I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 28

After Jeong-min broke up with Jo-won, he walked to his studio.

As I was walking slowly, I heard a loud sound from the other side.

“brother!”

Soon after, Sang-do ran to Jung-min with thumping footsteps and nodded.

“It’s been a while, brother!”

“Oh, long time no see, Mr. Sangdo. How are you?”

When Jung-min smiled and said hello, Sang-do nodded again and said.

“I’m doing well. Jia as well as me are doing very well. I don’t scratch my body at night, so I sleep well, eat well, and I think I’m getting better every day.”

“That’s great. Do you still have enough potions? If it’s not enough, tell me again.”

“Thank you very much, brother. There are still plenty of potions left, so it’s okay. The potion was so effective that once I applied it, my skin didn’t wake up for about a week.”

“It works, I’m so glad it worked.”

“Yes, by the way… Brother.”

“…?”

Sang-do hesitantly said as Jeong-min looked at him with questioning eyes.

“Couldn’t you be a little more comfortable with that? Wouldn’t it be a little burdensome to continue to be treated with respect from you as a younger brother?”

‘I’m more burdened to hear you say hyung-nim-hyung-nim with that face..’

Jung-min couldn’t bring himself to speak and said to Sang-do with a smile.

“Yes, I’m not the type to talk well at first.

“Oh, I didn’t mean to burden you. I’m sorry, brother.”

Jeongmin waved his hand and said.

“No. There’s nothing to be sorry about. Anyway, weren’t you on your way somewhere?”

“Oh yes, I was on my way because there was a leader meeting. A meeting is scheduled for the next dispatch location and how many groups will be dispatched.”

“I see. Come to think of it, Junki… I heard that the 6th team leader was also dispatched.”

Sangdo nodded and said.

“Yes, the older brother of the 6th team leader and the 1st team leader. The two of them led their respective groups and went out to the guild. I’d like to come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

‘Ah, if you’re the captain of the first team, that man is Seongdong. That’s how the two of them went together.’

“Looking at you coming tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you must have gone quite far, right?

I heard it started yesterday…”

“Yeah, that’s…”

Sangdo let out a big sigh and spoke to Jungmin.

“These days, a lot of talk is coming out about a shelter called [Phugang]. Do you know what a [Phugang] shelter is?”

Jimin nodded and said.

“Yes, I know. They declared their territories very wide, right?”

“You’re aware. Anyway, because of the territorial rights designated by the [Pulgang], it’s not easy to dispatch to occupy the gate. It is said that representatives will gather and discuss sooner or later, but until then, instructions have been given to avoid provoking the [Pulkang]. .Thanks to this, we have to leave the nearby gates behind and only send out requests from outside the domain, far away. Dispatch of distant gates is also not easy. With the increasing number of guilds and shelters arbitrarily setting up territory, groups that are dispatched by mistake are fighting amongst themselves. You may get caught up in a territorial dispute. There are a lot of difficulties here and there.”

Jungmin looked at Sangdo with pity as he spoke as if grumbling.

“Ah, I didn’t mean to complain to you, but… I’m sorry.”

Jeongmin said as he looked at Sangdo who bowed his head.

“Complaining. It’s okay. Shouldn’t we go now?”

“Yes, I think I should go. See you next time bro”

Sang-do bowed deeply to Jeong-min and walked quickly.

Jung-min looked at Sang-do’s back as he left, then walked back to the studio.

‘I wonder how long since God’s Trial started. It hasn’t even started in earnest yet.

Worried and walking for a while, I arrived at the residential area before I knew it.

Jung-min went into his studio.

‘Finally…the second base.’

When the one room was designated as the second base, a light flashed on the spot where Jung-min was standing, but it quickly disappeared.

‘I guess it worked?’

Jung-min opened the base gate to the inventory and went inside.

After entering the inventory, Jung-min opened the base gate to the room this time.

A gate to the studio was created in front of Jung-min’s eyes.

‘done!’

Jung-min came back to the studio and clenched his fists.

‘Now I can freely use my inventory in other dimensions. I don’t have to bring a bag or something when I go out to explore another inventory.’

