Episode 35
“Hey Kim. “Be careful when moving it.”
“Don’t worry.”
“Leave one freezer empty. Are you going to use it to dismantle monsters?”
“older brother!! Ours doesn’t work. “There’s still plenty of at.”
“Hey man. Even if I give it to you, I won’t use it. What a scrawny guy. “I’m afraid that soone will ask for it, so I’ll play it as a player!”
“Hehe, you know it well.”
The people’s voices were so lively that it was hard to believe that there had been a monster attack.
However, if you just look at their voices, it may be so, but the disparate words in their conversation or the surrounding scenery never showed liveliness.
“…There was a place like this.”
Park Hyo-joo said as if it was fascinating to see people moving busily among the half-destroyed buildings of the market.
“There has been a livestock market in Majang-dong for a long ti, so it is not that surprising.”
Namgung said it casually, but there was actually sothing else that surprised her.
This was because people in work clothes were casually carrying the corpse of a monster.
“If you kill a monster, doesn’t it turn into ashes and disappear? Why…”
“It is not wrong to say that if you kill a monster, it will turn into ashes and disappear. But they are carrying the corpse of a monster? There is only one answer. “That one is still alive.”
“Are you alive?”
Park Hyo-joo looked at them as if she couldn’t believe what Namgung said.
The frozen bodies of the Lizardn who invaded yesterday were being moved into the warehouse.
“No way…”
“They were frozen alive.”
“Woof!”
At his words, Park Hyo-joo started to feel nauseous without realizing it. A large man appeared in front of her as she let out a heavy breath, feeling her stomach turn.
“Who are you? We’re not open today. No, I don’t know when I will do it. “Almost all the farms that provided at went bankrupt.”
Namgung looked at him.
A large man with a long, untreated, open wound on his cheek.
He was none other than Jang Gil-su.
“Then what are those ats?”
“That’s inedible. Because it’s monster at. The monsters that appeared yesterday. They slaughtered them. “I can’t guarantee what will happen if you eat it.”
“Why are you taking the trouble to do sothing that is useless?”
“They said they couldn’t eat it, but they didn’t say we couldn’t eat it. “Anyway, we don’t have anything to eat, so we can’t even sell monster at.”
“You’re eating rmaid?”
“It’s none of your business. “Go back.”
Jang Gil-su waved his hand at the two people.
‘They use lizardman at for food… As expected, it looks like they have already developed the ability to gluttony.’
That was the reason why he was able to erge as a strong player.
‘Gluttony literally ans devouring everything.’
Surprisingly, he had a special ability that allowed him to increase his stats the more he ate monsters.
‘I guess that’s why they’re freezing the monsters now instead of killing them.’
Jeop- Jeok- Jeok-
Namgoong passed by Jang Gil-su and walked toward the frozen warehouse.
“Hey!!”
He called urgently, but Namgung paid no heed, cutting off the piled up pieces of Lizardman at and putting them in his mouth.
“Wow…”
Park Hyo-joo frowned at that sight, but Jang Gil-soo’s face hardened on the contrary.
“It doesn’t taste that good either.”
“…What are you doing?”
“No matter how delicious the at is, if you keep eating the sa thing, you will get bitten. The sa goes for the body. Even if you foolishly take it just because it is effective, there is a limit to what you can accept.”
Tuk
Namgung spread sothing on the piece of at he was holding. Then he threw it at Jang Gil-su.
“What’s important is not how much you foolishly eat, but how you eat.”
He gestured to Jang Gil-su as if to eat it.
Although he looked suspicious, he put the piece of at Namgung gave him into his mouth.
“…?!”
At that mont, Jang Gil-su’s eyes widened.
“It looks like there’s nothing worth living for, so we’ll have to head back.”
“Now wait a minute!!”
The mont Namgung turned away, Jang Gil-soo hurriedly caught him.
“Just… what was that? “What did you do with the at?”
“well. How about changing places first? “It seems like the custor is you, not .”
At that mont, Namgoong smiled strangely.
* * *
Take a look –
Jang Gil-soo led Namgoong and Park Hyo-joo to the warehouse inside the store located at the very back of the livestock market.
“I can’t help it even if it looks ssy. “Because this is where I live.”
Inside the warehouse, several daily necessities and work clothes were lying tattered. The blood on my work clothes had not gone away, and the sll in the warehouse was terrible.
“My house collapsed and I lost my entire family because of those damn monsters.”
His eyes were full of revenge.
Eating monster flesh would never be easy. In order to survive, Namgung ate a lot of their at in his past life, but in fact, eating the at of Lizardn raw was so fishy and disgusting that it was a terrible thing to eat.
“If you eat monsters, you beco stronger… The gates of hell open, and sotis the chosen ones develop special abilities, unlike ordinary people, but these are definitely rare abilities.”
Namgung spoke to Jang Gil-su.
“The chosen one? Hmm… I guess he’s a cursed person.”
“It depends on what you think, but one of them is you. “A person with the ability to gluttony.”
“…!!!”
“It’s a very rare quality that increases your abilities when you eat monsters.”
“How can you do that…”
Namgung casually pointed at Park Hyo-joo.
“She belongs to the National Intelligence Service. It is the place with the most information in Korea. “I think this is a sufficient answer… don’t you think?”
