Chapter 236: Quest (5)

It means that every child should take good care of the body inherited from their parents and not mistreat it.

There is a saying that goes.

“The body, hair, and skin are gifts from one’s parents.”

From ancient times to the present day, every parent’s greatest wish has always been for their children to grow up healthy.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

This culture of “filial piety” has been passed down since ancient times, though this tendency is even stronger in the Central Plains.

Why do so many men wear their hair long? zenith Is it because of that too?

Likewise, the death of a child, especially if it happens before the death of their parents, is considered the greatest act of unfilial behavior.

ㄴIf you get a tattoo, you’ll be showered with insults.

ㄴDo you think punishments like dismemberment exist by coincidence? attic To them, even a single strand of hair is precious.

ㄴYes. shadow That’s why decapitation is one of the worst punishments.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴNo, I was asking seriously. afford Why are you insulting me…?

ㄴShut up.

ㄴThen what about baldness? avalanche Isn’t that something you can’t avoid?

ㄴYou damned son of a…

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Especially with the existence of something as peculiar as the Gallery, where people end up accepting completely distorted interpretations without even realizing it.

However, as time passes, the original meaning often fades away and ends up being reinterpreted in strange ways.

The saying, “The body, hair, and skin are gifts from one’s parents,” was no exception.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Until it eventually reached a rather absurd level.

But at some point, people began interpreting it to mean that even a single strand of hair had to be treasured.

Originally, it meant that growing up healthy was the greatest act of filial piety a child could offer.

Title) Is being bald a crime in the Central Plains?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴLook at the guys from the Green Forest. autumn A lot of them have huge beards but completely bald heads.

I just want to shave my head already, but I feel like that’ll only make people look at me even worse.

Damn it, my father is bald, so I’m losing my hair because of genetics, and people have already started whispering about me.

Why are the Central Plains so strict toward bald people? amateur Would it be better if I moved to the West?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴBaldness is one of the two worst diseases in history.

ㄴI heard that an ancient emperor once smeared goat dung on his head to cure baldness.

ㄴYeah. matrix That’s why they’re much more concerned about hair loss treatments than the people of the Central Plains.

ㄴBut there are quite a few bald people in the West, aren’t there?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴThen what about Shaolin? anchor Everyone there is bald.

ㄴAnd what’s the other one?

ㄴDementia.

ㄴAh, absolutely true.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴI’ve heard people call a monk who committed a crime a “corrupt monk” or a “monk who broke his vows,” but never a “bald monk.”

ㄴDamn it.

ㄴThey’re monks. harbor You’re just an ordinary bald guy.

ㄴShaolin has always been somewhat outside mainstream society.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴBesides, almost no one becomes a monk because they’re bald. anchor Most shave their heads voluntarily.

Couldn’t it revive even dead hair follicles?

ㄴAnd who are you to say that?

ㄴNecromancyIsLove) I am Kazan, the Immortal King.

ㄴNecromancyIsLove) Impossible. amber Necromancy only moves the dead; it can’t bring them back to life.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴNot even the Immortal King could do anything about it. arena HAHAHA.

ㄴYeah. atom That’s why he’s wearing a crown in all his portraits.

ㄴDidn’t they say Kazan also suffered from baldness?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Since even the Central Plains had ended up twisting the original meaning, it wasn’t strange that baldness itself came to be regarded as a form of “unfilial behavior.”

ㄴNecromancyIsLove) Silence, insolent fool!

ㄴWhat if he fell into darkness because everyone in Eldorado made fun of him for being bald? august Lol.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

That stress, in turn, made hair loss even worse, creating a vicious cycle.

Combined with such a conservative way of life, it inevitably led to accumulating stress.

Title) How strange

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

So why do only humans suffer from baldness? alien Did they come from another world or something?

As for dwarves, as long as they have a thick beard, they don’t care. abstract Most of them lose their hair because of accidents at the forge.

Out of all the races, only humans suffer from baldness.

I’ve never heard of an elf or a demon going bald, and if a beastman starts losing his fur, it’s usually because of some other illness.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴNo, no, no. shadow Just think of them as a cursed race.

ㄴA scholar once said that humans are mixed-bloods by nature. crystal That’s why they’re the race with the most mixed blood.

ㄴTheir lower limit is already ridiculously low. agent I guess the same applies to their hair.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴIf they’re mixed-bloods, then why did they inherit the baldness gene?

ㄴBut there are quite a few bald demons too, aren’t there? august At least that’s what it looks like whenever I watch football broadcasts.

ㄴHahaha, seriously…

ㄴPrecisely because of that. absorb The other races eliminate that gene.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

ㄴNow that you mention it, with those faces and shaved heads, they really would look scary.

Especially among men.

ㄴMost of them shave their heads to look more intimidating. adapt Nearly all demons have terrifying faces.

Thus, baldness had become such a peculiar condition that it was even known as a “racial disease,” exclusive to humans.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

It could be prevented, but not cured.

Since ancient times, people had said that hair was one of a man’s greatest assets, and this single condition had made countless people suffer.

