Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 48
Episode 48
The place Dio hurried to after leaving the mercenary office was none other than Estellum’s warehouse.
Dio paid the storage fee to the warehouse manager and immediately opened his own warehouse.

‘One bundle of 100 each. ‘I put in at least two sets.’
If these items were truly useless, Dio would not have put them in the warehouse, but these items were not worthless items.
As Evelyn said, it can be used as a material for other items or research, but it has a more important use.
‘You can see it as a quest item.’
This was precisely why Dio told Sepia and Evelyn to select only the collection requests.
Even if you’re a max level character, you’ll have to visit Estel Room at least once.
Then, all the numerous items obtained each time were piled up in the warehouse.
Perhaps Dio’s warehouse contains far more items than are needed for Estellum’s collection request.
There were so many that they couldn’t all fit into the limited inventory, but it didn’t matter.
If there is a shortage, it is a problem that can be easily solved by stopping by the warehouse again.
‘I guess I’ll just have to pack the quest items for now. I guess I’ll have to come by sometime later.’
Dio recalled the requests he had seen at the mercenary office and began to select only the necessary items.
* * *
“…I did collect it like he said.”
“Hmm…”
Sephia and Evelyn had taken all the collection requests as Dio said.
However, it was inevitable that he would be looked at by other mercenaries or hunters in the process.
“Hey are you going to finish them all today?”
“Don’t be greedy.”
As the grim-looking mercenaries flocked to Sephia and Evelyn and each began to shout, the atmosphere immediately became dangerous.
“Do these lowly bastards know who this person is and threaten them?”
“what? “The one who fell short?”
Sephia and Evelyn’s monopoly on collecting requests was not an especially against-the-line behavior in mercenary society.
However, it is true that it is not moral to take on a number of requests that cannot be resolved in a short period of time.
However, the mercenaries’ expressions became even more crumpled when they heard Evelyn’s words, as they were not used to talking to people.
“Say it again! “You sullen looking bitch!”
“Gloom? How dare you say something like that to me? “I am the Shadow Demon!”
Seeing Evelyn getting even more excited by the mercenaries’ abusive language and trying to go wild, Sepia quickly covered her mouth.
This was a passage that clearly explains why witches are burned at the stake if they go alone.
“Everyone be quiet! Fighting is prohibited in the office.”
The situation did not get any worse due to Sepia’s restraint, but the conflict was still there, so a mercenary manager appeared to mediate the situation.
“No matter how good the mercenaries are, it is impossible to solve so many requests at once.”
The manager walked up to Sepia, who was covering Evelyn’s mouth, and spoke politely.
“Wouldn’t it be right to take it and leave the rest? “For everyone.”
“Is that so?”
Evelyn looked confused at the manager’s words.
Even for Evelyn, who was less socialized, the manager’s words were persuasive.
How frustrating would it be if someone completely unaware of your work snatched it up?
“After hearing it, it seems like it’s true, right? “I’m not a greedy witch… and I’m not a wizard.”
When Evelyn fell for the manager’s deceptive trick and tried to hand over the requests she had collected to him, Sepia hurriedly stopped her.
“Master! No!”
“Huh? no?”
Evelyn, who had a dumb expression on her face, soon came to her senses when Sepia whispered.
-There is no problem with us taking the lead. If Dio comes back, I’m sure he will solve it.
-Is that so? So should I just hand this over?
-No.
The manager frowned at the sight of Sephia and Evelyn whispering in front of him, and thought.
It is wrong to scold the novice(?) mercenaries in front of you through conversation.
The moment the manager was about to call the security guard working at the office, as this was not the first time he had to deal with such situations.
“for a moment!”
thud!
What was thrown in front of the manager who was trying to call security were heavy sacks.
“What is this?”
The manager took his eyes off the pile of sacks on the floor and looked around for the person who had thrown them away.
“That request.”
The person who appeared, pushing away the mercenaries who had gathered in the commotion, was none other than Dio, and he opened his mouth, pointing to the bundle of requests the manager was holding.
