Chapter 19

At the sudden words the brain stopped working.

What did Jeong Soyeon just say?

“Ool~!”

“Whistle!”

“Jeong Soyeon is bold? Going straight ahead?”

Soon as the people around made a commotion Jeong Soyeon’s expression also changed to bewildered.

Soon after the face gradually dyed red and she waved both hands.

“A, no! That’s not the meaning! M, my words...!”

As the flustered Jeong Soyeon couldn’t continue words and flapped the elevator arrived before I knew it.

Ding!

“Ah! E, elevator! Let’s go, Mr. Gyuseong!”

“Yes? Yep!”

Jeong Soyeon pulled my arm.

At that appearance people burst cheers once more and were busy teasing.

“We bothered for no reason.”

“Have a good time~!”

Jeong Soyeon waved her hands saying it was a misunderstanding in a flustered voice until the elevator door closed but in the end the door closed without being able to explain anything.

“I...”

As the door closed silence embraced the inside.

In the end when I first casually opened my mouth Jeong Soyeon still with a face dyed red only gave a glance.

“A, misunderstanding.”

“Yes. But what did coveting mean? Were you talking about my item?”

Naturally.

I didn’t misunderstand at all.

To begin with she was a signboard awakener belonging to the Republic of Korea’s top 5 guild. The elite of elites who is the country’s youngest grade 6 awakener and already occupying the team leader position liking me seeing for the first time doesn’t make sense.

“Ah! Right!”

“Thank you for looking favorably. As it is since there’s a connection with awakener Kang Hanul if lucky there seems to be a chance of supplying my items to Ara Hongryeon.”

Because it seemed the item’s effect was recognized the mood was good. A feeling of myself being recognized.

By the way I don’t know how good the fruit and vegetable juice’s effect was to send such a hot reaction. Since I haven’t eaten and used it directly...

“No!”

“Yes?”

While alone grinning and being happy Jeong Soyeon suddenly approached in front of me and thrust her face.

The fine forehead and long eyelashes, sparkling eyes felt too beautiful.

“Not the 2nd team leader to me!”

“Suddenly what are you saying? To awakener Jeong Soyeon?”

“Ah! Sorry. I sudden accelerated again. So my words...”

Ding!

The elevator arrived.

Soon the door opened and a wide corridor caught the eye.

“Waa...”

The uppermost part of the Ara Hongryeon Guild.

That place was a different world where the ceiling whose end was hard to see and geometric design harmonized.

“The guild master and 2nd team leader suddenly had urgent business and left the seat for a moment. They’ll return soon so if you wait a bit it should be fine.”

“Understood.”

“And the words I said a little while ago just forget thinking I talked nonsense.”

Jeong Soyeon smiled refreshingly and said.

That appearance looking fresh and confident was impressive.

“Is awakener Jeong Soyeon not busy?”

“Because of this Yeongdeungpo dungeon there’s a lot of talk. So I decided not to appear in the media for a moment. That also seems to resolve soon.”

“Ah...”

Did I bring up an awkward conversation topic for no reason.

She would be having a hard time in the heart from being on the lips of the world but I seemed to have talked insensitively.

“That’s that and the item Mr. Gyuseong made, no should I call that an item?”

“You can call comfortably.”

“Anyway that was extremely delicious!”

“Ah!”

Looking now the person who directly ate the fruit and vegetable juice was Jeong Soyeon!

Anyway it seemed more surprised at the taste than surprised at the fruit and vegetable juice’s ability. I naturally thought she highly valued it as an item.

“Haa, too regrettable. There was only one and the ability maintenance time was short so I had to move urgently before even savoring the taste.”

“Umm...”

I recalled the cherry tomatoes in the bag just in time. I couldn’t bring mana cherry tomatoes but brought a bundle of just harvested cherry tomatoes imbued with mana.

Swoosh-

“Uh? That?”

“Similar materials to what went into the fruit and vegetable juice awakener Jeong Soyeon ate. Though a bit degraded version...”

I took out the cherry tomatoes and unwrapped the envelope.

The semi-transparent tomatoes poured gloss.

“You can eat.”

“Really?! Ah, but this wasn’t why I brought up the words...”

Whether she thought it a precious item a hesitating color was visible. Contrary to such her worry I first took out and ate one.

