314. Underwater (5)
It was some time later that Owen calmed down.
[I still can’t believe it. This damn quest has really been completed! If I couldn’t get a job change item in this theme dungeon, I was thinking of moving to the capital and at least following the main story.]
Owen looks into space with a voice full of emotion. Perhaps in his eyes, a new quest window appears, invisible to the party.
[You know what? I-I’ve been really wanting to go home for so long! Did you say that the faces of your father and the people of the family, especially our cute little Sisley, flashed before your eyes every day?]
[…] But why don’t you just come back?]
Seongjin asked with a sullen face. Instead of inadvertently asking, ‘Why didn’t you go?’, the question became, ‘Why didn’t you come back?’
Because it was so natural, Owen didn’t notice anything strange and shook his head.
[Newbie, you wouldn’t know. There are many miscellaneous quests that Sang Tae-chang gives me every day. This is mostly what needs to be done on the southern front.]
Kill the sea creatures living near the power lines. Attend events of the tribes of Barça, especially the Volanta tribe. Boost the morale of soldiers serving on the southern front.
With all these quests pouring in, Owen couldn’t leave the southern front at all.
Moreover, the status window showed the future main stream.
[Main Stream 3 – Save Castle□!]
[Main Stream 4 – Save Castle□!]
[Main Stream 5 – Let’s defeat □□□ □□!]
For some reason, these are contents that are expected to have a significant impact on the well-being of the people of Seonghwangga in the future. How could Owen know this clearly and then ignore it?
Thanks to this, Owen had no choice but to carry out the miscellaneous quests presented in the status window. His only comfort was that the stream’s achievement gauge was slowly filling up.
[Is that all there is? If you fail to perform these within the deadline, there is a huge penalty every time!]
Threatening to cut Cathy, who was the size of a rat’s tail, into pieces was a good thing.
If anything goes wrong in the quest, a huge friction will suddenly arise in the relationship with the Barsha tribes, or an incident will occur where the trust that had been built up will be in vain.
There were times when Owen’s life was in immediate danger.
[amazing! My status window just tells me to get a certain amount of items. It sets you free!]
[If there is a penalty, it is definitely tight. Well, thinking about the events so far, Sangtae Chang, who leads Owen, seems to have a particularly formidable temper.]
Seongjin, who was listening to their conversation, secretly frowned.
‘What on earth was Grandma thinking?’
I simply thought that Owen was doing something for his family. Now that I look at it, doesn’t it seem like her grandmother had a higher stake in Owen’s runaway from home than expected?
No, what are the criteria for the status window to issue quests in the first place? How can a guest ID user be enforced in such detail?
[Anyway, how was the goddess? Was she really covering her eyes and holding a golden spear like in the picture in the book?]
At Dexter’s sudden question, the silent villains looked at Owen with curious eyes.
Why not? Since everyone had been working on the Pangea Chronicle for quite some time, she had some basic curiosity about the absolute growing goddess of this world.
However, since they are Guest ID users who cannot use high-end facilities, they will never be able to meet the goddess in person in the future.
[hmm… … .]
However, Owen’s expression became a little more subtle.
[okay. It’s exactly the same. I was covering my eyes with an eye patch, but somehow I felt like I could see clearly. Plus, he looked very strong. He definitely deserved to be called the strongest person in the world. but… … .]
[but?]
[I’m not sure if I should really call it a goddess? Rather, I had a strong feeling that it was like a business.]
… Business? It was quite an unexpected sentiment for Seongjin.
Isn’t Justitia quite a temperamental person? Moreover, although it was a bit vague, it had its own absolute ‘class’ that was worthy of ‘Code Zero’.
[When I gave her the change item, the goddess praised her excessively, saying she was the first on the server. And aren’t you going to try to sell me something by talking about specials and all? They said they would give me a huge discount since it was a chance I would never have again. So I politely declined and returned.]
“… “What, man?”
Seongjin jumped up and shouted. It was so absurd that I didn’t even realize that I had uttered the imperial language without realizing it.
“hey! Why miss that great opportunity? “If you don’t have anything to buy, just take a look!”
“hmm?”
Then Owen looked at Seongjin and blinked.
“But 1/10th of the regular price, isn’t it too suspicious? Does that make sense? It somehow seems like a scammer to keep trying to get you to buy something… … .”
“what… … !”
“Is that so? No matter how good the conditions are, the essence of business does not change. Anyone who wants to sell something always aims to get the most benefit from the customer. “Would a bastard like that sell a decent product for 1/10 the price?”
Seongjin was speechless at that bold answer.
‘No, this guy always shows his sloppy side, but why is he so strangely strict in important places?’
I pressured him into handing over the items he needed and handing over the limited edition eye patch and other necessary items at a low price. So my hard work is now useless!
As Seongjin held his head, which was giving him a headache, Owen asked him worriedly.
“what’s the matter? “Where does it hurt, newbie?”
“Okay… … .”
Oh, it’s noisy. You are the cause of my headache!
Ah, you idiot. How on earth do they do this?
Seongjin, who thought for a while, held out a small hoof in front of Owen with a feeling of desperation and said.
“I’m sick and I’m going to die. “You don’t need anything, I’ll buy it for you, so just give me your cash.”
“… … .”
