Chapter 609: Making an Angel (3)
People involved with the stock market usually didn’t invest everything in one stock alone.
Wasn’t that something anyone could tell even if they’re not an expert in that field?
It was basic common sense that diversifying investments in multiple places was an action that could reduce the risks of losing finances. What I invested, in that case, was time and money.
In fact, it wasn’t a waste to run out of goods.
No, honestly, it was a little wasteful, but it wasn’t as wasteful as running out of time.
I had already set up a system where money could come in, even if I stood still, and at some point, I no longer felt concerned about the money that guilds or each person had.
However, time was different.
I had only one body, and there were many things left to do. I even thought I had been busier lately than when the Blue Guild grew. I was even busier than when Kim Hyunsung drove all his work to me.
Unlike back then, I was only in charge of three tasks, but the importance was so large that I couldn’t help but be stressed.
Regardless, it was good news that at least one of the three things I invested in was going well.
Holy Sword Coin was hanging in there, and Benigonre Coin was on the verge of becoming a piece of tissue, but the Chimera Coin itself was working well.
The question was whether the Chimera Coin could make up for the losses incurred by the Holy Sword Coin and Benignore Coin.
‘It would be nice if that’s going to be the case, but…’
There was no way things would go that well.
Chimera Coin’s stock had low risks in the first place. The benefits of surging were also small compared to the other two. I was glad that one stock was working well, but that didn’t mean I was relieved.
‘If the two items plunge…’
The game would eventually end.
In order to make up for the loss in both items with the chimera, wouldn’t I need to create at least 6,000 angels and three homunculi?
Obviously, that wasn’t possible. The time and cost to make just 666 units right away alone were already enormous. I hadn’t even found a clue about the homunculus yet.
What I could do in that situation was to endure with faith.
‘It’s going to soar. It’s going to soar…’
There was no answer except to hold on.
Sometimes I stopped by the Holy sector, but what I could do was limited, and the Holy Sword still hadn’t responded.
‘It hasn’t been two months yet… if it keeps going like this, it’s unconditionally going to soar.’
I needed to focus on making the angels manually, but unconsciously, I kept being distracted by other factors.
‘Fuck, what am I going to do with more thoughts? I should concentrate on working.’
I shook my head and tried to start working on it in earnest.
“Er…”
I then heard Han Sora’s voice. I didn’t know when she got to where I was, considering she even asked for a separate workroom.

She glanced at me as if she was curious about what I was doing.
Of course, I could predict why she came here.
‘Would she come here without being curious?’
Han Sora was a student who had a strong desire to learn back in her trainee days. I told her in advance that I was going to create a named entity that day.
While working, it was clear that her passion for learning had risen.
‘Since our styles are similar, she probably thinks there’s more to learn from me.‘
She was the one with the most similar style to me in the Blue Guild.
The only difference was that my foundation was alchemy, and hers was black magic.
Her understanding of alchemy was at an intermediate level, and black magic was added to it, so how could she not be curious. I then spoke pleasantly, thinking that I should charge her a tuition fee.
“What are you curious about, trainee Han Sora?”
“No… I was just wondering if you needed help… since you said that… you would create a named creature…”
“It’s in progress, but… what about yours?”
“I am doing my best. I think it will be helpful if you take a look… do you want to go?”
“No. There is no need. If you do what you have been instructed, there will be no problem. For now, please continue working on it. And since you’re here, help me out a bit. I’m afraid this is a lot of work…”
“Yes, of course.”
Since she seemed embarrassed, I took it upon myself to start a conversation.
It was something that didn’t even need to be hidden.
“I think there are a lot of difficulties since I’m trying to give this some personality.”
“What?”
“The named creature, I mean.”
“Ah… yes.”
“…”
“…”
“Exactly what part… is difficult and hard?”
“The process of spraying condiments on the base body. Thinking in the way of our adventurers… I think you can think of it as a process that creates attribute or unique characteristic.”
“Ah…”
“In fact, the basic creature has an attribute already. Although the exact naming has not been decided yet… Hard skin, fascinating light, paralyzing eyes… Well, if you have to express it in terms of grade, we can consider it as belonging to heroic grade. There are differences for each individual, but the attribute efficiency is low… High-quality creatures have indeed received legendary-grade ratings, but even so, they have little effect. It would be better to think that the basic creature focuses on physical abilities and magical power.”
“I understand, Vice Guild Master.”
“The key is to give the six creatures to be named with other attributes than those of the basic… Oh! You can come a little closer and look at it. No, rather, let’s make it together from now on. I just prepared everything…”
“Yes, can I just ask you a question before that?”

