Chapter 18

Chapter 18

A new day started again.

Having eaten potatoes full the previous day and finished field work all day I was making my own plan on the 1st floor while waiting for the ability’s cooldown.

“Hmm, this side area plant this again...”

Most of the potatoes that didn’t become items were eaten up. Instead the still growing, probably item potatoes I was thinking of growing all as seedlings and planting again.

“If so it will become mana potatoes.”

A new variety of potato thought higher than ‘imbued with mana’.

Anyway since the hidden quest to discover a new crop also had to be cleared while at it it was a natural step.

Casually turning my gaze the new recruit was harvesting tomatoes imbued with mana. Looking at the plant’s state it seemed it would gradually become the last harvest.

“When it ends plant mana cherry tomato seeds newly here too, Leila already planted again...”

Anyway most of the work the slimes do so what I have to do is mainly making plans and managing.

Scribbling on the notebook for a long time like that the thought came of gradually going out again.

“By now hyung Yeongseong would have seen the analysis results of the fruit and vegetable juice, curious about the Ara Hongryeon dungeon subjugation too, hand some materials to Jaeseong.”

Of course before that I was thinking of using the ability and going out. Humming a tune and scribbling on the notebook again time came.

Currently the slimes I possess are a total of 6.

Puu, Mark Two, Dokdok, and three new recruits.

Having neglected slime synthesis a bit while making fruit and vegetable juice before I knew it there were three new recruits.

“Here, today is your turn.”

I could synthesize Mark Two and Dokdok but for now left them. Instead decided to make a new level 2.

[Slime LV.1 and Slime LV.1 will be synthesized.]

[The combining slimes share all memories and experiences.]

[Slime LV.2]

It is an ordinary? slime.

‘Liquid Synthesis possible’

Ability: Acrobatics LV.1

Last time running came out and this time another bizarre ability came out.

“A guy without limbs what acrobatics.”

The Mark Two and Dokdok that came out first felt like heavenly luck. Of course I haven’t utilized Dokdok’s poison yet but much higher usability than running or acrobatics.

Having used liquid synthesis like that I made fruit and vegetable juice using the remaining harvested tomatoes and remaining Leila.

And after making one more new recruit prepared to go out.

Packed the remaining potatoes, even so 3, and the last cherry tomatoes imbued with mana just harvested, and one more Leila.

I was thinking of handing to Jaeseong for now.

Packed the fruit and vegetable juice made in advance too and shouted to the hardworking slimes.

“When I return if there’s a report matter report right away! Especially when harvested!”

Wriggle!

Puu-

Having firmly instructed and coming out the phone immediately started vibrating.

“Um...!”

Confirming right away as expected hyung Yeongseong and Kang Hanul. By the way already came out of the dungeon?

“Only two days have passed.”

Looking at the text the content that safely succeeded the dungeon subjugation was contained. At the same time there were also words that the fruit and vegetable juice and paralysis poison I handed played a big role.

“Fortunate that it helped.”

Blankly reading the text content like that there were also unexpected words together.

-Younger brother! Our hyung Seokjun says he wants to see the face once how about it? Saying he wants to see the first class contributor of this subjugation and casually tip him.

“What?!”

Seokjun? Don’t tell me Ara Hongryeon guild master Han Seokjun?

Kang Hanul was also actually a tremendous big shot. But to think the guild master of the Ara Hongryeon Guild directly says to meet...

“When was it sent?”

Checking the time it was a text that came a few hours ago.

I sent an okay sign without a sign of hesitation for now.

-I came out now. If I can meet guild master Han Seokjun it’s an honor for me.

There’s nothing bad about making acquaintance.

Moreover though lip service praise since my items seemed to have helped in their own way it seemed I could make a good impression.

Ding!

-Oh! By any chance shall we go to the cafe we saw last time? I’ll go together with hyung Seokjun.

Immediately a reply came.

And naturally I thought I would go but at the words of coming this way directly I urgently left a text.

-I’ll go that way.

No less than Ara Hongryeon.

If the guild master’s invitation I could fully tour inside the guild too. A place I had yearned for in my own way so just imagining I got excited.

‘I can see Ara Hongryeon Guild awakeners too! Can I see Jeong Soyeon or David, Yu Sihu?’

