leave work.

It’s a sweet word.

Just leaving work after an hour or so feels like a chore, but escaping a busy space makes me feel like I’m on vacation.

Tomorrow, let’s ask about clothing and other aspects of life as a member of the National Assembly.

For now, should we let Black Cat and Hyuk Kirin join us?

Luoyang.

As it was the capital of the empire for a long time, there are many famous attractions. From historical places where events occurred to markets with lots to see.

Since I knew the plan in advance, I was able to guess where Black Cat and White Kirin would be.

“Hmm. Is this here.”

I looked up at the large pavilion in front of me. A building large enough to house ten ordinary stores is a single clothing store. Seeing so many people coming and going even at this moment, I thought it must be a famous spot in Luoyang.

I passed the signboard with the words “Cheonui Mubong (天衣無縫)” written on it, entered the store, and asked the waiter.

“Is there by any chance a pretty girl and a handsome man wearing a hat inside? I want to check if the group passed by.”

“Oh, they are currently on the second floor.”

Since they are two people with distinct individual characteristics, it was possible to find them easily even if they only vaguely knew the destination.

The black cat liked pretty clothes. I especially liked brightly colored, bright clothes. Perhaps because he didn’t have a chance to wear it normally, he seemed to want to wear something like that whenever he got the chance.

As one’s level rose, one’s ability to control the taeeumgi would have increased, and since an environment in which one could wear bright clothes was created, there was a high possibility that the desires that had been suppressed would explode. You’re probably busy choosing clothes.

As soon as I entered the second floor, perhaps because it was a space for women’s clothing, a faint smell of anger filled my nose.

“Great cooperation! This is pretty too!”

“Hehe, this suits you well too.”

What should I say about this? Most of the women choosing clothes could not take their eyes off Hyeok Kirin. If you glance at it and see its mouth muttering, you might say, ‘It’s cute…’ or ‘I want to catch it and raise it.’ Something like…

hmm.

Let’s pretend we didn’t see anything else.

“Were you here?”

“Ah, warrior. Are you here?”

“Senior! How about this! This!”

The black cat grabbed the clothes on the hanger and ran away. As expected, it was bright and colorful clothing.

“Hmm. That’s good too. First of all, how are other people reacting?”

The black cat was now wearing a cotton hat in the usual manner, with its eyes exposed. Wouldn’t there have been a big uproar on the street?

“I think it’s okay to just walk around the streets! I guess I’ll have to do more testing.”

“Hmm. Well then, that’s a relief.”

A woman who covers her eyes with a cotton thread is close to being immobile, but a woman who wears a cotton thread in a normal way still falls into the category of ordinary. This would be enough to go sightseeing in Luoyang.

Now that I think about it, there’s no need to worry about miscellaneous disputes.

Because I now have a public status as an external advisor to the Financial Services Commission. How many big bastards can there be in Luoyang who go out in front of officials of the National Assembly? If you encounter people with such great power, Princess Yuya behind you will deal with them quietly.

In terms of force, they are two supreme experts. In terms of power, the princess is an external advisor to the National Assembly. Financially, he is worth hundreds of nyang of gold, including the treasures and gold he received from the imperial palace and his original assets.

What is this invincible trinity?

It was a powerful combination that made me feel stupid for worrying about miscellaneous things.

“Hyuk It’s a shame that I can’t match Daehyeop’s clothes.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

In order to fit clothes, there is a process of measuring measurements and changing clothes, so it must be burdensome for Hyeok Kirin, who is a crossdresser.

“So, let’s match our senior’s clothes!”

“Huh?”

“Let’s go! To the third floor!”

After handing the clothes he was holding just a moment ago into the hands of the clerk, the black cat pushed my back.

“Go. A..”

The only clothes I have are a few uniforms. Due to the nature of martial arts workers who sweat every day, they bring plenty of extra military uniforms with them, but in the end, they end up wearing reasonably cheap military uniforms from a clothing store on the street.

