How Did I Become a Great Prophet chapter 9
9 – Too Much Reward
Fortunately, Hattieri and Cheongjeongha’s fight didn’t escalate into an actual battle.
Still, I don’t know if either of them really didn’t intend to fight, or if my words had an effect… But the important thing is that both of them stopped fighting.
“…My home…”
…Of course, my house, which was nothing special just because of that fight, ended up being ruined…
“…Hmm.”
“Hmm…”
It seems that the S rank superhuman has a conscience, but I felt that momentum had weakened.
Of course, that doesn’t mean ‘why are you f*cking in my house! Ask for the house!’ If I shouted out my heart, my neck would be broken.
‘Ehh… Life is real…’
With a deep sigh, I returned the table that had flown to the window and picked up the scattered cards.
This is why I didn’t want to hang out with superhumans…
For an ordinary person like me, superhumans like this are too much… But the money coming in is great…
“Ah…Hey, let me help you.”
“Okay… Instead of sorting out the cards, could you sort out the broken house…?”
Hmm…Somehow, if someone else touches the card right now, it’s going to be ominous… And that’s because a customer…
“…Kuhm, I see.”
“I-I’ll help too!”
In a moment of very uncomfortable and awkward silence, an untimely housecleaning took place.
‘Oh… It’s clean…?’
As talented people with S rank superhumans exerted their powers to organize the house, the house suddenly became cleaner than before it was destroyed.
As expected, a high-ranking superman… He’s incredibly versatile, isn’t he?
Anyway, after cleaning the house and putting the table and cards back to their original state, I set the order first.
“First of all, we’ll take care of the customers who have come to visit us first, and then we’ll get the balance from Mr. Hattieri…You all know…?”
“Good. No objection.”
“No… I can’t help it…”
“Okay. Now let’s do some fortune telling.”
I shuffled the cards clumsily.
“Ah, by the way, would it be okay to do fortune-telling in front of other people?”
“It’s okay.”
“Hmm…Then what are you here for fortune-telling?”
“It’s a shame…I’ve been feeling the limits of my growth lately.”
“Growth…Limits…?”
At my question, the guest quietly nodded, and Ha Thierry, who was sitting on the sofa behind him and watching him, narrowed his eyes.
All superhumans grow…But at the same time there are limits.
The wall of grades is so solid, and even within the same grade before that, the gap is drastically different. Because each superhuman has different limits.
Even an S-class cannot escape its limits. There are only a few geniuses who can jump over their limits, as if playing with a huge wall called grade.
‘Hmm…Would you like to…Go beyond that limit?’
It was a really interesting story. To go beyond one’s own limits through that fortune teller teacher…
Even if it goes beyond the limit, it doesn’t mean that it goes beyond the S rank. Because the level limit is not so easy. It is possible to overcome one’s own limitations many times over. There are only a handful of cases where people who are not ‘genius’ have surpassed the limits of their grade.
But…If you take this opportunity to overcome your limits, you will surely become stronger than before.
‘Kuh-kuh…This is interesting?’
Hatieri, who could be said to be strong among the S ranks, who had already surpassed her limits twice on her own, was interested in this and laughed quietly.
Of course, Dam Han-ul, who did not know the circumstances of a superhuman, even more of a high-ranking superhuman, shuffled the cards with the mindset that it was just like that.
‘Hmm…’
Originally, I’d ask the customer to pick one, but…
‘I’m tired, it’s annoying…’
I just wanted both of them to leave quickly, so I just shuffled and drew the cards.
A total of three cards were drawn.
‘Exceed the limits…’
I put the three cards neatly on the table and flipped the one on the right first.
The card that appeared is a trap card called ‘Dimension Rift!’.
It means…
“A dungeon will appear in a week or so. It will appear at around 2:17 pm… The dungeon is grade A. Monsters dealing with ice and cold will appear…And the place to appear. ..Let’s see…What kind of pond is…”
It’s a bit difficult to explain, so I searched for a place on the internet and neatly told me the place where the dungeon would appear, and I opened the second card…
“Wait a minute sir! No, where on earth do you see all these cards for this card game?”
“Yes? You can see it just by looking at it?”
A guy who eats opponent’s cards every 7 turns for a week, a guy with a pretty rare hologram, Class A, a dimensional crack occurs, so a dungeon occurs, and the guy with his face sticking out of the crack in the picture has an ice attribute, so it’s related to that It’s planned… The rest can be seen just by looking at the card.
…Sweet, it’s really amazing to look back on what this fortune teller did. Why the hell am I seeing this?
