I Became a Fortune Teller in a Game My Sister Made - Chapter 224



224 – 43. Farewell

“……Plague.”

There was nothing at all.

Liu burst into laughter at Namgoong Min’s firm words.

I laughed for a moment and felt lost.

And.

“What happened?”

“Isn’t the item you’re looking for a golden toad that I received from a family member a long time ago?”

“To be precise, I was trying to receive it.”

Suddenly.

Did a bad memory come to mind? Liu picked up a small rock and smashed it with his grip.

Just looking at it, it doesn’t look good, but I wasn’t told not to do it.

“Actually, I think Mr. Liu knows better.”

“……………….”

“The golden toad is probably…”

“…It must have been buried under that house and then dug up by some bastard. Of course, we don’t know where it is now.”

Near a park that is not frequented by people.

Liu sat on a random bench with his legs crossed and looked up at the sky.

The look in his eyes was somewhat empty.

“Hey, did I tell you about the old days?”

“You said you would do it someday.”

From Noble mtl dot com

“That’s right, I didn’t know that I was a ‘big man’ until I was 9 years old. I guess it was because I was such a gangster? My parents probably thought I was just a strong kid.”

It is not even a proper village, but a temporary coal mine village that is common in China.

Liu Yan was born and raised there.

“That’s when I realized that I was a little special. My dad always went out with a pickaxe, and I could see gold shimmering on it. If there were a lot of days, there were a lot of daily wages, and if there were few, the daily wages were low. I was an Amman brat. Even if it were, I realized the correlation quickly.”

From then on.

Liu advised his father. On that day when an unusually large amount of gold was visible, only dig hard in the area you dug that day.

The simple miner and father granted his beloved daughter’s request.

It was a huge hit.

“Dad found a vein of gold. I was pretty lucky. I didn’t even see it myself, I just saw a pickaxe.”

With the news that gold had suddenly been discovered in a small coal mine, the village was instantly filled with outsiders.

The miner was a man who could not read well, but he knew that this was an opportunity. He wanted the opportunity for him and his family to be well fed.

That’s why the miners did their best to select people and make agreements with people from certain companies.

“Guaranteed ownership of the gold vein, acquisition of 40% of the price of the gold mined afterward, relocation to the city, provision of housing, provision of vehicles, and health inspection.”

“……That.”

“Of course, this is not a condition to hand over to a miner. I guess they were planning to scam me from the beginning.”

In the meantime, the company thought.

Is it a coincidence that a miner discovered a vein of gold? What is the ‘daughter’s insight’ that the miner boasted about?

Despite proposing ridiculous conditions, what the company paid attention to was the last condition.

Health checkup.

“I knew there that I had a job, and among them, I knew that it was a special job called .”

“……………….”

“Do you know what I thought after I found out?”

“……What was it?”

“Then can you eat meat with rice? That was it. Innocent b*tch.”

From then on, the company’s interests were not miners and gold veins.

A very young girl who has a special job called .

The company immediately used the girl and threw her an appropriate carrot.

“How much did those bastards earn from me? And how much of that did they give to me and my family as a generous gift?”

“……….”

“But at the time, I thought it was real. Since I was so poor, I thought that amount of money was a lot of money.”

Is it because they have already noticed that the miners and their families are naive and ignorant?

The company just blatantly committed fraud, and the money that went back to the family was not even a speck of money.

And.

“My birthday……the night before my birthday.”

“…….”

“There was an accident. It was a pretty big accident.”

Suddenly, the entire village shook and the ground collapsed.

It was only later that I realized that the cause was the company’s excessive gold mining.

What was certain was that the company had not even helped the family move to another city until then.

As a result, the miner and her family were caught in the sinkhole.

“So, everyone died.”

“……Mr. Liu.”

“In the end, all that was left was the golden toad that my family had saved and saved. My younger brother secretly boasted that it was my birthday present. Do you know how excited I was that night?”

“……………….”

“It almost became that kind of story. A typical mining town tragedy. Just like that…My family’s life almost summed up in just one line.”

Was I lucky, or was I unlucky?

Liu miraculously survived the accident.

Afterwards, the company took Liu away.

“Can I tell you something funny? Up until then, I thought the corporate bastards had saved me. You kept lowering your head to say thank you?”

“…………Hmm.”

“But do you know what those bastards said?”

“What…Did you say?”

“Thank goodness, I’m lucky. Normally, idiots like that just clamor for money under the pretext of being family. I think we solved it in advance.”

“……….”

“They were such idiots. Did you think that even if they were just children, they would just say hey, I understand and move on?”

The company was arrogant. It was thought that the miners, the gold mines, and the “Big men” Could be completely controlled.

Because of that, I acted complacent towards Rio.

Companies never knew.

The true value of Liu Yan is not her special job, but herself.

“It took just one year.”

“…What do you mean?”

“The time it took to kill all those corporate bastards. The time it took to bring in a company that was just as greedy as that company, make them fight, and then win alone.”

One year is a simple time in words.

But how much chaos did Rio go through during that time?

A young girl of only 10 years old, innocent and naive, until she destroys two companies.

What was her year like for her?

“I studied everything I could. Luckily, maybe it was because of my job, but the finance field was really easy. The guys at the company knew that it would be much more efficient to make money if I knew a lot about finance, so they gave me all kinds of education.”

“……………….”

“Cuck, if you think about it now, it’s a real idiot. And I’m a f*ck who was deceived by those idiots.”

