chapter 42
[Episode 10] Busan Station (1)
‘It would be perfect if I gave positions to Dabin Kim and the public facilities management team.’
The original weekly wage of 700,000 won and the employee’s daily wage of 100,000 won exactly matched.
Now you don’t have to hand them money while taking off fees.
Moreover, the advantage of this skill was not only that.
‘I need to drastically increase the number of people managing public facilities.’
All money paid to citizens from the economically active population subsidy was free.
But the amount was by no means small.
If all 300 employees receive 100,000 won, that is 30 million won a day.
The money you will receive when you fill up all the people from the employee to the manager.
‘All together, it’s over 50 million won a day.’
As these accumulate, the money you can get from the tax collection skill will increase, and on the other hand, it will be consumed at the canteen, and some of it will return to you.
‘It’s beneficial to give positions to as many citizens as possible.’
However, no suitable position has yet come to mind other than managing public facilities.
‘There must be facility management, cleaning, and security.’
That was all that immediately came to mind.
‘I’ll have to focus on the people who gathered at the front gate at that time.’
A picture was being drawn.
First of all, Kim Da-bin was immediately appointed to one of the department heads with only three positions.
‘The people Dabin Kim accepted as team members were Hyungjun Choi, Hyerin Yoo, and who else?’
The moment I was thinking of the names of the people to fill the temple.
[Citizen Dabin Kim’s loyalty has reached 100.]
[Citizen Dabin Kim has been registered as a vassal.]
[The vassal holding limit increases.]
Among those who were not vassals, the first person to achieve 100 Loyalty came out.
‘As expected, if you achieve 100 loyalty, you become a vassal right away.’
That was the same as saying that the ability to awaken will be created at the same time that loyalty reaches 100.
The moment I tried to check Dabin Kim’s ability.
at that time.
“Dreuroong.”
A loud snoring sound pulled me out of my thoughts.
“?”
When I turned my head to where the sound came from, Yoo Hye-rin was lying on the sofa.
“Kuuul— growling—.”
Perhaps because she was very tired, Hyerin Yoo was sleeping loudly snoring.
Seo Ye-jin asked me while I was still looking at it.
“Shall I wake you up?”
“no.”
Hye-rin Yoo had already done her duty.
Rather, it was said that he had abused his mind to reach this point, so he deserved a reward.
“Let me sleep like this.”
Using an invisible hand, he carried her to the bed in the master bedroom.
I fell into such a deep sleep that I fell into a deep slumber without waking up once as I made my way to bed.
Even though someone is really carrying it, it is sleeping without knowing the world.
“Dreuleoong—Koo-gu-gu-goo.”
Of course, the fancy snoring was still there.
Seo Ye-jin said a word while watching Yoo Hye-rin disappear into the living room.
“It sounds just like a steam locomotive.”
“Iknow, right.”
After closing the door, the loud snoring sound subsided a little.
“Are you okay, Yejin?”
“Is there anything difficult about me? I am perfectly fine.”
“Then please continue to work hard.”
“Yep!”
Seo Ye-jin’s scouting ability was superior to anyone else’s.
Hundreds of mice spread out in all directions were her eyes and ears, so there was nothing to compare them to.
By the way.
“what···?”
“Why is that?”
“…the link is not working.”
“Yeah?”
Seo Ye-jin’s ability was not omnipotent either.
“What is that? Suddenly?”
“Wait.”
Seo Ye-jin tested this and that with her eyes closed and came to a conclusion.
“The distance… seems too far.”
“Didn’t you connect well earlier?”
“I feel like I can go a little further out of range if I move while linked. However, the range that can be linked is limited to the area near the central station.”
‘Of course.’
If you go a little further from Jagalchi Station, your family’s home is waiting for you.
I planned to use Seo Ye-jin’s mouse to check the condition of the family first…
that has become a waste.
“It may be cumbersome, but could you please start again from the central station?”
“Yeah.”
Seo Ye-jin started moving to Jagalchi Station by sharing her senses at Jungang Station.
Since they had wiped out all the zombies there, they seemed to be moving without hesitation.
‘Fortunately, I’ll be there soon.’
While the mouse moved to Jagalchi Station, Ha Dong-gun watched the party’s dynamics with the eyes of an absolute.
***
Ha Dong-gun’s party was on their way out through Exit 1 of Choryang Station.
Even though it was just before 6pm, it was already dark.
This is because winter is approaching and the days are getting shorter.
“OMG···.”
The sky of the city without a single light was emitting colorful colors like the night sky of a quiet countryside.
So it was.
The scenery of the horribly broken city comes into view at a glance.
Footprints of giants engraved everywhere, buildings laid on corners, and piles of concrete scattered around as they were smashed.
The scene of brutal destruction shone like a painting in the moonlight.
“It’s amazing.”
“Geonah. reconnaissance.”
“Yes, sister.”
At Kim Ga-young’s urging, Kim Geon flew the clam into the sky.
Caw-
A black bird flying high in the sky scanned the surroundings, and Kim Geon, who received his feelings about it, said.
“I don’t seem to see any monsters around here.”
Kang Duk-soo said.
“There wasn’t a single goblin that was common in Choryang Station either. Thanks to the giant making a fuss, we can easily pass here.”
Gun Kim agreed with him.
