I Gained a Gallery in the Wild - Eps 45 Swindler (6)
Title: Fuck, abandoned the trap.
Author: WildGrills
Just
came back from checking the pit trap, and there was a spider instead of a rabbit
living there.
Its jet-black fur was fucking grotesque. Too terrifying
to even look at, so I left it alone.
From now on I'll have to use
snares instead of pit traps.
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon) Cheer up. If it's not
feasible, This One shall send you some meat.
ã„´ WildGrills) It’s
okay. I can still endure for now.
ã„´ How big was the spider?
ã„´
WildGrills) Looked at least 1 meter? Almost fainted the moment I saw it ;;
ã„´
Ugh ;; What kind of spider gets that big?
ã„´ WildGrills) Was too
scared to even take a picture Seems better to just ignore it lolol
ã„´
Why not at least grill and eat that thing
ã„´ WildGrills) I did think
about that, but even if it has cubs, I can't just kill the mother, can I?
ã„´
Fuck lolol a saint has graced us with his presence lololol
ã„´ This is
the guy that kill Round Fluff's mother?
ã„´ WildGrills) That’s cause
Round Fluff's mom tried to kill me ;;
ã„´ lmaoo yeah, that’s fair
ã„´
Wonder what Round Flufff thinks? The person who raised him is actually the
murderer who killed his mother.... And his mother was someone who tried to kill
that person...
ã„´ Recommend me a novel with that plot. It sounds
interesting?
ã„´ That’s a story hook right there lolol gotta go write
it
ã„´ AllFather) How did it look overall?
ã„´ WildGrills) I
ran the moment I saw it so I don’t know either. Just a spider with pitch-black
fur?
ã„´ AllFather) Hmm. It is hard to tell just from that. It seems
to be a type of tarantula, so I recommend not trying to catch it.
ã„´
WildGrills) I'm thinking of just burning it anyway.
Since it's living
in a pit, it would burn to death quickly with oil and fire.
But I
don't intend to go through such trouble. I didn't even want to look at it.
Imagine
lifting the board and hideous spiders swarming out. It wouldn't be strange if
you were traumatized.
‘Where the hell did that spider even come
from?’
Not even a few hours had passed, and it had already made the
pit trap its habitat.
It's a mystery of nature that seems
understandable in many ways, yet also not.
In the end, I had no
choice but to eat some Byeokgokdan for dinner.
I earnestly hoped a
fish would be caught by the next morning.
‘Maybe I should smoke-cook
it instead?’
Not a bad idea. Smoking would keep bugs away too.
My
real concern was beasts, but they would have shown up by now if they were
coming.
There's something to it since no dangerous animals have
appeared so far.
'At least finding the Owlbear's droppings gives some
hope...'
Round Fluff’s mother, the Owlbear, might’ve been here for
exploration like me.
Because the Owlbear chewed, tore, tasted, and
enjoyed the Mad Dog corpse.
Since the enemy that divided territories
disappeared, it came to check the main base once.
‘Guess I just have
to keep exploring steadily.’
The Forest of the Four Seasons is a
place where anything can happen.
So preparing for every ‘what if’
isn’t a choice but it’s a necessity.
As it gradually got dark, I
brought a few pieces of firewood and entered the cave.
When I entered
the cave, Round Fluff who had woken up from sleep was sitting there blankly.
"You're
awake? Should I feed you?"
"Kyuu!"
Cute little guy. I
bought a huge chunk piece of meat at the auction house.
I don't have
to worry about money for the time being. I made a huge amount of money by
selling the inner core.
The funny thing is that the scammer didn't
even get to eat the inner core. He reaped what he sowed.
‘By tomorrow
AllFather’s probably gonna need a frog too, right?’
Here's my plan
for tomorrow. Explore in the morning and come back before lunchtime.
Then
hunt Golden Frogs and trade with AllFather, and if possible, get a trap from the
dwarf.
If I can just receive a fish trap from the dwarf, I won't need
to worry about food anymore.
Since it's a fish trap made by a dwarf,
there's no need to doubt its durability.
‘The concern is whether to
go upstream or downstream...’
When you’re stranded, the easiest way
to escape is to follow the river downstream.
Since ancient times,
civilizations often started near rivers.
Even if there isn't a
country, there should at least be a small village.
'The problem is
that the space is uneven, so it could get cut off midway.’
The space
is uneven. The expression might sound strange, but there's nothing wrong with
what I'm saying.
Right now, the other side of the river keeps
changing in real-time from snowy mountains to desert.
Even last time,
it changed to an area filled with fog. I was so flabbergasted seeing that.
So
if the path seems unnaturally cut off at any point, I won't hesitate to turn
back.
