“Teacher,” Ru Amuh started, “Please help me”
His words took Chi-Woo by surprise even further Chi-Woo stared blankly into Ru A eyes An aard silence settled between them Ru Aanize his thoughts
Feeling uneasy about the long silence, Ru Amuh pleaded once more “If you haven’t received any offers yet—or even if you did, I hope that you will join me,” His expression looked desperate as he said
Although startled, Chi-Woo asked, “Could you explain what’s going on h he had been holding and began He talked about how all the hurated to Shalyh city under Chi-Hyun’s orders Although the natives went through the same process as before, it was different for the heroes They received different treat to their ranks For heroes who hadn’t received a rank yet like Zelit, they had to stay in an inn rooht people Heroes at the iron rank like Chi-Woo shared an inn room with three or two others, and those in the bronze rank had a rooranted permission to take a house for the the heroes, was given access to an entire zone
“How large is one zone?”
“I received a whole street block, and there are a total of nine buildings”
Chi-Woo’s aped at Ru Amuh’s response In Earth terms, Ru Amuh had become rich in real estate But that didn’t only come with positives Great power called for equal responsibilities Although Ru As in his zone, he wasn’t granted all rights to the land and needed to pay to maintain access and ownershi+p For Chi-Woo, he needed to pay 30 royals every day after the one-race period; that would be 900 royals per month Chi-Woo asked Ru Amuh how much he needed to pay
“I was told that I have to pay 27,000 royals every month”
Chi-Woo’s jaw dropped to the floor Ru Amuh’s fees were 30 tiave hie Will you be able to handle it?”
“It’s impossible by myself, but I know it’s possible with you, Teacher”
It was then Chi-Woo realized what Ru A back fro” Ru Amuh fixed his posture “I learned that no s I can’t do byRu Amuh was, he was still one of the numerous heroes in the world and had many limits He was but one man, and his class came with restrictions Thus, Ru Amuh came to the conclusion that he needed more people—people of diverse skills and classes that could do things he couldn’t Only then would he be able to assist his teacherto build our own zone in this place If possible, I will also like the two others in the roo at Evelyn and Hawa “I will transfer all the rights I received over the zone, so please—”
“That’s ridiculous,” Chi-Woo said firone through toosuch an offer would lead to

But Chi-Woo didn’t ponder for long and gave his response “I have absolutely no desire to receive your rights over the zone It’s quite late Why don’t you go to sleep now?”
“Teacher…”
“Let’s meet tomorrow afternoon at the square and discuss”
Ru Ahtened as Chi-Woo continued, “We’ll talk about the details after I ive you the best house out of the nine I received,” Ru A suitable”
“But—”
“As I said before, I don’t want authority over your zone, but I want to fulfill my duty as a tenant”
“Thank you Thank you so erly, very pleased with Chi-Woo’s response Chi-Woo also smiled He could’ve refused, but he didn’t want to miss an opportunity to better his environnment 27,000 royals a month wasn’t a small amount by any means, but Chi-Woo felt like there was a way if they worked all together as Ru Amuh said And above all, Ru A Ru Amuh had ever asked of him with so much passion, and Chi-Woo wanted to help him Hopefully, they would be able to help each other out
The next , Chi-Woo met up with Ru Amuh at the square as promised Then they made steps for Chi-Woo to move into his new place The zone that Ru Aood area It wasn’t far from the center of the city, and was thus close to the central square where they could look for work
The zone consisted of a central building and the eight buildings surrounding it Chi-Woo chose one on the outskirts that had single-fae yards on the upper floor And after all this was decided, the five of theether and discussed
“First of all, I want to increase the number of residents here,” Ru A “27,000 royals is the aather in two months and everyfees; they needed to make more money for equipathered while wandering the city yesterday
There were many ways to earn money, but the most co a request varied widely, where some led to a couple hundred royals, and others thousands of royals A the requests he saw on the bulletin board on the square, the highest paying one offered 3,500 royals for getting an ingredient
“Isn’t 3,500 royals pretty good?”
“Not necessarily” Ru Amuh shook his head at Ru Hiana’s question “After further investigation, I found out that it would take one 20 days to go and cooing to be fierce too”
“Ah, that’s no good then,” Ru Hiana sighed Doing the math, they would need to make at least 9000 royals in 20 days
“Then what do we do… Do we have to go on an expedition or so on an expedition was too high They could strike gold if they found a dungeon, but the odds would be akin to catching a star in the sky, and theyvaluable time
Ru Amuh turned to Chi-Woo “So I’d like to reduce the total a first”
“How?”
“I’s I own”
“Ah,” Chi-Woo exclai people first Ru A and have his tenants bear some of the land tax Then he would be able tothe a one of the buildings would reduce the amount he had to pay from 27,000 to 24,000

“Yes, that’s est worry too, sir” Ru Amuh nodded “If I could, I would like tosome funds, but two et outside of the city to get such a large a outside would take a few days at the least
“I feel like I will be able to stabilize the area with one race period, but…”
“Hey! Don’t worry about it too much! If worse comes to worst, I can always sell my house!” Ru Hiana said
