Chapter Nineteen

A rock golem-like monster was easily obliterated by Igris while Jin-ho watched in horror. "U-Unnie." He called to Jeongyeon that is standing in front of him who turned to look at him, sitting on the ground.

Ah, this is the first time that Jin-ho saw them. Jeongyeon realized. "It's my skill." She vaguely replied.

"You can summon these guys with a skill?!" Jin-ho exclaimed his shock at the revelation.

"It's a bit too complicated to explain, but..." Jeongyeon hummed as she saw her shadow soldiers either kill the monsters or mining the crystals. "It's convenient that the boys can hunt for me and do the other chores." She explained.

Jin-ho then feel bummed about it. "Unnie... can I at least collect the magic crystals?" he asked her.

"Why is that?" Jeongyeon responded.

"I feel like I have lost my place." Jin-ho mumbled.

Jeongyeon smiled in amusement as she ruffled his head. "Don't be so pessimistic about yourself." She told him. "Sure, you can do that. The guys don't talk a lot but they're really nice and friendly. I think you'll fit right in with them especially since you're partially dressed like them."

"Thank you." Jin-ho cried, feeling a bit better now as he started collecting the magic crystals that the shadow soldiers have handed to him one by one.

And by the next day, the nineteen raids that Jeongyeon promised to clear with Jin-ho. They decided to celebrate the success of their deal by eating at samgyeopsal restaurant when they got back to the city.

"I'm sorry, noona." Jin-ho spoke, "I wanted to take you to somewhere more luxurious for our last time working together." He says.

"Don't worry about it." Jeongyeon dismissed. "Rather, I'm the one who's worried that this doesn't suit the taste of a young master from a rich household." She said as she drinks a cup of soju. "What do you plan on doing from now? Now that the raids are over."

[A HARMFUL SUBSTANCE HAS BEEN DETECTED.]

[DETOX HAS BEEN COMPLETED.]

"I can get my guild master licensure exam as soon as I finish a simple paper exam from the association." Jin-ho answered. "Then, I'll go have a talk with my father with the license." he then cheered with Jeongyeon as they clank their glasses together.

It's nice to receive a 30 billion building, but... that's just a bonus. My real goal was to level up, anyways and since I have met my goal. There's no need for me to hang around any longer.

"How about you, noona?" Jin-ho asked while chewing on a few beef strips, "what will you do from now on?"

"I will be out of contact for a while." Jeongyeon answered. "There's somewhere that I have to go and I still have to talk about this to Jin-ah and Y/n oppa." She explained.
