Chapter 152 – 152. Review of the Forest of Losers (2)
I made a significant profit with the two yellow boxes. 10 fish in a fish tank and a self-luminous tree.
“But my skin is starting to sting.”
“Ah.”
Ayuni has vampire recovery, so it can be said that she has become a vampire due to the penalty. The vampire transformation has already progressed.
Maybe that’s why the light emitted from the tree stings my skin a little. It was fine during the day because I applied sunscreen and wore a wide-brimmed hat, but my skin must have been stinging because I was exposed to light similar to sunlight right in front of my eyes.
“Ayun-ah, let’s leave out the vampire recovery.”
“Huh? Let’s take it out?”
“Okay. “I have a lot of skills anyway, so why bother.”
“Hmm.. That’s right.”
Vampiric recovery increases when you suck blood. It’s a pretty good skill because it allows you to recover very quickly.
However, she has already obtained a lot of awakening stones containing recovery skills, so there is no reason for her to have them.
“It’s nice to have this because it heightens your senses. Still, it was time to let her go.”
Ah Yuni nodded her head too. I immediately handed over her body enhancements and received Ah Yun’s vampire recovery back.
“Mimic.”
Then I summoned Mimic.
“Krrururuk..”
A mimic that sounds like a calf with indigestion.
I fed him some corpses before coming out of the forest, and I could feel a considerable amount of magical energy, perhaps because his main force had become considerably stronger, but he still looked sick and sick due to the penalty skills.
“Oh, brother. He’s about to die… “
“Are you okay. “Let’s not worry too much.”
“Huh. I guess so.”
Ayun, who had liked Mimic from the beginning, felt sorry for her, but I didn’t care and left the vampire recovery to him.
If you need it later, you can give it a trashy skill and get it back.
“Go back.”
“Krrrr. .”
A mimic that disappears while making a groaning sound.
Now, that guy is not only a sick mimic, but also has the attributes of a corpse-eating demon and a vampire.
If you just listen to what he says, you can say he’s the main character of an alien story, right?
“Okay, now let’s finish what we were doing.”
“Huh. “There are 13 left, right?”
“That’s right. There are 13 left. “I’ll open it first.”
Trees and fish.
What will come out this time?
“Wow, it’s pretty.”
“It’s a purple flower?”
“Huh. It’s so pretty.”
When I opened the box, a purple flower in a flower pot popped out.
The scent is very good. No, how is it that a single flower can emit such a strong scent?
[Boundary’s ginseng: It produces a scent that stimulates the animal’s sense of smell. When animals take wild ginseng, ‘spiritualization’ occurs, and when humans take it, ‘golden ginseng’ occurs.]
[Caution. If planted in the ground, it kills all surrounding plants and increases the number of plants killed.]
[Caution. If you take too much, you may become a twisted being.]
“What is a spiritual painting, and what is a golden painting?”
“Let’s see.. The film adaptation..”
[Spiritualization: Transforms ordinary beasts into spiritual creatures with magical powers. As a living organism, it evolves to the next level, its lifespan increases rapidly, and it gains internal organs in its body.]
[Golden Beast: Transforms an ordinary intelligent being into a golden beast with magical powers. As a living organism, it evolves to the next level, its lifespan increases rapidly, and it gains internal organs in its body.]
“If you eat it, you’ll become a golden beast, right?”
“Puhup. Hey, you’re a bastard.”
“No, brother. Look. That’s the explanation.”
As Ayun said, if a person eats it, it becomes a beast, and if an animal eats it, it turns into a spirit animal. Moreover, if they are planted haphazardly, the population is likely to increase to the point where they can completely cover the planet.
‘I guess that’s why it smells good.’
It is said to stimulate the animal’s sense of smell, so if you plant it, it will be chewed up right away. Considering that this effect had these characteristics in the first place, there was a strong feeling that someone had created it artificially.
“I have to take good care of it first.”
“I see.”
Magul Cave No. 4 is a kind of forest, so we need to increase the population by procuring soil and plants for food from there.
How about feeding it to the black snake? Also, it is said that it turns into a golden beast, but looking at the small fish, it looks like it will turn you into a suspicious animal, so it is better for people not to eat it.
“The next box. Huh?”
“What is this?”
A small glass bottle popped out.
There was nothing in it.
What? Is it a delivery error?
[A bottle full of mystery: The bottle is full of ‘mystery.’ If you open or break the bottle, all the ‘mystery’ inside will come out. You can have pleasant dreams.]
“What is this?”
“It’s a mystery? “Oppa, do you have any idea?”
“I have no idea. But I see that you can have pleasant dreams. Could it be some kind of gas?”
“Gas? I guess it wasn’t just creatures that appeared.”
“Hmm. Maybe it’s a gas-type creature. Agap.”
I asked Agaf a question.
For reference, I have already told the party about Agaf’s existence.
[Mystery.? Hmm, it’s a mystery. Perhaps it is some kind of parasite.]
“What?”
“Why? What does it say?”
“Parasite.”
“Is it a parasite?”
“I think so..”
[It is not a bad entity. Because it allows you to have pleasant dreams in exchange for a little vitality.]
“Is it like a dream?”
[It is a much more beneficial being than that. There is another more important point.]
Agaf told us about the most important characteristic of living things called ‘mystery’.
“People who have inhaled mystery can share dreams?”
