Episode 31
‘Damn it, no matter how hidden the quest is, the conditions are dirty.’
Horizon has a lot of oddities. A passer-by can suddenly pull out a legendary treasured sword, or learn a forgotten mystic secret.
The same goes for Seorn. He was able to become a disciple of Saint-Germain, an NPC who could be said to be a legendary alchemist by chance.
Thanks to that, I was able to become #1 in the global popular game Horizon’s alchemist rankings.
He had a problem recently.
‘Because it’s like a f*cking inspiration. To give such a thing as an ordeal.’
Seorn, who had reached level 200, received a quest from his teacher Saint Germain.
Instead of handing over their secret skills, show their own abilities!
Saint-Germain, a legendary NPC, was a twisted and demanding old man befitting an alchemist.
‘Gather more than 1/10 of the materials needed to make the Philosopher’s Stone. It’s an insane difficulty level.’
The Philosopher’s Stone is a Legendary-class item that can be said to be the long-cherished wish of an alchemist.
It was said to have the ability to turn copper into gold and give life to inanimate objects.
It was also an item that Saint-Germain himself had not completed yet.
Seorn’s Master Quest was to gather some of the materials needed for the Philosopher’s Stone.
-At least, these are the lowest-level materials that can be obtained with your skills.
Ceorn looked at the list drawn by Saint-Germain.
The dragon’s heart, the devil’s horn, the material of another dimension, the devil’s morality, the cat’s steps… … .
‘How on earth do you get something like this?’
Seorn is a super high scorer in the top 100 of Horizon’s overall rankings.
However, the difficulty of this quest was truly the best of the best.
‘I can’t get this even with real money.’
I tried all kinds of methods, but getting the materials was a long way off.
However, he must not prove his ability to Saint-Germain.
‘Even though it hurts my pride to be taken advantage of by NPCs, if I don’t learn Saint-Germain’s skills, my current position is in danger.’
Horizon is a game that is achieving explosive growth every month.
It’s not just fun, there are many people who now make it a livelihood job.
The same goes for Seorn. As an office worker, he immediately quit the company as soon as he got a chance.
Since becoming a disciple of Saint-Germain, Gemsaeng has been on a winning streak. Now, I have become a body that is not satisfied with earning 200 to 300 per month.
And if you think about Horizon’s growth in the future, even if you stick to the same position as you are now, becoming a multi-billionaire is not a dream.
‘Because there is a saying that the first place in the ranking right now earns over 5 billion from Horizon.’
It’s just a rumor, but if you consider the ingredients that Lee Hyeon-seong, the No.
With the mindset that he had to make ends meet, Ceorn tried putting in a request for the wings of Hermes.
‘First of all, this company is the best in Korea.’
If it didn’t work here, I had to take a risk and go on an expedition to another server’s continent or look for a company there.
‘I don’t really want to use the foreign server black market because mafia or gangs are involved… … .’
When I thought so, the answer came.
‘It’s fast.’
– Gerard: Yes.
‘uh?’
-Gerard: I was going to contact you, but… … . There are things that will appeal to you.
The alchemist narrowed his eyes.
* * *
“Huh… … . oh… … .”
Seorn looked at the shining jewel with surprised eyes.
Even just by looking at it, it is quite beautiful. Its value alone looks great.
But it’s not just a gem.
[Evileye’s Tears]
“How the hell did you get this?”
Seorn looked at the player wearing a black robe with a surprised look.
He hides his nickname and doesn’t show his appearance well.
“I can’t beat Evileye even if I’m ranked #1 right now… … . No, can you win? Because it’s so f*cking strong. however… … . Can you get tears like this?”
Evil Eye.
A monster that lives in another dimension.
It is a monster that is almost impossible to hunt at the level of current players.
It is difficult from the beginning to encounter.
Transitioning to another dimension is currently close to impossible.
Evileye also becomes Zen at random, so meeting her is difficult.
In addition to that, the level is also between 200 and 500.
Even hunting alone is close to impossible, and on top of that, Evileye’s tears are only possible if you give Evileye a big blow.
However, Evileye constantly spreads a barrier with almost extreme physical resistance.
