Chapter 165 – 165. Home, Sweet Home

Finally, we returned to the base flowing with milk and honey.

I spent almost four days in a dingy, smelly, rotten mansion, and it was mentally tough, but seeing the clear sky made me feel so good.

Looking at the clear sky, I honestly didn’t think it was that bad that billions of humans died. In particular, I felt that the air was so good and nature was recovering, probably because many of the people in the neighboring country who were spitting out fine dust like crazy had died.

‘The sky is so clear.’

“Aww!! Guys!! I’m here!!!”

I let go of the jeweler’s hand and called out loudly to my women. After a few damn days with Nick and Byu, I was so drained mentally that I wanted to see a woman as soon as possible.

Of course, because I was able to properly feed the big taffy at the end, my chest felt a bit relieved… But I still want to smell my girls right now. The baby boy is fed up now.

“Oh!! Older brother!! Are you here!!”

But damn Hajin-seong ran out first. That ignorant believer. I don’t want to talk to men right now.

“Uh. Hi. Go to work.”

“Uh, yes. Yes.”

At my expressionless and stiff greeting, Ha Jin-seong quickly went back to work. He seems to be in a bad mood, but Ha Jin-seong knows that it is better to just quietly disappear than to get angry by talking about it.

As he rolled under me, he naturally knew me well.

“Uh? Brother!!!”

Then, Hwayoung jumped down from the second floor and came into my arms. Yes, this is it I wanted a welcome like this.

“Hwayoung!”

“And!!”

I circled her as I hugged her. Hwayoung kissed my cheek randomly.

“Uh… Sniff…”

Then she suddenly smelled my clothes and frowned at her.

“Um… Oppa, I need to wash up first.”

“Ah, yes.”

After walking around the mansion and fighting with various people, the blood, sweat, and bodily fluids of the two tribes were stained a lot. I was also very uncomfortable, but there was no way to wash my body or clothes in a mansion where nothing was properly done. That’s why I couldn’t help but smell it.

Because I couldn’t even change my clothes properly. The smell of blood on your clothes is no joke.

“But what about the other kids?”

“Oh, I think everyone will be out soon. I was training with the Palers right now.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Huh. By the way, oppa, this person is… The one who sells those jewels..?”

I introduced Hwayoung to her jewelry store.

“My name is Eila. She will be living with us from now on.”

Before returning to her house, she was told her name. Her name was Ayla Allegrand.

“Oh oh…”

Hwayoung put on an ambiguous expression. Maybe it’s because I brought another woman, but she’s bewildered. If I put the jeweler in the harem, there would be more people to compete with me, so I couldn’t just be happy.

“Jun! You’re here!!”

“Master!!”

Meanwhile, Mer and Heesun noona came running waving their arms. Yewon and Helgen bowed their heads on the rooftop to greet me, and the rest of the members who were undergoing hell training under Palus quickly gathered together.

I chatted with them for a while and briefly resolved her resentment. After we decided to share the details over dinner, I immediately took Ayla to Hellus.

The smell of various medicines and oil came from the science room occupied by Hellus at the same time. When I opened the classroom door and went inside, there was Hwang Soo-min stirring a huge pot with a ladle and Jeong Ji-yeon tightening an unknown machine with a screwdriver.

Al Cid Hajun Youn was sitting in front of the entrance, diligently writing something in his notebook, but he was so focused that he didn’t even notice that I had entered. I got mad and slapped him on the back of the head.

“Mush!! Oh, are you here?”

“Yes, I am here.”

Only then did the people in the studio stop what they were doing and pretend to know me.

“When did you come? I had no idea.”

“Hehe. It’s been a while since I came. By the way, is your arm not sore?”

“What. I can do it.”

Sumin Hwang continued to stir the pot while talking to me. It seemed like he couldn’t stop.

“Jiyeon, what do you make?”

“Uh… I was repairing the turret.”

“Okay? Suffer.”

“Yes..”

“But what about inspiration?”

“Oh, I went to pick up the magic weed planted in the backyard. You seem to be confused?”

“Okay?”

Should I come later…

Then Hellas called me from the hallway and waved her hand.

“Ohh… You’re here.”

“Yes, I have been. Here, I also brought Ayla.”

“Ohhh!! Welcome!”

“Nice to meet you, inspiration.”

“Welcome, Miss Ayla.”

Ayla and Hellas held hands and shook hands. Of course, before that, Hellas had to roughly wipe the dirt off his hands off his clothes. After greeting Ayla, I showed Hellus the items I brought from her mansion.

“Hey, look at this. I brought these too…”

“Oh… I wonder what else you brought…”

Hellas with an expectant expression. I took the Soul Extractor from my bag and handed it to Hellus.

“This…”

“It’s a soul extractor. They say it can extract souls. And you can inject it again. How is it?”

“Huh uh uh!!!! I-how did you get such a noble thing!!?”

“I almost died trying to find it.”

“This, this… What the hell…”

Hellas handled the Soul Extractor with care, like a lover. I handed over all of the various papers and research results I had brought from the housekeeper’s room to Hellus, who was almost fainting.

“Uh… This is the first text I’ve ever seen…”

“I can read it. Let’s see…”

The jeweler read roughly what was written on the document to Hellas. Then Hellas was astonished beyond surprise.

“I-I can’t believe there’s someone who solved this in this way.

“Awesome.”

“This is really great!! If I were just a little younger… I would have hugged him and danced with him… It’s a pity.”

Hehe.”

Hellas’ eyes were stained with madness. He wanted to make something right away, and his hands looked itchy.

“Then do well.”

