Chapter 169: Treasure (2)

The treasure of the sea.

A substance formed when a sperm whale’s excrement or stomach stones transform over time.

Ambergris.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary stone, but as the nickname “treasure of the sea” suggests, it possesses extraordinary value.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Where I came from, a single kilogram could sell for 40 to 50 million won, and since the pieces were usually large, many were worth hundreds of millions.

Rather.

If even the ambergris of an ordinary whale was worth that much, what about the ambergris of a Celestial Whale, a mythical creature?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

It was impossible to put a price on it.

Not only because scholars would want to study it carefully, but because it came from a mythological existence.

It was an item that couldn’t even be sold.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

And it was equally impossible to predict the amount of criticism anyone would receive for trying to sell it.

ㄴAllFather: We’ll need more research to know for certain, but for now, yes. album Since it’s ambergris from a Celestial Whale, it likely contains some special power.

ㄴWildGrills: Even if it’s priceless, its use is still basically as a fragrance, right?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴAllFather: Rather than that, it would probably be related to the properties of the Celestial Whale. afford Perhaps it possesses extraordinary purification abilities.

The possibility of it having purification powers made me reconsider.

Even if it really did, I had no idea where I would use them.

ㄴWildGrills: The ability to attract ants?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

‘I can’t just leave it sitting around forever, either.’

Even though I had a spatial storage backpack, it still had weight, and the space wasn’t infinite.

And who knew what other abilities it might hide, but discovering them would take a long time.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

It was undoubtedly a valuable and extraordinary object.

The irony of the situation drew a bitter laugh from me before I decided that, for now, the best course of action was figuring out what to do with it.

But it was useless to me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴSunForEver: Couldn’t you at least give me a little?

ㄴWildGrills: I’ll think about it carefully. artist Even if I wanted to get rid of it, I wouldn’t know where to do it.

ㄴWildGrills: Do you know how to use it?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴSunForEver: I want to use it as a fragrance. agent I’m genuinely curious. wizard Is there anything you’d like in return?

ㄴGood idea. portal It’s not like it’s useful to you anyway.

ㄴWildGrills: Not really. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com adapt I’ll give you a small piece. autumn But be careful not to attract insects.

ㄴGrills, why don’t you cut it into pieces and put it up in the auction house?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

I still had plenty of time.

ㄴWildGrills: Not for now. shadow I want to run a few experiments first.

Besides, there was something I wanted to test.

There was no need to rush.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

If ants were attracted to it.

Wouldn’t fish react the same way?

An idea that came to me after seeing the ants attracted to the ambergris.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

If AllFather saw it, he’d probably beat the ground in despair, but I didn’t care.

ㄴAllFather: You’re going to use ambergris as fishing bait? riddle That sounds incredibly stupid, but I’m also very curious.

At first glance, it sounded ridiculous, but you never know.

ㄴYeah lol. antenna Who the hell fishes with whale poop? hahaha.

ㄴAllFather: I already received a sample, didn’t I? avalanche Besides, I’m curious too. shadow What kind of fish could be caught with that? afford I’m sure everyone else is thinking the same thing.

ㄴWildGrills: I’m surprised you’re not angry. abstract I thought you’d consider it a waste.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴLMAO that was brutal hahaha.

ㄴWhat kind of life is Grills living?

ㄴThe life of a fly?

ㄴAnd it’s not even normal whale poop. accent It’s mythical whale poop lmao.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

I guess it was only natural.

Surprisingly, everyone seemed interested.

ㄴBrutal? apple He’s literally living a fly’s life lol.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

It appeared to be made of bamboo and had no reel for adjusting the line length.

After all, nobody else could do something like this.

I carefully examined the fishing rod they had sent me as sponsorship.

I supposed the technological limitations of the era were unavoidable.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

WildGrills

Title) I’m going fishing

Still, it looked sturdy, and that was enough.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

What do you think I’ll get?

ㄴHeavenlyDemon: If this humble one had to guess, I’d say you’ll catch a gigantic fish.

