The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

 

Episode 37

 

Older Brother also seemed to be in a good mood, relaxing drowsily and becoming like a well-cooked agar octopus floating around in the pot.

 

“Come out on your own. If you stay in there and get cooked, I won’t care.”

 

Chae Heon looked at me and Older Brother who had become all soft and mushy, spoke curtly, then left.

 

“I think I’d melt rather than cook.”

 

Though I wouldn’t know since I’ve never melted before.

 

“Ah, this is nice.”

 

I soaked my body in the warm water and squinted my eyes.

 

Good.

 

It’s warm and drowsy and so nice.

 

Is it okay for me alone to enjoy something like this?

 

I feel guilty.

 

My comrades are doing extreme training, washing with cold water in winter.

 

While I was feeling sorry thinking about Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won, my thoughts reached a certain item.

 

That item the Scavengers had been treasuring.

 

With a round body and a handle attached to it…

 

None other than an alien gun!

 

No, that’s not it.

 

It was definitely the item ‘Energy Injector’…

 

The Energy Injector is a repair item that appears in 【Sparkle Sparkle! Planet Mon!】.

 

It doesn’t fix broken things, but rather uses alien energy to forcibly make them operational.

 

But why were the Scavengers treasuring an item that only aliens can use?

 

Just like how Chae Heon couldn’t fly even if he stole my spaceship, alien civilization items can only be used by aliens.

 

‘Hmm.’

 

I tilted my head.

 

‘I don’t know.’

 

Maybe they just thought it looked quite valuable.

 

More than that, I’m getting a good idea…

 

For now, I soaked my body in the water Chae Heon had diligently prepared, and used Older Brother like a shower towel to scrub myself squeaky clean. Older Brother scrubbed my back where I couldn’t reach.

 

After washing my whole body in the warm water and even wiping Older Brother’s bald head, I became a squeaky clean jelly and heaved myself out of the pot.

 

Then I wrapped a towel around my body and bounced outside.

 

Brrr-

 

‘Cold!’

 

As I tightly gripped the wet towel, the cold seeped in.

 

“Clothes. I need warm clothes…”

 

Older Brother, perched on my head, hugged me tightly to keep me warm.

 

After patting Older Brother, I opened my survival handbook and stared at the coins. I’m earning them steadily, so wouldn’t it be okay to spend some?

 

The reason I was hesitating wasn’t anything else.

 

The market sells ‘skins’.

 

Not just human skin, but proper clothes that aliens can wear!

 

When I opened the market, the familiar window appeared.

 

I pressed on skins without hesitation.

 

Human skin still occupied the most expensive spot at the very end.

 

[Human Skin: 1,000,000cc]

 

[Cosmic Coin Holdings: 3,170cc]

 

It had gone up a little since the green onions sold in the meantime.

 

Still…

 

‘Let me spend just a little…’

 

Thinking I had to save up a million coins made me naturally humble.

 

I moved the scroll to the cheapest section.

 

‘This is it.’

 

* * *

 

Wearing a hoodie and fur slippers, I walked toddle-toddle- no, waddle-waddle.

 

After going around naked, wearing something feels a bit uncomfortable.

 

‘But it’s warm. And it doesn’t make bouncing sounds when I walk.’

 

I toddled along to show off my little outfit to Chae Heon. Just then, Chae Heon, who was coming out to the daecheongmaru, spotted me.

 

“Chae Heon, Chae Heon. How do I look?”

 

“What’s that? Puppy clothes?”

 

“The puppy clothes suit you well, Jelly-nim.”

 

Those mean guys disparaged my clothes.

 

I made my eyes triangular and clenched my fists. Once I buy human skin someday, they won’t be able to say things like that.

 

Still fuming, I pulled up my hood and left the daecheongmaru.

 

“Where are you going?”

 

“The warehouse!”

 

Looking around the dust-filled warehouse, I tilted my head in front of a drum barrel.

 

‘This should work, right?’

 

While I was struggling to roll the drum barrel, Older Brother jumped down from my head and fixed his gaze somewhere.

 

Meanwhile, I rolled the drum barrel and brought it outside. In the courtyard, Captain Gong Ju Won and Chae Heon were hovering around.

 

They must have been curious about what I was doing.

 

I tapped the drum barrel and asked the two of them.

 

“This looks similar to a water heater, right?”

 

“Does it?”

 

“Not at all.”

 

I ignored what the two said.

 

“I’ll try making it into a water heater.”

 

‘Decoration!’

 

When I opened ‘Decoration’ while thinking of a water heater, examples appeared below.

 

It was in the form of a drum barrel with a faucet and hose attached, and the more elaborate the drum barrel pattern, the more coins it used.

 

‘Patterns are a luxury.’

 

I chose the most basic option. Still, it cost 500cc.

 

‘Can’t help it… This isn’t just decorating the appearance.’

 

‘Decoration’ might seem like a simple ability to decorate items, but strictly speaking, it’s the power to ‘redesign’.

 

With roughly similar materials, I could make any machine from Earth civilization.

 

This was possible because even the most complex machines were incredibly simple objects in alien civilization.

 

Until now, I hadn’t used it for anything other than plant supports because there was no energy source, but now I can inject an energy source, right?

 

I smiled like a demon and held the Energy Injector that looked like an alien gun in my hand.

 

Normally this would be impossible, but with this…

 

Beep!

 

The Energy Injector made a cute sound and shot a beam at the drum barrel.

 

Then crackling sounds of electricity flowing came from the drum barrel.

 

“Now, watch carefully.”

 

I connected the hose to the courtyard faucet and turned the drum barrel’s faucet. Soon, warm water with rising steam began flowing out.

 

“Touch it.”

 

“Wow… it’s really warm…”

 

Captain Gong Ju Won, who touched the water, opened his eyes wide.

 

At that reaction, I boasted.

 

“Now take a shower with warm water.”

 

“How on earth did you do this?”

 

“There are alien techniques that Earthlings don’t know about.”

 

“Wow…! Amazing!”

 

“More, more! It’s okay to praise me!”

 

“You’re incredible! You’re a Jelly god!”

 

Ahahaha! I spun around excitedly. It’s great being an alien, I’m happy getting praised~

 

“They’re having fun.”

 

Chae Heon tried to dampen the mood as usual, but he couldn’t calm my excited heart.

 

He was probably letting it slide because I made the hot spring for them in the morning.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

[You have resolved the concerns of an Earth native species and gained favorability.]

 

[Reward]

 

-Cosmic Coins +5,000

 

Huh?!

 

Is this that thing?

 

Solving an NPC’s (AI character in games) problems and getting rewards?

 

【Sparkle Sparkle! Planetmon!】 also had a system like other games where you listen to NPCs’ concerns and receive rewards.

 

But I thought I couldn’t get such rewards since there are no NPCs here…

 

So does that mean Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won are treated as NPCs by the system?

 

In other words, it means these two people have become somewhat important figures in my worldview.

 

But the reward is quite generous, isn’t it?

 

My eyes sparkled.

 

What on earth was the concern? Something like ‘It’s cold and I don’t want to wash with cold water’?

 

I opened my survival notebook to check.

 

>Chae Heon’s Concerns

 

-Jelly doesn’t wash (Complete)

 

So that was the concern!
