Chapter 102 – 102. The Person Who Always Takes Care of Me
After removing all the accessories and items from the bodies of those I killed, I looked down at the corpses lying around for a moment.
“I ask for a deal.”
Now, a somehow familiar Infiji appeared before my eyes.
The transaction targets are five awakened people and five non-awakened people. Perhaps because it was 5 to 5, the numbers were perfect. Because you can get a blue reward box and 3 stat points without leaving any corpses.
It was a very fair deal where you get as much as you kill.
“I accept the deal.”
Soon, a blue reward box fell in front of me out of thin air. This is the era in which this absurd phenomenon is taking place.
Maybe it’s because we live in this day and age, but I don’t think there are any surprises anymore in most things.
“That’s why I should have just hid at home.”
After taking a quick look at the area where the dead people were lying around, I grabbed my bag and headed towards the shopping center where Kang Ji-yeon and her parents were hiding.
Zombies are coming, so it’s best to get out of here quickly.
Still, with my presence blocking and perception-impeding ring, the dark spirits are running in the opposite direction and causing a commotion, so aggro will not be drawn in this direction.
“Let’s see… “
I also took stat points on the way to the building where my companions were. As your stats increase, you can feel your stamina increasing and your strength becoming stronger in real time.
I think I can slowly catch up with Ayun. I want to quickly catch up with Ayuni, whose stats are constantly pumping as she begins exploring the infinite labyrinth.
“The skill is…”
I murdered ten survivors and gained a skill to give to Kang Ji-yeon’s parents. Since I don’t think it’s a waste to give anything else, I’m thinking of passing on the common body enhancement C grade.
From the looks of it, physical strengthening seems to be the most common skill.
“I also took their weapons..”
Among the weapons they had was the zombie slayer’s machete that we were carrying, as well as a few striking weapons such as the number 4 hitter’s bat.
It seemed like they were working as a team to conquer the labyrinth. Because there were more items than I expected. There were even several accessories such as the warrior’s old ring.
Now, you can cancel quality maintenance for items such as a warrior’s old ring that were previously subject to quality maintenance.
There is no need to waste quality maintenance slots on duplicate items. I think there should be a need to maintain quality on rare items, and there is no need to put a quality limit on items that have more than three items.
“Nothing else stands out…”
The weapons and accessories captured from their bodies were items that could be expected to some extent because they were the types of items we had seen so far.
However, we still don’t know what’s in the bag of the last guy we killed.
“It must have been something I bought at a labyrinth store..”
When I heard the clanging sound, it seemed like there were quite a few coins in there.
I think they probably sold a lot of things and bought something at the store beyond the purple gate..
Since I had to leave right now, I couldn’t check the contents of the bag, so I should go to where my companions are hiding and check the items.
“Whoa..”
As I cautiously approached the building, Kang Ji-yeon, who had been observing the situation outside, hurriedly came down and opened the entrance door.
“Thank you.”
“No.”
Kang Ji-yeon looked at the blood stains on her hands and arms, looking somewhat tired. No matter how she wiped it away, her hands were still covered in blood, probably because she killed someone so quickly.
It’s a shame because Saeyeon robbed several of her clothing stores and has hundreds of clothes to change into. Otherwise, we might have run out of clothes to wear right away.
“Whew. “What about you two?”
“Well… Go to the karaoke room on the second floor.”
“Okay? Let’s go up.”
I followed Jiyeon Kang up to the second floor. Kang Ji-yeon’s parents were hiding in the innermost room of the karaoke room at the end of the hallway on the second floor.
Since he is a non-competent person with no abilities right now, hiding is actually helpful.
“Oh, oh, you came..”
“Huh…”
Kang Ji-yeon’s biological father, who was sitting in her chair and looking at her desk with a slightly dazed expression, stood up in surprise when I came in, and Kang Ji-yeon’s biological mother slightly took a step back when she saw the blood on my body her her her her.
Both men were very disciplined. It seemed like Kang Ji-yeon had said something while I was away. Judging by her quick reactions, she wasn’t that bad.
Of course, I was a little annoyed by Kang Ji-yeon’s biological mother, who still reacted strongly to the blood on my hands… But since she must have been hiding in her supermarket without any external activities since the second day after her disaster began, such a reaction was understandable.
“Don’t be too surprised. This is a scene we will see many times in the future.”
“Ah.. Yes…”
“Hmm…”
I sat on her chair and drank the drink Jiyeon Kang brought me. When I asked her where she got it, she said she got it from the karaoke bar.
It seemed like the perfect drink when 3% was lacking.
“First, I’ll go inside for a moment before I give you two skills. Please wait a little longer.”
“Okay, please take your time.”
“…I’ll wait.”
It seemed like Kang Ji-yeon’s parents had decided to even use an honorific term for me. It’s still not bad. When someone respects me, it fills my small self-esteem.
First, I nodded to the three people and opened the infinite labyrinth.
I plan to hand over her memory storage skills to Saeyeon, who is having a hard time breathing in the memorization hell every night, and then bring her a random drink to awaken her.
******
As soon as she entered the base, she looked for Saeyeon. She wanted to give her the memory storage skill she got earlier and receive a random drink.
“Inho! I’m here! For a moment! “I’m going out!”
“Oh, I’ll go there.”
“Thank you for doing so!”
My older sister, along with Seunghee and Heejeong, was taking out her daily necessities that she had put in her inventory and organizing them by stacking them up in the room she had designated as her storage room.