What if you somehow manage to break the shield and then try to hit Evileye?
Feeling threatened for her life, Evileye immediately opened the gate and fled to another dimension.
In other words, these jewels in front of Ceorn’s eyes.
Evileye’s tears were an item that was difficult to obtain even with a thousand gold.
“The source is a secret, but there are five items I can hand over to the Alchemist.”
“five things?”
“yes.”
‘This quest will fill half of the conditions in one room.’
The alchemist’s eyes shone.
“Five million won each.”
It was time to place a bet.
* * *
“If you have any other materials like this, please feel free to contact me.”
Saeorn shook hands with the mysterious man with satisfaction.
‘He’s not a member of a large guild or a ranker I know.’
If it were them, they might have taken a weakness and paid a bigger price.
“It seems like a new face, but to the point of hunting Evileye… … .”
The man’s identity was unknown.
No, I only found out one thing.
‘It’s such a salty idol!’
Sae-orn was also good at bargaining, but he couldn’t help it against this man.
Although the armor was on that side in the first place, it was greatly torn even considering that.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Still, I didn’t feel any loss.
Because I got one of the hardest ingredients.
Seorn, who was getting up from his seat, suddenly remembered a question.
“By the way, can I ask you one question?”
“It’s not possible.”
“I’m really curious about this… … .”
“It’s not possible.”
Opponent hitting the iron wall.
But this time, Seorn won.
“Fifty thousand won. If you answer, I will give you a lump sum.”
“… … I will listen and answer you. Only this question.”
“That’s enough.”
Sean continued.
“How the hell did you get these Evileye tears?”
“How do you say?”
“As you know, Evileye is difficult to catch. How the hell did you get this?”
In Horizon, this kind of information is actually traded at a pretty high price.
Most of these were related to special strategies, so it was all the more so.
however… … .
“I was beaten.”
“Have you been beaten?”
“Yes, I just hit it and it made me cry.”
The answer that came out was absurdly simple.
“… … Thanks for the answer. The amount promised here.”
Seorn handed over the gold.
The next moment, the man’s body turned into light and disappeared.
– You have logged out.
* * *
“Whoa.”
outside the capsule.
Kim Kang-han, who inhaled the air in his room, stretched.
“The deal is over… … .”
Write down the contents directly on a notepad that serves as a household account book.
-5 Evileye’s Tear Crystals have been sold.
-Amount 53,942,710 won.
– 5% will be excluded as transaction introduction fee.
‘It sold well.’
Since five crystals were sold, each sold for about 10.7 million won.
I expected about 8.5 million won, but I raised it by 2 million won.
‘The opponent… … Ceorn!’
The opponent of the plate was also unusual.
The alchemist who appeared until the second half of the original novel!
Although he didn’t appear in person a few times, he was mentioned many times during large-scale battles or raids.
‘If it was 53 million won, it was pretty good.’
Of course, some of it is used for living expenses.
Most of it will be used to grow the character through reinvestment.
‘There is a stock that is unconditionally worthwhile, how can I not do this?’
Kim Kang-han smiled.
“Then let’s just eat and then go back in.”
Until the Orc event, you have to run without any spare time.
In terms of work, it’s like staying up all night.
Kim Kang-han, who checked the rice container, sighed as he looked at the empty container.
“Since we ran out of rice, we should fill it with ramen.”
The irony of not having rice when you have 50 million won in your hand.
But Kim Kang-han was used to this situation.
‘Well, where can I live without a day or two?’
Skillfully boils water in a pot and cooks.
Prepare enough water and start boiling!
Usually, it is completed by adding ramen directly to it and boiling it.
‘Whoops.’
However, the ramen Kim Kang-han is preparing now is not ordinary ramen.
whopping… … .
‘It’s beef ramen.’
Beef was obtained as a reward for starting the game before the flush.
Now that you are enduring with minimal living expenses, it is a valuable source of protein!
‘If you lightly stir-fry the beef and put it in, it becomes a special beef ramen.’
I had eaten like this from time to time in my current life, but it was a special case to the last.
From noble mtl dot com.
In the first place, the idea of putting beef in ramen is something I can’t do unless it’s like this.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve tasted it.’
