70 – Episode 70 Plague
‘It was because of animal oil.’
I picked up a piece of soap piled up in a manufacturing facility.
“Great…”
A bad smell came in.
“Why are you using oil from animals? “Can’t I use vegetable oil?”
The solution is surprisingly simple.
You can use vegetable oil.
But…
“You mean vegetable oil… I haven’t thought about it. But,”
“Just?”
“Animal fat is easy to obtain. “The price is that much cheaper.”
“It’s easy to get? “It won’t be easy to drain the oil anyway, right?”
To make one cup of oil
A lot more animals or plants are needed than that.
There are many such animals and plants…
‘There it is.’
At the same time as I realized the reason,
The soap maker explained.
“It’s a monster. Cadavers with expensive parts removed are cheaper. “The oil is extracted from there.”
Plants.
To be exact, fruit.
Extracting oil from there is expensive.
One cup of vegetable oil is bound to be more expensive than the price of dozens of baskets of fruits used to make it.
But, animal oil.
In particular, oil extracted from discarded monster corpses is cheap.
Because there are no other costs other than labor costs.
‘Plus, the quantity is enormous.’
It’s not called Monster Island for nothing.
Carcasses from which oil could be extracted were widespread.
“Are animal fats used on the continent too?”
“Of course. “There are monsters on the continent too.”
In this world, there was a rational reason for making soap from animal fat.
Even so…
This does not help much with hygiene.
Who would rub soap with an unpleasant odor on their body?
“First, bring the paper.”
I wrote down the soap making method on paper.
Using the designer’s guidance skills.
[Completeness 34]
As expected, the level of completion is low.
“Do other places make soap this way?”
“Almost everyone makes it this way. It is said that some cities have a special recipe… But even the soap smells like soap.”
Poor smell of soap.
It seemed like the special recipe also included animal fat.
“Bring all the oil from the city plain. In particular, bring all the oil extracted from plants. “If you say my name, I will give it to you.”
“Ah… I understand.”
.
.
Collected the oil in the plane.
The variety was considerable.
Goblin oil.
Oak oil.
Troll oil.
And so on.
Oil extracted from various animals,
There was oil extracted from plants.
In particular, among vegetable oils,
“Olive?”
A memory from Earth came to mind.
The olive soap I had at home.
Unfold the blank paper,
I created a soap blueprint.
The basic framework provided by the manufacturer was maintained.
Instead, olive oil was used instead of animal oil.
Then,
[Completeness 63]
“This is it!!!”
The specific gravity of the ingredients has not been adjusted in detail yet.
Despite this, the level of completion has doubled.
While I was at it, I drew several blueprints,
I was able to raise the level of olive soap perfection to 71.
“Get more of this oil.”
He said, holding up a bottle of olive oil.
Then,
“Olive oil is difficult to find. “This is also a small amount taken from a rich family.”
According to the manufacturer’s explanation,
Olives grow in the south of the continent.
It is said that because the weather is cold on Monster Island, it does not grow.
‘I tried to make it even at a high price…’
If it is so difficult to obtain,
It was not suitable for making large quantities of soap.
I put the olive soap blueprint aside.
What should I do if the completeness level is over 70?
It is difficult to obtain raw materials.
“It’s not easy.”
I liked it because I made it to level 70 in one day.
As expected, it did not end easily.
From this day on, design work began in earnest.
All the oil collected at the factory was used.
Completeness 31
Completeness 27
Completeness 34
…
Completeness 38
Stretch out,
I leaned against the chair.
“How many days has it been?”
“It’s the fourth day. “Lord So.”
I was talking to myself, but I heard an answer next to me.
When I turned my head, I saw a soap maker.
“Since when have you been there?”
“Whenever I passed away, I always stayed next to Youngju So.”
“Is that so? “I’m sorry.”
I thought they only brought rice, but
I guess he was always next to me.
By the way.
‘It can’t go on like this.’
All vegetable oils, including olive, were difficult to obtain.
The price is also expensive.
So I tried mixing animal oil and vegetable oil.
Dozens of blueprints created that way.
None of them had a completion level of over 40.
“I will take a rest. So, you too, rest.”
The manufacturer’s face brightened.
“Thank you. “Lord So.”
When we left the soap factory,
The strong sunlight stung my eyes.