Then Owen looked at Seongjin with an unknown expression.
Well, they are trying to force you to hand over money, but is there any way it will work? No matter how stupid this kid is.
however-
“hmm? Do you need cache? “Okay, how much can I give you?”
Absurdly, this guy, Owen, is responding obediently and manipulating the trading window again! In the end, a blood spurt appeared from Seongjin’s forehead.
“Hey, you stupid guy!”
Wow!
“Ahh!”
Owen, who had suddenly been hit hard, cried out while rubbing the dark petal marks left on his forehead.
“Why are you hitting me again?!”

“You man, do you want to keep talking nonsense like that?”
“Why do you get angry when I give you cash?”
“Who in the world would give away cash just because they asked for it? “I’m telling you, you better come to your senses!”
“What, is that the reason? I just can’t figure it out! Then don’t ask for it in the first place!”
“You man, you don’t understand at all! The problem isn’t that I asked for it, the problem is that you just gave it to me! “Don’t you know that yet?”
Looking at the two people pressing their foreheads together and shouting, the silent villains who knew nothing laughed happily.
[good night. Are we getting closer?]
[okay. Young people seem to make friends very easily.]
Of course, it was a misunderstanding that occurred because I could not understand the imperial language at all. Only Dexter, who receives full translation services, looks at them with a dumbfounded expression.
‘What on earth are they doing? ‘Why are you fighting over such useless things?’
* * *
Fortunately, Owen’s chance to make up for his mistakes came quickly.
Taking advantage of the moment when the group left the dungeon, the goddess summoned Seongjin back to her space.
[…] … .]
As I looked back into the darkness that I had become quite accustomed to, Justitia, facing Seongjin, blurted out this.
[I tried!]
[what?]
[I tried to sell the items you mentioned to that guest ID user as much as possible!]
… Uh, okay.
Let me admit that you worked hard. How dare you think that Owen would think of you as a complete fraud and not a goddess?
[are you okay. I’ll buy it, so just sell it to me.]
[…] … .]
At Seongjin’s answer, the goddess looked very disappointed.
I was just trying to sell one item, but now it looks like I’m feeling a strong sense of skepticism.
[Wouldn’t you have just bought it from the beginning?]
[Isn’t it strange that I suddenly buy him an item? Besides, I didn’t have much money earlier.]
Are you there now? Of course.
In the end, despite all the fighting, Seongjin managed to steal an appropriate amount of cash from Owen. The guy was very embarrassed when he handed me the money.
-Why on earth did I get hit?
Anyway, Seongjin searched the store menu provided by Justitia and quickly found the item he wanted.
〚Would you like to purchase this item?〛
[*Verification is cancel=
Seongjin clicked the button while inwardly sticking his tongue out.
‘Wow, this is still evil even though the price has been reduced by 10%.’
After quickly making the payment and putting the items into the inventory, the goddess looked at Seongjin in confusion.
[Why do you need that? □□□ □□. There is nothing in this world that would dare interfere with your mind… … .]
Noisy.
Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart, but Seongjin cut off the goddess’s words without thinking.
[Isn’t it cute? It’s a limited edition… … .]
[…] … .]
[what? why? what? Don’t meddle in unnecessary ways.]
It was when I was glaring at Justitia who looked dumbfounded. Suddenly, something moving behind her caught Seongjin’s eye.
Wiggle.
[That… … .]
It was a black lump the size of a finger. It was changing direction and moving slowly, like a small lump of dust rolling in the wind.
But it was clearly a conscious being. As soon as I met Seongjin’s gaze, I was startled and hesitated, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The goddess, who noticed Seongjin’s gaze, opened her mouth.
[Originally, it would have taken a little longer for that thing to move. However, thanks to unreasonable manipulation of the probability at your request, it grew faster than expected. It will take shape soon.]
okay. Justitia of Darkness.
As long as this game runs and as long as errors accumulate, it is a being that continues to be born and grow.
Grumble!
Demon King No. 2 reflexively appeared in front of Seongjin. However, instead of throwing fire right away, Seongjin quietly stared into the darkness where the bastard had disappeared.
[…] Why don’t you get rid of it this time?]
Justitia asked, looking a little pale as she faced Demon King No. 2.
[Well, there will still be time for you to grow out of control, right?]
So, wouldn’t there be a need to make people experience death one after another within a short period of time? He’s a guy with a predetermined outcome, but when I think about it, it’s a bit pitiful.
Slurp.
As if reflecting Seongjin’s will, Demon King No. 2 suddenly disappears in thin air.
[you are… … .]
Seongjin spoke to Justitia, who seemed to have a lot to say.
[It’s okay. Anyway, the business is over now. So hurry and let me out.]
When Seongjin came to his senses, he once again faced Owen, whose face was right in front of him.
This time, the guy was in the middle of a fuss, saying that the newbie was still mesmerized even after leaving the dungeon.
‘… … !’
Wow, that was just dangerous.
I almost reached my forehead out of habit!
And Owen opened his mouth dumbly when he saw an item suddenly thrust in front of him.
“Limited edition rabbit eyepatch? Newbie, how did you do this… … .”
“Oh, there’s a way to everything.”
It was like that.
The baby goat was suddenly holding out a black limited edition rabbit eye patch with a proud expression.