“I guess so. There is no strong heart to approach this place after seeing this sight. It’s kind of like a territorial mark. Who dares to step into the realm of giants?”
At that time, Dajeong Kim said in a worried tone.
“But will it be okay? It’s night soon, so wouldn’t it be better to stay somewhere safe and leave in the morning?”
“Dajeong! Do not worry. Considering the habits of goblins, it is rather safe at night. They have a habit of hiding at night. That’s why I used to only move at night in my apartment!”
After thinking about it for a while, Ha Dong-gun came to a conclusion.
“I will move. If it becomes dangerous, Jaehyun will summon us.”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with Ha Dong-gun’s words.
The trust in Kim Jae-hyun is that thick.
Even if the situation became serious, there was a belief that he would do something.
Then a mouse arrived in front of them.
Take-
“It looks like a mouse sent by Seo Ye-jin. I will follow you.”
The mouse led Ha Dong-gun’s party along the pre-explored path.
The mice Seo Ye-jin is sharing her senses with were running from Jungang Station to Jagalchi Station, but the mice tamed by her were quite smart, so she was able to guide them alone.
When they arrived at Busan Station following the guide of the mouse, what they saw was a huge lake.
“What is this? Is this also a place made by giants?”
“maybe. It must have been a space created by the collapsed building next to it colliding with the floor.”
A pit several tens of meters in diameter was created in the front yard of the Busan Station high-speed rail building. The place was filled with water, whether it was seawater or groundwater, and concrete debris floated like an isolated island.
at that time.
Chararak-
Something has risen above the remote island.
The sudden sound of water drew all the attention of the Ha Dong-gun party to that place.
‘That’s…?’
At first glance, it looked like a human.
“Are you a person?”
“Do you think it’s a girl?”
That would be the case, because the upper body was in the shape of a woman.
However, the lower body was not that of a human, but that of a fish covered with blue scales.
Its identity, half-human and half-fish, was a Siren.
“aaa.”
The sirens began to sing.
No, it was more like a high-pitched scream than a song.
“Ah ah ah ah ah-!”
“Ugh!”
“Ugh, what is it?”
Everyone raised their hands to cover their ears at the deafening noise.
That moment.
“Uh-huh?!”
with a plop!
First, Kang Deok-soo and Moon Byeong-ho were sucked into the lake in a rigid state.
“Ducksoo! Byeongho!”
yet.
“Ah ah ah ah ah-!!”
The rest of the party began to be sucked into the lake one after another.
with a plop!
growl-
It was Kim Da-jung who reacted first in the sudden situation.
‘Magic armor!’
Right before being dragged into the water, he used his skill towards Oh Eon-joo.
Ugh-
Then, a brightly shining armor appeared on Oh Eon-joo’s body, and the next moment, her body began to swell.
“Kreung!”
Oh Eon-joo, who finished the hand-in-hwa in an instant, rushed toward the siren in reverse.
with a splash-!
When Oh Eon-joo, who was a water person, swam with a terrifying force and approached the siren, the siren was also quite embarrassed.
For a moment, the sirens stopped screaming, and the others were paralyzed.
Whee ae ae ae liquid-! Pooh!
Ha Dong-gun’s spear flew from the water and pierced the siren’s heart.

‘Surprised.’
I was really surprised when the Ha Dong-gun party fell into the lake one by one by the siren.
I was thinking about whether I should use the summoning vassal momentarily.
‘It was dangerous.’
Fortunately, Kim Da-jung was able to escape the crisis.
‘Objects with special abilities are annoying.’
Even though it was only a level 33 monster, it made the entire party dangerous.
‘If it wasn’t for Kim Da-jung’s ability, I would have been in serious trouble.’
Her ability, magic armor, was not a skill that simply blocked physical attacks. It was a magical armor that ‘protected’ the target from various harmful effects.
As soon as she was subdued by the sirens and sucked into the water, it seemed that her body was paralyzed, but Kim Da-jung’s magic armor prevented it.
That’s why only Oh Eon-joo was able to move normally, and Ha Dong-gun finished it off by throwing a spear while Siren was flustered and paralyzed for a while.
‘Kim Ga-young is hurt.’
Others had no problems other than getting wet, but Kim Ga-young apparently suffered a head injury while entering.
Fortunately, Da-jung Kim was there and she started receiving treatment right away.
“Whew.”
No matter how you think about it, the decision to include Kim Da-jung in the party was truly a move from God.
The effectiveness of the blessing and the heal used when injured were good, but the best thing was that there was a card that countered the current special ability.
“Jaehyun-nim…”
At that time, Seo Ye-jin with a gloomy expression spoke up.

Just by looking at it, I could tell what the result would be.
“Looks like you failed.”
“yes···. This time, the link was cut before we even reached Jagalchi Station.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Please focus on the directions for the Ha Dong-gun party.”
“yes···. sorry.”
Anyway, seeing Ha Dong-geon party overcome the crisis, I became more confident.
‘Now these people are the best combination I can have.’
Even without Seo Ye-jin’s assistance, I believed that these people would be able to reach their home with their own strength.
‘I have no choice but to trust and watch.’
It was my best to supply Kim Ga-young’s arrows and Ha Dong-gun’s spears in real time, and use intermediate attribute magic (fire) to assist as much as possible.
‘Something that might be helpful…’
That moment.
