Chapter 12
“Also! Business should be fair like this!!!”
Unlike the Kkondae who just ran a business next door, the sense of accomplishment is not a joke because he earns money fairly. After all, it seems that people are corporations that must act honestly.
[The Goddess of Destiny questions what just happened.]
okay. Think of it like that. There’s nothing for you to figure out anyway.
Even if he wants to investigate my abilities, there is no way to find out. Adjusting the effect quality is effectively equivalent to regression.
Of course, in terms of performance, regression is overwhelming, but in terms of class, it is the same system ability, so even if the constellation investigates, there will be no way to find out.
“Heh heh heh heh. OK. This is enough for the initial funding.”
“How did I ever choose such a man as the owner? Whoa…”
Cage groaned, sighing deeply, as if regretful.
“No, I’m glad I chose a talented person like me as the owner.”
In fact, I earned 4 gold in less than an hour without spending any money. In terms of currency, that’s 40,000 won.
Therefore, it would be a great fortune for Cage who follows a master like me.
cancer. not like that
That’s how I’m proud of having earned 400,000 won in cash through a legitimate business. Next to her, she tilts her head in disbelief.
“But master. Why are you doing business like that? Isn’t the owner’s house enough money?”
“Ummm… Actually, I’m talking now, but I lost pocket money and support from my family.”
“What, what?!”
She was shocked by my candid confession, so her eyes grew as big as soccer balls.
Cage groaned and managed to speak.
“That, then. Are you saying you cheated on me?!”
“What do you say? Anyone who sees it would know that I was really cheating.”
[The goddess who sees fate asks if so.]
Of course not!
I just didn’t say anything, and none of what I said was a lie.
There is no shame in looking up to the sky.
Cage was absurd for a moment because of my dignified attitude, and after being silent for a few seconds, her face suddenly turned red.
“profit!”
Even if he pretends to be an adult, he seems to be a child at the root. Usually the young guys get excited and make those kinds of noises, but the cage was no different.
“First. Calm down. hey. Can’t you believe me?”
“If it’s the owner, would you trust the owner? Do you know what the world calls the owner?”
“Ummm… are you a handsome bastard?”
[The goddess who sees fate says that your brazenness is ridiculous.]
F * UCK. what! That’s not wrong!
To be honest, it is undeniable that Kane’s face is obviously incredibly handsome, except for the personality and image of me.
You have to admit that you have to admit.
It’s never because this is my face. It’s only because Kane is handsome.
“…does the master overestimate himself too much? It’s good-looking, but I won’t deny it. It has already spread to the Leicton Continent, saying that the owner’s evaluation is that he only drinks alcohol, is incompetent, and that his personality is not even trash.”
[The goddess who sees fate seems to sympathize with those words too much.]
F * UCK. You kill people with facts.
If it was Kane now, not me, he would have died in the hull.
by the way. That’s not my evaluation, it’s Kane, so to be honest, it doesn’t do much damage to me.
“hey. hey. The original rumors are exaggerated. So, does it look like a rumor to you?”
“·····no.”
Cage, who had nothing to say to my question, shook her head with a sullen expression.
“Honestly, the personality of the owner is not much different from the rumors. Definitely not incompetent.”
Is this a compliment?
He seems to acknowledge my abilities, but he says that his personality is not much different from that of Kane.
no. Still, I’m not comparing myself to that guy.
Of course, I was doing business using the placebo effect rather than the sa…
Compared to him, honestly, I’m no different than an angel.
“okay. Are you saying that I can pass away insults like compliments and eventually acknowledge my abilities?”
“yes.”
“Then trust me. I’ll show you how this oppa can get some pocket money, support, and restore it right away.”
In the end, Cage realized that he had no choice and nodded as if he had no choice.
So we moved to our next destination, the potion shop.
***
Like a slum, the walls and signboards that were about to collapse soon had already been smashed and fell to the floor, and there were cobwebs in the corners.
Cage looks at the store in front of him and licks his lips in disbelief.
Judging by the reaction, it seems that he is contemplating what to say.
After three seconds in that state, she slowly opened her mouth.
“host. Isn’t it weird that one of the two places, the left brain or the right brain, is weird?”
“yes. no. This kid.”
A guy who wasn’t even that old was already hitting the left brain, right brain, and drip, and without realizing it, the cursing came out of me.
