Level Up Monster
Chapters 12.1
"Will it really remain as a series of potions? It looks like our esteemed genius alchemist is working alone without a workshop …. Ah, but how could he meticulously concoct this kind of potion alone? Seeing things like this, you can actually sense that geniuses really exist in this world. "
Right now, they took a short break from answering the endless flood of phone calls. As the employee spoke in awe, Hazeline sighed and glanced at him.
"… Uh-wah. What am I going to do, even when you start calling him a genius? It was just a blank sheet of praise pasted on the man to make the mass media and the Knights Order sweat extra hard for a bit. So, what do you mean, he's a genius ?! Just give it a break, already a genius, a great, a maestro, a virtuoso – no words can mix with our profession, and we should not try to use them either. "
"Eiii .. But it all comes from the community chat room site first. Currently, even Alchemy Cafe was in upheaval. They asked if they could meet him .." (TL: a cafe is not a physical coffee shop but an Internet forum in the style of Discord or Reddit. Just your colloquial Korean term ..)
Excited to learn that this great sale result would result in a huge bonus for everyone, the male employee chatted with quite a high spirit, and the, but he calmed down as he made contact with an inexplicable cold gaze. He had stepped into a potential landmine without realizing it. Seeing Hazeline lightly bite her lower lip with the corner of her eye, the employee's forehead dripped with sweat.
those? Didn't I repeatedly tell you not to waste your time in these damn gossip sites? Because that's where the f*cked up bastards hiding behind the veil of anonymity spread around villa, baseless rumors!" "Hey, you. Do you still see that? Didn't I repeatedly tell you not to waste time on those fucking gossip sites? Because that's where the lurks behind the veil of anonymity are spread around vile, bottomless rumors! "
"I'm really sorry."
The employee apologizes in earnest because he knows the Manager hates excuses and hasty explanations.
genius alchemist's deep thoughts are or what the plans of his future happen to be . " "Fuu .. No need to apologize, instead, go and do your job. I'll make sure to ask what the deepest thoughts of our alchemist are or what his future plans are."
"Yes!"
The employee leaves her side and once all the signs of those around her are gone for good, Hazeline grabs her phone. He was acting completely opposite to how he coldly treated his subordinates now, his current attitude was filled with respect.
Ring, ring . – Ring, ring.
He waited for a while, but in the end, all he got was "The person you called is busy …"
"She said she only had a home phone number, so why didn't she pick it up?"
Hazeline tilted her brows with dissatisfaction. He had already called the number 10 times, but for some reason he couldn't even get a single answer.
Ppiiii.. . – Ppiiii …. Please leave a message after the tone.
"Hello…. Sir Alchemist? This is Hazeline speaking. I am the only one who knows this number so please relax. The reason I'm calling you this time, is .. I'd like to know if you'd like to have a work-dinner related to me some time … "

Even after deducting sales tax and Alchemy House deductions, he will still pocket more than $ 1. 3 million US. This was an amount he had never dreamed of in his life. However, he also could not imagine seeing this amount leave him at once.
closet to Gangwon Province's Monster field easily exceeded $1 . The minimum cost of one house without ties located closest to the Gangwon Province Monster field easily exceeds $ 1. 3 million .
At first, when he heard the amount he did not believe, but after hearing his explanation, he understood the reason, only slightly.
pyung, (nearly 200 square meters) an underground bunker equipped with a generator, and had been "insured" with a Knights Order for a "prioritised protection" in case of Monsters' appearance – and to top that all off, the whole building was reinforced with magic engineering to withstand assaults from Monsters of Mid Tier or lower . The house he saw had a garden the size of 60 pyung, (nearly 200 square meters) an underground bunker equipped with a generator, and had been "insured" with the Knight Order for "prioritized protection" in the event of the appearance of monsters. – and above all, the entire building is strengthened with magic techniques to withstand attacks from Mid Tier Monsters or lower. Hearing all these points, even Sae-Jin ends up thinking that 1.3 million are on the cheaper side.
He returned to the cave, thinking that spending all that money at once seemed futile but he could not happen to be in the apartment complex with his condition as it used to be, and also the problem with time raised his ugly head while considering the location further than this, so he decided to settle in that house as soon as the money came in from the sale of the finished potion.
'Well, that's it, but I wonder when I'll evolve again. '
Concerns and fears are certainly lessened with promised income but cannot be fully assuaged. The core problem he had, "Can I live as a human?" it's still there.
Now, he could maintain his Human Form for 100 minutes but really, it did not really qualify as a human being, after all …. .
'The necessary condition for the evolution of the Brown Wolf into Gray was Minimum Reputation. '
He evolved along with a message saying about 100 people became aware of his existence. If the rest of evolution was related to this concept than it meant that he would have to deliberately expose the Gray Wolf Form to as many people as possible.
"Fw…"
However, it was easier said than done; most would try to hunt him down the moment he appeared. Sae-Jin can only sigh magnificently.
But there will be no change if he stays like this. He would be able to find even a piece of hope just when he started moving his body and smashing into the wall.
'Well, let's avoid the Knights for now, and appear only in front of the Hunters. '
