393. Insulation
“One cup of ice stamina, three cups of ice magic, please.”
“All right. Do you need anything more?”
“I want you to order dessert too. With sweet rolls and blueberry muffins!”
“An extra order of spicy rolls and cacao muffins.”
“Wow! I ordered the exact opposite!”
Shortly after the bet ended, Kang Seung-hyun and his party were taking a break at a nearby cafe.
“As expected, rich neighborhoods are different.”
Lee Ji-ah, who was sitting at the table, sighed and muttered.
“In Korea, every step I took was a cafe.”
“That’s right. In Hind Village, it’s expensive to order something with ice in it.”
Now, cafes have become a rare facility that can only be found in rich big cities that cannot be found in rural areas such as Hind Village.
“What do you do with the money? Even if you want to have an iced americano after work, you need a place that sells it to buy it.”
“Then how about growing coffee? It seems that there are coffee beans in Azul Continent as well.”
“Mr. Hojeong, I want to enjoy a leisurely cup of iced americano at a cafe. I don’t want to be self-sufficient.”
“Sorry…”
“Aside from that, isn’t this neighborhood too uncomfortable?”
Lee Ji-ah talked with a disgruntled face until the drink she ordered arrived.
“This place closes at 7pm. They don’t even deliver late night meals. If you order one item, it takes several days, so it’s faster if I go myself! Crucially, there is no internet!”
I don’t know the exact age, but it seems that there are many complaints about being dragged to Azul Continent at a time when I was supposed to enjoy college life.
“that’s right. I want to get used to it, but in the end, I want to be in a different world.”
Kim Ho-jeong sighed and muttered.
“I probably won’t get used to it for the rest of my life.”
Unlike those who enjoyed it, such as Kang Seung-hyun and Alec, ordinary people like Lee Ji-ah and Kim Ho-jeong missed life in Korea very much.
“It can’t be helped.”
Just as Koreans are foreigners no matter how long they live in a foreign country, no matter how long they live in Azul, they will always be foreigners.
“The drinks and desserts you ordered are here.”
At that time, the cafe staff brought the drinks and food we ordered earlier to our seats.
“Eh? Aren’t we supposed to go get it?”
“Kim hyung, this is the Azul Continent. Bring it over there.”
Azul Continent has a strict class system, so even if you order at a cafe, they usually bring you a seat.
“Ah, what if I can’t adapt after returning to Korea?”
“What are you worried about?”
“Ah, is that so? I have to worry about going back.”
“It’s enough if you’re just a real guest.”
“Is that the sound!”
Kang Seung-hyun, who had been listening to the conversation between the three, said while eating a spicy roll.
“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”
“what?”
“The idea of making Hind Village into a Korean town on the Azul Continent.”
“what?”
At those words, Kim Ho-jung shouted with a startled face.
“What about Korean Town? A village where there are Korean restaurants on the streets and Koreans live together?”
“Since I properly promoted the Healer Agency this time, dimension movers won’t be crowded. Then, it is only a matter of time before Hind Village becomes a Korean settlement.”
Of course, Hind Village is a dangerous area full of monsters in all directions, so it is not a good village to live in.
However, if the people living in the village were dimension movers, they would wipe out all those monsters, so it wouldn’t be a problem.
“Rather, wouldn’t it be the safest neighborhood in the Azul continent?”
“Oh, the villagers will like it too?”
When the monsters are cleared, the land they are playing on can be reclaimed and converted into rice fields or dwellings. When the village is safe, there will be more outside visitors even if they are not dimension movers, so the village’s income will increase.
“then! Maybe someone will open a cafe?”
Lee Ji-ah, who was next to her, also asked with her eyes shining, and Alec answered with a calm face.
“Did you forget Miss Alba? Coffee is Korea’s stamina potion. There’s no way it won’t happen.”
“Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!”
“Anyway, the important thing is that we need to increase the number of dimension movers who will settle down and live in Hind Village.”
First of all, the number of Koreans residing in the village must increase for a Korean atmosphere to emerge.
“Then it would be more important to recruit dimension movers from the crafting system rather than the combat system.”
“And I thought about it, and I thought that there should be at least one Korea Town.”
Currently, Kang Seung-hyun’s top priority is to kill the manager.
“First of all, I plan to process it after obtaining the dimensional coordinates to Earth, but maybe there will be a situation where I have to kill right away before getting the coordinates. For example, he wants to get rid of the status window.”
