I Live Alone in the Inventory

Chapter 68

next day.

Jeongmin and Leah woke up inside the inventory.

Yuri and the children slept in Jung-min’s studio, so the two spent the night in the inventory.

When I moved to the room, Yuri and the children were still asleep.

Yu-ri, feeling the presence of the two, opened her eyes, and Jung-min spoke in a low voice as she saw Yuri standing up.

“Did you sleep well? Your body will be very tired, so let’s have a good rest here today. If you want to see the shelter facilities, go out and come back. We have work today, so I think we have to go out and come back.”

After speaking, Jeong-min gave Yuri a wristband for serving meals and told her where the restaurant was and how to use it.

Jung-min and Leah, who told Yuri to rest a little more, left the room and moved to the residence where Liddell and Yamazaki lived.

Yamazaki must have already left, and Liddell was alone in the room.

Liddell welcomed the two of them, and Jung-min told him about Yuri and the children he met yesterday.

Liddell, who heard Jung-min’s story, said.

– ‘Training’ is a rare skill. It’s also a rare but useless skill.-

“I’ve heard that too. Since there aren’t enough animals to handle, it’s not very useful…”

– Yes, I guess. That’s why I know that there are very few Awoken who invest in and grow that skill.-

Jung-Min, who heard Liddell’s words, nodded.

“Yes, I don’t think it will be of much use here… but what about in Kirsian?”

-… Yes?-

Jung-min said to Liddell, who seemed to be incomprehensible.

“Even if there are few animals here or in other worlds where [Trials of God] are taking place… I wonder if Kirsian is different. Aren’t there a lot of animals there?”

– Of course, there are a huge number of animals living there. But even so…

Liddell, who was answering, lowered his head as if he remembered something, and fell into deep thought.

Jeongmin and Leah waited for him to organize his thoughts.

After a short time, Liddell raised his head and spoke again.

– I think I know roughly what the two of you are thinking. Any thoughts on how to divert attention from the two of us who will have to move directly after we move on to Kyrsian?-

“Yes, that’s right. Go Lab’s ‘Training’ skill is said to be able to control dozens or hundreds of animals at once. If you use that skill to move the animals inside Kirsi, wouldn’t it create instant confusion? That way, Leah-san and I will be able to buy some time to move. Yesterday, I thought about it after hearing Mr. Riedel’s words that there might not be enough personnel to carry out the operation in Kirsian.”

-Of course, Golab’s ‘Training’ skill will be able to control hundreds of animals at once. Detailed commands will be difficult and it will be just carrying out simple commands, but I think it can induce enough confusion. Uh.. It’s kind of a simple idea.. but it seems to work.-

“Then, would you think of Eunjin as a member to go to Kirsian together and come up with a plan?”

-Would it be okay? Taking a child to something that could be dangerous…

“We should move to Kirsian and prepare to come back right here after using the skill. If we stay, it could be dangerous.. Please put that into your plan. I’ll have to ask.”

– Hmm… There must be a lot to think about. How can I raise that child’s skill level… Oh, I have to do it. You two must have a lot of work to do… I’ll take care of it-

“Would you please? I would appreciate it if you would.”

-Just ask for some mana potions. In order to raise the skill level quickly, it seems to be necessary in large quantities.-

At Liddell’s words, Jung-min took out dozens of bottles of mana potion from his inventory.

After receiving the mana potions, Riddell piled them up on one side of the room and told Jeongmin.

-First of all, ask me about your intention, and if I get your consent, I will start training. Since he is a child, he thinks he will go to school within the shelter. Then, after school, I will conduct training to raise the skill level with me. Please let me come here after school.-

Jimin nodded and said.

“Okay. Then we’ll proceed like that. We’ll try going again. It looks like we’ll be busy today as well.”

-You are suffering a lot. take a look –

Jeongmin and Leah broke up with Liddell and moved to the shelter manager’s room.

Upon opening the door and entering, Jo Won greeted them.

“Welcome. You’re coming in one day. What kind of results have you already achieved?”

“I don’t know if it can be called an achievement. First of all, I found out the location of an organization that gathers looters. They say they’re gathering at Sungshin Station. I’m thinking of going there today.”

“The station of the Holy Ghost?”

“Yes, this is the information I got from meeting with a few groups of marauders yesterday.”

“Since it’s the role of Sungshin… [Sungjin] It’s like Shelter.”

“[Sungjin] Shelter?”

“Yes. [Sungjin] is also a case of converting a subway station into a shelter. If it’s Sungshin station… It sure seems like a good place for them. There are no large guilds or shelters nearby…”

Jung-min said to Jo-won who was muttering.

“I stopped by today for a different matter than that.”

Jung-min told me about Yuri and the children he brought with him last night.

Joey, who heard the story, nodded his head and said.

“As long as the identity is clear, there is no problem in accepting the shelter. However, it is a problem because there is no residential area. The additional residential area is still under construction… I wonder if I will have to live in a tent like other refugees.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. I’ll have you tied up in my room for the time being.”

“Yes? Then the two of you…”

“Don’t worry, we have a place to sleep. One of the children is still 6 years old. Can we send him to a daycare? They say there’s a school. Can we send the 11-year-old there?”

“There is a facility where all the children are brought together and educated through integration. It’s a school in a shelter. You can send them there.”

“Yes, please go through the formalities for now.”

