Episode 112: Bloodline (1)
“An item with a time-limited ability?”
While everyone is still confused and doesn’t fully understand the situation.
Alves asks his subordinate with a stern expression.
“What type of item is it exactly? Is it a consumable item that was previously used?”
“That’s… … Literally, when you use an item, it gives you an ability. Just like when you level it up, you get a derivative ability… … .”
“what?”
What on earth does this mean?
Original abilities are your own unique abilities and derived abilities that are created by leveling up.
And there is a certain level of equipment ability attached to the equipment.
Part-time ability?
“Poohahaha!”
The brain sage chuckled and gave his subordinate a thumbs up.
“That was hilarious! That was the best nonsense joke I’ve heard all year!”
“Oh, no! Really… … .”
A brainwashed man who suddenly stands up and grabs his subordinate by the collar.
He glares at his subordinates with wide eyes.
“There is a minimum of common sense in the world. The world operates within that common sense, and the nonsense you are spouting is beyond common sense, so it is called nonsense. Do you understand?”
“Ha, but really… … this is… … .”
A subordinate who appears to be struggling to lift something.
It was a drink with the logo [Convenience Store★24] clearly printed on it.
[Convenience Store★24] Cola
Description: This is a unique product made at the first store of Convenience Store 24’s Doomsday Tower.
Content: When you drink this drink, your agility increases by 1 for 1 hour and the ability ‘Haste’ is activated.
Special Note: Cola’s effects do not stack.
“… … .”
The strength in the hand of the brain that was holding the collar is released.
“… … This is beyond common sense.”
Anything that goes beyond common sense is usually nonsense.
But then that nonsense takes on a concrete form.
The world reveres it and calls it this:
“A miracle… … No, an anomaly… … .”
“What’s the big deal? No, Brain Emperor. Aren’t you being too excited?”
“… … A fuss?”
The brain emperor’s white eyebrows twitched.
Ma Chang-sa didn’t care and just put something peanut-shaped in his mouth and mumbled.
“Right? No matter how great the power attached to the drink is, how great is it… .”
“conflict!”
Phagejik-
Electricity surges around the roaring brainteaser’s body.
“There’s a limit to stupidity! You idiot!”
“… … What? Hey, grandpa. What did you just say?”
“Putting aside the versatility or superiority of the ability, do you really think there could be only one thing like that?!”
Ma Changsa glances at his subordinate who brought the information.
“Hey, give it to me.”
“Oh, yes… … .”
[Convenience Store★24] Ma Chang-sa frowns as he tries to open a cola.
“Miss… … This one has a certification mark on it too. Hey, you bought it, right? Try it. Let’s see if it has the effect or not.”
“yes…….”
After a while.
“Ugh, ugh… … .”
Watching my subordinates run around the conference room like it was a sports field with nimble movements.
“… … It’s quite effective.”
“Umm… … .”
The faces of the leaders hardened.
“Hey, is there more to it than that?”
“Oh, yes! They say there were at least twenty different items!”
“… … .”
Looking at the silent Machangsa Temple.
The brainwashing master shouts confidently as if telling people to look at it.
“If there are more than twenty items, that means there are more than twenty beneficial abilities that can be obtained. And what would happen if such items were distributed in large quantities on the market?”
“Aren’t you worrying too much? The fantasy store isn’t that big anyway, and only a very small number of people can benefit from it!”
What Machangsa said is not wrong.
Unlike those who have overall influence on the tower.
Because the fantasy shop was small in size.
But the brain emperor had different thoughts.
“Have you forgotten how the elves have changed? How the giants have changed? What has changed in the magic tower? Just because something is small doesn’t mean it has little influence!”
“Ugh… … This conversation isn’t going well. Well, okay. So what do you want me to do?”
“You have to either embrace them or kill them.”
“But the shop owner… … has a history of destroying the advance party… … and behind him… … there are many supporters… … .”
