31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 46)
The space was engulfed in silence.
Although Snowfall did not know the identity of the beings beyond the veil of fog, they probably knew it among themselves..
Janet is here and who is she?.
The merchant who just showed the goods to Jiang Xue said:.
“That's why I told you, right? Your pride will only be broken anyway.”
Other merchants flinched as if something was going on..
“You played a trick, Janet..”
“creation? Hoho, there’s really nothing the old man can’t say..”
“what?”
“What a waste of time it was to try to lure my customers with such trash! As a good merchant, I feel guilty for wasting your time..”
“this… Holy shit... . How do you know it's Janet??”
The merchant, now clearly Janet, spoke to the lamenting merchants:.
“You are here to sell things, I am here to sell you things. Don't you know the difference??”
“What's the difference??”
Snowfall knew the difference.
The moment I saw Janet's items, I clearly felt the difference..
‘It depends on whether the item you want to trade is something you need or not..’
The items belonging to those other than Janet were items of heavy value that seemed to be aimed only at Snowfall's madness. However, Janet's items were the items that Snowfall needed most at this moment..
In this way, Janet is not simply in Eul's position, but is in an equal relationship..
Janet threatened the other merchants in a thunderous voice..
“If you don’t know, get out! You third-rate people.”
“…Janet, let's go back and see you..”
“However much. Well then, see. I have important business to do.”
“Ugh….”
“By the way, if the trading volume is still that high, it might be a bit dangerous.….”
“That's not your concern. let's go!”
Other merchants left one after another through the large hole..
The surrounding fog gradually cleared. But it didn't get brighter..
Red background and evil mask.
Things symbolizing Janet filled the area again..
“Phew, I would have been disappointed if I hadn't recognized it..”
“I knew it as soon as I saw it.”
“also! Because I have discernment….”
Kang Seol checked the items Janet held out..
[Paranoid Gelatin]
Grade: Rare
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
Special ability: Can solidify highly volatile energy into a soft jelly form..
This was the paranoid gelatin that Kang Seol wanted..
[poison herb powder]
Grade: Rare
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
Special ability: If you mix it in water and drink it, you will die within 5 seconds unless you have special resistance. However, if you are poisoned by a poison stronger than the poison of the poisonous plant, the poison of the poisonous plant will eat up the poison..
This was a key ingredient needed for the antidote to shadow poison..
Both items were what Snow Seol needed most..
“How do you know?”
“What? ah! Are you asking how do you know that Snowman needs this item??”
“You know very well..”
“You'll be disappointed when you hear it….”
Janet pointed to Snowfall’s belongings..
“the black flower.”
“ah!”
“Hehe… that's right. Did you forget that it was me who passed it on??”
Black flowers can be used as is, but they undergo tremendous evolution once processed. And there was no way Janet didn’t know the processing method..
“However, it is a very different matter for me to know the secret of the black flower and for an ordinary human being caught up in the merger of worlds to know this secret..”
“…….”
“You are no ordinary person..”
Janet figured out a lot of the snowfall with just one number..
By handing over the black flower, we opened the door to the next transaction, and in fact, we were on the verge of concluding that transaction..
And, in the process, I noticed something special about snowfall..
Kang Seol looked at Janet with nervous eyes. However, contrary to his reaction, Janet put her finger in her ear and said,.
“Well, when a merger occurs, various circumstances arise. You might be like that too. Rest assured! That Janet is not an unscrupulous merchant who exposes her customers' secrets..”
And smiled sinisterly.
The demon mask was shaking..
“All I have to do is sell things..”
“But how do you know about poisonous plant??”
“ah! I've been spying on your recent moves..”
“Is it possible??”
“What else is impossible? Anyway, the two together are 3,000 madness..”
Kangseol, surprised by the price being cheaper than expected, looked at Janet and nodded..
“Okay, done deal.!”
Snowfall smiled with satisfaction, then realized something and asked Janet..
“…Is there something more you want??”
“Could it be that that big merchant, Janet, prepared just these things? If you have time….”
“Let's take a look..”
