Chapter 487 – The Moment of Choice (2)
Any wish can come true.
Even though he heard the words like a dream, Seo Ju-hwan could not be genuinely happy.
Of course, the moment I heard it, my heart was pounding with excitement. How can I not get excited when he says that he makes wishes come true?
However, the production conditions of the ‘wish stone’ were too difficult to be happy.
‘Ten talent stones? At what age do you collect them?’
There are 10 pieces needed to make one S-class Talent Stone.
In other words, in order to produce the wish stone, it means that he must have relationships with 90 women with S-level talent in the future.
‘How long did it take me to make one talent stone?’
It has been about 1 year and 9 months since the regression.
In simple calculations, it would take 15 years and 7-8 months to assemble the next 90 pieces of talent.
About 16 years.
Seo Joo-hwan’s current age is 24 years old, so it was not until he was 40 years old that he could produce a wish stone.
Seo Ju-hwan thought hard.
‘Time can be shortened somehow.’
He was confident
The time of 1 year and 9 months is the time it took when he did not act actively.
On the other hand, now I have already decided to drop out of college.
If he was looking for a woman with S-class talent in earnest, he would be able to save a few years.
‘And if I apply the Blessing of the Dream Demon all the time, I’ll be able to cut down the time even more.’
The Dream Demon’s Blessing consumes 100,000LP per day. If this is applied all the time, it will be very burdensome. However, if you start your activities in earnest, you will earn a lot of income, so you can afford it. Aren’t you earning a few million points every month right now?
And there are several other ways to save time.
It is a way to actively use the advice of Gabriella, who has magical powers of prophecy, or to travel all over the world to find women.
Seo Joo-hwan suddenly remembered the prophecy Gabriella had made when she met Eun-yul.
– Wanderlust is great. What kind of promise are you going around the world to keep?
It was only now that I fully understood what he was saying. He was destined to travel all over the world to create the ‘wish stone’.
Anyway, the time problem can be reduced somehow. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to craft a wishing stone before you turn thirty.
‘The real problem isn’t that.’
Then what is the problem
Seo Joo-hwan calmly read Jae-seok’s explanation once again.
【S-rank Talent Stone】
▶ Effect 1: You can select one talent and raise the potential grade limit to S grade. However, it is only applicable to A+ grade talents.
▶ Effect 2: You can make a ‘Wish Stone’ by collecting 10 Talent Stones. However, the Wish Stone can only be crafted once.
An explanation attached like a caution to effect number 2. This phrase, ‘however, a wish stone can only be crafted once’ was a problem.
One-time production.
In other words, there is only one wish that can come true.
On the other hand, the moment Seo Joo-hwan learned about So-won-seok, there were two earnest wishes that came to mind.
One is, of course, to make Lucy a human being.
And the other one.
‘It is legally living together with everyone in Korea…….’
Some might say what a ridiculous wish it is. It could be seen as weighing with Lucy just for personal sex.
However, it was a very serious problem for the party, Seo Joo-hwan. Because this wish was not only because of his personal desire his.
– Hey, Joo-hwan. Actually I like it now. I just want it to stay like this.
That’s what Jeong Ha-yeon said.
She didn’t want the fragile relationship to be broken. She was afraid of the catastrophe that would one day lead to this absurd relationship where many women share one man.
Seo Joo-hwan knew that Jeong Ha-yeon was not the only person with such thoughts.
He recalled what he sometimes joked about.
‘I told you to go to the Middle East…… ‘
Actually, I was half serious. I guess she thought of it as a last resort.
It is obvious, but it is a dream that is close to impossible in reality.
Marriage is such a big deal that it can be called a humanitarian event. This is because family members are closely connected, not just the union of individuals. It means that it is not a problem that can be easily solved by persuading only his women. As in any harem novel, the development of ‘I went to the Middle East, got married and lived happily ever after’ was not as easy as I thought.
Let’s say you persuade all your parents and go to the Middle East to get married.
Will that end the problem?
A person born in Korea is polygamous in the 21st century. It’s obvious what the public eye will look like. Moreover, by the time the wishing stone is made, it will be famous enough to be recognized anywhere in the world. But I can’t even think of picking just one and discarding the others.
