The Game of Our Lives (ABO)Ch5 - A little injured girl

[Edited by Lan Yuwen]

It takes, at a minimum, a single purple coin to hire the weakest of mercenaries, and a purple coin per hour of service. You could gain purple coins by exchanging 1000 gold coins for a single purple coin, and that was no easy task, either. KPWpQ5

“And this is why level C missions can be considered one of the best!” Choe Ho excitedly thought. After he finished thinking, since it was noon, he took out some food for himself and Geulei, recovering the bit of「HP」he had lost.

Even though this was something akin to a game, it was still real life, because if Choe Ho did not eat or drink water, his「HP」would go down and he could even acquire debuff effects such as exhaustion and dizziness. Sleep was also necessary, only the physiological need of going to the bathroom was not the same, and perhaps because everything turned into「HP」, although he still went to the bathroom, the frequency wasn’t the same as a normal human.

Of course, this may be because he was now a fairy, but Choe Ho didn’t try to get to it, because thinking about it was a little disturbing for him. Despite the pointed ears and fairy wings, he still thought of himself as a human being.

He ate a sandwich made of cheese and ham and drank a bottle of juice that he made for the trip. Even in the game, Choe Ho hadn’t ceased to be a foodie, liking to eat well. iRVOzA

So as soon as he came into this world and found a small village, the first thing he bought was kitchen items, which were mostly made out of clay. Thus, he acquired the profession of cook, unlocking some skills such as control over the fire, cooking, knife, etc.

When he arrived in town, he bought the basic necessities items such as a portable campfire, and a better cauldron, since the system gave him a poor cauldron and a portable campfire very common.

When he finished his first simple meal of salad, fish, rice, sauces, fries, and fruit salad with only a few kitchen items of clay, he naturally acquired the ability to cook. This was the only skill that grew in a constant way, so much so that it was already 「LEVEL 100」.

Unfortunately, the dishes that had been released were only up to 「LEVEL 10」at a maximum because Choe Ho’s 【LEVEL】was too low to get the more high-level recipes. The food a cook makes can recover「HP」, 「MANA」, generate「BUFF」or「DEBUFF」effects, and was cheaper to produce than alchemy potions. There were even some that could give a player an extra life! This should have been worth a fortune, but he was very unlucky and couldn’t get enough「XP」to grow quickly!

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

If he could access all these recipes, Choe Ho would probably be able to open up a restaurant in the city of newbies and gain money, but he could only look away from the recipes in the grey area of the tree of professions.

【WILD HEART FRUIT – BRONZE QUALITY (LEVEL 20) – (HP RECOVERY] >>> Legends say, that there was a great wild beast who fell in love with a holy maiden and sacrificed itself in order to save the maiden, dying in her place. In the place the body of the wild beast had been placed, a verdant area with a single tree that produced fruits similar to the beast’s fang emerged. Consuming this fruit recovers 60%「HP」, it is recommended that the player must be「LEVEL 20」or above to consume this fruit. Extremely high possibility of players below「LEVEL 20」exploding because of an excessive amount of blood. The fruit’s effect is reduced to 30%「HP」recovery for players that are「LEVEL 30」or above. This fruit can be used to create an Advanced Curing Potion (SILVER QUALITY) that can be used up to「LEVEL 40」. (Purchase price – 1 Purple Coin or 990 Gold Coins).】 4hZdJc

The path was a trail next to the Wild Heart Fruit grove, so Choe Ho and Geulei were able to smell the sweet scent emanated by the fruit. Geulei seemed to be looking at the grove with great desire like it wanted to go and take a bite out of the fruits.

Choe Ho had read the information board that stood right in front of the grove, but he didn’t try to pick up the fruit. The consequence was terrible, moreover, one should not underestimate the farmers and peasants who guarded the grove.

Would a grove with fruits only suited for「LEVEL 20」to「LEVEL 40」be planted and manage to grow safe and sound by a weak village? Of course not, that would be impossible! That village must be at least「LEVEL 10」, so even if Choe Ho wanted to pick up a fruit, he would be blocked by hoes and gallows, and only gold death would be waiting for him.

So, at that moment, he was indifferent to the rich grove beside him, even though Geulei was looking at the grove’s direction with yearning as it led him to his destination. Unexpectedly, at the entrance to the forest, there was a little girl with an anxious face. sQexEr

She looked like a 10-year-old girl with blonde hair tied up into two braids, her clothes were a little battered and stained, and there was a bit of dirt on the girl’s face. Her shiny brown eyes were swollen as if the little girl had recently cried.

