hiss-
I soared high into the sky.
Then the huge underground space was overlooked at a glance.
‘I like that it’s spacious!’
We don’t know if this is Genghis Khan’s tomb or if it’s a place made only for elixir extraction.
This is because the interior of the building in the center has not yet been confirmed.
Whatever it is, this is my personal space from now on.
I did a survey, and the area was about 40 km2.
It was an area much more than 10 times the size of Yeouido.
This was an underground space thousands of meters down in the steppes of Mongolia.
There were no entrances or vents leading to the outside.
You can only get in and out using the teleportation gate.
But I brought the entire gate into my inventory.
So, in this world, it became a space that only I could enter.
‘It’s a perfect security area.’
If there is one downside, it is that it is too desolate.
It was all dry sand.
How nice would it be if it was a forest where trees grow?
If you’re traveling for a while, the sandy desert isn’t bad, but when you’re living for a long time, of course, the forest is much better.
‘Shall we clear some land?’
There is also a way to clear the desert and turn it into a forest.
But it was too vast an area, so I couldn’t think of it.
If you plant a tree, it might not grow well.
If the forest is difficult, it would be much better than now if it were just a meadow where grass grows.
Anyway, think about environmental issues again when you have a lot of free time, and let’s do what needs to be done first.
‘Let’s refine the gold here.’
I looked down at the golden horses.
Seeing a herd of golden horses weighing 50 tons per head made me full even without eating.
Those things weren’t 99.99 pure, so I had to purify them in order to absorb them.
I was thinking of just installing equipment to refine gold here.
Now that I have a large private land, the restrictions related to privacy that have been snaring me before have completely disappeared.
No matter what you do here, no one will notice you.
The gold processing plant in the Namdong Industrial Complex had already been purchased.
So, we will move all our facilities there.
Then you can order golems to refine gold here.
‘Let’s make a golem here too.’
All the kilns and LPG tanks from the Icheon workshop will also be moved here.
The place is sparsely populated, but the security is not as thorough as here.
We will move all our equipment here and use it as a vacation home.
‘First, let’s check the inside of the building.’
I looked at the building in the center.
That building was the ‘Battery’.
All the magical energy that was activated at Lake Baikal was supplied from that building.
The huge whirlwind that enveloped the entire island,
Structures that go between the ground and the underground,
A mirage that returns an attack equally.
It was able to activate because the elixir inside the building was supplied to Lake Baikal through the ＜Teleportation Gate＞.
But when I cleared the gate, the supply of elixir to Lake Baikal was cut off.
Now it’s just a big, dark underground space with no magic left.
When the Suzuki guys who went outside came down to the underground space again, I silently watched the whole situation.
The reason why the structure that served as the elevator fell powerlessly was because the supply of the elixir was cut off.
I was sure then.
All elixirs are contained within buildings.
So, go inside the building and absorb all the elixirs.
hiss-
I flew towards the building.
Seoyeon Kim was at the top of the building.
She’s been solving puzzles to get into the building for the second day.
At first, I tried to drill a hole in the outer wall of the building myself.
However, it was protected by powerful magic, so the stone could not be destroyed.
So I tried putting a stone in my inventory, but that didn’t work either.
Then I thought that I would have to solve a certain puzzle to get inside.
So, I entrusted this task to Kim Seo-yeon.
Because penetrating somewhere was her specialty as a hacker.
“Boss, are you here?”
“Did you find out anything?”
Kim Seo-yeon shook her head with a melancholy expression.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with Seokham.”
There was a stone box in her hand.
As the basement of Lake Baikal lost all magic, the stone box, which is the key to entering it, also lost its original value.
However, I brought it because it might be a clue to solve the puzzle to enter the building.
When the structure fell to the ground and shattered, a stone box was quickly retrieved from among the rubble.
The stone box Suzuki found was fake.
In the meantime, among the myriad magics I learned, there was a magic that could duplicate the appearance of an object.
The function cannot be duplicated, but the appearance can be made exactly the same.
For example, if you clone a smartphone, it won’t work, but it will look exactly the same.
When he healed Cervi’s daughter and took over the stone box, he made a fake for him.
That way he can control Keshikten with a fake stone box.
To sum up, there are three stone boxes with the same shape, but the real one is with me, and the two fake ones are in the hands of Chervi and Suzuki, respectively.
Anyway, I don’t know if the Suzuki guys can escape thousands of meters underground.
Well, none of that mattered to me.
You have to endure the crisis you encounter while exploring.
Anyway, the stone box had no interaction with the cube building.
“I’ve done everything I can for two days, but it doesn’t work! Hing!”
Kim Seo-yeon cried.
She was very obsessed with any type of puzzle.
It doesn’t work out the way you want, so it seems like your stomach is burning.
If she, the strongest hacker on Earth, couldn’t solve it, no one would be able to solve this puzzle.
“great job. I will try now.”