“Was it midday?”
When I got off work after four days,
I was even losing my sense of time.
I trudged to the government office.
But all I could think about was soap.
‘Just make super expensive soap?’
Even if you make it like this, it will cost less than the cost of the potion.
“But it’s still expensive.”
It’s just cheaper than potions,
It was too expensive to be used as a consumable.
‘Should I just change the image?’
Even if it smells, just use it because it is good for your body.
Should we do a campaign like this?
“Now I can think of all sorts of things.”
It must mean that it is that difficult.
Designer’s Guidance (Lv 1)
Helps you when creating a design.
The level of completeness is indicated, but
From Noble mtl dot com
It does not provide information on the overall situation, including from raw materials to sales.
“Well, the skills aren’t even gods. “I can’t do everything.”
Once we arrived at the government office,
Issac came out to meet us.
“Master, thank you for your hard work.”
“It wasn’t that bad. “Let’s take a nap and then talk.”
“I have tidied up my bedroom. Rest in peace.”
Arriving at the bedroom,
I washed my body.
I used soap on purpose.
Forcing myself to endure the smell of soap.
After washing, I lay down on the bed.
A foul smell crept up.
“Ah… The soap is really too much.”
If you weren’t very tired,
I almost had trouble sleeping because of the smell.
When I woke up,
It got dark outside.
“What time is it?”
I left the room.
Except for the two knights guarding the door, the hallway was deserted.
“Young Master Su, are you leaving?”
“Okay, I guess I’ll have to walk a bit.”
I left the government office with the escort knight.
‘When you look at it like this, it’s very different from Korea.’
City Plain.
It is a big city on the frontier.
Still, the road was quiet at night.
There is no one walking around.
The lights are turned off in every house.
When I walked for such a long time,
An unusually bright street caught my eye.
“Where is it?”
“That is…”
The knights exchanged glances as if they were troubled.
“It’s okay, just tell me.”
“I’m a brothel.”
“Is that why you made it bright like that?”
I headed to the red-light district.
Then, one of the knights opened his mouth as if he was embarrassed.
“This is no place for you, Lord So, to go.”
“Me? Why? “I’m an adult?”
“That’s not what I meant…”
“It’s okay. “I’m just looking around the streets.”
When two knights appeared in the brothel,
It became quiet for a moment.
But,
This was only for a moment.
Because they were busy playing with themselves again.
“Good.”
It was easy to look around because people didn’t care.
Isn’t it uncomfortable to get attention for no reason?
That too in the red-light district.
At that time,
“Be loyal to Lord So!! “Chuuu!!”
The loud cheers that filled the street made everyone in the red-light district look at me.
Then, the people who were playing got up and said hello.
“Lord So.”
“Lord So.”
“No… No… I’m fine, so just do what you’re doing!”
After saying it several times,
I sat down again.
Even then, I couldn’t play comfortably like before.
The man who made this happen approached me with a bright smile.
“It fills my heart to see Lord So on such a bright moon day.”
“Guard Captain, why are you here? This time?”
“I was managing security. I am the captain of Plain’s security. “Isn’t it true?”
After a while,
Guards appeared all over the streets.
At first, I thought I was there to have fun,
It seems like he was a real security official.
“Well… I guess people feel safe because there are security guards.”
“Of course. The former city manager… hmm, anyway, he told me to guard this street even at night.”
Then he gave me a tip.
The taxes paid by brothel owners are quite high.
“By the way… It’s too complicated.”
The guards surrounded me tightly.
Because of the wall they built, nothing of the brothel was visible.
“hahahaha. Sorry. Everyone, focus on maintaining public order. “I will serve you, Lord Su!”
I walked through the red-light district with two escort knights and the guard captain.
‘It’s worth paying a lot of taxes.’
I saw people filling the red-light district.
And the lights that brighten the streets.
“Huh?”
I approached a building.
The woman standing at the entrance looked surprised.
I went to the entrance and stretched out my hand.
The woman’s face turned red.
I ignored it and touched the lamp that illuminated the building.
“It’s not an artifact.”
There are two main types of items that light up in this world.
Light artifact.
And the lamp.
“Do they use monster oil here?”
The woman was very surprised.
“Lord… I will call the owner. “Lord So.”
