Episode 22.
Tiring!
At the sound of the front door lock opening, Siwoo grabbed the doorknob and turned it.
“Seo-ah, I’m here.”
Siwoo called Seoah with the most energetic voice in the world.
But no answer came.
Seo-ah would normally come out and say, “Hey, oppa, are you here?”
For some reason, I didn’t hear any answer now.
Just as I was about to run into Seo-ah’s room with the thought, “No way!”
“Oh, right. Seo-ah is in the hospital.”
Siwoo scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Siwoo was hospitalized for one week.
The period of crafting equipment while doing raids was two weeks.
Only three weeks have passed.
There was still one more week left for the month to be completed.
And I knew that all along.
But maybe it’s because my heart feels like it’s going to burst right now.
Siwoo forgot that fact for a moment.
Siwoo took a quick look around the house.
A house that is so old that it is shabby.
It felt empty without Seo-ah.
But at this moment, Siwoo was filled with something else.
[Account Balance] – 284,242,000 ￦
The amount printed on the account is 284 million.
A truly beautiful number, with an additional 242,000 won stamped on it.
I kept checking the amount as I came, but I never got tired of looking at it.
“It’s not a dream… is it?”
He raised his hand to pinch the ball, then quickly lowered it.
In fact, I pinched myself dozens of times on my way here.
Because of that, my right cheek was bright red.
284 million.
Assuming a family of four has a monthly living expense of 3 million won, this is a whopping 94 months.
It was an amount that could live on for almost eight years.
Even taking inflation into account, it was a huge amount of money that could support a family of four for seven years.
“iced coffee…!”
How could this not be ecstatic?
Even this was not the end.
Now that Soeun has signed a formal contract with SH Group.
You could continue to make money like this in the future.
And that’s not all.
The more equipment Siu creates, the higher his Divine Metallurgy (SS) proficiency becomes.
And is God’s metallurgy (SS) any ordinary metallurgy?
It was a metallurgy technique containing Hephaestus’ secret recipe, and it was of SS grade.
Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths.
The equipment he made was of high quality and each had special abilities.
Zeus’ spear and axe that allow him to freely manipulate lightning.
Triaina, Poseidon’s trident that grants power over the sea.
What more explanation is needed here?
Of course, there were devices with special abilities on Earth as well.
But there were only a few of them.
There are two main reasons for this.
The empowered crafting could only be done by Master Aurelian.
Because the rest of them could only be obtained from dungeons with extremely low probability.
Therefore, equipment with special abilities was worth the money.
That meant that I could soon gain an additional personality.
But what about Siwoo?
How about Siwoo learning the secrets of Hephaestus!
You could make it if you raised your skill level.
I was able to literally create equipment with special abilities!
This equipment is said to contain the power of gods.
“AA AA AA…!!”
Siwoo’s body trembled with rising joy.
I couldn’t stand the happy fantasy.
How much time did you have to shake it off like that?
“Phew… .”
Siwoo barely managed to come to his senses.
Even though my hands were still shaking, I was able to keep my mind intact.
That would be the case.
[Hwata Channel Membership Subscription Fee] – 100,000,000￦ / month
[Hippocrates Channel Membership Fee] – 100,000,000￦ / month
[Heo Jun Channel Membership Subscription Fee] – 100,000,000 won / month
Because I was so shocked by the money that was about to be spent.
It wasn’t just 100 million.
100 million per month.
A hundred million won is lost every month.
“……”
Is this correct?
really?
Is it right to subscribe to a membership that is so crazy that it makes you go crazy?
Siwoo had no choice but to seriously think about it.
But worries are just worries.
“If only I could cure Seo-ah’s illness.”
If it could cure Seo-ah’s illness, it wouldn’t be a waste at all.
Above all, I could handle it now.
It was a crazy amount of money, 100 million won a month, but it was possible.
Formal contract with SH Group.
If we had just this contract to continuously deliver equipment on a monthly basis, we could easily handle it.
“Whose channel do you subscribe to…?”
Of course, I couldn’t join all three channels.
Then 300 million per month.
No matter what, this wasn’t right.
So I had to choose one.
“Is it Hwa-ta-nya? Hippocrates? Heo-jun?”
It wasn’t easy to pick just one.
Hwa-tu is a legendary doctor known as a divine doctor.
Hippocrates is a legendary ancient physician known as the father of medicine.
Heo Jun is the greatest doctor who established the concept of Oriental medicine and is considered to be the founder of Oriental medicine.
