Episode 31. Kimi (2)
Again, again.
Into a transparent flask.
Blue water droplets fall one by one.
Distillation.
A method of separating a liquid mixture by utilizing the difference in boiling point.
Without any specific chemical reaction.
It is one of the technologies that mankind has used for a long time, and it is a task that involves physical separation of mixtures.
Of course, there is some alchemy involved here.
The story is different when magic-based ingredients are added, rather than alcohol, which is a common synonym for distillation.
“A little bit… … a little bit more… … .”
Even now, 15 years after the introduction of Galaxy Arena.
The energy source that could not be explained by science was horsepower.
An energy source that cannot be specifically identified.
One of the common characteristics of such magic is that it is extremely ‘sensitive’ in this distilled state.
That means.
“Just three more drops here… … .”
This means that it is the most dangerous manufacturing process to date.
To put it more simply.
Breaking news.
“Huh!”
I guess this is the section where alchemists cause the most explosions.
one.
-brother!
“I know. I prepared a tranquilizer.”
Survive in a world overflowing with countless outbreaks and criminal villains at level 1.
It could be seen that the magical power explosion for the poet, who was also equipped with the Philosopher’s Stone, a rare and powerful compound, was converging to 0%.
Tsuzujeok.
When the stabilizer was injected into the flask.
The sparks that were occurring in the blue solution quickly died down.
It may look like you’ve simply poured in a stabilizer.
It was a sight that would make a high-ranking alchemist vomit out his flagship.
That would be the case.
-As expected, it’s Woolop. The timing and the amount of input are perfect!
So much so that it almost reminds me of a machine.
The timing and amount of tranquilizer that Shimun had just administered were perfect.
This was the same level as when the amount of seasoning added by eye in cooking was measured perfectly with a measuring tape.
“I survived in that world at level 1, so this is nothing.”
Actually, it wasn’t that big of a deal for Shimun.
The body, which becomes weaker by the day, can be seriously injured even by a small explosion of magical power.
It was a skill that could only be acquired naturally.
-Again! I told you, oppa, you lack self-awareness. At times like this, I just say, “I’m so great~!”
“… … Okay. I’m good, okay?”
-Wow! You did a great job!
“guy.”
Is it really that good to get the dosage of stabilizer just right?
Shimun let out a sly laugh at the philosopher’s stone, which had made him feel particularly excited.
Within.
Slurp.
A special container that holds the distilled liquid in advance.
The poem contained in the so-called potion bottle is a material item that has been refined in advance.
‘It was definitely two drops, wasn’t it?’
I dropped two drops of [Refined Basilisk Venom].
Cheeeeeee.
Carbonation popping.
Or the sound of oil splattering on the grill is heard nonstop.
In response, more bubbles were produced than the amount of blue solution, but only for a moment.
The bubble burst as quickly as it appeared.
“Now, all you have to do is mix it… … .”
The poem is reminiscent of a skilled bartender.
I held the neck of the potion bottle and rotated it naturally.
Then, the blue solution changed to blue and entered a stable state.
Boom.
Shimun blocked the entrance of the potion bottle with a special stopper he had prepared.
-Hey! Look at the colors! Oppa, this is really well made.
“yes?”
To an alchemist, creation is like his own child.

Shimun smiled happily and looked at the information about the potion he had created.
[Name not specified]
Grade: B+
– When taken, it removes the symptoms of magic hardening remaining in the body.
A treatment using specially refined poison based on ingredients with various magical properties.
The effect was maximized with high-level alchemy.
“Hmm. Good.”
A poem that nods with satisfaction.
There is also separate information in the item description.
Basically, when manufactured items go through a perfect manufacturing process, they are given a + in their grade.
Its efficacy is naturally much higher than that of the general grade.
If it’s a probabilistic effect, then it’s almost 100%.
If there are any side effects, they are almost completely eliminated.
‘Well, this time there’s no need to give it a + rating… … .’
In the case of a treatment for magic sclerosis, etc.
And there’s no probability option attached.
There was no need to obsess over the + grade because it had no other effects other than curing magic sclerosis.
only.
‘That’s because it’s a realm of pride.’
My current sense of satisfaction was due to my pride as someone who had dedicated my life to alchemy.
In particular, isn’t [Basilisk Venom], the key ingredient for making cures, notorious for being extremely difficult to handle?
Because refining a poison with the properties of paralysis and hardening into something with the opposite effect required a truly high level of skill.
Shimun looked at the green bottle and various materials placed on one side of the workbench with a satisfied face.
‘It won’t be lacking in making other elixirs either.’
Is this really worthy of a Diamond rank player?
The materials that Park Jin-wook sent were of high quality and abundant in quantity.
That must have been how desperate the desire was for a cure for magic sclerosis.
Shimun stretched his back, which had become stiff from making the remedy.
“Okay! I’ll make the other elixirs one by one. First, I need to give it a name.”
Naturally, there was no cure for magic sclerosis at this time.
The name of the treatment has not yet been decided.
Shimun touched the name of the treatment information window and entered the phrase ‘Magic Sclerosis Treatment’.
Tiring.
[You have created your first item.]