Tok!

“Umm!”

There wasn’t the melting feeling like mana cherry tomatoes but this was a delicacy in its own way. Rather in the texture part there might be people who like this side more.

“Delicious. Please try eating once.”

“J, just like that?”

“Since meeting like this is also a connection for me stamping eyes on awakener Jeong Soyeon is good.”

I said honestly.

If a famous person most Koreans would know is in front wanting to get close is natural!

With this opportunity grow connections in awakener society, and raise the fame of my crops too.

Tok!

While thinking Jeong Soyeon carefully put the tomato in her mouth. And the reaction that appeared immediately,

“Uum?!”

Making a surprised expression and cutely munching she soon swallowed the tomato and made a melting expression.

“Delicious...”

Really melted.

Seeing such a reaction I became too curious what reaction she would show when eating other crops.

‘Is this a farmer’s heart.’

When seeing people satisfied eating the crops I cultivated, a much bigger satisfaction and pride than expected surged.

“You can eat more.”

“Yes? Really?”

“Just leave about half.”

Even with about half Jaeseong can use sufficiently. If insufficient I can cultivate again.

She who was stealthily checking eyes soon picked and ate one more, and later couldn’t stop and kept stretching her hand.

Fortunately it was an amount of almost 20kg if I brought a little it seemed it would disappear in an instant.

“What! Jeong Soyeon! Why are you eating something delicious alone like that!”

“Ah!!”

Then the elevator door opened and two people appeared. One was the familiar build Kang Hanul, and one was the Ara Hongryeon guild master Han Seokjun I often saw on TV.

‘Hyung, nim...?’

Kang Hanul had called him hyung but the appearance looked similar age to me.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Gyuseong. I’m Han Seokjun.”

“Ah! Nice to meet you. I’m Lee Gyuseong.”

Standing up from the spot and bowing the waist I received Han Seokjun’s greeting. Kang Hanul raised such me then suddenly hugged tightly.

“Mr. Hanul?”

“Uahaha! Thanks to you we set a record! All thanks to younger brother!”

“A, understood. Suffocating!”

Tok!

Barely feet touching the floor I sighed once and scratched my head.

“Anyway it was an item sold receiving proper compensation. Not my thanks but thanks to Mr. Hanul’s judgment.”

“What are you saying! Ah! First receive the money.”

Kang Hanul immediately took out the phone and sent me money. With this 10 million more came in and my assets exceeded 70 million won.

“The promise last time that if succeeding the dungeon subjugation I’ll give more. Uahaha!”

“Thank you.”

Then whether tomatoes entered Kang Hanul’s field of vision he stealthily asked.

“Can I eat some too?”

“You have to pay.”

“Hmm! Of course I’ll pay!”

When money talk came out Jeong Soyeon’s complexion slightly whitened. Why like that?

“A, I, sorry. I just ate without any thought... I’ll pay too!”

“A, awakener Jeong Soyeon is fine. First meeting discount.”

“Yes? Th, that...”

When I spoke as if joking Kang Hanul made a pouting expression then soon nodded.

“I also ate for free at first. Not knowing that was a trap.”

“Yes?”

“Thanks to falling into that trap now I’ve become a body that can’t live without younger brother Gyuseong’s tomatoes.”

“...”

I played a joke a bit and he played a scarier joke.

Anyway I smiled and excluded only the tomatoes to hand to Jaeseong separately and just gave to them.

Thinking about it as Kang Hanul said after letting taste once like this making them purchase also seemed good.

Though a bit hard to say with my mouth my crops certainly have competitiveness and addictiveness so once tasting seems unable to escape.

“Ooh.”

Guild master Han Seokjun also shone both eyes located behind the glasses and savored the tomato.

Then suddenly asked me.

“Originally I invited to convey thanks but if only Mr. Gyuseong is okay may I make one proposal?”

“Yes. Please speak.”

“Can I regularly receive things like these tomatoes? Of course I’ll pay the price.”

Ooh!

To think Ara Hongryeon directly gives a supply proposal!

Still I calmed the excitement and thought calmly.

‘I also haven’t been a few days yet so I can’t guess how much volume I can produce.’

