There were three main types of services that brokers offered.
They introduced illegal dungeons, traded stolen goods, or helped with money laundering.
Among these, the most common transaction was fencing goods from illegal dungeons.
Trading stolen goods and money laundering weren't easy to do for an average person but it was possible for anybody to find a dungeon.
Furthermore, finding a dungeon wasn't difficult to do. Unlike searching for pine mushrooms or truffles, you did not need skilled professionals to identify them. Finding a dungeon that could be traded for money like the ones with trolls all depended on luck.
The problem laid in defending the dungeon after it was found.
Let's just say that a newbie broker who entered the dungeon business managed to find a good dungeon.
Then, in order to sell that dungeon, let's say the broker disclosed the existence of the dungeon to potential buyers.
Would they fiercely compete with one and another to get the dungeon?
Or would they go to the broker who doesn't have much of a background and use an inexpensive tool like a punch to rob them?
Nevertheless, dungeons were never a simple treasure chest.
It was more like a bomb that monsters could break out from at any time.
'He is not an ordinary broker.'
The moment Kim Woo-jin checked the types of dungeon Oh Se-chan possessed, Kim Woo-jin realized Oh Se-chan was not a normal person.
It was Oh Se-chan's 2 floor A-rank dungeon that caught Kim Woo-jin's attention more than the others.
[Albino Lizard's Egg]
Hobgoblin Cave dungeon.
After failing to clear the same dungeon twice in a row, the Phoenix Guild opened up the dungeon to players from the other guilds.
And now, 19 people were gathered.
Players who have never met each other were gathered at one spot.
Of course, self-introductions began.
"I will warn you guys beforehand, if you interfere with our hunt, I'll just kill you so crawl around on your own."
"Spouting bullshit."
"What? What's your level, you son of a bitch?"
"Why? Are you going to look away like nothing happened if I'm higher level than you? Huh?" "Both of you shut up. My fucking head already hurts cause I drank too much."
Self-introduction that couldn't be more perfect.
"Hey! Let's have a fight once we are in the dungeon!"
"Instead, why don't we turn on the private broadcast here and fight right now? How about it?"
They even looked impatient to show off each other's skills.
Of course, Kim Woo-jin didn't pay much attention to this scene.
His eyes were focused on the profiles of each player he received from the dungeon support team. Frankly, none of their profiles were great.
No special dungeons cleared, no experience clearing dungeons alone, nor experience clearing high rank dungeons.
'They're a bunch of nuisances.'
Instead, they often had criminal records.
Drunk driving was a norm, speeding was an everyday occurrence, and there were even players who were suspended for attempted rape.
If not for the fact that they were players, they wouldn't even be here; they would have been in prison.
'They are the types of people that guilds won't really care about even if they died.'
Needless to say, if these players died in the middle of a dungeon, their guilds wouldn't put much effort into investigating the reason for their deaths.
When he came to such a conclusion, Kim Woo-jin's eyes turned to 3 players in a corner.
'Skull Guild.'
There were 3 players from the Skull Guild.
They also had no special record.
'They've often done this kind of dungeon.'
If the fact that they usually cleared the dungeons that were opened in this way was special, their record would be very special.
That was all.
After all, the really important information, such as the legendary items owned by a player or the fact that a player returned to the past from the future with a vast amount of experience and knowledge intact, would never be recorded.
'They're player hunters.'
The number of players who died to player hunters in a cleared dungeon would never be recorded.
Still, Kim Woo-jin was certain.
'I'm sure their target is me.'
That those three players were after him.
There was no need to think into it too deeply.
The Skull Guild must have been overturned by the Orc Champion dungeon.
After that, they would have felt the need to investigate what happened and deal with the unknown variables.
During that time, if they had a chance to take part in a dungeon with Kim Woo-jin, who had participated in the dungeon, it was only natural for them to take the opportunity.
'It must have been Park Yong-wan who handed out the rice cake.'
Furthermore, he was certain Park Yong-wan was the one who had set this up.
Jeong Woo-sik, the head of the support team, must have been pressured by Park Yong-wan to put Kim Woo-jin in such a dungeon.
To lure the Skull Guild, he used Kim Woo-jin as bait to create the stage.
'That traitor must have gotten some evidence.'
In other words, Park Yong-wan has begun to question the Skull Guild in earnest.
That was why Kim Woo-jin was here.
"We will be entering the dungeon!"
And it was also why Kim Woo-jin went into the dungeon without any hesitation.
