Jingung, for her, life was almost like writing down the pain in a different way.

No matter how hard she tried, the world around her did not change.

The same was true even after he had reached a government position with difficulty.

Luckily, he became a prefectural governor, but all he did was visit and mediate with local officials who were at odds over trivial matters, or rebuild dams in case of a drought.

Thanks to this, she came to be respected by the people living in the county she ruled, but none of those who showed respect to her knew that she was living in pain.

Because longing is the emotion that is furthest from understanding.

Every day was painful.

As always, I was struggling in pain that day when I heard the news from Luoyang.

News that a newly appointed official beat Geon-seok’s uncle to death for violating the laws of the country.

The moment she heard the news, she laughed heartily for the first time in years.

I had no idea that there were still idiots like that left in this damn world.

But that was all.

Because it was obvious that these were the words of someone who touched something that shouldn’t be touched.

So I thought I would never hear it again…

It was in an unexpected place that I heard the name Jojo again.

A letter from my hometown.

The name was written there.

This is the newly appointed governor, and the people of his hometown have asked him to find out what kind of person he is.

I never thought I would have survived without dying.

I thought I was talented.

So… I was intrigued.

That was why I accepted a request that I would have normally ignored because I was busy with official duties.

And the results of learning about a person named Jojo were surprising.

Because I learned that the idiot among idiots actually exists.

A human struggling to change the world alone in a world where everyone has failed.

If that’s not a nerd, then what is?

As she was following someone else’s footsteps, the era of Xishangshi ended and the era of Dong Zhuo began.

Nevertheless, the world did not change.

Thanks to you, I became confident again.

That there is no hope in this country.

One day, she learned that a newly powerful woman named Dong-tak had placed a large bounty on a man.

It was because the prefectural office was noisy all day long because of that story.

It was at that time that I heard the name Jojo once again.

Following Sipsangsi, it is now Dongtak.

Jojo Was that woman born with the fate of being hated by those in power?

My interest piqued again.

That was why I started sending letters to my friends remaining in Luoyang to find out the situation.

And as a result, I found out.

The reason why Cao Cao came to be hated by Dong-tak was because she kicked away the official position that Dong-tak had tried to give her and chose to run away.

Even though they promised to give him an official position as high as the highest rank in the world, he just kicked it away.

As expected, she acknowledged that he was the nerd of the nerds.

···I thought I would like to meet you.

And… we met.

Even though his face was covered with cotton, I recognized him right away.

It was all thanks to a man named Su-hyeon who did not give up and diligently rolled his eyes despite being imprisoned.

I never thought the day would come when my memory, which I always thought was useless, would be helpful in this way.

By the way, am I not afraid of this situation right now?

If I get transported to Luoyang like this, it might be the end for me, right?

Or maybe… I gave up?

Fortunately, it didn’t feel that way.

For someone who had given up, I felt like an idiot overflowing from my body.

This woman… was a madman.

A madman who will even endure the humiliation of crawling on the floor to achieve his goal!

That’s why I thought I’d like to see more.

How long will this woman’s foolish behavior continue?

So, what will be the result in the end?

To do that, first… we have to steal it from here.

How should I steal it?

If I were to force it, those who had their eyes set on the bounty would run all the way to Luoyang and report that Cao Cao was here… Okay, let’s do that.

My head, which had always been heavy, seemed to gain vitality for a long time.

For the first time… it wasn’t painful.

*****

Is it because it is the prefecture that governs this nearby region?

A woman named Jin Gung was very familiar with the local area.

Thanks to this, I was able to keep running without getting lost even once.

“Let’s see… If you’ve run this far, you can take a break.”

She was such an amazing woman.

When I look at him smiling and looking like a junkie, it feels like he has two or three screws missing, but his eyes are strangely sharp.

Should I say that it feels like looking at a well-forged dagger?

‘Once you see that hair color, it’s clear that he’s a talented person…’

So what is she doing?

I feel like I’ve heard that before somewhere.

Out of curiosity, I stopped by reality for a moment and looked it up.

