I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 82

next day.

Early in the morning, Jeongmin and Leah moved to Liddell’s residence.

When I pressed the doorbell, Yamazaki opened the door and greeted the two.

“Hello. Long time no see.”

Yamazaki, who is clumsy but greets in incomparable Korean.

“Your Korean has improved a lot. Did you study hard?”

Hearing Jeongmin’s words, Yamazaki smiled and said.

“I’ve been studying hard. I’m fine with talking and listening now.”

“That’s great. I guess there’s no training today? Is Liddell in?”

“Yes, today is a day off. Liddell is inside.”

As Yamazaki guided them inside, Liddell greeted them.

– It’s been a very long time, you two. how are you-

“Hey guys, how have you been? We just got back from ‘Chi’anan’ last night.”

While Liddell and the two greeted each other, Yamazaki served tea, and the four of them sat together and started talking.

“Seeing the four of us sitting like this reminds me of what happened in Japan.”

-Yes. I had a really bad thing happen in Japan…

“Um. That’s right. Kuroi Tsubasa was imprisoned and dragged around…”

– Still, it’s not all bad memories. It was there that I met Ling-Ling-

Liddell and Yamazaki look into each other’s eyes.

Jung-min, who looked at the two awkwardly, said.

“Kuhmm. It is said that Japan now has the strongest Awakener from China.”

-Yes Yes?”

At the same time, Liddell and Yamazaki turned their heads to look at Jung-Min.

Jung-min told Jo-won about the ‘Xian Long’ he had heard yesterday.

Liddell said with an exasperated face.

– No, at what time is it now, who is stronger, who is lower, and think about things like that?

Let’s all work together to solve the [Trial of the Gods]…

“I mean. Of course I think so too… but what can I do. There are a lot of humans, and there are a lot of crazy ones out there…”

-That’s why you came back here from Chianan.-

“Yes, they said that there was no one who could stop him. He seems to be quite powerful since he is an Awakener who was decided and raised at the national level. That’s why he returned. I plan to take care of this quickly and return to ‘Chianan’ again.”

After taking a sip of tea, Jung-min told Liddell about what happened at Chianan.

After hearing Jung-min’s story, Liddell said with a satisfied expression.

– You must have suffered a lot. Now, it’s only a matter of time before the ‘Chianan’ thing is sorted out. How many gates are left?-

“There are about 2,000 of them left. Even now, they are rapidly declining. The Jeongrim branch is actively subjugating the gate.”

-It will take more time for S-class gates to appear-

“Is that so? When will the S-class gate appear?”

Jeongmin looked at Leah and asked.

After taking a sip of tea, Leah looked at Jung-min and said,

“In Elan, when the number of remaining gates fell below 100, the news of the appearance of an S-class gate was posted as a message. Perhaps ‘Chianan’ is the same?”

-you’re right. When the number of remaining gates is less than 100, an S-class gate will appear.-

“If things go on like this, we can easily reach the appearance of the S-class gate in a short amount of time. I’m just worried. In case, like in Elan, the S-class gate will disappear…”

Jung-min thought for a moment at Leah’s worried voice.

“The S-class gate has its own will, and it analyzes the power of the Awoken remaining on the planet and decides whether to show up or hide, right? In my case, I don’t think it will be counted because I’m not an Awakener of ‘Chianan’. If so, won’t the S-class gate appear right away?”

– Most likely. So you don’t have to worry about the S-class gate disappearing.-

“Then I’m glad.”

Jung-min continued talking while looking at Leah, who seemed somewhat relieved.

“Anyway, I don’t think there will be any problems with Chianan’s work. Rather, the problem is that after finishing Chianan’s [Trial of the Gods], he moved on to Kirsian. How is Eunjin’s skill level training going? do you have?”

Liddell smiled and answered Jeongmin’s question.

– The skill level has been raised a lot. Because he came every day, used his skills, drank mana potions, and so on. Even the amount of mana potion Eunjin drank was staggering. I’m glad I’m running out of mana potion. You need to fill it up.-

“Ah, I see.”

Jung-min opened his inventory and took out mana potions.

-I thought the amount you gave me before would be enough, but Eunjin is full of motivation again. He was very happy that his skills were helping others. I was so eager to train.

“I’m glad. What is Eunjin’s skill level now?”

-Currently 14.-

“Huh..”

Jeongmin looked at Liddell with surprised eyes.

“You’ve really improved a lot. The highest level of my skills right now is level 10…”

-Jungmin-ssi, you use a variety of different skills. This is a natural result since Eunjin trained to die with only one skill. It will rise even more in the future.-

“That’s right.”

– Above all, Eunjin’s skill effect is amazing. In the case of small animals, it is a level that can move 500 at a time. Of course, complicated commands are difficult.-

“500…!”

Jeongmin was very surprised and thought.

‘If it’s a small animal, it’s like a mouse or a rabbit… or a small bird when hit by the earth. If 500 of them pop out at once and stir up all over the place, it should be enough to induce chaos in one area. And if I continue to train and raise my level, the number will increase.”

While Jung-min was thinking, Liddell’s explanation continued.

– If you continue to raise the skill level in the future, small animals will be able to move up to a thousand units.

It might cause enough fuss to turn our attention to when we go to Kyrsian.-

“That’s amazing. If we buy and use skill-enhancing beads later, we can get even better results.”

-There’s just one thing I’m sorry about…-

“What do you miss?”

Liddell nodded at Jeongmin’s question.

-Anyway, only the skill level went up a lot, I haven’t used it in real life…-

Jimin nodded as if he understood.

