Chapter 398 – 398. Where Did the Monkey’s Hand Go?

After entrusting the work to Perpero, I came out to the central plaza.

Now I have to call Cheshire and Ayla again. The black market is only good when you’re walking around with these two.

“Did it work out?”

“Yes. It was nothing.”

“I’m glad~”

Cheshire and Ayla naturally clung to either side of me, saying it was fortunate that the commotion was over. I’ve spent most of my time in hell these past few days, and I’m coming back more today.

Hehe.”

I put my arms around their shoulders and rubbed their chests. It’s awkward when your hands are empty, so it’s better to hold something in your hands like this.

“Come to think of it..”

Ayla said she was looking for a shop on the black market this time.

They said they were going to open a jewelry store in the central square of the black market, away from the workshops set up in the base, and I thought it sounded like a pretty good business.

“You know you have to pay the rent, right?”

“Eh.? Really..?”

“Heh heh. It’s a joke.”

Ayla patted her on the arm saying she was surprised by my prank. I stroked her hair Since he is expressionless, when he expresses his emotions, he usually expresses them with exclamations or onomatopoeia, so should I say that he is cute?

“Heh heh. Juna, are you going to go to the hut first?”

“Yes. Let’s go see Killian after a while.”

“Huh! Then, hold tight!”

We quickly moved to a food alley with a poacher’s hut.

Also, if you want to move quickly in the black market, you’d better have a Cheshire.

“Kiaaaaa!!!!!”

“Ugh..”

As soon as I moved to the food alley, something screamed. Looks like they’re being tortured…

“Oh, raw or fried today.. Which one?”

“Let’s go for the tempura.. Uuk..”

I feel like vomiting every time I come to this food alley. Especially during the raw food week, the real stars are being sliced ​​alive, so you get confused just by looking at them.

In particular, the fairies who had just been imprisoned in an iron cage and being skewered by the Yi tribe were quite grotesque.

If you are caught in this alley as ‘food’, you will meet such a terrible end. The moment you show even a little bit of weakness, or are recognized as prey, you will be subjected to ridiculous things.

It was the same when Lamech immediately cut off his left arm. When I judged that I was weak, the Yi people came around me as I struggled in pain to eat me.

At that time, the box man preempted me and sold me to an abandoned hospital. In a way, it can be said that she was not devoured thanks to that bastard.

‘You were so damn weak back then..’

Why does it feel like a distant past even though it was only a few weeks ago?

Maybe it’s because too much has happened in the meantime. At that time, as soon as I escaped from the abandoned hospital, I met the dragon wave because of the clown, and I went to hell for the first time and met Croy.

Then he got out again and had a bed with the gods, and when he was happy, he competed with Zeke and had a bad fight, and was dragged away by the management and even tried.

I remember being in a state of confusion as the real incidents and accidents continued to happen.

It’s a shame now that we’ve entered a stable period, but when I think back to that time, even 10 lives were not enough. I must say that I never knew when I would die.

Thanks to that, I became the strongest human on earth (?), So I am satisfied.

– Flutter.

“Ah, you came.. Oh!!”

When we lifted the tent and went inside, we were greeted by the bodies of Killian and Henry, who had lost their heads. However..

“Wow.. What is this?”

“Ah, haha. That leaves a lot of time to clean up…”

The poacher’s hut, which was always so messy that it gave me a headache every time I came, was changed into something like a pet store.

What the hell is this? Is this really a poacher’s hut? Isn’t it just a pet shop?

‘What is this…’

The theme has completely changed, as if the painting has changed. Originally, when the shop owner, the poacher, was there, there was really no space to set foot on, so there was no mess like that…

“Are you here to buy something?”

“Uh. That, right…?”

“Then, I’ll take you here, please wait a moment.”

Killian slipped through the sliding door where I originally traded with poachers.

“Wow.. It was such a tidy space.”

“That’s what I mean.”

“Awesome..”

When Killian left, Cheshire and Ayla also exclaimed in exclamations. It’s really great. It was felt that the poacher had kept the shop open just for fun, while Killian was really working hard to get a full-time job here.

‘Well… He must have realized that it’s much better to work leisurely here than to be used as a combat strength meter.’

Like a quick-witted guy from the beginning, he seemed to realize that if he followed me around, he would face a bad end.

“Uh? Here, there is also an aquarium.”

“Oh, really.”

We decided to look around the store properly while waiting for Killian.

I was mainly interested in food, so I was looking at it. Ayla, who was observing aquatic plants in the middle of the day, called me to see if she noticed something unusual.

