Gold and Silver Alchemist

chapter 8



He took a gun out of his bag and pointed it at me.

“It’s dead, bastard!”

It wasn’t a toy gun.

What he was holding was a Taser gun.

That stun gun that cops use to incapacitate criminals.

Originally, the general public could not possess the Taser gun, but I did not know how it was held in the hands of the reins.

“hey! where did you get that from?”

“why? Is this your first time seeing something like this? So, you have to mess around with people! Dirty spoon dog pig dare to touch me! know who i am! Die, you bastard!”

The moment he was about to pull the trigger, I opened my mouth.

“Hey, give that to me.”

“uh!?”

He removed his finger from the trigger guard and handed me a taser.

I was handed a gun

The boy widened his eyes in surprise.

“This, this…. What happened? Nonsense···.”

He didn’t understand his own behavior when he handed the gun to the opponent.

“How do you shoot this? Can I just pull the trigger?”

I pointed the taser at him.

Then the boy fell flat on the floor and cried out.

“Don’t shoot!”

“Does this hurt? Did you get it right?”

“Don’t shoot! My dad will kill you if you shoot that at me! Do you know who my dad is? Don’t shoot, don’t shoot!”

“I’m sorry.”

I pulled the trigger without hesitation.

pat-

Compressed air was sprayed and the electrode needle flew and stuck into the guy’s body.

Follow me –

Then, along with the characteristic sound of a Taser gun, electricity flowed out.

Then he fell to the ground and wriggled.

Follow me –

After about 5 seconds, the current emission stopped automatically.

kuh-

He groaned and tried to stand up.

Out of curiosity, I pulled the trigger once more.

Follow me –

Then the current was released again.

He fell over again and began to wriggle.

I told him

“Don’t be afraid, I know you won’t die even if this hits you.”

The amperage of a Taser gun is far less than lethal to humans.

So sometimes there are criminals who resist the police without collapsing even after being hit by a Taser gun.

Follow me –

After 5 seconds, the current emission stopped again.

It seems to work for 5 seconds each time the trigger is pressed.

“Would you like some more electricity? Shall I give it one more time?”

The guy ejaculated with tears and runny nose.

“Sah, save me!”

Tears weren’t the only thing he shed.

His pants were soaking wet.

I said loudly to the others.

“hahahaha! He peed!”

All of them regarded me as a psychopath and got sick of it.

I approached the peeer and pulled out the electrode needles stuck in his body.

And he told everyone.

“Do you have any fun toys? What are we going to do with this?”

They looked at me with anxious expressions.

I pointed the gun at the guys and shouted.

“Give me 5 seconds from now. Human hunting begins in 5 seconds!”

The guys were startled by the noise and everyone jumped up and started running out of the park.

The guy who had urinated was still in a state of distraught, not knowing what to do.

“why? Do you want to use electricity again?”

Hick-

He was startled and jumped up and started running.

I yelled at the back of his head.

“hey! Go tell Daddy! If you bring Daddy, I’ll make you pee the same way as punishment for raising your child wrong!”

After a while,

The park found silence again.

I looked around to see if there was CCTV and there was one.

However, the camera that was supposed to be looking at the inside of the park turned toward the hillside.

It must have been the reins of the past.

They must have turned the direction of the CCTV to do something bad in peace.

Lululala-

I headed for the convenience store with light steps.

.

.

.

I picked up the basket and started shopping.

Add soju and instant budae stew,

Put a can of ham and a bag of kimchi.

Shall we add a bowl of ramen noodles?

I was so happy shopping when someone called me.

“A bachelor in room 103?”

When I turned my head, it was the man next door.

“Mr. 104?”

“Do you want to drink soju alone?”

“ah···. yes.”

Soju and side dishes were also in the uncle’s hand.

he asked with a smile.

“Shall we have a drink together?”

.

.

.

Alcoholic drinks were spread on the convenience store parasols.

Budaejjigae and tofu kimchi.

“Oh, what a feast! Shall we take a look at Minhyuk’s cooking skills?”

The man scooped up a spoonful of Budaejjigae broth, tasted it, and gave a thumbs up.

I also put stir-fried kimchi on top of tofu and put it in my mouth.

The savory taste of the tofu and the sour and greasy taste of the stir-fried kimchi were quite delicious.

“This is good. I can’t get enough of the tofu kimchi sold at restaurants.”

It had been four years since I lived as a neighbor with the uncle next door.

Because my uncle moved in a year after I moved.

And today we’re drinking together for the first time.

“I finished early because there were not too many customers, but it was good. Like this, Minhyuk and I get to have a drink of soju.”

It was the first time I found out today that the uncle is a designated driver.

Even though we lived right next door, we hardly spoke to each other.

“What is Minhyuk doing?”

“I quit working at a software company not too long ago.”

“is it so? why?”

“They always made me work overtime and didn’t pay my salary on time, let alone an allowance.”

“Oh, did you? good job. Because the company isn’t just there.”

Drinking alone in the corner of the room all the time made me feel good even though it was only an outdoor parasol.

gulp-

The drink was very sweet.

.

.

.

The night was getting late, and dawn was approaching.

Before I knew it, soju bottles were piled up on the table.