I was only a grade 1 awakener so awakeners hard to even encounter in my wildest dreams.

Probably the lowest grade awakener in the Ara Hongryeon Guild would be grade 4.

Ding!

-Ooh! Will you? Then sorry but waiting!

Though only a text Kang Hanul’s intense tone was felt. Like that the Ara Hongryeon matter ended and I examined hyung Yeongseong’s text.

-Gyuseong, if you happen to confirm can I obtain one more fruit and vegetable juice?

Just in time I made two more fruit and vegetable juices.

I left a reply that it’s possible and also left the words that I was invited to Ara Hongryeon.

Ding!

-Then I’ll wait on the Ara Hongryeon side too. See there.

Having finished the conversation I immediately started descending the mountain. And headed to Gangnam Seocho-gu where the Ara Hongryeon Guild was located.

While loading my body on the subway and heading I checked the internet for a moment.

Then there articles about Ara Hongryeon were pouring all over.

‘What again?’

For a moment thinking if negative articles like last time I flinched but soon examining the content unexpected content was contained.

-27 hours! That alone is enough to resolve a grade 4 dungeon!

-World’s shortest record renewed! Ara Hongryeon Guild did another one!

-Predator Kang Hanul, “Who said it failed?” Roars toward everyone!

Huhu.

Topics that can’t help but be very interesting.

I read the articles one by one in detail as if I received praise myself.

Literally articles full of favorable reviews and praise, astonishment. Comment reactions weren’t bad either and except some twisted comments all were positive reactions.

-As expected Korea’s first guild. The power of old age?

-Crazy 27 hours! The previous record was 52 hours almost shortened by two times lol

-Did you see. This is kimchi power.

-But it changes right away when Kang Hanul participates. Is Jeong Soyeon still lacking experience?

└Still since Korea’s youngest grade 6 awakener the potential is higher right?

└That’s unknown.

I didn’t know time passing reading articles and comments.

Then before I knew it I arrived at Seocho-gu where Ara Hongryeon’s building was located.

As soon as getting off the station the sparkling building far away was exactly Ara Hongryeon’s building the country’s first guild.

“Keu.”

Actually seeing it was the second time.

The first was when I came saying I’d try awakening and pouring money for motivation.

‘To think I’d come again like this.’

The emotion was strange.

Until receiving only grade 1 judgment with the ambiguous ability obtained after awakening I thought there would be no chance of coming to a place like this again.

I headed to Ara Hongryeon with shoulders fully straightened.

Though still only a grade 1 awakener no different from then the content inside changed.

No less than a dual awakener.

That too unique competitiveness with farm work only I alone can do.

“Ah! Hyung Yeongseong!”

Just in time hyung Yeongseong was sitting on a bench near the building. The hyung who discovered me smiled and waved his hand.

“Sorry it seems I call too often these days.”

“No, hyung. For now receive this.”

I handed the prepared fruit and vegetable juice.

Hyung showed a sorry face seeing the two prepared fruit and vegetable juices.

“I’ll deposit the money right now.”

“Hyung, no need to give 10 million won rashly like last time.”

“No. This is an item with that much value.”

[20,000,000 won has been deposited.]

“Actually I want to give more. But because you might feel burdened I only give this much too. What remains for me now is only money.”

At the large amount that came in again a slightly sorry emotion arose. If an unknown person I would receive even inflating the price but hyung Yeongseong was a person who helped me in hard times.

Moreover since I know the reason for buying this fruit and vegetable juice I was even more sorry.

“From now if I make something new I’ll unconditionally sell to hyung first.”

“Haha! If you do that thanks. Still I have the thought of paying the proper price without undercutting.”

“By the way how are the analysis results?”

“This time because it’s an important item I confirmed directly. As you said harmless to the human body. Still just in case I did some clinical experiments and it was fine. Now only feeding to my wife remains.”

“Then today...?”

“Yeah.”

Without knowing I became nervous.

Probably hyung Yeongseong was much more nervous. Even so the face that looked peaceful felt amazing.

“I hope it goes well. If fruit and vegetable juice is insufficient please tell anytime.”

“Thanks, Gyuseong.”

I couldn’t hold hyung Yeongseong long so with those words we exchanged farewells.

Like that hyung left and I moved my steps to the entrance of Ara Hongryeon’s building.