I went closer and inspected the round fishbowl Ayla was observing…

“OMG. Weird-looking fish…”

How can I express it? Tropical fish with snouts resembling sea anemones were crammed into the tank.

“No, not that one, this one.”

“Ah..”

I guess I didn’t want to show this. I checked the other side…

“No, what is this again?”

“It’s an aquatic mushroom. Aren’t you curious? First time seeing something like this.”

“I’m seeing it for the first time too. No, why do mushrooms swim in the water…”

It was a living organism with a structure that was difficult to understand with the head even when seen with the eyes. It’s a strange combination that seems to be a graphic error.

A mushroom that swims in the water and eats moss. No, is this a mushroom? What are mushrooms? It felt like fungus was growing on my head.

At that time, Cheshire called me as if he had discovered something.

“Junah, here! Did you see the floating snail?”

“Yes? What is this…”

Cheshire is amazed at the bugs covered in slime floating in the air.

No, it’s really weird Previously, the inside was very cluttered and messy, so I didn’t even know these things existed. Watching them made me want to buy them all and decorate the base.

Of course, since this store itself is an item shop, there is no way to purchase other than today’s recommended items.

“Ah, everything is ready. Recommended product of the day. Come see.”

“Uh..”

Just then, Killian called us, saying that the product was ready.

“Oh. You were here. Nice to meet you, Henry.”

Upon entering the concrete room, Henry, who had lost his head, leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. Seeing that he can’t respond to my words, it seems that he can’t even hear me.

“Has the poacher ever returned?”

“Oh, that’s never happened yet…”

“Okay?”

“Yes. They seem to be still chasing Lamech, but they seem to be pretty good at running away.”

“Hmm..”

Lamech I think I could rip his head off if I met him now. It seemed that he couldn’t catch it easily because his escape skills were at a high level.

“Then, shall we look at something?”

“I’m sure you’ll be satisfied since I brought it out with something hidden inside.”

“Okay…? No, is it okay to sell hidden things?”

Haha. Looking at it, it seems that even the poacher has forgotten about it. Oh, and it’s not a stock item!”

“Ugh.”

I thought I was trying to sell my stock as a tray, so I glared at it, but Killian immediately saw through my expression and waved his hand saying it wasn’t stock.

Also quick-witted The refutator quickly sees what kind of comment I will make.

“Then. Let’s see…”

I went through the recommended products with both Ayla and Cheshire.

First of all, the first product was a glistening black slime mass in a glass bottle. It was a creature that felt as if the pitch-black universe had been forcibly squeezed into a glass bottle.

[Outer Space Primordial Creature: An unknown outer space colony. It is judged to be a type of primitive slime without a nucleus, and is considered a ‘cast’ made in the early days of the universe. It can be tamed by feeding it a spirit body or ectoplasm. When it has grown to a certain extent, it can change its form to the owner’s desired appearance, and has very high resistance to physical attacks.]
[Warning, if you touch it with your bare hands without increasing intimacy, your life may be in danger.]
[Price: 48000C]

“Yeah..”

“It’s unique.”

“A raw slime?”

“They say they use ectoplasm as their stock.”

“Uh? Do you get along well with Eunha?”

“Ah, that’s right.”

Lee Eun-ha is almost the only person in our camp who can generate ectoplasm on her own. In the process of absorbing the spiritual body and creating loneliness, it emits high-quality ectoplasm.

Moreover, as befits a class called Curse Doll, the existence of the galaxy itself is a shamanic tool, and it could be said to be a kind of living organism Kotoribako.

It really fits well with this guy who is a fetish creature of the primeval universe.

‘Wait for a sec. I can’t believe this..’

I immediately took out the Apocalypse and checked the information on the second awakening recorded on the back page. Sataniel wrote down all the secondary awakening information of my harem members last time, so you can see it right away.

‘Curse doll… Where is the Curse doll… Ah!’

Found.

[Class Name: Curse Doll]
[Basic Conditions for Second Awakening: Level 20 Exceeded]
[Required Material for 2nd Awakening: Lost Spellbook]
[Secondary Awakening Additional Materials: Primeval Slime, Ancient Casting Box]

Everyone has a different awakening method, but in the case of the galaxy’s Curse Doll, they had to obtain a lost spell. Where to get it was not written properly. Even Sataniel couldn’t grasp the detailed information properly.

Come to think of it, Yewon was written only as a four-handed beast. The exact location of the Four Beasts is not written, but considering that it was in Hell, there will surely be a chance to find it later.

Anyway, the important thing now is that the primordial slime is the right tool to strengthen the galaxy.

“This is a tool for the 2nd awakening.”

“Also.”

