All kinds of plants were growing around, including large trees.
just-
I came down to earth
And approached the nearest tree.
It was a common acorn tree in Korea.
Come to think of it, all the other trees and grass around me were familiar.
And it was a little strange why, among many forests, it resembled Korean forests.
‘Is it because I’m Korean?’
I touched the branches and leaves.
It was a real living tree.
tweet-
The birds chirped.
Tata blame-
I saw a squirrel leaping swiftly over the branches.
Trees and grass and birds and squirrels, everything here was real, not hallucinatory.
‘that’s interesting!’
If the creatures were instantaneously created with magic, it surpassed higher level magic and rivaled the authority of a god.
‘That’s probably not it.’
When I thought about it, I too could have turned the desert into a forest.
By using the inventory ability.
All you have to do is put the entire forest, including soil, trees, grass, birds and squirrels, into your inventory, and then take it out onto the desert.
It was not difficult as long as there were enough elixirs.
However, putting the entire huge forest in a subspace was a huge waste of elixir.
hmm-
I was very curious about what kind of magic created the forest in an instant.
Since I am also a mage, it was natural for me to have professional curiosity.
Shuung-
I flew towards the building again.
Go through the passage and enter the building.
Then the voice came again.
[Do you want to continue with the next setting?]
[Before that, I have a question for you.]
I was given the highest authority from the ‘system’ that manages this place.
So whatever you ask, I will answer truthfully.
[How did you turn the desert into a forest? What magic did you use?]
[This is an incomprehensible question.]
Am I really not understanding?
Or did the designer put restrictions on the system so that even the highest privileges could not access it?
[Do you want to continue with the next setting?]
Anyway, it seems difficult to hear the answer you want from the system.
So, let’s start with the setup we’ve been doing.
[progress.]
[thank you. Please set the length of day and night.]
This is an underground space, so sunlight does not enter.
Because the interior is illuminated with magical light, the day and night cycle can be set at will.
[14 hours in the daytime, 10 hours in the night.]
It was set similar to summer in Korea.
[Applied. Would you like to continue with the next setting?]
Setup continued.
Settings such as temperature and humidity, wind direction and strength, and rain cycle were followed.
[All settings have been completed. You can change your settings at any time. You can also supply elixirs to the outside through the teleportation gate.]
Changing the environment of the underground space was all about the setting.
And supplying the elixir to the outside was the whole function of this place.
There was nothing else.
[But who are you?]
It is to check whether the system here has ‘self’.
[This is an incomprehensible question.]
[When was this underground space created?]
[This is an incomprehensible question.]
[Do you know who made it?]
[This is an incomprehensible question.]
The system here was far from high-level artificial intelligence.
It seems to be worse than electric rice cookers and washing machines that are out these days.
It is difficult to obtain information about this place through dialogue with the system.
hiss-
I called the manager.
I will have her investigate this place.
[warning! An unauthorized entity has entered the building. Should I remove it?]
The system recognized the manager as an intruder.
[Not an intruder.]
[Please set the permissions of the target.]
[Highest Authority.]
The manager was also given the highest authority.
So that we can properly investigate this place.
I told the manager
“Find out as much as you can.”
“Yes, boss!”
.
.
.
We walked through the woods for two hours.
The more I looked at it, the more it resembled a Korean forest.
If I hadn’t known, I would have thought I had climbed a hill near Seoul.
‘that’s interesting.’
It was then.
“president!”
The manager flew to me after investigating.
She started reporting what she found out.
“The structure and operation principle are exactly the same as the elixir extraction facility in the secret room of the rocky mountain. It is only tens of thousands of times larger in size.”
“okay? Anything else special?”
“This is a place created for elixir extraction and supply. And being able to control the environment of the underground space is all the additional features.”
“It is not the tomb of Genghis Khan.”
“I looked all over in sync with the system, but nothing like that.”
Again, this was not the tomb of Genghis Khan.
In short, it was an ‘elixir generator’ made to extract the elixir and supply it to the outside through the gate.
“Seeing that it has the same structure as the lockroom in the rocky mountain, there is a high probability that it was designed by the same person.”
“That’s right. Maybe they built a miniature version and tested it before building it.”
It was a fair enough talk.
If a huge facility is completed by consuming a lot of labor and resources, but it does not work properly, it will be a waste.
So you could have made a miniature version beforehand and tested it.
The secret room in the rocky mountain may be a miniature version of it.
I looked at the center of the building.
The huge spherical elixir was emitting golden light.
“How much is that?”
“Approximately 2,023 tons.”
It takes 2 grams of gold to extract 1 gram of elixir.
So the elixir here was extracted from about 4,000 tons of gold.
“What is the extraction rate per hour here?”
“It is one-tenth of a 100-level plant. It has been extracted for 800 years, so the amount of elixir is large, but the extraction speed itself is not fast.”
“How many elixirs do I have right now?”
“I have 202 kg.”
“Is that all there is to it?”
“The amount of elixir produced so far in the elixir extraction plant is 764kg. I used 562kg of them, and I have 202kg left.”
