Chapter 174 – 174. The Wish of Those Who Do Not Have It
I put my companions to sleep.
Everyone looked tired, and as expected, they fell asleep one by one as soon as they lay down. Normally, I would have come here to have more fun, but today everyone seemed exhausted from conquering the labyrinth.
[Are you going to go look at things from now on?]
“I guess so. Because we can’t continue to neglect it.”
I went out to the shared living space. There were things taken out of the yellow box.
“Let’s see.”
First, we looked at the ornamental fish used to purify the tank.
[Aquarium fish for tank purification: 10 small aquarium fish. When dissolved in water, it can make contaminated water clean. If the number increases too much, it dies.]
These guys make the water clean, and I released them into dirty fish tanks I found while wandering around the neighborhood.
“Are you okay?”
[Because the dirtier the place, the more tenacious the organism survives. The less you take care of it, the longer you will live.]
“It’s special.”
I told the base management team to feed them, but not a single one died. In fact, it seemed like the number had strangely increased compared to when I first picked it.
I plan to release these guys into the deep polluted pond in Horse Cave No. 4. It’s a polluted place, so if we let them out, their numbers will double. Then, I think it will become a deep, purified pond.
“Next.”
This time, I looked at the flower pots placed side by side in one corner. I was basking in the sun with a solar flashlight.
[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.]
First, if you plant it in the ground, it will multiply on its own and engulf the surrounding area with sin. Even while I was away, it was alive and well, probably because it was watered well.
“Next.”
[Last Dance: If you take it by tearing it in the bud, you will fall into a ‘loop’. From the time you take it, the day repeats infinitely, and to get out of the infinite loop, you just have to swallow the flower root. I hope you find a clue to survival through the endlessly repeating days.]
[Caution. If a creature other than a human eats it, the body will disappear.]
A flower that allows the day to repeat infinitely. This is a very precious flower. It would be nice if it could be multiplied, but it seems impossible. If I save it, I’m sure I’ll have a chance to eat it later.
[Fairy’s Nest: A white oak tree. If you grow a tree, you can periodically obtain a pixie. If you grind Pixie finely and put it in water, you will be able to fly for 5 minutes. If you chew a pixie alive, you can teleport once.]
This is a sapling. I’m not sure when it will grow, but if I can grow it properly, I will be able to obtain a high-quality material called Pixie.
[Lonely Witch’s Licorice: Licorice used as one of the ingredients for potions. When chewed raw, it can produce extreme psychological pleasure along with mild hallucinations. If you boil it and drink it, it is good for skin care. If you do not feed it magic stones periodically, it will wither.]
[Caution. When addicted, intelligence decreases and behavior becomes sluggish.]
It is the last plant. It’s a bit like a herb. All you have to do is cut off the leaves and use them as medicine. I wanted to try it out because I was curious about what it felt like, but I held back because I was afraid I might get addicted.
‘It can be used as a drug, so you have to manage it well.’
If someone in our group starts to pluck a leaf out of curiosity and eat it, the number of drug addicts can increase in no time.
As the situation gets worse, humans wander around looking for a place to escape, so it would be better to manage these narcotic substances separately.
Or just dispose of it. You can feed it to animals. It’s about making violent animals go crazy.
For now, except for the Lonely Witch’s Licorice, I think you can just grow it in this state.
‘I think I need to increase the quantity of flowering plants.’
When the pixie seedlings grow a little larger, you can transplant them to number 4 or a larger pot.
“This guy is next.”
[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.]
Agaf said it was a parasite made of gas. Moreover, if you inhale it, your dreams may continue with others who have inhaled it.
“You said it’s for one person, so I guess it’s correct for me to inhale it?”
[That would be better. Rather than giving it to someone else, I think it would be better for you to benefit from it.]
“Okay.”
I opened a bottle of mystery. At that moment, something in the bottle was sucked into my body through my nose.
“Cough!!! Cough!! Chew. “My nose is so sore.”
[It’s because your resistance is too high. If you just wait a little longer, it’ll be okay, right?]
“Is it. Sigh. I think it’s kind of okay.”
I ripped off the toilet paper lying in a corner and blew my nose. It’s finally getting better.
[Can you feel something?]
“No, not at all.”
[Then it has settled down properly.]
Now, when you dream, there is a certain probability that you can connect with others who have inhaled mysteries. Even with beings from other dimensions.
‘Well, I don’t sleep much.’
Through the blessing, I became a body that did not need to sleep at all, so I became a body that would not fall asleep unless I intentionally tried to sleep. Therefore, this means that I can use it arbitrarily when I want.
Anyway, the guy who used this found a use for it. Now, these are the remaining ones…
I looked at the trapped creatures.
[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.]
Starting with the giant bug chewing on the weeds from earlier.
[Unknown Fragment: An amorphous creature torn from the edge of the void. They are greatly influenced by their owner’s tendencies, food, and environment, and their appearance and characteristics change depending on the direction in which they are raised. Some people sometimes use it as a weapon or armor. Sometimes they can be great companions.]
A squirming, dark lump.