It didn’t matter much which one I chose.
But if you dig deeper, there are specialized areas.
First of all, Hippocrates specialized in Western medicine.
Although it is not an exact concept, it could be said to be specialized in surgery.
Heo Jun was also specialized in internal medicine in Oriental medicine.
And what Si-woo needs is a way to cure Seo-ah’s blood disease.
“Then of course it’s Heo Jun’s side… ”
Because the blood clot that causes blood to die in the blood vessels is likely to be related to internal medicine.
But Si-woo couldn’t choose Heo-jun right away.
“If it’s Hwa-ta….”
Hwa-ta could be said to be a suitable mix of Heo Jun and Hippocrates.
So, Western medicine and Oriental medicine.
It could be said that he was well-versed in both surgery and internal medicine.
You could tell just by looking at the anecdotes related to Hwa-tu.
Meanwhile, he cut into Guan Yu’s flesh and scraped out the poison that had seeped into his bones.
He even tried to cure Cao Cao’s meningitis by splitting his head open.
In addition, he was well-versed in acupuncture and herbal medicine, and it is said that he cured illnesses only with medicine.
“Heo Jun or Hwa Ta?”
A worry that is not easily decided.
In the end, Siwoo decided to watch the video and make a decision.
『
『
『
No matter how I looked at it, it was a video that didn’t seem sane.
“First… let’s start by watching Heo Jun’s channel.”
In addition to the video above, there were many other videos uploaded to the channel.
Siwoo carefully examined each and every video.
but.
“There’s nothing different.”
There was nothing particularly appealing.
Then, Siwoo looked at Hwata’s channel.
and.
『
“uh?”
There was one video that immediately caught my attention.
Siwoo pressed the video as if he was possessed.
and.
“Are you crazy?”
Siwoo was truly at a loss.
In the video, the secret technique that Hwa-ta spoke of was a technique called Wan-cheon-hwa-woo (萬天花雨).
Yes, it was ‘technology’, not ‘medicine’.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of them.
No, it was a technique that rained down needles numbering at least several million.
It is exactly as the name Mancheonhwawoo (萬天花雨) suggests.
The place where the needle shower fell was literally a scorched earth.
Where did you see that secret recipe that can cure any disease?
At that moment, I had such a question.
In the video, Hwa-ta said:
[The best doctor is the one who prevents injury before it occurs.]
[Thus, destroy the enemy so that they cannot get sick or injured.]
[This is the ultimate secret that can cure any disease.]
“ha….”
Is it really worth paying 100 million won for membership?
Siwoo had no choice but to think seriously.
And after an incredibly long period of worry and agony.
Siwoo joined Hwata’s channel.
* * *
next day.
Kaaaang─!! Kaaaang─!
Siwoo was at Seo’s workshop again today, making equipment.
“It’s not easy to polish brittle materials. It can’t be helped, but it’s better to keep polishing to a minimum.”
“Oh, I see. But I heard that it is possible to do it even if it is brittle through precision machining?”
“But it is literally precision machining. It is literally very precise and accurate…”
“So… like this.”
“Huh…? How did you do that just now?”
Discussing with Seo Pal-gwang and learning from each other has become a daily routine.
At that moment, as I was going about my day’s work.
Tinkle!
“Sir, I’m here.”
The door to the workshop opened and a refreshing woman’s voice was heard.
It was a voice that I could tell who it was without having to turn my head.
“So-eun, why do you keep coming here?”
As expected, Seo Pal-gwang spoke with a displeased expression.
But maybe it’s because I’ve been working with Seo Pal-gwang for almost two weeks.
Siwoo was able to get to know the person named Seo Pal-gwang to some extent.
Should I say he’s a bit tsundere?
Even so, you could tell that he was quite pleased with So-eun.
“I’m happy to see you, but unfortunately, I didn’t come here today because of you. Let’s see… Ah! As expected, Siwoo is here too.”
Soeun walked briskly towards Siwoo.
Siwoo put down the hammer for a moment and asked Soeun.
“Are you looking for me?”
“Yes. The cost-effective equipment you gave me last time. I came here to give you the money I paid for it.”
Siwoo opened his eyes looking quite surprised.
How long has it been since I gave it to you and it’s already sold?
“I told you, there is a lot of demand for cost-effective products.”
No matter what, it’s like that.
I had no idea it would sell this quickly.
It was cost-effective, but it seemed like So-eun’s business acumen played a big part in it.
“It all adds up to 32 million won. I’ll deposit it right away.”
