Chapter 1191 – 1191. Test
[I have seen the ending of the 15-day world.]
[You cannot select the 15-day world.]
[The ending is saved and can be viewed again at any time.]
[You have acquired 307 points as an ending bonus.]
[You have met a special condition.]
[You have achieved the ending achievement, ‘The Mastermind’.]
[You have acquired Information Erasure.]
[Information Erasure.
Erases desired information from the world.
Only you know the erased information.
Price: 5,000
※Caution
Someone may discover or guess the erased information.]
After reading the information about Information Erasure, I felt an urge to use it.
‘This can be purchased again in the random draw. 5,000 points is relatively cheap… If I erase information about myself, what would happen? Would people not recognize me? No, that’s not what Information Erasure is for….’
I suppressed the urge.
Even if I use Information Erasure, I should use it in a fictional world, not in reality.
And 5,000 points. Thinking about it again, 5,000 points isn’t exactly cheap. Just thinking about gathering 5,000 points again makes me feel extremely tired.
‘There will be a time to use it later.’
[Life and Death Authority
You must know the target’s name and face.
Brings the dead back to life.
Kills the living.
Price –
※Caution
Targets with resurrection abilities may resurrect.]
Life and Death Authority.
This is the reward I received for completing this quest.
The fact that there is no price means that it cannot be purchased at the random draw store. And it’s just my guess, but if there’s no price, it probably won’t appear in the random draw either.
‘Life and Death Authority… It’s lovely every time I see it.’
Chuckling, I check the points I have.
[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 81
Strength: 105 Stamina: 100 Agility: 100 Intelligence: 100 Vitality: 110 Mana: 103]
[Available Points: 7,580]
I leveled up once and gained about 3,000 points. I was happily contemplating where to use the points, but then I shook my head.
‘There’s no rush. I’ll pass for now.’
I got up from my seat. I was thinking of taking a cold shower to wash away the unpleasant feeling.
Vvvvvvv.
My smartphone vibrated. A call was coming in. The caller was Ha Seung-hee.
‘She’s been quiet lately, what’s going on?’
We’ve been seeing each other less frequently lately. About once or twice a week. The reason was Ha Seung-hee. The replica of Hebil’s stimulant, HB-1, was reaching the final stages. I decided to respect her. My relationship with Ha Seung-hee wouldn’t end even if HB-1 was completed.
‘The reason we’re meeting once or twice a week is because of that. Since the replica of HB-1 is almost complete, Hebil’s stimulant won’t be necessary. But she’s still meeting me and having relations… Heh.’
Smiling, I answered the phone.
“…Yu-jin, Senior.”
“Oh, Seung-hee. Should we meet now? Do you want to come to my place?”
“I didn’t call about that today.”
“Then what is it?”
“I need your help, Senior.”
“My help?”
“Yes. HB-1 is complete. But we can’t start selling it as it is.”
“Why? You said you’d rake in the money if you just sold it?”
“Just because it’s complete doesn’t mean it’s the end. We need to check for side effects. We have to go through testing. This process is very important. If there are any fatal side effects on humans here…”
“If there are?”
“…We’d have to improve HB-1 and make HB-2. We can only sell it if there are no side effects. If not, the project itself will be scrapped, my dream will be shattered, and my life will become meaningless.”
“But do you really need my help? I don’t know much about testing. I’m also ignorant about alchemy.”
“I’ll tell you more about the testing when we meet. Come to the lab.”
“Right now?”
“The sooner, the better. Do you have anything to do?”
“…No. I’ll go in a bit.”
I hung up the phone and checked the time.
10 a.m.
It wasn’t an inconvenient time.
•••
She was wearing a suit.
Maybe it was because her limbs were long, but the suit looked very good on her. Her doll-like beauty was still there.
‘…Maybe it’s because I was in the [15]-day world doing quests, but she feels a bit unfamiliar.’
In real-time, I had met her three days ago.
She and I sat facing each other in the office. I sipped the coffee she had brought.
“Instant coffee? That’s a bit unexpected.”
“Do you think the rich don’t eat this kind of thing? We all eat it. My grandfather still eats ramen once a week. Thanks to that, the doctor’s worries are piling up.”
“That old man won’t die even if he eats radiation. What’s the test that needs my help?”
“HB-1… What’s the effect of what you call Hebil’s stimulant, Senior?”
“Making plants grow faster?”
“Yes. It makes them grow unbelievably fast. It’s awe-inspiring to see it with your own eyes. Then, what are the side effects of Hebil’s stimulant?”
“The essence of the soil… no, the nutrients disappear.”
“That’s right. HB-1 has even more severe side effects than Hebil’s stimulant. The side effects are about three times worse than Hebil’s stimulant.”
“Three times is too much. Can’t you improve it?”
“They said it would take at least three years to improve the side effects. I don’t want to wait that long. And there’s a good thing about the side effects too. It prevents the overuse of HB-1. The value of agricultural products won’t plummet. Well, no one would use HB-1 on agricultural products anyway.”
“Hmm. So what do I have to do?”
“Dungeon. HB-1 will be used in dungeons. It will make it easier to obtain special herbs and crops that only grow in dungeons.”
