36.The Third Subspace (3)
"What should I eat first?"
The Tortoise Shell Herb was a plant that resembled a turtle's shell. Its texture was so hard that I worried if I could even chew it.
The Crimson Vine was an Elixir in the shape of a sphere, about the size of my palm, formed by a cluster of red vines.
'It looks like a Devil Fruit.'
The Mist Herb was the most fascinating. It was a semi-transparent herb that even flowed like a liquid when touched.
It was quite amazing how it returned to its original shape when I took my hand away.
Anyway, I was a little worried, with three Elixirs in front of me. That's because the effects of Elixirs diminish if you consume them consecutively.
It was best to eat another Elixir after the energy of the Elixir that entered the body was completely absorbed.
-Tortoise Shell Herb helps improve Stamina, Crimson Vine helps improve Agility, and Mist Herb helps improve Mana Stats.
Fortunately, I had Chunbae.
-Since your Mana Stat is currently high, I recommend you eat the Mist Herb later.
"Roger that. I should give the Mist Herb to Uncle."
Uncle, who had been running Gates with pure physical Stats since Yong-yong wasn't around, lacked Mana.
He would be very happy if I gave this to him.
From the start, I didn't intend to eat them all myself. I also planned to give Uncle one of the Quasi-elixirs with the Cold attribute.
I could share enough of the Elixirs that came out of the farm in the future.
I wasn't stingy about it at all. Uncle was my benefactor.
If it weren't for Uncle, I would have died on the streets.
"Then, should I eat the Tortoise Shell Herb first?"
-Good choice.
"Will I get some Skill or something if I eat this too?"
-The probability of acquiring a Skill from a Grade C Elixir is extremely low. It must be at least Grade B.
I had expected it because of the two previous cases, but originally, acquiring a Skill from eating an Elixir was rare.
While I felt disappointed, I also had a question.
"But what's the criteria for acquiring a Skill after eating an Elixir?"
I ate the Grade A Sun Bloom and acquired Grade A Fire Resistance. On the other hand, I ate the Grade B Moonlight herb and acquired Grade E Cold Resistance.
Even if there was a difference in Grade, the difference in Grade between the Skills acquired was too severe.
-It's the difference in the Grade of the Elixir and compatibility.
"Explain in detail."
As soon as I said that, I realized my mistake. Chunbae didn't know moderation.
"Not too detailed."
-First of all, you should think that the difference between Grade A and Grade B is more significant than the difference between Grade B and Grade D.
I had heard that the higher the level of an Awakened's Skill, the more noticeable the difference in Grade became.
In the case of items, they were not growth-type, so their specs were vastly different from the beginning.
The Grade A Elixir I had eaten was a rare item, with less than ten existing on Earth.
Unlike Grade B, which had a certain price, it was impossible to put a value on it.
-Nevertheless, the reason Han Hye-nim acquired Grade A Fire Resistance after eating the Grade A Elixir is because the compatibility was very good. Usually, you would acquire Grade B or C.
"Compatibility?"
-It refers to the nature of the body and the nature of the Elixir. This is also the reason why different effects appear even when eating the same Elixir.
The compatibility of the body and the Elixir.
I thought it was like herbal medicine or tonic. I had heard that red ginseng could be bad for the body depending on the constitution.
"I think I know roughly what it is."
Nodding, I picked up the Tortoise Shell Herb.
[Tortoise Shell Herb (Grade C)]
-A plant with thick leaves stacked in layers, resembling a turtle's shell. It contains the vitality that has endured for a long time in a barren environment.
-Consuming it will likely make the body a little stronger.
However, there was a concern. The problem was that the texture was really as hard as a turtle's shell.
"But how do I eat this? It's not usually this hard. Aren't my teeth going to fall out? Should I peel off the shell and eat it?"
-Don't chew it right away, but hold it in your mouth and wait until it softens.
Oh, such a method?
As Chunbae said, when I held the Tortoise Shell Herb in my mouth, I felt the hardness gradually softening. At the same time, Mana spread through my mouth.
'As expected of Chunbae.'
After about a minute, it was at a level where I could chew it, so I chewed it thoroughly and swallowed it without hesitation.
After waiting for the energy of the Tortoise Shell Herb to spread through my body for a while, I immediately checked my Status Window.
