Chapter 45: Scammer (6)
OcrVVTitle) Damn it, I abandoned the trap.SPj
dE3OiWildGrillsuEoM
uI5S48I just checked the pit trap, and instead of a rabbit, there was a spider living inside.XkXnJyc
cTAZU34On top of that, it was completely black and fucking horrible.82Dl
c2mVhDgJust looking at it was scary, so I left it there.tDiULK
ZXhNFrom now on, instead of pits, I’ll use traps.sgV
P0nbUㄴHeavenlyDemon) Cheer up. If it doesn’t work, I will send you meat.ytpjmb
NkQiGHㄴWildGrills) It’s fine. I can still endure.d7Y
HHFmLEㄴHow big was the spider?ffbbvj8
y9bEkㄴWildGrills) At least 1 meter, I think. I almost fainted when I saw it;;xDt
Jk0OdㄴUgh;; What kind of spider was that big?o8Zm
vmaZe0ㄴWildGrills) It scared me so much I didn’t even take a picture. I think it’s better to ignore it hahahazZYIgN
pMHaMdㄴThen you should roast it and eat itUFHC
v45zTTㄴWildGrills) It’s not that I didn’t think about it, but even if it has offspring, I can’t kill the mother3sEQ4g
SWOyㄴDamn hahaha what a saint we got hahahaoQrXcDw
3EAfㄴAnd someone like that killed Wonmo’s mom?LcNc0W6
p8pㄴWildGrills) Wonmo’s mom tried to kill me, that’s why…1DJ2
7zF6BCㄴHahahahaha well, that’s also true9zk
XpxiPxSㄴWhat will Wonmo think? The person who raised him is actually his mother’s killer, and his mother tried to kill that person…Fq4
kDcnXAㄴRecommend a novel with that. Sounds interestingMwKsHK
7FRㄴWhat story material hahaha I’m going to write it right now5uKi2
7qnaㄴAllFather) What was it like overall?dQR3z3
0xqVzBㄴWildGrills) I ran away as soon as I saw it, so I don’t really know. I only know it was a spider with black furNf4L
yTg1mㄴAllFather) Hmm. That is not enough to identify it. It seems to be some kind of tarantula, so I recommend not hunting itnia0
YG29U2ㄴWildGrills) Actually, I was thinking of burning itjHLi
FtsRKHiSince it lives in the pit, with oil and fire it would die quickly.Vu6Qj
LHNqeEBut I have no intention of making that much effort for something like that.GTh
vtEr5aI don’t even want to look at it.J1ZbTy
c2KHDqImagine lifting the board and seeing a bunch of horrible spiders rushing at you.kIp0lm
liX1MIt wouldn’t be strange if it left you with trauma.wTlxd
PgEOG‘Where the hell did that spider come from?’svYtt
0RCIn just a few hours it turned the trap into its habitat.vl6
uAI0It’s one of those mysteries of nature that seem understandable, but aren’t.vdDoVEG
wDAIn the end, I had no choice but to have dinner again with fasting pills.DU1m
77Lh7fII just hope that by the next morning there are fish caught.FIpSaOb
ddcyx5‘What if I smoke them instead?’sfrX
CwwNot a bad idea. If I smoke them, insects won’t come near either.ng5ZG
59t1What worries me are beasts, but if they were going to come, they would have already.0TTgb
aq8So far, no dangerous beasts have appeared, so something is strange.pJ6k5d
Ug1no‘At least finding Owlbear droppings is somewhat hopeful…’djftMuD
3wtl5Wonmo’s mother, the Owlbear, may have come like me, to explore.yVatXwV
LEMlai2Because that Owlbear destroyed and devoured the corpse of the Mad Dog.xyWjTdV
3crRpSince the enemy that divided the territory disappeared, it came to check the area once.CMQ
z5m‘There’s no choice but to keep exploring constantly.’3BMhIk
2FZ9rThe Forest of Four Seasons is a place where anything can happen.OzJz
vI3DThat’s why preparing for any eventuality is not an option, it’s a necessity.JsU
7BV9When it started to get dark, I took some logs and entered the cave.o2Sr40
SxgSHWrInside, Wonmo was already awake and sitting doing nothing.DIsAfY
g8iY2uT“Did you wake up? Do you want to eat?”ZbFb1UU
EGTyG1“Kkyuu!”qMz
NaLSo adorable.1YEDYM
uuWI bought a large piece of meat at the auction house.VY3eQ
wZ2AGIFor now, I don’t have to worry about money.Azit
ggJ6JoI sold the internal core and got a huge amount.x9lVv
UjswWhat’s funny is that that scammer didn’t even get to eat the internal core.U8D1
