chapter 20
Item: Crude horn bow (level 3).
Bonus Attack Power: 15-20.
Effect: Archery level +1, accuracy increase.
A bow made from materials found on the island. Although it is a crude skill, the archetype of the bow called Gakgung is excellent and offsets the crudeness to some extent.
The bow I made with woodcraft was made into an item. And the woodworking skill soared to 4, perhaps as a reward for making the item.
“This is an active skill.”
After thinking about it, I decided to try using 90% of my mana. Just like the last time I made a manamok wooden sword.
So, I made the Gakgung again with the feeling that it was made by pouring mana. Ah, the reason why it is Gakgung seems to be because the bow I mainly looked for is Gakgung.
It took about ten hours to make the gakgung with so much effort. It feels like doing something takes this time.
“Voila!”
A much more advanced Gakgung was made than the crude Gakgung made earlier.
Item: Manawood Horn Bow (Level 7).
Bonus Attack Power: 40-75.
Effect: Archery level +2, Accuracy rate greatly increased, rate of fire increased.
A bow made from materials found on the island. It is not perfect because there is no water buffalo horn, which is the main material of each bow, but it is made with the skill of a well-established craftsman. High mana conductivity.
What was made this time was not a crude Gakgung, but a Manamok Gakgung. A whopping level 7 item.
“I’ll give the sloppy guy a good guy.”
I decided to bestow the crude Gakgung on Seonwoo. To say it’s big doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain ingredients, but it’s something I should be proud of because I originally made it. And since it was called crude, I also thought that it would not be viewed as special.
“Since you got a kid like this, you should try hunting, right? white night. Go and get one. A little weaker than you.”
Kroop!
The Midnight Sun went straight into the forest at my words and came out a little later. But the shape is strange. The Midnight Sun did not bring the prey, but the Midnight Sun was being driven out. I focused on the guy who was chasing the white night straight after the arrow was eaten by each bow. and put on a protest.
pop!
What the Midnight Sun dragged out was the Minotaur, which is often found in fantasy novels. A hole the size of a 500 won coin was pierced between the eyes of the Minotaur. And I just went crazy.
***
Nyangnyangnyang! Kroop! Kroop!
A loud noise wakes me up. I’m just starting to figure out how this situation came to be. I made a bow and fired an arrow as hard as I could because I thought the midnight sun would be dangerous. What happened? It seems my mana has gone to 0. I wondered if anything special would happen if my MP points went to 0, but I let go. And after I came to my senses, I checked various things, and my archery was level 6, and my level rose to 23. I invested the remaining 15 points into the spirit. Thanks to that, my spirit went up to 45, and my MP points also went up to 450.
“But that guy.”
I saw information about the Minotaur. It’s a level 29 mob, and what’s surprising is that it’s an edible mob.
“Wow, you can eat real bovine heads?”
It doesn’t end there. Eating this guy doesn’t give you ability points, it’s that skills are created when you first consume it. But it says it’s random.
“You mean I have to eat this?”
quite reluctant However, if you eat it, a skill is created. So what do you do? You have to eat.
“Should we bake it first? normally?”
I was conflicted for a while about which part of the Minotaur to eat. Since it resembles a cow, is it better to eat the head? Or just ribs? Or a leg?
In the end, my choice was the tail. Because the tail was the least burdensome. But there was something interesting.
“Baekya, did your level go up?”
White Night, originally a white tiger, was level 25. But this time, I leveled up while catching the Minotaur and reached level 26.
“Hoya, do you like tail gomtang?”
I don’t know because I’ve never eaten it. However, I heard that it is also used as a health food. I heard that it is good for cats and dogs who lack energy. I think it might be because it doesn’t contain salt. Because it is good for people too.
I changed my mind to grilling, and turned to tail gomtang. After butchering the Minotaur’s tail, he ordered the Midnight Sun to dump the carcass into the forest, but he pondered for a while.
“If other kids eat that, will he develop skills too?”
I had a sudden thought. If that’s the case, if you throw it away in the forest, it’s like raising an enemy. Will Hoya and White Night develop skills when they eat this? I’m curious about this, so I’ll give it a try. The body may then be disposed of.
I diligently put 90% mana into all my cooking skills and cooked. Because mana was already filled up while leveling up. Full recovery after level up is originally a national rule. If you touch this, you’re right.
I made the fire strong and simmered the tail gomtang for five hours. Then, the original Minotaur’s tail changed beyond recognition. And it became a clear soup like milk.
“This subtly whets the appetite.”
I tasted the tail gomtang, picked chives and various vegetables, and made seasonings. I didn’t even make kimchi because I thought it wasn’t time to make kimchi yet.
“Hoya, if our world perishes, we can come and live here, right?”
Nyaang?
“Why is the world falling apart? Indeed, it is. It’s been years since Gate was created, but the world hasn’t changed much. From the gate…”
puck!
