I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 37
Episode 037
“It was like that on the news earlier. “My sister said I was strong.”
“That’s right…”
“Even if you join a guild and go to a dungeon, there won’t be anything dangerous. It was a long time ago, and they said that after the guild was created, almost no one died.”
“It’s not like it doesn’t exist at all.”
“There are people everywhere who buy into dangerous behavior. “What kind of personality is your sister like that?”
Seungju’s chin gesture made my mother look at me.
I faced my mother with as harmless and bright a look as possible.
“I’ve been scared since I was little.”
“yes?”
Seungju responded with a grin and suddenly said something to me:
“But what do you mean, sister, I didn’t do it? I really woke up.”
No, you!
I was going along just fine, but why did you suddenly
do this? I was embarrassed and was about to say something, but my mother, who didn’t know the English language, intervened.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Oh, well, my sister caught that bear like that, and when people looked at her, they said, ‘I didn’t do it.’ It’s so ridiculous that I remember everything without making a single mistake. “I guess other people would have been shocked too?”
“hey. I was so embarrassed that the words just came out. I didn’t know that would happen. “This was the first time I used the skill. I got really anxious because you got hurt.”
Seungju, who seemed about to say something more teasing, suddenly became quiet.
Then he spoke softly.
“Thank you, sister. “For saving me.”
I didn’t know it would suddenly become this serious.
I felt so awkward for a moment that I didn’t know what to do.
“What are you saying! With family. “What is there to be thankful for?”
“Hehe, honestly, when you saw your sister in the dungeon, you were surprised because you thought she was involved too. But you jumped in to save me. “I was really touched.”
If I leave it alone, it seems like it will continue to make strange noises.
I think we need to change the atmosphere a bit.
“I have something for you two.”
I cleared my throat and opened my inventory.
Since awakening has been revealed to be refreshing, there is no reason to delay giving the item.
As I took out various items from the inventory, the two people’s eyes sparkled as if they were so amazed at how things suddenly appeared out of thin air.
“Wow, I feel like you’ve really become an awakened person.”
With Seungju’s exclamation flowing through my ears, I lined up the items I had taken out neatly on the table.
Then, he divided them into two bundles and pushed them in front of his mother and Seungju.
“Take this. I will teach you how to use it one by one. “I don’t know what will happen in the future, so I prepared a few items to protect myself.”
“Isn’t it expensive?”
“It’s expensive. So, don’t lose it or give it to someone else. “Here, a bottle of Grade B healing potion alone costs 1 billion won.”
Seungju opened her mouth wide.
Hmm, it reminds me of the old days.
I was like that too.
“10 billion?”
“huh.”
After answering roughly, the first thing I did was pick up a rolled up paper scroll.
“Give me Seungju’s palm.”
Seungju held out her right hand with an expectant look on her face.
I tore the scroll from Seungju’s palm.
Then, a ring of light about 30 centimeters in diameter appeared on the palm of my hand.
“Mom and Seungju could lose items because they don’t have inventory, so we prepared to prevent that from happening.”
I picked up a bottle of healing potion from the table, passed it through the ring, and placed it on the palm of my hand beyond it.
Then, the potion bottle was absorbed into Seungju’s palm, and a small bottle-shaped pattern was engraved in its place.
“Wow, what! Interesting!”
It was my first time using this item, so I was really surprised.
However, because I wanted to act like an experienced awakened person in front of my younger brother, I tried hard to control my facial expression.
Next, all of Seungju’s items on the table were placed into the ring of light.
Seungju’s palms were filled with quite cute patterns.
After putting all the items in and the ring of light disappeared, Seungju enjoyed herself as she continued to sweep the remaining patterns in her hand.
“Now I’ll show you how to take it out. “Once you take out an item, you need the previously used scroll to put it back in, so take it out only when absolutely necessary.”
“Okay, okay. How do I get it out?”
Bright eyes are pouring in. I think it’s the brightest look I’ve ever received from my younger brother.
Ugh, I suddenly feel like my shoulders are straightening up. I’m
surprised by something that’s not that big of a deal.
Uhm hmm hmm hmm.
“Here’s a healing potion engraved on it.” “Pinch the pattern and pull it out slightly.”
As I said, Seung-ju obediently pinched the small bottle with the engraved pattern and lifted it up to the point where the flesh was pulled, and the spout of the healing potion bottle rose out of her palm along with her fingers. Surprised, Seung-ju opened her eyes and jaw wide and looked at me and her palm in
turn
. “This, this. What should I do with this, sister? In my palm…”
“Just grab the end of the protruding item and pull it.”
