Episode 56

“The young master has deposited 1.3 billion won in cash.”

“1.3 billion.”

“Yes. He said it was the amount for the matter you entrusted to him previously…”

At the secretary’s words, Choi Seung-hyun.

The owner of Manwol opened his eyes wide as if surprised.

“He already sold that off?”

It had been barely a day since he entrusted Choi Hyun-min with selling the adamantium.

And he had already handled it?

Chairman Choi turned his head while remaining seated, looking at his secretary.

From across the room, the secretary answered with an ambiguous expression.

“Well… He said he would buy the materials you gave him directly, and asked me to tell you that.”

“Choi Hyun-min did?”

“That’s correct.”

What does this mean?

So…

He didn’t sell the entrusted adamantium to another guild…

But bought it directly himself?

And it was Choi Hyun-min?

“Where would that kid get such money?”

“I don’t know that much either…”

For a guild, 1.3 billion won isn’t an unmanageable amount.

But for an individual, it’s definitely not a small sum.

Moreover, isn’t Choi Hyun-min not even a Hunter?

Even searching thoroughly, there’s no source for such money.

“Has the guild ever given or lent that kid money?”

“No. I first searched through all records to see if the young master had ever received amounts in the hundreds of millions or more… There were none.”

“…”

At the secretary’s answer, Chairman Choi was left speechless.

It wasn’t provided by the guild.

Nor had Chairman Choi ever given Choi Hyun-min such a large sum.

Which means.

‘That kid earned such a fortune himself.’

By what miraculous means?

Choi Seung-hyun half-closed his eyes and thought about something.

“So. What does he plan to do with what he received?”

“I didn’t hear the exact details, but… he said something like he would use it himself.”

Use it himself.

He doesn’t have the ability to refine it.

Even if he turned it into weapons or useful items.

He’s not even a Hunter?

‘What is this kid thinking?’

At that moment.

Something flashed through Chairman Choi’s mind.

‘…Could it be. Has this kid already secured the manpower to process materials and even sales connections?’

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.

The adamantium obtained from the raid.

While it was certainly precious material, without processing.

It would be no different from a lump of clay.

“Are you listening?”

Chairman Choi, who had been thinking for a while.

When he finally spoke after long deliberation, the secretary standing across from him was startled.

“Yes, yes! Please speak!”

“From now on, you need to find out if there are other guilds making contact with Choi Hyun-min, that kid. Start with that.”

“Other guilds…”

“Whether it’s our side or Phoenix Union, all of them. Investigate and report on every guild that approaches him.”

The secretary stood dumbfounded at the sudden order.

“Understood?”

At the pressing follow-up question, the secretary nodded with a blank expression.

“Ah, understood. I’ll follow your orders…”

“Make sure you can report within a short time.”

Something was strange.

Choi Seung-hyun.

Even he, the owner of this guild and Choi Hyun-min’s father.

Couldn’t grasp at all how the current situation was unfolding.

What that kid was up to.

Of course, Choi Hyun-min’s rapidly improving abilities were certainly a good thing.

‘If some bastard comes crawling like a bug, trying to tempt that kid… That would be grounds for immediate execution.’

If bugs swarm around a flower.

Shouldn’t they be crushed to death?

Then as the owner of Manwol.

No, before that, as Choi Hyun-min’s father.

He would step in directly.

That’s what he thought.

***

“Let’s see… The materials themselves aren’t particularly hard to obtain?”

Choi Hyun-min repeatedly read the stealth potion recipe he received from Heukpung.

He counted the materials one by one on his fingers.

“Orc tusks, lowest-grade magic stones… These are just things lying around everywhere, aren’t they?”

When he briefly searched through his subspace, various small items he hadn’t disposed of before.

Among them, materials he could use came tumbling out.

“This should be enough to make one?”

The crafting method wasn’t particularly difficult either.

Just throw all the materials into a large pot and boil them.

The only difficult part was precisely matching things like temperature and timing.

-Master, are you making new food?

Meanwhile, the Musket Soldiers gathered around with interest.

They thought he was preparing new food for them and licked their lips.

“That’s not it… I just want to try making something new.”

-Making?

Ah, right.

Come to think of it, he had the cottage industry crafting skill.

What would happen if he made the stealth potion with that skill?

Choi Hyun-min pondered briefly.

He immediately activated the [Cottage Industry] skill.

[Please place the items needed for skill activation.]

[Crafting results and quantity will be determined by the input materials and the creature’s proficiency.]

Then the familiar iron plate appeared before his eyes.

“Let’s see… Do I just place the materials on top like last time?”

First, one.

This too… add one more.

Calmly, one by one.

Choi Hyun-min placed the ingredients according to the recipe.

Once all the ingredients were placed, a slightly different notification appeared than before.

[A recipe you already know exists.]

[Would you like to craft the item according to the recipe?]

Oh, does the system even check if you have the recipe?

Choi Hyun-min nodded with a curious expression.

“Begin.”

[Activating Cottage Industry.]