[You have achieved the achievement ‘I am the original!’]
[You earn 500 achievement points.]
Unlike usual, the system window popped up with a clear sound effect.
‘Come to think of it, there was an achievement of first production.’
Except in special cases.
When you create an item that can be used by players, you will earn the First Crafting achievement.
‘I think duplication was also possible there… … .’
I heard it on a broadcast from a famous production player before the return.
I vaguely remember hearing that the first production achievement is applied multiple times, not just once.
‘There are quite a few arena disease cures that haven’t been created yet.’
If you have 500 achievement points, you can get one Astraphe.
If you get that every time you achieve a first production achievement, it’ll be a pretty good deal.
‘I should make it little by little when I get the chance.’
That’s because Magical Hardening itself is a relatively mild arena disease.
Most arena ailments were cured by eating precious ingredients like a hippopotamus.
This is a business that will provide me with funds in the future, so I will take the time to produce it whenever I have the chance.
first.
‘I need to deliver the cure to the night hunter first.’
Shimun packed up his medicine and prepared to go out.
-Huh? Oppa, are you going to tell me right away?
“Oh. I got a call while I was making the cure earlier.”
Shimun, wearing his outerwear, turned on his cell phone.
There.
[Kim Si-hyuk: Hyung! I saw the broadcast! Is that Silver? It was really awesome. It was all about the damage… … .]
[Lee Yu-jeong: Brother, I enjoyed the broadcast! As expected from Brother… … .]
‘When did they send them again?’
Messages from the two younger brothers were piling up.
[Kim Si-moon: Okay. Okay.]
Shimun sent a reply mixed with emoticons to his two younger siblings and opened the message he had just checked.
[Park Jin-wook: Mr. Shimun, I found the person you requested.]
* * *
A spacious office with Seongsam’s logo.
“Manager Park, you can’t do this.”
The personnel department of Seongsam, one of the major guilds in Korea, was carrying out its usual routine today.
“So what? There are just the two of us.”
“Manager.”
“Stop it. Yeon-i, if someone hears me, they’ll think I’m doing something. I just held your hand.”
“So you caught the young lady!”
“Is it my fault? You opened the door without even knocking… .”
at that time.
Bam!
“Hey, Manager Park.”
He cut off Manager Park, who was touching Woo Yeon-hee’s hand.
The office door opened.
“What, Manager Woo was here too? It’s been a while.”
“It’s been a while, Manager Ahn.”
Is this really something befitting of a Diamond and Platinum rank player?
Park Min-cheol and Woo Yeon-hee, who had distanced themselves from each other, held each other’s hands instead.
I was fiddling with a thick document.
“An Ho-jin, what are you doing here?”
Park Min-cheol’s voice growls lowly.
At that, Ahn Ho-jin smiled, sweeping his deeply shaved head away.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a friend, so aren’t you being too harsh on me?”
It was a face that looked good with ample cheek fat.
“Stop talking nonsense and answer me.”
Park Min-cheol’s voice was still cold.
“Hey kid, you’re still the same.”
Hana An Ho-jin walked in without a single mistake and plopped down on the sofa.
His gaze turned to Woo Yeon-hee.
“Hey, Manager Woo. We have a guest. You should at least offer him a cup of coffee.”
“This kid… … .”
“I will prepare.”
Before Park Min-cheol could even react.
Woo Yeon-hee bowed her head and walked towards the steam room.
The corners of Ahn Ho-jin’s mouth deepened as he looked at her back.
“Wow! I’m still falling for it? If I were to awaken, I’d kill my body… … .”
“An Ho-jin.”
“Haha! It’s a compliment, a compliment. Isn’t awakening the dream of us ordinary people?”
But inside, I’ve already punched that unlucky face several times.
‘Disgusting little shit.’
Because I know very well that such expression of emotion is exactly what Ahn Ho-jin is aiming for.
Park Min-cheol simply clenched and unclenched his fist while repeating the character for patience several times.
Was his response wise?
“Tsk. After reaching Diamond Rank, people became so boring?”
A look of regret appeared on Ahn Ho-jin’s smiling face.
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me what’s important.”
“It’s urgent.”
An Ho-jin threw a document in front of me.
Not in front of Park Min-cheol, but right in front of himself.
Because I know exactly what this means.
‘You don’t plan on being nice, do you, you son of a bitch?’
Park Min-cheol chewed his lip and moved to the sofa opposite Ahn Ho-jin.
Before he could even pick up Ahn Ho-jin’s documents, he sat down.
“Inspector?”
I tilted my head when I saw the word ‘inspection report’ written in large letters at the top of the document.
“Why are you surprised? Are you not feeling anything?”
“Of course. Isn’t this yours?”
“Hahaha!”
An Ho-jin bursting out in laughter.
He winked at Woo Yeon-hee, who had brought out the coffee, and took a leisurely sip.
“Is it because a pretty girl is riding it? The coffee tastes different.”
“Stop talking nonsense. What is this?”
“What is it? It’s a police report as you can see.”
“An Ho-jin.”
“Okay, Inma. Stop staring. If you do, I’ll catch you. I’m just a regular person~.”