The Death Knight, who was concentrating on filming with his cell phone, spoke softly.
The brainwashed man frowns.
“I agree, but can you put that piece of scrap metal down?”
“That’s… … right… … .”
While the Death Knight puts down his phone.
The magician shouts again.
“So anyway! They were a small elite! And their supporters? Not a small number, but we have a lot more people!”
The number of top-tier raiders is extremely small.
On the other hand, if you add up the number of clan members allied with those under the scales of balance.
That number would easily exceed ten thousand.
“Oh, that’s enough. If we keep going like this, there’s no end to it.”
The magician glances at Alves.
“Hey, target. What are you going to do?”
‘Special stamps, time-limited ability items… … . Honestly, I’d like to get them if I could, but I’m worried about their abilities and backgrounds… … .’
At that moment, he was weighing the pros and cons on the scales in his head.
Cheolkeong-
Finally, the balance was further tilted to one side.
* * *
The next morning.
I glanced at the passenger seat as I started the truck.
“Ugh!”
A swan sitting in a dignified posture.
But I knew.
‘That guy, that’s so exciting.’
A pure white tail that sways greatly from side to side.
Unlike the serious look he had when cutting the bread crust, his eyes were sparkling.
That’s just proof that he was really excited.
“Is it that good?”
“Woof, woof, woof!”
‘boy…….’
“But I’m telling you in advance, you absolutely must not do anything weird, okay?”
“Woof, woof!”
Looking at the guy yelling at me not to worry.
I was worried inside.
‘Well, the guy is showing some reasoning, but I don’t think it’ll be a big problem.’
At puppy kindergartens, there are teachers who take care of the dogs.
“Okay, let’s go.”
* * *
After a while.
“Let’s get down.”
“Woof, woof!”
The swan couldn’t hide its anticipation.
A puppy kindergarten you only see on TV!
A place where you can play with reasonably pretty females, enjoy meals that are served on time, run around, and sleep whenever you want!
A dog’s paradise! A dog’s harem! Garadice is this… … .
[Kim Nara’s DOG SCHOOL]
“… … Huh?”
Something is strange.
The puppy kindergartens I saw on TV were clearly paradises where puppies would lie down to nap and play with other female puppies.
What you see right before your eyes is…
“Grapes! Right! Oh, good! Here, snack!”
“Woof, woof!”
“Maruya! You have to get over it! That’s right!”
All you could see were dogs fetching discs from the spacious garden or jumping over obstacles.
“Arrrrrrrrr… … .”
“What’s wrong? Isn’t that what you wanted? Look at that! Lots of friends, and a great place to run around! Yanma, I searched the internet for a place that was close to me and had decent facilities… … .”
no.
This is not the paradise he wanted.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
Baekgu calmly described the place he had seen on TV.
“Oh, really?”
The owner, who had been looking at his phone for a moment, smiles awkwardly.
“Ugh, but I guess I can’t help it since I’ve come this far. Just play here today. Next time, I’ll take you to the real park.”
“Ugh!”
The swan, feeling relieved at the word “next,” wagged its tail.
At that time.
“Welcome! Are you calling?”
“Oh, yes. My name is Kim In-seong, who contacted you yesterday. And this is Baek-gu.”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Trainer Kim Nara. Nice to meet you, Baekgu!”
A human woman speaks to him.
“Woof, woof!”
“Oh my, this kid is so lively.”
“Haha, it’s a bit on the healthy side.”
Age, special circumstances, health issues, etc.
There are many conversations between the master and the human woman.
“The owner said that Baekgu doesn’t have any particular problems, but he would like to give him some training experience for a day or so?”
“yes.”
“Okay. Would you like to participate in the training as well… .”
At that time.
The human women who had been gathered on one side of the garden walk towards us.
“Whose dog is this? Is this the young man’s dog?”
“Yes, it’s my dog.”
“Oh my, young man. What if you bring a mutt to the training camp?”