In the meantime, I used up the experience points I had accumulated so far to raise my strength, which had been at 11 points, to 15 points, and my agility, which was fixed at 10 points, to 15 points.

Thanks to this, I lost all my points without a single spare, but it didn’t matter.

It’s okay to earn points again, and it’s better than begging for lack of ability at a critical moment.

Anyway, I was able to find out thanks to briefly visiting reality and researching the data.

That woman, who introduced herself as Jin Gung, was not only the person responsible for the early stages of Cao Cao’s army, but also a would-be traitor who would later betray Cao Cao, putting Cao Cao’s army on the brink of destruction.

‘Of course, it is safe to say that the Jin Gung that appears on the Internet and the Jin Gung of this world are completely separate entities, so there is a possibility that he will remain loyal to Cao Cao until the end without betraying him…’

You can’t just trust that one thing and let your guard down.

But what should I do since I can’t look at the other person with white eyes about something that hasn’t happened yet and may never happen…

It must have been a moment when I was just scratching my cheek because I didn’t know how to deal with the other person.

“The sun will set soon, so it would be best to start a fire quickly.”

Jin-gung, who was smiling despite the wary looks from me and Jojo, started walking around and collecting twigs.

Then, he took out what appeared to be a flint from his pocket.

“There is nothing more dangerous than starting a fire in a situation where there may be a chase… but since the weather is not helping, you have to take that risk.”

Everyone was wearing thin clothes in their haste to run away. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to freeze to death if you try to sleep without a campfire?

Jin Gung said that! Tak! The flint struck together making a noise.

The appearance was not awkward and seemed rather familiar, and despite his position as a prefecture, he seemed to have quite a lot of experience lighting fires himself.

” Instead, try this.”

“That…?”

“You can think of it as a tool that makes it easy to start a fire.”

“Do you mean this thing like a barrel?”

I’ve always used only flint, but when I came across newspapers, was my curiosity piqued?

Jin-gung took the item I gave her in her hand and tried to cook it. She laughed and told me how to use it. She repeated my actions with awkward gestures and started a fire in an instant.

“Huh… This is really something.”

“You can have it if you want.”

“Yes? Is that okay? I think it’s a valuable item…”

“It is trivial compared to the grace that saved my life in a crisis. Also… it’s something that anyone can make if they know how to cut wood.”

“Huh… Is that so? It’s so simple and easy to make… If this spreads widely, the number of people who suffer from making fires will also decrease…”

It must have been a time when he was waging a search war on behalf of Cao Cao.

Jojo, who was sitting comfortably on a nearby stump, spoke for the first time.

“Did you ask me to call you Mr. Jin?”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“Yes. Teacher Jin.”

After nodding his head a couple of times as if he had engraved the name in his head, Jojo suddenly changed his expression and asked.

“···What is the reason?”

“What do you mean by reason…?”

“The reason why he even lied to help us escape from Jungmohyeon.”

“Ah, um.”

“It looks like you are already sure of our identity. From your perspective, it would be much more profitable to take us to Luoyang and get a reward, right?”

After hearing Cao Cao’s words, he was depressed for a while, and then Jin Gong asked Cao Cao.

“That is the benefit. Who decides?”

An expression and voice that seems genuinely curious.

Just as Jojo’s expression changed strangely, Jin Gung’s voice continued.

“Even if it seems like a benefit to others, can you really call it a benefit if you yourself do not consider it a benefit?”

“Even though you had to give up your position as prefect to steal us away, is this situation more advantageous for you?”

“At least I think so. Becauseㅡ”

“···?”

“In Jin Mo’s view, the only person who has the potential to change this extremely boring world is not Balhae’s Won Won-cho or Luoyang’s Dong Jung-yeong, but the woman in front of me right now named Jo Maeng-deok.◦@ ◦

It must have been the moment when Jojo’s eyes widened slightly at the strangely confident voice.

“In that sense, could you please give me a job? I don’t know if it’s something that uses my brain, but I’m not confident in physical labor…”

Jin-gung, a poor girl, joins Jo Jo-gun!
