Episode 17
Finally, I returned to the subspace after giving 50 million won as allowance. Since I had initially planned to give 50 million won, I gave it with a happy heart. “Here are three seeds. I wanted to give more, but I heard that the rest had already been disposed of,” Yoojeong said, keeping her promise and bringing the seeds of the Aurora Tree. Actually, I was planning to receive only one, but I received three. Even so, she apologized for only giving a small amount. “Meow.” As soon as I entered the subspace, Milk came running and jumped into my arms. It seems like Milk felt very lonely because I had been busy delivering cabbages today and couldn’t take care of him properly. When I looked at his food bowl, it seemed like he had eaten well. “Milk, do you want to eat yogurt?” “Meow.” I went to the camping box to take out the yogurt, but Milk playfully poked my pocket. “Huh? Why are you doing that?” I asked, poking my pocket and took out its contents. It was the Aurora seeds that I received from Yoojeong. “Did you recognize this?” I asked Milk as I placed the seeds in front of him. Milk let out a positive meow and lightly licked the seeds. So it’s true? These seeds are obviously special. After feeding Milk with yogurt, I redirected my gaze to Kan. Kan was enjoying the cream bread and chocolate milk that I bought. Huh? I hid those to eat later, didn’t I? “Hey, how did you find that?” “It was in the camping box.” He replied with cream all over his mouth. “If you were going to eat it, why didn’t you tell me, you little rascal?” I took out a handkerchief and wiped Kan’s mouth, grabbing his lips. “Ack! Let go of me!” Kan shouted in surprise. Ignoring him, I held his lips for another one or two seconds before letting go. “But more importantly, do you know what this is?” I presented the Aurora seeds in front of Kan, who was wiping his lips. Kan’s eyes turned green. “…These are Aurora seeds, right?” “Tell me what their effects are.” “Sure. The Aurora tree is a tree that receives the love of fairies and emits a blessing’s energy.” “Blessing’s energy?” “Yes! It gives mysterious power to trees and plants that receive its blessing’s energy.” “Wow, is that so?” A year ago, an A-Class gate appeared. The hunters collected a large amount of seeds found in the center of the gate. By chance, I obtained information that without the protection of fairies, the seeds could not sprout. So I asked Yoojeong to get me Aurora seeds. I decided to plant those seeds near the Aoar Tree.
A few days later, Woojin visited Zeus Guild on time. “Welcome!” Jo Hoyun was waiting for him in front of the building. “Long time no see.” “Yes. Shall we go inside?” “Sure.” As expected of a top-ranked guild, the building was very luxurious. It was a 65-floor building that seemed luxurious to the point of being extravagant. It had a restaurant, buffet-style dining hall, fitness club, swimming pool, cafe, training room, mana practice room, and so on. There was nothing they didn’t have. The interior was also lavishly designed… How much did it cost to build all this? It seemed that the words saying that large guilds make astronomical amounts of money were indeed true. Jo Hoyun guided Woojin to the meeting room. A man with a Western appearance was sitting in the main seat. He was Nammgoong Hyeok, the owner of the guild. He stood up and extended his hand with a gentle smile. “Welcome. I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m the guildmaster of Zeus Guild, Nammgoong Hyeok.” “Yes. I’m Baek Woojin.” “Let’s sit down for now.” Woojin took his seat. Jo Hoyun sat across from him, and the three of them engaged in casual conversation, breaking the tense atmosphere. During their conversation, Woojin quietly admired. It was unusual for an ordinary person to maintain dignity while leading the conversation with a pleasant atmosphere, just like a guildmaster should. “Now, shall we talk about the trade?” It was time to get to the main point. “Yes. I understand.”
