Chapter 596 – Going Out
*

Having borrowed a large sum of 100,000 Qi, I left the accommodation with a thick bag of money.
The reason for going out was, of course, to shop for the equipment needed to mine magic stones.
But I had no choice but to hesitate from the start.
I only arrived here yesterday.
Of course, I don’t know where the store that sells the equipment is.
I think it would have been okay if Claire had been there at a time like this. If she were diligent, wouldn’t she have already done preliminary research to find out where it was?
But she wasn’t here.
I looked around blankly, but I couldn’t see any other prisoners.
“…”
The only thing that catches my eye is a three-way street where you can go left, right, and straight, and a huge barrier in the distance.
That huge wall written in the prisoner life manual is like a wall that confines this city.
This city was surrounded by cliffs on three sides.
The northern cliff is where we came down via the elevator, and the eastern and western cliffs are said to be where there is a mine shaft for mining stone.
And the artificially created giant wall in the south.
The prisoners brought in were able to roam freely within the city as long as they did not cross the wall on the south side.
Could there be something on the other side of the wall?
I’m curious.
This area may not be everything.
But there is no way to check now.
At first, I thought about calling Suni and exploring it secretly… But I decided to hold off on that for a while.
There is no ‘link’ here, which can be called Zephyria’s Internet, and electronic devices or machines containing magic circuits are not clearly visible.
Then, Sunni has no choice but to go out and explore like an ordinary human being.
And what if Sunni gets caught?
You probably won’t get caught, but that alone can cause quite a bit of trouble.
Was suspicious movement detected not long after the prisoners were transferred here?
There are many reasons to be suspicious.
Just in case, it was necessary to live like an ordinary prisoner for a while.
In any case, it can be said that he was granted considerable freedom for a prisoner.
Although these guys run a strange system that forces them to take out high-interest loans… Well, I thought it was better than an ordinary prisoner’s life.
I don’t know what other people will think.
I decided to move around as soon as I could to see the city.
‘If you’re a man, you go straight.’
Among the three paths, I took the direction that opened right in front of me and walked.
The street looked like it was covered in stone dust. The entire structure, starting from the bottom, was made entirely of stone, and not a single blade of real grass was visible.
Many people were walking up and down the street.
They didn’t seem to be prisoners.
Neither the clothes nor there are any magic suppressing devices on the ankles like mine.
And usually, if a person wearing a prison uniform were walking around, you would be scared, but there was nothing like that.
The way people looked at me seemed to be because they were curious about my huge size rather than because they were looking at a criminal.
They seem to be used to seeing humans in prison uniforms walking around.
‘Are you a resident living here?’
It’s a natural guess.
Another strange thing is that the skin tone is a little different from that of the Zephyrians.
Zephyrians basically have bluish skin. And the skin color varies from dark to light.
However, most of the Zephyrians here… We’re only humans with very light blue skin.
Of course, it’s not like there aren’t people with light skin like them in Zephiria.
However, if it were just one or two people, it would be okay, but since most of them had such a light skin tone, I couldn’t help but think it was strange.
As I was walking down the street looking around, I smelled something delicious.
It was the smell coming from the street stall.
It looks like a place selling street food.
‘What? Is there anything else to eat besides that green oatmeal?’
My curiosity soared, I approached the stall.
It was a street stall selling things like toast.
“Welcome!”
The lady boss welcomes me warmly.
She also didn’t seem to care at all about the orange jumpsuit I was wearing.
“Are you selling it?”
“Yes? Of course!”
It’s an expression that asks you to ask something so obvious.
Since I was only fed green oatmeal, I never thought I would be able to try other foods.
‘If you have something like this, there’s no need to eat that tasteless green oatmeal, right?’
With that question in mind, I placed an order.
“Please do me one favor.”
Fortunately, I had just taken out a loan and had money.
“Would you like me to wrap it for you?”
“No, just eat here and go.”
He skillfully toasted the bread, topped it with sauce, eggs, vegetables, and meat and handed it to me.
The toast I received was warm and had a fragrant smell that stimulated the appetite.
As I took a bite, the harmony of each ingredient filled my mouth with joy.
