God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 160
103. Change Station (2)
Train station.
There was no day or night here, as the sun did not shine.
Moreover, the Stone People are artificial life forms that do not eat or sleep like the Spartans.
Because the guys could move with power as long as they had ‘minerals’.
There was no distinction between day and night.
“master.”
“Umm… … .”
“Master, it is morning.”
Pulling back the blackout curtains.
Dacon woke up Sihyeon.
“Has so much time passed already?”
“Yes. The lights stay on, but time passes. It is now 7:00 AM.”
“Yeah. Did you sleep well? How was your family?”
“Yes. I slept well. And the stool is… …on top of the master’s head.”
“Gurrrr… … (I want to sleep a little longer…)”
“Cute guy.”
Sihyeon got up from the bed, smiling.
“Wake him up too.”
“Yes. Let’s go… Let’s go?”
“Gurrrr… … .”
Sihyeon left Dakon, who was shaking the bed to wake him up, and went out to the living room.
Pfft!
With Sihyeon’s words.
A huge screen that was hard to capture at a glance appeared in the living room.
[Item, possession of ‘Station Pass (E)’ has been confirmed.]
[Welcome, King of Fallen, Lee Si-Hyeon. Please select the function you want.]
[Meal]
[Drink]
… …
[Quest List]
This feature was created by the Stone People in partnership with the system.
It was so sophisticated that there was really ‘nothing you couldn’t do’ as long as you had a station pass and points.
First, I ordered a few cups of iced Americano.
Sihyeon sat leisurely on the sofa and touched [Quest List].
[Go to quest list.]
[Caution! Only one quest can be completed at a time.]
[Here is a list of quests that can be completed with the ‘Station Pass (E)’ you currently have.]
[Touch to see details]
[Touch to see details]
… … .
A huge list of quests has been revealed.
Before returning, Sihyeon had already cleared the same quest here.
I knew in what order and how to clear them most efficiently.
“Master, the servant woke me up.”
“good job.”
Dacon, holding the sack in his arms, came next to Sihyeon and sat down carefully.
“There are no written rewards for sub-quests. However, there are some that can give you crazy rewards for doing the same or easier tasks. Doing these tasks will also increase your reputation significantly, allowing you to upgrade your station pass quickly.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“Yes. You can do things that the ‘stone people’ can’t do.”
“ah……!”
Dacon nodded.
The list of sub-quests was varied.
It was obvious that they would like it if they could handle tasks that the stone people could not do.
‘Just because he’s a stone man doesn’t mean he’s omnipotent.’
Sihyeon continued speaking to Dakkon, who was so impressed.
“If you meet all these conditions and it’s difficult, it’ll be the icing on the cake. You too, touch the quest over there and accept it.”
“Okay, master.”
[You have obtained the sub-quest, .]
Goal: Clean the trains managed by ‘Change Station’.
Reward: Immediate promotion to Station Pass.
Additional Reward: ???
If you fail: Your station pass reputation will decrease.
Sub-quest, .
There was no visible, tangible reward.
‘But it’s worth it.’
To upgrade the ‘Station Pass (E)’ to D-grade, you must first complete 10 sub-quests.
However, if you complete the quest , you will be promoted immediately.
Considering that there are no proper rewards among the sub-quests that can be completed with the ‘Station Pass (E)’.
This was quick and efficient.
‘Of course, it’s a quest that would normally take a long time to complete, with around 14 sub-quests, let alone 10.’
Shh.
“It would be different if this guy was here.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth as she received the sword from Dacon.
“Kkurung? (Me?)”
***
Kugugu… … Kugu… … Kugu… … .
With the sounds you hear in any subway.
Sihyeon boarded the train at Change Station with Dacon.
The quest for is literally ‘cleaning’.
It was done when the dwarves, who could be seen as the only passengers, were not on board.
“Then please take care of it.”
“yes.”
After entering the train, guided by a stone man of the bronze class.
Sihyeon placed the Cheonjongun Sword on her shoulder.
“Master, do you need that sword to clean?”
“just in case.”
“What do you mean, ‘I don’t know’… ?”
“Ssaaaaaaaaa!”
At that moment, Dacon was tilting his head.
Something was creeping out from every corner of the giant train.
“That?”
Dacon’s eyes widened when he saw that.
“Iron Snake?”
Iron Snake.
It was a ‘mining tool’ that the dwarves had made before the stone age.
“But these demons aren’t supposed to be able to enter the subway.”
Dacon knew Iron Snake.
Since I went down to the third basement level, I encountered those guys quite often.
“It’s different when the train is stopped. They come up like this sometimes.”
“Weren’t the Stone People supposed to be taking care of those guys?”
“That’s right. But it’s a tricky issue for them.”
“It’s ambiguous?”
“You know that the Bronze Class Earthenmen are strong, right? But they’re the only ones who can’t do anything to those Iron Snakes.”
Dacon nodded at those words.
The Bronze class earthen people were certainly strong enough to be ranked within the top 1,000 in Korea.
Only when standing in front of Iron Snake, he was unable to exert his power.
The reason was simple.
Iron Snake.
It was because of the poison those guys had.
“The venom of the Iron Snake has no effect on living creatures such as humans, but it has the effect of rapidly corroding soil and minerals.”
“It’s literally true.”
As mentioned before, Iron Snake is an artificial life form created by the dwarves for ‘mining’ purposes.
They are beings created to quickly corrode the soil and melt useless minerals, so that only the ‘desired minerals’ can be obtained.
As such, it was very compatible with the earthen and mineral people.
‘If there are ten or so Iron Snakes, then it’s okay. If more than that come rushing in, even the most powerful Earthen beings will be helpless.’