“Okay. Oh, and…”

Joey hesitated to say something.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Ah, honestly, I don’t think this information is very useful. But there’s nothing wrong with knowing it.”

“What information?”

“Any large band of marauders will most likely have firearms. You can buy them in the store.”

“Oh, do the stores sell firearms?”

“Yes. Although expensive.”

“You dare to buy firearms with expensive gold?”

Jo Won nodded his head at Jung Min’s words.

“In a normal case, you wouldn’t have to pay expensive gold to buy it, but it’s different if you’re a looter who hunts Awakeners.

Firearms are still useful weapons for most Awoken. Even the members of [Daesung]’s combat unit cannot withstand bullets unless they are at the rank of leader.”

“Hmm, I see. Well, it’s not a big deal to me.”

“That’s why I said it was unnecessary information.”

“Anyway, thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.”

After Jung-min and Leah finished talking with Jo-won, they left the shelter manager’s room.

The two slowly walked out of the shelter.

Leah looked at Jeongmin and said.

“Are you going to a place called Seongshin Station?”

“Yes, we should deal with it as quickly as possible and go back to Chianan. We have a lot of work to do.”

“Do you know where it is?”

“Rather than knowing the location… I just know that the station is approximately somewhere. It’s a place I’ve never been to… I know roughly what area it is, so I’ll have to go there and look for it. It’s said to be large, so it will stand out.”

Leah nodded at Jeongmin’s words and said.

“Then shall we go?”

Jeongmin held out his hand to Leah.

Two people holding hands. Jung-min used spatial movement while estimating the approximate direction.

earth! earth! earth!

Four exits down to Sungshin Station.

After deciding to use only exit 3, all exits 1, 2, and 4 were closed.

The construction of manufacturing and installing iron gates and enclosing the surroundings with walls was in full swing.

A man staring at dozens of workers each hanging from a wall and a door.

The fierce eyes and the large scar across one cheek made the man look even more ferocious.

A small murmur was heard among the workers who had been working for a while.

When the scarred man looked towards the commotion, he saw the worker working on the outside running away.

With a light tongue, the man took something out of the back of his trousers and lifted it towards the fleeing worker.

What came out of the man’s back dance was a pistol.

taang taang

When you aim and pull the trigger, a bullet is fired with a loud sound.

The man’s shooting skills were not very good, but dust rose from the feet of the fleeing worker.

The worker covered his head with both hands with a ‘hiik’ sound and started running zigzag.

The man with scars moved the muzzle and tried to aim at the worker, but gave up and stuck the gun into the back of his pants again.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Biting his lip in regret, the man took out a walkie-talkie from his inside pocket and said.

“One jumped out. Catch it.”

When the man’s horse fell, someone jumped out of nowhere and ran quickly in the direction where the worker had disappeared.

Shortly thereafter, a tearing scream was heard from the direction where the two disappeared, and a man covered in blood trudged back.

The man with the scars who saw it said with a frown.

“Did I kill you? I asked you to catch me”

A bloody man walking across from me said.

“Shut up. Why should I listen to your orders?”

“Because I am the manager of this construction site!”

“Then take care of it properly. Don’t create a leaky guy and make it move. And I’ll dispose of the guy who runs away. Don’t think about saying this or that.”

“You’ve already killed all the things you run away from, so there’s not enough people!”

The man with the scars became reddish as if exasperated, and glared at the bloodied man.

A middle-aged man dressed as a laborer approached the two.

“I..”

When the scarred man turned around, the middle-aged man hesitantly spoke up.

“Uh, I haven’t eaten properly since yesterday and I’m still working. At this rate, I can’t even work efficiently and-“

Taang

A middle-aged man falling backwards with a hole in his forehead.

The scarred man lowered the muzzle and said quietly to the rest of the workers who were looking this way.

“Don’t act like a dog and finish the construction quickly. If you don’t finish the work within the deadline, you’ll be ruined like this guy.”

Looking around, seeing the man with the scars growling, the man covered in blood said with a chuckle.

“Wasn’t there a shortage of people?”

The scarred man glared at the bloody man again, and the bloody man shrugged once and disappeared from the spot.

from far away,

Jeongmin and Leah were watching this.

Due to the distance, the contents of the conversation could not be heard, but the two people who could get a rough idea of the situation shook their heads.

Jung-min, who tried to swallow the curse that was about to come out, spoke.

“All the people working seem to be non-awakened. I thought there would only be looters…”

Hearing Jungmin’s words, Leah nodded and said.

“They must have needed people to command them. There are probably many non-Awakened people down there living hellish lives experiencing all sorts of exploitation.”

“.. Shall we just charge through that under-construction entrance?”

“There could be children like Eunjin and Minjun in there. They are looters armed with firearms, so if they get into a fight, they could all be dangerous.”

“…”

Concerned, Jung-min looked at Leah again and said.

“Then, I’ll use the ‘stealth’ skill to get inside. Let’s look at the situation inside and then come up with a plan.”

“Why don’t I buy a stealth skill and go with you? I have a certain amount of gold…”

Jungmin thought for a moment and shook his head.

“No. I have a lot of things to use gold in the future, but I don’t think I should waste it. I’ll let you go alone. Please wait for a while.”

Leah nodded at Jeongmin’s words.

“Okay. I’ll wait. Take care. Well… I don’t think there’s anything particularly dangerous.”

Jung-min smiled at Leah, used the ‘stealth’ skill, and walked slowly towards Exit 3 of Sungshin Station.
