Chapter 2:
Fool in the Dawn
In front of them was a rather old looking adventurer's center decorated with potted plants and some cool hanging weapons. The exterior looked quite like a tavern if it weren't for the "adventure and venture"
The two brothers looked at each other, clearly unsure of what to do next. *
Usefup: *waves and walks into the store*
-Come on, you two.
The two looked at each other and nodded, a bit scared like before, but when they entered the shop, they were quite surprised by everything around them.The architecture is very beautiful and impressive like what Jin saw in the virtual world, the reception desk is located in the middle, around or on the floor there are many people coming and going and probably looking like adventurers.
The two of them rolled their eyes for a while, gaping at the scene before them
*Usefup points to the reception desk in front of you*
-you sign your citizen registration over there because this is the central area built by the king and connected to the kingdom's system
The two quickly regained their senses and looked at each other, nodding in understanding*
*Jin raises hand with determination and a bit of uncertainty*
-Sensei! Then is it possible to register as an adventurer at the same time?
*Usefup turns back, nods and smirks at the two*
-You guys can do it as soon as you want and it also has a human resource assessment.
then turned around and walked past them to leave, not forgetting to wave goodbye *
-I have to go, you guys take care of yourselves.
Leaving the two of them still having to download the knowledge they just learned in the fall *
*Satori sniffing Jin's shoulder with a slightly more optimistic and sarcastic look*
-Is this what you wanted?
-A-fantasy-world!
Jin just sighed a little disappointed*
-:..not at all as expected kid~~
So the two of them followed the instructions and went to the reception desk. *
Receptionist:
-Welcome-
*but when she looked up at the two guests in front of her, her face slightly wrinkled*
-S-Sir... you should take a bath to avoid being smelly and dirty...
Jin heard and realized that he was already soaked. He looked down at himself, then up at the receptionist. His embarrassment increased, revealing his obvious blush.Then looked at his sister's stiff face, shyly only daring to whisper*
-... I don't have any clothes to change...
Seeing that, Satori could only sigh, looking around to avoid looking at her brother, whistling innocently, pretending not to know him.
Receptionist silent complaint *
-Just started working this morning and already feeling annoyed...
seeing that, she frowned a bit in annoyance and threw him a rough set of clothes*
-Please leave, you're blocking other people's way!
Jin He grabbed the clothes, then bowed his head and nodded weakly, his face only becoming twice as red with shyness*
-t-thank you...
Jin obediently took the things and followed the instructions given by the receptionist to the public bath.
Meanwhile, Satori sat absent-mindedly on a small table nearby, her arms resting on her hips, looking up at the ceiling with a bored expression on her face.
-The constellation Regulues...what other star was it?
The receptionist quietly finished serving the guests, then looked at Satori who was bored to the point of being high, and couldn't bear it
- You can go to our library
- It's right on the second floor of the company
the receptionist spoke towards the little girl*
Satori listened quietly looking towards the receptionist, the little girl felt extremely grateful to the person who saved her from this boredom nodding and thanking *
then excitedly jumped off the table and ran upstairs as instructed. *
a few minutes later
Jin quietly walked into the shop with his hair still wet and a red jacket with a high collar.
He quietly walked to where his sister was reading a book very attentively. As he walked over, he began to pose arrogantly towards her.
-hey, hey do you think I look good in this outfit, girl?
Satori didn't look, still glued to the book, just coldly said
-yes
Seeing that, Jin pouted, clearly not even looking at him. Wanting to attract his attention, he decided to snatch Satori's book with the cutest pout possible.
-hey, hey at least look at me! this is the first time my brother gets to dress up in fantasy world clothes
Satori didn't say anything, just looked up at him with a frown and growled, just that alone made Jin tremble in fear, he obediently returned the book and placed it in Satori's hand, gently smiling faintly.
-I mean let's quickly go register as citizens, ehehe ~~...
Then the two of them walked to the receptionist. *
Jin Still looking excited and naive returning*
-Alright! Now let's register our nationality and confirm our citizenship as citizens of the Mixua kingdom!!
Receptionist looks up and sighs in frustration*
-Dear customer, if you want to register. You must register each paper one by one with your full name.Place of residence? Blood type? Health status? Age? Insurance contract? Labor, education? Commitment to pay taxes to the state-
Jin feeling disillusioned spoke in disbelief wide-eyed*
-Wait!! That's so long, I thought I could just sign one paper?!
Satori standing behind also expressed frustration with the older brother's behavior from the beginning until now and couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up in annoyance*
-bruh. Do you really think one sheet is enough?! People still have to classify them so they can use them on you later, bro! If they all come together, how can we determine them? Please look at the law!!
Jin turned back and frowned, looking annoyed. *
-Stop pretending to know, what do you know?
Satori calmly took out a book*
-while waiting for you, I went to the library here and found a book describing the continents and kingdoms of this world and just followed along.
He clenched his fists, looking annoyed and extremely embarrassed when he realized he was being a country bumpkin.
-Knowing a little bit of knowledge and acting classy!!
Receptionist coughing to interrupt*
-ahem. Dear customer.
Jin gritted his teeth in anger and turned back, nodding his head, both worried and determined while Satori leaned on her hands and looked pleased. *
Two hours later...or more. The two of them sat down wearily at the table in the corner of the wall, sighing tiredly, lying down on the table looking at each other.*
Jin:
-Doing all this paperwork takes so much time, sometimes I even start to feel discouraged about doing this just to be an adventurer.
