Chapter 11 – Episode 11. Farming
Ju Ji-eun’s status window appeared in front of me.
[Joo Joo Eun
Status window is not activated.]
“.. What?”
What do you mean it’s not activated?
Jisoo and I can see the status window without any problem?
After thinking about it for a while, I was able to think of the reason.
“So you haven’t killed a monster yet. You have to kill at least one monster to activate it.”
It’s probably because he’s been hiding since the monster avalanche broke out.
Then, for some reason, he ran away from the monster and was killed.
“When I meet a monster, I have to kill one. The status window must be activated so that I can check my job, and I can check my stats…”
All of a sudden, my saliva gulps down.
“… I can use my job to improve my stats…”
My heart is pounding and thumping.
Is it really okay?
The best star in Korea, Joo Ji-eun?
Joo Eun, who was revered as a goddess?
The front part of my pants became tight in an instant when I thought that I could pour the strength I had poured into Ji-soo into Ju-eun Jo.
Oh, it’s hard to walk.
I wanted to go right into the cradle of rest like farming, but I put up with it for now.
‘There’s plenty of time. Let’s not be hasty. I have to do what I was doing’
What we need to do today is to procure the items we need to live in the future.
Today’s goal is to get clothes, and to procure food and tools necessary for living.
I had a mart and a camping supply store in mind.
A medium-sized food material mart just a short walk from the entertainment district.
And across the mart, there is a fairly large store that sells camping supplies.
I was thinking of going there.
‘The camping supply store wouldn’t have been robbed. But the mart is… Uneasy. Monsters or people might have already robbed it…
If the business had been opened, it would have been attacked and robbed by monsters.
But I understand that the mart I’m targeting was on holiday the day the monster avalanche broke out.
All the doors would have been closed, so wouldn’t the monsters have passed by? It is to want to go with the hope of doing.
Today, I plan to stop by only those two places to farm and take a seat in a suitable place to rest.
And I need to raise the stats of both Jisoo and Sieun..
“Kheuheum!”
I tried to manage my expression by lowering the corners of my mouth that went up endlessly.
While I was thinking about all sorts of things, Ji-soo, who had dealt with the monsters, approached me and Si-eun.
I looked at Jisoo and frowned at him.
Jisoo’s body was considerably soiled by the bodily fluids of the monsters that had exploded.
I took out a wet tissue and wiped Jisoo’s face and body.
“.. I need to think of a means to wash it quickly. I won’t be able to wipe it with wet tissues forever.”
Farming is the only way to survive.
I took Shi-eun into the cradle of rest.
The state of the cradle of rest is full of clothes stuffed in.
I said to Shi-eun.
“Let’s organize all these things.. After hanging the clothes on the hangers, hang them on the hangers.”
I decided to write a respectful word for Shi-eun.
It was to prepare for the time when memories returned before death by using the Easy Restoration skill later.
Hearing my order, Shi-eun picked up clothes and hangers from the floor.
And then they stop and don’t know what to do.
I let out a small sigh and put the clothes on the hangers and put them on the hangers to demonstrate.
Why do I become a fool when I die and wake up?
“Do it like this. Like this.”
If you show a demonstration once, you will be able to do it right away.
After looking at Shi-eun with satisfaction, I came out of the cradle of rest.
I was going to leave Shi-eun tidying up the cradle, and farming was going to be just the two of me and Ji-soo.
Poetry right now won’t help much anyway.
As I was about to close the door of rest, I suddenly became worried.
‘Is it okay if I leave it inside and close the door? Won’t it disappear or something?’
Food and supplies were always there when the door was summoned and opened again.
But will the moving poem remain the same?
‘I have to experiment with things I don’t know.’
I closed the door, leaving Shi-eun working in the cradle.
The door slowly disappears before my eyes.
After running for about 100 meters in the direction I took Jisoo, I summoned the door to rest and opened it again.
Drooling
The inside of the Cradle of Rest is in the same state as before closing.
Shi-eun is arranging piles of food, furnishings, and clothes.
I let out a light sigh of relief.
‘Okay, no problem. It would be fine to leave it in the cradle of rest.’
I was relieved and closed the door of rest again.
‘Let’s go back now. It took up too much time.’
I started walking again with Jisoo.
While leaving the entertainment district and going to the mart, I encountered two groups of green monsters.
It was a group of 5 and 6 animals, respectively, and it was easy to handle because of the index.
‘The level doesn’t go up. It probably won’t come easy anymore. By the way, are there no more hulking monsters? Since I caught it in the PC room, I can’t see it anymore…’
When the big guy appeared, he tried to check Jisoo’s real skills, but he couldn’t be seen at all.
‘In the first place, the number of objects must be small. If there are a lot of dogs of that size, it’s a complete mess. Humans will barely survive.’
While I was thinking about this and that, I arrived at the mart.
I walked around the mart and looked at the exterior.
‘There are no broken doors. That there was no intrusion. ‘
I’m glad, I’m really glad
It was probably far from the residential and entertainment districts, so the monsters didn’t come all the way here.
Most of the people are still hiding and hiding rather than thinking about farming.
From the outside you can’t see inside at all.
Because the electricity went out, even the lights in the beverage fridge are off, so it’s only natural.
I thought of a plan to get into the mart.
‘How do I open it and get in? Wouldn’t the side door be better than the front door?’
It looks like you can break through the front door with enough force, but you don’t have to.
Uninvited guests may flock to see the destroyed mart gate.
I moved to another entrance on the side of the mart.
