I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 108
Episode 109:
S-class ability improvement potion.
Although the aftereffects are strong, that item will be able to overcome any crisis.
Although he said it confidently, Seo Ji-han’s face sank even further.
– Never use that. If you use it when conditions are bad like now, you will pay a greater price than before. Absolutely not. Understand?
I nodded hesitantly.
As expected, he was anxious and forced me to make a promise several times and then glanced at Ban Seo-hu.
‘If only it weren’t for that guy’ I could hear myself muttering quietly.
– Are you sure it’s okay?
I’m really fine.
It really doesn’t matter.
But Seo Ji-han doesn’t seem to be okay.
“Sure.”
– Don’t go anywhere else, just stay here. You must not go to the lakeside alone and fall into the water, go to a dungeon alone, drink too much or light a bonfire just because you are curious about the S-class potion abilities.
Mr. Seo Ji-han, please take a breath and speak.
How on earth do I appear in his eyes?
– And if a suspicious person comes, hide and wait for me to come, and never fight alone.
The further back you go, the more it gets closer.
– Even if they ask you to go with them, you must not follow them. And…
I was so dumbfounded that I listened in a daze and covered his mouth with my palm.
It seems like there will be no end if I leave it alone.
Of course, this doesn’t mean you can physically cover his mouth.
The nagging suddenly stopped, as if it was a signal to stop.
“I’m not a child. really.”
– …yes.
Seo Ji-han, who answered with a confused expression, slowly materialized as if he had finally made up his mind.
A strong blooming presence.
Watching it again, the intimidating feeling of Seo Ji-han materialized is truly amazing.
“take it. “You said you could use the inventory when it was materialized, right?”
I handed over all of his equipment items that I had kept.
I also gave out different types of ability-boosting potions that I had.
Lastly, I took off the lapis lazuli ring of the Apocalypse and ate it, but he held my hand and put the ring back on me.
“I have this.”
A voice resounding softly.
I felt a tingling sensation in my ears as his voice touched them.
It’s completely different from when you’re talking in a soul state.
The embodied Seo Ji-han was truly powerful in many ways.
“Better than what I, who has no strength ability, can use…”
“I gave it to you to keep. You’re wearing it.”
The Lapis Lazuli Ring of Apocalypse only increases my strength by 10 when I wear it, but when Seo Ji-han wears it, it doubles my strength. It was much more efficient for
Seo Ji-han to have it.
But Seo Ji-han was stubborn.
“Okay.”
I had no choice as he was holding the ring tightly and preventing me from taking it off.
He smiled slightly and looked at me quietly.
As if he was trying to remember someone he wouldn’t see for a long time.
“Ah, the sun is going to set.”
“Stop making excuses and leave quickly.”
At the urging of Yoo Eun-dam and Ban Seo-hu, who were booing, Seo Ji-han glared at them again and lightly grabbed my shoulder.
Then, he pulled me slightly and held me tightly in his arms, whispering softly,
“I’ll be back.”
Seo Ji-han’s arm around his back moved slightly, and then he heard the sound of something being torn.
And then he suddenly disappeared.
He used a movement scroll.
“I waited as long as I could. Bro, you’re really going too far.”
“Ha, that guy is like that. Has it happened once or twice? Let’s follow him.”
Yu Eun-dam and Ban Seo-hu, who were left behind, grumbled and tore up the movement scroll.
After the three completely left for the Dungeon Management Office, I belatedly sat down on the spot, holding my flushed face. Oh, really,
what is it?
Most of Seo Ji-han’s skinship was done without much thought. I do it.
My head knows that, but my heart doesn’t seem to know. In
the end, I had to look out at the lake for a moment and cool my head in order to calm my heart , which was being
unnecessarily active.
It’s been a while.
Before I met Seo Ji-han, I was alone after work.
It hasn’t even been an hour since he left, but I already feel lonely. I
don’t think I’m in a position to say anything to Seo Ji-han.
Anyway, now that I finally have some alone time. It should be useful.
First, I contacted my mother at the Communication Department and advised her to evacuate to the lakeside because something very dangerous would happen soon. I
didn’t tell her the whole truth.
Even I, an awakened person, didn’t know anything about monsters pouring out of the dungeon or predators. It was a story that left me at a loss.
If my mother, who is not an awakened person, found out, she would be even more shocked.
But I did tell her that monsters would come out of the dungeon sooner or later.
