Solo Clear Chapter 5

As soon as I heard the word store, I remembered the 2,000 Geny I saw in My inventory.

Looks like they got this so it can be used in the store.

"Something that some already know."

The first thing that comes to my mind is the kind of stuff they sell.

They may sell a large selection of goods.

"Just tell me why you locked us in here !!"

Lee Seul Ki still hasn't given up on asking them about why we're locked up here.

I'm sure he knows that they ignore whatever he says.

The reason why he was still shouting and demanding an answer was because he still could not accept the current situation.

"If you all don't come here, you will suffer a painful death 10 years from now. But, by practicing here, you will be able to live longer."

Just trying to get through the day is a busy task.

But worry about what will happen 10 years from now.

This unknown person overestimated the idea of the time that humans followed.

"I don't care about that !! How can I trust you?"

"Coming to this place is so unrealistic, and yet, you still don't believe it?"

Lee Seul Ki did not say anything.

It seemed like he accepted what that person had said just now.

Tightly closing her eyes, she lowered her head.

"Since no one else is complaining, I'll set up shop."

In the middle of the white room, a strange light started to flash.

While our vision was blinded, a building we had never seen before appeared.

It was one of the shanty buildings that could be seen in the countryside.

"Is this magical?"

Choi Min Ki started muttering saying he couldn't believe it.

What he muttered was not how the building looked seedy, but how it appeared out of nowhere within this empty room.

"The goods sold in this store will receive the currency used in this world called Geny.

Since we can't let everyone use the store at once, we'll have you enter one by one. "

Including myself, there are people who are angry after hearing this.

"Hey!!'

One of the climbers raised his hand to talk to the unknown person.

"What can I help you with?"

"Is there an infinite number for each item?"

"Not really. There are items that will reappear once purchased, but there are items that can only be purchased once."

That means that if an item is sold at the beginning and someone buys it, someone else will not be able to buy the same one again.

I'm sure the man thought the same thing as me:

The fact that one item could be something really important.

"Starting at 9, the first stage will open. Please note, if you persist until the third stage, there is a chance to return to reality, so please do your best."

The members were happy to hear back home.

That's what I expected too, but I can't shake the feeling that it's going to be hard to get there.

The weapons they gave off were not something extraordinary.

The only thing they have in common is that they can kill someone.

I'm not sure what we'll do when the stage opens, but I'm sure it won't be anything easy.

"The first stage will last for 10 days. To proceed to the next stage, it is recommended that you build up your strength as much as you can. I'll be back when it's time for stage two."

Whoa !!

The first thing I do as soon as they stop talking is run to the store.

The hiking group started running a while later.

However, their stamina was not comparable when compared to someone in their 20s.

In the end, I was the first esteemed customer.

Pants ... pants …

The next person who arrived was one of the hiking group members and when he saw

Me, he gave me a death look.

From then on, I knew they weren't your normal walkers.

Do they have a business on the mountain?

Maybe they're holding a secret funeral there.

Looking at the look in his eyes, I'm sure he's done it a few times.

"Is that the fastest you can run?"

The rest of the group met their members.

At the same time, they were trying to make the person I was talking to responsible for this.

"I-I'm sorry boss."

"That could be our most important opportunity and you're missing it."

"Please forgive me!!"

It made me question whether the person who was smiling brightly earlier was really this person with a wrinkled face.

He started walking towards me.

"Name."

"Excuse me?"

"What's your name?"

"This is Kang Jin Woo."

"I'm Kim Byung Chul. I think we should talk a lot while we're here."

Then, he stretched out his hand to shake hands.

The gentle expression he had previously disappeared and was now replaced with a stern face.

Is this how you make an impression?

Kim Byung Chul is back.

And put the second place members in line.

(PR: confusing here, IDK if he only orders a second member to queue or if he only takes second place in the line)

'Tsk, tsk.'

Whether it's Han Ji Suk or Kim Byung Chul, I don't want to get involved either.

I'm sure others will love the attention, but not me.

"Welcome to the store."

Pushing unnecessary thoughts behind me, I knew I had to focus on what the store had to offer.

I carefully checked to see what he had.

They have water and food, all kinds of dishes that you can find in a restaurant.

They have mattresses and tents so you can sleep.

Seeing how you could spend a long time here, they had all kinds of items that Geny could buy.

Furthermore, they had items that could only be used here.

'Wow.'

They also sell cards where you can change your weapon.

