I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 26

I Am the Only Non-Returner 26

26 – As a reward, I put a ring on it.

This woman named Hongseol was not only tall, but her body and face were also outstanding among the women I had ever seen in my life.

‘Is this what it feels like when you meet a celebrity?’

She seemed arrogant and had quite high self-esteem, similar to the image she felt when exchanging messages.

“Is there a reason you decided to come?”

I was just curious. She must have had quite a few offers. Is it simply because of the value of my name?

“Is it just a feeling?”

There is no special reason.

“I plan to assign accommodation based on combat contribution. I can’t just increase it.”

“Oh, of course. Rather, I would like to ask you to continue to maintain that stance.”

“Is there a reward you want? Actually, I don’t think I can give you anything other than points.”

“Points are good, but I wish they would give me authority…”

“What about authority?”

“Authority to command people.”

······

“More clearly”

“Someone who will take care of me. Like a manager I can entrust with simple chores?”

Huh… I didn’t think of this.

“Let’s first watch the battle and then talk again.”

“Ah~ Well, it’s probably the best~ Okay then.”

He crossed his long legs and looked me up and down, but something didn’t feel right, so he walked away and said.

“The rest of the explanations will be given by other friends. Then.”

“Ugh~ Okay”

Stop-

I was about to get up, but when I sat down again, I leaned forward towards her and looked straight into her eyes and said,

“Hong Seol… I don’t know when we’re alone, but at the shelter hall, you call me and have an attitude… Do you understand?”

When I spoke with strong determination, she instantly froze and responded with difficulty.

“…Uh, ah, I understand…”

After seeing that she was shaking her fists and avoiding my gaze, I went to her kitchen and started eating.

‘It’s delicious again today, but you should add a little salt to the food.’

It was something between soybean paste stew and kimchi stew, and the taste was amazing. The couple’s words that they can make delicious food with ingredients that are not available have been proven. This alone made me think that it was enough value for the couple.

“···Shelter director, this is a big problem.”

“What is it?”

Hyuna Kim comes to me with her serious face and speaks.

“··· The application for competition is not coming.”

“······”

‘Check record.’

Team match 0 wins 0 losses

Daejeon Battle 1 win 0 loss

If you look at this alone, there is nothing special, but when you select the battle, information appears showing that you won the battle against Team Lingling.

I’m sure everyone remembers the fame of being ranked #1 by myself, but since I beat Lingling, the team currently ranked highest in overall points, it’s not worth applying.

“Let’s apply.”

“…Would you just hand over the authority to apply to me? I’ll make sure to fill it out 10 times a day.”

‘That also works. Well… I guess it’s right that Hyuna is in charge of this.’

“Do not apply for an hour before the battle begins. You must also get plenty of rest.”

“··· Keep that in mind.”

If you apply number 10 and the other person rejects it even by paying points, you will be able to accumulate 10,000 points every day.

– Resident Hyuna Kim requested permission to apply for shelter in Daejeon. Would you like to hand over authority? Y/N

“I pass it on.”

– Resident Hyuna Kim has been granted the authority to apply for shelter in Daejeon. Hyuna Kim has been promoted to manager level.

‘Oh?’

Administrators are excluded from contribution level measurement, and points can be used according to the highest contributing person in the shelter.

‘Aha-‘

Focus on your mission instead of focusing on your combat contribution. It’s quite reasonable.

“Thank you. I’ll do my best. And that new girl. Do you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“They say she’s a pretty famous celebrity.”

“··· Is that so?”

‘I guess he was a real celebrity. I don’t watch TV much because I mainly read web novels and games, but I know a few famous celebrities… Is he a rookie?’

And as I look at Hongseol, I walk leisurely around the shelter and touch various places with my hands. It looks like they are checking for dust. And the remaining iron and her uncle were hovering near her as if possessed.

“Wow~ Now a celebrity is coming to our shelter-“

Kahi and Eunchae came next to us and started eating together.

“That person is a famous celebrity.”

“It’s not very famous, but a few movies and dramas have been popular recently. One of the dramas even won an award overseas.”

“I see.”

“I heard you talking earlier. You said you were asking for some kind of attendant, is that correct?

“That’s right”

“Wow, you’re a very worthy master. You’re not really going to listen to something like that, are you?”

“···”

Beside Kahi, Eunchae also looks at me closely.

“If you don’t want to receive points or equipment… You have to think positively. Of course, there has to be someone who wants to serve you.”

“Wow, that person’s number of followers could increase a lot. Even now, if you see me behind you, you’ll be chasing me around and trying to talk to me.”

“We decided to talk after watching the battle. Let’s watch a few stages.”

“Cheeet… I have to try, but how much can I do…”

“Hmm – Kahi, is there anything you wish for?”

“Nothing”

······

“It’s too sharp”

“There is, but I’m not going to say it now… If you want to give it to me, you can buy me some items later. From the stage 20 boss, even if you hit my spear, you won’t die in one hit. Well, it’s different now than back then… And Stage 25 That bastard…”

Whenever the topic of stage 25 comes up, his face darkens, but I only heard the story roughly. A magical beast with huge wings, but flying wasn’t the problem.

Phase 2.

‘I heard that everyone was killed without being able to do anything to the person who transformed…’

After a while, I saw that everyone had finished eating and shouted to the people.