“…No matter how you look at it, it’s just a normal card…”
Tieri Ha, who was staring at the card with her eyes wide open behind her back, also nodded unconsciously and agreed with her words.
“Hmm…That’s why you must be a good fortune teller teacher. Sorry for wasting your time. Then…Would you like to continue?”
“Oh, yes…”
Anyway, I turned over the second card.
The second card is also a trap card, ‘Heart of Snow Mountain’.
“Hmm, there are two things you need to get from the dungeon. One is the heart of the dungeon boss monster, and an ice crystal that exists inside the highest snowy mountain inside the dungeon. It’s the heart of the boss monster. It will come out if you cut through the chest… Ice crystals will appear if you destroy the tallest and highest mountain. It’s not too difficult for an S-rank superman, right?”
“That’s right…”
And the last third.
The trap card ‘Giant’s Dinner’.
“If you get those two, eat them at once in a safe place in the evening after exiting the dungeon. You must eat both at once in a safe place in the evening after exiting the dungeon. Do you understand?”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
It’s not like you’re going to die for breaking something… But you won’t be able to cross that limit.
“So…Are you done with divination now?”
“All right, sir.”
“Okay…Then I’ll pay you in advance.”
She fiddled with her air for a moment, then pulled out an envelope and handed it to me.
“The advance payment is 100 million. The rest… I’ll come back to you after I cross the wall.”
“…Yes? How much?”
100 Million?? 100 Million dots at once???
No, you said you got the same amount of money as the money you saved by looking at fortune-telling dozens of times in one go?? Even that’s an advance??
“…Wow, double the money I gave you back then…!”
Ah, that’s right. I also got an envelope and a ring from Hatieri as an advance payment, right?
I wore a ring because it was so delicate… I didn’t open the envelope that contained the money, but it turned out to be 50 million won…
“Whoa…The drill reward after crossing the wall won’t compare to anything like this. You can look forward to it.”
“No…This, this is enough…”
No, that’s really enough…Just don’t come back…I’m uncomfortable…!
“You’re modest…Then I’ll go first, sir.”
I smiled and disappeared as if my sincerity didn’t work.
…It’s not just empty words, it really shook and disappeared. How did you do it?
“Oh, that’s good. It’s finally my turn?”
Ah, that’s right. There is still one mountain left to climb, right?
“You seem to be wearing the ring I gave you then? I really like it! Come on! This is cash first! It cost 200 million won!”
Oh my God, I just received 100 million, but now I get 200 million…?
Reality seems to disappear… Could this be a dream?
And first? Is there anything left to give?
“Don’t think the amount is small? It’s just a side note! These are the real ones!”
Just when I was thinking about what could be greater than 200 million, Hattieri gave me a silver bracelet with an unusual wolf pattern and a mobile phone.
“This bracelet is proof that you are an executive of my organization, Bargfang, and this is a cell phone that allows you to communicate directly with me! How is it? Kill it?”
I felt like I was going crazy because I couldn’t kill it.
No…! I just want to live a normal life! I mean, you don’t need this!!
… I didn’t have the courage to confidently shout to the superman in front of me, so I had no choice but to sigh quietly and collect the balance.
“If you have this, you’ll be treated well wherever you go in the underworld…If you contact me, I’ll do two favors for you without paying…”
As Hatieri skipped over the proud explanation without noticing it and sighed deeply, Hattieri grabbed my hand and said as if she had just remembered.
“Oh right. Didn’t I explain this ring? This is a pretty good defensive artifact. It can defend against B-level attacks without difficulty and counterattack! However, it can’t react to attacks higher than that level. Be careful.”
Oh… A defensive artifact! It’s a luxury item too! This was good
Wouldn’t it be safer to have something like this in such a rough world?
As I touched the ring curiously, Hatieri stood up with a smile.
“Hey, sir! Then I’ll go soon too! Contact me often! I’ll come back when I have time, so wait for me?”
“…You don’t have to come…”
Please don’t come…
“Kyakyakya! What a shame! I’m coming!”
As expected, I let out a deep sigh when I left for Hattieri, where even the back of my ear didn’t listen.
“Haa… It’s really hard…”
I’m glad I made money… It’s really hard, it’s hard…
After putting away my cards and earnings, I lay on my sprawl in the living room.
I don’t want to get entangled again…But it was really sad that we would get entangled again.
“…Ugh, I need to get some sleep…”
I didn’t know anything else, but I was quite tired mentally and fell into a nap…
“Nya~ It smells like money…?”
…There was an eye looking at Dam Han-ul’s house.
