Chapter 406 – Farm Story: Vespin Town
The reappearance of an absurd mission. Seong-il spits out swear words out of his mouth in absurdity when a ridiculous main quest appears in the story of the farm following the world of Mythology.
“Whoa… It’s blatant, but well… It’s not a loss to me…”
Then, Seong-il calmed down his irritation. If you think about it calmly, increasing the number of sex partners in a new world means that you can stably practice color ball, so he decides to put up with the Game Master’s bullshit.
‘Enough! This world does not play sluggishly like the other worlds!! Clear only!! The goal is to clear that very quickly too!!!’
Points are also running out. In addition, since the game has no special purpose except for the resurrection of the world tree, Seong-il decides to leave this place after completing the mission quickly.
“Ummm… Aside from the fact that I can’t wake up the main quest right away, among the sub-quests, is 『Restoring the Farm Nicely』 The fastest way to clear it?”
Looking at the title alone, it seems very difficult, but Seong-il knew exactly the conditions for clearing the farm through gameplay.
“After all, you just have to level the land on the ruined farm, remove the rocks, remove the weeds and shrubs, and repair the damaged fence.”
In fact, the above conditions were very difficult, but Seong-il itself had superhuman strength, and crucially, he had a trumpet skill, ‘summoning an alter ego’.
‘Even though I’ve never farmed, I think I can handle about 1,000 pyeong in one day if I’m an alter ego with me.’
Seong-Il is only a human being, and has stronger strength and endurance than any large farm machine. In addition, he can use all kinds of superpowers such as telekinesis and magic, so he doesn’t seem particularly difficult to pick the ground.
‘Even my alter ego is stronger than an ordinary Olympic medalist. I don’t even need to rest.’
Therefore, Seong-il decided to focus on clearing the sub-quests that can be cleared most easily.
“Oh no… The problem is farming equipment…?”
Although it was possible to dig up the ground with a strong weapon wrapped around the hand, there was a problem that it consumed a lot of internal energy and, crucially, it was impossible to use a strong weapon as an alter ego.
‘Even if I can use strong skills, the alter ego needs farming tools. The mayor said he would send it today, but it won’t be fast enough for just one person.
After organizing his thoughts like that, Seong-il opens his inventory and takes out his jewelry bag and moves to Bespin Town.
‘Keuk… I don’t have local money here, but I can barter for jewels, right?’
In fact, it was the most convenient way to buy ordinary tools in real life or another world by giving points, but after spending a lot of points recently, there are really few points left.
Because of this, he felt sorry for the points between 10 and 100, so he decided to make seed money by selling the five jewels he got from 『Endless Jewel Bag』.
‘…If I sell jewels every day, I’ll be looked upon with suspicion, so just a few…’
Thinking so, Seong-il arrived at the general store in Bespin Town before he knew it.
‘It’s a place that accepts high-end ores such as gold and mithril, so they’ll accept jewels too, right?’
Thinking so, Seong-il opens the door and speaks to the store.
“Hello?”
“Oh… I’m seeing this friend for the first time? Maybe… The one who came to Old Man Lou’s farm this time…?”
A middle-aged man wearing a neat shirt and a bow tie, and his hair neatly trimmed with pomade. And behind him, you can see the back of a young woman who is diligently organizing her luggage.
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Ho! Nice to meet you. My name is Jack. Please take good care of me in the future!”
Jack responds in a gentle tone to match his appearance. Seong-il takes out a jewel from his bosom and speaks to him.
“Hey… I’d like to buy about 10 sets of iron picks, shovels, hoes, watering cans, etc.”
“Oh! Are you a big hand as soon as you come?!”
Jack is delighted when Seong-il says he will buy a large quantity of farm equipment in a city with few customers. Seong-il shows him a small ruby.
“That… I’m in a hurry and I don’t have any cash. But, what can I do with this jewel?”
“Euh? Jewelry?”
“Yes. It’s not the highest grade, but it’s a gem of a decent grade. I heard that this place also handles precious minerals like gold and mithril, so I thought you’d recognize the value of this gem.”