I didn’t show off like this, but Seo Joo-hwan had a lot of worries in his own way.
However, in this situation, he found out about the existence of the ‘Wish Stone’ that can solve all problems at once, so it was inevitable that it would be a conflict.
Just like that, when Seo Joo-hwan is immersed in confused thoughts.
Lucy said in a calm voice.
[Master, making a wish stone is not the end.]
Seo Joo-hwan opened his closed eyes and asked in a rather weak voice.
“… What else do you have?”
[The wishing stone can make any wish come true. Instead, the corresponding LP is consumed. Depending on the extent to which the master’s wishes affect the causality rate, the required LP will change.]
“You mean you need a lot of points?”
[It’s just not much needed. In order to achieve the master’s wish, even if it is set as a minimum, a trillion units are needed. So you have to diligently collect them in the future!]
Even if you take it as a minimum, it is in trillions.
It’s already a heinous difficulty, but even the points consumed are long.
However, Seo Joo-hwan was more concerned about Lucy’s voice of hers, which was so unconcerned and even cheerful, than such adversity.
“My wish…… ?”
[Yes, in order to fulfill the master’s wish, you must now reveal your abilities. In that sense, dropping out of college was a very good choice. Just a few months later, the movie 〈 Stalker 〉, which was filmed this time, will also be released, so I took advantage of that opportunity…….]
Seo Ju-hwan, who had been listening quietly, interrupted her and asked again.
“What do you think Lucy thinks is my wish?”
[Yeah…….]
Lucy slurred her words.
Seo Joo-hwan was sure of that reaction.
‘You must have already given up.’
Suddenly, I remembered what Lucy had once said.
– Master, turning me into a human would be a nuisance to you. You have to give up other possibilities.
– In the future, when information restrictions are lifted and you know how to do that, I will never resent you, Master, even if you withdraw your current remarks.
– Lucy was moved enough by the owner’s heart right now.
Lucy didn’t expect that she’d be able to be the person she was from the beginning. She never said she wanted to be the person she was first. No, it was all he was asking and answering.
Silence for a while.
It was Lucy who broke the silence. She said in a soft tone.
[Master, don’t mind me. As long as the owner is happy, Lucy is enough.]
“…….”
Seo Joo-hwan could not readily answer. He couldn’t easily give up either of his two wishes his.
“Wait, wait a minute. I’ll think about it.”
[Master…….]
Seo Joo-hwan gently closed his eyes. He was sorry to see Lucy like this, but it wasn’t something he could impulsively assert.
Time passed just like that.
Seo Joo-hwan thought for a long time with his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep. At dawn, until the twilight dissipates and the sun shines.
Soon, Seo Joo-hwan, who opened his eyes with a complicated expression, opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Lucy, I…….”
*
The late morning was bright.
Seo Joo-hwan, still energetic, prepared a meal for breakfast and lunch. He cooked like that, woke the women up, and finished the meal together.
It was in the afternoon when the sun rose in the middle of the sky when the party got into the car.
Seo Ju-hwan looked back at the women and asked.
“Did everyone get on? Raise your hand, the one who didn’t ride.”
Jeong Ha-yeon, sitting in her passenger seat, tapped her on the shoulder and said.
“How could you raise your hand when you didn’t get on, you idiot.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
“Why are you like this this morning? You seem to have some screws missing?”
“I must have overworked myself yesterday.”
“Ah…”
Jeong Ha-yeon immediately understood. The other women shook their heads, saying that they deserved it.
“Juhwan-ah, should I just drive?”
Choi Mi-hwa, the only one of the women, asked anxiously.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“It’s okay. It’s not that tidy.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“Anyway, since we’re all on board, let’s go. Have you fastened your seat belt?”
“Yes!”
“Hwani oppa, play the song!”
“Yes, Sua is in charge of selecting the songs. Connect via Bluetooth.”
“Okaying!”
Han Soo-ah immediately connected the Bluetooth and played her song her. For reference, she and Seo Joo-hwan share similar tastes in music.
– On the green hill! Put on your stomach!
Seo Ju-hwan thought while listening to music.
‘When are we going to leave…….’
The time for his trip was approaching.
– Let’s go on a trip~♪
