Chapter 86 – 86. Running Out of Patience

Leaving Yu Mira, Kim Su-yeon, and Hee-jeong outside, I entered the labyrinth again with Kang Ji-yeon.

I had a few things to ask her.

“Hey, Jiyeon.”

“Yes?”

“Wait for a second. “I have a story to tell you.”

“Uh.. Yes.”

I called Ji-yeon Kang aside and asked her about Su-yeon Kim.

“Well… That’s a bit annoying. Should I say that I can see him smiling and making jokes, pretending not to be the case?”

“Okay? Hmm.”

“And more than anything, I think he’s really cool. To be honest, I didn’t know him that long, so I didn’t really know him at first, but he said he was a healer and said he needed to be protected.”

Yu Mira was a quiet person who didn’t want to do anything, and Kim Soo-yeon seemed to act a bit like a bitch with princess disease.

Instead of Jeong Ji-min and Park Yun-hwa, who decided to become men in order to fight zombies more properly, Yoo Mira and Kim Soo-yeon should have died.

For no reason, sane people died because of deserters and bastards, and people who should have died are still trying to survive and eat food.

“Hmm… To be honest, even Yumi is dissatisfied right now.”

“Ah… Mira, you have a problem too?”

“Uh. I’m not trying to do anything. “They even whined that it was difficult to give them all their limbs to kill zombies.”

“No.. Wow. Why are you two doing this? Even on the day I escaped from the auditorium, I had the kind of calm temperament to pull back a bit… But honestly, I didn’t expect it to go to this level. “The more I know, the more there is no answer.”

Jiyeon Kang listened to me and washed her face several times. She must be having her own troubles. I think she already looked into my eyes and figured out what to do with both of them.

I hope that they will decide that it is better to stick to my side and get kicked out than to defend the two people on the outside and get caught.

“Honestly… I don’t think there’s any need to have people like that. Not even family. Even though we spent time together in the auditorium… We didn’t have much contact. “Neither Mira nor Suyeon have shown anything major.”

Kang Ji-yeon said as if she were asking what kind of situation the situation is now and why she is trying to stick around.

To begin with, she was closer to the dead Jeong Ji-min and Park Yun-hwa, but she didn’t seem that close to Yoo Mira and Kim Soo-yeon. Now, these two people have no sides.

I didn’t think she would have a huge backlash just because I was swiping knowingly or unknowingly.

“Even if.. Two people die.. Don’t you care?”

“I won’t pray for death, but I don’t think it will be as bad as Jimin and Yunhwa.”

Kang Ji-yeon seemed to definitely feel something from what I said just now. She gave me a hint that she was going to deal with the two of them, and she agreed. She, Kang Ji-yeon, decided to stand by my side.

Yes, you can mourn someone’s death, but no one will die for them.

Especially strangers who are not family. Even if there is a sense of camaraderie that comes from surviving the lecture together, the feelings that arise that day do not last forever.

In particular, people who do nothing but eat food and animals become happy when they die. First of all, tacit consent was obtained.

After sending Kang Ji-yeon away, I moved the items I had taken out of her blue reward box into her labyrinth one by one.

A water purification pump, an open ring stone, a furniture maker for assembly, and a large-capacity compressed water tank were all included. Next, I decided to open the box I farmed today near the entrance to the Infinite Labyrinth.

I got one blue and one green box as a reward for conquering the simple labyrinth today. I also killed some deserters and got another green reward box.

First, I opened the blue box.

[Portable magicite heater: A heating product that uses magicite as fuel. It does not generate noise or hot air and raises the temperature in a radius of 3 meters to make it warm. You can adjust it to your desired temperature.]

It was a stove that felt like something commonly seen. However, strangely, there was a separate part in the center of the stove to insert the magic stone.

Since I have a living space in the Infinite Labyrinth, I can just live there, but for people who don’t have that, I think it would be a useful item.

“Of course, it is not a very good reward in that it is replaceable, but…”

First of all, it’s better than nothing coming out. To be honest, I was a little nervous, perhaps because I was expecting something good to come out. There are many things that can replace a stove, even if it is not a magic stone stove.

Well, it’s unfortunate, but this blue box could be considered a failure.

“Good things will come out of the green box..”

Since the blue one was a disaster, I opened the remaining green boxes with a vague expectation that something good would come out of them.

[Zombie Slayer’s Cleaver: A cleaver whose teeth will not fall out until its durability runs out and it is completely destroyed. Cuts down humanoid enemies more easily.] [Durability: 150]

[Labyrinth recipes that even zombies can follow: Recipes using various plants that can be obtained in the labyrinth are recorded.]

Weapons and books came out. The Zombie Slayer’s Cleaver had the same effect as the Zombie Slayer’s Machete. The trait is that it becomes sharper against human-type enemies.

However, because it was too short, it seemed problematic to use as a main weapon. It’s good for use in narrow spaces, but…

“The more weapons the better, but… This is…”

A thick paper book with a fairly long title. When I opened it, I saw letters written in meticulous handwriting by someone, as if it were a survivor’s diary. It was amazing that even the shapes of the ingredients were drawn in great detail.

“This…”

I feel like book-type items come out better than I expected. The survivor’s journal, and the labyrinth plant dictionary I got last time. This time, a recipe book was even published as if to teach you how to prepare food.