“Oh yeah…We don’t get jewels, do we?”
“Eek?!”
Unforeseen problems occur. Seong-il is in a hurry and sets the jewelry down on the calculation table he is standing on and starts persuading him.
“It’s real! If you evaluate it, it’s a really good grade gem…”
“I don’t know how to appraise jewels?”
“…”
“I know, at best, how to appraise precious metals found in the mines near my town, but I don’t know how to appraise gems that don’t come from here.”
“Omg…”
“That’s why I don’t want to do something risky like receiving jewels without any knowledge.”
“…”
Jack’s words that leave me speechless. In fact, Seong-il could not deny that his words were reasonable, because if he did not have jewelry appraisal skills, he could be scammed while receiving jewelry.
“Umm… I know there’s a jewelry store in Mineral City that I drive out of there. Why don’t you go there and sell it?”
‘Fuck, that’s the name of the city where the second part takes place.’
Seong-il experienced the unpleasant situation of paying DLC fees while visiting ‘Southern Country’ this time. Therefore, as soon as he hears Jack’s words, Seong-il has a hunch that he will face a difficult situation if he goes there.
‘Fuck… I’m going to another city to sell jewels, and if I’m not lucky, I’m going to spend points again for DLC… Should I just buy japtem from another world?’
In the end, Seong-il gives up selling jewelry and leaves the tool store due to Jack’s iron wall.
“Keuk… It’s a headache.”
“Hey! Newcomer~!”
“Huh…?”
While worrying about money, when someone calls him, he looks back with a puzzled expression. Then, the appearance of a beautiful woman with long straight brown hair and green eyes is impressive.
‘Katrina!!’
The appearance of a heroine that even Seongil knows well. In-game, it’s an SD character, so it looks a little like a child, but perhaps because the proportion problem has been solved here, the voluptuous body is quite impressive.
“Right? The new kid who just moved in.”
“Huh? Uh… Is that right?”
“I’m Katrina. I’m the daughter of Jack, the owner of the grocery store you just visited. Good luck!”
“Ah, yes. Please take good care of me from now on too.”
I still have to talk to her heroines, but when Katrina, one of her heroines, speaks to her first, she responds with admiration.
“Yeah! By the way… I heard a glimpse of my conversation with my dad earlier, and it looks like he’s trying to sell a ruby. Why is that?”
“Ah, that? I have to farm, but I don’t have farming tools. I wonder if bartering is possible.”
“What?! Are you kidding?!”
“Is that true…?”
Katrina with an absurd expression.
‘He’s probably… Was a little greedy and vain, wasn’t he? I liked precious metals and jewelry accessories.’
Seong-il knew her tendencies through gameplay. Because of this, he persistently tries to lead the topic toward jewelry.
“It’s a real gem. Do you want to check it out?”
“…I’m serious?”
“Yes. What would be difficult to show?”
“Um…”
At the words of the holy day, Katrina approached him obediently. Seong-il puts a vivid red ruby on her beautiful hand.
Squeak, click.
‘Hmm…?’
Interestingly, Katrina takes out a jeweler’s kit and a magnifying glass from her pocket and begins to seriously appraise Ruby.
“Oh… Do you know how to appraise jewels?”
“… Roughly? My dream is to open a shop that sells precious metals and luxury goods someday.”
“Ohh…”
That’s how she holds Seongil’s ruby and appraises it for a while.
“Umm… It sure looks like a genuine product with no major flaws…”
“Oh, then, could I exchange them for some of your store’s iron farm implements? I’m thinking of exchanging them for at least 5 sets of basic farm implements like hoes, pickaxes, and shovels.”
“…Are you kidding?”
At Seong-il’s words to exchange seemingly expensive jewels for agricultural tools, Katrina looks at him with a puzzled expression.
“Really? I’m in a hurry right now, I don’t even have cash, so I have to organize that and restore the farm quickly. The farming season is starting now, and I can’t just leave it like this.”
