We got up early in the morning the next day to survey the field. We hopped into an SUV and made our way towards the field that we won in the auction, Yijieng.

Yoo Yeonha didn’t say a word during the entire trip. No, it would’ve been a relief if she didn’t say anything at all.

“Hmph!”

She would immediately scoff and turn her head away from me whenever our eyes met. I tried to tell her that I was simply joking last night, but she didn’t budge an inch.

“Hmph!”

The local agent driving the SUV looked into the rearview mirror and asked, “… But are you really a mercenary?”

“Yes,” I replied.

“You use that gun?”

“Yes.”

“I see…” the agent muttered in half-disbelief and half-amazement.

The mainstream mindset was that modern guns didn’t work on monsters. They weren’t technically wrong since guns were basically ineffective against monsters ranked intermediate or above even with mana bullets.

“How do you plan to do the survey, team leader…?” I carefully asked Yoo Yeonha.

I was forced to mind my words because someone else was in the SUV with us.

Yoo Yeonha narrowed her eyes at me and shrugged, “What would a person like me know? I’ll leave it all to you.”

“…”

“Hmph!”

The SUV came to a halt while Yoo Yeonha did her best to sulk.

The driver turned to us and said, “This is the place.”

Clack…!

Yoo Yeonha opened the door and got off. I followed suit.

A fresh breeze greeted us from all four directions. In front of us was a vast plain without any obstacles...
