Minhyuk had already heard Professor Raymon’s explanation about the elves.

So he knew the characteristics of their race.

The elves were a race that had lived in the forest since time immemorial.

They could emit an aura similar to the forest’s energy.

Because of this characteristic, the elves could move safely through the forest without being detected by beasts.

However, their ability to conceal themselves wasn’t perfect.

That’s why they were often captured by goblins.

But compared to humans, they had a much easier time moving through the forest to gather Pukari Berries.

“Bring me 100,000 Pukari Berries within 7 days. Then I will hand over your kin.”

Minhyuk specifically stated his demand to Jeria.

She waved her hands, saying it was impossible.

“That’s too many in such a short amount of time!”

“Are you saying you can’t do it?”

“It’s not that I can’t do it… Could you maybe reduce it to 50,000?”

Minhyuk and Jeria began to negotiate.

“90,000.”

“60,000!”

“80,000.”

“70,000!”

“Good. Bring me 70,000 within 7 days.”

Originally, Minhyuk only needed 50,000.

If he acquired 70,000, he would have a surplus of 20,000.

Pukari fruits were 5.56mm bullets.

‘Maybe I should start selling bullets?’

Of course, he didn’t mean it literally.

It would be better to have extra Pukari fruits rather than run out while hunting Teidons.

“Understood. I will gather 70,000 Pukari fruits within 7 days. Until then, please take good care of our kin!”

“I understand.”

“However, we don’t have a place to store that many fruits. So starting tomorrow, no, starting today, we will bring the Pukari fruits we gather each day directly here.”

“Good.”

The elves handed over the supplies they had brought to Asdel’s soldiers.

They were hundreds of sets of clothes for their kin inside the fortress.

Jeria expressed her gratitude to Minhyuk.

“Thank you for saving our kin.”

“No need to thank me. I didn’t retake the fortress to save the elves.”

“Even so… Thank you!”

She led her companions and returned to the forest.

A wanted notice was posted in Melbeck Citadel.

＜A great reward will be given to anyone who reports the whereabouts of the traitor Tarman and his family. On the other hand, those who assist or hide them will be severely punished.＞

The people of Melbeck were in turmoil.

The just previous king had suddenly died,

and now, the respected general had become a wanted man.

Someone reading the wanted notice quietly recited, making sure the soldiers wouldn’t hear.

“A sign of ruin has fallen upon the kingdom.”

A man with his hood pulled low over his face was among the crowd.

It was Tarman, the subject of the wanted notice.

Thud-

He gritted his teeth to suppress his anger.

Then he left the plaza and headed for the city gate.

The wanted notice was also posted on the city gate.

But the soldiers didn’t apprehend him.

The captain of the guard approached him and whispered softly.

“You’ve suffered, General.”

The captain of the guard was indebted to Tarman.

“And I’m sorry…”

However, all the captain could do to help Tarman was to turn a blind eye to him passing through the city gate.

Tarman patted him on the shoulder and said,

“Even if it’s an unjust law and an evil king, it’s a soldier’s duty to follow. I’m a traitor, hahahahaha.”

“General···.”

Tarman passed through the city gate.

And went outside the territory of Kaho and into the forest.

Two women on horses entered Tarman’s sight.

His old mother and daughter.

“Father!”

“Lynn! You escaped safely with Grandmother!”

Tarman’s only daughter, Lynn, was the most skilled in martial arts among the young generation of Melbeck.

Since she was little, she trained by hunting beasts outside the territory of Kaho with her father.

“Leave quickly, go to Asdel and find my friend Drake! He will take care of you and Grandmother. And deliver this to him.”

Tarman handed a letter to his daughter.

“Are you really not coming with us, Father?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I have to stay here and find evidence of that bastard’s actions.”

Lynn looked at her father with a worried expression and said,

“Please be careful.”

“Don’t worry about me, and be careful yourself. Take good care of Grandmother.”

The old mother stroked her son’s head.

“My son, you must be safe.”

“Mother, don’t worry. Once I get to Asdel, I’ll eat properly.”

“Oh, my poor child! How can a mother swallow food when her son is in danger! I will only wait eagerly for the day you return. So you must return safely to your mother.”

“I understand, Mother!”

Tarman gave his last word to Lynn.

“The further you get from the territory of Kaho, the stronger the monsters that will appear. You must avoid those guys at all costs!”

“I understand, Father!”

“Never get off the dragon horse until you arrive.”

Neigh-

The horse they were riding was not an ordinary horse.

It looked like a horse, but its whole body was covered with scales.

The dragon horse was also a monster that harmed people.

Of course, it couldn’t enter the territory of Kaho.

Years ago, Lynn, who was training with her father, found a young dragon horse that had lost its mother and raised it outside the territory of Kaho, feeding it.

“Get going!”

“Yes, Father. Let’s go!”

Screech-

The dragon horse neighed and started to run.

At Tamirn Fortress, the Pookari fruits brought by the elves piled up day by day.

Professor Lehman reported to Minhyuk.

“The fruits are being gathered without any problems. We will be able to reach our target amount sooner than the original schedule.”

A giant wooden tub for squeezing the juice out of the Pookari fruits had already been prepared.

Since the juice would spoil if squeezed beforehand, it would be done right before performing the ritual.

‘Now, all that’s left is to wait.’

Thanks to the elves gathering the Pookari fruits, the soldiers had nothing left to do.

‘What should I do while I’m waiting? I should accumulate return time.’

He would lead the soldiers to hunt the monsters around the fortress during their free time.

Originally, after securing Teidon’s heart, some of the soldiers were to transport the magic crystals to Asdel Fortress, and the rest were to remain in the fortress to get rid of the surrounding monsters.

He planned to start that plan ahead of time.

There were three main monster habitats around Tamrin Fortress.

