We didn't have the leisure to continue wandering around after hearing what Little Sister Goddess said. We brought an old Holy Knight and a demon back to the city and threw them into the Erosion Cave, a place filled with fire elements that could also accept the ghosts of the underground graveyard. We let them use the core furnace to forge equipment. That was the castle's armory.
"City Lord, the space-time tunnel has opened. The Reincarnators have appeared.”A few days later, I was drinking tea with Andrea in the garden when Sharan suddenly appeared and reported to me.
" First time…" I put down my teacup and sighed." How many people were there? How strong were they?”
"There are 132 of them, 93 of them are male and 39 are female. They have a variety of occupations, and they are all new players entering Samsara for the first time. In addition, these people were not together, but scattered all over the world.”Sharan replied.
"Keep a close watch on them. Don't worry about anything else. Report the situation of these people again in a week.”I said calmly.
Sharan left. When I picked up my teacup again, I noticed that Andrea was frowning.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"According to what Sharan said just now, only a small number of these people can live for a week. After all, only a small number of people in this group can guarantee their survival.”Andariel frowned and said," I know it's survival of the fittest, but those who died didn't necessarily have no potential. They were just unlucky. If it was in a different environment..."
"You've already said that it's just bad luck. That's the biggest problem.”I shrugged.
A week later.
"…The death rate is over fifty percent, and the female death rate is over ninety percent. Only four people survived. Two of them have joined the Blind Order, one has been accepted as a disciple by a low-level priest in the Church, and the last one is in Lut Gholein's tavern. She is expected to die within five years.”Sharan reported to me," Among the men, three soldiers met each other in the jungle. Although the chances of them leaving the jungle within a few years are very low, there is no problem with their survival. The other 23 people do not have a fixed source of income, and the rest have successfully integrated into this world.”
" Very good." I nodded." Continue to monitor them. Their mission this time is to live in this world for ten years, right? With their abilities, they shouldn't be able to reach us. As long as they report to me at the last moment, it will be fine.”
……
"You're welcome to come again next time-"
Looking at the customer leaving, I rubbed my stiff face, turned around and walked out of the counter. I picked up the wooden bar by the door and inserted it into the groove behind the door. This was my upper bolt.
"Uh-"
Stretching lazily, I patted my sore back from bowing so often before turning around and walking back.
He started a fire and cooked. Although there were restaurants outside, he had to save as much as he could. This family fortune had been saved up bit by bit over the past ten years.
Ten years, yes, I've been in this world for almost ten years. When I arrived in this world, I knew that I had transmigrated. At that time, I was like those noobs in novels who thought that I was the main character of a certain novel. After transmigrating to another world, I would definitely obtain some shocking abilities, or meet some perverted expert who was eager to take in disciples. At the very least, I could rely on the knowledge of another world to stand out and finally become invincible and achieve hegemony…
That was all a dream.
After starving for three days, I thought of this.
I'm a fatty, so I get hungry very quickly. I'm an otaku, so I don't have any ability to make a living. Looking at the beggars at the southern city wall, I felt that my fate would be the same as theirs, right? One night, because he didn't get anything to eat, he became a frozen corpse in the morning and was thrown into a smelly ditch. Like other people who died for the same reason, he either rotted in the sewers or was washed to a mass grave outside the city.
Fortunately, my luck was pretty good. This was a commercial district, and there was a newly opened shop that needed a small worker. I relied on my good looks and my eloquence from bragging online for a long time to get this job. Although the salary was not high and it was very tiring, at least I wouldn't die of cold and hunger one day.
But…was that really the case?
The business world is like a battlefield. Today, I truly realized this point.
Our boss is a good person. I've always thought so. "Although he's also exploiting us small workers, other businessmen are doing the same, so he's doing the right thing. Moreover, by giving me this job, he saved my life, so he's a good person.
However, on this day, he was taken away by soldiers and locked up in prison. As for the reason? There was no reason. Because his business rival had bribed the higher-ups, couldn't they just charge him with any crime? This was the world…
The boss was sentenced, so the shop was naturally going to be destroyed. Fortunately, I was smart and took some money. In addition to the salary I saved, I ran away in advance. Moreover, as a small worker, I wouldn't attract attention. Well, is it okay for you to run away from that kind boss? No problem. Good people can't be eaten.