“Keuk… You… Aren’t these stolen goods or fraudulent items? The conditions are too ridiculous?”
‘What do you mean, 5 of them are regenerated for free a day, so I’m just using them.’
However, Katrina, who has no way to know the circumstances of such a holy day, glares at him with a suspicious expression.
“What should I do? Thoroughly appraise it. If it turns out to be fake or stolen, I’ll immediately return the farm equipment to you. As a bonus, I’ll leave this jewel as additional collateral.”
“…What am I going to do to find fault with you?”
Katrina looks at him with an expression of incomprehension. Seong-il throws her sweet words at Katrina in an attempt to stir up her vanity.
“So you’re missing out on one who might be a millionaire in hukou?”
“!!!”
Katrina ponders for a long time. Then she looks at her holy day and answers him.
“You… You live at old man Lu’s, right?”
“Huh.”
“…Really, are you intending to exchange? Isn’t that a joke?”
“Then.”
“…Then, first of all, I’ll give you the farm tools with the jewels as collateral without Dad’s knowledge. But, if you cheat on me! Be prepared!!”
Katrina threatens her holy day with a frown on her cute face.
‘It’s cute what you’re doing.’
It’s been a long time since he’s already figured out everything about her, so he doesn’t seem to be intimidated in the slightest.
‘She’s a vain girl, but if you satisfy her desire, she’ll change into an obedient person. Money… There are a lot of jewels to be exact, so I’ll have to try him first with goods.’
Thinking so, Seong-il has a light chat with Katrina and returns to the farm with the farming tools she secretly took out.
“Children, pick up farming tools!!”
“Huh!!”
“You read my thoughts, you know? First take a scythe and remove the weeds, then put the stones in one place… And take a pickaxe…”
A holy day that gives detailed orders to one’s alter ego. Five or six alter egos who received his orders start to clean up the ruined farm while running around in perfect order.
“Hey! Wouldn’t it be too much to use me for something like this?”
“What can I do? I need to organize it quickly within today.”
Saying so, Seong-il wields a cursed sword clad in strength. Then, weeds with a radius of about 5m are swept away neatly with one knife.
Seong-il, who has cleared the overgrown weeds in an instant, picks up a pickaxe and quickly breaks the stones.
“Puouk! Poouk!!!”
Stones smashed like tofu breaking. When he breaks the rock, the clones move like lightning and start clearing away the waste. When such actions are repeated non-stop, the fertile brown soil hidden in the farm, which was overgrown with weeds and rocks, begins to be revealed.
“Ah… I’ve already worked up my skills…”
After a few hours, the bottom was exposed. Because of this, Seong-il had to repeat the act of drinking mana potions several times in the middle.
“Keuk… The time to summon the clones has run out, so now I have to re-summon them.”
Seong-il took out a jewel from his bosom and summoned his alter ego again. He orders his clones to pick up axes, cut down brush, and build fences.
“Huuuuu with with With with the rest, I wondered…”
Seong-il starts installing the 『Goddess Statue』 In the pond next to the warehouse while the alter egos are working hard at his command.
‘It’s okay to install it here, right? Maybe…’
Back then when I was wasting my time doing chores. An alarm starts ringing on his smartphone.
『Subquest Success: Restoring the farm nicely.』
“Oh… I guess the alter ego has finished its work?”
Seong-il stops installing statues for a while and moves to the place where the clones are located.
“Oh… That’s pretty cool, isn’t it?”
A neatly organized farm scene. The time when I was admiring the look. A ticket appears in front of Seongil’s eyes with an intense light.
『Congratulations on completing the sub-quest. ‘I will give you 1 Follower Summon Ticket~!』
“…The right to summon a follower?”
Items I’ve never seen before. Seong-il looks at the details with a curious expression.
『Follower Summoning Rights: You can designate a building and summon one of your followers who can operate without restrictions only in that area. If you leave the area, the follower will be forcibly reverse summoned, and can be resummoned after 24 hours. (Only for the Farm Story world. Followers can be changed and summoned after 7 days)』
“Oh… This sounds like fun…?”