“I guess so. In reality, there are hardly any animals left…”

-I tried gathering rats outside, but the number of rats gathered was very small. It seemed that the seed would dry up by the demons and humans. I tried to collect birds, but it was cold, so there weren’t many birds within the specified range-

“Hmm. That’s a problem. Before going to Kyrsian, it would be better to train like a real battle… Oh, then let’s go to the sea later and use the skill. If it’s a fish in the sea, it wouldn’t have gotten caught by the monster.”

-Sea! That’s a good way. There was no way to get to the sea, so I wasn’t thinking about it at all.-

“Me and Leah can go together. Then we’ll go later…”

-all right. I will train hard for that day and raise my skill level to a high level.

Jeongmin and Leah nodded their heads in satisfaction.

After talking with Liddell and Yamazaki a bit more, the two of them came out.

They decided to meet people they hadn’t met before since they had nothing to do other than wait for information about the awakened people in China.

When Yuri, Eunjin, and Minjun saw Jungmin and Leah, they were very happy and welcomed them.

When we first met, the children, who had been very skinny due to lack of nutrition, had gained considerable weight thanks to eating well, and were showing a look just like their age group.

Sitting beside Eunjin was ‘Soo’, a dove, as always. Its shape and size were completely different from when I saw it a couple of months ago.

He is as tall as a 5 or 6 year old child and has a sharp expression.

It was ‘Soo’, a dove that showed an appearance comparable to that of an eagle, thanks to having grown together according to the owner’s skill level.

Thanks to that, Eunjin was very proud of Sue, who could not stay in the room and flew outside the shelter to scout the surroundings.

Jeongmin and Leah, who sat in the room and talked for a long time, returned to their rooms when the sun was about to set.

They were two people who did not even notice the passage of time as they met people they had known for a long time and talked happily.

“It’s nice to have such a leisurely time after running hard.”

“Okay. Now that this has happened, think of taking a short break and rest well. Body and mind”

At Leah’s words, Jungmin nodded and smiled.

The two of them fell asleep while chatting casually in the dorm.

the next day too.

The two of them got up slowly and walked outside toward the training ground where the combat units were training.

I was planning to meet Jun-gi today.

A message appeared in front of Jung-min, who was excited about meeting his friend after a long time.

[One-time pass for all messages has been used for the region ‘Korea’. Would you like to confirm the message?]

“yes?”

Jung-min blankly stared at the message that popped up in front of him.

Looking at Jeongmin like that, Leah asked.

“Jungmin? What’s wrong?”

Jung-min answered Leah while staring into the sky.

“Ah.. I heard that a one-time ticket for all messages was used for Korea? What is this..”

“Ah, it’s a message pass. It’s an item you can buy at the store. I know it’s quite expensive… but it looks like someone is buying it. Check the message.”

“Ah yes.”

Jung-min raised his hand and pressed the message confirmation button.

[I am the great Chinese Xi’an Long. Currently, the strongest Awakeners and organizations in Thailand, Indonesia, and Japan are obliterated and subdued, and they are heading to the next stage, Korea. no matter who I won’t hesitate to challenge anyone who wants to stop me. It doesn’t matter what you use. If you think you lack the ability, it doesn’t matter if you use modern firearms. It doesn’t matter if you attack all at once if you think it’s impossible to do it alone. stop me If you block it, you will be able to defend Korea, otherwise Korea will become a dog of China. The point where I want to land is Busan, Korea. Come there.]

“…”

Jungmin stared blankly at the message in front of him.

Soon, Jung-min looked at Leah and said.

“This… a guy named Xianlong. Something is like a second grader.”

“2nd grade? What is it?”

“Ah.. um.. It’s not easy to explain this.”

Jung-min read the message he saw to Leah.

“Oh my. You sound like you’re full of confidence. If it’s Busan… it’s the place we passed through when we returned from Japan, isn’t it?”

“Yes, this is the place I arrived after crossing over from Tsushima. I should go to Busan.”

The two of them turned their steps back to the training ground and headed for the shelter manager’s room.

Jo Won greeted the two as if he knew they would come right away.

“I thought you would come. Did you check the message?”

“Yes, I’ve checked. I’ll leave for Busan right away. Contact other shelters and guilds and tell them that they’re doing well as usual. Tell them that they’ll solve it here.”

“Yes, all of that is possible, but it’s because it’s Busan…”

“Why Busan?”

Joe said as if he was embarrassed.

“Busan is a place far away from here, so [Daesung] no, it is a place where the influence of [Phugang], where the president of the Republic of Korea is a shelter, does not have much influence.

Well, it was [Trial of the Gods] where each of us lived, so we didn’t pay much attention to Busan either. I’ll borrow the name of [Phugang] to say it, but it’s very likely that he’s acting on his own.”

“Hmm.. Well, that can’t be helped. It would be nice if we didn’t get much damage. Anyway, we’ll go quickly. If we go quickly, we’ll be able to reduce the damage.”

“Yes, please. Shall we prepare the helicopter?”

“No. I’ll just go teleport. That’ll be faster.”

Joey nodded and said.

“The biggest force in Busan is [Gangwoo] Shelter. It’s probably the most likely that they’ll come out to fight. I recommend going there first.”

“Okay. I’ll go there.”

Jung-min and Leah left the shelter manager’s room after being greeted by Jo Won.

“I was going to meet Jun-gi, but something happened. I need to meet him after work. Shall we go then?”

Jung-min held out his hand to Leah, and Leah held her hand and said.

“Yes, please leave, Mr. Jung-min”

The figures of the two disappeared from their seats.
