Chapter 1283 – [Eventful Summer]

The money obtained from selling fairy tears is worth 24,000 gold coins.

A staggering sum, Ruri said, enough to buy two more Neo Drums. This is why selling luxury goods is the most profitable.

…….But how did Ruri buy Neo Drums without fairy tears?

“I made it by collecting parts one by one. I’m a gongdol!!!!”

“Ah, come to think of it, Luli’s brains were soaring anyway.”

“I use that strange head for dripping, but!!!!”

“Yes, yes”

24,000 gold coins. Of course, you can’t carry all of them with you, so you get some in cash and some in bills.

It is said that 2,000 bills will be received in cash, the remaining 12,000 bills will be kept as bills, and the remaining 10,000 bills will be used in this city.

Originally, it would be better to just shake off city bills and leave, but it was a large clan that considered it different from the sunfish clan, so it was different in reliability, so it could be used like bills in other safe zones.

“Is it like the early paper money that comes naturally from the gold standard?”

“It’s heavy when you carry it around, isn’t it, Dad?”

“That’s right, 24,000 gold coins. I wouldn’t even be able to carry it normally.”

Let’s say it’s 5 grams per gold coin. Then, even if there are only 20, it is 100 grams, and even if it is only 200, it is 1 kilo.

Then, the 20,000 gold coins we have… Would be about 100 kilos. Of course, if you share that amount, you can carry it to some extent, but it is tiring to carry around with such a cheap amount of money. Moreover, even if Neo Drum is a ship, it is impossible to carry all of them.

So when the scale of money grows, it’s good to use bills. This side of civilization degenerates back to the gold standard and then develops like that again.

“Okay!!! Then we’ll go shopping tomorrow and disband!!!!”

After discussing, they parted ways and went back to their rooms.

However, after a while, Ruri came to my room…

“Do you want to make a snowman with me~?”

“Didn’t you come to make something other than a snowman?”

“No, otoke know!!!!!”

“I’ve already said it, but it’s strange if you don’t know. Come in.”

“Oh, if you were like the usual uncle, I would have kicked you out by telling you not to say anything strange.”

“That’s what you do to people who are not even lovers, but are dashing. It’s not you.”

“Huh”

Ruri, who has been drinking alcohol and has a sweet taste, came to me.

It’s been quite a while… I still remember the time Ruri passed away. Maybe it’s because she’s the first girl among Ruri to become my lover, so the feeling is a bit different.

“Didn’t you want to see me?”

“I often thought about it. But if you ask me if you want to see it, you know I’m not the type to go out on purpose.”

“Well, since the old man is a reincarnated person, I guess I have a different opinion about that part.”

A reincarnated person must also know how to sever lingering attachments. If it wasn’t for that, I would have been very busy looking for my acquaintances and lovers.

Moreover, the pain intensifies. The longer the relationship with each other, the greater the pain of breaking up.

“Then what about Shion?”

“Shion’s story is different. She doesn’t die in the first place.”

“What if she dies?”

“Shion is dead, why am I living?”

“Oh, a romantic who dies because he can’t live”

Under such circumstances, I wonder if the reason why I love Shion is because she is a woman who will not die in such a reincarnation. Even if I die and repeat her reincarnation, Shion will continue to live.

And after talking for a while… The atmosphere starts to flow quite strangely. After sitting on the bed and talking, we were lying on the bed before we knew it.

Little by little, Ruri whispered in my ear.

“Mister, do you know what? Am I a virgin this time around?”

“Didn’t you tell me that before?”

“So, by the way… Do I have to be kind?”

The night Ruri, whom they hadn’t seen in a while, made a request. She said that she was cute.

*        *    *

The next morning after waking up after enjoying everything we did all night, we washed up properly and gathered with our friends to have breakfast.

Eden looked at Ruri and me coming out of the same room and smiled slyly while talking to her.

“Did you enjoy the night?”

“Neg daddy is cool”

“No!!!! There’s a sex drip like a pad lip!!!!!”

