I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 76
Episode 077
Every time he saw me, he would say something like this, but when my mom caught me doing this, I got scolded several times.
Don’t bother the guests.
Every time she did that, she pretended to be petting the sheep and looked the other way, which was so cute that I didn’t dislike this girl that much.
However, I hope you don’t just bring the sheep in front of my ger (Mongolian tent) or keep waiting for me at the door.
Because I’m really worried.
“Senbeno. are you okay.”
When I answered in Korean along with the Mongolian greetings I had learned while living there, my cheeks turned red and I was happy.
Then he suggested various things with his hands and feet, asking if I wanted to touch a sheep or ride a horse.
I shook my head, feeling like I wanted to sigh.
I came out because it was frustrating to stay inside, but if I had known it would be like this, I would have stayed inside.
Normally, I would have accepted the grateful favor and had fun together, but I don’t feel like it right now.
There’s a lot to do and a lot to worry about.
This is a small village near the Gobi Desert.
The Gobi Desert is a desert between Mongolia and China.
Actually, I thought I might have come from Egypt or Arabia, but it was unexpected.
I thought I was at some kind of camping site until I walked along the lights and found a few gers.
However, Seo Ji-han informed me that this was Mongolia and that this was their traditional house, a ger.
Mongolia.
To be honest, I had only heard about it briefly when learning world geography, so it wasn’t all that unfamiliar to me.
I thought I should just go to another city because of the unfamiliar appearance of the accommodation, but a resident who came out early in the morning to take care of his livestock happened to find me.
The owner of the ger quickly scooped up some meat broth for me, as I was wearing very old and tired clothes after having just come out of the dungeon and walked through the desert.
I suddenly took it, took a few sips, and before I knew it, I was staying in the ger they provided.
It turned out that they were in the lodging business for people traveling to the Gobi Desert.
Because it was the off-season, there were no customers, so the hand holding me was very generous.
When they saw me wandering around the desert without much luggage, they guessed that I was either a shipwrecked shipwreck or a hunter.
However, the attitude was that it didn’t matter as long as I paid the right amount, so I felt comfortable.
It wasn’t difficult to pay.
As long as you leave the dungeon, you can use the Hunter Market.
It was easy to get some Mongolian currency there and pay for accommodation.
Actually, at first I was planning to leave quickly because everything was unfamiliar to me, but I guess I was more exhausted than I thought and fell asleep when I laid down.
Well, it’s strange that I wasn’t tired because I didn’t sleep well and kept fighting.
– How long are you going to stay here?
Herds of sheep grazing in the high blue sky.
It is a landscape of peace itself, but Seo Ji-han seems to dislike it.
He looked like he was so bored that he couldn’t stand it.
Well, I’m a bit bored.
I have no complaints.
The owner is kind and takes good care of me.
Besides, no one recognizes me, so I don’t have to worry.
One problem is that the owner’s daughter here is very interested in me.
I am so friendly that I have already learned Mongolian greetings without even staying here for a day.
I appreciate the kindness, but I want to avoid it now.
In order to eat Vargis’ horn, I needed a place where I could be more alone.
And since this is a place where Koreans often come, I couldn’t feel completely at ease.
I heard that the number of Korean travelers has increased significantly as the Gobi Desert tour has gained attention as a travel destination.
As proof, the owner’s daughter spoke Korean quite fluently.
Moreover, he showed me a picture of a Korean celebrity I didn’t know well and claimed to be a huge fan.
He even said he watched all the dramas I couldn’t watch.
When I asked how he could watch the drama in a place where there was no TV or internet, he proudly said that he rode a horse to a large village to watch it.
To be honest, I feel really burdened because that incredible passion has directly translated into interest in me.
I smiled at the owner’s daughter and returned to the ger.
And closed the door.
“I’m leaving today.”
Seo Ji-han was pleased and liked it.
I had no intention of staying in one place for a long time anyway.
-Where are you going?
“hmm.”
I took out the travel brochure I bought at the market.
Actually, I wanted to buy a cell phone, but there wasn’t one listed for sale.
I could have sold the item and asked for the phone in return for the purchase, but I deliberately didn’t do that.
The nickname is revealed when selling, even if it is a purchase.
I can’t trust the security of the cell phone I got with the nickname Luther.
There is a high probability that there is a built-in program to track my location or identity.
Seller of S-class nuclear weapons.
The A-class attack power amplification scroll that Yu Eundam gave was so good, but how good would an item made with an S-class core be?
Considering that, we can expect that there will be more than one person looking for Luther.
If I buy a communication device, I have to buy it from someone who doesn’t know I am Luther.
