When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 82

82. Potatoes of national supremacy

“What is this?”

Oh Hyun-seong furrowed his eyebrows.

Before his eyes, a bunch of strange information was listed.

[Oh Hyun-seong]

[Body Activation Rate – 34%]

[Current fatigue – 74(↑)]

[Air pollution level – 45]

[Mental Pollution Level – 0]

…

“hmm…”

Oh Hyun-seong waved his arms.

Clear letters passed by his hands.

It was difficult to tell if it was just a simple hologram, as the letters followed him wherever he turned, obscuring his vision.

‘It looks like it contains information about my condition since my name is written there, but there are also some unfamiliar words mixed in.’

Oh Hyun-seong glanced to the side.

Then, the bluish stone he had been holding had disappeared.

Also, when he looked into the mirror in the corner of the warehouse, his two eyes were faintly blue.

[old mirror]

[This is an antique made 26 years ago. It has no effect.]

“…were the relics used?”

When more strange information appeared, Oh Hyeon-seong nodded as if he understood.

It’s not like he suddenly started seeing things, but it seems like the relic was activated on its own and flowed into his body.

But the effect is very unique.

“Is this an artifact that can see information about objects?”

Blea, who was already climbing onto my shoulder, said.

“You can see this too.”

“Of course. We are connected by soul.”

“Well, maybe other people won’t see it.”

Oh Hyun-seong moved his gaze here and there.

Each time, letters followed one by one.

When conscious, it could make things disappear from sight for a moment, or it could illuminate information about other objects.

Oh Hyun-seong, who had been thinking for a moment, went to see Noya.

Even if it wasn’t intentional, it ended up being like using the relic without the owner’s permission.

But when he actually heard the story, he nodded as if it was interesting.

“There’s no need to apologize. It wasn’t you who accidentally used it, it was the relic that chose you. You know that happens often.”

The old man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

I could feel a rather warm heat coming from him as he just came out of the studio.

“Rather than that… it’s definitely unusual.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s true that it’s an artifact that shows information about objects, but I didn’t know that it could also reveal information about people.”

Oh Hyun-seong stared at Noya.

The moment he became conscious, his information also flashed back to him.

Of course, I didn’t take that information into account.

Noya often said that the past was just buried.

Since he had not even told Oh Hyeon-seong his name until now, he did not want to dig into the effects of this artifact now.

The old man smiled at his appearance and said.

“Relics may have different effects depending on the user. Since you are the most suitable owner, keep it.”

“The ring is like that, and there is no other robbery.”

“You can think of it as the price paid for dealing with the monster.”

The old man said, laughing loudly.

“Oh, by the way, it looks like the sword work will take a long time, so come back again next time. I’ll give you the finished product then.”

“delicious?”

Boom boom!

The spirits sitting around the yard nodded, each holding a piece of fruit.

Han Su-yeon, who had her chin raised, looked at those guys with a sly smile.

Even though it was a large house left alone, it didn’t feel cramped thanks to the presence of spirits.

As I watched the kids running around, making noise, I reached for the peeled apple.

The front door opened with a creaking sound.

“… senior?”

The one who appeared through the open door was none other than Oh Hyeon-seong, and Han Su-yeon stood up at his appearance.

“Where did you go without saying anything? You didn’t even contact me.”

“I came to see an old friend.”

“Friend? Where is your friend, senior?”

“You speak harshly.”

Oh Hyeon-seong, who had been walking slowly, sat down on the floor.

Then the spirits came running and welcomed him.

Because of the battle, I had summoned the higher spirits, but they were always away while I was in the Misty Mountain.

In fact, even though it was only a short period of time, the spirits could not contain their joy and made a fuss.

“Yeah, yeah. I missed you guys too.”

Boom boom!

“You smell like blood. Did you even go to the gate?”

Han Su-yeon came over and said.

Even though I washed my clothes thoroughly with the help of Albern and Blea, the spirits of water and fire, it looks like they are still dirty.

“It’s a long explanation, but I met with my inspiration.”

“What…? How so suddenly? Where have I seen this before?”

“I’m tired because I moved around all night for the first time in a while. Let’s talk after I change my clothes.”

“Oh, I see.”

At his words, Han Su-yeon quietly backed away.

Of course, the expression on his face was clearly one of curiosity.

She was also acquainted with Noya, but it had been years since they had lost contact, so it made sense.

But it can’t be helped, as this isn’t a story that will end quickly.

Oh Hyun-seong entered the room and changed his clothes.

And the moment I was about to go back out into the yard, I looked out the window at Han Su-yeon without saying a word.

Tsutsutsu!

A blue light appeared in his eyes and letters appeared.

[Han Su-yeon]

[Threat Level – Very High]

[Relationship Chart – 98]

[Body Activation Rate – 89%]

[Current fatigue – 0]

[Air pollution level – 13 (↓)]

[Mental Pollution Level – 7(↓)]

[Compared to my long experience in the field, the turbidity level is remarkably low. I feel comfortable living here.]

‘Oh… Is this what other people’s conditions look like?’

He carefully examined the phrases that came to mind.

I was quite surprised by the information that was presented in much more detail than I had expected, including the fact that the relationship was also quantified.

It’s much more granular than when you look at your own information.

I thought the number 98 was a bit too high, but it was still quite fun just looking at the items.

It was a bit painful to see into other people’s minds.

