Chapter 308 – 308. Tenth Skill 2
Four women sitting around.
Se-Ah with a complicated expression, Seung-Hee with a furrowed brow, Mina with a frustrated expression, and Anna always with a bright smile.
I looked at Se-Ah, and she avoided her gaze.
Okay. It’s worth it. There is no way there is a sharp number. Your mind is probably very complicated.
“Okay then… Shall we tell you, Ms. Yoon Se-ah? About what to do with the dogs barking above you?”
I was given the right to speak, but there was no way I had anything to say.
I went up earlier and came back to find that only the bones of the wild boar carcass remained.
No, there weren’t many bones left. Because the dogs tore it all up and licked it up.
Se-ah saw it too, so she probably won’t have anything to say. 30 dogs.
She is not capable of handling it.
I may be a little harsh, but… These guys need to know too.
The weight of taking responsibility for something.
The fact that nothing can be solved with emotions alone and that if you only think about cancer in your head, nothing will happen unless you actually take action.
“Well… If you farm sweet potatoes…”
“Dismissed.”
“Oh why!”
“Think and speak. This is not a place where you have to make excuses. Don’t try to lower my evaluation further by saying strange things for no reason.”
“Haa…”
SeAh sighs.
It must be difficult. No matter how hard you try to grasp something that has no answer, nothing will come out.
That… This is a problem that cannot be resolved on SeAH’s behalf. And I know it.
There is only one thing I want from Se-Ah. I don’t want an answer. Admitting her own mistakes and failures.
“I don’t know. I was so clumsy. I’m sorry.”
And Se-ah is as smart a child as I thought. A woman who can admit her mistakes right away.
Okay. That’s why she lives together. I am… No matter how pretty and cute she is, she has no intention of living with the wrong woman.
“Okay. I admitted it, so it’s okay.”
She stroked Se-Ah’s head, and this time she didn’t protest at all.
Cute guy. I want to keep stroking it like this.
“Seunghee and Mina are probably the same. Anna too? Is there a better way?”
Seunghee and Mina, who were looking troubled, nod their heads. The same goes for Anna. There is no way we can come up with an answer in such a short period of time.”
“I’ll solve it this once.”
Everyone looks at me at my words.
A face with a mixture of surprise and puzzlement. Even if he doesn’t say anything, the expression he looks at me is the expression ‘How?’.
“There are many skills to learn… Skills to kill people or defend one’s body are important, but in the end, we have to live. To live, we need more than just food, clothing, and shelter. Daily necessities, consumables, and various items that improve the quality of life. There are many, many things, but we lost everything as time went by. How much more can we use, like the shampoo we are using now? 〉
What I said. It’s probably something that everyone hasn’t thought about.
Items produced more than 5 years ago. Now, there are many things that are not in perfect condition.
The toilet paper has started to dry, so I don’t even want to use it.
I still don’t know how to use detergent and shampoo, but I still feel anxious.
Food… Although we have become more abundant by receiving food from the fence, the food we can eat is ultimately limited.
Yujeong’s sister-in-law didn’t grow tomatoes for nothing. Even ketchup has become a nostalgic sauce.
“There is a skill called regression. It is a skill that can be learned only by learning the storage skill. At first, it was a skill that caught a lot of imagination because of the name. Regression. Usually, when you think of regression, it is like returning to the past. Right?”
Before I knew it, the four women were immersed in my story. When I hear the word regression, my expression becomes a little wistful.
Okay. So did I. It’s not that I haven’t thought about how it would be nice if the world could go back to before it was destroyed.
But that is almost impossible.
First, it is not only a question of whether the skill creators have the capabilities to implement such skills… There’s no way I could create a skill like that.
Moreover, since it is a skill related to storage, the intention was visible to some extent.
Return of remaining objects. I don’t know how far it will go, but it will be right.
“I think that if I learn and use this skill… I can return the remaining items to their past state.”
“Hey…”
Se-ah opens her mouth and makes a sound, but closes her mouth in surprise when she hears the sound she made.