“Of course..!! Oh, I made a potion with the black dragon’s brain… Even if the result isn’t as great as I thought, it’s usable. Take it with you.”

“It’s good.”

Hellas gave me a bottle of the black potion.

[Black Keg Dragon’s Brain Blue: An elixir made by refining the dragon’s brain. Increases magic power by 100 when consumed. There are no side effects because it is made by excellent craftsmen.]

“Oh…! Elixir with no side effects.. This is precious.”

“Hehe.. I wanted to raise the effect a bit more, but.. It’s just a pity.”

“Thank you, Hellas. Don’t drink well.”

I praised Hellus and left the workshop. Ayla said that the workshop was too noisy, so she took a seat in the art room next door. He said he had to unpack and make a bed and said he wanted to be alone, so he left it.

After that, I took a shower after a long time. I poured the shampoo halfway through my hair, which had been undetectable for a long time, and created a lot of lather. Happy to be able to wash. Even after changing clothes in dry clothes, it was as if she had gained a new body. It was very nice to be able to change clothes after a long time.

“Haa.. That’s refreshing.”

“Brother!”

“It’s Eunji. You said you trained hard. Palus says you get better very quickly.”

When I was greeting her earlier, Pal Earth gave me a sneak peek.

“Hehe.. I tried.”

I stroked Eunji’s hair. She didn’t have to change classes, so she didn’t become a formal disciple of Pal-Us, but she improved her skills by sparring with Areum-i, who was being trained by her.

Originally, he was growing up as an assassin, but after changing his job and acquiring the sword of the Goblin King, he said he had to practice actively to use a great sword.

“Good good. Good job.”

As I was walking down the hallway praising Eunji randomly, Aram called me.

“June! Eat dinner!”

“Uh! Okay!”

It’s already that time. At the mansion, it seems that the three-year-old ate almost nothing but ramen. It was annoying to even boil it, and I didn’t want to share it with others, so I only chewed and swallowed the hard ramen with water.

In the beginning, Bayu, who didn’t even have that, stared at the ramen I was eating, as if he was hungry. It stayed that way until later when he picked up dead players’ bags. Later, after I lost my memory and became Mei Ling, I lied to him that I was my colleague, and I shared food, but even then, in the end, the uncooked side was the staple food.

Anyway, I told them what had happened at the mansion, shedding tears of emotion over the warm meal I hadn’t eaten in a long time. Then, Sora, who was eagerly eating, asked me.

“Then now…The pantheon? Are you ruined there?”

“Hmm… It wouldn’t have ruined it, but the blow would be great.”

“Oh oh. That’s a good thing.”

“By the way, Sora… Has your Korean improved a lot?”

Haha. I learned the hard way.”

Sora replied with a triumphant smile. He seemed to have worked very hard on Korean conversation while I was gone.

“I taught one to one.”

Mer nodded her head proudly. During the few days I was away, it seemed that Nanase had undergone intensive training while suffering from Mer’s nagging 24 hours a day.

Maybe because Mer is a former angel, she is very versatile. In particular, she knows all human languages, so she was able to do quick tutoring like this.

“Has Aram been okay?”

“Um… I practiced sometimes too. Nothing special happened.”

“What about Harin?”

“I went to the back mountain with old Hellas a few times. It’s hard because I’m old.”

“She’s old. How about Yewon?”

“I was taken care of by Helgen. Lately I’ve been eating too much magic… I’ve been feeding and resting, feeding and resting.”

“Ayu. You must have worked hard. Good job.”

Aram, Harin, and Yewon seemed to have had a peaceful time without any incident. Heesun noona and Juha seem to have worked hard to go to the fields. Juha is a combatant, but he is more interested in farming than fighting.

“Eunha you.”

“Content?”

“Uh. What did you do?”

“Uh… That’s me, Lee Hoon? I hunted ghosts with that man..”

Eun-ha, who is correcting her North Korean dialect on her own, answered with a strange tone mixed with her dialect.

“Ghost hunting with Lee Hoon?”

“Yes. Because he and I have similar tastes.”

Possession Warrior Lee Hoon also needed to eat ghosts to become stronger, and Curse Stone Eunha had to eat ghosts or monsters to create loneliness or use skills. The two got along well in a way.

Maybe that’s why it seems that Lee Hoon and Eunha joined forces to hunt ghosts every night. Ghosts can’t approach schools with god idols, so they must have hunted outside.

‘Huh.. Lee Hoon bastard.. We’ll have to have a sincere conversation sometime soon…’

With that thought in mind, I ate the remaining rice. The sacrificial dragon’s tail salted taste was quite good. Afterwards, I went up to the school rooftop where the sun was setting by myself to get some digestion.

“Ha…”

It overlooked the school landscape. My body trembled with pride as I watched the hard-working slaves and the trees full of fruit.

‘You’ve gained a lot..’

As a result of running hard in the beginning, it is now possible to produce food on its own, use water to its heart’s content, and, although limited, it is possible to use electricity by turning on a generator. This place has now become a paradise for Apocalypse.

There are even hundreds of slaves to work for me, so it is truly paradise. You just have to keep it like this. I can go to the black market, so I keep taking profits… As long as I roll the snowball well, neither Nick nor anyone can touch me. Frankly, Nick was a little disappointed. The 777 isn’t that scary anymore.

‘I need to grow mushrooms slowly…’

First of all, I have to go to the black market tomorrow, so I’ll have to properly inform everyone about that. Even if I solve the problem this time, I won’t be able to come back for a week. If the timing is bad, it might take more than two weeks.

‘Underground of the black market…’

You must get Cheshire’s soul back from the devil.

I’m not sure if I can get it back safely.