Seungju held the bottle as I said and lifted it up, holding the healing potion in one hand and staring at me and her mother with an idiotic expression.
That face was so funny that I ended up bursting out laughing.
“Ah, Seungju. “The expression on his face is really crazy.”
“Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing! Mom, honestly, you’re amazing too. Even my mom was surprised! “Oh, sister, stop laughing!”
Seungju complained to her mother about the injustice, but her mother was also smiling.
In the end, we laughed for a while and only stopped when Seungju sighed with a look of liberation on her face.
“Hmm, let me explain other items as well.”
All the items I prepared were purchased following Seo Ji-han’s advice.
Because it was an emergency item, I prepared only high-grade items.
Actually, I don’t even know what items exist, so at best I could only think of escape stones and healing potions.
However, Seo Ji-han advised to prepare for more diverse situations.
“This is a bundle of 10 bottles of healing potion and this is an escape seat for 10 people. When you destroy it, a gate will appear, so you can use it if you get caught in a dungeon with other people. I couldn’t buy the unlimited escape seats because they weren’t for sale. And if you break the single-person escape seats, only you will be moved. “I’ll give you two each.”
After confirming that my mother and Seungju nodded, I continued my explanation again.
“This is an associative space-moving scroll. It’s chapter 5. If you tear with your destination in mind, you will move there. I prepared this just in case, and I am now wearing one of these necklaces around my neck. It is a shock protection necklace that forms a strong protective shield on the outside when the skin is torn or the body is subjected to an impact that is severe enough to damage the body. “It’s disposable, so as soon as you have a shield, rip off the space transfer screen and run away from the dangerous place.”
After seeing the two people wearing necklaces, I also put one on.
“And the last item you received from me is a secret. “Don’t tell anyone. You can tell me about the healing potion, but you can never tell me about the multi-person escape seat.”
I don’t know about healing potions, but multi-use escape stones are not something that a newly awakened novice hunter can just buy.
Even if you get caught, you can pretend that you prepared it by disposing of all the items you obtained from the Beast King Dungeon, but it would still be better to hide it.
After seeing that the two people nodded, Seungju pointed to the healing potion that she was still holding in her hand.
“You drink that. He said he hurt his ankle. Mom too. “I deliberately bought one more bottle in addition to the ten to engrave with a pattern.”
I spoke calmly, and Seungju jumped up in shock.
“what? it’s crazy? “This is 1 billion!”
“That means nothing to you anymore.”
I’m serious.
The total cost of the items I already gave to the two people was over
100 billion. A 1 billion healing potion is the price of gum compared to the price of a 10-person escape stone. Even though
I bought so many items, there are still a lot of items left in my inventory.
In fact . If I wanted to sell it, I could have sold more to make cash, but I just quit.
For no reason, having a lot of cash only takes up inventory space.
Typically, inventory is about 1,000 liters of space.
So, it was roughly the size of a large double-door refrigerator.
Just this. The reason why you can put something like the Horn of Kergis, which is huge enough to destroy your room, in a small space is because all dungeon items in your inventory become smaller. They even overlap if they are of the same type. Ah, overlapping means
that
if This means that even if I have a hundred Garnid leaves, they only take up the space of one Garnid leaf and are stored in a form with X100 written next to them. However, this convenient rule only applies to dungeon by-products or equipment
items.
That is , This means that the cash or modern items I have are stored in the inventory in their original size.
If modern items were also reduced in volume or overlapped like dungeon items, a new horizon in the logistics industry would have been opened.
Anyway, in this situation, the volume does not decrease. Having a lot of cash was inconvenient in many ways.
In addition, it is possible to obtain money with items at any time, but obtaining items with money is relatively difficult. In the
first place, dungeon items are not manufactured in a factory, but can only be obtained through hunting and manual collection. Since it was an item, the quantity itself was not plentiful.
Sometimes there were no items for sale. In
the days when there were fewer dungeons than now, item prices were much more expensive. There was a
time when essential items such as healing potions were in such short supply that even if you had the money, you couldn’t buy them. There was also,
“Wow, you’re so cool, but you’re also a bit unlucky…”
No, this guy spent a lot of money to buy me an escape set.
“hey.”
“Oh, it’s a joke, it’s a joke.”
“know.”
Mom stared at us with a calm smile the whole time as we bickered.
Seo Ji-han, who didn’t know what she was thinking, had a similar expression. Even
if mom said that, why did you…?
Anyway, that day, we fell asleep very late.
The family was in the big bed. The three of them were holding hands.
Of course, Seo Ji-han was alone on the sofa in the living room.
