156 – [3] Food Ingredients
#156
I am the owner of the book.
But the book is a kind of hidden element.
I actually got that book when I was in high school.
You may be asking how this happened.
But I never turned on a cheat and suddenly created a book.
If there was such a thing, I would have used it a long time ago and been lying around like an unemployed person.
This has always been something I spent time and money on.
“Actually, it didn’t cost that much.”
The situation of a stranger who fell into the world of the game.
There was no reason to let go of the hidden elements in the game in the first place.
So, I tried to work in various ways to obtain hidden elements.
I entrusted requests to hunters, looked around online auction houses, and even sent agents to places where I thought there might be something.
Although a lot of money was tied up as investment money, I couldn’t use it.
Anyway, I tried to gather as many hidden elements as I could.
And everything didn’t work out.
To be precise, I collected it at best, but there were too many cases where it was useless or ambiguous, perhaps due to timing issues.
A solution that extends the lifespan of worn-out tools to a certain extent.
Something like a 3-day magic potion that creates incredibly strong words.
A handkerchief that can be hung on glass, etc. For a long time to prevent fogging.
A mysterious pill that will permanently increase your agility at the cost of your stomach health if you drink it.
The interesting thing was that even though this was the case in reality, they were all useful items in the game in their own way.
Most of them had additional effects that increased the stats or performance of the equipment.
Fantasy version WD-40 solution is an item in the game that immediately restores the durability of equipment to 100%.
A drug that may be popular in any pony club is an item in the game that is used to quickly travel to a long distance.
A glasses wipe disguised as a handkerchief is an item in the game that greatly increases cold resistance and heat resistance just by wearing it.
Doping drugs for unmatched speed are simply things in the game that increase agility at the cost of stamina.
The difference between reality and the game was so big.
Wearing a handkerchief around your neck did not dramatically increase your resistance.
There was no such thing as drinking a mysterious doping drug and running fast.
Rather, as written in the warning, it was fortunate not to have to go to the bathroom regularly due to the deterioration of sphincter health.
– ‘Oh, what is it? Is the auction a huge success? After all, the answer was to remove the warning sticker that was originally attached.’
So they didn’t eat it and sold it at a very high price.
I remember that an S-class hunter in the U.S. Purchased it, and it was truly a pitiful thing.
In this way, reality was subtly different from the game.
In the game, you don’t have to think about going to the bathroom, but in real life, you have to think about going to the bathroom after eating something wrong.
It is no exaggeration to say that this was a truly terrible thing for humans.
The good news was that not all hidden elements were just empty cans.
That’s why they didn’t sell other items at random.
We always sold only products that had problems, and the effects of those products were only good.
I ate consumable items that had no side effects but had poor performance or were manageable, either by myself or shared with a thousand animals.
Also, unlike consumable items, weapons and armor had a clear visible effect on average.
This was especially true in terms of performance and appearance.
– ‘It seems good, but it’s not my taste…’ … There’s too much precious metal on it…… The size is close to the average size of Charelthea… ….’
I just don’t use it because it’s too flashy, doesn’t fit my body size, and is too inconvenient to handle and maintain.
Of course, I tended to do that because I used good equipment for the first time and used it for too long.
The selection of equipment here was often a matter of taste.
But apart from taste, I kept getting caught up in management aspects.
– “Kang Si, do you know what? “A 3D printer sword just doesn’t need much maintenance?”
– “Huh? “What do you mean you don’t need to manage it?”
– “If the sword breaks, you can just get a new one. “Like this.”
– “…… Isn’t it such a waste? “I think it would be a waste to think about the cost of materials that go into each time you pick one out.”
– “Material cost? “Unless you use an excessive blueprint, the cost of 3D printer equipment is under 100,000 won.”
Wow! Equipment is cheaper than chicken!
My sword was the weapon that achieved this kind of performance at a price of 5 to 6 soups.
For this reason, the weapon that wanted to welcome me as its owner had to beat the chicken first.
There were no particular performance issues with my weapon in the current situation.
There were no inconveniences, perhaps due to the accumulated training and practical experience.
The problem was always the lack of magical power, which was directly related to the battle time.
That’s why I’m trying to eat this grain somehow.
Truuru─♪
“Ah, aunt. This is Xian. “I have a question. Have you organized the newly purchased warehouse?”
The story went back and forth for a moment.
