Tidik-!

“Aaaah!!!”

“Oh my god! Congratulations!!!”

at las.

“what’s the matter?”

“They said I was ranked A.”

“Wow! Really? I’m jealous.”

“You trained so hard that you finally did it.”

“Well…when am I going to go to A level? I’m begging because I can’t even get to B level.”

“Someone is C-level, but someone else is already A-level. Ugh.”

Some people express envy, some express jealousy, and some express pure congratulations.

Rather than congratulating people, Shine was happy that he had achieved good results by working with ‘Hwaryongyeonhwa’.

‘But isn’t the name of the weapon too old-fashioned…? What is Hwaryongyeonhwa? Hwaryongyeonhwa.’

Shine felt like she should give this child a new name herself.

I could understand the meaning of Hwaryongyeonhwa as I saw a dragon filled with blue flames shooting towards the enemy, exploding and spreading out like a flower, but I didn’t think I liked giving it a name.

“Is it really because you changed your weapon that you set the record?”

He didn’t tell anyone else, but since he couldn’t keep it a secret from even his closest friends, Shine told him what his record was all about.

Naturally, my friend showed curiosity about the weapon when Shine really set an A-level record.

“Yes. I feel like this child and I are connected by soul. We are meant to be.”

“…Ugh, anyway, just give me a kiss.”

My friend looked disgusted at Shine, who was obsessed with weapons like crazy.

When I look at that image, I can’t bear to say what I wanted to say.

‘I was going to ask you to borrow it just once…’

If her growth was really due to the weapon, she wanted to get a new weapon like that.

Her grade is B, just like Shine.

However, unlike Shine, who had been promoted to B-level for a year, she had been in B-level for only two months.

In other words, they are not in a position to aim for Class A yet.

‘He’s been saying it’s already been a year, but most ordinary people spend their entire lives in Class B.’

I was envious of my friend’s talent and sometimes even jealous, but seeing the talented Shine working hard made me want to follow in her footsteps.

‘You become Shine’s lieutenant. Hehe.’

However, in order to become Shine’s lieutenant, you must demonstrate sufficient ability.

You shouldn’t fall too far behind.

“By any chance, the guy who sold that weapon. Can’t I meet him too?”

“you also?”

“Yes. You went up in rank this time. I had to change the equipment anyway, so I thought I’d ask the guy you mentioned for a favor.”

“Uh…it’s not a bad idea, but I’m not sure if it’ll be okay. I’m not close with that guy.”

Shine was unable to readily respond to her request.

“Is it difficult to introduce you?”

“That’s possible…”

Shine kept hesitating as if his friend’s request was difficult.

Even if you bought the equipment on a whim, aren’t you in a position where you asked for it and finally got it rented?

As far as she knew, her friend’s family was not wealthy enough to pay for the weapons he was selling.

Moreover, your friend has many brothers and sisters, so you won’t be able to support him or her with a lot of money.

‘If they say you can’t buy it because it’s expensive….’

To be honest, I couldn’t tell you that even if I introduced you to the man, you wouldn’t be able to buy it.

However, I didn’t want to take on the burden of introducing a friend I knew I wouldn’t be able to live with to a guy I already had to impress.

“Uhm… I’ll ask you a question first. But I’m not sure if it will work or not.”

“Can’t you just take me with you? Actually, it’s impossible to buy these items, and I thought I could rent them like you. I’ll do the persuasion!”

From my friend’s perspective, I couldn’t miss this opportunity to follow Shine.

Even if I was a little shameless, I had to ask for favors and try to improve my skills.

I thought the family would be interested in someone who sold a weapon that could instantly elevate B-level to A-level.

‘I passed on this information, but my father will definitely reward me!’

Shine, unaware of his friend’s thoughts, felt burdened by having to introduce his friend to the suspicious man.

“Take you away? Without even telling me?”

Even when meeting a friend, you must ask for permission in advance to bring another friend with you, but it was very rude to take a friend without asking for permission to meet a man you are not close with.

“You can’t do that. That’s rude. You’ll be embarrassed. Just wait. I’ll ask the guy if he has any other items.”

“Sorry. Was I too greedy?”

“Actually, it makes no sense to carry multiple weapons like this.”

“Ah! That’s right. It’s not like those weapons are easy to get.”

Fortunately, her persuasion worked!

Her friend was not offended and understood what she said.

“I really need to ask for something. It doesn’t matter if it’s a sidearm.”

“yea, I got it.”

She suddenly found herself carrying the heavy burden of having to ask for equipment from a friend on her shoulders, and she bit her mouth.

‘Just don’t say it.’

I can’t believe I have to ask for a favor again in a relationship that is already so bad.

Although it may have been another friend, he was a friend who did not show jealousy or envy of your talent, but even said that he wanted to become your lieutenant in the future.

‘Yes, I have to do this for my friend.’