After seeing her and laughing, I opened her skill window.
“Of course, there’s a high chance that my thoughts are delusional. But I can’t think of any other effects for this. The only difference is probably the time limit. How much regression can you do? To that extent?”
This is the first time since I started learning skills that I have been able to use skills as I want without any information.
I only took pictures of skills that I had clearly seen and knew were effective. Actually my first time gambling.
A die that doesn’t know whether it will roll a 1 or a 6. Still, I give it a try. Because I don’t think it’s at least 1.
Moreover, the next skill is replication. I have to take a picture just for this. Please… I hope this skill is as effective as you think.
I clicked on the skill selection box and clicked regression.
[300,000 coins are consumed to learn the ‘Reversion’ skill. Would you like to learn?]
300,000. Good. It feels good. 300,000 won has never disappointed me.
I immediately clicked yes, and a regression skill appeared in the skill window.
“Okay. Is there anything to test?”
Se-ah suddenly enters the room and comes out carrying something.
“Could something like this happen…?”
Se-Ah brought a 0.5L plastic bottle. There are a lot of small beads-like things inside.
“What is this?”
“Ah… Tear gas…”
“Tear gas? Ah! The one you threw when we first met?”
“Uh.”
“But why are you putting this in a place like this?”
“No… This once exploded in my bag and made a mess… So I moved it like this…”
“Then shouldn’t you just take this out? Empty what’s inside.”
“It’s okay. It won’t explode like that. Just a moment.”
Se-Ah takes out the small beads inside. He holds out the empty plastic bottle to me.
“Hmm… Will it work? If it does, I’ll buy it.”
Use the skill towards the plastic bottle.
“Return!”
Something has changed… I don’t know exactly.
Does the plastic bottle feel a little cleaner?
“What’s changed?”
Se-ah looked at me and said, and I shrugged my shoulders. Well, we can try again, right?
“Return!”
Plastic bottles that haven’t changed much.
The skill level has clearly increased. Both times. The story is that the skills are going well.
Everyone has a puzzled look on their faces, but since their skills are increasing, it means that something is going on. I’ll try it again right away.
“Return!”
Suddenly a label appeared and a lid appeared. And the black liquid filled inside.
“Huh!?”
All four women, including me, looked bewildered.
Se-ah quickly grabs it and turns the lid.
Crackling
Oh my god. The sound of opening a new bottle… SeAh checks the contents inside.
“Ugh.”
“Why?”
“It smells strange?”
“Really?”
Mina takes it and smells her, and she also makes an impression on her. Both Seunghee and Anna smell the scent once, and they look the same.
Hmm… Is that so?
“Put it down.”
Anna put down the plastic bottle, and I used the skill again.
“Return!”
The lid that had clearly been left open has appeared again. The lid that was on the table disappeared.
I stop Se-Ah from taking it again with my hand and try the skill again.
“Return!”
The appearance doesn’t seem to have changed, but the skill level has increased. Then one more time…
“Return!”
The skill level did not increase. Then… This…
I immediately picked up the cola and opened the cap.
Crackling
And I can feel a clear difference from before. Brown rising bubbles.
The women’s eyes widen when they see that. Looks like there’s a lot of anticipation. And it was the same for me too.
When you open the lid, a little white steam comes out. Oh… This…
My heart starts pounding. I put it to my mouth and tasted it slightly.
“Ugh! What are you doing!?”
Se-ah shouted in surprise, but I didn’t care.
It’s lukewarm, but… This is definitely a taste I know. Carbonic acid, sugar, and the mysterious taste of cola.
“Oooh…”
The women’s curiosity grew after seeing my reaction. SeAh quickly takes the plastic bottle I was holding and drinks it.
Her eyes widen. Everyone looks at Se-Ah with such concentration.
After carefully tasting the food, Se-ah looks at us and shouts.
“Coke!”
“Really!?”
“Really!?”
Seunghee takes it, tastes it, and looks surprised.