“Looking at it, the gisaeng tree Ha-eun uses was also bought here.”

“I see.”

As Cheshire said, the parasitic tree that half-awakened Son Ha-eun was also purchased from the poacher’s hut. Thanks to that, Son Ha-eun suddenly rose from being a lich kid with little presence to our faction’s best necromancer.

‘I’ve already got 2 secondary awakening materials from the poacher’s hut…’

It’s a bit disappointing that it’s not an essential ingredient that enables the second awakening right away, but it seemed like the galaxy would become quite strong with just this.

Because Son Ha-eun has become a very important person right now.

As a parasitic tree, Son Ha-eun spends her days playing and eating without being touched by me.

He’s doing more than 12 servings with just one gisaengmok, so we have no choice but to give him preferential treatment for 12 servings.

Dyurahan, who is playing with Son Ha-eun in the name of bodyguard, is a little angry, but… Son Ha-eun said she wanted to make him his subordinate, so he had no choice but to give it up.

“Once bought.”

“Yes. Ah, the amount of the goods sold here is all…”

“I know.”

“Yes!”

If you purchase an item at a place designated as a shop, no matter how much the clerk is your slave, the coin will not return to you. Zerakiel had informed me that the management team had taken more than half of the rescue. The remaining half will go to store maintenance.

Anyway, I packed the outer space primitive creature into my bag. Then, I checked the creature inside the cage that was covered with a cloth. Is it a creature?

[A monkey with a severed hand: This is the mummy of a baby monkey whose hand has been cut off. It has no life response, but it is still alive. He resents the shaman who cut off his hand. Killing a shaman grants one light wish. If magic is injected into the monkey mummy, the location of the shaman with the monkey hand can be tracked.]
[Price: 60000C]

“Her.”

Some time ago I found a fetish to strengthen the galaxy. But immediately after, objects that could track the shaman popped out.

‘It smells of a lost spellbook…’

Could it be that the sorcerer with the monkey hand has the ‘Lost Spellbook’ that can awaken the galaxy? Somehow I think so.

Honestly, at this point, if you pretend, you can guess. It should be said that future developments can be roughly grasped.

‘Even if you don’t have it, I think you at least know where it is…’

It is said that Killian brought out the items buried deep in the warehouse. .

Is this also my lucky power? I don’t know. I just feel a sense of incongruity that something is too exquisitely timed to dismiss this mysterious coincidence as just a coincidence.

Let’s buy one You absolutely have to buy this.

“Purchase.”

“Yes!”

I attached the monkey mummy by courier. You can pick it up later by returning to the base.

“There are two left.”

“I see. Let’s see…”

What was left was a withered root plant and an unidentified vertebrae. First I checked the root plants.

“Root? Is it kudzu?”

“Kudzu?”

“Ah, there is a plant that is a root plant from the earth and will continue to multiply if left alone.”

“Oh oh. There are such dangerous creatures on Earth too.”

It’s not as dangerous to humans as the man-eating plants of the other world, but it’s a plant that’s harmful to the ecosystem.

We know that if we leave the kudzu root alone, the ecosystem will be ruined. I think they said it was a pretty serious problem in countries where kudzu is not eaten.

Anyway I read the description of the root plant.

[Samcheoncho root: After planting it in the ground, pour an appropriate amount of water, it will take root into the ground and spread widely. Weave roots into surrounding plants to assimilate them. Assimilated plants are influenced by the state of three thousand seconds.]
[Price: 77000C]

“What is this sound.”

“So.. If you plant Samcheoncho, it means that all plants within a certain area will be taken over by Samcheoncho.”

“Then, if you take good care of it for 3,000 seconds…”

“The rest of the plants are managed accordingly.”

“It’s crazy.”

This sounds really crazy. It was like a plant that an extremely ignorant forest keeper made to care for the entire forest in front of his house. It is said that if you pump nutrients in 3,000 seconds, it will spread throughout the forest.

“Purchase.”

“Yep. We will pack it for you.”

Got some pretty good stuff. Now for the last thing. What the hell is this vertebra?

[Removable Parasitic Spine: The spine of an ancient race. If you bring a vertebrae to the back of a creature, it will immediately attach itself to you and become a parasite. Creatures with parasitic vertebrae attached to them have a rapid increase in intelligence and a rapid increase in muscle mass. You can also learn the dark knowledge of the unclean.]
[Caution. When the vessel is completed, the body is taken away. As knowledge increases, despair deepens.]
[Price: 50000C]

“Oh.”

What is the shady knowledge of the unclean?

Once purchased

There are plenty of people to use as vessels.