In the end, the uniform is closer to a training uniform compared to modern times. It is acceptable to wear it in everyday life, but not in public places.

Now that I have the title of external advisor to the Financial Services Commission, it is true that I have to dress appropriately…

I saw the black cat pushing its back and the eyes of Hyeok Kirin watching from behind without stopping the black cat.

I sighed as I looked at two pairs of eyes sparkling with interest and anticipation.

I’ll be a living Barbie doll.

I had a feeling that it would be difficult to leave this clothing store in the morning.

“Ugh…”

“Ahh! senior! Why is a first-class warrior so harsh?”

The black cat was pounding me as I lay limp on the chair like a liquid monster. The hardships of being constantly manipulated by black cats and white porcupines, except when eating lunch and dinner, were enough to exhaust my physical and mental strength, but it was that clothing store that dealt a fatal blow to me.

The third floor was a clothing space for men, and there were strange things there…

“You can try on the official uniform by paying a small fee. Of course, you must have an official badge to purchase it.”

The ears of the black cat and white giraffe perked up…

I had to change dozens of clothes, starting from the imperial soldier’s uniform to the eunuch uniform and the prime minister’s uniform. It’s not just about wearing clothes, but also being decorated from head to toe with a black cat and a white giraffe.

The two of us laughed as if we were having fun, but I felt like I was dying.

Since I had spent so much of my physical and mental energy touring the night market, I had no choice but to eat green onion kimchi.

“Hehe. Since you have to go to work tomorrow too, let’s do this for today.”

“I guess I can’t help it. ruler! Let’s go organize the things we bought today! Pick out what to wear tomorrow!”

“Yes. I bought a lot of things today, so I need to organize them.”

After Black Cat and White Kirin disappeared into Black Cat’s room, I let out a long sigh and took out the setting book from the drawer.

Settings collection.

This is a summary of the knowledge I have while playing Murim World. Since realizations, which are merely simple memorizations, are the first to disappear from memory, most of this collection is about realizations, but it also organizes unimportant knowledge that seems to fly out of my head and knowledge that really should not be forgotten.

I felt the need to refresh my knowledge due to Master Unjong’s matter. Among those collections of settings, I brought with me the parts related to the imperial palace or the empire.

“Well, it has to be centered around characters.”

In the end, this collection of settings is nothing more than a transcription of my knowledge. As mentioned before, realizations that are merely phrases are likely to be altered or erased from one’s mind, but memories of characters in the game or the flow of the story are generally remembered even if some of them are forgotten.

Basically, the player is a martial artist. It is quite difficult for the Murim people to intervene in the imperial affairs.

Non-soldiers are not considered important in the empire. This was because it was common for warriors who obtained official positions to learn the martial arts of the empire and escape, or to use their power to raise money or elixirs to raise their martial arts skills and escape.

As a result, it is virtually impossible for the player to enter the imperial government’s ranks.

There’s no need to do that.

While the player lives as a martial artist, the empire also moves diligently, but not many major events that affect the player as a martial artist occur.

After all, Murim Heaven was a martial arts game, and the theme was the story of the Murim people living in the martial arts world.

You could say that the focus was forced on Wulin.

However, I am now living in the martial world of reality. Since he had already been delegated to a temporary official position that he had never held before, that of external advisor to the Jinui Commission, it was necessary to look into the history and people of the imperial kingdom as well.

“I’m really glad I wrote it all down like this.”

For me at the time, creating a setting book was a truly enormous investment. High-quality paper and ink that can be preserved for a long time are truly jaw-droppingly expensive. This is the chapter I’m flipping through right now. Even without considering the time and effort invested to keep a record, the cost of writing one page is comparable to a bowl of cheap noodles.

At a time when I was worrying about how to make a living, I wrote a set book that cost a year’s worth of food to produce, so it could be said to be a truly huge investment.

