* [Skill: Sanctuary Proclamation]
Description: Can declare a sanctuary. Church members in the sanctuary feel unshakable mental and physical stability and strong sanctity, quickly recover from fatigue, enter a state of weak awakening at all times, and obey the religious leader. Sanctuary’s effects are intensified by multiple causes. Whether or not the religious leader in the sanctuary exists. The effectiveness of the sanctuary is determined by a combination of the total obedience of the church members in the sanctuary, the monetary value of the sanctuary, the social prestige of the church and the sanctuary, and the synergy effect with the relics placed in the sanctuary . If the effect of sanctuary is strong enough, even non-church members can feel indescribable mystique or experience mystical experiences within sanctuary.
Tip – Proclamation of sanctuary is possible only in places owned by the religious leader or considered to be owned by the general opinion.

“Huh, look at this.”
It was a complicated skill description that seemed to tell us the importance of the sanctuary. Long story short, it meant that there was a lot to chew on.
I read the skill description line by line and looked at the effect of the sanctuary. After reading it, I got a sense of how to use it.
‘If I use the sanctuary, I can prevent withdrawal symptoms and increase my obedience.’
The sanctuary had powerful buffs such as mental stability, fatigue recovery, and awakening.
If I used these buffs, I thought it would be okay without me having to go out and relieve the withdrawal symptoms.
Of course, there was a condition that it only applied when inside the sanctuary, but this wasn’t a simple penalty if you looked at it.
‘Because it was said that the sum of the obedience of the church members in the sanctuary is also involved in strengthening the effect of the sanctuary… ‘
In the sanctuary, they do not suffer from withdrawal symptoms. If you turn this word upside down, it was said that if it was not a sanctuary, you would suffer from withdrawal symptoms.
So, in order not to suffer from withdrawal symptoms, church members had no choice but to stay in the sanctuary.
The obedience of the church members who stay in the sanctuary strengthens the sanctuary intact, and the obedience rate rises rapidly in the reinforced sanctuary. In other words, in order to get rid of withdrawal symptoms, it was a structure that had no choice but to pay me for obedience.
‘Kya. It’s a bug, a bug.’
Sanctuary was an obedience copying bug with an elaborate mechanism. It could even affect non-members of the church if the effect was strong enough.
‘Now I have one more reason to eat Star Enter quickly.’
The condition of the quest was to make at least two sanctuaries.
It seemed just right to designate one as a home and the other as the Star Entertainment office building.
Celebrities, trainees, and employees belonging to the agency can be nurtured into great industry leaders of the Infinite Abstinence Church through the sanctuary buff.
‘Then first… Shall I open the church management window?’
I opened the leader’s window and entered the church administration.

‘Are you still the baby teacher?’
After completing one quest, I thought she would have reached the age of a child, but she still couldn’t escape from being a newborn-level leader. She felt that she should push herself a little further.
‘First, the sanctuary… ‘
I pressed the [Can declare sanctuary] Button firmly.
With a performance in the house and frequent reception of other female guests, I thought it would be all right to quickly turn the house into a sanctuary.

* List of places where you can declare a sanctuary
[Gyoju’s Hannam-dong home]
[Officetel in Samseong-dong, Gyoju]
Sanctuary can be declared: 2 times
TIP – Currently, the number of times you can declare a sanctuary is 2. In order to declare additional sanctuaries, the Church must be expanded.
——
“Oh, there was also an officetel.”
I forgot to leave it for a while. At the moment, I thought about clearing the quest in an instant by designating an officetel with my home as a sanctuary, but I gave up soon.
It was too stupid to create a useless sanctuary just to break the quest.
Since it was not known for sure how much to expand the church to designate more sanctuaries, he had to use the two opportunities he was currently given as efficiently as possible.
So, I designated only the ‘religious leader’s Hannam-dong home’ as a sanctuary, and then came back to the church management window and even designated the symbol in an instant.
The symbol I specified is ‘§’.
It was a symbol called double S, but it had a deep meaning.
One S was the ‘S’ of ‘SEX’, and another S was attached to it to make it look like a dollar sign ($).
It contained both ‘sex’, the most insidious act that humans can do, and ‘dollar’, the currency of currencies, in a simple symbol.
It was a double-S symbol that was designated in the blink of an eye as a brilliant idea, but I could guarantee that there would be no symbol that would fit better with Infinite Abstinence, which worships the god of money and women.
