Chapter 2396 – 2396. Eternal Eden

Obtained a reward for conquering a grade A dungeon. It was a small bottle made of bone.

When I saw the unusual-looking bottle, I raised my eyes.

‘Is this the potion I know?’

Even in modern times, recovery potions exist, and they are considered the second most essential item for hunters after weapons and armor. The highest-quality recovery potion that I usually use is also made by a real-life alchemist.

‘You can obtain recovery potions in God’s world of Atlantis, but the effectiveness of real recovery potions does not decrease even if you use them in other worlds.’

In reality, potion production technology is quite high. Of course, recovery potions are not all-purpose. There are no significant side effects, but there are limits.

It is less effective if taken excessively in a short period of time. Even the highest quality recovery potion cannot regenerate a severed arm. Unlike external injuries, the efficacy of internal injury recovery is low.

‘In addition to recovery potions, there are also doping potions. However, it is not as popular as recovery potions.’

The biggest reason is side effects.

Useful doping potions had side effects. Things without side effects are not very effective. The price is quite high for such a topic. That’s why most hunters don’t use doping potions.

But there are exceptions.

It is not a doping potion made by a real-life alchemist, but a doping potion obtained as a reward after conquering a dungeon.

The effect is excellent and there are no side effects.

‘That’s what this potion is. The power of the earth dragon.’

A doping potion with no side effects. The effect is the best among existing strength doping potions. The price is about 7 billion won, making it difficult to obtain even if you have money.

Another characteristic is that the amount of strength increase varies depending on the bather. When taken by a C-class hunter, strength increases by more than 7 times. For Class A hunters, it is more than twice that. The effect lasts for exactly one minute.

The word ‘potion’ is actually a more appropriate word ‘magic’.

‘I have a potion copy machine, so I got one for free. It’s a 1+1 event that only applies to me.’

I am especially happy because the strength doping potion is very useful to me.

For combat? Of course that’s not bad either. Because that is its original purpose.

However, the method of use that immediately comes to mind is inventory. Conditions for placing an item in inventory. It has to be mine, and I have to be able to lift it.

‘Now, if I use all my mana, how can I lift up to 2 tons?’

Supercars weighing a little over 1 ton can be easily lifted and stored in the inventory.

‘I also want to carry a fighter plane around. But most of them weigh over 10 tons. At least a helicopter is better.’

There are also lightweight helicopters weighing less than 1 ton, but they are not very attractive. What I want is an attack helicopter.

‘The famous Apache helicopter weighed 5 tons. Even when it’s a tin can.’

If you arm yourself with various things and fill up with fuel, you can go further.

‘If you take the Earth Dragon’s Power potion, you can put an attack helicopter in your inventory. 1 min? ‘You can fit dozens of them.’

There were no conditions when removing items from inventory. Just put it in.

Of course, purchasing an attack helicopter is difficult. At least in Korea, it is impossible. The same goes for the United States.

‘Now that Africa and the Middle East are at war, it is easy to meet arms dealers or brokers.’

Africa has so many monsters that it is called the kingdom of monsters.

In the Middle East, wars between people are bigger than monsters.

‘Well, it’s easier to save in the world of Eternal Eden than in reality. But… The problem is that you can’t take real-life items to the world of Eternal Eden. Even if the opposite is possible.’

Moreover, in the world of Eternal Eden, I was weak. It probably won’t even lift 1 ton. A helicopter would be out of the question.

It was a time when I was thinking about various things. Ayoung Han and Ciel approached.

“You worked hard, Eugene. It seemed like you didn’t need my help at all? What was given as a reward was the power of the Earth Dragon, right? “You’re lucky.”

“After. It wasn’t that difficult.”

Even though my hands and feet were shaking a little, I still had some strength left. Moreover, I didn’t even use full recovery.

“Thank you for your hard work. Seong Yu-jin’s potential appears to be enough to make her an S-class candidate. “I, Ciel Roussel, will vouch for this and report it to the World Hunter Association.”

Ciel approached.

I paused for a moment, looking at her pink hair. She was flawless. As of now, I have no idea how to attack her. She also lacked information about her.

‘I guess I’ll have to postpone attacking her for now.’

“Are S-class candidates announced right away?”

“No. It will take at least two days. Ultimately, certification from the President of the World Hunter Association is required. I will guarantee Sung Yu-jin with my name, so it is certain that she will become an S-class candidate.”

“I hope it isn’t announced on a large scale.”

“Why?”

“Because it attracts too much attention. “Every time I go to the convenience store, it’s bothersome if too much attention is drawn.”

Ayoung Han nodded her head next to me. She recalled her days when she was an S-class candidate. At the time, her popularity was more than that of a popular celebrity.

“That’s right. I had a bit of a hard time because of that. Broadcasting stations are contacting me every day, other large guilds are offering various things, and special agents from other countries are also approaching me? “It was difficult to go to the convenience store because even ordinary people recognized me.”

I have to go on a date with Han Harin or other women, but ordinary people stop by to ask for my autograph? Just imagining it was annoying.

“All right. I will suggest this to the World Hunter Association. Still, everyone who knows, including the Korean Hunter Association, will know.”

“Of course it should be.”

Only then will I be able to receive national support as an S-class candidate.

“If you become an S-class candidate, the government and association will provide you with various support. Thanks to that, I was able to become stronger quickly. But… Don’t just accept something just because it’s offered. Because they all become debt.”

Han Ah-young smiled bitterly and said. That’s probably half of the reason she works so hard. Because she received a lot of support from the association.

“Huh. Sister. Thank you for the advice.”

Of course I have no intention of stopping what is coming. Support? You will receive everything. And when I became S-class… Just pretend not to know.