“I’ll finish everything today.”
“yes?”
The manager, who had a bewildered expression on his face at Dio’s words, moved his gaze to the sack next to him and checked the contents inside, wondering if it was possible.
“What is all this?”
Numerous quest items contained in the sack.
The manager, who had never seen so many requests before, looked at Jaru and Dio in turn, as if he couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with his own eyes.
“How long will it take to process? “Would one day be enough?”
On the contrary, when D.O. asked if the process would be completed in one day, the manager immediately came to his senses and hurriedly called other employees.
“Oh my, I didn’t know. Because there are so many, it will take some time to check them all. hey! “What are you doing?”
The employees who responded to the manager’s call hurriedly moved the items brought by Dio to the storage warehouse.
“Please wait in the lounge over there. “Due to the large number of requests, there will be additional procedures to process, do you mind?”
The bewildered expressions on the faces of the mercenaries who were watching the guidance of the manager who had suddenly become kinder were truly a sight to behold.
“What are you doing? let’s go.”

[Complete collection of vampire fangs.]
[Complete collection of jade beads imbued with a dead body.]
[Complete collection of vampire blood packs.]

[Experience points increased by 201654 as a quest reward.]
A system message appeared every time the process of checking whether the brought items were real or fake was completed and the quest was stamped as completed.
‘That’s really cool.’
Unlike Dio, who was not interested in the compensation the manager put on the table, Evelyn muttered as she watched the compensation accumulating one by one.
“A sack or two of potatoes….”
“….”
Dio doesn’t need money.
Just like when he cleaned the River North underground waterway, all he needs is experience.
‘Even if it becomes reality, you still count this as an experience. It looks like the player’s privileges are still maintained.’
Dio happily looked at the experience window rising steadily.
Dio was not the only one whose experience level increased.
Perhaps thanks to the oath of liberation, Sepia, who was indirectly influenced by the ‘player’, also shared the experience gained by Dio.
“I feel strange…I feel like my fatigue is gone…”
“Is that right? “This is my first time feeling like this.”
Evelyn agreed with Sephia’s words.
However, only Dio knew that the feelings they were talking about were different.
‘This will be my first time experiencing the feeling of growth just by sitting still.’
Sephia, whose level was rising through enormous experience points, instinctively felt that she was becoming stronger.
Dio smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his status window, which stopped at level 110.
The distribution of contractors was a bit lower than that of the players, and Sepia’s level stopped at 60, but Dio was satisfied with this alone.
-Those guys, right? They swept up all the requests…
– Oh, I heard that they are knights?
-No, it was the kids from the Magic Tower!
-okay? I thought they were mercenaries, but they are great guys anyway.
A story of mercenaries wandering far away is heard.
‘It got quite a bit of attention. Still, it doesn’t matter since we’ve already taken measures to this level.’
Dio knows in detail the level of mercenaries living in Estellum.
It would be difficult for a mercenary, even a B-class, to see through Evelyn’s perception-impairing magic.
Moreover, as mentioned earlier, Estellum was like a northern advance base beyond the influence of the Luna Church, so there was no temple or anything like that.
‘If Luna’s temple had existed in the first place, Estellum would have disappeared without a trace.’
Since it is not an area where Luna’s priests operate, there is only one thing Dio has to be careful about.
‘I may need to change my fighting style from now on.’
According to the information provided by Sigmund, the Luna Church was tracking ‘Monte’ in Evra Village.
I don’t know why the Luna Church was interested in Monte, but given the current situation, it is clear that it is related to the forgotten temple.
Although no one saw Monte’s face under the mask, everyone in Evra Village witnessed Monte’s fighting methods.
Its characteristic is that it uses a magical ‘width’ along with a huge great sword to engage in battle.
‘The priest Crupis I met in the underground waterway. If he had received information about Monte, he would have definitely noticed.’
