Chapter 74

A few days have passed since I became a certified hunter.

Finally, the potion making golem, the core of the ‘potion mass production system’, is 100% complete. Of course, it is an upgraded version with the ability to cope with variables added.

Now, just give the command and the golem will turn on the pot, enchant the ingredients, stir with a ladle to make potions, and steer clear of the final packaging.

When the golem completes the preparation work, Ea floats the finished potion and puts it in the warehouse on the first floor.

And early in the morning, Jinbora goes to our ‘dummy factory’ at the research foundation site and takes out the completed potions through the subspace. And filling the empty space with the delivered potion material.

After that, the transport company comes to the factory to pick up the finished potion and move it to the store on Hunter Street.

All procedures were perfect. After several trials, we finally opened the first Alchemia store on Hunter Street.

First of all, there is only one item for sale, a low-grade red elixir.

Although it is a potion with the lowest recovery rate among the Elixir, there was no problem in recovering temporary license players or players with relatively low stamina.

The market reaction to the appearance of the potion was, of course, explosive.

Jinbora stopped by the store and showed the situation through a video call, and there was a long line in front of the store.

All of them were players who came to buy our potions. Since the quantity is limited, the potion is limited to 5 bottles per person at maximum.

“Ugh! Senior! Are we going to get rich now?!”

Jin-Woo, who was filming the video, was moved by emotion, and it was a fuss.

Thanks to the advantage of being able to heal quickly on the spot even if injured, the potions were sold like wings. There is also the association’s research foundation certification mark, so reliability has been secured.

There was even a stable income from hunting grounds in Paju.

‘With this, the tower is now in perfect stability.’

With that in mind, I flopped down on my desk.

This is the great study on the second floor of the tower.

Books were piled up like a tower around them. These are all records of Erendel’s calamity.

‘Ugh, I’m tired.’

I rubbed my eyes and fumbled through the book.

After experiencing this labyrinth dungeon situation, I became alert. After all, the country I live in really almost collapsed. I can’t hold my hand any longer I felt the need to thoroughly investigate the catastrophes to come.

So Jinbo-ra and Eunsol focused on the potion part, and me, EA, and Jeong Jeong-jin were spending most of their time collecting information about ordeals on the second floor these days.

‘I’m going to die of sleepiness.’

At that moment, while yawning, bright lights gathered in the air and Ea appeared.

“Topju. I brought you something to drink.”

As the best AI assistant in the history of mankind, I immediately caught the thought that I was tired and showed up with a drink on a tray.

There is only one thing I regret.

“I hate sesame leaf soup now!”

that I can’t cook.

EA said with a serious expression on her face.

“Cheongjeong. It’s not a sesame leaf soup, it’s a sesame leaf mojito. I demand that you immediately withdraw your remarks.”

“That or that!”

“I heard that a husband who complains about side dishes feels divorced.”

“Is that the same as this one! Are you really planning to poison me?”

EA said with a soft smile.

“It’s absurd to be poisoned. The scribe used to drink it well.”

… … It’s just because of the power of love.



Jeong Jeong-jin This kid, he keeps making it because the wind blows it because it’s delicious.

“That poison. If it’s okay with you, I’ll drink it.”

It was said that the tiger would come when I said it, and Jeong Seo-jin suddenly appeared, holding Ea’s sesame leaf mojito glass in her hand and said,

“If it’s such a sweet poison, you won’t have time to drink and die.”

The guy who uttered lines that seemed to be destroyed because her hands and feet were trembling, poured the perilla leaf mojito into his mouth.

Whoops.

Seeing that guy do one-shot, the taste of sesame leaves reminds me of that, and my stomach churns even more.

“Clerk. How did this drink taste?”

In response to EA’s question, Jeong Seo-jin grabbed her glasses and said.

“It tasted lovely.”

I wish someone would shut his mouth.

“Come to think of it, Mr. Ea. Did you see today’s Chanmyun’s Instagram? This post was also very sleepy.”

“Yes. As expected, Captain Chan-myeon Kim thinks that when he smiles, his cheeks go deep into his cheeks as a virtue factor.”

“This time, Jinwoo and I took a poster for kids’ sunscreen, and the urge to buy is crazy.”

“I wanted one too. Homunculus doesn’t need sunscreen.”

… … I don’t know if this is a horse tower or a girls’ high school.

They were two people who freely exchanged words used in fan cafes everywhere.

“Seo Jin-ah.”

“Yeah.”

“Are you also interested in Exio?”

Jeong Seo-jin raised her glasses and answered.

“Because Exio is a basic cultural commonsense.”

This guy is finally gone.

“Ha, okay. What about the records of the disaster?”

“The general content is almost done. But.”

“but?”

“I have something to report to you. Well, it would be quicker to show you this.”

We followed Jeongseojin up the stairs of the Daeseojae. The higher you climbed, the older the old books appeared.

While I was engrossed in the books, Jeong Seo-jin, who was walking in front of me, stopped and said.

“I think.”

Here, small rooms were arranged at regular intervals. Of course, the door was firmly closed, and a magic circle was drawn in the center of the door.


“Ah, this is what you said before…”

“Yes. A place where the most secret books are kept in the great library. It’s a sealed study. I wanted to show you this since you were on the second floor.”

In the main study, there were a total of five rooms with such locks.

And the magic circle’s lock consists of a password puzzle. A sanctuary that neither the homunculus nor the second floor manager can touch.

Due to the structure of the special alloy horse tower, it was impossible to break through the door, and he had to solve the puzzle of that magic circle unconditionally.