‘In the case of risk, it seems to be talking about the power as a hunter rather than how dangerous it is, and the concept of activation rate is unique.’

A number that indicates how much power a character can actually exert compared to their actual power.

If the accumulated toxicity has a negative effect on the body or if the power decreases due to direct injury, the corresponding value is lowered and reflected.

Since the level of turbid air pollution in Han Su-yeon’s body was greatly reduced, the power she could exert was also high at 89%.

‘So does that mean I can only use 34 percent of my original power?’

Oh Hyun-seong looked at his own shame.

Although it may seem like a shabby number, it is an acceptable figure considering that it is based on the player’s prime years.

Even then, it would not have been able to exert 100% of its full power while exposed to the atmosphere, but at least it would have been much stronger than it is now.

‘However… since there are only two comparison groups, the numbers are hard to estimate. Should we check a little more?’

Oh Hyun-seong picked up his cell phone.

After sending a text, he went outside and sat down with Han Su-yeon to talk about Noya for a while.

Then, Yun Seol-ha, who had received the text message, came to see me.

“Senior! Did you call?”

“Oh, go eat something before you go.”

[Yoon Seol-ha]

[Threat Level – High]

[Relationship Chart – 93]

[Body Activation Rate – 72%]

[Current fatigue – 9]

[Air pollution level – 28 (↓)]

[Mental Pollution Level – 41(↓)]

[Although he has not yet fully recovered from the psychological aftereffects, he is recovering quickly. He has formed an emotional bond with the residents of Changyeong-ri.]

Yun Seol-ha’s status window, called out under the pretense of asking her to eat.

As expected, the level of takgi pollution and mental pollution was higher than that of Hansuyeon, but it was decreasing.

The food I eat here and the emotional stability I feel must have had a big impact.

Also, the relationship with Yun Seol-ha was very high.

It is said that a score of 85 or higher does not appear easily even in blood relations or romantic relationships, which shows how special the trust built up through life and death together in the special forces is.

“This senior was impressed.”

“… yes?”

“It’s nothing.”

However, as I read through the items, I noticed one strange thing.

The pollution level of Yun Seol-ha’s takgi is only 28.

‘This guy was in a psychic state until recently, and now my takki level is 45? This doesn’t make sense.’

In addition, in Oh Hyeon-seong’s case, there was not even an arrow pointing downward.

That the consolidation is being maintained in this state.

This means that the level of turbidity in the body is not decreasing.

This is extremely unusual, considering that he lived in Changyeong-ri for the longest time and ate the spirit’s crops.

Even the lowest one is not enough, so what’s this number?

“Why are you like that?”

“Oh, no, nothing. Come on in.”

Oh Hyun-seong shook his head and smiled.

He couldn’t accept being treated as a senior who would come and go from her, so he quickly controlled his expression, but his mind became very complicated.

‘You might think I’m just showing you some random numbers, but… if you think about it, at some point it started to get noticeably slower.”

Any injuries or aftereffects have already been recovered from long ago.

It’s almost impossible to remember the last time I limped.

However, his physical specs and power as a hunter were not restored to the level of the past and were stagnating.

If it was said that the phenomenon was due to the low body activation rate and the influence of residual turbidity, then it made sense.

‘The problem is, why doesn’t the turbid energy in my body decrease?’

Oh Hyun-seong was lost in thought for a while.

But there was no clear answer, so I talked to Han Su-yeon about this issue.

“It seems like the level of turbidity in your body isn’t dropping below a certain level?”

“Yeah, but I’m not sure yet.”

“Hmm… Does that mean there’s a problem with the injury she sustained five years ago? Of course, if there was any poison or curse left behind, we would have known about it at the time… But she’s the ‘Queen’ and not just any other monster.”

Han Su-yeon thought carefully and then said.

Five years ago, the person responsible for causing Oh Hyun-seong a fatal injury and causing him to suffer from aftereffects.

Since it was a fight with the Queen, who was a being of a different class from ordinary monsters, it would not have been strange if unexpected variables had occurred.

“Is that really so?”

“I hope it’s just a delusion, but just in case, I’ll do some separate research into the Queen’s past. There’s been a lot of follow-up research and study since you took her down and recovered her body, so I might be able to glean something.”

“I would appreciate it if you could do that. Oh, by the way, I just remembered… How did the investigation I mentioned last time go?”

“Oh, you mean the investigation into China? Unfortunately, we’ve had several failed attempts. We’ve found a few clues, but they’re not significant.”

She shook her head.

I had said I would tell you the results as soon as they came out, but there was a reason I didn’t say anything after that.

“It’s not a problem, it’s just a tip that the Queen’s special species may have reappeared, so it’s better if there’s no news at all.”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

No news is good news.

There couldn’t be a better word for that monster.

*

The next day, Oh Hyeon-seong went out to work in the fields as usual.

Even if artifacts flow into your body at will and information about objects appears in your eyes.

It’s not like our daily lives will change much right away.

Even if a meteorite falls tomorrow, shouldn’t we still harvest the food we’re going to eat today?

But he went out to the field and stood still without even starting to work.

Among the countless potatoes growing in the field.

Because there was a strange potato that was emitting a pure white light all by itself.

[Extraordinary Potato]

[Rank – Rare (3)]

[A potato that has been grown exceptionally well and has an extraordinary sheen. It has special effects as it contains the spirit’s energy.]
