Chapter 21 – Chapter 5 (1)

“Huh haam~~”

Woo deuk duduk!

After sleeping in a reasonably priced inn, I woke up and felt the sound of my bones resonating in my joints as I relaxed.

‘It was stinky and dirty. Shall we just camp out?’

I can’t seem to sleep because of the combination of a blanket that I don’t know if it’s washed properly and a duvet that smells of mold.

‘First of all, breakfast for luck.’

After loosening up my body properly, I immediately sat cross-legged, and involuntarily laughed.

‘As soon as you wake up and your body is relaxed, you’re lucky. I’m done with Moorim, too.’

The best thing to learn martial arts is sleep.
A person needs 6-8 hours of sleep to relieve fatigue.
But there were times when even this time was wasted.
Sometimes there are too many things I want to do.

After learning internal energy, my sleep time was reduced to 4-5 hours.
In addition, if you become more advanced, you can sleep for 1 to 2 hours a day, or once every few days.

“Whoa…”

After going around Sojucheon through the black myeongsim method, I reflected on yesterday’s fight.

After dealing with them, selling the skins I collected, and gathering information by going around to buy herbs, I found out that they are second-class warriors, nicknamed the Seomseo Dogs.

The four of them always go together, they can defeat first-class samurai through passing techniques, and they have lived until now because they throw away their pride and everything and run away if there is a strong enemy that is difficult to handle.

In other words, I won lightly against four second-rate samurai.

‘Then it means I’m somewhere between second and first class.’

It is said that it takes two years to become a first-class martial artist, assuming that even Sapa, who is unstable but has a fast growth rate, has talent.

However, if I, who learned the martial arts of a second-rate school for half a year, would be at this level, people would be very frightened.

‘It would be better not to inform the time I learned martial arts.’

The only person I have revealed is Seollin Hong.
Honestly, back then I had to say something to talk to her.

To be honest, if others see it, it may seem like a mistake, but it was well worth it from my point of view, having enjoyed her pussy.

Maybe it’s because I learned martial arts, but my pubic area was so fucking chewy.
Ah~ I want to train my martial arts more quickly and leave to find my first talent.

For reference, there are a total of 4 gears that I have noticed.

The first is a hideout for fireworkers deep in the Jinling Mountains located in the Xi’an region.

Hwagong, a Moorim person from 200 years ago and an excellent blacksmith, is said to have created a new soldier with unique abilities through blacksmithing techniques using internal energy, unlike ordinary blacksmiths.

No matter how excellent a craftsman is, making a sword that is just very hard and has good cutting power is the limit, but a fireman created something similar to a magic weapon through the power of his inner workings.

The painter, who is also an excellent miner, took shelter in a place with high-quality ore veins, and the results of all kinds of research were created there until his death.

What I want are those results.
Instead, in order to obtain the result, there is a condition that more than a certain amount of internal energy must be poured into the weapon while making it.

I plan to get the skills to make all sorts of new recruits there, and even make the necessary tools as an assistant instructor.

I was a little bored because I didn’t have the tools I used to use.

Based on the new power gained from the Hwagong’s hideout, he plans to find other talents and learn them all.

To be honest, after going there, you can safely develop your internal energy and gain a chance.

But wouldn’t that be fun?
At this time or when will you roll from the bottom like this?
These experiences are the foundation for me.

To be honest, I was yearning for a trip like this.
Free travel to go wherever you want without any restrictions.

After finishing my luck in the morning, I headed to a little expensive restaurant and came out with a moderately full stomach.

Maybe it’s because it’s a big city, but I’m paying for the food.
It was still far from my taste though. It’s chewy.
Yesterday, I checked all over Jangan, so starting today, let’s roll with the request of a ronin myself.

After selling off the hides and packing up my belongings, I headed straight to the Nangin meeting place.

However, the atmosphere was a bit different than usual.
Ordinary people gathered and whispered among themselves, and the warriors were wary of something.

What is this?
Did the mood change all of a sudden?
I quietly headed towards the people who were whispering among themselves.

“Since the golden worm has arrived, the merchants’ shit lines will burn.”
“The wealthy said they were busy hiring talented ronin.”
“Well, isn’t it something that has nothing to do with us, who always take only money for gold bugs?”

Golden bug?
I seem to remember something…
I must have found that name while looking for information on the internet.

Tsk. This game is a problem because there is too much information.
Golden beetle… Golden beetle… I seem to remember something, but I can’t remember.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have written down what I remembered as soon as I moved to the dimension.