There were chairs and piles of books strewn around as if Jeong Jeong-jin had already tried to release it.

“Just like the top lord is challenging the ordeal of the next floor, I think of this as a ‘trial’ for the second floor manager. In fact, solving the puzzles made my stats go up quite a bit.”

At that, I tilted my head.

“Ability goes up? Like catching monsters?”

“Of course. Topju.”

EA answered instead.

“All managers grow by doing their jobs in the Magic Tower. It’s the same reason that the stats rise quickly when the master researches magic on the 9th floor or a potion maker prepares a potion.”

no wonder. These days, I thought that Jinbo’s magic ability has improved a lot.

“To repeat the explanation, puzzles are designed to be solved by reading all the books in a specific field. It’s like testing the knowledge and information content of the second floor manager.”

“It’s difficult. It takes a long time to read all the books in one field…”

“Once I read almost all the books required by the puzzle.”

I looked at Jeong Jeong-jin with the eyes of seeing even a ghost.

“While you are working outside, you are reading a book…”

“Thanks to the information processing characteristics, it is possible to read quickly. After work, I come to the tower and read from time to time.”

You’re probably the only one who uses your iron man powers for sleepless purposes.

“You still can’t solve that?”

“Yes. I thought the amount of reading was enough, but there were parts that couldn’t be solved.”

“I’ll take a look.”

If you think that the key to unlocking the secrets of this world lies within, you cannot give up. I bowed my back and looked at the puzzle that Jeong Seo-jin was solving.

It was a system to find a certain rule and arrange the six-character letters.

“Still, the intensity has gone quite a bit?”

“I found the answer to some extent by the arrangement of the sentences.”

Jeong Seo-jin opened the notebook and showed the part he had solved.

“This is the first answer I came up with. If you read it aloud, it’s ‘Exigo Nahata’. I don’t know what this means…”

I opened my eyes.

“white night.”

“Yeah?”

“It means midnight. The sun does not set even at night.”

“How do you…”

“I saw this in the labyrinth dungeon. This is the language of the monsters that made up the dungeon.”

Jeong Seo-jin jumped up from his seat.

“Then read this book too!”

We unraveled the hints one by one. When Jeong Seo-jin made a point, EA brought the book and I interpreted it.

Excited by getting an answer from an unexpected place, Jeong Seo-jin took out a pen and notebook and started writing like crazy.

so time passed

“Solved. Six letters from the first letter of each sentence. If you change this to Erendel…”

Jeong Seo-jin typed ‘the secret outside the door’ in Erendel. OK.

Cuckoo!

The door really opened.

We cheered and high-fived.

“Come in.”

“okay.”

Hopefully the language of the dungeon will be the solution. I entered the room with a strange tension.

It certainly felt like a place where dangerous books were kept. The book was placed on a special effect magic circle shelf, not on a bookshelf.

I walked in front of the most dangerous-looking book in the middle. Crackling sparks flew out of the magic circle.

“If you just touch this, wouldn’t an electric current flow?”

“It’s fine. Top master.”

Gathered up by Ea’s words, I reached out to the book. Fortunately, with permission, I was able to pass an electric current through the book and touch the book without any special problems. I pulled out the book and looked at the title.

– Records of destruction.

“Oh oh…”

It’s a big deal right from the start. Even if the book here is different, is it something different?

I flipped through the bookshelf and scanned it.

“uh……?”

This book was a record of only one disaster.

Jeong Seo-jin, who quickly ran to the side, read aloud the part where I stopped reading.

“An estimated 11th rank irregular boss monster ‘Nemesis’.”

“…Rank 11, I’ve never heard of it.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Monsters are divided into ranks 1 to 9 according to the amount of magical power they possess.

There is no significant difference in power between rank 1 and rank 4 monsters, and regular licensed players can face them.

From rank 5, the monster’s rank changes drastically, but from rank 5, hunting permission is reduced.

Rank 6 is official level 4.

Rank 7 is official level 3.

Rank 8 is official 2nd grade.

At Rank 9, hunting permits fall to certified 1st graders.



But what about rank 11?

Who the hell is going to catch this?

Jeong Seo-jin, who was reading a book, swept her forehead.

“When something like this comes down to Earth, it won’t end with the sinking of a few continents.”

This catastrophe was truly destruction.

In the 11th rank irregular Nemesis, the ‘Tower of Destruction’ that creates monsters is a disaster that constantly falls to the earth.

It seems that Erendel was destroyed by this disaster.

Although the exact time has not been revealed, there is a high possibility that a catastrophe will occur on Earth as it is seen that Erendel’s disaster is reproduced on Earth by OverLay’s law.

U.S.

No, can humanity prevent this catastrophe?

“How much time is left until Nemesis?”

“I was going to look into that from now on, but it will happen in at least 10 years.”

I discovered a huge secret.

I turned the book over to Jeong Jeong-jin and looked at Ea and said,

“We need to change our policy a bit.”

“Tell me, Top Master.”

“The schedule to reveal the tower to the public has been accelerated. And we will share information about the future disaster with each country.”

If this continues, the Earth will be destroyed within 10 years, and in order to survive, its fate must be changed.

Those who know are responsible.

Someone has to do it.

‘Yes, someone.’

His right eye throbbed. I pressed the sage’s eyes tightly with the palm of my hand.

“By the way, Top Lord.”

“……Why?”

“How do you plan to share disaster information with each country?”

After thinking for a while, I smiled and said.

“Why don’t you make another character?”

“Yeah?”

“Something like potion powers. This time, um… Shall we do it like a prophet?”

Jeong Jeong-jin and EA looked at each other with puzzled eyes.