In order to grant my friend’s favor, I needed to build a relationship with the suspicious man.

“I don’t know if he’s eating well. He’s pretty big, though.”

Last time I was so preoccupied with the weapon that I couldn’t think of anything else, but this time I decided to tell him that I wanted to treat him to a meal.

And in order to keep his promise to his uncle, he quickly delivered the news to his family that he had set an A-level record.

Shine was proud of the support he received and the fact that he paid for that support.

‘It’s just the beginning. If you stay with this child, you’ll be able to go to higher places!’

Shine smiled brightly.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“mister!!!”

I spent a hectic time fixing up the general store and making various preparations.

A week passed by and the time I promised with Shine arrived, and this time I arrived at the meeting place a little faster than the promised time.

As expected, Shine arrived at the meeting place first and was waiting for me.

“Are you here early again?”

“I’m only an hour early this time!”

If that kid had a tail on his butt, it would be shaking and making a buzzing sound right now.

“I guess you like the weapon.”

“Completely, completely, completely! It’s crazy! I got to Grade A! Oh, of course it’s not official, it’s unofficial. Still, since I didn’t just barely achieve Grade A, I can definitely move up to Grade A if I take the test.”

The effect of the unique equipment seems to be enormous.

“Here’s the contract. The rental period is 3 years, and if there are no changes, the contract will be signed for an additional year. Every year, I will pay the rental fee. But in fact, within 3 years, I will make this weapon my own. “I’m going to tell you.”

“You can do that as much as you want. I like selling it cleanly best.”

If Shine hadn’t brought up the rental story in the first place, I would have ignored it coolly.

After finishing writing the contract, I thought for a while.

I was wondering whether or not I should tell this guy about my general store.

Currently, my general store is open, but it is a fly-by-night shop with not a single customer.

It was a store that was intentionally created that way, and there was no special promotion, so it was natural that there were no customers.

That wasn’t the issue.

‘How can I bring the character I selected to my store. ‘There is no such thing.’

It’s too contrived to pretend to meet by chance like Shine did, sit back, wait, and then gently seduce him with a weapon.

You can do that once or twice, but if you keep doing it, you will be reported.

‘There won’t be a big problem because I paid money to become a merchant, but I don’t want to go through all the trouble to sell good products.’

So I suddenly thought about it.

I wondered if I could leave it to Shine to bring the kids.

Since he thinks he lent the weapons at a loss to me, he will not refuse my request.

‘I have no intention of continuing to order Shine.’

What if we asked the student who sold the weapon to bring the next student?

When I saw Shine’s passionate reaction, it seemed like he would do it if it was a sales condition, although it would depend on the person’s personality.

“Uh…Uncle.”

“why?”

“Why should I tell you this… Do you have any more weapons like this?”

“Don’t be greedy.”

“No, no, no! I’m not being greedy. My friend is interested in your weapons.”

“Friend? Who is it?”

If it’s an extra I don’t know, it’s a pity, but there’s nothing I can sell to that friend.

“He’s my best friend, and I’ll make him my lieutenant later. His skills aren’t bad either. He’s already B-level.”

It’s true that at my current age, if I’m level B, I’m not a bad talent.

However, compared to the SSR character I chose, it was also a trivial talent.

Born SSR characters have stat limits up to SSS, but most other extras have a limit of B level.

Selling my items to those extras?

‘A pearl necklace on a pig’s neck.’

Still, I couldn’t say I wasn’t interested at all, so I said.

“I don’t sell things to just anyone.”

“That guy is really talented…”

“If you really care, bring me here.”

I handed the business card to Shine.

“what it this?”

“If you look behind you, there is also medicine.”

Starting from the academy, a path to the general store was drawn.

Although it is a remote place, it is close to the academy, so I think you will be able to come and go without any hassle.

That friend may waste his money, but he won’t feel sorry if he can get the items he sells at the general store.

“You were a merchant?!”

“Then does anyone sell the goods?”

“No, he was acting so suspiciously that I thought he was a secret dealer or something.”

A person who secretly sells goods even though he or she is not qualified to be a merchant is called a secret merchant.

Dark dealers do not pay taxes even after selling goods, so they are punished when they are reported.

It is a fairly serious crime that could result in expulsion from the city.

Since he was in a position to never be expelled from this city, the first thing he did was purchase a merchant license at a high price.

“That’s the way it is, so I pay taxes and live just fine.”

Although he had just started a store and had never paid taxes, he shamelessly pretended to be a general store merchant.

“I will definitely take my friend to visit! I didn’t know there was a general store in a place like this. It’s closer to the academy than I thought. I’ve never been here before, so I didn’t know what was there.”

He regrets that if he had known this would happen, he would have gone there a long time ago.

Even if he had gone there a long time ago, it would have been useless because he wouldn’t have been able to meet me.