FMeHPHe deserves it.0WWQH
IMUJ8‘Tomorrow AllFather will also need frogs, right?’YLf
KbYeglThe plan for tomorrow is as follows.8qSDK
NSWqExplore in the morning and return before lunch.TKjExz
dcVlN0Then hunt golden frogs, trade with AllFather and, if possible, get a fishing trap from a dwarf.G8Y1qX
q5qIf I manage to get a trap made by a dwarf, I won’t have to worry about food anymore.2rL
CyKReSince it’s made by a dwarf, there’s no need to doubt its durability either.JKRixmP
f069‘What worries me is whether to go upstream or downstream…’MZ4ww
5PzMihRWhen you’re lost, there is a simple way to escape.feyawFN
My8aujFollow the river downstream.MGu
pzAg0D3Since ancient times, civilizations tend to arise near rivers.chiMcg
Tyu7Even if there isn’t a country, at least there should be a village.zEYdga
ISYTRs‘The problem is that space is unstable and might be cut off halfway…’qMQqBY
wIZSpace is unstable.AL80HT
WmekYKIt may sound strange, but I’m not wrong.OMCl3
YAZEezRight now, on the other side of the river it changes between a snowy mountain and a desert in real time.A9Ug2
d9cREven last time it transformed into an area full of fog.woBesoN
SDBWhen I saw it, I couldn’t believe it.kmkR8
m74E3So if at some point it gets cut off in a strange way, I plan to turn back without hesitation.46i60mP
xUi9gL6‘Nothing is easy here.’TBtyJ4
lWLnI let out a sigh.mNwbgh
faAfNaThat’s why I prioritized adapting instead of escaping.Y1TMZYS
2adDS9Space changes constantly, so even if I want to escape, it’s difficult to do so.NJ6bK
1HLDMUS‘At least the map is gradually expanding, that’s comforting.’ESJ5
d5B80c4I turned my head and looked at the wall.U7AJG2B
mmPwiThere was a map drawn on a large sheet.kEhzzS
r0UDJxZTaking this cave as the center, special points are marked in all directions.RUmF
Pywy5The river where golden frogs appear.r8uA
VVQClLBThe area of adult mandrakes.8MIB
KRYcmEThe cave of the golden mushroom that I recently discovered.E4QV1k
PCdkQG5It’s not completely reliable because the compass doesn’t work, but it still helps a lot.GSCU
cWY62‘Tomorrow I’ll go down following the river.’L4H
IvE00If I follow the river downstream, there’s no way to get lost.SPLV
Jm1gZWhen the sun completely set, I lit a campfire.w4gk
7kCLxWarmth began to fill the cave, which had become increasingly cold.rGP0cks
0et“Nom nom.”QZKyv
USVvufI gave meat to Wonmo and he ate happily.2Kf9
YYMplI patted his head.SUZ
nlVTAt first he flinched, but then continued eating calmly.X5dlr
Lp52MjIt seems he has already completely gotten used to my touch.m9nGn8i
4QgLgx‘I hope he grows quickly.’T40TPG
sHcKsFor an Owlbear to reach adulthood, several years are needed.q1B
XBTsTThat’s what they said in the gallery.CyFn4yL
iFSmqBut it can hunt on its own even before becoming an adult.1Se
PzdI think they said that in less than a year it already grows quite a lot.sqRn
JxmI looked at Wonmo eating the well-prepared raw meat, then turned my head.1lonHvG
dcZqThe sloth was staring at me with his usual dumb expression.A6qJ9
7jTa“You’re already fully grown, right?”kApJhQ
djGHMr“……”FjLKo
kf5US2“Yeah. I figured.”epDLur6
5q4dRIt looks like he’s saying “can’t you see?”.gSaLkp
NikBawOf course, that’s just my assumption.nsjZj
HkY7HsAfter eating something light with the fasting pill, I stepped outside for a moment.iAN3BX
5mUdmbBefore sleeping, it’s better to wash up a bit.XPH
8mm8itnIt’s for hygiene.d1to
2pIpuZ‘Why does this sloth hate bathing so much?’fnMVqt
ZCxKOLuckily, there are still no strange symptoms, but you never know.MvO2Ta
hotsr7uFor now, I have no choice but to keep my own body clean.vmDN
vg7SngAfter washing quickly, I went back into the cave.3NX4P
DaD45k‘Ah, right. The sheath.’FcVc9as
Pb7abARSeeing HeavenlyDemon’s sword leaning in a corner of the cave, I remembered.ca3WkVW
ch7I’m going to move around, so I can’t just carry it like this.cg2h
KrGdnI entered the gallery and sent a private message to HeavenlyDemon.TgE