[Lv22 Void Lord, Han Hye]
Strength: 28
Agility: 28
Stamina: 31(+3)
Spirit: 23
Mana: 39(+1)
Spare Points: 19
Skills: Subspace (Grade S) lv3, Leap (Grade A)lv2, Fire Resistance (Grade A)lv2, Fighting Cock (Grade C)lv3, Imperial Basic Swordsmanship (Grade E)lv4, Cold Resistance (Grade E)lv1, *Wind Split (lv1)
Stamina increased by 3 and Mana by 1. I was satisfied that four Stats had increased with the suddenly dropped Elixir.
Since I had quite a few Spare Points left, I consulted with Chunbae and allocated the Stats.
[Lv22 Void Lord, Han Hye]
Strength: 30(+2)
Agility: 30(+2)
Stamina: 35(+4)
Spirit: 30(+7)
Mana: 40(+1)
Spare Points: 3
After that, I stored the harvested Elixirs and planted the seeds back in the farm as Chunbae advised.
1 confirmed seed, 1 seed left by Jeondae for experimentation, and 4 Quasi-elixir seeds.
There was no problem because the Subspace could divide the area and make time flow. Of course, it was the same as real time.
That being said, it took a week for the energy that lingered in my body when I ate the Moonlight herb last time to disappear.
'If it's Grade C, will it take about 5 days?'
Next, I could eat the Crimson Vine. There was also one more Grade C Elixir coming from the Association.
After that, the Quasi-elixir would grow, so I could eat that and then eat the Elixir that came from the confirmed seed.
This crazy Subspace...
Before I knew it, I was in a position where I had to make a schedule to eat Elixirs that others had difficulty even finding.
"You lucky bastard! You said three came out?"
It was only natural, but Uncle was very envious when I said that three Elixirs had succeeded in the Subspace.
When he heard that the farm had been created two days ago, he was surprised and happy that the Yong-yong's food problem had been solved.
"You should have become a Spatialist if you were so jealous."
"You have to let me!"
Hmm. That was true.
I grinned and took out the Mist Herb from the Subspace.
"Why are you so envious? Of course, there's one for Uncle too."
Uncle quickly changed his expression at my words.
"Really?"
"Would I lie?"
"Of course not. Our Han Hye wouldn't do that."
"......?"
I tilted my head at the sudden use of honorifics, and Uncle smiled broadly and bowed playfully.
"Dragon and Elixir... I will not forget the grace of my lord."
I was about to say that I was repaying the favor, but I just laughed, wondering if such talk was necessary between us.
"Alright, you rascal."
"What?"
Uncle glared at me fiercely.
I immediately responded.
As I took a step back and tried to put the Mist Herb back into the Subspace, Uncle changed his expression again.
"...Oh dear. I guess it's because I'm getting old, but my ears aren't very good."
"Is that so? Hmm. I'm a little thirsty from talking so much."
"The Spatialist can conjure water with a flick of her wrist! I will quickly prepare some cool ice water!"
Well, that was enough joking around.
"It's okay. It's supposed to help with Mana Stats. Eat it quickly. And let's go to the training center."
"Thank you, Hye-ya."
Uncle grinned.

[Ogre appears in Level 16-20 Gate? Elementalist uses Escape Secretary...].
[Dinosaur Guild breaks through Level-restricted survival gate!].
[Not only did they endure in the survival gate where the Ogre appeared, but they 'annihilated' the Monster!].
It was only natural, but this Level-restricted survival gate subjugation became a hot topic in the world.
This was because it was a place that was receiving a lot of attention from people as the Gate Break was imminent.
Of course, I, an S+ Grade Awakened, and Uncle Cheolgi, a Dragon Knight, were also hot topics in the industry these days.
High-level Hunters were also interested in our Level-restricted survival subjugation.
'I knew it, but it was more than I expected.'
The subjugation situation was even broadcast live by reporters. Well, it was all about the escape of Elementalist Kim Seung-tae and the appearance of the Ogre.
I found out about this later. The Association didn't bother to stop the broadcast because they knew I would subjugate it without any problems.
'It's a good thing in a way.'
It was known that I had overcome a difficult situation where an Ogre appeared and used the Escape Secretary in a situation where the world's attention was focused.
In other words, the interest in and value of me and Uncle had increased even more.
[How did they catch the Ogre and come out?? Is this a lie??]
What became a hot topic above all else was the subjugation of the Ogre.
This was because it was usually hard to believe that a party below Level 20 had caught an Ogre.
'I would have doubted it too.'
