“Ah!”
The way Hyunseong thought about raising the rating was a failure.
The method of raising Lucia’s ransom and getting the points back after Hyunseong hired him was also a failure.
But if you think about it, it was also natural.
If such a trick was possible, raising the rating would be like lying down and eating rice cakes.
“Then you must have accepted the offer.”
It was a proposal that had nothing to lose to Lucia.
“I refused. Like the sale of goods, the mercenary system also takes a commission of 20% of the hiring cost.”
“Ah.”
It was then that I understood.
Accepting the offer meant losing 4.8 million points per day.
“But things were getting worse.”
Points ran out as there were no players to hire them.Depletion of points meant death.
The situation has worsened to the point where you have to sell the items you have and convert them into points.
“Then he hired me again.”
“You must have accepted it.”
At Hyunseong’s words, Lucia nodded her head.
It was a situation she had no choice but to accept.
There are no monsters in the dimensional gap.
Of course, there was no way to earn points.
However, if you go to another dimension through hiring mercenaries, there are monsters.
“I collected points by hunting monsters and handed over 24 million points paid for mercenaries by my employer.”
Although the loss of 4.8 million points per day occurred, it was an inevitable choice.
The good news is that if you hunt while saving time to sleep and eat, you can earn more than 10 million points a day.
I had to pay my employer in points for nearly half of my daily income, but I thought it was a no-brainer.
Because Lucia needed the strength to return to her own homeland.
He couldn’t die waiting to hire a mercenary who never knew when he might be chosen.
“But employers are getting more and more greedy.”
The original terms of the contract were to conduct hunting and battle in the area desired by the employer.
It went well at first.
However, as time passed, Lucia began to claim the points and items she had collected.
“They said 4.8 million points a day was too little and they asked for more points. The loot obtained by the originally hired mercenary is the employer’s share, so it’s a natural result.”
It is true that there is such a rule.
But that was a possible demand when the employer paid the mercenary enough for hiring.
Even though he hired Lucia at a low price, he made excessive demands.
“Did you accept that request?”
“At first I strongly refused, but later I was forced to accept it. But the demands of the employers became more and more severe, and later it went beyond the limits. So I ended up breaking the contract.”
Waiting for a new employer, he endured and survived the dimensional rift.
But no one hired Lucia.
Lucia continued to lower her hiring costs.
But he had no one to call.
“I needed points to live and I needed points to buy food. Fortunately, I was learning water-related skills, so I could make my own drinking water.”
Lucia said with a soft smile.
“But it also has its limits.”
In the end, the point exposed the bottom.
“At first, we sold armor. After that, they sold shields, and eventually swords.”
Lucia’s armament, which was armed with legendary grade equipment, was changed to normal grade equipment.
“But even after that, no player hired me.”
All that was left was despair.
death drew nearer.
“Then my employer hired me. To be honest, I couldn’t even last three months.”
Lucia candidly confided her situation.
And he pulled out the real thing.
“I have a suggestion for my employer. I’ll hand over the minimum hiring cost of 24 million points for my employer to hire me once a day. I will fight on the battlefield that my employer demands. So will you allow me to live in this world?”
At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong paused for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Would you mind giving me some time to think?”
“of course. That being said, I don’t have much time left to hire. I guess I’ll just have to go back… … .”
Wrath!
Before she could finish speaking, Lucia’s body was engulfed in light and disappeared.My mind was complicated.
‘I was really lucky.’
Hyunseong said he was grateful that he was born on Earth.
Just because he had buys and sells wasn’t all that good.
If he doesn’t have anything to sell, he’ll end up in a desperate situation.
Although the Earth suffered a lot of damage, the first cataclysm was successfully suppressed with the power of modern weapons.
The 2nd Cataclysm also contributed greatly to modern weapons.
It was possible because of modern civilization behind Hyunseong’s rapid growth.
What if the First Cataclysm occurred hundreds of years before modern civilization and civilization?
Earth might have come to the same end as Lucia’s world.
‘What should I do?’
Objectively, there was no loss for Hyunseong from Lucia’s suggestion.
Points spent on mercenary hire are returned to Hyunseong as it is.
Conversely, Hyunseong gains the authority to control a powerful person from another dimension called Lucia.
