Chapter 81: Mr. Ryu (2)

He thought that asking for more after already receiving help would be greedy.

Drawing a clear line and not crossing it. Thats Russells strength.

Ryu Min, who had been smiling, extended a bag he was carrying.

Take it.

Whats this?

Russell, who had received it unexpectedly, opened the bag.

Wow!

Inside were dozens of 10-pound notes.

Its a total of 20,000 pounds.

.

You gave me an item for free. So Im giving you this as a payment for the repair job. I think it should cover the cost, right?

Well, yes

Russell mumbled, and then replied quickly, More than enough.

Twenty thousand pounds amounted to approximately 32 million Korean won.

I wont need to look for a job with this amount!

Was it because he thought he could indulge in his blacksmithing for the remaining time?

Russells gaze at Ryu Min quickly turned friendly.

Realizing his situation, Russell hesitated and spoke up belatedly.

Oh, but is it okay for me to accept such a large sum of money?

Its perfectly fine. I didnt give you that much money just for the job. Its for the item you gave me too.

Actually, its not a waste to give him even millions, but if its too much, itll feel burdensome for him.

This was the extent of his restraint.

But Russell seems to think that even this little amount is a lot.

Ryu Min, who thought there was nothing he could do, hinted.

Of course, I didnt give you this much money just to use it for food.

What? Then.

Open an overseas stock account and invest about half of the money I gave you in Korean stocks.

Yes, the companys name is Player Place. It will soon become a big hit, so if you invest, you wont have to worry about looking for a job for the rest of your life. Well, its up to you whether to believe it or not.

I believe you. Your words as the prophet must be infallible. Besides, its money Ive received without any effort

When Ryu Min witnessed his commitment, he could finally take a step back from the negotiations.

Well, it seems my business here is concluded, Russell Daniel. I wish you luck in the next round. Oh, do you have a cellphone?

Of course. I use my cellphone to upload videos on YouTube.

Then, Ill share my number with you. Just in case, please save it.

Russell, absorbed in his phone, seemed to have overlooked asking something crucial.

I nearly forgot to inquire about your name all this time. Your name?

With a playful smile, Ryu Min replied, You may call me Mr. Ryu.

Time marches on relentlessly.

As always, that day arrived.

June 1st, midnight.

Just like before, Ryu Min, summoned to this world, cast his gaze around.

Instead of the lush landscapes he had grown accustomed to, he now faced a desolate wasteland.

This was none other than the setting for Round 6.

Round 6 is a cooperative round. I need to find people to collaborate with.

Ryu Min scanned his surroundings and employed his tracking skill.

The first person he located was Min Juri.

If he had to form a party, she was an essential presence.

In reality, besides Min Juri, theres no one else I need.

However, he needed to fill in the required number of party members.

The rule for this round was to assemble a 5-person party.

I need three more people, excluding Min Juri and me. Who should I choose?

He swiftly considered four candidates.

Among them, one person was a stranger, but they were vital to the party.

Oh? Its Black Scythe!

Min Juri spotted Ryu Min and approached, waving her hand.

Its nice to see you like this! How have you been?

Youre talking as if its been ages since we met.

Hehe, but its been a month, hasnt it?

Now, Min Juri smiled without any fear. After all, their partnership had been excellent in the previous round.

So, even without knowing each others true identities, we could still become friends.

Ryu Min looked around and noticed that peoples eyes were directed at them.

Whos that woman? Why is she talking to Black Scythe?

Democracy? Is she such a high-ranking player to be talking to Black Scythe?

Come to think of it, I think I saw her during the last rounds result announcement. I think she was in second place

Im envious. To have a connection with a top-ranked player like that

Ryu Min didnt pay any attention to it, but Black Scythe was popular among the players.

Being the unchanging number one in rankings and possessing a cold charisma, he was someone everyone wanted to befriend, regardless of gender.

That actually was a bit troublesome.

But Ryu Min had only thought about it in his mind; he hadnt actually done anything about it. And the reason was simple.

Black Scythe had been too intimidating.

An unfathomable aura had surrounded him like a barrier.

However, Min Juri seemed unaffected and continued talking.

Did you defeat the final boss in the last round?

I did. Even though the time was tight, you defeated it quickly, right? Then, have you completed the sub-quest to gather Balance Stones?

I completed it. By the way, I wont tell you what rewards I got.

Tch, how did you know I was going to ask that?

Just a hunch.

Ive always felt this, but you really seem to have deep insight, Black Scythe.

.

Silence followed, and Min Juri only realized then that the atmosphere had turned strange.

W-What did I say? Did I say something wrong? how embarrassing!

Belatedly, embarrassment washed over her, and her face turned red.

Ah, I-I said something too presumptuous, didnt I? Im sorry.

Whats there to apologize for?

Huh? Ah Right, why did I apologize?

Anyway, thanks for the compliment.

With that, Ryu Min chuckled, and Min Juri joined in.

Hes considerate yet exudes charisma Anyway, hes a fascinating person.

At that moment, when Min Juri was laughing it off

Hello. Black Scythe.

Two candidates approached Black Scythe.