The problem was that it caused all kinds of social issues.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Some people even joked that whoever invented a cure would become the richest person in the world.

And even prevention did little more than slightly slow its progression.

‘To that extent?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Since the two of them lived almost completely isolated from society, it was only natural that they found it difficult to understand.

It was the same herb that Doctor Song had described as a miraculous herb, comparable even to the Elixir of Immortality.

HeavenlyDemon and Yoo Sowol looked at the medicinal herb they were holding with doubtful expressions.

‘Even if people say the body, hair, and skin are gifts from one’s parents, it’s still just hair in the end.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Only someone unfamiliar with that kind of suffering could say something like that.

Nowadays, the society of the Central Plains looked very unfavorably upon those who suffered from baldness.

At the same time, it showed just how open-minded she was.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

There were very few bald people among the inhabitants of the Central Plains.

The reason was simple.

They didn’t just mock them; they even pointed at them with contempt.

“Everyone else has a full head of hair, so why don’t you? aluminum Didn’t you take care of the hair you inherited from your parents?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Especially in a country as famous for its conservatism as the Central Plains.

The Gallery treated it as little more than a joke; most people pitied them. aluminum But the Central Plains were different—they discriminated against them.

But that’s how prejudice works.

To those who suffered from it, it was an incredibly unfair accusation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Yoo Sowol fell into deep thought.

‘If I could cultivate this herb, I could amass a fortune. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. ’

If she could cultivate that medicinal herb, she could earn unimaginable amounts of money.

Shaolin was an exception, of course, but only because its monks shaved their heads of their own free will.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

In other words, he intended to spread it as though it were an invention of HeavenlyDemon.

That all of this was a favor bestowed by HeavenlyDemon.

Moreover, her subordinate, Wi Seolak, had added one small lie.

Especially the West, where the proportion of people suffering from baldness was much higher than in the Central Plains.

If he did, not only the Central Plains, but the entire West would be profoundly influenced.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Doing that would be equivalent to betraying Grills, her benefactor.

Even if Grills allowed it, her own conscience would never accept it.

However, Yoo Sowol objected.

‘Absolutely not. portal I cannot deceive my benefactor.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

If it truly was such a miraculous herb, then all the recognition it brought should belong to Grills alone.

[WildGrills: Hello, HeavenlyDemon! matrix It’s about that time, so I wanted to ask if anything happened with the medicinal herb?]

It was precisely because Yoo Sowol was an upright person, in addition to being open-minded, that she was able to make that decision.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: In what way?]

As soon as she finished making up her mind, she received a message from Grills.

[HeavenlyDemon: It’s not that there’s a problem. amber Rather, I’d say it’s far too extraordinary.]

Since she always had the Gallery open, she was able to reply immediately.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Even Grills was completely astonished.

[WildGrills: Really? portal If that’s true, calling it a miracle is actually an understatement.]

[HeavenlyDemon: According to my subordinate and the physician, it’s a miraculous herb. atomic They say it can completely cure the condition known as baldness.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Seeing that reaction, Yoo Sowol took a lock of her own hair.

Ever since reaching the Profound Realm, her body had always remained in the best possible condition.

It was jet-black.

Soft, beautiful, and even captivating.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

‘What has always been ordinary to me may be a treasure to others.’

Even before that, however, she had already undergone multiple physical transformations, so her hair had never been damaged.

After that small realization, she replied immediately.

Now the question was what to do with that miraculous herb.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: If I accept it and spread it, everyone will believe the miracle was my doing. ability But that would be taking credit from the one who saved my life.]

[HeavenlyDemon: If it truly possesses such properties, I’d rather return it to you. airport I would like you to be the one to reveal it to the world.]

[WildGrills: Huh? arcade Why?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

If anything went wrong, even her identity as a registered user could end up being exposed.

[WildGrills: Thank you for saying that, but if you do that, couldn’t you get into trouble? amateur You already said the physician confirmed its effects.]

Grills pointed out the problem with remarkable insight.

The truth was that HeavenlyDemon had already thought about that.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Even if Doctor Song didn’t use the Gallery, an herb with such miraculous effects would inevitably become the talk of the town. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

[WildGrills: Either way, turning this into a medicine and distributing it will take quite a while. autumn Even if you returned it to me, it wouldn’t do me much good, so please keep it, HeavenlyDemon. acoustic That said, I’ll give you one condition so you can accept it without feeling guilty.]

And with that, sooner or later, the existence of the Gallery itself would also come to light.

[HeavenlyDemon: That is true. legend But I do not wish to turn the miracle you discovered into one of my own. acoustic I hope you can understand how I feel.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: I don’t like taking advantage of sick people.]

[HeavenlyDemon: Couldn’t you attract many more people by using this herb?]

Reading that firm reply, Yoo Sowol couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Although, naturally, she knew that wasn’t the case.

It was as though Grills were simply brushing aside an annoying task.

[HeavenlyDemon: Could it be that you also have hair problems…?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: I’m on the side of those with a full head of hair.]

[WildGrills: I mean I’m not bald.]

The reply was even firmer than the previous one.

