Chapter 49
“By any chance did I hear wrong? Slime?”
As if hearing a completely unexpected word Baek Taeseop’s face was dyed with absurdity.
That was the same for others but because there was a precedent of me securing a slime copier Ara Hongryeon’s executives just accepted.
“Suddenly intervening sorry but by any chance can I contact the guild separately and confirm, Mr. Gyuseong?”
“Yes. Fine.”
“Asking again sorry but item related to slime, right?”
“Yes. Right.”
The secretary of Iron Blood Guild did something with the tablet he brought then asked Baek Taeseop.
“Representative, is it okay to show the list of items in the guild management warehouse for now? If no item related to slime seems have to present something else.”
“Um, do so. Is it okay, Mr. Gyuseong?”
“Yes. Good.”
Soon the secretary clicked the tablet screen he was holding and handed it to me. Hyung Yeongseong approached and confirmed the list together.
“Um, indeed Iron Blood Guild.”
Hyung Yeongseong who roughly examined the list nodded and admired.
Whether looking at one tablet with two people looked uncomfortable the secretary called Ara Hongryeon’s employee and asked to print the tablet’s materials on paper.
Then Ara Hongryeon’s executives stealthily stepped forward.
“Younger brother Gyuseong is now the same as our guild member so isn’t it okay if we help?”
“Right. Can give about help in choosing items.”
“Kr hmm! Print ours a bit too.”
“That...”
At Kang Hanul and Jeong Soyeon’s words Iron Blood Guild’s secretary stepped forward trying to stop but Baek Taeseop said cheerfully.
“Just leave. I also have no thought of getting the antidote for free. Since I don’t know Mr. Gyuseong’s ability exactly people who knew a bit helping is good.”
“What’s with the old man? The name iron blood will cry.”
“Hmph! For Seunghyeon I can dispose of the guild too. Mere items I can cover with my private funds.”
Soon the printed print arrived and Kang Hanul and Jeong Soyeon confirmed with excited appearances. Guild master Han Seokjun also quietly then stealthily received the list.
“Oh, even Gorgon’s jewel is there.”
“Vitriol’s shield was here! Annoying old man! Last time said none and didn’t even lend!”
“...Puttiputti’s egg! This was said to be such a delicacy...”
Each muttering confirmed the list.
When people gathered Ara also whether interest rose somehow obtained the list and started appreciating.
On the print there were rough features of the items together with photos so convenient for Ara to see too.
‘But don’t know what to choose.’
Listening to the stories there seemed quite precious items but I didn’t know well.
Like seeing more when standing in a high position I who only was in a low position the eyes seeing were also low.
While somehow looking if there is something related to slime suddenly Ara shouted.
“Ooooot!”
“Startled! Why suddenly, Ara?”
Ara was holding one paper in hand. And holding that paper fluttering she ran to me trotting.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! I want to have this!”
“...Did you see knowing what it is?”
I smirked and received the paper Ara brought. There also several items were written and among them Ara pointed one with her small hand.
“This!”
“This?”
Confirming what Ara pointed I momentarily oooh admiration naturally popped out.
[Riddle watering can (ordinary – growth type)]
Seems an item related to farming but until now the use not exactly revealed.
Item explanation – A watering can someone whose name not revealed used. Helps crop growth.
Item effect – If sprinkling water contained in the watering can for one day on the ground the ground becomes fertile. Besides that numerous hidden effects. Indication that unlocking possible through growth. Growth method not revealed.
Never thought there was even an item related to farming.
Exactly an artifact treated as equipment.
“Want to give water!”
“Never thought there would be something like this.”
When I spouted admiration people stealthily approached and peeked at the paper I was looking at. Then exchanged gazes among themselves and nodded.
What are you guys uniting among yourselves? Before even spouting the question Kang Hanul shouted.
“Seems chose! But a bit insufficient!”
“What’s that sound?”
At hyung Hanul’s shout Baek Taeseop and the secretary confirmed the item I chose.
“...Riddle watering can?”
Whether an unexpected item the two exchanged flustered gazes then soon looked at me.
“Really doing with this?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm...”
Why worrying? Rather should be happy choosing something with cheap value right?
‘Not? Rather suspect why chose something like this?’
Anyway among the items Iron Blood Guild presented the watering can was the most attracting artifact.
Plus growth type so much more expected. Probably I’m the only farmer awakener in this world, the premonition that only I can grow this watering can came.
“Chose a unique one. Certainly the value falls compared to other items...”
“Uahaha! I said! So let choose one more, old man.”
“...That doesn’t matter but why are you guy Kang Hanul meddling.”
Ultimately decided to choose one more item.
But since I wasn’t a force type awakener who explores dungeons or fights most items were useless.
“Hmm...”
When I couldn’t choose and worried hyung Yeongseong said to me.
“How about doing like this?”
“How?”
“Choose as the item Ara Hongryeon Guild wants and the way you lend that and receive money from the guild.”
Oh? A good method.
As it was I needed money so if like this isn’t it good for each other?
Of course there was the premise of Iron Blood Guild’s permission or Ara Hongryeon wanting an item.