Dungeons aren’t just filled with monsters.
There are special plants that only grow in dungeons. And their value isn’t small. Dungeon herbs are the main ingredients for potions.
At one point, the Hunter Association thought about farming in dungeons. Most of the plants in dungeons don’t grow on Earth, and even if they do, their efficacy is less than half of the plants grown in dungeons.
So, they had a project to stabilize the supply by farming in open-type dungeons.
‘It failed.’
Monsters constantly appear in open-type dungeons. You have to stop the monsters while cultivating the plants. And it takes at least a few months for the plants to grow.
Also, plants don’t just grow with soil, water, and sunlight. Each plant has its own cultivation method.
‘For these reasons, the project was stopped. But if we have HB-1… the story changes.’
With HB-1, you can cultivate dungeon plants in minutes. The dungeon soil dies due to side effects? No need to worry. Dungeons appear and disappear all over the world.
HB-1 was a revolution.
Everyone would want it.
The United States, Russia, China, Japan, Europe, everyone.
And Korea and Sejin Group had the power to protect HB-1. They would leap to greater heights through HB-1.
‘Did Ha Seung-hee know the value of Hebil’s stimulant from the beginning?’
She probably did.
That’s why she traded her purity to get Hebil’s stimulant.
I looked at Ha Seung-hee’s face. Her eyes, full of ambition, were shining like stars.
“What you need to do, Senior, is the test in the dungeon.”
“That’s something anyone can do. If you just hire a hunter…”
“There are no hunters I can trust. If I hire a hunter and my older brother finds out about this… he’ll definitely do everything he can to interfere with me and steal my achievements.”
“And you can trust me?”
“That’s a silly question. We’re already on the same boat. We even signed a contract. …Should I show you?”
“No. It’s okay. But you’re not thinking of using me for free, are you?”
“……”
Ha Seung-hee narrowed her eyes.
“…What do you want?”
“……”
When I didn’t answer and quietly closed my mouth, she sighed and got up. She unbuttoned her blouse and approached me.
She climbed onto my lap. The distance closed. Through the gap in her open blouse, I could see her breasts, wrapped in a luxurious white bra. They were beautifully shaped. And they smelled good.
“What you want, Senior, is obvious. You want this, right?”
She took off her suit pants and started taking off my clothes one by one.
“This is basic.”
She took off her panties and stroked my buttocks. They were soft and smooth.
“…What else do you want?”
“Hunter achievements. I want to become an A-rank hunter, but I don’t have enough achievements.”
“You can get achievements by doing hunter work.”
“If I do it like this, it’ll take years. I want to become an A-rank hunter before I graduate from college.”
“If you join a large guild, you can get support.”
“You know I’m already in a guild, right? I don’t want to change jobs.”
Ha Seung-hee’s slender fingers teased my penis. She stroked the shaft and pressed the tip of my urethra with her thumb. At first, she could only do what I led her to do… but now she had experience. Of course, I wasn’t just letting her do as she pleased. I took off her panties and touched her pussy. It was a neat pussy. Nicely groomed hair and a pink pussy closed in a straight line.
We caressed each other’s genitals.
“…I can’t bribe association employees to manipulate achievements. Even if I did, it would eventually be discovered during the A-rank evaluation.”
“The association will give me requests. Hunter achievements can increase depending on the request reward.”
“Do you know how much the commission is?”
“I’ll add the money. Anyway, once HB-1 is complete, I’ll get a huge amount of money.”
“Haa. Okay. I’ll look into it.”
Ha Seung-hee lifted her hips and pressed close to me. And her hips came down. My penis entered her pussy. The vaginal walls throbbed and welcomed my penis.
“Hng, haaang…”
Ha Seung-hee gently hugged me with a languid yet excited expression.
•••
I entered the D-rank dungeon, [Bales Tang’s Pond], with Ha Seung-hee.
The reason I entered a D-rank dungeon was because of Ha Seung-hee. Hunters cannot enter dungeons that are more than two ranks higher than their own rank. It was a law set by the Hunter Association. Ha Seung-hee, an E-rank hunter, could only enter D-rank dungeons.
“Bales Tang’s Pond is an open-type dungeon that appeared a week ago. With my grandfather’s help, I bought the rights to the dungeon. For the next week, this dungeon is ours.”
“We’re not supposed to clear the dungeon?”
“It doesn’t matter. I received confirmation from the association that it doesn’t matter what we do with the dungeon. Well, if we do anything strange, they’ll obviously intervene… But it’s just a D-rank dungeon, so they don’t seem to care much.”
“Don’t they maintain low-rank open-type dungeons? There’s a lot to gain. It’s also a lifeline for low-rank hunters.”
“That was the case last year… but recently, so many dungeons have appeared that they’re quickly resolving even low-rank dungeons. If there are too many dungeons to manage, problems will arise. And the public opinion of the association will worsen.”
“Ordinary people are scared of dungeons regardless of their rank.”
“Even F-rank monsters are dangerous for ordinary people. Ah, stop, Senior. Let’s test it here.”
I stopped walking and looked around.