It may sound simple, but it was not an easy decision at the time. As I was clutching my hungry stomach and picking out papers at the bookstore, thoughts filled my mind as to whether there was any need to record things like the imperial palace part or the enlightenment of a low-level warrior.

The future history and characters of the empire. And while reminiscing about the incidents and accidents I experienced while writing the setting book during the times when I was often hungry, I dozed off and fell asleep.

“Come quickly. Senior!”

“I’ll probably be back soon so I’ll join you soon.”

Since the selection of trainees has not yet been completed, I will only show my face briefly like yesterday and then leave work.

Today, I was guided directly to Song Chang-sik’s deputy, not Song Chang-sik.

“Oh, by the way, I didn’t introduce myself. It is called Song Anseong.”

“Then…”

“Yes. The Admiral is my father.”

“Oh, the father and son are both high-ranking members of the Gold Council. That’s amazing.”

“Because there is no one who can handle my father’s personality, I am unintentionally acting as his lieutenant. The organization will be completed by tomorrow and the trainees will be given a day’s rest. After that, since you start training, you can rest until the day after tomorrow and go to work the next day.”

Today, I just took a picture of my workplace and left work, so I guess I’ll be on vacation for two days. It’s a completely shitty workplace.

“Now that I think about it, things like clothing issues and training manuals…”

“Hmm. External advisors are literally outsiders, so there are no particular restrictions on what they can wear… but they still need to be provided with a Gold Medical Commission uniform and an instructor uniform.”

As I followed Song An-seong and received various items, my luggage became a bundle.

“Wasn’t there a room in the instructor’s dormitory that was previously introduced? Can I leave it there?”

“Oh, of course. And if you want to read the textbook, read it there and never take it outside. That too is a top military secret.”

I felt dizzy for a moment due to the PTSD elements that creep in when I let my guard down, but I unpacked in my instructor’s office anyway. It was about the size of a typical guest room and had only the bare minimum of items, but even this was a blessing.

Compared to the trainee dormitory, which had no walls and was just a bed and furniture, this place was heaven.

Since I’m here, I’d like to show my face for a moment.

As I opened the door to the dormitory, the eyes of the trainees who were killing time gathered together. Zhao Jiazhu stood up and saluted.

“Chung! Are you here?”

“Hmm. Everyone seems to be doing well.”

Yesterday, I met Named in a completely unexpected place, so I left after just watching Jo Ga-ju. Still, I was concerned that even though they had been seeing each other for a certain period of time, they didn’t seem to have the slightest understanding.

“I am an external advisor to Geumui named Ho Cheon-an. I will be working as an instructor for this unit, so I will see you often in the future.”

“Chung!”

It seems that there is a mixture of those who were military and those who were not. The difference in skill level is as evident as the salute between those who have not completed their military service and those who have completed their military service.

The total number of people is…15?

“Hmm. okay. Let me briefly introduce myself and take a break.”

“Chung! My name is Cho Gap-deok. While serving in the Imperial Army in Shandong, I received a recommendation and took the exam!”

Well, a brief self-introduction began.

however…

“Chung! I am a re-injured person. While studying at my hometown in Shaanxi, I applied to the Jinui Commission!”

“Chung! My name is Gwangjaeryeon. While making weapons in Sacheon, he applied to the Geumui Commission.”

“Chung! My name is Kangchumoru. The imperial army in Shanxi…”

The names of all the people in the unit were strange. No, it’s not that the names are strange, but all the names that shouldn’t be heard here are gathered here.

Jae-sang-hae, who will rise to the position of Prime Minister in the future. Ore refining develops new steel manufacturing methods. Gangchu Anvil, which will revolutionize the imperial army’s tactics. There were other unknown names, but most of them were great people who would make a mark in their fields in the future.

“Hehehehe…”

What do they have in common? does not exist. Because these were people who achieved their own achievements in their respective fields.

“Hehehehehehe.”

No, when I thought about it, we had something in common.

These people here are all people who should not be on the Geumwiwi.
