“What were you doing?”
“I was collecting some bread.”
“Well. Bread…”
“Yes. Bread is used like a coin here. Roughly five loaves of bread can be exchanged for a quill, and ten can be exchanged for a sugar cube the size of a matchbox.”
“……”
The Blue Dragon Tower students had Lee Han, so they were able to eat well and live well, but the students in other towers had no one like Lee Han.
They were desperately fighting for survival.
talentThe hard bread that comes out when your time comes is now being used as an alternative currency.
Currency that can be used to purchase various items!
“Wow… is it okay to take a look?”
“Look at whatever you want.”
Yonner glanced at the items on the black market with an intriguing expression. If there was something useful, I thought I would buy it.
Lee Han couldn’t contain his curiosity and tilted his head together.
And then I was surprised.
‘no. Surprisingly, there are many useful things, right?’
I wondered how much the Black Turtle Tower students would have gathered if they had collected materials, but there were more special items than I thought.
Of course, the food was not plentiful.
It was full of all kinds of fake food, except for all kinds of canned food (probably something the priests had unpacked when they arrived).
Fake cheese, fake milk, fake eggs, fake smoked meat, fake pickled fish, fake coffee, fake tea leaves, etc. To the extent that you think, ‘Isn’t it harder to fake this?’
But aside from the food, there were surprisingly many useful things.
Bags, quills, blankets, lanterns, fishing rods, shovels and pickaxes, tents and sleeping bags, ropes and chalk, bows and arrows…
And the most surprising thing is…
‘Why are there so many artifacts?’
Plain-looking cloth cloaks or leather belts, bracelets and necklaces woven with stones.
It was a common miscellaneous thing, but Lee Han could feel the magic emanating from it.
It was certain. It was an artifact.
‘No matter how easy this school is to get artifacts, this is so amazing.’
Outside, even a very simple artifact was very valuable. The price was also the price, but the number was small, so adventurers and mercenaries could not find them, so they were anxious.
You need at least one artifact to be able to say ‘I am a seasoned adventurer’!
Even if there was only one artifact with ＜Dark Sight> right now, all the dungeons called dark dungeons could serve as a guide, and artifacts with healing magic could become a second life in an emergency.
But this school was a little different.
First of all, isn’t it a place where people who know how to create artifacts and people who want to create them gather?
Of course, the quality fluctuates and is unbelievable as amateurs make it, but the number of artifacts itself was bound to overflow.
But still, freshmen will find these discarded artifacts thrifty and bring them home.
I was amazed at the practical spirit and skills of the Black Turtle Tower students.
‘It would have made a lot more sense if I had entered the Black Turtle Tower.’
If Lee Han had been in the Black Turtle Tower, he would have raked up school supplies with the students.
“Want to buy one? I checked, but nothing was of much use.”
Ratford whispered softly next to him, thinking that Lee Han was coveting.
The black turtle top student, interrupted by business, glared at Ratford.
‘Who’s business is this child now…!’
But Ratford didn’t care.
“The cloak is said to be a protective cloak that blocks cutlery, but in practice, it only blocks once in two.”
“Wait, one out of two is still quite useful, isn’t it?”
“Really… that’s great. The attitude of thinking that the cup is half full rather than half empty.”
“I don’t get compliments for just throwing out a few words. Ratford.”
Lee Han glanced over the artifacts.
Certainly there was reason to say that Ratford had nothing to do with it.
There were artifacts that the placenta did not know the effect of or were difficult to confirm, and some of them were also getting weaker and weaker.
The enchanted magic is not permanent, so it is disappearing.
Among those artifacts, the protective cloak that just came out was not very promising, but it was quite useful..
the problem is…
“Are you accepting trauma?”
“Even if a knife enters the neck, there is no trauma. Wodanaj-san.”
‘No, why do you say respect…’
Ian was not funny.
You can just say it’s not comfortable!
But for the Black Turtle Tower students, this traumatic issue was significant.
Other top students had already come and tried to deal with credit.
If top students like Lee Han-ya were to steal money, they would go to the family and get slapped, but the Black Turtle Tower students were unable to visit the imperial gates.
For this reason, foreign transactions are never allowed!
After hearing the explanation, Lee Han nodded. That was a very understandable explanation.
“Then there is nothing you can do. Umm… I thought it was going to be barter, so I brought this and that.”
Lee Han raised the basket.
He brought a lot of things to the description of the barter market, but he lost his confidence when he saw the atmosphere.
Does he have to go back and get more cans?
‘I want to buy artifacts before they sell.’
“What did you bring?”
“Once I brought some freshly harvested fruits, vegetables and eggs…”
“!”
“!!!”
Along with a rumbling sound, the students from the Black Turtle Tower could be heard.
* * * *
Surprisingly, the students of the Tower of Black Turtle were fascinated by fruits, vegetables and eggs.
Students who were selling artifacts as well as students selling other things ran to Lee Han and tried to barter somehow.
“This pickaxe and shovel! It’s something a Dwarf craftsman might have made, but if you get one, you’ll be able to use it anytime…”
“I’ll exchange it for fake pickled fish, fake coffee, fake tea leaves, and one egg there!”
“If you can get an onion, I will give you this staff.”
While everyone lined up and tried to somehow force the sale, the Black Turtle Top student, who had sold the hooded cloak for two potatoes, laughed at her friends as they roasted the potatoes.