Mina and Anna immediately take a sip and look shocked.
And… I think everyone thought the same thing when they looked at me.
“Let’s go out!”
At my words, everyone rushes to their respective rooms to get dressed.
Women hurriedly putting on clothes and jumping out.
We came out of the bunker right away, and as soon as we came out, Rex and other wild dogs glanced at us.
“Where are we going!?”
“Convenience store!”
I answer SeAh’s cry right away.
I feel like I want to fly right away, but Mina, Se-ah, and Anna don’t have a flight yet.
We followed them and ran to the nearest convenience store, but the wild dogs chased us.
Why are they running? It’s hilarious.
We arrived at the convenience store.
I’m not out of breath because I flew in, but Mina, Se-ah, and Anna are out of breath, probably because they ran in such a hurry.
As expected, Seunghee, who was completely calm after flying in, quickly looks around the convenience store.
A convenience store that has already been robbed and has nothing left to do.
But Seunghee found something there and picked it up.
“Use this skill!”
Chocolate bar box.
I used the skill on the box without hesitation.
There wasn’t much change when I used the skill, but since I saw the cola earlier, I continued to use the skill, and when the fourth skill was used, the candy bar box became a clean box, as if it had just been made.
Seunghee opens the box right away. I took out a chocolate bar and opened the wrapper.
“Yum.”
Without hesitation, Seunghee puts it into her mouth and looks ecstatic.
And when Mina, Se-ah, and Anna saw that, they immediately picked up a chocolate bar, peeled the shell, and put it in their mouths.
“Huh.”
“This… This taste.”
“It’s delicious!”
Various reactions. But count it. Are you so happy that you cry?
Se-Ah cries while continuing to chew the chocolate bar. I think it’s perfect. It’s funny yet sad.
I also took out a chocolate bar and opened the shell.
It was a really common thing before the world fell apart.
Now it has become something that no longer exists. Chocolate. Is it possible to implement it?
Can I start with cacao farming?
After taking a bite, I understood Se-Ah’s feelings.
A sweet taste that spreads in your mouth, a taste that seems to numb your mouth.
And it’s not just sweet, it’s a complex flavor.
Was a chocolate bar such a thrilling food? . I almost cried. SeAH deserves it.
The women ate the chocolate bars one by one like they were hiding their eyes. Then, his eyes light up, and he starts looking for other things.
“Me! Me! This! This! No matter what happens, this!”
Se-ah finds a Haagen Da
And Seunghee, Mina, and Anna saw that and stood close next to Se-Ah and looked at me.
Ice cream. Nice… Okay. It’s an extravagant name. I thought I’d never see you again.
I used the skill with the mindset of a praying priest.
Once, twice, three times, and four times.
Saa, who was holding an empty Haagen Da
A bucket of ice cream containing a cold feeling.
Se-Ah opens the lid with her trembling hands, and her eyes become moist again when she sees the contents inside.
“It’s cold…”
Before I know it, Mina picks up a plastic spoon from the floor and holds it out to me.
Uh… Is this also using regression? Well, it looks a bit dirty to wash and use.
After using regression four times, the spoon came back as good as new. A clean spoon with no scratches.
Se-Ah takes it and scoops up a spoonful of ice cream and puts it straight into her mouth.
A single tear flowing down the cheek.
“Hey. Isn’t it a bit over the top to even cry?”
“Make noise and try eating.”
SeAh takes a spoonful and puts it in my mouth.
After savoring the taste for a moment, I spoke politely to Se-ah.
“Sorry. It’s not over. Haaa…”
So, Se-Ah gives Mina, Seung-Hee, and Anna a spoonful each, and they all react similarly.
The ice cream emptied the floor in an instant.
“Could it happen again?”
“Wait a minute… But if this thing regresses… What happens to the stuff you guys just ate?”
“Huh…?”
“Eh?”
“Wait a minute… What do you want?”
“What did you eat…?”
The women all had puzzled faces.
I’m really curious. What will happen?
