Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 90

“Stretcher! Get a stretcher!”

“Over here! Quickly!”

“Ji-hoon, stay with us!”

A falling object accident—an occurrence all too common in the resource warehouse.

Fortunately, the injured worker had been wearing a helmet imbued with impact absorption magic, so the injuries likely weren’t severe.

Watching the commotion, Kim Seok-hoon sighed and said, “...That’s one of the variables I mentioned earlier. Sometimes, items react to mana fluctuations and move on their own, causing them to fall. Even if they’re secured properly, they somehow loosen. That’s why you have to be extra cautious.”

Handing Su-ho a safety helmet, Kim added with a smile, “Here, take this. Better safe than sorry.”

The accident was a perfect opportunity for Kim to teach Su-ho a lesson about the unpredictability of the job without much effort.

But to his surprise—

“Thank you,” Su-ho replied with his trademark smile, cheerfully taking the helmet and putting it on.

“Should I get started now?”

“Huh? Oh, yes, you can, but... are you sure you’re okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, you just saw that accident happen...”

“That was dangerous, but I wouldn’t really call it a variable. With proper caution, it can be avoided. I’ll head in now.”

“...”

Despite witnessing the accident up close, Su-ho remained undeterred, his determination unshaken.

Without a hint of hesitation, he strode confidently into the warehouse.

Kim Seok-hoon could only gape in astonishment, shaking his head in disbelief.

“This guy’s something else.”

“Falling object accidents in the resource warehouse? That’s just another day here.”

Su-ho stepped deeper into the warehouse and began methodically searching for the items listed on his evaluation sheet.

“Let’s start with the ones for the test.”

The so-called logistics retrieval test, part of the first evaluation, was a breeze for Su-ho. During his past rotation in the Resource Management Department, he’d done this task to the point of exhaustion.

Filling his inventory with the required items, Su-ho also began searching for something else—something not listed.

“If my memory’s correct, it should be in this warehouse around this time...”

Su-ho preferred the Resource and Gate Divisions over the Awakening and Management Divisions.

Of course, this was a perspective shaped by his regression.

While the first two divisions offered connections with people, the latter two also provided tangible rewards—valuable items and skills.

“Even if most items are logged in the database and can’t just be taken freely...” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

What Su-ho sought were hidden treasures—items with concealed properties overlooked by others.

As he scoured the warehouse, his eyes lit up.

“Found it.”

There, in the section colloquially called the “junk storage,” sat an unassuming object.