Choe Ho simply wanted to pass without paying attention to the little girl, but upon hearing the little girl cough violently, even seeing her spitting out some blood, he couldn’t pretend he didn’t see anything. He stopped and got off Geulei, pulling the donkey by the reins and approaching the little girl.

“Here, take this. It’s a potion that will help you recover. Hey, don’t look at me like I’m a villain, I can’t stand seeing someone sick…”

Little girl: … (ﾟДﾟ;) 7yqdiO

“Still won’t get the potion? Look, this is the emblem of the Doctors Guild, I’m almost a member, and here’s the emblem of Seoul University, I’m an outer disciple… See? I’m not a dangerous guy.”

Little girl: …  ( ⁰д⁰)

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

At first, the girl was startled by the appearance of the plump man with lovely eyes. He had a rosy tint to his skin because of the sun, and he looked a lot like someone noble, so the girl had walked away slightly, afraid to offend the nobleman.

However, the man offered her a potion that was considered quite expensive for a villager, which made the girl even more afraid, but he did not seem offended by the refusal and even pulling out the emblems of two powerful institutions of the great City, Chooe-He, where the most powerful Alchemists and Nobles of the Wook Continent stood. The little girl was stupefied, silently looking at the man and donkey in front of her. H7bpYA

Choe Ho thought he probably looked like a pervert trying to convince a little girl to eat his candy… Why was it so hard to be a good person sometimes?

The atmosphere turned awkward and Choe Ho was getting embarrassed, but then, the little girl coughed again, covering her pale lips with an old cloth, which had several bloodstains, highlighting the fact that her illness was not simple at all.

【HEALING POTION  – SILVER QUALITY (LEVEL 10) – (DEBUFF DISABLER) >>>>>> This is a potion that breaks all of the enemy’s debuff effects for 10 minutes during combat. When out of combat, this potion heals debuffs and gives a full recovery to the user. This only works for enemies that are up to「LEVEL 20」. The stronger the level of the enemy is, the weaker the effect of the potion will be. This potion can only be used once during combat. (PURCHASE PRICE – 2 Purple Coins or 1 Purple Coin and 200 Gold Coins).】

This was a Silver Quality item that cost a specific amount of time and materials to make, and usually, the success rate was less than 20%. At this time, Choe Ho only had two Healing Potions. He planned to use the first one to help him complete his mission, while the second one would be sold when he returned in order to gain some capital so he could hire a mercenary to help him increase his【LEVEL】. pDzodq

Alchemists had a natural advantage over the creation of potions and surpassing many levels compared to normal players, and since it was necessary for them to have the Alchemist Scroll so that they could increase their profession’s【LEVEL】or the number of potion recipes in their hands, Choe Ho was able to create recipes beyond his own【LEVEL】.

With much diligence, Choe Ho managed to win the trust of a Master Alchemist, which resulted in him receiving some very rich recipes. Of course, for Master Alchemists, these silver quality recipes were simply worthless in their eyes, but for Choe Ho, this was like a small fortune!

He didn’t sell the other silver quality potion because he was afraid some accident would happen on the mission, so it was better to have one of those potions as a precaution, right?

However, seeing the little girl’s situation, Choe Ho couldn’t help but want to give her the potion. Even though this whole new world was like a game, the word’s inhabitants weren’t just NPCs, they were breathing, they were alive, and they could die. Rjq8aZ

“Let’s go over to that tree, you need to rest and I can help you take the potion. I want you to tell me why you are alone with such an illness in front of a dangerous forest like this.” Sighing, he didn’t wait for the little girl to answer, putting her on Geulei’s back.

The little girl clung to Geulei’s neck for fear of falling, and Choe Ho slowly took the sick little girl into the shade of the tree while thinking about the precious time he was wasting doing these things.

>>>>EN:

Hey guys! Again, I’m very sorry for the delay, but with the computer slow and crashing, along with school and life, I have been mentally exhausted, but anyway, here’s the edited chapter. I hope you are enjoying tgol~ pSBMOC

>>>> Author Notes:
1. Thanks to everyone who commented! You make me very happy!
2. The editor will take a while to update the chapters. Because of technical problems (you know when the PC solves problems, things get ugly)
3. I changed the name Gray to Geulei, according to my editor, that new name means Gray in Korean or one of the many characters that means it. He showed me two names and I chose this one, what do you think?
4. For everyone who wants spoilers if Choe Ho is going to lose weight in the course of the novel … I don’t plan anything like that for now. Only if you want him to be arrested and starve. Choe Ho’s character is very specific, he likes to eat well. Will he lose weight in the future? Yes, but nothing that changes the fact that he is fat.
5. Say hello to the little girl mascot in the novel. For a while.
