Chapter 592 – Farm Story: Vespin Town
Seong-il picks it up with a worried expression and leaves the temple.
‘Well… It’s okay to carry it. It’s just that I can’t take it to another world until I pay the customs duty, so there’s no problem with carrying it.’
With that thought in mind, Seong-il grabs a piece of leaf and tries to project a response on the Orb of the Sky he picked up a while ago.
『Orb of the Sky: 100,000 Points』
* Depending on the owner’s will, it can cause a weather phenomenon once a day for an hour. (Rain, snow, wind, thunder and lightning, etc.)
* Weather phenomena can be implemented automatically without a command at a specific time every day.
* When additional item abilities are needed, the ability can be used continuously in the form of consuming the user’s mana.
‘Hmm… The specs of the items I knew are the same…’
A heavenly orb with ambiguous performance that is neither good nor bad. It’s a convenient thing to have, but since the point value is 100,000, Seong-il puts it in his bosom with a sour expression on his face.
“Shit… Except for the fact that I learned the story behind it, I didn’t get anything that would be of much help to me right away…”
Strictly speaking, a piece of leaf could be an important thing to Seong-il, but he didn’t know how to use it yet, so he didn’t feel particularly inspired.
‘Shall we go back?’
As long as you cleared everything you could do. Seong-il sets out on his farm again to subdue his goddess.
***
『Large… How could you do that!? How the hell did you bring that?!?!!?”
Seongil really meteorite. When he brought the core, he shouted with the astonished voice of the goddess.
“You want to bring it?”
“What is he saying now!! I just gave you a quest to bring me a fragment of a meteorite!! I really didn’t mean to bring his body!! Where do you see that, is it a meteorite?!」
‘Ah, fuck… Did I just have to bring the real crumbs?’
Seong-il frowns when she realizes that she misunderstood and carried out the quest given by the goddess.
‘…No way, since I brought the main body of the meteorite, not the fragments, the quest is invalid, right?’
Seong-il takes out a scroll connected to the chain of chaos with a slightly nervous expression. Then, the appearance of a full hourglass appeared.
‘Oh. Isn’t the causal rate incredibly full!?’
The amount of causality in the hourglass that blows away worries. Seong-il speaks to the goddess with an elated expression.
“Well, the quest was successful…”
“No!! How the hell did you restrain that ‘existence’?! That’s something that even the great gods of ancient times couldn’t do?! How?!』
Shocked by how great it is, the goddess continues to mutter to herself, ignoring the words of her holy day.
‘…I must have been shocked quite a bit?’
But, that’s for a while. Seong-il thinks that the goddess deserves a big enough shock.
‘Well… If you’re the Harvest Goddess, the enemy of the ancient gods, then you’ll know how powerful and dangerous the ‘egg’ sealed in the cursed meteorite is, so what I’ve done today will feel shocking.’
Originally, she was a saint who tried to tempt the goddess. However, he briefly changes her mind and decides to give her goddess a light explanation of her situation.
“Ah, actually, I have a cosmic relic? It has the power to erase the divinity and immortality of the being it touches. I guess that’s why?”
After saying that, Seongil takes her arunrabe and taps her transparent part with her finger to get the goddess’ attention and says:
“…Uh?”
Perhaps because she was shocked, she was a goddess who did not recognize Arun Rabe. When Arunrabe, who has changed into a transparent container, enters her eyes, her expression begins to turn into astonishment once again.
『You… You!! What the hell… What is it!?』
“Hmm?”
Seeing her surname with a puzzled expression at the sudden attitude of the goddess, she half-shouted and shouted with a tone that the goddess was dumbfounded.
『Human!! How!! So powerful!! Are you holding an artifact?! Even at a glance, I can feel the tremendous essence and soul!! No!! From the point of being recognized as an Artifact in the first place… What the hell are you…?!]
She understood that he was a special person to some extent because it was her holy day when she used a powerful consumable artifact on herself, but when he held the Arun Rabe-class cosmic holy object, she finally couldn’t stand her frustration and doubts. Shout out loud.
“What is it? The person who will be your master from now on. If I look great, just serve me…”
『Don’t talk bullshit!! You!! I… I think he’s trying to threaten me by picking up a useful artifact!! I am the goddess who inherited the lineage of this world! Obey me right now!! Hurry!”
‘…I think he’s scared?’
Although she was shouting, her voice could sense the obvious fear and panic in her voice.
‘Hey… If I’m a mortal who has a weapon that can kill me and subdue my nemesis, the Dragon of the End, I’d be afraid even if I were a goddess.’
After thinking about things for a while, Seong-il calls out strongly to the goddess to stop her delusion and continue what she was doing.
“Stop talking bullshit, and get ready to accept my quest. Bitch.”
『This… This year?! You’re really dead…”
The time when the goddess, enraged by the insulting words of her holy day, glared at her holy day. Her holy day reaps her scroll and Arun Rabe upon her in exchange for her answer.
『Heeek…!!』
The goddess puts on a really frightened look as her powerful restraints radiate from her scrolls, and her meteorite, which she fears, is aimed at, a weapon that can really harm her.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Just decide whether you want to fulfill the contract or become my slave. Ah! Now there’s one more. There’s also one that quietly pierces this Arunrabe and perishes forever.”