“It is Ruri’s courtesy to counter with the sex drip attack method if he hits the sex drip attack method. It is also written in the Kojiki.”

“Mr. Susanoo, is there a way to kill sex drips in Kojigi?”

-Hey!!!!! There is no such thing as a gojigi!!!!

“I heard that Susanoo-san isn’t there.”

“Did you ask that directly and sit down?!”

In the meantime, Mary felt the harvest coming from Ruri and me and put on a puzzled expression.

No matter how physically weak a wizard is, if he is a transcendent, his five senses are different from those of ordinary people. So, even after washing, we should be able to smell the smell coming from our bodies.

“No, how long have you been doing that?”

“Uh… I don’t know because I didn’t count back 20 times.”

“Twenty times?! Can you usually do twenty times?!”

“Even a male transcendental wizard of the same type as you would be able to do it twenty times.”

Even if you are a member of the storyteller family, who is reputed to be physically weak, your energy will be extraordinary when you become a transcendent. Of course, if the opponent was the same transcendentalist, it would be a mandatory defense battle.

Uhm…… I just remembered. Lucian Gnome, the current head of the storyteller family and the current Wisdom Lord, is the mother of his mother. Even so, I wonder what the relationship between his parents, the first Wisdom Lord and the absolute knowledge night, was like.

For reference, the absolute of knowledge is a woman. Even if one side is a rod and has infinite stamina, the other side is an absolute power… I think this is definitely an absolute power of knowledge.

They probably met each other while testing to prove their sexual knowledge. Unfounded speculation, but possible.

“Today’s shopping!!! Let’s buy food, buy equipment, and stock up on things to travel for a while!!!! If you go beyond here anyway, it’s a volcanic area, so there’s no safe zone, so I’ll have to buy something to last on the sea for a while!!!”

“I’d like to buy some meat.”

“But Eden, are you Yang Shenlong?

“I’m not the only one like that, I’m used to dealing with them”

“You’re talking like a woman managing a fishery.”

“I do fish management while dating many people. It’s not because I’m not interested in the first place.”

“Mister, how the hell do you teach a child?”

“Well”

And as Luli expected, when we said we were going out, Yang Xianlong followed us.

“Oh, Eden Sozer. Are you going out?”

“Yes, I’m trying to find things I need to travel. I’m going out and buying things because I need this and that.”

“Then I’ll go with you.”

“I don’t know if I’m bothering Xianlong-san.”

Haha, no. It’s the lungs. And just call me Xianlong comfortably.”

“Ah, yes”

In fact, Eden seemed to be saying, ‘You must have a lot of work to do, so can we play?’

But it makes me feel so fucking bad when he’s playing tricks on my daughter right in front of me.

You need a shotgun, a fucking big shotgun. I remember there was a shotgun for fathers with daughters in Horizon.

Anyway, we went out and headed to the market. Much larger than the market of the Sunfish Clan, there are quite a lot to see in this bustling and bustling place.

In particular, there was an incredibly huge fish hanging on a hook somewhere in the store. It looks like a cow hung up in a butcher shop.

“First of all, buy some fruit, and buy something that can be preserved for a long time.”

“There’s also a refrigerator on the Neo Drum, so I’m sure I can store some of it.”

“But I can’t keep it for a long time…… I don’t know for a few days, but after that I’ll have to fill it with dried fruit.”

As much as they are cultivated in plant facilities, they also sell fruits and meat here. However, the price is very expensive.

Even for fruit alone, an apple the size of a fist is worth about 10 gold coins. If a large fish is worth a single gold coin, you know roughly how expensive it is.

It can only be so. Presumably, even if the plant facilities were huge, these safe zones would have far exceeded the existing dependent population. So it’s only natural that the supply can’t keep up with the demand.

Not only fruits, but also meat…….Really expensive. If we think of Eden as something to eat and buy it, perhaps the 20,000 gold coins we earned will soon disappear.

