[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 208

“How much points do I have left now?”

“Hmm, just a sec.”

Ding!

[Player Points: 211,173P]

[Remaining Amount: 38,110,000 won]

[Remaining Amount: 636 gold 46 silver]

[Remaining Amount: 3 gold 12 silver 141 copper]

“This is overwhelming.”

Thanks to running around like a puppy seeing snow for the first time, I’ve gathered a variety of unique currencies.

3.8 million won left after assembling the summon.

1 gold coin squeezed from Daeju Uncle in “Chaegundam” and 2 gold coins from treating the rich pig.

About 12,000 points earned from the first tutorial.

Then 50,000 from the second, 100,000 from the 0.5th floor, and finally 50,000 from the 1st floor.

“About 210,000 points left. I’ve used about half of the 1,000 gold I exchanged.”

“You’ve spent a lot.”

“Most of it went to the cake you ate and the tent, right?”

Haetnim avoids eye contact again.

To be honest, the cake only cost around 2 gold.

Even if angels love sweets, how much could they really eat? The real problem is the tent, where money disappears with just a few clicks.

“Of all things, it had to take after me.”

“Are you saying it resembles Han Ga-eul’s ability?”

“Yep.”

It’s an ability where, with a few blinks, what was once a small hill turns into a mountain.

“If it’s truly like me, it’ll definitely improve, but the initial cost-effectiveness is just terrible.”

“I see.”

─Click, click.

“Phew─ How’s the housing market here?”

“Beginner rooms in the tower rent for about 2 to 3 gold per month.”

“Similar to a one-room apartment.”

That’s about 300,000 won per month.

No matter where you go, you need a place to live. Unless you want to rent a 30-gold expensive hotel every time you sleep or rest, finding a house quickly seems like a good choice.

[Happy Our Home]

Summoning a mobile residence.

You can grow Happy Our Home by providing resources.

Grade: Growth Type

Stage: 5

[Price: 320 gold]

───

The rooftop room I’m living in now is a bit over 11 pyeong. That’s quite spacious for one person and enough for two without feeling cramped.

The tent has grown to about 6 pyeong after five purchases. A few more buys, and it’ll be big enough to set up a proper living space.

“Wait, let me do some calculations.”

“What are you calculating?”

“At certain stages, my abilities add specific skills or hit cost-effective points.”

The tent started at 10 gold.

If you think about growing it by doubling the price up to stage 10, it’ll cost 10,000 gold.

“Exactly 10,230 gold will be spent.”

“Your calculations are incredibly fast and accurate. How can you do mental math so quickly?”

“I used to be an engineering student, and these calculations are really familiar. I didn’t want to be this fast and accurate either.”

Picking up a stick and scribbling on the stone floor, Haetnim watches intently.

“I’m going to level up to 10 here, so there are 10 terms, and the common ratio is 2, right?”

“What is a common ratio?”

“It means doubling each time.”

“Suddenly, it feels cheaper.”

“Listen roughly. Starting with 10 gold as the first term here, if you derive the sum formula of a geometric sequence, it becomes like this.”

Haetnim, who was carefully examining the ground, tilted her head.

“Han Ga-eul, was she like this?”

“What do you take me for? This is basic stuff that even high school students in our country learn.”

“I thought you solved everything with strength.”

When Haetnim poked her side, she flinched.

“You saw me solving problems in the tutorial, right?”

“Yes, I did.”

“That’s how you apply it. You can also use function graphs to find the intersection points of specific parts.”

“Please tell me more.”

Perhaps because her job is a scribe, she seems interested in numbers. It seems like I learned something new about Haetnim today.

“Let me give you an example. In a certain village, an evil wizard spread an incurable poison.”

“The people must have suffered.”

“Right. The village would have been abandoned. But since it’s a substance, it’s not permanent. Even so-called permanent substances are just metaphorical expressions, and even an incurable poison will eventually disappear over time.”

Baekseol, who came out of the tent, was playing on Haetnim’s body like a playground, but seeing her still seriously focused, she’s no ordinary angel.

“But it’s hard to send a watcher to such a village for years to see when the poison disappears. At this time, you can calculate the approximate date when the toxic substance will disappear by investigating the half-life period of the energy and the amount of energy in the short term.”

“That’s an excellent technique.”

“The point is not that such simple calculations are important, but where you apply them.”

Haetnim nodded her head and then tilted it again.

“Haven’t you mostly solved everything with strength until now?”

“If you smash the idiot, there’s no need to calculate.”

《The macho man cleaning cow dung raises his thumb》

《The maiden of the stars tells the macho man cleaning cow dung not to ruin a promising player by asking if his brain is also full of muscles》

《The macho man cleaning cow dung grumbles that he’ll fold his waist》

《The maiden of the stars asks the macho man if he could just go see other players》

“Ah, why are you fighting among yourselves instead of leaving it to the room master!”

There’s no rivalry like this. Their personalities are completely opposite, so it seems like they fight every time they meet.

“Players can block the gaze of the divine beings.”

“Really? If you keep doing that, I won’t let you see either?”

