71 – The Age of Great Gacha (2)
Kim Hyunwoo, who had obtained the blueprint of a low-tier explorer’s magnifying glass, immediately headed to the forge within the territory as soon as the blueprint came into his hands.
“…Lord?”
Ralph, who looked puzzled as Kim Hyunwoo entered the forge, but that lasted only for a moment.
“Do you think you can make this? Specifically, it would be great if you could create the circular part on top. I’d like around 50 of them made roughly. What do you think?”
Upon Kim Hyunwoo’s continued words, Ralph looked at the blueprint with a face of curiosity and skepticism.
“…I believe I can make it quickly, considering the scale.”
“Well then, sorry, but please do. Once all the items are made, send them up to the office.”
“Yes.”
Kim Hyun-woo, after leaving the blacksmith, headed to the timber processing plant and spoke to Yeong Ji-min, who was now running the woodwork shop.
“Can you make this staff?”
“Um… yes. I think I can make it fairly quickly.”
“Is that so? Then make about 50 of them and bring them to my study. But remember, they must be made exactly to the specifications in the design.”
“I will do as you command. I will start working on it right away since it’s the task you’ve entrusted to me…!”
After nodding as if understanding the lower part of the blueprint, the woodworker immediately moved his body and got to work.
Seeing this, Kim Hyun-woo also moved on, this time heading towards the site of the tower.
“Hmm? Aren’t you Lord Yeong?”
As Kim Hyun-woo walked towards the tower site, the mage of the tower greeted him with a slight nod, as if he had been waiting.
Recalling their previous encounter when he had come to erect a building at the tower site a week ago, Kim Hyun-woo nodded in return and asked, “Could I possibly obtain some magic water?”
“Magic water?”
“Yes. I don’t need a lot right now, just around five bottles.”
“Well, I do have some magic water, as it’s necessary when drawing magic circles, but…”
The mage looked at Kim Hyun-woo with a puzzled expression. He knew that magic water wasn’t a big necessity for anyone other than a mage.
“If it’s about five bottles, I can give them to you for about five silver coins.”
Perplexed, the mage soon nodded and agreed. Kim Hyun-woo then promptly purchased the magic water and returned to his study.
“I have all the materials now. I’ll just have to wait for the remaining ones to arrive.”
As Kim Hyun-woo looked over the blueprint for the novice adventurer’s magnifying glass, he unknowingly wore a strange expression mixed with emotions.
It was no wonder that Kim Hyun-woo, who had cursed and suffered from the trashy and deadly BM, didn’t expect to end up doing it himself.
“Of course, to commercialize this, it will require several processes.”
Various problems came to Kim Hyun-woo’s mind.
Ultimately, since this was also a business, there were certainly things to be concerned about.
But Kim Hyun-woo soon shrugged his shoulders.
In fact, more important than the problems coming to mind right now was the fact that there was one thing that could only be properly understood by making a magnifying glass using the blueprint.
“First, if that works out as I think, it will be a big hit.”
As Kim Hyun-woo was thinking this, he was waiting for the materials to be quickly made, and was about to check the information window when ＜＞
A ★★★ Hero, “Witch of Gold Coins,” has entered the territory.
[The top-ranked ‘Tinus’ has arrived in the territory!]
Tinus’ top has arrived.

For the past two weeks, the Red Salamander, Adria, had seriously pondered as she traveled to neighboring territories.
More precisely, she had been contemplating what topics to discuss with her master.
In fact, someone observing her dilemma might find it absurd.
After all, conversing with others didn’t require so much thought, and if she had led a normal social life, she wouldn’t have had such concerns.
Yes, if she had led a normal social life.
…The Red Salamander had never had the basic experience of leading a social life.
The reason lies in the scarlet Salamander’s tumultuous past.
From the very beginning, she was born as a half-human, half-dragon, destined to die.
Her father, the Red Dragon, viewed her, a mere hybrid, as a nuisance. He had contemplated killing her once his ailing wife had passed and his indulgent pastime concluded.
Of course, she was oblivious to why her father intended to kill her.
She merely heard those words.
So, at a young age, she fled her home secretly, escaping the impending death. Unskilled in magic, never properly educated by her father, she wandered the world until she was claimed by her master, who bestowed upon her everything she lacked.
…Of course, after being claimed by her master, she found herself thrust into situations where she could develop social skills.
The Lartania Territory, operated by her master, was filled with numerous heroes and residents loyal to the master.
Unfortunately, social skills, no matter the situation, require personal initiative. Despite ample opportunities, she failed to cultivate them.
No, it’s more accurate to say she never bothered.
From the beginning, she rarely engaged in conversations with anyone other than her master. When not conversing, she spent her time blankly observing her master.
Certainly, others approached her, but to the scarlet Salamander, anything other than her master held no significance. She consistently dismissed others with unwavering indifference.
In essence, she severed the opportunity to develop social skills.
Thanks to that, the dragon was earnestly contemplating something.
Adria did suggest trying to casually engage in conversation with her, just like before, but as a dragon, that was an option she could never choose.
Although memories of their conversation ten years ago were somewhat hazy, forcing herself to recall revealed that during that time, she mostly vented her frustrations rather than engaging in normal conversation.
Even though she lacked social skills, her intelligence wasn’t lacking. Understanding that this was no time for such conversations, she pondered earnestly.
A topic that men like.
A topic that any man would inevitably like.
Yet, it wasn’t about getting a subtle response, but rather needing a definite topic.
She had to carefully consider the topic, as if she threw out a strange one and Kim Hyunwoo’s response was strange, her mental state could shatter right there.
So, after much deliberation and consideration, the result.
[Why don’t you try throwing out the topic you’ve been thinking about!]
She heard Adriana’s subconscious voice, as if she was quietly cheering her on.
“It’s been a while, Lord Sangdan. It’s been… a little over two weeks, hasn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s been… about 2 weeks.”
“Yes, recently, it seems like you’ve been wandering around this area quite often. You mentioned that you rarely stay in one place for long and tend to travel long distances to different territories, didn’t you?”
“Ah, y-yes.”
“Oh, of course, I’m not saying anything to you, Lord Sangdan. I just thought it would be nice if Lord Tinius continued to visit our territory.”
She saw Kim Hyunwoo speaking with a light laugh.
“Th-that… my lord.”
“Yes?”
As she looked at Kim Hyunwoo’s response, she momentarily panicked.
Well, strictly speaking, it wasn’t panic, but rather anxiety.
Really, what if he reacts seriously to the topic she brought up? Without realizing it, she began vividly imagining the future that had not yet happened.
However, with just that one fact coming to mind, she thought to herself, ‘Maybe, maybe he prefers something else? Would he prefer something else? Maybe it’s better to be more certain rather than asking foolish questions about liking things and colors after giving him something he likes-‘
In an instant, it broke down.
In the state of breakdown, she quickly turned her head and began searching for a provocative topic that the man would like.
And.
“By any chance. Do-“
“?”
“Do you like s*x?”
“…Yes????”
From Noble mtl dot com
[Yes???????]
As the words emerged provocatively from Yong’s mouth, causing Kim Hyunwoo and Adria’s minds to spin.
“????????”
“????????”
Outside, in the midst of a heated debate on whether the Dark Sovereign and Merilda, concealing their identities as artifacts, would engage in a 20th consecutive mid-air somersault with DoGeza or not, they gazed at the Lord’s Castle with profound vitality.
Down bad
Straight to the Point 🤣🤣
lmao 🤣
