20 – World 11. Career Choice (2)
“I’m sorry during the talk. Are you a new alien?”
Alien?
To guess, it seems to be a name for people who have crossed over to the connector.
‘It seems that people here are called aliens, not players.’
As I was about to nod, Karina quickly blocked my way and answered instead.
“Yes, that’s right. But don’t mind me, I’ll explain.”
In response to Karina’s answer, the priest who looked like he was in his 30s glanced at me and nodded.
“All right. Then, the people of the other world, please do your best.”
After the priest finished speaking, he retreated back to where the old clothes were folded, but still glanced at me.
It seemed to draw more attention than I thought.
But now, I was more curious about what Karina said.
“An explanation?”
“It’s an obvious word. Please save this continent. don’t hurt people At first, help the villagers raise their physical level.”
“ah.”
It was definitely an obvious statement.
Understanding, I nodded.
But Karina whispered in a voice so low that others couldn’t hear, as if she still had something to say.
“Mr. Lee Seong-min. Doesn’t the ability of all the equipment you’re currently wearing also go up?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry to say this, but what are your stats?”
I thought about it for a while when I asked about his abilities, but he told me, assuming that the regressor would have an idea.
“It’s all 781.”
“······Yes?”
“It’s a 781.”
Hearing my answer, Karina only blinked for a while, then opened her mouth wide.
“I, really? You’re not lying, is it really 781?”
“What are you doing lying about this?”
“…”
Karina looked at me with eyes filled with all sorts of emotions, including surprise, awe, and admiration.
Looking at the reaction, it seems that the number of 781 is ridiculously high.
Anyway, Karina, who looked at me for a long time, said it was okay, as if she had sorted out her emotions soon.
“It’s good. To the point where I would want to change all the plans I had made if Lee Seong-min allowed it.”
to the plan?
As Karina was a regressor, she must have made plans one by one.
However, he said he would change the whole plan after looking at my ability.
“How are you going to change it?”
“Can you help me?”
“I will help you if I can.”
When I readily accepted, she spoke briefly.
“I plan to gather players around Sungmin Lee. Ah, so, how about changing your tone and behavior to something arrogant?”
huh?
“Your way of speaking and your actions?”
“People look at the external part first. In that sense, Lee Sung-min now looks like a berserk covered in blood. You act accordingly.”
First of all, since I was wearing a full body armor including a helmet, my face was not exposed.
But Karina said that my appearance was terrifying.
“But is it necessary to do that?”
“Or will you respect me with that image? Besides, Lee Seong-min feels intimidated even when he is still, so just changing the way he speaks will have a significant effect.”
“…”
By the way, Karina’s appearance now was as if she had finally found the light after endlessly wandering in a dark cave.
As soon as he saw me, all sorts of plans seemed to pop into his head.
“I want Lee Seong-min to be the focal point of the players.”
Meanwhile, another door on the other side of the door from which I came out opened and a girl walked out.
A relatively petite build with white hair.
It was Ren.
As soon as Ren came out of the door, he looked around and saw Karina, but the priest approached him first.
In the hand of the priest who approached, there was a rag Karina was wearing right now.
When I logged in, I was naked, so it seemed like they were giving me clothes like that.
“Mr. Lee Seong-min?”
“Ah, yes. The focal point?”
“Currently, a single war breaks most friendly forces. In addition, the rest of the force eats the remaining members and is only filling their own stomachs.”
“In short, it means that we need someone to protect our friendly forces.”
I understood what you meant.
To put it simply, it was about gathering players with the goal of getting rid of the fog of death and increasing their strength.
“Of course, Lee Sung-min doesn’t have to worry about it. If you allow me, I will take care of it.”
Well.
it’s permission
Even though I am now armed with game items, if you ask me if I can do anything by myself, I have no choice but to shake my head.
It’s because all the 10 worlds I’ve been through have been tough.
If this place was similar to that world, it might be difficult.
Besides, most of my current abilities are sealed.
Thinking that it would be difficult to get through with my game skills and items, I decided to follow the confident Carina’s words without a second thought.
“Well, yes. It’s not difficult.”
“Don’t be respectful, speak up.”
“okay.”
“Sup. A little more arrogant and weighty.”
There was a lot to follow.
“… that’s right.”
When he said it in a low voice with a slight hint of resentment, Karina clapped her hands as if it were so.
“It is much better. Then go.”
“…”
I followed Karina, wondering if this was right in my heart, and headed to the place where Ren was.
“Priest. Since this is also my group, I will explain.”
“Well? Ah yes. Okay. Then please do your best.”
As soon as the priest saw me, following Karina, he flinched and hurriedly retreated.
Ren just stared at me in the armor.
Karina gave Ren a simple instruction.
