.

At least she won’t hate it.

Jung Daesik smiled involuntarily, thinking she would be very happy.

Jung Daesik, on his way home from work, took the elevator down to the underground parking lot when he heard the phone ring.
