‘It’s like anything goes···.’
In the end, even something like this came out.
Minhyuk examined her autograph in detail once more.
‘Is it real?’
Up until now, there had been many strange items that came out of the refrigerator, but there had never been a fake.
The bundle of 50,000 won bills wasn’t counterfeit money, it was real.
So there was a high probability that this was also her real autograph.
Minhyuk searched the internet for her recent activities.
She had retired a long time ago, got married, had children, and was living well.
Hmm-
He didn’t have any acquaintances in the adult content industry, and if he suddenly went to her and asked for a large number of autographs, what would happen?
If she simply refused, he’d be lucky, but if he was unlucky, he could be mistaken for a crazy stalker and reported.
He had never been taken to the police station in his life, and he didn’t want to visit a Japanese police station when he wasn’t even in Korea.
In fact, it didn’t even have to go that far.
Minhyuk didn’t even know where she lived, and he didn’t have the time to go to Japan.
So getting a large number of her autographs was realistically impossible.
Just like he had given up on the Fucaria berries because they were 5.56mm bullets, it would be wise to give up on this quickly.
‘But.’
Before giving up on a whim, he needed to think about it from a different perspective.
Putting aside the emotional aspect of it being a handwritten signature, let’s just think about it purely physically.
The technical aspects required to produce banknotes and celebrity autographs are completely different.

The 50,000 won bill was a product of complex technology, with various cutting-edge technologies applied to prevent counterfeiting.
On the other hand, her autograph was simply black ink scribbled on white paper.
In the case of the eggs, regardless of the breed or size, they all turned into the same red top-grade potion.
The AA batteries also all turned into the same green mid-grade potion, regardless of the manufacturer.
So if he used black ink on A4 paper to draw her autograph exactly, it might turn into armor.
Hmm-
It seemed like it could work, but it also seemed like it couldn’t, and it seemed like it couldn’t work, but it also seemed like it could.
The famous catchphrase of the founding chairman of a certain Korean company came to Minhyuk’s mind.
＜Have you tried it?＞
No one knows if it will work until they try it, just as he said.
“Let’s try it!”
Boom-
Minhyuk drove the truck to the nearest subway station from his house.
There was a Nonghyup Mart and various other stores there.
He had to go there first to try anything.
Because there was nothing at home.
He drove for about 10 minutes and arrived at the subway station.
There was no place to park a truck on the road where the convenience facilities were gathered.
So he found a quiet place to park and walked a little to the downtown area.
Big cars are good, but this part isn’t.
The sign of a stationery store caught his eye over there.
＜Audrey Stationery＞
＜Copy/Coating＞
For now, he planned to copy her autograph.
If he succeeded, he could easily supply a large number of armors to the soldiers.
Jingle-
He opened the door of the stationery store and went inside.
“Welcome.”
The owner greeted Minhyuk.
She was an old lady.
This was very fortunate for Minhyuk.
Surely the stationery store owner wouldn’t know her name.
“I’d like to copy this.”
“Here you go.”
The old lady took the original and put it in the copier after checking only the front and back without examining it in detail.
This was also a relief to Minhyuk.
“How many copies would you like?”
“Just one for now.”
He was going to check if it worked or not first.
Swish-
A copy came out in an instant.
The old lady handed the original and the copy to Minhyuk and asked.
“Whose autograph is this? It’s written in English and Chinese characters.”
She seemed not to have looked at it carefully, but in fact, she had seen it all.
“That’s… a famous Japanese figure skater.”
He couldn’t tell the truth, so he just made something up.
“Really? Is there a Japanese figure skater with that name? Oh…”
“How much is it?”
Minhyuk hurriedly paid and went out of the stationery store.
Even if the copy turned into armor, I would never come back here to copy again.
‘It’s better to buy a copy machine.’
Minhyuk returned to the truck.
And put the copy in the refrigerator.
“Return.”
