An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse

chapter 63



second wave (1)

*Hidden bricks.

[Description]: There is a portal to a hidden room under the bricks.

I took out the dimensional pickaxe from my inventory and slammed it on the floor.

[999,999,999.9]

what? The dimensional pickaxe’s mining power is 4, and at least 4 must be scraped, but the floor is only 0.1 mined.

Besides, the meaning of that ignorant stamina bar was clear.

‘I can’t get in with a pickaxe.’

If so, this is the only way.

I reached out my hand to the floor.

<Special disassembly>

The black haze from the palms enveloped the floor, and the floor disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed in the first place.

There was a blue energy overflowing under the disappeared space.

I’ve never seen a portal made this way, so I use insight.

*portal.

[Rating]: Myth

[Function]: A portal to a secret room.

[Condition]: Myth level.

“what?”

I’ve seen level restrictions attached to portals, but this is the first time I’ve seen rank restrictions.

Also, since the condition is Shinhwa, only 5 people in the world, including me, can enter.

‘It’s a space created just for me.’

I couldn’t think of anything else.

To get to the secret room, you have to specially disassemble the floor.

Excited, I threw myself into the portal in the ground.

Shuung!

***

As soon as I arrived at the hidden room, the portal disappeared and the first thing I saw was a golden parchment floating in the middle of the room.

thump!

thump!

Seeing the color of the parchment made my heart beat like crazy.

It has to be.

Parchment means scenario.

Gold means myth level.

The grade of a scenario never seen before in open beta!

Considering that the final reward of the Hero Scenario is the Hero reward, the end of the mythic level must be the mythic level reward.

Of course, the difficulty will be difficult, but I will definitely be able to attack it.

The hand he reached for the parchment trembled as if he had a tremor.

[Myth grade scenario has arrived.]

*Find Carmen’s treasure.

[Rating]: Myth.

[Classification]: Hidden Scenario-1

[Content]: Find all 4 treasures that Carmen has hidden for mankind and save mankind.

[target]:

-Achieved Lv 20.

– Q10’s cubic.

[compensation]:

-Artemis Temple (Rare) Package.

[occurrence condition]:

– The Beginning Alchemist.

-Construct 1 Wonder Building.

Somehow the rating was high…

It was a job scenario.

A job scenario is a linked scenario given to every job and starts when certain conditions are met.

In the case of a rare grade or lower, the condition was level 20 and hero grade 30.

However, the condition of this scenario is to build 1 wonder building in the beginning of the alchemist.

‘It was designed only for me.’

I read and analyzed the scenario slowly once again.

The reward is the Temple of Artemis, a great wonder that can solve most of your food problems.

‘The problem is the goal…’

Level 20 is no big deal, but Q10’s cubic is the problem.

Q10 is a boss monster that appears in the underground waterway on the 3rd floor of the tower. I have caught it many times, but I have never given an item called Cubic.

No, in the first place, the only items that can be acquired by catching the boss monster in Area 1 are the boss card and the seal.

‘Where the hell do I get that?’

I don’t know.

let’s move first

‘By the way, where is the portal?’

No matter how much I search the cave, I can’t find a portal leading out.

I used my insightful eye to scan every nook and cranny of the room.

“Wow, I’ve hidden the secret device over there.”

The place where the secret device is is also an ordinary space where the right wall and the floor meet.

When I kicked it, the stone wall opened, and bright blue energy flowed out of the door.

“no way···.”

I entered the aisle with a fluttering heart.

As expected, the identity of the brilliant blue aura emanating from the aisle was a crystal of magic crystal.

*Magic Stone.

[Rating]: Advanced.

[Classification]: Ore-Special.

[Description]: It is a shining stone with magical power. The grade is different depending on the color.

[Function]: A material for magic items.

He quickly took out his pickaxe and slammed it against the wall.

bang!

[396]

As expected, it is a special mineral, so it has 4 times more health than soil.

Bang!

[388]

I took off my jumper and happily slammed down the wall.

Bang!

….

….

[You have obtained the Magic Stone.]

The dimensional pickaxe was definitely good. If I had hit it with a different pickaxe, I would have gotten a piece.