It was then.
bang!
The sound of a car crashing echoed outside the door.
“hey! Oh Jinhwan! You mutt! open the door! Red!”
‘mutt… … ?’
Kim Kang-han’s expression distorted.
Seeing him call me mutt, he must be a thug sent by a loan shark.
‘No, but it’s a woman’s voice.’
Aren’t loan sharks usually only used by big people?
The thoughts didn’t go any further. It was because the door was shaking in succession and there was the sound of a screw coming off.
‘If I leave it any longer, the door will really break.’
Kim Kang-han jumped up and opened the door.
Outside was a woman in her early twenties wearing boxing gloves and sweatpants.
“who are you?”
“who? Do you not even recognize your younger brother Oh Han-byeol anymore?”
“Your brother? you?”
“ha… … . get out of the way Stop talking bullsh*t.”
Swish, the woman who said it was her sister entered the room.
“And you, I’ve called you several times, but why haven’t you answered all of them?”
“uh?”
“… … Didn’t you check your phone?”
“What phone?”
“Haa, I’m sick when I talk to you.”
Little sister sighs.
Did you make a lot of calls?
Kim Kang-han opened his smartphone.
-Missed call: b*tch (39)
‘This is why I didn’t recognize… … .’
When I searched, it was thoroughly blocked from the call sound blocking to the messenger setting.
I couldn’t contact him until now, so he must have come to me in person.
“I couldn’t get it because I was busy these days. Something happened that I need to focus on… … .”
“If you look at it, that bastard’s streamer would do something.”
“A streamer?”
“You say you’re broadcasting, aren’t you?”
Judging by the sarcastic tone, it didn’t seem like a good relationship.
‘Anyway, Oh Jin-hwan must have been interested in broadcasting streaming.’
In the novel, Oh Jin-hwan was a vicious business owner.
It just exploits users.
It was a side that I didn’t notice because the story related to the broadcast never came out.
“I’m not interested anymore, that kind of thing.”
Kim Kang-han said while changing the phone book settings.
At that moment, Oh Han-byeol’s vicious words flew in.
“Then it should be. My mother also collapsed because of that, but if I held on to it for more broadcasting there, I would have really punched it first.”
“… … .”
It seems that Oh Jin-hwan was more human trash than I thought.
While Kim Kang-han paused.
Hanbyul Oh, who was looking around the room, sighed.
“Hey, what is this all about? It’s not even a pig pen.”
Woodangtang, Oh Han-byeol who immediately cleans up the trash and sweeps the dust in the house.
After cleaning the house in an instant, I casually brought side dishes and a bag of rice from somewhere.
“Kimchi, this is Kkakdugi, this is mustard kimchi, this is Chwinamul and bracken, and… … .”
“Wait a minute, why did you do this to me… … .”
“I’m here for my mom, so could you please shut up?”
Oh Han-byeol, who was setting side dishes, glanced at Kim Kang-han’s body and said,
“I feel pretty good. Do you exercise?”
“Just sometimes after work.”
“Well, after looking at it for a long time, there is a change in appearance.”
Hanbyeol Oh got up and headed for the front door.
Kim Kang-han asked.
“rice is?”
“ate. Even if I hadn’t eaten, I would rather bite my tongue and die than be sick with a guy like you.”
Oh Han-byeol disappeared with those words.
Kim Kang-han, who was left alone, stayed in a daze and regained his consciousness.
“Come to think of it, Oh Jin-hwan’s family was there.”
A family that was never depicted in the original novel.
Because of that, I didn’t think much of them either, but my thoughts changed after just a while.
‘This is a variable.’
Since Oh Jin-hwan was completely broken by Flush, the future of his family probably didn’t go too well.
It was then.
As if Kim Kang-han’s idea was the correct answer, a message appeared.
[Gahwamansaseong]
– Oh Jin-hwan and his family are not very close. Repair family relationships that were on the brink of collapse.
-Reward: Insight
‘I have a lot of work to do.’
Kim Kang-han sighed and took out rice and side dishes instead of ramen.
“… … .”
I hate to admit it.
Kimchi was quite tasty.
