Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Chapter 376

Boom, boom, boom!

“excuse me! Because it’s interfering with work?! Sit next to me and look at the handover in advance! Don’t bother me!”

Ram Hwayeon’s voice awakened Lee Ha.

Anyway, nothing will be solved if you worry about it.

The mistake I made with Shin Nara now will have no choice but to repay me by being nicer to her someday!

“…okay. Day. Let’s just get to work.”

We must forget it for now. Paying attention to one thing and missing something else is the worst thing about being a sniper!

“huh?”

“I will work. All tips and know-how related to operating City Gaza! And even your opinions that can be improved in the future! Tell me everything, Mr. Ram Hwayeon! All! Make me study until my brain explodes!”

Lee Ha bravely sat down next to her in a chair.

“What should I read first?”

‘Uh, that- that, that. If you learn the commands of the butler NPC over there-”

“Good. I will memorize everything.”

Iha aggressively grabbed hold of the pile of documents and began reading through them. Without even knowing that his forearm was touching Ram Hwayeon’s forearm.

Ram Hwayeon’s attitude of glancing at Lee Ha and noticing him, but not bothering to lightly brush his arms, was sending a strong signal.

Of course, it was just a signal that could not enter the frequencies below.

At this time, when the promise with Shin Nara was broken and the promise with Ram Hwayeon was confirmed, what Lee Ha was most passionate about was studying Middle Earth.

If it is 4 days in real time, it is a whopping 20 days in Middle Earth time.

The following reads all of Ram Hwayeon’s know-how regarding City Gaza’s operations and the ‘hatching-related report’ received through the Holy Grill located within City Gaza.

* * *

“Lord Seong, this is this week’s revenue and expenditure report you mentioned.”

“ah! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Peytor. This week’s spending items… That’s right, when did you say the castle wall repairs would be finished? I think it was recently.”

Below, he skilfully flipped through the report and checked the numbers. It has already been more than fifteen days since Ram Hwayeon left.

This is the second week’s final settlement that Lee Ha handles alone. This is already my second practical experience.

“I just checked and am on my way back, but the head of the Bottleneck Engineers said it could take a day or two more-” “

Okay. Then, give me a job at a blacksmith shop in an area where minerals can flow smoothly. A place to be used as the office and workshop of the head of the Bottleneck Engineers. You can ask the head of the Bottleneck Engineering Corps what equipment you need and purchase it as is.”

“If you want to pay-”

“You don’t have to wait for my approval. Mr. Peytor, please buy it all with your deposit. Well, starting with the bellows and all, all the necessary equipment and tools!”

“I understand, Lord Seong. The head of the Bottleneck Engineers will also be grateful for Seongju’s full support.”

“Giggles, how can that be? That’s because if I don’t do it this time, I’ll be embarrassed and go back to Hell and Ville. Anyway, please take care of me.”

“Would it be possible? Then I will leave.”

It’s been over 15 days since the actual battle. Of course, this means that there is ample time to become familiar with the management NPC, the NPC whom Ram Hwayeon called ‘the butler’.

Peytor bowed politely towards Iha and walked backwards out of the office.

‘Whoa…. This week I earned 15,337 gold and spent 15,418 gold. Tsk. There will be no settlement this week.’

The negative operating situation continued.

This is bound to happen as spending continues while the city’s functions have not been fully restored.

Of course, there was no shortage of personal property.

The five legendary items taken from Kuzgunak’s Lair have not even been sold yet.

There is also a gift from Fayu, quite a lot of gold.

There is also a weekly payment that has been consistently received from Castle Dale. There are also some ‘japtems’ sold for simple hunting.

The current total value of Middle Earth assets is approximately 12,000 gold.

In the meantime, the value of Middle Earth’s gold has fallen slightly due to changes in international prices, but the amount in cash is around 1.3 billion won.

‘You can put it in if you have the time… but first of all, it’s not that urgent. ‘I have to pay for my surgery and prepare my mom’s store soon, so I can’t spend this money carelessly.’

