When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 111

111. National Treasure Level Sap

First, Oh Hyeon-seong handed over all the loan sharks who were lying around to the management office.

Illegal loan sharking was basically subject to severe punishment, and since he even committed forgery using magical powers, he would be locked up in prison for a long time.

But simply capturing these guys wasn’t going to solve the problem.

If you tie it up carelessly, it will only bring more people here.

In order to prevent unnecessary conflict from occurring in the village, it had to be completely uprooted.

– … senior?

“Oh, Jisoo. I told you to ask me anything at any time, right? I just happened to have one.”

Oh Hyun-seong contacted Baek Ji-su.

After hearing his brief explanation, she readily accepted his request, and the National Security Agency stepped in.

It’s not just about arresting and imprisoning a few loan sharks, it’s about completely destroying the organization they belong to.

They were an entity that could not resist ordinary debt collectors, and could make one or two large loan companies disappear without a trace.

It was also Oh Hyeon-seong’s will to not leave even the slightest possibility for any element that could threaten the village, and the entire organization was blown away, with even the names and records being completely erased.

It was only natural that the debt owed to the siblings also disappeared.

For the Yu siblings, who had always felt burdened by debt, this was like a dream, but at the moment, there was something more important.

“…”

A quiet hospital lobby.

Eunha Yoo, who was standing there hesitantly, glanced at me.

Oh Hyeon-seong’s side profile was seen, deep in thought.

‘I had no idea. My brother was a former hunter.’

Of course, when I first saw him, I thought he was an Awakened person based on his impression.

As someone who is a fan of the hunter industry, she was able to quickly understand the hunter image that was being talked about, and her overall proportions and appearance were similar to those of hunters who often appear in the media.

But after hearing the answer that it was no, I never even doubted it while we were together.

Besides, even if I had suspected it, there would have been no chance of me thinking it would be on this scale.

Although I had a feeling that his network was suspiciously wide, I never imagined that he, whose face was completely unknown, would be the senior of the famous hunters Han Su-yeon and Baek Ji-soo.

Not as a relationship between a regular employee and a hunter, but as a direct superior and subordinate who belonged to the same secret unit.

Who would have thought that such a person would settle in a remote village like Changyeong-ri?

“I’ll go to the car for a bit.”

“Ah… yeah.”

Oh Hyun-seong checked his phone, spoke to her, and left the lobby.

‘It seems like he was really surprised, but we both had secrets.’

On his way to the large hospital in Seoul, he learned more about the siblings’ circumstances.

The siblings’ parents were both workers in the ‘processing unit’.

Many people used to focus only on the gates, the monsters, and the hunters who fought against them.

But where monsters have swept through, someone is bound to stay behind to deal with them.

The processing team was the department responsible for cleaning up the aftermath of the eruption at the gate.

Although they were divided into local government and private sector teams, they were generally grouped together and called a processing team on site.

When a city is damaged by monsters, they step in and clean up the debris, and even neutralize the toxic fumes from the corpses.

Control of the scene is only regained after the hunters have withdrawn, not after all the monsters have been subdued.

Although they were essential to the maintenance of the current society, the one problem was the risk of their work.

Even if we leave aside all the secondary risks, such as the possibility of encountering an unknown number of monsters, there was the huge problem of a normal person being exposed to the takki.

Of course, we wear protective gear to protect ourselves from the fumes, but it’s not a perfect solution, and things can go wrong at any time if we’re unlucky.

Even if it wasn’t as strong as inside the gate, the monster’s corpse would emit a strong turbid air.

In fact, in cases like this, it would be safer to deploy an awakened being with high resistance to turbidity.

But the city’s finances could not afford to pay such high wages to the Awakened for the cleanup and rebuilding work.

If you put Hunters with superior physical abilities into a construction site, they will show outstanding efficiency, but it seems like there are no Awakened people to be found at the current construction site.

If the apartments were built by hunters one by one, the price would increase tenfold based on wages alone.

Anyway, in the current social system that is structured like that.

The parents of the Yu siblings became the victims of misfortune.

‘It’s a rare heart disease caused by toxic gases. If they collapsed at the same time at the same site, it must have been an unexpected acute exposure.’

Basically, diseases caused by turbidity do not have a long history.

Because there isn’t much accumulated data, a lot of research is still being done, and finding the answer isn’t easy.

Since we are chasing a variable called ‘Takgi’ that has never existed on Earth before, it is bound to be difficult.

‘If you’re a hunter, you can endure to some extent even when you’re sick, thanks to your physical endurance and stamina, and you can even try to improve. However, that’s not the case for ordinary people.’

When the turbidity exceeds the standard, it eats away at the human body and weakens it.

Even high-ranking hunters would inevitably have their bodies completely ruined if they were out in the field for long periods of time, and this was even more true for non-Awakened hunters.

Due to the extremely weakened immune system, other complications would pop up here and there.

If an unawakened person suffers long-term damage due to the turbid energy, it is virtually the end.

Especially when it comes to heart problems, it’s amazing that you’ve held out this long.

CLANG!

Oh Hyun-seong opened the trunk of his car as he headed to the hospital parking lot.

There was a box full of apples of a delicious color.

