God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 159

103. Change Station (1)

[Congratulations! You have arrived at the change station!]

[The first human player to reach the ‘station’.]

[You will receive 4 distributable stats as a reward.]

With a pretty sweet hidden piece.

Sihyeon was able to arrive at the change station.

Woohoo!

With the sound of something spinning.

This place looked like something out of a science fiction novel.

There were several subway trains running around here and there.

Some of the buildings were as high as 20 stories.

A literally developed city.

It was the result of the dwarves’ concentrated skills.

‘Oh Young-il, should I have called Oh In-su here and had them learn? Well… … If the dwarves have the Stonemen, we have the Spartoi.’

As you wander through the maze, you can obtain blueprints containing dwarven technology.

There was nothing to regret right now.

“master.”

Dakon, who was next to Sihyeon, secretly grabbed the dagger made of darkness.

“okay.”

Sihyeon, who was looking around, also raised the Cheonjongun Sword.

“You’re here.”

***

The stone people surround Shihyeon and his party in a circle, holding their spears up.

Judging by the skin made of iron, he must have been a Bronze rank officer.

‘Bronze… … .’

Sihyeon, who saw the guys, leisurely placed the Cheonjongun Sword on his shoulder.

Station.

It was created by dwarves, and all of the stone people in charge of this place were ‘service personnel’.

It was an artificial life form with skin made of earth and bones made of stone.

But they all had the same hard skin made of clay.

The ‘bones’ made of minerals were different for each individual, and the ‘rank’ of the stone workers varied depending on what the mineral was.

Bronze, Bronze.

Silver.

Gold, Gold.

Platinum.

Diamond.

Only the most outstanding of the diamond-made earthen beings could become the ‘station master’, in charge of everything at a station.

There were even rumors that some of the stationmasters had bones made of ‘something else’ other than the five ores mentioned above.

‘If you’re the stationmaster of a huge station like Change Station, you could easily do that.’

Of course, it was rare for a big shot like a stationmaster to meet a human player in person.

‘There are a few conditions. You have to build up a great reputation before you can go see the stationmaster.’

Shh.

‘You just have to be the fastest among all human players to enter the station.’

Of course, there are differences depending on the station master.

Most of the stationmasters were full of curiosity about humans.

Especially if you’re a guy like Cosio, the stationmaster of ‘Change Station’, who likes to wander around and meddle in things.

There was no way I could refuse to see a ‘human’ like Sihyeon.

“Loyalty!”

“Loyalty!”

just as expected.

Someone in uniform appeared, accompanied by numerous salutes.

At the center of it all was a stone man with the face of a middle-aged man, who was shorter than the other stone men.

The author was the stationmaster here, ‘Cosio’.

“Nice to meet you, human.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Oh… … You speak our language?”

“Yes.”

Looking at an opponent whose height barely reached my waist.

Sihyeon smiled faintly.

‘You can’t underestimate something just because it’s small.’

Among the Stone People, the higher the class, the shorter the height.

The reason was simple.

That way, they would be closer to the appearance of their creators, the dwarves.

“This is my first time seeing a human… … It’s really amazing. To think that such a crude body could contain such power.”

Cosio looked around Sihyeon as if he was curious.

“It seems like they are closer to a devil or an angel than a human… … Are all humans like that?”

From a human standpoint, it might feel uncomfortable to look around and press on the skin.

Sihyeon waited for the other person as if it didn’t matter.

‘Because intimacy with the stone people is important.’

The stone people give you various sub-quests depending on your intimacy or fame, and when you complete the quests, you get many good rewards.

‘Unlike the dwarves who have a hard time getting quests.’

From Sihyeon’s perspective, there was absolutely no need to clear the maze ‘quickly’.

It was effective to clear all the sub-quests that could be cleared here and sweep up the rewards.

Of course, there was also the option of going around the station and raiding the treasure troves of the stone people.

Considering the strength of the stone people, even if it was a miracle, this would not have been an easy task.

