‘Man is an animal of adaptation.’
I don’t know the source, but I think it’s perfectly true.
[Lowest Rewards]
[Lower Rewards]
[Do you want to use the cards?]
I’m in the middle of a crazy phenomenon right now.
Nevertheless, given the situation, I felt more anxiety rather than expectations. It seems that the stress I have been receiving has been considerably high.
An adventure in a dream that is out of my daily life stimulates a forgotten childhood innocence, and the rewards of the adventure lead to reality. This is simply fantasy.
“All right.”
I used two reward cards.
[You have used your lowest reward card]
[You have used a lower reward card]
Like a random box of mobile games full of gambling energy, two rewards appeared, showing off their colorful effects.
[You earned 50,000 won]
[Mana increases by 2]
“Huh?”
I earned 50,000 won with the lowest level reward and 2 Mana stats, which is for my ability, with the lower level reward.
Mana hasn’t bothered me as much as I don’t know how to use it yet, but what’s surprising is that 50,000 won came from the lowest level reward card even though it’s the same grade as yesterday.
It was 10,000 won yesterday and 50,000 won today.
They said it was random, but isn’t there a big difference?
“I just woke up, and I can’t believe I made 50,000 won.”
It’s not that bad.
No, it’s very nice.
Thanks to this, I thought I could make a living without working.
It’s 30,000 won a day, combining yesterday and today.
It’s not much considered as a daily wage, but if the dream continues, the reward may grow.
I smirked and shook my head.
It’s not like me to cling to an uncertain future.
I decided to consider it just a funny side income.
“Well……. I’m actually in good condition. There’s no scar on the soles of my feet.”
It was the same as yesterday, but when I wake up from that dream, I felt extremely better.
In addition, the fact that my foot was injured during the chase with Goblin was fine showed that an injury in the dream did not affect reality.
But I don’t know what will happen if I experience death in my dreams, so I’ll try my best to save myself.
And there is one thing I needed to check.
“ID.”
It was whether the functions available in the dream also apply in reality.
“It seems that It can’t be done.”
Maps, including the ID function, can not be implemented in reality.
It is impossible to confirm whether the increased abilities apply to reality because they are focused on Intelligent and mana.
For now, only the money earned by dreaming and the refreshing feeling of waking up are bonuses.
“But where is this?”
Still, the real-life adventure was very suspicious.
Of course, it’s suspicious, and I don’t know who the hell is doing this to me and for what reason, but I don’t have much to complain about.
“I’m curious about the purpose, but…….”
Should I visit a shaman or a pastor with this case?
Even if I investigate this phenomenon, I will not be able to get anything realistically.
“Let’s eat.”
I don’t have a specific schedule today.
On days when I don’t have a schedule, I’m usually stuck in a nearby library, but for now, I’ll collect survival-related information at home today.
***
[Would you like to deposit 50,000 won?]
Just in case, I stopped by the bank to make sure that the 50,000 won I got as a reward was not a real bill, and I have no problem in using them.
“Oh, who is this?”
And as I left the bank after finishing my business, I heard a familiar voice behind my back.
When I turned my head to greet him, there was a face that I would never forget.
“Team Leader Park.”
He was my former boss and team leader Park Sang-ho, who always cared about me.
He was probably the one who did the most to blame me for the crime, when in fact it happened internally.
“Hey, I’ve heard that Jihoon lives in Sadang-dong, but I didn’t expect to see you at the bank at this time? Given that you came to the bank at this hour, you must not have gotten a job yet?”
I snorted and shrugged at the sight of this person.
“If you’re not good enough, you should have a good personality.”
“It’s because of the team leader who was jealous of my performance.”
He is no longer my boss, so I don’t have to hide my words.
Team leader Park’s eyes wriggled at my answer, but soon laughed and said.
“Well, Jihoon did a pretty good job. What are you doing then? I’m still working and Jihoon is fired. Work-life isn’t about people who are capable, but to people with wits?”
“I see. I hope you’ll continue to wag your tail to your superiors like dogs.”
The unemployed and the head of the working team of a well-known conglomerate.
It is an incomparable position, but there is no need to be daunted.
It’s not like his rank can hurt me.
“Yeah, at least say what you want. It’s going to be hard. Which company would hire a person who was fired due to internal corruption a year and a half after joining the company?”
I didn’t feel very happy to see his face so excited saying whatever he wanted.
The insult I felt was not so small as to be filled with jubilation for retorting him with words.
His voice was raised and we were getting a lot of people’s attention.
I felt foolish to deal with Team Leader Park anymore, so I took a step with a smile, while he kept making fun of me on my back.
“Why don’t you lower your standards? I think a factory or a construction site would be fine.”