Meanwhile, Soeun was fiddling with her smartphone.
A whopping sum of 32 million won.
If it were normal, I would have been shaking in this place.
But why today?
Siwoo couldn’t just be happy.
“So-eun, while you’re here, I have a favor to ask.”
“Please?”
“yes.”
“What is that?! Just tell me anything!”
Suddenly, So-eun pushed her face in and shouted.
Close enough to feel each other’s breath.
As expected, So-eun took a step back and said, “Ah!”
He averted his gaze and made an embarrassed expression.
So-eun was always cheeky and cheerful.
Did you know you could make that kind of expression?
Siwoo opened his mouth with a laugh.
“You said last time that you could get me anything I needed.”
“Yes! Of course! What do you need!?”
“Could you please get me these things too?”
Siwoo took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Soeun.
Soeun quickly accepted it and checked its contents.
“Sanhyang, Gwangbangpung, Bawichi. Baeknyeonsam, Baeknyeonhasuo, Hwandan…”
And as she read down the list, So-eun’s expression became more and more serious.
He also seemed to be in quite a bit of trouble.
“Is it hard to get?”
“It’s not that it’s difficult… No, actually, it’s difficult.”
Soeun let out a small sigh and continued speaking.
“But if it’s a favor for Siwoo, I’ll have to try to get it somehow. It’ll be hard, but… I can definitely get it. But it’s very expensive.”
“How much…?”
“It’s not exact, but if you look at what’s written here….”
Soeun checked what was written on the paper again.
And then he seemed to be doing quick calculations in his head.
“No matter how bad it is, you should think about 200 million.”
‘What the hell.’
Siwoo swallowed his curses inwardly.
For a moment, I thought So-eun was going to hit me, but I quickly shook my head.
Even though it was short, the So-eun that Si-woo saw was not someone who would do something like that.
Above all, in terms of the contract with SH Group, Siwoo was the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Why would you do something so stupid as to offend that goose by telling lies?
Above all, Siwoo also knew that those medicinal herbs were quite precious.
That’s why we could see that the price of 200 million was almost the cost price.
And the reason why Siwoo needs those herbs.
‘I need those to increase my proficiency in the divine arts…’
It is none other than the name of practical training.
Fortunately, I was able to learn that personality by signing up for membership.
Thus learned the divine medicine [S+].
It was a bit disappointing that it wasn’t SS grade, but it was still a very high grade.
I could tell just by looking at the insight.
Even S+ rank is a truly amazing ability.
So, I was also confident that this could cure Seo-ah’s illness.
But the method to increase that skill level was just a fucking mess.
As for materials for making equipment, you can just farm them yourself.
But the herbs were something Siwoo could not do anything about.
I didn’t know how to get it, and I didn’t even know if it was available.
Even if there were items for sale, it would be quite difficult to obtain them one by one.
If it weren’t for So-eun, I probably would have had quite a headache.
“Can I help you?”
“First of all… I’d like to ask you a favor.”
Siwoo nodded heavily.

[Account Balance] – 216,242,000 ￦
210 million and 6.24 million won recorded on the account balance.
It was the amount of 100 million won I paid for the membership fee of the Hwata Channel, plus the 3200 I just earned.
Based on a monthly living expense of 3 million won for a family of four.
It was a huge amount of money that could allow one to live for about six years.
But Siwoo wasn’t considered to be much at all.
“It’s not enough. I don’t have enough money.”
No, it didn’t feel like there was much, it just felt woefully inadequate.
That’s understandable, as the cost of the herbal medicine alone is a whopping 200 million won.
Here, the cost of joining the Hwata Channel membership is 100 million won per month.
And soon, Seo-ah will be discharged from the hospital.
So the promised month was coming to an end.
If we add the cost of Seo-ah’s medicine to this….
“……”
It was truly an unmanageable amount of money.
It was an amount of money that was impossible to handle by manufacturing equipment.
If you raise your proficiency to surpass Master Aurelian, then maybe.
As of now, there is no choice at all.
“If you sell monster corpses….”
It would be a huge profit, but it’s impossible.
Because as soon as I farmed, I had to use it as material for crafting equipment.
Siwoo clutched his head.
I had to make more money somehow.
In addition to manufacturing equipment, another revenue stream had to be created.
And it wasn’t just a penny or two, it had to be at least hundreds of millions.
“Where on earth did you get that kind of money…?”
Right then.
A thought crossed Siwoo’s mind.
“YouTube?”
What would it be like to run Siwoo’s YouTube channel?