[Personnel available at current level: 1 person]

Then one of the Musketeers lying far away approached.

-Master, I’m not confident.

“You’re the one making it this time?”

-Hans ordered it. If I fail… I don’t know.

“It’s fine, so just try it.”

Is anyone randomly assigned to crafting like last time?

Though the guy spoke anxiously, knowing the result didn’t matter at all.

Choi Hyun-min entrusted the crafting to him without hesitation.

Then the Musketeer dusted off his palms as if clapping.

And began mixing the ingredients on the Iron Plate.

[Time remaining until completion: 2 minutes 15 seconds]

The time doesn’t take very long.

Will this be okay?

Well, the ingredients aren’t that expensive either.

I entrusted it to the guys since I already had successful experience.

But the crafting method and time became completely different from the recipe.

‘I wonder if some completely wrong item will come out.’

While quietly observing the guy mixing the ingredients.

[Time reduction possible]

[Lord Points consumed: Free]

[Times under 5 minutes can be reduced for free.]

Right, there was this function.

Choi Hyun-min carefully used the time reduction function.

Then light burst from the placed ingredients.

Thud.

A small potion bottle fell on top of it.

It looked just like an unmarked plastic PET bottle.

The liquid inside was also colorless and completely transparent.

‘At least… it seems like something similar was made.’

Just as he thought that and was about to pick up the bottle.

Thud.

“Huh?”

Another bottle newly appeared beside it.

It was exactly the same shape as the potion just made.

“What is this. Like a one plus one deal?”

I’m sure I put in ingredients for one portion.

Just as he was pondering that.

Thududududududuk!

“Uwaaaah!”

Potion bottles poured down from above.

At first there was one.

Then they poured down like rain from empty air.

[Great success with Cottage Industry.]

[The crafted result increases by 30 times.]

What, what did it say?!

What does this mean now?

As he looked up at the air with bewildered eyes-

Smack!

The last potion bottle falling from the air.

That heavy object fell right onto Choi Hyun-min’s head.

“Ugh!”

More than that, what is this exactly?

Clearly the ingredients input were also one portion.

The first result created was also one?

‘Is this like winning the lottery…’

What the system told him was great success.

It seemed to be part of a luck system that even Choi Hyun-min didn’t know about.

“Lucky me.”

If I had known this would happen, I should have made something more amazing first.

Choi Hyun-min muttered to himself.

-Master, is this for eating?

-He made lots for us to eat!

-That looks more like just water than something to eat?

“Ah, no, you can’t eat it. Leave it alone.”

He waved his hand at the Block Toys that swarmed around him.

They just drool and rush over whenever there’s anything that looks like food.

Choi Hyun-min hurriedly stopped the guys.

And picked up one small bottle.

Slosh.

‘So this is… a stealth potion, right?’

From the outside it just looks like a PET bottle with water.

An object that looks similar to a 500ml water bottle.

Choi Hyun-min tried using his appraisal skill on it.

[Stealth Potion of Another Dimension]

[Condition: Supreme Grade]

[A potion that can make the user’s body enter stealth state.]

[While in use, completely eliminates presence, sound, smell, etc.]

[Duration: 1 hour]

“Huh…?”

At least if it’s true to its name, it seems to be a stealth potion.

But something’s different.

The recipe that Heukpung sent.

The name and abilities written there had changed somehow.

‘Strange. The recipe Heukpung sent clearly just called it a stealth potion.’

The name has the modifier [of Another Dimension] attached.

If that was all, it would be something to just overlook.

But what was really strange was in the line below.

[Warning: Even when using the stealth potion, absolutely! The sounds or smells generated by the user cannot be hidden, so use with caution!]

In the recipe Im Ye-seo handed over.

At the very bottom, there was a warning written in red letters.

That under no circumstances could anything other than appearance be hidden.

But….

‘The item I made is different?’

The stealth potion he had made himself.

Unlike the recipe, it said that everything could be hidden.

“Which one is telling the truth?”

The system doesn’t lie.

That said, he didn’t think the recipe would be wrong either.

Following their instructions had indeed resulted in a stealth potion being created.

Then….

“I guess I have no choice but to try it myself?”

Choi Hyun-min hesitated for a moment.

He picked up the stealth potion bottle as written in the recipe.

Then from the top of his head downward.

He poured it all over himself.

Splash splash splash.

Then came the transparent liquid pouring from top to bottom.

It flowed down without any resistance, just like ordinary water.

‘Huh? I don’t feel anything at all?’

Surely if it were ordinary liquid, he should feel his body getting wet.

While the liquid reached all the way to his toes, he felt nothing at all.

“That’s strange. Did I make it wrong?”

It does have an effect, right?

Choi Hyun-min tilted his head in confusion.

He was about to pick up another potion bottle from the floor when he stopped.

He froze his hand at the screaming sounds the Block Toys were making.

-Aaaahhhhh!

-Master, Master has disappeared!

-Master! Master, where on earth did you go?

-You guys ate too much soup every day, so Master ran away!!!

Wait a minute….

This really seems to have an effect?