‘And if there’s one bronze-class stone person… …then that’s roughly equivalent to a ranker within the top 1,000 in Korea.’

“good.”

Cosio smiled as if he was satisfied after looking at Sihyeon’s items here and there.

“But I have a few questions. First of all, why are there high elves and humans together?”

“This is my colleague.”

“Comrades… … That’s an unusual combination. Elves don’t like humans very much, you know. And one more thing. According to our information network, you passed through the Iron Maze and came down to the Train Maze just eight hours ago. How did you manage to get to this change station in eight hours?”

Not only Cosio.

The other stone people’s eyes were also sparkling with pure curiosity.

These artificial life forms resemble dwarves in some ways, except that they have a strict hierarchy.

He had a characteristic of not being able to control his ‘curiosity’ well.

“It’s a trade secret.”

“ah…….”

“Ahem… … .”

“I think it’s thanks to that ring that you can talk to us?”

“That’s a trade secret too.”

Because I didn’t have to tell them this information, I didn’t have to fight with the stone people.

Sihyeon just smiled.

“Yeah… … Right. Yes. That could be possible. Kirisu.”

“Yes! Diamond Station Staff Ki. Lee. Su!”

“Please issue me a pass.”

“all right.”

Two passes were required.

-Don’t you have a pass?

-… … Back then, I came in secretly and stole the treasure.

-The other meaning is great.

[You obtain the item, ‘Station Pass (E)’.]

[Station Pass (E)]

#A pass that can be used in the Maze’s B1F and Train Maze. The higher the level of the pass, the more places you can go.

Material Items

Effect

By completing the quests of the Stone People, you will be promoted to a higher rank.

While receiving the bronze key and checking the information.

Earlier, Cosio informed us of the situation.

“There’s nothing to be careful about… … Nothing in particular. Just be careful of the occasional dwarves going from here to somewhere else.”

Sihyeon nodded.

‘You probably won’t meet any dwarves here in the first place.’

Dwarves are a race that basically stays in one place and makes items.

Since they were basically guys with a craftsman spirit, they didn’t often go outside.

Even the problem of procuring materials was solved by creating an artificial life form called the Toseokin.

Once the guys got into a task, you could guess how long they would last.

“Then I’ll wait until we see each other again.”

So Cosio turned around and went back to his office.

Chuck… … Chuck!

The other stone people also put aside their guard and went off to find work to do.

At the station entrance, only Sihyeon and Dacon were left.

“what…….”

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“Shall we eat first?”

***

“no, I do not want.”

“Oh, really? I didn’t know my family was vegetarian. Why don’t you try it once?”

“I only eat fruits and vegetables.”

“If you don’t like it, then don’t eat it. It’s just delicious.”

I swallowed the steak I was eating for the first time in a long time in one bite.

Sihyeon chuckled.

“Whether human or elf, they need to eat meat in some way to gain strength.”

“Have you ever heard of a meat-eating elf?”

“Why? You know, Youngwoo.”

“that…….”

Dacon, who was about to refute, quickly closed his mouth.

‘Come to think of it, Eloah… … No, Seo Young-woo ate meat very well too.’

Looking at that, it was highly likely that the information that elves get hives and wrinkles all over their bodies when they eat meat was also false information spread by Wisdombeard.

Wow wow.

Watching Mehen, a silver snake silently sucking meat from the side.

Dacon also swallowed dry saliva.

“Then, just one bite… … .”

“Try. Try.”

Let’s chew on a piece of meat that Si-Hyeon personally handed to us.

“Ugh… … !”

Dacon covered his mouth as if he was going to say something.

But that was only for a moment.

‘Oh, it’s delicious… … .’

Juiciness and texture you’ve never felt before in vegetables, greens, or fruits.

For Dakkon, who had spent most of his life eating only vegetables and not fruits, it was a whole new world.

Ugh, ugh, ugh… … .