“It’s stupid. Selling good things makes a profit, and selling bad things and making ejaculation about what’s left?”
“Shut up! Lucky for him to pick up a cloak!”
“hey. How many loaves of potatoes would you like to sell?”
“I don’t sell it. Eat that kind of bread yourself.”
“I heard that potatoes these days are not as tasty as I thought. Bread might be better.”
Despite the conspiracy of his friends, the student who obtained the potato was carefully roasted.
When the skin of the baked potato was peeled, the warm white flesh was revealed. The Black Turtle Top student blew it out and put it in his mouth.
“…!!”
Without words, I could guess that the potatoes were melting on my tongue.
Lee Han, who was watching, was a little perplexed.
‘How hungry are you?’
Potatoes that were just baked without using salt or butter could not go in so much.
But what kind of reaction is that?
“…Everyone, get together for a moment. I’ll serve you the food. Yonner. Can you help me?”
Yoner nodded his head. The two exchanged glances.
‘Let’s not take money this time.’
‘okay!’
Although it was Lee Han who thoroughly received the money, he did not want to put silver coins on the ledger even after seeing that starving figure.
And there were other desires.
‘If you serve food before entering the mountain range, wouldn’t it be possible to win the hearts of the students of the Black Turtle Tower?’
Although he had already been permanently hostile to the White Tiger Tower students, he did not know if he would still be able to make friends with the Black Turtle Tower students.
Lee Han cut freshly harvested vegetables with a knife and seasoned them simply.
Sprinkled with salt and pepper, the students of the Black Turtle Tower looked at them in shock.
But the shock is nowIt had only just begun.
Lee Han drizzled the oil and fry the vegetables until golden brown. Already a mouthwatering smell spread all around.
Around the pot, students from the Black Turtle Tower gathered like zombies one by one.
Lee Han picked up a can of tomatoes. I scraped the bottom of the can with a spoon, poured it into a pot, piled up the vegetables one by one, and then cooked them sizzling.
A thick tomato-vegetable stew that was incredibly tasty that it was made in a rush was completed.
As soon as it was completed, Lee Han handed out a bowl to each of the Black Turtle Tower students who were waiting.
And the surroundings became quiet. All I could hear was the sound of people scratching their bowls with spoons.
The faces of the students who ate them all were filled with gratitude and emotion.
Oh, that was the meal!
We’ve been forgetting something for a while!
“ruler. Applause to Wodanaj-sama…”
“Be quiet, please.”
Lee Han shoved the potato into Ratford’s mouth. I was trying to light a candle in a good mood.
* * * *
Lee Han refused, but the Black Turtle Top students shoved various things into Lee Han’s pocket to get anything.
Thanks to this, Lee Han carried two backpacks on his back and walked with a lantern and fishing rod on one side and a shovel and pickaxe on the other.
“You… are you so cool?”
Yonaire admired the avant-garde fashion. Ratford agreed.
“You look like a seasoned explorer.”
Even so, Ratford, Yoner couldn’t tell if he was trying to make fun of him or if his eyes were broken.
Lee Han sighed and put down one of his backpacks. The chess set, the card set, and the dice set inside were rattling.
There was something to be gained other than the liking and trust of the Black Turtle Tower students.
In addition to the cloak of protection, he had obtained quite a few useful artifacts.
Boots of Lesser Stealth (which miraculously reduced the sound when worn), Chalk from Smokescreen (When thrown, it shattered and scattered smoke around it), Bracelet of Sight Detection (the stone on the bracelet had a chance to turn red when someone looked at it)…
‘no. But this must have been made by high school students. Why did you make this?’
Lee Han doubted the intention of seeing the works of the seniors who were taking artefact production lectures.

No matter how much I think about this, it seems like it’s all trying to get out of the professor’s eyes…?
Thunder Thunder Thunder-
“?”
While checking the artifact, Lee Han turned his head to the sound of the backpack.
To my surprise, my bony hands were moving and crawling out of my backpack.
“…?!”
For a moment, Lee Han thought that the Black Turtle Tower students had repaid their kindness.
But come to think of it, none of the Black Turtle Tower students could dig magic traps in such a complex way.
Moongrass!
A hand made of bones flew in and merged with the unidentified bone that Professor Mortum received from Lee Han’s arms.
A bone that has now changed to about the size of a hand from a forearm.
The bone floated in the air and waited patiently in front of Lee Han. Like a dog waiting for food.
“…no. no. no.”
Lee Han tried to deny it, but the bone came closer and bit Lee Han’s fingertips slightly to take a drop of blood.
Then I felt a mental connection with this imperfect bone minion.
“sit down.” “wake up.” “Turn around.” “Go and grab it.”
“……”
“……”
Yonaire and Ratford looked at Lee Han with complicated eyes.
Suddenly, a friend took out a Bone Summon and gave orders to go down the dark magic path, but I couldn’t help but feel complicated.
‘The professor gave me something really strange. There’s no way a professor can give you something that’s okay.’
“Isn’t it better to throw it away?”
digDoc!
At Yoner’s words, the bone-mined beast trembled and clinged to Lee Han.
It was a summoned beast with only the bones of his hand and forearm, but somehow he felt pity.
“…Oh, no. cancellation. cancellation. I’m sorry…”
Yoner had no choice but to undo what he had said.