It costs 3,000 Geny, which means, we can't afford it with the amount we have today.

They had other items, such as, Knowledge Enhancement and Experience Improvement, but they were all marked with high prices.

Unless you are Geny rich, the price of these items is not very good.

I finally found an item that only one person could own.

But when I first saw him, I could not help but question him.

Field Training Guide Book.

It's a book.

At least they could give everyone a guidebook, but there was only one.

The book costs exactly 2,000 Geny.

"Hey. Um, can you talk?"

I looked at the store and asked.

I was hoping that maybe some kind of hologram screen would appear.

"What's that?"

"Will this book come back later?"

"No. We don't have stock of this book anymore, so we only sell it when it first opens."

"Does it matter if I don't show this book to others?"

"No problem. Once the item is purchased from the store, it will belong to the player and it is up to the player on how they want to use it. You can rip it off or give it to someone for free."

"so. I'll buy this then."

"Thank you for shopping with us."

2,000 Geny disappeared and the book appeared in my inventory.

I started walking towards 1 o'clock, which was the opposite of where the volunteer group stood.

Of course, those people were heading towards me.

"Hey, don't act alone."

Han Ji Suk warned with his hands crossed in front of him.

"Why are you following me?"

As soon as I asked, everyone froze.

"That's because we're a team."

Until now, I managed to talk casually with them.

It was clear that they were surprised by the change in my attitude.

The others waited nervously to see what I was going to say next.

"I'll survive on my own. I'm out of the group."

"What is h.e.l.l ?! What did we do wrong?"

I expected Han Ji Suk to be angry with Me, but instead, Oh Hana was angry.

"You think I'm a burden. Am I wrong?"

"I never thought of you that way.

Never thought of me like that.

Just before we were about to board Han Ji Suk's car, Oh Hana had the same expression as the others.

You don't deserve to be here, or something like that.

It was possible that he agreed to what the group had decided, but still.

Even if that's the case, it doesn't change anything.

"Only one person. Even so, you still have five people. Besides, I don't really want to hang out with you guys."

"But still!!"

"Hey, Oh Hana. Stop that."

Han Ji Suk is not the type of person who clings to people when they want to leave. His pride will not allow it.

And the uncomfortable look he gave me from time to time.

The type of person he likes is the one who listens and approves of his every word.

A man like Me who prefers to be alone and stand out is the type he doesn't like.

"Just don't regret it."

A regret? He sure knows how to make a nonsensical statement.

For him, friendship was something he could gain due to his status and it was also something he could use to his advantage.

I can't expect them to have great teamwork with him as a leader.

In a dangerous situation, I'm sure he'll be the first to drop his weapon and run away, betraying others.

To add,

If I die for My own fault, I agree with that. However, I refuse to die because of someone else's mistake.

"… Are you really going?"

Oh Hana was the only one left after everyone left.

"Can I trust you?"

"What ... is that?"

"Why did you follow his orders and choose the staff?"

"That's because, in a situation like this, it's best to listen to friends !! Do you think you're being followed because I want to?"

"… I may be wrong, but if the time comes when you're in trouble, I'm sure those people won't help you."

Talking bad things about her friends is really bad.

If she suddenly yelled at Me for that, I wouldn't feel weird at all.

However, Oh Hana did not say anything.

Tears began to form in his eyes.

"I'll go now."

"Heart of heart."

As he turned around, his face flushed red and he walked towards the group.

Is she crying? It was only for a moment, but I think I saw tears in his eyes.

What I want to say to him is not being dragged away by others, but he must have his own opinion.

Well, he's not a kid, so I'm sure he understands what I mean.

While Oh Hana was walking back to the group, she turned towards me a few times.

"Survive yourself .. is that a rude thing to say to her?"

If I had to go forward about it, that's what I'd say.

But, even if I say it, it will have no effect.

Oh Hana is the type that keeps everyone in the group alive.

He was also afraid of being left alone.

My saying that I'm leaving the group is a reason for him to think that the group can disband.

Therefore, his nervousness increased.

"I'm sure he'll be fine."

He is not a family, friend or lover.

I can barely take care of myself, let alone take care of others.

I opened the book to the first page.

After reading nine pages, I managed to memorize some information.

"Jin Woo."

Kim Byung Chul approached me.

Whether it be them or him, they will not leave Me alone.

I almost really concentrated on the book.

"Yes?"

"Will you sell me the book for 5,000 Geny?"

This man's boss is offering 2.5 times more than I paid for.
