I Am the Only Non-Returner

chapter 25



25 – Each person’s circumstances

“He’s talking comfortably!”

When Kahi entered Eunchae’s room, they were lying side by side facing each other and talking.

“I heard you have to start working on it now.”

Kahi slams down on the bed as if she is frustrated.

“Hey, there are 10 stages left. How many people can you bring? 10? 20? Among them, what is the probability that the person you like will show up? What is the probability that he will make eye contact with you? A young man like Eun-cheol? He could come, and even that fox-looking guy, what? Suzy? What kind of Susie is that?! Even if I just look at that, it looks like he’s going to hit you, right?”

“Ah, okay…”

It’s been 3 days since I got together with my uncle. And in 5 days, Stage 21 begins. Of course, survival comes first, but considering the current situation, it will be very easy. As long as you don’t participate in that strange event.

And when survival for a year in stage 21 begins, Eun-chae must do it. What? Get pregnant!

In fact, this is the only opportunity to bring out Eunchae’s characteristics.

It’s not a funny situation to urge a friend who is just becoming an adult to get pregnant, but in this crazy world, crazy things are normal.

Right now, the man or others have no complaints about Eun-chae, but we will never know as time passes.

What if Eunchae’s contribution gradually declines and she ends up in last place? As time passes, the probability of a bad situation occurring will increase in proportion to time.

He has a low level of contribution, but he just wastes points. It’s a useless trait, so let’s just send it somewhere else.

This kind of thing can happen.

Actually, in the first round, Ha-eun was intertwined with the spirit gun and things went in a similar direction.

Even if her abilities are raised by just 15%, the contribution of Eun-chae, who was the first to combine with Mr. Uncle, will not fall to the bottom.

“So, huh?”

Kahi decided not to push Eunchae too hard.

But if you show me being lost like you are now, I will have to push you.

Because Eunchae is a delicate child.

Eunchae knew that Kahi cared for her, so she couldn’t say anything.

“···You know, you were earlier…”

So she brought out the story she had hidden for a while.

The man who carried her to her room after she collapsed from overexertion stroked her cheek a few times and left.

I thought I must have felt something wrong in my sleep, but seeing the man’s reaction earlier, I was certain I had touched him.

aaah!!

“Hey!! Why are you saying that now? So? Just touch my cheek and leave?”

“Woong, I heard you just left…”

“Oh! That’s right, but I guess that Gomtaeng isn’t interested either?”

“Maybe I just touched him because he seemed pitiful…”

“Try it with me, let’s sleep, how?”

“With the back of your hand like this”

“Oooh… What, you were so gentle as if you were touching a baby?”

“Ugh…”

“So how was it? Was it thrilling?”

“Why am I always so excited… It’s just that my hands are so rough.”

“Uh, this is the one, but when you do it, you can hold it like this.

“Oh really! It was fun, very exciting, Shin Ga-hee!”

Kkkkkkkkk-

The two chatted for a while and then fell asleep together.

***

Jung Soo-hak, who is called uncle, has been having a very peaceful day since coming to this shelter.

Of course, battles were always tense, and there was even a time when the shelter leader fell to the floor with his lower body soaked and had to be hurriedly cleaned up.

Nevertheless, I was satisfied with my life.

This is because in the last episode, I had a hard time mentally due to the premonitions that appeared in my head all the time.

Even if the situation was prevented, people’s emotions did not resolve, so the same problem would arise again.

But since I came here, nothing bad has happened, so I was earnestly praying that it would just stay like this.

However, she was keeping a close eye on Ahn Eun-hye, a former obstetrician and gynecologist, who occasionally looked at Suzy with disapproving eyes.

Although the couple was trying not to show it on the outside, I felt that they were in a very sensitive state.

It was natural. In a situation like this, how can you feel at ease with a baby in your stomach?

But anyway, that couple was the one who deceived us from the beginning. There was no law that prevented people from doing something bad for themselves twice.

In particular, her husband, Kim Jeong-gi, was showing signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder these days.

Will it get better after having a baby? I didn’t know.

My uncle slowly sipped his drink and compiled a list of people of interest in his head.

***

Nam Eun-cheol was a child who enjoyed lying in bed and daydreaming.

I’m still lying in bed, but the pictures that come to mind are not fantasies, they actually happened.

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter as I kept thinking of myself uniting with the world’s No. 1 Dog and bringing down my enemies.

In fact, the contribution rate also increased significantly.

“The first one was Tuto. hehehehe, this time is real, Nam Cheol.”

Euncheol was planning to quickly increase his contribution and request a trait.

“Oh, please release the intermediate skills quickly, I’m getting dizzy.”

Because none of the traits that were released now suited me, I read through the list of traits while waiting for them to be released quickly.

I thought of my parents for a moment, but they were people who never gave me any emotions other than telling me to study. So I tried to push it out of my head.

“This is where I live…”

***

Even when everyone was asleep, the husband and wife chef Kim Jeong-gi looked around the shelter to see if there was anything they could clean up.