Satori:
-After all, your original purpose was to go on an adventure. Not to verify your identity with a bunch of legal papers.
a moment later
-where are jin and satori who came to ask for a job?!
A charming young lady from the room on the left opened the door and shouted, holding a bronze box in her hand and looking down*
Jin raised his hand and spoke
-we're here!!
The girl finished listening and turned her eyes towards the two people, coldly reaching into the office.
-Then please invite the two of you to the job interview.
Satori and Jin obediently listened as they walked. Jin couldn't help but wonder curiously about how they interrogated him. He wasn't sure, but mostly excited.
Jin think positively while walking
-Ehehe, i'm about to get this job! i wonder how they'll advise me?
-hmm... they'll probably test my strength skills and then i'll show off an unimaginable power i can't wait!!
in fact when the two entered the room the surroundings looked like a normal manager's office with a manager level sign placed right on the desk next to a small bookcase and some medical equipment
Jin just stunned by disillusionment
Satori She was beaming with joy because it wasn't something too difficult, just talking, she thought...
The manager just quietly walked in and sat at the desk opposite the two of them.
-ehem, So shall we get started?
-anyway this is just a low class labor job so i won't test intelligence quotient it's too much of a headache.
Jin just collapsed more stuttering trembling
-w-wait, you mean going is just a manual labor job without a degree and not respected in society?...
The manager nodded calmly
- So do you think this life-threatening profession is respected by people? People only choose this profession when they are desperate. Nowadays, people pay more attention to knowledge.
Jin bowed his head and smiled sadly
-Really?...
Satori beside him kept glancing at his brother with a frown.
The manager looked at the two and sighed.
-Okay, let's get down to business. I'll give you a medical check-up. If it's good, I'll approve, okay?
during dental check-up*
-Open your mouth boy.
Jin obediently listened and slowly opened his mouth
- you stink, have you brushed your teeth?
when i got to Satori.
-wow, this girl is really clean.
physical exam*
The cold manager groped everyone's arms and waists.
-hmmm...The boy is a bit weak compared to the minimum requirement, but the girl is quite good. This is the first time I've seen a child as strong as him.
eye test*
The manager pointed at the board for Shin to obediently read the characters while covering one eye. similar to Satori
manager clapped lightly
-I finally found something to compliment him on. His eyes are good, but they're a bit dark.
-as for the girl... nothing special...
So the interview went smoothly and they were finally hired*
Jin had just stepped out and couldn't bear the shock...he...really collapsed and knelt down on the ground right in front of the door, his eyes had become lifeless as he looked down at his hands*
Satori seeing that, slowly walked over and knelt down to comfort and pat his shoulder*
-come on, come on, it's not bad, bro...
*she rolled her eyes trying to think of the right words*
-how perceptive is it bro?...
Jin just looked up at the girl with the most pitiful expression, tears falling like a child*
-s-so obvious...I can clearly read the instructions for someone's cold medicine from more than 10 meters away.
Satori after hearing that, she smiled faintly and wanted to comfort him*
- It doesn't sound bad. You think too much, I have astigmatism and I'm still jealous...
* then she hugged Jin to comfort him*
-Don't be sad, okay?~
Jin closed his eyes and enjoyed the hug for a while then let go*
-Wait!! I'm supposed to be the male lead?! Why did I become the second male lead!
Then Jin stood up with confidence as if nothing had happened, he pointed to the sky, put his hands on his waist with determination.
-I will prove my strength! Of mind not of body!!
Satori saw that and shook her head, smiling to reassure me*
-I'm too worried about him... optimism is like a virus that spreads.
Then the two of them happily stood up and continued walking together as if nothing had happened. Going to the bulletin board, besides having many different missions that made the two of them very excited, there was also a rather important piece of paper attached to the corner of the board *
[Note:
SS to B- missions require:
+Group requirement. And must have at least 3 people.
+ From S missions onwards, there must be an adventurer above intermediate to holy level.
+If the quota is not met, only tasks C and below can be done.
Thanks for your interest and reading!!]
Jin looked and suddenly realized something, he was shocked, his heart skipped a beat, he looked at the quest boards and noticed that besides B+, there were no other quests below!*
The two brothers looked at each other, the older brother looked disappointed because he realized that the group only had two brothers and it required at least 3 people to go!! Seeing that, Satori tried to reach up and pat his brother's head to comfort him, but he wasn't tall enough so he could only feel uncomfortable in his chest and had to put his hand on his shoulder*
Usefup suddenly appeared and walked past them*
-Oh, I forgot to tell you two. After registering your citizenship, you two will be forced to pay taxes to the king every month. Depending on the percentage of your income.
Jin was even more shocked after hearing that. Not only did he spend a lot of time registering, but now he couldn't be an adventurer in his favorite profession, and now he had to try to earn money to pay taxes at the end of the month?! He was so confused, imagining that he would be able to fly everywhere, but now he had to become a slave to money!!*
Jin Can't stand it, he can only scream helplessly*
- why?!!!
Usefup pretending to be calm, he turned back and continued speaking*
- because the king can't give birth to money.
Then Usefup walked away again*
Satori stood still, watching her brother sigh and glance around, trying to choose a suitable mission. She suddenly opened her eyes eagerly and patted her brother's shoulder, pointing at the assignment paper attached to the bottom of the board.
Jin sobbed and looked up, suddenly changing his expression like his brother*
- what?!!