“Mum mutter… How much is it?”
“I’m 30 Jenna.”
“…”
… It’s expensive.
30 If you think about it… If you roughly calculate the exchange rate, one toast is 30,000 to 40,000 won?
‘This is a snow tang…’
I wondered if it was… But I was so caught up in the food that I couldn’t see it, and the price tag on the sign next to the stall caught my eye later.
‘Are you really 30 years old?’
The price was beyond imagination.
It’s not up to the level of a store, but it’s too expensive.
Perhaps she read my nursery rhyme… There is concern in the female president’s eyes. Maybe he’s worried that I might run away without paying.
This is my mistake for not seeing the price tag.
I had no choice but to open the money bag and take out 30 Jenna.
When the toast shop owner saw the wad of money in my bag, her eyes widened, and she said,
“… You’d better be careful.”
“Thank you. Do you know where there is a store that sells weapons or something like that?”
I also asked for directions.
“There is a road close to the way back. Where would you like to go?”
“Of course it’s a short road.”
“It’s a bit dangerous there, are you okay?”
Meanwhile, the hostess secretly looks at the money bag.
She was a good person who cared more about my money than I did.
“No problem.”
I took the shortcut that the female owner of the toast shop taught me.
I headed to a narrow back alley.
And the warning of the female toast shop owner was not wrong.
“Kyaaaaah!! Where are you going in such a hurry?”
“…”
Gangsters who looked like drawings… No, gangsters surrounded me.
In Pantera and Earth, if humans didn’t dare to attack me just because of my size…
In Zephyria, these guys believe in the power of magic, so my menacing size passive is greatly reduced.
However, even without using magical power, I had a body that was transcendently strong enough to make a person like Gregory into a blood clot.
So there was nothing to say about these scoundrels.
It’s just embarrassing to bicker with such a scoundrel.
I didn’t plan on running away because I was embarrassed.
The sound of blood splattering and bones breaking echoed in the narrow alley for a while.
As a natural result, the five gangsters, whose faces were all messed up, ended up kneeling in only their underwear.
And there was a bundle of bills in my hand.
“Is this all?”
I waved the bill and asked them.
“Yes! That’s right!!”
If you aim for someone else’s money, you have to be prepared to lose your own money.
“It’s the last chance. If I come out, it’s one finger for each Zena.”
At the end of my threat, he flinched and quietly put his hand inside his panties.
“Fuck… It’s done.”
Honestly, I didn’t want to take the money that was lying dormant in the guy’s dirty panties.
“Do you know where the store that sells weapons is?”
“Yes, if it’s a mugu store, it’s in the shopping district…”
After lightly admonishing the gangsters who were after my money, I moved toward the Mugu store again.
And I ran into an unexpected difficulty.
Can’t be compared to the bullies.
“Oppa, it’s here. I’ll treat you well.”
“Oppa! You really look like a man. Let’s have fun~”
Beautiful women line up on the street and greet me warmly.
Almost naked, they show me their cleavage and shake their buttocks.
A woman approaches me and hugs my arm.
I felt a soft, soft touch on her forearm.
With a bewitching smile, her hand touches my heavy object.
“Oh my! Oppa! It’s huge! I can treat you well~ I’ll give you a lot of service. Come with me.”
“I’m sorry. I don’t have time for that.”
Although I was a little shaken, I pulled myself together and politely declined.
This is not my destination.
Although it was unfortunate, I moved forward, promising the next time.
‘Still, I have to remember the location well…’
My brain created and saved an incredibly detailed map from my accommodation to here.
“Ah… Are you really not going to stand up? Hmm, then there’s nothing we can do~”
The woman turns around with a sullen face at my cold rejection.
(Isn’t it?)
(I guess so?)
(The size is distracting…)
(Eunuch?)
(Could it be… Don’t your taste be towards women?)
-Gossip and gossip…
In an instant, a strange rumor spread.
The expressions of the women who smiled warmly at me turn cold.
-Tall.
I stopped walking.
If you just leave after hearing something like that, you are not a man.
And this was a challenge to me.
As a man, there are times when you have to prove yourself and not back down.
