Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 34

Minhyuk had already heard Professor Raymon’s explanation about the elves.
So he knew the characteristics of their race.
The elves were a race that had lived in the forest since time immemorial.
They could emit an aura similar to the forest’s energy.
Because of this characteristic, the elves could move safely through the forest without being detected by beasts.
However, their ability to conceal themselves wasn’t perfect.
That’s why they were often captured by goblins.
But compared to humans, they had a much easier time moving through the forest to gather Pukari Berries.
“Bring me 100,000 Pukari Berries within 7 days. Then I will hand over your kin.”
Minhyuk specifically stated his demand to Jeria.
She waved her hands, saying it was impossible.
“That’s too many in such a short amount of time!”
“Are you saying you can’t do it?”
“It’s not that I can’t do it... Could you maybe reduce it to 50,000?”
Minhyuk and Jeria began to negotiate.
“90,000.”
“60,000!”
“80,000.”
“70,000!”
“Good. Bring me 70,000 within 7 days.”
Originally, Minhyuk only needed 50,000.
If he acquired 70,000, he would have a surplus of 20,000.
Pukari fruits were 5.56mm bullets.
‘Maybe I should start selling bullets?’
Of course, he didn’t mean it literally.
It would be better to have extra Pukari fruits rather than run out while hunting Teidons.
“Understood. I will gather 70,000 Pukari fruits within 7 days. Until then, please take good care of our kin!”
“I understand.”
“However, we don’t have a place to store that many fruits. So starting tomorrow, no, starting today, we will bring the Pukari fruits we gather each day directly here.”
“Good.”
The elves handed over the supplies they had brought to Asdel’s soldiers.
They were hundreds of sets of clothes for their kin inside the fortress.
Jeria expressed her gratitude to Minhyuk.
“Thank you for saving our kin.”
“No need to thank me. I didn’t retake the fortress to save the elves.”
“Even so... Thank you!”
She led her companions and returned to the forest.

A wanted notice was posted in Melbeck Citadel.
The people of Melbeck were in turmoil.
The just previous king had suddenly died,
and now, the respected general had become a wanted man.
Someone reading the wanted notice quietly recited, making sure the soldiers wouldn’t hear.
“A sign of ruin has fallen upon the kingdom.”
A man with his hood pulled low over his face was among the crowd.
It was Tarman, the subject of the wanted notice.
Thud-
He gritted his teeth to suppress his anger.
Then he left the plaza and headed for the city gate.
The wanted notice was also posted on the city gate.
But the soldiers didn’t apprehend him.
The captain of the guard approached him and whispered softly.
“You’ve suffered, General.”
The captain of the guard was indebted to Tarman.
“And I’m sorry...”
However, all the captain could do to help Tarman was to turn a blind eye to him passing through the city gate.
Tarman patted him on the shoulder and said,
“Even if it’s an unjust law and an evil king, it’s a soldier’s duty to follow. I’m a traitor, hahahahaha.”
“General···.”
Tarman passed through the city gate.
And went outside the territory of Kaho and into the forest.
Two women on horses entered Tarman’s sight.
His old mother and daughter.
“Father!”
“Lynn! You escaped safely with Grandmother!”
Tarman’s only daughter, Lynn, was the most skilled in martial arts among the young generation of Melbeck.
Since she was little, she trained by hunting beasts outside the territory of Kaho with her father.
“Leave quickly, go to Asdel and find my friend Drake! He will take care of you and Grandmother. And deliver this to him.”
Tarman handed a letter to his daughter.
“Are you really not coming with us, Father?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I have to stay here and find evidence of that bastard’s actions.”
Lynn looked at her father with a worried expression and said,
“Please be careful.”
“Don’t worry about me, and be careful yourself. Take good care of Grandmother.”

The soldiers’ wounds were healed with the potions supplied by Minhyuk, and the return time was added.
In a way, the soldiers were ‘geese that laid return time eggs’.
“Let’s go back!”
Minhyuk led his troops and returned to the Taming Fortress.
They would reorganize the unit before attacking the second habitat.
They needed to resupply Pancho’s armor, which had become rags, as well as crossbow bolts and potions.
It was time to go shopping.
“Return.”
Pop-
They returned to the van with a blinding flash.
They would return the van this evening.
Then they would rest in the evening.
They would buy expensive clothes and eat delicious food.
Then they would visit a real estate office tomorrow morning to look for a house to move into.
They would buy more items after renting a truck tomorrow afternoon.
So, let’s do some serious shopping before returning the van.
Boom-
He drove the car and stopped by a stationery wholesaler first.
“400 dozen 2B pencils with erasers... no, 1,000 dozen, please.”
There were 12 pencils in a dozen.
1,000 dozen was 12,000 sets of Pancho’s armor.
It was enough to supply 3 sets to each of the 4,000 soldiers.
“That many? We don’t have that many in stock from the same brand.”
“The manufacturer doesn’t matter. As long as the lead is 2B.”
If the brand didn’t matter, but the color or the specifications of the lead were different, it would turn into something completely different.
Just like how a USB’s capacity, if different, could turn into something completely different.
And anything that turned out that different was always useless.
“That’ll be 3,985,500 won.”
Minhyuk paid for the pencils in cash.
“Can I use a dolly?”
“Yes, of course.”
Minhyuk used the dolly to carry the pencils to the taxi.
Then he returned the dolly and exited the wholesale store.
Minhyuk’s steps towards the taxi were a bit hurried.
‘Next, I have to go buy the eggs.’
That was when it happened.
Thud—
He slipped on something and fell.
Like a cartoon character from the old days slipping on a banana peel, he flew into the air and fell hard.
‘Ouch, my arm!’
The embarrassment hurt more than the pain.
He quickly got up in case someone saw him.
When he checked the ground, he saw that someone had dropped ice cream.
He had slipped on the melted ice cream and fallen.
Who could he blame?
It was his own fault for not looking where he was going because he was in a hurry.
He was in too much of a hurry to buy the items quickly and have fun.
Minhyuk got into the driver’s seat of the taxi.
When he reached for the steering wheel, his wrist hurt terribly.
He had landed on it the wrong way when he fell.
He would have to keep using his wrist to carry the items and put them in the refrigerator.
‘Oh, man.’
That was when a thought crossed Minhyuk’s mind.
A thought that he had vaguely had before.
But he had never actually put it into practice.
Minhyuk got out of the driver’s seat.
Then he opened the trunk and put his hand on the refrigerator.
“Return.”
Bang—
With a flash, he was transported to the Black Fortress.
His wrist still throbbed.
“Inventory.”
I took out a bottle of red liquid from the refrigerator and drank it.
Then the throbbing stopped.
“Return.”
Pop-
I was back in the real world.
I turned my wrist to look at it.
It didn’t hurt at all.
My wrist was completely healed.
‘I knew it!’
I had been overlooking another use for the refrigerator.
