Chapters Chapter 79. Finding a ‘super item’ (1/2)

‘Dear god…’

Looking at Adrian’s behavior, Kang Chul-In was absolutely startled.

The reason was simple.

In Adrian’s hands was a plant that looked peculiar in shape, almost like seaweed. And using this plant, Adrian was rubbing his bald head crazily.

“Adrian.”

“C’mon… grow… Huh?”

Unaware of the fact that Kang Chul-In hadn’t left, Adrian was startled.

“Oh milord, you still haven’t left?”

“That thing in your hands.”

“What is it, and why are you rubbing your head with it.”

“This? Well, it’s nothing special.”

“Nothing special?”

“Well, this is weed called the ‘hair growth weed’, and it is actually very beneficial for people with hair loss…”

“Is that so? Well, does your hair grow if you rub your head with it?”

“Yes, sire.”

“Hmm… show me the effects, try it on yourself.”

“Eh? Milord… to show my pitiful self…”

“It’s fine, go on.”

“T-Then…”

“Just start.”

Although it was a little bit embarrassing for him, Adrian bowed his head 90 degrees towards Kang Chul-In, show his bald scalp.

‘This is it!’

Staring at the unexpected commodity, no, super item that he had just found, the tip of Kang Chul-In’s mouth wriggled, struggling not to smile. After all, he still had to maintain the dignity of being a Lord.

“M-Milord? Do I keep…”

“Yes, just for a little bit longer, let me see.”

Answering like this, Kang Chul-In looked cautiously and meticulously at Adrian’s hair. And looking at it, his expectations weren’t let down.

‘It’s growing!’

Although it wasn’t immediate, the hair was growing, at rates approximately around 0.05cm per minute.

‘To think that the main source of income for those damned Gulveig bastards was just a stupid type of plant. Unbelievable.’

“Adrian.”

“Yes?”

“This weed, where did you find it?”

“There is a cave in the Dragonia Mountain Range, and in that cave, there are a lot of these plants.”

“Where is that? Take me there immediately.”

“Yes, milord.”

Although Adrian had no idea why Kang Chul-In wanted to go there, he did as he was ordered.

Heading to the Dragonia Mountains, Kang Chul-In’s thoughts were quite complicated.

These grotesque looking weeds were the geese that laid the golden eggs, and they were the reason behind the revolution to start a new era.

Of course, depending on the person this might seem quite absurd, but truthfully, it wasn’t so.

Although there was medicine to try and stop the process from occurring, there was no true ‘medicine’ to stop it, and actually grow one’s hair back.

For example…

France’s soccer star ‘Zinedine Zidane’ and the basketball superstar ‘Michael Jordan’, Hollywood’s ‘Bruce Willis’ etc. Even people like this who had worldwide fame and money could not escape the fate of being bald.

Was this on purpose?

Did they not care about their hair?

...As if.

If a medicine to cure hair loss was truly invented, it would allow someone to not just earn a bunch of money, but even swim in a massive ocean full of money.

Weapons to blow up whole buildings?

Items that could summon the dead?

…These things were not needed on Earth.

What was needed on earth were items that could change a person’s lifestyle and how they lived.

This would be the greatest invention since the smartphone had first been introduced.

“Adrian. How exactly did you find out about the existence of this grass?”

Maybe it was due to ‘superior’ genetics, but it was difficult to find someone that was bald in Pangaea.

And if they were bald, they didn’t treat it as something to be embarrassed about, and instead embraced it. And for this very reason, it was very rare that a Pangaean would know about this weed.

“Well, ever since I got bald, there wasn’t anyone even teasing me about it, but I wondered if I would live the rest of the days out as a bald person. And one day, when I went to the caves to take some herbs, I coincidentally found them. And that cave is the very one where I am taking milord currently.”

‘They say that the greatest discoveries are often unintentional.’

“We’re here, milord.”

After an hour or so, Kang Chul-In arrived at the cave that Adrian was talking about.

And growing there… were the weeds that would make Kang Chul-In truly rich.

But the sight truly wasn’t very pleasing.

The weeds were like seaweed, and the sight of them wriggling about the cave wasn’t a beautiful sight.

But did that really matter?

The important thing was that these almost disgusting looking plants were the ‘medicine’ that almost 14% of the entire world’s population were in desperate need for.

Looking at these weeds, Kang Chul-In thought of the way to mass produce them. If the Gulveig Alliance of the past had achieved it, then so could he.

“Adrian. From henceforth, I shall promote you as the Laputa territory’s Chief of Animal Handling, and I will also give you and your family ranks as noblemen.”
