Is it true that the Ilsung Guild and the Money Talks Guild are fighting each other?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―Yes, It’s going to be held at the Sangam Awakened Arena. But what about the investment scale? XD\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―60 trillion won for a 20% stake? Didn’t they refuse to buy 10% for 5 trillion won last time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―That’s right. But back then, they didn’t have anything but an F-rank record. It’s a bit different now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―They cleared an A+ gate and the Sword of Justice joined them. But 60 trillion won? Do they have the money……?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―Ilsung has that much cash piled up.

Guild investment funds are not treated as donations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―I don’t know. It could be a tax loophole. But there’s bound to be backlash. It seems like they’re buying it too expensive…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―That’s why they’re having a guild battle, right? If they really beat Ilsung’s 1st team, isn’t 60 trillion won a cheap price?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―300 trillion won for 100%? That’s the worth of a 1.5th tier guild globally 😂 Ilsung is just a 2.5th tier guild XDXD\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―Ugh. You have to look at the potential. If they beat Ilsung’s 1st team, the three of them can clear an S-rank gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―Yeah. In the world, it’s natural that a premium is attached to high potential. If they really pull it off, there will be less backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―Can they win? Even though Ilsung Guild has been in 5th place for years, it’s a wall of despair for the lower guilds. They fight better than you think;;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―If they’re exceptional, they can win. But are the three of them good enough? They’re rookies who haven’t even been Awakened for three months, except for Sword of Justice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―There is a possibility.

I’m more worried about Siwoo; is he really that good?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Lol, yeah. He’ll probably be the first one out. He’s probably not even that high level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—I said he’s good and you think he’s actually good? I’m an A-rank Awakened, and this is a complete suicide mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Yeah. Let’s just wait a few more months. It’s a shame; it’s a shame to break their momentum when they’re just starting to take off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The general public opinion was similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money Talks Guild?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They know they have a lot of potential. After all, they cleared an A+ gate and were made up of talented Super Rookies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what’s the point of having a good lineup if you don’t have the experience?

I feel so proud…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Isn’t this guild battle going to be canceled? Even if the Land of Giants map is small, it should take at least 3 days to clear, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—No. It’ll take half a day if you have a 1st team power level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Isn’t a 1st team a 30-man full party? There are only three of them, lol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—They just need to get to the middle ground.

Is it possible or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—If they can clear it in less than half a day, then it’s okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Half a day? What are you talking about?
