ALL NOVEL Ch 3
Chapter 3
A stunning option for the Guardian’s Rubigem beeswax candle, made possible by the player’s crafting work.

______________________________
Rubigem honey, royal jelly and propolis.
In game terms, honey was both a food and a potion, while royal jelly and propolis were a mix of potions and buffs.
Sung-hyuk shook his head, though the effect was probably very minimal compared to the Guardian’s Rubigem beeswax candle.
“The possibilities with bees are endless.”
Beeswax candles are also a result of processing beeswax with mana through skill.
This means that honey and royal jelly can be processed as well.
Well, that would have to be done by unlocking the skill through a hidden feature in the system. Sung-hyuk had his own ideas.
“I don’t even know if there is something hidden, and I’ve been sitting here for years waiting for it.”
After 24 years of being a beekeeper, Sung-hyuk already knows how to process honey and royal jelly.
What’s more, the tools needed for the processing are already there, ready to be used expertly.
Then what he’s curious about here is this part.
Will there actually be changes to items in the processing method other than using skills?
“… might be worth a try.”
In a way, it leaves one wondering.
But Sung-hyuk didn’t think too hard about it.
“I guess I’ll give it a shot and see.”
When in doubt, just try it and see how it goes.
If it fails and leads to a loss of honey, so be it.
[Rubigem worker bee (★-) has collected honey, current honey status 22.366%]
[Rubigem worker bee (★-) has collected honey, current honey status 23.022%]
…….
The honey will be made up anyway, thanks to the hardworking bees.
Even if he fails, he gains experience, and that’s enough for Sung-hyuk.
“Let’s start with honey, which has plenty of room.”
It’s always better to start with the relatively large number of 31 honeys than the 2 royal jellies.
In addition, Sung-hyuk chose a relatively easy method from the beginning rather than a complicated and difficult machining method.
“This is the best basic processing for honey.”
The first is literally water boiled to the right temperature and mixed with Rubigem honey.
The beeping sound that accompanies the completion of the so-called honey tea.
[You have successfully crafted an item without the aid of a skill].
[Crude Success! Rubigem Honey Tea (★-) has been created].

“Nice!”
Although the result was a ★- grade with a “crude success” that he hadn’t seen before, Sung-hyuk raised his hands in joy at having gained the skill.
* * * * *
Creating items without skills that have changed like a game.
In fact, this is easier said than done, and harder to accomplish.
Making honey tea by simply boiling water and adding honey to it may seem like a simple process.
But bees and humans have a long history of getting along, and not just for a year or two.
As short as hundreds of years, and as long as hundreds of millions of years.
Coexistence with bees has continued since the Stone Age.
And as long as that is the case, there are more ways to process the byproducts that bees produce than one can count on their fingers.

Starting with honey soap and working up to brewing honey vinegar and honey wine.
Unknowingly, Sung-hyuk was hoping that this would generate a skill like “Guardian’s Honey Tea” like before.
Unfortunately, what came afterward was bound to disappoint Sung-hyuk.
[You have not met the conditions for achieving the skill -> Insufficient level (required level: 6), Experienced in making or using honey soap].
[You have not met the conditions for achieving the skill -> Insufficient level (required level: 8), Experienced in making or consuming honey wine or honey vinegar].
[You have not met the conditions for achieving the skill -> Insufficient level (required level: 14), Experienced in making or consuming royal jelly powder and pills].
[You have not met the conditions for achieving the skill -> Insufficient level (required level: 18), Experienced in making or using propolis artifacts].
Pleased to see that part of the conditions for use have been met, but the notification that it is not possible to obtain it due to lack of level.
In the end, no matter what, the element called ‘level’ inevitably plays a big role in the system.
“Tsk. It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing I can do.”
Of course, even if one doesn’t have a skill, he can process it like this, and the fact that he gets a certain amount of experience for it.
Knowing this, it’s a pretty big win for Sung-hyuk.
Well, it is unfortunate that because of that, it is treated as a ‘crude success’ and a ‘-‘ factor is applied to the grade, but that is a problem that can be solved by raising the level anyway.
And for a bee guardian, the surest and fastest way to level up is…
[The honey status of the Guardian’s oversized acorn hive (★+) has reached 80%].
[Honey is ready to be harvested!]
“Hey, my cute little guys. Here I come, hive!”
Collecting honey that has been stored up by small bees.
