Chapter 69: Being Rewarded for Achievements (2)

After a while, Kang-jun woke up in his bedroom .

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 .
