Possessing Nothing Novel (쥐뿔도 없는 회귀)

Chapter 22 - Goal

Dox muttered and put his hand under the desk. Then, he pulled out an envelope.

"The money is 2,000,000 Erie. But... there were troubles. So two survivors. I gave 100,000 Erie to the apprentices and the 1,800,000 goes to you twol. Do Sangrang said.
It was because of you that you were able to eliminate those b*stards."

That was surprising. Do Sangrang said something like that. Sungmin never knew that Do Sangrang would emphasize his role in the quest.

"Do Sangrang agreed. To give you 1,000,000 while he gets 800,000 Erie. And to the spoils as well. There's going to be at least 600,000. You can get 400,000 as well.

"...Can you do that much for me?"

"I have nothing to do with it. Do Sangrang said that."

Dox said.

"Let's stop this and I want to get to the point."

"Yes?"

Sungmin pretended that he didn't' know. He said that, but he knew why Dox brought him here.'

"Don't you have any thought of becoming a mercenary?"

It was that.

"Do Sangrang said. You are between the second and first rate, very close to the first rate. That's surprising. Much surprising if you're a No Class as well."

Dox touched his glasses.

"You're very young. If you keep growing like this, you're going to be a first rate, and maybe even become a master depending on the effort."

"...that... is true?"

Sungmin answered. He knew that wasn't easy. To Dox who didn't know Sungmin, Sungmin was probably a genius. Even though he wasn't.

"If you become a mercenary, we're going to give you a D rank. If you complete a few tasks, you will definitely get up to C rank. If you get up to a first rate, you could be a B rank. How is that?"

Dox asked. Sungmin stayed silent for a while. It wasn't bad. If he became a D rank, it would give him enough money to live without taking any request.

"...Thank you for the offer..."

But Sungmin refused. He couldn't be a mercenary. He needed the Intelligence Potion that the No Class Fight would give him. He needed that to bring his inner strength up. A mercenary couldn't compete in that.

"What a shame."

Dox nodded. He didn't offer anymore and handed the money envelope.

"If you change your mind, come back again."

"...thank you."

Sungmin put the money in his pocket. Dox muttered as Sungmin walked away.

"You're not like your age."

"Yes?"

"You aren't like a 14 year old. Well, incidents change your mind. If I was summoned at a young age, I would have gone crazy.

Dox seemed to understand. Sungmin smiled bitterly and left the guild.

'I need to grow older.'

Everything aside, the acting like a young kid was killing him.

"Why were you so late?"

He heard grumbles as soon as he came in the inn. It was Wijihoyun. She was looking with a mad face towards Sungmin. Sungmin looked at the food on the dishes.