BAM-
With a dazzling flash, Minhyuk returned to the commander’s barracks.
And checked the inventory.
However, unlike his expectations, it was completely different.
＜Turan Perch Scale＞
-Scales of the perch inhabiting the Turan region
-Can be burned to powder and used as an alchemy ingredient.
It was a failure.
But it was too early to give up.
Since I started the experiment anyway, I need to approach it a little more delicately.
A4 paper is just paper, maybe the ink was inadequate and caused the failure.
‘Maybe it didn’t work because it was toner.’
The copy machine at the stationery store used the toner printing method, which uses powdered ink.
Maybe it will work if it’s printed on an inkjet printer that uses liquid ink.
Minhyuk returned to the city.
In the distance, there was a PC bang sign on the 2nd floor of a building.
＜Super-fast Internet＞
＜Multifunction printer installed＞
Minhyuk went up to the PC bang.
A part-timer greeted Minhyuk.
“Welcome!”
“Is the multifunction printer here an inkjet?”
“We have both laser and inkjet.”
Minhyuk sat down at the seat where the inkjet multifunction printer was connected.
And looked around.
The other customers were all busy playing games.
Swish-
With quick dexterity, he inserted the original into the multifunction printer scanner.
And started printing.
It printed out very cleanly in high resolution.
Minhyuk took the original and the printout and immediately left the PC bang.
And returned to the truck and put the printout in the refrigerator.
“Return.”
BAM-
He returned to the commander’s barracks and checked the inventory.
＜Dry Grass from Hegel’s Meadow＞
-Dried grass that grows in the Hegel region.
-Can be mixed with animal droppings to make fertilizer.
This time too, it turned into something completely unexpected and useless to Minhyuk.
‘Let’s try one last experiment.’
Minhyuk went to a convenience store and bought A4 paper and a marker.
Then he sat in the driver’s seat of the truck and began to trace her signature.
Maybe if he used a pen instead of a copier, it would work.
After tracing about 20 sheets, he managed to draw something that looked quite similar.
Minhyuk put the best one in the refrigerator to check.
＜Golem’s Stone Crumbs＞
-Calluses that fell off the feet of a rock golem.
-Completely useless garbage.
This time, too, it was a failure.
There were no more experiments to try.
As expected, only her handwritten signature would turn into armor.
Along with the frustration, a sudden thought came to him.
‘What would happen if I put my signature in the refrigerator?’
Minhyuk wrote his signature in large letters on an A4 sheet of paper.
He put it in the refrigerator to see what it would turn into.
‘Huh?’
＜Steel Chastity Belt for Men＞
-An item that was once very popular among married women on the continent of Rania.
-For 10 times the price of the chastity belt, the creator would make a key without the wife’s knowledge.
Unlike the previous items, this was an artificial product, but it was just as useless.
By the way, I didn’t know they had one for men.
Anyway, the experiment was a failure.
‘Let’s move on to Plan B.’
He had prepared a countermeasure in case the armor became difficult to obtain in large quantities.
Minhyuk took a large object, about 80 cm in diameter, out of a wooden box in the barracks.
＜Magic Storage Disk (Low-Grade)＞
-A disk that can store magical effects.
-Can store up to three magical effects at a time.
It was a magical tool that he had borrowed from Barin.
It could not copy magical effects like a high-grade disk, but it could store them.
This disk was Barin’s number one treasure, but he had lent it to Minhyuk without hesitation.
In the past, the refrigerator was too small to fit the magic disk.
But now he could put the disk in the refrigerator and see what it would turn into.
If it turned into something easy to obtain, he wouldn’t have to borrow it in the future and could just get one for himself.
‘I’ll do that later.’
First, I will solve the problem with the armor.
Minhyuk placed the armor on the disk.
Then he brought a magic bead to the magic disk.
BAM-
Light burst out from the disk.
And the magic diagram engraved on the armor turned into light and floated into the air.
There were three types of magic contained in the armor.