Suddenly Hoya hit me on the muzzle.
“what!”
Nyan Nyang! Nyaannyangnyang!
“Don’t be cubic? Did you hit your dad? Can I speak?”
Well, the words don’t work. And when you urgently shut your mouth, it’s best to hit the muzzle.
“okay. I will not tremble.”
Originally, the cubic tablet should not tremble. For example, if you say something like ‘Are you dead?’ So, cubic is not good. Even though I knew it well, I did a cubic tablet.
“Well done. But are you in a lot of pain?”
Nyaang?
pretend not to know I’ll see you this time I don’t think I can beat Hoya even if I don’t care.
“let’s eat!”
I set the table. He set a table for Hoya, and also set a table for White Night. The food for the two guys was specially cooled and prepared. Unlike humans who are good at eating hot things, cats and children shouldn’t eat hot things. Well, it seems to be the case for most people except humans.
“eat.”
After seeing Hoya and Baekya eating deliciously, I dipped rice in soup and ate a bite.
“Wow, aren’t the ingredients in this world no joke?”
What if it’s a minotaur, and what if it’s a minnow. It just needs to be tasty. They actually look like humans, but they’re not even humans.
After eating all the rice without hesitation, a notification pops up.
-Skill Fear (Active) Level 1 has been created.
An active skill called Fear was created. Looking at the description, it says that it is a skill that causes fear in the opponent. Of course, people who don’t know would want to see something like this, but I’m not. In many games, the skill called ‘Fear’ is a very useful skill. That’s why I was very satisfied with the skill created. And I looked at Hoya and White Night. Then, it was seen that the skills were created for them as well.
The newly created skill for Hoya was Smite. Described as delivering a powerful blow to the opponent. I thought it wouldn’t be a joke if I used it in conjunction with Nyan Cat Punch.
“Well, even without that it would be powerful enough.”
Among the hunters, if the strongest hunter is about level 20, then I am already stronger than most hunters. But what about Hoya? I am no match. First of all, the ability is overkill.
And the turn of the midnight sun.
As White Night changed from temporary tamed to fully tamed, information was updated on the status window. Looking at the status window of White Night.
[White Night (Level 26)]
Owner: Siwoo Choi.
Strength: 50, Dexterity: 56, Intelligence: 17, Spirit: 20, Stamina: 63, Sense: 40.
Skills: Ferocity (Passive) 8 levels, Leap (Active) 4 levels, Claw (Active) 6 levels, Fear (Active) 5 levels, Sprint (Active) 1 level.
The new skill seemed to be that level 1 sprint. Midnight’s abilities seem to be specialized for combat. Strength, Min, and body are high, but intelligence and spirit are rather low. Even so, it is much higher than the average person.
“Wasn’t it the guy who did our midnight sun? By the way, you haven’t been sprinting until now?”
Come to think of it, that was a bit odd too. However, if the system says so, then it seems to be the case.
“With this, I learned that eating this will create a skill, so let’s bury it in the ground.”
Until now, when I caught monsters, the bodies were thrown into the forest. At first, I wondered what to do, but Hoya ordered Baekya to do so. So after that I didn’t really care. But I thought that this guy couldn’t handle it like that.
And another experiment.
The leftover tail gomtang is to be fed to the family tomorrow. If so, will the family members whose status windows are not open develop skills? Or will it not happen?
“Because there is nothing wrong with it. Right, Hoya?”
Nyaang?
What a bullshit look. Well, I didn’t tell Hoya what I was thinking, so that’s normal.
I spent the rest of my time working on the farm again, taking care of the chicken farm and taking a break. Even after resting and waking up, there are still about ten hours until morning.
“Shall we go fishing?”
I have never fished since the first time I came here. Since my father likes fish, I thought I should go fishing and catch some.
“Today is fishing!”
Isn’t this a true urban fisherman? After coming here from home and fishing, is this a reasonable thing to do in the middle of Seoul?
“Long live the gate!”
Gates has improved my quality of life overall. It can be said that it has become a very satisfying life.
I’ve been fishing for a while and caught several fish. I also caught a rainbow fish, and I caught a few fish, but there was no other fish that raised my stats like the rainbow fish. Instead, there were fish that replenished energy or replenished physical strength.
In a word, it is good for the body. After packing those things in the icebox and packing a lot of things like pineapples and watermelons, I headed to the place where black beans grow. When I first came here today, it wasn’t ready to harvest, so I’m here now.
And when I saw black beans, I couldn’t help but feel vague.
-You used the Observation skill.
Unnamed: Island Black Bean.
Black beans grown on the island. It is very rich in protein and very high in nutrients. It strengthens the hair.
I wanted a hair growth effect, but it wasn’t that far.
“Is it ambiguous?”
I was thinking about how to use this.