『…』
Unlike before, the threat of this Holy Day does not feel like a simple bluff, so the goddess glances at her Holy Day with a firm expression unlike before.
‘…Cute.’
Seeing her goddess figure with her frightened expression on her rain-soaked, puppy-like expression, her seong-il even forgets her thoughts of training her for the moment.
『Ha… You can do it!! That Quest… Quest!! Do you think I can’t fulfill it?!』
‘It’s a bluff.’
She is a goddess of harvest with many loopholes in her way of speaking and behavior, perhaps because she is a god who does not fully possess divinity. Her holy days, when she senses that she is afraid of herself, presses her goddess even harder.
“Oh~ Confident? Originally, I was just going to promote and dance for 10 stores for a week like before, but…”
『…』
“Goddess, you gave a quest of ridiculous difficulty, and this time the rate of causality accumulated so much, right? I have to pay the price.”
『Hey…』
Even in her own eyes, the amount of causality she has accumulated by clearing her quest this time is truly staggering, so the goddess puts on a really frightened expression.
“That’s why I’m giving you, goddess, a quest like this! Until this causality rate is consumed, I’ll work as a dancer in my tavern!!”
『Chit…!!』
Although expected, upon hearing her geared affirmation from the mortal in front of her eyes, the goddess begins to rot her expression in humiliation.
“By the way! Did you know that the law of causality is consumed only when ‘obscene’ acts are performed?”
“What!?”
“What are you pretending to be surprised about? You’ve done all the quests I gave you until the other day.
『Hey…』
Perhaps frightened by the bluff of the holy day, the goddess cowers her body like a pitiful little bird, and her body begins to tremble.
“Then come here by 7pm in three days? I’ll show you what you’re going to do from there.”
『…』
Leaving behind her frozen goddess, Seong-il moves her body to the Pineapple House.
***
“By any chance, how did the business with the mayor go?”
After completing her Goddess Quest, Seong-il meets her Pirina at the Little Pineapple House and asks for her report.
“Oh, both TV and radio accepted the request for advertisements, surprisingly.”
“…Really?”
Seong-il, who thought that negative public opinion would be large, was even prepared to brainwash her opponents if the backlash was greater than necessary depending on what she reported. However, when Pirina tells him that she has completed her work without any problems, he expresses surprise.
“Hehe… Yes! Instead, the cost went up a bit.”
With that said, Pirina reveals to her seongil about her advertising expenses and the amount of bribes she paid to her manager.
“It’s not small, but…Well. I can handle this much.”
For some reason, the customs price of gold coins was only 1 point per coin. Therefore, Seong-il had purchased 10,000 gold coins obtained from the dragon’s nest he had beaten in the cursed throne world, so he was not feeling any financial burden at the moment.
“Yes. Young master gave us a lot of funds for our activities, so it’s easy for us to do this and that?”
“Yes. But did you manage to exchange gold coins?”
“Hehe. The mayor of Mineral City seems to be a person who is surprisingly talented at this kind of work? After looking at it, he was of the same type as me… The job was surprisingly easy.”
“Ohh…”
Big city. It seems that there was a subtle aspect of being a mayor of a city with a large political symbol. Hearing that Pirina, who is from the head of the thieves’ guild, evaluates her as a ‘similar’ class to her, while she finds her sex work interesting, Pirina begins to write reports about her advertisements.
“Radio is going to briefly advertise that it is an adult-only festival with a goddess motif… TV will air adult programs that can only be seen after 11 p.M. That’s it! Right now, the date starts today!”
“Already…?”
Seong-il puts on a slightly embarrassed expression when Pirina says that she caught and even filmed her advertisement in just two days.
“It was surprisingly not difficult. In this world, cable TV is just developing. There is plenty of demand for advertisements there. Besides, maybe it’s not their world… Yo. This.”
“Aha…”
“In addition, part-timers are mobilizing part-timers to spread the strange profile pictures of followers such as Erica, and the response is explosive!”
“You did that? You’re very resourceful…?”
Pirina’s skill like a businesswoman. As she genuinely admires her holy days, she starts to smile, as if her mood has improved.
“You can’t just admire it! The first concert in two days will be explosive!”
“…How do you know that?”
At the words of Pirina, who confidently says that she will make her first lewd show a success, she asks Seong-il with a puzzled look on her face.
“Whoops… Our bar will operate on a partial membership and reservation system. Customers who have not purchased tickets in advance are not allowed to enter.”
“What!? You did something like that?!”
“Yes. It’s tiring when we have more customers than we need. Our purpose is to train goddesses, not to make money, right? If we get more customers than we need and control becomes more difficult, we’ll have more trouble.”
“Oh… That’s right.”
Seong-il admires Pirina’s sharp handling of the part he overlooked.
“Whoa… What are you looking forward to? Whatever you expect, we will show you more.”
“Oh…”
Pirina’s answer is so trustworthy. Her holy days nod her head like a child being presented with her toy.
‘Okay… Is everything going according to plan? If I go this way, I will be able to quickly destroy the goddess.’
When her plan goes smoothly according to her own will, her seongil moves her steps towards her own quarters with her mischievous smile.
