Slam!

The door opened and Cha HwaYeon entered the general store with equal momentum.

“Welcome.”

As always, when Yoo Ji-Ha raised his head to say hello, she came up to his nose and opened her mouth.

“What are you…”

“You’re pretending you don’t know anything when you made me tear it apart.”

“Well… I don’t know what you mean.”

She pulled up a small chair and sat down.

They were so close that their knees almost touched.

This bright red-haired hunter seems to be quite excited.

‘The scroll seems to have worked.’

In the first place, items that are harmful to hunters rarely drop in dungeons.

He thought that the Infinite Magic Book would only give a similar buff, but it seems to have worked very well.

HwaYeon shared her story with her arms crossed and her legs crossed.

“I am. I’m not joking. Did you not hear the news? That our guild broke the record of clearing the Spiger dungeon in the shortest time.”

“No.”

“No? As a hunter, what do you do without looking for such information?”

“My main objective is that the guests come back, right?”

As Yoo Ji-Ha turned around, she closed and opened her eyes slightly as if she was trembling.

“My firepower has increased tremendously, so what I did first is to know how it happened. Is it a characteristic of the dungeon? Or the effect of an artifact I don’t know about? When I asked other people, they said that if they just rip the scrolls in your shop, the magic damage will increase abnormally. Do you have anything to say?”

“I just picked up what was dropped.”

“Where?”

“Where else other than Category 0 dungeons?”

That again.

It must have been difficult for this person with no skills to tear the scroll and measure its value.

That’s why he claimed it was a lucky message and let them rip it for free.

HwaYeon took out her phone and tapped the screen.

“Our guild earned more than 2.7 billion won from clearing the Spiger dungeon, and there were no injuries. Tell me your bank account.”

Yoo Ji-Ha moved the chair back a bit.

“No, I won’t.”

Her eyes turned into axe eyes.

“Why not? Of course, you must take it.”

“It has already been sold. I have no reason to receive it.”

“Don’t say that. I don’t want to be indebted.”

“It’s okay.”

HwaYeon realized that breaking the will of a stubborn person is as difficult as breaking through a Category 0 dungeon alone1.

Why is a person who looks soft on the outside so stubborn?

“Then you’re not going to sell that for a higher price? What is this? Why is there not one? Did everyone finish tearing it up?”

There were no scrolls in the jar.

Two days ago, there were a few jars of it.

“There are a lot of people who buy a potion and rip it. There weren’t many supplies in the first place.”

HwaYeon let out a deep sigh.

“Ha… You really don’t know the value of that scroll. Even if you sell it for 100 million won, or 230 million won, it will sell like crazy. Why are you giving up that money? Hundreds of million won isn’t even money for you?”

Yoo Ji-Ha laughed a little.

“It’s not like that, because I thought it wasn’t the money I was supposed to get.”

“Isn’t a money you’re going to receive? What does that mean?”

She’s rushing at people before he even gives an answer.

After exchanging words a few times, HwaYeon’s tone seemed to be like this.

Instead of answering, Ji-ha closed the book and said-

“There is something like that. And I live well without that money.”

Is this living well?

HwaYeon looked around the store and clicked her tongue lightly out of pity.

Even if there is no greed, it should still be moderate. This is not some kind of monk; does it make sense to live a life close to ignorance?

“Well, okay. I have no authority to force your life. But you, it’s dangerous to keep selling things that come out of the dungeon like this. Come into our guild. I will protect you.”

“I will refuse that too.”

HwaYeon realized that nothing could break this young man’s stubbornness.

Seriously, since it’s in Area 7 where many people go, and there are some hunters that she knows, it shouldn’t be that dangerous.

She uncrossed her crossed legs and stood up.

“Ha… I can’t. Do whatever you want.”

She pauses for a moment as she leaves the entrance.

“…You’re not going in another Guild next time, are you? No matter who offers you, I’ll give you more, so you better come.”

“Well, I’ll keep that in my heart. But that will never happen.”

“Hmm.”

The conversation ended there.

HwaYeon got in the car and left, and Yoo Ji-Ha opened the book again.

He looked at the hummingbells planted in a flowerpot on one side of the store.

It warned him of the infestation of devil ants, so it will warn him of other dangers in advance.

“Can you protect me?”

woo woo woo—

Hummingbell made a low sound.

“Sigh, huh…”

Oddly enough, this forest is a mess every time he comes in.

Yoo Ji-Ha wiped the sweat from his forehead and straightened his back.

In his own space of less than 100 pyeong2, Tree Fruit tree grew large.

The name is weird, but it’s really written that way, so he can’t help it.

‘As long as it’s delicious.’

This tree is already bearing fruit because it grows much faster than the tree planted in the center.

[Berry of Tree Fruit LV1: Effect Random]

‘This is not some random box.’

Each time a fruit the size of a plum is picked and juiced, the effect changes.

However, most of the effects were weak, so it seemed impossible to use them as ingredients for potions.

Yoo Ji-Ha used this fruit to flavor potions.

Potions with solar apple or winter strawberry are sweet, but other potions display a bitter taste.

That’s why, if a few drops of tree fruit juice are added, it will taste sweet and refreshing, so it’s surprisingly good.

It smells better too.

‘Are they living well?’

Yoo Ji-Ha went to the creek, knelt, and looked at the fish.

The small ones have grown quite a bit, but their names are not seen yet.

Crayfish were hiding under the stones and small clams and shrimp were also seen.

‘You live well in such a small place.’

It’s strange to see where these little creatures come from.

As night fell, Yoo Ji-Ha took a seat in the cave.

Today, he has been preparing in advance to read a book all night long.

He immediately fell into his own world as he read a book with the light of a torch on the backpack and a bonfire on the front to warm.