Jung-min looked at the clock in the studio.

‘It’s lunch time soon.. Today, let’s eat at the shelter, and before going to Leah, let’s explore the inventory. I haven’t been able to go to other inventory because I’ve been living too busy.’

Having made up his mind, Jung-min moved to the restaurant.

It was still early, so the restaurant was very quiet.

Jeong-min, who put his bracelet on the food table, took a picture, received the food, and quickly ate it, then moved back to the studio.

“Okay then let’s go”

When I thought I was going to explore the inventory for the first time in a while, I felt my heart pounding for some reason.

Compared to before, the amount of mana was sufficient, so there was no need to worry about running out of mana, and the inventory could be opened and closed freely, so it would be much more convenient.

Jung-min opened the base gate, went into the inventory, and took a notebook and a pen.

I was thinking of making a note of it so that I could remember exactly where I was in my inventory.

Jung-min recalled the inventory he had visited and recorded it in his notebook.

“Let’s set Leah’s inventory to be east of mine. Then the first inventory in the east is Leah’s inventory…”

Jung-min simply wrote ‘Dong 1 Leah (Elan)’ in his notebook.

“Then the other side is the west… The first inventory is an earthling… If you look at the dull wall, the inventory owner is dead…”

Jeong-min wrote down in his notebook one after another, ‘Seo 1 (Earth) death’ followed by ‘Seo 2 (Martial Arts?) death’.

“Okay, let’s get this sorted out. If you have inventory to go back to later, it will be easy to find.”

Jung-min put his notebook and pen in his pocket and thought about the direction he had to go.

‘Well… it doesn’t matter where you go. Shall we head north today? Don’t just go to a few, try to explore as many as your mana allows. There’s a lot of time left until I meet Leah.’

Jeong-min began to explore the inventory by looking through the wall in front and jumping over it.

******

Kwak Jo-won was walking down the hallway on the 5th floor of Daesung Shelter.

Walking to the far end of the hallway, there was a door with a small sign saying ‘Meeting Room’.

Joey sighed and opened the door and went inside.

A total of eleven people were sitting in the conference room.

Among the people, most of whom looked to be in their 50s or 60s, there were also two elderly people sitting together.

One of them is an elderly man sitting at the top of the table.

He was Yoon Dae-seong, the former chairman of Daesung Group and the head of the shelter at Lee Dae-sung Shelter.

Yoon Dae-seong greeted Jo Won as he opened the door and came in very warmly.

“Oh, our manager Kwak is here. Come on, have a seat.”

Jo Won lightly bowed and walked to Daesung’s side.

A fat man in his 50s sitting next to Daesung crumpled his face as Jo Won walked towards him.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Before long, Jo Won said to a man in his 50s.

“Bae, Mr. It was because I felt like I would have to host the meeting next to Mr. Shelter and help him with various things. Could you please change your seat?”

The man called Bae Jeon-mura glared at Jo Won as if he were going to kill him.

That moment when you are grinding your teeth and trying to say something to Jo Won

“Come on, do it. Bae Jeon-moo would prefer to sit over there. Wouldn’t it be easier for the meeting to proceed only if our manager Kwak sat next to me?”

At the words of Daesung, the head of the shelter, Bae Jeon-moo gritted his teeth and stood up.

Seeing Bae Jeon-moo walking to the farthest seat, Jo Won smiled and said,

“thank you. Bae Jeon-moo”

Joe sat down and looked around.

Everyone except Daesung, the shelter leader, was glaring at Jowon.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

When Jo Won smiled and said, the people stopped staring and turned their eyes to the papers on their desks.

Daesung looked around at the executives who were seated and said in a high-pitched voice.

“Okay, it looks like everyone is here, so let’s get started. Director Kwak. start.”

Jo Won, who received Daesung’s words, looked around and said.

“Okay, let’s start today’s meeting. Today, we are going to talk about our [Daesung] Shelter’s countermeasures following the declaration of [Phugang] Shelter’s territory. As you have heard, the territory declared by [Phugang] includes our [Daeseong] shelter, so we are forced to choose between becoming a shelter under [Phugang]’s control or leaving this territory. This is what you are receiving. At the soon-to-be-scheduled convening of representatives from each shelter, we must state how we will take our position.”