“Of course.”
“What kind of personality are you trying to give to them… and how is that possible… that’s what I want to ask.”
Of course, I had an answer.
“First, I thought to take the dungeons I attacked myself or the raid monsters I had used as a base.”
“…”
“Because I thought it would be the best in many ways. I’ve experienced it myself, and above all, I’m used to dealing with that catalyst.”
“By the dungeons that you attacked, does it include rare-grade dungeons?”
“Yes.”
“I am curious how you’re trying to solve problems such as catalyst quality… Are there any alternatives?”
It felt like she really wanted to learn. There were more and more questions that eventually came.
“That’s the part I’m worried about, but it’s not that difficult. I know it’s a little bit more annoying, but I can put up with it…. and it’s common to mix high-end and low-end catalysts. For example, these material items aren’t easy to use alone.”
As I pulled out the prepared alchemy material, I noticed her nodding.
“Is that a leaf of the World Tree?”
“Yeah. Although this material is classified as high-grade, it is an object with a fixed purpose in terms of utility. It’s not easy to handle, so it’s impossible to use it alone to make a chimera. In other words, if you want to use it…”
“You’re saying that it’s an object that needs to be transformed.”
“Correct. The transfiguration of nature is the basis of alchemy, after all. Of course, it’s not an easy problem to deal with, but… what would be a good choice in correcting its class?”
The semi-mythic grade Alchemist of Light had a basic class correction.
Although the exact number wasn’t shown, it gave an additional effect, such as a 200% probability of a jackpot. I wondered if it would be better to just show it to her rather than explaining it in words, so I immediately put the material in the refiner and activated the magic circle. The alchemy kit then moved violently.
Even Han Sora was staring at it as if she was a little surprised…
She probably thought she couldn’t do it even if she knew how.
It was impossible, even if she had received the legendary-grade alchemist correction. Her class itself wasn’t within the same range to allow her to look at it.
‘I guess at least she doesn’t think it’s useless.’
That was a good mindset. Perhaps Han Sora thought that she had her own way of grafting.
“Then, the named entity based on the leaf of the World Tree…”
“No. I told you earlier. To be precise, this is the catalyst that will become the base.”
“Ah…”
“I’m going to combine this with the leaves of the World Tree… After that, I will build the finished catalyst and fit it to the core. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the monsters in the dungeon that I first met in the continent and attacked were based on plants’ appearance. Yes, a plant-type. It should be compatible with the leaves of the World Tree.”
“Ah… I think I read it in the dungeon journal. Definitely…”
Pooooooff…
‘Ah, fuck… I failed, and not in a cool way either.’

Perhaps there was a problem with the refining process. However, I wasn’t too embarrassed. That was frequent.
I turned as if nothing had happened and adjusted the proportions once again, and when I turned the kit, a bright light was emitted. The two catalysts that were unlikely to fuse like water and oil looked exquisitely beautiful.
The magic circle constantly lit up. Han Sora looked quietly over to it as if even she knew that she had to focus a little.
Before long, a liquified figure came into my eyes.
“Can I help…”
“Yes, please help. Didn’t I say that it’s hard to do it alone?”
The next step was the process of solidifying the liquid into cubes within a short amount of time.
As soon as the liquid was put into the mold and all kinds of alchemy reagents were administered, a sizzling sound echoed across the room.
Before it had completely hardened, the prepared magic circle was engraved on the cube pieces’ surface, and magic power was imbued into it again.
‘It looks good.’
We were making good progress. It was hinting towards a great quality, and there was no flaw.
“Vice Guild Master…”
“You just need to fit the pieces that have become the core. It seems like it’ll work based on my calculations, but… there may be side effects, so you have to be careful.”
The core was simply a bunch of puzzle pieces gathered together to form a shape.
The space in the middle that was visibly empty was where the piece I was holding with the tweezers would fit in. I naturally felt a little nervous.
I didn’t want the experiment to start all over because of an unprecedented error.
“Put some magic power into the prepared magic circle.”
“Yes, Vice Guild Master.”
As she slowly approached the test tube equipped with a magic circle and inserted the piece, I saw the nucleus become one perfectly with a clicking sound.
I thought I saw a green light for a moment. I couldn’t help but smile.
Of course, there was still a long way to go. I had to prepare a body that fitted the core, and I had to make sure there were no other errors.
“Whoooaaa…”
Didn’t even Han Sora stare at it in silence?
It was the first named creature, the dungeon that I attacked for the first time since I entered the continent.
I could still remember when I raided it and became close to my colleagues that accompanied me on that mission.
The Alchemist of Light had created the first named angel.
Unit 1.
At that moment, the version, called the Garden of Terror, was about to be completed.
‘If I keep going like this, the Holy Sword Coin is also going to soar.’
I had to keep going until I could create one more model. Even if it had to endure a little more, the Holy Sword Coin wouldn’t plunge.