“yes?”
“I’m not trying to criticize bachelors, I’m just saying that I feel bad for wasting their money and time. Shouldn’t there be some reward in training?”
“… … .”
The master stares at the old human women with cold eyes.
“No, isn’t that right? If people are judged by their bloodline and family, what about dogs?”
“That’s right! Don’t you know that those with good bloodlines are more outstanding?! Even a dog has to be born with bloodlines!”
“Of course! This little guy here is a bit too much! He’s a shepherd or something, and he was bought at a really expensive price at the shop! That’s why he’s so smart! Isn’t that right, trainer?”
“Training a mutt is just training a mutt. It’s a waste of time and money! No, Mr. Trainer. No matter how much money you need, isn’t it a bit too much to do this to a young bachelor without even looking at the breed?”
At that moment, the human woman called the trainer was stuck between her master and the old human woman.
A faint smile appears on the owner’s lips.
“Bloodline is important, right? But our Baekgu doesn’t have bloodlines that are inferior to others.”
“Draw?”
Human women who immediately look at the swan as if they were tearing it apart.
“Hmm, that’s strange. No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem that different from the Chunsik I raised in the countryside.”
“Hey, bachelor! Look at my dog!”
A human woman called out to her master.
Suddenly he throws the disc he was holding into the air.
Okay then.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
A large male with shiny, jet-black fur runs up to me and leaps into the air.
Kwajak-
“That’s right!”
“Ugh, Trainer Kim really trained us hard!”
“It all has to do with bloodline! Since your bloodline is excellent, you can quickly understand whatever you ask of them!”
“Haha… … Thank you… … .”
Those who applaud and cheer for the black male.
“Huh?”
The swan simply could not understand their actions.
I just caught something flying slowly.
Why do people cheer like that?
The swan quietly walked up to its master and patted his calf.
“Huh? Why?”
“Woof, woof!”
“What? You want to do that too?”
“Wah!”
“……okay?”
The owner, who had been whispering in a low voice, quietly approaches the human female called trainer.
“Excuse me, but can our Baekgu try something like the discus throw?”
“yes?”
A human female trainer with an ambiguous smile.
“Oh, Frisbee? You can try it! But… … it might be a bit difficult. Even dogs that have been trained for a few months often act up. And since you said Baekgu hasn’t received any proper training, I think he’ll need at least a few months of training.”
“Oh my, Trainer Kim. I said you have to try it yourself to learn. Just give me a quick taste and send me back with a refund. It’s not cheap, so there’s no need to waste your money and time by bringing in a young man who doesn’t know anything. Here! Try it with mine.”
“… … Is that so?”
A faint smile appears on the lips of the owner who receives the disc.
* * *
Trainer Kim glanced at the ladies.
‘Hey! I could have pulled out a few more months, but those ladies are making me want to get a refund.’
It’s true that this guy got the wrong number.
The man probably looked for a ‘dog park’, but this is a ‘dog school’.
To a place where dogs are properly trained.
There are also quite a few professionals preparing for dog-related competitions.
I thought I could at least do business for the three-month training course if I tried hard enough, but I got tired of the ladies nagging me.
But trainer Kim Nara was confident she could empty the owner’s wallet.
‘Everyone thinks their dogs are geniuses.’
How difficult is discus throwing?
If you intervene appropriately when you realize firsthand how untrained a dog is and are shocked to learn that your dog is not a genius, you will be able to succeed in sales despite the sabotage of the ladies.
“Swan, are you throwing it?”
“Wah!”
Trainer Kim looked at him with cold eyes.
‘If an untrained dog could do that, who would want to be trained? Absolutely not.’
At that time.
The disc in the man’s hand slices through the air.
Tadadadadak-
And then a pure white dog that was running towards the flying disc jumped up and snatched the disc.
Return to the master’s side.
‘……uh?’
Trainer Kim stared blankly at the sight.