I’m going to use this as bait and see what I catch.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWell, if he didn’t, he would’ve gone insane by now…

ㄴSwordmaster: I like looking at the bright side of things.

ㄴSwordmaster: You’re probably the only person in the world using whale poop as bait.

ㄴWildGrills: Was that a compliment?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴNow that I think about it, Grills’ life is kind of pitiful.

ㄴIf I were in his place, I would’ve lost my mind a long time ago…

I’ll never understand the flow of this gallery.

One moment they’re making fun of me, and the next they’re pitying me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

I closed the gallery and headed to the river with my animal companions.

Whoooooosh!

First, I removed the fish traps and checked the condition of the water.

Nothing had changed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Just in case, I also sprayed insect repellent around the area to prevent bugs from showing up.

Since I didn’t see anything unusual, I immediately prepared for fishing.

And the others?

A vast desert still stretched across the opposite side of the river.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

I gave Wonmo a puppy-shaped doll.

“Kyuuu!”

“Wonmo, play with this.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

And judging by how entertained he was while playing with it, it seemed to be true.

Someone might wonder why I had something like that, but it was another sponsored item.

“And you, Lackey. riddle If a fish bites the hook, you’re going to help me pull the rod. ability Understood?”

According to what they told me, it was made from a fabric especially loved by animals.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

“Answer me.”

“……”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Everything was ready.

“Yes.”

It was decided that Lackey would help me pull the fishing rod.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Even before using it, it gave off a pleasant fragrance.

Now I completely understood why it was used as perfume.

I tied a piece of ambergris to the hook.

‘It’s amazing that something that comes from poop smells this good.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

The hook landed in the river.

Smiling, I cast the line with all my strength.

Splash!

With the current being so strong, I thought it would simply be swept away.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

An absurd number of fish rushed toward the bait.

Splash splash splash splash!

But I was wrong.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Startled, I shouted for Lackey to pull. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

He obeyed immediately.

And the rod instantly became heavy.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

“GRAAAAAAH!”

Maybe because several fish had gotten tangled at the same time.

Or maybe because they were exceptionally strong creatures.

But the rod barely moved.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

The two of us pulled with all our might.

“UOOOOOOOH!”

However, when Lackey and I combined our strength, it was a different story.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

For a moment, I got excited, thinking I had caught something impressive.

As a result, a huge fish was launched out of the water.

SPLAAASH!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

But the disappointment came immediately.

“Huh? artist That’s it?”

It seemed ambergris would work better as a lure to attract fish than as actual fishing bait.

The fish I had pulled out of the water was no different from the ones I caught with traps.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Suppressing my disappointment, I began gathering my things.

‘It’s not useless as bait, but…’

Still, at least I had managed to secure food for the day.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Even without bait, the traps caught fish on their own.

It felt like an excessive waste.

How should I put it?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

I handed the still-struggling fish to Kobongi and returned to the shelter.

I wondered whether it was really worth using ambergris for that.

Well, maybe AllFather would discover other properties while studying it.

Normally it should have already been getting dark, but the sun was still shining brightly. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

‘It must be because it’s summer, but the days are much longer.’

Even so, I appreciated having more hours of activity during the summer.

Of course, that would change once the rainy season arrived.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Even for AllFather, it was the first time seeing something like this.

It surely had some special characteristic.

‘I wonder when the ambergris research will be finished.’

And on top of that, it came from a mythical creature.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Many insects like sweet things, not just ants.

But to find out what it was, all I could do was wait.

‘Though why did the ants want to carry it away? august Was it really just because of the scent?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps the ants had claimed it first, which was why no other insects or animals approached it.

My gaze landed on the cave wall.

While I was thinking about nonsense, I turned my head.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

The wall where I had marked my survival days.

Surprisingly, time had passed quickly.

In three more days, it would be exactly one month.

‘Today is day twenty-six?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

I could still only learn about the outside world through the Gallery, but the situation was far from calm.

As for me, the only thing I wanted was to meet Ludwig, who had to be somewhere within the Forest of Four Seasons.

Eldorado was slowly descending into civil war.

