There are times when you can sometimes see stars in the sky of Seoul.
The Big Dipper was visible in the night sky looked up from the terrace.
“Since the tea is finished, I will go back to the factory!”
hiss-
The manager returned to the elixir extraction plant.
“I will go back to the workshop. I haven’t finished my work yet.”
Lee Seo-yoon left home and went back to work at the workshop.
Even if I told him to take it easy, it was no use.
She thinks jewelry processing is the most fun in the world.
“I’m going to pierce the one I pierced too!”
Kim Seo-yeon went into her computer room and started hacking.
‘Then shall I go to bed?’
The biggest difference between golems and humans was the need for sleep.
They don’t have to sleep, but I had to.
shoot-
I showered and climbed onto the bed.
And fell into a deep sleep.
***
I was standing in the backyard of a factory.
I was having a lucid dream.
The trees were giving off a bright light.
You are ready to impart knowledge to me.
He put his finger on the leaf.
pat-
A magical knowledge entered my brain as the leaves emitted light.
It was ＜how to make butter＞.
It was not a general butter recipe to make butter with milk, but ‘property transformation magic’ that changed pure water into butter.
Among the knowledge contained in the leaf, there were several types of attribute conversion magic that changed a substance into a substance with a completely different nature.
＜How to make explosives＞ using sea salt to make explosives was also a type of attribute conversion magic.
Now, all you need is water to make high-quality butter.
However, you will seldom use this magic.
At first glance, you might think that the only thing left to do is to make a lot of money because you can make expensive butter with plain water, but it wasn’t at all.
Because it consumes elixir when converting properties, the cost performance is too low.
Butter, which could be bought for thousands to tens of thousands of won at the mart, cost hundreds of thousands to millions of won each to magically make it.
If I can collect mana through meditation like the wizards in fantasy novels and use it to spread magic, then I can just use ‘magic power like that’.
Because meditation doesn’t cost money.
However, in a land without mana, you must consume an elixir to use magic.
And the elixir can only be extracted from gold.
So, you should always keep in mind that using magic is ‘expenditure’.
‘Magic power is money.’
I put my finger on the second leaf.
pat-
A recipe for making armor came out.
It was a recipe for making ＜Lightning Helmet＞, which is resistant to electricity-attribute attacks.
There has been a slight change in my mindset toward magic equipment.
‘Isn’t the day actually coming?’
It occurred to me that if there were truly skilled alchemists on Earth who could create elixirs, there might be enemies who had to wear magic equipment and face them.
But it was still just a whim.
I put my finger on the third last leaf.
pat-
A magic that can read memories came out.
I was already learning ＜Memory Reading＞, which reads other people’s 24-hour memories.
The magic learned today was different from that.
It was a magic that could read the memories of objects.
Through the medium of an object, it is possible to read the memories or emotions of the person who touched the object at the time.
In a word, it was ＜psychometry＞ ability.
‘This must have many uses.’
self-
The tree’s light faded.
You have to wait a day to get the knowledge back.
The leaves, which were originally green, turned red after imparting knowledge.
Most of the leaves on the trees have already turned red.
Hundreds of knowledge passed on to me over the past few months.
The manager who was approaching at some point looked at the tree and said.
“Sooner or later the tree will grow and grow green leaves.”
***
I woke up to the fresh morning sunlight.
When I opened the bedroom door and came out into the living room, a delicious smell wafted in.
When I went to the kitchen, Kim Seo-yeon was wearing an apron and was preparing breakfast.
She smiled broadly at me.
“Are you awake? Sit down and wait a bit, it will be ready in no time!”
One of the important purposes of making golems was to entrust them with housework.
The manager had to manage the elixir extraction plant, and Lee Seo-yoon almost lived in a jewelry workshop, so Kim Seo-yeon was mainly in charge of the housekeeping.
I sat down on a chair.
On the table were side dishes such as my favorite pickled vegetables, salted fish, rolled egg and stir-fried anchovies.
Bubbly-
Kim Seo-yeon put the soft tofu stew with lots of clams on top.
When I took a spoonful and tasted it, it was excellent.
“The broth is good!”
“I’m glad you got hit.”
“The seared oysters are really delicious! Did you soak it yourself?”
“I bought it from the side dish shop across from the gold and silver room.”
“ah···.”
The building owner’s grandfather often praised the grandmother’s taste of the side dish restaurant as an art, but it was really delicious.
I will be a regular in the future.
“What would you like to have for lunch? Would you like some ribs?”
“I’m going out to eat lunch, so I don’t have to prepare anything.”
After breakfast, I will go out immediately and prepare for Mongolia.
This destination was not a tourist destination unlike other destinations I had been to before.
It was a barren desert without a single shop, let alone a guest house.
So, we had to be prepared for camping.
‘I wanted to enjoy proper camping anyway.’
A few days ago, I wanted to go camping, so I went to a campsite near my house.
I rented a tent and stayed overnight, but it wasn’t much fun.
There is a convenience store nearby and you can even order a late-night snack with a delivery app at any time, so I didn’t feel like camping.
This time, you can enjoy camping in a real backcountry.
.
.
.
First, I went to the mart and bought a lot of groceries.
Because the most important thing in remote survival is to eat and drink.
There was no need to pack long-term preservation food.
You can stock up on fresh meat and dairy, as well as vegetables and fruits in your inventory without worrying about spoiling them.
After packing food, I went to a camping goods store.
There was a discount event for the summer holiday season.
The first thing that caught my eye was the tent.