Liu, who acquired a considerable amount of assets by destroying two companies in one year, entered the financial world through that path.

Her family members who died because of her corporate greed, her guilt that her own ignorance brought about it, people who tried to take advantage of her Liu, people who coveted her Liu’s money.

Amid all that, Rio had to stand alone.

Only alone.

“At a certain point, distrust of people became basic and suspiciousness was just a basic thing. Then, at 14? Around that time, I was on the news as the youngest person to become a very wealthy person and I also met other bastards.”

“If it’s other people.”

“An arrogant, vicious b*tch, a violent princess, a dubious prince, a dull warrior, and a saint who always smiles.”

The gathering of special professions began from then and continues to this day.

Liu, who revealed his past so lightly, looked at Namgoong Min, not at Sky.

“So, what do you think?”

“……Yes?”

“You have been solving the concerns of the special job groups since the old days.

She is the one who spent the longest time with me here.

He pierced my heart with a look in his eyes that said it was no big deal.

“I was trying to help too, right? Each person gets one, is this a game?”

“…hahahaha, sure.”

“I felt like I was probably the last one. I just had that feeling.”

“……………….”

“Why was I last?”

…… Why was Rio the last?

Liu’s character event ended with this. Thanks to Liu himself, who casually told her about his past and purpose.

It was probably the event that ended in the fastest time, and I thought it could have been done a long time ago.

“Just.”

“Just?”

“I just wanted to end it by talking to Mr. Liu at the end.”

“……………….”

“That’s all.”

In the end, I was the one who put off solving Rio’s past and purpose until later. I’m the one who didn’t finish it even though I could have cleared it a long time ago.

Why did that happen?

It’s a problem I never really thought about, but looking back now.

“…The first person I spoke to was Mr. Liu. Do you remember?”

“Oh, you mean the entrance exam? f*ck, that’s my dark past.”

“Can I guess what’s in your pocket again?”

“Don’t be a damn thing, as*shole.”

Because my first encounter in this world was in Rio, I may have wanted to end in Rio as well.

So, you might have wanted to leave Rio last in such an important character event.

Why?

‘Rio’s character event……… Was it all the days I spent with her until now?’

It is not simply about resolving certain concerns or situations.

Meet her, approach her, get acquainted with her, talk to her, quarrel with her, yet walk with her.

Wasn’t that whole process a character event?

So, I tried to postpone Rio’s character event. Clearing it, in a way, means ending my relationship with Rio.

‘Me too.’

I feel like I have come a long way.

What a long way.

Rubber.

“…Hey, fortune teller. Follow me.”

“That’s…?”

“Ah, come first.”

The place I walked to, led by Liu’s hand, was a familiar place.

The Great Lake takes up 10% of Romance Academy.

Liu dragged him roughly to the very shore.

“Huh…………Hot!!”

Splash!

I vigorously threw something I was holding in my other hand.

Four golden toads sinking in the great lake in the distance, making a splash.

“Hey, do you remember that?”

“You sure it won’t come out? Wasn’t it in the artifact bag when I first met Mr. Liu?”

“That’s right. It was my regret, my guilt, and my regret. It was just a fake that imitated the keepsakes that my family left behind and could not be recovered.”

The golden toad has already sunk so deep into the Great Lake that it is not even visible.

But Liu looked at the Great Lake until the end, as if he could see it.

……… Was turned on.

“Later, I tried to find a real golden toad, but even though I mobilized all my people, it didn’t come out. In fact, it’s obvious. Some unknown thief or miner would have taken it away long ago. Of course, it wasn’t an artifact, it was just made of low-quality gold. “It was a cheap golden toad…and it was impossible to find it.”

“……………….”

“Besides, it was popular at the time to melt gold and make it again. Of course, that gold toad… Would have melted.”

“……………….”

“After that, I just ignored it and lived. Every time I thought about it, it broke my heart. Then, by chance, I heard a rumor, that all the precious metals in the world gather at the Romance Academy. Prospective “Because it’s a place where everyone gathers.”

“So…….”

“Now that I think about it, it was a stupid choice. What’s so bad about that low-level golden toad that it would come all the way to the Romance Academy? And even if you see it, how are you going to tell it apart? How are you going to find it?”

“……………….”

“At that time, my suspicions were at their peak, but I couldn’t give up. I wanted to get at least some certainty.”

The spray of the Great Lake was wet. The sleep was once again peaceful.

Nevertheless, Liu’s gaze did not fall deep into the great lake.

As if I could still clearly see the golden toad sinking there.

“…Then, do you regret that decision?”

“No? Are you crazy?”

“Yes?”

“I came here and met you.”

One step.

Liu turned his gaze away from the Great Lake and approached me.

“If it weren’t for you, would I have been able to give up the golden toad? Would I have been able to cut off the meaningless attachment?”

“……………….”

“Could I not have doubted the judgment I made? I guess I just haven’t found it yet and won’t stop until I disassemble and dig up this entire floating city. This damn disease of suspicion will never go away. .”

“Mr. Liu.”

“But you told me. You are more trustworthy than anyone else in the world. And.”

One step.

Liu came closer.

“…The person I love.”

One step.

She narrowed down even the final distance.

“So, brat.”

“……………….”

“Make sure to come back…Pay your debt, you damn bastard.”

“…Before I chase you beyond the real world.”

And.

With the Great Lake in the background, the shadows of the two men and women overlapped.