A tightly locked iron door and a lowered shutter.
I tried using a dragon to raise the shutter, but it wouldn’t budge.
‘He’s strong. I’m sure my stats have gone up quite a bit, so I’ll be two or three times stronger than normal men…’
But no problem.
I have an exponent.
“Go Jisoomon! Show me your ignorant power!”
At my command, Jisoo approached the shutter, crouched down, and put her hand into the groove at the bottom.
Let’s get up as it is! From the lower part of the shutter! The shutter went up with a sound.
All the locks that connected the ground and the shutters are ripped off and tattered.
“As expected, Jisoomon. It’s amazing. It’s attractive.”
Jisoo is unresponsive even to my praise.
Not feeling the fun of teasing, I grumbled and ordered the iron door to be opened.
The iron door opened with a crackling sound and the lock smashed open.
I looked at the alarm system hanging over the door and the logo of the private security company.
Normally, an alarm would go off the moment the door was damaged, and the private security company would have rushed in full force…
No response.
Well, even if there is a reaction, it’s not a situation where people can come all the way here in the first place.
I pushed the iron door and entered the mart.
The first thing you notice as soon as you enter is the smell of food.
It’s only been two days since the electricity went off, so it’s not a rotten, nasty smell, but it’s hard to say it’s a very good smell.
I closed the door with the lock broken and walked slowly into the dark interior.
‘Anyway, it’s too dark.’
I took out my smartphone and turned on the flashlight.
The battery of the smartphone is running out now.
When the battery runs out, it needs to be recharged, but since the electricity is out, I can’t think of a way to recharge it.
‘Well, if it doesn’t charge, I’ll stop. The internet is cut off anyway, so what’s the point?’
I looked around the store with a flashlight and thought about the items I needed to pack.
‘Let’s avoid refrigerated and frozen foods. It won’t last long, and it won’t be in very good condition.
It’s better to keep things that can be preserved for a long time.’
I went to the space in front of the cash register and summoned the door of rest.
I plan on carrying things and stacking them in the cradle of rest.
When I open the door of rest, I see Joo Joo Eun, who is still arranging her clothes on a hanger.
“Oh, but I’m almost done. Suffer a little more.”
Joo Joo-eun silently arranged her clothes without any response to my encouragement.
I looked inside the Cradle of Rest and thought.
‘No matter how you look at it, there’s not enough space. I have to push it in to put in a lot of food.. Uhm..’
I called Jisoo and had him bring all the refrigerated food out of the food piled up in the cradle of rest.
The food was in the refrigerator of the PC room, so it must be on the verge of spoiling. So, you don’t need to take up too much space.
Jisoo, who heard my order, went into the cradle of rest and started to come out with the piled food.
“Hey! Are you bringing only refrigerated food? What if I bring them all?”
At my cry, Jisoo stopped in place.
“I don’t think I have enough intelligence to distinguish refrigerated food… What a mess. Tsk”
Reluctantly, I went inside and sifted out only the refrigerated food.
However.
“.. What? Why are you in such good condition?”
Refrigerated food is in very good condition.
The Cradle of Rest is a very comfortable temperature for people to live in, but it is not a good temperature for food storage.
If it’s been left like that for two days, there should be at least a problem, even if it doesn’t get damaged.
“Are you too fine? Like it was just taken out of the fridge…”
I gazed into the cradle of rest, lost in thought.
‘Couldn’t it be that time doesn’t flow in there? No, it’s not that kind of concept. It’s not that time doesn’t flow.. It’s a different dimension than reality, so I’m not courted by time. Maybe this expression is more accurate… Then, does it mean that frozen food does not go bad even if you put it in?’
I’d like to experiment, but whole frozen foods don’t exist here.
Because everything melted.
‘If I’d known it would be like this, I’d have put the frozen food in the PC room… Too bad.’
When I packed the food in the PC room, I excluded the frozen food and took only the rest of the food.
If it melts, it will be difficult to handle.
‘What can I do? Let’s experiment by adding some refrigerated foods. If the food in the Cradle of Rest doesn’t spoil… That’s awesome. You can comfortably pack all the food without worrying about the expiration date, right?’
I pushed the refrigerated food I was going to throw outside back inside.
So the trouble started again.
‘There is no way to secure space in the Cradle of Rest. Everything in here is necessary for survival…’
A thought suddenly popped into my head as I was thinking about it.
‘Oh, right, there were skill points that haven’t been distributed yet, right? Shall we use it to raise the level of the ‘Gate of Rest’ skill?
Obviously, there was a thing called ‘Expansion’ in the derived skill of ‘Door of Rest’.
‘There’s no guarantee that the Cradle of Rest will expand as you level up, but if it just adds an MP consumption reduction effect, it’s absolutely ridiculous.
No. As the ‘Wake up’ skill also went up from level 2 to level 3, there was an additional effect of increasing the number of dependencies that could be caused by one. It will definitely have a not bad effect. If the space expansion doesn’t work, you can send Jisoo outside and hunt monsters. If you level up, the points will come soon.’
I decided to distribute my skill points to the ‘Door of Rest’ skill.
‘Ah.. I wanted to grow ‘Wake Up’ and quickly acquire the ‘Easy Restoration’ derivative skill… Unfortunately, I can’t help it. Let’s not be too hasty.’
Swallowing my regret, I distributed skill points to the ‘Door of Rest’ skill.
Then, a message popped up in front of my eyes.
[The ‘Door of Rest’ skill has reached level 3. The Cradle of Rest is expanded.]
