Chapter 304 – 304. Reason and Emotion, Ideal and Reality
Leisurely drink a potion in the bunker and run towards the storage master.
Since I went for a walk, there is no one who can stop my skills. Run towards the master without being impatient.
A marathon, not a sprint. My current skill level is Advanced 45%. There are about 2750 remaining. There are 69 potions that must be consumed.
I think I can finish it if I eat as much as I can today, take a nap, and wake up.
I would like to eat it all at once, but… No matter how old I am, it’s not easy to eat almost 70 in one sitting.
What is clear is that each person accepts the potion differently.
There are people like me and Anna who don’t feel too much of a burden, and there are also people like Seahna and Minhee who find it difficult to take potions.
Why? Is it like constitution? What… That’s something that can’t be helped.
In order to become strong in this damn world, many things must meet the conditions.
A dull spirit that won’t suffer even if you kill someone.
Brain skills that allow you to efficiently select skills and use them at the right time.
And the physicality that backs it up.
It’s the same everywhere. In the end, everything comes down to one thing.
Center. Energy. Sifter. Things are possible only if you follow three things.
Fortunately, I’m not that far behind on all three.
You can consider yourself lucky or blessed.
No… Is it a blessing to survive this long in this shitty world? Is it a curse?
Anyway, I am satisfied with my life now. And I have no intention of throwing away my life easily.
I will struggle fiercely and survive until the end despite being ugly and tough.
And while doing so, I will protect the precious people around me until the end. Even if I bear all the pain and misfortune they will experience.
Nice… I heard that if you master a skill while drinking potions, you will have a lot of random thoughts like this.
It would be nice to be able to clear my head.
Anna is practicing the invisibility skill next to me.
When he makes eye contact with me, he smiles. It feels like about 50 points of passion and anxiety just evaporate.
Since I am skilled in invisibility, it is a bit funny that the smiling figure appears and disappears repeatedly.
It looks like a broken hologram. Ah. No, no, no. It can’t be a hologram.
While I was practicing storage, I also used detection once.
Seunghee, Mina, and Se-Ah are still shaking outside.
What on earth are you going to do, and how long are you not coming in yet? Isn’t it just an excuse to not be a Rex or a Tyranno and keep skipping skills?
Since there are no signs of people around anyway, I just watch through detection and continue to improve my skills.
Has it been like that for about an hour? Only then did the three women come in.
A bright look. And a satisfied face.
“What? Did it go well?”
“Yes! Rex and all the other dogs came to our house!”
Seunghee speaks excitedly with red cheeks.
Mina and Se-ah also smile and take off their clothes.
“What did you do so quickly?”
“Rex, he’s so smart! I guess he’s the boss for no reason! Even when I say something strange, he just takes care of it!? It’s no joke!”
I really like Se-ah like a little child. She seems to be quite good. It’s the first time I’ve seen something I like so much recently.
“Should we take a shower? Our bodies and clothes are all a mess.”
“Huh? Yeah.”
The three women could take off everything, but instead of taking it off, they each went in to wash.
Tsk. I feel sad for some reason. And Anna looks at me like it’s funny.
“Huh? Why. Why me?”
I was stabbed for no reason, so I said something and started practicing the skill again.
I feel like I want to go in and wash together.
But the reason I didn’t do that was because I didn’t know which of the three to join. Really… It must be an extravagant worry.
We need a bathroom where we can all wash together at once. How can there be no way?
It would be impossible to build a large bathroom here. In the end, there is only one way.
Learn the gate skill quickly and connect to a well-equipped bathroom.
Then, you go through the gate with the four naked women and come back to wash up. Okay. Good.
I wish Gate had that kind of skill. Surely it’s not some other strange skill?
Teleportation, and gate.
Common sense tells me that the skills I think are usually correct.
Anyone who has played the game even a little bit would probably think so. Would they really put out a strange skill with a name like that?
If it’s not that kind of skill… This is something that can’t be solved by just hitting the bastard who created the skill.
Of course, the level of honey chestnuts has already passed a long time ago. Now I have to tie him up and spank him.
Anyway… It is a tier 9 skill, and the skill tree is a definite skill.
It is an essential skill that must be learned at all costs. If this happens, a lot of things will become easier.
Considering the skills that have been released so far, teleportation and gates are somewhat predictable.
Possible to teleport/gate to a designated location. Each time you play Intermediate, Advanced, or Master, one point increases. Like this?
So in the end, if you master it, you will be able to move to four places.
It is said that you can play all day on the Maldives beach, take a bath in a Japanese ryokan, and sleep in a hotel in Manhattan with a view of Central Park.
Plus, the more people you go with, the more effective it becomes. It means that if you take a picture of a point anywhere in the world, you can move around as much as you want.
The problem is… What kind of variables are there?
Surely there wouldn’t be some kind of distance limit or something like that? Then, I think I’ll just scream ‘fuck you’.
Anyway, I continue to improve my skills while thinking about teleportation and gates.
Anyway, the prerequisite skill, Blink, is not available right now. To learn a skill, you must first master the skills you have.
While I was thinking that, Se-ah, who had washed up, came out to the living room.