'Nothing's ever easy here.'
I sighed. That’s exactly
why I prioritize adapting over escaping.
Since the space changes so
frequently, it's difficult to escape even if I want to.
‘Is it a
comfort that the size of the map is gradually increasing?’
I turned
my head and looked at the wall. A map is drawn on a large piece of paper.
With
this cave as the center, specific points are marked in each direction—up, down,
left, and right.
The river where golden frogs appear. The colony of
Mature Mandrakes. The recently discovered Golden Mushroom cave, and so on.
It
wasn't certain because the compass didn't work, but it’s helping a lot.
'Let's
go down the river tomorrow.'
If I go downstream, I won’t have to
worry about getting lost.
Once the sun fully set, I lit a bonfire.
Warmth
began to spread through the cave that had been getting colder.
"Am,
nyam, nyam."
Round Fluff eating the meat deliciously after I gave it
to him, I petted his head.
He flinched at first but soon ate quietly.
Looks like he’s gotten fully used to my touch.
‘If only he could just
grow out of being a cub.’
It takes several years for an Owlbear to
grow into an adult. The gallery told me so.
However, hunting
independently is possible even if it's not an adult.
I think I heard
that its body gets bigger in about a year.
As I watched Round Fluff
eating well-prepared raw meat, I turned my head.
DizSpeed was staring
at me blankly with that signature stupid face of his.
“You’re fully
grown, right?”
“.....”
“Yeah. Thought so.”
It
seemed to be saying, 'Can't you tell by looking?'
Of course, this is
just my guess.
After a while, I had a simple meal with Byeokgokdan
and went outside for a while.
It's better to wash simply before
sleeping. Because of hygiene.
'Why does this guy, DizSpeed, hate
bathing so much?'
Fortunately, there haven't been any particular
symptoms yet, but you never know.
For now, I have no choice but to
maintain my hygiene until I wash that fellow.
After washing up
roughly like that, I went back inside the cave.
‘Ah. Right. The
scabbard.’
I thought of HeavenlyDemon's sword as soon as I saw it
standing on one side of the cave.
I’ll be moving around a lot from
now on, and I can’t just carry it around like this.
I logged into the
gallery and had a private chat with HeavenlyDemon.
[WildGrills:
HeavenlyDemon-nim. Are you there?]
[HeavenlyDemon: Pray tell.]
She
replied in less than a second. I was a little flustered.
[WildGrills:
It's nothing much, but by any chance, does the sword you gave me before not have
a sheath?]
[HeavenlyDemon: It did. But the blade was so sharp it
ended up all tattered.]
[WildGrills: Hmm. I see.]
Honestly,
the sheath might not have much meaning anyway.
HeavenlyDemon's sword
had a record of refreshingly cutting Mad Dog in half.
But if I just
carry it around like that, I'm bound to experience inconvenience while
moving.
[HeavenlyDemon: If thou desire a sheath, This One shall order
my aide.]
[WildGrills: No, that’s not necessary. Do you know the
passerby dwarf by any chance?]
[HeavenlyDemon: Are thou speaking
about that dwarf drunkard? I know of him even though I've never had a direct
conversation.]
[WildGrills: I plan to ask him. He seems like a master
blacksmith.]
[HeavenlyDemon: It is not a bad idea, but would it not
suffice to simply carry the sword?]
[WildGrills: That's true, but I
think I'll need a scabbard.]
I'm talking about when investigating or
using my hands. This happens often.
It's better than not having one.
That's the judgment I've formed while living here.
[HeavenlyDemon:
This One’s life and Benefactor’s are different, so I shall respect thy decision.
However, I can assure thou it will not be easy.]
[WildGrills: You
said it was made with something called Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron, right? Is it
a good metal?]
[HeavenlyDemon: That is so, but it was also crafted by
an excellent blacksmith.]
[WildGrills: Aha.]
So it’s
basically a sword among swords. And HeavenlyDemon gave it to me.
HeavenlyDemon
refused every time I offered to return it.
[HeavenlyDemon: If by any
chance thou are thinking of returning it, I forbid it. This One already someone
who is not attached to weapons.]
[WildGrills: Is there nothing you
want?]
[HeavenlyDemon: If thou find an inner core, could thou give
it to me? It's something to give to my subordinates, not for me.]
[WildGrills:
Ah. Right. I understand. Can you convey my gratitude instead?]
[HeavenlyDemon:
Of course.]
The conversation with HeavenlyDemon ended there. Now
there's only one thing left.
Asking PassingDwarf to make a scabbard.
But it's uncertain whether he'll accept.
He'll make the fish trap
under the pretext of giving snacks, but a scabbard is an exception.
