Chapter 118
3.
After 30 minutes, the sprout became a stem, and after an hour, it became a small seedling.
“and. What is it that grows so fast? The land here looks really nice.”
“… … .”
That’s why there was no news from the experimental site where several seeds were grown nearby.
“I guess there are some seeds that only grow here.”
While I was looking around, many researchers heard the news and came to visit.
“This is 60 minutes of growth? Nonsense. This is a revolution.”
“It’s scientifically impossible… … .”
“I want to write an experimental paper.”
“Can I collect the ingredients and study them?”
Scientists turned on the lights in their eyes and rushed.
But I couldn’t get any closer.
“Not yet. Don’t come.”
Even if I didn’t pay much attention to it, [Seed of Plague] is an S-class item.
If I had something to write about, I think something pretty good would come out.
I didn’t leave my seat on what seemed like a tree growing quickly, and I solved my meal with a lunch box.
“I think it will all grow in about an hour or so.”
Botanists who had been called for other things were caught up in groups and reported on the progress.
Of course, the criterion of full growth is not accurate since it is a first-time plant, but it was speculated that it would finish growing soon as it reached its size in less than 2 hours based on normal adult seedlings.
But the guess is wrong.
The tree continued to grow.
It went up without knowing how high it was in the sky, and as time passed, it grew faster and thicker.
It was amazing.
What used to be a slender sapling has now grown into a tree thick enough to cover the waist even with 10 people gathering, creating shade.
The leaves on the dense branches were a dull color closer to death than green, and they were so lifeless that it would not be strange if they fell at any time.
In fact, after about 5 minutes, the leaves started to fall.
I wonder if it’s been like 4 hours.
“uh?”
In the middle of the tree, the fruit has grown.
“Is that a fruit?”
“I don’t think it’s a fruit.”
No, it was strange to be a fruit.
It was more like an egg than a fruit hanging from a tree branch.
“… … Why is Al over there?”
It is the first time I have heard the saying that an egg runs on a tree.
A giant egg half the size of a human.
Everyone was surprised, but instinctively realized.
“That’s your reward.”
The [Seed of Plague] is for that egg.
After waiting a little longer, the egg fell off.
“and.”
exactly 6 hours.
My impression of seeing the tree grow, lay eggs, and fall without doing anything was simple.
“Since I live, I go through all sorts of extraordinary things.”
When will I ever experience something like this again?
No one will believe the story that eggs grow in trees.
Even most of the scientists filming the video still couldn’t believe it.
“Maybe it’s not an egg… … .”
“Isn’t it an egg-shaped fruit?”
The tree that laid the eggs withered and lost its strength.
Carefully lift the egg that has fallen to the ground.
[Plague Egg (SS)]
▶ A fruit produced by absorbing the spirit of the corrupted land. I don’t know what will come out on the hatch screen.
“what.”
The explanation has become kinder than [Seeds of Plague], but it hasn’t changed that they still don’t tell you what’s inside.
In addition, the egg was quite large, making it inconvenient to carry around.
“No, get this and leave it.”
If you look at the hopeful part, how much [Seed of Plague], which was S-class, became SS-class?
“This must have been a corrupted land.”
Planting it in the S-class field seemed like a good choice.
what will come out
Try tapping the peel.
I can’t even hit it hard so I’ll break it, so be careful.
“hmm.”
“What do you hear?”
“no. Does it just look empty?”
Others also looked at the egg with curious eyes.
In particular, the researchers who came to study the land looked almost like gold.
“… … I think we should get out of here quickly. If you stay here, it might be a fried egg or a hard-boiled egg soon.”
“eww. scared.”
The eggs were large, but not heavy.
You can leave it at home until it’s born.
By the time you pick it up and get to the car.
I faced another problem.
“… … Does this go in the trunk?”
there was no way to go in
The door was too narrow to fit in the back seat.
It’s not really big, but it looks like it’s going to fit, but it’s oval, so it’s too small to fit in a car.

Just then, military vehicles parked nearby caught my eye.
“Can I ride that?”
If a general user came out after hunting in the field and asked a soldier under control, the soldier might have told him to stop talking nonsense and tell him to go away.
But there is a manager here.
“… … .”
A department head exchanged a few words with a unit officer, then held out his hand with a bright smile and sighed.
Al was loaded into the back of a military truck.
Yoo Joo-yeon, who rode in the back with Al, returned to Seoul feeling like she was in the army, not wearing a military uniform for the first time in a long time.
“and. Do soldiers go to training like this? Is it cold?”
“There was a child who fell off the car after dozing off for a while.”
“omg. really? brother. Did you ride this too?”
“… … I worked at the front, but it was winter… … .”
“ah. it’s okay. Stop talking about the military.”
“… … The army these days is not an army.”
Do you think Kim Sang-wook has that kind of side?
“Then see you next time.”
A manager with a tired expression greeted the setting sun.
I was tired today too.
The expression on his face clearly tells us that a lot happened today.