To the north was the Giant Ostrich habitat.

To the east was the Two-horned Direwolf habitat.

To the south was the Cave Vampire Bat habitat.

‘Let’s start with the ostriches.’

Minhyuk had encountered a Giant Ostrich before.

So he knew its habits well.

Minhyuk left only the minimum number of personnel to guard the fortress and moved to the Giant Ostrich habitat.

It was a meadow with few trees.

P flooding wasn’t just thick forests.

The environment differed depending on the location.

Hundreds of giant ostriches were wandering around the vast meadow.

The soldiers were nervous when they saw them.

‘What kind of ostriches are that big?’

Giant Ostriches were about 5 meters tall, similar to giraffes.

Kweeek-

The ostriches charged at the soldiers.

From Noble mtl dot com

The soldiers had already learned the ostriches’ hunting method from Minhyuk.

Whoosh-

The ostriches breathed fire at the soldiers.

However, the soldiers wearing poncho cloaks ignored the flames and fired their crossbows at the ostriches.

Thwack, thwack, thwack-

The ostriches collapsed like hedgehogs with arrows embedded all over their bodies.

However, since they were such large creatures, their lives didn’t end easily.

Swish-

The special forces rushed at the fallen ostriches and stabbed their foreheads with the Star Daggers.

＜You have defeated a Giant Ostrich. As a reward, 3 minutes of return time have been accumulated.＞

＜You have defeated a Giant Ostrich. As a reward, 3 minutes of return time have been accumulated.＞

.

.

.

3 minutes per one, the return time was piling up quickly.

Thwack-

The giant ducks flapped their wings and shot their metal blade-like feathers at the soldiers.

Pancho’s armor, reinforced with steel inside the cloth, prevented any serious injuries.

However, Pancho’s clothes were ruined.

The lizard leather of the Volcanic Zone was excellent at blocking flames, but it was vulnerable to physical attacks.

In any case, they annihilated hundreds of giant ducks with their overwhelming numbers.

＜Remaining Return Time: 3 days, 6 hours, 50 minutes, 40 seconds＞

The return time had increased significantly.

The current time in the real world was Sunday noon, and they could now stay until Wednesday evening, passing Monday and Tuesday.

If they could just find a house they could move into right away, they could finish moving in.

There wasn’t much to move, anyway.

‘Alright!’

After the battle, the soldiers took potions to heal their wounds.

＜Your subordinate soldiers used the supplied potions to heal their wounds. 10 seconds have been added to the return time.＞

＜Your subordinate soldiers used the supplied potions to heal their wounds. 10 seconds have been added to the return time.＞

.

.

.

The soldiers’ wounds were healed with the potions supplied by Minhyuk, and the return time was added.

In a way, the soldiers were ‘geese that laid return time eggs’.

“Let’s go back!”

Minhyuk led his troops and returned to the Taming Fortress.

They would reorganize the unit before attacking the second habitat.

They needed to resupply Pancho’s armor, which had become rags, as well as crossbow bolts and potions.

It was time to go shopping.

“Return.”

Pop-

They returned to the van with a blinding flash.

They would return the van this evening.

Then they would rest in the evening.

They would buy expensive clothes and eat delicious food.

Then they would visit a real estate office tomorrow morning to look for a house to move into.

They would buy more items after renting a truck tomorrow afternoon.

So, let’s do some serious shopping before returning the van.

Boom-

He drove the car and stopped by a stationery wholesaler first.

“400 dozen 2B pencils with erasers… no, 1,000 dozen, please.”

There were 12 pencils in a dozen.

1,000 dozen was 12,000 sets of Pancho’s armor.

It was enough to supply 3 sets to each of the 4,000 soldiers.

“That many? We don’t have that many in stock from the same brand.”

“The manufacturer doesn’t matter. As long as the lead is 2B.”

If the brand didn’t matter, but the color or the specifications of the lead were different, it would turn into something completely different.

Just like how a USB’s capacity, if different, could turn into something completely different.

And anything that turned out that different was always useless.

“That’ll be 3,985,500 won.”

Minhyuk paid for the pencils in cash.

“Can I use a dolly?”

“Yes, of course.”

Minhyuk used the dolly to carry the pencils to the taxi.

Then he returned the dolly and exited the wholesale store.

Minhyuk’s steps towards the taxi were a bit hurried.

‘Next, I have to go buy the eggs.’

That was when it happened.

Thud—

He slipped on something and fell.

Like a cartoon character from the old days slipping on a banana peel, he flew into the air and fell hard.

‘Ouch, my arm!’

The embarrassment hurt more than the pain.

He quickly got up in case someone saw him.

When he checked the ground, he saw that someone had dropped ice cream.

He had slipped on the melted ice cream and fallen.

Who could he blame?

It was his own fault for not looking where he was going because he was in a hurry.

He was in too much of a hurry to buy the items quickly and have fun.

Minhyuk got into the driver’s seat of the taxi.

When he reached for the steering wheel, his wrist hurt terribly.

He had landed on it the wrong way when he fell.

He would have to keep using his wrist to carry the items and put them in the refrigerator.

‘Oh, man.’

That was when a thought crossed Minhyuk’s mind.

A thought that he had vaguely had before.

But he had never actually put it into practice.

Minhyuk got out of the driver’s seat.

Then he opened the trunk and put his hand on the refrigerator.

“Return.”

Bang—

With a flash, he was transported to the Black Fortress.

His wrist still throbbed.

“Inventory.”

I took out a bottle of red liquid from the refrigerator and drank it.

Then the throbbing stopped.

“Return.”

Pop-

I was back in the real world.

I turned my wrist to look at it.

It didn’t hurt at all.

My wrist was completely healed.

‘I knew it!’

I had been overlooking another use for the refrigerator.
