Acquired the Supernatural Ability to Recover Like Crazy

12 – Finding Enhancements

After killing Slender Man the other day, I tried to collect the hundreds of millions of won worth of bounty that was put on his head.

But these cops just can’t believe that I, a normal person, killed Slender Man.

Of course, Cha Yeon-hwa hit the last shot. But Slender Man was already mortally wounded by my bullet. So it was as if I had caught it. Still, I couldn’t claim the bounty.

This is partly because I couldn’t prove it.

‘I’ll be damned if I show the Tommy I used in the fight.’

Cheonrim was a country with very strict gun laws. Isn’t it okay because it’s an artifact? Could it be that A gun is a gun.

Additionally, since it is a world full of all sorts of crimes, there is no such thing as a juvenile juvenile. If I did anything wrong even once, I would go straight to prison.

‘I didn’t use Tommy only in the slums for nothing.’

Reluctantly, I asked Aram to lie to me.

[Couldn’t you tell me that your sister killed it?]

[Yes, I only trust you.]

The funny thing is that the police ignored Aram’s claim at first. He even snorted, saying how the unknown Awakener was able to kill that newcomer.

Still, in the case of Aram, we additionally investigated her identity, and in the process, the fact that she was from Baekun was revealed to the whole world.

Furthermore, my graduation grade was second.

Due to hard training, Baegun is a place where the number of graduates does not exceed 100 each year. A seat in such a place. This was, above all else, a great possibility. Compensation came immediately.

I was happy to have money, but a problem arose that I hadn’t considered before.

In order to praise him for killing Slender Man, the Cheonrim government openly awarded Aram a medal.

This incident was also covered in the news, and Aram instantly rose to star status.

‘That’s a good thing.’

Requests poured in to Aram from all over the place. If, however, she were a slightly competent person, she would have collapsed here. But she was a very capable person. She completed many of her requests quickly and perfectly.

Of course, word of mouth continued to ride, and the ransom price was constantly rising, reaching billions of won.

Ring, just in time, the phone placed in the office rang. Bonamana was a request call.

She offered a job, but honestly, I’m worried.

The amount of money I can give to Aram is only tens of millions of won. A request worth billions of won is coming in, do you really want to accept it?

“Of course!”

Aram’s response was very positive, putting his concerns to shame.

She grabbed my hand, moved her tail, and turned off her ringing phone. When the phone rang again, she unplugged it altogether.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I wasn’t planning on accepting requests for the time being anyway. Ah? Eunhyun will continue to accept her requests for free, so you shouldn’t worry?”

Aram, who boasts a ransom worth billions of won, will accept my request for free. Something about that made me feel good. But this isn’t much.

It is right to pay the price you can afford. The moment I tried to transfer money to my phone, I was stopped.

“Bitter, bad hands. No sleeve tucks.”

“… ….”

“Would you like to take a look at your sister’s bank account balance?”

One, ten, hundred, thousand… How many zeros are there? Money worth more than 10 billion won was stamped into the bank account.

Even that was the profit I made in a month or so. At this point, it was no different from the well-known S-class heroes.

“If it was someone else, I would have received the money unconditionally. But Eunhyun doesn’t want to take money from you alone. Wasn’t it all thanks to you who came to ask me for my insignificant older sister’s success?”

It was a calm gaze that did not shake an inch. I felt that Aram sincerely thought so. But this is a gross illusion.

I know the original. Even if it wasn’t for me, Aram would have been the best solver. It’s just the difference between being early or late.

“Come often instead, see my older sister!”

Aram clung to him and rubbed his cheek against the head. Do cats and animals do this? It was like a dog or something.

“…… Can’t I ask for a request soon?”

“Oh? That’s right, sssssham!”

Aram brought out a blue box. At first glance, it seemed like a portfolio with local information of Cheonrim organized.

“Did you just update the investigation of Seonhong area?”

I got a little goosebumps at that remark. The area I was going to ask for an investigation today was Seonhong. Did you update it just in time?

“Did you investigate my background?”

“That can’t be. A background investigation!”

The attitude of gibberish is very suspicious. I asked while tilting my head slightly.

“Really?”

“Really! My sister didn’t do a separate background investigation. The cats told me everything!”

I was aware of that. I’ve been seeing a lot of stray cats in front of my house lately.