‘Oh, I’m tired of ideas. Now, if we take over Star Entertainment, everything else will be a breeze.’
If the takeover of Star Enter went well, the rest of the quest was not difficult.
It seemed like it could be made by injecting the aura into the sculpture in the office building, and the Double S symbol could be used as a symbol of the church and a logo representing Star Entertainment.
All the pictures to clear the quest had already been drawn.
‘Well then, I guess I’ll have to start working in earnest.’
I opened the phone book and texted Yuna.
If everything went according to my plan, she was a woman who could be expected to make a big impact not only in this quest but also in the church in the future.
****
Next day.
It was an old-fashioned Japanese restaurant in a high-end hotel.
It was a room with tatami mats, and the menu was a VIP lunch course. Yesterday, I texted Yuna to talk about work and to treat her to lunch, and Yuna readily accepted.
Me and Yuna had a meal together and talked about simple things, while I observed Yuna in front of her from time to time.
‘She is pretty and has good skills. Talented people like this should be made into church members unconditionally.’
She was a woman with rich, gorgeous wavy hair and a neat but classy office look that suited her well.
Even the sociability was great. She never got bored when she talked to her. He wasn’t the type to rush like Dayoung, but his reactions and topical transitions were astounding. She was able to have a non-stop, comfortable conversation with her.
She simply ate lunch and chatted lightly, and it was enough to see how good she was. If Jeong-hye had been born into a golden spoon family and had grown up following her elite course, would she have become like this?
Well, Jeong-hye, the head of the family, who grew up straight despite being underprivileged, was also attractive enough.
“… Mr. Minjun?”
“Ah, Yuna-san. I’m sorry. I was thinking about something else for a second.”
We got along pretty well. Entering the Japanese restaurant, I first suggested to Yuna how to use respectful words for each other, and Yuna readily accepted.
It was a natural step to move forward not as a simple customer and employee, but as a little more intimate relationship.
Well, considering Yuna’s age her, who is about to turn 30, it would be correct to call her noona, but that would have happened after our relationship had progressed a little further.
Srup-.
I took a sip of green tea from her cup and looked at Yuna in front of her. It was gorgeous and luxurious. The feeling that people gave was luxury. That’s the most high-end class steamed luxury among many luxury goods.
A woman she would never have dared to talk to. But now it was different.
“Yuna, did you also study M&A?”
“I am not an expert, but I learned all the basics during my university and MBA courses. Min-jun, do you have any companies that you have your eyes on?”
“Yes, what. Personally, I’m thinking of buying an entertainment agency, but she wants to get some advice on what to do.”
Even as we talked, the feeling was new.
A person who can say that he lives in a company in front of a woman like Yuna in a non-naughty tone. I had become that kind of person before I knew it.
Oh, I should have recorded this scene on video.
“If you have not learned about M&A, it is difficult to proceed as an individual, and you will have to engage a specialized corporation or form a dedicated team to proceed. Realistically, it would be the easiest way to leave it to a specialized corporation even if it costs a little more money. I can arrange it for you if you want.”
“Well…”
After hearing Yuna’s answer to her, I paused for quite some time pretending to be thinking about it quite seriously. Yuna waited for her mouth to open with an expression that she would listen to anything she said.
It’s a bit out of the blue, but this was also one of the good things about becoming a respectable man.
Should I call it appearance concentration or appearance sensitivity?
It’s usually limited to women, but when you express something with a handsome face, the expression becomes much more powerful. Even though my expressive power was intact, the women put their emotions into each and every expression on my face and focused their attention.
So, even though it was just silence, receiving the appearance buff like this gave off a special atmosphere.
I looked at the atmosphere and opened my mouth at the right time.
“Currently, we are only aiming for entertainment companies, but we do not know what will happen in the future… I have plans to grow my business in the future.”
“… Yes. Mr. Minjun.”
“But there is enough money, but people are a bit lacking. Maybe it’s because I’m young and my social life experience is insignificant.”
“Yes…”
Even after saying this much, Yuna showed a reaction as if she knew what I was going to say.
In the movement of her head her as she nodded, I could feel Yuna’s complicated intentions her.
Well, if you listen to my story to the end, you’ll realize that I didn’t have to think about it that complicated.
“… You seem to have already realized what I’m going to offer you, so I’ll be direct. Ms. Yuna, do you have any plans to work with me?”
