The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 78

* * *

This time, there were two rewards from the Millennium Carp.

One was a windfall of money.

And the other one was….

[Lucky Pond Seed]

-When planted, a Lucky Pond (probability distortion zone) will be created.

-In the Lucky Pond, you can do ‘Lucky Fishing’ once. ‘Lucky Fishing’ randomly produces S-rank rewards.

This was what I obtained after purifying Yeonjam.

As soon as the sun rose, I hurriedly got up and found a spot next to the farm.

Ppyangppyangppyangppyang.

This was a place I had thought about since last night. If I put the pond here, the Space Spirits could drink water and it would be nice.

Pat pat pat!

As I dug the soft soil with my hands, the Space Spirits and Mimic Jelly gathered around to see what I was doing.

I dug a hole about the size of my fist, then planted the Lucky Pond seed.

As soon as I put the seed in the hole, a small puddle formed.

I watched the water fill the pit and then dug more of the surrounding soil.

Pat pat pat!

The Space Spirits saw this and followed my example.

Pat pat pat!

They were small creatures, but with 11 of them helping, a decent pit was quickly dug.

“Thank you.”

I expressed my gratitude to them and shot purification at them. The potato-like Space Spirits giggled and ran around.

Meanwhile, the puddle had somehow expanded to about the size of the base of a large old tree.

Splash.

The water rippled gently.

“…?”

I tilted my head in confusion.

I thought I saw something flash in the water just now.

That’s when it happened.

Pop!

A small bubble rose up and burst.

At the same time, a window appeared before my eyes.

[Lucky Pond has been created.]

-Lucky Fishing available (1/1)

“…Oh.”

I looked down at the pond.

Even at this size, fishing is possible?

I thought for a moment and then brought a fishing rod.

The Space Spirits looked at me with expectant eyes.

Hehe, I smiled at them and cast my fishing rod over the pond.

How much time had passed like that?

“….”

Hmm.

“Dam A, what are you doing?”

“Fishing!”

“Ah, so cute….”

Older Sister Bora approached with shuffling steps.

“….”

“….”

What’s this? Why isn’t it working?

“What are you doing there?”

This time it was Chae Heon.

“Fishing!”

Chae Heon stood behind me as if to show off.

“….”

“….”

“….”

Nothing’s biting?

“Little one?”

The next batter was Older Brother Jae Hee.

“Fishing!”

When I answered blindly, Older Brother Jae Hee also came to watch.

“….”

“….”

“….”

“….”

Should I put on the frog outfit again?

But I think I hear footsteps going dadadadak! so I don’t think I can wear it….

“It should be time for something to bite soon.”

When I muttered, the three of them exchanged glances with each other.

Why are they acting like that?

It felt like they were pushing each other to speak first, so I opened my mouth first.

“…But why is everyone watching?”

Chae Heon sighed and said.

“Fishing, you see. You do it where there are fish.”

…? Even for me, this was a bit shocking.

“Do you think I wouldn’t know that?”

Older Sister Bora and Older Brother Jae Hee gasped.

They must have thought I was doing this because I didn’t know. So that’s why they were exchanging glances about who should speak first.

“….”

I scrunched up my face.

Older Sister Bora waved her hand.

“Ah, no…. I just thought our Dam hadn’t tried fishing before, so….”

“…That’s too much.”

As I sulked, Older Brother who was sitting on my head patted me with his tentacles.

Then, Wuparupa who was sitting on my shoulder jumped into the pond.

Instantly, a golden light swirled around the pond.

“Oh?”

Splash.

Ripples spread out in circles.

A brief silence passed.

And then, tug.

The fishing rod shook slightly.

Tug.

Tug tug.

I opened my eyes wide.

Something bit!

I quickly pulled up the fishing rod.

Splash!

Something shot up into the air with a small spray of water.

“Look! I caught one!”

I shouted excitedly.

Plop!

It was a palm-sized sea bream.

Its scales glittered with a golden light.

[Golden Sea Bream (S)]

The sea bream flapped around for a moment, then soon made its eyes into X shapes and vomited something from its mouth.

Something dropped onto my hand with a thud.

“…?”

I looked down at my palm.

There lay a silver capsule about the size of a fingernail.

“…!”

My eyes sparkled.

[Interstellar Supply Capsule]

Randomly contains human skin, coins, duds, etc.

* * *

A black Porsche stopped on the deserted Han River bridge shoulder.

Baek Ho Ryeong got out of the car and leaned against the door.

He glanced toward Yongsan, which was covered in black mist, then irritably tapped the asphalt with the tip of his walker.

Baek Ho Ryeong.

One of only three S-ranks in Korea, and the undisputed number one ranker.

The man who could make him come and go so easily with just one phone call was running toward him from over there.

Shane Heart in running attire spotted Baek Ho Ryeong and lightly slowed his pace, then stopped in front of him. With a face that wasn’t breathless at all, he smiled cheerfully.

“Guild Master Baek Ho Ryeong. How long has it been? Are preparations for the Xion hunt going well?”

Baek Ho Ryeong looked at the blonde man and let out a hollow laugh.

“If the CEO had just released those vending machine items you’re hoarding to the market, it wouldn’t be so disgusting.”

“Ahaha!”

Shane laughed and said.

“I also have a great interest in the Contaminated Area, you see.”

“I’m sure you do. Is there anyone these days who isn’t interested in that place?”

With the appearance of vending machines and the gradual disappearance of notable Xions, the Contaminated Area was rapidly emerging as the hottest place.

That wasn’t all. In the industry Baek Ho Ryeong was part of, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were at war over vending machine items.

Therefore, Shane, who was sweeping up vending machine items with his massive wealth, couldn’t help but look detestable.

“So, what’s this information you want to buy?”

Shane smiled and leaned slightly against the bridge railing.

“I heard you encountered Yellow Hazmat Suit during this reconnaissance.”

“…There must be a rat in the guild. You’re well-informed.”

“I’m sorry if that was unpleasant. I’m good at picking up rumors that float around.”

“Hmm….”

So this was why Shane had called him here, unusually offering to give up vending machine items.

“Where did you meet them?”

“The western area. It was such an absurd story that I made sure to keep everyone’s mouths shut tight.”

Baek Ho Ryeong hesitated, touching the corner of his mouth.

Then Shane smiled and waved his hand.

“What story between us could be unbelievable? I’ll give you double what I promised.”

Then Baek Ho Ryeong spoke without hesitation.

“There’s an entire city intact in the west.”

“A city? Do anomalous phenomena appear on such a large scale?”

The largest anomalous phenomenon observed at present was Yupark in Yongsan.

But an entire city?

“That’s why I said it was an absurd story.”

Baek Ho Ryeong frowned. As if he didn’t want to believe such a terrible thing existed.

“Is it a Xion’s territory?”

“…Who knows.”

“Then what was Yellow Hazmat Suit doing there?”

Baek Ho Ryeong crossed his arms and kept his mouth shut for a moment.

Wind swept across the Han River.

In the distance, the Contaminated Area submerged in black mist rippled as if writhing.

“That’s the really disturbing part.”

He paused for a moment before speaking.

“They were apparently dumping civilians there without any contamination equipment.”