Umm, first of all, I can’t go to Korea, so what about Japan?
Not bad.
I think there was something similar to a PC room, and as long as you had money, you could use the internet.
– How about here?
What Seo Ji-han pointed to was the American chapter.
From the first page of the page, you can see a magnificent picture of a valley.
Grand Canyon?
It’s definitely a wasteland so it doesn’t look like there are any people, but is there internet here?
Mongolia isn’t bad if you just consider the lack of people.
– They say you can eat as much shrimp as you want.
“yes?”
– You like shrimp.
What Seo Ji-han pointed to was Las Vegas, not the Grand Canyon.
Casino, to be exact.
“Let’s go to the casino?”
– If you want to hide somewhere, America is the best. The land is large and there is no need for identification. It’s a neighborhood where everyone lives apart.
“No matter what, the casino…”
– I just wanted to stop by for a moment. You need communication equipment.
“What does communication equipment have to do with casinos?”
– There is a businessman I know in the back alley here. It’s actually a pawn shop, but sometimes high-ranking U.S. government officials lose money at gambling houses and end up pawning various things in return. Among them, sometimes cannon phones come out that can be used anywhere in the world. Let’s stop by and buy something.
“Ah, I guess I asked to go because of that businessman.”
It’s a pawn shop.
How does Seo Ji-han know about this place?
Hmm, have you ever lost money in Las Vegas and left your belongings here?
Maybe so.
Because he’s unlucky.
I’m a bit curious about how much you’ve wasted, but I shouldn’t ask because you might get hurt.
Anyway, while receiving my attention, Seo Ji-han continued to talk about the advantages of Las Vegas as if he were recommending a travel package.
– I also eat some lobster and shrimp. When I saw you in Guam before, I heard you ate well. Don’t you like it?
“I like it, but…”
– Then it’s decided. let’s go.
Is it okay to go to the casino at this point?
I’m not going there to have fun, but it’s a subtle feeling.
But what Seo Ji-han said was not wrong.
Moreover, a communication device that can be used anywhere in the world and that cannot be tracked is a truly attractive product.
“Then let’s go.”
– Don’t say goodbye. For no reason, your movements will only be traced later.
“I thought so.”
I put down some Mongolian money on the bed and opened the travel brochure.
And tore the moving scroll.
After the now familiar shaking of vision, a rush of wet air hit me.
It was pouring rain in Las Vegas.
It was a little after lunch in Mongolia, but here it is completely midnight.
I feel a bit numb after moving from day to night in such a short period of time.
After looking around at the colorful lights, I looked up at the flashing lights above my head.
WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS.
Rainwater is falling on the welcome sign seen in the photo.
For a moment, my mind couldn’t keep up with the unexpected change in environment, but Seo Ji-han came to my senses first.
– Umbrella Don’t you have an umbrella?
The only items in my inventory are stockpiled food and snacks for the purpose of the attack.
There was no way it would rain in the Chungwangryu dungeon, so there was no way he would have taken an umbrella.
In a hurry, I took out a waterproof cloth to cover the tent and used it.
“Is it over there?”
When I asked, wiping the rainwater running down my chin, Seo Ji-han nodded.
The rain was so strong that my body got soaked in that short period of time.
I wondered if there was any point in wearing a waterproof cloth, but I didn’t want to get caught in the rain, so I decided to keep using it.
– It’s in the back alley of the downtown area.
Fortunately, because it was raining, there were hardly any people on the streets. Maybe it’s because it’s been a night.
Still, wearing a cloth on your head without an umbrella still attracted attention.
I quickly hid in a back alley to avoid attention.
I don’t know exactly where this is, but it seems to be a universal phenomenon that the more colorful the streets are, the darker the back alleys become.
– It’s not that far. Come this way.
As I walked along under Seo Ji-han’s guidance, the path became increasingly dreary.
After passing a few PAWN signs and arriving at a corner alley that didn’t seem to sell anything, Seo Ji-han pointed to a store.
– Over there.
“The lights are off?”
– no. The windows look black because of the security film. It’s open.
I was very suspicious, but I couldn’t just turn around and walk to the store.
I can hear Seo Ji-han’s small words talking to himself in my ear.
It’s always open.
After hesitating for a moment, I grabbed the door handle and pushed it, and the door actually opened.
A small bell sounded above the door.
At that moment, lightning flashed behind me, brightening up the inside of the store.
In the light, an old man with white hair slowly raised his head.
Eye area with wrinkles.
The old man, whose one eye was blurry as if he was blind, looked at me with his remaining normal eye and gestured in front of me.
I think it means come in.
“What do you need? Money or stuff?”
Of course, it’s in English.