It seems I can sell the remaining after taking care of the slimes in gaps but supplying to a giant guild like Ara Hongryeon was close to impossible in reality.

Of course later the ability will rise and farming experience increase so I can produce much more amount more efficiently but the contract right now felt unreasonable.

“Thank you for the guild master’s words. But I don’t have the confidence to handle the volume yet.”

“Ah, then it can’t be helped.”

“Even later may I propose again from my side?”

“Of course. I’ll always be waiting.”

Even opening a waterway like this is somewhere.

There was no need to rush yet. My farming is starting from now.

“Ah, if okay would you like to try this too?”

I appealed that I don’t only have tomatoes. Taking out one potato and one Leila everyone’s eyes dyed with interest.

“You brought Leila too! And potatoes are the first for me too! Uahaha!”

“2nd team leader have you monopolized Mr. Gyuseong’s items before us? Too much!”

“If unfair you should have known younger brother Gyuseong before me! Uahaha!”

Jeong Soyeon and Kang Hanul bickered briefly.

In the meantime I peeled Leila’s outer skin and cut the flesh into amounts one person each can eat.

‘The rest I’ll take to Jaeseong...’

As the thick fruit scent of Leila vibrated everyone started swallowing saliva.

“You can eat.”

“There are leftovers at home but I was eating sparingly to think I’d hit the jackpot like this! Uahaha!”

“2nd team leader. You said there are leftovers at home? Without telling me?”

“A, hyung, that...”

Since raw potatoes can’t be eaten I called an employee and asked to simply make mashed potatoes. I had 3 but 2 were unconditionally Jaeseong’s share.

‘If eating one bite each they’ll disappear.’

I was realizing the importance of volume earnestly.

Afterwards those who ate Leila all shook their heads with moved faces.

“This seems more delicious than what I ate in the dungeon what is it?”

“Uahaha! What comes out of the dungeon isn’t an item but this is an item! Naturally more delicious!”

“Is that so?”

Kang Hanul who lightly resolved Jeong Soyeon’s question regretted eating all his share of Leila and said.

“Hyung, while waiting for the potatoes shall we go now?”

Hm? Where are they going?

Holding a question and watching the two’s conversation Han Seokjun said to me.

“Thanks to Mr. Gyuseong’s item this time we really benefited greatly. So our Ara Hongryeon side wants to give a return gift to Mr. Gyuseong.”

“If a return gift...?”

“There is our Ara Hongryeon Guild’s treasure warehouse. Dungeon collection. Distinguished into several stages according to the degree of preciousness and we want to provide one among stage 2 or below collections to Mr. Gyuseong for free.”

“Aa!”

That warehouses hidden by each guild exist was already a widely known story. But suddenly an opportunity to obtain any item from Ara Hongryeon’s warehouse arises for me!

‘Though only stage 2 no less than Ara Hongryeon Guild. Even stage 1 they wouldn’t store anything carelessly in the warehouse.’

An unexpected thing.

I just thought invited and get one meal but to think such a thing would happen.

“Let’s go.”

“A, yep!”

Answering dazed I followed behind.

Passing the wide corridor the place arrived at had a place made flashy openly.

“Wow.”

“From here is exactly the collection zone. The number written above is the stage so please look around comfortably with us.”

Receiving Han Seokjun’s guidance I walked side by side.

Kang Hanul and Jeong Soyeon also followed behind and listening to the whispering story it seemed they just tagged along stealthily.

“Is it okay to follow?”

“What can’t we do when we want to look at what we obtained.”

“Right? But don’t we have to tell the guild master?”

“...”

Like that we entered the stage 1 zone.

There were various items and generally consumable items or one-time installation items etc. caught the eye.

“Here is stage 1 so you can look quickly and pass. Anyway among the collected ones mainly low value ones.”

Nodding at Han Seokjun’s words I still examined slowly.

In the meantime a strangely familiar exterior entered the field of vision.

‘Slime?’

It was a small slime form item.

The color too and the shape too anyone looking was a slime but there was no way a mere slime model would be here so naturally an item or artifact from a dungeon.

Anyway interest couldn’t help but go so casually checking the item’s effect...

[Slime Copier]

You can designate one slime and copy it.

What can be designated is limited to slimes.

Usable on all slimes.

“Th, this is it!”
