Episode 107. How to tame a pet with stagnant water (3)
Warm it up to an appropriate temperature.
Or stimulate it with a special item.
Although you can usually use more than one method to hatch eggs.
Only one. As far as ‘ancient species’. There was no way to hatch it other than the one prescribed way.
‘thanks. For giving me this gift.’
Jinhyeok expressed his sincere gratitude.
At the same time, his fingertips headed for the black egg.
Then flinch. Anubis’s body trembled slightly.
I hope you will.
Of all the three eggs, I chose the best one.
It would be strange to regard it as a coincidence.
But Anubis only moved slightly. He didn’t seem too upset.
it is certain
While firmly believing that only humans would not know how to awaken the ancient species.
But what?
‘I know how to wake up the ancient species?’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned upward.
At least in this world, there are no variables that baffle or frustrate me. Even if the target is a great deity.
-Ancient species are not easy to come across, so little information about them exists. However, some secrets about the ancient species were revealed by the great explorer ‘Pesis’.
Is it some kind of geek?
Pesis loved to explore the tower.
Unlike ordinary residents, the curiosity about the other floors and the desire to find out about them were extraordinary.
And thanks to that pioneering move. Jinhyeok was able to figure out many secrets about the tower.
‘Actually, except for me and the deities, he’s the resident who knows the most about the tower.’
He’s probably on the 20th floor by now… but
I’ll have to see his face at least once later.
food.
Fortunately, Jinhyeok grabbed the black egg.
[Lv4 ‘Sympathy’ is activated.]
The ability to make people feel friendly even when they are seeing someone for the first time.
When she was in the labyrinth, the reason she kept Park Ha-na alive was to acquire this skill.
Whoa!
The bright light gently embraced the surface of the egg.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
The heart of something inside the egg began to beat rapidly.
“Hoo.”
Rick’s eyes narrowed as he watched.
The movement of the eggs of an ancient species that did not react was more than enough to draw everyone’s attention.
Jinhyuk took a breath.
‘Let’s stay calm.’
Attracting attention through rapport is just the beginning.
The important thing is to succeed in the subsequent processes without making a single mistake.
Jinhyeok activated the ‘sympathy’ skill and slowly stimulated the lower part of the egg with ‘glacial shaping’.
‘If I activate the protection of the stars at this timing…!’
A faint aura shimmered from the left side of the egg.
flinch! flinch!
Al’s reaction intensified.
‘okay. It’s so appetizing that I can’t stand it.’
Yes.
There is only one way to hatch and tame an ancient species. It attracts attention with mana, their main source of energy.
Of course, I couldn’t satisfy their desires with a fair amount of magical power.
It was simply because he was easily fed up with strong or gigantic mana.
‘I fully understand that feeling.’
No matter how delicious food is, if you eat it 365 days a year, you will be bitten.
Whether it’s chicken, pizza, or ramen, it’s all the same.
then.
‘I’ll train you with various types of magic.’
There is no bird to get tired of at a buffet filled with thousands of tens of thousands of dishes. Besides, if the buffet was first-class, it would be more attractive.
Jinhyeok manifested ‘Sword Grave’ and ‘Fire Element’ in sequence. Heavy, thick magic and hot magic tickled the egg.
flinch! flinch! flinch!
Now, as if the egg had been struck by lightning, it started to run amok.
From his point of view, it would be the same as having delicacies thrown right in front of his nose.
“Give up and leave.”
You know at this point?
‘There is no master who can satisfy you other than me.’
And let Jinhyeok activate the magic of ‘Taecheong Hwarang Simbeop’ and ‘Daylight’.
Crunchy!
Finally, cracks appeared on the egg’s surface.
“This can’t be…”
“I can’t believe it.”
“I never thought I would really hatch an ancient species.”
An exclamation filled with a complicated state of mind erupted from the mouths of the three deities.
“…”
Rick just stared blankly in his seat as if he had lost his words.
However, Jinhyeok focused his attention ignoring the shocking reactions.
The important thing now was not the deities, but to check what kind of ancient species came out of there.
after a while
“Kyao!”
The ancient bell that emerged from the egg gave a small roar.
Appearance resembling a reptile about 1m in size.
Her amber eyes flashed over her skin as black as obsidian.
gulp.
Dry saliva flowed down Jinhyuk’s throat.
‘Is this too sniping for my taste?’
no seriously. I want to run right now, hold her tightly in my arms and kiss her fiercely.
but i will have to be patient
Unless it was officially engraved yet, that guy was nothing more than an extremely dangerous ancient species.
If you carelessly touch or hug, the ending credits of your life will rise.
Jinhyeok focused the magic of the skills he had used so far on his fingertips.
Whoa!
The tangible magic power seemed to form a round shape, but soon it became a small glass bead.
“Kyao?”
The Ancient Bell sniffed and approached little by little.
Although he was wary, it seemed difficult to refuse the temptation given by the magic crystal.
“This is the first food I give you. If you want to be with me in the future, just eat this.”
“mosquito?”
The ancient servant tilted his head.
“It’s called feeding. food.”
“mosquito!”
“Yes, yes. Let’s do it with mosquitoes.”
If the other guy had told me, I would have blown a fireball.
For some reason, even every stupid way of speaking of the ancient species felt endearing.
Is this a mother’s heart?
Just then.
Bang!
The ancient species bit the food into its mouth.
[An ‘imprint’ will be engraved on the ancient species ‘???’.]
