I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 276

Heavenly Cat Trade Guild (2)

The planet we arrived at was incredibly beautiful.

A magnificent natural environment that you’d only see in sci-fi movies spread out before us, looking so cozy and comfortable that you could sleep anywhere.

“Phew.”

To think the day would come when I’d actually visit an alien planet.

Baek Jin-woo sat on a massive rock and summoned his creatures for a serious discussion.

About how to survive here from now on.

How to transcend.

How to escape from this place later.

“Still, I survived thanks to Mayeo.”

– Hehehe!

Without Mayeo, there might have been no answer…

But thanks to that guy, I got an opportunity.

A chance to become completely self-reliant in this place.

While we were talking, one of the Myo Clan approached.

It was a cute creature with fluffy white fur like a munchkin cat.

– Ahem, have you been waiting?

That cat is actually at the Gyemun level.

It has power equal to Melseryong.

– Owner of Mayeo. What should I call you?

“You can call me Baek Jin-woo.”

– Alright, Baek Jin-woo. Nice to meet you. My name is Seolmyo.

A snow flower cat?

It was quite a fitting name.

– Follow me. First, I’ll explain what the Heavenly Cat Trade Guild does.

Walking along a forest path, we came to a considerably large building.

– Come inside this way.

“Yes.”

I entered the building’s interior.

High ceilings and a spacious hall caught my eye.

Massive displays floated here and there, and a couple of Myo Clan members were sitting around.

Even though they saw Baek Jin-woo enter, they silently continued their work.

‘Fascinating.’

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes lit up.

Whatever the case, he was a rookie in this universe.

It was better to learn everything he could.

What he knew would eventually become power later.

– First, the Heavenly Cat Trade Guild consists of a total of 10 teams, and this is one of them, the Myo Monthly Team.

“…Myo Monthly Team.”

– Our Myo Monthly Team is composed of five Myo Clan members, four at Gyemun level. Our team leader is at Jeongrib level.

“Is Jeongrib the next stage after Gyemun?”

– You really are a complete beginner who knows nothing. That’s right. After passing through the ten stages of Gyemun, you can ascend to Jeongrib. Just listen to the rest of the explanation first.

Seolmyo continued speaking.

– Our Heavenly Cat Trade Guild does whatever it takes to generate profit for Myo Shin-gung. We measure performance every time and receive bonuses when we achieve high results. First, since you know nothing, I’ll explain this to you.

Swoosh.

The creature pulled out something.

It was a small, mysteriously shaped orb.

– We call this a Sinhaekkeu. You could say it’s a crystallized form of energy that emerges from the deepcore.

Oh.

Deepcore!

Are you talking about that energy that raises your realm just by existing?

– Transcendents can absorb this to strengthen their own laws. Right now, 100 Sinhaekkeu contain enough tremendous energy to transcend even the plants or stones here. In our universe, we trade treasures through this and make profits.

“It’s like the currency of the universe.”

– You could see it that way.

The universe was simple.

To become strong, you didn’t need enlightenment or anything like that.

With just overwhelming power, you could strengthen your own laws and crush your opponents.

– In the universe, there are countless ways to obtain Sinhaekkeu. However, there’s an equal chance of having them stolen. And here, take this box.

“A box?”

– Consider yourself lucky. This is a gift bestowed by the Myo Wang.

Clunk!

When the box opened, neatly stacked Sinhaekkeu were visible.

– 100 Sinhaekkeu. You must feed these to Mayeo.

Seolmyo, who had been explaining, left due to someone’s urgent call, and Baek Jin-woo looked at the brilliantly glowing Sinhaekkeu.

“Mayeo.”

– Meow!

“Eat them.”

– No way, meow! Master should absorb them, meow!

“No. Somehow I feel like you need to transcend to survive easily in this place.”

The Myo Wang was right.

Mayeo’s sorcery was truly omnipotent.

Without Mayeo, we wouldn’t have won the previous battle with Earth.

Even now, that guy’s power was desperately needed.

– That’s not what I mean, meow! If Master’s power grows stronger, we summoned creatures will naturally become stronger too, meow!

– That’s correct, Master.

Hunkyo, who appeared beside them, also nodded.

– If Master consumes them first and pours that power entirely into Mayeo, it will be the same result in the end.

“Really? No, still, Mayeo should eat them.”

Baek Jin-woo was firm.

“The Myo Wang is the hegemon of this area. He must be a great senior of the universe. Nothing good will come from not following his words.”

It was practically the same anyway.

If Mayeo became stronger, it meant Baek Jin-woo would become stronger too.

– Sigh, understood, meow! If Master says so, there’s no choice, meow!

Swoosh.

Mayeo took them and coolly dumped them all into his mouth.

And that was the moment.

[Your summoned creature possesses power above a certain level.]

[The Transcendent Management System begins intervention.]

Oh.

It was exactly the same as before.

That system I saw when I first left the universe!

[Judgment result.]

[Suitable for immediate approval as a Transcendent.]

“Wow.”

Mayeo was different from Baek Jin-woo.

It seemed like he was immediately promoted to transcendent status without something like an Observer Council.

Could that be the power of Sinhaekkeu?

The feeling hit me perfectly.

‘Whoever controls those Sinhaekkeu will dominate this universe.’

Build power with the Sinhaekkeu to create influence.

