chapter 4
I watched my family with interest. However, I did not see anything special about the three of them. Perhaps, like me, the message doesn’t appear unless you open the status window inside the gate. But all of those things were just fine.
because?
Because it’s delicious.
“Wow. Was wild boar this delicious? Great pumpkin!”
Siyeon ate the meat while making a fuss. Seeing such a demonstration makes me smile without even realizing it. Siyeon and I are siblings of the same age. Maybe that’s why I feel more like a nephew than a younger sister.
“What about school?”
“What?”
“Are you studying well?”
“Am I your brother? Of course I work hard…”
“Are you playing?”
“Are you a ghost?”
I studied well. I didn’t get into the so-called sky university, but I entered the university right below it with bad grades and graduated with not bad grades.
And while trying to work for his father’s company, his father’s business collapsed and he got a job at the company now. It was the best I could go for at the time.
“But how did you find Hoya?”
After thinking about it for a while, I said. We decided to put off talking about the gate for now. Because there is no guarantee that the inside of the gate is safe. Later, when safety is guaranteed, I think I should think about taking my family into the gate at that time.
“He came home yesterday.”
At my words, Siyeon lifted up Hoya and hugged her tightly.
“This guy! If I run away from now on, I’ll be scolded!”
Nyaang?
Hoya cried as if she didn’t like something, but Siyeon didn’t seem to understand because her voice was so cute.
“Oh gu oh gu, my Hoya, did Dad make you sad? Are you scolded by your grandmother?”
Nyaang.
Hoya acted cute to her mother and soon came to me. I’ve been living alone for a while, so I must have been very lonely.
“He only knows his real father, heung.”
Si-yeon said it with a smile, but the whole family just laughed. After the wild boar meat party, I went back to my room and lay down on the bed. Then Hoya cut my arm and sat down.
“Hoya, what shall we do in the future?”
Looking at the uniqueness of an island, I thought that there would be no particular resource. The island itself is not as big as Jeju Island. Thinking maybe not. That’s why I think it would be difficult to think of making money with the gate’s resources like other gate owners.
Nyaang?
“Well, I didn’t even think about making money at the gate in the first place. Just like the first thought, let’s learn life skills and live well. That’s right, do you want to farm there?”
Nyan Nyang Nyang.
Hoya made a humming sound as if he liked my arms and hugged him deeper into my arms. I fell asleep while petting Hoya.
***
“Hook hook hook!”
“Ho-ho-ho-ho!”
“Hey!”
I was awakened by the noise of my family. I thought I should go out to see what the fuss was going on in the morning. so you come out
“What are you doing?”
My father was holding weights, my mother was jumping, and Si-yeon was holding a wooden sword. Siyeon has been practicing kendo for a long time, to the point where she is a representative athlete at school. My parents also liked sports originally, but is there any reason to do this from the morning?
“Strangely, it seems that energy is just springing up.”
father’s words.
“I feel 20 years younger.”
mother’s words.
“Looks like I’m going to go black soon.”
Crazy Siyeon’s words.
“Suddenly?”
“Oh, I heard you wake up? I think your mom and Siyeon are like that too. Aren’t you?”
that the energy rises. With that said, I could think of something.
It’s wild boar meat.
“okay? That’s a good thing.”
I pretended not to know.
“It seems that the meat you brought is not ordinary meat. Could it be the meat brought from the gate? Ask a friend of yours.”
As a man who had been in the business for a long time, my father had excellent insight.
“Maybe. Let me ask you one more time.”
“Yes, give the person who gave you such a valuable gift at least a gift.”
“Yes, Father.”
After having breakfast with my family, I set off for home.
***
The luck given to me did not come from me doing anything. But that’s no reason to turn away from luck. So as soon as I got home, I faced the luck given to me again.
“let’s go!”
Nyaang!
Fortunately, Hoya had no objection to crossing the gate. I wondered if it might be possible, but I didn’t hesitate to go to the gate as it was with me in my arms.
When I came over to the gate like that, the inside didn’t change much. Considering that the time outside and here is 1:5, a considerable amount of time must have passed, but there were no damaged items.
“Should I read a book?”
Nyaang?
At my words, Hoya grabbed my collar and pulled me to the place where the fishing rod was.
“Let’s go fishing? Hoya, do you want to eat fish?”
Nyan!
“Yeah, but I don’t know if Dad will do well. I went often with my father when I was young, but he did most of it.”
Still, I was able to imitate the casting by inserting the bait, perhaps because I had this thread. There was a reel attached to the fishing rod, and this would be a mechanical device, but it worked for some reason. With the fishing rod hanging down like that, I opened the book. It’s a book that came out in the past, and it’s not a healing water that the main character goes back and forth between the gate and reality to become rich and live happily.
