I Live Alone in the Inventory

Chapter 61

Hoeju assigned an empty house in the village as a lodging for the two.

“I will always keep the accommodations empty so that you can come and rest anytime.”

Jung-min and Leah thanked Hoe-ju for their consideration.

The ruler asked the two of them.

“When are you planning to leave the Thousand People’s Assembly?”

Jeongmin answered Hoeju’s question.

“I plan to leave in a few days. There are things I need to prepare.

I’ll tell you when we leave, so don’t worry if you can’t see it.”

Hoeju nodded at Jeongmin’s words.

The two of them greeted Hoeju and left, and then went to the house guided by the guide.

Looking at the tidy accommodation, Leah said to Jung-min, as if it had been well-maintained.

“I thought we were leaving right away, but it’s surprising. Is there anything left to do?”

Jeongmin shook his head at Leah’s question.

“I’m going to visit [Daesung]. I’ve been busy with work here, so I couldn’t pay attention to Daesung.”

“I’m sure it is. Let’s go. Oh, then this place…”

Jungmin nodded.

“Yes, I’m going to designate this as the third base. I think it’s perfect as a base since you said you usually leave it empty for us.”

Leah nodded, saying it was a good idea, and Jung-min designated the lodging as a base.

After a flash of white light, Jung-min said to Leah.

“I designated it as a base. Then, shall we go back to the room in [Daesung]?”

Leah nodded, and Jung-min opened the base gate to [Dae-sung’s] studio.

Jung-min and Leah pass through the gate and arrive at the studio.

Leah stumbled a little, but quickly regained her balance and said.

“I think I’ve gotten quite used to the aftereffects of dimension shifting now. It was a really terrible aftereffect.”

Jeongmin looked around and said.

“It feels like it’s been quite a while. Maybe it’s because a lot happened in the middle.”

“There are things like that, but I think it’s more like that because I’ve been living a life where I sleep only a little and go straight to the inventory when I wake up.”

“Okay. Let’s take a break for today, and we’ll meet Liddell tomorrow. We’ll talk about the progress so far and discuss what to do next.”

“Yes, let me do that.”

After the conversation, the two laid down their tired bodies early.

next day.

Jung-min and Leah, who woke up early in the morning, went to Liddell’s room and met Yamazaki, who was preparing for morning training.

Leah smiled and said to Yamazaki.

“It seems like I haven’t seen you in quite a while. How have you been?”

When Yamazaki heard Leia’s greeting, he put on a puzzled expression.

Leah, who saw it, made a mental connection again with an expression that she forgot.

“I was away, so I disconnected my mind. Do you understand what I mean again? Now you should be able to talk to Jung-min. You two can talk for the first time.”

Yamazaki was amazed at the fact that he and Jung-min could communicate, and exchanged greetings with Jeong-min.

Leah asked Yamazaki.

“Where’s Liddell?”

Just as Yamazaki was about to answer, the bathroom door opened and Liddell came out wiping his face with a towel.

Liddell looked at Jeongmin and Leah standing in front of the door and said with a very happy face.

– You two are here. I was worried because I hadn’t seen him in a few days. Seeing that you’ve been here for such a long time, you must be saying that you’ve achieved something in the inventory search, right?-

After hearing Liddell’s words, Jung-min and Leah nodded in affirmation.

Yamazaki left first due to morning training, leaving only three people left.

Liddell sat Leah and Jung-min down and started talking.

– It sounds like you have a lot to hear. Can you hear the story of what happened?-

Through the inventory, Leah and Jung-min explained the discovery of ‘Chiaran’, a new world in which [Trial of the Gods] was taking place, and what had happened after moving into that world.

Listening to the story, Liddell’s expression became serious.

– [Trial of the Gods] has been going on for 14 years. Giving up on clearing [Trial of the Gods] and deciding to live with the gate… Such a fool…-

“Is it okay? If [Trial of the Gods] doesn’t last that long…”

– Could it be okay? If it’s 14 years, there’s only one year left.

“One year left? What is it?”

Liddell answered Jeongmin’s question.

-If [Trial of the Gods] has not been cleared for 15 years and the victory or defeat of the human and the gate is not decided, it is considered that there is no intention to clear it, and the extinction process is started immediately. So the planet ‘Chiaran’ now has one year remaining. After one year…

Looking at Liddell, who made gestures with his hands and mouth as if something was being destroyed, Jung-min said.

“Still, there is still one year left. All the gates should be destroyed within that time.”

-How many gates are left? Would that be possible in one year?-

Leah answered Liddell’s question this time.

“They said that the gates of other continents have already been destroyed. Even though the humans were also wiped out… So, the number of gates remaining in other continents will be small. The problem is the number of gates on the continent where the Celestials are now… I’ll have to go to the meeting and ask them. They’ll have a ‘gate counter’ so they’ll know how many gates they have left.”

“A ‘gate counter’?”

Leah nodded and pulled something out of her inventory.

At first glance, it looked like a small hand mirror, but when Leah manipulated something, a hologram began to appear in the air.

“It is an item that can determine the location and number of remaining gates. Except for the location of S-class gates, it is possible to know the location and remaining number of all gates. This ‘gate counter’ is an Elan item, so the remaining gates It is displayed as ‘0’.”

Jeongmin looked at the hologram floating in the air and said in amazement.

“It’s amazing that there is such an item. Well… without such an item, it would have been difficult for Leah-san to destroy all the gates of Elan by herself. Oh, by any chance, wouldn’t the Junglim Branch have such an item?”

