Episode 653: Being sold.
Numerous eyes welcoming me.
The obvious hostility was accompanied by a hint of murder.
When did I open my eyes so violently?
I thought about stabbing my eyes out.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Evileye.”
First of all, I said hello.
Looking inside, it was a space where a warehouse and accommodation were combined.
All that was left was an old blanket laid out in an abandoned place where the horses lived.
In short, this place is like…
‘It’s like a share house.’
In a way, you could see them as neighbors.
Neighbors living under one roof.
“Why don’t you just stare at it and get out of the way? “Where is my seat?”
“A bold newcomer has arrived.”
As I gently push away the pillow rolling on the floor with my foot, a man with a bald head steps forward.
He was a man with a sturdy belly and a bushy beard, and the smell of alcohol could be felt all the way to here.
It doesn’t seem like the thick arms are just fat.
‘This guy is the head of this room.’
It seemed clear as I saw the people around me stepping aside.
Paul, who guided me, steps back as if it’s interesting.
Are you saying you want to see how it turns out?
Let’s see.
How did I introduce myself to Paul?
-Boo!
“Huh up!”
You said you use your body well, I guess?
I kicked my stomach.
Maybe it’s because my stomach is sticking out, but the cushioning feels good.
I didn’t know what their level was, so I kicked it gently, but this seemed to be enough.
The guy who rolled backwards several times collapsed on the floor, gagging.
“At least it’s a bit clean here.”
The innermost part has been cleaned up, probably because it was originally used by him.
I push away the scattered trash and open the blanket, blowing up a ton of dust.
“Cough! Cough!”
“Khehe!”
“Dirty bastards. “Let’s clean up and live.”
Haven’t you shaved it off for a year?
It smells so bad that it looks like you haven’t even done your laundry.
Just as I was furrowing my eyebrows and wondering what to do with the blanket that couldn’t even be used as a mop.
“ha ha ha! okay! I have skills. “I didn’t say anything nonsense, did you?”
Paul bursts into laughter and even sheds tears.
I thought only my face was aging, but maybe my tear ducts were also aging?
It looked like he wanted to hit me for no reason, but I let it go for now.
“Isn’t this supposed to be a workplace? “It just looks like a lodging.”
“Ah, that’s right. “It’s both accommodation and work.”
As he snaps his fingers, the pot-bellied dog, which was catching its breath while holding its stomach, stands up shakily.
He glances at me and opens the door handle behind him.
“Hoo.”
I thought it was the bathroom door, but it led to somewhere else.
Unlike this place, it was a clean space that had been carefully organized, and there were miscellaneous facilities inside.
“It’s a brewery.”
“I guess it’s not legal.”
“Well, that’s right. “Is that a problem?”
“No, it seems like they are managing it more laxly than I thought.”
Alcohol made illegally.
Aside from quality and hygiene, it is obvious that it is a product that does not require taxes.
Leaving such items in a shack like this?
I think even if just one security guard came in, we would get caught.
However, I don’t think the people who live here have the power to protect the brewery.
“On the surface, it’s supposed to make vinegar.”
“It wasn’t a bad smell.”
That’s kind of okay.
I also thought they walked around covered in urine.
“If it had been wet with urine, I was going to throw it away.”
“…What?”
“Anything.”
I flinch. A few guys I made eye contact with grabbed my pants, but I pretended not to see them and moved on.
Don’t go near that guy.
anyway.
“Is making alcohol my job?”
“One more thing there. “I need to take care of the delivery.”
Paul twirls his finger.
“There are a lot of beggars and alcoholics around here. “There are a lot of people who are sick.”
“It means there are a lot of people looking for alcohol.”
“bingo. Sometimes there are people who try to steal, so take care of yourself. “Victon will tell you about the work.”
“Hmm. “I will guide you.”
The guy who got hit by me is groveling.
Originally, this guy was in charge.
Even if it were me, I would have found someone else because I was so unreliable.
I held out my hand to the guy.
“Product list and supplier list.”
“There is no separate ledger and it is only delivered orally. “I don’t even know how to write.”
Is there any business in the world that is conducted without ledgers?
I wiped my face.
I think I started this wrong.
It’s not because I’m a merchant, but this is basic.
Even if it’s not Excel, you should write it down on paper.
“What if I go behind your back and say you didn’t receive the item? What about settlement? What about material supply and such? Did it turn? “Just Mr. Hwak.”
When I raise my hand, Victon curls up with its large body.
Judging by the aggrieved expression on his face, it looks like there hasn’t been any problem so far.
“now. Calm down. There is someone else who manages it. “It’s just a simple errand.”
Paul, with a happy expression, taps my shoulder.
If you’re just an errand boy, I understand.
To be honest, the treatment and people are not very good considering they were posted to manage the workplace.
“A pretty smart friend has arrived. “Do you know how to write?”
“I can’t write, but I can read.”
