13 Reeled in
The cameraman zoomed in, unwilling to miss a single expression on Zion's face.
[ OppaJJang : Oh ! the beauty attack ! ]
[ OppaJJang has donated 20 dollars to the stream. ]
Twelve Inches thanked her for the donation in his stream. Unfortunately, the beauty-loving girls or just any girls at all are not watching him at all. They were all focused on Zion's stream.
" I will establish a guild myself. I will accept all the dungeon babies in the world. They can all join my guild. " Zion said, his voice full of passion.
The first part was something he had decided before joining the stream. He thought the stream would make the best advertising space. However, after getting beaten up this badly just for one extra word on his awakening certificate, Zion wanted to do something to comfort himself, and all others who were in the same position as himself.
The cameraman was too shocked to say anything.
' How does this guys' brain circuit work is written all over his face. '
[ HunterJobHunter : this .. why didn't I think of this ? ]
[ HunterJobHunter : Because it needs a damned ten thousand dollars deposit ! ]
[ BeastBoss : Really ? ]
[ ValentinaChemstone : Hey ! He has ten grand in deposit ! Remember ! Payment upfront. ]
[ xxxLoveHenttttt_ai : damn ! ]
[ BeastBoss : Burn !!!! ]
[ Army_chief : The irony ! ]
[ Melanchololly : I love this drama ! This is the best reverse burn I have seen on live in a while. ]
[ Melanchololly donated 20 dollars to the stream. ]
[ HunterJobHunter : Hey ! If you really open a guild, I will definitely join. ]
[ HunterNotAJobHunter : Hey ! If you really open a guild, I will resign my job and join your guild. ]
[ HunterNotAJobHunter : I will even donate a grand if you really open it. ]
[ GuildViceP : Deposit is only the beginning of the tasks you need to do. There are a thousand other things needed for this to go through.]
[ HunterHigh_2304 : What else is needed other than money ? ]
[ BillaVillia : You need to sign over at least two vanquishing dungeons to yourself and maintain them regularly. ]
[ BillaVilla : Not just that. You also need to take over however many monster gates without drops, and kill the monsters in them regularly. ]
[ BillaVilla : if you don't do that, then you need to donate for the clearing. In the end, the total cost will be more than five hundred grand. ]
[ GuildViceP : We pay about seven hundred grand, because our numbers are high. ]
[ GuildViceP : The cost is not fixed. So, this is an increasing bill with each year. ]
[ OppaJJang : So, my husband will die if he goes to clear these dungeons by himself ? ]
" Lets go. " Zion said, and started walking towards the awakened association office.
[ You know that establishing a guild costs a lot of money, right ? ] The cameraman asked him.
" We will find it once we go to the office. "Zion answered.
' Zion, I am entering the dungeon now. It's E-54. Just so you know. See you later. ' Cerise's voice rang in his head just as he started walking.
' Promise me you will come back alive. ' Zion said almost instinctively. ' Damn ! That's a death flag. I shouldn't have said that. ', he regretted immediately.
' Okay. ' Cerise answered. She immediately entered the dungeon.
Then, there was a sudden hollow feeling all of a sudden… it passed away in a moment. Zion felt like he was losing a part of himself. It is only after a long time has passed that Zion realized this feeling had been a clue, not an emotional response.
' Gods ! It's gonna be awful if it feels like this every time. ' Zion thought.
He shuddered all over like a dancing balloon to remove the feeling.
They arrived at the association in no time at all.
" Hello. I am here to establish a guild. " Zion answered.
" Please take the token, wait for the guild management office. " the receptionist said, giving him a token.
" Sure. Thank you . " Zion answered, receiving the token.
The moment he found a place to sit down, the guild management officer was already down and looking for him.
The officer's eyes with burning passion turned off the moment he saw Zion.
He walked to Zion.
" Good Morning, Mr. Zion. I hear you want to establish a guild. This usually takes ten grand in deposit. I hope you have the cash or card ready. If not, I can wait for you to go home and pick it up. " the officer told him.
" I have a card sir. " Zion answered respectfully.