[Right. Sometimes it connects with beings from other dimensions. Although it is a slim probability. It feels like your favorite lottery. Sometimes. It will be connected very occasionally.]
“…”
That meant that it would become possible to communicate with beings who had inhaled mystery somewhere in this world beyond the Earth.
Of course, since it was a dream, there was a high possibility that you wouldn’t remember it, and the connection itself was extremely rare, but that was quite an amazing story.
“Then how many people can inhale this?”
[One bottle is enough for one person. In the first place, the moment the bottle is opened or broken, the mystery becomes parasitic on the most compatible creatures among the nearby creatures.]
“Can’t they breed?”
[No, I don’t even know about that. I am not an encyclopedia.]
He said he didn’t know how to breed Agap, so he told me not to ask too much details.
First, I’ll have to go into the portable warehouse by myself later and try to inhale it.
“There are 11 left.”
“I’ve only opened four, but they’re great.”
“Yes.”
There are 11 more left.
I’m a little scared now. What else will come out?
Is it really okay for us to keep something this good to ourselves?
‘It’s a carrot.’
Where is the balance in the competition for survival? All I have to do is become ridiculously strong. If you’re screwed, you should have started off by getting your skills stolen and snowballed to the fullest.
In this rotten world, the lucky ones always win.
“Next.”
“Let’s go!”
This time, Ayun opened the box.
“Ugh!!!”
“Fuck!”
A large iron bar protruded. And inside it was a green, disgusting bug.
“Ah, Ayun. “What did you choose?”
“I don’t know either! Ugh, that’s gross.”
When I saw a bug the size of a large dog in front of me, my hands itched to kill it right away. However, this is also a reward. It’s definitely a job that’s helpful in real life.
First, I checked the explanation.
[World Tree Aphid: This is an aphid that grows by sucking the sap of the World Tree. It excretes nutrient solution, and if you take it, your body will gradually become healthier. If you do not feed them 10 kilograms of organic matter and 200 liters of clean water every day, they will die.]
“It would be useful.”
“Ugh. Are you going to take him in?”
“I guess so, right?”
“Is there somewhere to put it?”
“I should leave it in an empty room.”
“Ugh.”
There are still a few empty rooms left in the residential area of the base labyrinth, so I think I can put them there.
There are only 30 rooms, so it should be okay.
“It’s sweet.”
“A bug this big is kind of…”
“Hehe.”
I patted Ayun’s shuddering shoulder and opened the next box. This is the 4th one. There are a total of 9 more boxes left.
14 including red. There is so much to open.
“Okay, let’s see. “What is this?”
“Woman, you look like a woman.”
“…”
This time too, the iron bars popped out.
And inside that cage, a woman sat shackled and handcuffed, blankly.
However, its appearance was a bit unusual. It was a woman, but there were unknown letters engraved all over her body, and her eyes were also a sparkling purple.
Moreover, he was tightly bound with various restraints, including handcuffs and shackles.
[Vessel of the Demon God: This woman has been chosen as the vessel of the Demon God, and half of the Demon God has already entered her body. If you offer an item, you can barter it for another item.]
[Caution. If you kill it or release its straitjacket, the demon will go crazy.]
What will happen when the Demon God’s vessel goes crazy? I’m so scared.
This guy should be locked in her closet with the aphids. At that time, the woman who was tied up in the iron cage opened her mouth with difficulty and asked the two of us for help.
“Ugh.. Hey, can you please untie this for me?”
What should I say? It was a voice that stimulated people’s hearts. It’s a beautiful voice that stimulates the prostate, like an angel whispering. I have never heard such a beautiful voice in my life.
“Wow, your voice is really good.”
“I see.”
“Oppa, can’t I release this?”
“Right. “It’s going to be a big problem.”
Ayun kicked the iron bar.
“Where are you hitting your tail!!!”
“Caw!! Hey, there’s a gentleman!! Please help me!”
“Damn! You damn bitch! It’s the devil’s whisper!!!”
“Kyaaa!! These crazy people!!! Kyaaa!!!”
I also kicked the iron bars together with Ayun.
How dare we appeal for sympathy.
The two of us are without a doubt the most vicious people in our group.
They don’t even look after people, so why do they need to look after unidentified slaves?
I will never be fooled by appeals for sympathy from these dangerous creatures.
[It’s dangerous. It doesn’t matter because the two of you have already broken character, but others will be a little different.]
“Really?”
[I think it would be better to just leave it in a portable warehouse. Manage it yourself. If it’s you, you’ll be fine with me by your side.]
“Hoo. It’s reliable.”
“What? What did Agaf say?”
“They tell me to manage it separately. Anyone else than the two of us could have opened it without thinking.”
“Huh. “It’s a really dangerous creature.”
The party goes in and out of the collapsed sanctuary of Raythena, where the base labyrinth and Asmorphia are located. Then, I might commit the unfortunate act of releasing that demon’s vessel.
So, I think it would be better to put it in a portable warehouse that only I can access.
“Whoa. Next time.”
“Yes, yes.”
There were so many boxes to open, so we decided to quickly open all the remaining yellow reward boxes.
“Wow, Ayuna. After picking them all out, don’t you think we are smugglers?”
“Huh. “I think I’ve become a poacher of some kind of magical creature, brother.”
There were so many different choices. From animals to plants to slaves(?).
First, let’s look at the animals.
