My Subordinates Are Insanely Competent

chapter 23



00023 #1 – my minions are insanely capable

#1 – My subordinates are insanely capable (23)

The pickpocket boy screamed as soon as he saw us.

“Aaah!”

Lina asked, trembling.

“boss. What’s your relationship with that kid?”

“Caesar cut off his arm.”

“Well then.”

Caesar frowned and added.

“That boy is a pickpocket. I stole the boss’s money. The only reason I’m still alive after committing such a cheeky thing is to pay the boss a ransom.”

“Well, you should have told me that first. Boss too.”

The slight sympathy in Lina’s eyes was wiped out.

Well, it’s pickpocketing.

I don’t care how pitiful his life story is.

What matters is whether it is good or bad for us.

Before, when the sun went down, I cut off my arm.

Now that it is profitable, I collect and manage it.

“boy. name is?”

“No…”

“Then your name is Rave.”

Lina showed interest.

“Does that mean anything special?”

“It is an abbreviation for slave.”

“That’s a great naming skill… The boss is also great.”

In many ways?

“I… this is the money I raised. I had only one arm, so it was hard work. Please don’t kill me…”

[Rave paid 300 gold as a reward.]

If you earn 300 gold for 3 days, you earn 100 gold a day.

Considering that the basic fund is 1 gold, I bet 300 people.

He’s such an amazing guy.

‘Well, most of them are NPCs, not gamers.’

Every labyrinth city spawns a lot of newcomers in the same situation as gamers every time they start.

It is a system for smooth quest and variable creation.

A large number of adventurers with an initial fund of 1 gold are introduced into the city at regular intervals, which is a support project carried out at the national level to foster adventurers in the labyrinth city.

Or, what kind of talent would people have to bring 1 gold with just the right amount of money?

It’s a national project, so it’s possible.

Aside from that background, no matter how incompetent little kids carry money, this guy without an arm and even robbing 300 people is amazing.

“you. Do you have a severed arm?”

“yes…”

“Since you have a lot of money, you must have applied for storage at the temple?”

Seeing that I was startled and surprised, I think it was the right answer.

Actually, I would have robbed more than 300 people.

Well, I don’t care about the money stolen.

It’s an amortization, and it’s strange that he comes with most of his money.

Rather, I am interested in other areas.

“Reena. What do you think of Rave?”

“Who’s going to kill you?”

“As a thief.”

You’re answering too bluntly.

that you are trembling

“Aren’t you pretty talented? I don’t know if it will end with the talent of a pickpocket, or if it will lead to the talent of a thief.”

“How far do you think you will grow?”

“Agility and dexterity, stealth and stealth, distance knowledge, and hostility detection. Because I can roughly do this… If I only learn weapon skills, trap dismantling, and labyrinth knowledge, I can’t fathom the limit.”

Lina, a senior official, declared that she could not judge. That means that Rave’s maximum growth potential is at least equal to the current Lina.

Finally, my party was in desperate need of a thief.

We can’t let this boy live as a pickpocket forever, so this will be a good opportunity for each other.

Rave may not think so.

do you know my

doesn’t give you a choice

“Rave. How much does it cost to heal that arm?”

“10 gold…”

“Why did you endure without treatment?”

“I’m afraid he’ll cut him again… I’m afraid.”

“What do you think of this?”

Caesar nodded his head.

“If I had dared to put my arm back on without the boss’s permission, I would have cut it again.”

“I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but my judgment is not bad. The only mistake he made was that he was trying to rob my pocket.”

“boss. I think it would be reckless to raise that cheeky kid as a rogue. Why don’t you get introduced to a thief-class adventurer at the Adventurers’ Guild?”

I shook my head.

“That’s not okay.”

“Why?”

“There are no thieves in the Adventurers’ Guild who can take the risk of you and Lina. It is more economical to nurture them steadily from the beginning, unless you plan to replace them every time as a short-term hire.”

Caesar seems to like my expression quite a bit.

“I agree. No rogue can handle a dangerous man like that. Even that young man is not a bad choice from that point of view.”

“Ahaha. What are you so happy about? Are you so happy to be praised by the boss after a while?”

“Who was happy? Assassination bitch.”

not praised

“Rave. Put your arms up and quit your pickpocket job.”

“Well, that’s…”

“I’m sorry, but you don’t have a choice.”

Rave murmured.

“I, I… I can’t make any money if I quit pickpocketing.”

“What were you trying to do with the money?”

“I just wanted to live in a decent house without starving.”

That’s a real dream.

It is quite surprising to know that at such a young age, the dream of owning a house was almost realized.

Without me, that dream could have come true.

“That wish. make it happen.”

“!!”

“However, buying a house is only after the labyrinth is attacked.”

I looked down at the rave.

“It’s more rewarding than plundering other people’s blood and sweat. A house where you can become a thief by your own power and live with the money you earned yourself. Don’t you think that’s a wonderful thing?”

“Money made without stealing…”

“I will teach you the techniques to achieve that. Live as a full-fledged thief, not a criminal.”

