Chapter 94 – I Received My First Request From My Broker Sister.
“Did you say Jageun? His javelin throwing skills were extraordinary.”
“I didn’t gain much muscle, but it’s amazing that I just pierced the pollutant head.”
The battle ended, and the troops gathered by my side.
They each said something and handed it to me, patting me on the shoulder.
The scent of a cool man was in the air.
So I didn’t feel very good.
It’s nice to be praised, but I wondered why I had to receive it from a man.
I wanted to quickly finish the mission and see my broker sister.
“Did you say it was the Full House Request Center? I don’t think it’s the place for a talented person like you… Do you owe anything there?”
A bald man asked.
It seemed like you were very interested in the famous request office earlier, but I guess it’s a shame that I’m carrying out my duties at the Full House Request Center.
“I chose the location of the referral center because I liked it.”
“The way I see it… I think you can meet a fixer in Legend or Black… Then you can handle bigger things than these chores.”
“Haha… I’m not interested in big things like that. I don’t have the skills or ability to do that. Doing small chores suits me too.”
“That’s humble. If you made that choice, yes. Well, if you stay in the military for a long time, it’s worth avoiding intense places.”
Actually, it was to have sex with Jenny’s older sister, but the bald man interpreted it differently.
In order to clear up any misunderstandings, I had to say that I was working because of a beautiful woman.
But there is no need to talk about it.
If I said that I was being asked to do this because of a woman, word of mouth would spread and Jenny would eventually suffer, so I decided to hide my ambition as much as possible.
“Uh, what did the company say?”
While there was a small conversation going on, the captain who had gone into the factory came back.
“They said they would give additional compensation.”
“Oh. After all, negotiation is the boss.”
“The company also thought that if we left here, there would be no combatants to defend us, so they would compensate us as much as possible.”
“Did you see that far?”
“Oh~ I will always be with the former captain~”
“Me too. Haha.”
“Disgusting guys.”
It was a combat unit whose commander’s authority seemed quite strong.
Even though they were carrying out a mission in a barren land that no one else was doing, everyone seemed happy.
Maybe it was because of my memories from my old unit, but I felt the man’s affection in my heart.
Ah. No.
I shook my head again and came to my senses.
Men’s affection is a mess… I’m only Jenny noona!
“And… Park Ja-geun.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you turn all the pollutants into skewers by yourself? They said they would give a special reward to the request center and you.”
“I see. That’s good.”
“It is true that we were comfortable working alone just now. So, if you are having trouble or want to take a break, please let us know at any time. We will guarantee it right away.”
When I first saw the captain, he seemed like a meal, but he seemed impressed by the way he fought against the pollutants and tried to take care of me.
Really, what is this?
I was able to forgive all my initially cold reactions.
I guess I was wrong to be a bad guy.
“Resting in a suitable place. That’s all that’s needed.”
“I understand. If you’re hungry, just take the combat rations out of the digital box over there and eat them.”
“Thank you.”
It’s combat food.
I wanted to try it for the first time in a long time, so I immediately went to a place where there was a digital box.
This is food.?
When I opened the digital box, I saw countless pieces of paper as thin as A4.
I touched one of them, and a hologram picture of food appeared on the box lid.
“I recommend the lobster chicken cutlet. The lobster taste is amazing.”
“Is that so?”
A bald man quietly stood next to me and recommended a food menu.
I found the lobster chicken cutlet and took out the paper.
Then he said, ‘Shake with all your might.’ I was shaken wildly by the phrase.
“Hehe. I guess you did some exercise at night? You shake pretty fast.”
“It’s good to be young.”
I was told to shake with all my might, and I did so while other unit members looked at me with envy.
Guys… What are you thinking when you see me shaking it?
-Tiring~
As I was shaking the combat rations, I heard the sound of a table bell ringing when the food was served at some restaurant.
At some point, the small A4 paper swelled and became as big as a pillow.
‘Put your finger in the area visible from the red dot in the middle and spread it apart.’ When I saw the words, I grabbed the swollen combat rations and opened them.
“Oh.”
There was a delicious smell inside.
When I looked at the opened inside, the lobster chicken cutlet that I had seen in the hologram earlier appeared inside.
“Eat deliciously.”
“I will eat well.”
I sat down in a suitable spot while looking at the place where the pollutants were approaching earlier.
I had a meal while looking at the desolate wasteland.
“Captain, I’m going to take a rest.”
“See you later.”
“Yes~”
Unit members with tired-looking faces entered the factory.
It must have been in this position for a long time.
The most important thing during work was self-management.
Pollutants are pollutants, but people also had to fight against fatigue.
I had to manage stress as well as hunger.
This was also the reason why there were occasional gun accidents in the unit or people who got angry and accidentally opened a grenade.
“Why don’t you go in and close your eyes?”
A bald man yawned and came next to me and advised me to rest.
“I’m fine. I just have to guard the factory until tomorrow. I’ll keep guarding here.”