“I can’t believe a brilliant National Intelligence Service agent is investigating just one slaughterer. “I’m just so moved.”
At that mont, Park Hyo-joo looked at Namgoong in bewildernt with a look in her eyes that asked, ‘?’
“But although your deboning skills are superb, you seem to have no taste. Why do you only eat raw food? “Humans made a great invention called cooking.”
“I don’t know how they ca after , but it looks like they didn’t investigate properly. This is not eating monster at for its taste. salt? pepper? Try putting sothing like that on at and see what happens.”
Jang Gil-su actually snorted at Namgung’s words.
“The monster’s at just lts. It disappears. Even if you try to grill it over a fire, it won’t cook at all. “You’re the one who doesn’t know.”
“You did so research.”
he said
“of course. If this damn situation continues, we have to think about the risk of running out of food soday. “But despite all our efforts, in the end we couldn’t use it for food.”
“We’ve only just finished the second Gate of Hell, but we’re preparing for food depletion… It’s better than the governnt. is not it?”
“….”
Park Hyo-joo frowned slightly as Namgung glanced at her.
“When you go to Ro, you have to follow Roman laws. Monsters do not exist in our world. “If you want to cook, it’s right to use tools from that world.”
Tak-
Then he put down a small glass bottle in front of him.
“It’s still hard to find.”
Numbering 1211.
Na: Salt jam on the west beach of Krusan
Rating: Magic (best)
▶ Price: 100,000 heads
▶ Although it is made with salt, it is thick. When you eat it, you can feel the sweet scent and salty taste.
Jang Gil-su looked at the salt bottle in front of him and thought it was a mistake.
“I never thought they would sell sothing like this at Yacha Bundle. “I’ve done sothing stupid so far.”
“It’s not stupid. “Didn’t you find out their weaknesses thanks to your efforts in dismantling the monsters?”
“It’s not a weakness, but… I did take a look at what their bodies were like while I was slaughtering them.”
He said it indifferently.
“But… after the door closes, won’t a new monster appear?”
“The first ti is a goblin, the second ti is a lizardman. “I’ve only experienced it twice, so who’s making such generalizations?”
“Ah…”
Park Hyo-joo looked like she missed Namgung’s answer.
“There’s no guarantee they won’t co out again. In that sense, his dismantling work was much more valuable than governnt agencies such as the National Intelligence Service or the National Forensic Service.”
“There is no need to praise. I just found out by eating them. “It’s no big deal.”
Jang Gil-su waved his hand at Namgung’s words.
“We need that trivial thing. “The information you learned while dismantling the monster.”
“What are you trying to use it for?”
At that mont, Namgoong looked at Park Hyo-joo, who was standing behind him.
“Could you please tell this person, not ? Even if it is a monster, it is ultimately a living thing. “When there is a weakness and you attack that weakness accurately, you can hunt a large number with the least amount of force.”
“Ah…”
Park Hyo-joo imdiately realized what he was saying.
If Jang Gil-su’s ability was gluttony, her power was telekinesis. Although it was an ability to use the blade at will from a long distance, it had one drawback: it was weak in power.
“Learn under him. It will be completely different from training. “There are things you can only learn by directly touching the muscles and bones.”
“Do you… have to do it?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. But soon there will be a line of people wanting to learn from him, right?”
Namgung pointed to the bottle on the table and said.
“If it costs the price of a bottle of salt, it’s actually sothing I’m thankful for.”
Jang Gil-su, who had been keeping his eyes on the bottle, put the bottle in his arms as soon as Namgung finished speaking, as if he had been waiting.
“Hahaha, that’s as much as you want. It’s not difficult. But you’ll have to make up your mind to co. “It won’t be easy.”
“Just three days. Just learn under him for 3 days. “Lizardn’s weaknesses and ways to attack them.”
“Why? Now the gate is closed and the remaining monsters across the country are being wiped out.”
“Have you already forgotten about the first ti at the Gates of Hell? “After the door disappeared, more goblins appeared.”
“Ah… no way… this ti too?”
“You can look forward to it. “There will be waves so big that they can’t be compared to back then.”
Gulp –
Thinking back to the fierce battle at Gwanghwamun, Park Hyo-joo swallowed dryly as if she was nervous without even realizing it.
“But before that…”
Namgung stood up.
“Mr. Jang Gil-soo. Now why don’t you try sothing else?”
“…Sothing else?”
Namgung spoke to Jang Gil-su, who was looking at him.
“It’s almost ti to show up…”
That was then.
Coogggggggg—!!!
Suddenly the ground started shaking like crazy.
“What?!”
“what…!!”
Jang Gil-su and Park Hyo-joo hurriedly grabbed hold of the pillars around them and looked at Namgung.
“Brother tongue!!!”
“Co out and co out!!”
“A huge sinkhole has appeared in front of the market!!”
Jang Gil-su opened the door of the store with a puzzled expression as he heard the noisy shouts of rchants in the market.
“…!!!”
At that mont, a deep and huge hole with no end appeared before his eyes.
“Instead of the tasteless lizard at, how about beef this ti?”
“That’s good.”
The second dungeon, Minotaur’s Labyrinth.
The attack has begun.
