[Trial – I cleared the dilemma of sacrifice and salvation.]
[Through the trial, I received an appropriate reward.]
[Your challenge is recorded in the trial log.]
“Ah.”
I’m back.
Though it felt like I had been a raccoon for quite a long time, it was only about 3 to 4 hours in reality.
I surveyed my surroundings, feeling my original body.
I started in the Golden Sky, but now I find myself back in Ertarn.
It seems like I can only be in the Golden Sky while undergoing the trial.
[Oh]
[I’m back]
[Lily!]
[What did you get?]
[Why’d you suddenly stop?]
[Clear?]
[What is the appropriate reward?]
[???]
[Lily cleared it?]
“Ah. Yes, yes. I cleared it. I received my reward too.”
I informed them that for my reward, I chose information about the next disaster and a somewhat useful reward.
Though it was actually quite a useful reward for me.
‘There’s no need to announce everything.’
Knowing the nature of the transcendents who want me to be the best, if they found out I had given up a transcendent-level weapon and experience points, it would cause a huge uproar.
I decided to just let the information about the next disaster be spread due to me.
That was enough.
“It will be announced to all users. Something like a way to deal with the disaster? I haven’t checked the details, so I’m not sure.”
[Aha]
[Oh]
[Why did Lily clear it, and yet everyone knows?]
[???]
[The reward is too pathetic]
[Eh, isn’t it too underwhelming then?]
[It’s not just a clear; it’s a perfect clear… ]
[Hmm, Lily… ]
[Something’s off…]
[Is it because the trial is about sacrifice and salvation?]
[Something seems suspicious… ]
[Was there nothing else?]
“Anything else? Sure, but it’s not that impressive…”
“Strong Human!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
In the distance, a massive horde of giants comes charging in.
The burdens of Ertarn that made me investigate beyond the dimension gate.
The leader of the giants, Mudan, was the first to approach and ask me.
“Living being! Did you save it?!”
“Long time no see.”
“? You. Didn’t go. For long!”
“But it feels like I did.”
It was a rather dense 3 to 4 hours.
Mudan nodded and lowered his strides to meet my gaze.
“So! Did you save it?”
“Something similar?”
“?”
I summoned a chicken farm, equivalent to a two-story building.
I summoned a farm.
A chicken farm made of wooden buildings that looked pretty convincing.
Of course, it was very small compared to the giant, but it was all useful.
“What the heck is this?”
“This is a chicken farm where golden eggs are produced. I’m sorry for only giving you information, but it seems it comes with it? From now on, eggs will come out of this farm. You can raise them and eat them.”
“Raise them?”
“Yes. By the way, these chickens were born only from power without a soul, so they mature in 5 days. In just 5 days, you can have chicken to eat.”
For the giants who were so eager for chicken, this was truly a divine item.
The giants, though a bit hesitant, seemed satisfied for now.
They didn’t know the exact usage, but anyway, they would grow in 5 days.
[Oh]
[Lololololol]
[Wow]
[This is really a useful item]
[Is it just a chicken vending machine?]
[Lolololololololololol]
[Wait, is this really the trial reward?]
[This is insane]
[Is it just a chicken?]
“Of course, it’s not just a chicken. Eating it temporarily boosts your stats, and if you keep eating it, your stats will increase permanently.”
Even if it’s a bonus, if it’s just a chicken, wouldn’t it be useless?
Of course, there were some small advantages.
It might not matter much to rankers overflowing with stats, but it would be quite useful for newbies or lower guild members.
By the way, the taste was the same as the existing lightning chicken.
I explained more about the chicken farm to Mudan.
The total number of eggs produced each day could range from thirty to as many as fifty, but if you adjusted the size, you could create a “fifty-egg chicken.”
A chicken fifty times larger than a regular one.
With that size, even that super-sized giant would surely feel like they were eating the chicken that people eat.
Mudan nodded and repeatedly expressed gratitude to me.
“Um! Thank you! Strong human. I won’t forget your kindness!”
“So, you’re going to get along without fighting now, right?”
“Of course! I will!”
“I’ll let Ertarn know too.”
“Okay!”
“Oh, and make sure to give me the chicken feed that’s generated along with it. If I don’t get it even for a day, they’ll die.”
“Huh?”
“Well then, goodbye.”
I left the giants, who were tilting their heads in confusion, and soared toward Ertarn.
After all, they seemed grateful, waving their hands at me.
I also waved back at them.
I waved my hand at them.
[Haha]
[Really?]
[What?]
[If they don’t give me the chicken farm, what happens to Lily…?]
[If I don’t get it, death?]
“Of course. I absolutely have to give them the feed.”
You could say I brought back almost all the characteristics of the chicken I saw during the trial.
The eggs will hatch into chicks in two days, and those chicks will become adult chickens two days after that.
It seems like a bit of a hassle, but since the feed is generated abundantly here, it shouldn’t be a big issue.
As long as Ertarn isn’t looking at their hands, there shouldn’t be anyone who can dare threaten the oversized giants.
“Oh, and I have one more chicken farm. I got two.”
I should set up the other one in Elbrite.
It’s not really for eating, but just in case I might need it someday.
With that, I arrived at Ertarn and completed my problem-solving. She said she would grant my request soon.
Putting two souls into one body wasn’t as easy as I had thought.
As time went by, we were now well into October.

