Chapter 7

“Hoo.”

Finally the time had come.

Having stayed up all night again due to excitement, I was fine even though I hadn’t slept for two days.

Rather it was brighter than ever, probably excessive adrenaline secretion.

“While others were all growing I fell behind for 3 years.”

A situation where I couldn’t help but be excited.

Those who became awakeners around the same time were all being scouted by guilds and rising while only I continued a shabby life in a place like this.

But that was over now.

“...Done.”

The reuse waiting time of liquid synthesis had ended.

At the same time I held the prepared carrot juice and tomato juice in my hands.

There was no need to worry.

I immediately used the ability.

[Liquid (tomato) and liquid (carrot) will be synthesized.]

[Ambiguous fruit and vegetable juice imbued with mana has been completed.]

“Ooooh!”

Fruit and vegetable juice imbued with mana!

Finally it came out!

Even as my body trembled from excitement I checked the completed fruit and vegetable juice.

[Ambiguous fruit and vegetable juice imbued with mana LV.1]

Materials: tomato, carrot

Because there aren’t many materials it shows ambiguous completeness.

Upon intake, for 3 seconds some information of monsters that entered the field of vision can be confirmed according to the amount of mana possessed.

Upon intake, for 3 seconds detoxification can be done according to the amount of mana possessed.

The effect had changed.

Vision rise and poison resistance disappeared and instead abilities that seemed highly usable took their place.

“Not bad?”

In the point that I could use the ability to confirm monster information even if only for 3 seconds, it was a fairly competitive product.

Even the fruit and vegetable juice expressed as ambiguous is like this, what effect would a perfect fruit and vegetable juice show?

“Quest complete... right?”

The item name ambiguous fruit and vegetable juice was a bit annoying but fortunately the quest accepted it.

[Quest Complete]

[The level of ability ‘Liquid Synthesis’ rises.]

[Liquid Synthesis LV.2]

Ability use count 1 -> 2

No, it leveled up?

I never dreamed the ability would level up on only the 3rd quest. Of course when people level up is all different but I felt it was a bit early.

“No, no. I cleared it in 3 years so it’s not that I cleared it quickly.”

Anyway it felt like the system was also acknowledging that it was that hard a quest.

By the way the use count increasing to 2 was a really big change. Since it increased by a full 2 times, it meant I could use one on slimes and another on potion synthesis.

‘I could all-in on slimes without dividing.’

And since I succeeded the quest, now it was time to check the 4th quest.

[Awakening Quest: Offer a Tribute]

Collect and submit the presented items.

Self-harvested dungeon fruit: 0/10

Self-harvested crops imbued with mana LV.2: 0/50

As expected the 4th is more than the 3rd.

My head hurt at the clearly risen difficulty.

‘My crops are all still LV.1. How can I raise the level?’

For now the first method is growing the slimes.

If I synthesize slimes and make high level slimes, wouldn’t the level of the crops also rise?

The second is making seeds from the crops I harvested and planting them. Ordinary carrot seeds became items, so if I plant already item carrots as seeds wouldn’t they level up?

“I can try both.”

Before executing that hypothesis, since the Slime Lord’s cooldown had also come around just then I immediately summoned a new recruit.

Pop!

Now a total of 4 slimes.

And isn’t it about time one falls from the sky?

“Well that’s that and it means I can use the ability one more time.”

The reuse waiting time had already come around.

But seeing 1 displayed in the remaining use count I smiled in satisfaction.

“...Don’t tell me it fills by 1 every 24 hours?”

I became a bit anxious but for now continued thinking.

Right now I had two choices of combining Mark Two and Dokdok, or combining two new recruits to make LV.2.

But what made me cautious here was that if I combined Mark Two and Dokdok I didn’t know what would happen to the abilities they had.

‘Dokdok doesn’t matter but I can’t leave out Mark Two’s farming ability.’

Then for now I decided to make a new LV.2 first and the next day combine that new guy with Dokdok.

Plop!

“Oh! New recruit welcome.”

Just then a free slime fell from the ceiling.

Now it was almost certain that the dungeon produces one slime a day.

“Then, shall I try synthesizing in commemoration of a new family member coming in?”

Wriggle?

While the newly arrived guys made gestures of not knowing what was going on, I immediately tried synthesis.

[Slime LV.2 has been completed.]

What ability does this guy have?

[Slime LV.2]

It is an ordinary? slime.

‘Liquid Synthesis possible’

Ability: Physical Resistance LV.1

Physical resistance.

Not bad but if level 1 it was so-so.

[Physical Resistance LV.1]

Absorbs 10% of physical impact.

As expected an ambiguous ability.

An ability perfect for a tanker but since the level was low an ability that didn’t seem particularly helpful.

“You’re combining with Dokdok tomorrow.”

Wriggle!

Watching the guys undulating as if good, I became curious what happens to the ability when combined. Does it disappear, or is it inherited.

Maybe a completely different ability?

‘...Let’s not think deeply.’

Results come out when you combine.