And the Blood Cult was also showing troubling movements.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Since I didn’t have anything better to do, I entered the Gallery.

‘Come to think of it, wasn’t the football match today?’

Right then, DemonPrincess had posted a message announcing the start of the matches.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

I entered the thread and left a brief comment.

ㄴDemonPrincess: The Saint has arriveddd! legend Today’s opponent is a mid-table teammmm! ability What score do you think it’ll beee?

ㄴWildGrills: How strong is today’s opponent exactly?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills: Their defense is still a disaster, so I’ll say 3-2.

ㄴWildGrills: You’ll be leading 1-0, but because of poor stamina they’ll equalize at the end.

ㄴDemonPrincess: That makes me nervousss…! academy But at least we win, so I’m relieved!

ㄴKingLeor: Hey, what about Leor? armor We’re playing a weak team today.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴKingLeor: Now that you mention it, that makes sense. harbor We absolutely have to sign him next time;

ㄴKingLeor: Ahh, the stamina problem again… ;; Shouldn’t they have recovered after resting for a week?

ㄴWildGrills: I’ve done hard labor, so I know. atlas Once fatigue accumulates, it doesn’t disappear in a week; it takes over a month. avalanche Besides, football players spend even their free time training, don’t they?

ㄴDoes Leor have that much money?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴHonestly, I have expectations since they changed coaches. abandon The new coach understands tactics well.

ㄴWhat about Chayu?

ㄴMore than money, the coach is changing next season. agent We’ll have to see what happens then.

ㄴBasically means there won’t be any signings lol.

ㄴDemonPrincess: Next season we only need to strengthen the defenseee! avalanche And throw that useless billion-yura player into the trashhh!

ㄴIsn’t that a bit harsh? lol

ㄴBut judging by how he still plays, he simply isn’t good enough.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴOkay, the defensive line is way too high, but that idiot…

After making my predictions, I quietly waited.

ㄴFr lol. autumn Even Kone revived his career, and what about that guy?

Since the match would take quite a while to finish, I decided to practice my energy circulation technique.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

As time passed, my mastery over the cold had improved tremendously.

‘My control over the cold has already reached the size of a fist.’

What had once been no larger than a grain was now as big as a fist.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

Maybe the best time would be when exactly thirty days had passed.

Furthermore, its growth rate was gradually slowing down, which made me think perfection was near.

‘Once I completely master the cold, I’ll ask HeavenlyDemon to teach me the next verse of the technique.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

It was almost dinner time as well.

Then I entered the Gallery again.

While waiting for the matches to end, I continued practicing and doing my chores.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

[Chayu vs Cadrol: Full Time! acquire Just as the Saint prophesied, Chayu wins 3-2!]

“Oh?”

[Leor vs Hoonin: Draw after a stoppage-time equalizer!]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

I had gotten it right again.

Once or twice could be a coincidence.

And not just the result.

The score and even the way it happened.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴPlease make me marry my girlfriend.

ㄴDemonPrincess: Everyone say ittt! abandon Mister Grills is a Saiiiint!

But getting it right three times in a row felt strange.

ㄴDemonPrincess: What the hell is wrong with youuu?! arctic Get out of hereee! acoustic You barely managed a drawww! ㅋ

ㄴPlease let me score 100 on the academy exams.

ㄴPlease make the next six months go amazingly for me.

ㄴKingLeor: Please make Chayu get relegated. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴKingLeor: And you’re going to the Champions League? ㅋ

And, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, pilgrimages to the holy site began.

ㄴDemonPrincess: If we win every remaining match, yes we areaa~!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

There were some messages from people saying they had gotten rich through betting, but I ignored them.

My survival was.

Smiling at the Gallery being completely stirred up by the matches, I closed it.

In the end, money wasn’t what mattered.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

And just as I stepped outside.

I saw something impossible.

Glub— Glub—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

‘…What the hell? abandon Is this a bug?’

It was swimming through the air.

The fish I had caught with the fishing rod just a short while ago.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 169: Treasure (2) by Indra Translations.

What an absurd world.
