The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 79

Even after my speech, which was like a declaration of war, ended, no one easily opened their mouth.

Jinseong senior, Nara unni, Donguk oppa, Hyeongtaek-ssi, and even Sohee-ssi.

They were all staring at me blankly as if they had made a promise. In their eyes was a kind of reverence that went beyond shock.

And rightfully so – just knowing the information of 55 gates like the back of one’s hand would be amazing enough, but to say I’d create a ‘poison’ that could instantly end the Predator Gates called humanity’s disaster.

If I were in their position, it would be hard to believe easily. I’d probably think someone was playing a prank by suddenly calling me at this hour.

“You might find it hard to believe, but I think it’s a viable strategy.”

Jinseong senior spoke with difficulty.

“…So Yebichnna, you’re saying you’ll use that healing skill in reverse?”

I thought I had explained it in detail, but the concept of directly striking the boss’s mana circuit itself would be beyond common sense for them.

I nodded and calmly added a supplementary explanation.

“Yes, the ‘Wave of Recovery’ skill that awakened Donguk oppa is a power that regenerates mana circuits. If I proliferate it to the critical point, the circuit will burst from overload. Adding the properties of the reversal mirror fragment, the proliferated skill will burn the circuit in reverse.”

“Well, Predator Gates suck up any mana indiscriminately, so they might suck up poisoned mana too.”

Donguk oppa quietly nodded while stroking his chin.

“That’s right. If I combine an item imbued with the skill with my condensed mana and detonate it inside the gate, it will be transmitted directly to the boss.”

“To think of such a thing… As expected, Master is beyond genius…”

“As expected of my little sister. Nothing could be cooler than this.”

Theoretically, it was perfect. But a small anxiety remained in one corner of my heart.

“But… this is only a theory that came from my head. I’ve never used it directly, so it hasn’t been verified. That’s why I called you all. To share information and ask for a favor.”

I asked carefully with a somewhat deflated feeling.

“By any chance… it’s a prototype that hasn’t been perfectly verified, but could you S-ranks use it first? I know it’s a dangerous request, but…”

As soon as my words ended, Hyeongtaek slammed the table and smiled brightly.

“Noona! Why are you asking such a thing? It’s noona’s item, so of course I should be the first to use it! I’ll try it. Give it to me.”

At Hyeongtaek’s boldness, Nara unni chuckled and joined in.

“That’s right, Yebichnna. Why are you calling such a thing a request?”

“But if by any chance the item doesn’t work as expected…”

“Four S-ranks have gathered, what gate couldn’t we clear? If your item doesn’t work, we’ll just smash it with our own skills. So don’t worry and give us that glorious prototype first.”

Donguk oppa, who had been listening silently beside us, also nodded reliably.

“Yebichnna, that skill saved my circuit. They say medicine and poison are separated by a thin line, so it will definitely be effective.”

Seeing their confident gazes made my nose tingle.

To think there are people who believe in me this much. I took a deep breath and answered.

“Alright. Then please give me just one more day until I complete the prototype. And please delay gate entries nationwide as much as possible until I can establish a mass production system.”

“That’s no problem. I’ll personally contact the association and each guild to coordinate.”

I felt relieved at Jinseong senior’s reliable answer.

But there was one more problem to solve.

“I have one more request. This item needs to be made for throwing to multiply its effectiveness, so I need a large quantity of throwing glass orbs with trajectory skills. They’re not commonly used so there are few on the market, and I’m worried that buying them all at once might draw public attention.”

“Hmm, that’s definitely a problem.”

Nara unni and Jinseong senior nodded.

Sangseong Guild’s distribution network could obtain them in a day, but that would risk sharing this top-secret plan with outsiders.

Then, Sohee-ssi, who had been quietly sitting in the corner with her hands folded, suddenly raised her hand.

“Those orbs are all in my personal warehouse.”

“What? Over 50 of them?”

When everyone looked at her in surprise, Sohee-ssi smiled bashfully as if embarrassed.

“I’m a bit… I tend to hoard unusual things first. I’ll have someone deliver them to the store. We’ll only need to get a small amount separately for what’s lacking.”

Like the best enchanter, she solved the problem instantly.

Once the material problem was resolved, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

“When they announced it was a Predator Gate, honestly I thought half of Korea would be blown away.”

“Exactly. I was seriously considering whether to immigrate to a country without gates.”

“This time it’s also thanks to Yebichnna?”

My face burned at the continuous praise.

Seeing Nara unni’s eyes even welling up with tears, I waved my hands dismissively.

“I haven’t succeeded yet, so please save the praise for later. I really need to start working now, so please take care of the tasks I asked you all to handle!”

As I was about to head straight to the workbench, Sohee-ssi gently grabbed my sleeve and asked.

“Um… Master, could I possibly help you with the crafting from the side? If I won’t be in the way.”

An enchanter as excellent as Sohee-ssi would be tremendously helpful with material refining and mana mixing.

“Then I’d be truly grateful! I can trust and rely on you, Sohee-ssi.”

When my permission was granted, Sohee-ssi was overjoyed as if she had gained the whole world and bragged to everyone.

“Did you hear? This body has now been chosen by Master Yebichnna! You’re all dying of envy, right?”

The serious atmosphere was gone, and everyone playfully applauded Sohee-ssi.

I was so embarrassed that I hung my head low when suddenly an alarm popped up that Nara unni had transferred a large amount of coins to my status window.

“Unni, what’s this? It’s too large an amount.”

“I added advance payment to the sales revenue. Originally it wouldn’t go out for another two months, but it’s urgent, right? You’ll need a lot of money when making items, so I’m giving you the advance payment too. The oil you made is a huge hit within our guild, and if we sell it to other guilds we’ll make several times more, and all I have is money.”

Nara unni winked cheerfully.

“Yebichnna, I’ll properly show the item’s effects on site, so you work hard with Sohee!”

With Donguk oppa’s reliable encouragement as the last word, everyone left the store for their respective missions.

Now only Sohee-ssi with sparkling eyes remained by my side. We immediately began our all-night work.

At the same time, cold rain was pouring from the sky.

Alice stood alone in front of thousands of tombstones under a black umbrella.

Her rain-soaked skirt hem and mud-splattered shoes showed how long she had been staying here.

Alice caressed her sister’s tombstone with trembling hands.

Even after waiting for a long time, no one came.

Despite today being her sister’s death anniversary, neither Gangjinseong nor Seondonguk, who had shared life and death with her sister, appeared.

Alice bit her pale blue lips and looked down at the puddle at her feet.

Her face reflected in the puddle looked like her sister’s face.

‘Sister, why isn’t anyone coming?’

Alice whispered to herself in the puddle.

‘Is it because those bastards who abandoned sister in that hell-like gate are too scared to come? The story about sister voluntarily sacrificing herself is all lies, right? I know everything.’

Alice’s eyes gleamed with madness.

She turned around and walked into the rain, muttering quietly.

“Don’t worry, sister. I’ll get revenge for you. I’ll make those bastards pay dearly for forgetting sister.”