《The maiden of the stars protests, saying it’s absurd》

《The macho man cleaning cow dung flexes his biceps》

“So stop fighting and leave it to the room master.”

Whether the threatening remark worked, the two divine beings who kept fighting finally quieted down.

─Click, click.

“Phew─”

“Han Ga-eul, I want to learn the calculation method.”

Haetnim, who always gave advice and only helped, made a request for the first time.

“Teaching is easy.”

《The maiden of the stars envies the scribe of light》

“Alright, I’ll let you know if there’s an opportunity for Byul-ada too.”

“The maiden of the stars thanks you but then gets angry.”

It seems like the chaotic situation has finally settled down.

“Haetnim, please exchange 11,173 points into gold.”

“Yes.”

*Clink clink.*

As Haetnim spreads her palm in the air, two large gold coins and several smaller gold pieces come tumbling down.

“Wow, there’s even a high-denomination gold coin?”

The largest coin has the number 10,000 stamped on it.

“Well, I can’t just give you 10,000 gold coins, can I?”

“True.”

[Remaining Balance: 11,809 gold, 46 silver]

[Player Points: 200,000P]

Seeing the exact 200,000 points drop makes me feel good.

“By the way, is this gold something you already had, or are you exchanging it for me?”

“It’s issued by the Tower. I just have the authority to do it.”

“Interesting.”

From level 5 to 10, the required amount is 9,920 gold. The materials for the upgrade are ready, so all I need to do is move my fingers diligently.

Even if the early cost-effectiveness is low, the later stages will make up for it with exponentially better abilities. I’m excited to see how good it’ll get.

“Let’s go in.”

As I raise my hand, Baekseol scurries into the tent.

She seems eager to see it grow.

*Ding!*

“Grow!!”

“Did it grow?”

“Yes!”

*Ding!*

“Grooow!!”

*Ding!*

“Huh?”

From the third upgrade, I can’t hear Baekseol’s voice anymore.

Did she pass out from growing too big?

“Baekseol?”

I glance at Haetnim, who shakes her head. She can’t hear it either.

As I rush into the tent, I hear Baekseol’s energetic voice.

“Groooow!!”

Baekseol is vigorously shaking her head and looking around everywhere.

“Guess it has some soundproofing now.”

“Seems like it. But more importantly…”

Haetnim looks around and makes a shocked expression.

“It got really big, huh?”

“Yes. It was cramped just a moment ago, but this is an unbelievable ability.”

The inside of the tent, which was about 6 pyeong (approx. 20 sq. meters), is now bigger than my rooftop room.

“About 15 pyeong, I’d say.”

It’s not jaw-droppingly huge, but considering it’s a tent, it’s a whole different story.

Honestly, I’m not even sure if it’s still a tent inside. The exterior is a tent, but the walls inside are made of beautiful bricks, giving off a strong Gothic vibe.

“It’s more than enough for three people to live in.”

“Am I living here too?”

“You don’t have a separate place, do you? Stay here until you find one.”

Haetnim nods slowly and looks around.

“Let’s do the rest.”

“Exciting!”

“Baekseol’s excited?”

“Yes!”

Baekseol runs around the not-so-large interior.

Since I exchanged 10,000 gold for the tent upgrade, there’s no need to be stingy.

*Ding!*

Ninth time…

The moment the upgrade happens, the house expands like a balloon, instantly making the ceiling higher.

“Oh, a duplex.”

Baekseol, who had been wandering around, jumps up the newly formed stairs.

“Baekseol went to the second floor first?”

“She did!”

“Baekseol, it’s going to grow bigger again. Just in case, don’t stick too close to the wall.”

“Okay!”

It’s the final tenth upgrade.

Ding!

I was expecting how much bigger it would get this time, but there’s no change.

“What the…”

As I look around the unchanged interior, Haetnim raises her hand beside me.

“Look, a door has appeared.”

“Huh?”

Turning around, the entrance I first came through is still shimmering like a dark portal.

“Why are there two entrances?”

“Outside… I think?”

Following Haetnim’s gaze, which answers with a question, I see a lush green landscape outside the newly formed window.

“What is this? Isn’t this a tent?”

Haetnim, who had been answering all along, has no response this time.

Even the smart angel seems to be encountering this situation for the first time.

“Let’s go out.”

As I walk towards the newly formed door, Haetnim and Baekseol follow closely behind.

Click.

The moment I open the beautifully crafted wooden door, the scent of grass fills the air from all directions.

A pleasant breeze blows in, and the grass on the ground rustles against each other, creating a cozy sound.

“Huh?”

—Chik, chik.

“Whoa—”

An exclamation escapes along with cigarette smoke.

The fact that my hand instinctively reaches for a cigarette suggests that this is a very nice place, even without looking around.

“The inside of the inside of the inside of the inside of the inside of the inside?”

“What does that mean?”

“Uh…”

Trying to explain makes my head spin.

It’s a space inside a tent inside a tower inside a new world inside a training ground inside the Earth.

“Whatever. If it’s good, that’s all that matters.”

At this rate, it feels like we might end up crawling all the way to the afterlife.