SNf[WildGrills: HeavenlyDemon, are you there?]Aymo
VKEOA[HeavenlyDemon: Speak.]Dv5eS
wvlyyQCShe replied in less than a second.GqJ
icuwDqcI was a bit surprised.wAFyxh
zwQ1bWL[WildGrills: It’s nothing important, but the sword you gave me before… doesn’t it have a sheath?]Dt8m
P9uB1[HeavenlyDemon: It had one. But the blade is so sharp that it ended up destroying it.]uzewS
91hefza[WildGrills: Hmm. Makes sense.]7MIz
C2RjoActually, the sheath might not be that important.s2s3i
CNh1d0BThat sword split the Mad Dog in two effortlessly.6Sm77J
pFx6But still, carrying it only in my hand would be inconvenient when moving.jDb
EjPb[HeavenlyDemon: If you want a sheath, I can order a subordinate to make one.]2rg
wYq1q5o[WildGrills: No, it’s not necessary. DwarfPassingBy?]yRUGUW
v7934P[HeavenlyDemon: You mean that drunk dwarf? I haven’t spoken to him directly, but I know of him.]ZZlt
MtCseU[WildGrills: I was thinking of asking him. He seems like a very skilled blacksmith.]aOcyNr6
eOt7yT2[HeavenlyDemon: Not a bad idea, but isn’t it enough to just carry the sword?]2xqB
VKGMYmR[WildGrills: Yes, but I think I’ll need a sheath.]BUk
9LHOAIaFor when I have to investigate or use my hands.dvz
2Pfdl1That happens often.8LrGjO
AlXkuIt’s better to have it than not.RFOXu
8vB91OThat’s a conclusion I reached living here.Zc73jn
DZp5p[HeavenlyDemon: Your way of life and mine are different, so I respect it. But I assure you it won’t be easy.]Dqa
QGuh8w[WildGrills: You said it was made with something called ten-thousand-year metal, right? Is it a good material?]HuEMPf
DvxJL[HeavenlyDemon: It is, but it was also made by a great blacksmith.]NKYZ7Nh
JOF[WildGrills: I see.]mkrU
WdOSo, it’s an exceptional sword among exceptional ones.PW2TT6
cTCtKZ9And HeavenlyDemon gave it to me.z2drpS
8ED0yINEvery time I try to return it, she firmly refuses.G2aE
FAokKOn[HeavenlyDemon: If you’re thinking of returning it, I won’t allow it. I’m no longer someone who depends on weapons.]Uxkh
AT5S0O[WildGrills: Is there anything you want?]fkRgCOj
Vogg[HeavenlyDemon: If you find an internal core, could you give it to me? Not for me, but for a subordinate.]jRFS
V2B2NN[WildGrills: Ah, of course. I understand. Then, could you pass on my thanks?]wtxtd
3cFJ[HeavenlyDemon: Of course.]x6oKuC9
1gyCo9qThe conversation with HeavenlyDemon ended there.kOV
FZL5HYNow only one thing remains.JStAUe
Go5QTo ask DwarfPassingBy to make the sheath.EpTi5
mlGCBut I don’t know if he’ll accept.pNdiWe
mVllLQHe makes fishing traps in exchange for snacks, but a sheath is another story.Bw6i
TchzzUnless I find high-quality minerals, it’s very likely he’ll refuse.9Dcq4
KxfoE‘In the end, I need something valuable.’jha
lQcXLIt seems I’ll have to expand the exploration area.w7u7
86JIt would be best to use as reference places where space is chaotically mixed, like on the other side of the river.RRKFMEA
sDyACET‘Although finding places like that isn’t easy.’haYZD
TJdF4I’ll have to put in the effort.7FLN7
Oo0qmTo escape, sometimes risky challenges are necessary.LOP
DHFI took a photo of the campfire and posted in the gallery.awvN
BniYEgTitle) Day 4 finished! (photo of the campfire)oDsK3
N1sGoodbye everyone! See you tomorrow!Np9
HsUizjXㄴHeavenlyDemon) Good work.FbM4R
pAHIIㄴSwordmaster) Good work.SLVzf7S
0TKvㄴStarlight Princess) See you tomorrow!GON
kI2jyjㄴSunForEver) You had trouble because of an idiot.elW
RYFㄴDemonPrincess) Take care! Don’t die! I’ll send you pants tomorrow!9KVdg
Ruu8vdReceiving both support from registered users and nonsense from anonymous users, I closed the gallery.bmDLQZ
4e6TNow I plan to train the internal energy method and then sleep.XqwbqS
I6C6Gwp‘Every time I use the method, I feel like the fatigue disappears.’5OZKo
atEt5Although it was more like forcing sleep, there was no other choice.J7tiMA
xWyjzGoing out in the middle of the night was practically suicide.xjOlHK
