116. Delicious Snacks

There are various relics in the world.

Beings who are made up entirely of otherworldly materials and who go against the rules of this world in some way.

Other than that, each relic had its own unique appearance and effect, making it difficult to define them.

Some come in the form of weapons, some in the form of drinkable potions, and some in the form of old bowls or jars.

There are relics that can save a dying person, and there are relics that can harm a person just by coming near them.

However, each relic had a set output that it could produce to achieve its effect, and its class could be determined through that.

The ‘grade’ of the relics was what started to be classified.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th grade, etc.

The power of the relic was usually classified into a numerical grade.

Even relics with the same type of effect could produce completely different results depending on the output.

For example, if a level 4 artifact could cause mild visual confusion to a single living creature upon direct contact.

A first-class artifact was the difference that could cause hundreds of people within range to experience the same symptoms of mass hallucination.

The greater the power of the relic, the wider the range of power it can use to go against the laws of the world.

In particular, relics with unparalleled output that cannot be compared to first-class relics were classified as ‘national treasures.’

However, even within the national treasures, there are bound to be different levels.

Whoosh!

“Phew, I had a hard time trying to move too much at once.”

Oh Hyun-seong muttered, shaking his hands.

When he returned to the field, there was a pile of swords at his feet that he had thrown away.

A whopping 101 great swords.

To be exact, there was one original and 100 copies.

‘I’ve seen many relics so far, but this one is still ridiculous.’

Oh Hyun-seong took the cube out of his arms and looked at it.

It looked unusual when I saw it at Seoul Station, but at the time I thought it was because it had combined with nuclear weapons and was going wild.

But now that I look at it, it just seems like the relic itself was of a higher class.

Since it was a relic of that level in the first place, it may have had an absurd accident that only existed in theory, such as combining it with a gate core.

‘Anyway, now that it’s in my hands, I just have to use it well.’

He put the cube back in his bosom.

Then he lifted up the cloned greatswords.

grasp!

Oh Hyeon-seong began walking around his field, planting a large sword at regular intervals.

Compared to the cabbage patch with the original Theranos stuck in the middle, other places showed relatively fewer high-grade items such as epic or unique.

This was especially true the further we got from the edge.

It’s probably because they’re far apart and less affected by Theranos.

If you receive the effects of the national treasure relic located in the center, as well as the effects of its replica, the fields on the edges will also receive similar effects.

“Hey, how much will all this cost together?”

Oh Hyeon-seong muttered as he looked at the great swords standing here and there.

Over 100 national treasures and other relics were invested.

It will be the most luxurious field in the world, which no amount of high-tech painting equipment can rival.

Because the farmland was so vast and the crops were growing abundantly here and there, the large swords stuck in there didn’t look that ugly or stand out.

‘I think this is enough to expect an effect.’

That’s all for today’s work.

If necessary, I will replicate and deploy more great swords, but for now, it would be better to stop here and observe how much the soil changes.

From my long experience in the past, too much often leads to worse results than not enough.

The next day.

Two neighbors came to his house, which was quiet as usual.

The Yu siblings had always come to visit me whenever they were bored, and in some ways, it was no different from any other time.

But today’s sight was very different from usual.

“Uh… Whew!”

Eunha Yoo froze in place, her body shaking.

It was because a wriggling lower spirit had climbed up onto my shoulder.

At first I was surprised, but then I burst out laughing at the sight of the little guy sitting next to me whining quietly.

“Haha, so cute.”

“… It’s really amazing.”

Yoo Seung-soo is also crouching down and making eye contact with the water spirit whose body is rippling.

Even to hunters who have been on this earth for a long time, the concept of ‘spirit’ was very unfamiliar.

Since Oh Hyeon-seong is the only hunter with a special constitution who can communicate with and handle spirits, he has almost no way of knowing about the existence of spirits, let alone other summoned creatures that are commonly contracted.

Moreover, for civilians who have never encountered other summons, the existence of spirits is bound to be a novel experience.

“Would you like to come to my house with me?”

Kkiing!

“Oh, I got it! Sorry!”

Although Eun-ha Yoo apologized belatedly, the lower spirit who had run away was hugged by Hyun-seong Oh.

An earth spirit that sticks to you like gum and won’t come off.

It is obvious that he is not afraid because he knows that Eun-ha Yoo, who is not a contractor, cannot forcibly take him away, and he is sticking to her using a good excuse.

However, Eunha Yoo felt a little guilty and approached cautiously.

“Sorry, let’s make up. I won’t take you.”

Boom boom.

The spirit clinging to the boat responded without even looking at me.

As Oh Hyeon-seong looked down at the guy and hissed, the earth spirit scratched her head in embarrassment and shook hands with Yoo Eun-ha.

“Ugh… cute. Really tiny.”

Eunha Yoo stamped her feet and resisted the urge to kidnap her.

Oh Hyun-seong chuckled at the sight.

‘Everyone is playing better than I thought.’

Compared to the first day when only one earth spirit cautiously appeared, now there were several spirits of each attribute in the yard.

Of course, there were still many guys who had not shown themselves and were hiding somewhere, but seeing the guys who had come forward first having fun, they let their guard down one by one and appeared.

It was the first time Oh Hyun-seong had seen him become friendly with a non-hunter so quickly, so it was quite surprising.