In terms of flow, the situation is not urgent enough to require investment of personal assets.

The current city recovery status is about 93%.

Even at this level, it almost caught up with the amount spent.

When it reaches 100%, it will operate at a surplus and the city’s coffers, which are currently almost empty, will be able to be refilled.

‘It wouldn’t have been possible if I was alone.’

What was the amount of money Ram Hwayeon had to cover last week and the week before last?

I don’t know how many times I was surprised by the first revenue and expenditure report I discovered when reviewing past documents after Iha took charge of running City Gaza alone.

‘What do you mean, income of 1,305 gold and spending of 28,300 gold… I’m just broke. At that level, I should sell the city and run away. No, it won’t sell. Should I just give up my rights to Seongju? ‘It’s really… amazing that they were able to operate even in that situation.’

Ram Hwayeon opened the safe and devoted all the funds that City Gaza had collected so far to restoration.

The heroic items brought by Blaugrun were of great help, but it goes without saying that the most effective use of them was the generous use of them, with 47 gold currently remaining in City Gaza’s coffers.

That quick judgment and drive. It was a decision that fully reflected her philosophy of making money flow, not holding it.

“Next week is ‘Tondol’ and will there be any profit from the week after? Oh, I need to take care of the knights too. It is said that the more you spend on training or purchasing equipment, the higher the level of the Templar NPCs will be… If you want them to level up further, it will take another 4 to 5 weeks before you can make a profit.”

The Gaza Knights, carefully selected by Byeolcho, had actually grown in size from 150 to 200 members.

Normally, this would be enough, but I did not let down my guard.

Even though all the Demon King’s henchmen have disappeared, there is no telling what danger will come.

‘We’ll have to go to the New World and catch Bluebeard… but we don’t know yet. He might come back before then. Are we crossing over or are they crossing over? Unless there is a guarantee that you will be ahead in the race against time, you must be fully prepared. Considering the situation, we need to increase the number of knights and raise their level to the highest level right away.’

Lee Ha opened the friend window and looked at Fernand’s location.

His current location is the Shazrasian Federation. He stayed in Puviel and Minis for more than a week and then moved again.

“Uggggggg! it’s tough. It would be more convenient if users could just spend money to level up like knight NPCs. Isn’t that right, Mr. Blaugrun?”

Lee Ha opened his character window, calling Blaugrun.

Name: Leeha / Race: Human

Occupation: Musketeer / Level: 175 (3.1%)

Title: Fearless / Achievements: 108

HP: 5,950 (4,165) / MP: 1,345

Stats: Strength 334 (+249)

Agility 2,684 (+ 918)

Intelligence 148 (+97)

Stamina 215 (+122)

Spirit 52 (+42)

Remaining stat points: 50

This time, since there were no special achievements or stats, Iha invested everything in agility without much hesitation.

Agility is now 2,734.

[Kyu, Kyuhu~ Kyuhu~]

Blaugrun, who was lying face down on one side of the desk in the office, looked at Iha and shook his head.

“Giggle, you’re saying you can’t have such lazy thoughts?”

[Kyu!]

And then nod, nod. I haven’t just gotten used to running the city over the past 15 days or so.

Flutter, flutter, flutter!

Blaugrun flapped his small wings and flew towards Iha. Now I know what that movement means.

“Keu, aren’t you eating it too often? It would be nice if I could eat a lot and grow quickly…”

[Kyu-kyu! Wow!]

“Ack! Okay, okay, just wait. This doesn’t just come out of nowhere.”

Iha opened the bag and took out a few items.

A method that I managed to find by combining the data on hatchling growth obtained from the Sacred Grill and the information obtained through Bailippus and Bahamut!

“One rare vitality potion and two special status removal potions… I’ll use this as the base for the sauce – Well, the only ingredients left are a couple of pieces of snake meat, so this is okay, right? [Seasoned snake skewers] Call?”

[Kwow! Kyu-kyu!]

Blaugrun was nodding his head violently and drooling.

Lee Ha laughed while looking at the bronze dragon.