But the sight of him sipping more coffee was so disgusting.
Park Min-cheol just glared at him with sunken eyes.
“As you know, I am part of the Audit Department.”
A faint smile appeared on Park Min-cheol’s lips for the first time at Ahn Ho-jin’s words.
‘Because I’m from the audit department… … .’
That’s not wrong.
That damn motive was clearly the head of the audit department.
only.
“What about the Audit Department? It’s just the Chairman’s dog.”
Chairman of Seongsam.
My main job is to take care of all of Lee Soon-cheol’s aftermath.
“Oh, this guy? I’m the one who brought your police report.”
Even though Park Min-cheol’s words were quite humiliating.
“I think you’ve probably figured it out by now, but this is a message from the Chairman. Directly to you.”
An Ho-jin still just smiled smugly.
“To me? I’ve never done anything to make the Chairman dislike me.”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? There’s a rookie who’s been making a lot of noise lately.”
At that, Park Min-cheol’s eyes twitched slightly.
I’m sure he’s an ordinary person.
“I guess our Manager Park knew that too?”
An Ho-jin didn’t miss that small change.
“Then the story will be easier. Why didn’t you recruit him?”
“Is that the kind of thing you’re talking about? Sorry, but that’s not how we work.”
“Us? Are we making funny noises?”
An Ho-jin said, intertwining his thick fingers.
“You little brat. You’re a member of the Seongsam Guild, but you don’t even know who Seongsam’s owner is? Huh?!”
“The authority to appoint personnel at the Seongsam Guild lies entirely with Miss Lee Yu-jeong. It is something that the Chairman personally entrusted to her.”
“That crazy guy. If only the young lady had ordered him to leave that honey pot alone… … .”
“okay.”
“……what?”
An Ho-jin’s smile breaks for the first time.
He looked at Park Min-cheol with a blank expression.
“Park Min-cheol, what did you just say?”
“Are you deaf? Player Kim Si-moon said Miss Lee Yu-jeong instructed him to leave him alone.”
“under!”
An Ho-jin lets out a hollow laugh.
That’s understandable, since Lee Yu-jeong is only in charge of the guild’s personnel affairs in name only.
In fact, there was no one who did not know that Park Min-cheol was in charge of handling all internal affairs.
‘Miss Lee Yu-jeong… … .’
I didn’t expect this.
Looking at Ahn Ho-jin with such an expression on his face, Park Min-cheol threw the police report back.
“If you’re done talking, get out of here quickly. I’m busy.”
“Oh, you buddy! Even if it was the young lady’s order, you should have stopped him if he was hurting someone at the company.”
“It’s a guild, not a company.”
“That’s it, that’s it! Are you saying that because you don’t know why the chairman put you in that position? Miss, you’re 24 now!”
“This is a position I have earned through my ability, and I am willing to step aside whenever someone better than me comes. That is the motto of the Seongsam Guild.”
As if there was nothing left to deal with.
As Park Min-cheol got up, Ahn Ho-jin also got up from his seat.
“Are you really going to handle things like this?! It looks like you’re an orphan with no family!”
“I’m telling you the third time. This is something you personally instructed me to do.”
“That’s why! Why on earth would you listen to a young lady’s opinion? You’re only 24! You’re still a kid, you brat!”
“Guilds are different from regular businesses. The logic of power applies. Miss Lee Yu-jeong is the most powerful player in our guild.”
Park Min-cheol put his hand on Ahn Ho-jin’s shoulder, whose voice had suddenly become louder.
From a distance, it might seem like a common behavior between close male friends.
“If you don’t like it, An Ho-jin, you can just step on the girl. Don’t be noisy and raise your voice in someone else’s office.”
“profit!”
An Ho-jin’s face turned red as he received the force of the Diamond Player on his shoulder.
It can’t just be because of the force of the shoulder pressing down.
“T-Do you think you’ll be okay like this? Just because your head has grown a bit, have you forgotten who Seongsam’s master is?!”
“I know. But you’re not the chairman.”
Park Min-cheol laughs at Ahn Ho-jin and turns away.
“But since you have my full sincerity, leave the report behind. I will write it down… .”
bang!
An Ho-jin leaves the office before he even finishes speaking.
Woo Yeon-hee, who had been quietly watching from behind, opened her mouth.
“Is that okay? Manager Ahn, given your personality, I don’t think you’ll back out like this.”
“Well, I’ll tell the chairman and then go find player Kim Si-moon.”
“That’s why I’m asking. According to Secretary Kang Da-young, it seems like Player Kim Si-moon and the young lady have a special relationship… … .”
“What does it mean that he moved? We can’t stop him anyway.”
Park Min-cheol glanced at the report left on the table and waved his hand lightly.
OK.
Hwaruk.
A small flame rose from the corner of the police station.
“Why are you burning it? You said you would write a report?”
“It’s obvious that if you try it, you won’t need it.”
Park Min-cheol shrugged and took out his cell phone.
“Yeah, I guess so.”
Woo Yeon-hee nodded without saying anything.
Park Min-cheol, who put the cell phone to his ear, spoke shortly after.
“Yes, miss. I will.”