I’ll know soon.

Like that the slimes became a total of four.

3 LV.2, one 1.

The change that happened in just 3 days was even more surprising.

And this wasn’t the end.

“Since I completed the quest shall I do it properly?”

I installed the ladder I brought in the hole going underground. And took Mark Two who was working hard and the remaining slimes down too.

“Here, this is also a field now. Use all of it as a field.”

Wriggle! Undulate!

It meant I had to work like crazy now, but these guys were dancing not knowing what was so good.

Like that I started from the work of turning over the land in earnest and dividing sections.

“Unexpectedly easy.”

Actually before starting I wondered how long it would take to make all this wide land into a field, but when I actually worked with the slimes it ended quickly.

The slimes were farmer constitution by nature separate from the abilities they had.

“Strawberries, eggplants, cucumbers, carrots I bought again, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Ambergrill.”

For now I decided to plant everything I brought.

Anyway since the slimes manage on their own there was nothing difficult.

‘Mark Two had leeway even while managing a 100 pyeong field. Then entrust the 100 pyeong one to the new recruit and entrust here to the LV.2 slimes.’

With the seeds I brought I couldn’t fill 1,000 pyeong.

Actually I didn’t even know the proper pyeong properly, it was a size that came out by rough estimation comparing to the 100 pyeong vegetable garden.

Like that I separated into a total of 10 sections of 100 pyeong each, and decided to plant the 7 types of seeds I brought and the seeds of tomatoes imbued with mana, and the mana carrots I pulled in each section to obtain seeds again.

“Even so a total of 9 types. One section is left.”

Since the assigned sections weren’t all filled either there was a lot of idle land. It felt like I became an unexpected land rich person.

Wriggle- Wriggle-

Whether they were farmers by birth the guys did things I would have made mistakes on in one go.

Of course I wasn’t completely unnecessary so as I did my work little by little while working, before I knew it I could sow all the seeds.

“Good work. Let’s eat.”

Undulate!

Since by weight the tomato harvest amount was much more than carrots we could fill our stomachs without shortage.

And not long after I saw cherry tomatoes with flower buds forming again.

“Is it possible to harvest once a day?”

I don’t know how many times is possible but if I can harvest once a day at least the slimes’ food problem was somewhat resolved.

Crunch crunch!

Watching the appearances of them eating the cherry tomatoes solidly I became pleased without knowing.

“Umm, I want to give some to the family too.”

Watching them eat deliciously of course the family came to mind first. Hyung Yeongseong who helped me too.

If there’s something delicious isn’t it family that you want to share and eat. I roughly calculated the slimes’ food and packed cherry tomatoes one by one.

There were 5 carrots left after making fruit and vegetable juice so I made a plan to give 4 to the family and one to hyung Yeongseong.

“I have to go right away.”

I wanted to see the reaction after eating quickly.

That’s why I immediately went out.

“Watch the field well!”

Undulate!

* * *

The owner of ‘Awakener General Store’ Choi Yeongseong was suffering a headache due to a suddenly barged in customer, no guest.

“Hey, Choi Yeongseong! Do you think I won’t find out if you hide it like that!”

“Stop the nonsense and go back.”

And of all things that guest was a person he couldn’t act carelessly toward.

Republic of Korea’s top 5 guild Ara Hongryeon.

Even within it the 2nd team leader, that is an awakener within the top five fingers of the guild ranking was the Kang Hanul before his eyes.

“No don’t be like that and let me have a drink, call that friend? Did I do something to him? Are you disappointed in Choi Yeongseong?”

“What friend. It’s a person I don’t even know. A customer who stopped by briefly!”

“Hey, Choi Yeongseong! Do I look that easy? Uahaha! I can grasp your lies in an instant! How long do you think the time we’ve known each other is?”

Into the shop interior that was bickering like that someone entered.

Ding-

“Hyung Yeongseong, I’m here again! Oh? There was a customer?”

“Uh, uh... you.”

Choi Yeongseong muttered with a flustered face then soon made a poker face. But those appearances were already after being captured in Kang Hanul’s gaze.

“Oh, don’t tell me that side is...?”

“Yes?”

Gyuseong looked at the counterpart who suddenly acted familiar then soon was surprised.

“P, Predator Kang Hanul?!”

“Uahaha! This friend is right? Right?”

“Yes? What do you mean...”

Thump!

Suddenly approached Kang Hanul put his arm around his shoulder friendly. Due to the huge build like a tiger the ordinary build Lee Gyuseong looked small.

“Carrot!”

“Carrot? Ah!”

At the word carrot Gyuseong casually checked his bag. Then Kang Hanul who noticed with beast-like instinct smiled brightly.

“Don’t tell me you brought it again, friend!”

“Yes? Yes, I have it but...”

“Good! Today I’m treating! Hey, Choi Yeongseong. Close the shop door and come out!”

“No, Mr. Kang Hanul? How did this...”

“I’ll tell you when we go so for now let’s go! Uahaha!”