You should take out the things you need for daily life in advance so you can use them right away.
Now that I think about it, she should have given the ice bullets she got earlier to not only Saeyeon but also Hyuna, but unfortunately, it looks like they are currently conquering the labyrinth.
“Wow.. Memory storage.. It’s amazing!”
“They say I get a bit of a headache…”
“Are you okay. “Just memorizing the notebook was enough to give me a headache.”
“Haha. That’s a good thing. Then.. Ah.”
As Saeyeon stretched out her hand to pass on her skill her to her older sister, she was unable to touch her willingly because of her blood her on her her hand her her her her.
Because if she puts her hand on her shoulder in this state, there will be blood on her sister’s her shoulder her her her.
“Inho, wait a minute. “I’ll wash her hands.”
“Ah. Yes..”
As I was a little embarrassed, Saeyeon smiled as if it was okay, then took out her wet tissue from her inventory and wiped away the blood on my hand as if it was nothing.
Then she took out her towel and scrubbed my face.
“It’s scary to walk around with blood on your handsome face. Well, I’ll bring you towels and wet tissues. “I clean it whenever I get the chance.”
“Yes, sister.”
Saeyeon knows what kind of blood is on my hands and face her.
She knows that I’ve been out there killing people again. Still, she doesn’t say much. It doesn’t even show up.
She just silently wipes away the blood and smiles.
You probably won’t completely understand how I feel. Still, I felt a little better when I saw them silently accepting it.
I guess I should say it’s not too bad because I feel like someone is taking care of me.
I don’t necessarily expect perfect understanding. Just accepting it is good.
Ayun is like that, Hyuna is like that, and Saeyeon is like that.
The three women try not to burden me as much as possible. I’m not sure if we discussed it in advance or not, but I can feel that they are trying to keep me from being stressed.
So it’s good. It’s nice that they don’t burden me by talking about morality. Rather, it’s nice to be praised for working hard for the team’s survival.
So I said thank you sincerely.
Even though the strangers I meet on the street are wild-haired monsters who slaughter everything they see, I am also a human being who can feel the emotions of love and gratitude and appreciation.
“Thank you.”
“Well, I have to do something like this. Hehe..”
Saeyeon laughed at my thank you and patted my arm with affection as if it was no big deal. She is small in stature and has small breasts, but her hugging power is high. Regardless of size, I feel like she is my older sister.
Now that I think about it, I like Ayun, who encourages murder rather than trying to stop her, and Hyuna who just follows along silently, but… I don’t think there is anyone who takes better care of me than Saeyeon.
“But sister. Is there anything missing? “I’ll bring it with me while I’m working outside.”
“Okay? Well… I don’t have enough water to wash. “I slowly used up everything I had saved.”
“I guess I should put it in a tank.”
“Yes, yes.”
I need to get some water from the large compressed water tank I got by opening the blue reward box last time. It is a good item as it can load up to about 5 tons and drastically reduces the weight.
Moreover, there is a water purification pump that purifies 1 liter of water with one lesser magic stone, so if you run it all day, you will be able to use clean water.
In addition, if you can attack the brainstormer’s workshop and penetrate the water tank, you will be able to use water through the tap in the bathroom and toilet in the living space.
So, if you supply water from outside, purify it inside, and transfer it to the water tank, you can immediately turn on the water and use it.
In short, the more you attack the Warlord’s attack and defense, the more you can unlock the base’s locked functions. Yeongsik took a look and confirmed that there was a boiler room downstairs, so to be honest, the battleground of the former brainer was the top priority.
‘But it’s too dangerous from the 3rd floor..’
Since crazy battle dolls crawled out from the 3rd floor, I decided to either go with me or hold off on attacking until everyone in the battle group reached survival level 10.
Just because you can’t use convenience facilities right away doesn’t mean you’ll die. It is better to focus on safety. More than anything, I’m a little worried about Ayun and Hyuna because they’re sending the group off without me..
‘For overall strengthening… I will have to work diligently…’
Since this has already arrived, I have to take a look at the blue reward box I got a while ago.
“Now that I think about it, I haven’t even opened what I received that day.”
“Yes?”
“I brought this to you the day I met my younger brother Sae-ah. I put it in my inventory and haven’t opened it yet. Wait for a second. “I’ll take it out now.”
“Ah..!”
I completely forgot. That day, I was too busy rescuing Yeong-sik and the others who were trapped in the obstetrics and gynecology ward, so after returning, I left them in the care of Sae-yeon and completely forgot about them.
I’m glad that my sister remembered it for me. Because I had so much to do going back and forth inside and outside the base, I couldn’t remember all the details.
“Sister, first get the memory stored.”
“Huh. Thank you.”
First, I handed over the memory storage to Saeyeon. Now, with this, the penalty of infinite inventory has completely disappeared.
In fact, I was quite worried because my sister had forgotten some of the items and they were lost, but it turned out okay.
“Then..”
While Saeyeon opened her notebook and stored the recorded items in her memory, I opened both blue boxes.
[Magic Stone Combiner: Combines magic stones of the same level and converts them into a higher level magic stone. As the grade increases, the number of magic stones required for transformation increases rapidly.]
[Liquid converter: When you insert the liquid to be converted into the inlet, it is converted into a registered liquid. Converting 1 liter consumes 1 Advanced Magic Stone. *Some liquids cannot be converted.]
“Oh…!!”
As expected, a blue reward box.
This time too, my expectations were not disappointed and amazing items popped out.