[HeavenlyDemon: A full head of hair?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: In any case, objectively speaking, I don’t have the right conditions to cultivate that herb either. alpha Besides, I’ve been spending most of my time exploring lately.]

[HeavenlyDemon: Hmm.]

[WildGrills: And in the end, you’ll need help from people outside to distribute it anyway, won’t you? academy If you post it in the Gallery, it’ll sell immediately.]

[HeavenlyDemon: That makes sense. acoustic But not even I know how to cultivate it.]

[HeavenlyDemon: You intend for me to cultivate it personally?]

[WildGrills: Then try cultivating it yourself. absorb I’ll get you the soil.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

HeavenlyDemon smiled with satisfaction.

A reply filled with confidence.

[WildGrills: Yes. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. silence It’s actually pretty fun.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

One day, she would make sure the whole world knew that the true discoverer of that marvel was Grills.

Suddenly, all the worries she had been carrying until then seemed completely unnecessary.

Even so.

She didn’t want Grills to remain anonymous.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

That would be when everything began.

‘First, I’ll need to prepare a flowerpot.’

When the herb began to be distributed and its effects became widely known.

At that point, she would only need to discreetly connect it to the Forest of the Four Seasons for everyone’s attention to turn toward him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

He was already waiting outside the room, so he entered immediately.

With that in mind, Yoo Sowol called for Wi Seolak.

And while I am at it, a large one.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

“A… flowerpot?”

“I intend to cultivate this medicinal herb seriously.”

“You called for me, Heaven?”

“I need a flowerpot.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

It was still necessary to investigate possible side effects and other reactions, but just one of those plants would be enough to generate unimaginable wealth.

She said this while showing him the plant she was holding.

The moment Wi Seolak saw it, he cheered inwardly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

‘Since it’s an herb that came from the Forest of the Four Seasons, other than HeavenlyDemon, it will be extraordinarily difficult for anyone to cultivate it.’

And not only in the Central Plains.

It would also make it possible to expand trade to the West.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

However.

If he could, he would even replace every cultivated field just to grow that herb.

A plant like it had never been discovered before.

Wi Seolak was convinced that the herb came from Grills and the Forest of the Four Seasons.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

With that in mind, trying to cultivate it without preparation would be madness.

“Understood. acoustic What size flowerpot do you need?”

It was impossible to cultivate it by ordinary means, and it would probably consume an enormous amount of qi—or rather, mana.

The best course of action was to leave it in Yoo Sowol’s hands.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Yoo Sowol turned her gaze toward the window.

The room where she lived generally had a gloomy atmosphere.

“Hmm.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

It was the perfect place to grow plants.

However, plenty of sunlight came in.

“One that’s the right size to place beneath the window. abandon That will be enough.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Wi Seolak carried out the order immediately.

Less than ten minutes later, he returned with a flowerpot exactly the size Yoo Sowol had requested.

“Your order will be carried out.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Now all that remained was to cultivate the herb.

“We still need to continue experimenting. voyage Give half of them to Doctor Song. abstract But make sure the first ones go to the people who truly need them.”

Yoo Sowol carefully removed the small berries growing at its tips one by one.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. adjust Understood.”

As for the soil, Grills had given her an entire sack of it.

She planted the other half in their entirety.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps because it was an extraordinarily rare herb that had never been discovered before.

Growing plants was a completely new experience for Yoo Sowol.

‘It’s not growing immediately.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Then she slowly extended one hand.

Even using the soil obtained from the Forest of the Four Seasons, it wasn’t growing quickly.

Yoo Sowol crossed her arms as she observed it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Pop. portal Pop-pop. arch Pop.

Tiny cotyledons suddenly began sprouting.

Then something astonishing happened.

At that moment, an immense amount of energy flowed from her palm and enveloped the entire flowerpot.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

The soil from the Forest of the Four Seasons had probably reacted to her energy, accelerating the herb’s growth.

Yoo Sowol smiled as she watched them emerge.

Of course, that was only possible because the one doing it was Yoo Sowol.

Just as she had expected, once she infused it with her internal energy, the plant grew rapidly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

An ordinary person wouldn’t even have noticed the slightest change.

Naturally, she didn’t forget to take the photo from a carefully chosen angle so that Wi Seolak wouldn’t suspect anything.

She felt that something like this ought to be posted in the Gallery.

‘This deserves a post in the Gallery.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

I’m growing a plant that was given to me by someone very important.

“What…?”

I can say without the slightest doubt that it’s a plant that will one day perform a miracle.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

Up until then, she had endured all kinds of scorn and ridicule, and had even seen truly horrifying images.

But, for some reason, she couldn’t ignore that particular comment.

Yoo Sowol involuntarily shuddered.

That very first comment pierced deeply into her heart.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 236: Quest (5) by Indra Translations.

If it had been an ordinary plant given to her by someone else, she wouldn’t have cared.

But it was a plant discovered by Grills.

She felt as though that comment were insulting both HeavenlyDemon and Grills, and she couldn’t let it slide.

It was like a dagger piercing her chest.