“If you say work… “
“I intend to try and invest in several business fields in the future. I think we need a management expert who is knowledgeable in various fields and has connections across society, and I would like Yuna to take on that role. I am lacking a lot, but if you believe in me and follow me, I will treat you at an unconventional level for your position and salary. How many times more than your current salary. In addition, we can provide incentives and bonuses that are significantly higher than industry standards. I would like Yuna to work with me.”
It was so awkward that I practiced it several times. Even when I spit it out myself, I got goosebumps. It had to be.
I’ve lived a life on the fringes of the average, but clearly below it.
I had never even imagined in my life a line like this, which would have been uttered by the head of a conglomerate group.
But what can I do? As the saying goes, hiring top talent was not an easy task, and it was not something that could be avoided just because it was awkward.
“Well…”
Yuna put on a worried expression as she squeezed her beautiful lips with her lipstick applied tightly to see if she was experiencing an internal conflict.
However, I could vaguely feel that the inner conflict that Yuna was experiencing was not related to changing jobs.
She seemed to be agonizing over how she would turn my offer around and turn it down.
“I am Minjun. This is a very secret… But I think Min-joon really wants me, so I’ll tell you.”
“Yes, Yuna-san.”
Yuna’s tone was quite spleen.
I already expected that the result would be a refusal, but I pretended to listen to Yuna’s words to her and slightly tilted her upper body towards Yuna. Then, Yuna’s beautiful, thick lips Her slowly opened.
The words that came out of Yuna’s lips were very shocking to her.
“Actually, the current chairman of Sehan Group is my father.”
“Ah…… Under. Okay.”
I pretended to keep my composure, and tried to spit out the very benign word ‘I see’, but no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t stop my cheeks from burning.
Chaebol, chaebol. I’ve heard it far more than the word common people, but I’ve never actually seen it, so I had no idea it was hiding so close.
Of course, it was not known exactly whether the chairman of a financial holding company could be classified as a chaebol in a strict sense, but at least it was clear that Yuna’s family and her belonged to the conglomerate class.
Since Yuna will treat her unconventionally, her father persuaded her to come out of the company she is the chairman of. It was the oil fountain that wrinkled in front of the chrysalis. I couldn’t stand it without my cheeks turning red.
“I was surprised. Mr. Manjun?”
“Well… Haha. Actually, I’m very frustrated. I think I gave Yuna an overly presumptuous proposal.”
“Ah! It’s really not like that. It’s the first time I’ve received an offer like this from a customer other than headhunters or HR managers. I was very grateful because it felt like someone was recognizing my abilities. You valued my ability, not my family.”
“Ah, if you think so, I would really appreciate it.”
Yuna’s kind tone and plausible explanation subsided the heat that had been heated up little by little.
Yuna clearly looked at my face her with a mischievous smile, wondering if my change was fun.
“Are you ashamed of something like this when you are already so ambitious at the age of 20?”
“Kuhm… Well, this is the first time ever. I really couldn’t have imagined that.”
“I’m sorry, Min-jun. I didn’t tell anyone because there could be a job corruption problem. No matter how confidently you come in, people only believe what they want to believe. No one in the department knows that I am the president’s daughter except for the highest-ranking person.”
“Suddenly, I found out a secret about Yuna-san. If you’re lucky, you’re lucky.”
“Hee hee. If it wasn’t for my father, I would have readily accepted Minjun’s proposal… Really sorry.”
“Really?”
“Sure. Who can resist a young and handsome boss like Minjun? Besides, they rate me so highly.”
Yuna looked at me and smiled. I was also taken aback for a moment as if I was surprised by her sudden compliment of her on her appearance of her, but then she looked at Yuna and gently smiled at her.
Although the job offer was rejected, the atmosphere between Yuna and I was very soft, probably because we shared a secret that we couldn’t tell others.
We’ve been talking like water so far, but there’s hardly any jokes or personal stuff in it. Rather than a man and a woman, the feeling of a good match between the customer and the employee was strong.
But now it was different. After meeting a lot of women, I could definitely feel this now.
Although it was very weak between Yuna and I, there was still a pink air current flowing, and this atmosphere was definitely good to use.
I quickly activated the ‘Prophet’s Voice’ skill. If the pink air flow was weak, it was enough to amplify it by enticing Yuna to me. The whole tatami room could have been filled with pink air currents.
‘Well, actually, this is my specialty.’
Since the classic invitation to change jobs had failed, it was time to start planning B, ‘reason or flirtation’ from now on.