But suddenly, he heard a strange sound somewhere.

It’s a very faint… crying sound?

‘It sounded like a cat?’

It sounded like the cry of a fairly large feline.

Yoo Ji-Ha concentrated his mind, trying to figure out the direction of the sound.

Why is the humming bell not ringing?

‘Maybe because it’s not dangerous.’

He stood up and walked around the fog.

Even Theradrones came out of the hole in the ground and were busy as if trying to find the source of the sound.

The Theradrone Warrior flew to one corner.

‘There, it’s over there.’

As he moved, the cry grew louder.

It’s very weak, but soon, Yoo Ji-Ha found it.

A cat lying on the border between the fog and the forest, messed up enough to be mistaken for a mop.

[Arctus]

You mean Ark’s Tooth?

However, he was quite large and had thick feet.

About twice the size of an adult cat.

On that subject, the body and face shape are round like a baby.

Yoo Ji-Ha remained silent, then lifted him up and brought his ear closer.

There was very shallow and irregular breathing.

‘Backpack, backpack.’

Yoo Ji-Ha’s backpack contains various types of potions.

He hurried to the cave, then laid a cloth on the floor and put the cat down.

It was so soft that it felt like it had no bones.

‘You must not die.’

He poured a health potion into his hand and took it to his snout, but he didn’t move.

In a hurry, Yoo Ji-Ha opened the cat’s snout slightly and poured the potion little by little.

‘It’s done.’

He could see the red wounds all over his body healing little by little.

The irregular breathing sound became quite comfortable.

When he put it on the floor, he heard a rattling sound.

‘Can I just leave it like this? What should I do?’

He needs to know about cats to know what to do next.

However, why is the Theradrone Warrior poking Yoo Ji-Ha finger with its forceps?

He looked up and saw that he had painted a picture of a fish on the floor.

“Oh, you want to feed it?”

There is a myth that cats like fish.

But how did this insect know that?

‘Certainly, this guy has intelligence.’

It’s in a dream, so there’s nothing strange about it.

Yoo Ji-Ha put the Warrior on his palm, approached the creek and looked at the fish.

The finger-sized fish swarmed around him as soon as he put his hand in.

Perhaps because of his animal-friendly skills, he didn’t struggle to catch them.

Yoo Ji-Ha caught two small fish, killed it, and put them on a bonfire to baked them.

Ta-tack-ta-tack-

The smell of grilled fish lingered around.

The nose of a cat named Arctus trembled.

“Oh.”

The guy responded.

Starting with the nose, the entire snout loosened, and the guy opened his eyes in a blink of an eye.

His eyes, which were originally sky blue, were dyed very cloudy.

Perhaps the Warrior saw it, he pointed to the potion bottles on the floor with his tongs.

“Huh? Give it to him? Isn’t that an ether consumption potion?”

Heok-heok-

“Oh, not that. What’s in my backpack other than that?”

All he has in his backpack is poison resistance potions… Is the cat poisoned?

‘How did the warrior know that?’

An insect that shows extraordinary abilities in many ways.

Anyway, when he poured a poison resistance potion into his hand and gave it to Arctus.

The cat’s condition has significantly improved.

His slightly bent back was straightened, and his yellowish eyes returned to a pretty light blue.

The roaring sound was very powerful.

Finally, he moved his legs and tried to walk, but it turned over.

“Wake up, wake up.”

When Yoo Ji-Ha helped him with his hand, he cried low sound and sat down in a bread loaf3 position.

“Cute.”

It’s still stinky, but if he washes it well, the pretty fur will come out.

As Yoo Ji-Ha stroked his hair, he rubbed his hands as if he didn’t like it.

‘I have become a butler.’

Since he was acting as a butler, he made sure that he separated the flesh of the overcooked fish and placed it in front of him.

“Oh, you’re eating well.”

Arctus was very hungry, so he ate the few pieces of meat in an instant.

Then he climbed up on Yoo Ji-Ha’s lap, curled up and fell asleep.

‘Wow, it’s heavy.’

If the cubs were this big and heavy, he couldn’t even guess how big the adults would be.

‘I can’t move like this.’

Frantic about waking the cub, he gave up and opened the book.

The Theradrone Warrior was relieved at that time and returned to the hole in the ground.

The next morning, Arctus was washing himself by the stream.

It seems like a young-looking boy taking a bath and licking his fur with his tongue.

It certainly didn’t look like a normal cat.

As Yoo Ji-Ha came out of the cave with his stiff body, the guy ran over to him.

It is impressive that the gray fur is studded with black dots, which is very similar to a snow leopard.

“Hey, are you awake? Dry yourself, buddy.”

He didn’t care and hung on Yoo Ji-Ha without hesitation.

For Yoo Ji-Ha, it is too difficult for a baby, almost the size of a human body, to hang like this.

Wow.

Are you asking for food?

“Yes, yes. Are you hungry?”

But there isn’t much for him to eat in this forest.

The fish by the creek were so small that the stomach wouldn’t feel a difference, and the crayfish were similar.

While thinking about buying cat food, he remembered that there was an ocean outside the cave.

‘Well… the sea…’

He had a vague fear of the deep sea.

He can’t forget how the monster named Mantis crab jumped out of the deep sea and killed people.

Will this ocean be okay right?

‘It will be fine… probably.’

Then the Theradrones came with long stems.

It was as thin as a thread, so it looked like it could be used as a fishing line.

It’s a fishing rod, as long as he trims the branches properly.

He could use crayfish or clam meat as bait.

As Yoo Ji-Ha roamed through the forest to prepare for fishing, Arctus followed him.

It looks like he’s been marked as a butler.
