Chapter 122: What Aosa Left Behind (1)

The shortest time to rank number one in the video section.

The shortest time to reach ten million views in the video section.

The shortest time to reach one million recommendations in the video section.

The shortest time to accumulate one hundred million won in donations in the community's history!

However, the person responsible for these incredible achievements was scratching his belly while watching the scene of amazing harmony.

"Four titles... I'm pretty amazing."

For reference, the 'scene of amazing harmony' was talking about the current state of the community board.

Are these the same people who were fighting like crazy just a few hours ago?

Once they realized there was no reason to fight, the disputes disappeared as if they had never existed, and what filled the space was praise and admiration for him!

Of course, the embarrassment from this was entirely his own to bear.

Well, it's good that there's no fighting on the board. And the donations are coming in well...

What truly surprised Han Jung-Woo was that someone had donated a whopping thirty million won at once.

"Must be a die-hard fan who sincerely supports me."

He felt a warm feeling in his heart, thinking about the kind supporter who expected nothing in return.

With that thought, Han Jung-Woo turned off his computer.

Uploading three videos and surpassing one hundred million won in donations. Not bad.

Far from being just not bad, it was an exceptional success. Most people found it hard to earn even a million won after uploading thirty, even three hundred videos.

Moreover, his third video hadn’t even been up for a full day yet. As time went on, the views would increase, naturally bringing in more money.

I won’t have to worry about money for the next few years.

The money in his bank and savings accounts was diligently preparing for his future.

Feeling reassured by this, Han Jung-Woo slid into the capsule.

“This is where I feel most at ease.”

Taking in a deep breath of the fresh air that couldn't be found in modern society, Kai looked around. Small-scale construction was underway here and there on the streets.

It seems the city reconstruction event Bach mentioned has started.

As Kai was observing his surroundings, a few NPCs approached him.

“Saint, what are you doing here? You must be tired.”

“Did you come because you heard about the city reconstruction?”

“No, not exactly... Have many adventurers gathered?” Kai asked.

“More or less. The teleport gate needs to be fixed first, though. Adventurers are arriving too slowly.”

“Still, I don't know where they are coming from, but they're steadily coming."

“Teleport gate, huh.” Nodding at their words, Kai looked around.

There are definitely more players than usual.

The streets were much livelier than when he had logged out.

Adventurers were gathering in small groups, constantly sharing opinions and information.

“Oh, I didn’t understand that part, but now I get it.”

“There was a request to set up a clock tower there, so we need to secure that site.”

“It’s no use for us adventurers to make plans. We need approval before construction starts. When is the new lord arriving?”

“Hey, there’s not enough space for a large stone building there. Have you considered the surrounding buildings?”

“You’re not the only one who thought that. I also regretted many times that if I had handed over the Elven potion recipe, this wouldn’t have happened,” Ayana’s mother said.

“I-I also thought every night before bed, if I had studied harder, I might have been able to save Mom and Dad.”

The three of them looked at each other with loving eyes.

Kai felt a deep bond between them that others could not easily intrude upon.

They are family.

No amount of wealth or heavenly treasure could be more precious than family. However, Ayana’s parents were herbalists responsible for their patients' lives. They had to endure the painful choice between family and professional ethics.

The situation itself was wrong from the start,

Kai spoke as he looked at Ayana's parents who were smiling bitterly. “Both of your decisions were the right one, and as herbalists, you made an honorable choice without shame. The unfortunate situation was entirely the fault of the selfish, greedy lord. Please continue to live proudly, without regretting your decisions.”

Kai stroked Ayana’s head as he continued to say, “This is the first time we're meeting, but I want to say that I've always wanted to meet you both. Whenever I looked at Ayana, I wondered what kind of people her parents were, how upright and honorable they must be for their child to grow up so pure and honest."

“Oh my.”

The best way to touch parents was to compliment their children!

When Kai linked Ayana to their past choices, their expressions visibly relaxed.

“I see... Children do learn by watching their parents.”

“Even if we had accepted the lord’s proposal, I doubt we could have laughed as cheerfully as before. Even the thought of not being an honorable father to my daughter is terrifying.”

Relieved of their burden, they gratefully bowed their heads to Kai.

“Thank you again for your invaluable teaching.”

“Truly, thank you. Elves do not easily make friends, but we would be honored to be your friends.”

“Please, you’re embarrassing me,” Kai, feeling a bit shy, sipped his tea.

[You drank Elven Herb Tea.]

[Your mind feels clear.]

[Amity with the elves increased.]

[Amity with the spirits increased.]

Wow.

It was indeed an excellent tea.

Kai, feeling pleased with the refreshing sensation enveloping his mouth, said, “Um... did you say these tea leaves come from the Elven Forest?”

“Yes, that is where I’m from,” Ayana’s mother replied.

It wasn’t surprising that an elf would come from the Elven Forest.

After pondering for a moment, Kai explained his situation to her.

“A Solaris Cleric and Apostle? I’ve certainly heard of it. Before that... may I please take a look into your eyes for a moment?”

“My eyes?”

Though puzzled, Kai met her gaze directly.

After a brief moment, she exclaimed in slight surprise, “Oh my, it’s true. You really are the heir of the Solarian God Helik.”

“...You can tell just by looking into my eyes?”

“Didn’t you know? Elves can discern lies by looking into someone’s eyes. We call it the Eyes of Truth. By the way, your truth level is quite high right now.”

“T-truth level...?”

It was a term that sounded like it belonged among high schoolers!

Despite the minor misunderstanding, Kai gathered himself and got to the point. “Then I trust you understand what I wish to ask.”

“Of course.” She smiled and, without hesitation, said, “I’ll tell you the way to the Elven Forest.”