“Huh…”

This is pretty interesting. I even wrote down the effects and features of each dish, so I wanted to try it later when I had time. Soup made with luminous moss or stew made with ground stones from inside the labyrinth…

“Inho! “Eat!”

“Ah, yes!”

At that time, Saeyeon called me, saying that dinner was almost over.

The dinner menu was shrimp fried rice. The taste of chewing the shrimp captured from the supermarket was excellent.

“Oh, I’ll give this to people outside.”

“Yes!”

I took the fried rice and went outside.

It was a waste to give it to Yoo Mira and Kim Soo-yeon, who would soon be dealing with it, but Lee Hee-jung had to eat it. Perhaps because he didn’t have any regrets about life itself, he didn’t eat well unless I took care of him.

“I.. Don’t have kimchi..?”

“Yes?”

But in the meantime, Yu Mira is looking for kimchi.

Yes, it’s sad when you eat fried rice and you miss out on kimchi. I gave him kimchi as if I was giving him one more rice cake. Above all, Lee Hee-jung is innocent.

Thinking that I was taking care of Heejeong, I took care of them both as a bonus.

“Whoa..”

Anyway, after dinner, I returned to the labyrinth and had some personal maintenance time. I decided to return the rusty and worn-out long sword to its original state by feeding it magic stones.

“As expected, it is the lowest grade magic gemstone and there is no reaction.”

When I fed the lowest grade magic gemstone to the sword, there was no reaction at first, but when I fed it a few more, its durability increased from 22 to 23.

From what I could see, it seemed like I had to eat 3 lowest grade magic stones to increase durability by about 1. It’s a good thing that I was able to rise quickly after feeding the low-level magic stones.

“It will be unlocked when the durability reaches 100, right?”

However, even if I poured out all the magic stones I had, it seemed impossible to reach 100 durability.

“But.. It’s no use asking Yeongsik to maintain quality.”

There are a few reasons, but in order to use quality maintenance on this sword, you have to destroy one of the registered items.

At this time, a problem arises in that you have to destroy one of the items you are using in good condition in order to obtain an item whose durability can be sufficiently restored with magic stones.

Of course, it is possible to erase the quality maintenance handicap with the golden seal, but the golden seal is also not a skill that can be used at will. If you use this incorrectly, your skill will be destroyed.

“There is no need to immediately hit 100 durability and open it… Let’s grow it slowly..”

First of all, it would be better to save on maintaining quality for items whose durability can be restored without maintaining quality.

You can get dozens to hundreds of magic stones by going through one labyrinth, and if you start conquering the infinite labyrinth right away, you will be able to supply them at any time.

“Whew. Still, I filled a lot..”

With the magic stones currently available, durability could be filled to 50.

Since I had to save some magic stones to use for other items, it was impossible to get rid of them all.

Still, when I raised the durability to 50, something changed in the sword.

[Old, worn-out long sword: It’s an old sword. When fed with a certain amount of magic stones, it returns to its original state.] [Durability 50/100]

The item description remained the same, but the item name changed. From a rusty and worn-out longsword to an old, worn-out longsword. Moreover, all the rust on the sword has completely disappeared, and although it does not have the same shine as when it was new, the condition of the sword has improved significantly.

“More than anything, the grip is killer.”

I quite like this. It’s the perfect weight for me. It was like a weapon forged for me.

“First of all, I did everything I could… “

“Brother!” Come and help me with this!”

“Uh, wait a minute.”

After finishing all my work, I tidied up my living space with my companions and then fell asleep.

The group will begin full-scale exploration of the labyrinth starting tomorrow.

******

After sleeping for more than 4 hours, I felt refreshed when I woke up. My companions were still asleep, so I checked my watch and quickly left the labyrinth.

-Wow…

“Whoa.. It’s cold.”

Outside, the sun had not yet risen. Perhaps because it is only 5 a.M., The surroundings are dark. The sun will rise between 6:30 and 7:00, so you should get up early and get ready to move.

We have to move quickly because we can go to Incheon within today.

“Hey. Is everyone still sleeping?”

But why aren’t the people who told me to stand up?

I woke up the three people with a slightly annoyed expression.

-Rattle.

“Huh? “Why are you alone, Heejeong?”

“Oh, they’re both still sleeping…”

I had already told them to wake up around 5 o’clock, but why didn’t Mira Yu and Suyeon Kim wake up? Even though they are on their way to rescue their families, preparations are slow.

There is no real answer to this. No matter how hard you try to look after them, they just keep doing things that will kill them. Am I stupid, or is my brain degenerated because I can’t keep up with rapid changes in situations?

First of all, the most important thing is that the two people lost all opportunities. Even Lee Hee-jung didn’t look very good.

‘Slutty bitches..’

It has nothing to do with Incheon, and the youngest, Heejeong, woke up first and she is still sleeping.

“Did you try waking him up?”

“Yes… But you said you would sleep for 5 more minutes. He was complaining to me in his sleep. I was so annoyed that I left it alone.”

“Those two bitches… Heejeong. Me and those two people. “I don’t have the courage to take him with me.”

“Ah…Am I going out?”

“Will you do so?”

“Yes.”

I sent Heejeong out and went inside the house.

I can’t show any more kindness to those who don’t deserve my age.

It’s time to turn a worthless life into 3 stat points.