It was nice to see them playing well with each other, so I watched them play for a while.

“… It’s time to get to work now. I have to get up.”

“Hey, oppa, are you going to the field?”

“Well, there was a quantity that needed to be harvested and sent out by today.”

“Are you delivering to department stores?”

“No, it’s not a department store. There’s a place that sends items separately.”

Oh Hyeon-seong answered his brother and sister’s question simply.

I don’t think I need to tell you anything about Miracle Company.

With that thought, he got up from his seat.

“Then we’ll help you too!”

“That’s right. You have to pay for what you get.”

The siblings jumped up and followed him.

He didn’t feel the need to refuse their offer of help, so he went to the field with them.

“wow…”

“What, what is all this?”

As I entered the bare ground, a wide field suddenly opened up.

It was as if magic had been performed.

But it wasn’t magic, it was something that happened because it passed through the barrier that surrounded the entire field.

Of course, this is a sight that can be seen because Oh Hyeon-seong allowed their entry in advance.

“I didn’t even know something like this existed.”

“It can’t be helped.”

The work of Han Su-yeon, a 13th-grade hunter.

As the best barrier magician in the country, her barrier could not be broken even by a truckload of detectorists, let alone ordinary people.

Meanwhile, Oh Hyeon-seong, who had been looking around the field, nodded his head as if he was quite satisfied.

‘The number of unique-grade crops has definitely increased significantly. We’ll have to look into it more to see the exact amount of increase, but isn’t it more than I expected?’

After inserting about a hundred replica swords, the soil’s thick layer of sunlight noticeably improved.

Thanks to this, the proportion of top grade crops grown has increased.

A few epic grades have also appeared, and most importantly, the proportion of unique grade crops has increased significantly across all fields.

These higher grade crops had a greater effect, allowing more output to be produced with less production.

Miracle’s business so far had set the default value of the materials used to be rare, but now it was possible to make the default value unique.

Thanks to this, Oh Hyun-seong was able to further increase production of the expensive cosmetics that were currently selling like hotcakes without feeling a great burden.

Of course, I had no intention of supplying it to the epic level just because it was efficient, and it was for Oh Hyeon-seong to use directly.

“Oh… but you guys are really good at your jobs.”

“Well, I don’t know about anything else, but when it comes to farming, we’re the seniors.”

“Dark dark.”

Crops piled high next to them as they clap their hands.

The amount of delivery was certainly not that small, but with the siblings rolling up their sleeves and helping out, the work was finished in no time.

Not only did they do their part, but they also perfectly commanded the spirits that worked beside them.

It wasn’t my intention, but I may have acquired two quality workers that money can’t buy.

Meanwhile, inside the warehouse located in the yard.

There was quite a pile of relics that Lee Gil-sang had secured and brought back.

Although 100 relics were used to replicate the greatsword, there are still a significant number remaining, so much so that there are likely many more left.

Tsk tsk tsk!

But in the midst of such a pile of relics.

A black shadow emerged from the small jar, slowly crawling through the gap and extending outward.

Soon, the shadow that had been twisting here and there took the shape of a small person and opened its red eyes.

Krrrrrr,

A being that embodies the curse contained in the relic.

Among the relics, there were often relics that were cursed, and there were cases where they were involved in unpleasant events and ended up on the black market.

Although it is a very rare case, one that can be counted among the best cases in the world, the risk is quite high.

Sniff sniff!

The monster, which had been turning its head here and there, climbed onto another relic.

The relics piled up here were good prey for him to gain strength.

But the moment the guy was about to open his strange mouth wide to prey.

“…”

Kik?

A young girl with pure white hair is staring down at the boy.

Alyssa, the spirit of light.

The monster unconsciously took a step backwards due to an unknown sense of rejection.

But the moment the guy turned his back and tried to run away, Alyssa reached out and grabbed him.

“Yum.”

A monster that fit into Alyssa’s mouth.

She chewed and ate the materialized curse as if it were jerky, and the monster was devoured without even being able to put up much of a fight.

Bam!

“Huh? What are you doing here?”

At that moment, Oh Hyun-seong opened the door and came in and discovered Alyssa.

Alyssa turned around in surprise, but instinctively covered her mouth with both hands and mumbled.

And then she swallowed what was in her mouth.

“What did you eat here?”

Dori dori.

Alyssa shook her head.

Oh Hyun-seong was looking at her with suspicious eyes, but without even looking around, there was nothing to eat in the warehouse.

“…But you seem to have grown a bit?”

Oh Hyun-seong placed his hand on her head.

The identity of the strange sense of foreboding I’ve been feeling since earlier.

But it felt strange to think that I had really grown taller.

Growth did not exist for the spirits.

Even though they can take on different forms, their true nature as spirits never changes.

That’s basic common sense for spirits.

“Hmm… I guess I’m mistaken?”

Alyssa looked up at him with a puzzled expression.

Oh Hyun-seong, who was on one knee, pressed the guy’s cheeks for no reason, and Alyssa’s face was distorted here and there.

Oh Hyun-seong got up, smiling brightly at the sight of the cute guy.

“Don’t stay here. Come out. Let’s have a snack together.”

“…!”

Alyssa’s reaction to the color change.

Alyssa, who had come running, held Oh Hyun-seong’s hand tightly and left the dark warehouse.