I said I would stay here because it felt like an old guardhouse.
But the bald man seems worried about me.
“Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard? You said that the previous battle was hard all by yourself, and then you collapse.”
“It’s okay. I’m talented.”
Even if I didn’t take care of my body, I was still in good spirits.
Thanks to blood magic, I was continuously recovering.
“Even if I don’t sleep for a few days, I feel fine.”
“Oh? Really? After all, he’s talented.”
“If you are tired, I can help you with my abilities.”
“Really? I’d like to try it.”
The bald man held out his muscular arm as if he was curious about my abilities.
I created blood magic on a bald man.
There was no change on the outside, but I could see the area under his haggard eyes becoming brighter.
“Oh… My body… Feels refreshed. It feels like I just woke up…!”
The bald man shook her body and stretched, perhaps because his mind was becoming clearer.
“Cooker, hurry up and go to bed.”
“Captain! I will stay on duty longer! Haha.”
“… Why are you doing that? Have you been drinking?”
“No, thanks to my abilities, I am completely energized!”
The captain looked at the bald man as if he didn’t understand.
He is a bald man explaining the blood magic he received from me earlier.
The captain puts his hand on his chin and glances at me.
I guess the captain is secretly curious about my strength.
But other than the bald man, no one asked me to recover my stamina.
He didn’t bother me because he thought it was a nuisance.
I suddenly felt like a terminally ill sergeant.
It seems like the battle with the pollutants earlier helped a lot.
***
Time passed and darkness began to fall into the night.
It was a boring day watching the rear of the factory all day.
While I was dazed like that, the captain approached me.
“Aren’t you tired?”
“Not at all. I’m fine.”
“It’s good to have the ability… I close my eyes several times a day.”
He was handing me a can of coffee and taking a deep breath from a cigarette.
“Phew… Now the factory will start operating soon.”
“The pollutants we saw earlier will come.”
“There will definitely be different types of pollutants. There are more types of pollutants than you think, so it will be difficult to deal with them without a professional person.”
“You’re a contaminant expert. Are you here too?”
“The bald guy over there is a serious polluter.”
Bald man…
Come to think of it, he was the one who guessed what level of contamination it was right away when he saw that the bullet didn’t work.
“It seems like it’s playing an important role.”
“He is an indispensable talent in our unit.”
Not long after, a loud noise rang out from inside the factory.
Let’s start emitting smoke into the dark night sky.
Those guarding the factory also began to get nervous.
“What is the pollutant?”
“I can’t see it yet.”
“I guess it’s a luckier day than I thought.”
I couldn’t see anything beyond the fence.
Just when I was thinking that my first mission might be fun.
I got goosebumps as I felt the red energy.
“No. Something is approaching.”
“Hey, you can’t see anything? Even the mines are fine.”
“But. I can feel it. There are multiple things coming.”
“… No way. Captain! Scan! Scan!”
The bald man didn’t think what I said seemed like a joke, so he hurriedly called the captain.
“I understand!”
The captain operated the machine on the back of his arm, and a holographic light bomb exploded into the air.
Then, invisible contaminants began to appear one by one on the wasteland.
“Contaminants that do not react to landmines…”
“I almost messed up! They’re cloaking contaminants! They’re level 3!”
“Raise your rifle! Concentrate your fire first on the approaching contaminants to prevent them from entering the factory!”
Unlike the contaminants I saw in the morning, it took the form of an invisible wild wolf.
They smelled the protein gas rising from the factory and began to storm in.
Raise your rifle and aim and shoot at the running contaminants.
The pollutants fell one by one before they could even approach.
It seemed like they had succeeded in defending the factory.
But the battle began to increase.
“Captain! The numbers are getting bigger!”
“Foil! Let’s use a turret!”
“Larger.”
When a unit member who looked like an engineer touched the tent-covered object, an automatically assembled turret was completed.
“Take a taste of the new PX-99.”
The turret began spewing fire from its muzzle as the laser sight aimed at the approaching contaminants.
Unlike a typical rifle, it had tremendous firepower.
They were approaching with overwhelming volume, but when the turret moved, they could not get close at all.
-Boom!!
“Hmm.!? Mines… Captain! I can also see pollutants with special skin that I saw earlier during the day, one by one!”
“I will take care of them.”
“Please!”
I thought I would stop it without even using my hands, but it seemed like it was time to pay for the meal.
Strongly throws a red spear made of blood and turns approaching snakehead pollutants into skewers.
I wondered if the tide would turn.
-Cow! Kwaaaaang!”
“Hmm!? What. What.!”
When multiple land mines suddenly exploded at once, everyone responded to the ground shaking.
“Well. What is that.”
“Ah. Ah…!”
A huge monster shape began to appear through the black dust.
“5… Grade 5 pollutant… Mutant creature…”
The bald man looked at the huge pollutant with a despairing expression and spoke.