‘Since I’ve never seen a poisoned person eat directly I don’t know how much effect there will be. What if the effect isn’t much? Ah, then improve the crops more and raise the level...’

Whether meeting hyung Yeongseong even entering Ara Hongryeon’s building my head was full only of thoughts about fruit and vegetable juice and poison.

So I couldn’t avoid the person suddenly blocking in front.

Tok!

“Ah! Sorry.”

“No. By any chance are you a guest visiting from somewhere?”

Looking up a tall youth who looked like a bodyguard was smiling and asking kindly.

“Ah, I’m Lee Gyuseong. I have an appointment with Mr. Kang Hanul and guild master Han Seokjun.”

“...You’re Mr. Lee Gyuseong?”

“Yes.”

“Um, please wait a moment.”

Casually examining the surroundings quite many people were visible.

And I could know most of their gazes were directed at me.

‘What?’

Immersed in fruit and vegetable juice it was hard to judge the situation right away. Then small murmuring voices caught my ear.

“Who is it saying he has an appointment with the 2nd team leader and guild master?”

“Yeah. A face seeing for the first time?”

“Isn’t it just a weird person?”

Ah!

It seems I caused some misunderstanding.

Well even thinking myself if a suddenly appeared unknown says he came to meet Ara Hongryeon’s guild master and team leader it would be thought strange.

Then just in time the man who said to wait a moment returned to me again.

“By any chance, is it grade 1 awakener Mr. Lee Gyuseong?”

“Yes.”

Embarrassingly do I have to do awakener identity inquiry?

Revealing that it’s grade 1 was honestly embarrassing.

“Because there was no matter delivered in advance the staff went to confirm for a moment. Could you wait a moment?”

“Ah, thank you.”

What, this guy.

Didn’t prepare in advance?

A situation that anyone looking would misunderstand was created.

Of course the man before my eyes was still maintaining a kind attitude but the surrounding people weren’t.

“Grade 1 awakener?”

“This time our guild did something amazing but even so not anyone like that...”

Receiving stinging glances and waiting awkwardly people waited together with eyes expecting the conclusion of me being driven out.

‘No go do your business why...’

Waiting roughly 5 minutes like that.

In the awkward situation where 1 minute felt like 10 minutes I scratched my head and slowly looked around.

‘Wow, as expected Ara Hongryeon. The building is jackpot too.’

Probably an interior made with byproducts from dungeons. As the saying if you can’t avoid enjoy it since it became like this I diligently toured inside the guild.

“Uh?!”

Then someone made a surprised voice.

Soon the commotion spread and as everyone stared in one direction my gaze also naturally turned.

‘Wow, Jeong Soyeon?’

The signboard awakener of Ara Hongryeon I only saw on TV or internet was walking before my eyes.

The her full of healthy beauty fluttering long straight hair approached this way.

“Eeh?”

What? Why coming to me?

And as if my expectation wasn’t wrong she approached straight to me and asked.

“Mr. Lee Gyuseong?”

“Yes, I’m Lee Gyuseong.”

“Hello. I’m Jeong Soyeon. Nice to meet you.”

“Yep. Nice to meet you.”

How did this happen?

While questions continued swimming she gestured.

“Sorry preparations weren’t done in advance. Please follow me. I’ll take you to where the 2nd team leader and guild master are.”

“Ah, yep!”

People’s murmuring grew even bigger.

But since I was also out of it the same I followed behind her for now.

By the way actually seeing she’s much prettier.

‘What am I thinking now!’

Jeong Soyeon who pressed the elevator button looked back at me trying to come to my senses.

“Mr. Lee Gyuseong?”

“Yes.”

“That item. I heard Mr. Lee Gyuseong made it.”

That item?

Probably talking about the fruit and vegetable juice and poison?

“Yes, that’s right.”

Before I knew it the people who were together a little while ago casually followed.

No, everyone should go do their own business why keep clinging?

Still this time not negative gazes like earlier but gazes filled with curiosity and expectation.

“Mr. Gyuseong.”

“Yes.”

“I covet it.”

“Yes?”

Jeong Soyeon with sparkling eyes suddenly threw strange words. At the same time murmuring similar to cheers burst from the surroundings.

“I covet Mr. Gyuseong!”

“No what do you mean...?!”