“As long as not selling the item during the contract period no matter how using doesn’t matter.”
The secretary who heard hyung Yeongseong’s words answered lightly.
Soon looking at Han Seokjun with subtle eyes he entered discussion together with the team leaders.
“Not a bad opportunity. Was there equipment needed inside there by any chance?”
“I’m invincible no need for equipment power or anything, hyung! But if have to choose black and white hood, grass leaf flute shoes, sun’s crown, Vitriol’s shield, Geongon amulet, corrosion ring, equality longsword...”
“...”
When did you look at that.
Han Seokjun first stopped Kang Hanul who was listing item names endlessly. And sought opinion from Jeong Soyeon.
“1st team leader?”
“Hey, kid. Answer well.”
Kang Hanul pressured openly but Jeong Soyeon without twitching one expression said what she had seen.
“The most needed is indeed Vitriol’s shield.”
“My thought is the same.”
“No, hyung! I also said Vitriol’s shield is needed but my opinion...”
Han Seokjun who finished the story said to me.
“Mr. Gyuseong, we want to rent Vitriol’s shield.”
“Yes. Do so.”
“Rental fee 30 million won a month, and contract period 5 years how is it?”
30 million a month? Just one equipment?
5 years is 60 months. That means an 1.8 billion deal.
‘With 1.8 billion can’t just buy this equipment?’
When I casually looked at hyung Yeongseong he was nodding as if contract right now.
“Good. Let’s contract.”
“Related detailed contract matters can we proceed together when joining the guild contract?”
“Understood.”
Like that I received the watering can and Vitriol’s shield as collateral from Iron Blood Guild.
“Items will be delivered right tomorrow. Place as Ara Hongryeon Guild fine?”
“Yes, please.”
“Items related to slime also first look and contact again.”
“Thank you.”
When the confidentiality clause deal concluded Baek Taeseop asked with a questioning face.
“Might be rude but can I ask one?”
“Yes.”
“Chose a quite unique item by any chance related to ability?”
“Similar.”
Now okay to say?
Already Ara Hongryeon’s people seemed roughly guessing that I’m farming. So even choosing an item like a watering can they didn’t stop.
“Then now can we properly trade the fruit and vegetable juice?”
“Yes. Wait a moment.”
Besides the fruit and vegetable juice given to hyung Yeongseong there were 5 more. I immediately opened the backpack and said to Bokkeum staying quietly inside.
“Bokkeum, take out all fruit and vegetable juice.”
A small voice so others don’t hear but probably the gentlemen with good hearing all heard. Well, now no need to particularly hide so doesn’t matter. Rather appealing the ability is gain.
Ptooey-
Bokkeum spit out the fruit and vegetable juice.
Then Ara who saw me taking out the fruit and vegetable juice from the bag whined.
“Want to eat snack! Mattang~ Mattang~”
“Snack? Bokkeum take out the snack container too.”
Bokkeum spit out several snack containers again.
Thanks to stopping by home there was mattang and potatoes, tomatoes and pizza with Ambergrill, salad made with little carrots and cucumbers that Jaeseong and mother made.
‘Plus as dessert Leila.’
Hm? Seems the atmosphere changed somehow?
Casually looking back hyung Hanul and Jeong Soyeon were looking at me dripping saliva.
“Hup!”
Surprised without knowing I forcibly closed my mouth and killed the breathing sound. And casually brought out one word.
“A, after contract ends want to eat a bit?”
“Good!”
“Indeed Mr. Gyuseong!”
Guild master Han Seokjun and hyung Yeongseong also ate my crops but didn’t react that much. Anyway the feeling that those two particularly like my food.
Ara was already neatly eating pizza.
Before I knew it hyung Hanul who approached Ara was doing all sorts of aegyo to get even one bite. That appearance somehow pitiful.
“Smell good. Did you cook directly?”
“Cooking not me. Just I obtained the materials.”
Baek Taeseop casually showed interest.
The fruit and vegetable juice in my hand was fruit and vegetable juice but if smelling this smell couldn’t endure.
“After contract ends eat all together?”
Wondering just in case and recommending first Baek Taeseop waved his hand saying rude. But recommending again he raised his hand.
“Thank you, Mr. Gyuseong.”
“No. Later together...”
“Uuuuum!!!!”
Ultimately seemed obtained from Ara.
Kang Hanul’s strong moan(?) sound rang the reception room.
At the same time much thicker than I thought the food smell spread and saliva started gathering to the extent unable to endure.
“What on earth this... Don’t tell me those foods are also items?”
Iron Blood Guild’s secretary was forcibly swallowing saliva with a flustered gaze. Now seemed roughly guessed what my ability is.
“Right. By the way even Geumgangsan is after meal, want to try tasting first?”
“Umm... th, the deal first...”
Baek Taeseop was visibly restless.
His gaze before I knew it was stuck not on me but on Ara alternately eating pizza and mattang deliciously.
Hmm, if doing this well new customers might arise? That too possessing considerable influence.
I hid a wicked smile inside and stealthily recommended.
“The antidote won’t run away somewhere. First try eating that?”