Rave nodded, wiping away tears.

They give you jobs, you give them skills, they give you money.

Eventually, he said that he would buy a house as a bonus.

It is natural to cry with emotion.

I don’t think I’m a very conscientious boss either.

[The Pickpocket Rave has become a new subordinate.]

This completes the organizational reorganization.

The messy organization management window has also been made clearer.

I feel like I’ve just finished cleaning the room.

I browsed the organization management window, which has become much cleaner.

[Organization Management Window]

<Organization information>

There are a lot of features that haven’t been opened yet, so it’s pretty shallow. As far as I know, there are <Hideout>, <Organization Skill>, <Organization Characteristics>, and <Organization Title>.

It seems that there is still a long way to go before the power of the organization becomes a level that can be used to help the members of the organization in earnest.

First of all, the public funds are funds used for the organization, and the 300 gold collected from Rave was completely filled in.

‘Should I check my status window in a moment?’

It was a short time to reconfirm, but there were as many things that had happened in the past.

In particular, the gold income from the first day was particularly high.

Even detailed changes such as skill acquisition, organizational formation, and equipment changes need to be considered at least once.

-Adventurer ID (top), crime guild silver badge (top)

Say goodbye to the shabby past.

Look at the thick status bar.

It’s hard to believe that you’re already the 3rd gamer.

The most notable is the holdings.

1152 gold 13 silver 5 cooper.

Converted to Korean Won, it is 1,152,13,500 won.

To be honest, if I looked back at the labyrinth nogada, the income I earned at one time was a little over 1 silver.

In Korean terms, it is only 10,000 won.

As experience accumulates, the money earned from labyrinth exploration will gradually increase, but the income close to unearned income was much higher at the moment.

‘It’s a good word, unearned income.’

Almost all the money Caesar made while playing chess.

A huge amount that can be exchanged for cash.

If you try to sell it, there are gamers who will buy it.

But I didn’t feel the need to.

The game has just started.

The precious initial capital has increased more than a thousand times.

I don’t really need the profit from selling it.

Then use it all in the game.

It was a pity that there was no hideout in the organization management window.

Just as the guild has an exclusive building called the guild headquarters, the organization also has a dedicated building called the hideout. There is little damage caused by having a hideout, and there are many regrets caused by not having a hideout.

So what do you do now?

You go to real estate and find a building to use as a hideout.

“welcome.”

Even though it is real estate, it is not literal real estate.

It is the city hall of the labyrinth city of Bram.

From https://NovelNext.com

Mayor Brahm nailed it to the city hall without permitting brokers to sell the rights to the land.

The mayor is one who can rule like a king within Brahm.

In other cities, at least in Brahm, according to the wishes of the mayor, land can only be officially sold at the city hall.

“Hey, if you make a fuss here…”

“Don’t worry. We have come to buy land and buildings.”

“I will not harm my life if I simply put up the sale.”

I’m sure Caesar has a lot of words.

The pale-tired city clerk was barely able to stop calling the guards.

In the process, Caesar fell into a state of silence.

“What kind of building site are you looking for?”

“Spacious and comfortable environment.”

“Specifically, how much space do you want?”

After thinking for a while, I answered.

“A site large enough to mount about ten annexes.”

“I… Excuse me, do you have any money?”

“Let’s say it’s not small.”

squeak.

It looked like a heavy pocket.

Then the city hall staff smiled for hospitality.

“You can see a lot of good stuff.”

There were many items for sale, and I liked all the items that were introduced.

In the northern district, favored by the upper class, there is a 1,000-gold sale that is a bit disappointing in a stylish and secure place.

In the shabby eastern district, there is a 500-gold sale where you can purchase numerous buildings on a huge piece of land.

In the western district where the general public lives, there is a 750-gold sale of a suitable size in a safe place.

There was no sale in the center and south.

The central district was filled with labyrinth-related facilities, shops, and workshops.

It is impossible to find a large-scale sale, and even if it does exist, its price is not at a level that can be overcome with a thousand gold.

“boss. Do I have to pay money to buy it?”

After thinking for a while, Lina suddenly asked a question.

“Well?”

“Isn’t it because of the territorial laws set by the mayor of Brahm that you buy land and buildings in the city hall?”

“right.”

“Then, if you assassinate the mayor, wouldn’t you be able to get it for free by intimidating or assassinating the landowners?”

“… … .”

Contrary to his cute appearance, this guy was also an assassin.

Truly a stupid idea.

The problem is that you really have the power to do it.

“Reena. I have something to tell you.”

“Five. What?”

“Shut up.”

Lina opened her eyes wide and was silently startled.

He probably didn’t know that he would be treated like Caesar.

The screening of the city hall staff watching it seemed quite complicated.

“Don’t worry. There is no way the lord will be assassinated.”

“Ah yes…”

It’s terrifying to see a shaky reaction.

Later, even if Seong-joo pretended to be eating and died, wouldn’t it be suspected that Rina assassinated?

The fact that it was convincing enough was really scary.