‘Me, indeed. The only way for dragon hatchlings to grow is through feeding…’

Of course, the difference is that the food is expensive items that regular users find difficult to pay for, and that they have to be given frequently, but now. Fortunately, it is not a burden for those below.

Above all, the characteristic was that at least ‘rare’ potions must be included, but now for those below, 2 rare potions a day are free!

‘Once they reach adult level, they don’t need to eat, but feeding is necessary at hatchling and juvenile levels… They also said that the reason is not simple growth, but related to magic, so make sure to feed them.’

Last time, Blaugrun stumbled and tried to fall after a single recovery spell, and that was why he disappeared from Iha’s side at every opportunity.

Since my so-called partner didn’t prepare food for me, I ended up eating it myself!

Even with that body and condition, could it be said that his actions of bringing items, even going to the extent of using subspace magic for Iha, are truly the characteristics of a good Bronze Dragon?

“Come on, let’s go to the kitchen!”

[Kyuut-! Kyuu, kyuu-!]

Blaugrun was waving his small wings and drawing a circle above Iha’s head. Another day like this, the following schedule passed at City Gaza.

Lee Ha was immersed in his work to forget his trivial thoughts, but that didn’t mean time stopped.

Saturday came quickly.

* * *

“Push fast, push fast! If we miss this bus, the next one is in 15 minutes, so we’ll be late!”

“So, brother, that hair – it wasn’t time to get your hair done – ugh!”

Geek!

The wheels of the wheelchair below ran down the sidewalk as if drifting. The person who was running with his thighs bursting behind the wheelchair was Ki-jeong.

In order to postpone the promise to meet Shin Na-ra and Bo-bae, of course he had to tell Ki-jeong about it and the reason.

‘who? Ram Hwayeon? ‘The Ram Hwayeon I know?’

‘huh. please help me Transportation to get to Incheon Airport is quite inconvenient…’ ‘

No, uh- wait a minute, Eung-ah. Ram Hwayeon in Korea? Is Ram Hwa-jeong coming? ‘Don’t you remember how much I suffered from those women?’

‘Well, that was a long time ago.’

‘…I still clearly remember the time when Ram Hwa-jeong froze my head… I still remember the feeling of my neck snapping like a toy…’ However, kind-hearted Ki-jeong refuses Lee Ha-wi’s request

. There was no way I could do it.

That’s why I’ve been rushing to Leeha’s house since Saturday morning to catch the bus to the airport.

“Uh, uhh—the bus is coming, the bus is coming!”

“You can ride! You can ride! Mr. Knight! for a moment! stop!”

The two young men, who had been making a fuss since early morning, managed to get on the airport bus.

After folding the wheelchair and putting it in the luggage compartment, Ki-jeong, with the help of the bus driver, lifted I-ha and placed her in the chair.

“I’m sorry, Kijeong. If I save a little more, it will cover the cost of the surgery-”

“That’s it, that’s it. Why are Eong-ah and I so sorry? Let’s eat a big meal later!”

“Hey, but thanks to me, Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong are actually meeting. is not it?”

“Tsk… what can I do about that? I’ll just drop my brother off and go home again. I wasn’t invited, so what do I do if I’m around you?”

“That’s true, but… anyway, thank you and I’m sorry.”

Ki-jeong’s role is literally as a means of mobility assistance. Lee Ha also knew what Ki-jeong had said, so he had nothing more to say.

“But Eong-ya, was it really Ram Hwayeon who sang it? Do you want me to buy you food when I come to Korea?”

“Um, well. yes.”

“Eunga, because of those words, you abandoned your promise to Shinnara? This is it, our Eong-ah, pay attention to your hairstyle too, right~?”

Even as they were traveling on the bus, Ki-jeong looked at Leeha with strange eyes.

Since he clearly knew what the thoughts were in those eyes, Lee Ha just shook his head with a bewildered expression.

“hey! Don’t think strangely. You know who suffered the most after the city was destroyed this time. Of course, I’m really thankful to you too, but….”