In fact, it only took a lot of time, but not that much.
Because I spent six hours sitting still and talking nonsense.
However, by the time I returned home after doing that, half a day had passed.
I’m trying to find out what to do with the eggs to hatch by sending a manager who moves to work quickly.
sh*t.
“uh?”
The sound of eggs cracking was heard.
“Chief Han! This is cracked!”
“… … .”
I shout once again for a manager who goes on his way pretending not to hear.
“Hatch!”
“… … .”
the egg is broken
* * *
It was an egg about half the size of an adult male.
what’s inside
Wouldn’t there be something of at least that size?
I thought a lot while coming.
I also imagined a lot.
“Dragon?”
“Isn’t it too small for a dragon?”
“hmm… … Hatchling?”
“Don’t you think you want only dragons too openly?”
“Then what do you want an orc to come out of?”
“At that size, how about a goblin or something?”
“… … .”
“Your name is Plague Egg? I think there will come out some insignificant guy who is sick with something.”
Kim Hye-ji was excited about the taste of teasing Yoo Joo-yeon.
Even at the moment the eggs were broken, I was teased by the side.
“Since you came out after grabbing that skull, there’s a high probability that you’re undead, right? Undead pets have their own personality, too.”
The egg was completely broken, and the shells that were eggs were scattered on the floor.
“what?”
The slime filling the eggs also flowed down to the floor, but the important contents were not visible.
“what?”
“Is it empty?”
Everyone was curious and came to look, but no matter where they looked, there was no creature the size of an egg.
Dig up the fallen shells.
found there
“omg!”
“what!”
Among the piles of shells, a small pure white cat covered in mucus.
“Huh!”
Kim Hye-ji grabbed her heart.
“cute!”
She has a weakness for cute things.
“Nyanko!”
It was especially weak to cats.
“Kyaa. So cute.”
There was nothing different about taking over.
“… … Kitty Shack. cute.”
Kim Sang-wook, pretending not to be interested, squatted down and gave a thumbs up.
“her.”
In the meantime, only Yoo Joo-yeon, who is still rational, frowned.
“no. Manager Han. You said you were going home, when did you bring the milk?”
“I have to report to headquarters.”
The fist-sized cat twisted and tried to shake off the slime.
Yoo Ju-yeon accepted the cat.
In any case, he is the owner.
It was definitely cute, but what can I say? The feeling was a bit strange.
“What combination is this? A cat born from an egg on a tree that grew in six hours.”
Isn’t that contradiction itself?
For some reason, such a cute thing came out through only the bad conditions that seemed like a great villain.
Surprisingly, the status window appeared.
[Plague’s Kitten]
▶ Level : 1
▶ Unique Attribute: Greed (SS)
▶ Skill: Storage (SS)
▶ Stats: Strength[1] Agility[1] Stamina[1] mana[1]
“… … .”
A pet with unique SS-class characteristics.
No, I was confused about whether this was a pet.
“Ugh. cute. starring. Are you going to grow this? Let’s grow in our house. huh? I will raise you with love like a mother.”
“Warrior. Let’s go get vaccinated first, right?”
A [Plague Kitten] with SS-class skills and SS-class unique characteristics.
I took it home thinking it was right to wait a little bit before checking what it was.
* * *
Lin Shaoling has returned to China.
All the users she had with her were wearing clown hats.
white, green, yellow.
Among the users who wore hats of various colors, she was the only one wearing a blue hat.
“bouncer. Kill Shien and hide behind the government?”
He frowned as he looked at the accumulated information while she was away.
Yoo Joo-yeon’s actions were exposed to the media so much that there was no need for a background investigation.
Attack the D-class special field, reveal that it is an EX-class unique attribute, and say that you can copy the skill.
Lin Xiaoling was even more angered by that.
“dare… … Killing isn’t enough, are you insulting the dead?”
Obviously, the swordsmanship shown in the D-class special field was the skill of her deputy manager, Wang Xian.
I wanted to invade Korea right away, but it was too risky to move now.
Killing Yoo Joo-yeon is not the problem.
There were so many delayed schedules while I went to America wearing a clown hat.
“The moment I leave the tower, I leave for Korea.”
Besides, the purpose of finding the treasure in the first place.
I had to enter the ‘Top’, a special A-level field.
Still, the anger had subsided a little.
It wasn’t because I went all the way to America to heal.
“You can definitely find it. just put it off for a while The one who dared to take my treasure. Don’t think about dying gracefully.”
When I saw the smiling face, I was fired up again.
I let go of my anger and wore the items one by one.
Tops, bottoms, gloves, hats, shoes.
5 pieces of armor.
2 rings and a bracelet.
3 ornaments.
and four pistols.
It didn’t end here.
Wear necklaces and earrings.
A total of four more rings were worn and one more bracelet was worn.
On the field, and that’s too much to go to the special field.
However, her unique characteristic, [Armed], made it more than just a decoration.
