Episode 950: Where did these seeds come from?

Yongjin cautiously stepped forward. Then suddenly, his arm collided with something, so he quickly stretched out his hand and pushed it away. The thing he touched was soft, and at the same time, he heard a woman screaming.

“You idiot, how dare you touch grandma? Do you know who I am? Do you think grandma will make sure you have a lot of descendants?”

When the woman got angry, Yongjin got angry too.

The woman screamed from a distance, either startled by Yongjin or by bumping into someone else.

‘There’s a strange arrangement in the fog zone, so we have to be careful. It’s okay for a woman to touch it, but it’s disgusting for a man to touch it. Let’s start with defense.’

After thinking about it, Yongjin formed a flame shield.

The high temperature prevented other people from approaching, preventing them from being touched by men.

“Phew.”

As Yongjin moved a little further forward, he suddenly became wary.

At that moment, a hand created a strong wind and struck Yongjin hard.

Yongjin’s heart trembled at that terrifying power.

Yongjin’s fist hit a large hand, but it was not a human hand, but a tree.

When Yongjin defended, a wind suddenly blew behind his head. Yongjin quickly stretched out his hand and pulled the wooden fist with all his might.

Yongjin realized that this was a wooden puppet. It was about a sheet long, and it was very delicate for what it was made of. The joints on the fingers were very detailed, and there were even fingerprints.

For some reason, the wooden puppet was as hard as steel.

As Yongjin caught its fist, it quickly stepped back, and at the same time stretched out one leg and kicked Yongjin under the armpit.

At the same time, Yongjin also kicked the wooden leg. This time, Yongjin used the strength of his arms, and the wooden leg broke right away. However, the tips of Yongjin’s feet also hurt.

‘The tree is too hard.’

Yongjin’s body had already reached a terrifying state, so it was impossible to injure him just by looking at it. However, it seemed that this wooden puppet was special, as it hurt the tips of his feet just by breaking one of its wooden legs.

The wooden puppet quickly stepped back and kicked Yongjin with its remaining leg.

Yongjin was very surprised by this.

How could he go backwards with both legs off the ground?

Yongjin also broke the remaining leg of the wooden puppet. Only then did he realize that there was a stick under its buttocks supporting the wooden puppet’s entire body.

There was some kind of machine under the ground that made it attack.

Yongjin broke the wooden puppet and grabbed the stick. The stick was still moving quickly on the ground.

“This is it. It activates when you enter a certain range, and you get attacked by wooden puppets. Forward, backward, left, right, hehe, four times in total. Each time you attack, it attacks in a different direction. How fun.”

Yongjin held the stick and walked back and forth, gradually figuring out the working pattern of this puppet. It was really fun to look at again.

The person who designed this thing had thought through all the escape routes for the operator, so these four attacks were very lethal.

Because most people, when they block the first attack, unconsciously think that the enemy is ahead. This is when they make a big mistake.

“iced coffee!”

Suddenly, a scream was heard and a figure flew past Yongjin. Thanks to the long time of adaptation, Yongjin could barely see objects within a frame of his surroundings.

Just a moment ago, I saw a man’s shoulder completely shatter and fly away. He was probably blown away by a wooden puppet without even realizing what had happened.

Because the location of his shoulder wound was the same as where Yongjin was first attacked.

The attack by this wooden puppet was sudden, but there was no shaking in the surroundings.

Yongjin was surprised, but he was certain of one thing. Any Dragon Blood Warrior who encountered the wooden doll here would not be harmed. With their experience in life-and-death battles, they would be able to avoid something like this easily.

“Hoo hoo hoo…….”

Yongjin walked about ten miles forward, then suddenly heard the sound of the ground being dug and stopped in surprise.

‘What is that? Are you going to kill a person and bury him there to silence him? That’s too bold.’

“……Kwak Yeon? What are you doing?”

When I got closer, I saw that Gwakyeon was digging a hole.

“Captain, there’s a switch here. I’m going to go down and check it out and do some research.”

Kwak Yeon was very happy to see Yong Jin.

“Are you really free? Why are you studying that? There are countless things you can study once you pass the exam. Why are you wasting your energy on something so meaningless?”

“Captain, I don’t know. And I can’t sleep unless I understand the situation clearly. Oh, and Captain, I heard that Han Woon-san was beaten naked. He said that a small object was blown up by a firecracker and flew away. Is that what you did?”

Yongjin thought back to that time. He had clearly blocked Hanunsan’s eternity, preventing him from protecting his body. And since the genitals were generally weak, it seemed like it would have been as Gwakyeon had said.

“Wow, Captain. When I heard that, I almost died laughing. That idiot just needs to die.”

“But you really want to dig? You don’t know how deep it is, and someone might stop you halfway through digging. That would be a waste of energy.”

“Yes, I have to dig it. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”

Kwak Yeon nodded.

“Then keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll go forward.”

Yongjin knew that Kwakyeon had passion and talent for foundries and machinery, so he just let him handle it.

