ACT 1 Magic Detection

-‘Sli process has been completed

-You have entered the 2nd stage crystallization process

Now that you have coether, you must make a decision This process requires the saood quality iron froredients will oxidize and the immortality pill will fail, but if the fire is too weak then the crystallization won’t be accomplished well

= Crystallization process, ti: 6 hours

‘Huck, 6 hours? Are they trying to kill me?’

He couldn’t resist his impatience to start the i! It was a situation where he was so tired that he could fly to Andromeda at any time Then he had to frantically shake the pot for 2 hours If hethat time then all his efforts would be undone He didn’t have a choice But after 2 hours, now he had to watch the pot and adjust the fire for 6 hours It was the er flared up and he feltthreatened

Nohen soaa? It was an irresponsible ethat didn’t consider the user’s health and would drive theue, there was no one that would listen Syste A few tiaret abandoning it and would continue to the extent they would get tired and die It started with thoughts like ‘It is simple to end this when I want’ or ‘I’ve met a like-minded party but I’ll do a little more’ However, when they had to spend a few hours at work they would start to feel nervous and would begin to play all night That was how they becaame

‘Who can I blame?”

He only had hierly…… But now that he started it, he had to see it through to the end!

“Okay, I’ to make the best immortality pill possible!”

Ark stared at the pot with bloodshot eyes

“Ugh, it increasingly turning red Terees……eh? Did I doze off for a o down? Increase by 10 degrees! damn, did I raise it too rees No, 3 degrees down”

If he had to move his body then he would rather hunt If he was careless for even a short in to sail to Andromeda Thanks to his sleepiness, his uish between a dream and reality But he had invested considerable time and money into this It wasn’t possible for him to fail just before the end He clenched his teeth and held on until a epopped up

-The 2nd stage crystallization process is finished

You have entered the 3rd stage maturation process

This is the final step in creating the Sli left is to let it h to draw out 100 of the effect froredient Make sure to seal it up coht and keep it in a cool, dry place

<handle with=”” care!=”” there=”” is=”” no=”” guarantee=”” of=”” what=”” will=”” happen=”” if=”” you=”” shake=”” it=”” or=”” it=”” receives=”” an=”” i: 64 hours

“I did it…………I’ paid!”

Now he didn’t have to stare at the pot any the information as as wonderful as if he had received a rare item Ark sealed the pot and quickly put it in his personal safe Then he ht hiifts could leave it in the open in the meantime

‘Now I have to organize the reo to sleep’

It was currently evening in New World and if he went to sleep then it was likely that all the stores would be closed when he connected again Becausein advance However when he visited the general store, the door was already shut

‘What’s going on? It normally isn’t closed this early……’

When he looked around he saw that the shtly open But his 30 discount in Lancel Village only applied for Galen at the general store In addition, since there was no specific profession then he would buy all the japtem

‘If I sell it to other stores then there would be a 50 silver difference’

Ark forced his eyes open and went to search for Galen Fortunately, he was able to quickly discover Galen However the at a serious talk with Hanson while sighing

“Galen ajusshi+”

“Ah, Ark!”

“What’s going on?”

“Well, that’s……”

Galen and Hanson hesitated Then Sarah grasped Ark’s hands and pointed On the outskirts of Lancel Village was a big field, where most of New World’s crops could only be harvested twice a yearLancel Village had become self-sufficient thanks to that field But the field crops that Sarah pointed to seemed to be in fairly bad condition, even from Ark’s inexperienced eyes

“Why are the crops so withered?”

“Because of all the residents that left, it looks like it has been neglected for too long Since the ement wasn’t proper, the harvest is in bad shape”

Galen sighed and replied

“I never even considered it When I accepted the 300 residents that you brought, the upcoh the food situation would get betterBut our crop isn’t good this year……I don’t knoe’re going to handle the upco hard winter”

In New World, users also had to eat to live If the satiety fell then they would receive various penalties and if it went down too low then the user would die It was the same for NPCs No, it would be an even more serious problem since this world is reality to the NPCs Then he heard a rough voice from one side

“Hey, this is my field!”

“What the? I’ve been planting here for ages nobody stopped me when I carried water to these fields”

“So it’s yours just because you put your hand on it?”

“How long do you think it has been in my family?”

“Hoould I know?”

“This bastard, do you think I would just give it to you?”

The farrabbed each other’s collars

“Guys, what is with this shas are difficult, shouldn’t we put aside our pride and help each other?”

Galen ran up to them and shouted in a pained voice

Just like any other village, the pioneers of Lancel Village also took ownershi+p of the fields However, the strong sense of coed to each other

They produced it together and used it together That was the way of Lancel Village However, it was difficult to avoid in an eency situation Since the situation was difficult, they only cared about their own greed and there were endless conflicts This was the reason that Galen had closed the general store and headed to the fields The only person who could rants settled here was the temporary chief Galen

“Is a handful of food so irab at each other’s necks? And shae in front of our benefactor Ark?”

“Benefactor?”