Use that influence to control the Deepcore.

And use that Deepcore to extract more Sinhaekkeu.

By repeating this process, one could become the ruler of this region.

[Proceeding with formal transcendent registration process.]

[Transcendent: Mayeo]

[Universal independence is acknowledged.]

[Planetary power is no longer required to exist in the universe.]

[However, Mayeo exists under Baek Jin-woo’s law ‘Transcendent Lord.’]

The Akashic Records began analyzing Mayeo.

After that.

[Mayeo’s law is being generated.]

[Law: ‘Omnipotence’]

[Mayeo can accomplish anything through witch’s sorcery.]

“Huh.”

Mayeo was also a beginner transcendent.

And accordingly.

[You ascend to the realm of Initial Entry 2-Star Minor Ascension.]

Baek Jin-woo also made progress.

‘I knew this would happen.’

When summoned creatures become stronger?

It’s the same as him becoming stronger.

Whether it was Melseryong or Myo Wang.

There was a reason why Baek Jin-woo was called overpowered.

‘I…’

The more summoned creatures I command, the stronger I become.

The more I expand my influence, the stronger I become, and unlike other transcendents, I can possess various laws.

‘Certainly worth Myo Wang’s wariness.’

If someone like me expands their influence?

Myo Shin-gung could be threatened.

‘But.’

Baek Jin-woo is someone who knows gratitude.

Even if it was because of Mayeo, they provided this territory and even gave up precious Sinhaekkeu.

‘For now, let me do my best as a member of Myo Shin-gung.’

And if I really grow later, I’ll definitely repay them.

How much time had passed like that?

– Did you wait long? There was a problem with the betting process, so I was late checking on it. You finished the Sinhaekkeu quickly?

“Yes. I fed it to Mayeo.”

– I see, so that’s how it is. A beginner transcendent of the Myo Clan. Welcome, Mayeo. I am Seolmyo.

– Nice to meet you, nya!

– Good. Now I’ll gradually teach you the work, so follow me.

Seolmyo guided Baek Jin-woo to a deep room.

The room was packed with holograms, and data was flowing everywhere.

– This is our Myo Monthly Team’s private operations room. To properly live in the universe, you need to earn Sinhaekkeu, so I’ll explain how we generate profits first.

Seolmyo pointed to the screen.

Various graphs and transaction lists were displayed there.

Seolmyo pointed to them and explained each one.

– There are several ways to earn Sinhaekkeu in the universe. Broadly speaking, they’re divided into five methods.

First?

Trade.

This is the most basic method.

It involves obtaining rare resources and reselling them at higher prices, or making profits through intermediaries.

Minerals, herbs, and treasures that enhance abilities found only on specific planets are the main trading targets.

– For example, abyssal stones obtainable on Planet A trade for 15 Sinhaekkeu, but on Planet C, they’re desperate to buy them for 20 Sinhaekkeu. You can make big profits using this. Of course, you must consider risks too. While trading, you might encounter vagrants drifting in the Black Sea and get robbed of everything. However, our Myo Shin-gung has secret passages for movement, so we trade more safely than other forces. We have quite a reputation in this universe.

“…I see.”

Second?

Betting.

The universe is so vast with many strong beings that there are various transcendents.

Among them are those who feel great boredom and hold games of sorts.

Fights between similar transcendents, or various leagues.

It’s a method of earning money by betting on these and using odds.

– If you can analyze transcendents’ strength and strategies well, you can try this route. But this is almost gambling, and the fees are high, so usually people die from the fees.

Third?

Hoarding!

– It’s a method of buying large quantities of specific Deepcore resources or items and waiting until prices rise. However, without information networks, you might suffer losses.

Fourth?

The well-known Deepcore mining!

This is a right that only Myo Wang can enjoy in Myo Shin-gung.

– Deepcores vary by type, but our Myo Shin-gung’s Deepcore produces about 1,000 per month as I understand it.

“…That’s all it produces?”

– That’s all? A naturally generated power of that level without any effort is a tremendous merit in this universe. Depending on the Deepcore, there are places that produce over 100,000 per month, but such places are still difficult for our Myo Shin-gung to control with our current power.

Crazy.

100,000 is way too big a difference?

Just how massive is the scale of this universe?

The last fifth?

War.

A method of killing other transcendent forces and absorbing their corpses.

Melseryong eating those three snakes was probably that method.

“What should I start with?”

– Don’t talk nonsense. There’s nothing for you to do.

“Excuse me?”

– To do anything, I’d have to give you our team’s Sinhaekkeu, but do you think our team leader would permit that? Our Myo Monthly Team will soon tally up results.

“What rank are we currently in the results tally?”

– Ahem.

Seolmyo cleared his throat.

– 7th place.

“…7th place? Didn’t you say there are 10 teams?”

– We just had bad luck this month. That’s why the team leader is more sensitive too. If we drop below 8th place, we have to pay penalty fees.

“…”

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes narrowed.

‘It seems like.’

I joined a team that’s not doing well?

No wonder the atmosphere has been tense since earlier.

– For now, you just need to watch from the side and see how I earn Sinhaekkeu. A game just opened in a nearby territory.

Beep beep beep!

A sound came from the hologram.

Seolmyo quickly pressed it, and Baek Jin-woo watched the process with an interested expression.