I’m the one who’s going to get a job, why is he making a fuss?
“Well.”
As I left the bank, one question arose, I quietly turned my head and asked the team leader, who was flushed.
“By the way, why do you hate me so much?”
Team Leader Park who bothered me throughout my career.
I’ve talked back to him a few times when I was a freshman, but I’m not that hostile.
“…….
When I asked him, he stared my way and said with a cold expression.
“How can you be treated so well when you look at a person like a fool and ignore him on a new topic? I couldn’t understand it.”
As I narrowed my eyes like I don’t understand English, he nervously pushed past me.
“What an idiot.”
Why is the assailant pretending to be the victim?
I hardly understood what he was saying.
This is because after understanding the company’s system, I have never openly complained to the big boss.
‘If you complain, you lose more than you gain.’
I don’t even know that much.
“Come to think of it, Cho-hee and Woo-chan said something similar.”
I remembered what my two friends said yesterday when they left for a drink first.
Saying that I ignored and looked down on them.
Would it be my fault if some people felt this way even if I didn’t mean it?
Or should I say their credentials?
It was a situation that was not easily understood by me.
“I hope I get a curse as a reward later so I can curse him.”
As I went to bed again today, it led me to a fantasy world in my dream again.
What’s embarrassing, however, is that the soles of my feet, which were injured in yesterday’s chase with Goblin, were intact in reality, but there are still wounds here.
Fortunately, because the herbs that the chief applied worked, there was no pain, and the wounds were scabbed, so I had no problem walking.
Today, I’m going to investigate many things in my dream.
As this situation is no longer temporary, it is necessary to grasp the principles of this dream.
How long I can stay in my dreams and so on.
What happens if I don’t complete the quest.
When I fall asleep or wake up, how things go over here, etc.….
There’s a lot to check.
-Knock knock
“Jihoon, are you awake?”
With a knock, the voice of the village chief of Karas was heard from outside the door.
“Yes.”
Then the chief entered the inn room.
The chief, checked my face first and somehow put on a look of bewilderment.
“I’m sorry to doubt you yesterday, but the wizard, who was on a trip, just came back. So I showed him the list of authentic products, and he said everything was fine.”
“That’s a relief.”
Maybe the situation was pre-arranged to be like this?
But I was interested in the existence of a wizard.
I asked, looking at the chief who was visibly relieved.
“Are wizards good at counting?”
He responded to me whether he thought my question was out of the blue and why I asked him something obvious.
“The wizard itself is a scholar. He doesn’t compare with the residents of this remote village. And magic is closely related to mathematics, so he can calculate it just by looking at it like you.”
Magic is deeply related to mathematics?
I’m now more interested.
Among the many subjects I learned at school, I was most confident in math. (TL: Me too)
“Maybe I can meet the Wizard?”
How good would it be if I were to learn magic?
Chief shook his head firmly at my question.
“I’m sorry, but he is not a person that can be casually met. A wizard status is not different from an aristocrat.”
I think the chief gets a lot of help from the wizard.
I don’t think they treat each other like a friend from the way he talks and is the chief’s position higher than I thought?
Well, I don’t have to bite off when he said no.
Moreover, I was an outsider.
“What are you going to do now?”
A day or two of goodwill, but he won’t be able to keep looking after me for a long time.
The chief’s question also meant what would I have to do after I felt better.
“Can I stay in town for a few days? I don’t have a set purpose right now, so I want to know more about here.”
“Yeah, I’ll offer you for free a bed and a meal by today. Instead, please understand that we have no choice but to receive the price from tomorrow. Anyway, this inn is a commercial facility.”
“That’s enough.”
After that, I was able to figure out the monetary unit through a conversation with the chief.
Iron coins, copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and platinum coins are used here, with 10 iron coins equal to 1 copper coin, 10 copper coins equal to 1 silver coin, and 10 silver coins equal to 1 gold coin.
As the value of metals that make up money is all different, high-value money maintains its value by mixing several metals.
Thanks to this, gold coins were much higher valued than copper.
For your information, copper is the only metal that doesn’t have any of its metal mixed in.
“Then I’ll be going. Stay free.”
“Thank you.”
The five silver coins I received yesterday after completing the chief’s quest were a considerable amount of money.
In general, it was money that commoners could only earn only after a month of hard work.
Considering that the daily fee for the inn was three copper, including meals, it was the amount that could last more than two weeks without doing anything.
“By the way.”
[Quest Occurred]
Rating: E
Contents: Hunting 5 Goblin
Rewards: Lower Rewards Cards, Slaughter Skill
I frowned at the quest that occurred while talking to the chief.
The first quest is to reward skill.
But the difficulty of the quest has never been the same.