[If you decide on a name, the pet will show a higher level of loyalty to its owner.]
[The great achievement of taming the ancient species for the first time will be listed in the ‘Hall of Fame’ .]
[All beings in the tower pay attention to your achievements.]
[Ancient species and spirits to you…]
Countless status windows appeared one after another.
…done!
Jinhyeok called out joy inside.
In the past, I only fought against enemies. I failed to adopt him as a pet. I finally had that dream come true.
“mosquito!”
After the ancient paper swallowed the glass marble. I shuddered. Its short, stubby tail swayed from side to side.
This must mean it feels good.
Eat a lot and grow fast.
I’ll boil it down and feed Anubis who is crying over there later.
‘It seems that one is not enough.’
Jinhyeok created another magic crystal. And I looked at the scene of the ancient servant having a delicious meal.
by the way.
‘I said I should give it a name.’
To increase loyalty, you need a suitable nickname.
It’s always an ancient species, so you can’t call it a mosquito.
“Hmm…”
After thinking for a moment, Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth.
From the moment I first saw this guy. There was one name that came to mind.
Dark skin and bright yellow eyes.
“Let’s name it sweet potato.”
okay. A well-ripe roasted sweet potato goes well with it.
“Gokuma?”
“No sweet potato.”
“sweet potato!”
did you like it The sweet potato opened its mouth wide.
okay.
From now on, your name is Koguma.
＊＊＊
Time flies like crazy. Jinhyeok headed to the gate leading back to reality.
Horus, who was rejected by Jinhyeok, seemed quite regretful.
“If you ever change your mind, let me know. Egyptian deities always welcome you.”
Seeing him say this to the end, it seems that he is quite greedy.
Still, I don’t think the hawk eyes were attached as decorations.
When you look at a promising player.
“Thank you for liking it, but I don’t think my answer will change.”
Jinhyeok smiled and politely expressed his intention of refusal.
On the other hand, Anubis, who had taken a shot this time, was very angry, so he disappeared altogether.
Well, it must be difficult to hold back the resentment towards oneself.
Everything they planned went awry, and even the eggs of the ancient species were stolen.
finally.
“It was an interesting meeting again. I thought there would be no surprises to people, but should I say that my thoughts have changed a lot thanks to Jinhyeok-nim? I never imagined that there would be a player who could hatch and tame an ancient species.”
Rick came up to Jinhyeok and said goodbye.
“Because there are people who are a little special in this world.”
“haha. I think you’ve done something too absurd to use the modifier ‘a little’… But with that said, I’m looking forward to our next meeting. I’ll be waiting for you. I hope that day will come again soon.”
excitement and anticipation.
And beyond that. I felt a longing to see the future of a human being.
The librarian of the Grand Magic Library. As a member of the tower, not as the owner of the guild.
Just then.
[Middle manager ‘Rick Hennessy’ has ‘subscribed’ to your channel.]
[You have acquired 10000 coins.]
[The 90% commission rate will be reduced to 80%.]
A golden status window appeared.
“…uh?”
This time, even Jinhyeok was taken aback.
＊＊＊
Tower of Trials community.
Over 100,000 videos are uploaded every day. It is truly a hot place among hot places.
Of course, only a few of the many videos were worth salvaging.
‘It’s nice to have some. damn it There are far more times when I’m in the middle of the day.’
Choi Hee-jae, a PD at KDS and the director of the ‘Climbing the Tower of Trials’ program, was devastated that he hadn’t been able to get even a mediocre video despite staying up all night.
The number of coffee cups piled on the table seemed to represent his anxiety.
at that time.
rattle!
“Senior Seo. Are you still not at work?”
The door opened and a woman in a suit with long straight hair entered.
It was Kim Down, who was in charge of the same program.
“What should I pick up to go to work? don’t go to the sauna This week has been completely open.”
“Is that enough?”
“I’m not saying I’m sick. It even makes my son, who is in kindergarten, turn the channel. The advance party has risen to the 6th floor, but most of the videos of goblins and orcs on the 1st floor are still on the 1st floor, so will the viewers pay attention?”
greater stimulation.
More flashy and tense action.
I need something like this.
To captivate viewers whose peripheral nerves are thickly trained.
“Thanks to the overflow of these useless videos, the broadcasters can’t enter the house. get in! hey. Seriously, my kid saw me and asked why the man next door asked me to come home? At this rate, I would believe that my wife is a hermaphrodite!”
Choi Hee-jae, who was lamenting his life like a rapid-fire gun, massaged his eyes with his index finger.
In the meantime, Daun Kim moved the mouse.
“Uh… Senior. Did you see this?”
“I saw everything. Overnight. Have you listened to me all this time?”
“Is this the video that was just uploaded?”
“what?”
Heejae Choi jumped up from his seat at Daun Kim’s words.
Really.
Resurrection of an ancient species.
And the first player to be subscribed by the manager.
Two ridiculously large rice cakes were thrown.
Thanks to that, the bulletin board was in a state on the verge of running out of control due to the viewers who were hooked.
“What crazy!”
Choi Hee-jae grabbed the monitor with both hands.
He almost head-butted the monitor trying to make sure he saw it correctly.
“Two people posted this! Recruit right now! If it’s a budget, I’ll try to pull it somehow through the director. got it? If that doesn’t work, maybe kidnap them! Eh!”
Choi Hee-jae urgently shouted.
however.
“Senior Seo.”
Daun Kim’s voice trembled slightly as he checked the information.
“This is for one person.”