“Why write when you can read… That’s it. “Because that’s not important.”
The guy who was contemplating with his arms crossed shakes his head.
“He’s a talent that would be a waste to be used as a simple handyman. Still, there are procedures, so I’ll have to run some errands for a while. “I will pay you well.”
“What if you give me money?”
I guess my impression was good.
This is why people have good physiognomy and should see.
It looks like he wants to touch the documents, but since this is the first time he has seen each other, it will take some time for trust.
In the meantime, I’m telling you to run some errands.
It’s not a bad offer even for me.
I don’t know anything about this neighborhood.
You need time to figure out where the underground shopping mall is and what you need to do to clear it.
“When can I start working?”
“It’s good to be proactive. “We can do it starting tonight.”
“Please take care of me.”
“I am.”
There’s no employment contract or anything, but it doesn’t matter.
Because I had no intention of working normally anyway.
We raised our eyebrows and shook hands.

Garbage Village This Dail.
It’s been 10 days since I stayed here and did miscellaneous things.
Let me tell you about my impressions so far.
“The neighborhood is trash too. People are trash too. What you do is trash. “It’s the Triple Crown.”
“Yes.”
The point was that it was not a place for people to live.
It’s dirty, but it’s not edible or anything left over from someone eating it.
As much as I take pride in my cooking, I feel angry.
If it had been Park Jae-kyung, wouldn’t he have turned everything around and stood up?
Nevertheless, the reason I couldn’t cook carelessly was because of the gaze of those around me.
I had a hard time cooking because a bunch of random people flocked to me.
Although there are no cases on this floor, it is taboo to commit murder outright.
I hit him a few times, but he crawled over, put something to eat in his mouth, and ran away.
Afterwards, he wandered around me and looked to see if there was anything he could steal and eat.
After that happens, don’t cook anything else.
Although they sell decent food, the price is quite high.
‘With the weekly wage I receive, there is no choice.’
The currency unit here is Lian.
For roughly 100 lian, you can buy and eat an apple.
The problem is that the weekly salary is only 1,000 lian.
4000 lian per month.
In Korean terms, it was 400,000 won.
Even this was money that Paul received for his good work.
Usually 3000 lian. There are also people who just ask to use it and receive only 2,000 rian per month.
If there was a Labor Office, this would have been caught a long time ago, but most people are struggling without it.
A structure that makes normal life impossible in the first place.
Rather than buying groceries, they catch and eat their own food or raise sheep or chickens at home and eat their milk and eggs.
I even went to the market to sell and buy something cheap.
On the other hand, the situation was different in the illegal entertainment district where I work.
“No, it will be better. I don’t know if you enjoyed it. “I paid special attention to it.”
“It wasn’t bad. That’s a tip. Just prepare like this next time.”
A smartly dressed guy puts a bill in the front pocket of someone who looks like a scoundrel.
500 lian.
The amount was about half of the weekly wage of an average worker.
“Of course I will! “I will put my name on it and prepare something worthy of your dignity!”
“It’s not worth the name. Eh. “Let’s go.”
“Let’s go take a look!”
A guy who smiles and lowers his head.
The expression on his face is that he made a windfall.
As long as it doesn’t get taken away.
There are already people glaring at him from the corner of the alley, chewing tree roots.
anyway.
“Delivery has arrived.”
“Your words are always short. “It doesn’t matter as long as you do a good job.”
I grabbed today’s worth of alcohol and headed to the back door of the bar.
It’s a small place, but it has its fair share of regulars.
It was famous as a place where striptease shows were performed regardless of gender.
In short, it means illegal.
It’s low-quality liquor in a low-class store.
It was obvious without even looking what kind of guests would come.
The store owner, Pegnell, who was checking whether the alcohol that came in was correct, glances up at me.
“As I said before, aren’t you interested in working as a dancer at our store? I think there’s a demand for something with a strangely exotic appearance and a strong body. “You’ll make twice as much as running errands.”
“No work.”
“You can get tips too. There are very few places in this town where you can get this much money. “Think about it carefully.”
The guy who tapped my shoulder goes back into the store.
I shook my shoulders and got out carrying an empty cart.
There is a feeling of popularity that has been felt since a while ago.
“Is the work worth doing?”
“As you can see.”
“Tsk tsk. It looks like you don’t like it very much. “Once you’ve been in a dirty place, you want to go to a better place.”
It’s not wrong.
He knew that too, so he neglected me while my dissatisfaction built up.
I checked every now and then to see if there were information merchants or anything like that, but they weren’t there.
Most of them were poor, and the entertainment districts where money was concentrated kicked out suspicious people for security reasons.
“I’m just getting sick of it. Follow me. Because I have something else to do. “It won’t be a bad thing for you either.”
Have you finally thought of doing something else?
Deokchun has been dissatisfied a lot lately.
There were some things I didn’t like.