I will find the entrance myself.
It wasn’t that I was going to try to solve what Kim Seo-yeon couldn’t do with a single poop gut.
I will look for an entrance in a very simple ignorant way, not in a complicated way like pattern analysis.
‘Let’s read the memories embedded in the stone.’
I was planning to use ＜Psychometric＞.
I will check the memory of the countless stones piled up on the outer wall one by one.
If there is a ‘special stone’ that serves as an entrance, there is a high probability that the stone will contain a ‘special memory’ that is different from other stones.
jump-
I jumped off the top of the building and landed on the ground.
And he started touching the lowest stone.
Ssuk-
He swept the stones with his hands and circled the building.
The stones at the bottom were all memories of the Suzuki guys.
It’s because they’ve been messing with stones for a week trying to drill holes.
That’s why the existing memories in the stones were erased and their memories were overwritten.
humming-
I lifted myself into the air and started touching a stone that was too high for a human hand to reach.
Then memories of Japanese soldiers came into my head.
The Japanese soldiers who came here during World War II also did everything they could to get into the building.
But in the end, I gave up and went outside with only two golden horses.
It was transported to the Japanese mainland and sank near the Anyongbok Seamount.
One of them came into the hands of Chairman Chun 20 years ago, and the other came into my hands not too long ago.
In the end, Chairman Cheon also came to me with gold, so all the golden horses here were mine.
humming-
I climbed higher and started to touch the boulders.
Then memories of the people who built the building began to come into my head.
The outer walls of this building were not made of magic.
Numerous workers moved heavy stones and piled them up one by one.
The joys and sorrows of the workers were embedded in each stone.
800 years ago, I felt the sorrow and pain of people who were enslaved and exploited by the Mongols from all over the world.
Then I found a strange stone.
“uh?!”
It had a slightly different memory than other stones.
The other stone was imbued with the memories of the workers ‘piling’ the stone.
However, this stone was imbued with the memories of the workers who ‘transported’ the stone hewn from the quarry to this place.
What this means is that no one has ever piled these stones in this place.
However, the stone was stuck between other stones.
There is no way that the stone flew by itself and got stuck.
‘Someone must have piled up the stones without touching them.’
I imagined in my head immediately after the building was completed.
After all workers have finished their work and withdrew, there will be a person who finally checks inside the building and comes out last.
Perhaps he is a designer of buildings and a wizard of great skill.
He would have blocked the exit he came out of himself.
By telekinetically moving the last remaining stone on the ground.
The stones were piled up without being touched.
‘Let’s subtract it.’
I tried using ＜Personal Power＞ to get the stone out.
Shake-
From noble mtl dot com
Then the stone moved slightly.
I had already tried two days ago to use telekinesis to pull the stones out.
But the other stones did not budge.
‘I guess this is right!’
I focused.
Then, the consumption of Elixir increased rapidly.
Each stone weighed 3 tons.
It was on a different level from doing my body in the air.
‘Come out!’
I concentrated my mind with all my might.
Squeak-
Then, finally, the boulder came out completely.
And there was a passage leading to the inside of the building.
‘nice!’
went straight into the aisle.
It was a narrow passage with a width and height of only 1m, but it was not inconvenient to move by flying.
I was able to pass through about 20m and enter the building.
The internal structure was very simple.
It was in the shape of a cube, identical to the exterior of the building.
‘It was a big ship.’
The building was a huge stone box 300 meters long and 20 meters thick.
What is unusual is that gravity is not acting inside the building.
To create such a large weightless space, this was also a great high-level magic.
wavy-
A spherical golden liquid floating in the center caught my eye.
It was an elixir.
Even at a glance, it was an enormous amount, thousands of times the amount I had.
‘thank you for this food!’
hiss-
Excitedly, I flew towards the Elixir.
Suddenly, someone’s voice entered my head.
It wasn’t the telepathy of the manager or other golems.
It was a language of a kind I had never heard before.
However, because he was learning ＜listening＞ magic, he was able to understand the meaning of the language he did not know.
[All settings have been reset due to no visitors for a long time.]
[You need to set user rights first.]
[I’m trying to give you the highest authority to control everything. Accept?]
I don’t know what control you have if you’re granted top-level privileges, but I didn’t feel like accepting it would do much harm.
[accept.]
[Thank you for accepting. Would you like to continue with other settings?]
It felt like I had to reinstall my computer OS.
I decided to keep doing what I was doing.
[progress.]
[thank you. Let’s start setting up the terrain. Please select the desired terrain.]
At that moment, various images came into my mind.
Forests with dense trees, snowy fields, barren deserts, etc…
‘no way!’
I cried in my heart in anticipation.
[forest!]
[Applied.]
hiss-
I quickly flew towards the exit.
I wanted to see how the outside of the building had changed.
I got out of the exit and looked around.
omg-
The underground space that had been a desert had turned into a dense forest.
