Matan's Shooter

Chapter 484

ED:

He might have really killed a mystical creature!

It was even possible that he had slain several mystical creatures. Remembering his encounters with Harhei and the gorilla paleo, Leeha nodded. After all, mystical creatures also had ranks.

With Bailephus and Alexanders capabilities, handling lower-ranked mystical creatures would have been manageable.

Bailephus seemed unusually excited even while talking to Aibex. Hmm, it might be true after all.

Planning to subtly inquire about this later, Leeha summarized the information he gathered from the community. fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

The wood stockpilers are in a real mess now. At one point, a Perfectly Dried Redwood of 10m length was valued at 20 gold, and now its barely worth silver

20 gold was a significant amount in real currency. Apart from a few big players who had hoarded early, most users who jumped in later were now suffering losses.

Hopefully, the market will recover someday. Now, I should focus on my own tasks! Leeha wheeled himself to log into Middle Earth.

First greeted by the paleo dogs, Leeha headed to the territory inhabited by the boar paleo.

Wabong-ah-!? What?

Was with Puuls- Wabong- together-what?

Leeha barely managed to control his disgust at the abnormally developed leg and back muscles of the two disproportionate paleo. He quickly pulled out food from his bag, knowing their dietary preferences.

Woah, Wabong

Wabong, Wabong.

The Paleo sniffed around the rabbit meat paired with sweet potato mousse. Leeha grinned as he watched them. Building 100% familiarity with the boar paleo took him just about 10 hours.

Cooking skills really were the best! He even thought if he had focused on cooking instead of musketeering, he might have already gathered all the needed money.

Theres such a place?!

Yeah! A much, much larger body of water than this lake here. Its so salty you can taste it.

Woongwoong! Impossible!

Cant you tell from my appearance? Look, I got this as a gift from meeting them!

Shwooooosh!

Leeha swiftly swam around.

His lower body, resembling a tuna, moved fluidly through the water. The sight of the golden carp fluttering its long whiskers in delight was a testimony to Leehas transformation.

Jellypong, now!

Stretching out, Jellipong shifted from a vest to a large fin on Leehas back, reducing water resistance and enhancing his swimming.

Leaping like a dolphin over the vast lake and then diving back in, Leehas movements were the epitome of a perfect mermaid.

Woongwoong! To think such a creature exists, a different species called mermaids!

Right. Though different from Shoer-nim, I believe our species can coexist peacefully.

Will they accept our children as their own?

Hmm, probably? They are peaceful higher beings, so Im sure itll be fine.

Woongwoong!

The carp paleos guardian deity, Shoer, opened his mouth in wonder. Bubbles rose to the surface of the lake. The first time Leeha saw their transformed state, he mistook them for fishmen because they looked similar to salmon but had arms and legs.

Good thing I didnt shoot thinking they were merpeople. Jellypong saved me there, Leeha thought. Jellypong had stopped his finger from pulling the trigger, interpreting the murmuring sounds as They are different from fishmen.

Only then did Leeha realize that there were mystical creatures in the water. It made sense; if there were paleo in the sky like the black crane paleo, why not in the water?

Ill definitely introduce you next time, Shoer-nim.

Of course. Im very close with the mermaids. Ill speak well of you. Try the seawater too while youre there!

Muheungheung, muheung!

Not sure if freshwater fish would be okay with seawater, but as a mystical creature, Shoer shouldnt die from it. Leeha confidently made these promises, aligning with Shoers mood. contemporary romance

[Achieved 100% familiarity with the mystical creature Shoer and his Carp Paleo.]

[Achievement: The Carp of the Light-Swallowing Lake (A+)]

The achievements rewards were impressive, and since Leeha was the first to register it, he received 200% of the original rewards. Even without the Merperson Transformation skill, one could achieve this by building familiarity with Paleo on the lakes shore.

Leeha was surprised it was A+ level, but he hadnt realized the difficulty due to his abilities and the significant role of Erika Continents Common Fame.

Then Ill take my leave, Shoer-nim.

Muheung, muheung, come play again!

I will! Ill bring delicious food from the other continent next time!

Leeha smiled warmly at Shoers majestic whiskers, imagining how surreal it would be to describe the immense size of the goldfish mystical creature. After leaving the water, he saved his location and activated his warp crystal.

As one of the explorers with the most territories secured in the new continent, it was time for Leeha to return to the old continent.

The warp transition was slightly disorienting, but he arrived safely in his office in Gaza City.

Welcome back, Lord-nim, greeted the NPC, Paytor, who presented him with a pile of administrative documents. Despite his initial happiness to be back, Leeha was overwhelmed by the immediate workload.

Complaining about the lack of rest, Leeha realized Paytors excitement was not for his return but for someone to take care of the pending work. While the NPCs intentions were pure, Leeha couldnt help but feel a bit exploited.

Even as the night fell in Middle Earth, the lords office in Gaza City remained brightly lit. Leeha was too engrossed in his work to notice the light knocking on his office door.

Peytor: Leeha-nim, its Peytor.

As Leeha was scrutinizing last weeks income and expenditure, noting Bottlenecks significant spending and earnings, he mumbled about the armorys profits and a joint development project for water-resistant weapons.

Peytor: Mayor Leeha, Peytor here. You have a visitor.

Guess Ill review this in detail later, especially with the Scope issue At least the finances are balanced, Leeha thought, appreciating Paytors efficient management.

The door creaked open.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

The sharp, high-toned voice responding to Peytor finally drew Leehas attention away from the paperwork.

Click-clack, the sound of approaching footsteps. Leeha looked up from the pile of documents to see red hair.

Ram Hwayeon?!

Hard work being a lord, isnt it?

How did you- fre ewebn ovel

Just cold water for me, please.

Yes, Ram Hwayeon-ssi.

Ram Hwayeon entered the office with ease and sat opposite Leeha, crossing her legs casually as if this were Castle Dale and not Gaza City.

Even Peytor seemed to act like her butler. Leeha had a vague idea of what was happening.