Unless
I find some quality ore, he’s highly likely to refuse.
'In short, I
need good materials.'
It seems I'll need to expand my exploration
range from now on.
The best place to set as a target is where the
space is tangled and messy like across the river.
'But it's difficult
to find such places.'
I’ll have to try. For the sake of escape,
reckless attempts are sometimes necessary.
I took a picture of the
bonfire and posted it on the gallery.
Title: Day 4 is over!
(Photo
of the bonfire)
Bye everyone! See you tomorrow!
ã„´
HeavenlyDemon) You’ve done well.
ã„´ SwordMaster) You've worked
hard.
ã„´ StarlightPrincess) See you again tomorrow!
ã„´
LongLiveTheSun) You suffered because of that worthless bastard.
ã„´
ChaengguPrincess) Byeee~! Don’t dieee~! I’ll send you pants tomorrowww~!
I
closed the gallery while receiving cheers from the fixed nicks and nonsense from
the anons at the same time.
Now, I plan to hone my internal energy
cultivation method and gradually go to bed.
'It seems like fatigue
flies away every time I operate the breathing technique.'
I was just
barely forcing myself to sleep, but I had no choice.
Going out in the
pitch-dark night was no different from a suicidal act.
Even though I
can see ahead, the forest's day and night are completely different.
'Then...'
A
good idea came to me. Fatigue disappears every time I do the internal energy
cultivation technique?
Then I just have to keep using my internal
energy cultivation technique until I get tired.
Since there was
nothing else to do anyway, this was the best option for me.
'I'll get
sleepy as I do this, right?'
I began circulating my energy with that
simple thought in mind.
The mana within my body began to circulate
slowly, and with each breath, it quickened as if being pumped.
‘Slowly,
from the basics...’
Time was all I had.
During that time,
I slowly refined the foundation that HeavenlyDemon had taught me.
"...."
Very
gradually, I immersed myself in tranquility.
*****
Around
the time Grills became completely immersed in his internal energy cultivation
technique.
The gallery was still bustling with activity.
Just
one fixed nick being absent couldn't possibly bring the gallery to a complete
halt.
But most of the gallery’s content was still related to
Grills.
Title: I must buy whatever Grills puts up for auction from
now on
There's nothing bad about buying what this guy lists lolol
Wouldn’t
be surprised if he ends up pulling out mithril instead of inner core? lol
ã„´
What mithril lolol Mithril isn't some neighborhood pebble
ã„´ Then are
inner core neighborhood pebbles?
ã„´ It's not like they have that
great of an effect anyway.
ã„´ But inner core is inner core. Some
second-rate dude jumped straight to peak realm from it?
ã„´ I told you
there's nothing bad about buying it?
ã„´ The fact that there's a
Mature Mandrake colony from the start is already overpowered yeye
ã„´
Hah, fuck, if it weren't for that scammer bastard, I could've gotten it
cheaper.
ã„´ Pretty much thanks to that guy, we now have to go through
fixed users. Pisses me off all over again.
Title: Real-time gallery
bro is fucked
My boss told me to somehow make a connection with
Grills. Fuck, I said no and the dude tells me to just leave the merchant guild
if I don’t want to.
Can't we do something about this legally? It's
closely related to privacy ;;
ã„´ SmartDemon) Do you usually swear at
your boss?
ã„´ You don't?
ã„´ SmartDemon) I do too. Recently
my boss told me to reveal my gallery nickname and I almost got screwed
lololol
ã„´ How did you manage?
ã„´ SmartDemon) Just BS’d my
way through. You try telling your boss to reveal their gallery nickname too.
Then they'll usually let it slide.
ã„´ kk thanks for the tip
ã„´
Now I think I'll believe whatever Grills discovers. What will it be next?
ã„´
I told you. It'll definitely be minerals yeye. I believe that.
Title:
Honestly, it's tricky
What does Grills need? It's something that's
closely related to survival. He doesn’t really need money.
It’s
basically bartering at this point, but isn’t it hard to trade with him? Unless
it’s some kind of legendary weapon or something.
ã„´ The fact that
threats don't work on him anymore makes it harder too. It's really become tricky
to trade even once ;;
ã„´ Even for things like beast cores or elixirs,
he just eats whatever he finds there lolol
ã„´ He’s already got pretty
much all the decent weapons, right? What else would he even need?
ã„´
Nudes?
ã„´ Oh.
ã„´ Oh bullshit lololol
ã„´ That's
what you need lol
ã„´ No no, he might really need it. I'm not joking,
I'm serious.
The gallery flared up in a heated but
not-quite-debate.
Unlike last time, it was a more aggressive aspect.