Even though she knew there was nothing particularly dirty about it, she felt uneasy.

Coming to this shelter was truly a blessing, so I kept repeating what the shelter director said in my head.

“If I just do what I have to do…”

But will that really work? This thought continued to plague my head.

Strictly speaking, my wife’s and my own characteristics are just good-to-have abilities.

Because they lost trust from the beginning, it was obvious that if we made the same contribution, they would kick us out first.

In the end, those words were all I could believe.

“If I just do what I have to do…”

Kim Jeong-gi wandered around the shelter for a while, mumbling constantly.

***

Han Su-ji looked at the large man in front of him who was listening to his story seriously.

He was nodding his head, resting his chin and sighing lightly, trying to obtain information about his own characteristics.

‘This person is trustworthy…’

He was just a person with that kind of image. It also talks about appearance. And he is the person who manages the point of the shelter.

She had relied a lot on her director, Ahn Eun-hye, since the first session. She always did what the director told her to do and the results were always good. Of course, the end of the previous episode was terrible, but it wasn’t the director’s fault.

The decision to abandon the previous shelter and the connection to this place were all thanks to the director, so I was truly grateful.

And suddenly a thought occurred to me.

Now, the director’s role is over.

It was an amazing thing. Why was he able to be so loyal to the director’s words?

I even wondered if it was my will to go for the final bombing with the mentally ill person.

I think the director said something, but I couldn’t remember.

I originally knew that I had a strong tendency to be dependent, but after the world became like this, it got worse. The target was the director, and I felt that I was now free from that bondage.

I feel like I have inhaled fresh air deep into my brain for the first time in a long time.

Now, with a clear mind, I had to become someone needed at this shelter. Fortunately, this man seems to be very appreciative of my abilities.

Suddenly, I could see his strong cleavage through the open zipper of the man’s sportswear.

Gulp-

The man stood up and said he was sorry for bringing up bad memories.

It was disappointing. We can talk more…

Next time I will have the opportunity to talk to him. I need to get to know this guy as much as possible before new people come so that I can live here comfortably.

<09:00:00>

I couldn’t sleep so I was lying still and saw a message.

-200P

Our cute insectivorous spirits suck on my neck like that, but they still take 200 points from me every day.

I don’t know why they always cling to me when they can rip me off from such a distance.

Of course, it feels so good!

I couldn’t sleep and kept checking chat requests.

Pass, pass, pass, pass

Hmm-?

He is an ADC who plays in the field. Specialized in eliminating enemy backline dealers and boss mobs.

I am looking for a place that will definitely reward me in line with my contributions.

Absolutely no communist style!

Wow~ It must have been a waste to sell this guy. I think I posted this right after Stage 8 ended.

Just in case, I’ll send a message and go to sleep.

Ahh, I’m slowly falling asleep-

Tiring-!

Hmm?

Not a regressor: Hello. What would you give me if I defeated the stage 10 boss mob by myself?

Oh! There was still some left.

I see. Would you like to see the answers and make a choice?

Hmm… Now that I think about it, I haven’t done anything to Kahi.

How should we reward people who contribute highly? This is a bit ambiguous as it only shows the level and doesn’t come out as a number.

The points earned for stage 10 were 80,000. Because Kahi caught it quickly, I received 10,000 first clear rewards.

Total compensation… 15%? Is it too much?

No, they are giving Ha-eun 10% for each stage…

Ah, this is difficult.

Should I ask this person?

Dog: Hello. I already have a friend on my team who killed the boss in one shot, but I’m worried because I haven’t been able to give him a reward yet. How much should I give him?

Not a Returner: ….There is someone who caught it with one shot?

Doggo: Yes, there is.

Not a regressor: What are his characteristics?

Doggo: I’ll let you know when it comes.

Not a regressor: But why are you asking me that? You didn’t answer my question.

Doggo: Even if I think about it, I still don’t know. If you tell me what you want, I will listen to it if possible, but he didn’t say anything. Thinking about it.

Not a regressor: …… I will contact you again tomorrow morning.

Looking at the message carefully again, I think this person must be very absurd.

I was thinking about the reward system in my head and quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

<01:55:39>

Not a returner: If I want to leave, I need to get 5000 points through negotiation.

Euncheol’s price was 3700, but the rare character’s price was 5000… Even considering inflation, it feels a bit expensive.

“You need to have a character like this. An active style.”

Dog: Please tell me that you will negotiate right away.

Not a regressor: Yes.

In the end, after paying 5,000 points through negotiation and coming out of the shelter, a woman with a ponytail who appeared to be about 170cm tall was looking around at the portal.

The people in the shelter were watching from a distance, but their flustered reactions were a bit different from usual.

“Are you sure you’re not a regressor?”

“Puppy?”

“Yes, please sit down first.”

We sat facing each other on the sofa.

The woman in front of me was looking at me with a very curious look.

It’s a familiar look. I can count on one hand the number of times I have met people taller than me in my life.

Let’s have a thoughtful conversation.

Is he a person worthy of becoming our main original dealer?