After that, Kwak Yeon dug the ground for three days and finally found the underground opening mechanism. However, the underground opening mechanism was tightly closed and could not be opened. The secret inside could not be seen either.

Moreover, when he tried to open a hole secretly, the elder appeared and scolded him. The elder sternly warned him not to destroy public property. In the end, Guo Yan had to leave in tears without getting anything.

* * *

Yongjin continued to move forward. Then, he suddenly saw some disciples running towards him. Yongjin was surprised to see that they were not at all afraid of touching the underground opening mechanism.

Yongjin also found that some of them were holding something in their hands. It was some kind of seed. They ran while checking the seeds in their hands. They suddenly stopped, slowly went around a section, and then ran again.

Yongjin stood there blankly, and walked slowly. Where did these seeds come from?

“Don’t miss it, everyone. It’s a magical seed that can test the wooden puppet. This is something you must have. With the magical seed, your trials will be safe, quick, and painless. Come and buy it quickly.”

Yongjin suddenly heard someone shouting loudly.

Yongjin hurriedly ran to the man. The man had a thin face, but he looked very smart. He happened to see Yongjin coming and his eyes lit up.

“Wow, Senior Yongjin, hello. I’ve heard of your name for a long time. Would you like to buy some magical seeds? A hero like you probably wouldn’t use these, but I think the people around you would really need them. How about sharing some with the people around you?”

The man spoke with an impatient expression. Yongjin laughed because he spoke so well.

“What kind of seeds are these? How much do they cost?”

Yongjin asked.

“I don’t know the exact name of this seed. That’s why I named it myself, but I won’t tell you because you’ll probably laugh if I tell you. As for the price… When I sell it to other people, I get a thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and I never lower the price below that. However, I’ll get eight million from Senior Yongjin. What do you think?”

The man looked at Yongjin and spoke sincerely.

“Wow, do I look like an idiot to you? Someone just said they bought this for a hundred mid-quality spirit stones, and now they’re asking me for eight hundred? What are you trying to fool me with?”

Yongjin was angry.

“Ah, Senior Yongjin… Don’t be angry. I think I sold it wrong earlier. So as a gesture of apology, I will give you 80… no, 50… medium-grade Youngseok. What do you think?”

The man spoke hurriedly. This time, Yongjin almost laughed.

What is this, such a big trick? Is this asking for a sky-high price and then giving the money back on the spot? Isn’t this a big trick?

“Give me one.”

Yongjin wondered what kind of seed this was. He didn’t care about money, but he didn’t want to be fooled and slaughtered by people.

After receiving the money, the man immediately smiled and handed Yongjin a small seed.

The seeds were small, like fruits, with slightly open outer shells, revealing some of the flesh inside. The top was covered with a gray powder.

“You’re really good at business. This dried tree magic fruit can be bought for tens of pounds with one low-grade spirit stone. But you sold it for 50 medium-grade spirit stones. Well done, well done.”

As Yongjin spoke with a smile, the man’s expression changed in an instant.

The man didn’t know that Yongjin would recognize this fruit.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m praising you for being really good at business. The seeds of the dried fruit are covered in pollen from the strange-looking tree flower, making them very sensitive. Even with just a little bit of wood-related power, the seeds will swell and sprout. This way, you can tell where the tree puppet is. Good job, good job.”

A smile appeared on Yongjin’s face as he nodded.

“Senior Yongjin, you are so knowledgeable and talented that you were able to see at a glance how I cheated. I am truly impressed.”

The man looked at Yongjin with eyes of respect and said.

The reason he could sell it so shamelessly was because the two things Yongjin mentioned were almost unknown.

The former was not a rare medicine, and the latter was known only to a very few.

“Do you know how to do alchemy?”

Yongjin asked.

“I only know a little bit about the private sector. My talent is too lacking and there is no room for development, so I found another way to make money. If I buy resources and invest in my body, I will have a chance to enter the middle class someday.”

The man smiled bitterly.

“There are many ways to become strong. There is no high or low, noble or base in the methods. There is absolutely no shame in making money with your own wisdom. In fact, it is much cooler than fools who only know how to put on clothes and eat food since birth and waste food.”

Yongjin laughed.

“Thank you, Senior Yongjin.”

The man had not expected that Yongjin would not ignore him but rather praise his methods. That was why he was touched by Yongjin’s words.

In the man’s eyes, Yongjin was a true genius. He never dreamed that such a person would say such words of recognition. That’s why he was even more touched.

“What is your name?”

Yongjin asked.

“My name is Jeon Dada (钱多多).”

Yongjin was speechless.

“I really don’t have much money. My last name is Cheon, and my parents gave me that name because they wanted me to live my whole life without worrying about money.”

Jeon Dada explained hastily.

“Okay, everyone who earns a living by their own efforts deserves respect. But your way of doing business is still lacking.”

Yongjin said, shaking his head.

“I would like to ask for Senior Yongjin’s teachings.”

Jeon Dada said politely.
