All Stat Slayer

Chapter 46: (1): Season 1: Preparation

The first person to raise an issue was Kim Yeon-su.

He was one of the three vanguard team leaders who had visited Hyun-seok after the Cyclops’ slaying. Hyun-seok considered him to be a skilled Slayer and found him quite amusing. Despite his large and intimidating appearance, he had a remarkably innocent and naive side. Apart from his excuse of blushing and saying, “Because I was worried about my wife…” he could be regarded as an exceptional Slayer. Being the team leader of the previous team meant that he had a skill level close to the top in Korea.

However, he seemed to be someone who didn’t compromise in certain aspects. Kim Yeon-su firmly insisted on not compromising.

“We didn’t slay the Cyclops. We only pretended to interfere with the slaying, or rather hindered it, while being protected by the Platinum Slayer. We were merely under protection.”

The top-tier Slayers already knew this implicitly. At that time, except for Hyun-seok, none of the others had contributed to the slaying. On the contrary, the Platinum Slayer made slaying difficult by volunteering as the team leader to protect them. The determination of the 79 members was extraordinary, and their courage was remarkable. Although it was not appropriate to belittle them, the results were as such.

“Nevertheless, despite our efforts, we only gained a whopping 30 impossible achievement points, and we even had to divide the Red stone shares as 1/N. I don’t think this is right. I believe we should at least be grateful and give some compensation to the Platinum Slayer.”

His argument stirred up a storm in the Slayer community. There were already many discussions about the unfairness of the 1/N distribution for the reward issue that arose from slaying. In fact, some guilds had more systematically distributed the rewards among their members based on their contributions, such as using percentages.

However, it was Kim Yeon-su who made it a public topic. Kim Yeon-su was already a well-known defensive Slayer nationwide. His bold assertion had caused a whirlwind in the Slayer community.

“Recently, in the case of Normal Dungeons, the party system has been activated, and achievement and reward distributions based on contributions are being implemented. I believe we should do the same. At least in the case of the Redstone we obtained from the previous Cyclops, we should definitely concede it to the Platinum Slayer. It doesn’t belong to us. As mentioned earlier, we have to pay for the protection we received from him.”

His argument ignited strong public opinion. Redstone wasn’t just some cheap item. The amount initially proposed by the government was 10 billion won. The exact value had not been determined yet. However, the dominant expectation was that it would be traded for at least 15 billion won or more—initially, there were talks of at least 13 billion won, but the price went up even further.

It was a significant amount of money, almost 200 million won per person. It was a considerable sum not only for ordinary people but also for wealthy individuals.

There were endless comments on related articles on the internet.

There was no doubt about the power of the Platinum Slayer. He soloed the Cyclops, which was considered an impossible achievement, and it was certified by the Japanese Union. He defeated Jong-won perfectly and achieved a perfect victory once again. He possessed outstanding abilities in both monster slaying and one-on-one combat. If he hadn’t been there during the Cyclops slaying, it was almost certain that everyone would have died. This was evident when looking at the case of Japan, where 140 top-tier Slayers were slaughtered.

Among the 80 Slayers who challenged the Cyclops, 70 of them agreed with Kim Yeon-su’s argument. They were top-tier Slayers, and they understood the value of the Platinum Slayer, not wanting to be compared to him for just 200 million won. It was a considerable sum, but it wasn’t that significant to the top-tier Slayers.

Hyun-seok was caught up in his own thoughts. 15 billion won was certainly a substantial amount, and it would make anyone gasp in awe. However, it wasn’t the case for Hyun-seok. He could easily make more than 20 billion won just by selling the Yellow Stone he received as a dungeon-clearing reward a few hours ago.

‘Is it better for me to accept this…?’

He considered the advantages and disadvantages of accepting or not accepting it. There were two advantages to accepting it. One was the monetary gain, and the other was the potential change in the distribution of slaying rewards in the future.josei

Given the amount of money involved and the people involved, it became a significant public issue. Depending on Hyun-seok’s actions, the established practice could change.

‘Indeed, the 1/N distribution is not a good method for me and other Slayers. It’s fortunate that the Giant Turtle didn’t drop any items… Perhaps that’s a blessing in disguise?’

As a side note, the Giant Turtle didn’t drop any items, so there was no talk about items. However, the surviving Slayers present at the scene obtained their stats for free. Of course, they also suffered losses. Some Slayers had suffered serious burns, and the combat field disappeared as the supporting Slayers were the first to die.

In any case, Sori Inc. had released a device that roughly estimated contributions in line with the prevailing trend. It had gained popularity after faltering initially due to the dungeon’s party system activation. It was said that the device’s functionality would be incorporated into the future Smart Encyclopedia, but it was not currently possible.

For Hyun-seok, 15 billion won wasn’t a huge issue. However, the related social issue surrounding it was significant. He discussed it with Sung-hyung.

“I don’t think 15 billion won is such a large sum for you.”“Yes, it’s… not a big deal, actually.”

Hyun-seok was not someone consumed by materialism. He valued intangible things more than immediate financial gains. Sung-hyung began speaking.