“Oh, there are clothes too.”

“Most of the things sold here are used.”

“How about it? Just wash it and wear it.”

As the market was large, other daily necessities were also sold. People here often wear swimsuit-like clothes because the sea is nearby and the sunlight is humid and hot, but other than that, normal clothes are also sold.

However, as Ruri said, used goods. New products will have to go to a better market in the first place. It can’t be helped.

“You seem to be buying a lot of things. Where is your destination and why do you need these things?”

“We are looking for a dry land”

“Isn’t that just a legend?”

“It’s said to be a legend, but it doesn’t mean that no one has proven it doesn’t exist. Then it’s worth looking for.”

That’s what romance is. And even if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter.

Because if you don’t have it, it’s enough to make it by pioneering it as if it doesn’t exist. Ruri in her previous life also created a paradise like that, and that paradise is now called the Spirit Empire.

If only fools follow their dreams, on the contrary, it is said that if you are not a fool, you will not be able to achieve your dreams.

Oh, so you’re saying that Ruri is also an idiot?

“You’re an idiot who knows nothing but you.”

“Ugh, devil. Can you stop salting me?”

“Talk about that to Ruri.”

After finishing the shopping to some extent… It was around the time I was about to leave the market and go home.

Some distance from the exit of the market, you can see houses made by weaving together. It is a shabby house made with leftover materials that seems to be blown out at night.

Eyes are felt between such houses. Most of them looked envious, but there were also signs of people trying to steal something, such as pickpockets.

Fortunately, thanks to bringing Yang Xianlong, I guess that doesn’t happen. Even if we were strangers, there wouldn’t be a pickpocket who would touch the son of the clan leader who rules this place.

There were starving people at the end of Eden’s gaze as he felt and looked at the people in the slums.

“Dad”

“No”

“Why?”

It was a short conversation, but a lot was exchanged.

The altruistic value that Eden thinks of as the Choi family is a hungry person. If such people were in front of them, it was only natural that Eden would want to feed them something.

I don’t know about Korea in the 21st century, where there are few people starving.

“Even if we deliberately spend money to feed them, that is not a fundamental solution.

“After all, the world is like this, so is there not enough to eat?”

“It’s not that, it’s because of the people who have it. Even on the 21st century, in some places, healthy ingredients are thrown away because the market collapses, but people starve to death in some places.”

It’s a very sensitive story, so we talk in Korean, which few people listen to.

The reason I say this sternly to Eden is because self-sacrifice is inevitably included in altruistic values. At least, I think it will be difficult for me to see Eden caring for others while shaving his body like that.

It is good to do for others, not yourself. Because if the people of the world lived like that, the world would be a lot better.

But I hope you can understand my heart when you see me like that. Who would want to see a child who lives sacrificing himself?

“You can’t save all the hungry people. That’s no hypocrisy, but know that.”

“………..”

Acting altruistically is the nature of the Choi family, so acting according to that nature is not hypocrisy, but definitely good.

But good intentions don’t just produce the right results. I have often seen cases where a beggar made a good deal of money and then was killed by other people who were after the money.

“But I’m barely feeding the hungry.”

“Eden”

“It’s not like I’m trying to take care of you for the rest of my life. But I don’t think it’s okay to live your whole life without knowing that you’re full. You won’t be happy every day, but it’s okay to have at least one happy day.”

“Well………”

If you think about it, the value that Eden cherishes is rather low.

I am Zion and Gilhyun. They are all people in the world, but Eden is a hungry person. At least there is a surefire solution for hungry people to eat their fill.

Of course, as I said before, it can’t be a fundamental solution, but… At least for a day, I can give you at least one memory of eating delicious food to your heart’s content.

Mary smiled and said, as if she had noticed my thoughts.

“The devil is also a father. They say there are no parents who win over their children, right?”

“It looks like that”

Parents stop their children from going on a rough road, but if they say they want to go, it is parents who help them.

Still, our Eden is really nice.