Crunchy!

“If the problem could be solved by neutralizing the turbidity, it would be simple.”

Oh Hyun-seong muttered while chewing an apple.

All the foods grown in his fields have the effect of lowering the concentration of toxic gases in the body.

However, if you are already sick, the disease will not go away even if you remove the toxic air that is the cause.

It is useless as a general crop.

Turup.

Oh Hyun-seong covered the road with a box of apples.

That’s why I had to use a slightly different method.

“… are you here?”

He got down from the trunk he had been sitting on and laughed, then finished eating the apple and shook his hands.

A white car stopped in front of him and an employee got out of the driver’s seat.

The man who hurriedly stood in front of Oh Hyeon-seong handed him a pack that looked like an IV pack.

“Here, here is the item the representative asked me to deliver.”

“Thank you. Please tell this to Jeong-il too. I’m sure he’ll like it.”

“Yes? Oh, I understand.”

The employee nodded and took the box of apples.

As the white vehicle disappeared, Oh Hyun-seong stared at the pack in his hand and headed to the hospital.

He took the elevator without going through the lobby, went up to the upper floor, and stood in front of the pristine white isolation room where the siblings’ parents were.

“Oh, you’re here.”

A doctor wearing a white gown was standing there, as if he had been waiting.

Looking inside through the glass window, both of the siblings’ parents were lying unconscious in the hospital bed.

He had a very haggard appearance, with pale, dull skin and sunken cheeks, to the point where you wondered if it was okay for him to be like this.

“It’s worse than I heard.”

“Ordinary people like us can’t do anything about it. To be honest, all we can do is provide life-prolonging treatment.”

“Here it is.”

“Ah… This is what you were talking about…”

The doctor handed Oh Hyeon-seong a pack.

A pack containing a cloudy liquid that even he, a professor at a university hospital, had never seen before.

Even if the hospital had handed him something like this out of the blue, there was no way the doctor would have allowed him to take this medication, but Oh Hyun-seong had already discussed it with the hospital through another window without him having to step forward.

“Then let’s get started right away.”

The doctor entered the room, and Oh Hyeon-seong headed back to the lobby where his siblings were waiting.

The die has been cast, now all that remains is to wait.

*

A few hours later,

The siblings and Oh Hyeon-seong went upstairs together at the call for their guardian.

But for some reason, I ended up standing in front of a hospital room that was different from the one my parents were originally hospitalized in.

And that too in a general ward, not an isolation ward.

“Wow, you’re cured?”

“Yes, the detailed examination results after regaining consciousness showed that he was completely normal. His senses also fully recovered within a few hours.”

“That… That can’t be…”

“This is truly a miracle. It is the first case of a patient with this disease being cured.”

A rare disease from which no patient has ever been cured.

It was such a troublesome disease that even the Awakened were never cured, and only extended their lives or died, but this is the first case of a cure.

The siblings who had been listening to the story kicked open the door and went inside.

“Huh, Galaxy?”

“Uh… Mom and Dad!”

Not only did he regain consciousness, but he was also able to stand on his own two feet, albeit leaning on his arms.

Eunha Yoo ran to her parents, sobbing, and hugged them tightly, shedding tears.

“I never thought it would turn out like this… I dared to do this…”

Yoo Seung-soo stood blankly in front of the open door, closing his eyes.

Any hope of a complete cure was practically given up a long time ago.

Even imagining it made me miserable, so I erased it from my mind and thought about nothing else but making money.

But the moment when something miraculous actually happened.

“Tongue… bro…”

“Let’s do that later and go quickly.”

Oh Hyun-seong shrugged his shoulders and said.

Then, Seungsu Yoo swallowed what he was about to say and ran to his parents.

A moving reunion for your family.

Oh Hyun-seong, standing outside the hospital room, smiled brightly.

The doctor standing next to me opened his mouth.

“To be honest, I didn’t like the idea of ​​using an external drug that I didn’t even know what it was. But it has this effect… What on earth did you use?”

Even the highest grade elixir, a consumable artifact, could not achieve this effect.

Putting aside the astronomical price tag that ordinary people would never even dream of, it was only very effective for external injuries and had no significant effect on diseases.

Just witnessing this sight now made me feel like I had experienced a tremendous transformation as a medical professional.

“Could it be a prototype of a new drug that was developed in secret?”

“No. It’s more like… vegetable juice.”

“Huh? Fruits and vegetables?”

An artificial solution made by mixing several crops of unique grade or higher.

It was created with the help of Choi Jeong-il, who has his own research group, and the ingredients used were combined to have effects such as temporary physical strength enhancement, increased immunity, and treatment of heart disease.

This was my first time actually using it so I wasn’t sure, but seeing it completely cured made me feel a lot more at ease.

He also felt relieved.

“I’m joking. Of course, it’s a new drug that hasn’t been announced yet.”

“Haha… Well, I guess so.”

“If this new drug is released into the world safely without any problems… many things will happen, right?”

“Yes, it would help countless people. It would save tens, if not millions, of lives.”

At his words, Oh Hyeon-seong nodded silently.

And then he suddenly turned his back.

“Well, anyway. For now, let’s give the family some cozy time.”