After listening closely, everyone else was talking about the Golden Bug.
Oh, I remembered a little.

The Golden Bug is a thief who steals anything worth money.
Stealth and Gyung Gong are unconditionally among the top five characters in this Fengwoon Moorim.

And… And… Oh shit, I don’t remember.
My perception has faded from looking at the information for so long, and I can’t remember it well because I’m busy learning martial arts.

Originally, I’m not the type to learn by reading and memorizing things, but by feeling them.

At least, there are two characters that I remember because I was interested, and the location of the four trains and detailed information are the clearest memories.

‘For now, let’s just pay attention to the situation in front of us.’

No matter how much I think about it, there is no answer.
Right now, the priority is to develop a sense of real combat while doing my job as a writer.

Leaving behind the information about Hwanggeumchung, I headed to the Nangin Meeting Hall.
As expected, it’s buzzing with news about the Golden Bug.
Most of the content is about how much the bounty is in gold.
The rest was part of the request.

“It’s been covered by a guard request.”

Requests for security from rich wealthy people and large-scale stores are pouring in.

In addition, the difference between yesterday’s security compensation and today’s security compensation was more than twice.

Thanks to that, the ronin think they’ll be able to earn some money in a while, so you and I are all taking on guard requests.

‘It feels strange.’

But I felt a strange strange feeling.
Let’s think The great sword called the golden bug has appeared.
But will he reveal himself as crazy?
Of course you cover your face when you steal, right?

OK, here’s the problem.
How the hell did anyone know that the golden bug was floating in Jangan?
If Golden Chong was caught by someone, he would run away if he ran away from Chang’an, he would never stay.

However, the rumor is that ‘the golden worm is coming to Jangan’.

‘There’s something.’

The feeling comes.
There is a ‘truth’ different from rumors here.
It’s an organization conspiracy with the power to spread rumors.

As the evidence, in my head that enjoyed the reverse x trial, ‘I have objections!’ It’s rushing incessantly!

‘The question is, what benefit can I get from this…’

As of now, I can’t find an answer due to lack of information.
Oh shit There seems to be some kind of fun event going on, but I can’t catch it.
I can’t help it. If I become a munchkin later, I can enjoy this kind of event as much as I want, so I have no choice but to put up with it for now.

‘It’s just a matter of getting a proper security request.’

Currently, there is nothing to do but request security.
It’s not a matter of reward, because the quests to fight are mostly concentrated in the upper ranks.
Besides, it’s the atmosphere where Sapa and Jeongpa have been quiet for the first time in a while, right?
In the past, even a wooden pike was hired to fight, but now there are not many requests that a wooden pike can do.

As a result of snooping around and checking the requests on the bulletin board, I received a request to guard a small store that buys and sells goods in the West Station.

The money was on the lower side than other guard quests, but the best thing about this quest is that it only picks one person.

When I’m working, I’m comfortable alone.

After receiving the request, I went straight to the store because I was told to talk directly to the client and listen to the guard time.

Thanks to walking around Janganseong all day yesterday, I was able to arrive at the store straight away without being in a hurry.

With my daughter-

“Welcome.”

Inside was greeted by a slightly overweight, greasy, middle-aged man.

“I came here with a request for security.”
“Losing?”

I handed over a wooden plank.

“I just became a ronin, so I’m going to have a neck. If you doubt your skills, it’s okay to show it yourself.”
“Hmm…”

The shop owner looked at my name and level written on the wooden plaque, thought about something, and then nodded.

“You look pretty confident. Let’s not waste our time bothering each other. I’ll hire you.”
“The security time was written in the contents to discuss with you.”
“The place to be guarded is the back door of this building. The time is from hash (9:00 PM to 11:00 PM) to the next day’s Jinshi (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM). When you complete the request, you will receive a hermit.”

1 hermit
I didn’t know it before, but as a result of checking the value of currency while walking around Jangan, it was confirmed that the cost of living for a year for an ordinary citizen was one and a half hermits.

Being on guard for only a few hours while getting a few months’ worth of living wages is something the ronin would love.

As far as I can tell, the currency unit is in the order of pennies -〉 jeon -〉 nyang -〉 gold. Unlike modern times, silver is used as a transaction currency, so the value of money changes depending on the value of silver, so 10 pennies is 1 jeon. It is impossible to simply calculate that 10 jeon equals 1 nyang.

Sometimes, one hermit is 1200 pennies, and sometimes it is 1800 pennies, so it is difficult to explain the value of money in a modern way.