Although I ran out, I couldn't survive in this city. Although the big shots didn't know who I was, the people around me at least knew me. Who knew if they would be short of money on that day and report me to receive a reward? Thinking of this, I spent some money and prepared to follow a merchant group to the next city to make a living.
Perhaps his luck had changed? Originally, I was only following them to seek protection on the road, but I was actually appreciated by the merchant group. I returned to my original job, which was a small worker. However, this merchant group was much more generous than my original boss. When they heard that I had two years of experience as a small worker, they immediately let me be a stand cabinet in a small shop. This was much better than doing anything else in the past. I only needed to observe some expressions, be eloquent, and have a sincere smile. I was completely qualified for this job.
But three years later, I quit this relatively easy job and opened a small shop in another city--this city.
It's not that I have ambition or anything. On the contrary, it's precisely because I don't have ambition that I left the Chamber of Commerce. Because I accidentally discovered that the main business of this Chamber of Commerce is not to sell goods, but to sell lives. Yes, this is an assassin organization.
After so many years of training, I have lost all of my drive because I don't have the corresponding ability. Therefore, I should abandon my drive and ambition. However, leaving that merchant association was also a gamble. I was betting on whether they would care about me, a small station cabinet without any foundation. I was betting on my life.
Fortunately, I won the bet and they didn't care about me.
"Dong dong dong"
Knock on the door? Who could it be at this hour? After all, this is a daily grocery store, so it closes late. It should be about time for the night ban.
"Who is it?" I wiped my hands with a rag and walked to the door.
"It's me. Do you still remember me?" A middle-aged man's voice sounded from outside.
“！”
My entire body tensed up. I would never forget this voice. After all, in my first year here, I would hear this voice every time I dreamed. This was the voice of the boss who led me into the Chamber of Commerce.
"Oh, it's you. Please wait a moment.”Without hesitation, I took a deep breath to calm my heartbeat. I lifted the bolt and opened the door. There was only one person outside. It was indeed him.
"Please come in." I used all my abilities and smiled at him as if I was entertaining a distinguished guest.
"Sorry to bother you." The boss nodded with a smile and walked in. He looked around and said to me with a smile,"I've long seen that you're very capable. Look, you already have your own small shop, and it seems that you're running it well.”
"Thank you, thank you." I closed the door and led the boss into the back room. I served him tea and water attentively, and even "inadvertently" let him see that I was preparing to cook.
Just like that, the two of us started chatting about our experiences in the past five years. Of course, I was telling the truth, and he was definitely not telling the truth, but so what? We weren't equals in the first place.
"Are you interested in returning to the Chamber of Commerce?”The boss suddenly asked.
" Well…" I pretended to be in a difficult position. This was reasonable. After all, I had my own shop now. Although it wasn't big, I was still a boss.
"It's like this. Because the business of the Chamber of Commerce has expanded to this area, I came here to take a look at the environment. I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance. If you're willing to come back, although I can't give you the position of branch manager, you can be the assistant of the person in charge here. After all, you've been here for nearly five years, so you're quite familiar with this place.”The boss said with a smile.
" I'm sorry, boss. I don't think I'm capable enough, and I'm very satisfied with my current appearance. I'm sorry…" I thought about it for a while, but it didn't take long before I rejected the boss's suggestion. The boss didn't say anything. He just laughed and left.
I locked the door again, reignited the fire, continued to cook, finished cooking, cleaned the table, washed the dishes, drank a cup of tea, checked the stove and door again, finally took off my clothes, turned off the lights, and went to sleep. Everything was as usual, and I didn't show any abnormal expression.
I didn't know if they would be monitoring me, because I didn't know if they had a purpose when they came here. Perhaps I had overestimated myself. The boss might have come here on a whim. However, I had to consider this. I had to prepare for the worst. Because I had no power now. I was just an ant. Moreover, a black shadow had already appeared on the head of this ant. I didn't know if it was just a dark cloud or a foot that was about to fall…
I didn't dare to raise my head, because if I did, the dark clouds would turn into lightning and fall down to crush me.
'I'm just an ant now, an ant without power. Although I also desire power, the power to flip this leg over, I'm just an ant now, that's all…'