“wren. It’s an employer order. From now on, you can serve Mr. Lee Seong-min like a respectful person.”
“Yes~”
Perhaps because of the word employer, Ren took it lightly.
“Come on, Mr. Lee Sungmin. Now let’s go choose a job.”
“… that’s right.”
“Is that the only thing you know how to say?”
With those words, Karina moved in front of the stone statue in the center.
In front of the stone statue, the three priests I saw at first were waiting.
“Well. What are you doing?”
“Mr. Lee Seong-min.”
Karina called me and stepped aside.
As originally planned, it seemed to mean to donate food and choose a job.
‘Can I just say that I will donate?’
I thought about what to say for a moment, then took a step closer to the priest and said,
“I want to choose a job.”
“Ah… do you mean your job? This temple accepts donations of 1 gold and 50 silver.”
1 gold 50 silver…
I don’t know how much money it was, but Hayden said it was about 1-3 gold, so I thought it was a reasonable price.
“Do you get food as a donation?”
Should I keep this tone to the priest anyway?
I glanced at Karina and she stood calmly.
Seeing that there were no words or restraints, it seemed that he wanted this.
“You mean food? Yes, we also receive food.”
Also, at the word food, the priest nodded urgently.
Without looking closely, the priests in this temple were all starving.
‘I feel like I want food more than money.’
Thinking, I opened the subspace and took out a bag of flour.
“20 kg of flour. Is this enough?”
When a bag of flour popped out of my subspace, the priest, who looked at it with a look of amazement, immediately nodded.
“Yes. That’s enough to make a career choice.”
When I said it was possible, I took out 79 sacks of flour, 10 sacks of sugar, and 10 sacks of salt each.
The priest couldn’t keep his mouth shut in surprise as he saw the sacks of sacks that were gradually piling up.
“I’ll check all jobs with this.”
“Ah… uh, but what is that bag?”
“sugar. Salt on the side.”
“Hut. Sugar and salt.”
Is sugar and salt hard to come by?
I looked at the priest for a moment, then took out Karina and Ren’s share.
240 sacks of flour, 30 sacks of sugar and salt.
After taking out 300 sacks of guns and stacking them up, I looked at Karina to ask what to do next.
Karina seemed to have noticed the meaning of my gaze and spoke directly.
“Priest. You have to open the door.”
“Ahh. Sorry. We will open it right now.”
The priest, who hastily regained consciousness, knelt down in front of the stone statue and began to pray.
Parbat!—
‘Five.’
Shortly after praying, an oval-shaped blue sphere appeared in front of the stone statue.
“Now you can go inside.”
Can I just go inside and choose a job?
Without hesitation, as I entered the blue sphere, a white light flashed.
Pod!—
‘Hmm.’
The inside, which came in with the light, was a pure white space with nothing, just like a temple, with only one stone statue.
[Nice to meet you, mortal.]
huh?
Moment.
A woman’s voice resounded in my head.
‘Could this be the sound coming from the stone statue?’
Thinking, I took a closer look at the stone statue.
Unlike the stone statues in the temple, the overall feeling was clean and new.
And in appearance, he was wearing a robe with a pattern engraved on it and holding a flame with both hands gathered in front of his chest.
However, my gaze turned to the huge presence felt beyond the stone statue.
[I am Mernes, the goddess of fire and purification. I watched with interest what you showed me at the temple.]
I didn’t know how to respond, but I decided to do what I normally do.
“Are you deciding on a job here?”
[Yes. You say you want to see all the power of destiny bestowed upon you? I am also curious about your fate.]
Faaat!—
At that time, dozens of lights… No, 100 lights appeared around the stone statue and me.
[The food you donated to the temple. I’ll unlock all 100 lights with that food. Would you agree?]
“I agree.”
[Then I will reveal all of your fate.]
At that time, 100 lights floating around had their own color.
From white to green, blue, purple and finally golden.
‘Did you say that jobs range from 1 to 5 stars?’
At first glance, white was the most common.
I mean, it took about 30 of them.
Green and blue were next in line, and the rest of the purples and golds totaled less than 20.
[Surprised.]
At that time, the goddess called Mernes said that it was amazing.
[First of all, there is no future in your destiny. There is only past and present. That fact alone is surprising, but there are not just one or two brilliant achievements in the past.]
“A brilliant achievement?”
[Can you see the golden light? It points to your brilliant achievements. And there are as many as 7 achievements.]
7 of them…
First of all, I guessed why I couldn’t see the future.
It is because I made a contract with the Creator God and escaped from my destiny.
The next 7 brilliant achievements must have been done in the dimension you have been through so far.
[Can you see?]
“I will.”
[good. I’m also curious.]
As soon as the words were finished, seven golden lumps of light flew in front of me.
