Its real.
Hans requested it be done, but he truly didnt expect Sungmin to succeed. He ordered a 14 year old boy to capture 5 orcs. Moreover, the boy wasnt soone who had mastered martial arts, nor was he a person who had mastery in magic. He was a fourteen year old No Class.
Such a kid brought 10 orc eyeballs.
I was about to die.
Lee Sungmin looked terrible. He had beco a dirty ss after the ambush. He was sweating and his face was sared with dirt, perating the air with the stench of blood and sweat.
You didnt just collect these from the ground, right?
How can I get orc eyeballs from the ground that easily.
You could have co across a corpse.
You just dont want to give what we promised, right?
Lee Sungmin asked.
Hans laughed at that. After a bout of laughter, Hans shook his head.
No, its a promise, so Ill give it to you.
Hans muttered as he pulled out the interdinsional pocket.
Now, heres the interdinsional pocket worth 600,000 Erie.
Lee Sungmin grabbed the pocket from him with the speed of lightning. He smiled and shoved it into his pocket.
Thank you!
Finally, you seem like a child when smiling.
Hans laughed.
What do you an seems like a child? I am one.
What. Its been about 2 weeks since Ive gotten to know you Ive never seen a child like you. How do you have such a mature ntality?
It was an accurate inference. Lee Sungmin puckered his lips and muttered.
I think its normal.
Hahahaha!
Hans laughed while holding onto his stomach. It was hard acting like a genuine kid. Sungmin thought that as he pulled out 5 axes.
Buy these for , please.
Hey, you shaless brat. Why would I buy this? The edge is chipped, and the weapon as a whole is about to break, too.
You can just retrieve the steel from it and buy that.
What kind of an idiot would buy steel that isnt even clean?
But I brought this heavy thing for you
Thats your problem. Im not buying this.
Hans seed to have so kindness in him so Sungmin had a go at attempting to sell the axes off, but it seed like he didnt have that much goodwill to buy trash. His shoulders drooped.
Dont do that.
Hans grumbled.
Would you consider becoming a rcenary?
Hans suddenly asked.
A rcenary?
Yeah.
rcenary. Lee Sungmin knew about them. In his past life, he belonged to a rcenary guild.
It was one of the easiest jobs that a No Class could get. There were many rits in becoming one. The guild would take commissions, but it would be easier to trade items through rcenary guilds, and it would be easier to arrive in most cities with a rcenary ID.
It was easy to get jobs, too. There was usually at least one in every city. The jobs assigned to rcenaries were different, but they would still be able to carry out jobs to earn money and recognition.
... I dont have any plans yet.
Lee Sungmin shook his head.
His past self was a C-rank rcenary. It wasnt the best. Most of the rcenaries were ranked C.
C rank. That was essentially the limit of a No Class. Perhaps, if he had co across fortuitous opportunities, he might have reached a rank higher than that, but it was impossible for the average No Class- such as himself.
I would be a F-rank rcenary if I signed up now.
The lowest ranking was G. ly, he started from G-rank and made it up to C-rank. The rcenaries within the sa rank also had great disparity in strength between one another. To say there were different levels of strength such as C , C, and C-, he was a re C.
He already knew the process of becoming one and knew that there wouldnt be much benefits in joining. Though it was simple to enter the guild, rising up in ranks was far more difficult. Dropping in ranks, however, was an easy matter. Just a few botched missions would cause a person to drop down by one rank.
It would be better to conserve his energy for the ti being and sign up later on. Starting out as a D-ranker would put him in a better situation as compared to starting as a G-ranker. His aim was to qualify to be a D-ranker. He had no plans on entering the guild till then.
Hm, if you dont want to, then its fine
Hans muttered.
But, becoming a rcenary isnt that bad. A lot of benefits co along in doing so.
I suppose.
He already knew about said benefits. The stench of battle still clung to his body distracting him.
Um, can I leave?
Leaving once youve finished your business with . You uncharming boy.
Do you enjoy getting charm from a boy?
No. Leave.
Hans waved his hands. Sungmin bowed and grabbed his bag from the ground. Then, he moved away from Hans.
Hey! Take your trash!
Hans yelled at him, but he ignored it.
*
Hey, you stink.
He heard such a remark once he returned to the inn.
A girl with fair cheeks looked at Sungmin and held her head. He knew that he stunk, so he didnt react to it.
I know.
You, you talked disrespectfully to again!
The girl said in a sharp tone. Her na was Lula she was Jacks daughter.
Our difference in age is only by one year. Its funny to have to call a person just a year older than you your older sister.
Whats funny about that? Youre still younger than .
You should act more mature before people address you as their older sister.
Lee Sungmin put down his bag. Lula was 15; she was older than him by a year.
However, he had no intentions on addressing her as his older sister. He looked to be 14 years of age, but he was actually a 27 year old man. Referring to a 15 year old girl that way was sothing Sungmin could not bear to do.
What about Jack?
Hes in the kitchen. The al today is mushroom stew and chicken. It should be delicious, right?
Lula said laughingly. Jacks cooking was exemplary. If Sungmin had to pick out two things that he liked the most, it would be the increase in speed of his cultivation thods and Jacks culinary skills.
He couldnt eat a proper breakfast as he left the inn early in the morning. Therefore, his breakfast comprised of mainly hard bread. His lunch was comprised of just bread, too.
What did you eat for breakfast?
Bread, fried eggs and potatoes.
It probably tasted great.
Dads good at cooking. You should leave a bit later so you can eat breakfast together with us.
Sitting on the table, she grumbled as she swung her legs. Sungmin smiled bitterly at that.
There was a reason why he had to leave so early. In the morning, there were fewer people. Usually, the forest would be crowded with Otherworlders later on during the day. If he were to co across another person in the forest annoying issues might arise.
Instead of having to deal with the possibility of encountering matters like that, it was better to leave early with so hard bread.
However, Ill be able to hunt with ease tomorrow.
With the help of the interdinsional pocket, it would be convenient to bring more food along with him. He didnt bring milk before- for fear of it spoiling midway- but he would be able to bring so in the future by using the interdinsional pocket.
Milk was important. He was currently growing. If he didnt maintain a balanced diet, he might not grow to be as tall as his previous self.
Why do you fight in the forest everyday? You always return with a stench on you.
She asked. She was probably bored, hence the smalltalk. There werent many custors in the inn as it was located far away from the forest, and the custors who visited were usually Jacks regulars who just wanted to have a al.
Of course, there would not be anyone near Lulas age. Lee Sungmin was a friend that she did not have since a long ti ago.
Im an Otherworlder. I need to hunt monsters to earn money.
Do you think Im stupid? Otherworlders dont have to hunt. They can just get a job and work!
Lula retorted. He could only smile bitterly in response.
Lula was right. There were easier ways to live in Eria. Becoming a rcenary and hunting monsters like Lee Sungmin did in his past life was just one of the various thods for survival.
Usually, the Otherworlders who had no power would get jobs.
How about working at our inn? I think my dad likes you.
I dont know how to cook or clean.
That was a lie. He knew how to do such things. It was the first task the rcenary guild made him do after his registration.
However, he didnt want to. He didnt want to waste his precious return to the past by engaging in nial tasks such as hard labour.
But, what if you die?
Ill try not to.
Easier said than done, is it not?
Of course I know that. I almost died today.
I dont get it. Isnt it better to work at a inn than to put your life at risk?
Lula grumbled. She might be right. Lee Sungmin knew from experience that what he planned to do might just be a stupid aspiration.
Call when its dinnerti.
He said as he climbed up the stairs.
He knew that the outco may be bleak, but he wanted to start all over again.
A life better than before.