“Thanks, I opened a few cans of tuna… …. Ugh, anyway! My sister didn’t do such a dismal thing!”

Chin! Aram’s face looked like a well-ripe persimmon when he finished speaking by hitting his chest once. It also has a taste for teasing. I wanted to play more, but let’s stop for now.

“Thank you. It saved me time.”

“By the way, why are you trying to find out about the Seonhong area?”

“Do you remember the last time I fought Slender Man? When my neck bone was shattered in half, it was difficult to breathe.”

“Ah….”

“Don’t make that face. You’re fine thanks to my sister.”

In this cartoon world, medical technology follows the Earth almost closely. Therefore, as usual, I should have undergone major surgery to fix the fractured neck joint by driving several iron rods.

The reason why it wasn’t like that was thanks to Aram pouring the potion on time.

Potions that are classified as Artifacts because they are made by Awakeners have no effect on diseases. There is no cure for that common cold. But it worked really well for trauma.

Even if a body part was cut off, as long as you brought it to the cut surface and poured the potion on it within the right time, it would stick together intact and be able to use it as before.

Even on Earth, where medical technology is highly developed, there is no tool that is as effective in treating trauma as a potion.

The reason these over-technical items were added to the manga was probably to reduce the number of characters retiring due to injuries.

“At that time, you will need some potions. I thought so. There are people in Seonhong who know how to make potions.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Aram had a puzzled expression. It was worth it. When she investigated, there would be no information on people who could make potions in the Seonhong area.

This was natural. Even Aram cannot collect information that does not yet exist.

Actually, he didn’t even realize his own talent yet. Seriously, doing chores at a restaurant?

“You know.”

“Yes.”

“If the purpose is to obtain potions, my sister knows someone. Shall I introduce him?”

“It’s not just because of the potion.”

A temporary awakening enhancer.

Although it is temporary as the name suggests, it is a doping drug that forcibly raises the physical abilities of ordinary people to a level similar to that of awakened people.

The girl I was looking for was the person who made such an absurd leap.

A drug-taking hero. Doping hero. Isn’t something a bit off? In the meantime, I had a strong resistance to drugs, so I wondered if I had to find him. Come to think of it, that was a really fat sound.

I am not a hero, and this is a world where there is always the risk of being killed. The means to protect the body were not enough even after endlessly seeking.

But what did you do when you openly said you were going to get doping drugs? So he said something else.

“He’s kind of cute.”

Kwakwang! There was a thunderclap somewhere. Aram slumped down in his seat.

“Move quickly! You slugs!”

The head chef shouted loudly, with veins on his neck.

“Move your hands! Sihyeon, once you’ve finished grilling your steak, start with plating. Siwoo, is that the consistency of the stew? And Tanael! Oh, my God!”

Dirakit von Tanael, the girl whose name was suddenly called, shuddered.

“How long are you going to keep peeling potatoes!”

The executive chef, angry at Dirakit’s speed of work, walked up to her.

“Before I cut off your paycheck like that ugly potato, you’ll have to work properly!”

Sigh, the head chef, who poured out his anger, moved to manage other tasks.

Potato peeling is a job directly entrusted by the head chef, and hundreds of potatoes have already been peeled in the morning alone. Dirakit’s work was never slow.

Everyone in the kitchen knew that this was just a matter of anger. But there was no one to comfort her.

It wasn’t simply because of the head chef’s notice.

A pair of horns that grow little by little on Dirakit’s head. That said, it was one thing.

A hybrid of human and demon blood.

There is a sense of being buried because the monster was so messed up, but demons were also one of the main forces that harassed humans.

As a result, there were an infinite number of people who suffered from the pain of demons.

In particular, Seonhong is a place that experienced tragedy due to the invasion of the Great Devil only ten years ago.

It is only natural to hate humans who are of mixed blood with demons. Dirakit thought so too. So he always lived in resignation to the contempt directed at him.

“Go and take out the trash!”

I quickly stood up at the head chef’s cry.

Chrill!

I worked while kneeling all day. My legs were a bit numb, but I shouldn’t show pain here.

I will definitely tell you to stop. It couldn’t be. Dira Kit had a dream of opening his own restaurant. For that, you still need experience and money.

I carried a large trash can outside with a whimper.

“A cat?”

A rainy day.

A boy was standing in a place full of stray cats.