“Everyone, gather around.”

People gathered around the sofa.

‘Wow – now that we’re all together, we can’t even sit on the sofa.’

In the end, I stood up and spoke.

“Thank you for your hard work over the last 10 stages. Everyone is using points based on their contribution, but I felt that there should be additional compensation for those who have particularly high contributions or are active.”

It’s a little embarrassing to make a comment like this as soon as Hong Seol comes, but it would be better to do what you think is necessary right away.

“In this boss battle, I defeated the boss alone, and I would like to give an accessory to Shin Ga-hee, who is currently the top contributor. If you have any opinions on this, please let me know.”

People begin to mutter. This is probably because there is only one trinket we can currently buy.

Spillier Mauve Stone Ring

– A ring made by crafting mauve stone, which is mined in very small quantities at the Spillier Mine. The extremely beautiful glow has the effect of stabilizing the mind and body.

– Magic Power+55

Price: 199,800P

“Hey, shelter director, I have a question for you?”

Hongseol was the first to open up.

“Are you saying you have 200,000 points?”

“Yes.”

– hehehehe?

– Didn’t we now exceed 150,000?

– What is it?

People were looking at me and telling me with their eyes to speak quickly.

Points held: 866,092

“Even if we add up all the stage clear rewards we’ve collected so far, we won’t be able to get the ring. But if you add up the points I originally had, it’s enough.”

From Noble mtl dot com

“···Are the characteristics of the shelter director related to the supply and demand of points?”

Director Ahn Eun-hye said with a meaningful expression.

‘He must be keen because he was the director of a shelter.’

“Yes, my characteristic is related to the supply and demand of points. However, I am restricted from telling other people, so please understand.”

Of course, there are no restrictions, but it’s okay to say this much. There would be no way for anyone to check.

– Oh- As expected-

– So, I told you last time-

Some people were seen nodding their heads as if they knew something. In particular, Hongseol was staring at me with a very satisfied expression.

‘Is this enough compensation? But I don’t know if you can outperform Kahi.’

“Starting from stage 20, we plan to give the desired compensation to the three people who contributed the most in each 10 stages. This time, only Kahi will go forward.”

“H-? Are you giving it to me right away?”

-199,800P

Points held: 666,292

‘I feel like I’ve suddenly become poor. Oh, it’s cold.’

After purchase, a translucent light-colored ring was held in my palm.

– Wow~

The light was so beautiful and dazzling that people let out exclamations of admiration without even realizing it. Shin Ga-hee hesitantly got up and walked towards me.

‘Pretty! Stylish! Shin Ga-hee!’

I had no choice but to look pretty. If the future of our shelter is a spirit, the present is a diva.

‘Hmm… But wouldn’t it be better if I put this in?’

Just putting it on the palm of my hand somehow didn’t seem to fit the current mood.

Gahi is standing in front of me, hesitant.

‘Why is he acting so different than usual?’

I took Kahi’s left hand and roughly put it on the finger that seemed to be the right size for the ring.

“Thank you for your hard work, Kahi.”

Then, at first, people applauded with an applause, but the applause gradually died down, and for a moment, silence came to the shelter.

‘Hmm? Why?’

I said, scratching the back of my head because I didn’t know what to say.

“··· We have decided to end the ceremony like this, and since there is not much left until the battle begins, let us all return to our seats.”

– Uh… Yes.

– You can do that and that-

– It doesn’t matter, right…

– Oh my… Gahi…

‘No, people, let’s work, it’s embarrassing for no reason.’

Equipment rewards with too many points may be a bit odd. This time we will treat it as a special case, and from now on we will divide it appropriately…

– Swish!

‘Hmm?’

I saw Kahi quickly running to the bathroom.

‘It’s not something like an upset stomach, is it?’

Drinking water pollution level 3/100

‘I take care of my drinking water every day… I guess it’ll be okay.’

But suddenly I saw Eunchae running towards her room.

‘Ugh… I can’t help it, Eunchae… If the shelter is to run, compensation must be certain.’

I feel confused, but I have to endure it…

“Captain, if I make it to the top three, please tap me on the shoulder with the sword.”

Euncheol has read too many fantasy novels

“Yes, I understand.”

– Hee hee- Yap!

Cute guy. Captain Wilson, isn’t your unit in a very good mood? The new recruit is so lively hahahaha

···

“Over there”

“Yes, Mr. Hongseol.”

“By any chance, compensation doesn’t include things like that, does it?”

What does this mean…

“You mean something like that?”

“······Oh, no, no!”

She shook her head vigorously and moved to the wall near her portal.

‘What is that… I will be keeping a close eye on you today. ‘You’d better come to your senses.’

She was pulling the bowstring against her wall. A low-level bow that she received as a contribution from the existing shelter.

‘The cost of the equipment has been solidified.’

And fortunately, Eun-chae and Ka-hee came out a while later.

– Swish-tuk-!

‘Uh-huh – was I blocking the road?’

Eun-chae passed me and took a seat in front of the sphere, and Kahi also took a seat next to her with a ring on her finger.

‘Hmm – but today you were taken at a place far away from me… Wouldn’t it be a good idea to move your seat?’

“Go Ok-ja, please change your location midway and cause confusion.”

“Oh yeah! I’ll take care of it.”