In fact, it was not just hard to believe, but close to impossible.
It was the same situation as when other people couldn't believe that I had encountered a Dragon.
-The rookie hype is too much;; Is an Ogre even possible?
┗lol It's a bit much
┗The Association has confirmed it, so stop the nonsense
┗So, isn't that Association confirmation a lie?
┗The lie has already been proven during the Magic stone settlement;; The purity and size are exactly that of an Ogre's, as shown in the photos
┗How do you know if the Association fabricated it? They say they're rude, so didn't they bribe the Association?
┗Why would the Association fabricate that? What's the benefit?
There was quite a bit of controversy on Hunter Net as well. Of course, the people who were trying to slander us were all anonymous.
-I think it's true, but I'm really curious about how they did it
┗That's why it's a fabrication lol Subspace isn't invincible. Does a missile come out of the Subspace?
┗But considering what they've done so far, it might really come out;;
Not a missile, but Elixirs, Secret Arts, and Weaponry do come out...
In fact, I had thought about that too. Park Seo-woong had put a bomb in my Subspace.
I could throw the bomb outside and hide in the Subspace.
-Isn't it because they're an S+ Grade Awakened and a Dragon Knight?
┗Well, if it's true, it's more likely that the Dragon Knight caught it;
┗Yeah, how can a Spatialist catch an Ogre when they're not even a vanguard;; What would a Dragon Knight with a Dragon do.
Hmm. I was the one who caught it, not Uncle... I couldn't help but laugh at the thought that I wasn't a vanguard.
I couldn't show them how.
-Fact) It's true that they caught the Ogre. Stop the slander
┗Huh? Really?
┗Yeah, confirmed
┗299.59 is legit
Well, I didn't get too worked up. The public opinion turned in my favor after someone's comment.
In fact, I found out about this controversy because of Min-jae.
-Hyung, can I say that the Subspace is immune to physical attacks?
He suddenly called me, so I asked him why. After seeing the situation, I told him not to say it.
It didn't matter if he said it, but I wondered if people would believe it unless Min-jae revealed his face and verified it on Hunter Net.
'In the first place, the guys who don't believe it are almost all anonymous.'
While I understood the suspicion, Min-jae's voice was very excited.
Was he a little angry at the sight of me being ignored? I felt a little grateful and told him to calm down.
[Dinosaur Guild ← How do I join here??]
Moreover, while I was reading the posts, the topic had turned to our Guild.
To put it bluntly, had the bait been switched?
[I'm a Level 23 Healer with a Grade B Healing Skill, is it possible to join the Dinosaur Guild??]
-If you're a Grade B Healer, you can't lol They recruited a Grade A Healer who went with them this time
┗Is a Grade B Magician possible?
┗I heard a Grade A Magician joined?
┗Damn;; Are they all Grade A Skill holders?
┗It's a dream team of latecomers lol
As I was looking at Hunter Net, I found a noticeable comment. It was someone using the IP '299.59'.
I hadn't really been interviewed outside, but this person knew our situation too well.
-How does 299.59 know such news?
┗It's a secret
┗They're a scout (estimated) and an information source. They said they caught it, so the slander disappeared
A person presumed to be a scout knows our news well...
Could it be sniper Seo Seung-yeon?
It made sense that she knew the information because she was Min-jae's cousin.
However, Seo Seung-yeon's usual image and her appearance on Hunter Net didn't quite match.
Or maybe it was a Guild member like Seo Seung-yeon. They would have heard the story through someone else.
-But was there a Grade A Healer in the latecomer team? Wasn't the one who went with them this time a foreigner? Why haven't I heard of it?
┗Right? I haven't heard of it either;; I thought they had requested cooperation from a foreign Hunter?
┗lol There's a granddaughter of a chaebol, so it's not in the media
┗How do you know that?
Granddaughter of a chaebol?
I tilted my head and refreshed the comments to see the new comments.
-(Deleted comment)
-(Deleted comment)
-(Deleted comment)
The comment that there was a Grade A Healer in the latecomer team had disappeared. I was quite taken aback.
Chaebol? I couldn't even imagine it.
But in the circumstances, it felt like Lee Shin-hee was really the granddaughter of a chaebol.
I remembered her trying to give me the pendant while looking around. When I thought about it, I wondered if she had no attachment to the item, but was that not the case?
Moreover, even the comments on Hunter Net were deleted.
Lee Shin-hee this person...
Was a scary person?