At that time, I didn’t know that Luna was chasing me, so I couldn’t prepare for anything.
However, we can now learn that the church that was contacted has sent a heresy inquisitor to find a person named ‘Dio’ who shows the same fighting style as Monte.
‘The sword and width are definitely noticeable. It would be a good idea to change weapons and reduce exposure.’
In the first place, the Great Sword of Crushing was a level 60 item.
Now it was time to let him go, so Dio was armed with the Silver Arming Sword he had prepared in advance instead of the Great Sword of Crushing.
As its name suggests, the level 100 weapon brought from Rivernos was an undead-only weapon made by mixing steel and silver.
It feels a bit lacking to be used as a main weapon.
After all, the Silver Arming Sword is a rare grade weapon.
However, if you raise your level a little more, you will be able to use the level 130 unique equipment in Estel Room.
‘It’ll be okay if I stick with this until then.’
Dio looked at the blade of the Arming Sword, which deals additional damage to undead monsters, and organized the rewards for the quest he had just finished.
“Can you give me just a little bit?”
“Take as much as you want.”
“Really?”
At Dio’s words, Evelyn began to pack the money bags one by one.
The more money, the better, but the amount obtained as a reward for this quest was not enough to impress Dio much.
“You too, take as much as you need.”
“I’m OK.”
Sephia shook her head in refusal at Dio’s words, but Evelyn, who was next to her, actually made a fuss.
“sepia! Grab it while you can! Should we go to the market?”
“Is the sun setting now?”
“All people are lazy! “There will still be something to see.”
Estellum is not a tourist attraction or a developed market, but for Evelyn, who devoted her entire life to research, it was no different from an amusement park.
Evelyn, who was very excited about this, tried to lead Sephia’s hand and go outside, but Dio stopped her.
“Not now.”
“why?”
“Because it’s almost night.”
“I know that. “We are not children.”
Evelyn grumbled, but Dio shook his head firmly.
It wouldn’t matter if this was a village other than Estellum, but this is an undead city.
At night, even inside the city, danger lurked at any time, so Dio opened his palm to Evelyn, who did not listen.
“If you won’t listen to me, spit out the money again.”
“…What room are we in? sepia. “Today’s class is about the wind attribute.”
Evelyn pretended not to hear what Dio said and hid the bag of money behind her.
Seeing Evelyn like that, even Sephia, who had been distraught by the news about Sigmund, smiled slightly.
After finishing all his errands at the mercenary office, Dio and his companions headed straight to the lodging they had initially reserved.
“I’m getting tired.”
When Dio arrived at his room, he sat down on the bed and laid down on his back.
-I saw it earlier and they were selling frog skewers. Do you want to go eat together tomorrow?
Evelyn’s voice came from the room next door.
The excited voice, like a high school girl on a field trip, made D.O even more tired.
The physical stats have increased, but the mental ones seem to be separate.
‘But I leveled up comfortably today… Shall I warm up tomorrow? I won’t be able to do collection quests for a while.’
Since I completed all of the collection quests in one day, it was natural that I would not be able to complete the collection quests until the same quest was renewed.
‘As I disposed of the collectibles, there was empty space in my inventory, so I have to take care of the level 130-limited equipment I had been planning to get…’
Dio closed his eyes, but could not fall asleep easily.
As time passed, Evelyn’s loud voice gradually quieted down.
They probably fell asleep quickly after the arduous journey.
…It’s a quiet night.
I hope nothing happens in Estel Room like this…

-Hey Joseph, there’s a big case.
-What kind of bullshit are you talking about again, Gordon?
A quiet night street in Estellum.
Two men who looked grumpy at first glance were talking in front of an accommodation facility for travelers.
-Didn’t you hear the story?
– So what are you talking about?
The man named Gordon looked at his irritated colleague and opened his mouth with a grin.
“The mercenaries who received a huge number of commission rewards today.”
“I thought I heard it at first glance…why?”
“Let us rob it.”
