Chapter 19
The next morning, I was almost out of supplies . Jung Heewon stared at the convenience store bags as if she couldn't believe it . "Oh my god, it is sold out?"
"Yes . "
"Ha, really funny . Everyone was just watching and now…"
"Nope, it wasn't just the marginalized group . "
The guests who came in the middle of the night weren't just members of the marginalized group .
"Kim Dokja-ssi, you are making the worst choice . " Among them was Cheon Inho . "You will regret it . "
More than half the food I had was taken by the mainstream group . Of course, they paid the exact amount . Jung Heewon was enraged after hearing the story . "Wait a minute . Then the mainstream group will just monopolize the food again?"
"Something like that . "
"No, what is this? Weren't you going to weaken the power of the mainstream group by promoting transactions among the people?"
It was an unexpected insight . I responded with a bit of admiration, "That's correct . That was the intent . I wanted people to move voluntarily . "
"Then why did you sell food to the mainstream group? The situation won't change!"
"It has changed . I have obtained coins . "
"Huh?" It was 1,450 coins, a huge income for one night . "No…what is Dokja-ssi thinking? Sangah-ssi, can we really trust this man?"
Yoo Sangah flinched as attention suddenly turned to her but then she smiled brightly . "I believe in him . "
It was burdensome .
"Dokja-ssi, did you leave enough food for yourself?"
"Nope, I sold it . "
Jung Heewon's mouth fell open as if she was dumbfounded . At that time, someone poked my cheek . I turned my head and found a biscuit .
"Huh? You want me to eat it?"
Nod nod . The head moved cutely . I smiled, took the biscuit and put it in Lee Gilyoung's mouth .
"I'm okay . You eat it . Ah, I should tell you something… everyone, do you still have the food you ate yesterday?"
"Yes, I have it . "
"I have a bit left . "
"Why? Do you want to buy it back? I will sell it . " Jung Heewon waved the biscuit in a playful manner .
"No, you should eat it now . "
"Huh?"
"Eat it all by today . You should do it now . " I repeatedly stressed . "Or you will regret it . "
Jung Heewon cried out, "Why…no, wait a minute . Sangah-ssi, what are you doing now? Why are you listening to him?"
"There is a reason why Dokja-ssi would say this . " Yoo Sangah smiled sweetly and opened a bag of biscuits . Lee Hyunsung was confused but ate the food . Meanwhile, Lee Gilyoung had eaten it the moment I spoke . He was a good listener .
"Ah well…I will leave one . "
"I won't stop you . "
I shrugged at Jung Heewon's words . It was up to her to regret it . At lunch time, there was a major announcement from the mainstream group . Cheon Inho stood on a platform surrounded by people and said, "We will limit the food ration from today . The allocation is three biscuits per person . And―"
People became irritated before the speech was over .
"What? Three biscuits? How can we live on that?"
"That's right! Don't the scouts get more food? Do you think we don't know?"
Despite being cursed at, Cheon Inho just laughed calmly . "Your words are correct . Yes, the scouts receive more rations . If you want more food, please apply to be a scout . "
"Very few people have come back after applying to be a scout! The Cheoldoo Group members are the ones who always come back!"
"Do you want us to die now?"
Cheon Inho was nonchalant despite the violent reactions of the citizens . "Those people were just unlucky . You know that it is terribly dangerous outside . Why don't you obtain food yourself if you are dissatisfied?"
"T-That…"
The people closed their mouths dumbly . If they went out now, they would die . Everyone knew this . Cheon Inho wasn't finished . "Ah, there is a way to get food without being a scout . "
"What is it?"
"A deal . We will be happy to exchange food for anything we determine to be of value . Every person can give something different . Isn't that right?"
Cheon Inho's cold gaze caused the people to tremble . It was mostly the people who came to me yesterday and bought food .
[The character 'Cheon Inho' has activated the 'Incite Lv . 2' skill . ]
"Originally, I wasn't going to do this, but yesterday, Kim Dokja-ssi told me something nice . That's right, everyone . Is there anything free in the world? If you want food, you have to prove your worth . This is the way it is . Haha, thank you for telling me something good, Kim Dokja-ssi . "
…Look at this? At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on me . Their eyes were mostly filled with resentment .
"Because of that bastard…"
People wanted to be stupid and Cheon Inho had the 'Incite' skill . It was a skill that most good group leaders would have . But this way, the hostility would turn towards me again…
I looked at the back of Cheon Inho . It was a cute level, at least compared to the people at Chungmuro and Seoul Station . The people gathered in front of the podium were already trying to bargain .
"I-I will buy it with coins . How much do you want?"
"200 coins . "
"Huh? But I don't have that many coins . "
"Then go away . "
200 coins for one piece of food, even the dokkaebi was likely to pass out . One of the Cheoldoo Group member selling food saw my look and trembled . He had a bandage around his thigh and seemed to be one of the guys I beat up yesterday .
"Did I ever say thank you for yesterday?" A voice was heard . I suddenly turned my head and saw Jung Heewon standing nearby .
"I think I heard it . "
"Still, I want to thank you again . " I wanted to say something but Jung Heewon's eyes were fixed on the injured Cheoldoo Group member . "The one with the injured leg, he was the one who tried to rape me yesterday . "
"…I see . "
"Don't touch him because I will kill him myself . Understood?"
Her killing intent was impressive . Was she chosen by a sponsor or was it a late blooming attribute?
[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated . ]
I was a little worried about using this skill . This woman would've died if I hadn't saved her . Would she be registered as a character?