That way, my mother would be able to judge how dangerous the situation was.
Story After hearing this, my mother answered that she wanted to take care of her acquaintances and avoid them.
With great difficulty, I agreed.
Because I understood how she felt when she said that.
And since I was in a peaceful state right now, I could listen to that much.
Besides, the monster was there . Even if you can crawl out of the dungeon, there is a security facility built by the Dungeon Management Office around it.
Even if monsters are able to come out of the dungeon, they will not be able to immediately invade the area where people live.
At least while the dungeon security facility primarily blocks them. We can buy time to evacuate the civilians, right?
After Ban Seo-jin’s rescue, the remaining task is to close as many dungeons as possible before the monsters start pouring in.
And we need to spread this information as widely as possible so that other guilds and hunters can also prepare. .
The most hopeful direction would be for people to believe in us, unite, and quickly attack the dungeon boss, but I think that’s unlikely to happen.
And even if you agree, you still have to conquer the dungeon in the end.
To prepare for the many battles ahead, I opened a market.
Although Kim Yeong-gil’s thought form can make consumable items such as escape stones and potions, he cannot make items such as attack power increase scrolls, so I planned to purchase them.
In addition, I also check to see if there are any equipment items that I can use.
“what. Why is it so expensive?”
I looked through the items without much thought and was surprised.
Aren’t most items priced up to five times their original market price?
It is not surprising that dungeon items are expensive, but this price is abnormal.
Moreover, the B-class healing potion, which was sold for about 1 billion won, was not even for sale.
Most of the items being sold were D grade or lower.
If this were to happen, other hunters wouldn’t be able to fight properly when the monsters run out.
At least healing potions should be cheap.
Otherwise, injuries will soon lead to death.
Looking around the market a little more, I saw that there were a lot of people who wanted to purchase a C-level healing potion or a B-level healing potion.
Registering the purchase of these consumer items one by one and waiting for someone to sell them is a phenomenon that has never been seen before.
I think this happened because the item was so expensive and the supply was low.
First of all, I sold all the B-class potions I had.
Anyway, thanks to Kim Young-gil’s thought form, there were a lot of A-level potions he made.
Thanks to this, I had no need to use the B-class healing potion or ability-boosting potion, so I disposed of it.
By the way, if potion prices are so high, it’s a perfect situation to clear out the accumulated stock of material items, right?
Kim Young-gil was an outstanding production hunter who was responsible for one axis of the supply of consumer items in Korea during his lifetime.
It took a long time to make S- or A-level items, but lower-level items could be made in a much shorter time.
To produce items of grade B or higher, a core of the same grade was required.
However, there were quite a few potions that did not require cores as ingredients.
In particular, healing potions of grade C or lower can be made using only high grade garnid leaves.
So far, I haven’t sold potions in large quantities because I don’t have the capacity to do so and I’m afraid the item price will drop too much or Luther’s identity will be tracked down.
However, in this situation, many potions could be sold without exposing one’s identity.
I instructed Kim Young-gil’s thought form to mass produce low-grade potions.
In addition, he collected all the S-class and A-class potions he had made so far.
Then I looked around the market again looking for equipment items, but couldn’t find any suitable items.
Actually, the consumable items have dried up so much, so I guess there will be more equipment items.
Why are items so expensive?
As expected, the supply has decreased due to Kim Young-gil’s death.
Even so, there will be a quantity of items supplied from overseas.
Well, there’s no need to think deeply.
If it’s a benefit to me, it’s a gain, not a loss.
Hmm, should I prepare some food for the people who left for the management office to eat when they return?
I’ll be back in at least 6 hours, so I’m sure you’ll be hungry by then.
Since Seo Ji-han has finally materialized, he will be happy to have a meal for the first time in a long time.
Since I’ve been getting it all the time, I’ll try making it myself this time.
The dinner menu was just what I wanted to eat.
I also wondered if it would be better to buy it.
However, I remembered Seo Ji-han’s words telling me not to go anywhere and to wait, so I decided to just cook.
While I was busy cooking, suddenly there was a commotion outside the window.
When I checked the time, six hours had already passed.
By the time they left, it was barely noon, and already a red light was shining in the sky.
I quietly walked to the window, leaving behind the steaming rice cooker.
As expected, Seo Ji-han and Ban Seo-hu Yoo Eun-dam were seen.
But the person lying tied up at his feet was unexpected.
