Perhaps the chairman is the same.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, as Chairman Dogo effortlessly soared dozens of meters above, he murmured while gazing at Lemu’s cuboid structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>–Be thankful that this is a commercial zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Dogo’s right hand rested near the sheath at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had this not been a commercial area, he would have drawn his sword without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘…Truly befitting of the head of a weapons manufacturing company.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, it indicated that even Dogo couldn’t defy the universal laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘How does the world outside Earth function?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dogo, the founder of a weapons company born on the battlefield, and Lemu, a cosmopolitan pornography producer whose species remains unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by observing the two major corporations present here, one could understand the vastness of the universe, as evidenced by the expressions used by the traders encountered thus far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was undoubtedly a clear hierarchical system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If what Kubu says is true, then my current universal ranking is Grade 7. Just judging by the rank, I have a higher status than those who trade across multiple planets. How is this possible?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, I was even Grade 12, they said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, one’s status in the universe varies depending on what one achieves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, could someone who was just a resident of a single planet establish a cosmic enterprise like “Dogo” and make a name for themselves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo stared blankly at Dogo hovering high in the sky, he soon began descending towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How does he manage to float in midair like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it a feature of his equipment? Or a racial characteristic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo scrutinized the figure before him, Dogo, approaching within 3 meters above his head, glanced down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, at least that’s what it seemed like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dogo wore a helmet shaped like some sort of beast, with no exposed areas for the eyes, hence no gaze was visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… Chairman, nice to meet you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo managed to correct himself from stumbling over his words as he faced the founder of Dogo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he didn’t exude a unique aura like Dogo’s shareholders, his mere presence was imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, whether it was due to his position or his actual skill, Yeongwoo couldn’t tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At any rate, one thing was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>–Looking at you like this, I can see that you have grown taller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dogo, the founder of Dogo, who was also occasionally observing the daily life of the new advertising model Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s… an honor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo expressed his gratitude even though he wasn’t sure what he was honored for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While doing so, he noticed the damaged and dented parts of Dogo’s full-body armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Unbelievable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who or what could inflict physical damage on such a giant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Or maybe it’s his sense of aesthetics…? A testament to his various battles?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, from the fact that he could threaten Lemu, it seemed that the chairman’s status was extraordinary even on a cosmic scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yeongwoo had no choice but to ask before accepting the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman, if I may.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―Speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It may be an intrusive question, but… what is your rank?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Dogo were Grade 2 or above, he would have to use the Golden Orb right here and now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this moment, there might never be another opportunity to see someone of Grade 2 or higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving Yeongwoo’s question, Dogo, who had been gazing at this Earth-originated advertising model for a while, placed his hand on the dented part of his armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―As for myself, the Destruction King Dogo is a Grade 3 entity in accordance with universal law. Regrettably so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, indicating that Dogo already knew about Yeongwoo’s achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Dogo raised a finger encased in armor, pointing towards the distant cuboid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―The despicable Lemu is a Grade 4 entity. Since he will leave no achievements behind, he will remain there until his demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘A being of a cosmic business level is roughly Grade 4. If one reaches the level of founding such a business, they move up to Grade 3.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, judging by the expressions used to describe Dogo, he didn’t seem like a mere elder merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The titles used by cosmic figures are based on factual achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is as if Yeongwoo can use the epithet “the strongest in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, a human of Earth,” just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Dogo is essentially recognized as a destroyer by the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Well then… Just how high are Grade 2 entities…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, memories of when Kubu was just Grade 9 resurfaced, unable to even dare to describe Grade 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps achieving the “Golden Storm” accomplishment, which he once thought could be easily achieved, had become more elusive than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, then… How can one meet entities of Grade 2 or higher? Have you ever met them, Chairman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yeongwoo asked again, Dogo chuckled softly from within his distant armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>–If you cause enough trouble, you will undoubtedly meet them. There’s a possibility for you as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was an ambiguous expression, Yeongwoo interpreted it as meaning that Dogo, too, had encountered Grade 2 entities due to his cosmic troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also known as ‘Stubborn’ by the system, Jeong Yeongwoo 07.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘At this rate, I might meet them someday.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, to truly cause trouble, perhaps the lewd advertisement side…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swiftly, as Yeongwoo’s gaze unintentionally shifted towards Lemu, Dogo, sensing it like a ghost, swiftly drew his sword like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yikes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Dogo’s sword was inches away from Yeongwoo’s nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, neither Yeongwoo’s Joseon swordsmanship nor Rohm’s Bottom embedded in the Golden Trail on his back responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because there was no intention to harm the opponent, neither Yeongwoo’s martial skills nor Rohm’s Bottom reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>–Becoming vulgar is not a bad way to become famous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Dogo slowly pulled back the sword he had thrust at Yeongwoo, creating a straight line, spikes spread out around that line, emitting a bright light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘A contract written with a sword.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly what Dogo had said when he first arrived on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually written a new contract with his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the same time, the contract given by Dogo’s shareholders disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>–Your battles already belong to Dogo. Do not fight with mud on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dogo used surprisingly poetic expressions for a Destruction King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the power of the contract he offered wasn’t impressive, then those words would just be empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tense heart, Yeongwoo reached out towards Dogo’s new contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator – Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader – Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as his fingertips touched the contract with the spike pattern, a completely different format appeared before his eyes for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, as if a space opened up before his eyes, characters began to appear within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most notably, the name of the original contract attached to the top of the contract caught Yeongwoo’s eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Contract: Dogo-107-IIIIII_II-Tier 1」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Tier 1? Is it because it’s a direct contract with the founder?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name “Dogo” on the contract represented the subject of the contract or the party executing the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the barcode following it was Yeongwoo’s unique code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the number 107 between the names of the two parties was probably…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The number of 1 Tier contracts Dogo has executed so far.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a reasonably based inference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the number attached to the advertising quest contract with Dogo was an astonishing “49523”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Contract: Dogo-49523-IIIII_II-2 Tier」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Dogo had generated nearly 50,000 Tier 2 contracts thus far, and there were 107 Tier 1 contracts, including this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, what about Lemu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Contract: Lemu-8739-IIIIII_II-Tier 2」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the contract Lemu offered was also Tier 2, the number was only 8739.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That could mean his experience was much shorter compared to Dogo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Now I’ve learned a bit about reading contracts.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo finished reading the contract’s header, the main content finally appeared line by line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Required) [Permanent Advertisement Space – Tattoo]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– The headquarters’ mixed advertisement will be broadcasted on the “Tattoo” space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Oh, this seems to be a standard contract.