69j75gbEven if you can see, the forest during the day and at night is completely different.l5r
Q8syL‘Then…’rL7
ioe4SSNAn idea came to mind.iqX
xk7Does the method remove fatigue every time I use it?GhF
drK3CUThen I’ll use the method until fatigue builds up.5C0ydOD
bF7yAnyway, I have nothing else to do.sIjiA
42mFor me, this is the best option.WJqpWv
Ywo‘If I keep going, eventually I’ll get sleepy, right?’mtnFudl
URQPFZHWith that simple thought, I began to execute the method.9a27JD7
D8XICEyThe mana inside my body began to circulate little by little, and with each breath it accelerated as if being pumped.Sc0S
KFm0S‘From the basics, little by little…’g98M
tRHgUThe only thing I have in abundance is time.soe5
3MJU6eDuring that time, I slowly refined the foundation that HeavenlyDemon taught me.OmR9B
9ehzxQ“……”D4S6Nl
kkVLittle by little, he sank into stillness.miWGr3
E8CowA***0hoQVcY
5Of2While Grills completely immersed himself in the internal energy method, the gallery remained active as always.a1L
MxeqSsAs long as even one registered user remains, it’s impossible for the gallery to completely stop.KIJZl
xje88xGBut most of the gallery’s content was related to Grills.7ATnoMH
ppJ3jLPTitle) From now on we should buy everything Grills puts up for auction7rCXTx
28ogUi4There’s nothing wrong with buying what this guy uploads hahahaENc3qY
dWyMaybe soon he won’t just get internal cores, but things like mithril hahahaB6KnBD
UvVmRDYㄴMithril? hahaha it’s not like it’s just some random stoneaXf7tc
294cquㄴThen are internal cores like marbles from the neighborhood?kLQ
Y4Z5ㄴIt’s not like they have that big of an effectpujOV
9SSptGQㄴBut they’re still internal cores. Didn’t a second-rate guy jump straight to the highest level?eIqz
ZFvgunTㄴI’m telling you, there’s nothing wrong with buying themgzep
AsloC7ㄴFrom the moment there’s an area with adult mandrakes, it’s already absurd ㅇㅇQRVS
ah7y7ㄴDamn, if it weren’t for that scammer, we could’ve gotten them cheaper7E5aEiv
1GtㄴIn practice, it’s because of that guy that he now goes through registered accounts. It pisses me offkip5
5XXTlD8Title) In real time, a gallery user is screwed3FVMY
0fzUoMy boss told me to do whatever it takes to connect with Grills….fuvyX0
VWqBYHI said no, and he told me that if I don’t like it, I should leave the businessQztZ2Y
jPJYUBoIsn’t there some law about this? It’s too tied to my private life;;Foa
jlkvTㄴMenteInteligente) Do you usually talk badly about your boss?5GW
XMzQㄴAnd you don’t?oKd1
W7nYㄴMenteInteligente) I do too. Recently I almost got screwed because my boss told me to reveal my gallery nickname hahahaWPn65V
8cxJㄴAnd how did you avoid it?WAmMcVC
BA7PvㄴMenteInteligente) I just spoke well. You should also tell your boss to reveal his nickname. That usually makes him forgive you49Ondn
WMydcnGㄴOk ok good tip thanksetK1
1NwZeZTㄴI think I’m going to believe everything Grills discovers now. What will be next?jgfwWP
vLWㄴI already said it. It’ll probably be some kind of mineral ㅇㅇ. That’s what I thinkqrG2
F5bTitle) Honestly, it’s complicatedpuYWzJ
lrbCWhat does Grills need? Things directly related to survival.
He doesn’t really need money.kgROHg
yGdBasically it’s barter, but isn’t it hard to trade like that? Unless you give him a legendary weapon.8JEaGo
Lfhcm3ㄴAnd now threatening him doesn’t work either. Making a deal became very difficult;;5r98OT
pGEㄴInternal cores or elixirs, if they’re there, he just consumes them hahaha4E6owHa
YlSㄴHe already has most weapons too, right? What could he need?xzRLBGU
f3mLzhㄴPorn images?Rsfz
r6HㄴOh.iuIAMg
988ㄴHe says “oh” hahahahanp9T
qzOSpuㄴThat’s what you need hahahagv5x5
gJWt6tㄴNo no no, he might actually need them. I’m not jokingz99
LYCxvFor quite a while, the gallery burned with discussions that weren’t really discussions.7x1CM7K
kfSJeUnlike before, this time it was much more active.66d0Z
