BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69
As always, Hayun was watching Kang-jun.
“You woke up.”
But Hayun felt different from before.
Her eyes had become much clearer.
Her skin was shining in an unusual manner.
However, it wasn’t just her appearance. There seemed to be something mysterious about her.
Perhaps it was due to the increase in abilities given because of Kang-jun’s achievements.
Kang-jun asked,
"Do you feel like something’s changed?”
"Of course. I saw the message too.”
Hayun smiled.
[Your abilities have risen as a result of Lord Lucan’s achievements.]
[Your fighting power in Hwanmong and reality has greatly increased.]
[In owned and occupied territories, your fighting power will become even higher.]
[You have acquired cooking skills.]
These were the messages that appeared in front of Hayun in reality.
"Hwanmong? Then your abilities in reality have risen significantly?”
"Yes. My power has become stronger.”
Hayun told him excitedly. Kang-jun grinned.
Then it was very good.
Hayun had the duty of protecting Kang-jun’s body while he was in Hwanmong.
Since her fighting power had increased, particularly in the owned and occupied territories, Kang-jun would be able to sleep comfortably.
"But what are the cooking skills?”
"I don’t know yet. I wanted to ask you that.”
"Then go and cook a dish. Anything is fine.”
Kang-jun had an idea. If Hayun gained cooking skills from his achievements then it wasn’t simply cooking delicious food.
Maybe it would have a buff effect like the garlic bread he ate in Hwanmong.
At that time, the fragrant garlic bread increased his physical damage for 90 minutes.
Kang-jun felt that cooking skills were required for Hayun to produce such special foods.
"Today, I will make bean sprout soup. Is that okay?”
"Bean sprout soup is good. Put some red pepper powder in mine.”
“Understood.”
Hayun hummed as she headed into the kitchen. Colt, who had been cleaning bean sprout in the kitchen, approached him in the living room.
“Lord! Thank you very much for the increase in abilities.”
Colt also saw a significant increase in his combat power. Just like Hayun, he became stronger in the owned and occupied territories.
Kang-jun grinned widely.
"This is only the beginning. Look forward to your power increasing even more. Gather more ghosts under you and obtain information for me."
“Yes, Lord.”
Colt answered politely and ran back to the kitchen. In the meantime, Hayun had put rice in the rice cooker.
It was a peaceful sight.
Hayun and Colt. Both of them were ghosts but here, they were real people.
He didn’t think of them as ghosts. He thought of them as his family.
He didn’t have to eat rice alone and had a lot of energy every morning.
Especially Hayun.
Of course, Kang-jun had no special feelings for her. It was just nice and comfortable.
Now, she was indispensable to Kang-jun.
It wasn’t just because she had the combat power of a senior ghost. She sang him to sleep with lullabies, gave him warm food every morning and most of all, she always greeted Kang-jun with a bright smile.
He would be really sad if those things disappeared.
Ding dong!
At that time, someone pressed the doorbell.
Who was it at this time?
He opened the door and saw Lawyer Han Yeon-soo. She seemed to enjoy coming early in the morning. Han Yeon-soo laughed awkwardly as Kang-jun stared at her.
"Hello, Lee Kang-jun. I happened to be walking past this place today and...”
"Did you remember the ramyun?”
"It doesn’t necessarily have to be ramyun.”
"Come in.”
Han Yeon-soo entered the living room naturally and sat on the couch. Then she made a fuss as a smell drifted from the kitchen.
“Wah! It smells like beans sprouts soup. I drank alcohol yesterday, so it is perfect for chasing off the hangover.”
Hayun smiled.
"That is good.”
"Rather, I’m sorry for dropping in at this time. I didn’t come here just to eat.”
"Then tell me your purpose quickly.”
Kang-jun stared at her with narrowed eyes. He knew she hadn’t come just to eat.
Han Yeon-soo nodded.
"The reason I came is to reward you.”
“Is it the reward for my achievements?”
"That’s right."
He had been told he would receive a reward in reality. Was it to be given through the Black Dragon Law Firm?
"Accept it.”
Han Yeon-soo pulled out a smartphone from her bag and gave it to Kang-jun.
"What is this?"
“This is a magic tool Skia created by the Black Dragon Law Firm.”
"Magic tool?”
"It looks like a smartphone but the performance is on a different level. This is the reward you will get in reality.”
"There are two buttons.”
"If the right button is pressed then the evil spirits detection app will be activated.”
"Evil spirits detection app?"
“Yes. You can know in advance the location and strength of the evil spirit possession in real time. Would you like to see it?”
Kang-jun pressed the right button.
A map showing the Yugang building could then be seen. The ability to zoom in and out through touch was no different from a normal smartphone.
The unusual thing was the various coloured dots that appeared on the map!
"The darker the colour, the stronger they are. The red dots are evil spirit possession while the black dots are where they took over a specific area.”
“It is a good thing that I can find them easily. By the way, what is the left button?”
"It is connected to the Skia space.”
“Space? That is possible even here?”
“If you are curious, press the button.”
Kang-jun immediately pressed the left button.
At that moment, the following menu buttons appeared.
[Warehouse] [Release Goods from Warehouse] [Check Warehouse]
These buttons recognized touch like a smartphone. Kang-jun touched Check Warehouse.
Then a cute icon of a bundle of 50,000 won notes appeared on the screen.
The title of the icon was [4.6 billion won cash.]
Kkuok!
He pressed the icon.
[How do you want to release the goods?]
[Withdraw All] [Direct Input] [Cancel]
Kang-jun pressed Withdraw All without even thinking about it. At that moment.