“Inside the building? There must be a front door?”
“I eat and drink on the second floor. And I lock the lock on the inside. Unless I shout for help, stand guard at the back door until then.”
“Then check the back and come back when the time is right.”
“Yes.”

Come. The feeling comes.
The feeling of being conspired by someone.

Hey. Isn’t it too blatant to say that the great sword has arrived, but to hire only one ronin to stand guard and finish it?

Besides, I didn’t feel a sense of danger in this store owner’s voice.

The fact that there is no sense of crisis means that he did not even think about being robbed of things by Golden Bug.

Of course you can.
Since Golden Chung robs rich people, he must have judged that a small merchant like himself was not worth robbing.

Still hiring ronin?
In the first place, I hired Ronin for a different purpose.
I don’t know what its purpose is.
What is clear is that the ronin were deployed here and there…

Damn, also lack of information.
It feels like Extra A who can’t get into the main event.

But whatever happens, just try to get into my eyes.
I’ll show you what Extra A’s rebellion is.

I headed straight for the back door of the store to check where I was supposed to be for eight hours.

Free space for a few people.
A long back alley.
Facades of dilapidated buildings.
And some dirty filth.

But I didn’t stop there and checked my surroundings more closely.

If what I’ve been thinking so far isn’t the nonsense of a conspiracy theorist who has read a lot of fantasy and martial arts novels, shouldn’t we secure at least one escape route?

“Are you thinking of going to the casino today too!? When the hell are you going to wake up, you man!”
“Huh?”

What? Couple fighting?
From the private house five steps ahead of the back door, a woman’s voice was heard.

“I feel really good today! It’s great!”
“You said that yesterday and everything was robbed! Anyway, I’m not giving you any more money! I can’t!”
“This woman is real! Give me the money quickly! Quickly!”

It’s an obvious situation that the man is addicted to gambling, causing conflict between husband and wife.

It’s such an old story on TV that it doesn’t come out these days.

I started looking closely around the back door, looking for a way out in case of an emergency.

‘If I tried to run away, I would have to step on the roof of a private house and run away, right? No matter how you look at it, there is a hole through which to escape…’

Well… Knock… Knock…

‘Hmm?’

At that time, I picked up a very familiar sound.

It’s also my Igong (Hearing) 100, so I can hear the small sound.

– Heo-eok! Omg… ! Seed… Fuck… Fuck… What to do What should I do?-

The sound of something being stabbed.
A woman’s groaning sound.
A man’s urgent voice.

Thinking just in case, I quickly climbed onto the roof of a nearby private house and carefully propped myself down.

Squeak…

The back door of the private house where the couple had quarreled opened cautiously, and a man carefully looked around.

Then, he carefully appeared with a sack containing something.

A violent quarrel between a couple, a voice that suddenly became quiet, and a man who came out with something carefully in a sack.

Evidence of this level is overflowing, and if you don’t know the answer, you can’t know it.
But it just worked out.

“Hook! Hook!”

The man exhaled a very rough breath and tried to go somewhere by lifting the floor with all his might.

I’m thinking of throwing it out of the castle, or in an uninhabited outlying area.

Well, think of getting paid for your sins.

Thinking so, I jumped and landed on the back of the man trying to get out of the alleyway.

“Hick!? Who…!”

Segal neck twist!

Pudeuk!

Grabbing his neck with force and twisting it off, I entered his back door.

The interior of the house exudes the feeling of being a poor poor house.

I put the two corpses roughly in a corner.
As time passes, it will rot and smell, but I will use it for a day and throw it away.

‘By the way, when characters kill people in their creations, they have nightmares or feel guilty, but I’m not okay?’

Even when I killed the man from earlier, I was hungry, so I lightly snapped his neck as if I was eating.

He had killed a few people before, but it was hard to feel anything other than that it was fun.

‘Well, I felt that my personality was different from other people’s, but I never imagined that I would be a sociopath this far.’

If the modern age I lived in was a world where monsters appeared and abilities were awakened like in fantasy novels or modern fantasy novels, what kind of life would I live?

Well, if you think about it anyway, the answer is obvious.
First of all, I would have been looking for a woman.

By the way, I needed a safe place to do fortune-telling, so I can do it here.

After checking to see if there was anything to eat in the house, I started doing fortune-telling until the right time.

I’ll be bored during guard time, so I’ll finish it in about an hour until guard time.

I went into Sojucheon while circulating the energy in my body.
It’s not a bad feeling to be in this trance.