Leah shook her head and said after inserting the ‘gate counter’.

“This item is quite expensive. It would be difficult to keep it in the Junglim branch, which has a hard time even purchasing food. .”

“One more reason to go to the main body of the Celestial Society has been added.”

Liddell said while listening to the two of them.

-If it’s possible to destroy the remaining gates within a year, I don’t think there’s a better place than that. It’s a story that you can go to Kirsian after a year at the latest…

Hearing Liddell’s words, Leah nodded and said.

“I plan to give most of the remaining gates to Jung-Min. If you train for a year, Jung-Min-san’s power will be enough to work with Kirsian. Then, what we are trying to do will be much easier. “

-I thought about that… would it be possible with the three of us? We don’t need a lot of people because we have to take control of the leadership in a short time, but since there are only two people who can actually act, Mr. Jeong-Min and Mr. Leah… I’m worried. –

“Let’s think about that. Taking a goofball can only be a burden rather than a help.”

Hearing Leah’s words, Liddell nodded and said.

-All right. Then, I will set a maximum of one year later as the execution date and make a plan. I also need to think carefully about the route of movement after moving to Kirsian.

“Yes, we will destroy all the gates of ‘Ciaran’. When it is over, Mr. Liddell will also go to ‘Ciaran’.”

After talking with Liddell, Jung-min and Leah stood up.

Seeing the two of them go outside, Liddell said.

-I recommend you to go to the shelter leader. I seem to be having a lot of headaches these days.

“Ah, I was thinking of meeting you anyway. A headache?”

-You’d better hear it yourself.-

Jeongmin nodded, and the two of them walked towards the shelter manager’s room.

I saw a lot of people coming and going in the hallway, but I didn’t see any familiar faces.

Jung-min remembered Yamazaki, who said he was going to morning training.

‘Well, most of the Awakened must be in training. I can’t help but see faces I know.’

Leah looked out the window and said.

“I can see a lot of tents… On one side, there’s a lot of construction going on. It looks like they’re building something. What is it?”

“Ah, I heard that many people requested trust due to disbanding guilds before. It looks like they are building a building to accommodate them. The tents are supposed to be used until the building is built.

Seeing a lot of people sticking together and working on the construction, the two went to the shelter manager’s room.

There was still an awakened person standing guard at the entrance of the shelter manager’s room, but everyone was able to go inside right away as if they knew the faces of Jeong-min and Leah.

Jo Won greeted the two as usual, no, a little emaciated.

Jeongmin said hello to Jowon.

“It seems like it’s been a while. You look very skinny, are you okay?”

Joey sat down on a chair and said.

“It’s because there’s a lot of work these days. Anyway, what makes it hard to see you two because they’re so busy?”

“We also have a lot of things to do. So, what’s going on?”

Jo Won washed his face dry with both hands and said with wide eyes.

“First of all, did you see the construction outside?”

“Yes, I saw. It must be a facility to accommodate the guild refugees mentioned before, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. Quite a lot of people have come and are building a large lodging.”

“Isn’t there a shortage of things like materials?”

“Yes, because the items needed for the construction are purchased from the shop with their own gold. The problem is that more and more refugees are coming in. The space that can accommodate is limited, but the number of refugees is increasing…”

Jeongmin tilted his head and asked.

“Why do refugees keep increasing?”

At Jung-min’s question, Jo-won sighed heavily and said,

“It’s because of the looters.”

“Well..”

“They have begun their activities in earnest. They are attacking the scouting troops going out of the shelter, or raiding small-scale guilds that still remain. Thanks to this, refugees from disbanded guilds continue to open the doors of large guilds or shelters around them. It’s a knocking situation.”

“Ha, you’re already so active…”

Jo Won, who heard Jeong-min’s sigh, frowned and said.

“Currently, we are forming an organization by uniting among ourselves. As the size of the guild is growing, it has reached a point where even large guilds cannot easily see it. It’s true that I threw them away… It’s a situation where other shelters and guilds are having trouble because of them.”

“It’s a really big problem. No, so many things happen in such a short period of time…”

Jo Won began to vent his anger in earnest.

“Refugees can’t be accepted blindly. There used to be a large guild called ‘Ashen Wings’, but it collapsed after accommodating a large number of refugees. A plunderer came in hiding among the refugees. They infiltrated the inside and killed other Awoken. It twists and eats in. At a certain point, it rises at the same time and collapses from the inside. Seeing that there are guilds that collapse in that way, it has become difficult to accommodate refugees. In the meantime, strange noises are heard in China… “

“Does that sound strange?”

Jo Won, who had been speaking passionately, sighed heavily and calmed down.

“This… is the news I just heard through satellite communication. They say that China is making strange movements right now.”

“What a strange move?”

“Rumors are circulating that the time has come to finally realize ‘one China’ and that they are taking action.”

“‘One China’ is what you always say against Taiwan, right? So you’re talking about invading Taiwan? No, you’re going to destroy the gate. Why are you so eager to fight with your fellow human beings?”

“Taiwan.. not only.”

“?

Looking at Jung-min’s questionable eyes, Jo Won said.

“They are targeting the ‘One China’ slogan… not just Taiwan.”

“If it’s not just Taiwan… where else are you including it? Are you saying you included Korea as well?”

“No. It’s not just our country.”

Joey shook his head and said.

“They say they proclaimed ‘One China’ for the whole world.”
