Chapter 67: Finally a Tutorial (9)

Huht and adjust to their changing environed Liber was extremely different from Earth To survive in this place, a person had to have superb physical abilities Of course, having good physical abilities didn’t guarantee one’s survival, but it did increase their chances Thus, Chi-Woo ran and ran again A desperate desire to survive was one of the h he felt like he was dying every day, he continued to run two tione this far back on Earth

Phrases like ‘The more I sweat today, the less blood I will flow at the battlefield’ used to make him snort, but it was different on Liber, where the phrase simply described the reality To survive here, he needed to kno to fight, and to fight well, his body had to act as a reliable foundation In other words, he needed to strengthen his body to live

With this belief inbody outside every day And when his willpower ran low, he took off his clothes and looked at the lumps of fat attached to parts of his body Chi-Woo was over 80 kilograht was 180cm, he wouldn’t be considered fat, but he wasn’t thin, either And this was in Earth terht After looking at his own body, Chi-Woo recalled what Ru Amuh and Allen Leonard’s bodies looked like; even areas that were difficult to train were covered in lean, coed at his lips as he coly, his willpower becaain

‘I have to live,’ Chi-Woo repeated to hiain

After his afternoon run, Chi-Woo collapsed onto the ground He sier set a specific nu In fact, he had stopped counting how ether He simply worked hard to keep up a constant pace and ran until he was exhausted There were times when he almost tripped and fell, but in those instances, he would question if his body truly was collapsing because he couldn’t run any to himself Unlike his head, his body was always honest

‘I can’t do this anyht the brain ot up and started running again

“Huff! Huff!” Then, before he even ain Once more, he questioned himself if he had fallen because he was sith Chi-Woo decided to just ask his body to get up again, but he ended up twisting his feet and falling before he could even run 5 more meters this time After he experienced first hand that he didn’t even have the strength to get up, he becath

“Haa…Haa…” Soaked in sweat, Chi-Woo lay doith his arht sky

‘I’’ Chi-Woo suddenly recalled a celebrity he saw on a tv program before The celebrity said that he was addicted to exercising, and even when his company and doctors told hi

‘How is that possible?’ It seemed unbelievable that anyone could becoht someone like that couldn’t exist unless they were a seriousabout himself that had i, Chi-Woo went to sleep the instant he returned hoed into new clothes before going to bed It was proof that he was starting to get used to his daily routine He was now starting to feel refreshed after finishi+ng his run and washi+ng up, and he often returned hoer his way there whilein pain

On his way back home today, he visited the square and ate dinner as usual While he was returning his plate, he saw a fa with several natives Feeling Chi-Woo’s stare, Eshnunna turned toutensils and walked up to her after a moment of deliberation Eshnunna looked too serious for hi on?”

“…It’s nothing”

“It certainly doesn’t look like nothing is going on”

“I see that you still love to play ords” Eshnunna sighed She see, but in the end, she told hi?”

“We’ve started to farm since ere asked to do it, but…”

As soon as they arrived at the fortress, Zelit prioritized establishi+ng their own agriculture system in order to become self-sufficient in food Since they didn’t have any livestock, the only thing they could do was to grow crops by using the land around them Thus, Zelit had requested the natives’ cooperation in this reement at this explanation The problem of food supply hadn’t been solved once and for all Eshnunna had found a lot of food, but the supply was decreasing day by day They could go search for then the time they had rather than solve the fundamental probleure out a solution, which was to produce their own food

“What’s the problem?” Chi-Woo asked

“It’s ied native answered in place of Eshnunna

“Really? Even when there’s a river nearby?” Chi-Woo knew that civilizations often prospered near bodies of water He tilted his head in confusion

“Just because there’s a river nearby, it doesn’t mean we can far arethem, the most important condition is the fertility of the soil”

It was sirow crops on the land, the soil had to be fertile with the right nutritional balance The more fertile the soil was, the more produce they could expect

“But on this land, there’s no e can do that…” Crumbs of dried-up dirt scattered away from the native’s hand Only then did Chi-Woo remember the area around the fortress was a barren wilderness, and the reen leaf in sight

“There’s a way that we can change the soil by using the river’s water, but we don’t kno long it will take for the soil to beco…”

They didn’t have , they had about one month left It was impossible for them to farm and produce crops within that time frame

“Do you have any ideas?” Eshnunna asked Chi-Woo like she was trying to grasp onto the last straw Chi-Woo thought deeply, but nothing cae was very li them that he would try to find a solution, he turned to leave

Chi-Woo didn’t return to his house iot to cool down his body after exercising, and decided to walk around the fortress to do so As he walked, he thought about the probleoing on, Zelit had asked the natives for a solution, but it was such an essential issue that everyone should be thinking about it in addition to the natives

‘I don’t want to starve again’ Since Chi-Woo had almost reached the point of starvation before, he wondered if there was anything he could do to help He wasn’t sure how long he had been walking before soure holding a familiar object Dressed in white shi+rt and red skirt, a silver-haired girl eeping the floor with a long broom at the oval entrance of a stone structure—it was Shahnaz Hawa

‘I wonder what this place is?’ Chi-Woo looked around in confusion and let out a small exclamation when he saw the statue behind Hawa It was more of a temporary shrine than a fully built te

“Ah, it’s been a while” Now that he thought about it, it was the first time he saw her since they left the main camp “hello?” It had really been a while, so Chi-Woo aardly smiled and waved

Hawa closed her eyes and pushed her hair back before lowering her head slightly to greet hihtly clutched the broo into him

“Uh…Have you been well?”

She didn’t say a single word

‘Why is she acting like this again?’ Chi-Woo thought before going straight to the point, “Is there anything you would like to tell ”

“?”

“But not anymore”

Her voice sounded empty and dull

“Then thatto tell me before”

“Yes,” Hawa immediately replied

“It’s late, but as it? I’m curious now”

“Just” Hawa paused and continued, “I was curious why you saved the Salem Princess’ life” Her words were co how not even a trace of e here, I realized that she was necessary for the future”

This was true Eshnunna was needed for finding food and guiding them to different destinations Even after they arrived at the fortress, Eshnunna had been in charge of many tasks While her responsibilities were all important, they involved ordinary day-to-day activities, so it was easy to overlook thehed Despite the monotone, Haords sounded a little hostile He decided to ask just in case, “I’, but is your relationshi+p with Ms Eshnunna bad?”

“No”

“Then?”

“Bad doesn’t begin to describe our relationshi+p; we’re closer to being enemies”

Chi-Woo’s eyes widened in surprise “Why?”

“Nothing unusual,” Hawa said indifferently, “Saleenerations”

Chi-Woo gaped; he could now understand the source of her ani war between the Saledom and the Shahnaz tribe on Liber Moreover, since Eshnunna was the princess of the kingdom, and Hawa the tribe’s heir, it was understandable that their relationshi+p would be particularly strained

“You don’t have to worry,” Hawa noticed Chi-Woo’s expression and said less in a situation like this”