In any case, this collection of useless purchases of mine was not originally stored in the current warehouse.
Houses near my house that I bought as speculation before moving.
That was originally the place where the items were stored.
This meant one fact.
Some of the items that were delayed in transport a few months ago due to some idiot’s fuss are a hidden element that I have.
Thankfully, there were no lost or damaged parts.
Afterwards, I moved hidden items and various documents to a warehouse near the house I moved to.
For reference, the new warehouse was strictly my land, not my aunt’s or Cheonma’s land.
“Oh, what kind of warehouse is this? The one in front of my aunt’s house…… There is a building that looks like a new warehouse, right? “It’s very big, the roof is turquoise, there are no windows, and the electronic door locks are tightly attached.”

Hidden elements that I have saved since my high school days to somehow grow.
Even though it didn’t help much with what I was aiming for, my decision to collect it was never wrong.
Someday something to write about will come, let’s be satisfied with the current level and wait, and anyway, the hidden elements that are not good in the current situation are enough.
And who would have thought that after all that waiting, something so appropriate would come up.
I was thinking of putting some of my efforts to good use.
I had no intention of missing this opportunity.
“Ah, then I have a favor to ask you. “Can you listen?”
But it would be nice if we could use other items that are piled up like trash.
Is that going to be difficult?
* * *
The few days passed by like the wind.
And finally the moment I had been waiting for came.
“Ah, thank you~”
The arrival of a package sent by my aunt.
However, something bad had happened and the condition of the delivery was not very good.
There were dents here and there, and there were even traces of drinking water.
I was worried about the internal condition in many ways.
“Did the United States Postal Service (USPS) intervene? “What is it?”
That’s why I opened the package right away.
Soon, an item was revealed wrapped in a black bag that looked like something you would only see on the market floor.
“Oh…… Fortunately, he’s fine.’
When I took out the contents of the bag, I found something that looked like a thin book.
It was full of yellow traces, indicating that it should be treated as a cultural property.
Also, there was something written on top, but it was in Charelletea so I couldn’t read it.
Of course, it wasn’t that there was no way to read it.
I went straight to my room and put on the translation glasses I had prepared.
It was a bit dizzy, but not to the point where I couldn’t even read a thin book.
[How to safely turn a piece of divinity into powder]
I unfolded it right away.
I read it very thoroughly from beginning to end.
“… ….”
I turned on my laptop and copied down all the information.
It may seem like it is simply being recorded somewhere else, but that is not necessarily the case.
It was also a way to think about it by reading it again.
The moment I transferred all the contents like that, I let out a deep sigh.
“We need to find rare Chareltea ingredients…” … ? “It’s not even an earth food ingredient?”
None of the ingredients recorded in my head were ingredients from the earth.
No, actually, it was natural.
Because this is the recipe that originally came from Shareltea.
It was inevitable because it was written when there was no interaction with the Earth.
Because of this, it feels like you have to travel around a lot to get ingredients.
Maybe you should wander around Chareltea or look around the city market while disguised─
“Wait a minute, is this coming up on the auction house?”
I confirmed it right away.
Luckily, as it is a place where ‘almost’ everything in the world comes and goes, there were a lot of ingredients from Chareltea.
“Let’s see…… Dog cabbage leaves and Pyrite Avocado seeds…… Evil star apple? What is this?”
Anyway, I was able to obtain most of the ingredients.
And the word most did not mean all.
“Write…… There’s something missing…….”
Some were sold out or did not exist at all.
I looked through other sites just in case, but it was the same.
I felt like the Internet alone would have its limitations.
A sigh flowed from my mouth.
In the end, the delusion that I would have to go on a long journey to find it swirled around my head.
However, this soon disappeared.
I openly asked the search engine-based AI chatbot just in case.
Honestly, it wasn’t a good way, but there was no other way in the current situation.
[It is highly likely that these items are related to illegal matters. Therefore, we will refuse to respond in accordance with the Terms of Use.]
Illegal matter.
Materials that must be obtained through unusual routes.
If you really want an AI chatbot, you may be able to get an answer by going through the terms of use.
But it didn’t seem necessary.
“Black market?”
A place where all the ‘real’ things in the world come from.
If there is a problem, it is dangerous and there is no quality guarantee.

In the shadows, the marketplace of dark hunters came to mind.