[Oh, I made one too lol]

(A Swordsman user with a white wing badge on his chest)
This badge is what Lily spread information about about a month ago lol.
They said that having this badge grants you some immunity to disasters, so I gathered materials and tried making it.
I didn’t expect much since it’s all about probabilities, but unexpectedly, I got a legendary-grade one, so my stats went way up lol.
Why is everyone crying about how hard it is? Making it is super easy?

─ Oh wow
─ What’s with the titling?
─ Wait, it seems easier to make than I thought.
└ Yeah, you just need to gather about fifty ‘white crystals’ that drop from monsters around your level. It’s not hard.
└ I envy you; I only collected ten so far.
└ Stop lying, you need to be fighting monsters at least ten levels above yours until they drop. The drop rates are terrible.
└ You should just consider that as part of the game. Are you expecting everything on a silver platter? lol
└ For real lol
└ Even collecting that is a hassle.
└ You can just hand it to a well-known blacksmith, and they’ll make it for you.
─ Aren’t you making the black badge?
└ Yeah, according to the info, the white one offers resistance against demons, while the black one offers resistance against angels. Since I’m going to hunt demons, I need to make the white one.
└ Hmm…
└ Lily made the black one. Are you going to fight her?
└? Why would I fight Lily, you crazy person?
└ I just thought since you made the white one.
└ So, making the black badge means I’m fighting Lily?
“Game?”
└Hahaha
─Can’t you make it and sell it a bit? I’ll buy it for a high price.
└What’s your level, sir?
└60.
└Then it’s no good. If there’s more than a +10 level difference, it won’t apply.
└Oops.
└Go hit level 90. Then I’ll make it for you.
└How the hell do I hit that, you crazy person?

“Lily!”
Boom!!
“The door is not a punching bag, you know.”
“Oh, sorry. I’ve just got too much strength…”
On a day in October. Elbrite.
Since that day, a cat barged into the Dean’s Office of Elbrite, which had been steadily preparing for disaster.
The identity of the cat was, of course, Yena.
Yena boldly sat down on the sofa in front of me, with a black wing badge stuck to her chest.
“I made it! How is it?”
“Oh. What’s the rank?”
“It’s mythic. I caught some high-level ones to make it.”
Hmm. Yena nodded in satisfaction.
The information about the disaster obtained through the trial in the Golden Sky was as follows:
‘The Disaster of Light and the Disaster of Darkness appear through the ‘gates’ scattered across the world when ‘specific conditions’ are met.’
‘The two disasters are stronger and more special than any disaster seen so far, and can be resisted to a certain extent using special ‘artifacts.’’
‘The crafting method for the artifact is…’
“The Celestial artifact and the Demon artifact can only make one, so if you choose darkness, you can’t make light.”
“Meow meow.”
“Are you okay? The more threatening one would be the Demon side anyway.”
I had no choice but to pick the black badge since I’d be facing angels first, but Yena is different.
Given Yena’s characteristics, she’s more vulnerable to magic than holiness.
Yena scratched her head with the weapon I lent her, the Green Hermit, and grinned.
“It’s fine.”
“Really?”
“It’s a good idea to stick with Lily. It’s basic common sense.”
“How long has it been since Deoen?”
“I don’t know. I think I was at the Main Temple for quite a while… Maybe about 2 days? Oh, I had the broadcast on until a bit ago.”
“…Don’t you sleep?”
“I do it while sleeping, you know.
Meow meow.
Yena smiled.
…Somehow, it feels like she’s getting worse than Leo as time goes on.