The farlared at Ark

“What benefactor……didn’t hea bandit group or so? It if wasn’t for theood harvest We’re the ones in this difficult situation because of him!”

“Hey What are you saying? Ark……!”

Galen jumped in surprise However, the far

“Anyway, our probleners”

‘What’s this?’

Bewilderment spread on Ark’s face at the farhest possible Therefore he couldn’t i such behaviour in front of Ark But while he was hunting the ingredients for ‘Slime’s Immortality Pill,’ he didn’t pay any attention to as happening in town so his reputation fell No, that was the second problee town hall with Galen

The food situation has reduced by 10Unity has also been reduced by 10

Commerce, industry and armament has also been reduced by 8

2 of the village residents have left because of a feud

Galen related the inforures related to village groere at the botto food, an essential condition for survival

‘Is this a usual problem?’

Ark weighed the severity of the problem His reputation wasn’t the problee If there was trouble with the village development than the real estatein real estate e becaain then it would be difficult to receive decent compensation for the <find new=”” settlers=””> quest that he worked so hard on Ark’s voice became desperate

“Is there any other ways?”

“We could buy food from somewhere else But since we’ve built a lot of houses these days and invested ood If our crop conditions don’t get better than this winter is going to be a lot harder”

Galen shook his head with a regretful face

“It’s also because 300 people suddenly showed up”

“We can’t assume it is the only reason……”

“What other reasons are there?”

“The biggest proble left alone for too long And there are also a lot of monsters around When there are a lot ofbecomes harder”

Ark had also seen the e

“Can we catch the monsters to eat?”

“Most of the us Mountains are poisonous If it isn’t cooked well then it could be life-threatening Would we rather be hungry or poisoned?”

“That’s a big deal”

“It isn’t possible I’ll ask you to consult with the Meow and hunt rabbit and venison for the ure out a way to procure it from Jackson Youharvest, in autumn we can prepare iron since the current price should rise……”

Galen sighed Ark also couldn’t stop sighing He was now in an inseparable relationshi+p with Lancel Village If the village was in a tough situation then Ark would also receive several disadvantages

‘Well, in this circuh price……’

When the food situation becomes even worse, then the town’s financial situation would become devastated However, the food situation was not Ark’s only problee was already 700 people He could hunt wild animals for its meat However, the food situation would only improve by 1

“If only there was Yggdrasil’s protection……”

Then he heard a voice sighing from the back When he turned around, one of the raccoon representatives was talking with a melancholy face

“Even if we didn’t have abundant light, we never had to worry about food at least My great father was indebted to Yggdrasil’s protection After I’ve experience the outside world, I realized again how io back to that place……”

The raccoon clan representatives that cae’s situation becaround World When he heard that even the raccoons wanted to leave the village, Galen’s face darkened even more However, Ark pricked up his ears

‘Yggdrasil!’

Yes, the patron of the Underground World! It was in accordance with the covenant where the raccoons keep the secret of the seal while their world was protected by Yggdrasil But what if such a presence existed in Lancel Village? That was the thought that flashed in Ark’s head

‘Popo is the seed of Yggdrasil When Popo is planted near Lancel Village then heis to believe it!’

So far he had delayed the <sacred soil=””> quest because of the Sliently solve the quest

‘But the residents are leaving The cause of all the proble the quest will solve that but for the moment I need to put out the sudden fire Yes, JusticeMan ajusshi+ and the NPCs at the camp should stay clear for a little bit’

Once Ark organized his japtem he went to visit JusticeMan

“………Well, I have actually been concerned about the situation for a while We’re trying to e don’t suffer any daht, for the o far away to hunt the hippos

Ark who had ress cut off the connection at once Since he had stayed awake for 36 hours, heavy fatigue hit as soon as he left the unit

Hyun-woo screalanced around for a while with a beutters, an old wardrobe, a 15 inch TV and a computer set His virtual reality unit was located in this roos It was Hyun-woo’s room which he paid rent for every hed and stood up

‘Phew, it was just a specific dream’

His clothes were soaked in sweat When he thought about it, it was a really scary dreary, he was forced to cry…… Since the age of 17, Hyun-woo dedicated his life to his ailing ry and poverty wasn’t a horrible thing No, not being able to provide for his hungry host or deh 36 hours of the ‘Sli about the bad situation of Lancel Village, it was no wonder that he had a night asleep It was only 4 ahto back to sleep He decided to leave for the gy down in front of the computer

“Should I take a look at today’s current prices before leaving?”