While working part-time at a room salon, the elixir extraction system suddenly started.
About 7 months have passed since then.
In the meantime, it absorbed a huge amount of gold.
100 tons were stolen from the Hong Kong Triads and 50 tons were stolen from Chairman Chen.
So, more than 150 tons of gold were piled up in the gold warehouse.
However, the capacity of the elixir extraction plant was slow, so only a small portion was consumed.
“The Elixir Extraction Factory upgrades by one level every 21 days. Currently, there are 10 stages, and the daily gold consumption is 15 kg. The amount of elixir extraction is 7.5kg per day, which is half of that. After 5 years, the factory will be upgraded to the final stage, stage 100. From then on, you will consume 150 kg of gold per day.”
150 kg per day consumes 4.5 tons per month.
In other words, 2.25 tons of elixir is produced per month.
Anyway, that will happen after 5 years, and the elixir inside me now is only about 200kg.
However, thanks to the discovery of this underground space, he got a whopping 2,000 tons of elixir for free.
‘nice!’
A car of 200 kg and 2,000 tons is formidable.
In terms of money, it is the difference between 2 million won and 20 billion won.
With 2 million won, it is difficult to even rent a single room, but with 20 billion won, you can become a landlord.
“Can I absorb all the elixirs here?”
From noble mtl dot com
“it’s possible. But if you absorb too much at once, the ooze of desire can lead to poisoning!”
The elixir here is mixed with the essence of desire.
If you just consume it, you will be possessed by madness caused by desire.
I have a tree, so I can purify the essence of desire, but I cannot purify a large amount at once.
So you have to absorb the elixir bit by bit.
“I recommend splitting it into 1/100 and absorbing it!”
The manager reached for the elixir.
Then, the elixir, which was one large sphere, split into 100 smaller spheres.
As an expert in extracting elixirs, she was able to handle the elixirs freely.
I put my hand on one of the spheres.
hiss-
That’s how I absorbed 20 tons of elixir.
It’s 1 in 100, but it was a huge amount for me.
Elixir holdings increased from 202 kg to 20,202 kg.
‘exciting!’
Now you can use magic to your heart’s content without worrying about the elixir.
But let’s not waste it unnecessarily.
There are times when you spend money like water just because you hit the lottery, and things get worse than before winning the lottery.
Anyway, who built this underground space and for what purpose is still unresolved.
‘The day will come when I will know.’
.
.
.
I passed through the gate and into the basement.
hiss-
And put the gate in the inventory.
self-
The enlarged basement space was returned to its original size.
then came out
I had been away for a long time, and the lawn in the garden was manicured.
It was edited by Seoyoon Lee.
While me and the other golems were out of the country, she was left alone in Korea to process gems.
But it was a bit strange.
Originally there were 5 pine trees in the garden, but one has disappeared.
‘Has there been a thief?’
I have heard that there are thieves stealing expensive trees from the hills and gardens of others.
But I couldn’t understand why he had so much trouble climbing over the fence of someone else’s house and stealing just one tree.
If you want to steal, you have to steal all 5 trees.
Suddenly, an intuition crept into my head.
‘no way!’
I took out my phone and opened the portal site app.
omg-
My prediction was right.
There was news that trees suddenly disappeared all over Seoul.
In each house, one or two trees grown in gardens or indoor pots disappeared, and one or two trees in neighborhood parks, hills, and roadside trees disappeared one by one.
The comment section of the news was heated up.
Some commented that it was the work of a huge criminal organization, and others said it was the result of the wrong election of the president.
There were even claims that it was the work of aliens.
In this world, only I knew the truth.
The trees in Seoul were moved to the underground space.
‘Somehow, all the trees are familiar.’
I was puzzled because all the trees were common in Korea, but now I know why.
The system in the underground space could not only supply elixirs to the outside through the gate, but also rob the necessary supplies from the outside.
Because the gate was opened in Seoul, the resources needed to create a forest were stolen from all over Seoul.
I suddenly became a forest thief.
There was no way to return all the plants to their original positions.
A method you can try is to change the environment of the underground space to a desert again.
Then, the soil and trees that are no longer needed may be returned to their original positions.
But even if it worked, it was a problem.
How will people react if the trees come back in an instant?
It will cause more uproar than when it disappeared.
‘It can’t be helped.’
It’s already been done, so I just have to be careful in the future.
‘Let’s go to a workshop.’
I left the house and headed to the store.
When I arrived at the store and entered the workshop on the second floor, Lee Seo-yoon in work clothes greeted me warmly.
“Boss, you are here!”
All sorts of trinkets were shining dazzlingly around her.
While I was fishing and playing on Lake Baikal for over a month, she worked tirelessly on jewelry.
“How many points are these?”
“92 necklaces, 125 pairs of earrings, 803 rings!”
During my absence, he created over 1,000 works.
With this amount, you can fill the display case and start doing business right away.
“good!”
Finally, the time has come to open a gold and silver room.