“There is only one answer to that question, isn’t it?”

Jo Won cut off his words and looked at the elderly man entering.

It was Yoon Geo-seong, the former vice chairman of Daesung Group and the current head of the bushelter, who was sitting across from him and glaring at Jo Won.

Jo Won looked at the giant and asked.

“There is only one answer?”

“yes. There is only one. Conflict with the [Pulkang] armed with powerful firearms will only lead to destruction. Just acclimate to the [Pearl River] and enter the shelter under it. What else is the answer?”

In response to the giant’s answer, the people sitting around nodded their heads in sympathy.

Joe looked at them expressionlessly and said.

“Are you saying that without any consultation or negotiations, let’s acknowledge the territory that [Phu Kang] arbitrarily set up and crawl under it?”

“Crawling underneath is a bit of an exaggeration. It’s just adapting to reality and finding a way for everyone to live.”

“Is that really the way everyone lives? If you accept such an unreasonable demand, what do you think will happen next? Aren’t you having childlike, complacent thoughts?”

At Jo Won’s blow, the executives sitting around the giant stood up in indignation and started shouting.

The giant raised his hand to calm them down and said.

“Then let’s listen to our manager Kwak’s story. How is Director Kwak going to respond against [Phu Kang] armed with enormous firepower?”

“We would like to proceed with the negotiations once again.”

“what?”

Jo Won looked straight at the giant and said.

“[Phu Kang] is asking too much right now. A radius of 50km is declared as an area. I mean, it’s a huge expanse. If you bring all the large shelters and guilds together and try to negotiate with the Pearl River again about the territory, you will never be able to ignore the Pearl River. ”

“It is useless. [Phugang] What is it that makes you feel bad about negotiating? Talk about it again and again, but they do have guns. Do you understand?”

“Does it make sense to crawl under them without any resistance just because they are afraid of guns? Even if they are armed with firearms, they will not be able to deal with five large shelters and numerous guilds at once.”

“Again, the sound of crawling in again-”

“stop.”

The war of words between Jo Won and Geoseong was stopped by the clear voice of Daesung.

“…Since our predecessors, [Daesung] and [Joogang] have been rivals. If one side wants to get ahead, the other side will overtake them before they know it and hope that they will overtake them again for decades. By the way… let’s go under the opponent’s back, saying that we only had the government and some of the military on our backs? I will never allow it.”

“Brother… No, Shelter Commander! This is a matter of life and death. But for that reason-”

“Why? only?”

Daesung’s strong eyes shook his shoulders.

“Since God’s trial began, everything Daesung had built collapsed. Leaving this shelter alone. But let’s hand over the shelter that can be said to be the last remaining one of Daeseong? And in the [Pearl River], which is nowhere else? Never, never can!”

Seeing Daesung screaming, Jo Won made a surprised expression.

‘I didn’t use brainwashing to get people to agree with my opinion… It must be the Shelter’s true intention’

Jo Won looked around the crowd and said.

“It has been decided. If this is the opinion of the Shelter leader… I will contact the other Shelters and the guild and try to come to a consensus. Who should be the representative of the shelter in [Phugang]?”

“Brother, no, Mr. Shelter! I’ll let you go.”

As Geoseong stood up and spoke, Daeseong glared at him and said.

“I’m worried that Mr. Bushelter will sell Daesung to [Phukgang] if he goes there.”

“brother!”

Daesung’s clear voice continued.

“Honestly, I want to go and negotiate, but since I’m old, my body is having a hard time.

“Yes, I will.”

Jo Won bowed to Daesung and said.

“Thank you for trusting us. I will come back with good results.”

Jo Won, who spoke with his back bent, was thinking of Jung-min.

‘But I’m also a bit worried. What if Jugang recklessly comes out…? It’s a monster that can’t even pass bullets, so I’ll do something for you.”

A smile formed on Joe’s lips.
