Baek Eun smiled smugly, her ego inflated to the max.
"See? This is my true ability."
"You used to be scared of being discovered, but you've gotten bolder, our Peanut."
"Hehe... hiding your farming skills is really... thrilling! Is this the taste of living with hidden power...!"
Baek Dan shook his head with a reluctant expression at her reaction.
Then he glanced at the news screen on TV and muttered low.
"Be careful. Even if listing on Hunter Market won't get you caught, what if someone sees you farming?"
"That's why I need to purify other land quickly. If there are many people farming besides me, it won't look strange."
"So what. You're the only one who can cultivate buff crops."
Baek Eun lightly shrugged at his words filled with concern and sat beside the sofa.
"No one knows it's a buff crop unless they eat it. Who would dare steal from my farm?"
If there were such a person, I'd punish them immediately.
At her ruthless words, Baek Dan clicked his tongue and pressed down on her shoulder. Then Baek Eun frowned and squirmed.
"Let go! It's heavy!"
"Little sibling who doesn't know the ways of the world. If you were them, wouldn't you steal? They'd secretly come every night and eat everything until the garden is completely empty."
"What? Daring to touch my farm!"
Having escaped from Baek Dan, Baek Eun huffed and added.
"I'll build high fences so the inside can't be seen and hire security companies. Of course, I'll manage it so no one but me can enter!"
What era is this, do I look like a fool to farm openly?
Besides, what she was worried about wasn't that but satellite cameras.
Farm management can be strictly controlled to prevent entry, but satellite camera views can't be avoided.
'Can't put a ceiling over farming either.'
But if farming scenes were seen everywhere, not just from her?
They'd be caught farming, but how would they know she was the cultivator of buff crops among so many farmers.
'Even I only see the buff when eating.'
That was one of the reasons Baek Eun was trying to purify quickly.
"Alright. I'll prepare the security company. By the way, I wonder how the agricultural association will turn out. I'm already looking forward to the reaction."
Of course, I'll block them so they can never approach you.
Baek Dan, who muttered afterward, stretched his body out and rested his head on Baek Eun's back. Then Baek Eun jumped up from the sofa in disgust.
"Are you crazy today? Why are you being annoying?"
Baek Dan, who had knocked his head on the sofa, rubbed the back of his head and grumbled.
"Ow ow, you heartless one...."
"What time are we going to the department store?"
"In 2 hours. But you said you can only purify 3,000 pyeong per hour, when will you purify all that land?"
"I'll have to give up sleeping well for a while, what can I do...."
Baek Eun sighed and plopped down on the floor.
Then she muttered in a small voice.
"Purification skill description."
Constellation Skill: Purification (A)
Restores all contaminated things to their original state and prevents further contamination.
To end the skill in automatic mode, please shout 'Stop purification!'
Note: Skill automatically terminates when used on over 3,000 pyeong.
Cooldown: 1 hour
Current mode: Automatic (default)
Even after checking again, the 3,000 pyeong figure remained unchanged.
Really, when will I purify everything at this rate....
'Judge oppa. Is it possible to rank up constellation skills too?'
[With enough effort, it's not impossible, reports your constellation 'Judge of the Dead'. Fighting!]
'.....'
So how much effort is needed....
Baek Eun recalled the skills she had used so far.
D-rank was 100 pyeong, C-rank was 500 pyeong, B-rank was 1,000 pyeong, A-rank was 3,000 pyeong.
Then what would S-rank be?
5,000 pyeong...? 10,000 pyeong...?
'You could tell me at least this much!'
[My baby doesn't seem to know the difference between S and A is like heaven and earth, giggles your constellation 'Judge of the Dead'.]
Right.... I didn't expect you to tell me directly. I don't know exactly how much, but it sounds like around 10,000 pyeong would be easy.
But so what? It's A-rank now.
'Ugh! Even with ten bodies, it wouldn't be enough!'
If I could just finish the quest, my mind would be a bit easier....
Baek Eun, who had been sighing, suddenly raised her head.
'Wait. There might be a way to finish the quest quickly?'
Baek Eun grinned and looked at Baek Dan.
"What... is that look."
He wiped his neck with a reluctant face at some unknown chill.
"Baek Dan. What do you think about the saying that the more money, the better?"
"Is that even a question? Fuck, of course it's right!"
"Right? Then brother...."
Baek Eun continued with a hehe laugh.
"You have nothing to do after going to the department store today, right? You said you're resting today."
"Y-yeah? That's true, but...."
What kind of scheme is she planning with that strange expression.
Baek Dan subtly avoided her gaze.
But Baek Eun cleanly ignored it and shouted in a bright voice.
"Good! Then let's go to the department store first!"
***
"Hey, Peanut. I really need to use the bathroom."
As soon as they arrived at the department store, Baek Dan spoke in an urgent voice.
So what....
"Then go do your business."
"I'll be back quickly, so look around first."
Baek Eun nodded with a reluctant face.
"Call me when you're done."
"Yeah!"
Watching the back of Baek Dan's head quickly disappearing from sight, Baek Eun smiled and passed through the revolving door to slowly enter inside.
Then a security staff member waiting in front politely requested from her.
"Please show your awakener card."
I knew this would happen, so I stopped by the Management Bureau to get one before coming to the department store!
She took out the freshly issued warm card from her wallet and showed it to the staff.
"Have a pleasant shopping experience."
After passing the security check, a large fountain came into view in the open hall.
And the awakeners passing by it leisurely.
"There are fewer people than I thought."
Contrary to her worries, the department store interior was quiet. Is it because it's an awakener-exclusive department store?
For Baek Eun, who didn't like crowded places, this tranquility was very much to her liking.
"But where should I go?"
She had only received things Baek Dan bought for her, so coming directly was her first time and everything she saw was unfamiliar.
But she couldn't wander around just anywhere. Because entry was restricted according to awakener rank here.
'Wigrium,' the awakener-exclusive department store in Cheongdam-dong.
There was much talk about discrimination against ordinary people when it first opened, but despite that, Wigrium prospered day by day. It couldn't be helped. Equipment was like a lifeline for hunters who went to close dangerous rifts.
24 years ago, Wigrium, which was just a 3-story building, opened three more branches in Seoul and gradually expanded its territory to the metropolitan area and provinces.
Having firmly established itself as Korea's representative awakener-exclusive department store, Wigrium created ranks even within the department store.
"Should I just wait."
Anyway, she's C-rank, so without Baek Dan, she can't even go to the top floor he wants to take her to.
While scratching the back of her head, just as Baek Eun was about to step toward the department store guide map.
"Are you Dan-a's sibling?"
A cave-like voice came from behind her.
Who is it? Tilting her head and turning around, what came into view was a face she also knew well.
"Mr. Go Daehan?"
"I wasn't sure, but it is you. Why are you here alone like this?"
Go Daehan spoke with a very happy smile on his lips.
No. What's with the friendliness?
Anyone would think we've known each other for about 3 years.
"I'm not here alone."
"I see. I came alone."
So what....
Go Daehan was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, but perhaps due to his tall height and face, people around them were glancing at him.
Baek Eun felt a bit uncomfortable as gazes began to gather, but held it in.
Because she had been looking for a way to approach Go Daehan, she was secretly glad about this meeting now.
'I couldn't find his contact info because Baek Dan's phone has a password, so this is good.'
While Baek Eun was contemplating how to naturally exchange contact info with him.
Go Daehan spoke with a pleasant smile on his lips.
"You know? I thought about you a lot."