“Now, let's guess what Janet, the magician of trading, needs most from her customers.?”
“…….”
When Snowfall was looking at Janet with a sad look, Janet said.
“pants.”
“uh?”
“You got it right, right? For some reason, everything else was fine, but there was a foul smell coming from that area.….”
“…That's all I have to say.”
“I guess you haven't found a skilled craftsman? Well, I guess it's a good thing I can still adapt to the new world... . ruler! Anyway, I never thought the day would come when Janet would show off this product..”
Janet, who introduced her items rather grandly, took something out of her sleeve. Even though it was clearly not big enough to fit in a sleeve, it came with a full body..
“ruler! Please confirm.”
“then.”
[Shroud of the Black Wraith]
Level: Insanity
Exclusive Job: Shadow Summoner
appropriate level : 18 – 25
defense : 95
stamina : 100/100
Weight: 0.3kg
Pants made from the spider web of the corrupted holy beast Alketra. Although it looks nothing special, it contains Alketra's ability to manipulate shadows..
Base Abilities: Wisdom + 12 Spirit + 7 Stamina + 5
Special Ability: Shadow Summoner's abilities increase by 10%, Shadow Summoner's ability increases by 5%..
“…‘'Insanity' level?”
“Items that have passed through us are marked as mad beyond a certain level..”
Rare was displayed normally, so this item was probably treasure grade..
Snowfall stared blankly, putting her black, flowy pants on her hands. Already, Snowfall is full of options for this product..
The problem is the price.
When Snowfall looked at Janet with cold eyes, Janet raised both hands..
“Considering the context, I'll just pass it to 10,000 madness..”
“Are you not going to put any conditions this time??”
“Because it's a reasonable price. And now you know?”
“what? ah….”
“You need me?”
Janet was right. Compared to other mad merchants, Janet was so outstanding..
“Are you coming with the authors again next time??”
“Well, maybe it's true, maybe it's not?”
“I'm curious, what are you doing with your madness??”
“Madness is everything to us. Can't you guess? Those who were once your gods have abandoned you for madness….”
When the story of the gods came out, Kang Seol’s expression became extremely cold..
Janet said goodbye to Kang Seol with a sharp look..
“Oh, and I almost forgot about the invitation. Here and next time, happy dealings! don't die.”
Janet doesn't know whether she's a woman or a man, or whether she's a transcendent being. Did Janet develop a love for Snow Seol?.
“Because I don’t want to lose the business I worked so hard to get..”
That wasn't it..
[Obtained an Invitation to Madness.]
[Obtained the Shroud of the Black Wraith.]
[Obtained Paranoid Gelatin.]
[Acquired poison herb powder.]
* * *
When I woke up, it was morning before I knew it..
As soon as Snow Seol woke up, she stopped by the auction house and purchased the accompanying ingredients for the antidote, then returned to the annex..
After he returned to the annex, the first place he went to was unexpectedly the kitchen..
“Should we start with the antidote?.”
I wasn't sure yet whether the antidote would be used or not, but it would be more valuable than having it in powder form as is..
Manufacturing the antidote did not require complicated processing. All you had to do was add the designated herbs and poison herb powder with water and boil it..
Buzzer…
The sour smell generated during the process was unavoidable..
A terrible smell, unknown whether it was poison or antidote, spread through the outbuildings and caused headaches..
“Cough… call….”
- Don't die, snowman!
- If you die, no one will see you! Hold on!
- In fact, if you die in the rest area, you will become a legend haha.
After half a day, the dark liquid was completed..
Jororororo…
Snowfall put some of the liquid boiled in the huge pot into a very small glass bottle and packed it in her belongings..
‘The antidote is finished, and this solution will have to remain like this for a while.….’
Now that the process of making the antidote has been completed, all that remains is to deal with the black flower..
Snowfall took out something called a black flower rather than a shadow flower..
[shadow flower]
Grade: Rare
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
A flower that grows naturally in Flegeria, but is difficult to see even if you wander around your whole life unless you are lucky..
