it cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t let this “scrawny kid” scare him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, kid, you asked for it!” he shouted, swinging a fist toward Su Jiyai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before his punch even got close, Su Jiyai moved—fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dodged to the side like it was nothing, making the shopkeeper look like a clumsy fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that all you got?” Su Jiyai asked, a smirk creeping onto her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how did he move so fast?” Su Jiyai wasn’t in the mood to waste any more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, grabbed the shopkeeper by the wrist, and twisted it just enough to make him wince in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me make one thing clear,” she said, her voice low but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t bully me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not some easy target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how about you back off before this gets ugly?” The shopkeeper’s face turned red with anger and embarrassment, but the pain in his wrist made him rethink his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t about to mess with someone who clearly knew how to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“O-Okay, okay!” he stammered, trying to pull his hand free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just let go!” Su Jiyai released his wrist, and the shopkeeper stumbled back, holding his arm and glaring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re gonna regret this,” he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll make sure you never buy anything in this market again.” Su Jiyai rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like I care.” She turned and walked away, leaving the shopkeeper fuming behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Jiyai was walking away, a rough-looking man with a rugged beard and a scar across his cheek stepped in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He towered over her, but there was a curious look in his eyes, not one of hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, kid,” he called out, eyeing her up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You a fighter?” Su Jiyai raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, are you here to fight me too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the shopkeeper send you or something?” The man burst into laughter, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nah, nah, nothing like that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ain’t got time for small-time squabbles like that guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m with a mercenary group, and we’re short one member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw how you moved back there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quick, precise…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I figured you’d be a good fit for our next job.” Su Jiyai stared at him, not sure if he was joking or serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what makes you think I’d be interested?” she asked, her voice steady but curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man shrugged, still smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You seem like someone who’s always up for a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re heading to Mount Darkstar.” He paused for a second as if waiting for her reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a dangerous place, but the rewards are worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s something big happening there, and we need all the help we can get.” As soon as Su Jiyai heard the name, the AI in her mind spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mount Darkstar is exactly where you need to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three herbs you’re searching for can be found there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could be your chance.] Su Jiyai’s eyes flickered with interest, though she kept her expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mount Darkstar, huh?” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of ‘big thing’ are you guys after?” The mercenary chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s something you’d have to find out on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But trust me, it’ll be worth your time.” He looked her up and down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, what do you say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You got the time for a little adventure?” Su Jiyai tilted her head slightly, thinking it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel the AI nudging her to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the perfect opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must go.” After a moment, she looked the man in the eye and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll go with you.” The mercenary blinked, clearly surprised by how quickly she agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re in?” “Just like that,” Su Jiyai replied with a small smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man let out another laugh, clapping her on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I like you, kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve got guts.” He extended his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Name’s Kars, by the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you are?” Su Jiyai paused for a second, then said confidently, “Ragnar.” Kars grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ragnar, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, welcome to the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We head out at dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be ready.” Kars led Su Jiyai through the bustling market and out into a quieter alley where his group was waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were four of them—two women and two men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all looked tough, with weapons strapped to their sides and confident expressions on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, everyone, this is Ragnar,” Kars said, motioning to Su Jiyai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’ll be joining us for the mission.” One of the men, a tall guy with a scar running down his neck, narrowed his eyes at Su Jiyai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This scrawny kid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You sure he can fight properly?” His voice was full of doubt, and he didn’t even bother hiding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai chuckled, totally unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re so worried, we can have a little duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll show you what I can do.” She smiled, but there was a hint of challenge in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man looked like he was about to step forward, his fists clenched, ready to take her up on the offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression said he wasn’t one to back down from a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before things could get heated, Kars quickly stepped between them, raising his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa, whoa, calm down, both of you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no need for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re all on the same team here.” Su Jiyai shrugged, her calm demeanor never changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever you say.” Kars turned to the rest of the group, taking control of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s get to business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve got a job, and it’s a big one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve been hired by a merchant to find the energy mine on Mount Darkstar.” One of the women, a tall redhead with sharp eyes, crossed her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Energy mine, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the catch?” Kars nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, it’s not gonna be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re supposed to make a route to the mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain’s filled with all sorts of dangerous creatures and…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>well, who knows what else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if we pull this off, we’ll get paid a fortune.” The other man, the one who still didn’t look too convinced about Su Jiyai, grunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, but this ‘Ragnar’ better pull his weight.” Su Jiyai just smirked, not bothering to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew she could handle whatever was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kars cleared his throat and continued, trying to keep the group focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, we leave tomorrow at dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The route to the energy mine is tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll be crossing dangerous terrain—monsters, unstable ground, maybe even some rogue mercenaries.” One of the women, a shorter girl with brown hair tied in a messy bun, raised her hand lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, how much are we getting paid for this again?” she asked, sounding more interested in the money than the danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kars grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than enough to make this worth your while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trust me, Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll all be swimming in gold when this is over.” Mei’s eyes sparkled for a second, but she shrugged like she didn’t care that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, sounds good.” Su Jiyai stayed silent, her expression neutral, but inside, she was thinking about the herbs she needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mission was perfect for her, money or no money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, enough of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need to rest up tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mount Darkstar isn’t the place to mess around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be ready tomorrow.” The group nodded, and Kars turned to Su Jiyai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll stay with us tonight, Ragnar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve got a room at the inn down the road.” Su Jiyai nodded, grateful for a place to stay, even if it was just for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the inn, the group settled in the room was small but enough for all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai found a spot in the corner, sitting down quietly while the others chatted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group talked among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai wasn’t too interested in the small talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her focus was on Mount Darkstar and the herbs she needed to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown-haired girl, Mei, noticed Su Jiyai sitting alone and came over, plopping down beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Ragnar, what’s your story?” Mei asked, her tone light, but there was curiosity in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai glanced at her, then shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not much to tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m just here for the job, like everyone else.” Mei laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mysterious, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But trust me, once we’re climbing that mountain, secrets don’t stay hidden for long.” Su Jiyai just gave a small smile, not really giving Mei anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei raised an eyebrow but didn’t push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got up and wandered back to the others, leaving Su Jiyai to her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the night wore on, the group eventually quieted down, getting ready for bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kars gave out instructions for the morning, reminding everyone to be up before dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai stretched out, resting her head against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes, her mind running through the possibilities of what could be waiting on that mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When morning came, the group gathered their gear, Kars leading them out of the inn just as the first light of dawn broke over the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1533,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.984Z",1,"novelbin.me","bff73e2989ba3610741323d9ac47b427b5d110b9b2177ea8e734154e6c76dc29","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-431","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-429",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