[Multi-purpose fur ball: A creature made of pure white fur whose staple food is magic stones. It is very gentle, and when petted, its sanity level increases quickly, and sometimes it spits out hair clumps. It feeds on magic stones and reproduces itself using the hair it spits out. Furthermore, it can also be used for food.]
There was also a ball of fur that tried to cling to me, as if it wanted to be loved.
[Angiosperm bundle: When attached to the chest, it burrows in and replaces the heart. Even if your heart bursts, you will not die. Moreover, the defective part becomes capable of regeneration and the body is not taken over by parasites. You become immune to most diseases and your body becomes healthy.]
[Caution. Nutrients can only be acquired through predation on one’s own kind.]
There are also creepy creatures contained in glass bottles.
[Subject MA-7: This is the failed work of an unknown doctor who attempted to create a perfect organism. You can learn the characteristics of the target you preyed on. You can survive with only magic stones and a small amount of water.]
[Caution. If you acquire more than 8 characteristics, you will age rapidly.]
Lastly, there are square structures that are difficult to tell whether they are living creatures or not.
“Shall we put it all together?”
[What on earth are you planning to make?]
“Just a slightly superior creature?”
[…
I wonder what it would be like to feed all the remaining beast-type rewards to test subject MA-7. Okay, let’s do that. I think that would be better.
“Then first…”
I pulled out the world tree aphid that was chewing on the weeds.
“Uuuuu. Fuck, that’s disgusting.”
When I lifted the world tree aphid, it struggled and spilled out nutrient solution. It’s so disgusting that I want to get rid of it quickly.
“Now, eat.”
Since the aphids were quite large, they had to be forced into the cage containing the specimen.
“Oh! Eat!”
[Oh.]
When a World Tree aphid was pushed into the cage, Subject 7’s body split in half, and he began grinding and drinking the aphid.
That… It was a scene that really reduced my appetite, so I felt like the dinner I had earlier would come back.
“Oh my god, the guts of an aphid. “Oh.”
“Keeeee!!!”
I watched the test subject eat while listening to the sound of aphids. The test subject, which soon finished eating, gave off a little light and changed its appearance.
“Ugh.”
A test subject whose appearance resembles an aphid.
“It seems like the appearance changes similarly depending on what you eat.”
[I need to check the order carefully before feeding.]
“I know. “I think I did a good job of feeding the world tree aphids first.”
It looks terrible. Still, it has become more useful.
[Subject MA-6: This is the failed work of an unknown doctor who attempted to create a perfect organism. It excretes nutrient solution, and if you take it, your body will gradually become healthier. You can learn the characteristics of the target you preyed on. You can survive with only magic stones and a small amount of water.]
[Caution. You need to feed 10 kilograms of organic matter and 200 liters of clean water to release the nutrient solution.]
[Caution. If you acquire more than 7 characteristics, you will age rapidly.]
“Kya.”
[It was mixed appropriately.]
As Agaf said, it was mixed well. Now, how about feeding the blood vessels here? If you feed them the vascular parts attached to their kin predators and even feed them hair bundles that can self-proliferate, they will eat themselves and self-proliferate.
I fed the bundle of blood vessels and stuffed the fur bundles into the cage one after another. Finally, even the unknown fragments were fed.
“Kkueeeeek!!!”
They are all being eaten by the test subjects. It was extremely terrible, but it was an unavoidable sacrifice for the future of the group.
[Subject MA-3: This is a test subject that is becoming a complete organism. It excretes nutrient solution, and if you take it, your body will gradually become healthier. Furthermore, it has the ability to regenerate and is immune to diseases, including parasites. Furthermore, it is very gentle, its sanity is restored when petted, and it can be used as food. They grow differently depending on their owner’s tendencies, food, and environment. You can learn the characteristics of the target you preyed on. You can survive with only magic stones and a small amount of water.]
[Caution. You need to feed 10 kilograms of organic matter and 200 liters of clean water to release the nutrient solution.]
[Caution. In order to use the regenerative ability, you must feast on your own kind.]
[Caution. If you feed it a lot of magic stones, it will multiply on its own.]
[Caution. If affection is given, it has the tendency to become the owner’s companion.]
[Caution. If you acquire more than 4 characteristics, you will age rapidly.]
“Huh.”
[What on earth did you make?]
“I do not know either. But, it seems like something amazing has been born.”
This is a monster that has absorbed all the characteristics of the beast-type rewards extracted from the yellow reward box.
It can excrete nutrient fluid, change its shape according to the owner’s tendencies, multiply on its own, and become a companion to the owner who gives it affection.
[If you raise her with love, she will become a woman.]
“Becoming a woman. Then where is the nutrient solution produced?”
[Milk?]
“Oh my god. Breast milk without childbirth. It’s pleasure without responsibility.”
If the world hadn’t been destroyed and this thing had been sold on the market… Wouldn’t I have been able to become the god of this world?
He becomes the god of all singles who have given up on marriage.
There is no longer any need to live as a virtual angel on the other side of the monitor. If you raise this child well and take care of him, he will be able to have a companion who only looks at him for the rest of his life.
“Hair loss medicine and a slime wife.”
The secret wishes of those who do not have anything are gathered here.