Special Ability: Only once, you can forcibly use Shadow Summon on an opponent with a gap. At this time, the summoner's level is considered to have increased by 10, but if the level gap with the opponent is not narrowed to 10 or less even if the shadow flower is used, the shadow summoning fails..
“There is no problem if you use it like this.….”
Snowfall looked at the flower for a moment and then planted it in the vegetable garden of the outbuilding..
Then he took some powder out of his pocket and sprinkled it on top..
“grow well.”
Snowfall got up and rested in the annex..
And exactly the next day, at the same time.
Snowfall came out to the garden and was amazed to see flowers that had grown to the height of a child..
“So far so good.”
The powder sprinkled on the flowers yesterday was a reward obtained from Griz's laboratory..
[Perfect Vitality Powder]
Grade: Treasure
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
Special ability: Powder that boosts vitality. However, be careful as it can grow excessively..
- As expected, it’s full vitality powder! I'm sure it performs well.!
- Is it okay for it to get this big? thief
Snowfall plucked the large shadow flower.
[overgrown shadow flower]
Grade: Rare
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
A flower that grows naturally in Flegeria, but is difficult to see even if you wander around your whole life unless you are lucky..
Special Ability: Only once, you can forcibly use Shadow Summon on an opponent with a gap. At this time, the summoner's level is considered to have increased by 15, but if the level gap with the opponent is not narrowed to 15 or less even if the shadow flower is used, the shadow summoning fails..
The contents of Shadow Flower changed overnight.
Originally, I could have been satisfied with this, but now I had obtained other materials through the madness merchant. Moreover, the materials collected so far were sufficient to proceed with the next process..
Snowfall didn't come out of the kitchen for two days..
[The dish is ready.]
[The jelly that smells like a gutter is ready..]
[It looks terrible. Cooking failed.]
[I don't think this is the way to go.]
[inspiration awakens.]
[Recipes seem to come to mind when I encounter new ingredients..]
[My cooking skills are a bit poor..]
Kang Seol took a bite of jelly and immediately covered her mouth..
“Whoop….”
- This is not it…
- You are now looking at a work that symbolizes hell..
[The dish is ready.]
[Seriously burnt jelly is complete..]
[It looks terrible. Cooking failed.]
“Again?”
- What's surprising is that this recipe doesn't use fire..
- Then why did you get on it? lol
- Is it cooking or alchemy? lol
Snowfall took another bite of the jelly this time..
The taste was so terrible that I was nauseous the moment I ate it..
“Ugh….”
[Achieve the achievement ‘I’d rather eat dirt’.]
[Obtain the title “Geek”.]
The title of Geek Eater had no other options, only the option of being able to increase abilities even by eating a failed dish..
Of course, even that is appreciated now..
“I see the end today.”
Kang Seol was sweating and engrossed in cooking..
Even though the cooking process was not that complicated, there was no other reason why it failed..
It just means that the level of the finished product is high..
Kang Seol forgot to sleep and continued making jelly. Her eyes became blurry and she dozed off. Nevertheless, his hands did not stop moving and touching something..
- Stop now, let's sleep.…
- How about giving up? You don't seem to have any talent for cooking…
- Surprisingly, it is a talent that I chose along with insight ㅠㅠ
Snowfall was about to run out of ingredients..
‘Is this the end now??’
‘'It's a waste of madness.' Or, 'I would rather receive a different reward.' I had the same thought, but what can I do? Most of everything in the world is consequential.
If you succeed, you did well; if you fail, you did not do well..
As Kang Seol moved his hands while thinking such things, he felt a strange feeling..
Unlike before, all tasks took no effort at all and my hands moved before I even thought..
Snowfall took this as a signal.
Instead of going against the flow, I devoted myself to creating something as if I was giving my body..
So some time passed.
“under… at las….”
[The dish is ready.]
[Cloudy day jelly is complete.]
[It smells good. The dish was a success.]
[Mental strength permanently increases by 3.]
[inspiration awakens.]
[Recipes seem to come to mind when I encounter new ingredients..]
[My cooking skills are a bit poor..]
It was the moment when Snowfall’s efforts were rewarded..