Come to think of it, how many pieces of Mu-i did you collect?

Open your inventory to see the pieces.

2 magic crystal pieces, 1 mithril piece, 2 Oriharukon pieces.

Fragments can be taken to an alchemist and exchanged in a ratio of 5:1.

The problem is, in order to change in District 1, you have to open the alchemist’s combination function through investment.

Of course, that doesn’t apply to me.

If you learn advanced alchemy, you can combine the pieces.

‘This isn’t what’s important right now.’

First of all, let’s find the exit and finish mining the magic stones.

I used my keen eye to move my steps down the aisle.

The passageway was studded with magic crystals, enough to make it unnecessary to use torches.

After 10 minutes of moving, the passage ended and led to a cave where nothing could be seen.

I took out a sphere and gave it the fire attribute.

As the darkness dissipated as fire rose from the orb, the black mineral that filled the cave came into view.

“what!”

It was iron ore.

If you use a dimensional pickaxe at this level, you can probably mine more than 300 iron ores a day.

“Awesome.”

however···.

Where is the portal?

Once again, I used my wisdom eye to search through the passage and returned to the secret room.

“does not exist···.”

In an instant, goose bumps ran through my body.

If I hadn’t brought the return order, I would have been trapped here and never escaped.

“crazy.”

I quickly called black.

“Hey, Portalo.”

A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I saw the portal being created in front of me.

“phew···.”

Now, if you build a homunculus here, you can stably secure iron ore and magic stones.

Even if you can’t do it, you can basically mine 20 magic stones and 300 iron ores per day.

Check the homunculus you can make with the materials you currently have.

*Mud Homunculus Lv 1.

[Rating]: Normal

[Classification]: Homunculus

[Description]: A homunculus used for simple tasks such as mining, possessing goblin-level intelligence.

[Materials]:

– 100 clay or earth essence, 1 magic stone.

-1,000 coins.

[Function]: Mining and logging.

[Maintenance]: 50 coins per day.

I checked the essence of the soil in my inventory and stretched out my right hand in the air.

<Production of Homunculus>

[100 Essence of Earth has been consumed.]

[One magic stone has been consumed.]

A black aura came out of the palm of his hand and created a 1m tall golem made of mud.

[The production of the clay homunculus has been completed.]

[The first homunculus was created.]

[You have obtained the Homunculus Crafting Package (Advanced).]

“As expected, it seems like a game with a generous initial reward.”

Advanced package available right away.

[You have acquired 1,000 stones.]

[You have acquired 10 magic cores.]

[You have acquired 500 Earth Essence.]

[You have acquired 5 Mithril.]

[You have acquired 5 Oriharukons.]

<Dimensional homunculus creation>

[250 stones have been consumed.]

[5 magic cores have been consumed.]

[200 Essence of Earth has been consumed.]

[The production of the dimensional homunculus has been completed.]

*Dimensional Homunculus Lv 1.

[Rating]: Advanced

[Classification]: Homunculus

[explanation]:

-As a homunculus that collects and transports resources, it possesses human-like intelligence.

[Materials]:

[Maintenance fee]: 100 coins per day.

[Function]: Dimensional passage.

-Transport items between dimensional homunculus by creating a dimensional passage.

-Opening fee: 1,000 coins.

-Only one dimensional passage can be opened per entity.

The appearance of a dimensional homunculus was different from that of a mud golem.

He was one head taller than me, who is over 180 cm tall. Almost twice the size. A magical power core with a blue aura was embedded in its chest.

– Koo!

As I looked at myself, he bowed his head to me.

It’s definitely worth it when you’re at an advanced level.

He pointed at the clay homunculus with his finger and opened his mouth.

“Your mission is to dig magic crystals and iron ores with him, okay?”

– Koo!

The guy who received the dimensional pickaxe ordered the clay homunculus to start mining.

Decided to watch them for a while.

Perhaps because it had only one pickaxe, the dimensional homunculus stood still and watched the clay homunculus work.

20 minutes passed.

[You have obtained the Magic Stone.]

Another 10 minutes passed.

[You have obtained iron ore.]

I don’t have to worry about it, but it’s too slow at this rate.