Hyun-woo connected to the auction site He consistently sold 2 items a week and had steadily made 15 million won That was 6 e, the auction site got 420,000 won a s rose quickly and the other day he becaes There was a 1 discount on the fee and information s about the various ite to deter price, as it listed the fluctuations in the price during the past month

-The auction has been completed Crystal Golem’s Head: 800,000 won

-The auction has been coth: 450,000

-The auction has been completed Heavy iron sword: 1,800,000 won

-The auction has been completed Deluxe repair box (4): 480,000 won…

‘Except for the Heavy Iron Sword, all the prices are similar’

Hyun-woo sighed after checking the auction results The average level of the users had risen by a lot The sale price for ite On the other hand, the price was increasing for items over level 70 It was the reason why the heavy iron sword, which sold for 1,300,000 won in the past was now sold for 1,800,000 wonBut recently Hyun-woo could not sell high level items No, if he looked at the items he obtained The unique “Gladiator’s Honour’ or the rare ring ‘Mind’s Eye’ for example……would be able to earn him several million won However, both those ite, it was coet stronger He couldn’t blindly sell it just to obtain money

‘When co all the items sold this month, isn’t the profit around 4,000,000 won?’

When he checked the ledger on his coic Restoration reaching the advanced level, he sold some of the deluxe repair boxes that he didn’t need as well as some of his potion collectionThere were a few items that weren’t sold at a reasonable price, but overall it wasn’t a bad profit

‘But it isn’t enough to pay the hospital bills’

Hyun-woo needed 5,210,000 won every e If there was a sudden unscheduled o over 6,000,000 won

Fortunately, there was a surplus in his bankbook thanks to the ‘Fire Slayer’ But if the next month was ordinary like this then it would become difficult

‘But now I have a full set of bracelets, rings, necklace and shoulder blades It would be possible to sell itehten the belt a little bit ”

Since his life was tight, he had to make money or die But no ht that it was unfair If it was 5 years ago, he probably wouldn’t have been able to last Since he didn’t knohen his mother would be released frohtless child of 5 years ago He had seenthes who didn’t have enough ht be cowardly, but Hyun-woo felt a sense of solace after watching them cry

‘I will endure it I now havebetter Now is not the time to sound weak!’

He didn’t know the importance of his father’s existence until he lost hi for his ah money for the hospital bills More……a little more…………he wanted his mother to be happy

‘To do that, I have to make money even more fiercely I can’t be short even ten thousand won’

He had everything he needed to achieve this Hyun-woo scoured the site with bloodshot eyes It was iame

‘There still isn’t a trading group for food ingredients’

In New World, it was rare for people to earnestly learn how to cook And because ingredients were sold in general stores, there was nobody like Ark anted unique ingredients Only ingredients like the Mandragora which could be used as a redient were rarely sold But he would rather save money and cook his own dishes

‘If there was no expiration date on cooking then I would be able to sell it……’

The only trouble was that it was a survival cooking dish Even if he needed expensive spices, the ingredient cost was cheaper than a potion with the same effect but because it was a food, there was an expiration date Of course, since it was an advanced dish then the expiration date was quite long, however since the dish could becoh the auction site in consideration, not old on it

‘I wonder if there are any ingredients that have a preservative effect?’

Hyun-woo clicked his tongue and searched all over the site His alarnalled that it was 430 am

Bang, bang, bang!

A boo out as thetechnique where an arround But he had already becoot up and blocked the opponent’s inco arm If he was the same as before, his opponent would’ve counterattacked ithened his lower body the opponent couldn’t easily use techniques against hiainst a National Championshi+p bronze medallist

“Ha, isn’t he doing quite well?”

“He’s not tackled so easily anymore”

“Is he really trying wrestling for the first time?”

The SWAT team -ryong snorted and muttered

“Bah, he should be able to do thisevery day”

“Hey, that’s different Would any thug by able to learn so quickly just by sparring under master every day?”

“In your oords He is able to face off against great athletes who have participated in the nationals”

“Shut up, what do you understand? Your standards are at a childish level Don’t you exercise? Would you like to be hit by a knife when you’re dispatched?”

“Sheesh, I won’t say anything else……”

After Lee Myung-ryong threatened them, the members immediately scattered

‘Certainly……’

Lee Myung-ryong stared at Hyun-woo To be honest, he secretly ad against opponents The fight would probably be over in 1 rowth of Hyun-as re and taekwondo, now he had to learn how to apply it to his whole body Boxing was not about hitting the opponent with only arth The action for a punch should naturally co and taekwondo as well If he didn’t take advantage of the whole body then the technique wouldn’t be used correctly

‘Even though he is foolish, he has noticed it……’

Even though martial arts could be understood with the e arave it into the body But Hyun-woo had learnt the trick after only one h Hyun-as useable since the first time they met, but it was really beyond expectations He played all day long and still ed it

‘Who knew that I had such a discerning eye for talent?’

But Lee Myung-ryong soon shook his head and smiled

‘I’e’

Then as?

‘Isn’t the answer obvious?’

Besides eating and sleeping, Hyun-woo spent all his tiame Thus, his skills seeyame……he didn’t knohat it was, but the secret would be there

‘The ated after he started the gaame?’

While Lee Myung-ryong was thinking, the third round of the wrestlingexercises and Hyun-woo sparring in taekwondo

“Teacher, I’ll stop now”

“Sure But asn’t your steps natural today? Is there so?”

“Just a little bit……I’ood condition today”

“A young guy should have better condition…take more care”

“Yes”