The main story is that the gate invasion begins because of the main character, and the main character is sweating his feet to stop it.
“Hoya, are there monsters here too?”
Nyaang?
“So, not deer boars, but monsters.”
At my words, Hoya tilted her head and looked in one direction.
“What, what! Are you there?”
Nyaang!
It seems to do so.
“There are really monsters here? Nothing in particular is known about the monsters still living in the gate…”
Are monsters only here? I don’t think so. Of course, there are many hypotheses that every gate is not all in one place. Because each gate has a different environment, such a hypothesis was born. But I didn’t think that if monsters existed, they would only be here.
“Perhaps someone hid the information.”
Why? There may be many reasons, but there is one reason for many things in the world.
right money.
I think there must have been a problem where monsters became money, or when monsters became known, money didn’t work.
“So, is that monster dangerous?”
Nyaang.
He shook his head as if he was not Hoya and rubbed his head against me.
“Well, you’re not a max level rabbit… but a max level cat. I’m not perfect though. Didn’t Dad make you sad?”
Nyan Nyang Nyang!
more than a lot I turned my gaze back to the book. If there were monsters and they were really dangerous, could Hoya survive alone? Thinking like that makes me feel a little better. The feeling of accidentally crossing the gate and getting a max level fat for free. Originally, Tamer’s national rule is not to attack with the body!
While I was reading the book, the jji moved.
“yap!”
I made up my mind and pulled the fishing rod, but the fish was pulled to the point of futility.
“Hey, I seem to have a talent for fishing.”
did you hear me?
-Fishing (active) level 1 skill has been created.
The system responded. It was the moment when I finally got another life skill.
After observing the fishing skill, a simple explanation came out that it makes you good at fishing. Just looking at it, I couldn’t see anything other than that.
“Let’s see. What is it?”
I looked at the fish I caught for a long time.
-You used the Observation skill.
Unnamed: Rainbow Fish.
It is a fish that lives on the coast of an island. The flesh is chewy and very tasty. Intelligence increases by 3 when consumed for the first time. If you continue to consume it after that, your intelligence will increase by 1 each time you eat a certain amount.
Rainbow Fish.
As the name suggests, it is a rainbow-colored fish. It has a visual that makes you reluctant to eat it just by looking at it. However, if you look at the description, you must eat it unconditionally. Because that’s how I get smart.
“But do all the creatures here raise their stats like this?”
Nyaang?
Hoya looks at me as if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Will Hoya see the status window? Can you read it even if you see it? I suddenly had such a thought.
“Let’s eat sashimi!”
Nyan!
I laughed at Hoya’s happy cries.
“But can I have a party? I saw a lot of what my father did. Let’s try it.”
Hoekal has already been prepared. Seonwoo, who was thorough in preparation, sold these as well. No, I don’t know if I bought it because I wasn’t ready, but because I was a hukou, but anyway, among the things he recommended, there might be useless things… but it’s still okay. Because you’re my only friend
I scraped the scales off the rainbow fish and carefully started sashimi. Surprisingly, I seem to have a knack for opening sashimi. that’s when
– Your dexterity has risen by 1.
-Skill Cooking (Active) Level 2 has been created.
“OMG! I think I can be a loving husband, Hoya.”
These days, men who are good at cooking are the trend, but I think I can become one too. In fact, cooking skill is a life skill I was aiming for. Of course I thought it would be possible. What was unexpected was that it started from level 2, but it was probably the sum of the experience gained from cooking while living alone.
“Now, eat first.”
Hoya began to enjoy the rainbow fish meat I cooked. And I also took a bite.
“Wow, it turned.”
They said it was chewy and delicious, but it was no joke. I hurriedly set the bait and cast again. And he shared the remaining sashimi with Hoya. I didn’t feel like I had become a smarter person for some reason because my intelligence went up by 3.
“Well, if I put it this way, if your intelligence is around 100, wouldn’t you be Einstein?”
I started fishing again while thinking stupid thoughts. Today, I will end it with fishing.
However, I could still feel that my fishing skills were insignificant. I’ve been fishing for about three hours, but I haven’t caught a single one.
“I am a man who gives up quickly.”
I gave up cleanly and returned to base camp. It’s time to set up the big tent today. It was a large tent that Sunwoo sold with a twinkle in his eyes, saying that he should never buy this for a whopping 2 million won.
It is almost the same size as the field barracks I saw when I was in the army. Still, I was intrigued and bought this. You might ask if you could build a log house here, but do it. Does that seem easy? So I tried to replace it with a modern item.
After setting up the tent like that, my dexterity went up by 1 again. Surprisingly, I feel like this ability is rising well.
“Ah, is it below the standard?”
when you think about it
haha!
Hoya went into battle mode.