But it’s not unreasonable for him to say things like that.
To be honest, in the eyes of someone who doesn’t know anything, treating the building in front of them as a shop is a waste.
To be honest, if I were a cage, I think I’d miss it.
But.
That’s when you don’t know anything.
The building in front of you may seem unanswered, but in fact, it is a hidden shop often used by the deceased in the game.
The reason is obvious, but the potions made at this shop are of different quality.
Of course, the downside is that it is a bit expensive, but honestly, compared to the quality, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is cheap rather than expensive.
Thanks to that, it was the rule of thumb for the deceased to go to this store unconditionally.
Anyway, let’s go in now.
– Profit!
“Welcome to…”
When I opened the door and entered the store, a woman who wore round glasses that half covered her face, but still had clear features, greeted me with a timid voice.
Seeing something actually makes me feel weird.
Come to think of it, since I took possession of the game, except for Kim Soo-yong, the characters I’ve seen so far haven’t had much to do with me.
It is undeniable that Riche, Bilg, Cage Thomas, and Philip are NPCs in the game, but nonetheless, they are not the main characters like Kim Soo-yong.
Of course, Karin, the owner of the hidden shop in front of you, is also not an important NPC. However, since I purchase potions through her every day, to be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that Karin is the NPC I see the most except for the main character.
It feels like I’m back in the game again.
“Master, why are you so dumbfounded?”
“Uh, uh, yes.”
Cage tapped my side with her elbow to get me out of my thoughts.
“Perhaps. Do you sell beginner stamina potions?”
“Ah… yep. I am selling it now. that, but It will be a bit expensive.”
“How much do you have?”
To my question, Karin bowed her head and answered in a timid voice.
“Three, three silver yo….”
“What, what?!”
At Karin’s words, Cage’s pupils widened for an instant. Shortly thereafter, he screamed in extreme excitement.
“Where are you scamming?! How is it that only low-level health potions are 3 silver!!!! If you’re going to cheat, at least make it plausible!!!!”
“Hey!! Ha, but compared to other places in our shop, the potion quality is so good. So, to be honest, I was prepared to lose even 3 silvers…”
Karin did everything she had to say, twitching her fingers while being scared by the little boy. Cage looked at her dissatisfied for a moment before shifting her gaze to me.
“Master, don’t you really want to buy that one? To be honest, if you buy it elsewhere, it should be expensive, about 2 silver.”
[The goddess who sees fate pays great attention to your choice.]
“Hmmm…”
I don’t know about cage. That potion is just a beginner’s potion in its name.
In fact, in terms of performance, the low-grade potions made by Karin are more than intermediate.
If you look at selling such a thing for 3 silver, frankly, it is not wrong to say that it is making a loss.
“Then can you give me nine silver?”
“Yes Yes?!”
“What, what?!”
No, sir, why are you surprised?
Well, that’s roughly the reason why I’m not sure how to live.
Judging from her reaction, it is clear that there were hardly any guests.
Cage, on the other hand, looks at me with a hard face.
“Are you really going to live?”
“yes.”
[The goddess who sees fate calls you Hogu.]
Oh… Then you stop paying attention to me now?
Contrary to expectations, he continued to send messages as if he had read my heart.
[The goddess who sees fate is said to be watching you more in case you don’t know.]
no. just go You look at me and say you’re a hogu!!
Usually, people watching do not like to see Hogu-myeon, but he says that he watches me more, contrary to what he says.
I almost spit out a vulgar swear word for a moment, but if I paid any attention to him, I’m sure he’d like it more, so I swallowed it back down my throat again.
“Haha, because it’s the owner’s money. I don’t even know what to say anymore. I don’t know anymore! Do whatever you feel like! huh!!”
Eventually, Cage puffed up his cheeks and shook his head, knowing that I wouldn’t listen to him.
After giving me 1 gold like that, Karin offered me 3 beginner stamina potions and 1 silver.
“exactly. The potion quality looks good. Usually beginner potions are light in concentration, but the potions you make are thicker than others. If this is enough, I think the performance will be above the intermediate potion. Hmmm… I don’t understand why this store is going bankrupt.”
“Go, thank you.”
At my humble compliment, Karin bowed her back at a right angle as if she didn’t know where to put her body.
Hmmm… Shall I just reveal my identity now? I don’t think it would be a bad idea to have a good image.
To be honest, I came here for two reasons.