Agility enhancement, automatic repair, automatic attachment and detachment.
The plan B that Minhyuk had planned was to remove one of the three magic effects of the armor and then put it in the refrigerator.
Perhaps doing so would turn the armor into an easily obtainable item.
‘What should I remove?’
First, Minhyuk moved the automatic attachment and detachment function to the disk.
Without that function, it would be inconvenient to put on and take off the armor, but it would not hinder combat at all.
And when moving as a group, it was not really necessary.
After all, the soldiers could help each other attach and detach the armor.
Anyway, a light version of the original armor was created with one magic effect omitted.
Minhyuk put the armor in his inventory.
“Return.”
BAM-
With a dazzling flash, he moved to the cargo bed of the truck.
And he opened the refrigerator.
hahahaha!
The armor had turned into a ping pong ball.
The light version of the ＜Metal Fire Curtain of the Wandering Star’s Armor＞ was a ping pong ball.
‘Perfect!’
Minhyuk ran to the city.
＜Far East Sporting Goods＞
There happened to be a store that sold sporting goods.
Minhyuk went into the store.
“Welcome!”
“Do you have ping pong balls?”
“Yes, what brand are you looking for?”
“The brand doesn’t matter, how many do you have in stock? I need a lot.”
The store manager checked the stock on his tablet.
“We have 500.”
He needed a lot more, but he could buy the rest at another store.
If there weren’t any in this neighborhood, he could go to Seoul to buy them.
“Give me all 500.”
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
The manager brought all the ping pong balls in stock from the warehouse.
Some were in boxes, and some were packed in bags of 100 like karaoke prawn crackers.
Even though there were 500 of them, they didn’t take up much space.
Minhyuk returned to the truck with the ping-pong ball.
And put everything in the refrigerator.
Only the ping-pong ball, which was his own armor, was kept separately.
He would later re-instill the automatic attachment and detachment effect.
The ping-pong ball would return to being her sign, a unique item.
“Return.”
BAM-
He returned to the commander’s barracks with a flash of light.
Minhyuk came outside.
If he opened his inventory inside the barracks, it might burst open, filled with armor.
Minhyuk stood in the middle of the open space.
“Inventory.”
BAM-
The armors poured out of the refrigerator.
Since one ping-pong ball expanded enormously into one set of armor, it took a long time for them to pour out.
The soldiers nearby were startled at the miraculous sight.
“Oh! My God!”
The princess and General Drake also ran over, sensing the commotion.
They were overjoyed at the sight of the Star Metal armors piled up like a mountain.
‘We’re saved! Asdel is now saved!’
Minhyuk, who had removed all the armor from the refrigerator, returned to the truck’s cargo bed.
Because he needed to buy more ping-pong balls.
‘It would be faster to just go to Seoul and buy them.’
But it was inconvenient to drive a 4.5-ton wing body just to buy something small like ping-pong balls.
Apart from the expensive gas, parking was too difficult.
He could take a taxi instead of the truck, but he didn’t want to leave the precious refrigerator behind.
That’s why he had acquired a house with an open space.
And he could only move to the other world by putting his hand on the refrigerator and saying return.
So he had to keep the refrigerator close by.
From Noble mtl dot com
That was when it happened.
Minhyuk’s eyes fell on the small refrigerator he had used before.
‘Could it be?’
Minhyuk put one hand on the large refrigerator and the other on the small refrigerator.
And said.
“Switch.”
ZAP-
He felt a current run through his body.
He immediately put his hand on only the small refrigerator and said.
“Return.”
BAM-
With a flash of light, Minhyeok returned to the fortress.
‘I can do that too!’
The mysterious power in the refrigerator returned to its original refrigerator.
Not only can it be upgraded, it can also be reverted to its previous state.
So, depending on the need, you can use a small refrigerator and a large refrigerator alternately.
‘Let’s get one more car.’
The small refrigerator will be loaded in a small car.