“Eat slowly. No one will take it away from you.”

“Zeunnum. Can you give me some juice?”

“What is he saying now?”

-One more plate!

“aha.”

Sihyeon, who was smiling, raised her hand and called the stone worker.

“The meat menu here. How many points in total?”

“The total is 100 points.”

“Please give me everything.”

Thanks to purchasing Bazra with an ‘S-Grade Item Exchange Ticket (S)’.

For Sihyeon, it was a situation where points were overflowing.

‘There’s nothing you can’t do in Train Maze if you have the points.’

At least I didn’t want to miss out on the amenities because I didn’t have enough points.

Sihyeon was using everything at its best.

The room I was staying in temporarily had 5 rooms and 3 bathrooms.

I was also drinking coffee made from the highest quality beans.

Even if you use it like this, the points consumed per day are only about 50.

There was no burden.

“You really do have a lot of points. When I came here, I didn’t have any, so I slept on the street.”

“You came in secretly and that’s why, Inma.”

“… … That’s true.”

“Get some rest today.”

Sihyeon, holding Gasal in her arms, smiled and fiddled with the ‘Station Pass (E)’ she had just gotten.

“Let’s run hard starting tomorrow.”

***

“haha…….”

Iron Maze.

Lava zone.

Here, a sub-quest was in progress once again.

‘Mr. Sihyeon told me that I must do the lava lake quest even if I don’t know about anything else.’

There was no problem.

As Sihyeon told me, I went around the Iron Maze and collected materials.

With that material, they built a ship that could withstand lava.

Because with the magic and power that Cheon Yuri possessed, gathering 50 people was no easy task.

Everything went smoothly.

Magma Drake?

Those guys weren’t a problem either.

The situation where Sihyeon has already eliminated all the magma drakes.

Now, there were no other creatures in the lava lake besides the magma fish.

Even a magma fish can be blocked by the cold air that Cheon Yuri possesses.

There was no need for the recently awakened dragon’s power.

Until just 10 minutes ago.

Everything went smoothly.

[Time left until sub-quest ends: 21 minutes.]

There are only 21 minutes left until the sub-quest ends.

at that time.

“Damn humans… … Yeah. The First Elder said that if it were you, you’d go after the rewards here.”

Whoosh whoosh.

One side of the lava lake split in half.

Someone was walking on the lava.

“I will kill them all.”

Kwaaaaang!

Her power was tremendous.

‘That’s… … ?’

Cheon Yuri, looking straight ahead, swallowed dry saliva.

Long ears and red, blazing eyes.

A being that controls Ignis, the superior spirit of fire.

It was a high elf.

Ugh.

“Kill all those wicked people who have returned to Greenland!”

At Ramia’s cry.

The red elves around her created a ring of fire and attacked the human players.

“Kwaaah!”

“Stop it!”

Everything was going smoothly when there were only magma fish.

But with the elves’ offensive continuing, it was literally hell.

They are red elves who use the power of fire anyway.

In this place filled with heat, of all places, it was several times stronger than usual.

‘Oh, no!’

At that sight, Cheon Yuri gritted her teeth and spread out both hands.

[Skill, ‘Ice Flower (S)’ is activated.]

Sarrurur!

Because people were getting hurt.

It wasn’t a situation where one could consider the pros and cons.

“How could an elf… … .”

“Stupid human. Hehe… … . Yes. I survived to get revenge on you. From that damned Nature Bomb skill.”

Taking a leisurely walk out of the heat and lava.

An elf had her voluminous, curly hair flowing.

“I, Elder Ramia, am with you, elves!”

She is the only high elf who was lucky enough to survive the Sihyeon and Naturebomb.

In recognition of his achievements, he is now receiving new powers from Wisdombeard.

High elves who are now ‘elders’.

It was ‘Ramia’.

“Don’t back down!”

Behind Ramia, who spreads her arms.

Ignis, in the form of a giant falcon, spread his wings.