But someone had to clean the subway.
The bronze caste stone people were at a loss as to what to do.
Of course, if the Silver Class Stonemen come forward, they will be able to sweep away the Iron Snakes with their unique strength.
Since that class had to assist the dwarves and maintain the train parts, there weren’t many of them.
“If the Silver class steps forward, there won’t be enough manpower. If the Bronze class steps forward, they’ll have to risk their lives. That’s why.”
Sihyeon put down the sack she was holding.
“I think it’s perfect to leave it to humans.”
“that…….”
“Well. It’s understandable that the dwarves’ greed created that ‘powerful leader’, so it’s out of control.”
Shh.
“Please. Go live.”
“Kurum! (I’ll help you especially this time!)”
Gasal walked forward with a limp.
“Ah, aah, aah!”
The iron snakes saw the scorpion and rushed at it.
Kkwaduk!
And the moment their fangs touched Gasal’s skin.
Kaang!
There was a sound of metal clashing with metal, and their fangs broke off.
“Love liquid?”
“Drinking liquid!”
“Gurrung! (Don’t be a rascal!)”
Soon, Gasal swung his nose.
Paaaaak!
There was a sound like something was exploding.
The iron snakes burst out one by one.
Wow.
And Gasal was eating that iron snake so naturally.
[Pet, ‘Gasal’ kills Iron Snake.]
[You earn 22 points.]
[Experience points… … .]
… … .
“and…….”
Dakkon let out pure admiration when he saw that sight.
‘I thought it was just a pet.’
The Iron Snake wasn’t just powerful against the Earthen.
Their bodies were made of high-quality iron and were so strong that they wouldn’t even be scratched by a sharp object.
The movement was so fast that it was difficult to follow with the eyes.
Is that all?
The poison they spewed would often melt the weapons and armor the player had.
Because most weapons and armor were made of minerals.
‘It took me and the other high elves, who were quite strong, 20 minutes to take down one of them. As the number of them increased, the processing time increased exponentially. So in the end, we ran away as soon as we encountered them.’
Dacon swallowed dry saliva.
‘But what about that pet… … .’
It is impossible to kill Italy.
A god who eats iron.
Although Dakkon didn’t know it, at least enemies related to iron or minerals couldn’t inflict any damage on Gasal.
No, rather, things made of it were just good prey for the savage.
“let’s go.”
In that way, Sihyeon and Dakkon were able to sweep away the Iron Snake just by walking still.
The already big eater, Gasal, continued to eat the iron snakes.
***
[I can’t believe it! I just cleaned one of the trains at Change Station completely.]
[You gain additional reputation points for ‘Perfect Cleaning’.]
Kkwadduk!
As soon as I ate the last Iron Snake.
The message resonated.
“Ku …
And then, before anyone knew it, the giant cat, now as big as an elephant, came running towards Sihyeon.
It was thanks to the characteristic of the Bulgasari that the more iron they ate, the bigger their body grew.
“Hey! Come back and throw up!”
“Gurrung… … (How rough…….)”
It may seem harsh, but from Si-hyeon’s perspective, there was nothing he could do.
If you get crushed by that big thing, you could have a pretty hard time.
Rumble, rumble.
Soon something poured out of Gasal’s mouth.
“This?”
Even to Dacon, who was ignorant of minerals, it was iron of the highest quality.
“of course.”
Open the kibisis and take those irons.
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
“Gasal is a god. The iron digested from his body must be of the highest quality.”
Because Sihyeon did not corrupt Gasal.
Although it was a very small amount, there was a tremendous amount of divine power flowing through this iron.
“no way…….”
“Yes. The Stone People are crazy about high-quality minerals, especially iron, which is the material for the ‘Iron Train.’”
“You’re thinking of selling this, aren’t you?”
“Leave some of it. Oh Young-il and Oh In-soo like this kind of material.”
Not just ‘cleaning’ the Iron Snake.
Dacon shook his head as he watched Sihyeon thinking about reselling it.
‘It’s terrible. It’s terrible.’
“What is that attitude?”
“Oh, no, master.”
“Gurrrr… … .”
Sihyeon turned her head, hugging the sack that had shrunk again.
“The quest can be cleared by cleaning just one train. But that doesn’t mean you can just take the reward. Come on, Dakkon. It’s time to earn your keep.”
“Hey, what about the meal?”
“I will give you a mission.”
Sihyeon laughed as she moved to another train.
“You go and search the trains that Iron Snake is particularly good at and ask me for information. The trains that aren’t running will have all their lights turned off, so they’ll be easy to identify.”
“… … .”
The number of trains passing through the change station is 32.
Just checking and looking at each of these was incredibly tiring.
In particular, aren’t these trams that dwarves ride so huge that they’re on a different level from those used by humans?
“all right.”
But Dacon is a member of Sihyeon’s clan.
I couldn’t refuse his orders.
“Okay. Okay then.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
“Let’s do some cleaning.”
So Dacon asks for information and lures Iron Snake.
While Gasal is enjoying the Iron Snake.
Sihyeon was just sitting there with his arms folded under the pretext of managing and supervising.
But I had no intention of just sitting there blankly.
‘In this Train Maze run by the Stone People, there are items that are not sold in the system shop.’
Sihyeon muttered as she looked through the store list one by one.
Among them, there were many items that could be used not only in the Train Maze on the first basement floor, but also in the next maze.
[I can’t believe it! I just cleaned one of the trains at Change Station completely.]
[You gain additional reputation points for ‘Perfect Cleaning’.]
‘good.’
And I finished all the cleaning faster than expected.
Sihyeon took a step forward.
“let’s go.”