Sususu. Susususu.
Many 50,000 won notes appeared in front of Kang-jun. They started to accumulate like a mountain on top of the table.
What was this?
He never imagined that this was possible in reality.
“What is going on?”
Kang-jun was surprised. He had seen Han Yeon-soo using unusual magic when destroying drugs but this space was different.
Han Yeon-soo smiled.
"It is like you can see. Do you know how to use the space now?”
"I know how to use it.”
It was so simple that even an elementary school student could use it.
"This 4.6 billion won is money given as a reward for your achievements. This time the conversion is 10 million won per one achievement point, but it might be different next time."
“Ah.”
Kang-jun now understood why there was 4.6 billion won in the space.
His red moon achievement points was adjusted to 100 points, and he had 460 remaining.
That came to Kang-jun in the form of 4.6 billion won.
‘Oh my god!’
He expected a reward in reality but he had no idea it would be so high.
It was enough money to buy a building. If he included loans then buying 10 billion won buildings was possible.
"The living room is messy, so why don’t you store the money back in the space?”
“I thought so as well.”
Kang-jun pressed a button on the screen.
[Shine the light on the target you want to store.]
Kang-jun moved the phone as directed.
Then the following message appeared on the screen.
[Would you like to store all of the 4.6 billion won as 50,000 won bills?]
[Store All] [Direct input] [Cancel]
Kang-jun pressed the Store All button. The piled up money disappeared without a trace and the cute 50,000 won icon appeared on the screen again.
’This is amazing.’
Kang-jun suddenly looked at Han Yeon-soo and asked.
“Then I can store anything in here?”
"It is limited to your possessions. It doesn’t apply to other objects.”
“I see.”
Kang-jun was delighted. He didn’t care about the possessions of anyone else. It was more important to keep whatever he owned.
"What is the capacity?”
"It can be considered as unlimited. Ah, but don’t try to store something like a building. Buildings are complicated because they are tangled up with the rules of Hwanmong.”
"Then a car?”
"Cars, ships and airplanes are possible. As long as you own them.”
“I see.”
If he could place the car in the storage space, he wouldn’t need to worry about parking. If he couldn’t find a parking space, he would be able to store it in the space and take it out somewhere convenient.
"But where did this money come from? The Black Dragon Law Firm is just giving it to me?”
He wondered about the source of the 4.6 billion won. There should be more than one or two people who were rewarded for their achievements, so how could the Black Dragon Law Firm afford it?
Han Yeon-soo shook her head.
"Huhu, is that possible? The money was collected from other sovereigns. The fine was 20 million won per achievement point borrowed. Thanks to that, we have a tremendous amount of money to give out as compensation. That is how the Black Dragon Law Firm receives income.”
According to her statement, sovereigns such as Hardis had to pay fines, so the Black Dragon Law Firm received at least a few billion won.
Han Yeon-soo suddenly gave Kang-jun a meaningful smile.
"So, I will make you an offer. You have moonstones. How about 20 million won per every small moonstone? We will buy them all.”
One small moonstone had a value of one achievement point. Kang-jun’s reward was 10 million won per one achievement point, so her offer was double that.
Kang-jun currently had 437 small moonstones and 89 large ones.
That was 704 achievement points.
According to Han Yeon-soo’s offer, that was over 14 billion won.
’It is really a billion.’
Kang-jun realized that his life was quite different from what it was previously.
Now, having a billion won was easy for him.
In the future, he would be able to catch up with those who had gold spoons just by selling moonstones.
However, 20 million won was ridiculous to Kang-jun.
One achievement point had value in Hwanmong and reality. He needed to think about the strengthening of his subordinates.
Only 20 million won?
He would rather exchange them for achievement points during the next evaluation.
He didn’t consider the cash proposal at all.
Kang-jun smiled.
"I don’t think I will be selling for a while.”
“I knew you would say that. I expected you to refuse.”
"Then why did you make the offer?”
Han Yeon-soo just shrugged and laughed strangely.
"It can’t be helped since I received instructions. Anyway, I’ll let them know that you rejected the offer.”
"Yes.”
Kang-jun nodded. At that time, Hayun called out to them.
"Now, it is ready. Come eat.”
On the table, there were bowls of bean sprout soup and some side dishes. It was a simple yet delightfully prepared breakfast.
Kang-jun got up.
“Let’s eat.”
“Wah~! Delicious.”
Han Yeon-soo sat down. Kang-jun also sat and started to eat.
As expected, Hayun’s dish had a buff effect.
It wasn’t just one.
Today’s main dish was the bean sprout soup.
It happened when he ate the soup.
[Hayun’s Bean Sprout Soup]
-Good luck +1
-The duration is four hours.
It increased his good luck stat by one point for four hours!
‘This isn’t the time.’
Good luck would increase the rate of moonstones dropping.
He decided to go deal with evil creatures before the effect disappeared.
Kang-jun got ready quickly and Han Yeon-soo left immediately after the meal.
Thirty minutes passed and the effect on good luck had 3 hours and 30 minutes remaining.
Then Kang-jun was struck by a thought.
‘Wait! Is it possible to store this?’
Kang-jun picked up the pot of bean sprout soup.
Then he touched the screen of the Skia.
[Would you like to store the beans sprout soup?]
[Store] [Cancel]
When he clicked Store, the soup on the table disappeared and a small soup icon showed up on the Skia.
‘Huhu, that’s it.’
Kang-jun was delighted. Now, he could take the food out when he was hunting.
‘Ah, it is so comfortable to have the space.’
Kang-jun left his house with a satisfied expression.
