Survival Records of 3650 Days in the Otherworld

Chapter 31: Hunting novice

Joonbum shook away his thoughts and drove to Jinchul's store. Joonbum scowled as he breathed in the foul air of his world that disgusted him.

-Today's fine dust level is...-

'Crap.'

Joonbum grimaced at the polluted air and drove towards Jinchul's store. When he arrived and started parking, Jinchul came out of the store to greet him.

"Hey! Long time no see. I heard you're doing great now!"

Jinchul shouted excitedly as Joonbum beamed, embarrassed at the compliment.

"Don't flatter me too much. How are you these days?"

"Not too well. Sales went up a bit but its back to normal, leaving me with all the stocks. You can never be too greedy."

"Is it that serious?" Joonbum asked with a worried expression. Jinchul shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Hey! Don't worry, it's just a joke. It's not that bad. Don't take it seriously."

Joonbum was handed over a cup of coffee, which he drank while looking around the shop.

'It did increase.'

The store had a wider variety of goods with a lot of used items also. It looked more like a shop than it did before.

"I'll feature your store on one of the screens."

"What?"

"You know, the cloth that you cover the surface with when you clean the rifle. I'll have your store's name printed on it and place it on the bottom when I do it."

Jinchul's seemed to be at a loss for words.

"But-"

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I have a lot of screens. Also, you let me start out with those rifles. I really appreciate it."

"But that was more like well-decorated junk..."

Jinchul seemed to be sorry at the thought. Joonbum grinned.

"I know, but it's still usable. You adjusted it a bit too, remember? It's more useful now and worth it."

Jinchul looked awkward even after Joonbum reassured him.

'He really is a nice guy.'

Joonbum did not realize this before. He was too full of himself to earn more money. But now, after being freed from that chain, he was now able to look at other people around him.

"Oh, Jinchul."

"Yeah?"

"I am thinking about starting this business. What do you think?"

"A business?"

Jinchul looked puzzled as he received a packet of documents from Joonbum. He was already very successful with his videos. He was best of the best. There was no point in starting a new business.

"Can you take a look at it?"

"Hey, hey. I understand you got some money, but you need to be more careful now. Ever heard of those horror stories where people started bigger businesses and failed, losing everything?"

Jinchul told him this while shaking his head. Joonbum felt a warm feeling in his heart as he knew Jinchul was sincerely worried.

'Is this what it's like to have a real brother?'

Jinchul was like an older brother stopping a younger brother from going down a dangerous path.

"I still need more time. I don't have enough money yet either. Can you look at it?"