Fly to Toxic Fortress, make two Dimensional Pickaxes, take enough Earth Essence, and come back to craft another Mud Golem.

“You go over there too.”

check the time.

It was already 5:30 in the morning.

Minerals will be newly regenerated soon.

“I must hurry.”

Bang!

After collecting magic stones by 6 am.

After receiving the 2nd floor scenario reward and returning to the fortress, the sun was rising over the temple.

“The dawn is very pretty.”

Even though human history is heading to the end, nature was still beautiful.

Puff!

I looked down at the sound of a pickaxe and saw that the pavilion had been moved right next to the temple. The ground right in front of it disappeared with the light.

“hello. Master.”

The newly recruited dwarf came up through a hole in the floor.

“yes. hello. But why here…?

“Raul told me to clear the road to this place.”

I was about to tell Raoul to make way for the fortress’ center had been moved from Semadae to the Temple of Conquest, but it went well.

“okay. Could I go down now?”

“yes. master.”

The young dwarf climbed up and went down using the ladder attached to the wall. As if he had already started working, he heard the sound of pickaxes here and there.

‘Everyone is diligent.’

After going down about 10m and going a little further to the right, the square came out.

“Did you move the plaza?”

“huh! In addition to Seo Kang-joon Square, all the main buildings of the warehouse and research institute have been moved!”

Like Raul, he’s quick to get things done.

“Where was the original entrance?”

“It’s closed there.”

“good job. Raul. Where is Khalk-sama?”

“A bow is being made at the forge!”

“smithy?”

“huh! follow me Seo Kang-joon!”

After following Raoul to the left of the square about 100m inside, there was a large cave where the dwarves were working hard to make something.

“master. Are you here?”

“Yes, Khalk, but when did you make this place?”

In the cave, there were many modern equipment brought by Yuharin, including the anvil and furnace needed for the forge.

“I made it with Miss Harin while Master was at the tower. Do you like it?”

“awesome. Calc-sama, with a facility like this, you can make magic core bars, right?”

“It’s possible if you have magic stones.”

I took out 10 magic stones from my inventory and handed them to Khalk.

“oh! You’re already a master to find magic stones. I’ll make a magic core right away. It will probably take about 10 hours.”

“Yes, and about 10 magic stones and 300 iron ores will come in every day.”

“Did you find the iron mine?”

Calc’s voice contained excitement and excitement.

“yes. Calc. Where can I store the ore?”

“I’m thinking of building a mineral warehouse in that corner, so put it there.”

“yes. wait a minute.”

Move to the location indicated by Khalk.

He stretched out his hand and created a homunculus.

[The dimensional homunculus has been produced.]

I used the dimensional passage function on the homunculus that was just created and the homunculus in the secret room.

[The dimensional passage has been opened.]

[The goods are being transported.]

When the dimensional homunculus reached out, a small portal was created and minerals fell through it.

“Really, the master’s ability knows no bounds.”

Calc’s eyes were filled with amazement.

“What. Well, thank you. Khalk-sama.”

“Just trust me!”

After that, we spent a busy time preparing for the second wave.

***

June 13th at 4 am.

Before the second wave started, Raul and I went to inspect the fortress.

The first place we moved to was the western wall.

“Seo Kang-joon! This is enough for a second wave!”

As Raoul said, the tower was plastered inside the wall.

Two attribute towers are installed for each type, and zombie towers are installed at 50m intervals.

“Let’s go somewhere else.”

On my way to the other wall, two dwarves on guard greeted me and passed by.

There were so many towers installed, and there were even a guard tower and a command tower, so two guards were enough.

“Perfect, Seo Kang-joon!”

“Uh, Raoul.”

Check the tower information of the fortress.

[Build Towers]: 100/150

-Range upgrade: 1/10.

-Attack power upgrade: 1/10.

-Upgrade count increase: 1/10.

A total of 32 attribute towers were installed in the fortress, except for 2 guard towers and 1 command tower, all were zombie towers.

Probably at this size, except for the boss, zombies will fall down every step they come.

After patrolling the fort. I waited for the second wave with my colleagues on top of the western wall.

After a while.

[The second wave has begun.]