[Deokchun (Chaos Frog-SS)]
– Attribute: Chaos
– Attributes: Acid (SSS) Recovery (SSS) Poison (SSS) Fire (SS) Outer Armor (SSS) Superpower (SSS)
– Unique Ability: Slap (SSS) Gluttony (SSS) Tongue Movement (SS)
– A spirit creature with powerful chaos.
-Digestion is necessary due to the absorption of excess energy present.
-Additional abilities appear after all energy has been digested.
-Time for quality food and rest!
Although the current rating has risen, it has not been a complete growth.
It’s almost like I was forced to grow up through excessive use of binge eating.
This means that the level of characteristics and unique abilities has increased, but no new abilities have been added.
I needed enough rest and energy.
‘Even though it was a rest, it wasn’t enough to eat.’
Although we were feeding them dry food that could be eaten for a long time and emergency food separately, it felt like it was not enough to be considered proper food.
Deokchun’s growth was necessary for me as well, so I was planning to leave if it seemed like it would take longer, but fortunately, he came in time.
“This way.”
The restaurant Paul guided me to was a fairly expensive restaurant.
It looked like a normal place on the outside, but people in the know knew.
It is a meeting place where big names who need to talk closely away from others gather.
Those sitting below as guests are their escorts.
The store’s own guards were also guarding the hallways and doors.
The number of people in the restaurant varies depending on the number of customers coming, but if you look at the numbers now.
‘At least he’s not a neighborhood gangster.’
The number reached a whopping 30 people.
Since 10 people are store employees, this means that there are only 20 people that an individual can bring with them.
The cost of moving people is quite high since you have to feed them and put them to sleep, not just carry them around.
Looking at it positively, it means that a resourceful businessman has arrived. In other words, it means that a tycoon from the underworld has made a move.
“I’m going in.”
In the entertainment district, Paul, who walks around with his shoulders pressed against him, is treated with respect?
It means that you are at least a higher level than this guy.
We arrived at the 4th floor of the building. It was at the top and this is what you see when you go inside.
“Is it this guy? “The talent you mentioned.”
“yes. He knows how to read and write, and he has a lot of military power. “There is no enemy in this town.”
A guy who talks like he’s explaining some kind of product.
The person sitting in front was a middle-aged man.
Her gray hair is slicked back, and she looks good.
The eye bone protrudes from the scar that runs across the corner of the mouth.
Looking at the knife marks on his thick hands, it was clear that he had lived a rough life.
“He wasn’t the one who ran away from the city. “It comes from a more rural area than here.”
He immediately opened his mouth, shuffling through the documents in front of him.
Did you even conduct a background investigation?
“I needed someone whose face wasn’t already known. “I’ll buy that one.”
I was seeing it as a real thing, not a feeling.
I glanced down at Paul and saw that his eyes were still fixed on the floor.
He is expressing with his whole body that he is Eul.
this.
‘I don’t think they’re trying to sell it, but rather it’s being taken away by force?’
He said out loud that he needed me.
Talking about your purpose is a taboo in business.
This is because you can confirm what the other person needs, raise the value, and sell it.
In short, it can be a dump.
The fact that Paul, who is a businessman in his own right, is keeping his mouth shut like this.
‘It’s not something to bargain with.’
Since he mentioned a city, it was obvious he was from there.
then.
“Yes, nice to meet you. “You want to buy me?”
I have no choice but to raise my value myself.
I trudged over and sat down on the sofa across from him, crossing my legs.
Is it because I sleep on the floor all the time? This is soft.
“Now are you crazy! “I know who he is!”
I waved my hand at Paul, who was startled.
The guy’s face turned red when I gestured for him to remain slightly depressed, but that’s where I’m interested.
“What do you want to hire me for? manager? Fixer? Or something else?”
“Such an arrogant bastard.”
“You don’t know fractions!”
The bodyguards on both sides of the guy who was looking at me with harsh eyes stepped out.
The other party did not stop him.
I just lean back against the backrest and look at him with interested eyes.
Try it yourself. It looks like this.
“Will it be two? “You call the guys below too, right?”
Would it be okay to just knock out two people?
It should have more impact.
The guy who laughed at me turned his finger.
“Two are enough. Give them some education.”
“yes!”
“Just leave it to me!”
I wondered if it was all bravado, but I quickly realized the reason for that confidence.
[Iron Wall (SS) Lv.MAX]
[Action Leader (SS) Lv.MAX]
Both of them used quite high-level skills.
“Not bad.”
I think I can beat them up with ease too.
If I don’t have to control my strength, I’m fine.
The guys rushed in and kicked the seat at the same time.
Muscles that contract explosively.
Turn your waist and take a full swing towards the guy on your left.
“Khaaaap!”
-Kwajangchang!
The guy flew out through the wall.
The only one left is the guy on the right.
“Come on in.”
I flinch.
As his fingers twitched, his eyes began to tremble.
