Two months later.
Unlucky! Why is it so complicated? Just because a small mistake can destroy everything! I regret not watching the video tutorial before I die.
After two hours had passed, Lein took four steps back, surveying the item he made for a few seconds, before finally saying, "Nice, I did it!"
After spending weeks learning how to make a large clay jug, Lein finally dropped his body to the ground while looking at the still wet mold of the large jug with a happy expression.
"Huft! In half a month, the Asmovius Sword and Magic Academy will open. Luckily I finished this large jug in time."
After spending a few seconds staring in awe at the large jug he made, Lein got up, then walked towards the well. There, the two koi fish had grown much larger and had been surrounded by many smaller koi fish.
"You have to come with me! It's time for us to prepare!"
However, a notification suddenly appeared from the hologram as if the koi fish was ignoring Lein's words.
TING! [All the koi fish are hungry! They asked for 2 pieces of burger meat]
"Hey, it's only been 4 hours since earlier!"
After Lein had leveled up to 15 a month and a half ago, the system opened the shop and inventory menu. In the shop menu, he can buy many things such as weapons, potions, foods, blankets, clothings, etc., using the gold that can be obtained by killing monsters and obeying the requests of the koi fish.
Out of all of them, the most surprising thing for Lein was that he could buy burgers and KFC. Although it's expensive; for 1 it was equivalent to killing 2 level 10 monsters. But, with the same taste and quality as on earth, of course it was a reasonable trade-off.
During his life with Anderlecht, Lein had to be grateful only to get poor quality wheat porridge and plain bread that had the texture of a rock. Being able to enjoy that superfood again, how can Lein not be excited? Even if it had the equivalent price of 5 level 10 monsters for 1, Lein would still buy it.
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you guys give me more gold, so I can mukbang KFC and fried rice tonight."
Lein clicked on the shop menu on the hologram, selected the 'food' option, scrolled through the hologram screen, and clicked on the burger image there. A moment later, 2 real burgers popped out of the hologram screen like card in a cash machine. It really looks like high level magic.
"Enjoy your meal!" said Lein after picking up a piece of burgers meat and throwing it into the well. Even without the meat, he still enjoyed the imperfect burgers because it was the highest quality bun.
TING! [All the koi fish express their gratitude to you. +200 gold added, +15 Vitality added, +30 Mana added]
So far, the prizes given by the koi fish have always been random. Sometimes it's strength and agility, sometimes it's vitality and sense, maybe even the other way around or something. However, that was actually the best part. Because with that, Lein's status was now perfectly balanced.
After that, using a wooden plank as a base to carry the jug that was still wet, Lein came out of the cave to dry it. Today's weather was hot, so, it should be dry in just a few hours.
Lein placed the large jug on top of the tree he had cut earlier. The large jug had four small circles in the middle; form a square pattern. It would later become a place to tie two rolls of cloth together, making the large jug a giant backpack when worn by Lein.
Under the hot sun, Lein surveyed his masterpiece with a haughty and proud expression. Even though it looked normal, without any pattern or art style, he still felt happy because it was the result of his hard work. However, before he took a step back to leave the large jug, the thumping of many feet sounded from the north. Noticing any signs of danger, especially for his beloved large jug, Lein quickly took a step forward to heave it back up. However, he was too late as something unknown jumped at him, crashing into him as well as the large pitcher, causing him to fall along with it.
"No! My jug!!!!"
"Ow, it hurts."
"Shit! My leg."
"Hey, what are you two complaining about? Get up and run!"
Hearing the last sentence, Lein couldn't hide his murderous expression. After smashing my jug, you think you can get away with it so easily, Damn it?!
"Before you go, you have to make me a new jug, Damn it!"
Lein immediately got up and stood up with an angry expression; cover their way. They were 3 teenagers in luxurious clothes like royalty. It can be seen from the beautiful carving that seems to be made of gold on the left sleeve of one of the teenage boys' suit. One of them is a beautiful girl who has shoulder-length red hair. In a black dress that had a small rip at the hem; exposing a bit of her smooth white thighs, she really looked seductive. While one other person, is a fat teenage boy who left food spots on the corner of his lips.
"Hey, this isn't the time to be listening to the demands of a child! We are in deep trouble, Damn it!" said the teenage boy who had beautiful golden carvings on his suit, and took long strides to leave Lein. However, Lein quickly caught his right arm, causing him steps to be forcibly stopped.
"Huh?! Looks like I'm too exhausted from running for too long." It was impossible for a second-class magus to lose in a power struggle with this poor kid who looked far from his magic education. Apart from these reasons, there is no other reason that makes more sense.
"Hey, Damn it! Because you were born from a golden spoon, thus taking hard work for granted. It took me weeks to get to this point! Then, you crushed that easily and left without feeling guilty? Ah, you said you were You're in big trouble, right? Looks like your big trouble has grown now!"
The rich teenage boy wanted to leave and ignore Lein's whole nonsense. However, why can't his grip be released? It was as if his arm had been caught in a tiny hole in the concrete wall.
"Ignore this brat, Ron. Let's go!" said the chubby teenage boy and took long strides to continue his escape, followed by the beautiful girl.
"I want to go, George! But this boy's grip really won't let go!"
Ron Smith pulled as hard as he could, trying to jump, but there was not the slightest movement from Lein as if he was a statue made of stone. Seeing that, the two friends couldn't hold back their confused expressions. "What's wrong with Ron Smith? Is there a time for jokes?"
"Please, let me go!" Ron gave up. The only solution to get away from him is just begging and obeying his wishes. "I promise I'll make a new jug for you, if you…" However, Ron's words came to an abrupt halt as the thump of many feet came from the north. The longer the time passed, the clearer the sound became.
Unlucky! They caught up with us too fast!
Just a few seconds later, 5 small creatures that had green skin color each of them carrying rusty daggers, jumped from behind the bushes. However, despite their small stature, their faces look old and wrinkled. Judging from their physical characteristics, they seemed to be class 2 attack goblins with levels between 15-20.
Seeing the goblins looking terrifying, Ron's two friends immediately took long strides and hurriedly approached him; hope to get protection from him. Among them, Ron was the strongest.
Lein ignored the five goblins and instead asked Ron, "You're seriously going to make a new large jug for me? Making that isn't easy!" Judging by the quality of the cowardly boy's clothes, his family should be able to afford a lot of large jugs. Forget about making it, he definitely couldn't!
"I promise, as long as you let me go."
Then, you will continue your futile escape? They were attacking goblins that had terrible stamina. Running non-stop for 20 miles is not even a problem for them. It's only a matter of time until you guys are completely exhausted and caught. Then, when are you going to make or buy me a new large jug?
"Hey, Damn it! Letting you go will only kill you! They are class 2 attack goblins. They are strong and formidable, especially with potential captives like this beautiful girl. Great interest makes them even stronger."
Hearing Lein's explanation, the girl suddenly felt shock all over her body. Imagining her being held captive by the goblins, it seemed like dying felt a lot better than that.
"I'll take care of them. Think of the best large jug for me later." Lein released his grip and took out the dagger in the inventory. It was an epic class dagger that he bought at the shop for 4000 gold. What's special about it is the green blade and the passive effect that spawns a small bolt of lightning with every attack.