“Come to think of it, I don’t know what will happen to the status window if the manager disappears… Will it remain as it is?”
“If someone takes the place of the manager, it won’t disappear until you know it.”
The status window is also gone, but if you can’t get the coordinates, the way to return to Earth is virtually gone.
“If I’m not going to be able to go for the rest of my life, I want to have a place where I can feel the atmosphere of Korea.”
“I didn’t know that you thought of dimension movers this much.”
“Then I can order and eat Korean food near my house, and it’s nice.”
“Is that the purpose?”
In other words, it means that Kang Seung-hyun’s plan is to prepare in advance because he does not know what will happen later.
“But how long are you going to hide your name?”
“As long as we stay here, we must continue. Then, wouldn’t you be curious and visit Hind Village?”
A person who never listens to what others want.
That is Kang Seung-hyun.
“okay. Then I’ll have to take out my last name and call you Sensei.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to keep calling him Healer hyung without his last name.”
“Cheolhyun, you didn’t call me by your first name.”
Since Kang Seung-hyun keeps his name private, his colleagues also naturally hide their names.
“Then I’ll call you Warden. It’s strange to keep walking around, and you’re going to set up an agency sooner or later anyway.”
“Please.”
However, if you think about it carefully, there was no big problem because Lee Ji-ah was the only person who could properly call Kang Seung-hyun’s name.
“Anyway, what I felt from this fight is that I need to get a proper weapon quickly.”
“weapon? Even without that, we fought well.”
“Yes, but it was inefficient.”
Fighting with bare fists was of course because I kept using [origin] and [out focus] to maintain the black mist dagger in the early fights, and my stamina was cut off.
“We pulled aggro properly this time, so from now on, some strong guys will come.”
“I guess so.”
“So if I don’t become stronger than now…”
“I might lose.”
“You won’t be able to play with your opponent.”
“Is it normal to win?”
“of course.”
Kang Seung-Hyun’s philosophy of survival No. 31 No. 32.
[Fighting is not about winning.]
[Winning is natural, and the real purpose is to piss off the opponent.]
“As you can see from the last hoodie, higher dimension movers have contracts with apostles or use holy relics. There are many.”
“I must use disbelief.”
“I’d have to use this guy for that.”
Kang Seung-hyeon took out the mysterious mineral pektosite.
An ancient mineral passed down only in legends.
It’s important to find out information about this guy, but more than anything, I don’t think there’s anyone among the citizens of Azul who can handle this properly.
“I’m going to leave this to the dimension mover blacksmith. I don’t think I can handle it unless I’m a skilled blacksmith.”
In fact, the reason Kang Seung-hyeon wanted to turn Hind Village into a Korean town was to have a dimension mover nearby to manage his weapons.
“Well, first of all, let’s go to Hind Village and discuss this slowly.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s rest first.”
“Ah, did you achieve any new achievements this time?”
“Achievement? Come to think of it…”
Kang Seung-hyun checked the status window.
I’ve done 10 consecutive beatings with dimension movers before, but this is the first time I’ve done just one action.
[Achievement Achievement: Liberation of the Apostle]
[Achieved when the contract between God and the apostle is broken.]
“I knew it would happen.”
Originally, the only thing that can break the apostle contract is the divine being who is the contracting party, but Kang Seung-hyun ignored the condition and succeeded in breaking the apostle contract, albeit temporarily, with the power of [Supernova].
Thanks to you, I think I succeeded in achieving my achievements.
“That counts as an achievement?”
“I guess so. Normally, an apostle contract cannot be escaped by human power without God’s permission, but I broke it at will.”
I don’t know who the god who signed the contract with the hoodie is, but I’m sure he’s sharpening his teeth at Kang Seung-hyun by now.
‘Of course, it’s none of my business.’
[Receipt of reward]
‘Then what would you like me to give you?’
Seunghyun Kang pressed the reward button.
[Praise for achieving an achievement that ordinary people cannot easily achieve]
[I will give you a skill derived from your essence.]
The status window judged that this was not an ordinary achievement. Skill paid.
[Acquisition of special skill ‘Isolation’!]
Insulation.
It is a word that usually has two meanings.
One is to stop electricity or heat from passing through, and the other is to cut ties with someone.
The effect of this skill, which seems to have been inspired by the second explanation, is as follows.
[Isolation]
[The power to sever ties with each other.]
[Destroys or cancels all contract curses, buffs, brainwashing blessings, etc.
] It was a terrifying skill to unlock.