Finally, the man brought out another bottle of soju from the refrigerator, saying, “Let’s drink just one more bottle.”

“By the way, Minhyuk, isn’t he getting married?”

“I’m not even thirty yet.”

“It is a good age. My eldest son is the same age as Minhyuk.”

I naturally asked my uncle what I was curious about.

“Does your family not live together?”

The old man sighed lightly and continued.

“I am a sinner. I lost my fortune in gambling, and the whole family was torn apart.”

After hearing the story, the man was the owner of a small and medium-sized business that ran a small mold factory in Daejeon.

But 10 years ago, when I set foot in the casino, I was embarrassed.

“Even after giving away all my possessions, I couldn’t come to my senses and went to bed near the casino. I lived under the illusion that the casino was holding my money and that if I continued, I would find it someday.”

The uncle stayed at an inn near the casino and ran to the casino whenever he had money.

I wasted 5 years just like that.

The man who fell completely into hell received psychiatric treatment with the help of his hometown friend and started a new life.

“My family also turned away from me, but that friend saved me.”

“You have good friends.”

“But he died of cancer not too long ago.”

“oh my.”

The old man drank the soju all by himself.

I filled my uncle’s cup.

“I swore in front of his friend’s portrait that if I gambled again, I would be an animal, not a human.”

I was planning to go to the casino tomorrow, but to hear that my life was ruined by gambling was an amazing coincidence.

But my uncle and I are in different situations.

Big-

The old man took a sip of soju and continued.

“Have you ever been to a casino, Minhyuk?”

“no. I have never been there.”

“good job. Don’t even go near it!”

.

.

.

I don’t know how many times I repeated ‘just one more bottle’.

I helped the drunk man back to the hotel.

I escorted him to his room and I entered my room as well.

Anyway, my drinking volume has increased tremendously.

I used to faint after 3 bottles of soju.

Even though I drank more than 5 bottles today, I was fine.

‘Is this also because of the elixir?’

Anyway, let’s wash up and sleep.

shoot-

I took a cool shower in a strong jet of water.

Then I lay down on the soft bed and closed my eyes.

**

I was standing in the backyard of a park.

He entered a dream world with an elixir extraction system.

The manager came up to me and said.

“The amount of gold absorbed for the day is 0.”

It was as if he was rebuking me for not doing his job.

In an instant, annoyance rose.

“So?”

“Is that so? It’s your job to absorb the gold.”

“Who decided that? I do it if I want to, or I don’t.”

The manager looked at me without saying a word.

I avoided her gaze, holding back the sting on my face.

She sighed lightly and opened her mouth.

“Well, do whatever you want. Even if you don’t like it, you have no choice but to absorb the gold anyway.”

“What does that mean?”

“You will know when you experience it.”

I moved my gaze to the flower bed.

The seedlings were giving off a bright light.

said the manager.

“The tree has regained its strength. I am ready to pass on one more piece of knowledge to you.”

oh-

It was time to learn a new magic.

I approached the seedling.

Excluding the leaves that had turned red, there were about twenty leaves.

I didn’t know what to choose.

I asked the manager.

“Can’t you tell in advance which leaves contain good things?”

“Take a good picture.”

I smiled at her answer and just touched something.

pat-

Light emanated from the leaves and knowledge of magic entered my brain.

oh!

Learned the magic of dealing with fire.

***

It took about 3 hours by limousine bus from Jamsil Station to arrive at the casino.

Before entering the casino, I found an ATM machine.

to find money

Because you can bet only if you have money.

Coincidentally, there were several ATM machines near the entrance.

There were a lot of people waiting in line to get money.

Right in front of me, a man spoke loudly on the phone.

“mom! I got into a car accident while driving drunk! If you don’t pay the settlement right away, I’m going to jail! Send me five million won quickly! what? Don’t have five hundred? Then send me what you have!”

About a minute after the man finished talking,

belt ring-

his cell phone rang.

The man checked his text messages and cheered.

“yes!”

It’s probably a message that money has been deposited into the account.

He withdrew all the money and ran to the gambling house.

what the-

I clicked my tongue and stood in front of the ATM machine.

‘How much to find?’

Today, I’m just going to taste it, so I found 1 million won.

Then I paid the entrance fee and entered the gambling hall.

It was the first time I set foot in a casino after growing my hair.

however,

omg-

It was a very different landscape from what I expected.

Noisily-

There were so many people without a place to set foot that I couldn’t even get a good look at the interior decoration.

And most of the people were wearing hiking clothes.

If this is the case, what do I mean by putting on a semi-suit with care?

‘The steam is leaking.’

I exchanged 1 million won in cash for 10 casino chips worth 100,000 won.

And went inside the gambling house.

“Ayeaiaiai! f*ck!”

Abusive words came out about losing money here and there in the slot machine.

“Hey, you f*cking b*tch! Yes, take them all!”

A woman threw a 1,000 won chip in the dealer’s face and cursed at him.

omg-

I couldn’t find the kind of scenery that I saw in the movie, enjoying the game with a cocktail in one hand.

But there is no need to be disappointed.

‘I came here to get money, not to appreciate the atmosphere.’

I made my way through the gambling den.

And sat down at the roulette table.