‘I’m S-rank, so what are they going to do?’

All you have to do is suck up their support.

We left the dungeon. I broke up with Ciel. She had to report to the World Hunter Association.

“Sister. Ciel, does she have a high status in the World Hunter Association?”

“Maybe? I won’t go into detail, but… She seemed to have quite a bit of power within the World Hunter Association.”

It reminded me of the absolute hypnosis stickers. Wouldn’t it be easier in many ways if you were to hypnotize someone like Baek Ji-eun with an absolute hypnosis sticker? You can also dig up internal information about the World Hunter Association.

‘I don’t have 3,000 points to buy hypnosis stickers right now.’

Afterward, I went into Han Ha-rin’s house with Han A-young. It’s been a while since I enjoyed Black and White Ssangbo and 3P.

[I chose Eternal Eden.]

[Let the fun begin.]

Entered the world of Eternal Eden.

The first thing to do is check your inventory. Items in the inventory did not disappear. But I couldn’t take it out due to the penalty. [Eternal Eden] The same goes for objects in the world. Once you put it in your inventory, you can take it out in another world.

‘It’s no joke, it’s annoying. If you want a cola, you have to go to the refrigerator instead of taking it out right away.’

I shake my head.

And in this world, cola is a rare drink that is hard to find. Because this world is heading towards destruction. Although TV is still uninterrupted and trade with other countries continues… How long will that last?

You can immediately feel through the window that the world is going crazy.

‘January 5, 2024. My eyes are so full of words.’

It’s winter, so it’s natural for it to snow. However, if the snow is so heavy that it piles up to your thighs, the story is different. Outside the window, all I can see is pure white snow. And it continues to snow. The temperature is -7 degrees.

This is Seoul, not Gangwon-do. It is beyond common sense that this much snow falls. Moreover, the temperature dropped significantly.

‘The summit between South Korea and North Korea was held on January 7th. I decided to take a plane to Pyongyang, North Korea… If the weather continues like this, the plane can’t take off. The same goes for helicopters.’

There was a high probability that the summit would be canceled.

‘But the news of cancellation hasn’t arrived yet… The leaders of South Korea and North Korea want a summit. Well, I guess that’s because it seems like a real war is about to break out. We don’t want that from each other.’

Perhaps, if the weather is good that day, a plane or helicopter will take off and the summit will proceed.

Outside, people wearing work clothes and holding shovels appeared. They started snow removal work before more snow piled up at Seongak Elementary School.

‘With the technology we have now, we can make a snow removal machine, but… It’s a waste of resources to invest in things like snow removal machines. You can just tell those idiots who are playing around with snow removal work.’

We do not make people work without pay. It may be a very small amount of money, but the compensation will be paid. And with the money paid, you might buy things like candles or firewood. A guy with a lot of money will buy an electric stove. Electricity costs are separate.

Currently, Seongak Elementary School was a small society. A small society where I exist as the owner. It is no exaggeration to say that it is my territory.

“Eugene.”

While I was blankly watching the people struggling with snow removal, Na Chae-young, who had already entered the room, called me. She is a busty woman wearing a white gown.

“Oh, Chaeyoung. What’s going on? “It’s still morning, but you came out of the lab?”

“Electricity consumption has increased dramatically due to the recent weather. The electricity stored in the battery is about to run out.”

“Ah. I see.”

Seongak Elementary School has a generator, but it is not running. This is because I supply electricity instead of a generator to save fuel.

Usually, the extra-large battery is charged with electricity once a week. That was enough for now. There were two more days left before charging, but it was unexpected that it was already running low.

“Well, just recharge it and that’s it.”

“Please. It would be a big problem if the lab machines malfunctioned even once. Even though there are emergency batteries, it is better to prevent emergencies.”

I headed to the electrical room on the 3rd floor. I headed to the electrical room on the 3rd floor. I placed my hand on the battery and electricity flowed through it. Maintaining a constant voltage was important. The voltage is raised too high, and the battery explodes.

It was the most boring and tiring job. I was standing there blankly for a while, charging the battery. Na Chae-young’s urgent voice rings out from the ceiling speaker.

-Eugene! It’s a big deal! Dozens of Mew Hounds climbed over the fence and entered Seongak Elementary School!

Mew Hound.

One of the dog variants. It has the shape of a dog, but has red skin and is faster and stronger than an ordinary dog. They are extremely aggressive and more dangerous than wolves. Surprisingly, although his sense of smell was not good, his hearing was excellent.

It was difficult for an ordinary person to deal with a Mew Hound without a firearm.

‘Even in the original game, the invasion event occurred when bored. When you think about it that way, it’s not surprising.’

I asked as I continued charging the battery.

“How did they get over the fence?”

-There was snow. Outside, there was almost a meter of piled up. And the more you step on snow, the harder it becomes.

“Did you step on the snow and jump over the fence? Even so, it’s strange that they suddenly rush at me. “Those bastards don’t often attack people’s territory.”

As a hunter by profession, I had some knowledge of the characteristics of mutants in this world.

-I think the leader is a mutant. The Holy SS can respond to regular Mew Hounds. But… Variants are still too much. Because there is no weapon like that. I need your strength.

“No, we can resolve it with the Holy Guard. If they die, you can bring them back to life. It’s good to gain experience through this opportunity.”

-Eugene. There are too many eyes to see. You know. Not everyone at Seongak Elementary School is a Seongjingyo believer who sincerely follows you.

The ability to revive people was made known to the whole world. If you do that, you will become a target around the world. I didn’t have the strength to handle him yet.

“… Damn.”

I clicked my tongue and ran out of the electric room.