One is, of course, to obtain a high-quality potion, and the other is to throw rice cakes to make a contract with this shop.
No, to be honest, it doesn’t matter too much to buy potions elsewhere in the current plan. However, considering the future, it is not an exaggeration to say that I came here to make a good impression on Karin.
First impressions are really important.
OK. Let’s take off the mask.
“It’s a good shop. I hope to be successful one day.”
“Ahh. Yes… yep?!”
Karin bites her tongue as if she didn’t know that I really was the crazy Kane. He wiped his hands with his clothes, wiping away tears. Like a priest meeting a god, he shook his hand and clasped it.
“Then we will go. I want you to think of 1 silver as a tip and accept it.”
“Ahh! yes! thank you Good job…”
As I left the store, Cage next to me looked at me with a blank expression.
“really. The master’s acting skills are great. At the very least, I was almost deceived.”
“yes? What are you talking about? what did i play I was just telling the truth. By the way, the potions I bought now are of really good quality.”
Cage narrows her eyes at my words.
“Master, don’t think that I’m a child and you will be deceived by such a lie. To be honest, there is no way such a beginner potion would be as good as the owner said.”
This little guy doesn’t believe me even if I tell the truth. you will regret it later
Later, when I saw Karin’s potion performance, it was clear that she was shocked.
***
So this time, we bought all the seeds of 1 gold worth of vegetables, fruits, etc. Then we walked to David’s mansion.
“Cage, transform yourself into a puppy.”
“yes? Why?”
“you also. You know my situation. If I bring you in under the current circumstances, the family will see it worse.”
She nodded as if she understood.
-pop!
He transformed from a little kid to a cute puppy again.
Two guards look at me and salute me.
““Loyalty!!””
“yes. okay. And the dog following me was brought in, so let me in.”
“yes. All right.”
The two guards who were trying to stop Cage from entering the mansion listened to my orders and stopped blocking. Cage followed after me.
“Master, will you feed me today?”
“Why are you asking something obvious?”
That little boy said I treat him well, didn’t he believe it?
It’s really sad that you can’t trust someone who doesn’t know how to cheat like me.
Cage wags his tail as if he’s really happy to have a hot meal after a long time.

Me and Cage entered the mansion. Of course, I did not want to harm the maid who cleaned the floor, so I hugged her.
As I lifted the cage, Philip came up to me.
“Master, I will listen.”
“no. i’ll listen Instead, you attend and bring food to my room. A little too much.”
“All right.”
At my command, Philip bowed his head. I walked towards the kitchen with the maids who were nearby.
Whoa… is it because he has something so suspicious? Why are you so reluctant?

Maybe I’m the only one who feels that way, too, and Cage sticks out his tongue and gasps.
·····is not it? Are you just doing this because you’re hungry?
***
When I got to my room and waited for about 30 minutes, someone knocked on my room as if it was already ready.
Smart!
“Master, this is Philip. I brought food.”
“okay. come in.”
Phillip listened to me and opened the door. After that, the maids brought white rice, luxurious-looking bread, steaming soup, and juicy beef.
F * UCK. Come to think of it, I haven’t even eaten a proper meal yet.
As I struggled to live, I didn’t eat properly after taking possession of myself.
“Put those foods on my desk and leave.”
“All right. young master.”
After the maids put all the food they had brought on my desk, all of them, including Philip, bowed their heads and left.
“”meal. Have fun. young master.””
“yes. You worked hard to bring them all.”
Unlike Richie, the guys who couldn’t adapt to the words of my hard work closed the door with complicated and subtle faces.
Cage looks at me with bright eyes and asks if she can eat now.
“let’s eat.”
As soon as I finished my words, she released her transformation without hesitation. Suddenly, he reached out for the food in front of him as if he had been starving for several days.
“Big, blah! I think I did a good job following the real master.”
“Yes. okay.”
The child sheds tears like chicken poop as he puts food in his mouth at how pitiful he lived in a slum.
It’s kind of like when I was in the military when I ate a tear-soaked chocolate pie.
– Bump!
“young master!! I can feel a suspicious presence in the room!!”
“yes?”
“Uh, huh?”
While we were wasting our food for a while. Richie opened the door with an urgent look.
Cage suddenly opened the door and met Richie’s eyes. Still, she steadfastly put the bread in her mouth while waving her tail softly.