Perhaps because it was warm inside the bunker, SeAh came out wearing only a light sports bra and short shorts.
No matter how comfortable they are with each other… Isn’t the outfit too poor?
Thank you.
“Are you here to practice skills?”
As I spoke, Se-ah came to my side. Sit quietly next to me.
And then Se-Ah says nothing. What? Do you have anything to say?
The atmosphere is so different from when I went in to take a shower.
While Se-ah was taking a break, Seung-hee and Mina came out to the living room and sat together.
After looking at Se-ah, Seung-hee and Mina realize that the atmosphere is a bit subtle and quietly begin practicing their skills.
I bought potions for those girls and put them on the table.
“Oppa.”
Se-Ah, who had been silent for a while, opens her mouth.
“Why?”
“Can we afford to feed them?”
“No. There is none.”
“Isn’t that true?”
They probably talked about this among themselves above too, right?
Seunghee and Mina carefully listen to what SeAh says and look at me.
“If it was just one boss guy, I could give it as much as I want. But didn’t you bring them all? There’s no way he could have come alone, right?”
“That’s right. I brought all my subordinates, females, and puppies.”
“The numbers are pretty good, right? Then it must be a mess out there right now.”
“It’s a mess… Ah. It’s a mess.”
“That’s bullshit. Anyway, there’s no way we can feed them all with that many. It’s got to be one or two. They’re almost 30, right?”
“It goes far beyond…”
“It would have been possible at a time when the world had just collapsed. All you had to do was go here and there and bring dog food. But now, isn’t that too much? All that dog food must have already rotted and dried out.”
“Ha.”
“Did you just bring him here without worrying about that? Are you finally thinking about that?”
“No… No. I was thinking about catching that wild boar like that before and giving it to him.”
“Is that possible? It’s not like a wild boar periodically comes down from the mountain to ask you to kill it.”
“Maybe my brother…”
Se-ah also opens her mouth cautiously, as if she knows she is asking a bit too much.
“Of course, it’s possible. It’s not difficult to fly around, put a few to sleep, kill them, and then put them in storage.”
“Really? Then…”
“But.”
“Huh?”
“How long?”
“How long?”
“I don’t know how much they eat. And I don’t know if they can survive by eating only wild boars, elk, and things like that. Of course, they can get some food. But… How long do we have to do that? There’s a reason why farming and ranching are so important in human history. It’s not that difficult to catch wild animals nearby and throw them to them. But what if the surrounding wild animals go further and further away? At some point, I won’t be the one looking for food for the dogs.
It may seem a little harsh, but I’m talking about a realistic situation.
Dog. Of course, it’s good. If you only look at its strengths, it is an animal that is beneficial to keep around.
It’s a biological alarm system. They are loyal guys who bark to let you know when an enemy appears. In addition, it is an excellent security system that can be used 24 hours a day and has a sense of smell that can detect transparency.
However, the reason people gave up despite knowing this was ultimately due to maintenance costs.
It is quite difficult to raise dogs in a situation where it is difficult to even find food for oneself.
“That… Haha…”
“I’m not saying anything about you giving affection to them. Seunghee and Mina, I think it’s okay for you to want a puppy. But… None of you have thought about things like their upkeep. I just vaguely wish we could be together. I hope we can raise them. “I just thought like that.”
The women couldn’t respond to my bitter words and looked a bit solemn.
Maybe… I think this is the first time I’ve scolded them like this.
In all this time, I have never been scolded like this for anything.
Because they were not thoughtless women.
Even though it was uncomfortable and difficult, there was no need for this because they silently tolerated and understood.
But this case is different.
A situation where emotions have eaten reason.
A situation that was avoided without any solution.
A situation that goes beyond the scope of their responsibility.
Something like this needs to be said. Rather, it is a good thing. Because this can remind them of what they did wrong.
“Then… What should I do?”
I think I passed just because I didn’t recklessly make a fuss.
Not all women do that, but… Most women let go when a situation arises that they cannot take responsibility for.
Aftereffects, responsibilities, repercussions… I don’t care about that.
And if Seunghee, Mina, Se-Ah, and Anna were women like that, I wouldn’t have thought about living together.
There’s no need for that. No matter how good it is, it’s not true. I am not the father of these women.
“You guys have already done the work. Well, since we have the wild boar carcass, we have some time, right? Think for yourself. How can we provide food for those dogs? Let’s think about it, come up with the most plausible solution, and talk again. Um… Think about it until lunch tomorrow. Everyone is responsible, too.”
“I understand.”
Se-Ah nods her head, and Seung-Hee and Mina also reply that they understood without any complaints.
Okay. This is why I like these women.
Anyone can make mistakes. The important thing is after that.
Acknowledging one’s mistakes, taking responsibility for them, and correcting them.
It’s very basic, but… When a situation arises, there are very few people who do this properly.
Not admitting mistakes, trying to avoid responsibility, and neglecting to fix them.
Because that is the basic attribute of humans.
“Don’t worry too much. That’s what I’m here for. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to find a way to solve it yourself.”
The three’s expressions brightened a little at my words.
Ugh. I have a problem too. When you’re strict, you can be a little stricter. When I look at them, my heart becomes infinitely weaker…
