Episode 35 Body Reconstruction (1)
-Tub!
As soon as Kang Seo-jun closed the lid, the combination box began to vibrate, emitting steam like a rice cooker.
-Rat! Shake! Shake! Shake!
-Pusik! Pusik! Pusik! Pusik!
The steam coming out of the combination box was dark red.
As all of the ingredients in this combination are related to demonic energy, the water vapor was also mixed with demonic energy.
-Rat! Shake! Shake! Shake!
65%…. 69%….
As the progress increased, the box shook more violently.
“Ugh…!”
Kang Seo-jun held on tightly to prevent the box from hitting an unexpected place.
It didn’t matter if the furniture or the wall broke, but if the box was broken, not only would the combination fail, but the magic energy condensed inside it could also explode.
“Oh my…!!”
Every time the steam mixed with demonic energy passed over my palms and forearms, it felt like my skin was peeling off.
If I had known it would hurt this much, I would have spared my dimensional currency and prepared protective gloves.
But now it is too late to regret it.
Kang Seo-jun gritted his teeth and endured it with willpower that reached the realm of superhumans.
“Aaaaah…! It’s coming…!!”
-Flash!
A change occurred just before Kang Seo-jun’s eyes completely turned over.
[The constellation 《Wise Old Snake》 gives you strength.]
[The constellation “Queen of the Deepest” Gives you strength.]
.
.
.
After what seemed like an eternity of pain, a faint red light leaked out from a gap in the box.
-Rat! Shake! Excited! Rattling….
The momentum of the heaving box gradually decreased.
-Basssss….
The combination box collapsed into powder, like a crumbling sand castle.
“Cough! Cough!”
Kang Seo-jun coughed, waving his hands in the rising dust.
-Tiring!
Almost at the same time, the long-awaited message notification sound rang.
[Combination jackpot! ‘Obsidian Necklace of Deception’ is strengthened with ‘Beris’ Tears’!]
──────《Item》──────
Berry’s Tears
◆Grade
[Legend]
◆Description
– The tears of Veris, the demon of lies. However, demons cannot shed tears, and this item named Tears is in the form of a gem rather than a liquid. It is an item whose very existence is nothing short of deception.
– If you whisper a lie to a gem, the lie will be imprinted on it. If you gift a tear imprinted with a lie to the user, the target will believe the imprinted lie as the absolute truth. However, it only works if the other person receives the gift, and it consumes magical energy when imprinting a lie.
– This item is only for [Main], [Asmodian], And [Demon].
─────────────────
Tears of Beris, the demon of lies.
It’s like a disposable hypnosis app in the form of a jewel.
It may be a valuable item that cannot be used by races that use magic, but for Kang Seo-jun, it is simply a means of supplying dimensional currency.
Kang Seo-jun rummaged through the completely powdered combination box and found Barry’s tears.
“Huh…?”
But not one, but two were caught.
Kang Seo-jun quickly raised his hand and checked the caught object.
A red gem in the shape of a water drop that glows like a flame.
In his hand, he clearly held two of Beris’s tears.
“Uh…!”
-Tiring!
At the same time as Kang Seo-jun let out a single exclamation, another message notification sound followed.
[Lucky Bonus!!! With the blessings of the constellations with the power of void and darkness, ‘Beris’ Tears’ will be copied twice!]
“Whew…!!!”
Kang Seo-jun’s eyes widened.
“Thank you!!”
[The constellation “Queen of the Deepest” Caresses your soul.]
[The constellation 《Wise Old Snake》 sticks out its tongue as it looks at you.]
.
.
.
“You’re lucky~”
Thanks to the blessings of the constellations, I received an unexpected bonus.
“If this is it…!”
◆Characteristics
[Hunchback Lv. Lowest], [Club Lv. Lowest], [Twisted Arm Lv. Lowest]
You can take care of those three things at once.
Kang Seo-jun immediately opened a dimensional store and put ‘Berry’s Tears’ on the shelf.
[※Store Notice: This is an expensive product. Do you really want to sell it?]
The answer is ‘yes’ without hesitation.
-Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Shoot!
With a sound effect as if a lot of gold coins were being poured, Kang Seo-jun’s dimensional currency rose to a high level.
Kang Seo-jun’s hands got busy.
As soon as he confirmed the amount of dimensional currency, he immediately went to the consumables tab and selected ‘Business World Reconstruction Serum’.
[※Store Notice: This is an expensive product. How much would you like to purchase?]
“Two to get rid of club feet, two to get rid of a twisted arm, three to get rid of a hunchback.”
There are a total of 7 ‘Business World Reconstruction Serums’ required to repair the distorted body.
There are only 3.5 ‘Business World Reconstruction Serums’ that can be purchased for each ‘Beris’ Tears’.
Without hesitation, Kang Seo-jun used up all his dimensional currency and purchased 7 ‘Business World Reconstruction Serum’.
-Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Seven syringes fell in front of Kang Seo-jun, just like canned drinks falling from a vending machine.
Kang Seo-jun held up one of the ‘Business World Reconstruction Serum’.

Business Reconstruction Serum
◆Grade
[Narrative]
◆Description
– The essence of biotechnology created by a highly developed space civilization. The administered area is rebuilt into a superhuman body in proportion to the stat increase.
– The appropriate capacity is 1 each for the arms and legs, and 3 for the torso. It cannot be administered to the head.
– The growth limit of strength, agility, durability, stamina, and sensory stats at the injection site increases significantly.

-Gulp….
Kang Seo-jun swallowed his saliva when he saw the scary serum needle.
It was adamantium that shined elegantly in matte silver and could pierce human bones like tofu.
The thickness was so thick that it was closer to a wire than a needle.
In fact, this was not a blood vessel injection that only had to pierce the skin, but a bone injection that had to be driven deep into the body.
No matter how much Kang Seo-jun had the willpower of 30, he couldn’t help but feel nervous about piercing his own bones with adamantium.
“Let’s finish it quickly…”
Kang Seo-jun first put a leather belt in his mouth and aimed his needle at his elbow.
The elbow is the hardest and most pointed part of the arm.
The needle had to go in here.
– Kuuk….
-Uduk. Patter! Simplicity and honesty!
The sound of bones and the scream of nerves transmitted directly to the brain.
“Big!!!!”
Foam began to form at Kang Seo-jun’s mouth.
The two eyes moved in different directions.
“Yes, yes…!!”
-Shoouuuuuk….
However, Kang Seo-jun endured all the pain with superhuman willpower and administered the serum without leaving a single drop.
Two shots on both elbows. Two hits on the patella of both knees. One shot to the cervical spine. One shot to the tailbone. One shot in the middle of the thoracic spine….
[You used the ‘Business Reconstruction Serum’. The attribute 《Prosperity Reconstruction Serum (Right Arm) Lv. Narrative》 has been added.]
[You used the ‘Business Reconstruction Serum’. The attribute 《Prosperity Reconstruction Serum (Left Leg) Lv. Narrative》 has been added.]
[You used the ‘Business Reconstruction Serum’. The attribute 《Business Reconstruction Serum (Lower Body) Lv. Narrative》 has been added.]
.
.
.
[You used the ‘Flood System Reconstruction Serum’ on all areas where it could be used. All 《Prosperity Reconstruction Serum》 characteristics are unified into the attribute 《Prosperity Reconstruction Serum (whole body) Lv. Legend》.]
A total of seven serum administrations were completed.
“Ugh….”
Kang Seo-jun looked up at the ceiling with eyes that had lost focus.
I was in so much pain along the way that I thought about asking Jin Se-rin or Seo Eun-ha, but in the end, if I couldn’t do it, they couldn’t do it either, so I couldn’t give up.
But now the painful mountain has been overcome.
“What’s left is to grow your physical stats as much as possible, regardless of the means and methods, and be reborn with an ideal body.”
As the body was gradually rebuilt into its ideal form, debuff characteristics such as twisted arms, hunchbacks, and club feet would naturally disappear.
[Strength experience increases by stealing the host’s experience!]
[Durability experience increases by stealing the host’s experience!]
[Sensory experience increases by stealing the host’s experience!]
.
.
.
“Oh.”
It seemed like Park Shin-hoo had just started training in the morning.
-Wiggle.
The muscles of my entire body wriggled happily in response to the experience level notification.
Change had already begun.
“It’s definitely effective.”
At this rate, it seemed like my body could reach the normal level sooner than I thought.
“Once all debuff characteristics are cured, the next target is ‘Heavenly Mujiche’.”
Cheonmujiche.
It is a characteristic that refers to the highest level of physical talent in the martial arts worldview and is one of the prerequisites for learning the Heavenly Demon Godkong.
“And after obtaining the heavenly body….”
◆Heavenly Demon God Technique
※This product is not yet available for purchase. [Reason: lack of dimensional currency, lack of required abilities, lack of required conditions.]
Run with the goal of achieving Heavenly Demon Godkong, an essential skill for Wang Gui.
The corner of Kang Seo-jun’s mouth twitched as if he had already achieved the Heavenly Demon’s Divine Skill.
-Jump up!
With enough motivation, Kang Seo-jun got up from the sofa.
I cried out in pain as my pierced limbs oozed blood, but I felt good thinking that even this was a process of becoming stronger.
Now it is lunch time.
The next schedule was to train the body with Jin Se-rin’s help.
-Tut-duh-duh.
As if he had been waiting for it, Kang Seo-jun’s cell phone rang.
The sender is Jin Se-rin.
“The body transformation has finally begun.”
Kang Seo-jun pressed the call button, his eyes shining with anticipation.
In his eyes, he was already glimmering with himself, having gained a thousand years of age.