" Are you sure ? " The officer asked, the flames slowly re-igniting in his eyes.
" Yes. " Zion answered.
" Ah. ! Actually, currently I am doing a live stream. Is it alright to film the process, if you don't mind ? " Zion asked.
" Usually, it is not. But I will make an exception for Mr. Zion. However, you can only film the guild management office, so I have to ask you to turn off your camera here. Submit it for security inspection. The camera operator can follow me to my office along with you, the camera will be sent to the office. " The officer explained quite detailedly.
" Oh! The security already confiscated the camera. It's the one in the green bag with a bobbing sunflower on it. " Zion explained.
" Ah ! there's a baggage inspection token. " The camera man pulled out the token from his pocket.
" Good. I will ask the security to drop it off with us. " The officer answered.
He made a call, and talked with quite passionately, while Zion and the cameraman wiggled their eyebrows at each other. Finally, it seems the security agreed.
" Now, let's go to my office. " The guild officer proposed.
They walked over to the room. The officer sat them down, even poured them coffee. While he was doing that, Zion studied the poster that's pasted behind the man.
' Guild management system ' The perfect medium to connect your government and you.
' Open a guild with GMS, never worry about filing taxes in your life. '
' Open a guild with GMS, Never spend money on management. '
There are a lot of posters and all of them are promoting the guild management system.
" First, let me help you with the establishment of the guild. There are few things you need to know before opening a guild. The deposit is non-refundable. However, worry not. The government will provide more than equal amounts of services for this money. First, you will get an office in a commercial district that you can use for free for the coming three years. You will get at least two gates that you can operate on your own. On top of that, you get guild management service software for free, which would otherwise cost you more than a million. Currently, there is no employee management software in the world that is better than guild management service. If that's not enough, you will need to pay no taxes or file taxes at the end of the year, for that is all done through the software itself. " The government official laid it on thick.
Zion became happier with each sentence the officer uttered.
" So, you are telling me, the guild members can be approved online based on a condition, and they could get their guild cards at the awakened office directly ? " Zion asked.
" Yes " the officer answered.
" My guild can be global, open to almost all the countries in the united nations, without any additional cost ? "
" Yes "
" I even have a live broadcast platform which can get paid in the currencies of all different countries ? "
" yes. "
" Sign me up. Make it global. Make it available to everyone. As long as a person is a dungeon baby, they can join the guild. I don't care whether they are saints or criminals. Anyone can join as long as they are a dungeon baby. However, the other hunters need to drop an application which will get approved case by case basis. " Zion said.
" That's your only condition, sir ? " The officer asked.
" Yes. " Zion answered.
" I understand. What would you like to name your guild ? " The officer asked after setting up all the options.
" DungeonDarling Association. " Zion answered.
If the officer was shocked, he did not show it at all.
" This would be the time to pay the deposit. Are you sure you want to go ahead ? " The officer asked once more, his eyes full of anticipation.
" Yes. A man never goes back on his word. " Zion answered, as he handed his card.
The money was debited, and he became a guild master.
" Congratulations, Guild Master Zion Sheng. " The officer congratulated him.
" Can I post the link to the viewers now ? " Zion asked, looking at the guild's home page link he received in the messages.
" Yes, you can. " The officer let them be happy at the rising numbers of members. For now, he has already completed his most basic target of establishing at least one guild, so he is relieved. He can keep his job.
After Zion calmed down a little, he began the introduction to all the 'cons' that stopped people from going for this kind of management system in the first place.
" Now, I will inform you of your duties, Mr. Zion. First, you need to maintain at least one vanquishing dungeon under your name. You will bear the comprehensive responsibility for a dungeon break in any of the dungeons that belong to you. That means you have both legal and financial responsibility. Also, vanquishing dungeons, and the stray dungeons in the city are usually distributed equally among all the guilds under GMS in the city. Since you are the only guild under GMS in Sicuate, you are responsible for all of them. " The manager finished the explanation.
It's only then Zion understood that the government was fishing for free labor, and he was reeled in.