I didn’t need a tent if I used barrier magic, but after looking at the large, up-to-date tents, I felt the urge to buy one.
‘Let’s save the elixir.’
No matter how expensive the tent was, it was incredibly cheap compared to using a magic barrier.
While looking at the tent, the sales staff came running.
“Hello, customer! What type are you looking for? Do you have any models in mind?”
“What is the best?”
The face of the sales clerk was colored with joy at my question, which gave off the smell of Hogu.
He pointed to a large tent.
“This product is the king of tents! The space is huge and installation and removal are so easy! It is originally 12 million won, but it is sold for 10 million won at a discount during the summer!”
It was a large tent that was over 5m in length and width and over 2m in height.
It was quite suitable for writing alone.
Moreover, it can be installed in a matter of seconds with the one-touch method.
It seemed like a good idea to buy several while buying.
“Ten, please.”
From noble mtl dot com
“yes?”
“I want 10 of the same model.”
“I only have two in stock now…”
“Then give me two.”
“no! I’ll prepare 10 right away! An hour while looking at other products… No, please wait 30 minutes!”
A sales clerk rushed to the office and another clerk ran to guide me.
The next thing that caught my eye after the tent was a portable generator.
I needed a generator to charge my phone and tablet.
I’ll bring a lot of auxiliary battery packs, but I don’t know how long I’ll stay in the desert, so it’s a good idea to bring a generator.
“What is a generator good for?”
“Solar generators are all the rage these days! There is no noise, no pollution to the environment, and the power generation capacity has increased significantly.”
Solar generators, unlike diesel generators, do not have loud engine noise and exhaust fumes.
There is a downside that the efficiency drops when the weather is cloudy or the temperature is too high, but it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t use a lot of electricity.
“Please give me the most expensive one.”
“A wise choice.”
I also bought all the other items that stood out.
.
.
.
As I was heading to the West Coast with the idea of crossing the sea on a jet ski, a different idea suddenly came to my mind.
‘There was a better way.’
It takes a whole day to travel 2,000 km from the west coast to the destination.
With my ability now, there was no need to smuggle in so hard.
‘Let’s go on a plane.’
If you sneak into a plane going to Mongolia, you can smuggle into the country without anyone knowing.
I turned to Incheon Airport.
When I searched the flight schedule on a travel app, there was a passenger flight leaving for Mongolia in an hour.
If you take that plane, you can arrive at Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
The destination Choibalsan and Ulaanbaatar were not very far.
‘good!’
malevolent malevolent-
Today, the airport lobby was crowded with people.
I used invisibility magic in an uninhabited corner.
fluffy-
I flew through the sky and passed the security checkpoint and immigration checkpoint.
In the same way, I moved to the boarding gate and boarded the plane.
.
.
.
Arrived in Mongolia in 4 hours.
Elixir consumption was high, so it was impossible to continue using invisibility magic on the plane.
So he changed his face with ＜100 Masks＞ and canceled the invisibility magic.
Then, the stewardesses moved around the bathroom and empty seats without noticing.
Fortunately, I arrived safely at Genghis Khan Airport without being caught.
It was cumbersome to move around like a grasshopper using invisibility magic from time to time, but thanks to that, I arrived incredibly early, even though it would have taken 24 hours.
As soon as I got out of the airport, I moved to a deserted place.
hiss-
Then, he took out an unregistered motorcycle from his inventory and rode it.
**
When Choi Min-hyeok rides a motorcycle and crosses the Mongolian wasteland at full speed,
Suzuki and his crew were also moving through the desert in trucks and armored vehicles.
The plan was for vehicles and infantry to arrive at their destination first and set up a base camp, and then the helicopter units would be moved at the end.
Queek-
The armored car in front stopped.
Suzuki, who was riding in it, spoke into the walkie-talkie.
“Let’s rest here.”
Those who listened to his instructions got out of the vehicle and set up a makeshift camp.
.
.
.
That night the camp was unusually quiet.
I was on the move, so everyone was tired and went to bed early.
But not everyone was asleep.
A sentry guarded a truck loaded with ammunition and fuel.
Unmanned turrets were installed around the camp, but sentries were erected there.
rustle-
Hearing someone approaching, the sentry pointed his gun and said the passcode.
“octopus!”
“Jeongjong.”
The person who appeared at the post was Fujiwara, the camp’s doctor.
He told a silly joke to the sentry.
“It would be nice to warm up a bowl of rice wine with octopus sashimi! Heh heh heh!”
The sentry asked him in surprise.
“Miss Fujiwara? What are you doing here at this hour?”
“Are you here to stand guard?”
“Are you a teacher?”
“Everyone must be tired from moving, so I volunteered to stand guard.”
“No matter what, it’s a little bit of a teacher to stand guard…”
“Don’t ignore me, I’m also a former SDF military surgeon!”
“ah···.”
“You’re going to be tired, so go in and go to sleep. I have to move on again tomorrow.”
The sentry eventually left Fujiwara behind and headed to the barracks.
Then I met Suzuki outside the barracks.
Suzuki looked at her watch and asked the sentry.
“Isn’t it time for shift yet?”
“Mr. Fujiwara took over.”
“what? Who is Fujiwara?”
“Yes, you said you volunteered for guard duty…”
In an instant, a bad premonition ran through Suzuki’s brain.
Tata blame-
Suzuki ran full speed toward the truck.
At some point, the smell of oil began to vibrate.
‘no!’
Arriving at the truck, Suzuki was stunned.
meowing-
Oil was pouring out of an open drum.
